Trump names billionaire Scott Bessent as Treasury secretary pick
CNN —
President-elect Donald Trump named billionaire Scott Bessent as his pick to serve as the next secretary of the Department of the Treasury.
“Scott has long been a strong advocate of the America First Agenda. On the eve of our Great Country’s 250th Anniversary, he will help me usher in a new Golden Age for the United States, as we fortify our position as the World’s leading Economy, Center of Innovation and Entrepreneurialism, Destination for Capital, while always, and without question, maintaining the U.S. Dollar as the Reserve Currency of the World,” Trump said in a statement announcing the pick Friday, confirming CNN’s earlier reporting.
“Unlike in past Administrations, we will ensure that no Americans will be left behind in the next and Greatest Economic Boom, and Scott will lead that effort for me, and the Great People of the United States of America.”

Terrifying Infographic Shows Reach Of Russia’s New Hypersonic Missile: ‘London In 20 Minutes’
Update(1830ET): Soon after warning that Russia’s newly deployed ‘Oreshnik’ nuclear capable hypersonic missile is able to reach any European capital, at a top speed of Mach 10+ —which is significantly faster than a bullet—Russian state media issued the below ominous infographic.
It touts that Eastern European capitals could be hit in a matter of a few minutes, and that Berlin is reachable in only 15. It lists capitals as far away from the Kapustin Yar rocket launch complex like London and Paris as reachable by the Oreshnik in just 20 minutes. This means if proverbial all hell broke loose and WW3 came to Europe, these populations would have very little time to reach shelter.

Pope says Vatican’s pension fund faces ‘serious imbalance’
VATICAN CITY (Reuters) – Pope Francis said on Thursday the Vatican’s pension fund is facing a “serious imbalance” that may require changes to its operating structure, and appointed a senior cardinal to take over the fund’s administration.
In an unusual letter sent to all the world’s cardinals and to the leaders of the Vatican’s various offices, the pope did not quantify the scope of the issue.
He said the changes would include “making difficult decisions that will require particular sensitivity, generosity, and willingness to sacrifice on the part of everyone”.

Flatulence tax: Denmark agrees deal for livestock emissions levy
Denmark has agreed on how to implement the world’s first tax on agricultural emissions, including flatulence by livestock.
This comes after months of negotiations between the country’s major parties, farmers, the industry, trade unions and environmental groups. The Green Tripartite agreement was first announced in June.
From 2030, farmers will have to pay a levy of 300 kroner ($43; £34) per tonne of methane (as per carbon dioxide equivalent) on emissions from livestock including cows and pigs, which will rise to 750 kroner in 2035.

Ellen DeGeneres and wife Portia de Rossi have moved to rural England, put their Montecito estate on the market and plan to never return to the United States, telling friends the election of Donald Trump was their primary motivation, a person close to the former TV host told TheWrap.
Though the incoming Republican administration was the cited catalyst, a fresh start couldn’t hurt: DeGeneres has been open about being “kicked out of show business” after reports of toxic workplace behavior at the syndicated “Ellen” show in 2022.

Minnesota Election Judge Faces Felony Charges for Allowing Unregistered People to Vote
An election judge in Minnesota is now facing serious criminal charges after he allowed multiple unregistered residents to cast votes anyway in the recent election.
As reported by Breitbart, Judge Timothy Michael Scouton was responsible for overseeing the election process in Badoura Township, a small town with a population of roughly 100 people. Hubbard County Auditor Kay Rave filed a complaint after she determined that she could not find completed registration forms among the ballots she received from Scouton’s jurisdiction.
This complaint led to an investigation by the Hubbard County Sheriff’s Office. Eventually, another judge who worked with Scouton on election night came forward and told police that Scouton explicitly ordered voters to not fill out the Minnesota Voter Registration Application. A third judge said that Scouton simply told new voters to sign the back of a book rather than fill out any official forms.

Bill’s Commentary:
“Let me make this easy for you. If you lie about inflation, that adjusts the GDP deflator lower which will show an increase in real GDP, very simple! Now as an aside. If you want the lower CPI numbers to be believed, just knock the shit out of gold and silver with paper contracts to ultimately suppress the price. And, if you want to suppress gold prices, silver MUST be kept in the box because it will act as a fuse for gold blowing sky high and exposing the CPI fraud. This is all so easy… get it now?”
The United States has been in a recession for years.
Many commentators cannot understand why Trump won the elections despite a robust economy. The reality is far more complex. I have repeatedly stated in my articles and TV appearances on Making Money (Fox News) and CNBC’s Squawkbox Europe that the U.S. economy was significantly weaker than the official headlines suggested. I called it a “private sector recession”.
Anyone who has delved into the supposedly solid headline figures can clearly see the real weakness of the U.S. economy. An unsustainable increase in government spending and federal debt bloated the official GDP, making gross domestic income significantly weaker than headline GDP. Additionally, the Conference Board and University of Michigan consumer confidence readings, well below 2019 and 2021 levels, indicated a stagnant economy. Significant negative revisions and concerning elements were evident in the job reports.

Trump Team Weighs Courts-Martial For Officers Who Oversaw Afghanistan Withdrawal
Donald Trump’s transition team is making a list of senior military officers who oversaw the disastrous 2021 withdrawal of US forces from Afghanistan, and considering the possibility of court-martialing them for their failings, according to two sources cited by NBC News.
“They’re taking it very seriously,” said a source who claims to have knowledge of the initiative. The most notorious incident of the chaotic withdrawal was the Aug. 26, 2021 suicide bombing at Abbey Gate, just outside Hamid Karzai International Airport in the Afghan capital, Kabul. Thirteen US service members and more than 170 Afghan civilians were killed. In the following days, a US airstrike intended to kill the leader of the Islamic State instead killed 10 innocents. The rapid collapse of the US-sponsored Afghanistan government allowed enormous quantities of US weapons to fall into the hands of the Taliban.

China Will Pay Above Spot and is Buying Silver Concentrate Directly from Mexico, Peru and Bolivia.
By paying the above spot for Silver concentrate from Peru, Mexico, and Bolivia, they are also achieving another significant objective: US weapons and aerospace manufacturers now have to stand in line.
Reports emerging from China indicate that the country is importing silver concentrate directly from major producing nations like Peru, Bolivia, and Mexico.
This development has significant implications for the silver market, particularly as it suggests a shift away from traditional trading platforms such as COMEX.

Oklahoma Brings Bible Back To Classrooms In Major Win For Conservatives
Oklahoma conservatives have scored a significant victory as state Superintendent Ryan Walters announced the return of the Bible to classrooms across the state. Walters’ initiative, starting with Advanced Placement government classes, reflects a growing pushback against the leftist agenda that has dominated American education.
In a video posted on X, Walters shared the news of purchasing over 500 Bibles, declaring, “The Bible is back in Oklahoma’s classrooms. We are getting our kids back on track.” He also expressed his intent to expand the program further, aiming to place a Bible in every classroom in the state.

Pentagon fails 7th audit in a row but says progress made
The Pentagon on Friday failed its seventh audit in a row, with the nation’s largest government agency still unable to fully account for its more than $824 billion budget, though officials stress they are making good progress toward a clean audit in 2028.
The Department of Defense technically earned a disclaimer of opinion, meaning it failed to provide sufficient information to auditors to form an accurate opinion.

US Deficit Explodes: Blowout October Deficit Means 2nd Worst Start To US Fiscal Year On Record
It is only fitting that the twilight days of the Biden admin would exhibit more of the same fakeness that defined not only all of the past four years, but certainly the fakeness of that Kamala Harris presidential campaign which had a billion dollars a month ago and ended up in failure, broke and in debt. We are talking, of course, about the relentless debt-funded spree that somehow became synonymous with economic success in the US.

Gold Backed or Bust: Judy Shelton’s Plan to Tame the Fed and Restore the Dollar
Judy Shelton has spent her career advocating for sound money. Her latest book, Good as Gold: How to Unleash the Power of Sound Money, makes an up-to-date case for reinstituting a gold standard. Her intriguing conclusion is that the dollar can be reconnected to gold by simply issuing federal treasury bonds with gold-redeemability clauses. The book also addresses recent events and important current debates about monetary systems like whether central bankers should have wide policy discretion, whether fixed or floating exchange rates are better for economic growth, and what happens when countries manipulate their currency to boost exports.
Bill’s Commentary:
“Paul Tudor Jones is correct, the author in my opinion is smoking some really good HOPIUM! The logic here is this; it cannot happen now because it has never happened before…? And, because the US issues the world’s reserve currency, it can never run out of money. This is absolutely correct, but what the author is missing here is; we can never run out of money, however, that money may be worthless. Treasuries are (were) thought of as risk free from default. The reality is, GOLD/SILVER are the only monies risk free of default. Please read this article with this in mind, the author has everything backwards and forgets that fiat currency on a global basis is a rather new experience that has never been tried worldwide before.”
Paul Tudor Jones: I Won’t Own Fixed Income
Paul Tudor Jones recently voiced concerns that rising U.S. deficits and debt and increasing interest rates could lead to a fiscal crisis. His perspective reflects the long-standing fear that sustained borrowing will trigger inflation, raise interest rates, and eventually overwhelm the government’s ability to manage its debt obligations. In short, his thesis is that interest rates will rise as the Government goes broke. However, a closer look at historical precedent and current fiscal dynamics suggests these concerns are overstated. Contrary to Jones’ warnings, the U.S. economy has structural strengths that make an imminent fiscal collapse unlikely.

The Great ‘Splainin’ Cometh
“Many Democrats were considering how to navigate a dark future, with the party unable to stop Mr. Trump from carrying out a right-wing transformation of American government. Others turned inward, searching for why the nation rejected them. They spoke about misinformation and the struggle to communicate the party’s vision in a diminished news environment inundated with right-wing propaganda” — The New York Times
In July 27, 1794, the non-insane members of the Convention, or national legislative body in Paris, suddenly turned on the rabid Jacobin leader Maximillian Robespierre and overthrew his ruling tyrannical bunch — who had killed 40,000 of their fellow countrymen in the paranoid orgy known as The Reign of Terror. The next day, Robespierre rode the tumbrel to his own appointment with “the national razor” and the Thermidorian Reaction was on!
