Patriots are in control
Washington can tolerate a failing Pentagon. What it can’t seem to tolerate is someone tearing down its sacred cows and refusing to apologize.
“They attack us because we are effective.”
Watch his answer to the people trying to impeach him, especially the message he delivers straight to the troops.

He was 80 years old and just picking up his amps from the repair shop.
Bob Wood plugged in his 1968 Epiphone Riviera to test them at a Nashville shop in 2014, played "Bésame Mucho," and a tech grabbed a camera.
Back in 1968, he'd turned down Sam Phillips' offer to play sessions at Sun Records so he could raise his nine kids.
Bob passed in 2022 at 88. He played to the end.

The British Crown & the Vatican control much of the East through their empires & East India Company. Jesuits established themselves in Asia around the 16th century. The British Crown and France made war on China forcing them to open their ports and allow their merchants to do business internally. Hong Kong was a British Colony until 1997 and the banks and merchant companies are still dominated by British bankers today. HSBC is a British-Hong Kong based bank with assets estimated at over 2.3 trillion. HSBC was founded by Thomas Sutherland of the Clan Sutheland who was also a British Crown knight. Countess Elizabeth Sutherland is the current head of this family along with her son Alastair Sutherland. The Sutherlands married with the Scottish Gordan clan and handed over their titles of Earl of Sutherland to them. Granville Gordan the 13th Marquess of Huntly is the current Chief and his son is Alastair Gordon the Earl of Aboyne. Peter Sutherland was a relative of Thomas Sutherland and former Director of the Royal Bank of Scotland. Peter Sutherland founded the World Trade Organization and Hong Kong is a member of the WTO. Peter Sutherland was Jesuit educated, a Vatican Knight of St Gregory, British Knight of the Order of St Michael and St George, French Knight of the Legion of Honour, Bilderberg member, and was a member of the Hong Kong Chief Executive's Council of International Advisers. Lui Che-woo of Hong Kong is worth about 11 billion and is a Member of the British Empire. Ka-shing Li from Hong Kong is worth about 37 billion and is a Knight of the British Empire. Yang Huiyan is a Chinese billionaire worth about 28 billion and went to Ohio State University.
Hong Kong has economic leverage over the rest of China. Under the British Colony they set up Queens College in Hong Kong which is where Norman Chan was educated. Norman Chan is Executive Director of the Hong Kong Monetary Authority and former Regional Vice-Chairman of the London based Standard Chartered Bank. Joseph Yam was the first Executive Director of the Hong Kong Monetary Authority and a Knight of the British Empire as well as on the board of directors for UBS. Chris Patten was the last Governor of Hong Kong under Queen Elizabeth II a position that existed until 1997. The position was replaced by the position of Chief Executive of Hong Kong with Tung Chee-hwa as the first head who was educated the University of Liverpool in England. Tung Chee-hwa is worth nearly a billion. Robin Li is a Chinese billionaire worth about 18 billion and he went to the University of Buffalo in New York. Jack Ma who is worth over 40 billion and owns Alibaba which was initially financed by Goldman Sachs with a 3-5 million start up investment before later receiving 20 million from Softbank. The Kwok brothers of Hong Kong are worth tens of billions and were born in Portuguese controlled Macau which was partly established by Jesuits. Raymond Kwok went to Harvard and Cambridge. Pansy Ho is worth about 5 billion and was Jesuit educated at Santa Clara University and also from Jesuit-Portuguese Macau. The Triads are an international crime syndicate mostly based out of Hong Kong and Macau.
The British attempted to take over China using opium to weaken the people. This caused the Chinese government to ban opium so the British Crown seized Hong Kong. Yusuff Ali M.A. is an Indian billionaire that does business in the UAE. Through the Convention of Peking the British Crown and Russia claimed lands and embassies in China. Joseph Lau of Hong Kong is worth about 15 billion & went to the University of Windsor in Ontario which is a continuation of the Jesuit's Assumption University. The British Crown & London businessmen still have major influences over banks and companies operating in India and China. Jesuit priest Mateo Ricci was the first westerner to enter the Forbidden City (Beijing) around 1600. Coincidently the Ming Dynasty was overthrown by the Qing during the Jesuits influence of the Imperial Court.

Elon Musk in a new interview today on Terafab:
"There's three possible meanings to Terafab. One is terror. I think sometimes people ask, 'Why would you want a terror fab?' Haha. Then there's Terra, which just means Earth, but it's actually Tera for terawatt. But arguably, all three apply."

U.S. Treasury Signals Possible Shift in Debt Financing Strategy for 2027
In Washington today, the United States Treasury has kept its near-term bond auctions steady, yet a quiet change in official language has opened the door to a different way of financing America’s growing debt as early as 2027.
In its November 4 quarterly refunding statement, the Treasury said it anticipates maintaining current auction sizes for nominal coupon securities and floating-rate notes for the next several quarters.
It removed the earlier phrase “at least.”
Analysts view that small edit as preserving flexibility for later adjustments.
A possible path in 2027 would involve modestly reducing sales of the longest bonds, especially 20-year and 30-year issues, while increasing shorter- and intermediate-term borrowing.
The total amount of debt would not shrink.
Only the maturity mix would change.
The government would still refinance large sums and fund ongoing needs, but a greater share would be rolled over more frequently.
This approach can benefit the United States by helping manage long-term interest costs.
Long bonds lock in rates for decades.
When demand softens or uncertainty rises, yields climb and the interest bill grows. Reducing the supply of those longest securities can ease upward pressure on long-term yields, supporting the Treasury’s goal of borrowing at the lowest sustainable cost over time.
The trade-off is more frequent refinancing of the shorter debt.
The scale remains substantial. Treasury projects roughly 618 billion dollars in privately held net marketable borrowing for the October-to-December 2026 quarter and about 800 billion dollars for January-to-March 2027. It plans to offer 125 billion dollars to refinance approximately 97 billion dollars of maturing notes and bonds, raising roughly 28 billion dollars in new cash.
For the U.S. dollar, the effects would flow mainly through yields and confidence.
Easing pressure on long-term yields can reduce one traditional support for the currency by making longer-duration U.S. assets relatively less attractive to foreign capital.
Heavier short-term issuance also raises rollover frequency; later rate moves or fiscal concerns could introduce periods of softness.
Credible cost management tends to support the dollar; any perception of weaker structural demand for Treasuries can weigh on it.
Gold prices typically respond to real yields, the dollar, and the fiscal backdrop.
Successful moderation of long-term yields lowers the opportunity cost of holding gold and can be supportive.
A softer dollar, should it emerge, would also tend to lift gold. Persistent large financing needs reinforce the longer-term fiscal narrative many investors already associate with the metal.
Silver generally moves with gold but carries a strong industrial component in solar, electronics, electric vehicles, and manufacturing.
Any yield or dollar support that lifts gold often transmits to silver, frequently with higher volatility. Lower long-term rates can also ease financing conditions for the industrial sectors that consume silver.
At the same time, silver’s industrial exposure means it can diverge if growth or investment slows.
In a scenario of contained borrowing costs and steady confidence, both metals can benefit, with silver potentially amplifying the move.
The bottom line is clear.
This is an indication that officials are keeping future financing options open as borrowing needs evolve.
Managing the structure and cost of debt is becoming as important as simply financing it.
The announcement does not cancel any debt, announce a global reset, or signal a currency revaluation. It simply shows continued evaluation of how best to manage America’s substantial obligations.
Sources include the Reuters report on the Treasury language shift and the official Quarterly Refunding Statement from Assistant Secretary for Financial Markets Hunter McMaster.

باراك من بغداد: العراق يختار السيادة على التبعية.. والولايات المتحدة تفتح أبواب الشراكة
أعرب المبعوث الأميركي توم باراك عن اعتزازه بلقاء رئيس الوزراء علي الزيدي في بغداد، مشبّهاً منطقة الشرق الأوسط بـ«مكعب روبيك»، حيث ترتبط جميع جوانبها ببعضها، ولا يمكن لأي دولة أو قوة خارجية حل تعقيداتها بمفردها.
وقال باراك إن العراق في عهد الزيدي يختار «السيادة على التبعية، والاستثمار على الركود، والشراكة على الوكالة»، مشيراً إلى أن دول المنطقة وحدها قادرة على تحريك مساراتها وبناء مستقبلها بالتعاون والتكاتف.
وأكد أن الولايات المتحدة تفخر بالوقوف إلى جانب العراق، والعمل على تعميق العلاقات الاقتصادية والتجارية، وفتح المجال أمام الشركات الأميركية والكفاءات العراقية لبناء ازدهار يعود بالنفع على الجميع.

🚨WHAT?! A study discovered fluorescent CARBON NANODOTS inside Coca-Cola and Pepsi that cross the BLOOD–BRAIN BARRIER.
The findings emerged after the Gates Foundation began investing in both PepsiCo and the world's LARGEST Coca-Cola bottler — a stake now valued at $660 MILLION
The nanoparticles are about 5 nanometers wide, composed of carbon, hydrogen, and oxygen, with GRAPHITIC structural features.
When administered to mice, the carbon nanodots invaded multiple organs, including the brain, heart, liver, kidneys, and lungs.
Similar carbon nanodots are being engineered for medical imaging, drug delivery, and cancer therapy.
One possible explanation is that they formed during high-temperature processing of sugars and caramel coloring.
Alternatively, carbon dots can be deliberately manufactured through chemical synthesis, using controlled heating, carbon precursors, and surface modifications to produce nanoparticles with specific properties.
The researchers could NOT establish the particles' exact origin.
