I'm still waiting for this week's news to gel into something like a theme, but it's getting a little late. In the meantime, lots of material in the usual categories. The government appears to have temporarily kicked the can down the road on the greatest calamity that can befall them, a temporary stop in the money spigot. As WaPoo reports House passes bill to avert government shutdown, sends to Senate "Senate leaders say they will take up the legislation ‘as soon as possible’ to beat the Saturday deadline when federal funds expire." Don't work too hard.
In Secret Service Agents Open Fire on D.C. ‘Youth’ Breaking Into Their Car, Stacy McCain identifies an angle in the Secret Service shootout story that I hadn't: "By the way, why do you think those Secret Service agents decided to shoot at these thieves who were “breaking a window on a parked and unoccupied government vehicle”? Isn’t it likely that the intent of the thieves was to steal what was inside the vehicle, rather than stealing the vehicle itself? And what do you think Secret Service agents might have kept locked up in their vehicle? Oh, yes — GUNS!" There were probably some real assault weapons in the van, not some bowdlerized AR15s without automatic fire capability. Rebeka Zeljko at Da Fed notes The Gun Joe Biden Doesn’t Want You To Have Just Protected His Own Granddaughter. At NYPo, First photos emerge of cocaine found at the White House — but we still don’t know whom it belonged to, but I strongly suspect the Secret Service does.

Matt Vespa at Town Hall suggests If This Is True, Biden's Incompetence Cost American and Israeli Lives.

I'm sure they'll put it to good use. PJM's Linc Brown finds 400 Government Officals (sic) Sign a Letter Objecting to Biden's Israel Stance.

Politico whines Pollsters aren’t the only ones giving Biden bad news on the economy. "“The economy should be something of a tailwind for the president, but it may not be enough of a tailwind, given everything else that’s going on.” Beege Welborn comments "Man, they just keep trying to find that glimmer of hope to talk themselves into." At ZeroHedge, Biden Has "Hurt The Economy A Lot" According To 33% Of Americans, While Only 14% Say They're Better Off. Beege again, 'Survey Says!' #Bidenomics Sucks So Bad It Blows "Dems will keep up the “disconnect” language to the bitter end, while implying how stupid we all really are…until we aren’t." At Da Caller Reagen Reese hears Biden’s Inner Circle Is Reportedly Scrambling To Salvage ‘Bidenomics’ Messaging After Months Of Failure and Will Kessler at Da Caller observes Bidenomics Is Making This The Most Expensive Thanksgiving In History "Desserts were hit hard under the president, with frozen and refrigerated bakery products like pies, tarts and turnovers jumping 31.8% since January 2021, according to the BLS. Similarly, cakes, cupcakes and cookies increased in price over the same period by 23.8%." CNBC cited at Hat Hair reports UBS Sees Fed Cuts Coming But There's a Catch "UBS expects the U.S. Federal Reserve to cut interest rates by as much as 275 basis points in 2024, almost four times the market consensus, as the world’s largest economy tips into recession." Beege says "Of course it will be “on the back of a recession.” Which #Bidenomics will have had NOTHING to do with. Curious if they’ll even tell him about it…or if he’d remember if they did?"
At PM, Donald Trump trounces Joe Biden in 2024 Electoral College match up, DeSantis would get blown out: national survey. "The poll found that Trump was on track to win back four key swing states that Biden had won in 2020: Arizona, Georgia, Pennsylvania, and Wisconsin." But did they count the mail-in ballots yet? J Bob Smith at Am Think thinks It’s Not November 2024 "Other than a feelgood rush, so what? The official date for the ‘24 elections is November 5, though Election Day has become a nugget surrounded by gobs of ballot-stuffing and electronic hijinks. November 5 is now less than a year hence. Whatever the polls report today won’t necessarily reflect outcomes then, even if they’re honestly tallied." Da Caller reports Vivek Ramaswamy Launches FireRonna.com After Viral Debate Callout Of RNC Chair. Don Surber, What have Republicans done for us? Lately? Ever? "I am voting for Trump next year but I may leave the rest of my ballot blank because Republicans are not worthy of my support. It won’t be Donald Trump killing Republicans down ballot; it will be Republican indifference to the electorate that will cost them." At the Wombat's In The Mailbox: 11.14.23, Shawn Fleetwood at Da Fed echoes the sentiment, The GOP Is A Fake Opposition Party With No Vision For The Country.

A triple from Althouse on Trump Troubles, "The audible portions of the Fulton recordings reviewed by The Post do not appear to directly implicate Trump." "At one point in [Sidney] Powell’s interview, she said Trump really believed he had won — a statement that could help his defense, " "In all four of the criminal trials Mr. Trump is facing, he has opted to pursue a strategy of creating noisy conflict to obscure the legal issues at play..." "Look, Trump is the leading candidate for President of the United States. Everyone in the country has a vital interest in keeping an eye on him and seeing him as he really is. The judge has tools enough to control her courtroom. Let us see the proceedings!", and "A judge on Tuesday ruled Donald Trump can appear on the primary ballot in Michigan, delivering the latest setback...", "... to those who contend Trump sparked an insurrection Jan. 6, 2021, and is barred from running for president again as a result..."

Kerry Picket at WaT reports FBI accused of targeting Trump types; agents who served in military deemed ‘disloyal.’ Miranda Devine@mirandadevine "Signs that an FBI employee was a “right-wing radical and disloyal to the United States,” were “failure to wear a face mask, refusing to take the COVID-19 vaccination and participating in religious activities.”" The FBI, which was never authorized by Congress must be destroyed, and it's few remaining legitimate functions moved elsewhere.
