It's All Saints Day, what Halloween is really supposed to be all about, before our secular age, not that I'm complaining, and, well, the government is still shut down. Remember, my tip was that the government would reopen about Nov. 15; it's too much trouble to pass the House's current clean CR, and then have to go through the same fight again a week or so later. So I guess SNAP recipients and air traffic controllers (not to mention the "swarms of Officers to harrass our people, and eat out their substance") will just have to hang tough. Capt. Ed at Hat Hair hears Trump to Senate GOP: Get Rid Of the Filibuster; UPDATE: Thune Rejects. Ace, Trump: Nuke the Filibuster, Pass the CR, "Around the country, air flights are facing 2-3 hour delays because air traffic controllers aren't being paid. The heads of United and Delta demanded the Democrats pass the clean CR." Nick Arama at RedState notes Hakeem Jeffries Shows How Hypocritical Dems Are, Gets Nailed Over His Paycheck During Shutdown. From WokeSpy, Rep. Mast Torches Dems Over Shutdown: ‘We Need Five Democrat Senators to Pull Their Heads Out of Their Asses.’ 'Becca Downs at Da Signal (that appears to be a move) reports State Attorneys General Join Together to Call for End to Shutdown.
The current fight is mostly about SNAP, aka Food Stamps, which has stopped in the absence of funding, which provides funding for something like 42 million people. Amanda Head at JTN reports the SNAP program rife with fraud, disparity and health issues for participants, government agencies say. "In the first quarter of 2024, nearly 177,000 fraud incidents were reported. The CDC noted that 2024-2025 data found that SNAP recipients continue to face disproportionately high rates of obesity and diabetes, particularly in low-income areas where participation exceeds 20% of households."

From Althouse, "I’m not going to be distracted by, ‘Oh, does the guy have a big f–king hammer!?’ What about those babies!?" ""This guy wants to create a ballroom for his rich friends while completely turning a blind eye to the fact that babies are going to starve when the SNAP benefits end in just hours from now. Come on "Said Kamala Harris, quoted in "Kamala Harris loses it, goes on expletive-laden rant about Trump’s donation-funded ballroom" (NY Post)." From ET, Federal Judge Weighs Forcing USDA to Pay SNAP Benefits Despite Shutdown "The judge suggested that the government should try to at least partially fund the benefits." Amy Curtis at TownHall sees Judges Order Trump Admin to Fund SNAP — There's Just One Problem "The Trump administration has long said it doesn't have the legal authority to use the contingency funds to pay for SNAP benefits during the prolonged Schumer Shutdown." The Peacock, Trump administration must pay SNAP benefits despite government shutdown, judge rules. Balmer Sun, Judges order the Trump administration to use contingency funds for SNAP payments during the shutdown. "Benefits for millions of people will be delayed in November because the process of loading cards can take a week or more in many states." Sarah Hoyt at Insty, THEY’RE GOING TO HAVE TO DECIDE. IF THEY DON’T WANT HIM TO BE A KING, THEY CAN’T ORDER HIM TO DO THINGS HE DOESN’T HAVE THE AUTHORITY TO DO: Judges Tell Trump Admin to Use Contingency Funds to Partially Cover SNAP. Atop Da Hill, Trump signals he’ll fund SNAP “Our Government lawyers do not think we have the legal authority to pay SNAP with certain monies we have available, and now two Courts have issued conflicting opinions on what we can and cannot do,” Trump posted on Truth Social. “I do NOT want Americans to go hungry just because the Radical Democrats refuse to do the right thing and REOPEN THE GOVERNMENT,” he continued. “Therefore, I have instructed our lawyers to ask the Court to clarify how we can legally fund SNAP as soon as possible.”
At the Pop Times, JD Vance Says He’s ‘Turned Over a New Leaf’ With Ukraine’s Zelensky After Oval Office Clash. WokeSpy, JD Vance Calls Marco Rubio His ‘Best Friend in the Administration’ After Trump Floats 2028 Ticket. T. Anderson at And Another Thing notes The next Republican will always be 'scarier' than the last "The "worst" until the new "worst."" At PJM Scott Pinsker has a WARNING: The Tucker Carlson-Nick Fuentes Bigots Are Targeting JD Vance. Much like Charlie Kirk, I was only barely aware of Fuentes' existence until recently. A leftist troll on Althouse likes to play him up, apparently he is one of the few arguably anti-Semitic people on the right they can point to.

Capt. Ed hears the whine Kamala: Selfish Biden Tried to Kneecap Me Before My Trump Debate. Drew Berquist, Kamala Harris Pushes to Lower Voting Age to 16, Citing ‘Climate Anxiety’ Among Teens, like Jeffrey Epstein Democrats like their voters young and stupid. Speaking of whines Twitchy, Michelle Obama Feels Her ‘First Family’ Was Treated Like Second-Class Citizens While in the White House. Western Lensman @WesternLensman, "Michelle Obama complains: “We didn't get the grace that I think some other (first) families have gotten."" Jesus Christ, they were treated like royalty.
Dave Strom at Hat Hair is amazed Bill Kristol Backs Mamdani, and Goldberg is SURPRISED? "Really, Jonah? It's actually pretty simple to understand why Bill Kristol is supporting Mamdani, and it boils down to this: Donald Trump has critiqued Mamdani; therefore, Kristol must be on the other side. Kristol's brand has moved on from "bomb everything" to "destroy Donald Trump." It is from this brand that he has built his current career." Sam E. Antar @SamAntar, "Soros tried to kill this story. The @DailyMail did not back down. They published anyway. $40M+ documented flows through 9 channels. 6 organizations coordinated operations—all endorsed same candidate, mobilized ground operations. Admitted publicly, denied on federal forms. My IRS whistleblower investigation is now public. Thank you to @DanaKennedyLive."

From the Free Bacon, Jay Jones Claimed $500,000 Fundraising Haul Showed Grassroots ‘Momentum and Enthusiasm.’ It Actually Came From a Single Dem PAC.

Ace reports the FBI Foils Halloween Terrorist Attack in Michigan; Bloated Blood Sausage JB Pritzker Demands Trump Suspend Deportation Operations So That Illegals Can Enjoy the Noted Religious Holiday Halloween "In Peace" "UPDATE: The planned terrorist attack originating in Dearbornistan was "ISIS-inspired."" Sundance at CTH, Director Patel Announces FBI Thwarted Michigan Terror Plot – NBC’s “Fusion Ken” Is Not Happy About It, "Apparently, if the FBI had waited a few days NBC would have been able to write about how Director Kash Patel and the FBI failed to stop a mass casualty even in Michigan.

Dave Strom is not happy that Pledging Allegiance to Somalia Is Becoming Common Among Democratic Candidates in Some Blue Cities.
Also from Sundance, DOJ and FBI Whistleblowers Continue Providing Evidence of Arctic Frost Targeting Operation. "If Pam Bondi and Kash Patel were in control of the root systems within their agencies, they would be the ones bringing forth the information; they are not. Bondi and Patel are not in control. Instead, the sunlight is coming from a few people within the organizations who are pushing the evidence out. Senator Johnson is providing a very deliberate point here:" Bonchie at RedState, The 'Arctic Frost' Spying Scandal Gets So Much Worse, and It Leads Back to Infamous Judge Boasberg, NewsBusters reports Jack Smith ‘Arctic Frost’ Subpoena Targeted Nonprofit that Didn’t Even Exist on Jan. 6, 2021.

Some quit, some were fired, others moved to state offices. A Driscolly post at Insty starts with SASHA STONE: No Country for Old Media: The Shameful Blackout on Arctic Frost. "Is it worse than Watergate? I think so. But you have to look at the big picture, not just one story. The Democrats’ ten-year war to prevent Trump from representing those who voted for him and to deny half the country their right to representation remains one of the biggest scandals in American history." John Solomon and Steve Richards report Kash Patel unearths another 'October Surprise' FBI plot targeting Trump before an election "Two weeks before Election Day 2020, FBI tried to make a criminal case against the Trump campaign over legal casino gambling." Shipwreckedcrew, 70 v. 2 -- Spare Me The Rending of Garments Over President Trump Corrupting The DOJ And "Persecuting His Enemies." "The chart below is a graphic representation of the path of destruction carved by partisan Democrat prosecutors against Pres. Trump and dozens of people whose biggest sin was supporting him."
The redoubtable Julie Kelly on substack, The Myth of the '20 minute timer' on the RNC Pipe Bomb "The only consistency in Karlin Younger's account of finding the RNC pipe bomb is her insistence that a timer on the device was set at a 20-minute mark. Turns out, no such timer existed." Both devices had mechanical 2 hr timers, even though they were found many hours after they were placed.
Shipwreckedcrew @shipwreckedcrew, "As predicted by moi -- from the Seventh Circuit just moments ago: "While this litigation presents very challenging circumstances, the district court’s order has two principal failings. First, it puts the court in the position of an inquisitor rather than that of a neutral adjudicator of the parties’ adversarial presentations. Second, it sets the court up as a supervisor of Chief Bovino’s activities, intruding into personnel management decisions of the Executive Branch. These two problems are related and lead us to conclude that the order infringes on the separation of powers. Review by appeal at the end of the case would not solve the problems created in the interim, which justifies review by a prerogative writ. See In re Commodity Futures Trading Commission, 941 F.3d 869 (7th Cir. 2019). Cf. Cheney v. United States District Court, 542 U.S. 367 (2004) Judge Ellis' Order that Chief of Patrol Bovino appear every day at 5:45 to answer her questions goes up in smoke." At JTN, Batalia Mittelstadt reports Appeals court blocks order for Border Patrol commander to give judge reports on Chicago operation. "“We are thrilled this act of judicial overreach has been paused,” the Department of Homeland Security said."AP is pretty happy a Federal judge rules Trump can’t require citizenship proof on the federal voting form. From WaEx, Trump tells Supreme Court striking down tariffs would ‘disarm’ him on international trade.
@ScottAdamsSays: "My ability to draw could be done this week. This might be the last time I draw — 'cause my hand is increasingly paralyzed from whatever is going on medically with me." "I might have to retire from drawing maybe this week ... If these 3 fingers keep working, I can actually draw better than I've ever drawn before. So there's no degradation whatsoever at the moment — but it's right on the edge where I'm going to lose this ability completely." "There's no plan for fixing this at the moment. So I might be a quadriplegic pretty soon." He announced he had terminal prostate cancer at the time it was first revealed Joe Biden also had prostate cancer.
