CA-45 will come down to the wire, perhaps decided by 10 votes or less.

If these percentages hold, and anything remotely close to what’s happening in Pennsylvania are happen in California, guess what.

by Peter Schiff, Schiff Gold:
Gold began dipping before the election on November 5th, and with Trump’s win, it has crashed even further. We know that Trump wants a strong US dollar, so does his victory spell trouble for the yellow metal?
As Trump promises to pump up markets, long-term interest rates are continuing to show upward pressure. Once they reach a certain point, markets would be crushed. Democrats would probably like for this to happen, since they can blame Trump and retake the White House next election season. But despite being politically-biased, likely against Trump, the Fed will need to monetize deficits brought on by Trumpenomics to help avoid the banks from imploding.

Alex Jones sued The Onion and Sandy Hook families over the ‘rigged’ auction of Infowars.
As previously reported, The Onion purchased Infowars in a bankruptcy auction on Thursday with plans to turn it into a satire website — but the judge overseeing the case has ordered a hearing into how the satire website won.
The legal team representing Jones has alleged that the auction was rigged at the last minute to allow The Onion to win — despite a seven-figure bid from Infowars allies.

Attorneys for Elon Musk’s X Corp. have filed a notice of appearance in Alex Jones’ Infowars bankruptcy case. Jones claimed that “The cavalry is here,” adding that “Trump is pissed.”
The judge overseeing the bankruptcy case said he is concerned with the process in which the satirical comedy site the Onion, backed by families of Sandy Hook Elementary School shooting victims, won Jones’ platform at a bankruptcy auction. The judge cited transparency issues with the auction and is calling for a new hearing on the bidding procedure, according to a report by Bloomberg.

Sergey Lavrov, Russia’s Foreign Minister says that the West is seeking an “escalation” of the conflict, since “allowing” Ukraine to use long-range missiles to strike deep inside Russian territory. For the first time, Kiev has used ATACMS (Army Tactical Missile Systems) to strike Russian soil.
Kiev couldn’t have struck Russia using ATACMS missiles without Washington’s participation, said Lavrov. Mere hours ago, U.S.-made ATACMS missiles were used in an attack on Russia’s Bryansk Region, according to a report by RT. This was supposed to be Russia’s final “red line” that hadn’t been crossed.

Since 2016, when Donald Trump first came down that escalator and announced his candidacy, liking him was the kiss of death for your career, your friendships, your business, and sometimes even your own family. There was a lot of talk during this campaign about the “secret” Trump voter, and apparently, the quiet ones came through because many people are now looking forward to seeing President Trump in the White House again.

The fear in many nations’ capitals is that President Donald Trump’s return to Washington might make Israel feel more confident in attacking Iran. According to Mike Evans, founder of the Friends of Zion Museum in Jerusalem, “There is no world leader Trump respects more than Netanyahu.”
The evangelical leader also confides that President Trump would support an Israeli attack before his inauguration on the assumption that the destruction of Iran’s oil production facilities would devastate Iran’s economy, inducing Iran to end the war with Israel before President Trump assumes his office. This thinking by no means excludes an Israeli decision to strike Iran’s nuclear development sites as well.

“That was when they suspended the Constitution. They said it would be temporary.”—Margaret Atwood, The Handmaid’s Tale
This is how it begins.
This is how it always begins, justified in the name of national security.
Mass roundups. Raids. Indefinite detentions in concentration camps. Martial law. The erosion of habeas corpus protections. The suspension of the Constitution, at least for select segments of the population. A hierarchy of rights, contingent on whether you belong to a favored political class.
by Michael Snyder, End Of The American Dream:
The “bomb cyclone” that is about to hit California is going to be even worse than the experts originally thought. It is being projected that this rapidly intensifying “bomb cyclone” will stall near the west coast, and that means that some areas of California, Oregon and Washington could get pounded by very high winds and relentless rain for days. In fact, the Washington Post is reporting that some areas of California could actually get 20 inches of rain. That much rainfall in such a short period of time would likely cause extremely destructive flooding. In the mountains, there will be blizzard conditions in some areas and the amount of snowfall will be measured in feet.
