Democrat Mikie Sherrill defeated Republican Jack Ciattarelli Tuesday in the 2025 New Jersey gubernatorial election. With 78 percent of votes counted, Sherill led Ciattarelli 56.3 to 43.1 percent, according to the Associated Press. Sherrill, a U.S. Representative and former Navy helicopter pilot, ran on a platform centred on affordability, childcare, and state-government accountability.  She faced Ciattarelli, a former state assemblyman making his third gubernatorial bid, who campaigned on property-tax relief, lower business taxes, and a tougher stance on public safety issues. Outgoing Democratic Governor Phil Murphy was term-limited. Both candidates received roughly $20 million for their respective campaigns. Ciattarelli secured an endorsement from President Donald Trump. Sherrill, meanwhile, was endorsed by figures such as former President Barack Obama and Stephen Colbert to defend the party’s hold in the state. Polling in late October showed Sherrill holding a narrow lead. Much of the campaign played out in suburban and swing counties that have become more competitive in recent elections. The new governor takes office on January 20, 2026. The post Sherrill Defeats Ciattarelli in New Jersey’s Governor Race appeared first on The American Conservative.

by Martin Armstrong, Armstrong Economics: The Neocons who are in control of the Pentagon have given the White House the green light to provide Ukraine with long-range Tomahawk missiles after assessing that it would not negatively impact US stockpiles. The Neocons are doing everything they can from within the United States as well as within NATO to […]

by Alastair Crooke, Strategic Culture: U.S. foreign policy, drenched in the hubris that the U.S. won the Cold War militarily (in Afghanistan); won it economically (liberal markets); and culturally too, (Hollywood) — and therefore rightly deserves, as Trump puts it, the “fun” of “running both the country the world”. Well, that policy is now in contention […]

My friend MJTruth summed up tonight’s election results as “mostly a shit sandwich” and he’s not wrong: Message to frens… Tonight has so far been a shit sandwich. I’ve been fighting for the GOP, almost entirely because of Trump inspiring me to do so all these years. Feels like the GOP isn’t doing jack shit about it.. And as disgusted as I am right now, I (we) have to understand… — MJTruthUltra (@MJTruthUltra) November 5, 2025 I don’t believe for one second the results are genuine, but on its face they are bad. But….is there something bigger going on here? Is this a reflection of how Midterms will go? I don’t think so at all, and Bill O’Reilly just weighed in to express essentially exactly what I’m thinking right now. Watch here: TRANSCRIPT: This has nothing to do with the midterms. Hm. And the reason is so many things are going to happen between now and this time next year. And it’s, it’s gonna be a completely different country— Yeah. —than it is now. Now, I can’t predict which way that’s gonna go, but, uh— Then how do you know it’s gonna be a completely different country? Because there are so many things that have to be decided. There are too many undecideds. And you can start with the Supreme Court ruling on the tariffs. You can start on that, and they’ll rule in Donald Trump’s favor because of the 1974 law that Gerald Ford signed into— Um, and they have to. The Supreme Court can’t change the law. It has to uphold what’s already been in precedent. Now, they’ll rein Trump in a little bit, but that will give Trump then a free field to see if, in the next eight months, the tariffs can kick in to bring prices down and to help people. That’s what the midterms are all about. It’s about economics here. It’s not about China. It’s not even about Putin. It’s about that.

Hold on friends! We’re just about ready to come out of the “rocky” 6-12 month period I told you we would have to go through. Remember when I told you that? Well, it’s almost over. And then it’s going to be really beautiful after that! HOLD FIRM!
