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.

UPS Flight 2976 crashed with three crewmembers on board at about 5:14 p.m. ET onto the roof of the Kentucky Petroleum Recycling building after departing from SDF, Gov. Andy Beshear said during a news conference Tuesday evening. At least two employees at nearby business Grade A Auto Parts are unaccounted for, said Beshear, who called the incident “catastrophic.” The cause of the crash has not yet been released. The McDonnell Douglas MD-11 was headed to Daniel K. Inouye International Airport in Honolulu, Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) officials said. The aircraft was loaded with more than 200,000 pounds of fuel at the time of the incident, leading to a massive fireball explosion, according to Louisville Mayor Craig Greenberg. The Louisville Metro Police Department and Greenberg confirmed every emergency agency was responding to the crash, which happened near the UPS Worldport. Police said multiple people were injured, though UPS wrote in a statement it has not confirmed any injuries or fatalities. “This is an active scene with fire and debris,” police wrote in an X post. “Stay away.” There was no hazardous cargo on board at the time of the crash that would cause an environmental issue, Beshear said. The agency later issued an emergency shelter-in-place alert for the Outer Loop northbound to the Ohio River. Those in the shelter-in-place area were asked to turn off any air intake systems “as soon as possible.” A victim reunification site was opened and chaplains will be present, according to LMPD. SDF noted all arriving and departing flights are temporarily suspended, and the airfield is closed. The FAA and National Transportation Safety Board (NTSB) will investigate, with the NTSB taking the lead. Heartbreaking images coming out of Kentucky tonight.

Jay Jones, the embattled Democratic nominee for Virginia attorney general, is projected to defeat incumbent Republican Jason Miyares. Decision Desk HQ made the call at 8:26 p.m. ET. Decision Desk HQ projects Jay Jones to win the Virginia Attorney General election.#DecisionMade: 8:26 pm ET Follow live results on our website. pic.twitter.com/7FHdoAkgCY — Decision Desk HQ (@DecisionDeskHQ) November 5, 2025 At the time of writing, NBC News had Jones leading Miyares 51.4 percent to 48.2 percent with 77 percent of the expected votes in. Jones is expected to prevail despite a myriad of scandals in recent months. The Hill shared: While the race was always considered one of the more competitive statewide contests in Virginia this cycle, it was roiled in its final stretch by resurfaced violent texts sent by Jones in 2022 about then-state House Speaker Todd Gilbert (R). “Three people, two bullets,” Jones wrote in a text to Del. Carrie Coyner (R) about Gilbert. “Gilbert, hitler, and pol pot,” Jones wrote. “Gilbert gets two bullets to the head.” “Spoiler: put Gilbert in the crew with the two worst people you know and he receives both bullets every time,” Jones told Coyner. Coyner, in response, told Jones, who at the time did not hold an elected office, to stop. Jones apologized for the texts, but Republicans from Miyares to President Trump used the scandal to attack the Democrat throughout the final month of the campaign. Jones also faced heavy criticism for a prior conviction of reckless driving after being caught going 116 mph on Interstate 64 in New Kent, Virginia. Democratic Statewide Candidate Reportedly Dodged Potential Jail Time For Conviction By Logging Community Service At Own PAC “Jay Jones was convicted of reckless driving after speeding at 116 mph. The job of attorney general is too important to leave to someone who would recklessly break the law and endanger the lives of others, and then mislead the Courts and the public by claiming he performed community service while working on his own political operation,” Virginia Gov. Glenn Youngkin said. “We need to get to the bottom of what Jay Jones was actually up to, but it’s clear he cannot be Virginia’s top cop,” he added.

That Democratic advantage there among disaffected voters mirrors trends seen in other contests Tuesday, including the New Jersey governor’s race and the New York City mayoral election, NBC reported. In Virginia, 41% of voters said that they had a favorable view only of the Democratic Party, and another 41% favorably viewed only the Republican Party, according to NBC’s poll. But 10% said they viewed neither party favorably. And among that group, 72% backed Democrat nominee Abigail Spanberger over Republican nominee Winsome Earle-Sears, who drew just 23%, NBC found. The findings come despite recent data showing a decline in Democratic voter registrations and a slide in the party’s favorability ratings nationwide.

New York State Assemblyman Zohran Mamdani, a self-described democratic socialist, is projected to win New York City’s mayoral election. Decision Desk HQ made the call at 9:03 p.m. ET. Decision Desk HQ projects Zohran Mamdani to win the New York City Mayor election.#DecisionMade: 9:03 pm ET Follow live results on our website. pic.twitter.com/JLV4vXwznG — Decision Desk HQ (@DecisionDeskHQ) November 5, 2025 The Hill provided details: Mamdani, a 34-year-old democratic socialist, is poised to become the first millennial and first Muslim to lead New York City, after a campaign that pulled off one of the most stunning political upsets in recent memory. He defeated former New York Gov. Andrew Cuomo, who mounted a long-shot independent bid after losing to Mamdani in the Democratic primary, and Republican Curtis Sliwa in his bid to succeed Mayor Eric Adams. Mamdani focused heavily on affordability, pledging to freeze rent, establish city-owned grocery stores and make buses free for riders. He quickly became a progressive icon as well as a polarizing figure within the party over his positions, so much so that it divided prominent New York Democratic leadership over whether to endorse him. One of the biggest flash points in the race, however, centered on his views on the Israel-Hamas conflict. Mamdani was heavily criticized for not initially condemning the phrase “globalize the intifada.” Though the New York State Assembly member has not used the term, pro-Israel activists say it risks inciting violence against Zionists and Jews, while pro-Palestinian activists equate it largely with Palestinian liberation. At the time of writing, Decision Desk HQ showed Mamdani leading the race with 50.7 percent of the vote, with 76 percent of expected votes in. Cuomo has 41.3 percent, while Republican candidate Sliwa has 7.4 percent. BREAKING: Zohran Mamdani wins the New York City mayoral race, NBC News projects. https://t.co/GmUlvADGhV pic.twitter.com/iEaO0Waozn — NBC News (@NBCNews) November 5, 2025 CNBC has more: Cuomo, who previously was U.S. Secretary of Housing and Urban Development, as well as New York state attorney general, resigned as governor in August 2021 after being accused by multiple women of sexual harassment. Cuomo, whose father, Mario Cuomo, served three terms as the state’s governor, has denied wrongdoing. His campaign platform calls for increasing the size of the city’s police department, deploying more officers in the city’s subways, building more affordable housing and reducing school class size. The former radio host Sliwa, 71, in his second campaign for mayor, has leaned heavily on issues surrounding public safety and called for hiring 7,000 additional police officers. Adams also had been running as an independent after skipping his Democratic Party’s primary. Adams’ public approval ratings had plummeted after his indictment in 2024 on federal corruption charges, which were later dismissed by a judge at the behest of the Department of Justice following the return of Trump to the White House. Adams last month endorsed Cuomo, whom he had recently called a “snake and a liar.” Since Adams’ withdrawal, Sliwa has faced intensifying pressure to quit the race to boost Cuomo’s chances against Mamdani.
