“I challenge them as well to start making decisions based on that Seven Generation principle.  Look it, we have a lot more power than our leaders are letting us know.  [Reporter interrupts.]  I know, I know, but they don’t want us to know how powerful we are, and we can talk about 3.5% active participation from citizens to actually topple a dictator, to be successful in a civil war, and we already have that happening,” Democratic candidate for California Governor Reinette Senum said during an anti-vaccination protest in San Francisco.   “We’re beyond that number, to be honest.  People just don’t know it.

“And what’s really drawn the line for most people are the children.  We can’t do this to the children.  How dare, how dare, how dare this country, how dare this state, take our children and make them biological experiments.  Not on my watch!”

Reuters:  “U.S. President Joe Biden and Chinese leader Xi Jinping are expected to hold a virtual summit on Monday, sources said, amid tensions over trade, human rights and military activities.  Washington and Beijing have been sparring on issues from the origins of the COVID-19 pandemic to China’s expanding nuclear arsenal. U.S. officials believe direct engagement with Xi is the best way to prevent the relationship between the world’s two biggest economies from spiraling toward conflict. read more

“Beijing is also keen to avoid confrontation and focus on ‘positive competition,’ while pushing for cooperation on issues such the climate crisis and ending the coronavirus pandemic, said one Chinese official.

“A framework deal on boosting cooperation to tackle climate change, unveiled by the world’s two largest economies at the U.N. climate conference in Scotland, sent ‘quite a positive signal’ for the upcoming summit, the official said.”

“Jack Ciattarelli, a Republican vying to unseat Gov. Philip D. Murphy of New Jersey, will concede defeat on Friday, acknowledging that there is no chance he can overcome the 74,000-vote gap now separating the candidates, according to two people close to his campaign. The Associated Press and other national news outlets had declared Mr. Murphy, a first-term Democrat, the winner a day after the Nov. 2 election when he held a roughly one percentage point advantage over Mr. Ciattarelli. Over the last nine days, Mr. Murphy’s lead only grew as mail and provisional ballots were slowly tallied in liberal-leaning strongholds, prompting Democratic strategists to accuse Mr. Ciattarelli of stoking distrust in the election system as he used the inconclusive race results to raise campaign funds. Mr. Ciattarelli is expected to appear at 1 p.m. on Friday in Raritan, N.J., where he lives, to formally concede defeat” the New York Times reports.

What RINO wimp. Ciattarelli ain’t MAGA, he’s a coward. He’s not a fighter, he didn’t fight. There was tremendous fraud in New Jersey, million and millions of ballots came from Venezuela. This election was a total explosion of bullshit and Jack Ciattarelli just surrendered to the Deep State and Soros. It was a sacred victory stolen from him and he has no guts. Just disgraceful.

Associated Press:  “The attorney for a Black teenager says several other teens attacked his client with a stun gun on Halloween while wearing costumes resembling Ku Klux Klan robes.  At a news conference Wednesday, Matt Manning of Corpus Christi said the attack involved high school students in Woodsboro, a small town 30 miles north of Corpus Christi. He said his client was not seriously injured, and he declined to identify all involved because they were juveniles.

“There were many as six victims, all juveniles, Manning said. The five other victims were not shocked but may have been chased or otherwise terrorized, he said.  ‘For you to dress up as a Klansman, you have a specific intent of terrorizing,’ Manning said. ‘That’s not an accident. That’s not kids being kids. That’s not boys being boys. That’s not hazing or high school hijinks. High school hijinks are egging somebody’s house, not dressing up as a Klansmen and Tasing them.’

“Refugio County sheriff’s deputies were called to Woodsboro by the report of a teen shocked with a ‘Taser or cattle-prod-like’ device, Sheriff Raul ‘Pinky’ Gonzales told The Victoria Advocate. There were no immediate arrests or criminal charges, Assistant District Attorney Tim Poynter said. Woodsboro police, Refugio County deputies and the Texas Rangers continue to investigate.”

“Simply put, there is no valid legal basis for Mr. Meadows’s continued resistance to the Select Committee’s subpoena. As such, the Select Committee expects Mr. Meadows to produce all responsive documents and appear for deposition testimony tomorrow, November 12, 2021, at 10:00 am. If there are specific questions during that deposition that you believe raise legitimate privilege issues, Mr. Meadows should state them at that time on the record for the Select Committee’s consideration and possible judicial review. The Select Committee will view Mr. Meadows’s failure to appear at the deposition, and to produce responsive documents or a privilege log indicating the specific basis for withholding any documents you believe are protected by privilege, as willful non-compliance. Such willful noncompliance with the subpoena would force the Select Committee to consider invoking the contempt of Congress procedures in 2 U.S.C. §§ 192, 194 – which could result in a referral from the House of Representatives to the Department of Justice for criminal charges – as well as the possibility of having a civil action to enforce the subpoena brought against Mr. Meadows in his personal capacity” says Capitol riot committee chairman Rep Bennie Thompson in a letter to Former Trump White House Chief of Staff Mark Meadows’ lawyer George Terwilliger.

The Daily Beast:  “Evan Neumann of Mill Valley, CA is the newly minted star of state television in Minsk, Belarus.  Neumann, who is wanted in the U.S. on six criminal charges related to the attempted insurrection on Jan. 6—including two felonies for assaulting an officer—was featured in the Belarusian state TV special, “Goodbye, America,” which aired in full on Thursday. He recounted a treacherous journey through forested borderlands that landed him in Minsk and expressed his unwillingness to face justice in the United States. Neumann said he is seeking political asylum in Belarus because the U.S. is, in his opinion, no longer a country of law and order.

“In Thursday’s premiere of his interview, Neumann said that unless he is able to return to the United States, he would like to stay in Belarus and perhaps get an IT job. He said that Belarus did him ‘a big favor’ and in return promised to be ‘a productive and a good citizen.’ Neumann mentioned living in Moscow in 1994 and complained that both Russia and Belarus are being ‘demonized’ by the Western media. He described U.S. sanctions against both countries as ‘a form of terrorism.’

ABC News:  “An appeals court has put a temporary pause on the handover of records from the Trump White House to the House committee investigating the Jan. 6 insurrection.  A three-judge panel in the D.C. Circuit Court of Appeals on Thursday granted a request from former President Donald Trump’s legal team for a temporary injunction to block the exchange of records from the National Archives to the committee, which was set to take place Friday, and scheduled a Nov. 30 hearing to hear arguments from all parties in the case.

“Trump sued the committee and the National Archives last month, asserting executive privilege over a broad swath of documents the national archivist had identified as relevant to the Jan. 6 committee’s investigation into Trump’s efforts to overturn the 2020 election and the subsequent attack on the U.S. Capitol.  A district court judge this week twice denied Trump’s request to block or delay the release of the documents, ruling that President Joe Biden’s decision to not assert privilege over the materials outweighed Trump’s efforts to do so as a private citizen.

“‘[Trump’s] position that he may override the express will of the executive branch appears to be premised on the notion that his executive power “exists in perpetuity,”‘ district judge Tanya Chutkan said in her ruling. ‘But Presidents are not kings, and Plaintiff is not President.’

The “Donald J Trump” Adopt-A-Highway sign on the Henry Hudson Parkway in on the Upper West Side of Manhattan was removed by the New York City Department of Transportation earlier this week, Gothamist reports. Locals had been trying to have it taken down for years, but it was the expiry of the sponsorship contract and the city declining to renew it that finally did the sign in, according to a letter from NYC DOT Manhattan Commissioner Ed Pincar to New York State Assemblywoman Linda Rosenthal. The sign had been vandalized repeatedly over the years.

“The defense rested its case Thursday at the murder trial of Kyle Rittenhouse, setting the stage for closing arguments in the shootings that left Americans divided over whether he was a patriot taking a stand against lawlessness or a vigilante. The defense and prosecution asked the judge to hold closing arguments on Monday, and he said he would take it under consideration.”

“Rittenhouse’s lawyers completed their side of the case on Day 9 of the trial, a day after the 18-year-old Rittenhouse told the jury he was defending himself from attack and had no choice when he used his rifle to kill two men and wound a third on the streets of Kenosha in the summer of 2020. Prosecutors have sought to portray Rittenhouse as the instigator of the bloodshed, which took place during a tumultuous night of protests against racial injustice” – AP.

CBS News:  “A 22-year-old college student has died nearly one week after she was injured at the Astroworld Festival in Houston, marking the ninth person killed in the tragedy, her family’s attorney announced Thursday. Bharti Shahani was a student at Texas A&M University.

“Nine people, including two teenagers, were killed and scores more were injured during a crowd surge at the festival last Friday. The exact cause of death for the other eight victims has not yet been determined, Houston police chief Troy Finner said on Wednesday.

“The Houston Police Department and the FBI are investigating the incident, which Finner estimated on Wednesday could take weeks or months to complete. Investigators are working to review video footage and interview victims as well as witnesses. Finner said he does not believe an independent investigation is necessary at this point.”

“The idea that we’re going to serially be bringing these people in to sit with the victim’s family… obviously there’s only so many pastors they can have… we don’t want any more black pastors coming in here…” says William “Roddie” Bryan’s defense attorney Kevin Gough on Al Sharpton coming to the courtroom to sit with Ahmad Arbery’s family while his killers are on trial.

To be clear, this is notorious fascist Florida state Rep. Anthony Sabatini, also currently a Republican candidate for the US House, complaining he’s been throttled by Facebook as punishment for calling white nationalist murderer Kyle Rittenhouse an American hero.

AP: “Prosecutors in Kyle Rittenhouse’s murder trial could ask the jury to consider lesser charges when it gets the case, a move that could secure a conviction for some crime but take a possible life sentence off the table. Kenosha County Assistant District Attorney Thomas Binger has struggled to counter Rittenhouse’s self-defense arguments during the Illinois man’s trial, raising questions about whether his office overcharged Rittenhouse. Daniel Adams, a former Milwaukee County assistant DA who isn’t involved in the trial, described Binger’s case as ‘incredibly underwhelming.’ ‘He’s got nothing. I just don’t understand it. What are we doing here? We’re all kind of scratching our heads.'”

“Second-degree homicide charges could apply if jurors determined that Rittenhouse sincerely believed his life was in danger but used an unreasonable amount of force, University of Wisconsin-Madison criminal law professor Cecelia Klingele said. Second-degree reckless endangerment could apply if jurors found that he put someone in harm’s way but did so without showing utter disregard for human life, she said. Second-degree intentional homicide carries a maximum 60 years in prison. The maximum sentence for second-degree attempted intentional homicide is 30 years. Second-degree reckless endangerment, meanwhile, carries a maximum prison term of 10 years. A life sentence wouldn’t be an option if prosecutors sought convictions on lesser charges, but they would give jurors the flexibility to convict him of something, said Adams. ‘It gives the jury negotiation room,’ he said. ‘They think something bad happened but they’re not convinced the level of force was necessary. And that gives prosecutors two kicks at the cat.'”

“But as your congresswoman, it is my proper role to keep you free,” Congresswoman Lauren Boebert (Q-Colo.) tells a roomful of veterans in a breathless voice that combines the theatrics of a high school production of “Death of a Salesman” with the earnestness of a teenager saying she’ll take the garbage out later, Mom.  “And that is what I’m fighting for each and every day, just as each of you have fought to keep us free in the greatest nation this world has ever known.”

Brain-damaged Barbie then went on to say that our Founding Fathers fought for independence for 11 years–the American War of Independence lasted from April 1775 to September 1783, just eight and a half years–and that women don’t want to go to counseling because “some of their counselors may have been born ‘Alex’ but are now ‘Alexa’.”

“Pentiuk, Couvreur & Kobiljak, P.C. and Kerry L Morgan are counsel for Defendant, OATH KEEPERS, only, in this matter… That Defendant, Oath Keepers, has not communicated or responded to counsel after counsel reached out several times and there has been a breakdown of communication… That Defendant, Oath Keepers, has not paid its legal fees and costs due and Owing to Pentiuk, Couvreur & Kobiljak, P.C. and have not provided information to the undersigned, if and when, the legal fees and costs will be paid… Counsel also requested Oath Keepers obtain substitute counsel in avoidance Of this Motion, but have received no such substitution… On November 1, 2021 Defendant, Oath Keepers, was advised that the motion herein would be filed with this Court on November 10, 2021 and withdrawing from this matter if no substitution Of counsel was received… On November 10, 2021, Pentiuk, Couvreur & Kobiljak did not hear from Defendant, Oath Keepers, nor receive a substitution of counsel, necessitating the filing of this motion.”

“WHEREFORE, Pentiuk, Couvreur & Kobiljak, P.C. and Kerry L. Morgan respectfully request this Honorable Court grant the following relief: 1. Grant the motion to withdraw as counsel for Defendant, Oath Keepers, Only; and 2. Order Defendant Oath Keepers to retain new counsel and an Appearance of new counsel be filed within thirty (30) days of the filing of an Order” says Pentiuk, Couvreur & Kobiljak’s motion to withdraw from defending the Oath Keepers as an entity in Congressman Bennie Thompson’s lawsuit against them.

“The Secretary of Homeland Security has issued an updated National Terrorism Advisory System (NTAS) Bulletin regarding the current heightened threat environment across the United States. The Homeland continues to face a diverse and challenging threat environment as it approaches several religious holidays and associated mass gatherings that in the past have served as potential targets for acts of violence. These threats include those posed by individuals and small groups engaged in violence, including domestic violent extremists (DVEs) and those inspired or motivated by foreign terrorists and other malign foreign influences. These actors continue to exploit online forums to influence and spread violent extremist narratives and promote violent activity.”

“The ongoing global pandemic continues to exacerbate these threats, in part due to perceived government overreach in implementation of public health safety measures. Further, foreign terrorist organizations and DVEs continue to attempt to inspire potential followers to conduct attacks in the United States. As of November 10, 2021, DHS is not aware of an imminent and credible threat to a specific location in the United States” – Department of Homeland Security.

Washington Post: “The House Select committee investigating the Jan. 6 attack on the Capitol and the White House are ramping up the pressure on former Trump White House Chief of Staff Mark Meadows to cooperate with the probe into the insurrection as the committee zeros in on former president Donald Trump’s inner circle. White House Deputy Counsel Jonathan Su sent a letter to Meadows’s lawyer, George Terwilliger, Thursday morning notifying him that President Biden will not assert executive privilege or immunity over the documents and deposition requested by the House Select committee related to his client. Meadows was subpoenaed at the end of September.”

“While he has been ‘engaged’ with investigators to negotiate the terms of his deposition and turning over of documents, the pace of these discussions has caused the committee to weigh more aggressive measures against him. Su acknowledges the importance of ‘candid advice’ from the president’s senior staff but cites ‘the unique and extraordinary circumstances, where Congress is investigating an effort to obstruct the lawful transfer of power under our Constitution’ as reason not ‘to shield information reflecting an effort to subvert the Constitution itself.'”
