Economy

Oil prices are crashing:

While stocks are hitting record highs, oil prices are down 12% in 4 weeks and nearing their lowest levels since May 2023.

Today, OPEC cut its oil demand growth forecasts for the FOURTH consecutive month.

What are oil markets telling us?

Weak oil demand in China, the world's largest oil consumer, has been the primary underlying issue.

Most recently, China’s crude oil imports in the first 9 months of the year fell by nearly 3% on the year to 10.99 million bpd.

This was the 5th consecutive monthly decrease. pic.twitter.com/2RlHcKfl6M

DC Swamp Draining May Spark Recessionary Pain For Region

• President-elect Donald Trump plans to make Elon Musk “secretary of cost-cutting” to lead the Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) in slashing $2 trillion from the federal budget—about a third of what the bloated federal government spent in the latest fiscal year. This once-in-a-generation initiative will cut thousands of federal workers and reduce or even eliminate the vast cancerous bureaucracy with a new small government led by capable leaders.

Trump is less than three months away from implementing his plan to ‘Make America Great Again’… and thousands of federal workers across DC, Northern Virginia, and Baltimore region have been put on notice for potential job loss.

A recent report by the Washington Post showed that approximately 15% of the 2.19 million civilian full-time federal employees in the US (data from 2023), or about 328,500, live in Northern Virginia, suburban Maryland, and even a touch of West Virginia.

The other 85% work elsewhere around the country.

Fed Chair prepared to bring suit to keep his job if Trump tries to oust him: report

• Federal Reserve Chairman Jerome Powell is reportedly ready to go to court to save his job if President-elect Donald Trump seeks to remove him. As The Wall Street Journal reported Sunday, Trump may have considered whether to fire Powell in 2018 over a disagreement over interest rates. Powell kept raising; Trump wanted them lowered. Fed leaders are reportedly prepared for an “unprecedented legal battle—the same one Fed leaders had prepared for years ago.”
• If Powell does have to sue for his job, he may have to pay the costs himself. Powell concurred with Trump’s assessment of runaway illegal immigration contributing to rising employment. Trump is reportedly not enthusiastic about Powell still being the Fed chair six years later and Powell knows that. When asked last week by a reporter if he would resign if Trump asked him to, Powell insisted the answer was no. He also said no president has the authority to fire him. He said it was “not permitted under the law.”

Woman claims she saw minors dressed as ‘Harajuku Barbies’ at Sean ‘Diddy’ Combs’ Freak-Off party

• A woman claims she once saw minors dressed up like “sexy” Harajuku Barbies at one of Sean “Diddy” Combs’ alleged sex-fueled “Freak-Off” parties.
• Tanea Wallace, an aspiring singer, told a new TMZ documentary that she allegedly saw the minors — whom she initially described as “little people” — surrounded by a wall of adults at the fallen music mogul’s Miami mansion back in 2018.
• “I looked to the right of me and in the corner and I was like, ‘Are those midgets?’ Because people were over them, like people trying to hide what they’re doing,” Wallace alleged in “TMZ Presents The Downfall of Diddy: Inside the Freak Offs.”
• “They’re all huddled up. But no, they were little people. Dressed up like Harajuku Barbies, red lipstick, looking like real sexy.”
• Wallace, who said she was invited to the party by a Saudi prince who flew her from Los Angeles, admitted she couldn’t see exactly what the minors and adults were doing, but she was alarmed because it was a “grown party.”
• Asked repeatedly to clarify what she meant by “little people,” Wallace stressed she didn’t want to get into trouble and said they “weren’t supposed to be there.”

Trump expected to move Space Command headquarters out of Colorado in his ‘first week’

• President-elect Donald Trump is expected controversially to move Space Command headquarters out of Colorado to Alabama.
• Space Command, separate from the Trump-created Space Force, has been the center of a yearslong dispute about whether to put its headquarters in Colorado or Alabama. Trump has favored the deep-red Alabama, while Biden favored the deep-blue Colorado.

Source: washingtonexaminer.com

Donald Trump’s decision to move the U.S. Space Command to Huntsville, Alabama, was influenced by several factors:

1. Political Favoritism: Trump himself claimed he “single-handedly said, let’s go to Alabama,” suggesting a personal decision influenced by his affection for the state or its political support for him. Alabama’s strong support for Trump in elections might have played a role in this decision.
2. Location Suitability: Huntsville was considered after a selection process where it reportedly scored higher than Colorado in several categories important for military basing decisions, such as education, cost of living, and infrastructure. The presence of the Redstone Arsenal, known for its involvement in space and missile defense, could also be a strategic factor.
3. Economic Impact: Moving Space Command to Alabama would have significant economic benefits for the region, with the potential for job creation and economic development, which could be seen as a form of reward or incentive for states that supported him politically.
4. Strategic Realignment: Trump’s administration might have viewed the relocation as aligning with a broader strategic vision for Space Command, despite the military’s preference for keeping it in Colorado for readiness reasons. This move could be part of a larger military strategy or reorganization effort under Trump’s leadership.

Q

“I Was Paid Nothing”: Oprah Denies Million Dollar Payment By Harris Campaign

• A TMZ reporter confronted Oprah Winfrey about claims she was paid a million dollars to host a town hall for Kamala Harris’ failed presidential campaign. Oprah rejected those claims. While she may be correct that she did not receive a personal fee, her production company did receive campaign funds from the Harris team.

The TMZ reporter asked Oprah: “How did you think the election went?”

Oprah responded: “Not talking about the election. Thank you very much.”

TMZ reporter then asked: “Is it true they [Harris campaign] paid you a million dollars for the endorsement of Kamala?”

Oprah responded: “Not true. I was paid nothing – ever.”

“FEC Filings Show Kamala Harris Team Blew Funds On Hollywood Stars, Private Jets,” we cited Federal Election Commission filings that show Harpo Productions, which, after searching through public records, Oprah is a director, member of the board and officer of the production company, received a million dollars from the campaign.

Per the FEC filing…

Meanwhile, a Harpo spokesperson told Variety that the Harris-Walz team never “paid a personal fee” to Oprah.

“The campaign paid for the production costs of ‘Unite for America,’ a live-streaming event that took place Sept. 19 outside Detroit, Mich.,” the spokesperson said, adding, “Oprah Winfrey was at no point during the campaign paid a personal fee, nor did she receive a fee from Harpo.”

Attorney General Ken Paxton Sues Biden-Harris DOJ to Block Destruction of Jack Smith’s Records Exposing Lawfare Against President Trump

• Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton has filed a lawsuit against U.S. Attorney General Merrick Garland and the Department of Justice (DOJ). Paxton’s legal action seeks to secure a preservation order that would block any potential destruction of records from Jack Smith’s investigation into former President Donald Trump.
• The lawsuit highlights a pattern of record destruction by past special counsels and raises concerns about accountability in a “weaponized” justice system under the Biden-Harris regime.
• Paxton initiated the lawsuit following a Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) request he filed, seeking access to documents and communications related to Special Counsel Jack Smith’s investigation.
• “Past Special Counsels, including—notoriously—Robert Mueller, destroyed records at the end of their investigations to avoid accountability. It is not clear why nobody was prosecuted for doing so. This request is part of my Office’s efforts to ensure that Americans are not cheated out of accountability or information again. This pattern of weaponizing the justice system for partisan retribution must end,” Ken Paxton said.

• 2. Trump is allowing the leaks to see who is leaking information
• 3. [DS] leaking information trying to cause chaos
• What’s interesting is that all the rumors are individuals who hold a public office, either a Governor or a Senator
• The Confirmed picks are individuals that do not currently hold a public office

• The Republicans will keep control of the House of Representatives and control the Senate in a huge governmentwide sweep this election.

• Republicans will control all three branches of government after Trump won the 2024 election in a landslide with huge down ballot victories.
• Congressional races are still outstanding but Decision Desk HQ has projected the GOP to win the House with at least 218 seats as of Monday evening.

The new Congress begins on January 3rd, but President Trump doesn’t take office until January 20th.

With MAJORITIES in the House and the Senate, we should have at least a dozen bills to shrink government overreach on his desk awaiting his signature by the first day of his term!

— Thomas Massie (@RepThomasMassie) November 11, 2024

The U.S. Constitution establishes that the terms of Senators and Representatives end at noon on the 3rd of January, and the new Congress begins its session on that same day, every two years, as per the Twentieth Amendment. Here are the reasons and implications for why Congress starts before the President:

1. Constitutional Mandate: The Twentieth Amendment, also known as the “Lame Duck Amendment,” was ratified in 1933. It stipulates that:
   • The terms of the President and Vice President end at noon on January 20th.
   • The terms of Senators and Representatives end at noon on January 3rd, and the new Congress convenes at that time.
2. Legislative Continuity: Having Congress start before the President allows for legislative continuity. The outgoing President can still work with the new Congress for a few weeks to:
   • Deal with pressing legislative issues or emergencies.
   • Facilitate a smoother transition by passing necessary legislation or funding bills before the new administration takes over.
3. Confirmation Process: The Senate needs time to confirm or reject presidential nominees for cabinet positions and other key roles. Starting before the President allows the Senate to prepare for the confirmation hearings and start the process as soon as the President-elect’s nominations are known.
5. Avoiding a Gap: This setup avoids a gap where there might be no fully operational government with confirmed officials. Even though the President-elect has a transition period, having a functioning Congress ensures that government operations can continue without significant interruption.

Trump Plans Series of Executive Orders for Day 1, Susie Wiles Tells Donors
