Moscow’s top diplomat has called for a “genuinely fair system” of mutual security guarantees

Russia will not be drawn into an arms race with Europe and is instead pushing for a new security agreement, Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov has said.

Speaking at the Fourth Minsk International Conference on Eurasian Security on Tuesday, Lavrov warned against further confrontation and urged European nations to reconsider their approach to relations with Moscow.

He called on countries to “honestly and realistically assess the situation and work together to overcome the accumulated mistakes and misunderstandings, paving the way for a genuinely fair system of mutual security guarantees.”

Washington is now set to expand its military footprint on the Danish-owned Arctic island

Greenland’s parliament ratified on Tuesday a security agreement reached earlier this year with US President Donald Trump, Reuters has reported. The deal, which is backed by Denmark, provides for an expansion of the US military presence on the Arctic island.

Backed by a majority of lawmakers in Greenland, the deal stipulates broadening the US military’s role on the island, paving the way for two new military bases, as well as Trump’s ‘Golden Dome’ missile defense system, while reaffirming Danish sovereignty and Greenlanders’ right to self-determination.

Ron DeSantis just said what a lot of voters already knew.

A lot of our voters stayed home. Not because the agenda failed. Because Washington refused to pass it.

Journalist Aaron Maté told Judge Andrew Napolitano on Tuesday that the CIA is still “running, if the New York Times is to be believed, 12 secret bases inside of Ukraine,” and still controlling Ukrainian intelligence agencies it “effectively rebuilt from scratch after Yanukovych was overthrown in 2014.” He made the claim in an interview for Napolitano’s Judging Freedom podcast, recorded on Election Day, Nov. 3, in an episode titled “CIA and MI6 vs Trump in Ukraine.”

“How pervasive is the CIA in Ukraine today?” Napolitano asked. To which Maté replied:

“Well, it’s so pervasive that it was the one that orchestrated this drone campaign against Russian energy facilities that Trump recently started opposing. It was Trump’s CIA that came up with that and was helping Ukraine do that. And Trump was on board with it until he needed something to sell voters on ahead of the midterms, whereas war on Iran was causing such a spike in energy prices.”

Maté said Trump has since pulled back and criticized Volodymyr Zelensky, “the CIA, as far as I know, is continuing its operations as normal,” and that it is “still helping out with targeting” and “still providing intelligence.”

Unfortunately, the events in Poland since Friday show that Donald Tusk’s government has stopped respecting the law altogether.

Executive summary

• On November 3, 2026, eight people, five of whom never took the oath of office before the President of the Republic, met at a “General Assembly of Judges of the Constitutional Tribunal” convened by Anna Korwin-Piotrowska. As we pointed out on Monday, a meeting convened by an unauthorized person and in breach of procedure could not produce any legal effects.

• Just as we predicted, the “General Assembly” failed to reach a quorum. Those present “calculated” it on the basis of twelve judges, leaving out the President, the Vice-President and one other judge, although the statute requires two-thirds of the total number of judges of the Tribunal – a number the Constitution sets at fifteen.

• Any disciplinary action against the President of the Constitutional Tribunal and his deputy is null and void. Not only were the disciplinary benches drawn unlawfully, but in both of them a majority are unauthorized persons. Moreover, the charges themselves are unfounded, as in essence they concern lawful conduct.

The asset base of the entire financial system is being repriced as the allegedly safest assets, sovereign bonds, become part of the riskiest ones…

We are living through an abrupt tightening of financial conditions driven by the slump in confidence of the alleged lowest-risk asset, sovereign debt. And it is directly affecting the stocks that benefit the most from excessive liquidity, namely tech names. These companies have the highest net present value effect from monetary inflation, thanks to their high short-term growth and high margins. They also suffer the sudden tightening faster and more aggressively.

Central bank third-quarter purchases exceeded the five-year quarterly average…

Total third-quarter central bank demand rose by 42 percent year over year to 321 tons, “eclipsing recent typical quarterly buying levels,” according to the World Gold Council, an industry body funded by major gold miners, which publishes widely cited quarterly data on global gold demand.

This was the highest quarterly total since the end of 2024 and firmly above the five-year quarterly average of 227 tons.

The People’s Bank of China led gold purchases, followed by the National Bank of Poland.

Ontario Premier Doug Ford said he was “doing cartwheels” after the Democrats took control of the House of Representatives and the Senate in the U.S. midterm elections.

Ford cautioned the trade war is not over, but said he is buoyed by the rebuke of U.S. President Donald Trump by the American electorate.

“I was doing cartwheels down the street,” Ford said at Queen’s Park on Wednesday.

THIS ONE IS NOT SO CHEERFUL …SERIOUS SHIT

https://donsurber.substack.com/p/communists-win?

Ta-da! Behold, the magnificent majesty of math. I don’t want to be that guy, but a “collapse in turnout” is the opposite of what the GOP needed to do to prevent this from happening. Avoid the temptation to carelessly assign blame. Republicans did whatever they could think of to get out the vote. They redistricted. They held a midterm convention. They outspent Democrats. The President held daily rallies for the last month. The DOJ pursued illegal votes in every imaginable way— far beyond anything any previous Administration has ever done. No electoral stone was left unturned.

It wasn’t enough to prevent a “collapse” in Republican turnout. We didn’t even match 2022 numbers. So we definitely failed to make it too big to rig.

We expected Democrats to turn out big, since that’s the midterm baseline. Plus, they’ve been exceptionally furious about losing their DEI benefits and pride flags outside federal buildings and SNAP giveaways and learing centers and everything else. We needed to beat that surge of Democrat ire, but too many Republicans stayed home. Consequences naturally follow.

If anyone deserves blame for this, it’s the blackpill brigades, who suppressed turnout and right now are drunk and doing undeserved victory donuts on the front lawn. Congressional Republicans also deserve a share of the blame.

But maybe there’s a pony somewhere in this pile of manure.

I WILL ADD….TO THOSE REDS WHO STAYED HOME….FUCK YOU AND YOUR $10 A WEEK MORE IN GAS…MAY YOU SUFFER ACCORDINGLY NOW

What if we had won?

We would drift into 2028 with a weak Thune-led Senate, achieving little. RINO’s would still block the Trump agenda. We’d likely lose the White House and Congress then which would be worse!

If we were going to take this bitter pill to fix our party, NOW was the time.

We can retool and rebrand and come back with a stronger offering in 2028 while Democrats have two years to remind America how awful they are.

Ironically, strategically this may have been for the best.

Face it, our GOP Congress sucked and this may be the only way we could have fixed it.

They importantly provoked Sikorski into the faux pas of comparing Tusk’s judicial coup to Poland’s martial law period, which can turn even more Poles against him than there already are.

Another Polish Ambassador just resigned in protest of liberal Prime Minister Donald Tusk’s judicial coup, which is actually a German takeover of Poland by proxy to prepare Europe for war with Russia. Permanent Representative to the UN Professor Krzysztof Szczerski followed in the footsteps of Ambassador to China Jakub Kumoch and Ambassador to Romania Pawe? Soloch on Friday. Foreign Minister Radek Sikorski isn’t pleased with this development and made his feelings known in an X post.

“All three have explained their decisions by referring to actions taken by the Polish government that they could not accept as Polish citizens and did not wish to endorse by continuing their diplomatic missions. Poland has spent more than three decades building its reputation as a stable, secure and reliable international partner. Today, the world sees images of police deployed at one of Poland’s most important constitutional institutions, alongside the resignations of senior Polish diplomats“.

Around 300,000 migrants working temporarily in social care in the UK will now be able to live in the country permanently…along with their families…

It’s not quite citizenship, but it’s close enough.  The UK offers a number of loopholes or “fast tracks” to permanent residency for third world migrants, and one of those loopholes is “Indefinite Leave to Remain” (ILR), also known as permanent settlement.

Settlement status allows migrants to stay in the UK essentially for the rest of their lives, with unrestricted access to the labor market, access to health and welfare benefits, and the ability to leave and reenter the country any time they wish. It also gives them the ability to bring their families to live in the UK.  They enjoy many of the advantages of citizens, except they don’t get to vote and their children do not automatically become citizens.

The Democratic midterm sweep threatens to complicate President Trump’s “America First” agenda. Still, the biggest risk to the nation’s industrial revival is at the state and local levels, as Democrats are set to push data center moratoriums.

At the state level, Democrats’ sweep of Texas will likely deliver a particularly hard blow to Musk, who uprooted operations to escape California Democrats years ago. Now, Tesla and SpaceX are clear targets for Texas Democrats.

Lefty James Talarico was elected as Texas senator, and Gina Hinojosa was elected governor, making them the first Democrats to win either office in more than a generation. These Democrats have called for immediate AI regulation and a moratorium on data centers, and there will likely be immense state-level lawfare against Musk’s Tesla and SpaceX empires.

Now official… Democrats just won every single statewide office in Texas:

Senate
Governor
Lt. Governor
Attorney General
Land Commissioner
Comptroller of Public Accounts
Agriculture Commissioner
Railroad Commissioner
All 4 Supreme Court Justices

While the Iranians are celebrating with smug satisfaction the Democrats’ historic midterm blue tsunami in the US midterm elections, Russia’s leadership is reacting very differently.

Deputy Foreign Minister Sergey Ryabkov on Wednesday bluntly stated that that leaders in the US Democratic Party have a “sharply negative” approach to relations with Moscow.

Not only has Trump of late repeatedly suggested that Zelensky must go, calling for elections in Ukraine, but he has refused to sign into effect the “Lindsey O. Graham” sanctions, while lifting the sanctions on Russian diesel. These decisions have by and large outraged Democrats.

Ryabkov stated further that Russia’s position on Ukraine and broader foreign policy “is not based on short-term considerations and, naturally, does not depend on the fluctuations of the political barometer in other countries.”

Our bullish calls on Friday and Tuesday proved correct. Gold has staged a strong bounce following the midterms, directly reaching our target at USD 4,045. 

While further upside toward roughly USD 4,065 remains likely, short-term gains should now be protected as the 4-hour stochastic is becoming overbought.

That said, the expected bottoming process has delivered an important piece of the puzzle: the bulls are still alive, and the battle for USD 4,000 continues. As long as gold remains above USD 3,975, we expect additional upside in the short-term and have the falling 50MA as our next target.

Ten Random Election Night Thoughts:

1. Democrats in power is good business for conservative media and podcasters. Take that for what it is worth.

2. Half of Americans have an IQ of 100 or less.

3. Why is a midterm loss for the Presidential incumbent’s party so common? Are people really that shortsighted and devoid of animating principles? And I mean this in a non-partisan way. Who votes for Obama in 2008 and then helps the GOP win in 2010? Who votes for Trump in 2024 and then helps the Dems win in 2026? Are Americans really that stupidly fickle?

4. Why can’t every state count its votes in a few hours like Florida?

5. Democrat voters are like locusts. They ravage one state, escape that state to a good and decent state, and then turn their new state into the same hellhole they just left. Don’t believe me? Ask Colorado. Now, Texas, apparently.

6. Thune is happy right now.

7. The silver lining is that the Dems are going to accomplish nothing in the next two years other than to run endless, silly investigations and impeachments, which will make them look impotent and weak headed into 2028.

8. Trump is about to be unleashed. He has no midterms to worry about and he probably could care less about the campaign of the 2028 GOP nominee, JD or otherwise. “Unitary executive” is about to take on a new meaning.

9. If I was whomever is in charge of Iran at the moment, I’d be looking at properties in the Cayman Islands.

10. The legacy media still has more power than most conservatives are willing to acknowledge.

The Department of War’s Office of Strategic Capital (OSC) announced today a conditional loan commitment of up to $450 million to Neros, Inc., a U.S.-based developer and manufacturer of dual-use small unmanned aircraft systems (sUAS).

This investment is intended to support Neros’ domestic manufacturing expansion and reduce reliance on foreign-made components.
