November 7th – 2024 Presidential Politics – Resistance Day 1389


Posted originally on the CTH on November 7, 2024 | Sundance

“This was no small thing, to restore a republic after it had fallen into corruption. I have studied history for years and I cannot recall it ever happening. It may have been that our task was impossible. Yet, if we did not try then how would we know it could not be done? And if we did not try, it most certainly would not be done. The Founders’ Republic, and the larger war for western civilization, would have been lost.”

“But I tell you this: We did not go gently into that bloody collectivist good night. Indeed, we made with our defiance such a sound as ALL history from this day forward will be forced to note, even if they despise us in the writing of it.”

Violence Against Conservative Politicians – APL

I have met Anna Paulina Luna (APL) and have been impressed by her policies and tenacity. Anna is receiving an unprecedented amount of hate for her conservative views. Her campaign manager was recently assaulted, and I fear that we can expect more violence against conservatives in the weeks to come if Trump secures a victory.

People assume all of Florida is bright red, but that is simply not true. My county, in particular, is a mix, potentially leaning blue. There is a good mix of Trump and Harris flags and an uptick of pro-Harris-Walz protests, although there was a poor turnout when Harris attempted to campaign here.

Anna Paulina Luna has become a target for the violent left. A few weeks ago, far-left supporters doxed Anna and revealed her home address. The St. Petersburg Police Department confirmed that Luna’s office received death threats a few months ago. ““My office has received a very serious shooting threat,” she said. “This division and hate campaign against Republicans is going to get someone killed. I will not be threatened, intimidated, or bow down to those using violence as a means to push their agenda. We will win,” Luna wrote.

Luna, an Air Force veteran, has accused the radical left’s campaign of hate for the increase in violent threats. Most recently, her campaign manager was physically assaulted by one of her political rival’s supporters.

“A male Whitney Fox supporter shook hands with her father at the Clearwater early polling location before getting physical with my female campaign manager and her father,” said Rep. Anna Paulina Luna.

Instead of offering protection or asking their radicalized supporters to back down, the demonization of Luna has continued. Chairwoman Suzan DelBene has attacked Luna’s heritage, accusing her of lying about her father’s Jewish heritage and accusing her grandfather of fighting for the Nazis.

We are witnessing neighbors turn against one another. Luna’s own neighbor posted her personal information on Facebook with the message: “I know where she lives if anyone is interested in sending her a love letter or … something. She dwells right around the corner.”

I worry that these threats will turn into actual acts of violence. If Trump secures a victory, the left will not accept defeat. They have been told that his supporters are “deplorable,” “Nazis,” and “garbage” who want to ruin what is left of this great nation.

Unrestricted Abortions under Kamala is Improbable


Posted originally on Nov 5, 2024 By Martin Armstrong |  

For the one-issue voters honing in on abortion – do you know that the president does not have the power to overturn the Supreme Court ruling? Abortion is now in the hands of individual states. Kamala Harris has promised to codify Roe v Wade into the US Constitution, but it’s not possible at this time.

Harris would need the full support of both chambers of Congress. She knows that she could never secure enough votes which is why she would like to eliminate the Senate filibuster to allow legislation to pass with a majority of 51 votes instead of 60. There are people on both sides who do not agree with ending the filibuster for various reasons.

Harris would need to end the Hyde Amendment that restricts Medicaid coverage for abortions. Low-income individuals are more prone to seek out abortion services. She would likely need Congress to approve funding for abortion services, as the federal government already funds Planned Parenthood.

Abortion Protests

Restricting state-level bans would also need to happen. The Bible Belt will ensure that their states have separate legislation in their state Constitutions that Harris would need to override.

Then, whatever is passed is simply not enough. For example, on our local ballot in Florida, they would like minors to have access to abortions without parental authorization. Children are unable to undergo medical procedures without parental authorization, but the far-left believes they have the ability to choose whether it’s right to terminate a pregnancy or switch their gender. Roe technically applies to 22 to 24 weeks of pregnancy, but individual journalists have shown that countless agencies have no problem performing abortions well into the third trimester.

Kamala Harris pledges to implement unrestricted abortion within her first 100 days of office. There is absolutely no way she could accomplish all of the above within a few months. It is simply not possible to mobilize public support for such a polarizing measure.

LEFT Planning Major Uprising if Trump Wins to Force Him To Call Out National Guard


Posted Nov 4, 2024 By Martin Armstrong

This was the riot when Trump won in 2016. There is even concern that they might try to assassinate Trump if he wins. He better keep some private bodyguards. These Neocons have seized power and will not simply go quietly. There are schemes rumored that the Transition Integrity Project, dominated by the LEFTISTS, will stage a major riot in DC if Trump wins far worse than in 2017. They intend to force him to call out the National Guard and then claim that is proof he is a dictator. They plan to block out everything Trump tries to do to paralyze the country. There is no more America.

To the best of my knowledge, the updated U.S. Department of Defense (DOD) directive does not authorize federal troops to use lethal force against citizens, contrary to social media posts but the subtle changes include threat to national security in the revision of the 2024 U.S. presidential election. However, under the Posse Comitatus Act, it is illegal for military personnel to use force against people in the United States unless for self-defense or where “under circumstances expressly authorized by the Constitution or Act of Congress.” The National Guard is the exception. If the Civil War broke out, chances are nobody would pay attention to this statute, but it could be argued that they were acting in self-defense.

  1. Focus of the 2016 Version

The 2016 version of the directive did not mention the use of lethal force. Instead, it focused on:

  • Civil liberties protections: Ensuring strict oversight for operations involving U.S. citizens.
  • Intelligence collection restrictions: Limiting when and how U.S. person’s information (USPI) could be collected.
  • Privacy safeguards: Protecting privacy rights and preventing unauthorized data collection.

The 2016 directive centered around intelligence gathering, with no mention of lethal force

  1. New Provisions in the 2024 Version

The 2024 update introduces a dramatic shift, particularly regarding domestic operations. Section 3.3.a.(2)(c) now explicitly permits lethal force in cases of imminent threats or national security emergencies, provided the action complies with legal oversight, specifically DoDD 5210.56, which governs the use of deadly force by DoD personnel.

Home Sales Reach 14-Year Low in the US


Posted originally on Nov 4, 2024 By Martin Armstrong 

RealEstate

The home buying frenzy seen during the pandemic years has ended. We are no longer in a seller’s market as the tides have shifted. The National Association of Realtors reported that home sales in the US slowed to a 14-year low this September.

Sales declined 3.5% on an annual basis. Existing homes declined 1% on a monthly basis to a seasonally adjusted rate of 3.84 million on an annual basis. Home sales have not been this slow in the US since October 2010 when the housing market was recovering from the real estate crash.

Home prices are continuing to increase, rising for the 15th consecutive month. The median home price in America is 3% higher than one year ago at $404,500. The higher average home price has left many would-be buyers out of the market. First-time buyers accounted for only 26% of homes sold last month, but historically, they usually compose about 40% of all sales. Home prices have increased 49% in the past five years since the pandemic.

Inventory has been increasing with 1.39 million available properties, an astounding 23% increase from September 2023.

Mortgage rates on the 30-year reached their highest level in three months but remain well below last year’s high of around 8%

I forecast that real estate in the United States would turn into a buyer’s market in May 2024 going into August 2028 in a reversal from the buyer’s market we’ve experienced since 2020. The 2007 high on the Shiller Index was the precise day of the Economic Confidence Model. So far, all the indicators have confirmed that we should have a recessionary trend into 2028 with this turn in the model on this wave.

The October Jobs Report – USA


Posted originally on Nov 4, 2024 By Martin Armstrong 

Jobs

The job market is cooling across America, slowing to a pace not seen since late 2020 during COVID lockdowns. Now, one must remember that natural disasters decimated numerous states. Yet, I tend to look at two things – public sector growth and manufacturing.

Unemployment stands at 4.1%, while the measure of discouraged and underemployed workers held steady at 7.7%. Per usual, the Bureau of Labor and Statistics revised their calculations for previous months. August’s growth whittled down to 78,000 and September’s calculation came in at 223,000, marking a total decline of 112,000 reported jobs in that two-month period.

The US has been desperate to revive its manufacturing sector. The Biden-Harris Administration had promised to create one million new manufacturing jobs in 2024, but 10 months of data later, and it seems not a single position was created. The BLS admitted that manufacturing jobs fell by 577,000 since March 2022. In October, the sector loss 49,000, largely attributed to the Boeing strike.

1 Big Government

So, America is struggling to produce goods to sell. In the meantime, the federal government bulked up the public sector by 40,000 jobs. Those are 40,000 employees relying on taxpayer funds and pensions in a sector that only SUBTRACTS from GDP. Biden and Harris have increased the public sector by about 43,000 positions on average every month for the past 12 months.

The first release of data is always the most optimistic. The country is clearly on the wrong track as we are endlessly spending money on big government while the private sector is weakening.

The Biggest Loser and the Irony Behind it


Posted originally on the CTH on November 3, 2024 | Sundance 

If things go according to the current outlook, the biggest loser this week will not be Kamala, it will be Barack Obama. In specific terms his legacy is on the line.

Kamala Harris would not be in position without the moves Chicago Jesus made in 2020 together with James Clyburn. Obama/Clyburn picked Senator Harris.

Kamala would not be in 2024 position, were it not for the intervention of Chicago Jesus, Pelosi and the upper echelon of DNC control officers. Once again, Obama stepped in to support Kamala.  Barack Obama, together with Eric Holder, then selected Tim Walz.

This week, it’s not just the insufferable Kamala on the ballot, it’s Obama, and he knows it. That’s why he has enlisted his closest peers in media to support her, and by extension protect him. They are tied together.

Even with the media intention to present a “dead heat” contest and fraudulent Kamala “momentum”, which really isn’t about MAGA, they know that doesn’t work now; the effort to pull the goalie in the 3rd period, is more about giving the base some hope because they are worried the core has given up and won’t bother to turn up on Tuesday.

The left can see the same raw early vote data we can, but their pretending is necessary because they have a leader who desperately needs to stay relevant for their identity to survive beyond Tuesday.

Who are the Democrats without Obama?

They need morale. Yes, even in defeat, they need a morale message that can keep the movement alive. Because without it, the Obama era truly does end just as fast as it came in.

The need for control is a reaction to fear. It’s not losing the election they fear, it’s losing relevance within a political apparatus whose modern identity is built upon Chicago Jesus.

The same relevance motive and intent apply toward leftist media. There are lots of people desperate to cling to the last vestiges of something that is gone.

The era ends on Tuesday. Obama knows it, and the media know it. Kamala is clueless.

The most ironic aspect to this political dynamic will be missed by most.

President Obama rose to power in 2008 because the 18–25-year-old Millennials built him up and believed his BS.  In 2024 it is the 18–25-year-old Gen-Z who will take him down, because they don’t.
