TRUMP CHANGES DIRECTION ON EPSTEIN RELEASE?
- Sunday night, Trump suddenly waived a pseudo-white-flag and claimed that he would agree w Congress members Thomas Massie (R-KY) and Marjorie Taylor Green (R-GA) and Ro Khanna (D-CA) to release the “Epstein Files”, that he will sign legislation to do this, if it comes to his desk (which it will). But, as we noted yesterday, in the Sunday News Assembly, Trump ALSO wants an “investigation” (by a man named to look into any of the Epstein files that pertain to Dems), so such an investigation could lead to… lock up of the files. Not only that, but Trump has the Executive Branch power to release the information without any Congressional legislation needed. It’s astounding, and mocks the suffering of the victims. LINK And Trump made sure to pack a lot of lies about “economic progress” into his post about his change of mind. LINK
- Whitney Webb offers key points about Trump and Bondi suddenly starting an investigation, and Whitney specifically uncovers the pro-Epstein-Barr ties of the US Attorney Trump and Bondi have picked, a man named Jay Clayton:
“The Clayton appointment is so unreal. Geoffrey Berman was pressured to step down by the first Trump admin roughly a year after prosecuting Epstein in 2019 (as I recall it was around the time when Berman was targeting Steve Bannon). Bill Barr tried to have Clayton replace him in 2020, but was unsuccessful. Clayton spent the time waiting to be ushered into that position by Trump earlier this year at Epstein associate Leon Black’s Apollo Global in a board position they seemingly made JUST FOR HIM.
In other words, Clayton is the guy the 1st Trump administration and Bill Barr specifically wanted in to replace the people who had Epstein (and later Maxwell) arrested and when they couldn’t do it, a super rich Epstein associate gave him tons of money and now he has been installed in that position to “investigate” Epstein.
How stupid do they think people are?”
-Meghyn Kelly has noted that there must be corruption, possible blackmail, tied to the Epstein-Maxwell crimes, but she doesn’t seem to grasp that fourteen-year-old females are kids. This youngster offers Meghyn some pointers on the matter. LINK
- These are some of the women Epstein and Maxwell exploited and trafficked. LINK Often, the only way they could get out of the Epstein snare was to recruit another youngster, thus making the girls, themselves, become predators and adding more to their terrible feelings of guilt. Here is Thomas Massie on that. LINK
- Trump (friends with pedophile, committer of war crimes, liar, and more) showed how low he can stoop when he tried to mock Massie and he ranted that Massie married “too quickly” after his first wife of 31-years died. Incredible. Here is what we noted in the Sunday News Assembly.
“TRUMP BATHES IN FILTH, ATTACKING MASSIE’S NEW MARRIAGE
A man who has such a dark past with his own indiscretions that it’s a black hole, Trump tried to mock Massie’s marriage, as a way to attack Massie in his reelection. This isn’t sitting well with a lot of people. You can see some of the reactions in this article, and you’ll also note that the writers had to take a stake in whether the 2020 election was suspicious. Regardless of that debatable point (the 2020 election “manipulation” was never proven, but the battle for the levers of the state, already immoral for being about statism, also looked pretty darn suspicious as the “votes” were counted), here is the article. LINK”
-Laura Loomer added her acidic idiocy to Trump’s insinuation. LINK and LINK
-Thomas Massie also notes that Trump’s backers in his political vendetta against Massie in KY are funded by Israeli figures, one of whom is tied to Epstein. LINK
-More key points, from Mr. Massie. LINK
-And more from Thomas M. LINK And another key point from him, on ABC LINK
-This exchange between Tucker Carlson and MTG offers more good thoughts about the attacks on Massie, though one has to wonder about Carlson claiming that Lindsay Graham (with whom he strongly disagrees on many issues) is “charming” on a personal level. LINK
-This is a sign of how greatly the victims appreciate the help of people like MTG and Massie. LINK
- On CNN, Dana Bash is speechless when MTG mentions the obvious about blackmail and Epstein ties to international spy interests LINK

Thanks for reading! This post is public so feel free to share it.

US ECONOMY ENNUI
-As we noted yesterday, Trump claims that the US government is reducing its debt. Seriously. LINK
-Treasury Sec Scott Bessent just claimed that beef prices in the US are not dropping BECAUSE THOSE EEEVIL MIGRANTS BROUGHT THEIR CATTLE WITH THEM. Seriously. Here he is with Maria B, spouting his nonsense: LINK
-And, let’s recall these items from Sunday:
-Holiday decor will be harder to find and will be more expensive (of course). LINK
- THE LARGE PICTURE: As The Financial Times notes a steeply increasing number of older homeowners increasingly turning to reverse mortgages amid economic pressures like persistent inflation and what this article purports are “cuts” to social benefits (no welfare is being cut, despite it being toweringly unconstitutional and immoral to engage in the redistribution of wealth predicated on politically-backed theft). LINK
- Foreclosures are skyrocketing, which no free-market economist ever EEEVER saw coming. Nah. LINK
- FEDERAL RESERVE STUDY HIGHLIGHTS TRUMP TARIFF DAMAGE: A new working paper from researchers at the Federal Reserve Bank of San Francisco, published just before we “went to press” today (November 15), provides fresh evidence on the economic fallout from tariffs, particularly those imposed during Donald Trump’s trade policies. The study, authored by Régis Barnichon and Aayush Singh, analyzes over 150 years of tariff data from the U.S. and other countries, concluding that tariff hikes spur aggregate demand shocks. This means they don’t just raise prices—they actively suppress economic activity, leading to higher unemployment and job losses. Not that anyone needed a study to figure out that taxing people suppresses economic growth and productivity, leading to job losses and other opportunity costs. Of course Yahoo’s editors don’t understand inflation, which has nothing to do with tariffs. Tariffs are price increases via taxes, which suppress demand. Inflation is the expansion of the money supply that destroys the buying power of each extant unit of money… But, here is the Yahoo report, such as it is… LINK!
- Reason reports that the Trump Admin now is ADMITTING that tariffs raise prices. DUH. LINK
-AAANNNND, check out the utter vacuousness of this former US bureaucrat when it comes to tariff taxes. Jaw-dropping ignorance. LINK
- Reminder of Target’s biiig job cuts. LINK
-And, after so much damage has been done, Trump on Nov 14 signed an EO dropping the tariffs against numerous nations and numerous of their exports to the US. The only trouble (in addition to the immorality of tariffs, the unconstitutional nature of Trump imposing them?) — Tariffs on almost all of these were ZERO at this time last year. LINK Here is a fun meme that encapsulates the Trump economic foolishness, and here are some data on the tariffs imposed on imports from these nations…
The reciprocal tariffs, introduced earlier in 2025 as part of President Trump’s “America First” trade strategy, applied broadly to imports from major U.S. trading partners. However, the November 14 executive order primarily exempts agricultural products from countries involved in recent U.S. trade deals or negotiations, focusing on those unable to produce these goods domestically in sufficient quantities. Key nations include:

• Latin America (core focus of deals): El Salvador, Argentina, Ecuador, Guatemala (eliminating tariffs and non-tariff barriers on U.S. exports in exchange).

• Asia: Malaysia, Cambodia, Thailand, Vietnam.

• Europe: United Kingdom, European Union, Switzerland.

• Other: Japan and South Korea (via investment deals).

Overall, the November 14, 2025, action restores rates to 2024 levels (mostly 0%) by exempting the 2025 reciprocal additions, potentially lowering costs by 3-7% on these items per USDA estimates. We will discuss precise numbers on precise products tonight, on Liberty Conspiracy LIVE at 6 pm on Rumble and X “at” gardgoldsmith
- Finally, on this multi-faceted topic, Daniel McAdams and Ron Paul discuss the fact that the US DEBT rose $620 BILLION during that 42-day “shutdown” period. They then move into the burdens Trump’s tariffs are laying onto US businesses, burdens that include higher costs for materials, lower interest from consumers, and decision-making problems because of regime uncertainty, as Robert Higgs termed the problem of mercurial and unpredictable political power over market participants. LINK
-Gold supply chain is being bumped down a bit… LINK
-Bessent admits that TARIFFS RAISE PRICES. DUH. LINK
