-International Events-

Middle East: The war continues as before. Both Israeli and Hezbollah forces have continued trading missile strikes in Lebanon. Hezbollah has increasingly attempted to target Haifa, as Israeli forces continue their invasion of southern Lebanon.

South Carolina: This morning 43 Rhesus monkeys conducted a coordinated escape from the Alpha Genesis research facility in Yemassee. The monkeys themselves have allegedly not taken part in any medical experimentation as this facility is mostly used for breeding the monkeys for research at other facilities. However, it is not clear how the monkeys escaped, or for how long they may have been planning this operation. Consequently, locals have been advised to keep their windows and doors closed as a precautionary measure to prevent the monkeys from claiming squatters rights on their property before they are deported.

Analyst Comments: As expected following any election that results in a change of power, the mad rush to push through as much legislation as possible has begun. Though it’s hard to say how federal changes will result in that much difference at the state level, many states (such as California) are attempting to string up as much red tape as possible before Inauguration Day. Some politicians are openly stating that they intend to fight Trump’s win in the courts, pending an investigation of voter fraud. If those efforts fail, it’s likely that some politicians will attempt to halt the certification of Trump’s win before it takes place on January 6th. Consequently, large-scale demonstrations could be expected at the Capitol as many liberal voters attempt to redress their concerns about the election before Congress.
