Van Jones just ADMITTED exactly how the Democrats tricked the American people leading up to the midterms.

The Democrats needed you to believe that the economy under Trump was historically terrible. So they screamed “affordability” as often as they could.

Yes, things were rough. But what they didn’t tell you is that an economic boom was emerging.

As @VDHanson explained on my show last week, 165,000 new jobs were just announced. The poverty rate is at an all-time low at 10.2%. The per capita family income is $87,000, a new record. The GDP was just revised at 3.4, and the Atlanta Fed said it’ll be 5 by the end of the year.

The stock market was also 20,000 points higher and income was $14,000 higher than it was during the 2022 midterms when Biden stopped the red wave. During that election, inflation was at a record of 9.1% and gas prices were about the same as they are now.

That’s the honest truth: Looking at the metrics, Trump’s 2026 economy is BETTER or THE SAME as in 2022 under Biden.

But in 2022, the media didn’t focus on the economy. They insisted Biden did a great job getting us out of the COVID era and the high gas prices due to the Ukraine war were worth it.

This time around, Van Jones bragged on CNN that a secret operation called the “American Accountability Network” coordinated tens of thousands of real people to blast hundreds of millions of targeted posts across social media to con the American people into believing the economy was in total ruin.

And he wanted CNN viewers to know that they shouldn’t be worried: he was “given permission” to reveal this secret weapon!

Um, BY WHO? Who told him that it’s okay to reveal and brag about how the Democrats lied to the American people?

Par une froide journée de novembre 1874, une petite fille naquit dans un minuscule village de l’Île-du-Prince-Édouard, au Canada. Ses parents la nommèrent Lucy Maud Montgomery.
Elle ne se souviendrait jamais de sa mère.
Avant que Maud n’ait deux ans, la tuberculose emporta Clara Montgomery. Son père, brisé par le chagrin, ne supportait plus de regarder cette enfant qui avait les yeux de sa mère. Il confia la fillette à ses grands-parents âgés à Cavendish, partit en Saskatchewan, se remaria et fonda une nouvelle famille.
La petite fille qu’il laissa derrière lui ne le reverrait presque jamais.
Imaginez être cet enfant.
Pas de frères ni de sœurs. Peu de tendresse. Seulement une ferme isolée, deux grands-parents écossais presbytériens sévères, et un silence infini. L’esprit imaginatif de la jeune Maud se heurtait sans cesse à la discipline rigide de sa grand-mère et aux attentes froides de son grand-père.
Alors elle fit ce que tant d’enfants solitaires ont fait à travers l’histoire.
Elle créa d’autres mondes.
Elle inventa des amis imaginaires qui la comprenaient. Elle donna des noms aux arbres du verger et conversait avec eux. Elle transforma les collines verdoyantes et les routes d’argile rouge de l’Île-du-Prince-Édouard en royaumes enchantés où des filles comme elle pouvaient enfin trouver leur place. À neuf ans, elle commença à confier son cœur à la poésie et aux journaux intimes, donnant une voix aux sentiments qu’elle ne pouvait exprimer à haute voix.
Les livres devinrent son refuge. Et elle osa rêver : un jour, elle serait écrivaine. Un jour, ses histoires compteraient.
Mais le chemin vers ce rêve fut brutal.
Adolescente, elle partit brièvement vivre en Saskatchewan chez son père et sa nouvelle épouse. Ce fut un désastre. Sa belle-mère lui en voulait. Maud se sentait comme une intruse dans ce qui aurait dû être sa propre famille. Elle retourna à l’Île-du-Prince-Édouard le cœur brisé — mais déterminée.
Elle obtint son diplôme d’enseignante, étudia la littérature à l’université et accepta des postes d’institutrice qu’elle détestait. Mais l’enseignement payait les factures — et surtout, lui laissait du temps pour écrire.
Au début de la trentaine, elle avait déjà publié plus de cent nouvelles. Sa plume commençait à être reconnue. Mais elle rêvait de plus grand.
Puis, en 1905, elle trouva l’inspiration dans une vieille note de carnet :
« Un couple âgé demande à un orphelinat un garçon. Par erreur, on leur envoie une fille. »
À partir de cette seule phrase, tout changea.
Elle versa sa propre solitude d’enfance dans une orpheline bavarde, rousse et couverte de taches de rousseur : Anne Shirley. Elle donna à Anne l’imagination ardente qui avait sauvé son propre esprit. Elle situa l’histoire sur l’Île-du-Prince-Édouard qu’elle aimait — à la fois sa prison et son paradis. Et elle offrit à Anne l’amour inconditionnel dont la petite Maud avait tant manqué toute son enfance.
Lorsqu’elle acheva le manuscrit, elle l’intitula Anne of Green Gables.
Éditeur après éditeur le refusa.
Trop long. Trop centré sur une fille. Pas assez commercial.
Dévastée, Montgomery rangea le manuscrit dans une boîte à chapeaux et tenta de l’oublier.
Pendant près de deux ans, Anne Shirley prit la poussière dans cette boîte tandis que Montgomery écrivait d’autres histoires, d’autres poèmes, essayant d’avancer.
Mais Anne refusa de se taire.
En 1907, Montgomery ressortit le manuscrit, le révisa une dernière fois et l’envoya à la maison d’édition L.C. Page Company, à Boston.
Cette fois, quelqu’un comprit ce qu’elle avait créé.
En juin 1908, Anne of Green Gables fut publié. Lucy Maud Montgomery avait trente-trois ans.
Ce qui suivit dépassa tous les rêves qu’elle avait jamais osé faire.
Le livre se vendit immédiatement dès le premier tirage. En un an, il connut six réimpressions. Les librairies n’arrivaient pas à suivre. Des lecteurs de tous âges tombèrent amoureux de l’irrésistible Anne Shirley — de son « champ d’imagination », de sa loyauté farouche, de sa détermination à trouver la beauté même dans l’adversité.
Mark Twain déclara qu’Anne était « l’enfant la plus chère et la plus attachante de la fiction depuis l’immortelle Alice ».
Des lettres de lecteurs affluèrent du monde entier.
Soudain, la petite fille solitaire de Cavendish — celle que personne ne voulait — était devenue célèbre.
Montgomery écrivit huit livres d’Anne, vingt romans au total, plus de 530 nouvelles et 500 poèmes. Elle épousa un pasteur presbytérien, éleva deux fils (après en avoir perdu un à la naissance) et passa des décennies à s’occuper d’un mari souffrant de dépression sévère. Elle lutta contre ses propres ténèbres — survécut à la pandémie de grippe espagnole de 1918, endura les horreurs de la Première Guerre mondiale, affronta des éditeurs qui la trompaient.
À travers tout cela, elle continua d’écrire.
Lorsque Lucy Maud Montgomery mourut le 24 avril 1942, elle fut enterrée sur son Île-du-Prince-Édouard bien-aimée — le lieu qui l’avait façonnée, inspirée et lié à jamais à sa création la plus célèbre.
Aujourd’hui, plus de 150 ans après sa naissance, son héritage vit encore de manière extraordinaire.
Anne of Green Gables n’a jamais cessé d’être publié. Il a été traduit dans au moins 36 langues. Il s’est vendu à plus de 50 millions d’exemplaires dans le monde. L’Île-du-Prince-Édouard est devenue « l’île d’Anne », attirant chaque année des centaines de milliers de visiteurs.
Mais peut-être que son plus grand héritage ne se mesure ni en ventes de livres ni en tourisme.
Il se mesure aux générations de lecteurs — surtout de jeunes filles — qui se sont reconnues dans l’histoire d’Anne Shirley. Qui ont vu leur propre solitude reflétée. Qui ont appris qu’être différent n’était pas quelque chose à cacher, mais à célébrer.
Lucy Maud Montgomery a transformé la douleur de son enfance en des histoires qui ont donné de l’espoir à des millions d’enfants.
Elle a prouvé que l’imagination n’est pas une fuite — c’est une forme de survie.
Elle a montré que l’enfant solitaire qui parle aux arbres et rêve d’appartenance peut grandir et créer quelque chose qui touche le monde entier.
D’une boîte à chapeaux à un phénomène mondial.
D’un nourrisson abandonné à une légende littéraire.
Du chagrin à la guérison — non seulement pour elle-même, mais pour tous ceux qui se sont un jour sentis étrangers, en quête d’un foyer.
Merci, Lucy Maud Montgomery.
Merci pour Anne.
Et merci d’avoir prouvé que la fille que personne ne voulait pouvait devenir l’écrivaine dont le monde entier avait besoin.

@Latterdaytruth I agree. Those things are the worst and too many of my children and their spouses don’t see the harm. Ugh.

[Victor Davis Hanson @VDHanson]

The Midterm is Not the Endterm

It is too soon to calibrate the direction of the post midterm Democratic and Republican Parties.

But if the first 72 hours are any indication—and despite the soon to be Speaker’s denials—the Left is already bragging about subpoenas, and it is intoxicated by the notion of investigations and impeachments.

Heady Democrats have entirely forgotten the politically suicidal fashion of the 2021-4 five civil and criminal courtroom circuses, the Mar-a-Lago raid, and the blue state deballoting efforts.

All that and more fueled the Trump recovery.

Wild talk of multi-trillion-dollar new agendas grows, like socializing the health care system, a renewed Green New Deal, student loan forgiveness, and illegal alien amnesties, along with new punitive income and estate regulations and taxes.

This socialist dream is reminiscent of the 2021 giddy splurging that gave the country a 9.1% inflation rate by midterm year 2022.

Along with the Afghanistan disaster (the Left’s correction for a Middle East ‘forever war”) the inflation would ensure Biden a 40% popularity.

The idea that the Left, which cannot do much real lawmaking without a veto-proof Congress, will try to reach deals with the White House, adopt a 1995 Clinton-like realist agenda, simply claim credit for the growing Trump economy, or moderate its rhetoric is highly unlikely.

Instead, we hear crazy talk of confiscations, new billionaire and millionaire punitive taxes, imprisonments, changing the Constitution—all in full suicidal 1972 McGovern style.

Republicans are blame-gaming each other, which can be constructive if over issues and reforms rather than social media ad hominem. But they need to message far better, about both the administration’s successes and the dangers of a socialist future.

There will be likely be no planned presidential succession, or gentlemanly agreement on a front runner. That’s likely good news. More likely as of now a triangular race between front-runners De Santis, Rubio, and Vance emerges—all of whom are far preferable to any ticket with a Newsom, Harris, AOC, Mamdani, or el-Sayed.

If the Republicans can stay reasonably united, they can ensure permanent presidential vetoes of crazy leftwing legislation, fight back on the Democratic committee inquisitions, and see the economy in the final two years become an asset in recovering their popularity.

Absent in all conversations is that there is increasing evidence that the economy is actually expanding and has the potential to boom in 2027, or at least the data indicate such potential.

The jobs report came out yesterday with a stunning 165,000 jobs created in October (accompanied by the usual journalists’ adverb “unexpectantly”), dropping unemployment to 4.1%.

Revised 3rd GDP stats now show a robust 3.4% growth—likely ensuring at least 3%+ growth for the year.

Third Quarter consumer spending soared 3.8%.

Private domestic investment surged with 19.4% growth.

Just reported last week: median family income in 2025 hit a new record ($87,460)—the highest in 60 years adjusted for inflation. And poverty dipped to its lowest rate (ever 10.2%).

In October manufacturing activity grew faster than at any time in the past five years.

Yes, prices are too high, and final 2026 inflation, given gas hikes, is scheduled to increase by one point (3.7%) from last year’s (2.7%). But it is still lower than the pan-European average (ca. 4+%)—and much lower than the Biden average over four years of 5.1%.

Gas prices are already falling. On November 6 prices fell to a $4.06 average—as global oil transit is mostly back to prewar levels and refineries scramble to handle the increased deliveries.

U.S. companies are dominating all the top 10 rankings in market capitalization/usage in key area such as software, AI, digital media, space, satellite launches, and bio/genetic engineering.

Note that today gas prices are not that much higher than 4 years ago at the 2022 midterm time ($4.06 vs. ca. $3.80), and haven’t once spiked to $5 a gallon as they did in 2022, just four months before the Biden midterms.

Yet oddly, the red wave sputtered in 2022 when the U.S. was in far worse economic shape than this week when the blue wave became a tsunami.

Messaging, media, and communication count, so note:

Four years ago GDP growth was lower than today—even though the pandemic was about over and there was a dramatic return to work and spending.

The inflation rate was almost three times higher in 2022 than now.

Median family income was $14,000 lower than now. The poverty rate was higher in 2022.

The Dow was 20,000 points lower. Foreign investment will likely end the year 30-40% higher than in 2022.

Real wage growth (nominal wages minus inflation) while not great in 2026 is likely to end the year far better than in 2022 (when real wage growth fell 2-3%).

So why would “affordability” have been decisive in the 2026 midterms when it was not in 2022?

The 21% aggregate inflation rate Trump inherited force-multiplied the average 3.15% Trump inflation rate of 2025-6— yet in a way the aggregate first-term Trump inflation rate (7.7% just a third of the Biden total) did not exaggerate all that much the 9.1% inflation rate in 2022.

Messaging, however, matters. The administration did not explain adequately that a 21% rise in prices cannot be lowered without radical deflation or recession, but only ameliorated by medium family income growth and lowering the inflation rate from the Biden 2021-5 averages, both of which occurred in 2025-6, but were forgotten.

Media coverage of the Biden 2022 weak economy were muted, while Trump’s 2-year inflation rate was exaggerated during 2026.

The Iran war became the culprit as a war of choice that made the inherited Biden 21% high prices and the inability to lower were them solely Trump’s fault. Again, there was inadequate explanation of either the economic reality or why the gamble to denuclearize Iran was defensible–with the caveat that stopping the bombing at day 38 and talking with theocrats for seven months was an unfortunate mistake.

The domestic and foreign policy activism of the lame-duck Clinton (1998-2000} and Obama (2014-2016) presidencies increased after their loss of Congress. Indeed, their popularity climbed from a once nadir of below forty to sixty percent approval or above.

There is no reason why the Trump administration cannot have a successful last two years. The economy is growing.

The crime rate is at historic lows.

The border is closed shut. The radical pro-Western political transformation of South and Central America has remade the entire Western Hemisphere.

European NATO is rearming.

Oil and gas production is at highest levels of any nation in history.

The bloated federal work force has been trimmed by over 270,000 jobs.

There is no longer a 40,000-50,000 shortfall in military recruitment. The forced reforms in higher education were long overdue.

The verdict on Iran is still out.

If it is denuclearized, the crippling sanctions continued, the Strait kept open, the provincial opposition armed—and our military gone home— the regime will face an increasingly restive population

2026 was an unequivocal defeat, but 2028 need not be.

If the administration and Congress stay disciplined and united, and can message better, while the Left goes utterly berserk, drunk on their midterm successes, socialism/Islamism, and Trump Derangement Syndrome 2.0, the tide will soon radically turn— as the economy already has.

[Chris Martz @ChrisMartzWX]

How do I know the climate “crisis” is a scam?

Here are five reasons:

1️⃣ None of the politicians, celebrities, or “scientists” talking about it have changed their own lifestyles in any way. If they actually stopped using oil and gas products, I’d take them seriously. Actions speak louder than words.

2️⃣ Climate conferences still aren’t held on Zoom using their large meeting extensions. Instead these gremlins keep flying around the world lecturing us about shrinking our carbon footprints while doing nothing to shrink their own.

3️⃣ Wealthy alarmists are still living on or buying oceanfront property. If sea levels were rising at anything close to a catastrophic rate (instead of the gradual increase we actually see), they would be moving inland and banks would stop writing loans for those properties.

4️⃣ The same people never criticize China or India. They always have a ready list of excuses for why the world’s biggest and fastest-growing CO₂ emitters get a free pass to keep burning fossil fuels.

5️⃣ The only “solutions” they ever offer involve more government power. Higher taxes. EV mandates. Restrictions or bans on the energy sources they don’t like.

“While serving as a General Authority Seventy, I had one of those unexpected teaching moments that life presents to us.

This was when the financial crash was in full swing and our country was experiencing the most drastic drop in the economy since the Great Depression.

Every day there were new announcements. The stock market crash. The collapse of the housing market. Major banks, mortgage companies, retirement funds, and investment houses were failing. There was talk of massive government bailouts. Unemployment was skyrocketing.

A dark cloud had settled over the country and was spreading to other nations.

In the fall of 2007, my assignment as a General Authority Seventy was in Salt Lake City, working in the Church Office Building. One day I went down to a small cafeteria in the basement of the Church Administration Building that is reserved for General Authorities.

After getting my food, I saw that four of my colleagues in the Seventy were seated at a table for six, just starting to eat. They invited me to join them. We spoke briefly about our various assignments, but soon the talk turned to the current financial crisis.

It didn’t take long for our conversation to become quite bleak in tone.

One of the brethren had a grandchild who had recently graduated with an MBA but was having no luck in finding employment.

Another reported that a grandchild was unsure about wanting to get married and bring children into the world.

About that time, as this cloud of gloom settled over our lunch table, Russell M. Nelson, then Elder Nelson of the Twelve, came into the lunchroom with a tray of food. Seeing that we had a vacant spot at our table, he joined us.

He ate quietly for a time as our conversation went right on in that same sense of discouragement.

Finally, one of the brethren said, “They’re talking about the possibility of the whole government of the United States failing. Then what shall we do?”

Elder Nelson, who hadn’t said much since sitting down, laid down his fork and looked at us directly.

His expression was very sober as he spoke quietly, saying something like this: “Brethren, the Lord chose the United States of America as the place for the Restoration of the gospel in our dispensation.

He did that so we would have a base of religious freedom that would sustain the work of the Restoration.

Also, the financial affluence and the political stability of the United States makes it possible for our Church to take the gospel to the world.

That is a task that is not yet finished.

Brethren, the Lord is at the helm!

He will not let this work fail.”

That was more than ten years ago, but I still vividly remember two things.

First, how sheepish we felt for letting ourselves become so NEGATIVE.

And the second was the lesson taught:

GOD IS IN CONTROL.
Why then do we fear?

It was a profound teaching moment, and I have reminded myself of that day often when I have found myself growing discouraged and pessimistic.

GOD IS AT THE HELM!

(The Second Coming of the Lord by Gerald N. Lund; Chapter 2)

Babylon is in the process of falling. Zion is in the process of being built.

Stay with the Brethren.
Our path has not changed.
Our work continues.
The BEST is yet to come!

What an interesting read...........

On Jeopardy the other night, the final question asked: “How many steps does the guard take during his walk across the Tomb of the Unknown?”
All three contestants missed it.
Tomb of the Unknown Soldier
1. How many steps does the guard take during his walk across the Tomb and why?
He takes 21 steps — symbolizing the 21-gun salute, the highest military and foreign tribute.
2. How long does he pause before turning to walk back and why?
He waits 21 seconds, again in honor of the same tradition.
3. Why are his gloves damp?
They are lightly moistened to ensure he never loses his grip on his rifle.
4. Does he keep his rifle on the same shoulder, and if not, why?
He always carries it on the shoulder farthest from the Tomb. After each crossing, he performs an about-face and moves it to the outside shoulder.
5. How often are the guards changed?
Every 30 minutes, 24/7, 365 days a year.
6. What are the physical requirements for a Tomb Guard?
Applicants must be between 5'10" and 6'2" and have a waist no larger than 30".
Other expectations of the Guard:
They devote two years to the Tomb, live in the barracks beneath it, and must refrain from drinking alcohol on or off duty for the rest of their lives.
They can never swear in public or dishonor the uniform or the Tomb.
After two years, they earn a wreath pin signifying their service — fewer than 400 are currently worn.
If they violate the code, they must relinquish the pin.
Their shoes have thick soles to protect against extreme temperatures and metal heel plates that create the crisp click when they halt.
Uniforms must have zero wrinkles or lint and are inspected in a full-length mirror.
For the first six months, guards do not speak to anyone and do not watch television.
Their off-duty time is spent studying the 175 notable individuals buried at Arlington National Cemetery, memorizing who they are and where they rest.
Among them: President Taft, Joe E. Lewis, and Audie Murphy, the most decorated WWII soldier.
Every guard spends five hours daily preparing their uniform.
ETERNAL REST GRANT THEM, O LORD, AND LET PERPETUAL LIGHT SHINE UPON THEM.
When Hurricane Isabel approached Washington, D.C. in 2003, Congress shut down for two days. The guards were offered permission to suspend duty due to danger.
They replied: “No way, Sir!”
Drenched and marching through the storm, they insisted that guarding the Tomb is the highest honor, not just a task.
The Tomb has been continuously guarded — day and night — since 1930.
God Bless and Keep Them
I don’t often encourage sharing posts, but I would be honored if this one reached as many people as possible. We should always feel proud of the men and women who serve, wherever they are stationed.
