Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent Calls Hakeem Jeffries “Ignorant” Following His False Statements Made About President Trump’s Meeting with Chinese President Xi 

Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent was on “Fox News Sunday” to discuss President Trump’s use of tariffs. He was also optimistic that the Supreme Court would side with President Donald Trump on emergency tariffs.

“What did and didn’t get accomplished when Presidents Trump and Xi met face to face?” Bream asked.

“What do you make of his characterization of what happened in China?” Bream referencing Rep Hakeem Jeffries’ inaccurate comments on President Trump.

“I think it’s ignorant, and I think it’s kind of sad he has no idea how ignorant he is, because I was in the room and I can tell you I was there for the President’s entire trip and it was a tour de force,” Bessent said.

“The President went into Malaysia, signed trade deals, peace deals with Thailand and Cambodia,” Bessent said.

“We moved onto Japan. The President and the new Prime Minister of Japan had great chemistry,” Bessent continued.

“The meeting with President Xi was one of great respect and many accomplishments,” Bessent said.

“What do you make of their characterization of you?” Bream asked regarding a Washington Post article referencing Chinese negotiators that may have upset him.

“Highly inaccurate and look we saw that Chinese manufacturing has been down for 7 months in a row. So, let’s do the math. The liberation day, April 2nd. Where are we today? November 2nd, seven months. Chinese manufacturing has been down every month,” Bessent said.

“Their trade with Europe is up 10 percent, but it’s all discounted. They’ve depreciated their currency and the Chinese economy, they are in the middle of a real estate crisis,” Bessent continued.

Secretary Bessent also talked about the rare earth minerals and explained that it has been a problem for many decades, and that the administration is working hard to become more independent in that area.

“We are going to be moving at warp speed,” Bessent said.

Newsom’s Latest Anti-Trump Talking Point Just Got DESTOYED by Facts

California Governor Gavin Newsom’s latest attack on Donald Trump is a masterclass in political distortion. 

He claims Trump has “betrayed the American people,” citing rising prices for beef, coffee, cars, utilities, and healthcare as proof. But when you look past the rhetoric and examine the actual data, every one of those claims falls apart. 

Inflation and supply issues exist—but they stem from long-term global pressures, not Trump’s economic policies.

Take beef, for example. The average retail price of ground beef reached $6.32 per pound in September 2025, according to the Bureau of Labor Statistics. That’s higher than in previous years, but the cause isn’t government mismanagement—it’s the smallest U.S. cattle herd in seventy years. 

Droughts, high feed costs, and export disruptions have all contributed to increased prices. Coffee prices tell a similar story. 

Weather disasters in Brazil and Vietnam, two of the world’s largest coffee-producing countries, caused crop shortages and sent global prices soaring. These trends are tied to supply chain and climate issues, not to anything Trump has done.

Car prices are another misleading talking point. The BLS consumer price index for new vehicles rose just 1.3% over the past year, a fraction of the massive spikes Americans saw in 2021 and 2022. 

Those earlier surges stemmed from pandemic-era supply chain disruptions and chip shortages—issues that had taken root well before Trump returned to the White House. 

Utility bills have also climbed modestly, up about 2.8% year-over-year, primarily due to higher natural gas costs and state-level regulations. 

In California, which has the highest energy rates in the country, those costs are driven by Newsom’s aggressive renewable mandates and bureaucratic inefficiency, not federal energy policy.

The most outrageous claim from Newsom is that “healthcare is about to triple.” In reality, the medical care index rose only 3.3% in the last 12 months—steady, but nowhere near a tripling.

MSNBC’s Ali Velshi Urges Viewers to Ruin Thanksgiving by Confronting Family Over Rumored Trump ‘Third Term’ Run

MSNBC host Ali Velshi has urged his dwindling audience to turn Thanksgiving dinners into heated political showdowns over the idea of Donald Trump seeking a third term as president.

In a segment titled “How We Prepare,” Velshi laid out a paranoid four-point plan to “resist” what he claims are Republican efforts to undermine future elections, while specifically calling on viewers to confront family members who dare mention a Trump third term.

“When people actually show up, that’s what works,” Velshi said.

The unhinged host continued, “In 2020, lawyers, judges and ordinary citizens forced the certification of the presidential election in the states. In Wayne county, Michigan, ground zero for the first nullification attempt, when officials flirted with refusing to certify the election, the public flooded the meeting. The plot collapsed the moment that locals caught wind of it. Republicans were willing to subvert democracy in the dark, but not so much in front of an engaged public. That’s lesson one for 2025.”

Next, he pushed for “voter buddy systems” to protect so-called vulnerable groups like Latino voters from intimidation, bizarrely warning about ICE agents lurking at polling places to scare people away. It appears to be an admission of his belief that illegal aliens are voting, as this would not be a concern for American citizens.

“Number two, create voter buddy systems, especially for neighbors who fear intimidation at the polls,” Velshi continued. “One tactic experts are worried about is the potential deployment of ICE agents to polling places. You can see why some qualified Latino voters — never mind Latino voters — anybody who’s a little bit brown like me, wouldn’t want to get caught up in a raid, thrown into detention until they can clear their names, just for going out to vote.”

His third plan point? Form “rapid-response teams” of everyday citizens to stake out polling places, voter dropboxes, and county meetings like some amateur surveillance squad.

“Build local rapid response teams, groups of ordinary citizens who show up as they’re doing in courts right now, at county meetings, at certification hearings, at voter dropboxes your physical presence is a deterrent to improper and illegal behavior,” he said.

The Trump Derangement Syndrome poster boy also advised monitoring election practices in other states as “test runs” for bigger schemes.

“Follow what’s happening in other states,” he urged. “That’s why these elections on Tuesday are so important, whether you live in one of them or not. The military deployments, attempted voter purges, the election monitors — consider them all trial runs for the bigger play, the one that’s going to happen right where you live.”

Ultimately, he asks his viewers to ruin Thanksgiving.

Velshi suggested shoving a pocket Constitution in the face of “that one uncle” who brings it up, pointing to the 22nd Amendment: “No person shall be elected to the office of the president more than twice.”

“And finally, do not let Donald Trump and Republicans normalize talk of a third term — a third presidential term is illegal. Full stop,” Velshi declared. “So when that one uncle floats a third term loophole conspiracy over Thanksgiving dinner, don’t let it slide. And if your uncle insists that it’s doable, hand him one of these: A pocket Constitution opened to the 22nd amendment, section one, which reads, quote, ‘No person shall be elected to the office of the president more than twice.’”

REPORT: Obama Preparing to Step Up Efforts to Resist Trump — ‘Not So Sure’ Country Will Survive His Presidency

Barack Obama is ready to throw his hat back into the political fray.

According to CNN, the two-time former president is “not so sure” that the country will survive Donald Trump’s presidency and is preparing to step up his campaigning efforts in support of the Democratic Party.

Their report states:

After deliberately stepping back during the Biden years — while remaining the party’s biggest fundraiser even then — Obama and his aides are reworking his longstanding strategy of minimizing his public presence to allow the next generation of Democrats to emerge.

Trump’s moves to block Democrats from power since his return to the White House and his calls to indict or shut down liberal institutions might, Obama fears, deny that next generation the chance.

…

Hitting the campaign trail for moderate gubernatorial candidates, as Obama is scheduled to do in back-to-back stops on Saturday for Mikie Sherrill in New Jersey and Abigail Spanberger in Virginia, is the easy part for the former president.

It’s what to do every other day of the year, and each of the years to come, that he’s been struggling with, according to CNN’s conversations with two dozen top Democratic officials and operatives, as well as several friends who have spoken with the former president since Trump returned to office.

The story quotes former Democratic attorney general Eric Holder, a close friend of the former president, as saying that Trump’s “harm is so profound that this calls for both a different approach generally, and a different involvement specifically by President Obama.”

“If we are focused, if we’re willing to engage, if we are willing to do the work, the nation and our democracy can survive this,” he explained.

“There will be damage done along the way — there’s no question about that. We won’t win every battle.”

Despite remaining a spiritual leader of the Democratic Party, Obama has rarely gotten involved in full-scale political campaigning since leaving office in 2017, although has stepped up for both the 2020 and 2024 presidential campaigns and significant national races.

Pelosi FLIPS OUT When President Trump Appears on Screen During Discussion on Schumer Shutdown

Trump broke Pelosi.

Former House Speaker Nancy Pelosi flipped out as soon as President Trump appeared on the screen during her interview with Spectrum News on Friday.

Pelosi joined Spectrum News’ The Rush Hour with host Giselle Fernandez to discuss the ongoing government shutdown.

Friday was day 31 of the Schumer shutdown.

Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer and the Democrats are holding Americans hostage and refusing to reopen the government because their priority is to give healthcare benefits to illegal aliens.

Pelosi called President Trump a “very, very dangerous man,” as she absurdly claimed he’s the worst president children in America have had in “our own history.”

As Pelosi yammered on, B-roll of Trump walking on the South Lawn of the White House appeared on the screen.

This angered Pelosi.

“He is the worst president for children! There he is walking! The worst! Hi!” Pelosi said waving to the screen.

She continued, “The worst president for anybody, any president in our history.”

Pelosi accused President Trump of taking food out of the mouths of babies after the Democrats voted 13 times to block government funding for SNAP benefits.

Canadian Prime Minister Mark Carney Apologizes to President Trump over ‘Fraudulent’ Ad Criticizing Tariffs

Canada’s Prime Minister Mark Carney has apologized to President Donald Trump for an ad criticizing his tariff policies.

When speaking to reporters Saturday after the Asia-Pacific Economic Cooperation Summit in Gyeongju, South Korea, Carney admitted he had told Trump he was sorry, NBC News reported.

“I did apologize,” Carney stated.

The news comes after Trump said October 25 the United States would impose an additional 10 percent tariff on Canadian imports after it aired an advertisement featuring altered audio and video of former President Ronald Reagan to undermine Trump’s tariff policy, Breitbart News reported.

“Canada was caught, red handed, putting up a fraudulent advertisement on Ronald Reagan’s Speech on Tariffs,” the president wrote in a post on Truth Social:

The sole purpose of this FRAUD was Canada’s hope that the United States Supreme Court will come to their “rescue” on Tariffs that they have used for years to hurt the United States. Now the United States is able to defend itself against high and overbearing Canadian Tariffs (and those from the rest of the World as well!). Ronald Reagan LOVED Tariffs for purposes of National Security and the Economy, but Canada said he didn’t! Their Advertisement was to be taken down, IMMEDIATELY, but they let it run last night during the World Series, knowing that it was a FRAUD. Because of their serious misrepresentation of the facts, and hostile act, I am increasing the Tariff on Canada by 10% over and above what they are paying now.

Carney said the ad was not sponsored by the Canadian government and he told Ontario Premier Doug Ford he did not want it used.

European Billionaires Funneled $2 Billion Via Transatlantic NGO Network To Erode U.S. Democracy, Finance Anti-Trump Protest Machine

A new bombshell report by Americans for Public Trust (APT), based on IRS Form 990s and media reports, reveals that five foreign “charities” have funneled nearly $2 billion into American leftist nonprofits, injecting what can only be described as a far-left extremist European policy agenda and toxic social-engineering campaigns into U.S. institutions like cancer. The report alleges that these foreign influence operations, exploiting the dark webs of the NGO world, also bankroll part of the protest industrial complex that has waged an ongoing color-revolution-style operation against President Trump, his supporters, and seeks to dismantle the Make America Great Again movement.

APT’s 31-page analysis (first revealed on Fox News), backed by grant records, shows that while foreign nationals can’t directly donate to U.S. political candidates, there is an alarming interconnected web of transatlantic funding networks into the NGO world where foreign billionaires bankroll American far-left nonprofits to unleash all sorts of activist campaigns. This unchecked foreign philanthropy risks undermining U.S. sovereignty, and according to APT Executive Director Caitlin Sutherland, who told Fox News, “foreign money is coming in, and it’s trying to erode our democracy.”

Here are the five foreign funders outlined in the report:  

  1. Quadrature Climate Foundation (UK) – $530 million
  2. KR Foundation (Denmark) – $36 million
  3. Oak Foundation (Switzerland) – $750 million
  4. Laudes Foundation (Switzerland) – $20 million
  5. Children’s Investment Fund Foundation (UK) – $553 million

The key findings are shocking:

Quadrature Climate Foundation (QCF): Founded in 2019 by hedge-fund billionaires Greg Skinner and Suneil Setiya. Has given roughly $530 million to 41 U.S. groups, including ClimateWorks Foundation ($147 M), Growald Climate Fund ($80 M), Grantham Foundation ($80 M), Windward Fund ($49 M), and Sunrise Project ($36 M). QCF also funds controversial solar-geoengineering research and “climate litigation and regulation advocacy.”

KR Foundation: Danish climate charity tied to the Carlsberg family. Has provided $36 million to 53 U.S. groups backing climate litigation, ESG advocacy, and fossil-fuel divestment. Major recipients include Center for International Environmental Law ($1.4 M), Conservation Law Foundation ($0.4 M), Oil Change International ($2.2 M), and Fossil Free Media ($1 M). It even funded The Associated Press ($300 K) for climate-related programming.

Oak Foundation: Swiss-based trust founded by British billionaire Alan Parker. Gave >$750 million to 152 U.S. groups advancing “climate justice” and lawsuits against fossil-fuel firms.

Key recipients include:

  • Environmental Law Institute ($650 K, creator of the Climate Judiciary Project)
  • Community Change ($1.6 M, linked to Free DC protests)
  • Rockefeller Philanthropy Advisors ($108 M)
  • New Venture Fund ($67 M)
  • NRDC ($6.5 M)
  • Tides Center ($8.2 M)

Laudes Foundation: Established in 2020 by the secretive Brenninkmeijer family (C&A clothing empire). Has sent $20 million to 17 U.S. groups promoting ESG disclosure, “climate-friendly diets,” and equity mandates. Largest grants: Pulitzer Center ($3.7 M) for climate-justice reporting, Ceres ($1.7 M), Community Initiatives ($1 M), and World Resources Institute ($2.8 M).

Children’s Investment Fund Foundation (CIFF): Run by British hedge-fund billionaire Sir Christopher Hohn. Sent $553 million to 39 U.S. entities before pledging in late 2025 to halt U.S. funding after APT’s exposure.

Key recipients include:

  • Energy Foundation China ($70 M) — under House investigation for links to former CCP officials
  • Institute for Governance & Sustainable Development ($25 M)
  • Environmental Defense Fund ($17 M)
  • Sunrise Project ($36 M)

ATP points out that these funding flows exploit gaps in U.S. oversight laws, which prohibit foreign election donations but allow influence through 501(c)(3) and 501(c)(4) organizations. Through the nonprofit world, foreign billionaires can conduct foreign influence operations through leftist nonprofits, including funding protest industrial complex against Trump, get-out-the-vote drives, anti-Trump ads, lobbying, and whatever else.

Sutherland said, “There’s not a question about where it’s going and where it is coming from. We know that it’s foreign money coming into our U.S. policy fights, climate litigation, research, protests, lobbying, you name it“.

Joy Reid Fumes over Trump’s White House Ballroom: ‘Raze Every Edifice He’s Built’

Former MSNBC host Joy Reid wants every bit of President Donald Trump’s legacy erased and his home in Florida turned into a leftist museum.

In a Blue Sky post on October 22, Reid was referring to Trump’s White House renovations that include constructing a ballroom.

“I pray that a future president if we still have a democracy will erase every trace of Trump’s existence. Raze every edifice he’s built; strip his name from everything, restore the White House as if he never lived there & turn Mar-a-Lago into a Black, LGBTQ, women’s, AAPI & immigrant history museum,” she wrote.

During an interview with Fox News, White House press secretary Karoline Leavitt addressed Democrats’ apparent frustration with the president’s efforts to renovate the building. She said, “I believe there’s a lot of fake outrage right now, because nearly every single president who has lived in this beautiful White House behind me has made modernizations and renovations of their own.”

Leavitt continued:

So while many presidents have privately dreamt about this, it’s President Trump who is actually doing something about it, and he is the builder-in-chief. In large part, he was re-elected back to this People’s House because he’s good at building things. He has done it his entire life, his entire career, and construction is a process. At the end, the East Wing, which is an entirely separate structure from the Executive Mansion you see behind me, will be more modern and beautiful than ever. And then on top of that, the White House is going to have a Big, Beautiful Ballroom for generations of Americans to come. And the best part of it all, it’s not a dime of the taxpayers’ money. The President has worked hard to privately fund this entire project from start to finish.

FBI Arrests Illinois Man Accused of Making ‘Heinous’ Threats Against Trump

An Illinois man has been charged in federal court with making threats against President Donald Trump, following an investigation led by the FBI and the U.S. Secret Service.

Derek Lopez, 27, was arrested on Oct. 28 without incident in El Paso after FBI agents from the agency’s Springfield office and El Paso police conducted a coordinated traffic stop.

“The driver, identified as Derek Lopez of El Paso, was wanted on a federal warrant for making threats against the President,” the El Paso Police Department said in a statement. “Lopez was apprehended without resistance.”

The suspect was interviewed by FBI and Secret Service agents before being booked into the Woodford County Jail. He faces a federal charge of making threats against the president, a crime punishable by up to five years in prison.

FBI Director Kash Patel called the alleged threats “heinous” and said they would be pursued with the full force of law.

“The threats against President Trump allegedly posted by this individual are heinous and have no place in our society,” Patel said in a post on social media. “Let this be a message: anyone who threatens violence against public officials or any American will be found and brought to justice.”

Letters Confirm Liz Cheney Secretly Worked ‘Hand-In-Hand’ With Jack Smith

Two newly released congressional letters confirm years-long reporting that the anti-Trump Jan. 6 committee had quietly colluded with Special Counsel Jack Smith’s investigation into President Donald Trump. 

The letters, from Rep. Bennie Thompson, D-Miss., and disgraced former Rep. Liz Cheney, R-Wyo., reveal the lawmakers’ rush to hand over evidence before Republicans took control of Congress in 2023. 

In those exchanges, they produced at least 16 interviews, deposition transcripts, exhibits, phone numbers and spreadsheets as part of their investigation into the events of Jan. 6, 2021. 

One letter, dated Dec. 5, 2022, shows Thompson and Cheney informing Smith that while the body was concluding its work, they wanted to make the evidence they gathered “available to the Department of Justice.” 

In that letter, the anti-Trump politicians told Smith he would receive “16 transcripts of interviews and depositions taken by” the committee, including “exhibits associated with those transcripts.” They even promised to facilitate “additional evidence as soon as possible.” 

Just four days later, Thompson and Cheney wrote again to Smith, announcing the production of documents obtained from John Eastman and text messages from Mark Meadows, then Trump’s White House chief of staff. 

“Along with the latter, we are producing a staff-created spreadsheet of the Meadows texts that contain additional information from privilege logs that Mr. Meadows provided to the Select Committee,” they added. 

Even after those documents, they vowed to produce more materials to Smith “on a rolling basis.” 

Now, the never-before-seen letters confirm what many suspected: the controversial committee worked “hand-in-hand” with Smith, the House Judiciary Committee said Tuesday. 

Smith was appointed by Attorney General Merrick Garland to target Trump after the 2020 election. Smith later used those materials to indict Trump, first over a document dispute between Trump and the Biden-led National Archives, and later over his objections to the certification of the 2020 election results. 

The origins of that collusion trace back to the Jan. 6 committee itself, which was created in 2022 by then–Speaker Nancy Pelosi and excluded pro-Trump lawmakers.
