Captivated Audience,
What's becoming increasingly clear is that the 2026 midterm election cycle will center on affordability.
Late last week, President Trump proposed a compromise on health insurance payments, calling on Republicans to send federal payments that would typically go to insurers under Obamacare (the Affordable Care Act, or ACA) directly to Americans to end the longest-ever government shutdown. https://www.zerohedge.com/personal-finance/trump-urges-gop-redirect-democrat-supported-insurance-funds-directly-american

The core would be a continuing resolution to reopen the government until Jan. 30, 2026
It will reverse the Trump administration's firings of furloughed workers and ensure they receive back pay.
A three-bill spending package known as a 'minibus' that would fund military construction, the VA, the legislative branch, agriculture, and the FDA.
Food stamps (SNAP) will be funded through fiscal year 2026.
The package does not extend expiring pandemic-era Obamacare subsidies, but Democrats have been promised a vote on it after the government reopens...
..Of note, this is essentially what Republicans had offered weeks ago - with Sen. King explaining that the 'length of the shutdown' was the deciding factor. https://www.zerohedge.com/political/shutdown-breakthrough-dems-ready-deal-thune-hopeful-thanksgiving-travel-looms

Kyle Young keeps digging, Charlie Kirk Update and Erika’s Interview - They want us to forget about this and turn our attention to mamdani or some other nonsense
It’s been two months since the assassination of Charlie Kirk. It’s been nearly a month since the last of my 5 posts covering the numerous questions that swirl around his assassination, his wife Erika and her well connected family, as well as the fiduciary questions that have surfaced regarding TPUSA.....Before we get into all of that, let’s consider Erika Kirk’s first public sit-down interview since her husbands assassination. I watched the entire thing so you don’t have to. Jesse Waters interviewed Charlie Kirk numerous times going back to when Candace Owens was still working for Charlie (he interviewed both of them together several times), so it’s not surprising that he was the first to interview Erika...
..Jesse mentioned the other assassination theories that have been swirling around, asking how that made her feel. “When everything happened, my phone died, became a black hole. I just didn’t turn it on for weeks on end. I’ve intentionally isolated myself because I need to guard my heart. And I need to be there for the kids. And I need to be there for Turning Point.”
Referring to Tyler Robinson, she says, “How does someone become so radicalized that they can justify this in their own head?”...
..Some of you may recall that at the memorial service in Phoenix, referring to Tyler Robinson, Erika said, “That man, that young man, I forgive him”...
..I want to say that she shed very real tears throughout much of this interview. However, and I mean no disrespect to Erika, my take-away from the interview is that she has been compartmentalized. The reason why I say that is because I don’t think she knows she’s been compartmentalized. Her comments make it sound like she’s been fed a steady stream of information from sources she thinks are trustworthy. The reality is, those sources may not have her best interests at heart. When she says she “trusts the team”, we’re left to assume she means Kash Patel and the greater investigative team...
..As myself and numerous other researchers have pointed out in the days, weeks and months since the shooting, there are glaring omissions and gaping holes in the “evidence” presented by Erika’s “team”. As she admits in this interview, she’s kept her cellphone off “for weeks on end”...
..A player in all of this that I’ve not yet covered is Rob McCoy, the former pastor (retired) of the Godspeak Calvary Chapel in Thousand Oaks, California. Prior to Kirk’s Assassination, Rob McCoy had already become involved in the political branch of Turning Point USA (TPUSA), TP Faith...
..A little backstory about Pastor McCoy is critical here. Seed money to start his church in Thousand Oaks came from the Wilkes brothers of Texas who made billions fracking for oil and gas. Voy Wilks is the founder of The Church of Yaweh, a Jews for Jesus church that follows Old Testament teachings. The Wilkes brothers also provided initial funding for Ben Shapiro’s Israel-first online network, The Daily Wire, as well as for PragerU, another pseudo conservative, Israel-first platform. Merissa Streit, PragerU’s CEO, is a former Israeli intelligence officer. Keep in mind this Zionist web of connections as we go along here.
Somehow, on a pastors salary, Rob McCoy was able to sell his home in Thousand Oaks, buy a new home in Phoenix as well as a new home in Coronado (near San Diego), and another home in Thousand Oaks. Apparently the home in Coronado was put up for sale in August of this year.
In January of 2023 Rob McCoy guided the first ever TPUSA Pastors Tour of Jerusalem. Of course, to serve as a guide, one has to have intimate knowledge of the place being toured. Clearly, Rob McCoy has a long history with Israel.
Pastor Rob McCoys’ 24 year old son Mikey McCoy is the Chief of Staff at TPUSA. He was to Charlie Kirk’s left, just outside the canopy, when Charlie was killed. As I pointed out in an earlier post, when Charlie was shot, Mikey McCoy’s reaction, unlike everyone else, was not to duck for fear of more bullets, nor was it to rush to Charlies aid. No, his reaction was to instantly put his phone to his ear, turn, and calmly walk away.
While speaking to his congregation Pastor McCoy detailed events of his sons involvement at Kirk’s shooting, claiming that his son was a hero and that “he was covered in Charlies blood”. Apparently the pastor didn’t know there was video of his sons real actions. He did nothing heroic and was never near Charlies blood. ‘Pastor’ McCoy was caught blatantly lying.
Whistle blowers at TPUSA have been privately telling Candace that for some time Mikey McCoy was being set up to take over Charlies position at TPUSA. Mikeys dad, Pastor McCoy, has been using all of his cachet to help this along...
..At this point it’s important to keep track of the timeline of events. Somehow, on a pastors salary, Rob McCoy was able to sell his home in Thousand Oaks, buy a new home in Phoenix as well as a new home in Coronado (near San Diego), and another home in Thousand Oaks. Apparently the home in Coronado was put up for sale in August of this year.

It was on July 11 of this year that Tucker Carlson gave his now famous speech at a TPUSA event in Tampa, Florida where he connected Epstein to Israel and said that people who serve in foreign military should be stripped of citizenship (referring to a number of influential US citizens that have served in the IDF) and questioned where the Israel-first billionaire Bill Ackman, a big donor to TPUSA, got all of his money. To this day Zionists still go berserk over this speech...
..Because UVU may be the best place in the world to pull off an assassination of this type, I wanted know how UVU got booked as the first stop of this new tour.
Apparently some folks at a Fox news affiliate in Utah, which has been doing some independent research into Kirk’s assassination, were wondering the same thing. They recently answered that question: It was the TPUSA chapter at UVU that requested Charlie Kirk come to UVU. The Fox 13 Utah affiliate got a copy of that request. The request was submitted in mid July of this year, which would put it about a week after Tucker Carlson’s speech...
..Several people have done Google IP searches on; Tyler Robinson, the head medical examiner for the state of Utah, George Zinn (the older man who yelled “I shot him, I shot him”), Timpanogos Regional Hospital where Kirk was taken, the surgeons at that hospital, the Mauser 98 and several other key aspects of the case. In every instance, going back to around July of this year and leading up to the days before the shooting, a Google search of source IP addresses for these aspects of the case can be found clustered in Israel and Washington DC. If I didn’t know better I’d say it seems as if Tucker’s comments set off a series of events in Israel and Zionist DC that ended in Charlies death...
Candace then got another tip from a foreigner saying they knew about the plane and that it had left Egypt with 18 people and came back with only 12.
Then she learned that there was a second Egyptian plane that typically comes in a little later and stays a little longer at each of Charlies events...
..The take away from all of this is, we still don’t know who killed Charlie Kirk, but a lot of signs are beginning to point in specific directions.
One last thought. Because Charlie Kirk had become suspect about the financial dealings of TPUSA, he had requested a never before completed doge type investigative audit of all aspects of the organization. Then he was killed. The audit was dropped.
The picture now emerging is that there are a lot of questions, not only about where all the hundreds of millions are going, but where they’re coming from. https://secularheretic.substack.com/p/charlie-kirk-update-and-erikas-interview

The request was submitted in mid July of this year, which would put it about a week after Tucker Carlson’s speech...
..Of course this casts a huge shadow over who was behind the request coming from the UVU chapter of TPUSA, a chapter that may very well be infiltrated by the spooks who teach intelligence courses at UVU.
It also casts a dark shadow over whoever it was at TPUSA headquarters in Phoenix that accepted that invitation and booked the event. As Candace Owens pointed out, (she’s been a part of numerous TPUSA campus events since Kirk’s early days), these events are always booked the semester before. She wants to know who pushed UVU to the head of the line in record time...

..Candace received a tip on her hotline that an Egyptian military plane was in Provo at the time of Charlies death. Someone else pointed out that the same plane had been there the previous time Charlie was at UVU. Candace looked into Flight Radar 24, (which I’ve used here before to track geoengineering planes) and learned that this plane has been at a nearby airport or military base for nearly every Charlie Kirk event going back to 2022. Candace then got another tip from a foreigner saying they knew about the plane and that it had left Egypt with 18 people and came back with only 12.

Russia appears to me to be making decisive moves to finish off the Ukraine war this winter/spring, finally destroying the high-voltage electrical transmission lines, which they had spared before, with the largest ever missile attack, and plunging most of the country, including Kiev into darkness, dysfunction, and electric trolley electrical fires. "Go west, Ukrainian civilians!"
All along the line of contact Russians are advancing, without pauses to consolidate gains, just advancing from each town taken.
A few days ago the Urainian General-Staff Chief and Zelensky had a jont TV announcement, where they did not agree. The General said that military decisions (Pokrovsk) would be handled by the military and announced afterward. Zelensky said that western arms would be cut if the US/EU/NATO were not impressed, but he did not appear to prevail. This seems to mean that Ukrainian Generals will negotiate with Russian generals for the thousands of Ukrainian soldiers surrounded without hope in Pokrovsk and Kupyansk cities. Pokrovsk seems to be quiet for a day now, likely reflecting such negotiations in progress.
When generals are negotiating directly with generals, all of whom understand what is really taking place, there is hope for some rational settlement without politicians, who are isolated far from the slaughter.

US readies EIAMD integrated defense shield to block Chinese missile strikes on Guam’s critical power projection assets
The EIAMD is built to serve as a multi-layered air defense system. Plans for better fortifying Guam have been ongoing since at least August 2022, when the US Missile Defense Agency’s (MDA) top leadership provided details of upgrades to protect the island’s forward assets.
Under the plan, Guam will be covered by a 360-layered EIAMD, with 16 locations on the island used for various batteries and interceptors. Both the US Army and MDA were awarded the contract to develop and deploy the US$8 billion EIAMD to Guam. https://asiatimes.com/2025/11/us-china-war-will-come-down-to-protecting-or-destroying-guam/

In mid-2025, the United States enacted the GENIUS Act, the first comprehensive legal framework for stablecoins — privately issued, fully backed digital dollars that move instantly across open blockchain networks rather than through the regulated banking system. The law gave official legitimacy to an already booming industry, but its deeper consequence reaches far beyond cryptocurrency. It has turned stablecoin issuers into a new and dependable class of buyers of US government debt...
..As this pool of “off-bank” dollars grows, the Fed’s traditional levers lose precision. Creating more reserves at the central bank no longer guarantees more credit when individuals and businesses can hold or move digital dollars independently. Raising interest rates may cool activity in traditional banks but not in the global digital-dollar economy that now runs on its own infrastructure.
This doesn’t erase the Fed’s influence entirely — it still sets the yields on Treasuries, which determine how profitable stablecoins are to issue — but it transforms policy from direct control to indirect coordination with markets. The Fed becomes one actor among many in an open monetary ecosystem it no longer fully commands...
