https://www.thegatewaypundit.com/2025/11/new-president-trump-delivers-savage-reponse-as-nancy/

The GOP will not have former House Speaker Nancy Pelosi to kick around anymore, but that is not stopping President Trump from getting in the last word.

As expected, Pelosi announced this morning that she would retire from Congress and not seek re-election in 2026.

“I have truly loved serving as your voice in Congress, and I have always honored the song of St. Francis, ‘Lord make an instrument of thy peace,’ the anthem of our city. That is why I want you, my fellow San Franciscans, to be the first to know. I will not be seeking reelection to Congress,” Pelosi said. Continue…

France's Plans To Deploy Troops To Ukraine Risk Sparking A Major Crisis

https://www.zerohedge.com/geopolitical/frances-plans-deploy-troops-ukraine-risk-sparking-major-crisis

Russia’s Foreign Intelligence Service (SVR) reported that France is plotting to deploy up to 2,000 soldiers, the core of which will be Latino assault troops from the Foreign Legion who are presently undergoing intensive training in Poland, to Central Ukraine in the near future.

This follows Chief of Staff of the French Army Pierre Schill declaring that his country will be ready to deploy troops to Ukraine next year as part of “security guarantees”.

Putin earlier warned that any foreign troops there would be legitimate targets.

Nevertheless, SVR reported in late September that “the first group of career military personnel from France and the United Kingdom has already arrived in Odessa”, yet no crisis followed. The reason might be that neither of them confirmed their forces’ presence there, perhaps for escalation-management purposes, so they and Russia aren’t (yet?) making a big deal about any potential casualties. Up to 2,000 conventional troops, however, would be impossible to hide and thus represent a major escalation. Continue…

Deeply-Divided Bank Of England Leaves Rates Unchanged, Warns Of "AI Bubble"

https://www.zerohedge.com/markets/deeply-divided-bank-england-leaves-rates-unchanged-warns-ai-bubble

The Bank of England kept its key interest rate at 4.0% this morning, opting against a cut (as the market expected) ahead of the UK government's annual budget this month (which is expected to feature tax hikes).

"We still think rates are on a gradual path downwards, but we need to be sure that inflation is on track to return to our two-percent target before we cut them again," BoE governor Andrew Bailey said in a statement following the widely-expected decision.

The decision was very tight as policymakers including Bailey voted 5-4 to maintain the rate.

Four members of the Monetary Policy Committee (MPC) called for a cut to 3.75 percent. Continue…

Diageo Lowers Outlook On Dismal Drinking Demand As Shares Hit Decade Low

https://www.zerohedge.com/markets/diageo-lowers-outlook-dismal-drinking-demand-shares-hit-decade-low

British spirits giant Diageo Plc, one of the world's largest drink makers, tumbled to a 10-year low on Thursday after lowered guidance overshadowed better-than-expected first-quarter sales. Wall Street analysts noted mounting frustration over the lack of detail regarding the company's search for a new chief executive.

The maker of Don Julio, Johnnie Walker, Casamigos, Smirnoff, and many other popular bar beverages now expect organic net sales to be flat to slightly lower, compared to prior guidance for growth. This dismal outlook overshadowed stronger-than-expected first-quarter sales. Continue…

Suez Canal cargo traffic surges

The recent Gaza peace summit has led to renewed shipping confidence, local authorities have said

Traffic through Egypt’s Suez Canal has surged by more than 10% in recent months amid improving regional stability, local authorities said on Tuesday.

Admiral Ossama Rabiee, chairman of the Suez Canal Authority (SCA), announced that between July and October, a total of 4,405 vessels passed through the canal, carrying 185 million tons of cargo – up from 4,332 ships and 167.6 million tons in the same period last year.

He said 229 vessels resumed transit in October alone, marking the highest monthly figure since the Red Sea crisis began following the onset of the war in Gaza.

“The Sharm El-Sheikh Peace Summit had a positive impact on calming the situation in the region and the return of many ships to cross the Suez Canal again,” the Egyptian Cabinet Presidency reported on Facebook. Continue…

Canadian government moves forward with digital ID

https://www.rebelnews.com/canadian_government_moves_forward_with_digital_id

It’s a slippery slope toward total control, especially as U.S. lawmakers warn that the kind of digital authoritarianism once confined to dictatorships is now spreading across the globe.

Canada’s Liberal government is moving full steam ahead with a centralized digital identification system for federal benefits claimants, including Employment Insurance and Old Age Security.

A recent budget note confirms cabinet’s green light for amendments to the Department of Employment and Social Development Act, promising “more integrated and efficient services across government,” Blacklock’s reports.

This is being sold to Canadians as ‘convenient’ and ‘efficient’ with no legal details provided.

“Modernizing legislative authorities to support information sharing and digital services would particularly benefit groups facing barriers due to outdated, paper-based processes, particularly seniors,” said the note.

Funding for The Benefits Delivery Modernization (BDM) Programme was first approved in 2017, with preliminary estimates earmarking the program at $1.75 billion.

While it may seem innovative, these policies often call for the invasive collection of biometric markers, location data, banking information, and vaccination records, laying the groundwork for a surveillance state.

The Department of Employment admits the project is so convoluted that it required hiring external consultants last spring at an undisclosed taxpayer cost.

A 2024 report from the Auditor General found that “it was unclear whether the development of a national approach for validating a person’s identity digitally would proceed and whether the transition to a new federal sign-in system would be funded without presenting an unmanageable financial burden on departments.”

While the government swears digital ID is voluntary, history shows “optional” quickly becomes obligatory when convenience is dangled and alternatives are made cumbersome. Continue…
