“One of the monkeys that escaped last week after a truck overturned on a Mississippi highway was shot and killed early Sunday by a woman who says she feared for the safety of her children. Jessica Bond Ferguson said she was alerted early Sunday by her 16-year-old son who said he thought he had seen a monkey running in the yard outside their home near Heidelberg, Mississippi. She got out of bed, grabbed her firearm and her cellphone and stepped outside where she saw the monkey about 60 feet (18 meters) away. Bond Ferguson said she and other residents had been warned that the escaped monkeys carried diseases so she fired her gun. ‘I did what any other mother would do to protect her children,’ Bond Ferguson, who has five children ranging in age from 4 to 16, told The Associated Press.” (11/03/25)

“The Trump administration has begun detailed planning for a new mission to send U.S. troops and intelligence officers into Mexico to target drug cartels, according to two U.S. officials and two former senior U.S. officials familiar with the effort. The early stages of training for the potential mission, which would include ground operations inside Mexico, has already begun, the two current U.S. officials said. But a deployment to Mexico is not imminent, the two U.S. officials and one of the former U.S. officials said. Discussions about the scope of the mission are ongoing, and a final decision has not been made, the two current U.S. officials said.” (11/03/25)

“Even the most eager defender of the state will have to admit that if it is distinguishable from a mafia, then the difference is not in the manifested behaviors, but in something that happens in the world of pure thought and imagination. That is to say that for anyone who, being in the physical world, did not share the spiritual belief in the validity of the gang’s power, there would still be no material difference. In the first place, some have no spiritual beliefs at all. How can they be made to submit to this? Many more do have spiritual beliefs, and typically their high officials, both clergy and laity, have given strength to the system of confusion and the spiritualization of what is a moment of physical violence.” (11/02/25)

“It’s a challenge when you want to be a major political party and you can’t seem to avoid alienating about 90 percent of 50 percent of the population, but that’s the challenge the Democrats have accepted. People with penises who identify as men, I have some bad news for you. They don’t like you. Not at all. And their solution to this problem – and it’s a serious problem – is to try to convince you, in the least convincing possible way, that they dig you so you’ll shut up and vote as you’re told. But they do not dig you. Not at all. And they deeply resent that the brutal arithmetic of politics requires that they at least try to appeal to dudes who are not femboys, pinkos, pervs, or eunuchs dominated by their evil faux first wives.” (11/03/25)

“Heart-pounding bodycam footage showed a Florida cop take out a knife-wielding madman with a single shot to the head — saving a young boy with his quick action. Footage from just outside Tampa on Sunday afternoon showed Hillsborough County Sheriff’s Deputy Anthony Gonzalez, 25, kick down a bedroom door after hearing a 7-year-old boy pleading for help inside. Gonzales found a man in body armor and a motorcycle helmet holding a knife to the boy’s throat — and the man refused to comply when the deputy raised his gun ordered the man to drop the knife. After several warnings, Gonzalez fired a single shot and dropped the assailant. The suspect was later identified as 27-year-old Mario Camacho, who had been holding a knife to his own younger brother’s throat and choking him out.” (11/03/25)

“Mayoral frontrunner Zohran Mamdani struck a defiant tone in an early morning speech Monday in response to President Donald Trump’s ‘threats’ to block federal funding to New York City if the democratic socialist is elected Tuesday. Mamdani marched across the Brooklyn Bridge to City Hall …. Flanked by supporters, local officials and Attorney General Letitia James, Mamdani promised to fight back against the Trump administration. … Trump told CBS'[s] Norah O’Donnell on ’60 Minutes’ Sunday that if Mamdani wins, it is ‘going to be hard for me, as the president, to give a lot of money to New York.’ … ‘I’m not a fan of Cuomo one way or the other, but if it’s going to be between a bad Democrat and a communist, I’m going to pick that bad Democrat all the time, to be honest with you’ …. Mamdani on Monday referenced Trump’s aforementioned comments as an endorsement of Cuomo.” (11/03/25)

“While New York City is on the cusp of electing a mayor who adores the thoroughly discredited policy of rent control, another American city is poised to blaze a new trail in questionable housing policy. Residents of Duluth, Minnesota, will this week weigh in on Question 1, known locally as Right to Repair. Unlike the more common use of the term, which concerns people repairing property they own, Duluth’s version allows tenants to repair property they do not own, and at their landlord’s expense. In an attempt to address under-repaired dwellings, the law incentivizes over-repair. Much like rent control, it is likely to create more problems than it fixes.” (11/02/25)

“The 34-day government shutdown is less a crisis of governance than a clear demonstration of the federal state’s non-essential nature. The current political theater, however, shows neither of the two major political parties is serious about keeping government in check, and instead are all about power grabs and financially lining their own pockets—literally. Now, we have President Trump calling to ‘scrap the filibuster,’ and while this is often pitched to the sheepish public as a tool to end political stalemates, it has proven to be a strong procedural barrier to the expansion against the ‘tyranny of the majority.’” (11/02/25)
