OH NO! ANYWAY: Chicago Rapper’s Career Ended Suddenly By His Armed Victim. “Thanks to a dose of freedom pills, Glizzy — real name: Mekhi Moore — remained at the scene of the crime. A construction worker working on a South Side renovation project took offense at four thugs who threatened to kill him during an attempted robbery. He shot Glizzy repeatedly, leaving the rap star dead right there.”

I KEEP ASKING THIS QUESTION, TOO, BUT THE ANSWER ALWAYS SEEMS TO BE NO: Has Britain Had Enough? “Labour popularity is hitting record lows in polls, but Labour seems to think if they can just brazen it out until the next mandatory parliamentary election, they can import and amnesty enough Muslims to give them a permanent electoral majority.”

ERIC FLORACK: Obama, the Real Deal of Double Standards. “Speaking of Obama and double standards, did you see him in Virginia the other day? Even there, while he was supposed to be campaigning for Abigail Spanberger, he sounded for all the world like he was campaigning for himself instead.”

Dog bites man.

THIS IS THE WAY:

GAME CHANGER: Trump Approves South Korea’s Nuclear Submarine Ambition.

After his summit with South Korean President Lee Jae-myung on the sidelines of the 2025 APEC Summit in Gyeongju, South Korea, U.S. President Donald Trump announced that the United States has authorized South Korea to build nuclear-powered submarines (SSNs). The decision sent ripples across global strategic and non-proliferation circles.

In a social media post on October 29, Trump declared that the South Korea-U.S. alliance “is stronger than ever before and, based on that, I have given them approval to build a Nuclear Powered Submarine.”

In a separate post, he added, “South Korea will be building its Nuclear Powered Submarine in the Philadelphia Shipyards, right here in the good ol’ U.S.A.”

In these posts, Trump reframed one of the most sensitive defense-technology barriers in U.S. alliance policy – and did so in his typically public, unscripted manner.

That’s a big part of what makes these big changes so much fun.

COLONIALISM, STRAIGHT UP:

GUILTY CONSCIENCE: Ex-CIA Director John Brennan explodes as he’s confronted about Hunter Biden’s laptop.

Former CIA Director John Brennan snapped at a man who confronted him for signing the infamous letter in 2020 that claimed the bombshell Hunter Biden email scandal exposed by The Post had “all the classic earmarks of a Russian information operation.”

Brennan, 70, grew visibly incensed and angrily got in the face of the man who pressed about the letter, poking him on the chest repeatedly before backing off.

“You misrepresented that,” Brennan shouted at conservative national security consultant Thomas Speciale during the tense clash.

“We never said it was disinformation; we said it was Russian influence operations, which is what they do. There’s a big difference,” he added.

After Speciale pushed back, the ex-CIA boss waved his hand in frustration and vented, “I’m not going to waste my time with you.”

Speciale, who claimed the confrontation took place last Thursday, posted video of the fiery moment Saturday alongside text of the infamous “spies who lie” letter that Brennan signed.

VOTING WITH THEIR FEET: Nearly a million New Yorkers ready to flee NYC if Mamdani becomes mayor — possibly igniting largest exododus [sic] in history.

Then there’s this from a local: “I know the realtors here in Greenwich have dubbed Mamdani ‘Realtor of the Year.’ On the flip side, buyers in NYC are demanding price cuts — realtors there are calling it the ‘Mamdani discount.’ It really is a bigger flight than during COVID times. I hope it doesn’t finish off our Republican local government once and for all, though.”

Mamdani is lowering prices already!

CORN, POPPED:

Tish James Is Fighting Another DOJ Probe For ‘Selective Enforcement’ Against Trump’s Business, NRA, Unsealed Docs Show.New York Attorney General Letitia James is fighting a federal criminal probe over alleged “selective enforcement” in cases she brought against President Donald Trump’s business and the National Rifle Association (NRA), court documents unsealed Friday reveal.

James’s effort to block subpoenas issued by the Department of Justice (DOJ) touches “on matters of national concern, with implications that stretch well beyond this action,” Judge Lorna Schofield, an Obama appointee, wrote in her order making the filings public Friday.

“Unsealing this action is not only permissible but compelled,” the judge wrote. “One simple fact drives this conclusion: the information at issue is not secret.”

In August 2025, it was widely reported that acting U.S. Attorney for the Northern District of New York John A. Sarcone III issued subpoenas related to James’s civil fraud case against Trump and his company, along with her case against the National Rifle Association (NRA).

If the process is the punishment, that’s a lot more process.

KRUISER’S MORNING BRIEFING: Dems Would Love to Cancel John Fetterman Right About Now. “Something strange began to happen during the Democrats’ disintegration last year. The Senator who began his career with a public mental health break started sounding far more sane than any of his Democratic colleagues. Low bar, true, especially when the guy at the top has lost it. The more Fetterman talked, however, the more he reminded us of an earlier time in American politics.”

ONE CHINA POLICY, BEIJING EDITION: Beijing’s New Approach to Taiwan. “A question remains about whether Beijing’s evolving approach constitutes a change of degree or of kind. Some of the actions taken this year, especially in the legal domain, have relied on instruments that the PRC has created over the past few years for this purpose. Shifts in military posture may similarly have as much to do with the availability of new capabilities coming—or current capabilities meeting capacity limits—than with tactical changes. Possible avenues for political influence, chiefly through the nationalist Kuomintang, similarly are just now becoming clear following the election in October of a new party chair. Whichever the case may be, the general trend of Beijing’s actions is the same: toward greater coercion and a ratcheting up of pressure across all domains.”

THAT WOULD BE NICE: Fetterman urges Dems to stop labelling Republicans as ‘fascists’ and ‘Nazis.’

Pennsylvania Senator John Fetterman is urging Democrats to stop labeling Republicans as “fascists” or “Nazis,” saying such rhetoric unfairly targets the millions of voters who simply hold different political beliefs.

In an interview on Fox News with Lara Trump on her show “My View,” Fetterman said he refuses to use that kind of language because he represents his entire state, not just Democratic voters. He noted that Pennsylvania is perhaps the most “purple” state in the country, and its 13 million residents have a range of views.

“I refuse to call members of the other team as fascists or Nazis,” Fetterman said. “Because if you do, then that implies that, well, the people must be the same too, and that’s absolutely not true.”

“I know and love many of people that voted for the President, and they’re not fascists. They’re not Nazis. They’re not here to destroy our democracy,” he added, explaining that those voters merely hold different values and views on what they believe is the American way of life.

“That’s why I refuse to engage in those things, and that’s why we really have to find a way forward,” Fetterman said.

The only thing newsworthy about this report is that a Democrat senator actually needed to say it.

GOOD RIDDANCE: Michael Mann Finally Goes Away. “Now, it is true that Mann’s suit against us, thanks to dilatory and irresponsible judges, dragged on for an ungodly twelve years and drained us of time and resources. Mann also, shamefully, got judgments against Steyn and Rand Simberg (who posted a critique of Mann that Steyn quoted) from a friendly D.C. jury. A series of legal reverses for Mann since then, though, suggest that this purported victory will wash away under scrutiny from more objective authorities.”
