We break down the shutdown’s blame game, the Pentagon’s hard reset on standards, and why NYC’s mayoral race could reshape the city’s future. We also examine Big Tech’s settlement over censorship, the silence around Christian persecution, and Kamala’s word-salad tour.

• clean CR blocked, partisan optics, Friday resolution likely
• spending steady vs new demands, public fatigue with brinkmanship
• fitness, grooming, merit emphasis, trimming DEI and busywork
• caution on ROE, trainee treatment, and public reprimands
• conditions-based federal help for cities, avoid mission creep
• NYC race framed as vote-against choice, public safety stakes
• Big Tech settlement signals speech suppression costs
• global Christian persecution underreported by mainstream
• Kamala’s messaging mirrors identity vs electability tension
• community standard set for civil, substantive debate

If you haven’t read it yet, Keep Moving, Keep Shooting is book one; Cross to Bear is book two; and Rebellous launches on Veterans Day, November 11
