Not that I think it will happen, but, 96 hours from CENTCOM Commander Adm. Cooper's in-person visit to the White House on Oct. 29th would be Nov. 2nd. If planners are counting on the element of surprise, it would be surprising. It would also be bafflingly stupid, which is commonplace for Trump.

Safety Alert: Threat to the Tsaritsyno Museum-Reserve in Moscow (October 31, 2026) The U.S. Embassy in Moscow has learned of a credible threat of an incident that could result in mass casualties TODAY, October 31, on the grounds of the Tsaritsyno Museum-Reserve in Moscow. x.com/usembru/stat...

Nov. 1st: "Speaking to reporters while attending a Halloween party at Mar-a-Lago, Trump said, “We've knocked out their nuclear. We still have to take care of, I would say, one or two sites, but we can do that in ten minutes.”

Mohsen Rezaei. Clearly negotiations are not close yet.

How has literally no other member of Congress mentioned this briefing ???

US House Speaker Mike Johnson: “Let me make a prediction. What's going to happen on Tuesday night? The polls are wrong. We're going to defy history. “We're going to keep the House majority.” With polling that is way beyond the MoE, if that happened there would be deep shenanigans.

I have a suspicion that Tusk was acting preeminently here to get ahead of some narrative or kinetic threat to the Constitutional Tribunal. I think there are similar bulletins for security services across Europe for Nov. 2nd to 8th.

Polish Police refute the claim that a letter issued an order that "suggests the use of officers in a situation related to the Constitutional Tribunal." And that the letter "is related to current threats associated with acts of sabotage and diversion." Which is maybe even more insane??

I don't know what's going on in Poland at this time but I'm guessing it might explain why Trump and associates were so praiseworthy of the country and gangbusters about moving US troops there. PM Tusk has the mandate there and he is the good guy. Don't get that mixed up in all that's unfolding.
