Reminder.  Relax.  The corporate media, writ large, are  front-loading bad news in a coordinated effort to influence polls still open.  Take a walk, do something constructive. Ignore the early MSM messaging, they are constructing narratives – nothing more.  Any election outcome that does not that align with the preferred MSM narrative will be down-played. If there are strong republican election results in the eastern/central time-zones (House, Senate or Governor) those races will not be called, and the results intentionally held back. This is how a specific narrative is framed.

Buried underneath mountains of domestic distractions this week is the story of Brazilian populist Jair Bolsonaro winning the presidential election.  Brazil has been heavily corrupted by communist ideologues for decades; Bolsonaro’s victory is a rebuke to government constraints over liberty, and an actual  thunder-shock to the political system.
The current Brazilian Ambassador to the United States, Sergio Amaral, discusses his perspectives on what President-elect Jair Bolsonaro means to the future of the region.

.
President Bolsonaro will likely be a key ally in the geopolitical battle against Xi Jinping.

Ohio Representative Jim Jordan discusses President Trump’s record with the insufferable Neil “eeyore” Cavuto.
Jim Jordan’s Ohio district is home to one of the largest U.S. manufacturing regions in the country. If there is any representative who understands how MAGAnomics is providing benefits to the heartland middle-class it’s Jim Jordan.

Thankfully, NEC Chairman Larry Kudlow knows the dance with the dragon is well beyond his advanced skill-set.  Kudlow is too earnest to enter the cunning matrix of deception as it pertains to Beijing’s geopolitical strategies, Chairman Xi Jinping and President Trump.
As such Kudlow speaks in distant terms while allowing the ‘killers’, specifically U.S.T.R. Lighthizer, Commerce Secretary Wilbur Ross and President Trump, to engage as planned.

.
Nuance and subtlety is everything in China. Culturally harsh tones are seen as a sign of weakness and considered intensely impolite in public displays between officials; especially amid adversaries. Respect is earned through strength and cunning.
There is no doubt in my mind that President Trump has a very well thought out long-term strategy regarding China. President Trump takes strategic messaging toward the people of china very importantly. President Trump has, very publicly, complimented the friendship he feels toward President Xi Jinping; and praises Chairman Xi for his character, strength and purposeful leadership.  Trump knows how to play their panda/dragon games.

The Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS) releases the October 2018 jobs report and the Ju-Ju bones are jumpin’. A quarter million new jobs created, vastly exceeding all expectations. Every sector increased in jobs:

Ever since candidate Trump announced his intent to run for the presidency in 2015, CTH has mapped out the economic possibilities of applied MAGAnomic policy.  Once you absorb the ramifications within the intentional policy shift from Wall Street (global) to Main Street (America first), every downstream result is essentially common sense.

• Part 1 – Why I support Donald Trump – July 2015
• Part 2 – Why I support Donald Trump – August 2015
• Part 3 – Why I support Donald Trump – September 2015

One of the reasons the professional political class hate Trump is simply because he applies common sense policy built upon the cornerstone of America-first. Decades of pontificating political economic policy are dispatched; and the American economic engine roars.
