For one solid month, the U.S. Government has been — formally — “Shut Down.” I doubt if many thought this would ever happen again. And, certainly, not many thought it would last a month-plus. But it has. And it continues.
We will have a story or two in our Bullet Points today. Let’s hope we won’t have any in next week’s Bullet Points!
Believe it or not, there are many other big stories from the week. Let’s take a look at those we’ve chosen to print here. This is a chance to make sure you didn’t miss any of the most important happenings this week. Let’s get started!
Bullet Points
- The saddest part of the Schumer Shutdown is that Americans find themselves in the bullseye of its fallout — principally those individuals and families who rely on government assistance for basic needs, like food, clothing, and medical help. At the same time, some federal workers have stayed on the job. Why? Because their work is of such a nature that their job tasks are of national importance for safety and other matters. I’m certain you have heard that millions of dollars mysteriously appeared over the past month to pay for (or partially pay for) essentials these Americans need to get by. Do you wonder where a large amount of those dollars comes from? Though some of the funds are directed from specific federal accounts earmarked for use only during national emergencies like hurricanes, floods, massive fires, and other events. However, some of that money has been donated by Americans who want to help and expect nothing in return. We found one such person who has quietly assisted and has remained quiet — until now!

- House Speaker Mike Johnson (R-LA) has meticulously monitored every detail of this horrendous process, which is harshly and unexpectedly impacting tens of millions of Americans. When it comes to placing blame for the so-called “perpetrators” of this shutdown, the opinions of most Americans about who is chiefly responsible were equally pointed at Democrats and/or Republicans at the beginning of this. Speaker Johnson has incessantly appeared numerous times daily in national media interviews in which he gives the readers, listeners, and watchers detailed proof that Democrats are fundamentally responsible. Though two federal judges have ordered the government to open the “bank” and release the necessary dollars to pay for the basics for needy Americans, the process to do so is NOT instantaneous. Johnson knows that to open the government will require both houses of Congress to show up in the House and Senate chambers to craft the legal documents. Johnson refuses to fold to his political foes in efforts to push Democrats to accept the Continuing Resolution passed by the House in September. That would fix this issue. Democrats are demanding that the GOP benignly give in to the Democrats and give them the $1.5 trillion of new money for their whims they are demanding. For complete details, click on this link:
- An underhanded method to force Republicans to give in to Democrats involves Democrats “spiking” their media lapdogs to publish so-called “accurate” polling results that show the American people are placing blame for this shutdown on Republicans. One conservative news outlet that is not “for sale” to any political party — The Blaze — conducted polls and spoke with numerous experts qualified to weigh in on the details of this debacle, including who the American people hold responsible for this charade. Their findings may not be what many think is the culprit. Who could that be? For complete details, click on this link:
- Do you remember the riots of 2022 and the millions of dollars collected by Black Lives Matter following the death of George Floyd? Most Americans were very suspicious about how those so-called “charity dollars” were spent by BLM. Guess what: the Department of Justice has formally opened an investigation into the matter in light of the discoveries of millions of dollars spent by BLM leaders on lavish luxuries, including a multimillion-dollar home.
- The annual Halloween festivities have always been a joyous time for children to don costumes and go door-to-door “trick-or-treating” for candy. However, in recent years, with all of the craziness that happens daily — especially after the sunsets — parents and law enforcement have increasingly focused on the illegal activities that have created chaos and attacks by individuals and groups who take advantage of the most innocent in our nation. We have learned FBI Director Kash Patel stated that multiple “subjects” in a potential Halloween terror plot in Michigan have been arrested. Though this investigation by the FBI is ongoing, some details are available now. For those facts, click on this link:
- On this Halloween night, House Speaker Mike Johnson (R-LA) has gone crazy! That happened after learning Democrats actually sued the USDA for asking how many Illegal Aliens are on welfare! “We are trying to get the government to work more efficiently and effectively for the people, and we are getting stopped and hindered by political games by Democrats. That’s why we’re so frustrated.” Johnson noted that if Democrats would quit trying to play politics and, instead, simply open the government, let everyone go back to work, and sit down with Republicans to negotiate a legitimate answer to complete the Continuing Resolution, to complete our budget!

- It has been revealed that a far-left radical group is planning to “occupy” Washington, D.C. on November 5th. This radical group, Refuse Fascism, is poised to engage in some pretty fascist behaviors in their efforts to undermine democracy and interfere with the operations of the government. They have stated they are planning an insurrection on November 5 in and around Washington, D.C., in an effort to remove President Trump from office. That’s exactly what the nation needs right now!

- The American people have been introduced to new and ever-changing “truths” about environmental issues impacting Americans’ daily lives over the last 30 years. In short, “Americans are destroying the safety of our environment that exists in nature that we are destroying! Do you remember: first, it was a pending Ice Age. Then, when our temperatures didn’t fall through the floor, another environmental genius sold the World on “Global Warming.” Uh Oh! Our temperatures began to fluctuate a bit, but never increased overall. Experts like former Vice President Al Gore and billionaire Bill Gates found a way to use one lone catch-all they could easily continue sowing fear among us earthlings: “Climate Change.” We Americans spent more than $1 trillion to take the necessary steps to stop Climate Change. What will they come up with next? Glenn Beck busted Gates for his new environmental Holocaust!
- Former President Ronald Reagan was not just a good speaker; he was an Orator. In my lifetime, I do not remember any president who could speak so easily to Americans about the most important issues of the day. Reagan never failed to share his thoughts on the challenges facing the U.S. with all Americans. We’ll end today’s Bullet Points with this speech from President Regan in which he explained the false allegations of politicians about their political opponents and what would happen if Americans did NOT take control of the governing of the United States.
