MADNESS: Georgia's newly elected Insurance Commissioner Keisha Sean Waites, a Democrat, stated in a TV interview her intent to ban credit scores and ZIP codes from insurance risk assessments, arguing they have no relation to calculating premiums Keisha Sean Waites, a Democrat, defeated Republican incumbent John King in the November 3, 2026, Georgia Insurance Commissioner election (roughly 54.3% to 45.7%). Credit-based insurance scores are widely used (where allowed) because they are statistically predictive of future claims. Large studies have found that policyholders in the lowest credit deciles have substantially higher average losses than those in the highest (one analysis of >175,000 policies showed ~65% higher average losses in the bottom 10%).

MADNESS: A man films a homeless person after they yelled the F word and N****r at him but then another guy intervened saying he knows how to deal with her properly. However, things then got heated between all of them. The man filming is named Brandon Farley. Farley has a long history of similar on-the-ground videos from the same neighbourhoods documenting street encampments, open drug use, and confrontations.

🇺🇸NEW: Jakiyra Metcalf, an Ole Miss student, shared Ring doorbell footage on TikTok (Friday) of three women outside her apartment door The video shows the women walking through the outdoor apartment breezeway; viewers and Metcalf describe the audio as monkey noises, which she framed as racist harassment. She tagged the University of Mississippi and asked what the school had to say about it, later identifying the women as her upstairs neighbors/classmates. The case has drawn comparisons to a May 2024 Ole Miss incident during a pro-Palestinian protest, in which a white counter-protester (later identified as James “JP” Staples) made monkey noises and gestures toward a Black graduate student; his fraternity (Phi Delta Theta) expelled him, and the university opened a student-conduct probe.

🇺🇸INSANE: Breakdown of 2026 US midterm results showing how electoral maps change dramatically when voting is limited to one demographic group. What do you notice? The underlying numbers come from AP VoteCast / the 2026 Voter Poll (run by SSRS for the AP, NBC, CNN, Fox, and others). This is the same large-scale voter survey the networks used on election night. Every state is colored according to which party that single group backed in the state’s main 2026 race (Senate race where one existed; otherwise the gubernatorial race).

🇺🇸CRISIS: A small propeller plane making an emergency crash landing on a busy roadway in North Fort Myers, Florida, after experiencing mechanical failure. A 1963 Cessna 172D Skyhawk (N2905U, owned by Edward B. Kear of Bonita Springs) took off from Sebring Regional Airport around 11:01 a.m. on Nov. 7, 2026, bound for Page Field. Pilots reported engine trouble near 11:47 a.m. and landed on Bayshore Road (near I-75, east of Samville Road) about two minutes later. The plane’s tail clipped an eastbound pickup truck; no one was injured. The same plane had a similar engine-related emergency landing on US-98 in Sebring in late August 2026 (three people aboard, no injuries). Sheriff Carmine Marceno called the outcome fortunate given recent aviation tragedies. The FAA is investigating.

EVIL: Jennifer Welch (on behalf of the I’ve Had It podcast) issued a short smug "apology" after the November 5 episode backlash and sponsor pullouts. “On Thursday’s show, I laughed at a joke about Charlie Kirk. It was an insensitive joke, and I should not have laughed. I regret it, and I apologize.” It continued: “Whatever our political differences, there is nothing funny about gun violence.” Sponsors lost so far ChewyCustomer service replies confirming they are no longer affiliated or sponsoring. Boll & BranchMultiple X posts: does not currently advertise and will not in the future. Lola BlanketsCustomer replies: no longer works with the podcast. NOBL TravelPublic statement: “We no longer work with this podcast.

Welch read one that said (in substance) “We’re digging up Charlie Kirk and doing it again.” The two hosts then laughed for roughly 20–30 seconds, at points covering their faces or putting their heads down.

UNREAL: Egyptian Muslim Abdul El-Sayed brags about Michigan being the “capital of Arab America.” “I know we’re here in D.C. which is the capital of the United States of America but Michigan is the capital of Arab America.” Michigan has one of the largest Arab American populations in the country—Census figures often put it around 200–280k+, while Arab American Institute estimates adjust upward toward ~390–400k due to undercounting. Metro Detroit has the highest concentration of Arabic speakers of any U.S. metro area (roughly 190k). Dearborn is the first Arab-majority city in the U.S. (about 54.5% Middle Eastern/North African ancestry in the 2020 Census, with large Lebanese, Yemeni, and Iraqi communities). Nearby cities such as Dearborn Heights and Hamtramck also have very high shares. This demographic reality is why the “capital of Arab America” phrasing is common in local discourse.

🇺🇸🇮🇷REVEALED: Senator John Kennedy reveals the growing threat of Iran and why it was necessary to do something about it. “I’ve seen the intelligence. President Trump was faced with a touch choice” President Trump faced the choice of letting Iran reach that point (where it could threaten the Middle East, Europe, and potentially the U.S.) or acting to stop it. Kennedy frames the U.S. strikes on Iranian nuclear and related military capabilities as preventing a larger war rather than starting one.

INSANE: Nearly 300 people joined a mock funeral procession in Williston, Vermont, organized by the ICE Out Vermont Alliance; clergy and marchers carried cardboard coffins and tombstone signs naming individuals while traveling about 1.25 miles between two local ICE facilities. The sit-in that followed remained peaceful, though some participants received Department of Justice notices for obstructing federal property access; local coverage noted DHS statements emphasizing ICE arrests of people with serious criminal records, including associations with homicides and other offenses in states like New York

🇺🇸DETAILS: U.S. Secret Service officers arrested Venezuelan national Ronny Yordrix Guanipa Chrinos near the White House in the evening after spotting him acting suspiciously in a parked vehicle on Constitution Avenue in Washington, D.C. He told the officers that voices in his head had directed him to travel to the capital to k**l President Trump. A search of the vehicle, which had been reported stolen, recovered an AR-15-style rifle, a Mac 10, a Glock 43X, and dozens of rounds of ammunition. Chrinos illegally entered the United States through Texas in March 2024, was apprehended by Border Patrol, and was later released into the country under the Biden administration. He faces multiple charges, including carrying a rifle outside a home or business, unlawful transportation of firearms, possession of unregistered firearms and ammunition, carrying a pistol without a license, unauthorized use of a motor vehicle, theft, and receiving stolen property. ICE has lodged a detainer, and he remains in the custody of the U.S. Marshals Service.

INSANE: A New Mexico State player in black accidentally laid the ball into their own basket with about 20 seconds left while trailing Southern Utah by 1 point, briefly giving the opponents the lead in this women's NCAA game. Despite the own-basket, the Aggies recovered quickly. Earlier on the same day Northwestern State’s Karma Wynn scored on her own basket against Arkansas. This occurred roughly within an hour of the New Mexico State own-basket play later that afternoon, making it two separate Division I women’s college basketball games with wrong-basket scores on the same day.
