Mike Steger, 12 November 2026



Mike Steger examines the growing conflict between President Trump and Rupert Murdoch's Wall Street Journal over tariffs, American manufacturing, and the future of the Republican Party. He argues that Murdoch's opposition to Trump's economic policies represents a broader effort by Wall Street and the City of London to undermine the America First movement and restore the global financial system Trump is challenging.

Mike explores the history of Alexander Hamilton's American System, including protective tariffs, national credit, and investment in American industry. From Hamilton's battle with Aaron Burr and Wall Street to Abraham Lincoln's transcontinental railroad and Franklin Roosevelt's major infrastructure projects, he examines how American economic development has historically depended on strong national leadership and industrial investment.

Looking ahead to the 2028 presidential election, Mike discusses Vice President JD Vance, Stephen Miller's role in the Trump administration, and the battle over presidential executive power. He argues that Trump's strategy must go beyond tariffs to deliver tangible economic improvements through manufacturing, energy production, infrastructure, and new opportunities for younger Americans.

Senate to Adjourn & No Recess

… American history who has not been allowed to make recess appointments?

Richard Nixon: 41
Gerald Ford: 8
Ronald Reagan: 232
George H.W. Bush: 78
George W. Bush: 171
Donald Trump: 0

Thune and Senate Republican leadership are colluding with Democrats to stop President Trump's agenda. That's the only plausible reason for the Majority Leader's behavior. The man's integrity has now been called into question.

Secretary Bessent on Nvidia

Forcing Jensen Huang out won’t help. The U.S. Treasury Secretary has made it clear that Nvidia cannot escape responsibility.

In an interview with the U.S. financial news channel CNBC, U.S. Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent steered the conversation away from the controversy surrounding Jensen Huang personally. According to him, attention had been focused on Huang’s personal issues, when the real question was whether Nvidia knew who its customers were when it sold them chips.

Put plainly, he was asking whether Nvidia had taken risk controls seriously and stopped chips from being diverted abroad, or whether it was selling to “shell companies acting as middlemen” that were obvious to anyone with eyes.

The sums involved here are anything but small. According to reports, a company called Megaspeed has spent more than $4 billion in total, putting it among Nvidia’s largest customers for AI chips. Outsiders had already been questioning whether those chips were being transshipped to the Chinese Communist Party’s China. When it comes to chips, we cannot give the Chinese Communist Party an inch.

If customers were simply deliberately concealing their identities, the company might still be able to call it a lapse in due diligence. But a phone call reported by Bloomberg this week made the situation much harder to explain.

The report said Nvidia’s general counsel had called the U.S. Commerce Department to inquire about the detention of Megaspeed executive Alice Wong in Singapore or Malaysia, asking whether the U.S. government was behind it.

That raised a more pointed question: If it turns out that someone inside Nvidia knew the other party was a shell company, or never bothered to investigate properly, what consequences will the company face?

Bessent did not speculate about specific penalties in advance, but he did draw a line around personal responsibility.
He said it was not yet clear whether Jensen Huang himself knew about this.
But when it came to the legal department, he said the general counsel appeared to be deeply involved in the matter. That person should have been putting effort into proper internal compliance oversight, not spending time pestering the U.S. Commerce Department.

As for the company, if it did indeed supply shell companies, that would mean Nvidia lacked solid risk controls at the time, and anyone involved should be held accountable.

Interestingly, Bessent did not write Nvidia off entirely.
He still praised it as an outstanding company, citing Apple as an example: after founder Steve Jobs left, Tim Cook still took Apple to new heights.
The message was clear.
He believed Nvidia’s now-alerted board would conduct a thorough investigation and that simply pushing out the founder would not make the whole matter go away.

For Nvidia’s board, forcing Huang out might temporarily put the controversy over him behind it. But who exactly received those $4 billion worth of chips, and why the general counsel went looking for information on behalf of a customer’s executive, are questions that cannot be swept under the rug by replacing one person.

Secretary Bessent on His Move

… rightfully LABELING it “highly irresponsible and dangerous.”

“F the Iranian leadership. I'm not going to be coward that they have initiated death threats against me, the other members of the Cabinet, we're not going to be coward. And it means what we are doing with Operation Economic Outcast is working. And, you know, what—why am I going to be afraid when our—the brave military personnel in the Gulf, President Trump—constantly receives death threats? And, you know, what we are doing is working. And the IRGC, they're like a dangerous cornered animal.”

“So I follow the Secret Service instructions and have moved from my home to a military base. And what I will tell you, Joe, I do want to say that one of the reasons I've had to move is because the Wall Street Journal printed a photo of my house the day I bought it. It has geolocate on it. And in a highly irresponsible way, the editor, we pleaded with her not to print the location of my house, but she did anyway. Highly irresponsible and dangerous. And things like that have to stop, too.

The CIA Just Released a Document That Contradicts the CIA—Their Own File on Venezuela & Smartmatic

…It said Chávez wanted to stop a sitting American president. It described a 2012 Venezuela rigging plan: targeted machines, a set margin, built to beat an audit. The CIA’s source reported Chavez “congratulated” the team for rigging the election with the previously set margin. Then the CIA wrote “no large-scale fraud” next to it.

Eleven years later, Smartmatic showed up in the U.S. to build L.A. County’s system for $282M — America’s largest election jurisdiction — just in time for the 2020 election. Now its executives are federally charged with bribery and money laundering on that contract.

And we are the conspiracy theorists?? 🫨🤯

This explains a lot. Anyone who is interested in Election Integrity should read this.

I've known this for years. And it matches the whistleblower testimony I received as well. This is one of the reasons I've been so adamant that we must get rid of electronic voting machines.

This is TRIVIAL for them to have accomplished. Either with SAES Utility to impersonate a real tabulator identity in order to inject votes into the system, and of course duplicate any existing system as a VM (creating a 'CLONE'), and that system can substitute results that look like they came from the original system and there would be no traditional way to determine otherwise).

Another very similar concept is to create a voting system that uses multiple databases for different functions, allowing duplicate databases to be created with different information in them, then easilly swapped in and out with a 'pointer'. This is what Dominion Voting System does, and why there are numerous AdjudicableBallotStore and TabulationStore databases for the same elections. (Yes I know exactly where their pointer is! I found it in 2021).

This is precisely what Mesa Report 3 documents. Same voting system, same election, multiple databases, different votes between them.

The reason why I'm blocked everywhere in DC (and why Media Matters targeted me is because I KNOW HOW THEY DO IT! And not only do I know how they do it, I know all the other ways they can do it, regardless of the voting system.

Gosh if I were a bad guy, the voting system vendors would be paying me huge bucks to help them hide what they do even better.

Knowing what I know does make one appreciate the intelligence of people like Eric Coomer and Heider Garcia. And I know exactly why they are/were/lol employed by the vendors to begin with. Heck, Heider recently took a VP position at Hart InterCivic! (of course after our FEDERAL EAC hired him as a consultant).

And yes, this again is why the Media Matters attack.

I KNOW IT ALL. And yes, I even have the (now deleted) Smartmatic source code that I examined years ago. Is this why nobody wants to play? lol.

So when someone with actual authority to fix this wants to know what I know, by all means they should feel free to reach out.

Until then, anyone that allows even one more election to run on this IRREDEEMABLY COMPROMISED election system is either a criminal or a fool.

I'm happy to drecord a video about this particular topic of electronic substitution works (whether by database, software utility impersonation, or VM). Would anyone find that of value? Heck if anyone in media would like me to go over this all for your guests, I'm happy to do that too. The more that know, the better.

CAIR–Muslim Brotherhood–Hamas Pipeline

… question:
🇺🇸 Why hasn't the U.S. designated the Muslim Brotherhood as a Foreign Terrorist Organization? Seems obvious, right?

Here’s my answer 👇

If the Muslim Brotherhood is formally labeled a terror group...

➡️ Then CAIR, founded by leaders from the Brotherhood's U.S. network, gets implicated too.

And if CAIR gets implicated…

➡️ Then so do a lot of politicians.

📍And that’s the line no one in D.C. wants to cross.

So instead, the Brotherhood stays "undesignated."
CAIR keeps the civil rights label and keeps its tax advantaged nonprofit status. And the public is left in the dark.
