President Trump has opted to skip the Johannesburg G20 Summit and further chose not to send a U.S. delegation to the annual meeting of the 20 leading economies, effectively enforcing a boycott of the South African nation.

The President's job approval rating, according to Reuters featured in The New York Times for the period ending November 22, 2025, of those polled who approve of his effectiveness as President remained constant at 40% and those who disapprove of his effectiveness as president increased by 1% to 58%. A slight 3% of the population polled have no opinion. Ratings are calculated weekly.

Trump Boycotts G-20 Meet

President Donald Trump has decided to boycott the Johannesburg G20, the first summit held in the South African nation, over allegations the Afrikaner nation aggressively mistreats white South Africans, and has also chosen not to include a U.S. delegation at the annual economic summit.

The African Union, (AU), similar to the European Union, is comprised of every nation on the African continent, increasing its economic standing and paving the way for the AU to become one of the 20 leading global economies. Although apartheid was dissolved in 1994, the AU, which is comprised of primarily individuals of African descent, is said to discriminate against the white minority.

South African President Cyril Ramaphosa, "Ahead of the G-20 leaders' summit […] tasked a committee of experts to present a report on the state of economic inequality around the world. Its findings were grim: A quarter of humanity (some 2.3 billion people) face moderate or severe food insecurity, compared with 335 million in 2019; gaps in wealth have accelerated over the past quarter century, with 90 percent of the world's population living in societies shaped by high economic inequality, The Washington Post reported. The 69-page report is set to unveiled at this weeks summit.

The state of the state summit, which includes two days of talks, bi-laterals, and sidebar discussions, has already initiated action, unanimously adapting a 122 point resolution covering multiple topics including food insecurity, climate change, alternative energy options, and efforts to reduce state debt.

The next G-20 will be held in Washington, DC, and the Trump administration has announced there will be a representative to participate in the handover ceremony.

Marjorie Taylor Greene Resigns from House

House Representative Marjorie Taylor Green (R-GA) has announced she will resign from congress effective January 5, 2026, one year into her two year term.

The polarizing MAGA supporter and one time staunch ally of President Trump, has fallen out of favor with the president, who actively targeted her as she pressed her colleagues to release the Epstein tapes. She reported she had been receiving death threats.

"She and Trump had been on opposite sides for weeks on issues including foreign policy and health insurance subsidies. A major rift broke on Nov. 14 as she pushed to force the House to vote on requiring the Justice Department to release more files on the late convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein. Late last week, the president called Greene a "traitor" and said he would endorse a challenger against her in the 2026 midterms," The Washington Post reported.

A special election will be held to fill the remainder of her term.

House Votes on Epstein Files

In an overwhelming, although not unanimous vote, members of congress voted to pass legislation which would force the release of all the files in connection with Jeffrey Epstein, the convicted sex offender, who successfully operated the most exclusive sex trafficking operation in modern history, catering to the elite, in which he would wield his power to leverage those who repeatedly raped and sexually assaulted the under age victims.

Speaker of the House Mike Johnson (R-LA), in a stall tactic, had attempted to secure support from his party to slow the vote, and approached House Majority Leader, John Thune (R-SD) to rewrite portions of the legislation, however Thune replied with a house vote of 427-to-1, and a president who has agreed to sign the bill, I can't see any reason why it should be amended," sources said.

"As it became increasingly clear he could lose the House vote, Trump reversed course Sunday, urging Republicans in a social media post to support the bill, which would compel officials at the Justice Department to release all unclassified records, documents, communications and investigative materials relating to the investigation and prosecution of Epstein in its possession. Trump said Monday that he would sign the bill if it reaches his desk," The Washington Post reported.

The fall out from Jeffrey Epstein continues, as former Treasury Secretary Larry Summers, who served during the Clinton Administration, and was once the president of Harvard University, and also on the OpenAI board, has been mentioned in released documents.

The documents show the former Treasury Secretary had repeated contact with the convicted sex offender, both before and after his conviction, and over an extended period of time, as Epstein, appears in some documents to be grooming Summers, casually asking about his romantic interests and helping him attract females.

Other men, the public are aware will be mentioned include President Trump, as many pictures of the two have accompanied the full disclosure campaign, and even as Epstein, stated, in double speak, that Trump was "the only dog that hasn't barked."

Virginia Giuffre, who committed allegedly committed suicide earlier this year, used pseudonyms as she described the men involved in the sex crimes. Her ghost writer, name, is alleged to have all the names.

Epstein was a master at grooming, both his elite clientele and his victims, knowing which skills et to use to coax each, slowly, into his unescapable web.  He allegedly committed suicide in a Manhattan jail awaiting trial.

House Votes to Block Socialism

In a surprise move, the House of Representatives brought to the floor a measure to condemn socialism, especially in the wake of the election of New York City Mayor Zohran Mamdani, and more surprising is that the measure was overwhelming approved with 86 democrats joining republicans condemning socialism.

"The resolution, introduced by Rep. Maria Salazar, R-Fla., highlights a list of the economic system's failures and serves as a rebuke of political forces inching toward more socialist platforms. Resolved by the House of Representatives that Congress denounces socialism in all its forms and opposes the implementation of socialist policies in the United States, the text read" FoxNews.com reported.

Coronavirus Total

At the order of the President of the United States, the U.S. no longer recognizes the value of The World Health Organization. The CDC has recommended every person from age six months, including senior citizens should receive at least one shot of an updated COVID-19 vaccine, annually.  The death toll from Covid-19 has dramatically decreased, as has transmission of the virus. Even as confirmed new cases continue each week, fewer are dying from the newer variants.

For the seven days ending November 22, 2025, the total number of confirmed coronavirus cases reported by the World Health Organization increased by 14,491 to 778,900,250. The total worldwide death toll increased by 68 to 7,103,253 deaths. The United States has stopped providing Covid data to the World Health Organization. (Data updated November 2, 2025, from the World Health Organization).

Medical Science: Unveiling the Mysteries of the Human Mind

President John F. Kennedy and The Hoover Theory

Sixty-two years ago, in Dallas, Texas, President John F. Kennedy, was shot and killed, as he, along with First Lady Jacqueline Kennedy, Texas Governor John Connally and his wife, Nellie, were riding in a motorcade through Dealey Plaza.

The mystery surrounding the president's assassination has traveled unabated through time, and even though the American people were presented with findings from an official investigation, The Warren Commission, Kennedy's death has continued to inspire conspiracy theories of government involvement. In a poll conducted in 2023, a majority of the population, 65% believed others were involved, and only 29% thought one person, the assassin Lee Harvey Oswald, committed the crime.

As history is often viewed through clear lenses, a single uncontrollable variable changed what many believed could be easily managed. Abe Zapruder brought a video camera and by, fate, kismet, destiny, or God, positioned himself directly to the right of the grassy knoll, below the book depository, on Elm Street, where the motorcade would travel, and where it has been alleged that Oswald positioned himself and fired the shots.

Hearing Zapruder, who died August 30, 1970, explain, even with the tape, which is graphic and shows the first bullet hitting Kennedy in the throat, grabbing his neck and turning to Jacqueline, followed by a second shot, and blood spray, he believes he would have heard the shots from his right ear, if the shots had been fired from the grassy knoll, instead of his left. The Zapruder Tape is the only available visual record of the President's murder.

Other key details seen, in the 26-seconds, are the absence of the president's security detail. The president's detail is nowhere in the first 24 seconds of the film, and even in the last two seconds, a lone man, one assumes is part of the president's detail is seen running toward the motorcade. Photographs released throughout history, from different angles show President Kennedy's security detail, all riding in a vehicle at least two car lengths behind the president. One well-circulated photo depicts a member of the president's security team jumping on the back of the limousine, after the fact.

Unpacking a motive for a crime that allegedly did not occur, pieced together from limited photographs, a 26-second film, and bits and pieces of information built upon years of conspiracy theories, true crime shows, and films, can be reduced to simply another theory to add to the myriad of those who believe someone else was involved.

Hoover's FBI

In 1963 J. Edgar Hoover was the Director of the FBI, helping form the agency in 1935, and remaining as its director until 1967. Hoover came into adulthood during a time in American history, where illicit conduct was aggressively prosecuted. Homosexuals were jailed, immorality, on any level, was ostracized, there were strict rules regarding sexual behavior, and none of those rules allowed for promiscuity, adultery, or deviant behavior.

Hoover was fighting a losing battle against the changes in society, and by 1963, after years of reports detailing the president's involvement in illicit and extramarital affairs decided the only way to restore honor to the White House, and subsequently calm a swelling tide, was to take action.

The good, in the mind of Hoover, that would come from restoring the White House to a place of honor and consequently curbing the out-of-control explosion in society, was well worth the impact, the blunt force trauma, and long term post-traumatic stress society would suffer.

Hoover long felt the only way to handle uprisings from the protests by students or civilians, as history has shown through the Civil Rights movement, was an iron fist. In this manner, any branch of society that strayed into an area outside the prescribed societal lines was beaten down.

Even with the First Lady in the White House, President Kennedy's security detail was reporting starlets and others, parading in the office and out the exits and the only way to end this continual dishonor was to end the presidency. And as the 1964 reelection was on the horizon, Kennedy was assured a victory.

Throughout history the possibility that Kennedy had a sex addiction has never been addressed by authorities, although included in film, reenactments, and books, for fear of dishonoring the memory, and violating privacy rights.

Conversely, biographers have long debated whether Hoover was a homosexual and this hidden and deadly secret was the motivation behind his aggressive prosecution of gay men. Having to hide his predilections, while Kennedy was flagrant and lived without concern, could certainly be considered motivation. The president's hypersexuality was Hoover's trigger, and stopping him, would be akin to silencing the reverberating deviant message within himself.

Isn't it better to expose what is hidden to find the truth, than continue to cover a slice of darkness for fear of altering the well-crafted lie, and dishonoring one hundred men?

Continuing to unpack the details in a crime that could reach the then highest levels of government, now seems logical, in 1963, with a nation reeling from shock, and the subsequent pall that blanketed the country, a quick investigation, details in place, was seen as the only viable solution. Even using government authority, executive orders to stop the Zapruder tape from being shown publicly, which is why it was also part of the sealed files and not seen by the American public until 1975.

Hoover would understand two things which were of paramount importance: 1) the president couldn't survive the attempt, and 2) Oswald had to fire one shot.

Of course, if it were Hoover who issued the order he would set in place a team of marksmen, at least one, with Kennedy's detail, all of them positioned one to two car length behind the presidential motorcade, so there would not be the possibility of a Secret Service agent taking a bullet for the president. The motorcade would need to be wide open. The orders to have the detail, all of them, some distance away from the president, would have been a directive.

Oswald, even looking at him, one could tell he was a bit nervous, shaky, could get off one shot before his nerves would take over and from one flight up, from the same area, same line the second kill shot could be fired. 

The president could survive a throat injury, and no stone would be unturned to find the shooter. With an assassination the details could be controlled, the information released limited and a well-crafted, logical, solution with shaky and nervous Oswald as the single shooter. Even if he went to trial, the government would control the release of information.

It's doubtful Jack Ruby, who murdered Lee Harvey Oswald, was a pawn in Hoover's restoration process. Kennedy's assassination created an overwhelming emotional breakdown, and many believe he felt what the world was feeling and decided to take justice in his own hands. Either way, Oswald's murder silenced the only person who could shed light on any other suspect and break down a well-constructed FBI theory.

As PTSD has different gestation periods in everyone, Ruby's was immediate. The shots that rang out in Dallas reverberated throughout society and soon, Hoover's plan of sedating the public back to a gentler season, erupted and catapulted society into what has become known as the most revolutionary period in American history and resulted in generations of injury.

So, to honor the memory of President John F. Kennedy, on this day, November 22, 2025, 62 years after the shots rang out in Dallas, another respectful theory, originally compiled in 2016, from one often called a conspiracy theorist.
