Gov. Greg Abbott released a proclamation today identifying the Muslim Brotherhood and CAIR as foreign terrorist organizations in the state of Texas. Gov. Greg Abbott is designating the Muslim Brotherhood and the Council on American-Islamic Relations as foreign terrorist organizations and transnational criminal organizations. The designation authorizes “heightened enforcement” against both organizations and their affiliates and prohibits them from purchasing or acquiring land in Texas, according to Abbott’s office. Abbott’s move comes as he has increasingly spoken out against Muslim groups amid his run for a record fourth term. Muslim advocates say he is amplifying Islamophobic rhetoric that they fear could lead to violence against Muslim communities. Abbott released a statement about the proclamation: “The Muslim Brotherhood and CAIR have long made their goals clear: to forcibly impose Sharia law and establish Islam’s ‘mastership of the world,’” said Governor Abbott. “The actions taken by the Muslim Brotherhood and CAIR to support terrorism across the globe and subvert our laws through violence, intimidation, and harassment are unacceptable. Today, I designated the Muslim Brotherhood and CAIR as foreign terrorist organizations and transnational criminal organizations. These radical extremists are not welcome in our state and are now prohibited from acquiring any real property interest in Texas.” The proclamation itself can be viewed here. It includes a list of people CAIR has “employed, affiliated with, and supported” who promoted “terrorism-related activiites.” The last person on the list is Nihad Awad, the group’s current president. The proclamation says he “praised and supported Hamas’s October 7, 2023 attack against Israel.” Did Awad do that? Yes, he did. In fact, the Biden White House disavowed CAIR after Awad’s comments. The White House disavowed an American-Islamic advocacy organization on Thursday after the group’s director declared that he “was happy to see” Palestinians break out of Gaza on Oct. 7, the day of the Hamas terrorist attack on Israel that killed an estimated 1, 200 people and led to the seizure of 240 others as hostages. A spokesman for President Biden condemned the remarks by Nihad Awad, the national executive director of the Council on American-Islamic Relations, who declared in a speech that Palestinians in Gaza “have the right to self-defense” but that Israel “as an occupying power” does not. Mr. Awad said his comments were being misconstrued. “We condemn these shocking, antisemitic statements in the strongest terms,” said Mr. Biden’s spokesman, Andrew Bates.“The people of Gaza only decided to break the siege, the walls of the concentration camp, on Oct. 7,” he said. “And yes, I was happy to see people breaking the siege and throwing down the shackles of their own land and walk free into their land that they were not allowed to walk in. “And yes,” he continued, “the people of Gaza have the right to self-defense, have the right to defend themselves, and yes, Israel as an occupying power does not have that right to self-defense.” Video of his statement is here. It seems pretty clear to me he’s saying that the land of Israel belongs to the Palestinians and Israel has no right to defend itself. After the speech circulated, Awad claimed he was misunderstood and that he was only referring to Palestinians who wandered into Israel while the attack was taking place, not to Hamas. In any case, CAIR just released a statement reacting to the proclamation by Gov. Abbott. Greg Abbott is an Israel First politician who has spent months stoking anti-Muslim hysteria to smear American Muslims critical of the Israeli government. Although we are flattered by his obsession with our civil rights group, his defamatory proclamation has no basis in fact or law. Unlike Mr. Abbott–who unleashed violence against Texas students protesting the Gaza genocide to satisfy his AIPAC donors–our civil rights organization is an independent voice that answers to the American people, relies on support from the American people, and opposes all forms of unjust violence, including hate crimes, ethnic cleansing, genocide and terrorism. CAIR has successfully sued @GregAbbott_TX three different times for shredding the First Amendment to benefit the Israeli government, and we are ready to sue him again if he attempts to turn this publicity stunt into real policy. See you in court again, Greg. if you dare. On the federal level, neither group has been designated an FTO, but a bill was recently introduced to target the Muslim Brotherhood. In July, Florida Representatives Mario Díaz-Balart, a Republican, and Jared Moskowitz, a Democrat, co-chairs of the Friends of Egypt Caucus, reintroduced the Muslim Brotherhood Terrorist Designation Act of 2025, aimed at designating the global Muslim Brotherhood as a terrorist group. The U. S. government has not designated the Muslim Brotherhood as a terrorist organization as a whole, citing the group’s diffuse structure and political activities across different countries. I wanted to include some reactions to the proclamation from X, unfortunately X is not behaving well this morning and won’t let me embed any tweets at the moment.

Month: November 2025
Real ID So Real, Even Real Terrorists Can Get One!
Hot Air ^ | 17 Nov, 2025 | Beege Welborn Posted on by MtnClimber In the middle of last month, and in response to a sudden rash of horrific and fatal semi-truck accidents found to have been caused by illegal aliens with commercial drivers’ licenses (CDL), the Secretary of Transportation, Sean Duffy, announced he was immediately imposing a radical measure in an attempt to get these dangerous, often non-English speaking hazards off American highways. Calling the current use of non-domiciled CDLs a “national emergency” and a “threat to public safety,” the U. S. Department of Transportation plans to drastically reduce eligibility. The new system will make non-citizens ineligible for a non-domiciled CDL unless they meet stricter requirements, including an employment-based visa and a federal immigration status check. During a news conference on Friday, Sept. 26, Transportation Secretary Sean Duffy said the changes are in response to a recent series of fatal crashes caused by non-domiciled drivers. “We have a government system designed to keep families on the road safe, but that system has been compromised,” Duffy said. “I’m talking about non-domiciled commercial driver’s licenses that are issued across the country. In plain English, this is a license to operate a massive 80, 000-pound truck that is being issued to foreign drivers who are not U. S. citizens or lawful permanent residents. The process for issuing these licenses is absolutely 100% broken. It has become a threat to public safety, and it is a national emergency that requires action right now.” He was shutting down the blue states’ ability to issue CDLs to all comers. 1. Limits individuals eligible for non-domiciled CLPs and CDLs to those maintaining lawful immigration status in certain employment-based nonimmigrant categories, certain individuals domiciled in a U. S. territory and individuals domiciled in a state that is prohibited from issuing CLPs or CDLs because the state’s CDL program is decertified 2. Requires non-citizen applicants (except for lawful permanent residents) to provide an unexpired foreign passport and an unexpired arrival/departure record indicating one of the specified employment-based nonimmigrant categories at every issuance, transfer, renewal and upgrade action 3. Requires state driver’s licensing agencies to query the Systematic Alien Verification for Entitlements System to verify the accuracy and legitimacy of provided documents and information 4. Requires the state agencies to retain copies of the application documents for at least two years 5. Requires the expiration date for any non-domiciled CLP or CDL to match the expiration date of the arrival/departure record or to expire in one year, whichever is sooner 6. Requires the applicant to be present in person at each renewal 7. Requires the state agency to downgrade the non-domiciled CLP or CDL if the state becomes aware that the person is no longer eligible This update of regulations would have rendered nearly 190, 000 non-citizens’ licenses invalid. That number alone tells you the size of the problem. On the 10th of this month, a federal court ruled that Duffy’s new rule could be ‘administratively stayed,’ effectively neutering the program before it even began while they looked into it.

Hive Digital’s 53% crash mirrors Bitcoin’s retreat, but analysts predict a bullish bounce to $10
Hive Digital Technologies’ stock price has entered a bear market, down over 53% from its year-high. The stock, listed on NASDAQ under the ticker symbol HIVE, traded at $3. 50, down from its October high of $7. 82. It has tumbled to its lowest level since Sept. 26. Why Hive Digital stock has crashed Hive Digital stock jumped by over 500% from its April low to its October high. This rally was driven by the recent Bitcoin (BTC) bull run that pushed it to a record high in October. The company also surged after announcing plans to pivot into the artificial intelligence and high-performance computing industries. This strategy mirrors that of other Bitcoin mining companies, such as Core Scientific, IREN, and Bitfarms, which have become multi-billion-dollar entities. Recently, Hive stock price has crashed due to the ongoing crypto market downturn. Its retreat is also similar to other AI data center companies. CoreWeave, a former Bitcoin miner that has become the sector’s most significant player, has dropped 61% from its year-to-date high. Similarly, IREN stock has dropped by 37% from this month’s high despite reaching a $9. 7 billion deal with Microsoft. Bitfarms and Nebius are down 60% and 40%, respectively, from their recent peaks. Top Wall Street analysts are bullish on Hive stock Some major Wall Street analysts are highly bullish on Hive Digital stock and expect it to jump by 185% to $10. In a note, Rosenblatt noted that the management’s strategy was working, as evidenced by the Q2’26 report. The company had $87 million in revenue in the quarter, higher than the $80 million Rosenblatt had expected. Its Bitcoin mining revenue rose to $82 million, while its AI business brought in $5. 7 million. The analyst wrote: “With the stock selling off sharply in the recent market pullback, we see an attractive entry point and reiterate our BUY rating. Our Price Target remains $10 based on 12x our FY27 Adjusted EBITDA estimate.” Meanwhile, H. C. Wainwright analysts also predicted that the Hive stock price will jump to $10, citing management’s plan to deploy 11, 000 GPUs by the end of next year, up from ~5, 000 today. These investments will help it make $140 million in annualized AI cloud revenue by the end of next year. The analyst noted: “ We are raising our price target to $10 from $8 previously. Our revised price target reflects a 5x EV/revenue multiple applied to our revised C2026 revenue estimate of $498. 7M (down from $534. 8M).” Hive Digital shares technical analysis The daily timeframe chart shows that the Hive stock has formed a cup-and-handle-like pattern. The cup’s upper side was at $5. 54, while its lower side was at $1. 28. It is now forming the handle section and has found support at the 200-day moving average. Therefore, remaining above this average will point to a rebound, initially to the cup’s upper side. The cup has a depth of about 77%. Measuring the same distance from the cup’s upper side gives a target of $9. 8, which is a few points below the analysts’ estimate of $10.

Coinbase (COIN) Stock Price Prediction: 2025, 2026, 2030
Analysts are saying that Coinbase could hit $177 by 2030. Bullish on COIN? Invest in Coinbase on SoFi with no commissions. If it’s your first time signing up for SoFi, you’ll receive up to $1,000 in stock when you first fund your account. Plus, get a 1% bonus if you transfer your investments and keep them there until December 31, 2025. Through acquisition and expansion, Coinbase Global, Inc. (COIN) is positioning itself to evolve into more than just the largest U. S.- based cryptocurrency exchange. By creating institutional partnerships, investing in innovation and technology, and working to diversify its revenue streams, the company is trying to become a financial platform for both individual and institutional customers, while also making moves to insulate itself from some of the volatility of the cryptocurrency market. But because Coinbase is so crypto-heavy, there’s a lot of uncertainty surrounding its current valuation and how the stock will perform over the next five years. Below, we’ll draw on recent trends, expert analysis, and algorithmic projections to survey Coinbase stock price predictions for 2025, 2026, and 2030. Current Coinbase Stock Overview Market cap: $71. 63 Billion Trailing P/E Ratio: 22. 81 Forward P/E Ratio: 39. 06 1-Year Return: -18. 81 2025 Year to Date: +6. 40% despite the stock price trending downward over the last few weeks. As of November 2025, Coinbase stock trades near $264. This is well below its 52-week high of about $444. 65 and its reported 52-week average of approximately $284. 65. Its trailing P/E ratio sits high at 22. 81, indicating investor optimism for future growth and earnings. Current market sentiment is mixed, due in part to soft earnings in Q2 2025 and a perceived cooling of the retail cryptocurrency market; but Coinbase’s partnerships with Circle and JPMorgan Chase have fueled some analysts to remain bullish. Coinbase and Circle co-created the USDC stablecoin, and Coinbase shares in the revenue and promotes its use across its platform. The recently-signed GENIUS Act regulates and establishes stablecoin as a digital asset that can be used for payments and settlements with a redeemable fixed monetary value. Circle is the issuer of USDC, and with increased purchase and adoption, Coinbase should benefit. The company’s partnership with JPMorgan is also a move to increase accessibility and use of stablecoin, as well as Coinbase services. Chase customers link their bank accounts to Coinbase and either through the linked account or a Chase credit card, fund a Coinbase account which can be used to purchase stablecoin or other cryptocurrency, generating revenue for Coinbase through transaction fees. Chase customers can also redeem Chase Ultimate Rewards points for USDC. Thirteen of 25 analysts find Coinbase stock a Buy based on positive projections for future growth, fueled by current trends in the cryptocurrency market, potential benefits from the GENIUS Act and strategic institutional alliances it has made. Ten out of 25 analysts consider Coinbase stock a Hold. Concern over its ability to meet future earnings expectations linger, as the company missed its mark with last quarter earnings falling short. Only two analysts consider the stock a sell. Quick Snapshot Table of Predictions Bull & Bear Case Bull Case A majority of analysts lean bullish, with Coinbase considered a Moderate Buy due to strong performance history, a solid position in the cryptocurrency market, and growth potential from its expanding role in stablecoins, particularly USDC. 3-year net income CAGR of 165% (top 10% in the industry) and 5-year net income CAGR of 216%, signal strong historical growth and profitability trends. Bear Case Volatility in the cryptocurrency market, heavy reliance on retail revenue, and increasing industry competition could weigh on future performance. Trailing 12-month net income is 93% lower than the 3-year average of 164%, showing a steep recent drop in profitability. Free cash flow yield of 1. 68% ranks in the bottom 10% of its industry, suggesting potential overvaluation. Coinbase Stock Price Prediction for 2025 Coinbase’s performance is expected to closely mirror the broader cryptocurrency market, with potential for both substantial upside and pronounced volatility. If Bitcoin and Ethereum continue to climb, Coinbase should benefit as its revenue is tied to trading activity, while downturns in crypto markets could have the opposite effect. Institutional adoption is also an important factor. Major players such as Fidelity Investments, Goldman Sachs, Citibank, and BNY Mellon are expanding into cryptocurrency, and increased institutional participation could drive higher trading volumes and boost Coinbase’s transaction revenue. Analyst projections for the period reflect a mixed outlook, underscoring the company’s dependence on market conditions and its ability to sustain growth in a highly volatile sector. Coinbase Stock Price Prediction for 2026 Coinbase may face headwinds in 2026 as cryptocurrency market fluctuations remain a dominant factor in its performance. The company’s fortunes are still closely tied to digital asset prices, which makes it vulnerable to broader volatility across the sector. That said, Coinbase has taken steps to diversify its revenue streams, reducing its reliance on pure trading volume. Potential regulatory clarity, including recent developments such as the GENIUS Act, could also provide a tailwind by legitimizing operations and encouraging institutional participation. These factors give analysts and investors some optimism that Coinbase’s longer-term trajectory may remain constructive despite short-term pressures. Coinbase Stock Price Prediction for 2030 The health of the cryptocurrency market in 2030 will largely determine Coinbase’s long-term trajectory. Because the company’s revenues are heavily linked to trading activity and digital asset valuations, its performance is expected to track broader crypto market cycles. Conservative projections envision only modest growth if the crypto market expands at a steady pace, leaving Coinbase trading close to where it is today. If digital assets outperform expectations and adoption accelerates, Coinbase’s valuation could climb meaningfully. Conversely, a prolonged downturn in crypto markets could lead to steep declines. Ultimately, Coinbase’s outlook hinges on whether cryptocurrency achieves wider global integration and institutional adoption, or whether regulatory and competitive pressures dampen demand. Investment Considerations Growth investors may find Coinbase appealing, especially if they’re comfortable with its close ties to the cryptocurrency market and its associated volatility. That volatility could make COIN particularly attractive to speculative investors, as the potential for dramatic price swings exist, making short-term gains a possibility, but with just as much potential for loss. With its focus on expansion and diversifying, Coinbase may be too volatile for value investors. The company’s expansion into stablecoin revenue and staking, establishing itself as a primary infrastructure provider for the Web3 ecosystem, and providing services for institutional investors, could be a growth catalyst, but also a stabilizer. With so many unknowns, however, projections for future stock prices remain mixed.

Schumer Accidentally Exposed the Case Against Democrats on Epstein
Tuesday could be the day America finally gets to see what the Epstein files reveal, and the anticipation is thick enough to cut with a knife. The House is scheduled to vote on the release, and the outcome is basically a foregone conclusion. Not only does Donald Trump back it, but the votes were already there before he chimed in. It’s only a matter of time.
