I wonder if the United States can learn anything from the last time a major industrialized country decided to isolate itself from the rest of the world?
Almost a decade after the Brexit vote, GDP in the UK is around 6-8% lower relative to peer countries. (Source: www.nber.org/papers/w34459)
In the century leading up to 1975, nearly 6000 freighters went down in the Great Lakes.
The Edmund Fitzgerald was the last.
The last. In 50 years, not a single commercial freighter has been lost in the Great Lakes.
Why?
It's NOAA. Of course it's NOAA.

I Want You to Understand Chicago Politics Chicago 2025-11-08 I want you to understand what it is like to live in Chicago during this time. Every day my phone buzzes. It is a neighborhood group: four people were kidnapped at the corner drugstore. A friend a mile away sends a Slack message: she was at the scene when masked men assaulted and abducted two people on the street. A plumber working on my pipes is distraught, and I find out that two of his employees were kidnapped that morning. A week later it happens again. An email arrives. Agents with guns have chased a teacher into the school where she works. They did not have a warrant. They dragged her away, ignoring her and her colleagues’ pleas to show proof of her documentation. That evening I stand a few feet from the parents of Rayito de Sol and listen to them describe, with anguish, how good Ms. Diana was to their children. What it is like to have strangers with guns traumatize your kids. For a teacher to hide a three-year-old child for fear they might be killed. How their relatives will no longer leave the house. I hear the pain and fury in their voices, and I wonder who will be next. Understand what it is to pray in Chicago. On September 19th, Reverend David Black, lead pastor at First Presbyterian Church of Chicago, was praying outside the ICE detention center in Broadview when a DHS agent shot him in the head with pepper balls. Pepper balls are never supposed to be fired at the head because they can seriously injure, or even kill. “We could hear them laughing as they were shooting us from the roof,” Black recalled. He is not the only member of the clergy ICE has assaulted. Methodist pastor Hannah Kardon was violently arrested on October 17th, and Baptist pastor Michael Woolf was shot with pepper balls on November 1st. Understand what it is to sleep in Chicago. On the night of September 30th, federal agents rappelled from a Black Hawk helicopter to execute a raid on an apartment building on the South Sho…

Trump’s pardon attorney Ed Martin claims Trump is pardoning his Georgia co-defendants and other “alternate electors.”
Note: Trump’s Georgia co-defendants are charged under state law. The president can’t pardon people for state crimes.
Allow me to summarize:
1. 5 IDF soldiers caught sexually molesting a Palestinian prisoner.
2. IDF files charges.
3. IDF AG faces enormous pressure from government to drop charges. Mob storms base where it happened.
4. IDF AG leaks video documenting the molestation.
5. IDF AG pushed out (continued)
1: shoots gun at Capitol on J6
2: slueths tell fbi his name
3: he kills a man, claims self defense
4: he tells police he was the j6 gunman
5: he’s finally arrested
6: trump pardons him for j6
7: he allegedly kidnaps and sexually assaults someone

DHS confirmed it has stopped automatically storing officials' text messages.
Instead, officials are supposed to take a screenshot, send that to their work email, download it onto their work computer and run a text-recognition program on it. Every time.

DECLARATION OF GREGORY K. BOVINO I, Gregory K. Bovino, declare and affirm as follows: 1. I received a body worn camera on October 30, 2025. 2. I completed the requisite body-worn camera training on October 30, 2025. 3. I am currently using my body-worn camera in compliance with the preliminary injunction. Executed this 7th day of November, 2025, in Chicago, Illinois.
JUST IN: The declaration of U.S. Border Patrol commander Greg Bovino
He says he received a body-worn camera, has been trained on a body-worn camera, and is "currently using my body-worn camera in compliance with the preliminary injunction."
This is a big deal, although a lot will depend on what #SCOTUS does in the Illinois case (in which we don’t expect a ruling until the week of November 17 at the earliest).

CONCLUSION For the above reasons, this Court concludes that Plaintiffs have demonstrated that Defendants violated 10 U.S.C. § 12406 and the Tenth Amendment and satisfy the requirements for a permanent injunction. Therefore, this Court PERMANENTLY ENJOINS Defendants24 Pete Hegseth, the U.S. Department of Defense, Kristi Noem, and the U.S. Department of 24 As this Court may lack jurisdiction to enjoin President Trump in the performance of his official duties, see Franklin v. Massachusetts, 505 U.S. 788, 802–03 (1992) (plurality opinion); Mississippi v. Johnson, 71 U.S. (4 Wall.) 475, 501 (1866), this injunction applies only against the other Defendants. PAGE 105 – FINDINGS OF FACT & CONCLUSIONS OF LAW Homeland Security from implementing the following memoranda federalizing and deploying members of the National Guard in Oregon: 1. Defendant Secretary Hegseth’s September 28, 2025 Memorandum federalizing and deploying the Oregon National Guard, Ex. 1051;
Homeland Security from implementing the following memoranda federalizing and deploying members of the National Guard in Oregon: 1. Defendant Secretary Hegseth’s September 28, 2025 Memorandum federalizing and deploying the Oregon National Guard, Ex. 1051; 2. Defendant Secretary Hegseth’s October 5, 2025 Memorandum federalizing and deploying the Texas National Guard, to the extent that it deploys members of the Texas National Guard in Oregon, Ex. 6; 3. Defendant Secretary Hegseth’s October 16, 2025 Memorandum to the extent that it authorizes the deployment of federalized members of the California and Texas National Guards to Oregon, Ex. 2; and 4. any memoranda deploying members of any other State’s National Guard to Oregon based on the same predicate conditions that were relied upon to authorize the above orders. This Court retains jurisdiction pursuant to the All Writs Act, 28 U.S.C. § 1651, to enforce the terms of this permanent injunction against any party.
BREAKING: Judge Immergut issues a permanent injunction against Pete Hegseth and the deployment of the National Guard to Portland.

tl;dr: Because troops were already blocked with preliminary orders in Oregon, this changes nothing on the ground immediately.
It is, however, now a permanent order — on both federalization and deployment — and is a huge deal. And, of course, will be appealed.
