• Two closely watched surveys of U.S. manufacturing activity painted sharply divergent pictures in November, with one showing continued expansion and the other reporting accelerating contraction, highlighting deep uncertainty about the sector’s health amid ongoing adjustment to the new rules of global trade.
• The S&P Global U.S. Manufacturing PMI registered 52.2 in November, marking the fourth consecutive month above the 50 threshold that separates expansion from contraction. However, the reading slipped from 52.5 in October.
• By contrast, the ISM Manufacturing PMI fell to 48.2, down from 48.7 in October and marking the ninth consecutive month of contraction. The divergence places the two surveys on opposite sides of the expansion-contraction divide, an unusual occurrence that suggests significantly different conditions across the manufacturing landscape.

•  , a delegation of U.S. Representatives traveled to Honduras to personally “participate in observation” of their elections to “underscore the United States’ continued support for transparent, credible, and peaceful democratic processes in the region,” according to a press release from Representative Rick Crawford, the Chairman of the House Permanent Select Committee on Intelligence.

•  alliances are shaping up in the Caribbean, with many countries abandoning Venezuela and supporting the United States. Venezuelan leader Nicolás Maduro is becoming increasingly isolated as regional governments shift away from Chavismo and move closer to Washington. Honduras and St. Vincent and the Grenadines, once reliable partners for Caracas, have both elected new governments that pledged to distance themselves from Maduro.
•  Honduras   Argentina, Ecuador, El Salvador, and Bolivia have also deteriorated as those countries shifted to the right.
• Puerto Rico and the U.S. Virgin Islands, both U.S. territories, have seen a renewed military buildup, with fighter jets and transport aircraft operating from Cold War-era facilities such as Roosevelt Roads and new activity at St. Croix’s airport. Grenada is considering a U.S. request to host temporary radar equipment and personnel at Maurice Bishop International Airport. The government is still weighing technical and safety concerns, and the decision is complicated by the 1983 U.S. invasion and the airport’s symbolic significance.
• Colombia remains the strongest partner, working closely with the United States on counter-narcotics, sanctions enforcement, and intelligence sharing, while also coordinating policy on the region’s largest population of Venezuelan refugees. Paraguay and Uruguay consistently vote with Washington at the OAS to isolate Maduro and support democratic transition efforts. Ecuador works with the United States on organized crime, Venezuelan gang activity, and sanctions evasion, and has been publicly critical of the regime.
•  Maduro’s remaining allies in the region are Cuba and Nicaragua, but neither is positioned to provide meaningful assistance. Cuba publicly supports Venezuela but is facing a severe economic crisis and avoids committing to any response if the United States takes military action

If Europe wants a war, we are ready to fight now, says Vladimir Putin

LAWFARE: Trump just removed another 8 pro-illegal immigration judges in Manhattan, 90 fired so far as he restores rule of law to the immigration courts. On December 1, the Trump administration dismissed eight immigration judges at 26 Federal Plaza in Manhattan for patterns of excessive asylum approvals, refusal to enforce statutory standards and unmanageable processing delays. This brings Trump’s total removals to 90 judges nationwide. The administration says the effort is necessary to dismantle the pipeline of activist judges who reward illegal entry with near-automatic asylum approvals. Conservatives call it long-overdue accountability; opponents concede the judges had serious performance issues.
