The Morning Report — 10/20 /26
There are two ways of looking at the midterms, now less than three weeks away. One is as a simple referendum on the issues and politicians of the day. The other involves a far deeper conflict of visions (as Thomas Sowell puts it): socialism versus capitalism, intrusive versus limited government, and the destruction of time-honored institutions and traditions versus their preservation and renewal. Rarely in American history have the two parties been so far apart or the choice between them so stark. In brief, Islamist-sympathizing socialism is on the ballot against free-market capitalism and American exceptionalism. The new Islamist-allied socialist Democrat Party is confident, largely because the party holding the White House has increased its share of House seats in a midterm election only three times since 1900. Each of those exceptions arose under unusual circumstances. . . . . .Are they demonizing the majority of the American people in the manner of Zohran Mamdani’s housing czar, Cea Weaver, who declared that homeownership is “a weapon of white supremacy”? Or like Melat Kiros, who argues that “We were never really going to be able to tackle white supremacy in the way that we need to without reparations”? Could anyone imagine Republican or conservative candidates apologizing for terrorism in the manner of marquee Senate candidate Abdul El-Sayed, who responded to a cowardly Islamist attack on a synagogue with “Hurt people do hurt people”? In short, treat this midterm election as the deep choice that it is.That is just a taste, and a very bitter one (like bitter almonds IYKWIMAITYD) from our esteemed friend Prof. Victor Davis Hanson who goes into much more disturbing detail of just what's at stake two weeks from now. And the equally eloquent and cromulent Glenn H Reynolds goes off on this harridan Elissa Slotkin.
Democrats speak with forked tongue. On Sunday, former President Barack Obama denounced the Trump administration’s investigation of Rep. Ilhan Omar for immigration fraud as un-American. In America, we don’t go after our political opponents, he said. This from the man who sent his Internal Revenue Service after Tea Party protesters, and whose running mate, after he became president, treated traditional Catholics, COVID-vaccine skeptics and parents who spoke out at school board meetings as potential terrorists. Not to mention raiding Donald Trump’s home and sending FBI agents to rifle through Melania’s underwear. . . . . . Biden’s team went after COVID-vaccine skeptics and critics of trans policy. Slotkin just wants to scare young people away from being conservatives. The goal seems to be something like Britain — a society where disagreeing with the government on social media gets you a visit from police, and possibly a jail term, just for stating a contrary opinion. As The Post’s Karol Markowitz put it, “They told me the US was heading toward fascism and they were right.” Ironically, Slotkin is an alumna of the Central Intelligence Agency, where the motto “Ye shall know the truth, and the truth will make you free” is carved into the wall. It is a core American belief that you don’t learn the truth through censorship and intimidation. You learn the truth through free and open debate and competition in the marketplace of ideas. One would think a CIA alumna would understand, and support, these American principles. Instead she’s talking like a thug.Well this is the same CIA that somehow hired John Brennan, a Gus Hall-Angela Davis voting communist who not surprisingly became Obama's CIA chief and who no or shockingly few Republicans opposed (or am I misremembering?). Reynolds continues...
But Slotkin represents the kind of thinking that is bringing America closer to civil disorder, if not outright civil war. For over two centuries, America managed to engage in a peaceful transfer of power without the outgoing parties having to protect themselves against political prosecutions by the incoming party. The other way is dangerous. . . the increasing politicization of the justice system and the creation of what were fundamentally political crimes and prosecutions. We warned this practice would destroy faith in both the political and the justice system. Things have only gotten worse since. Sen. Slotkin’s speech amplifies the problem. Treating political opposition as a crime is wrong. It’s unAmerican. And it’s dangerous.Well, that's strong language, especially from someone I respect, but that brings me to someone that I'm not so confident in nor respectful of to say the least who had this to say...
Marsha Blackburn: The Radical Left Wants Tennessee. They’ll Have To Go Through Me.. .Socialism stops at the Tennessee line.While Blackburn yammers on about voting, the question was and is at what point will voting simply not matter? whether the Democrats do as they've always done by stealing elections or as we see in France and as we saw here in 2020 as well as several other times in our recent past riot and burn cities to the ground, on top of outright assassinating their political enemies? When what Slotkin and her ilk are hot and horny for fails, then violence is their only option? And so, Marsha Blackburn and all of us the question is "How many divisions do they and more crucially WE have?! I'd like to end on a more humorous note as commenter Spamf Roming noted my reference to the classic movie "Casablanca" was totally wrong:
Bogey didn't kiss Elsa at the station. She sent a note and stood him up. He didn't kiss her at the airport, but sent her off with her husband.
Considering I must've seen the flick at least a couple dozen or more times and studied it as a screenwriter, that is an embarrassing error. My only defense is I must've been channeling something else that riffed off of that scene. On that note I bid you all to, despite the above and all the rest of the news,have a good day. And please vote early and often!!!

I view it this way: from a legislative standpoint, we are living through a straight-up note for note cover of 2017-2021. Which means these midterms are of no importance whatsoever - all that changes with a Democrat win is more stupid impeachment theater, and perhaps some vetos. The GOP flatly refuses to move Trump's agenda, and he'll have to govern by executive order with "either" Party running committees.

Anywho, these are strange days indeed. Unsure about what to think of the coming elections but Europe is a window into our future if messaging and outreach don't change. The choice and differences are high contrast and stark.
Life vs death. Not just in the human physical sense but civilization itself. We've frittered away so much, now we have our footing back, the left knows this and is gearing up to do terrible things to make sure we don't have feet or legs on which to stand.

Ironically, Slotkin is an alumna of the Central Intelligence Agency, where the motto “Ye shall know the truth, and the truth will make you free” is carved into the wall.
Double irony: The motto which they looted from John 8:32 in the KJV. They have hijacked and perverted the words of Jesus Christ by changing "truth" to mean "contemporary politically expedient narrative". Which is especially ironic because the audience of that time also thought "freedom" was social and political liberty, and "truth" was simply facts and secret information. Jesus explicitly dealt with that misconception because He meant "truth" as the identity of Jesus, the reality of mankind's condition and God's Holy revelation. Freedom is breaking the bondage of sin and spiritual blindness.
The CIA, like Satan, has twisted those words so that "truth" = "lies" and "freedom" = "tyranny".

Speaking of VA, vote down Amendments 1, 2, and 3. The Catholic Churches here have started mailing personal postcards to all Catholics to vote down 1 and 2 (they are staying silent on 3). Even if all the candidate races are losers, get out to vote to vote down the amendments.
Yes, Amendments 1 and 2 are a grave enough moral concern that the Church is putting their money and personnel where their mouth is, and has been doing it since these amendments got on the ballot.
1 is unlimited abortion for all ages at all times
2 is codifying gender ideology into the VA constitution through the guise of gay marriage

Re: Alberta. The vote was to start the process that would end with another vote in a couple years to actually separate. Yes got 25%, give or take a percentage point when all the counting is done. I am not surprised.
To be honest, as much as people here and on other sites think Alberta is a bastion of conservatism, people like our Alberta Oil Peon are a shrinking minority. Most "conservatives" would be at best moderate Republicans. If Alberta became a state, you'd see Democrats being elected to Congress. And 84% of Albertans get some form of government payouts. As well, lots of immigration and the majority of the population lives in Edmonton (government/university town) and Calgary and their suburbs.
Speaking of immigration, there were 10 ballot questions, 9 of which were non-binding but were essentially a referendum on various subjects relating to Alberta's relationship with Canada. What's been made clear by those is that there is a big interest in having a say on which immigrants are allowed to come to Alberta, which new residents should immediately qualify for social assistance vs. those who should wait, and strengthening Alberta's ability to govern itself.

Fed budget will skyrocket
News Flash: The budget has always grown, even under Trump. Even including the special TARP, Covid Spending Sweepstakes and Inflation Reduction Act, Trump's budgets blow those away in spending. Even after DOGE.
Trump spends YUUUGE money, regardless of Party in the Legislative branch.
So discard the idea that the vote going one way or the other this Election Season has any bearing on spending. For example if Screwtape were to somehow overcome Paxton, then Screwtape could blue slip any Trump appointed judge in Texas so the people of Texas would suffer on shit judges who get their judicial inspiration from demons.
It will be impeachment theater. It will be obstacles at every measure. It will be ludicrous spending bills and over-the-top fucked up regulations and sanctions against Israel.
We might as well just get the shooting war started because the Trump administration will revert to Trump 1.0 - simply dodging prison. Expect much of the appointees to leave to protect what remains of their lives.

Also, signs, mailers and tv/internet ad propaganda around here seem to be heavily democrat.

What's the deal with Rumble?
Supposed to be a competitor with YouTube?
Its all about the money. Go see if you can monetize a gun video series or talk negatively about some sacred cow of the Left. Rather YouTube will still run the ads but keep the profits to themselves and steal your content for their own gain.
Rumble is a different content monetizing model.

Any reasonable chance the vote in Alberta was rigged non-blatantly? Probably still at the 'more disposed to suffer, while evils are sufferable' phase, but I do wonder these days any time a vote benefits socialists. They don't only cheat 'just enough to tip the scales when it's close'.

Nope. Lots of people like my parents: May not like how the feds screw over Alberta, but better to stick with the known than venture forth into the unknown.
Although the other day Carney was playing the "US is interfering" card. You all have no idea how big "Canada is at war with the US" drumbeat is up there, coming daily from the Liberals and their media mouthpieces (fun fact: a lot of Canadian media outlets get federal funds to keep from going under).

That would be women in general. As a visual aid in understanding watch any one of those videos where some woman is swatting, poking, hitting, screaming at some guy and some point he gets tired of her shit, hauls off and decks her. Pay particular attention to the surprised look on her face as she gets immediate education in the Tyson Principle.
That is how women are, they aren't wired like men to deal with a violent world; they have lived under the Women Are Wonderful social protective shield and feel like they will never experience the violent consequences of their bullshit.
For further reference the ICE agent who shot that women in the face for trying to run him over. Complete and Total Surprise. Thought that killing him would be OK and that there wouldn't be a violent response.

There are Rabbis who consider Eve eating the forbidden fruit and speculate that she likened Adam as the favorite son of a powerful, wealthy oligarch and Adam was the forever recipient of his father's benevolence and never would have to work or be challenged—that was Adam in the Garden.
So the Serpent gave her plan to test and see if Adam could stand on his own two feet and be his own man, so she ate the fruit and made sure he did to so that God would cast them out of the Garden and Adam could prove that he is the man that Eve could respect.
Notice that part of the curse is that women will not respect their husbands.

DataRepublican says she’s got her hands on thousands of transcripts and hundreds of recordings that point to an elaborate, coordinated effort to provoke a constitutional crisis right after the 2026 midterms.
Basically, this would be a CIA-style color revolution on our own soil, in real time.
From DR’s reporting, the goal is to create enough confrontation and unrest that President Trump is forced to invoke the Insurrection Act, then use his response to undermine the legitimacy of the federal government and shift political authority to Dem governors.

At this point, it is profoundly expensive rearranging deck chairs on the Titanic.
Why spend a trillion dollars annually for the ability to bomb some shithole nation for no real practical value and allow the nation to crumble completely from within by the Communists who have taken over?
Its like taking a termite infested house, a year or two away from completely collapse, and sprucing up the yard and fixing the chimney.

They've done a great job of making people forget for example that the KKK's principal target was Republicans.

So the bottom quintile and the fourth quintile make about the same money.
But the fourth quintile works. (my guess is more than 40/wk)
Seems to me these people should be voting for (R) ideas 100% of the time, but alas, they seem to follow (D) ideas.
Where are the (R) leaders?

I've been fixated on Turnout and I expect it will break our way strongly in most places.
Even honest polls miss shifts in Turnout, as they rely on historic patterns. e.g., they failed in 2016 to see how Trump got the white working class to turnout.
If I'm right, Blakeman will be the next NYS governor. If I'm really right Saritha will be the next NYS AG.

Watching the last few months, where the western world was completely unable to react to global events and defend their own shipping lanes in contrast to the US just bitch slapping major regional players with little loss of life and equipment and deciding, "We don't need to be able to project power better than the rest of the world. There's no need," is quite the take.
Demanding that the US not be the hegemon is demanding regional hegemons competing with each other.
It's demanding the rise of Carthage against Rome as being preferable to the Pax Romana. It's demanding more warfare worldwide as more players are even in capacity and can choose to fight.
The reason we had the Pax Americana was because of our massive military superiority over the rest of the world. Just because our leadership decided to squander it with the end of the Cold War doesn't negate the positive effects of being the sole superpower.

Income transfer, welfare, and interest on the debt take a lot more than the DOW.
That argument has the smell of:
"Honey, why are you spending so much money on collecting Beanie Babies"?
"We are paying far much more on our property taxes!"

So when the Catholic Church does that with its priests, it's horrible and must be stopped. But when schools do it, the cricket chorus is deafening.

While the trio in Michigan, Whitmer, Benson and Nessel may want to crank the vote fraud machine to 11, they'll face a couple of problems. The first is that a lot of Michigan Dems just won't support al-Sayed. That would create the need for even more obviously fraudulent votes. The second problem is that I'm sure that they've been told the Harmeet Dillon and her team will be on them like white on rice. We shall see

It's looking increasingly like Boomer libs thought early voting was a race to vote first and came out to vote early in early voting as fast as possible in pretty much every state.
Their leads are eroding faster and faster.
And months of talking up Talarico in TX just convinced Republicans in the state to take early voting seriously, too. North Dallas (heavily white) is turning out. South Dallas (heavily black) is not.

"We don't need to be able to project power better than the rest of the world. There's no need," is quite the take.
If the argument was simply "Why do we have a military" full stop, no context and that statement was hermetically sealed in a black bag stored in an under ground bunker, then your argument is sensible.
But it was packaged with when the US is one election away from being a Communist shithole or Islamic Caliphate. That eight hundred pound gorilla still needs your attention.
What good does projecting military power upon whoever Babylon DC feels a need to flex on, when the hosting nation can't even slay its domestic dragons which are of magnitudes greater threat than what Iran is doing to the SoH?

One is as a simple referendum on the issues and politicians of the day. The other involves a far deeper conflict of visions (as Thomas Sowell puts it): socialism versus capitalism, intrusive versus limited government, and the destruction of time-honored institutions and traditions versus their preservation and renewal.
====================
It is far simpler an election than all that for many. IMO, voters are asking themselves if they are better off than they were under Biden. Democrats scare voters, because they are all pretty much insane, but the GOP still has to make a positive case.

But the one I am sticking with is that Sayed is the lynchpin of the DNC-DSA op and therefore regardless of any other outcome anywhere else, will be willed into office.

Rarely in American history have the two parties been so far apart or the choice between them so stark. In brief, Islamist-sympathizing socialism is on the ballot against free-market capitalism and American exceptionalism.
-----
This is the oldest free market system in the world. The UK succumbed to socialism 50 years ago, leaving us as the grand old dame of capitalism.
The older & perennially more powerful of the two American parties became rabid socialists right around the same time.
For people my age, this is no rarity. Every election of my lifetime has been a battle of leftist authoritarianism against free-market capitalism and American exceptionalism. It's literally all I've ever known.

The Trump 2.0 administration has jailed and prosecuted hundreds of antia, getting landmark convictions and sentences of dozens of years per person in cased like the Texas antifa case where the 9 person cell tried to assassinate a cop.
The kid who just handed out leaflets got 30 years because he was part of the conspiracy.
There have been zero riots beyond lib boomers holding up hand-made No Kings signs.
Deportations are at historic highs. Rents are down because the deportations are so much.
But we shouldn't have a military because nothing is happening on the home front.

I asked whether showing - not going into the ring but all the setting up - would put her at greater risk. Conclusion of discussion: if it's going to happen, it's going to happen. May as well have it happen doing something you enjoy.

My other prediction is that the 2028 D nominee will not be a woman and definitely won't be Harris.
The operation against women this year appears designed to convince even liberal fucktard women that women can't be trusted in high leadership and/or can't win. It's like they want to get their side pregnant with the idea that a man is required for the next phase.
If Harris is the nominee my secondary prediction is that's because the whole thing is sewn up tight and she will be implanted in office. AOC could win a legitimate election against a real opponent - I don't think Harris can. Otherwise if the GE is going to be a genuine contest, they will be nominating a man.

My father was from a fishing village in Cork Ireland.
In the early 1600s, the English took over after a three-year siege of the local castle lorded over by a distant ancestor of mine. They installed loyal Protestants to take over all the good concessions including fishing and the occassional opportunistic piracy.
My peeps dropped a dime on this, and the Barbary pirates arrived one day and took hundreds of the Protestants away to galleys and brothels. It was the last large operation by the Barbaries in the British Isles.
There's a very nice pub in town called the Algiers Inn.

I always point out the muslims enslaved more people in history than America did, and still to this day enslaves people. The young lefties of my acquaintance think I am bullshitting them, and then I further point out the very first foreign war America ever engaged in was to free Christian slaves from muslim captors. They hate that.

There have been zero riots beyond lib boomers holding up hand-made No Kings signs.
Nothing says "Join the Cool Kids" than a bunch of shriveled up purple haired octogenarians shuffling around holding up signs they can't read (because of dementia, presbyopia, glaucoma and other ailments) saying "No Kings - [Yes Tyrants]"
Its like drawing aspiration to sloth and indulgence when observing a passed out druggie in the gutter.

>>But the one I am sticking with is that Sayed is the lynchpin of the DNC-DSA op and therefore regardless of any other outcome anywhere else, will be willed into office.
I don't think so. The problem Democrats have is that for years they have relied on identity politics to keep their various constituencies happy. There was always some friction because not all the groups are simpatico on all positions and the grievance pyramid had to be respected.
Bringing in Muslim candidates into a statewide race in a place like Michigan is exposing those fractures. As the Abdul staffer was caught yesterday saying on undercover video, Abdul can't condemn the Muslim Brotherhood because he will lose their support. He also can't pretend that their isn't huge friction between the black and Muslim communities and that is hurting Abdul in places like Detroit.
I think Rogers wins and might not even be that close.

Like I said, my Sayed prediction looks pretty bad right now. I just don't see the point of it if not to get him into office.

A symbolic transfer of power to Muslims in France happened a few months ago.
The national soccer team coach was Didier Deschamps This guy embodies everything French. Look at a picture of him and it’s like yeah that dude is as French as one gets.
He retired and will be replaced by Zinadine Zidane. Born in France to Algerian parents. He’s probably most famous for head butting an Italian player in the 2006 final and getting ejected.
How French is he? His son plays for the Algerian team, that’s how French he is.
France’s team is already almost all non-French so not a shocking move. But having the coach now also an Arab is another milestone. Perfect timing as well given the “troubles”.

The Democrat Party is not a monolith, and major factions fought over the primary race in MI.
Establishment like Schumer (and black leaders) backed doughy white girl. More extreme elements backed El-Sayed.
Primary is low turnout, so it advantaged the more engaged side.
Democrats also don't cast aside primary winners publicly like Mitch did with O'Donnell in Delaware. They, bare minimum, provide rhetorical support to try and normalize them.
It doesn't have to be a conspiratorial plan hatched years ago. It can just be making the best of a situation they didn't plan for.

Reading the Data republican stuff and I realize something.
The insane, baseless lawsuits against Trump were never about stopping Trump--they were about finding a core group of judges who will do anything the left says.
Covid, J6 and the prosecution of Trump proved that the vast majority of Republicans will never defy the judiciary no matter how egregious or unlawful they act.
That also proved Democrats will support whatever they judiciary does, as long as it advances the left.
They weren't burning down the legitimacy of the judiciary with these ever more histrionic and fleck-speckled orders:
It was a loyalty test.
And now they have 3-5 judges who will do, say, and order anything the left asks, no matter how illegal, unconstitutional or outrageous.
And a trigger they can pull anytime on a gun aimed at the heart of America.

But go back and look at the Democrat Senate primary in Michigan. Days before the election polls were dropping showing Abdul with a double digit lead over Haley. He ended up beating her by 1 point and she was a terrible candidate. He didn't even get 50% of the Democrat vote.
The media has been pumping up perceived support for Abdul of a year but the reality of his campaign appears to be much weaker. And Rogers is running a good campaign.
Toss in Harmeet and her team finally getting serious about election integrity and I think Rogers has a very strong chance of winning.

224 They also have the advantage of the establishment media not kicking up a fuss over one or two candidates and painting every other candidate in the country from the same party with the same brush. And demanding each and every one of the latter disavow the candidate(s) for whom the media kicked up a fuss.

National Review will have columns about how Ken Paxton isn't the right man for the job because he was acquitted at an impeachment trial, but the NYT will act like El-Sayed having direct ties to foreign terrorist organizations is no big deal.

Detroit will find enough mail in ballots at 4am to put Sayed over the top. Just like what happened in 2024 with Slotkin. She won by 20k votes out of 5M.

215 Oh! And one more thing, since we are on the topic. If you do pushups on your knees, keep your booty in line with your shoulders, hips tucked under to remove a u shape in your lower back, and your heels as tight to your seat as you can manage, without crossing your ankles. If your booty is up in the air, you are doing nothing. 😊. Seat low, elbows to a 45. Or hands right under your shoulders if you want to add fun tricep work. Or diamond out your finger tips for tripceps. So many options you can’t get bored!

This from the man who sent his Internal Revenue Service after Tea Party protesters,
. . . and businesses like Gibson guitars, closed Ford dealerships whose owners supported Republicans, wiretapped journalists, harassed Little Sisters of the Poor, and oh yeah, forced border gun shops to sell guns to a Mexican cartel so that the subsequent hundreds of deaths could be used to put gun dealers out of business.
There are so many examples of Obama specifically targeting his political enemies, big and small, that we could do multiple posts on it. It defined his presidency

Walking is weight bearing exercise. Is the walking you do of varying speeds? Varying terrains? Can you zig zag to your destination without being hauled into HR for a drug test?
Walking for exercise is great. A leisurely walk isn’t going to quite do it for you, but if you can vary you speeds, and even better, add some muscle work into the walk like squats and lunges every 2-3 minutes on a 60 minute walk. Think a set of 10 reps each time. Build up to this if needed, obviously, and vary your squat types. Maybe alternate lunges, reverse lunges, curtsey lunges, etc.

Election monitoring is fine and good but useless in the modern era.
The fraud today isn’t old school ballot stuffing. It’s registering phantom voters and illegals who then vote by mail. The votes are “legal” when they show up to be counted.

Democrats own the legal apparatus. They have enough Constitution-hating federal judges who issue Soviet-style secret decisions like those unleashing Smith’s abuses, billions in annual pro-bono work stored up from the world’s biggest law firms, the entire pipeline of law schools and post-school fellowships, and much of the Department of so-called Justice.
The public faces of their legal warfare like Slotkin and Marc Elias have already boldly divulged underway efforts to double down on scorched-earth prosecutions of anyone who ever worked for a Republican once Democrats retake at least the House in two weeks. Based on their history, we know these prosecutions will be entirely political and based on falsified evidence.

Cannot recommend the Joy Pullman essay at the Federalist highly enough, on Slutkin's speech at Chicago. Pullman puts it to Thune, that useless pool boy, saying he at the very least needs to censure Slutkin. She also sticks it to the lawfare judges the Democrats have lined up, and by extension, it is a reasonable inference to criticize that fool John Roberts, who refuses to admit the federal judiciary has a serious TDS problem.
