The Morning Report — 10/28 /26
The cause and effect are obvious: The Trump team made fighting crime a top priority — a reversal from the “criminal justice reform” emphasis of Joe Biden and #Defund Democrats — and got the expected results. Per Justice Department’s National Crime Victimization Survey, 2025 saw 2.16 million violent incidents — down from 2.83 million in 2024, for the largest single-year drop since 1973. . . . Democrat mayors are trying to claim credit for last year’s marked decline in violent crime, yet the staggering 25% drop was nationwide and came in the first year of President Donald Trump’s new term. The cause and effect are obvious: The Trump team made fighting crime a top priority — a reversal from the “criminal justice reform” emphasis of Joe Biden and #Defund Democrats — and got the expected results.And despite the ups and downs of oil and energy prices as a result of the ongoing conflict with Iran, it ultimately will stabilize and no doubt drop to lower costs as it has always done in the past in the wake of the geopolitical crisis du jour that caused the spike in the first place. So on that note, there's this item.
President Donald Trump will announce an EPA proposal on Tuesday evening gutting Biden-era regulations that placed strict limits on methane emissions from oil and gas drilling operations, the Washington Free Beacon has learned. Methane is released during the flaring of natural gas, which takes place at oil drilling operations that lack expensive capture technology. For years, environmentalists and Democrats have called for stricter regulations, including rules barring flaring, that target methane, which activists refer to as a "super pollutant" and is more potent than carbon dioxide. Overall, Tuesday's action removing methane regulations—which represents the latest major energy-related announcement Trump has made in the run-up to the upcoming midterm election—is projected to save Americans $45 billion in energy costs and lead to an extra 210 million barrels of oil and 1.41 trillion cubic feet of natural gas produced nationwide, a Trump EPA official briefed on the announcement told the Free Beacon.Oh please. This is an abject crock of shit. If methane were so lethal then how is it that the human population jumped to roughly 8 billion from an estimated 1.25 billion in 1850, which was about the start of the Industrial Revolution, when oil, coal and natural gas were produced and burned wherever civilization and human progress progressed! Therefore, If you love your children burn fossil fuels.
Here’s a question someone should ask climate expert Greta Thunberg today. What if global warming is preventing the next ice age? Wouldn’t that be a good thing for children everywhere?Of course all of this sanity could come screeching to a halt should the midterms be whole or in part taken by the Dems and certainly should a non-MAGA aligned Republican not come out on top in 2028 and for every election afterwards and our educational system not be purged of the Leftists from Pre-K through Post-Graduate. And when I say the midterms TAKEN by the Dems I mean that quite literally.
Turns out, a new study published in the highly respected journal Science says that might be exactly what’s happening right now.
The study, which goes by the unassuming title of “Late Holocene re-expansion of the Laurentide Ice Sheet,” asks whether “anthropogenic warming prevented the next glacial cycle” and finds that “it may have done just that.”
In a 2-1 decision handed down Monday, the Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals denied the Justice Department’s emergency request to pull those ballots out of the count while the voters’ eligibility is reviewed. The majority wrote that the government’s urgency was partly of its own making. Judge Patrick Bumatay dissented, arguing the federal government has a sovereign interest in protecting federal elections. The fight started October 15, when the DOJ sued California over a list of more than 20,000 registered voters that federal agencies had flagged as likely noncitizens. Prosecutors wanted the state to verify each name or keep those ballots separate from the rest. California refused, disputing both the underlying data and the short deadline it was given. Federal prosecutor Bill Essayli said the state made a stunning admission at a hearing a day earlier. According to Essayli, California told the court it does nothing to independently check the citizenship of its voters, and that any ballot already cast by a noncitizen would be counted if the judges did not step in. He said that is why his office asked for the emergency order, arguing that illegal votes dilute legal ones.And so it goes my friends...

JJ… I’m not so sure that the Iran situation is really the major thing driving energy prices at this point. I think a bigger culprit is the Ukraine conflict with both sides blowing up the other’s energy infrastructure… which I think is why diesel prices are so high now.
Maybe I’m wrong

Methane emissions from natural wetlands exceeds one-third of global budget. Termites, lakes, oceans, wildfires account for another ten-percent or more. Rice cultivation is between 5-8%.
So likely converting wetlands into rice fields or into something the Environmentalists hate brought down methane. Adding humans increased landfill and sewage (now 10-13%). Swapping out millions of bison for cattle is probably a wash.

President Trump did a great job with the SAVE Act. He pushed it well, pressured the Republican-controlled Congress to pass it, but they didn't.
I can't blame President Trump for it.
But I can blame the Republican Congress for it. And since they are unwilling to do what is necessary to protect free and fair elections, then they must lose. Because they are the enemy of the citizens, along with their Democrat cohorts.
So fuck the Republicans.

“The schools, particularly the medical schools, are hanging on to DEI, like survivors on a shipwreck, and they’re hoping for a rescue…. They’re not giving it up.”
The solution is simple. No staff member of any medical school is allowed to seek treatment from any non minority doctor. Let them bask in the glow of fairness as they meet a doctor that only passed because she was the right skin tone.

For Congress, it's like a choice at the closing of a bar. Go with the mousy liberal with a herpes sore on her lips, or take the very fat GOPe girl with face tackle?
Maybe we should not be in that bar in the first place. Can we avoid that by swamping the GOPe organization and getting better candidates.

Birth Control Is Not A Solution To Teen Girls’ Period Problems
--
It is unconscionable that a doctor would prescribe birth control for the various conditions listed in that article.
Birth control, or I should say, how long a woman has been on birth control and stopped the ovulation process is a risk factor in some forms of breast cancer. Why take these for anything other than their intended purpose and increase that risk?

And this problem is fault of fake Republicans, who won’t besides being useless piles of dog shit on the legislative front, won’t even recess so Trump can make some recess appointments.
Five fake Republicans. Three are leaving at the end of this year.
Senate Majority Leader Thune is most likely part of the conspiracy revealed by DataRepublican.
The top two factions are: Communists and Conservatives.
Its the term Conservative that you should question.
They want to conserve the status quo of grift, regulatory capture and cranking out Cantillionaires through inside trades and pumping trillions of new debt into the economy.
Pick your choice of death: a shotgun blast to the head, or bleeding out from a knife wound.

Minnesota’s state demographer reports that 84 percent of people of Somali ancestry in the state received Medicaid, SNAP, or cash assistance from 2019 to 2023, though the data capture only about 70 percent of that population.
The standardized difference between Minnesota Somali and U.S. White composite scores is estimated at about 0.99 standard deviations, with a tentative endorsement of roughly 0.99 after a 50% correction for English language familiarity.
So actually around 2 standard deviations.

Blaming the entire Republican Party for the deceit and corruption of a few is a mistake. There are plenty of good Republicans in DC. The SAVE Act did pass the House. The problem is a few fake Republicans in the Senate. Lisa Murkowski just endorsed a Democrat for governor of Alaska. Tillis is gone. Cornyn is gone.
The primaries are about getting rid of bad Republicans. The general is about beating communists. Don't cut off your nose to spite your face.
Look at Brazil. Once communists take over your vote is meaningless. Vote against the communists.

I'm starting to see what looks like the old Democrat playbook of running a 3rd party candidate in the SC Senate race. Some guy I've never heard of has started running ads touting himself as the right choice over "hand-picked" Darline Graham and the Democrat. I figure they're going to try and siphon enough votes away from those holding their noses to vote for Graham just enough to put Andrews over the line. Of course, every single poll shows them in a "tight race" and running neck and neck. So bring in the 3rd party nobody.

He happened to be well-spoken enough to mouth the commie platitudes he had learned in college (around his toking) and they needed a black face to get their team across the finish line.

Do you want to see the inspiring message Democrat "leaders" are sending their people just before election day? It's not about policy, it's about Trump trying to steal the election.
No matter how the vote goes next Tuesday they are trying to delegitimize Trump and MAGA. If they lose it's because Trump stole it. If they win, they could have won bigger if not for Trump trying to steal it. That's what they are preparing for.
You owe no allegiance to an illegitimate government.

Much of the GOP is pathetic, fair enough. But when it’s general election time, it is absolutely essential to vote for even the scummiest republican because the Dem they’re running against is even worse. The purity tests only apply in primaries. Susan Collins drives me nuts but she voted for Kavanaugh and she’s better by far than the commie sympathizer Jackson.
One exception to this rule might be Murkowski but I believe she labels herself an independent now. Even with her, at the very least she caucuses with the republicans so she helps keep the chamber in the right hands (note: not an endorsement of Thune is a recognition that Schumer is controlled by commies)

• State primaries: Determines if you have safe elections, sanctuaries, taxes. A Bad Secretary of State can nullify your vote.
• Federal primaries: This is how you get Paxton and not Cornyn
• General Election: Communists vs Not-Communist

It's designed to "work" regardless how the midterms play out. Win or lose... it will be seen as a inflection point that demands action. Riots.
Riots because they lost. Riots because they didn't win big enough. Riots because Trump's still in office. Etc.
Whether this plays out as the left thinks it will is debatable, but whether they attempt another coup is not. And it will be interesting, in a clinical sort of way to see how the administration reacts. Given that they've certainly had ample warning.

I disagree. You have to be willing to step up. If I can overcome my shyness and run for office and win (my first election by 56 votes), anyone here can.
Yes, even Bulg. His constituent service to busty voters would be stunningly effective.

Thanks. Ditto. I quit reading sci fi more or less because most of the new stuff is woke dreck apart from indy self publishers. And a lot of those like to serialize a series to maximize reader engagement because there is no more market for short stories that pay enough to bother with it nowadays.
Since Obama years, pretty much only read non fiction nowadays.

Ro Khanna defends his "wealth tax" on billionaires: "You didn't build this money yourself. Yeah, you were entrepreneurial, you had some genius, you worked hard, but we also had the government fund the Internet. We had govt fund AI research. We had govt fund universities.
The Wealth Tax is about the $55T in home equity and $30 T in Retirement Plans that Big Govt wants to own.

I think a lot of people misread the bubbling plot to overthrow the government.
It's designed to "work" regardless how the midterms play out. Win or lose... it will be seen as a inflection point that demands action. Riots.
Riots because they lost. Riots because they didn't win big enough. Riots because Trump's still in office. Etc.
Whether this plays out as the left thinks it will is debatable, but whether they attempt another coup is not. And it will be interesting, in a clinical sort of way to see how the administration reacts. Given that they've certainly had ample warning.

1) Many of the people getting those pills ARE using them for their intended purpose. The regulatory (cycles, etc.) purpose is a smoke screen for their morals.
2) Many doctors are progressive and think of the body as a mere machine, which they can regulate with chemicals. Pills and shots for EVERYTHING! Including making menstruation easier and less troublesome, or "fixing" things where those hormones might make a woman uncomfortable.

The theory behind universal suffrage is that the average voter votes for average candidates who promises them the most stuff.
When voters had real skin in the game (e.g. white male property owners who have responsibilities and ambition) then they would vote for the most capable.

Remember:
All the left does is lie.
In Lubbock, both Trump and Talarico had rallies yesterday.
Trump at the Civic Center.
Talarico at (la) Fiesta.
Talarico lied and said he had 4k in there.
Lefties are all crowing how it was more than Trump a "few miles away."
The venue officially has a max capacity of 2.5-2.6k (and they'd have to be packed assholes to elbows to fit that many).
Trump?
Near 5k in the main hall where he spoke.
With a total of near 15k inside and around the venue.

I was listening to James O'Keeffe talking about why so many of his stings are on gay guys (he gets made fun of by the Left a lot for that).
He said something interesting, that confirmed a long held belief of mine.
He said that yes, gays are a bit chattier than his straight targets, but that most everyone in DC is amazingly loose-lipped, so it's not that. It's just that, in his estimation, at least 40% of people inside the Beltway are gay, most of them closeted.
This was just an offhanded remark during a longer answer to a different question, but it lines up with my own suspicions.

Impossible. You can't have good candidates if you also have universal suffrage.
ref: Tocqueville, Mill, Mencken, et al
Posted by: Community Notes
De Tocqueville does not say that. What he did say when he observed the politics in US during his visit is that there were no great political parties in the US at that time but were in the past. Tocqueville's observations are useful in many cases but his view that political parties in his day in the US were transactional comes from a Euro tradition where there was the king's party supporting the aristos and the opposition (that is where he gets his great principled party idea). Think Tories and Whigs in Britain.
Mencken was a misanthrope and hardly a systematic political philosopher. Mills had his own issues and was essentially a hot house thinker with little actual contact with the politics of his time.
I would recommend reading James Madison (associated works) and John Adams (Defense of the Constitutions of the United States books) instead. Both wrestle with human nature, past American experiences, and placing the US in context among the great debates on politics since ancient Greece.

One the one hand, assuming this is true, hooray that some of them have broken their shackles at long last.
OTOH, Democrats already hate Jews and are the party most comfortable with using violence against whatever it dislikes.

in the 2-1 decision to let CA cheat, in the trial court the cartel judge is totally not biased.
He ended the hearing yesterday warning the DOJ to stop saying illegally voting is a federal crime and those that illegally vote will be prosecuted.
So, you can guess which way the cartel judge is going to rule--no matter how much evidence there is of illegally registered votes illegally voting.
Because his feelz is the law, not the law.
And he feelz the browns should be able to vote no matter how many laws say it's illegal for them to vote.
You stupids would understand that if you were smart enough to get in to Harvard.

They're using primary participation as the gauge for party registration, since the state doesn't party register.
More Democrats voted in the primary in TX than Republicans did.
So, if you use that flag, it looks like Democrats are outvoting Republicans.
Do people really think that the average voter who didn't vote in the primaries in Texas this year leans left?
It's just bad analysis.

I doubt you can ever get a 'benevolent dictator' because there is no escape from 'politics'. A dictator can 'freeze' normal politics for a time but they all die eventually and politics resumes whether you are discussing Franco, Pinochet, etc. etc. because there is no permanent victory in politics whether communists, etc.
Eventually internal contradictions cause all government regimes to fail but a system that builds in local autonomy and flexibility through multiple redundancy, um, much like Federalism, fares better to recover faster from a regime failure than any centralized system in the long run. Has to do with a pool of leadership.

Notice: No one is talking about FL potentially being close anymore.
Why? Because there's no game to play with party flags from primary participation. There's just party registration.
And the picture in early voting in FL is very, very stark. FL Republicans already have a lead in early voting, and voting day is going to be heavily Republican. The Democrats have no chance.
What are the odds that Texas, which is almost as far to the right as Florida is, is so completely different that Democrats win statewide there for the first time in more than 30 years?

About a couple of bishops complaining about being used by Trump.
You can be a deeply flawed person and still be a great leader (e.g. King David). You can be a perfectly nice person and lead people to moral catastrophe. Their Excellencies took Trump to task over immigration. Trump isn't stopping immigration, he's enforcing the laws that we have. I regularly see whiny-ass statements that if you don't support more welfare spending, you're not a good Christian. But nobody is suggesting we let people starve or die. We're talking shades, not colors.
But, for Catholics, you cannot vote for a candidate - no matter how "nice" otherwise - who espouses objectively wrong policies like abortion or homosexual marriage, completely contrary to doctrine. But you never hear of bishops condemning Democratic politicians for whom these are political dogma.

They're using primary participation as the gauge for party registration, since the state doesn't party register.
Most of what I've seen centers around Tarrant County (Fort Worth) which is the "most populous red county in Texas" and where, as TJM noted, "Democrats" are outvoting "Republicans".

"Past performance is no guarantee of future results."
This morning, Harris County has reported that 742,000 early voters have shown up at the polls through yesterday. For comparison, about 205,000 early voters showed up in November 2025, and 1,176,000 early voters showed up for November 2024.

A dictator can 'freeze' normal politics for a time but they all die eventually and politics resumes whether you are discussing Franco, Pinochet, etc. etc. because there is no permanent victory in politics whether communists, etc.
That assumes that the Benevolent Dictator also "freezes" normal politics. Obama's and Biden's Handlers/Auto-Pen, and PDJT each managed to transform the political environment. The former by brute force and the police powers of the state, the latter by a mix of police powers (expelling illegal aliens) pacifying the Western Hemisphere, SoH, and via decentralization and deregulation.
In two years, there has been a huge transformation in Babylon DC. Imagine what life would be like with the removal of the tyrannical judges and gross levels of fraud that have bankrupted and demoralized the nation. When the Dictator leaves, they leave a different environment behind.
You are talking about placeholders that freeze things for a few years.
That assumes that the Benevolent Dictator also "freezes" normal politics. Obama's and Biden's Handlers/Auto-Pen, and PDJT each managed to transform the political environment. The former by brute force and the police powers of the state, the latter by a mix of police powers (expelling illegal aliens) pacifying the Western Hemisphere, SoH, and via decentralization and deregulation.

Automated license plate readers have become a political flashpoint. No one talks about the dozens of children they’ve rescued.
You can also argue that if the Gov't could intrude into everybody's home, like the CCP does, you could save even more children. The left has used the trope of "even if it saves one child" as an excuse to go after each and every one of our freedoms, especially our 2nd Amendment God-given right of self-protection. Gov't cannot be trusted; Gov't is only interested in its own power.
It's also our selfsame Gov't that also allowed illegal children to be trafficked by purposefully not following up on what happened to them. That allowed for the transgendering of children while hiding it from parents, or worse, taking away parental rights in the name of greedy hospitals.

Being a bonesmoker or rugmuncher was instant disqualification from clearance work. Too blackmailable. Little impulse control.
Even though they often used honey traps, the KGB loved finding homosexuals in the US government, but not for the blackmail. The theory was that gays would bear a secret resentment to society and would thus be more willing to betray it.

in the 2-1 decision to let CA cheat, in the trial court the cartel judge is totally not biased.
He ended the hearing yesterday warning the DOJ to stop saying illegally voting is a federal crime and those that illegally vote will be prosecuted.
So, you can guess which way the cartel judge is going to rule--no matter how much evidence there is of illegally registered votes illegally voting.
Because his feelz is the law, not the law.
And he feelz the browns should be able to vote no matter how many laws say it's illegal for them to vote.
You stupids would understand that if you were smart enough to get in to Harvard.

People used to read anthologies and genre writers could place decent paying stories in publications at the time whether in Mystery, Sci Fi, or Fantasy. Those have disappeared along with most magazines nowadays.
Perhaps they will return, mebbe they will not. And writers who are doing it for a living or even as a side gig are not going to do much with short stories that don't pay as they often take as much if not longer time to polish than a book does.
I am aware of the constraints on writers but serialization means inevitably you start getting repetition, regurgitation of past events in other books, and a stacking effect where the challenges have to get greater and greater. That in part is why a fair chunk of serials deal with a military career as they rise in rank (or like Monster Hunter world or Jim Butcher's Dresden series, a career type progression where the threats get greater and greater scaling upwards to "ludicrous speed)".

230 Tarrant County demographics - it may be the most populous “red county” in Texas, but it’s only 52% white. 30% Hispanic, 17% black.

30% Hispanic?
Go ahead and talk shit about The Virgin Mary and then ask them for their vote.

Most hispanics consider themselves white because they all think they came directly from Spain.

Back in the day I had to get a clearance for some work I was doing... Fed stuff.
The preliminary investigation was fine. But the actual interview with an investigator was... a bit chilling. He was very specific with certain lines of questioning. About stuff that went down when I was a teenager.
At the time... that would have been 20 years in the past.

He ended the hearing yesterday warning the DOJ to stop saying illegally voting is a federal crime and those that illegally vote will be prosecuted.

Impeach this vile POS! His ruling qualifies as 'misconduct' and as such all it should take is simple majorities in both the House and Senate to remove his corrupt corpus.

Yep. If you had asked the same question in the US colonies after the French and Indian War, the result would probably be even fewer supporting independence from Britain. Took over a decade for repeated insolence and mistreatment by Britain to create enough dissatisfied people to strike out for independence.
Carney is leading Canada into a financial implosion as he is destroying existing markets for Canadian goods in the US without an adequate replacement as neither EU nor China want competition for their own economies.
Things are going to get much worse economically in Canada until they figure out how to replace the US as a market. The obverse is simply not nearly as big an issue for the US as we are seeing.

The purposefully bad polling is part of an attempted Color Revolution. It's gotten histrionic with increasingly absurd claims.
Meanwhile, I'm seeing believable news about how many Jews are now voting Republican.

Morning, news folken,
I'm out at my favorite coffee shop having a dark roast and some breakfast. Going to run some errands afterward.
On the Tech Thread I mentioned that the NIST site time.gov is not displaying any times on my laptop or my desktop at home. I just checked on the website here at the coffee shop. Same problem. I've cleared my cache and cookies; I have no VPN running. I can visit the library and see if I get the same problem. If I don't, that would mean my machines are the issue. What else could I try?

1. The Israeli polls were hilariously off. I guess we're supposed to see riots that lead to communist utopia any moment now in Tel Aviv.
2. Ethnic polling is...fraught with problems. Has been for years. Stemming from the fact that it's REALLY hard to get representative samples. With the Jewish population, I'd suspect it's damn near impossible. I take that result with a big grain of salt.

270 I saw the stupidest defense of Nate "insider trading" Silver.
See, he may miss elections, the defense went, but he is dead-on with his "vibes" every time.
Which proof cited is, in the elections he missed, he hedged his predictions, which hedge turned out correct, so that means he accurately tapped into the "vibe."
Uh-huh.
See if you can guess where this "defense" is going?
If you guessed, "and this election, he's seeing no "vibe" for the Rs" you'd be right.
(Even though, like every year, Nate has already hedged his predictions for this year)
Posted by: People's Hippo Voice

He is a clown dancing for his audience which is leftist mainstream media outlets and his leftist subscribers. Mark Mitchell and Baris are similar peddling bullshit to those willing to pay to hear it or watch ads/etc that pay them indirectly via engagement farming.
Sean Trende has put on a clown nose now too because his job at RCP depends on him defending the idiotic averaging techniques of Real Clear Politics as mass media pollsters quickly figured out by throwing in outlier polls, they could move the average to Democrats while there are no GOP equivalent pollsters producing similar outliers.

Only including good pollsters, for instance. That was his mantra and what built up the RCP aggregate as worthwhile.
But he includes Baris in his averages, and Baris probably doesn't even poll at all.
And Trende's defense of the polling industry has gotten comical at this point. "Just throw completely contradictory results in the average because who knows?"

I agree with everything you wrote.
After losing employment and taking SS, I've dabbled in writing as I've said here before.
There is almost no place to send short stories anymore. I had one contest winner - thanks to people here - that was going to be published, but the editor's wife got sick and the magazine was shut down. I get nothing now from it.
I don't like the idea of series either as I see it as a cheap way to write. But, the market is dictating otherwise as this time, so I have five books I'm writing in the same universe. Don't like it, but have no choice.*

In this case, it is due primarily to GOPe senators that refuse to recess allowing Trump to fill in offices in blue areas and the idiotic blue slip policy that Grassley follows in the Senate Judiciary that permits Senate Democrats to veto all Trump appointees in their state preventing the GOP Senate from voting to fill them.
The probably unconstitutional law (after the Slaughter decision) allowing judges to fill DA vacancies then would never have come into play absent the disgusting turds of the Senate Leadership and their cowardly cronies in the caucus letting them refuse to recess.
