The Morning Report — 11/6/26

CrystalDSA.jpg

Good morning kids. Three days later and my anxiousness about the future has not subsided. In fact, given who has now secured a majority in Congress and in many state houses across the country, including places I had thought were relatively if not absolutely safe from the mass wave of insanity that has swept across the land, this item does not exactly fill me with strength and confidence.

A despicable Nov. 8 protest against Jewish-owned restaurants in Philadelphia proves that the alleged bright line between antizionism and antisemitism is a dirty lie.

Philly bicycle activism group On Your Left is launching a bike-by protest in support of Boycott CookNSolo drive to shut down six restaurants in the tony Rittenhouse Square neighborhood, all owned by Jews.

“These Zionist establishments must go! Not in our city!” On Your Left demands.

These eateries, it says, must “die,” along with the “political ideology of Zionism.”

Zionists? Of the four restaurant owners called out by name for death or expulsion, one is Israeli-American; the other three are American Jews, but that’s all boycotters need to know.

One target, Marti Lieberman, who runs a popular mac’n’cheese spot, explains that her business has nothing to do with Jews, Israel or Zionism — except that she sometimes

So, for the boycotters, simply being Jews is enough to make these people “disgusting humans” who should be driven out of business.

More damning still: The protest date, Nov. 8, coincides closely with the 88th anniversary of Kristallnacht — the “Night of Broken Glass,” when Nazi thugs burned more than 1,400 synagogues and destroyed thousands of Jewish businesses.

The organizers admit they knew this, but excuse themselves their event is the day before Kristallnacht.

They even have the gall to call their critics “cynical” for conflating antizionism and antisemitism — even as they’re treating all Jews as Zionists and therefore subhuman.

And on the eve of the blackest days in the history of pogroms: They’re barely even pretending not to be Nazis anymore.

So yes this is an absolutely horrific story but what does this have to do with last Tuesday and what can it portend for the average American?

Well you can bet your ass that every one of these bastards on wheels is a Democrat Socialist and for the past three years have been cheering and ululating with glee at the video footage of Jewish babies roasted alive in front of their gang-raped parents before they too were butchered . . . pausing only to cheer on Luigi Mangione before pissing on the grave of Charlie Kirk.

And now come January we have this coming up...

Last night, Americans made a clear call for accountability and affordability. A body politic cannot recover until its harms have been treated and its wounds have been healed. Crimes against our people and our Constitution must be answered for. The historic abuses of the last two years must be prevented from happening again. …

Additional examples include Sen. Chuck Schumer stating, “You have to go after the corruption” and that Democrats would “launch investigations, take him to court and entangle him in legislative razor wire.” Sen. Ed Markey posted on X, “They are going to need to plant new forests for all of the subpoenas we’ll be printing.” Celebrity and longtime Trump hater Rosie O’Donnell crowed, “The Trump regime is over… Let the investigations begin, people. This is a glorious day… We’ve had enough.”... The post-Trump era begins now.

Crimes against our people and our Constitution must be answered for. What she means is, Trump and MAGA Americans have been an unforgiveable obstacle not only to a Hillary presidency – for which she will never forgive us – but also to permanent, one-party Democrat power, and they must be punished. (The “Constitution” part of her statement is purely for show, to maintain the illusion that Democrats respect the Constitution. In actuality, they see it as a “living document” which should be modified or rolled back as needed to accommodate the Left’s lust for power.)...This is the party, you will remember, that has vowed to defund the police and abolish ICE. It is the party that throws open the prisons to release felons of color back on the streets. The party that threw open the border to millions of illegal aliens to change voter demographics. The party that fights tooth and nail to make voter ID unnecessary, if not forbidden, at the polls. The party that defends looting as reparations and rioting as the “language of the unheard.” The party that gleefully celebrates the murder of Charlie Kirk and made a folk hero out of the assassin of healthcare CEO Brian Johnson. This is the party that voted into the Senate a Muslim Brotherhood operative, that covers for a Muslim Congresswoman guilty of immigration fraud, that welcomes America-hating socialists into its “big tent.” The party that physically assaults conservative students on campus. That carries out obvious widespread voter fraud but accuses Trump of wanting to eliminate or rig elections.

Yes they are going to go after President Trump and his entire cabinet, advisers, allies and staff. And as we had discussed at length over the last few weeks the disgusting remarks and intentions of this Elissa Slutnik SLotktn whatever in doing everything in her power to discourage any young person from seeking a job in the remaining two years of the Trump administration but more crucially in even thinking about being aligned with the MAGA movement and conservatism.

So Psaki-Psircling back to what happened in Philadelphia, all of the above takes on particularly sinister undertones and even overtones insofar as the real "enablers" of the evil DOnald Trump are not his advisers and Cabinet but all of us who voted to put him in office not once but three times in a row 2020 turning out the way it did.

So, if you want to take Hillary's, Wyden's, Schumer's and all the rest of their blather to the logical conclusion, if you want to prevent another Donald Trump from ever appearing again, the only solution for the Democrat Left is to do what their predecessors and kindred political spirits in Germany did 80 years ago, that is have a FINAL solution for all of us who voted for Trump and against them.

Given what the Democrat/Leftists have unleashed on America since Trump descended the golden Trump Tower escalator 11 years ago and really since their accursed party came into existence, there really is nothing to stop them, or is there?

Democrat Richard Ojeda, who defeated Rep. Richard Hudson (R-NC), chairman of the National Republican Congressional Committee (NRCC), in Tuesday’s midterm elections, expressed a willingness to physically assault President Donald Trump’s deputy chief of staff Stephen Miller, saying he would be happy to go to jail for doing so. “Stephen Miller needs to be thumped. That guy’s a friggin’ worm,” Ojeda said. “I would be willing to go to jail for. I mean, how much would I get for just cracking him a couple times?”

Meh, given who takes control come January, and perhaps in 2029, this goon needn't lose a wink of sleep. Just freaking wow...

On Thursday, November 5, Newsom announced that he would commute the death sentences of all 548 inmates on California's death row to life imprisonment without the possibility of parole. The sweeping decision, made during his final months in office, affects some of the state's most notorious convicted murderers and has sparked outrage among the public, the victims' families, and prosecutors.

For families who spent years seeking justice, the horrible decision raises a troubling question: Should one governor's personal opposition to the death penalty outweigh the sentences handed down by juries, reviewed by the courts, and a death penalty system that California voters chose to retain in 2016? I do not think so at all.

And look what else they have up their sleeves!

After all New York candidates endorsed by the far-left Democratic Socialists of America were elected during the midterms, Democratic Socialists of America (DSA) New York City Mayor Zohran Mamdani is likely to face renewed pressure to adopt a more hard-left law and order strategy.

Well, ICE is already in their crosshairs. Not just the persecution of ICE officers for the crimes against humanity of securing our borders and deporting illegal alien invaders but now the actual wholesale abolition and dismantling of the agency itself.Yeah that's the ticket!

Convicted Death Squad Leader Ashrafuzzaman Khan Sighting in Texas

Will the U.S. pursue justice for Khan’s victims, or will it continue to serve as his safe haven?

\Well if the Leftists lose this fiend, there are plenty of Luigi Mangiones, Antifarians and BLMsters around to pick up the slack.

And by the way, Mangione's cousin won an election on Tuesday. Meh, it's Baltimore so shithole's gonna shitole. But still, doesn't that just put the cherry on the parfait.

With all of that and all the rest of the nightmare links in the wake of the midterms and before, I nevertheless hope you all have a great weekend!

God bless America and give us the strength and wisdom to carry on.

What to make of this:
"James Talarico's early votes alone were enough to beat Ken Paxton's entire total in the Texas Senate race. The Austin state representative received nearly 4.4 million early votes and another million on Election Day. His Republican opponent finished with about 4.2 million overall. Democrats swept the statewide races and flipped the Texas House."

14 A lot of the analysis post-election seems to ignore diesel prices and Ukraine. While the voters might not associate the two, the actual cause of the majority of the diesel price increases is damage to Russian refining capacity. Russia was the world's second largest diesel export and went to a full export ban. Diesel prices are way more elevated than gasoline, and driving far more of inflationary pressure.

US refineries are shifting from gasoline to diesel which will balance things out a bit, but there doesn't seem to be much reason to believe the Ukraine war will be resolved shortly.

That Dems got their voters out early (and possibly often)...everyone knew early voting was their strength...it gives them days and days to pull people out from everywhere to vote.

You saw that early voting strength everywhere.

Did they raid nursing homes and hospitals and homeless for less than fully aware votes - sure, they always do.

But they also got regular folks.

While I'm VA, I early voted...and I told the husband it wasn't a great sign that I didn't see anyone else I'd consider an R (it helped them all had D voting sheets) voting when I did...by the numbers, you'd see a few.

If this trend stays in place that's a pretty big structural advantage to Democrats. Mainstream media is most impactful on people not paying much attention to politics, and who historically had lower voter participation. There's a reason Democrats have long wanted to make voting mandatory.

37 Trying to find a silver lining… maybe the only one is the Dems will go so crazy with impeachments and witch hunts that they’ll shock and turn off all the normie idiots who voted for them… leading to a big reversal and election of Rubio in 28. Could happen….

And speaking of 28, I think I’m done with Vance. Tucker Carlson stench seems to be rubbing off onto him…

43 The more I think about it, the exact moment Trump lost the midterms was when he picked a fight with Musk over DOGE.

Instead of defending Musk and the young men who risked their entire lives to help America, Trump got in a pissing match--defending the Swamp.
Defending them for a second time, the first over the Epstein files.

He should have picked a fight with Congress--not the people who put their lives and careers on hold to help him.

That was a massive betrayal not just of them but all the young men who came out for Trump in 2024.

The Iran war just cemented that young men are unwanted, and disposable to both parties:
They were sent over there to risk their lives to protect America and get repaid with nothing but whining about gas prices.
And no victory, just another endless war ....

60 We sent Trump to DC in 2016 to drain the swamp.

And we gave him a second chance in 2024; maybe the Republicans sabotaged him, maybe the Dems were too strong, and all the fake scandals were too much.

If you look at every failure, every self-inflicted wound, every betrayal and broken campaign promise of the last 2 years, there is one, common thread:
Trump defending or acquiescing to the swamp over his voters.

They got away with the baseball field and allll the others up to and beyond Kirk. And pay no electoral price. This isn't policy or anything complicated.

Still trying to figure out how, but the media and their internet nfluence operations are clearly wayyyy too powerful. Or Republicans really are that useless. Or there was some kind of cheat which can't be ruled out.

67 We conducted months of surveillance that shows why "home care aide" is now the *most common job* in states like NY, CA, MN, and PA: Because a large part of those jobs are unambiguous Medicaid fraud.

Thanks to home care, Bhutanese refugees now make more money than actual PA families. The state doesn't just look the other way, but helps them get away with it. Converting federal health dollars into a universal basic income for certain communities relieves the financial burden they place on the state.

55 43 The more I think about it, the exact moment Trump lost the midterms was when he picked a fight with Musk over DOGE.”

I agree. Trump’s term began with a fantastic move against mass fraud and illegitimate spending. It needed to continue and grow. Instead, grifting Senators complained and Trump decided to appease them and grew bored with DOGE. Who can say why, probably because it had been more than 30 days and Trump won’t focus on anything for more than that. After that, Trump sold out to the Deep State and let it be business as usual.

And if we examine what's wrong with the GOP, we might find it reveals what's wrong with the entire political system.

And then we'd have to stop saluting that flag. And that flag is the most important thing in G-d's creation, so we better just blame voters.

They're also watching the Trump admin go after their Pirate Queen to possibly de-naturalize and deport her so there's even more incentive to go vote.

100 For all the talk of Republicans under performing in the midterms the numbers tell a different story.

Republicans got slightly more votes in the '26 midterms than they did in the '22 midterms. Democrats got 20 million more votes in '26 than they did in '22. That's basically a presidential year turnout for Democrats in a midterm.

Virtually every county in Texas moved blue, not a single one moved redder. Hinojosa didn't crush Abbott because of Johnson and the damn war in Vietnam. It was like this virtually every state. Even though Rs won in Florida races were a lot closer there than they should have been.

We got a lot of what we asked for. Not everything but a lot more than usual in 2 years. USAID might be gone but the NGO army is still largely intact and being funded by deep pockets around the world. Look at Europe. Those aren't organic riots. I wouldn't have been surprised with losing some seats but that was a blowout and it was totally organic either.

119 Here’s a little microcosm to explain why this midterm was not about Trump but was about an ignorant and fickle electorate and a worthless GOP. Collin County, Texas… I used to live there. Extremely red county. This past election, Keresa Richardson barely (and I mean barely… by 134 votes) won re-election to the Texas statehouse in District 61. She’s a solid conservative who a few cycles ago beat a GOPe dude who’d voted to impeach Paxton in the primary. He was a Bushie… so he turned around this year and ran against her in the primary again.. and lost. Then she barely survives in the general on Tuesday when in that district she should win by double digits.

WTF does that contest have to do with Trump??? Answer: nothing whatsoever…. That was all about a disgruntled sore loser (twice!) Bushie and chamber of commerce voters acting stupid…. I’d bet dollars to donuts this happened all over Texas…

Ten Republican Senators in DC chose to throw the country into the hell of tyranny over their personal dislike of Trump.

Posted by: Tom Servo at November 06, 2026 07:47 AM (oH6g4)

Trump's avoidance of explaining himself clearly to the American people was a big liability this year.

He did his best explaining the traiffs at some point last year, but he never really gave a detailed speech or interview explaining carefully in detail (not one of his off the cuff comments to reporters) what he was trying to accomplish, and why, in Iran.

Allowing the Strait of Hormuz to be a problem for as long as they did was also a mistake. They should have had the "Blockade" answer earlier or another alternative to end, or get around, the problem.

They appeared to have counted on prolonged air strikes followed by a Kurdish rebellion to end the regime, as far as I can tell, and when the Kurds fell through on their end, the admin was blindsided on what to do next.

That appears to be what happened, but again, MysteryMaker Trump hasn't explained anything, and since Iran must still be dealt with, I don't expect to get an explanation anytime soon.

129 >>>And speaking of 28, I think I’m done with Vance.
~~~~~

Vance's X diatribe was troubling, but more so was Don Jr.'s response of, "Every word of this 100 100 100"

But I mentioned to JackStraw recently that I saw Vance in an interview say that he's a terrible procrastinator (just ask his wife, he said!) and that he doesn't make important decisions until the very last minute. That's just the way he does things. He said this in response to a question of whether or not he plans to run in '28.

I can understand his not wanting to reveal his intentions, but I found the procrastination bit very troubling. He was adamant about it.

No, but there's a reason presidents themselves put out coherent and constant refrains of what they are doing and why they are doing it.

He has his personal social media and his bully pulpit. He did not use it to convince anyone that 2026 was a good idea, for anything. And instead, he seemed petty and out of touch and out of the loop (see Iran's peace and no peace weekly posts) at best.

135 Turning on Trump now strikes me as the same fair weather mess we dealt with in 2020 despite it being obvious to everyone the fix had occurred.

Anyone who wants to can forget that Trump was castigated pretty thoroughly from 2021 to 2024, with some fair stuff but a lot of unfair stuff. And then he turned around and explicitly proved it was bullshit by running and winning.

Throughout that time when we had a lot of "Trump abandoned J6" I said he knew the only way to get them out was not to talk, but to run and win. Talking was a risk due to the prosecutions. I said he would be the only R to have the balls to release them outright and he would do it on his first day, but he had to win first.

There were even people (including most here) who didn't want him debating Biden. FFS. People are not just divided on him they love being catastrophically wrong about him. And here we are again.

Battles are ephemeral. Wars are enduring.

Now is a time for reflection. A time to review your lessons learned and prepare for the next battlefield.

In the meantime, let the enemy gloat and revel in his victory.

It will be short lived. We aren’t going anywhere. Nor will we yield to their advances, coercion, aggression and division.

I listen to the crazy already coming out of the D-Communist politicians, I listen to their supporters. I remember the woman who wanted Trump's supporters put in concentration camp ovens who -- shockingly -- won her election. I see constant violence. I see a future with millions more illegals committing crimes and driving up costs beyond the breaking point. I see each election cycle elect more and more radical islamists. I see a D-Communist party that stops at nothing to win. And I see a GOP that stops at nothing to thwart Trump and help the communists win. Pretty bleak. My only savior is in my Savior. It's the place where my peace lies. That's the greatest takeaway of all.

I agree, that appears to have been the original plan. But the idea that the “Kurds fell through” is just a weak cover story. From statements made by Trump himself at the Ankara Summit, it’s clear that when Erdogan got wind of this, he threatened to mobilize the Turkish Army and send them into the fight on the side of Iran. The US bowed to Erdogan’s wishes and scrapped all plans to arm and mobilize the Kurds. And worse yet, that part of the plan was replaced with …. Nothing. We just went ahead and hoped it would still work just because we wanted it to.

Standard practice for Calirado.

In the cycle directly after Colorado fell to California, the Communists floated a ballot measure to shut down the oil & gas industry. It failed in a 70/30 split.

The legislature's first order of business once it was seated was to pass it through legislation - a wide-ranging bill, hundreds of pages long.

Thanks to the Sunshine Law, all bills required public reading. Too pesky for Calirado Communists. Too much effort, too much time for debate.

So they broke the pre-written bill into five pieces, and had five computers speed-read their sections simultaneously in an unintelligible cacophony in the committee room, and then passed it.

That's Calirado for ya.

191 On Trump: I didn't vote for Trump to "fix it". That ship sail over one hundred years ago.

No one man is going to "fix this". Especially not Ron Paul.

The guy is just too nice. Confronted with a Shrub 3.0 or Hitlery in 2016. Anything was better than that.

I voted for Trump to have his way with all three holes of Watchingtown and leave panties in the Chandelier on his way out of town.

I am getting my monies worth

The Dims went full commie. The Rinos are exposed

The hall is rented. The orchestra engaged

Time to Dance!

194 The sheer numbers of people who voted donk do not make sense, we're talking millions of more people than a normal election cycle.

--

It is very strange indeed. I'm not saying every race flipped blue was swamped with fraud. But the numbers I'm seeing are just unfathomable and highly suspect in certain states. But again, big yawn. Nothing will come of it. We've been here before.

195 Incoming House Judiciary Chair Jamie Raskin promised in an interview that UNIVERSAL GUN REGISTRATION would be one of the Democrats’ top priorities in the upcoming Congress.

A Jew supporting a Nazi like policy. Let me guess; he'll be one of the kapos.
