The Morning Report — 11/9 /26

Good morning kids. Hope you all had a pleasant, peaceful, relaxing weekend and a chance to forget for at least a short while the nightmare we woke up to last Wednesday. Sorry to say that coming here and of course elsewhere across the conservative blogosphere, that nightmarish reality still dominates as you can see from the vast majority of links. I did not have a chance to go back to inspect previous entries to compare with the immediate aftermath of the past few elections but I suspect they were equally chock full o'links with post election analysis for several days if not entire news cycles. Of course this go round we have the Democrat/Left Propaganda Complex doing the moral equivalent of passing out candy and ululating in orgasmic glee at the site of the smoldering ruins of the Twin Towers on 9/11/01.

Among the essays are a couple in which the authors are stating that perhaps the horrendous defeat we suffered might be just the tonic we need to revitalize the movement and actually take back the nation going forward. While it certainly is true that the disaster that was the Carter presidency did indeed lead to the two terms of Ronald Reagan but the fecklessness and failure of George H.W. Bush did bring about two terms of Bill Clinton and then the Dubya years which then brought about Obama. And of course that nightmare, which at the time was certainly as horrifying as what we witnessed last week brought about the miracle victories of Donald Trump.

Yes the Bushes, McCains and Romneys along with the entirety of the GOP-e are indeed a complete turnoff to the majority of sane, normal Americans, which we have lamented and rightly so for years now, it still makes absolutely no sense given what the Democrats have historically been and this go round their open embrace of the most anti-American radicalism and Islam makes their survival and indeed the victories of the Clintons, Obama and Biden that much more a puzzler to me. Yes the GOP to put it mildly sucks. But if you're served a heaping plate of braised pus will you demand the waiter take it back and give you a cup of rat poison to make up for it?

So, getting back to those saying what happened last Tuesday will ultimately lead to restoration and revival, well color me skeptical.

Robespierres With Guillotines: Lust for Revenge Could Fuel the Next America First Resurgence: The insanity of the Democrats and their lunatic NeverTrump fringe transformed Trump from a pariah into a victim. . .
In closing, in case you think the Left is not really unhinged, consider the performance of Scott Galloway, an anti-Trump entrepreneur and professor at NYU. In front of a live audience recently, Galloway called Elon Musk “a traitor to the West.” What do we do with traitors? Galloway didn’t flinch. He noted that the Rosenbergs, Julius and Ethel, were “lined up against a wall,” i.e., executed. Musk, he said, deserved no less. The audience, I note, applauded. Amazing. Yes, such aspiring Robespierres might do some damage. They really are insane, power-hungry totalitarians in waiting. But their insanity will eventually call forth a salubrious counterrevolution. “Eventually.” I note that Senate terms are six years. That is a sobering thought. But it is also precisely the reason that everyone with the good of the country at heart must rally round and push back. I believe they will.

The always erudite and estimable Roger Kimball both gets it and misses the point. We are not dealing with Democrats who play by the same rules and adhere to the same belief system that we do. Far from it. They have a hate on for this nation as it was founded and its people. Always have and always will. There is nothing now to stop them from doing whatever they want or feel they need to do to finally grab the brass ring of absolute power and total dismantling of this nation as founded to maintain that power for all time.

And here too, the usually reliable J.B. Shurk:

It is true that the Democrats will prevent Trump from putting new judges on the bench or replacing anybody from his administration chased into retirement. I hope that his people possess nerves of steel and are prepared to endure the theatrical browbeating and endless investigations that will soon come from Congress.. . The midterm results are bad for us. However, I know this to be true: Victories can quickly become defeats, and defeats can often be turned into unexpected victories. Put your faith in God and have the courage to keep fighting. There is much to do.

And so here too Shurk states that "Defeats often turn into victories." This is what the Germans who voted against Hitler and the Nazis told themselves after his and their election to the Reichstag in 1933. Not even a year later, that building was in flames and every one of their political opponents were rounded up and shipped off to prisons and ultimately to Dachau, if they made it there alive.

And speaking of Dachau:

North Carolina Democrat Shelly Headen, who posted a Facebook story with a caption that said Trump supporters belong in concentration camps while visiting Dachau, is on track to beat Republican incumbent Rep. John Blust by 233 votes pending the tabulation of provisional ballots that will likely add to her lead.

And this is not hyperbole. They mean it. They will not merely stop at Trump or Stephen Miller or anyone else in the cabinet, they're coming after all of us.

Here we are on the 88th anniversary of Kristallnacht. While Jewish shops are now the targets in the city of Brotherly Love which is now the City of Muslim Brotherhoodly Love... Lest you forget that the Democrat Party now boasts a US Senator who is supported by and whose family members and probably he himself are members of that group. Meh, he's a practicing Muslim. Islam is utterly incompatible with America and civilization itself, and yet and yet! This too shall pass and perhaps it's a victory. Yeah, about that,

ABDUL EL SAYED FAILS BACKGROUND CHECK FOR CLASSIFIED SENATE BRIEFINGS

Washington, DC - November 8, 2026
Abdul El Sayed has failed the background check required for classified Senate briefings. The denial blocks him from any session that involves sensitive national security information. Officials who conduct the clearances reported that the review did not meet the standards necessary for access to restricted materials. The failure leaves open the question of what specific issues prevented approval.

Senators who receive classified briefings must clear the same process before they can attend. El Sayed’s rejection means he cannot participate in those meetings. The decision places him outside the normal flow of information that other members receive. Americans who expect every senator to qualify for the same briefings now see one individual excluded by the clearance system.

The denial raises direct concerns about what the background check uncovered. Officials have not released the precise reasons but the result itself is public..."

Cynical Publius

@CynicalPublius
This is what I believe happened in the 96 hours before, during and after Election Day. I have little insider information, this is just me connecting some dots. I could be wrong:

1. The Trump Administration knew it would be a wipeout.

2. The Vance team coordinated with Susie Wiles so there would be a concerted information campaign to blame the loss on Pete Hegseth because of Iran and to oust him, thereby clearing a JD Vance competitor from the field (plus maybe Rubio too).

3. Trump was unaware of this campaign, which included Susie scheduling a Saturday Camp David meeting with Vance/Susie loyalists with Trump out of town (that meeting got cancelled).

4. Vance dropped his "It wasn't me" X post on Wednesday morning (which directly blamed Trump's decisions but also impliedly blamed Hegseth and Rubio), but not before a whole bunch of people (me included) had already started backing Hegseth.

5. Hegseth himself dropped an info campaign that was clearly in anticipation of unfriendly folks in the admin trying to pin the loss on him.

6. It all came to a head in the Oval Office where Trump had to choose between Susie and Hegseth. Trump chose Hegseth

The Benny Show
@bennyjohnson
It’s going to be a wild week in the US Senate. Buckle up.

I have been calling around to various Republican Senators this weekend.

A few takeaways…

1. Conference is just furious — pissed is an understatement.
2. They see their own inaction on critical issues like the SAVE Act and insider trading bills as a major de-motivator for the midterms. They blame Thune and leadership for playing safe.
3. The rushed Leadership vote Tuesday is seen as a blatant insult. Senators want to know how their Leaders will respond to lame duck session and being in a steep minority.
4. Over a dozen Senators are demanding round the clock work on Trump nominations and judicial appointments. Some believe parts of the SAVE Act can still be passed through reconciliation.
5. Recess appointments are also being demanded. Thune is holding them up.
6. Senators are openly questioning their adherence to “tradition” — blue slip, filibuster etc. — as a new crop of Democrats couldn’t care less and will destroy tradition for power in a heartbeat.
7. There’s a sense that something big is going to happen. A real shakeup. Stay tuned…

That won't stop her.

Remember she was anointed as the candidate even though she'd been forced to withdraw from her own party's primary without winning a single delegate in the previous election cycle.

Solution: "Well, we just won't have a primary."

29 The Benny Show
@bennyjohnson
It’s going to be a wild week in the US Senate. Buckle up.

I have been calling around to various Republican Senators this weekend.

A few takeaways…

1. Conference is just furious — pissed is an understatement.
2. They see their own inaction on critical issues like the SAVE Act and insider trading bills as a major de-motivator for the midterms. They blame Thune and leadership for playing safe.
3. The rushed Leadership vote Tuesday is seen as a blatant insult. Senators want to know how their Leaders will respond to lame duck session and being in a steep minority.
4. Over a dozen Senators are demanding round the clock work on Trump nominations and judicial appointments. Some believe parts of the SAVE Act can still be passed through reconciliation.
5. Recess appointments are also being demanded. Thune is holding them up.
6. Senators are openly questioning their adherence to “tradition” — blue slip, filibuster etc. — as a new crop of Democrats couldn’t care less and will destroy tradition for power in a heartbeat.
7. There’s a sense that something big is going to happen. A real shakeup. Stay tuned…

61 The loss in 2020 gutted me. I, and I'm sure many here, thought the country was irrevocably lost.
I don't feel that way now and this situation objectively looks more perilous than then.
Somehow, we're going to come out fine.

I'm just watching what Trump will do.
If he goes on offense, we have a good chance for 2028. If it's defense, then things are pretty dark.

For me, I want to see him attack the three pillars of power of the deep state:
1) Secrecy
2) Access
3) Protection

Cutting off their money is good. But money flows to power like water downhill--you'll never stop it.
He needs to kill their power.

Transparency and openness.

The shallow post mortems on 2026 wants to blame acts or events. But these didn't happen on their own--choices and decisions were made to cause them.
We all have a list by now of various events or moments where Trump lost a little more and a little more.
But, for me, each of those leads back to a single source: the failure, the betrayal, the loss of initiative all benefited the permanent state, the deep state.
One faction benefits from hiding the Epstein lists; most factions benefit from killing DOGE; another faction benefits from the Iran war; etc.

10-20% of compute is AI based on energy consumption reports (there are no data for % of compute provided by providers).

Mobile devices = streaming, telemetry, ordering, banking, reservations, geolocation added to the increase of IoT in the form of sensors, smart-appliances, Ring and Flock cameras, transportation, utility etc.

It all depends on how you define fraud. Too many people are looking at traditional forms of fraud like voting machines and not looking at what an enormous network of leftist aligned groups with somewhere around $1 billion did to build "Democrat" turnout.

They simply outspent, out organized, out registered and out voted us unlike anything they've ever done before while refusing to tighten election laws and refusing to turn over voter rolls.

95 Hispanic voters in Texas turned out in the heaviest numbers ever seen, and on average there was an average 29 point shift from GOP to democrat among this segment. In the 14 Hispanic majority border counties, there was a 38 point shift towards the dems.

They turned out because Ginojoza (who none of us Anglos knew) ran what was in retrospect a brilliant Anti-ICE campaign on all Spanish Language media, telling them constantly that they were all subject to being hunted down and arrested regardless of their citizenship status. We didn’t even know this was happening, so of course no Republican candidate responded to the claims at all.

I have several Hispanic acquaintances here who’ve told me how effective it was. Plus, Gina is cute and soft spoken, so Mexican Machismo meant every Mexican male had to vote for her. Outside of those two things, the rest was just whatever to them.

98 I am seeing multiple reports pointing to Susan Wiles as one of the key failures of Trump 2.0.

In addition to Cynical Publius quoted above, John Konrad writes a long post on X on her and two others who basically ran Trump 2.0 like a traditional low-stakes GOPe Republican administration.
Where the goal is not to advance conservative policies but more to advance personal profit and careers.*

Whether Miller is the answer depends on one thing:
Will he give us answers?

Nothing matters until we are told honestly why the choices were made that led to last Tuesday.

99 I’ve been running numbers myself, at least for Texas, and coming up with the same conclusions. It’s just a cope to claim it was fraud, that would be easy to accept psychologically. The real explanation is much harder to accept, or even face.

More than any other factor, it was heavy ICE enforcement that destroyed Republican control in Texas.

100 It blows my mind that any (straight) man would vote for a party that openly detests them.

Their future is only violence since they have voted otherwise for peaceful obliteration.

No woman wants a loser who can't get a job. So the man has no family, no job, no purpose and society keeps telling him each and every day that he is a toxic monster and a piece of shit.

Then shoot, imprison or cancel any man who tells him different.

Solution? Vote for MOAR of the same.

Yeah, that kind of loser-think should be a Darwin move.

101 {{{Lady in Black}}} & Delurker

The real story, of the correct vote, would be a GOP win across the board.

This will be a closely guarded secret, like who acted as President 2020-24, who organized the COVID-19 Wuhan vaccine killing of the innocents, and who stole all the money from Americans.

The insiders on the Left and GOPe know. But the ability to steal from America just reopened.

105 If you wonder how a move inside the Texas Hispanic/Latino community could make that big a change, here’s how the numbers shake out.

According to the US Census Bureau, as of 2026 Texas is:
Hispanic/Latino: 41.7%
White/Non-Hispanic: 37%
Black/Asian/Other: 21%

In this election, Hispanics voted 75/25 for Dems (in 2024 it was more like 50/50)
White/Non-Hispanic were about 75/25 GOP
Black/Asian/Other was about 80/20 Dem.

Work out those numbers, and you get 31+9+15 = Dems end up with 55% of the vote, wiping out the GOP at all levels.
( assuming equal turnout, but actually Hispanic turnout was very heavy)

115 "The Votes Are In, ‘Affordability’ Is Out: Dems Pivot to Sanctuary Cities and War on ICE"

Nah, the Dems will continue harping on affordability. They will blame Trump for continuing to make everything unaffordable for the Middle Class and their Free Shit Army. Because Trump will veto the Dems budget/continuing resolution bills that are chock-full of free stuff and subsidies for everything, not just Obamacare premiums. Along with tax increases on the 'wealthy'.

The Dems have nothing to lose promising 'affordability' relief through legislation then blaming Trump for not signing their 'affordability' bills for the next two years. Each bill sent to Trump will contain a load of poison pills. Abolish ICE, for starters. Cut the defense budget to stop the Iran war. Refund everything Trump defunded or reduced its budget.

122 It wasn't like armed agents were storming into kindergarten classes and dragging out screaming and crying kids.

------

In my town, cops coordinate with ICE.

And they *did* do this. Not "storming in," but waiting politely in the front office to take custody after mommy and daddy got popped.

Teachers cried. Wah. Wah. Wah. I'm always moved by teachers who bitch and whine about things. Wait, scratch that, I hate teachers even more than border jumping illegals.

And I'm seeing way, way fewer Aztecs around my stores and schools as a result.

I like this. I voted for this.

It's too bad for the children that daddy was in a drug gang. Not.

These little hombres would have just joined the same gang a few years later, and their little chiquitas would be cranking out new gang members too.

It's not complicated. Go home willingly or otherwise.

Or it could be that a shitload of new voters were added and organized and turned out by Democrats.

Abbott got the slightly more votes in this past election than he did in 2022 when he won by over 900,000 votes. This election lost by 600,000.

Abbott did not lose support, Democrats gained an enormous amount of votes. Where did they come from and who replaced all the Hispanics that supposedly fled from Abbott?

129 one thing that came up bit in surveys is tariffs. I recall a conversation I had with some business owner who was supper giddy about moving his production to China, for cheap labor. Giddy of all the money he was gonna make. There are of course others who got super rich hiring illegals, construction. SO they got hit from 3 sides - cheap labor no longer available, chinese cheap materials no longer available, and rates high so cannot borrow. Some would say, hey should no hire illegals, should not move production to China. But people have been doing it for such a long time they don;t know any way.
