Ooof -- I hope he's not stepping down. Rumor is that Trump blames him for the Iran war continuing.
Mary Margaret OlohanSome Republicans are calling for a delay in the elections for Senate leadership -- to give challengers to John Thune the chance to announce their candidacies and start lobbying.
@MaryMargOlohan NEWS: Pete Hegseth tells reporters he will hold a press conference at the Pentagon tomorrow morning.
Sen. Dave McCormick (Pa.), a more moderate Republican from a key battleground state, is endorsing a call by conservative Senate GOP colleagues to delay the party's leadership elections scheduled for Tuesday. "As I've shared with Leader Thune, I don't believe we should move to leadership elections until we have digested and debated the lessons of the midterms and how to move forward," McCormick wrote late Sunday in a statement. "We need leadership in place fast, but Tuesday is too soon." "I know it's been the practice to go straight to leadership elections in recent years, but we should not rush it," he added. The Pennsylvania Republican called last week's midterm election "the worst election result" for Republicans "in decades." "We need a discussion about what went wrong, how we fix it, what we stand for, and how our agenda must focus on the concerns of the American people," he wrote online.The DOJ is investigating Hillary Clinton's chief conspiracy theorist for rigging the Alaska election with a fake candidate.
key Russiagate lawyer known for his bare-knuckle election and legal tactics has landed at the center of the alleged Democrat plot in the Alaska Senate race to recruit a decoy candidate to siphon votes from their Republican opponent. Marc Elias departed from the Perkins Coie law firm in 2021 and set up his own firm, catering to Democratic Party candidates. About the same time, the Justice Department was investigating its role in the Steele Dossier and its Trump-Russia collusion allegations, and he could face questions about the role his law firm played in representing multiple participants in the alleged scheme to recruit the candidate known as "Decoy Dan" in the Alaska race and whether there was any illegal coordination under federal election law. Elias and his firm, Elias Law Group, were named in the explosive pre-election New York Times report on how campaign officials for Alaska's Democratic senatorial candidate Mary Peltola coordinated with Democratic operatives and aides at the Democratic Senatorial Campaign Committee to recruit the decoy, Daniel J. Sullivan, whose name is nearly identical to incumbent GOP Senator Dan S. Sullivan.
Surprise! Former Muslim Brotherhood spokesman celebrates Totally Not Muslim Brotherhood Abdulrahman Mohamed El-Sayed. I posted about that last week. But in case you missed it:
A former Egyptian lawmaker and spokesman for the Muslim Brotherhood's political party is celebrating Sen.-elect Abdul El-Sayed's (D-Mich.) victory, hailing the Michigan result as a model for other Muslim communities and the wider Islamic world... He described the election of El-Sayed as an example of Muslims "working from within the political system."The timing is mwah, chef's kiss. No Notes.

Here foreigners can come signup for “free legal assistance, healthcare benefit assistance” housing, EBT Food Stamps and more Paid for by taxpayers. American Taxpayers get nothing, foreigners get everything for free. This should make you furious. They are literally just giving our money away to people who shouldn’t even be here. They are funding your replacements Democrats talk about Americans not being able to afford healthcare then go force Americans to pay for foreigners to have free healthcare… which also drives up costs for all of us so it’s like we pay twice.

So effectively, taxpayers are literally funding the college degrees of an army of women who then staff the NGOs and advocacy shops actively wrecking the country.
Helen Andrews was right.
15 years after taking student loans, men have paid them down substantially compared to women who have barely made a dent. Lower pay, longer career exits, and especially the 2007 Public Service Loan Forgiveness racket which erases the debt for employees of nonprofits or a 501(c)(3). So effectively, taxpayers are literally funding the college degrees of an army of women who then staff the NGOs and advocacy shops actively wrecking the country. If these women had to pay for their own education with their own careers instead of offloading it onto everyone else, they surely wouldn’t outnumber men on campus.— Rothmus 🏴 (@Rothmus) November 5, 2026

Ooof -- I hope he's not stepping down. Rumor is that Trump blames him for the Iran war continuing.
Well, we certainly annihilated Iran's military and leadership with minimal losses, so from a narrow lens, it looks good. The bigger question is- what did Hegseth and the senior staff predict would happen. If the intel they pitched was Iran would collapse or negotiate quickly, and they didn't, which led to the war dragging on, or maybe issues with munitions management slowing the prosecution of the war to drag it out...I can see Hegseth rightfully getting the blame.

He is the guy in charge of the Pentagon, and he seems to have a very hands-on approach there.
And, from what I understand, he did push hard for attacking Iran.
If Hegseth had gotten a hold of the Strait a lot quicker we might not be here right now. I think that, and depending on the Kurds to start a rebellion inside Iran, were what has led to the current impasse.

If you read left leaning forums landlords all bought their secondary properties via inheriting wealth and spend $0 on maintaining properties and only charge rent because they want renters to be poor.

If you're sitting on an American oil well, which would you rather have?
A government that lets you pump and sell to your heart's content and make whatever money you can manage to from it?
Or a government that makes it nearly illegal to have an oil field at all, and actively pays you an ever increasing subsidy to sit on your ass and not pump a single drop, year after year?

And if Trump came up with itit, shouldnt have Hegseth talked him out of it?
You dont try and overthrow a government unless you have one ready in the wings.
Or if youre not willing to actually deploy troops.
Its really everything conservatives have been railing againstnd what Trump ran on, no more foreign adventures in the middle east.
If I was a Democrat, Id be all for letting Trump just be Trump a few more years and let dems take every single office there is. They basically won everything on this issue.
Its clear there was zero plan here

Wars are easy to get into, hard to get out of. Our country's direction changed for the worse last Tuesday, and the dumb war in iran is mostly to blame.
I haven't heard any of the folks in my universe declare the Iran war being an issue in their voting motives. We want it finished and it could be over quickly on our terms. I do think trying to negotiate with Iran's mullas is useless.

One thing that may be going on here is that if Hegseth resigns Trump's nominee will need Senate confirmation.
Therefore if they are going to do it, they need to do it before January because the Dems will turn that into a shit-show no matter who Trump picks.

Its counterintuitive, but if you're like an Exxon, you want the government that makes oil expensive and limits supply. They're not wildcatting new oil fields, they already own them.
The gun industry is another example, did really well under Obama and Biden, terrible under Trump. Despite Dems wanting to basically ban guns

That could be it.
I do get the feeling Trump felt it was a 'now or never' situation, perhaps because of intel from Iran and also Bibi wanting to go now.
Also Trump had to know the incumbent's party has very little chance of winning in congress at the mid-term, he lived through the 2018 election already, and he had to know it might be rougher this time around.
So he went now, so he wouldn't have to wait and deal with a Dem congress.

But that’s the thing it’s not real depreciation. The values of my rentals increase every year, while I get to take a depreciation expense. According to the IRS, a building only lasts 27.5 years so every year 1/27.5 of the value of the building is depreciated.
As I said a gift from the IRS.

Of course Trump wembling and waffling had nothing to with dragging out the Iran war.
Coupled with his recent statements about "comprehensive immigration reform," he is dooming us to permanent one-party rule.

Americans could not ignore the war to their liking because of the increase in price at the pump.
I wasn't worried, because I knew the price could rebound. But I knew that price would have to rebound in order for the prices to be at a state where the Demedia could not lie about it.
I knew they'd make as much hay as they could about it, because they are a branch of the Democratic complex.

You shouldn't hate to say it, the GOP had no message.

The Dems ran hard, and managed to put everything on Trump and he just couldn't relate enough on the positives of what he's accomplished.
Hispanics and young men, especially blue-collar workers, turned on the GOP & Trump in high numbers.

If I'm not mistaken, Susan Collins is precisely and explicitly the very model of the "moderate Republican" that the GOPe and the "mainstream" corporate press have been insisting forever that the electorate is thirsting for.
She lost to a last-minute substitute local hack whose primary qualification is that he hasn't been credibly accused of sexual assault.
if we're going to lose, let's at least put up a fight.

With any cabinet nominations for the next 2 years, Trump shouldn't nominate anyone. Just tell the given department heads "this is my friend Ojibwo. He's a coked up child soldier from the Congo. You will carry out Ojibwo's orders to the letter, or you will be reassigned to latrine mainentenance at an under-construction government building in the desert until I find someone who will."
Ojibwo can then issue simple orders like "win this war, Ojibwo commands it," or "bring me the skull of Ilhan Omar, but turned into a pimp chalice for Ojibwo's drank," and so forth.

Trump is coming to terms with the fact that the Dems gained an upper hand on immigration because of their tactics in Minnesota which ended up getting two of their protesters killed.
That did not play well in Peoria, apparently.
Trump is, I believe, going for a more low-key approach to ICE enforcement, instead of these big city-wide operations that brought so much heat to the situation.
That doesn't mean Trump is going to bend over and take it from the Dems on immigration.
Blame the rest of the GOP in Congress for not putting Trump's immigration policy into law (like making "Catch & Release" illegal) instead of the executive orders he's had to issue to get the job done. That alone is more of problem in the future than anything you imagine Trump is doing.

Oh. Funding Ukraine for how f**king? Not our war, either.
How about: During his presidency (2009–2017), Barack Obama oversaw or authorized military operations, air campaigns, and counterterrorism actions across seven primary countries: Afghanistan, Iraq, Syria, Libya, Yemen, Somalia, and Pakistan.
Instead of launching large-scale, prolonged new ground invasions, his administration shifted toward drawing down legacy conflicts while relying heavily on elite special operations forces, air strikes, cyber capabilities, and an extensive global drone campaign.

A British writer, John Keegan is the one who made me understand the tactics/logistics argument. He said wars are fought again and again on the same terrain because they're logistically better. That if another war were fought in the US it would all be in the eastern half of the country again because the Rockies are logistically impossible.
I'm over-simplifying. But that's what helped me visualize tactics vs. logistics.

We export oil. The US did not have shortages and the lie about no capacity to refine is really just a ruse. It was explained that if we took the advantage of having cheap energy it would hurt global markets so we complied. And that is why US producers banked it big.

Diesel went over $6 mainly because of the attacks on Russia, not Iran.
Oil is priced globally in two prices, WTI here and the Americas, and Brent as the international standard.
Trump could have put out a temporary diesel export ban here in America to lower our prices, but that would have been highly disruptive to our producers and would have sent international prices to the moon, especially in Europe.

IMO Trump can't fire hegseth at this point because he's the tip of the spear staving off the color revolution the left wants. You need a strong leader who won't cave and turn the military against Trump, if the left tried to perform a political coup within the next two years, or in 2028 if things don't go like they want.
Plus he's whipped the military back into shape. No more soy boys looking to climb the ladder and get fat on a paycheck.
If he views hegseth as a traitor that "tricked" him into a war, then Susie wiles is doubly a traitor. She manipulated him behind the scenes for other people's interests. That is becoming clear. And blocked true MAGA people from having access to Trump. Thankfully miller won't behave the same.

Go back to March and look at an interview Rubio gave for the reason for the attack on Iran. They knew that Iran was just developing nukes but an enormous drone and missile inventory they would use to make Iran a nightmare for the region and beyond. He explained it clearly and convincingly. One of his better moments.
If they waited to attack Iran would have had the tools to wage an enormous regional war with the threat of nukes behind it. In that interview Rubio gave the best reason the attack on Iran was necessary. It was either attack then and take down the mullahs or wait until an attack would have meant a much more consequential response likely including ground troops.
The biggest mistake Trump made was not speaking directly and continuously to the American people and telling them this over and over.

Ellen insists on attending next year's gathering and bringing along our firearms and a gun-range dueling-tree which she was inspired to create after last year's event.
BTW, we were having some good chili today at a local restaurant (we usually buy Hormel for home) and she mentioned that it tasted like Wolf brand chili cuz she had
growing up in Waco -- but what you've had a hard time finding living in SoCal and now Northern AZ.
I searched online to see if it was still around, and learned that it was originally manufactured in Corsicana until 1985 -- and is still around being manufactured in Paris and Dallas, usually available in Texas and the rest of the Southern States.

There is nothing to criticize about the conduct of the war, once the decision was made to start. Yhe War Dept has done a fantastic job, and Treasury has absolutely knocked the ball out of the park.
But mapping PDJT approval against the war timing, you see Trump's approval was knocked way down at the war start and never recovered.
I think Trump's reputation as the "peace President" was a big plus to him and a political advantage. And he never effectively communicated why he decided to go into war and why then, why not wait until after the midterms and build political support beforehand.
Water under the bridge now, and not even the real problem, since the do-nothing GOPe is the worst problem, but it was (IMO) a peoblem.

In Red Dawn the Russians had to parachute into the middle of the country.
Tanner elaborates on the military sequence of the invasion:
- The first wave of the Soviet attack arrived disguised as commercial charter flights, similar to the invasion of Afghanistan, deploying crack airborne paratroopers through mountain passes in the Rockies.
- This was coordinated with selective nuclear strikes that destroyed missile silos in the Dakotas and key communication hubs.
- Infiltrators (mostly Cuban) entered illegally from Mexico, opening the door for Cuban, Nicaraguan, and Latin American armies to roll up through the Great Plains.
- The Soviets reinforced with 60 divisions, crossing the Bering Strait into Alaska to cut the oil pipeline and moving down through Canada to link up in the middle of the country.

Trump said umpteen times he would start no new mid east wars. For a lot of people who supported him that was a big betrayal which came on top of the Epstein files debacle. And it increased gas price by 30-40%.

One thing Trump can do is get media coverage. An Oval Office address is going to be covered.
I think he thought it would be over relatively quickly but once it dragged he should have addressed the American people and "felt their pain" over gas prices not just say it was worth it and people will understand.
