A Federal Magistrate Dismisses Charges Against the FBI Agents Who Lied About Interfering in the Hunter Biden Probe
A change of topic for the moment.
One of the FBI agents who lied under oath about interfering in the Hunter Biden probe openly admitted she was running a "shadow government" in the US bureacracy.A federal judge on Monday dismissed a criminal complaint against two former FBI officials accused of lying to Congress about Hunter Biden, citing what he said was "weaponization" of President Donald Trump's Justice Department just before the midterm elections. In a scathing, hourlong ruling read from the bench, U.S. Magistrate Judge Zia Faruqui said the investigation that produced the charges against Nikki Floris and Bradley Benavides was rushed, conducted at the behest of Trump and FBI Director Kash Patel and dogged by "critical mistakes" that require the dismissal of the case. "I am deeply troubled by what has happened here in this case," Faruqui said. "Whathas transpired here cannot be described as anything other than weaponization."Oh? We'll soon see that this magistrate -- not a real judge, and not confirmed by the Senate -- is zimself a big Weaponizer so long as that Weaponization goes against the right.
The ruling may not bring a permanent end to the matter because the Justice Department still has the option of pursuing an indictment, even though it has struggled during the Trump administration to persuade grand juries in the nation's capital to return indictments in politically charged prosecutions like this one.The magistrate admits his decision is motivated by the political calendar:
... "I will not bury my head in the sand and pretend that I cannot read a calendar," Faruqui said, alluding to the proximity of the charges to the elections, which will determine control of Congress for the last two years of the Republican president's second term. Prosecutors had accused the two former FBI officials of falsely downplaying to Congress their knowledge of investigations into President Joe Biden's son and of a laptop the younger Biden dropped off at a computer repair shop in Delaware in 2019. But Faruqui said the Justice Department had failed to establish in its complaint that any statements made during 2023 testimony were intentionally false and had affected lawmakers' investigation of Hunter Biden or that the former officials had any motive to deceive.
Hans MahnckeOh, and:
@HansMahncke This would be comical if it weren't so depressing. FBI officials Nikki Floris and Bradley Benavides were caught dead to rights. Anyone with two functioning brain cells who has read the documents can see that they flatly denied to Congress what they were openly discussing in their own emails. The failure to do anything about the completely out-of-control DC courts, or to at least try to start fixing a system that makes it impossible to hold Democrats accountable, will be the most damning legacy of these past two years.
A federal judge on Monday dismissed a lawsuit against Harvard University by the Justice Department, which alleged the school failed to provide admissions records that could ensure it had ended affirmative action in admissions. The DOJ had accused Harvard of stonewalling the investigation into potential racial discrimination and refusing to comply with a federal investigation, ABC News reported. The lawsuit asked a judge to force the university to turn over the requested records. U.S. District Judge Myong Joun concluded the DOJ failed to take the necessary procedural steps to acquire the data before filing the lawsuit. Joun added that the ruling doesn't end the dispute over the data, stressing her decision was on the limited question of whether the government had adequately satisfied the prerequisites, at this point, for judicial enforcement to occur.
Below: More on magistrate Zia Faruqui.
Zia Faruqui— and my longtime followers are familiar with his name—is a magistrate judge. Not appointed by the president, not confirmed by the Senate.
He signed hundreds of J6 arrest warrants including on the unlawful 1512c2 charge. He refused to release Couy Griffin, accused of 2 misdemeanors, from custody. Last year, he actually apologized to a guy accused of pointing lasers at Secret Service agents and the president’s helicopter after he was charged. Once again - the abject failure of Congressional Republicans to hold ANY of these judges accountable continues to reverberate in the hopelessly corrupt, unaccountable DC courthouse.— Julie Kelly 🇺🇸 (@julie_kelly2) November 2, 2026
Well that’s weird. According to reports, Mag Judge Zia Faruqui today blasted DOJ prosecutors for bringing a political case right before an election.
But Faruqui signed off on at least 3 complaints (not indictments) against Trump supporters right before the 2022 and 2024 elections 🤔— Julie Kelly 🇺🇸 (@julie_kelly2) November 2, 2026

(Jump to bottom of comments)This is all about packing the courts.
In 2024 there were five Senate seats that mysteriously went from red to blue after midnight. The numbers on some of the “wins” yesterday simply do not math.
Look for 60 Senate seats in 2028 and a stolen Democrati presidency. The courts get packed, and that is end game.

This was worth reposting, I nearly quoted it. It has a feel of being right even if we really know nothing.
Are we getting a retarded replay of 06 to 08 though. Only if Trump is a retard and decides to pass their bs while never defending himself from their attacks, and I don't see it happening.
Never forget a lot of hinky shit in 08 got them to their super majority.

And here we are. Expect them to get their jobs back plus a settlement. Like McCabe.

Get Prosecutors in office that won't prosecute crimes (except made-up charges against the Left's enemies) and judges that'll do the bidding of the left by letting go criminals (except throwing the book against the Left's enemies).
I see no easy fix for this, which is to say, all the normal paths to fixing this problem are the same paths lined with Leftists preventing a fix to the problem.

In his 20-minute victory speech, the upstart progressive extended no olive branch to Republicans, instead gloating and mocking Rogers, Vice President JD Vance and Trump, the last of whom often mocked his name.
“JD, habibi, there is this delicious irony in the fact that you’re constitutionally obligated to swear me in January,” El-Sayed said."
El-Sayed had especially harsh words for Rogers. “You chose hate, and Michigan chose hope,” he said. “May we never have to see the likes of you in this state again.”

The US has no idea the world of hurt that it has ushered. It is truly soul-crushing to see some of the outcomes. My reaction is not based on partisan politics but rather a deep love and reverence for the US. Regrettably, American Exceptionalism is increasingly disappearing. I will continue fighting in the battle of ideas but I fear that this might be a fatal inflection point. May the America of the Founding Fathers eventually prevail.

Not there was obviously much prospect of *any* action by Congress on lawless judges, but now? Obviously it's not even a topic.
And would not be surprised to see "courts" outdoing themselves even more the next 2 years, and beyond.
Hope this was worth it for the precious darlings who are suffering in a 3.4% GDP growth economy and just had to rebel.

2) Focus on cost of living/inflation
3) Put America First
4) Change our relationship to Israel
So they voted Democrat? Items 2 and 3 are absolutely going to be worse with Democrats in charge. Item 1 might be on the table. Item 4? Who knows?

The Wreckage
Sorry for bailing last night. It was painful.
It was a bloodbath. We're in a tough position now. I'll talk about my early reactions and theories on the night in a later post. For now, the damage assessment:Republicans entered the night with a 53 to 47 edge, and Democrats needed to flip four seats. They flipped at least seven, with victories in some of the most Republican states in the country. The Republican seats lost were: Texas: James Talarico defeated Attorney General Ken Paxton.We don't know yet if the cheating whore Mary Peltola stole the seat in Alaska from the real Dan Sullivan. We also lost gubernatorial races, including Texas'.
Ohio: former Sen. Sherrod Brown beat Sen. Jon Husted.
Kansas: Adam Hamilton unseated Sen. Roger Marshall.
Iowa: Josh Turek defeated Rep. Ashley Hinson.
South Carolina: Annie Andrews upset longtime Sen. Graham.
North Carolina: former Gov. Roy Cooper beat Michael Whatley for an open seat.
Maine: Troy Jackson unseated Sen. Susan Collins, who conceded Wednesday. Democrats also held every seat they were defending in the battlegrounds. Sen. Jon Ossoff beat Rep. Mike Collins in Georgia, Chris Pappas defeated former Sen. John E. Sununu in New Hampshire, and Abdul El-Sayed defeated former Rep. Mike Rogers for Michigan's open seat, per CBS News. Peggy Flanagan in Minnesota and Juliana Stratton in Illinois kept open seats in Democratic hands.
Republicans held a 26 to 24 advantage in governorships going in, with 36 races on the ballot. Democrats flipped four GOP-held offices. Texas: Gina Hinojosa defeated three-term Gov. Greg Abbott.
Georgia: Keisha Lance Bottoms beat Rick Jackson, ending a 24-year Republican run in the governor's office.
Ohio: Amy Acton defeated Vivek Ramaswamy to succeed Gov. Mike DeWine.
Iowa: State Auditor Rob Sand beat Zach Lahn.
At least we can finally say goodbye to the annoying game show host and grifter Vivek Ramaswamy. They're still counting House seats, but not only did the Democrats take the House, but they'll have the largest majority they've had in decades.
In the the House, Democrats will start the year with what would be its largest majority in nearly two decades, NBC News projects. Democrats flipped more than two dozen districts, some that voted for Trump by double digits in 2024.Trump is now obviously a lame duck. Not only does he face the most intensely hostile Congress than any president has ever faced -- Lincoln got rid of most of his congressional opponents by branding them insurrectionists -- but the cowardly NeverTrumpers and GOPe Corporate Supremacists who pretended to support him for the past ten years while covertly undermining him now have no fear of him and can undermine him more openly. Unfortunately, Trump 1.0 had a golden economy to offset many voters' intense dislike of him. Trump 2.0 has a decent economy, but people can't see beyond persistently high inflation and they think the economy is in poor shape. I assume this All-American Solid Citizen won:

I think it was less ideological and more about Trump the person and wanting to send a message. I dont believe these deep red states are now blue. But they are definitely anti-Trump.
We have to take stock of reality after a loss like this recognize did a lot of dumb shit. I'm so tired of the echo chamber where it's all about voter fraud or CA transplants. Or RINOs.
Trump owns this, and I take no glee in saying that.
If you're a Democrat, I would love it if we doubled down on "Trump can do no wrong!". It just means they get to be in charge of everything.

But maybe it's more simple and it's just an off year and off year elections overwhelmingly go against the administration in power. It's is very American in ways. Dunno.
I do know as a bald man, I have no hair to light on fire. I have for many years now watched society disintegrate (or 'decline'). I don't have the power to reverse that and it's probabaly good I don't. A lot of people would be dead. So I shrug, focus on what I can control. Take care of your friends, your family, your pets. Ignore politics, sure vote and donate if you feel like being a sucker, but live your life locally. Make local friends. Yeah, gun up. Stockpile food and water and water filters. That's just smart. But don't make national politics your identity.
It's not as bad as it seems, just like good news is rarely as good as it seems.

had a nice group chat with the fam in FLA. they are good to talk to when stuff like this goes down! clearly things are going to be crazy in the next decade. if we go to a state where we don't know a soul? probably not a great idea. so FLA is our best bet for sure.

Sadly, half the GOP has always wanted Trump ground up for dog meat. But he got elected three times, because his energy, charisma and proposals were attractive to the electorate.
He can sell himself, but he can't - who can? - sell the dopes and slugs the GOP puts up. People will crawl over glass shards to vote for Trump. Nobody wants to vote for a dullard like Paxton.

I honestly thought after 2008, the Democrat Party was going to be the default party for a generation. We had screwed up everything. I had sort of made myself unplug from politics.
And then 2010 happened.
But I THOUGHT we had learned some lesson post-W Bush, and getting into Middle East Wars was a big one. Also, Bush's love of Mega Corp.
Trump's populism was "popular" with rank and file, but then he seemed to have lost the narrative. Like maybe striking a more "working mans" position on data centers and AI would have been smart instead of "full steam ahead". That really bled into a lot of races and Trump was not where the public was on it. He was even out there saying he loved Flock cameras.

I disagree with some of the above.
I do think that the war in Iran was a mistake of timing.
Trump and his people had to know that prices would rise just as they were going down to comfortable levels after Biden.
Would waiting 8 months or a year have mattered? Till after the election.
Only if Trump received intelligence that Iran had a bomb ready to deliver on Israel or us, does a war at that time make sense.
And BONUS! Conducting a "kind war" to leave infrastructure, etc intact and minimize the death toll, assuming the anti-gov't forces would take over once the mullahs and gov't were decapitated was...well, misreading the situation. Short of flattening everything in sight instantly like in a real war, this was going to last, at least a year or two.
So, now the Dims will hand Iran a victory. America's blood and treasure wasted and revenge will be sought. Plus, the USA now becomes Flambe' France.
Terrific.

This really is the wrong lesson here. If Trump had been on the ballot (I would argue he was, just like Clinton was in 1994) he would have lost in a landslide.
The Dems that won were hardly political talents, most politicians are bland. Its not like Dems had some awesome bench of talent. Some of these Dems are the worst candidate I have ever seen.
Trump right now, is unpopular. I would say his only saving issue is the way he has cracked down on illegal immigration. And I think he did such a good job on that, a lot of Republicans didn't feel the need to get out and support Republicans.

There's no way to sugarcoat the biblical al-zutt ass-rape cocking we took.

We not only survived all that, but up to about 18 hours ago, we were stronger. Much stronger.
I have my own reasons for what I think happened, but they are gonna be harsh medicine that few people are gonna wanna hear. So I'll keep them to myself for now.

Her top 3 priorities:
Send $1500 of the rainy day fund to every Texan
End tax breaks for data centers
Expand Medicaid for the poor
All three of those will get R votes to pass.

Democrats promised lower prices, yet not one said how that would be achieved (other than leaving Iran).
Democrat actions that have RAISED gas prices:
- Biden cancelled Keystone pipeline on day 1, stranding oil in Canada and keeping it off the global markets
- Biden and the Democrats then cancelled oil and gas leasing for offshore areas
- Democrats banned fracking in NY and other states
- Newsom is closing refineries when we are already operating near 100% capacity (which is not sustainable)
- Biden pulled oil out of the SPR (not during an emergency) and didn't replace it
- Trump tried to re-fill the SPR when crude was $30/barrel during the Covid economic collapse but Schumer blocked him. Buying oil at $30 and selling at $105 is an economic home run, that Democrats refused.
- When 20 million barrels/day was blocked from passing through the Straits of Hormuz, Trump deployed military forces to re-open the Straits, Democrats voted to end the use of the military
- Carbon taxes are going to be proposed by the incoming crop of Leftists. Those ALWAYS make energy less affordable

There is a very weird undercurrent in this election and we best figure out what it is. Because we’re on the verge of a few new states, a stacked Supreme Court, open borders and citizenship for all and a permanent Democrat majority.

1- Trump has been much better this term on my priority issue: immigration. ICE is funded through Sep 2029, he's motivated and making progress, and I think we're seeing the beginning positive impact (economy doing well, rent prices started slowing, crime dropping, etc)
2- I think Iran (and Israel/Palestine nonsense) has really pissed off normies, even though the actual impacts are pretty small. It has to end well before 2028, Trump's economy should surge, and the Republican Pres candidate hopefully will have a good shot.
3- When Dems win big, they overreach and fight internally, and voters recoil quickly.
The bad-
1- The media (social, mainstream, foreign bots and governments, etc) have been INCREDIBLY successful in keeping Trump's wins out of the publicist mind, and keeping his failures, real or imagined, in the forefront. People think the economy is awful, and inflation high, when it isn't. They think we're losing to Iran, which is retarded. They think Trump is a corrupt pedo destroying the government and ignoring the courts, which is all BS. They think he's racist and too mean and violent with ICE deportations, when 90% of issues are from Dem states not assisting

Which was the point Trump was trying to make in his speech that was vilified by the Left and the MSM (BIRM) as INVITING Iran to do so.

He'd almost certainly lose the general election, it would be like if Dick Cheney ran in 2008.
I still expect him to run, but if he decides not to, he has a great reason; he has young children and doesn't want to miss them growing up while he's consumed with presidenting.

I fear the really no-shit beginning of the end was last night. The Dems in the Senate will block all of any Trump SCOTUS nominations. And the Dems may keep a Senate majority for the first two and maybe all 4 years of whoever is elected POTUS in 2028. I am trying to not take counsel of my fears. But if SCOTUS ever becomes majority Democrat, the Bill of Rights, especially the 1st and 2nd, will be effectively gutted without being amended. Living Constitution, bitchez!

Why was 2022 such a bad year for Republicans? Ukraine war, high gas prices, much higher inflation. By the "Iran War" line of reasoning, it should have been a shellacking.
The Democrats ran on affordability. This doesn't mean lower inflation, it means social spending.

The 5% conspiracy theory side of me is in the not understanding phase. It was so big in so many unexpected areas, it does not compute. I'm too lazy to do any real analysis on the actual numbers versus potential voters or registered voters. The thing was it was various issues and proposals that got pounded too, things that you would think would be obvious wins no matter the ideology. Could we really be in a color revolution already and we just aren't noticing it because the hammering was so widespread? It might be wise to keep an eye on how the Poland crisis shakes out.

Trump primarily won over inflation and the border.
The border stuff, he did a stellar job on.
Cost of living issues, not so much.
People saw high gas prices and tarrifs and inflation still being about 50% higher than it should be. Its much worse than the official stats say it is.
Also, dont forget Kamal and Hillary were terrible candidates. And Trump getting shot really reset a lot of the baggage he was carrying.

This is a big part of it, IMO. And the general malaise even among some die-hard conservatives and MAGA -- including some on this site -- that "nothing will happen," nothing is any better, "my pet political peeve isn't being addressed," not taking wins when they are offered, and generally letting the perfect be the enemy of the good.
I suspect this feeling that "everything sucks no matter what" kept a lot of people on our side home yesterday. Why bother voting if you think it's pointless?

And pretty much the norm for midterm elections.
I don't buy for a second this election turned on Iran. It's not even a war. It's a blockade with occasional bombing. We lost more people in a day in Iraq than we have in the entire effort to take down the mullahs. And gas is cheaper than it was under Biden. No sane person believe Democrats, who literally have run for years on making gas more expensive, thinks by electing Democrats now gas will get cheaper.
The election was not about gas or Iran. Texas didn't elect a gay, trans freak because they don't have cheap gas. Michigan didn't elect a jihadist because they weep for people who throw gays off buildings.

The positive news in NC is that all three state constitutional amendments passed by comfortable margins.
"In 2026, North Carolina voters approved three constitutional amendments: expanding photo voter ID to all voting methods, lowering the maximum state income tax rate to 3.5%, and requiring the legislature to set limits on local property tax increases."
The General Assembly flipped to the Dems. The GOP retained control of the Senate, but lost its supermajority edge (with the loss of the GA, that means little).

This is a paragraph from an essay I wrote on the late, lamented Threedonia blog back in 2012 after Robert shivved us on the Obamacare vote:
"Texas is a ‘Red State’…for now. The demographic trends are not in our favor. From San Antonio south to the border, the map looks like the Rio Grande has spilled its banks. Dallas is now blue, and elected a openly gay sheriff. Houston elected an openly gay mayor! Denton (where I live) and Austin are college towns and thus infested with entitlement titty-babies who vote D until they’re blue in the face. Eddie Bernice Johnson and Sheila Jackson Lee represent Texas! Further to the trend, next time you’re on the roads, count how many California plates you see. When we get ‘news’ stories about another left coast burger joint or grocery store opening with the people celebrating ‘it’s just like back home!’, it would be a mistake to assume they only brought their palates with them, not their politics."

Congressman Steve Scalise will run for House Minority Leader, according to Fox News.
Congressman Jim Jordan has also tossed his hat in the race. Speaker Mike Johnson is bowing out.
Johnson achieved his goals, as did Thune. Make a do nothing congress. Shiv Trump. Hopefully they both flee in shame at having done nothing useful.

Mostly they're not attached because they bet against him ever coming back from 2020.

Because everything I've seen locally (and I'm in a deep red rural area) and online has been a LOT of bitching about gas prices and the new war. It doesn't matter that the reality is that's not a REAL war, or that the gas prices have way more to do with the Ukraine war than Iran.
What matters is what the electorate thinks.

Republican turnout was consistent with 2022(and 201

It's the Democrat side of turnout that bears more examining, and the Democrat platform isn't exactly secret. They win with free shit, every other part of their platform people are ambivalent or hostile to.

Uncharacteristically, I was more hopeful last night.
The one place I knew would be bad was Cali and their redistricting efforts, it looks like at a bare minimum, the GOP congressional delegation will be halved, down to 4 reps, and if the counting continues to go the way it's going, they may be completely wiped out in California.
At this point the GOP should close up any offices they have there.

Look up Dietrich Bonhoeffer’s theory of stupidity. Paraphrasing the AI summary, Bonhoeffer argues that stupidity is a moral and sociological failure created by power and groupthink, making it more dangerous than outright evil because it renders people impervious to reason.
As a sidenote, Bonhoeffer was executed by the Nazis for his role in the assassination attempt on Hitler. Bonhoeffer joined the Abwehr and acted as a double-agent, passing along intelligence to the resistance network.

Obviously the war is very unpopular, even though many of us have convinced ourselves that it is necessary. That's on Trump.
And, more vaguely, there is a widespread sense that the wheels are coming off. That's not at all entirely on Trump, but you can see how he would get blamed for it.
Outside of South Carolina, I don't think candidate selection made a difference.
In North Carolina, Whately ran a really terrible campaign, but would have lost even if he had run a good one.

I had a nap after dinner, due to horrible sleep for over a month due to illnesses in our family, the hospitalization of our elderly mother, etc. I woke to read the horrible news.
No panic as Obungo's reign of terror was worse on my soul. I was disgusted and disappointed, but felt no fear or anger.
Spoke to my wise and wonderful husband. Realized that midterms are made of this. Then slept like a baby.
Have faith. I don't say those two words lightly or pompously, as I simply find God when it gets bad and I fear nothing on this earth.
Darkness strengthens faith every single time. I fear nothing that I cannot control. I was made this way from ancestors, a Marine father, and faith all of my life.
The only fear I have, that I can't control, is what is ahead for our children and grandchildren. I pray for them when I pray for our country. I then realize that our ancestors have been through far worse.
Similar to packed churches after 9/11/01...I pray those of you who don't feel God's peace to find this through prayer. He is always there for you.

He's rude and brash, that might work with the audience that wants to 'own the Libs' but his failure to communicate beyond that makes him look unreasonable and unhinged instead of the Dems.
His propensity to act on impulse is also very damaging. The Iran war was the right thing to do. The West cannot afford a nuclear armed terrorist state.
Has he ever made an effort to articulate that to America?
More than that though, his prosecution of the war was insane. One day he was attacking then he stops, says 'we're going to get a deal' then he's back to making ridiculous threats and it becomes a cycle where he completely undermines the ability to win the war.
He does the same thing where he is treating allies worse than enemies, to absolutely no gain.

Yep. Constituent services wins the day a lot of the time. Lindsey Graham's gay ass spent decades the Senate mostly because he was downright famous for his office's constituent services folks. They busted their asses for South Carolinians who needed ANYTHING they could possibly influence.
DeSantis got things done legislatively and he also was out front dealing with natural disasters and proudly showcasing how his government was highly competent and able to help Floridians in need, and was able to respond to their needs quickly. It. Matters.
I liken it to HEB here in Texas. Sure it's a great grocery store, but when a storm hits the coast the first things Texans see is their tractor-trailers rolling in to provide aid to those affected and it builds a ton of goodwill.

Blame the voters. Blame Trump. Blame anyone but the GOP for the GOP's litany of failures. It'll make them a better Party, I'm sure.
What happened last night sucks.
But what was the alternative?
They squeak out a less serious loss, and then revert to 2015 Uniparty status quo ante over the next 2 years anyway.
This really isn't that big of a deal. Vote for them, vote against them, don't vote at all, whatever.
The GOP is the GOP, and it never changes or gets better.
Metaphysically useless.

McDs just had to announce another value menu pick 2 for $3.60 because Americans can no longer afford to eat at the cheapest restaurants in the USA.
Outback Steakhouse just declared bankruptcy. Americans can no longer afford to eat beefsteak.
Texas voted blue gov and blue senate.ig they vote blue 2028 presidential the GOP will lose 40 electoral. If/when that happens it will be a very narrow path to the White House.
Dems will have a strong candidate in Ossoff. Any GOP candidate will arrive already enveloped in the stench of Trump.

The red state to blue state trend has the same underlying reality: declining share of the white population.
The only demographic group that votes Republican is white people. There isn't another one. Blacks, Hispanics, Asians are all Democratic by 2 to 1 at a minimum.
CA was 60% white in 1980. 1990 57% white. Last GOP POTUS candidate to carry the state was Bush in 1988.
VA 78% in 1980. 58% in 2020. Republicans will never win another statewide election.
GA was 71% white in 1980. It's now 58% white.
TX and FL were the supposed outliers, the supposed "naturally conservative" Hispanics that could safely be imported en masse. Well if Texas is gone, then you don't have a path to 270 votes.
An America that is majority nonwhite will not be a conservative country. It just won't be. That's not fact free doomerism it's just plain reality. The only people in the world that favor free speech, gun rights, and a competitive market economy as a group are white Americans.

I am one stubborn redneck woman. My ancestors lived through far worse, going back to the Domesday Book, where we are listed. French Huguenots (who are probably not pleased with me becoming Catholic, but I could convince them as my power is that strong). We fight.
My own father, in one of our very rare arguements when I was a teen, paused, told me I was acting like a bitch (he never, ever cussed in front of me). My eyes got big and he laughed and said, "I don't think you are afraid of the devil himself." That would be correct, and I agreed with him and we both laughed.
I may be blonde, half crazy most of the time laughing, and other wacky stuff. But trust me, you'd want me in your foxhole as I fear nothing but snakes, and am calm in emergencies.
I'll be damned if politics is ever going to get me down again.
I'm blessed in ways I cannot count, and thankful daily to God for this. I have faith that cannot be shaken in Him, no matter what is going on around me. Politics? Nope
I will fight and I am unperturbed because of who I am and my faith in God giving me nothing to fear.

Bingo. This why the older crowd here really annoys me.
It's not 1960. It's not 1980. It's not even 2000.
Like, you talk about "socialism" and "capitalism". I went to a very diverse high school. One of my classmates bought a gas station at 22. I asked him how the fuck he got the loan. He got an SBA loan for "disadvantaged minorities". He is Indian. Got a 200,000 dollar no interest loan from the federal government.
But for white men it's "pull yourself up by your bootstraps we don't DO SOCIALISM HERE"
Yeah you do, you just do it for every single demographic group in the country except white men. Everyone else gets healthcare and EBT and college and preferential hiring and grants and loans and on and on and on.

This is the correct answer to any questions about yesterday, and the only thing anyone needs to know moving forward.
Pander to muslims = muslims overwhelmingly vote (D)
Pander to indians = indians overwhelmingly vote (D)
Pander to ... specific religious groups that are very important to the United States = specific religious groups overwhelmingly vote for the (D)s that call for the specific religious group's destruction
Do nothing AND actively work against the only group that understands America and American values and votes with any meaningful thought outside of tribalism = they eventually stop voting for you because what's the point

If the regime is not gone, the can has been kicked down the road. And it will come back bigger and worse than before. Not just the nuke/missile aspect, which suffices as an intolerable uncontainable threat. The regime has now played its top card, claiming it controls the Strait. Bell that cannot be "un-rung".
Americans (all) demand perfect security and stability at zero risk or cost (and quickly!), and weaponize their ignorance and lack of understanding in doing so.
Moral hazard of putting American forces in harm's way has long since gone beyond sane limits. If only our commitments and force structure matched our political ability to act (= 1/3 of current forces and ending all alliance commitments).

In his 20-minute victory speech, the upstart progressive extended no olive branch to Republicans, instead gloating and mocking Rogers, Vice President JD Vance and Trump, the last of whom often mocked his name.
“JD, habibi, there is this delicious irony in the fact that you’re constitutionally obligated to swear me in January,” El-Sayed said."
El-Sayed had especially harsh words for Rogers. “You chose hate, and Michigan chose hope,” he said. “May we never have to see the likes of you in this state again.”

I don't blame Trump for their plan. I blame him for taking his eye off the ball.
The only viscerally unpopular Republican policy is Middle Eastern Wars.
Trump in 2024 brought in new voters who really believed him when he said no new wars. Now, you can argue we had to do Iran. That's fine. But in doing Iran, gas prices spiked which is political poison, and this is the result. Because we have universal suffrage, and in that world people literally just vote against the incumbent when gas is expensive. That's all they do.
If a Democrat wins the Presidency in 2028 we're getting 30 to 50 million new American citizens, and they're all going to vote Democrat forever. It will be the first piece of legislation they pass, it will be the law of the land by Valentines Day 2029, and the GOP will be extinct as a national party.

Women (not the 'ettes of course)
I'm in a blue state but my circle has quite a few conservative minded folks.
Virtually every, and I mean every, woman I know has a seething loathing of Trump personally. I hear it at parties, dinners, family gatherings, anywhere. I don't remember any woman ever defending any policy of Trump, let alone even a "I don't like him personally, but he has done a few good things". Nothing, nada, just sheer dislike and hatred.
And the personal hate goes beyond his personality. His work on immigration translates to, "Trump hates all immigrants who are just trying to make a better life".
I actually had a discussion with a woman who was rational but still hates Trump. She said, "How could you support him?" I took the time to explain SAVE to her by way of example and she listened and acknowledged she hadn't known anything about that but that it made total sense.
But she would still not vote for him, let alone begin to defend him to her women friends and relatives who detest everything about him.
That's an awful big voting block.

I've thought from the beginning that, in many ways, Trump's real estate training has been more a hindrance than a help. He tends to see things in a 'business opportunity' light rather than an objective 'real world' light. He thinks he can 'negotiate' things that instead require a genuine ASS-KICKING (e.g., Iran). He can NOT negotiate with fanatics. Their worldview doesn't permit it. We get to experience his failure to realise that simple salesman / customer reading. Oh: Don't hold your breath waiting for him to nuke Iran, either. Or conduct the bombing campaign he talked about pre-election. Ain't gonna happen. Wouldn't be 'prudent' (where've you heard that before?).

Wednesday Morning Rant
It'll make things so easy, they said
Last month, there was a coordinated attack on commercial refrigeration equipment produced by a Danish manufacturer. Most of the targets were in France, and multiple supermarkets and suppliers were exposed to major product loss as a result of their refrigerators being told to stop refrigerating. This was accomplished setting the refrigeration temperatures high or turning on the integrated defrost cycle. The machines were not off, nor were they offline - they were just set high enough to let things spoil:
Speaking to BBC Radio 4's PM programme, Alex Pearce, the managing director of fruit and vegetable supplier Langridge Organic, said he had noticed on Monday morning that two of his company's fridges were showing "abnormal temperatures and defrost settings". "A third fridge suddenly went into a defrost mode ... At the back of my mind I thought, 'I think we're being hacked.' "So I unplugged the cable from the wall which disconnected our fridges from the outside world." He said the company's fridges had been set as high as 150C. Mr Pearce said: "I reckon I caught them by luck right in the middle of it being hacked."He was paying attention, and intervened to contain the problem. Good for him, and I hope he got a bonus. The losses across the industry reached millions of Euros, and happened due to software vulnerabilities in the equipment. This is, in part, due to a collision of the software lifecycle and the industrial equipment lifecycle:
Danfoss told AFP in a statement that most of the affected equipment was "legacy" products which "no longer receive software or security updates". It said its AK-SM800 and AK-SC355 fridge regulator systems were notably affected, with a version of the former using "outdated firmware". It added that it had long advised supermarkets to update from those models. Danfoss gave no figures of how many systems were affected.Commercial or industrial refrigerators are capital equipment, and can see very long service life - service life that will almost inevitably be much longer than software is typically maintained, patched and kept secure. "Update from those models" is not a very good solution for major durable goods. Authorities in France described the attacks as "amateurish" and offered assurances that there was almost no chance a state actor was involved. That is probably true, but that also makes it worse, not better. If some unsophisticated hackers can cause a few million Euros in losses (which are food losses) literally overnight, imagine what the sophisticated ones can do - especially since it happened again this week, in a different set of countries and with a different manufacturer's equipment. Like last time, some outfits noticed right away and intervened while others suffered significant product losses. The overall scale of the more recent event was smaller, but it was the exact same style of attack: instruct the connected refrigerators to change their setpoints. Connected industrial equipment gives a real benefit to the operator, which is why it is used and why organizations will pay for it. Centralized monitoring capability alone is probably worth it for any organization with multiple locations. Real-time status, conditions monitoring, fault detection and isolation, coordinated maintenance activities, utility cost optimization and more are all very real improvements to large-scale operations and industrial IoT makes that possible. Those very real benefits, however, come with very real risks when it comes to both failure scale (the consequences of errors can be more severe, because they are wider in scope) and external threats (hackers and similar). The convenience and optimization of industrial IoT requires rigorous change control, security-conscious infrastructure design and strict security process control. Many places - and manufacturers - embrace the former and skimp on the latter. Control surfaces are directly connected to the internet, updates don't get applied, change control is lackadaisical, corporate infrastructure security is poor, etc. Fixing those things not only reduces operational convenience, it increases cost - though probably not more than major equipment failures. These have been comparatively little incidents and were not disasters. They were loss-making inconveniences, but the scope of these attacks has been thankfully limited. These small-scale incidents, however, highlight a major risk. More than a decade ago, someone once put to me as, "our only hope is that the Internet of incompatible Things collapses under its own weight before the Internet of insecure Things gets us all killed." Engineers have largely solved the compatibility problems, because that's what engineers do. The security problems, however, must be dealt with before little incidents like these refrigeration attacks are seen merely as contextual footnotes in the history of industrial IoT disasters.

I think we look at internet security in a wrong way.
The idea is software needs to be a fortress because their are endless barbarian wanting to come in and loot it.
I have a look on my door, but if a group of people really wanted to get in they can. That doesn't happen because it will bring police who will arrest them.
With the internet it is harder to arrest people sure. But the answer to that should be more severe punishment. If we started hanging people/droning people for hacking and broadcast it on TV internet security wouldn't be such a difficult field...

Posted by: t-bird at November 04, 2026 11:09 AM (Kkd7+)
Refrigeration equipment has to be monitored to keep product from spoiling if the temperature gets too high. Residential refrigerators are plug and play, but supermarket refrigeration systems are complex and require a great deal of maintenance. I've been in the refrigeration industry since I graduated from college, and these systems have been in place since the late 80's. AFAIK there have never been any large scale attacks against grocery stores like we are seeing now. With AI, this is only the beginning. Anything connected to the interwebz is vulnerable, and this type of hacking could literally bring this country to its knees in weeks.

Basically every Republican won every position they won in 2024 and 2022. However the margins were about 6% smaller on average looking at it ballpark.
In a state like mine a 6% shift doesn’t do much since the margins are so high to begin with. Winning by 20 or by 14, whatever still a solid win.
In a state where wins are in razor thin like a Wisconsin or Michigan or even minesotta that’s a tsunami election for the other side.

This is my WAG as to what happened last night. The Dems managed to pin their own the blame for their own horrible policies and behavior on the opposition, because the opposition couldn't undo the damage in two years.
I believe that the average American is struggling financially right now, especially if they're young. Thanks to being bled dry by years of Bidenomics, their credit and savings are blown. Trump promised to fix that, and he hasn't (yet).
And if corruption is an emerging theme, there has been nothing more damaging than the corporate and government leftist alliances and the corruption they've spawned. The dems own the bulk of that, but seem to have convinced voters otherwise.

It makes it especially satisfying to say "I told you so" in the after action meeting about some incident. It doesn't have to be security. It can be something as simple as using someone else's software, such that 5 years later you can't even update your system but have to entirely rewrite it - because that other person's software went End Of Life.

How much of it was the nature of midterms with the party out of power being energized and the party in power becoming complacent after getting what they wanted?
I thought we would perform much better last night and keep the Senate. I knew we'd be up against history but I thought our side would reward our team for a sealed border, record deportations, lowest crime in generations, a booming economy and on and on. Instead we got complacent and let the left, who despises all of that, have all the energy.
Michigan elected an anti-semite jihadist. Texas, of all places, elected a trans, gay senator that took 2 weeks of the election off. Neither of those was because of gas prices or inflation. Both were much worse under Biden. Thinking this election was about good old American values is fighting the last war.

Yes, and if you've ever done debate, feelings matter more than logic. You have an easier time of convincing someone of something when you can make them feel it vs just make them think it. Feelings stay, thoughts stray.

The entire "Affordability" thing was and is An Op and it was blatantly obvious from the beginning. And the GOP did sweet fuck-all to counter that narrative, and in fact just accepted the Dem framing of the issue, because they're useless.

Senate, not a chance. Look at the 2028 map, not a lot of blue seats in play that are realistic pickups.
Maybe Nevada.maybe Ohio. Maybe Georgia. That’s about it the rest are seats in deep blue states.

We hired Trump to do hard things, things that are obviously unpopular with at least half the country. He sealed the border and is deporting illegals at a record pace. He took down a red/green alliance in Venezuela, Cuba and Iran that has been poisoning this country for decades in many ways. He laid the groundwork for fixing our economy with very controversial tariffs that are onshoring manufacturing in ways we haven't seen since the 1960s which is when most weren't even born. And he did it largely on his own.
Half the country despises him and us. They murdered a nice guy like Charlie Kirk just for talking with them. Our schools have been breeding grounds for generations that are nothing like us. The left has been radicalized. We better get even more radicalized against them or we are screwed.

"Two Colorado ballot issues addressing transgender youth were passing with narrow majorities as vote counting continued into the night Tuesday.
About 52.4% of voters supported Proposition 134, which would ban transgender youth from school sports teams that match their gender identities, as of 4 a.m. Wednesday. About 47.6% opposed the measure.
Similarly, about 52% of voters supported Proposition 135, which would prohibit gender-affirming surgeries for people under 18, with 48% rejecting it."

In 1982, Ronald Reagan was half-way through his first term. The Republicans took a beating then, too. The GOP kept control of the Senate, but the Dems added 26 more seats to their majority in the House.
The MSM of the day hated Reagan about as much as they hate DJT now, and they ALL went on and on how this was the end of the "Reagan Revolution". Almost immediately after the last vote was counted, the policies that the Reagan Administration had pushed through despite the worst efforts of the Dem-controlled House to stop them, kicked in. The result was the 1984 "Morning in Amerca" election which RR won in a Mega Landslide.

A year before the midterms, Dugin was already describing how Trump’s own base could make Republicans lose the midterms. He named the American influencers he thought could pull that support away, identified Israel as the issue that would split the party, and said what Trump would have to give in to Russia to reverse course.
On November 14, 2025 he described the pressure campaign in public. Tucker Carlson, Candace Owens, Steve Bannon, Alex Jones, and Nick Fuentes were the media figures in the that would help punish Trump. He described the Groypers pressing Republican figures in public to choose between America First and Israel First, and said the Israel issue will bring parts of the MAGA right and the anti-Israel left into alignment....
Today he reinforced that message blaming Trump’s backing of Netanyahu, the war with Iran, and the economic and energy fallout. He said Trump sided with neoconservatives, Zionists, and what Dugin called the deep state, and “lost everything.” His bluntest line was “Iran defeated Trump.”
He laid out the strategy for how he was going to run control over American foreign policy in 2025..."

I dont believe these states changed in a meaningful way ideologically or demographically. They're just sick of Trump's schtick.
A lot of "conservative" ballot props actually passed, it's just voters wanted to send a message to Trump and they felt voting dems or sitting out was the way to do that.
I take no glee in this, I would love it if Trump was a popular President and got more Republicans elected, but its just not the case.
If I was a Dem, I'd want conservatives to be waving the Trump flag forever as it went (further) off the cliff.

Posted by: JackStraw at November 04, 2026 11:47 AM (viF8m)
======
It was about the price of gas and the attendant inflationary spiral. Oil prices have dropped 2% since yesterday. But people are looking at their bank balances, the vacation trips they had to cancel, the price of food, diesel is still high, etc. It takes time shake the perception that the economy sucks. I noticed that the Dems dropped their references to the price of gas in the last two weeks, too.

What I've seen so far is much closer to 2022 than 2024. Which would tend to confirm my theory.
We also lost winnable governor and mayor races last year because our turnout was terrible. Again, it tends to confirm my theory.
I also think we were saddled with some problematic candidates. Wtf was Graham's sister doing running? Who were those clowns in GA? Our guys and gals had so little star appeal I couldn't even keep them straight.

While you were sleeping, the new right developed intellectual theories, partnerships with shady foreign interests, a pipeline directly into government, media, influencers, everything but actual voters. And if there’s anything they learned from the primaries, it’s that Trump still had control over his base and his movement. How do you fix that before 2028? You hand him an epic loss so you can spend two years fighting over the future of the Republican Party."

The war caused higher gas prices. And higher gas prices have never been a factor in previous elections per TJM.

Even the war in Ukraine was why gas prices spiked, Republicans would have weathered that. It was around the same price in 2022 under Biden and Dems did fine.

Ads were the same.
And I saw same for Rs in other states.
That's not a campaign platform, that's a side-issue.
Talarico "assumed the sale" most of his ads were on what he was going to do.
Paxton? "trannie, trannie, trannie, no-gender God, oh btw and here's somethings I did as AG."
I literally cannot think of one thing he said he was going to do if elected.
But that's nitpicking--no statewide R was going to win last night in TX.

Agree. See my comment above. Our GOtV efforts are terrible and without Trump we just aren't motivated.
The GOP "brand" is dogshit. Polls worse than genital herpes. But MAGA is a much bigger tent. People vote for Trump who wouldn't vote for a rando GOP candidate. But when Trump isn't actually on the ballot, those people either stay home or -- gasp -- vote for the Dum.

I disagree with some of the above.
I do think that the war in Iran was a mistake of timing.
Trump and his people had to know that prices would rise just as they were going down to comfortable levels after Biden.
Would waiting 8 months or a year have mattered? Till after the election.
Only if Trump received intelligence that Iran had a bomb ready to deliver on Israel or us, does a war at that time make sense.
And BONUS! Conducting a "kind war" to leave infrastructure, etc intact and minimize the death toll, assuming the anti-gov't forces would take over once the mullahs and gov't were decapitated was...well, misreading the situation. Short of flattening everything in sight instantly like in a real war, this was going to last, at least a year or two.
So, now the Dims will hand Iran a victory. America's blood and treasure wasted and revenge will be sought. Plus, the USA now becomes Flambe' France.
Terrific.

The conflict with Iran was necessary and vital to US national security. Period. It temporarily increased (bigly), the price of energy. Iran's response to US strikes simply demonstrated their regional capacity to hold the world's oil energy needs hostage for the furtherance of their imperialist ambitions. Fortunately, we have a president willing to pay the political price to stop them.

I've wondered about that term "color revolution" myself. So I chatted:
They're called “color revolutions” because the protest movements adopted a particular color—or sometimes a flower—as their identifying symbol.
The term became popular in the early 2000s

Oh, but now, old friends, they're acting strange
And they shake their heads, and they tell me that I've changed
Well, something's lost, but something's gained
In living every day
Oh, I've looked at life from both sides now
From win and lose and still somehow
It's life's illusions, I recall
I really don't know life at all
I've been told I've changed politically. Less of a declaration than a vitriolic accusation. Fiddlesticks. I've stayed the same... maybe gotten more of a spine and take less of other people's crap. It's everyone else that's gone barmy.
This song is used perfectly in the movie CODA. Though I winced when the music teacher says it's a "classical" piece she's using for her audition. But the ending where she signs it to her family during the audition? Tears.

Robert Cocke
Nice colors, cheerful in a sense.
Good for a teenage girl's bedroom or even more so for decorating the home of the Gavin Newsom family.
Wikipedia, Robert D. Cocke (born 1950) is an American painter based in Arizona, known for enigmatic invented landscapes and still lifes.[1][2][3] He emerged in the 1980s, producing expressionistic figurative paintings with a socio-critical dimension that drew on Chicago Imagism, Funk art and surrealism.[1][4][5] In the 1990s, he turned to unpopulated, panoramic vistas combining classical painting technique and surreal features, which critics have described as hyperreal, hallucinatory and otherworldly.[6][7][1] Curator Julie Sasse has written that despite dramatic changes in style and subject matter, his work has asserted "a consistent desire to address not only human relationships, but also the relationships between humankind and the natural world."[8]
Would pass hanging today's selection, but learned something of the artist, Cocke.
Thanks.

Larry Niven's The Magic Goes Away has a scene where the Warlock and two of his colleagues call up enough mana to make a cloud pillowy but solid, and they all travel atop the cloud. Worrying all along that they'd hit a patch dead to magic, their spells would fail, and they'd all be trying to learn how to fly. But it's faster than traveling overland on horses.

A friend sent this. Good advice for today.
As we enter this season of lengthening shadows, where the natural world turns toward darkness, coldness, and harshness, it is easy for our hearts to feel the weight of a shifting world. When the outcomes of human systems leave us dismayed and shaken, we are reminded that our ultimate hope has never rested in the kingdoms of this earth.
Let us avoid the temptation to consume our souls with the anxieties of this world. The Holy Spirit invites us to focus internally. Just as winter calls us to seek the warmth of the hearth, this season invites us to anchor ourselves deeply in what nurtures our soul - our faith, our family and our friendships.

Yeah I didn't want you to think I was mocking you. I wasn't.
I think the DNC-DSA op, which has unfortunately moved a lot faster than I initially even feared is going to bring a LOT of unpredictability.
I am waiting for the media to talk up how the DSA helped usher 8n last night's result but I don't listen to the media so I will wait for it to be reported here. Gonna be interesting to watch going forward. And by interesting I mean terrifying. But I have Jesus and they don't - so there's that.

President Trump, late last night: "I look forward to working with them. They've already called. We'll probably be able to work something out." Democrats last last night: "Lawyer up." Posted by: Washington Nearsider, perparing at November 04, 2026 10:19 AM (yKhjs)

But after getting your butts whipped at the ballot box, it has nothing to do with the Iran War.
The "war," insofar as it had anything to do with the election, was only a talking point for the left. Its effect at the pump, however, was IMO what helped to cause last night's crash. I predicted that the midterms would turn on the pocketbook and I believe I was right.
I also believe that when the economy, in the next two years, finally shows the results of Trump, the Dems will take all the credit and a credulous, ignorant electorate will believe them.
And I suspect that this morning Thune has the biggest hard-on he's had since Charlie Kirk was murdered.

"We?" I have been saying for a while that the data centers have made both MAGA and Marxists mad. It's one of the few things the average voter unites on.
You cannot trample on people's clean air, water, electric needs while building data centers to "beat China." Ranchers and farmers and the middle class don't care about China, they care that the data centers are destroying their communities and leaders are so greedy they just approve them.
They want to put a data center larger than Manhattan next to the great salt lake. It was supposed to be 3x larger than Manhattan, but the people screamed about it, and voted out the county commissioners, they wised up. Put a giant data center in a desert next to a lake? This was always stupid.
Add to that the governor of Utah's dad runs the largest fiber optic company in Utah. Who do you think will get the bid to run cable to the data center? There is corruption and Backrooms deals and it's making voters mad. Rightfully so.

Demographic shifts, and yes Californians coming here and voting like they did in California.
Also, as I have mentioned several several times, Paxton was a historically bad candidate and he ran a historically bad campaign. Not saying that Cornyn wasn't a useless turd that deserved to get thrown out, but Paxton sucks. Nobody here likes him. He's got the retail political skills of Hillary and is only slightly more likeable.
I don't like that people vote based on the "likeability" of a candidate, but the fact is, they do. Hard.
Abbott is a lazy faggot who has been resting on his laurels for years and thought he didn't need to campaign. Whoops.

There is nothing wrong with positivity - I try not to doom too much because that's not what we're here for and there's plenty of doom and gloom to be found elsewhere.
I staked my reputation that I have even an inkling of what is going on around us on one single "prediction" because predicting outcomes is fucking hard. And I will stand behind what I see in the unfortunate DNC-DSA op that I believe we will now fully marinate in.
But for some, not just one, it would be better all around to embrace humility and run with the fucker instead of acting like a dickhead or a jerk.

Over the last year the Democrats yoinked strength, youth, energy and masculinity out from under us. It's all phony and underhanded but they did it. Kamala represented NONE of those things and they believed, perhaps correctly, that it's how Trump beat her. Yes youth. A schoolmarm is not youth.
Voters generally like those four things. How do we get it back? We need a party that is willing to embrace a leader that isn't cucked, not to mention their own voters, and I'm not seeing it.

There are plenty, I'd have to look them up. But in states like TX and GA, new data centers messed with the water people got in their homes. They're taps slowed to a trickle. Texas supposedly used around 50 billion gallons of water cooling data centers. Do they just have an extra 50 billion gallons? Guess who suffers for that?
You cannot build data centers unless you build more dams. You need the water collection and the hydroelectric. Good luck getting that passed today!
And you need more nuclear.

Start investigations in Congress and make accusations of corruption and white supremacy.
They'll continuously make asses out of themselves for two straight years with, I expect, a few attempts at impeachment from the cabinet and the president.
They'll do the same thing they did in 2019-2021.
When they absolutely lost their minds and went full tyrant for a year.
I believe the only thing that saved the Dems in 2020 was COVID & George Floyd.
Trump needs to get it together and get things done in the next few months because it's going to be a long two years.

The Morning Report — 11/4 /26
Good morning kids. Well, here we are and after yesterday about the only kernel of normalcy I can offer is that being a midterm election it's not unexpected and indeed usually the norm that the party in power generally loses the majority in Congress. Although 2006 was a huge exception to that notion.
Besides that, at least we won't have to endure the preening, strutting and hutzpocritical crowing of slag shit-whore RINO Susan Collins despite being ousted by Nazi devotee Graham Platner. Not that she advanced the cause of freedom and the American agenda during her tenure, either sitting on her hands or otherwise joining with the Democrats to advance their heathen policies and agenda in the name of "bipartisanship." Mercifully, she's gone, but we are in for a rough time going forward, as the tale of the tape shows.
It’s the first midterm election since 2006 that a party out of power has won back both chambers.Oh terrific, Mr. President? You'll be making deals with terrorists that let them destroy whatever still remains of America incrementally instead of in one fell swoop? As with Iran, the President is clueless as to who and what he is dealing with. So for the past two years Mr. President, what have the Democrats compromised on that conceded even a scintilla of the MAGA agenda. I believe the answer is nothing. Not one damned thing? They spent every moment since you were first sworn in and before it trying to impeach you as well as persecuting not only your cabinet members and advisers but even average Americans for the treasonous act of buying a MAGA hat or even donating a buck to your campaign. At best we'll have gridlock but we're going to get it right in the neck.
The final scale of the wipeout was not immediately clear due to slow vote-counting, including in the Alaska Senate race, which has ranked-choice voting.
Tuesday’s sweep also realized dreams Democrats have held for decades, including turning Senate seats in deep-red Texas and Kansas blue, as well as ending Republican governorships in Ohio and Texas, where three-term Gov. Greg Abbott’s loss was one of the most shocking of the night... The president had prefaced the midterm results by telling The Post’s “Pod Force One” podcast that he was ready to become “Mr. Veto” if needed after 2026. “They’ll be sending stuff up. You veto it,” he explained. “And eventually, after a month or two of getting all vetoed, they’re just wasting [time], they come over, and you make a deal. I think that probably would happen, but hopefully we don’t have to worry about that.”
They have telegraphed a not-so-subtle message: reprisals are coming. . . What’s driving the desire for reprisals?With all due respect to the erudite and estimable Christopher Rufo, Brazilification is the wrong word. It's Bolshevization if not outright Nazification because win lose or draw, their opponents, meaning us and anyone who dares even raise an eyebrow in disagreement, will not be going to prison, or if so it's merely a pre-execution holding cell. With bust-out socialists as well as a Muslim Brotherhood Senator now ensconced in power, I cannot even imagine where we go from here should PLEASE GOD the Democrats are indeed kept in check for the final years of the Trump presidency and beyond! So the puzzler for me is how did yesterday happen especially given the fact that a Donald Trump election three times and at the barest of minimums his candidacy in the first place represent a negation of the negation that was and is Obama and Clinton and Leftism in general happened in the first place? Solve that riddle and at the very least we have a shot at saving America. For now buy guns and ammo while we still can — I know I will be — and speak out while you still can. Ugh, what a horrid waking nightmare. But that said, don't let yesterday get you down. Take comfort in family and friends and have faith in the LORD. We shall overcome so on that note, regardless of everything horrible, count your blessings and have a good day, one and all!
First, the Democrats have long sought to invalidate the Trump phenomenon. They simply cannot accept the fact that Donald Trump became the president of the United States and that his ideas—build the wall, restore law and order, Make America Great Again—enjoy popular support. They believe Trump is an embodiment of every “ism” and “phobia” in the book: racism, sexism, nativism, Islamophobia, transphobia. To invalidate his presidency, they believe, is to invalidate these prejudices. They want to turn Trump into another Richard Nixon. If the president ends his political career in disgrace—or in prison—it will serve as a warning to any future right-wing populist that that is the inevitable fate of his movement and, if he attempts to win the presidency, his life. The second motivation for reprisals is to create a permanent deterrent against the development of a right-wing counter-elite. In previous decades, the staffer class of Democrats and Republicans had a mutual understanding, in which Republicans in Washington agreed to the boundaries determined by the Left. The Democrats might campaign hard against someone like Mitt Romney or oppose the fiscal policies of someone like Paul Ryan, but everyone understood that both Republicans would respect Democrat-defined boundaries of what was acceptable. . . Finally, a reprisal campaign would protect the Left’s institutional hegemony. The Democrats often campaign on the slogan “our democracy,” and they mean it literally. The federal bureaucracy, public universities, and public schools are almost monolithically left-wing. Democrats believe that these institutions are proprietary tools for their political movement, and that any use of them by the Right is illegitimate. They will not only seek to roll back any incursions by the Trump administration but also engage in reprisals to ensure that it never happens again. The ultimate risk is the Brazilification of our politics, in which the stakes become thus: if you win, you face reprisals in the future; if you lose, you go straight to prison.

- Now it’s time to go on, first by resetting his core team of advisers, then by testing if Democrats are willing to work with him to do right by the country these next two years — or if they demand gridlock.

It's not his 100% fault everyone 17-64 has been dealing with entry level jobs disappearing to AI and those remaining getting stagnant salaries, beef and other food prices staying skyrocketed (we now know beef prices matter way more than egg ones), gas being sky high, health insurance looking at continual double digit increases...
But he didn't empathize. He didn't try to help. He cheered AI and data centers. Tariffs were added with no direct benefit to Americans, but only the government coffer. So, Americans paid more and didn't feel anyithing for it. Then, DOW got a huge increase and we went to war with Iran, and Americans didn't feel any benefit - instead, it was more pain. And the promised benefits of deprtation also still brought almost nothing, except more security. All while they saw Trump fixate and sound off on petty things (pick what would go viral - the reflecting pool, the Kennedy Center, etc).
And Congress didn't do anything to help, either. Instead, they were a brick wall who did nothing.

I voted straight R.

Others were in denial saying that "That ain't true." So we'll see how the dims govern. I suspect Texas will turn into the next California or New York and the libs will be all "but I voted for the free stuff, why isn't anything free?"

People under 30, in general, skew Socialist. Much more than anytime I can remember.
And, as always, I just follow the Population Density. As a population trends more Urban, its going to willingly choose more regulation. More of what is called Liberalism here. Just how it works.
Why did Texas do what it did ? The dirt isn't magic. There isn't some "Texas Spirit" that permeates the body. Texas voted blue last night because of all those roads getting built in Houston. All those new apartments in Dallas. All the expansion in San Antonio.

How long will it be before all the same people start talking up backing the GOP in 2028 ? I give it less than a month. For reasons such as "its the only logical play" and "you fight with the party you've got". Don't forget my personal favorite "but things will get worse before they get better". And on and on.
The only reason we got Trump in the first place is because he jumped the line. That won't happen again. In 2018 we got over 50 House member retiring in order to give away half of Congress. Before that, the GOP response to the Tea Party wave was to reject it.
They're just not an opposition party. Never will be. Its like trying to push a rope.

There'll be a lot of analysis, but the answer is simple.
Perhaps 90+% of the 'Rons are Party-loyal Republicans. You might grouse about them constantly, but at the end of the day, no matter how many times they betrayed you, you always came back. Voting GOP is like being jumped into a gang, or taking an oath in front of a community of believers - blood in, blood out.
But... Trump Voters =/= GOP Voters.
Many of his voters are indifferent or hostile toward your Party.
That's why many of you get mad at them and can't understand why they elected Trump three times, but give the GOP nothing in midterms - you view them like Democrats view blacks... that the GOP owns their votes, and that they owe it loyalty.
They don't. The Party can't treat them like it treated you. They voted for MAGA populism. It needed to deliver on the MAGA populist agenda - and I mean BIGLY - or they were going to stay home.
It didn't deliver a single damn thing for 12 straight years, so neither did they.
Blame them all you like, but the fact of the matter is that Donald Trump served up a once-in-a-century mass movement to the GOP on a silver platter, and they threw it on the ground and walked away.

But, that's not really the point:
I think the point is, that was the inflection, the final betrayal where everyone knew the R party had no interest in doing anything the public wanted--no matter how popular.
Even if they held the Senate this year.

The ask is unclear. They got tariffs and other policy changes in those years, none of them motivated them to vote mid-terms. It's not like they flipped back and forth either.
For the time being they look like personality voters. If someone figures out what policy actually gets them to vote, then fine. Until then, we've got no way to actually appeal to them.

People are dumb voting for Acton and Brown but Husted should never have been made the senator. Ohio passing Issue 3 easily demonstrates how fucking stupid the GOP is at selecting candidates.

The ask is unclear. They got tariffs and other policy changes in those years, none of them motivated them to vote mid-terms. It's not like they flipped back and forth either.
For the time being they look like personality voters. If someone figures out what policy actually gets them to vote, then fine. Until then, we've got no way to actually appeal to them.

The precise Trump demographic has historically supported tariffs. That's obviously not the key issue with them, if one even exists.
We're in our third mid-term of them not showing up for anyone. If it were a policy formula I suspect someone would've cracked it by now. We're unlikely to come up with something by 2028 that would turn them out.

Trump will not get to pick any replacements for Alito or Thomas if they chose to retire between now and Jan. For the next 2 years, nobody Trump selects will ever get confirmed. Then, it's time for 2028. If we lose that, the Supreme Court will change forever. At least the Communists won't feel such a need to pack the SCOTUS at that point...

Could DeSantis win the SE Coast and reshore red heartland? Maybe.
I think this election says he tries and he doesn't go to Trump's cabinet. He tries for the top again, after passing some of the most popular legislation is Florida this year.

1. Liberal interventionism just won the mid-terms. Libya, Syria, Ukraine, etc. The foreign wars claim doesn't hold water.
2. Inflation is not nearly as elevated as in 2022, which did very little for a GOP win. So this also seems unlikely.

They got things they wanted from Trump - not them.
From the 2017 House budget that killed the Wall, to the SAVE act in 2026, they stopped every piece of legislation that Trump wanted - along with almost everything else. Two GOP Senates were graveyards for his agenda.
They watched during this time as that Party (at best) rolled over and played dead during his investigations and impeachments, high-fived Nancy Pelosi during the electoral coup, exulted in calling his movement an insurrection, got the vapors during his lawfare travails, and on and on.
This Party is 110% responsible for its litany of failures and it only ever won anything because of Trump and in spite of themselves.

- while leaving big ag and other business in red states that hired illegals untouched.
- Jobs sure. That went to women and minorities. DEI didn't die.
- so many high profile arrests that were dismissed or botched.
- Sitting on the Covid files, letting Grassley trickle them out, so little and redacted, that the media easily ignored--and no one arrested or even sweating over their illegality

Said shorter ... Trump really is a lot. He wears on all but the most loyal. The country just got tired of him personally.
If you could find a Nationalist Populist that stayed off social media, talked less in general and more focused and - honestly - more sanely ? That candidate would be much more popular.
And also cut down at the knees by the GOP. That's the other problem. The GOP simply won't support or abide the candidate that the majority of the public wants.
There's the issue.

On the contrary I think they are going to put Epstein on blast. Use his crimes that they benefited from to tar Trump and us as pedos.
Like the people who thought covid would be "over" if Biden got elected. No, I don't think so.
They will squeeze the Epstein lemon for all its worth and pair it up with further Investigation Theater into every single dump any Trump official has taken since 1983.

Trump was popular enough to win BECAUSE of what he is not in spite of it.

Now that they are in full control of Texas, they will take control of the elections and voter rolls like Hobbs did in Arizona and Whitmer did in Michigan in order to ensure that Texas stays permanently blue. Which means it will be impossible for a Republican to win the presidency again. Funny how you won't hear them talk about scrapping the Electoral College now that they've seized control of Texas.

Yup, you've nailed it. Everyone I know was very enthusiastic about every Republican except Trump, and especially DeSantis.
I remember so many people saying to me that they craved Ron's high-minded conservatism and were so disappointed in Trump that they regretted having to crawl over broken glass to vote for him.

The one thing I was going to keep my eye on is the effect of California redistricting.
At this point, it looks like the Cali GOP congressional delegation is going to be, at a minimum, halved, going from 8 to 4, but a couple of the other races are close, so they may go down to 1 or 2 seats.
The GOP may be completely dead in California after this election.

Instituting an income tax in Texas requires a constitutional amendment that is voted on by the people. Gina can't do shit but get congress to put it on the ballot and shill for it.
We'll see then just how fucked the state is.
As of right now, it's strictly forbidden by the state constitution.
In Texas, the income tax referendum process was significantly changed by Proposition 4, approved in 2019, which prohibits the state from levying an income tax on individuals without a two-thirds legislative vote and a statewide referendum. This means that any future attempt to impose an income tax would require a substantial legislative majority and voter approval.

This time people were encouraged to complain about it. Trump's war is absurd, without any explanation, serving no purpose. Plus political ads about Jews raising prices for everyone.
Last time, experts explained to that core inflation or whatever was much smaller than uninformed people thought and besides it's for a good cause.
People like to be told by experts what to think, especially when it's counterintuitive. It's probably the same impulse that makes one appreciate stage magicians, hypnotists, and optical illusions.

We're in a new era of communication, and only one side seems to be living in it. The old guard consultant class is about to be relegated to the dustbin of history.
If you think that high prices lost the election for the right, you don't understand marketing. Humans have no problem paying a premium for a good quality brand. Notice the word "brand", not "product". Are Nikes better than New Balance? Nope. But the brand is better. And notice what happened when they tinkered with the brand and screwed their core narrative? Nike stock fell through the basement. Did the product change? Nope. The brand did.
It's not the product, it's the brand. Results don't sell the product, the storytelling does....The committed storytelling of a couple insane podcasters was enough to fracture an entire political coalition from their own side in less than 2 years...they have zero power, zero credibility, they've never actually governed anything nor produced any results, but...they're good storytellers, and that's all that matters. Are they telling a good story? No, it's atrocious, but they're telling their atrocious story effectively and compellingly..."

The DNC-DSA op is part of capturing the "youth" away from Trump who seemed to make America and not being a communist "cool" for a short scary time for them. I do think that's gonna be the shape of the op as we continue here.
Young People Adore Communism is coming for us and it's been obvious to me since June.
Although I have been clear the GOP deserves nothing, I didn't think they would be able to sweep them away the way they have. But looking back on it I guess I'm not surprised.

I wonder how many people actually know this is coming for TX. This has been the D blueprint for states for a while now. All they have to do is get in. Then they fix the rest to ensure complete dominance. And most catastrophic of all, it will reverberate throughout the entire country as presidential elections will likely never go R again. I'm just being a realist.

City & State: ‘These Zionist establishments must go!’ Organizers of upcoming Philly ‘Boycott Ride’ target Jewish-owned eateries
A coalition of pro-Palestinian activists plans to intimidate Jewish-owned businesses on the eve of the 88th anniversary of Kristallnacht, the Nazi night of terror that destroyed thousands of Jewish homes and businesses.
--
Pro-Palestinian and anti-Israel groups organized a bicycle rally starting at Rittenhouse Square with flyers promoting a boycott under slogans like "No business for Zionists." (Ref. JNS+1)
(The central message printed on the promotional flyers declares: "No business for Zionists! These Zionist establishments must go! Not in our city!")
The organizers are urging biking participants to join a ride through Rittenhouse (fancy, fancy!) to confront targeted business owners, expressing solidarity with Palestinians. The broader boycott targets a certain restaurant group, with organizers stating that the owners materially and ideologically support the occupation and raise funds for

Aside from one, all the other businesses are owned by American Jews, a distinction not evident in the rally flyer.
The "Boycott Ride" protest in Philadelphia is still scheduled to take place on November 8, 2026. Senators Dave McCormick and John Fetterman have criticized the event as intimidation and rank antisemitism.

When God freed his people from bondage they were crossing the desert. Moses stopped to speak with God. In his absence the people not only committed many abominations but built a pagan statue and worshiped it.
Remember God had just freed them, and they knew it.

I don't blame Trump, but clearly some things he did were not popular. But yes, his own party restrained him.
At this point, it doesn't matter. He is going to be a real lame duck, which does come with some opportunities, should he choose to take them. But even then, he will still be constrained by his party.

A majority of people will never believe in republicanism or republican virtues.
You say that budget deficits are worrisome, they bring an expert saying that budget deficits promote growth or some BS. It's a serious theory and he or she is a Nobel prize winner.
You say inflation is bad, they say it's actually good for the common people (except when Trump is president).
You say that drugs are bad, they have 100 medical studies about the benefits of marijuana.
You say that communism is bad, they invite the North Korean ambassador to explain why his country is a paradise.
How is the average voter to decide? A democratic republic cannot last. People are too easy to fool.

The problem is, most everybody does when it benefits them. America has been a Tax My Neighbor country my entire life. Not this Noble Band of Rugged Individualists I sometimes see pimped here. And certainly not the hazy Norman Rockwell memories some push.
Blame FDR I guess. Or the Social Engineering of the 1960s done in the name of the Civil Rights Act. Hell - blame Reagan for letting the first 1 Million Illegals stay, and for signing EMTALA opening the door for the right to Health Care while we're at it. Blame W for turning almost half the country into non-Federal Tax Payers.
This rock has been rolling down-hill and picking up steam for a long time.

News Nation interview with two TX pols, one a Black woman and the other a Hispanic man. The bottomline, voters didn't do their due diligence.
CAL Matters Voters' Guide: Proposition 40 would require the estimated 200 Californians whose net worth exceeded $1 billion at the start of this year to pay a one-time 5% tax. Service Employees International Union-United Healthcare Workers West, the group that put the measure on the ballot, projects that it would raise roughly $100 billion over five years. That money would be earmarked primarily for healthcare, with some reserved for food assistance and education. If propositions 41 or 42 earn more votes than Proposition 40, this measure would be nullified.
Gov. Gavin Newsom warned it would prompt the state’s wealthiest to move out of California and take their tax money with them.
AP, "Progressive politicians, including Sanders and Massachusetts Sen. Elizabeth Warren, have long supported a federal wealth tax. Newsom said a California wealth tax would disadvantage the state, but he supports a national minimum tax on anyone with a net worth above $100 million."
The $ is already dropping. 😏

fast forward to the end:
Trump doesn't accept JD/Pardon and cTHIEL's accendancy -- Trump is the storm: fight, Fight, FIGHT
Trump has to throw down against both while he still can, to get them to destroy each other. DS cannot exist without cTHIEL, neither can operate without his permission -- that's the key, but there are a few things in the way: Brennan, and his enablers, to this day.
Trump can't save, mELONhead, the Harry Lime scene with mollusk like fingers reaching for freedom from the grate below is the inevitability Trump will ultimately embrace, with candidate Bezos'28 and Petraeus by his side. He'll look down and whisper: NO.

Every freakshow podcaster on the “Right,” from Tucker to Candace and everyone in between spent the last two years demoralizing their 10s of millions of listeners with the message that the GOP betrayed them, Trump is controlled by the “Epstein class,” that their vote doesn’t matter, and that they have no agency or sovereignty over their lives or their nations politics.
So millions of demoralized people on the Right stayed home. That’s what happened. The base didn’t show up because they were told it didn’t matter. And they’re about to spend 2 years re-learning why it did matter."

This result reminds me of Old Blighty voting in the Labour Party in the last election,
because they weren't happy with the Conservatives and wanted a change (in this case) in migration policy, and instead they got-
triple the fuckery!
And they're bound by their own laws to tolerate it for what?...five more years without even the chance of reprieve.
That's what happened here.

I mean, they can and likely will, but we are about at the point of mass noncompliance anyways.
You don't watch people like Piker, or see the reaction to Kirk's assassination, and say "gee, I should let these loons disarm me"
The biggest Dem problems are ones we probably still don't have to deal with for 2 more years: throwing the border open and defacto bans on gas/diesel personal vehicles. Both are catostrophic, though only the first is effectively irreversible.
Use the time we have to prepare. This is not the UK, and things will get very ugly very fast when they try to pull the same stunts here foisting invaders on us

Most people don't give a shit about politics and don't even pay attention to anything outside their AO. Making hard decisions has a cost.

DEI. Nature funds. Blue/climate finance.
Several U.S. states (Kansas, Idaho, Maine, Texas, Massachusetts) have recently passed or introduced legislation and ballot measures to reduce minimum residential lot sizes and encourage more affordable housing.
Realtor com: Rhode Island Voters Back $120 Million Bond Measure To Support Affordable Housing
California, Proposition 1: Housing affordability programs bond The measure would allow the state to borrow more than $11 billion to help housing programs. Supporters say its passage would inject needed money into projects that are ready to be built. The funds would come from bonds, not taxpayers, and cost the state an estimated $500 to $600 million annually for about 25 years to repay them. It faced no registered opposition. With 59% of voters in support, the AP projected the measure would pass.
OTOH several states did pass measures to limit property taxes or establish property tax exemptions.

We're headed for one party rule, like it or not. Democrats have a hammerlock on key states and they're going to move hard to consolidate their gains. Any judges who dare to rule based on law will be summarily removed from office.
Remember, the people who have been voted into office condone violence against their perceived enemies. And we know it's not just talk because their side has been violent.
That said, I hope to make TX next year so I get the chance to hug some of the nicest and smartest people I've ever had the pleasure to associate with.

No, it drove more to the right, but they're hurting when a lot of institutions and careers you are surrounded by people cheering Kirk's murder and trying to root out those who don't and cancel you. They are shut out of many jobs and schools, and it is deliberate.
The prog capture of the legal system enables them to fling death threats and commit assaults with little consequence. They are doing a rerun of early 30's Spain.

VDH discussed how both Clinton and Obama were below 40 at the same point, six years into their administrations, and also lost a lot of seats in the midterms. They then took up their own agendas and bypassed Congress, and he brings the receipts.
He also said that if there was a blue wave, he thought the Senators who would remain are all pretty loyal to Trump and MAGA, which is a blessing.
Anyway, VDH is a great historian and it’s a short segment that’s well worth listening to.

Democrats turned out because of their hatred for Trump.
Republicans didn't turn out because the GOP gave them absolutely nothing to turn out for. 'Vote for us so we can spend the next 2 years in the Senate on vacation 60% of the time, just like the last 2 years' is not exactly a campaign ad.
They did NOTHING voters wanted.

Top Story
- Microsoft has made Windows 11 suck 20% less if you are running with just 8GB of RAM. (Tom's Hardware)
It is at least a step in the right direction. Albeit after a double marathon in the wrong direction.
I have two old laptops with 8GB of soldered RAM that I might give this a try on.
- Some crazy person not working for Microsoft got Windows 11 running in 128MB of RAM. (Tom's Hardware)
It can even load Notepad. And the Start Menu. Well, about half the Start Menu, judging from the video. The icons never load.
Tech News
- Bethesda had confirmed the new Elder Scrolls game, Sentinel, is on its way. (Video Games Chronicle)
Release expecting in Q1 2374.
- Fujifulm is increasing its production of backup tapes fivefold to satisfy the growing demands of AI datacenters. (Ars Technica)
This involves an investment of 10 billion yen... Which is only about $60 million, or about half an Nvidia RTX 5090.
- Lenovo's fingerprint-controlled AES-256 encrypted USB stick was, it turns out, none of those things. (Tom's Hardware)
Inside it was a plain micro SD card that you could just pop out and read anyway.
- Intel's Moon Lake and Wildcat Lake Refresh are on their way. (Notebook Check)
Wildcat Lake is used in entry-level Windows laptops competing with Apple's popular MacBook Neo. It only has one or two "performance" cores, plus four low-power cores, making it fine for basic tasks but less pleasant for anything demanding. Wildcat Lake Refresh is expected to expand the performance core count to four, making it a perfectly acceptable solution for normal people.
Moon Lake meanwhile goes in the opposite direction, with the performance cores reduced to zero.
- Intel's Raptor Lake is also getting a refresh, or more accurately, a re-re-refresh. (Notebook Check)
Raptor Lake is at the heart of Intel's 13th and 14th generation processors, and also certain subsequent 100-series and 200-series mobile parts. It's the most capable Intel architecture that still supports cheaper DDR4 memory, which is why Intel is keeping it alive, and also why I have two 13900HX systems sitting in my study right now waiting for a DIMM/SSD transplant from a dead laptop.

Lenovo's fingerprint-controlled AES-256 encrypted USB stick was, it turns out, none of those things. (Tom's Hardware)
Inside it was a plain micro SD card that you could just pop out and read anyway.
I like that Lenovo's excuse is that those USB sticks are only sold in China (which means the CCP had a backdoor in it anyhow), and that researcher's told them about the problem months ago and they released a firmware patch for it.
How bad are things where you need an outside team to inform you that your biometric protected and encrypted USB stick is actually just a fancy USB stick that requires extra steps that are actually useless?
Even the Chinese are getting conned by the Chinese.

I don't think so. I'll repost what I said in the ONT:
"In 2022, Abbot was +11. Tonight he was somewhere between -8 to -10 or so (depending on the final count). That's a swing of around 20 points in 4 years' time. . . . I don't think anyone will be able to show such a demographic [change] in 4 years. I don't know what explains tonight, but demographic changes is not it, not in TX."

You're not wrong on that.
I had heard of an upstate write-in effort for her former opponent in the primary, which would have siphoned off some support.
But write-in's accounted for only .2% of all votes cast, which did not materially effect the outcome.

I wouldn't go that far for Dorchester and Berkeley.
Charleston county has always had that leans D just because of the demographics.
This is reminding me of 2018 when Joe Cunningham won the 1st District.
I think the population is changing with all the Northeasterners and Ohionans and Michiganers who have moved here but I also think the 1st District will go back to the GOP in 2028 like it did in 2020 when Mace won. If Mace had stayed in that race, instead of running for governor, she probably would have held it.

I was looking at the down-ballot races in both of them this morning, and there is a noticeable shift to the Dem side.
In Dorchester, three of the four county council races went Dem.

Yeah, that's going to show up in votes eventually.
We'll have to see the trends over the next few years to find out how the refugees are voting.
Nobody should be voting for Dems locally unless you like having higher property taxes, higher sales taxes, more fraud, and more criminals walking out of jail because they have the right skin color.
I also think it was a problem of too many people here thinking it was handled and the Republicans would win as usual.
So they stayed home and the Dems showed up.
That's how 2018 happened.
But back in the day, the First District was often a Dem.
We had Fritz Hollings in the senate for decades.
It's only been since the 90s that the GOP has dominated the state.

It looks like I was completely wrong. I expected surprisingly good R results followed by a protracted guerilla campaign of "Elections are broken!". That felt like what the media was setting us all up for.
Instead, they just let their idiot mutant garbage babies win outright. I'm honestly somewhat impressed. They either cheated, which will inevitably come out and tarnish their brand even further, or they didn't, which should be yet another signal that the GOP is a dogshit party that needs to be bagged up and thrown to the curb.

If I were president-elect of the country, it’s the last thing I would say. Even if I believed it, I doubt that I would put it this way. But I don’t believe this anyway. Our darkest days are ahead of us? What a bleak way of looking at things. … We Americans have adapted to our problems. … Our freedom has allowed our adaptability. If disaster is coming our way, we don’t just sit there and endure it. We come up with ways to avoid it, to beat it back, to overcome it, but we don’t just sit there and accept it. And, as such, we don’t just resign ourselves to the fact that they’re living in the darkest days because we, at least to this point, still have the greatest degree of freedom of any people on earth. Now, it’s under assault and under attack and we all know this. But I don’t believe our darkest days are ahead of us. I never have. People have been asking, “You’ve always told us you’d tell us when it’s time to panic. Is it time?” It’s never time to panic, folks. It’s never, ever gonna be time to give up on our country. It will never be time to give up on the United States. It will never be time to give up on yourself. Trust me.

Bad news is we lost senate seats that won't be winnable for six years. Gut wrenching.
Here's the good news: in terms of electoral prospects, this is super easy to fix. Trivial, even:
1. End the tariffs now. If the Admin wants to make a case for a few targeted ones for bad actors, fine. But the broad tariffs must stop.
2. Either go balls to the wall on Iran to finish the regime, or pull out of the war. Do more limited stuff like "midnight hammer" if Iran tries to rebuild its nuclear program, but that's it.
3. Do not back off the stuff that IS going well, and a lot is. Crime at record lows. Border under control. ATF and 2nd Amendment Section doing great work. Government employment reduced. Etc. Do not learn the wrong lessons from what was an inflation-related election blowout and undermine the things that are working.

After last night, Trump has no support both politically or popularly to do anything except, pull an Emily Latilla in Iran.
Trump fell into one of the classic blunders.
And it’s going to take a long time for us to extricate ourselves from the wreckage.

It's done. There's nothing left to do. They either wither on the vine and collapse, or hang around as a thorn in the world's ass until they run out of things that go boom. They can't loom over the region and threaten full scale invasion against any neighbors, and they definitely can't threaten any rogue nuclear exchanges.
This is the right point to stop. Why fuck up a victory condition by going all Neocon and "finishing it" just because some rich people who can't even identify Farsi if they saw it think that "Mission Accomplished" mean bootsondaground, always and forever?
China lost a useful tool in their toolbox. Along with many others. That's your Mission Accomplished. But wahh i got to spend an extra buck on gas like i've had to for the last twenty fucking years, so let's all vote for communists instead.

I even had confidence then, but watching Iran in the Strait and too little being done to stop them or find an alternative pretty much turned everything sideways.
If they had all stuck to working on fraud and getting the SAVE act passed, and then waited several months for Iran, it may have played out differently.
Trump made that choice and now he has to deal with it.

s problem on Iran is that he first, bombed them last year and then said the nuclear program was finished, completely destroyed.
Then seven months later he decides to unload on them again over their nuclear weapons programs.
That was bad enough but then we went through five or six cease fires and peace deals that went nowhere and made Trump look the fool.
Top it off by blaming it all on Bibi and a lot of people who went for Trump, but aren't fans of Israel, decided to sit it out or vote Dem.
Trump's wanting to make a deal so badly with people who don't want a deal and don't want to deal with him, has been his Achilles Heal this year.
All of Trump's enemies, worldwide, are just waiting him out.

I tend to think that it is legit.
I have watched previously staunch, right thinking conservatives veer off into the 'free shit' direction just in the last year.
Mrs VIA came home from a 'girls week' vacation just last month shaken to the core with a friend that is her closest friend going off on how Canada has it figured out and that how unfair capitalism is.
And one of the common threads is a child in the family who has recently graduated from college.
Our 28 year old son's group of friends growing up has broken cleanly into two groups. The blue collar side, which is as conservative as you can imagine, and the college educated side, which has without exception gone to the Progressive side.
I am currently in an active text conversation with one of our son's friends who went the blue collar route and is lamenting the loss of his college educated brother to the dark side.

It occurred to me that back in 2016 every one of us was all DOOM and GLOOM because everyone *KNEW* Hillary Clinton was going to win.
And yet...that didn't happen.

This is from NBCNews website:
About the Remaining Vote
Ken Paxton would need to win 61.1% of the remaining vote to catch or overtake James Talarico, who leads.
They are showing 55% counted and Talarico leads by about 1.1 million votes.
They are estimating 4.657 million votes left to count.

I feel this deeply, perfessor. Partly because politics aren't my identify. I feel my political beliefs deeply, but they are separate from who I am.
For the left, it feels like their political beliefs are their identity. So if you disagree with them, it's not just a difference of opinion, you're attacking them. Their sense of self is totally tied to if the country votes red or blue. That is an incredibly unhealthy way to live.

Predated him.
We've always been a deeply divided country since that unfortunate business in the south.
Historically, the party out of power wins. It's not unusual, it's the norm. When a party in power achieves what they said they would do their supporters become complacent and the party out of power gets energized. Human nature.
What is really concerning is Paxton just lost. I was really hoping Texas would hold the line.

Hinson (R) in Iowa has cut the lead down to 12.16% with 34% of the vote in. Hopefully, she'll win but she has a considerable hole to climb out of.
Nebraska, we're down 11.13% with 37% of the vote in. A repeat of Iowa.
Not looking good in Kansas. May have an outside chance in South Carolina (down 4.12% with 87% reporting) but doesn't look good right now.

My view now is that God is working in this country, and how He is working is not something I can grasp. He spared Trump from an assassin's bullet. A great deal of evil and corruption has been exposed. Young leaders have emerged in the conservative ranks.
2020 and 2024 made me view my own opinions of how this country should be saved very differently. As much as I would like us to simply vote our way out of this, politics alone will not save this country, and God is working towards a spiritual solution. I believe that Trump is part of that, but I don't know the playbook.
If it wasn't for God's hand so clearly moving as shown in 2020 and 2024, and Trump's narrow escape, I would be much more discouraged by the apparent future of the US.

If you all want to blame someone, it's not Trump. We had the House and the Senate too. It was a chance to turn this country around from the disaster inflicted by Obama and Biden. Trump did everything he could and more through executive orders . He fulfilled just about every promise.
What did the RINOs do? The Senate sat on every damn bill the House sent and refused to codify Trump's EOs. And they refused to pass the SAVE America Act. They blocked him at every turn. That's who deserves your ire, not Trump.
And whining about the "war" in Iran doesn't cut it. Iran needed to be destroyed and Trump was the only one with the guts to do it. They've been murdering us for nearly 5 decades. Trump took them out without even putting forces on the ground. God bless him.

All kinds of cleaning up of voter rolls, redistricting on Republican favor in a number of states, probably cyberwarfare regarding electronic voting machines. Are they really going to let the Dems steal Congress, when Trump only has two years left to do what he has to do?
What might they have up their sleeve? Prosecuting enough Dems - throwing them out of Congress - to restore the balance? Omar is only the first, I presume. There may be quite a few...

The opposite. I always saw the silver lining in Romney's loss as the damage he would have done to the conservative movement.
LizLem, we don't know if Trump was on the ballot in Texas, Georgia, and SC tonight. Those voters might actually want boys in girls' locker rooms and DEI and a wave of illegals -- or they might be too indifferent to cast a vote. I think JD Vance and Rubio will stick hard to patriotic principles. Of course the press will insert Trump into every question, but they're smart enough to provide an answer about America.
The one big issue that honestly scares me: "free" healthcare for all. If Trump could only do something about medical costs.

Maybe after a 50% retracement, there might be a buying opportunity, but at the moment, it (imo) would be just buying into the (inflation) bubble. But I'm only small in gold mining, and mostly cash. And I've been wrong mostly, since the dotcom bubble. heh

For Democrats to romp in places they haven't romped in a very long time, something spectacularly disastrous had to occur and that is gas being north of 4 dollars a gallon which basically make the price of everything remain high even as overall inflation has crept down, coupled with, let's face it, the democrats going full blown marxist, which has provided a bloodlust and an energy to their retarded voters.
The next two years is just going to be a grind.

Yes, and the first order of business is to primary John Thune. Unless he somehow gets the Senate to pass the SAVE act in the final days of 2026. Remember, the House passed it, and Thune never allowed a vote to come to the Senate floor.
There is no way I will be watching the national news for the next 2 years, because the press is 98% Democrat activists. Trump still has power but the progress the nation made in the last 2 years is over. Now it's 2 years of Veto Trump, and the nonsense of failed mass impeachment of anyone that ever met Trump.

The average price of gas is 4.15, the average price of diesel is 6.30.
The price of gas does not affect me, generally, as for the most part, I'm in rental cars with fuel paid for by the projects I work on.
But it affects most people in a profound way as it affects the economy in a profound way.

Charlie Kirk inspired a ton of young kids that are growing up now, in believing in conservative principles, and that they should have a voice and a say too, not just their violent, noisy woke peers. I hope they grow up strong and can fight their green/red loser peers.

I lost.
Weston: Hughes 2733 Harris 1903
Redding: Hughes 2726 Harris 1773
Easton: Hughes 896 Harris 994
Totals: Hughes 6355 Harris 4670
I actually did very well in same-day voting. I was able to make up the Early Voting deficit I had in Easton to win here, but Weston and Redding were just too much. If the Anne Hughes news came out a week earlier, I would have definitely won. There were several people that said if they knew who Hughes really was, they would have changed their votes to me. These were hardcore Dems talking.
Two possible bright spots: CT may take a hard look at Early Voting. Two weeks before ED is way too much. Second, Hughes is highly damaged goods. I don't expect her to stay there for long. I think the Dems may find a way to underbus her - she really made them look bad.
I'm going to run again. My family wants me to do it, and I want to do it too. Thanks, Morons, for supporting me.

Here's one approach: 21 stocks, in equal dollar amounts, a bit shy of 5% each. Seven stocks in cybersecurity, seven in semiconductors/Big Tech (Amazon, Apple, Google, etc), and seven energy stocks (LNG is nice). Any stock gets to 10%, rebalance. Follow them all and weed the garden as necessary. Reinvest as you go into new positions at 5% of current portfolio value.
Over the med to long term, keep a solid hold of your liquidity needs, and things will be ok.

Don't think it will be all rosy with Dems. Biden et al were responsible for shutting down a number of refineries - those that refine diesel, which is why it's so much more expensive than even gasoline. Did you think their Green New Deal was going to lower energy costs? Pull the other one, it jingles.
Even if we ended Iran right now (win or withdraw), the refinery problem still exists.
Just like the beef shortage problem still exists, and will still exists in 2027.

I really didn't expect the Dems to do this well - I was with Ben Had all the way on this election.
That said, there may be more bad news coming. The Dems already have an advantage with the MFM doing a lot of the psyops heavy lifting. The temporary bright spot was the massive money advantage the GOP had. Once Anthropic goes public, there will be thousands of multimillionaires and billionaires who are aligned with the Left, and who will have the money to give to the DNC. Once OpenAI goes public in 2027, they can get even more money.
The good news for us? Biden was POTUS two years ago today, and there is not one non-moron (the bad kind) on the Left that can actually run things competently. These guys are like the dog that caught the car.

This was demonstrated in 2018 and 2022 with missing Trump voters. The Democrats had the same problem with Obama. It wouldn't be surprising at all for that to be a major driver here. Republicans can't run Trump again and don't have any comparably talented politicians as far as retail politics go, and appeal to the same specific set of voters is iffy.

I would argue that there is a age shift that is starting to kick in and skews hard towards the progressive politics. The first time I experienced this was during the Wall Street protests, a pack of lunatics but they were hell bent on burning everything down. 15 years on they learned to shower and moderate weed smoking and are now gaining real political power. It still seems premature to say this but this feels like the first election where this demographic change is kicking in. Plus 40 million illegals.

It is possible, though I wouldn't bank on this, that the OnlyTrump voter is an OnlyPresidential election voter. Absent that being true it doesn't make sense to treat Michigan as being competitive.

So, if that happens, any real conservative type ought to be running ads the next two years reminding the voters that it's their fault and laughing at the end. Won't win an election that way, but rubbing the voters' faces in it might bring them to their senses. It wasn't the candidates they could have voted for, it's they themselves to blame.

Massive influx of Hindu Indians, majority of them on H-1B work visas and then the others on the visas to bring over their families.

Or, it was massive 2020 style cheating on a state wide basis. They found 20,000 fake D ballots in Houston, do you think that was all they printed?
I can prove it was voter fraud: When Dems print up fake ballots they don't randomize down ticket votes. The same fraud that defeated Paxton also won the governor and Lt. Governor races as well as the Attorney general election. Nobody in the state was mad at any of those people, and the Dems were running a slate of loons.

The only people who are surprised by what's happening in Texas are people who don't live in Texas.
We don't see Americans. Or hear English. Texans are nowhere to be found. Whole areas are ethnic enclaves. Democrats are everywhere. Shit loads of huge companies have come here and moved their entire third world/leftist workforces with them.

No, this makes no sense of this election.
Trump won TX by 14 two years ago.
Abbott won TX by 11 four years ago.
The demographics of TX have not swung that wildly in 2-4 years time. They just haven't.
So you have to come up with another explanation.
Either there is anger at/disaffection with the GOP. Or there was gargantuan urban fraud in TX.

That's true about the elections. What is likely is that they'll push idiotic energy policies that put the electrical grid at risk, and if (more likely, when) the grid fails, they'll be concentrated in urban areas, which will be a massive disadvantage for them.
I don't plan on being in those areas, being near retirement age and having the resources to locate to a remote area where the grid doesn't matter all that much. I've been in discussion with family and friends about this, and people like myself will simply relocate and watch the events unfold.

No. All she innocently did was vote D no matter who. If you were to ask her what was special about the D candidate, what they offered that the R didn't, she'd give you a blank stare.
My own personal experience is that if you point out whatever they are complaining about was a direct campaign promise of the candidate they boasted about voting for you get one of the following:
1) You are wrong, that isn't true, she never said or did that
2) No, its actually Trump's fault.
3) Its just bad luck no one could have seen it coming
Again for things the candidate they chose said she was going to do and then DID to fanfare in the local news.

The Millionaires tax is getting smoked 530K yes and 750K no. More importantly is is losing in King County (Seattle) with 66% no votes.
Trans ban bill is winning (no trans in girl's sports) with 801K yes and 601K no. King County is split evenly which is a huge boost for this bill.
Generally speaking how King County votes determines the outcome of a bill/race.

One problem with the Democrat plan: It only takes ONE side to start a war. Likewise, it only takes ONE side to CONTINUE a war.
If the U.S. pulls out of the Straits of Hormuz, then Iran can take 20 million barrels/day of crude oil out of the global markets.
I think oil could then go to $150/bbl. Perhaps even $200 if they can get drone hits on the alternate supply routes as they get established.
The world doesn't operate the same way as their cute academic models that are never challenged on the campus political monoliths.
The EU (that relies on imported oil) does not have the combined firepower to control the Straits.

Grok:
Approximately 230,000 (as of the most detailed available estimate), with the number likely higher today due to population growth — likely in the 250,000 – 350,000 range. There is no single, official, up-to-the-minute headcount of “Indian-origin eligible voters in Texas” published by the Census Bureau or Texas election authorities broken out by detailed ethnicity every year. Estimates come from analyses of American Community Survey (ACS) data by groups such as AAPI Data.
Key figures
AAPI Data analysis of 2022 ACS data: About 227,718 eligible Indian American voters in Texas (U.S. citizens age 18+). Texas ranked second nationally after California.
Indian population in Texas 2000: ~130,000
Indian population in Texas 2025: ~708,000
Muslim population 2000: ~115,000
Muslim population 2020: ~300,000-500,000

Where is this? Do you have a link?
It would be nice for Horde in WA like Nurse to wake up with news that Seattle is not totally insane! Apparently every time an income tax has gone up for a vote, the people vote it down. Legislators were trying to pull a fast one, sneaking it into a bill.
Also, I'm sure the left tried to pretend that not allowing the income tax to pass would kill kids. Or worded the proposition weird. Good on the WA voters for actually seeing through that.
It takes grassroots people on the ground to get these propositions, the ones to stop the income tax, proposed and on the ballot. If the income tax goes down in flames, congrats to the grassroots people that made a difference.

Which is all meaningless noise. Because the statistical comparisons you need to make to make your case that demographic changes explain the TX results tonight involve comparing 2022 (when Abbot won +11), 2024 (when Trump won +14), and 2026. Complaining about the change since 2000, when the GOP had only been dominant about 6 years at the statewide level, after generations of Democrat dominance here, is a non-sequitur.

All of these Red States that fell actually have pretty tight voting laws.
You don't seem to understand the difference between Voter fraud, and election fraud.
The 20,000 fake ballots they found in Houston are only the tip of the iceberg. Nobody in the state was mad at the Governor, Lt Governor, or the Republican candidate for Attorney general yet they all lost by about the same fraudulent margins as Paxton. We could have run Jesus in this election and Democrat Lucifer von Satan would have won by the same margins.

With the way the leftists have governed in the past and with what they're going to do, it is best to prepare for a catastrophe to happen. The grid could collapse, inflation will go through the roof, we could have an EMP attack from Iran, and the left is just flat-out totalitarian, wanting to severely punish those who merely disagree with them - it's bleak right now.

the answer to expensive energy is to allow data centers (who will mysteriously be allowed to build after the correct donations) to directly compete with the existing energy consumer OR just as likely be expempted from the EPA regs that keep consumer electric generation from using coal and other sources for their own private grids) people forget the trusts Teddy Roosevelt was busting?

There's not much gap between Abbott in 2022 (+11), without Trump on the ballot, and Trump in 2024 (+14). That Cruz election in 2018 (+2.5) is the only statewide TX race I am aware that was even close in the last 30 years or so. Until tonight. Anyone who thinks changed demographics in TX explain tonight are not going to be able to use historical election results over the last three decades to make that case.

What did the RINOs do? The Senate sat on every damn bill the House sent and refused to codify Trump's EOs. And they refused to pass the SAVE America Act. They blocked him at every turn. That's who deserves your ire, not Trump.
And whining about the "war" in Iran doesn't cut it. Iran needed to be destroyed and Trump was the only one with the guts to do it. They've been murdering us for nearly 5 decades. Trump took them out without even putting forces on the ground. God bless him.

@EdWhelanEPPC
On judicial nominations, massive Democrat takeover of Senate means:
1. Trump will not be able to appoint any justices or judges during his last two years in office (absent one-sided deal in favor of Dems).
2. If a Republican is elected president in 2028, that president will not be able to appoint any justices or judges until Republicans regain the Senate. Given the deep hole, that might not happen until 2033.
3. I'd be extremely surprised if any justice announces resignation now (for end of term) in hope of lame-duck confirmation of successor. Among other things, it's highly doubtful that Rs would have the vote to confirm. If Sherrod Brown wins Ohio seat, he gets sworn into Senate in early December, so Senate becomes 52R-48D. Collins and Murkowski would be unlikely to support anyone Trump would nominate. John Cornyn, Thom Tillis, and Bill Cassidy aren’t going to be eager to do Trump any favors. And there are other senators—e.g., John Curtis of Utah—who would be leery of anyone Trump would be eager to push through.

Iran is close to becoming a nuclear power and Iran's missile technology is at a point where they could soon launch intercontinental ballistic missiles.
Once they have these two technologies working, they could take out a substantial portion of the US with an EMP attack which would take out large portions of the grid, which would in turn kill a large number of US citizens. Estimate of a successful EMP attack have ranged from 65% to 99% deaths in the areas affected and these areas are huge. The Starfish Prime test in 1962 took out transformers in Hawaii that were 900 miles away, and those transformers have long-lead times when it comes to building and replacing them - estimates are on the order of years during good times, and in a case where an EMP attack happens, perhaps longer than a decade.
That will kill off a lot of people due to the petroleum refineries, water treatment and sewage treatment plants going down since they rely upon electrical power to operate.

If you all want to blame someone, it's not Trump. We had the House and the Senate too. It was a chance to turn this country around from the disaster inflicted by Obama and Biden. Trump did everything he could and more through executive orders . He fulfilled just about every promise.
What did the RINOs do? The Senate sat on every damn bill the House sent and refused to codify Trump's EOs. And they refused to pass the SAVE America Act. They blocked him at every turn. That's who deserves your ire, not Trump.
And whining about the "war" in Iran doesn't cut it. Iran needed to be destroyed and Trump was the only one with the guts to do it. They've been murdering us for nearly 5 decades. Trump took them out without even putting forces on the ground. God bless him.

This takes me back to when Biden supposedly won with 81M legit American votes. Or when countless millions supposedly voted for Kamala, who is pretty much retarded.
Absurd on it's face, as is a lot of other things we're hearing. Sounds like massive election fraud going on.
Yet, there DO seem to be people who are absurdly pissed about the current Iran war, even though casualties are lower than what you get with normal training accidents. Are people really so retarded that they think Iran either isn't working on nukes, or wouldn't use them in a NY minute? Or that Iran is a NEW "forever war", rather than ending an already existing one? Or that gasoline prices won't come way down eventually, due to many Trump initiatives?

Democrats are now the party of Islam and Marxism. The traditional Dems that bowed to the DSA because of their energy have given their power over to the Infidels. They will never get it back, so to stay in the DSA good graces, they will bend over again and again to screw America "for the good of the party."

Assuming Republicans lose the seats where prediction markets have the Democrats at 90+% to win, that would produce 55 Democrat Senate seats.
Chance of confirming a worthy successor to Justice Thomas and/or Alito during President Trump’s term: Zero.
Chance of confirming a worthy successor during a hypothetical GOP admin 2029-2033: probably zero (GOP won’t be able to recapture enough seats in 2

I don't get it. My upstate NY county is safe Republican and had a 54% turnout.
=========
Like many actual conservative Republican voters, I have much to say about our state's political leadership. They are in thrall to the Chamber of Commerce, which wants its cheap imported labor, all consequences be damned. Trump's success has come from the Ohio voters, not the country club Republican leaders. Vivek got tarred with the H1B brush & his campaign never got it discredited.

The young whippersnapper woke politicians will feel entitled and think they should lead. Step aside, Clinton era boomers! Nancy won't be running things in the house, but from the sidelines. Still powerful, but hobbled. All the old guard dems who feel they should be leading now she's gone will be fighting with the fascist brown shirts newly minted into the party.
Never doubt that while the dems are united in their hate of us, they are still incompetent petty fools. I look forward to their missteps as they inevitably mess things up.
Also, Trump is actually willing to make a deals with them. He made deals with Iran, he'll make deals with actual Americans. But they won't be able to --you can't make desks with Hitler, they will say! -- so he'll just veto everything.
I hope they overplay their hand and show they are truly lizard fascist people, and then there is a swing rightward in 2028. We will see! It'll be a wild two years. Glad to have you all with me to kvetch about it with.

Greg Abbott’s top donor was a Pakistani Muslim.
He also traveled to India and did a lot to cement business ties with them. If it turns out both groups voted him out, sucks, but he should have known the snake/scorpion was going to bite him after he helped it cross the river! Trump even has a fairy tale about it.
The demographics breakdowns of how all the votes from tonight landed in Texas, and also in other states, will be really fascinating. Ages, races, gender, etc. I hope a deep dive is done on it.
I actually suspect more Hispanics might still be coming over to the republican side. Just not enough to counteract the illegal immigrant, legal immigrant, asylum seekers, and H1B visa votes.

It is very stupid of the people who vote for socialism, commies, open boarders, evils like abortion & trannies. People have always been very stupid.
My top things to vote against are open boarders, trannies, aboriton & loss of freedom of speech as we are seeing in the UK and Europe today. Those are my fears for our sons and grandchildren.
In all this God is in control, He is my refuge, strength, peace, & my personal life will not change. Similar to how it didn't change when Obungo beat Romney & the gloaters crowed for their brief time of not crapping their diapers.
I am lucky, in other than having a strong faith and happy life, I am married to a very wise and calm man. Not that I was shieking like a banshee at the sky tonight, because that would be a waste, & I am also calm. His words make sense of it all.

Republican consultants will be back in charge, teaching the party how to lose gracefully. Both Kristol and Carlson will get the recognition they deserve. People will be taught to believe politicians once more, as their opinions naturally evolve.
USAID will be rebuilt. Money will again flow like water to the right organizations. The march toward transsexuality and beyond will resume. Adults (Democrat career public "servants") will be back in charge. Musk's enterprises will be boycotted or nationalized.

I don't know if Roberts is gonna look at this shitshow and fold on Viramontes, or if he will stick it out only to have a packed or remodeled court scrap the 2A in 2029.
That is a high likelyhood of kicking things off. Though a lot of people, uh, over 29 who paid off what is realistically the last car they will ever own should not discount the effect Dem defacto ICE bans will have. The instant they get back into the WH they are basically telling millions of young Americans they will never own a car and experience the associated freedom of movement. That would be catastrophic and I am very concerned about my kids owning vehicles. I can stash guns, I can't cache a pickup.

It is worse because we are running out of runway.
Under Obama, by the time the 2016 election rolled around my peers in the office were openly circulating jokes in email about murdering republicans over pretty vanilla policy clashes about taxes, healthcare, and perceived racial grievances.
Now those same people are carrying on about it over shit like trannies and illegals and pronouns. During the BLM crap my company actually gave people unlimited PTO to go riot and let the loons send company-all emails extolling the burning of local businesses. By the time the place imploded last year we had people on zoom calls wearing shirts with violent threats on them. And we all know the ongoing Kirk football-spiking.

Texas has, what 19-20 million registered voters? Last stat I looked at, 7-8 million votes were in, according to what has been counted? But I doubt cast votes reaches more than 10 million, so half.

Most of the signature issues that got Trump into the WH the 2nd time have been successfully addressed/are clearly in progress: border security, immigration enforcement, crime reduction, massive energy economy growth, very low unemployment, 3%+ growth, real wage increase (2nd time in generations, first time was 2019). Armed services meet their recruitment goals months ahead of schedule, state racism/social engineering (wildly unpopular) being abolished, etc.
Opposition party with the most outlandishly bad candidates perhaps in modern times, with no agenda, that's only made news for years with repugnant stunts like assaulting fed LE and the like - wins a wave election??

The US and international press are turning this into Trump's personal defeat. A lot of people, including Republican politicians, want Trump to go away.

I was wrong.
Annie Andrews ran a smart campaign, stayed moderate, ran on lowering healthcare costs and against Darline and he backers in "The Swamp".
Then they sent out a barrage of robocalls for three days, which I have never seen in SC on that scale.
I believe Andrews was also helped put by a lot of blue-state refugees moving to the suburbs and cities from the Midlands to the coastal counties.
All in all a terrible night for the GOP who had nothing to run on besides "We're not Dems.", apparently.
The only sliver I see is that the socialists/communists will show their asses for the next two years and can be effectively demonized.
Since constant demonization seems to be the only way to get out the vote in the 2020s, there may be an opportunity come 2028.

We know that something was amiss but as Christians and Jews we are always set apart from this worldliness. This could move us closer together. We will live in this world as ourselves and try not to interfere with there illusions till next election. Should they try to extend their authorities results remain to be seen.
Me, I'm doubling my efforts and lowering my criteria to move from a blue county to a red one. Also upping my ante.

Massive investments in cryptocurrencies do not show a healthy economy. People are desperate for a good investment opportunity that has not been captured by insiders like Pelosi.
AI will probably, eventually, in 10 years or so, lead to huge profits for someone and for the society as a whole, but in the short term many companies will go bankrupt.
Democrats will try to control the whole process, with strict regulation of both crypto and AI and taxes on everything, and fail miserably. The crash is coming anyway, but their policies will make it worse. Hopefully people will remember and assign blame accordingly.

At the local level the only Rs that win are in the counties near Texas and along the AZ boarder.
The politics here are supremely one sided and as a result a supremely unhealthy. The Pols here screech endlessly about saving democracy; remarkably it looks a lot like a rubber stamp totalitarian state. It is not a big reach to see this scaling up to the national level.
These midterms are looking more and more like a major earthquake.

Bo French has outperformed Abbott let alone Paxton.
French's twitter is full of Indians laughing at defeating his "racism". Well, those Indians didn't vote for Abbott who was their best fren. All Abbott did, as you note, was import his enemies, and fail to turn out his friends.

Demonstrate this with math.
In 2022, Abbot was +11. Tonight he was somewhere between -8 to -10 or so (depending on the final count). That's a swing of around 20 points in 4 years' time. Show how the number of Indians or anyone else increased in TX in that 4-year period to produce a 20-point swing. I don't think anyone will be able to show such a demographic change. TX's population did not change that much in 4 years. I don't know what explains tonight, but demographic changes is not it, not in TX.

Former Washingtonian and now a New Mexican with a stint in Minnesota for a few years. Over my entire life nearly all of my votes didn't matter except for President. The worst was when I lived in DT Seattle where about 80% of the races on my ballot were Ds running unopposed. Still I push on; without that all opposition would cease which resembles the USSR and the Chicoms.

Add in decades of news media, social media, entertainment, and the arts, all being left to extreme left, and this is what you get.
Until it is no longer 'cool' or 'intelligent' to be a dumbass leftist this is what we'll continue to get until the entire House of Lies falls apart when reality hits it.

In an otherwise grim night, I see a few useful results:
1. Vivek Ramaswamy is now out of politics. Yeah, he made a bunch of money in in the tech industry (i.e. he got lucky with the right company), but was much too full of himself. This happens to very many who make it on the first try. But his choice of commercials; he clearly does not have, and never got, American Values. We dodged stepping in a big pile of dog-log.
2. The Senator (D - Hamas) will be a pustule on the D's in the Senate. Chuck the Schmuck will have to spend at least 2 years sympathizing with Hamas, the MoBros, keeping silent on Israel, etc. My money says his BP passes 350/175.
3. The D's now get to fix the economy, inflation and gas prices in particular, prevent the Mullahs from developing nukes (they'll probably start on Jan 3, '27, for the 22 bombs worth of enriched-U-dust), maintain the closed border and keep crime down, and, really, everything else. rump ha only to sit back and vto only the most egregious D legislation.

How Texas went for him is beyond me.
I know I'm no expert in Texas politics and maybe Paxton was really hated by a lot of people, but the fact that he won tells me a lot of Republicans stayed home, and that a lot of Blacks did show up for Talarico.
Fraud in the large cities isn't out of the question either, but I can't prove that either way.

The problem with this explanation, like the "Paxton was a bad choice" argument, is that it ignores all surrounding context. At present, it looks like the GOP could lose every statewide race in TX. And it seems like the GOP mostly got shellacked across the country too. Seems like a repudiation or abandonment to me, not an individual candidate thing. I could be wrong. I just don't think anyone was much exercised about Abbott individually. The TX governor is such a weak position it is actually hard to piss people off overmuch doing the job.

Republicans, and conservatives who hate the GOP, stayed home. They were not impressed enough with the candidates, pissed off about the war or prices, or thought everything on the map would stay Red like it always does, so why bother voting?
Besides Trump fighting like his life depends on it, I didn't see a lot of great campaigning from the right this year.
And I certainly did not see the GOP in Congress, especially the Senate, do much besides spend more money and refuse to pass anything that helped the country or Trump.

The next 2 years will be more about getting the money laundering restarted, and destroying things (and people) rather than fixing anything, imo. Much chaos ahead of 2028.

Trump is controversial. Israel is controversial. Paxton is controversial. Republicans are disputatious people who start wars and bring up topics most would avoid.
With vague rhetoric like "No kings", Democrats are building a community based on illusory comfort and reassurance. People just want to get along. Iran, Hamas, MS13, communists, doctors who change children's sex or euthanize both the young and the elderly are ordinary people, just like us.
Once Democrats are back in power, people will be told again that all is well. This reassurance is all most people want, really.

They'd vote the same on everything that actually matters - in fact I was reading some Jewish left leaning forums where they explicit argued AES being an anti-semite didn't matter because he'd be one vote out of 100 but on most issues he's just another leftist.
Ignoring electibility there are only two differences:
1) How you get to virtue signal and for your average lefty voting for an open jihadi is worth more points then another Karen.
2) Which groups get the graft. But this is a very, very small number of D voters

The GOP has consistently argued actually doing anything puts them at risk for winning elections. It is odd to see. Meanwhile the Dems operation under the view the worst that can happen is they lose one election which they might lose anyway and hey at least they got something out of it

The Iran war killed us, not "muh Epstein Filez". Nobody really cares about Epstein in 2026.
And Paxton had a good record as AG. I think Paxton could have romped in TX without the gas prices blasting north. I would have loved to have gone for long drives this summer but I couldn't. Also Paxton's negative ads against Talarico were stupid; he should have let bloggers do it for him. (The ads concentrating on his record were good.)

The idea of an election is to win. DeSantis spent tens of millions to lose Iowa and then left the race.
It's ridiculous to pretend a guy who couldn't win a single primary could have won the general election.
Stop pretending you are the voice of reason when you ignore the most obvious thing, you candidate had zero national appeal.
The polls said DeSantis couldn't win. He didn't.

I think the preference for permanent Standard Time or Daylight Time depends on how far north one lives. Here in New Mexico Standard Time is about ideal. In Washington State Daylight Time is a much better call. If I was in charge, and I should be, I would mandate a solution along those lines.

It's incredible how long people have waited to tell us they were right all along about Trump, and what they use to prove it. It's like they think we forget (or don't know) that they guaranteed over and over Kamala/Hillary was going to beat him.
I don't care if you never liked him and still don't, but it takes a special kind of retard to not see that the GOP would have had us in the wilderness for decades without him, and worse, continued pretending to be on our side while sticking it in with the knobbly end.

If they win by 0.01% it's a crushing embarrassing defeat.
If we win by 5, it should have been 15.

Important governor races will be lost tonight. We needed to win those so they can help Trump with his agenda. If Hinojosa wins in Texas she probably won't let Trump step foot in the state and will open the border.
Not only that they will be devising plans on how to become like California. The cheating will be off the charts.

Did Trump do what you wanted him to do? Did you want him to fix the economy long term even if it has some short term pain? Did you want him to finally take down the biggest state sponsor of terrorism that has been flooding our country with drugs and killing Americans and building nukes? Did you want him to seal the border and deport illegals including criminals? Did you want him to end USAID and NGOs?
Do you think the left around the world wouldn't strike back? The party in power always faces an uphill battle in the midterms. Look how bad Obama did.
I didn't vote for Trump to guarantee we would win every single future election. I elected to do what he's done knowing it would have a cost in the short term.

I mean I guess if Iran was going to nuke us two months ago and that has been stopped, and only he knows that because he has the super top secret info, he can live with the tradeoff.
I think that there were a number of good reasons to attack Iran. I think that it was also ill advised to say that it would not last more than a couple of weeks, and some 8 months later still be in the midst of it and not have anything to show for it.

We also don't know fully "why" he did it except probably most of all that it needed to be done. We know for sure they are good friends with our enemies, the Democrats.
Here is why tonight may go badly:
1. Feckless lying slippery Republicans who hate their voters and no one rightly trusts
2. The Dems deployment of "affordability", an effective ruse after they inflated everything with the covid and Biden ops

Sure.
But tell me: was it worth it? Hard to say. Like I said, maybe we owe Trump our very lives because he stopped Iran from dropping a nuke on NYC in June like they planned to (I made that up). That could be a fair trade for Senator Annie Andrews or whatever.
But we don't know that. I remember in 2002 I had a blog and I made the passionate case that Iran was going to nuke us because they could have one any day now.
That was almost a quarter century ago.

I don't really give a shit, as long as they don't have nukes.
The only other cudgel they have is oil, and Trump's got us pretty far down the road of not being dependent on foreign supplies. More work needed there, but we're in a far better position than when he first took office.

There are still lots of rural votes to count, but Talarico has won around 65%-68% of the vote (75% counted) in Dallas, Fort Worth, Austin, Houston, and San Antonio. Unless cows and oil rigs are voting that is an uphill margin to overcome.

Specifically: the war with Iran - was it worth the loss of the House and likely the Senate? Obama's policies are still with us. Trump's progress on the border won't survive till the end of his own Presidency.
Can we lay the blame entirely on the war with Iran? The math is pretty straightforward, Iran war leads to gas prices up 30% leads to electoral smashing. I mean sure the Republican Senate did not give Republican voters to come out and fight for them. The Republican House hasn't even been in session for a couple of months.

This is from NBCNews website:
About the Remaining Vote
Ken Paxton would need to win 61.1% of the remaining vote to catch or overtake James Talarico, who leads.
They are showing 55% counted and Talarico leads by about 1.1 million votes.
They are estimating 4.657 million votes left to count.

Senate has been abysmal about backing judges and us attorneys. We don't need "some" appointments, we need ALL the appointments.
When this all spirals into a dumpster fire of balkanesque boodshed - and it will - some of the GOP's share of blame will fall on Trump trying to preserve the idea of a republic that stopped existing decades ago and failing to sufficiently crack down on vote fraud, but most of it will be the GOP being useless backstabbing twats as usual.
At least Trump tried, though. I have never expected him to succeed and have been saying the republic is obviously done since 2016. A GOP sweep today would not have changed that opinion. He has done signifigantly better running the WH this time around, but it is deck chairs on the titanic.

Election Results Thread
Here's PJ Media's election results page.
Decision Desk HQ's twitter feed.My plan is to update this post with major headlines -- actual confirmed wins or losses, and strong evidence for coming wins or losses. Jon Ossoff is predicted to win Georgia Senate, which was never actually seriously contested for some bizarre reason. Two, count 'em, two hard-left Democrat Senators are from Georgia and we can't do anything about it, apparently. Ashley Moody (R) called for Florida Senator, per DDHQ. A Democrat, Pia Dandiya, supposedly will win Floriday's redrawn 22nd District. This could be a bad harbinger. Roy Cooper flips Tom Tillis' seat to blue in NC, which was 1, kind of baked into the cake and predicted for weeks, and 2, more or less a lateral move because Tillis was a liberal Democrat himself posing as a Republican. Byron Daniels projected to win Florida governor, Anna Paulina Luna reelected to 13th CD. Neither unexpected. Decision Desk HQ projects Republican Andy Barr wins the KY US Senate General Election. Via gnats local. Expected.

early vote totals mean little. If a few liberal precincts report first, it will show her losing. You can't start taking votes seriously until you're at least around 40%. Experts who know exactly which precincts are still not in yet and what the prior few elections looked like can start predicting results at around this level, maybe sometimes.

CA is in good company with WA. The legislators in WA shoved in an income tax, against their own state constitution. Hiding it by calling it a "millionaire's tax." Voters get to decide on it today, the people will vote in or out the income tax.
Rumor is the WA legislators are already lowering the "millionaire" threshold, so you pay the income tax if you make $250K or more. The speed with which they break their promises is astonishing. Within 5 years it will be everyone for sure.
WA also voting on boys in girls sports today.

Connected to your name... I finally finished Wednesday season 2. It's not world changing TV, but it's entertaining. They shoehorned in more lore building about Morticia and her powers, and got her character more screen time, which was weird for an already weird show about a girl at an academy for weirdos. But the Morticia plot lines grew on me. I don't see this show going for like ten years, but I like the spooky goth vibe.
Wednesday and her werewolf roommate swapped bodies in one ep, and boy can the actress playing the werewolf act! She was an amazing deadpan Wednesday when her character is usually so chipper and girly. She's been in other things, hope the actress has a long career ahead of her.

The abortion enthusiasts proposed a measure to copy Massachusetts' abortion laws for my state. Obvious no on that.
By the signs, there are at least three different groups who have been drumming up opposition to this, which is good.
Local school district wants money, so obviously that was a no.
State wants to make English the official state language, so that was a yes.
State wants to restrict to the legislature the privilege of legalizing or banning various drugs, instead of allowing it by citizen initiative. That one was also a no, because I figured that it would be easier for drug lobbyists to co-opt the legislature than to co-opt the entire state's population.

Interestingly, the ballot included a list of supporters, so anything supported by Bernie Sanders or the SEIU got a "no".
The broadcast reports show an unusually large percentage of "D" wins. Michigan and Texas seem to be going real stupid, the rest of the country on slightly less so.

Useful dhimmi? Allow them to ramp up their influence and vote in sharia law into Texas in 6 years. Help vote in more liberals. The packing in the courts, DC and Puerto Rico a state, only benefits them long term.

Our final prediction is in.
In your particular hamlet, there will be a number of desperate, sweaty crooks and pederasts who will win this election, and feather their squalid little nests with your pilfered money for the duration of their terms.
They will win re-election, and soak their beaks once again, and then retch up your endless largesse into the squalling beaks of their ravenous young, for whom you will also dutifully vote, well into your senescence.
We hereby secure our sterling reputation as America's most accurate polling firm. Have a great couple of years!
We'll see you soon.

It seems some guy called "Ganesh" vibecoded his own mirror of Ao3, and found a way to scrape all the data from the real Ao3. Then Ganesh posted that in public, and started selling audiobooks for the shit he stole.
But it's okay because if you emailed him with evidence that you were, in fact, the author; he'd take it down. But you have to supply Ganesh with your Ao3 username and other evidence. Also you should feel bad for Ganesh because it cost him a lot of money to run the fake website and to buy all those AI tokens and run the script.

FWIW: Catch and Release! even in Russia -- blame the Minkey!
P.R. are not currently sitting inside a Russian prison, because most of the collective has left Russia and operates in exile. However, Russian courts have continued to hand down heavy prison sentences against them in absentia.
The Event: In February 2012, members staged an impromptu "punk prayer" protest inside Moscow’s Cathedral of Christ the Saviour
The Charges & Sentence: Three members (Maria Alyokhina, Nadezhda Tolokonnikova, and Yekaterina Samutsevich) were arrested and convicted of "hooliganism motivated by religious hatred." They were sentenced to 2 years in a penal colony. Did they serve it? Samutsevich had her sentence suspended on appeal, while Alyokhina and Tolokonnikova served roughly 21 months before being released in December 2013 under a general state amnesty, shortly before sentences were to expire anyway.

to the tenth of a degree?
Further, when I was taught science, we measured as best we could and reported results in one less decimal degree of certainty. If we measured in tenths, results were in whole numbers.
In short their data is shit. Their conclusions are shit. And these guys are retarded. I rest my case.

More Election Rumors and Innuendoes
Please take a seat and brace yourselves: staffers for the Muskily Heterosexual Group Sex Fetish Enthusiast James Talarico say his "moderation" is all fake and will disappear at 11:59 PM Central Time tonight.
The James O'Keefe Media Group just dropped a hidden video filmed in my neck of the woods, and it reveals that his staffers know his entire moderate stance is a sham:Jewish voters are fed up with Jihad-curious Democrats?
"James [Talarico], he's not going middle." "He's [Talarico] definitely going to play the middle ground because he's in Texas. but he is a lot more progressive on it [abortion]." "Don't put too much stock into border security comments..."He [Talarico] and I have spoken about these issues." "He [Talarico] probably said that to try to make himself appear more centrist. He's very liberal...but we've got to get elected, so we can do something." Texas U.S. Senate candidate James Talarico's girlfriend, Brianna Menard, was identified by her father, Matt Menard, during an undercover conversation in which he and Williamson County Democratic Chair Kim Collins Gilby separately cast doubt on Talarico's recent moderate messaging on border security, immigration, and transgender surgeries for minors. Menard, who claims to communicate with Talarico weekly and has personally discussed immigration policies with Talarico. Insisting James Talarico remains a progressive, opposes ICE's immigration enforcement tactics, and supports a pathway to citizenship for everyone.
For much of the last century, the Democratic Party has enjoyed ironclad support from Jewish Americans, especially in New York. As recently as 2006, exit polls from the New York governor's race showed 87 percent of the Jewish population voting Democratic. But more recently, the seemingly unthinkable has happened. Though still likely to support Democrats, Jewish voters in the state have become more open to supporting Republicans -- a trend that has picked up steam following Hamas's terrorist attack on Israel on Oct. 7, 2023.Don't worry, though. The NYT proudly posted a list of Abdulrahman Mohamed El-Sayed's many, many Jewish supporters, which included famous Rabbinical Scholar "Jack Mehoff."
... Much of the drift away from Democrats has come from Zionist Jews, who fear that the party's growing opposition to Israel is a betrayal of the Jewish community and can lead to antisemitic acts. At the same time, there are younger and more progressive Jews in New York who are frustrated with the reluctance of most Democratic leaders to take meaningful action against Israel. Taken together, the agitation could eventually spell trouble for Democrats. ... Asked in late October 2018 which party they wanted to control Congress, 76 percent of likely Jewish voters in New York said Democrats, while 23 percent said Republicans. When asked the same question last month, 61 percent of likely Jewish voters in the state said that Democrats should control Congress and 30 percent said Republicans.
saying they would back Michigan Democrat Abdul El-Sayed for Senate included the unfortunate moniker "Jack Mehoff." The Times initially reported Sept. 17 on the letter, which it said was signed by "more than 500 people who identify as Jewish leaders or voters" in the Mitten State and insisted that El-Sayed is "clearly the better choice for Jews." The story included a link to a public Google Doc managed by a group calling itself Michigan Jews for Democracy. Mehoff appears at No. 403 on the alphabetical list, which was also promoted by the El-Sayed campaign the same day the Times published its story. Records reviewed by The Post lists someone named Jack Mehoff as living on campus at Michigan State University in East Lansing. A university spokesman told The Post he could "confirm that MSU does not have a record (past or present) of that particular individual attending the university."Jack Mehoff, capital fellow. I see him sometimes in shul. He sometimes joins the cantor and Heywood Jablowmi for a schvitz. He's a leader in our local Real People Who Totally Exist Club. Leftwing f*ckery in Texas:
RNC Election Integrity
@RNCVoteProtect 🚨 TEXAS VOTERS: ONCE YOU CHECK IN, DO NOT LEAVE UNTIL YOU HAVE CAST YOUR BALLOT. The RNC identified reports in multiple counties of voters checking in, encountering issues when trying to vote, and then being told to come back later. This is NOT CORRECT. We immediately escalated this to the Secretary of State, who is reinforcing the proper procedures with counties. CHECKED IN? STAY UNTIL YOUR VOTE IS CAST. Report concerns
DataRepublican (small r)Eesh. I mean, we have a lot of room in Florida, but not so in other districtrs.
@DataRepublican 52m On a same-time snapshot, Florida is over 100K votes ahead than on Election Day 2024. Overall, Florida is currently at a D+4 shift relative to 2024.
Nevada had a sluggish start, but is ramping up quickly in the rurals, the same places where FL is surging. Lombardo will still have a tough fight, but CD-2 should be a retain. If these 2 states represent a pattern for rural turnouts nationwide, this means good things for KS, IA, ME. Then it'd come down to OH and possibly MI/TX for Senate control. I don't see clear evidence of TX pointing in one direction or another yet. The error margins cross right where Paxton needs to be in my models. Just stay in line and vote.

@walterkirn
One BIG thing I learned behind the scenes in 2024 when Kamala was supposedly "tied with" or "slightly ahead" of Trump is that there are many powerful figures right now who know how things are going to come out. They're just not telling you. Not in any direct way. But you can start to infer it from the subtleties of their behavior. Walter Kirn
@walterkirn 14m I was shown that it has a lot to do with movement from unlikely to vote to likely to vote.
This post at Townhall is four hours old now, but she claims that Republican turnout is high in some states. Not just in Florida, where it's huge, but also in Nevada and Arizona as well.

"I think he was trying to recruit ANTY number of people to run against Dan Sullivan. Right now, it looks like he is simply trying to DILUTE the votes from Dan Sullivan so that Mary Portola wins." And THAT'S the Ranked Choice Voting scam. They want a BUNCH of fake candidates on the ballot, who pretend to be Republicans, so split the vote multiple ways. This scheme is getting bigger by the day.

I think social media with influencers living some pretend jet setting life has ruined reality for everyone else to where everyone thinks the economy sucks for them
I also think that even when people have more money and wealth, things being more expensive causes more stress and anxiety. I felt "wealthier" pre-covid despite my net worth being substantially more.
The real inflation rate is easily over 50% in the last 5 years. And while it has slowed down, it's still going at too high a clip.
No one wants to address the real issue, government spending needs to be drastically cut.

Wait until the results actually come in and the candidates start conceding defeat or declaring victory.

Just so's you know, all the media screaming aside, there's nothing extraordinary about the party holding the presidency losing seats in mid-terms. 100 years ago, with Silent Cal in the White House (one of our great presidents), the Republicans lost 8 seats in the House and 7 in the Senate. And in 1894, the Democrats lost 105 (out of 356 at the time) in the House and 4 in the Senate.
Whatever may happen or befall, there's a near-zero chance of a huge swing. We're basically a 50-50 nation still and the results should reflect that, give or take one or two.

____
ID requirement is by statute. The amendment puts it into the Ohio constitution. In theory, requiring a higher bar to eliminate. But if 50% +1 can put it in, then it can be removed the same way. In theory, you still would need the normally reliably Republican legislature to also repeal the ID requirement from the statute. Whatever. The notably didn't state any ID requirements for mail-in ballots. So it would remain governed by statute.

The curse of "red states" like Montana is that the population is concentrated in only a couple of places, such as the state capitol.
The Dems go out of their way to control the levers of power in these states because they know if they control the cities they can control the rest of the state.
The Front Range cities in CO are a perfect example of this.

While this is a poor analogy for how the midterms have historically gone in the 20th century and until today I I find a Sly correlation here. We have literal communists and islamists who have the smell of destiny in their nostrils and they're going flat out to destroy the country.
In effect, we're in a political war for our lives and it is precisely those who will be most affected, like 1864, The average American who loves their country and thinks about a better future for their kids we're going to pull this out if it's possible In spite of all the left-wing propaganda telling us it's a sure thing we're headed towards a bright Maoist future.
I have no idea how this is going to play out but I think if the center is going to hold it's going to be precisely for what I laid out.
And if it doesn't, the next two years are going to be a very long coming attractions of what's coming in 2028.

Hillary Clinton's Chief Conspiracy Theorist Marc Elias Receives DOJ Letter Informing Him He Is a CRIMINAL TARGET
20 Other Democrat Criminals Targeted
Eric Daugherty
@EricLDaugh 44m 🚨 WOW! MARC ELIAS reportedly just got a CRIMINAL TARGET LETTER after his firm was involved in cheating Alaska's elections with the fake Dan Sullivan That's in addition to nearly 20 OTHER DEMOCRATS receiving the same letter. CHARGES POSSIBLE: Donor fraud and conspiracy It's clear that AG Todd Blanche is NOT letting this go 🔥 Trump is not going to let Alaska's Senate seat be stolen.
The Researcher
@listen_2learn The bigger revelation from the Alaska episode isn't just that a decoy candidate was recruited. It's that lawyers from Marc Elias's law firm who were apparently involved in the scheme were also involved in the subsequent lawsuits aimed at challenging or suppressing the fallout. I think the overlap between those orchestrating the operation and those litigating its aftermath deserves far more scrutiny than it's receiving.
Hans Mahncke
@HansMahncke Because nobody was ever held accountable for Russiagate, the original lawfare operation, the whole machinery has only grown more brazen and sophisticated. Marc Elias used the fake Steele dossier to push Russia collusion smears. In Alaska, his firm has taken the same playbook a step further, engineering a dirty trick and then turning to the courts to protect the result of that scheme. Imagine Elias commissioning the Steele dossier and then marching straight into court, waving it around as evidence and demanding that a judge give legal force to the lies he had manufactured (back then, he used the FBI for that purpose, but now he simply cuts out the middleman and does it himself). That's what happens when nobody is ever held accountable. They learn that there is no price to pay, so they keep escalating, growing bolder and more ruthless with every operation. And why wouldn't they? They've been taught that they can get away with anything.
I linked part of this recap by Jonathan Turley in the last post, but it belongs here:
Elias was the general counsel to the Clinton presidential campaign when it secretly funded the infamous Steele Dossier and pushed the false Alfa Bank conspiracy theory. (His fellow Perkins Coie partner, Michael Sussmann, was later indicted but acquitted for making a false statement to the FBI.) Clinton campaign officials lied to reporters during the 2016 campaign, denying any involvement in the Steele Dossier. Journalists discovered the truth after the election -- that the Clinton campaign had hidden payments for the dossier as "legal fees" among the $5.6 million paid to Perkins Coie. New York Times reporter Ken Vogel said that when he tried to report the story, Elias "pushed back vigorously, saying 'You (or your sources) are wrong.'" Times reporter Maggie Haberman later observed that "Folks involved in funding this lied about it, and with sanctimony, for a year." The Federal Election Commission ultimately sanctioned the Clinton campaign for the subterfuge. While raising money as the self-proclaimed defenders of democracy, Elias's group has been involved in gerrymandering and efforts criticized as seeking to invalidate Republican votes, including unsuccessful efforts to challenge Democratic electoral losses. ... Now, Elias's group is linked to the decoy scandal in Alaska, which allegedly aimed to make voters cast mistaken ballots. What distinguishes lawyers involved in this type of voter disruption is less their talent as their willingness. There are simply some things that most lawyers will not do.

He succeeded in 2020 because everyone just did what he asked from state supreme courts down to election workers, all while the RNC just said, "Yeah, we'll totally fight this later. Here's one lawyer to counter him. See you in 6 months."
His cunning but has a long string of failures. If he gets arrested and charged because of this dumb as fuck Sullivan gambit, it'll be a fitting end, especially if it doesn't work.
The ballots apparently label the real Sullivan as incumbent, and even if you intend to vote GOP and are still confused, you're more likely to have the two 1st and 2nd choices in the RCV process, meaning that any errant bad Sullivan votes will end up going to the real Sullivan anyway.

In the bone-chilling minute-long recording, Kaylub Gianmarco urgently warns a dispatcher that there is “someone with a gun” at his daughter’s school, Silver Trail Elementary, on Oct. 15, according to audio released Tuesday.
“I have a gun and I will shoot them right now,” said Giamanco, who was driving home for lunch. The operator pleads with him to stay put, imploring: “Don’t do anything, let me get an officer there.”
Gianmarco says he will not wait: “I’m about to go kill this kid.” Moments later, Gianmarco reports that the shooter is breaching the building.
When the dispatcher asks if shots are being fired, Gianmarco says yes. The operator attempts to press for more details, but the call abruptly cuts off.

The Paycheck Protection Program was created to save American jobs, not to enrich those who aren’t eligible for taxpayer-funded relief, especially the wife of a U.S. Senator.
Strand Book Store, owned by Nancy Bass Wyden, wife of U.S. Senator Ron Wyden, received $932,350 in second draw PPP funds despite a federal law barring businesses controlled by a member of Congress or their spouse from receiving those loans.
Our Fraud and Asset Recovery Division will expose this abuse, pursue those who exploit taxpayer dollars, and hold them accountable. No one gets a pass when it comes to defrauding the American taxpayer.

There were two separate pots of money for the PPP. The first one got obliterated within 2 days after it opened for claims. We tried for our business but the money was gone quick. After they processed the first batch another pot of money was put out for the program.

Regarding Mayor Butt and Pelosi, could it also be that they think he's going to win and so it's "safe" for them to say (lie) that they care about Jews? Like in Congressional votes where the counts are such that some members are allowed to vote against the Party on certain issues.
Hopefully they're jumping from a sinking ship but it's Michigan, and if/when he loses they'll have really pissed off the DSA lovers. Pelosi probably doesn't need to care but Butt probably still has higher office aspirations.

NYT: Justice Dept. Sends Target Letters to Democrats in Escalation of Alaska Inquiry The move is a highly unusual action to take at the decisive moment in a close race between the incumbent, Dan Sullivan, and his Democrat rival, Mary Peltola.
NYT actually wants a fascist USA, all of their actions and decisions for 10+ years now have proven this. Maybe we the citizens should treat this newspaper differently because of this fact.
NYT has always, at best, leaned right. Anyone who thought they were independent was simply lying to themselves. The media in general has been bought up over the past thirty years predominantly by the ultra wealthy seeking to push a narrative and drive engagement for profits.
Nytimes acting upset about DOJ is crazy because literally they put fuel on this fire and ignored the republicans doing the same exact thing this cycle elsewhere
The NYT has been sane washing Trump for a decade. And no mention of the GOP running 2 candidates named “Bob Ferguson” for our WA gubernatorial primary in 2024.
The exit polling must be fucking apocalyptic.

I actually tend to think that Peltola wasn't directly involved, as I don't think she's that stupid. However, she may well have been involved in the coverup.
Richard Nixon could've told her (via Ouija board or something) what happens when you try to cover up a retarded op hatched by clown shoes underlings.

Meanwhile, the California ballot sequestration case has become an absolute ping-pong match.
Ninth Circuit en banc panel has reinstated a ruling allowing DOJ to request that Cali and Washington sequester ballots of suspected noncitizens and warning election officials of possible prosecution, after being vacated by a majority of the Ninth Circuit’s active, nonrecused judges, just hours after a three-judge panel suspended a TRO issued by a District Judge prohibiting those DOJ demands and threats.
And that's only one case. There are two cases.

The vote-counting issues bedeviling Westchester County stem from a program update that happened after polling equipment was initially prepared and tested, according to the state Board of Elections.
A change in an unnamed local race required an update that wasn’t made to machines in other counties, the board said. As a result, those tabulators were unable to recognize completed Election Day ballots.
State officials said they’re working with their counterparts in Westchester County to restore ballot-scanning capability to at least one vote-counting machine at every polling location. Voting continues through established emergency ballot procedures.
Westchester County Executive Ken Jenkins vowed to launch a bipartisan investigation into what he called a “debacle.”

So Lefty harridans wouldn't really be all that inconvenienced by the WRA, as the regulator would be founded pre-captured. It would just make everyone else miserable, for their benefit. At least, that's how it's plainly supposed to work for the AI techbros begging to be regulated.

The plan was not to keep the real R from winning the first round.
The plan was to trick voters into putting the fake R as their second choice, making them think they are voting #1 and #2 for the real R.
And, in the second round, all the votes (#2) for the fake R would be tossed.
And they knew this because they had the focus group where they were laughing at the test voters making that exact mistake.
This was more than a dirty trick.

"CNN exit poll shows economy as top issue concerning voters
The CNN exit poll shows that 39 percent of voters view the economy as the top issue facing the US.
Democracy was the second most important issue with 32 percent, followed by immigration with 14 percent.
Crime was the least relevant major issue in the 2026 midterm election with only three percent. (well, duh ! Trump got crime down to nothing by getting rid of criminals nation wide!)
Trump was campaigning pretty heavily on economy this cycle. He knew which end is up.

Election Day News
Marc Elias is back. The notorious Democratic lawyer who played a critical role in the 2016 Russia hoax is again in the news. His law firm has been identified by the New York Times as part of the expanding scandal involving Democratic effort to confuse voters in Alaska with a decoy candidate named Daniel J. Sullivan. For those familiar with Elias's checkered history, this is a case of rounding up the usual suspects. The scandal involving Democratic candidate Mary Peltola has quickly snowballed this week. A New York Times blockbuster investigative report quotes former staff who claim she knew of a cynical effort by her own campaign and the Democratic Senatorial Campaign Committee to confuse voters by recruiting and fielding a decoy "Dan Sullivan" candidate in the race against incumbent Sen. Daniel S. Sullivan (R-Alaska). State and federal investigations are now unfolding, with dozens of federal subpoenas raining down on Alaska. The effort to get voters to cast mistaken ballots is grossly unethical and, even in these rage-filled times, a uniquely disgraceful scheme. Peltola and the Democratic Party had long denied any involvement in the other Sullivan's candidacy. So when the Times produced evidence that she allegedly knew, and that Democratic staffers and lawyers had been deeply involved from the beginning, many of us were surprised -- that is, until the name "Marc Elias" emerged. Then it made more sense. The Elias Law Group was already in the news this election cycle for threatening reporters with defamation lawsuits if they kept asking questions about the health of former Gov. Roy Cooper, the Democratic nominee for Senate in North Carolina. Earlier, Elias caused a stir during an unsuccessful Democratic gerrymandering effort, raising the idea that Democratic leaders could abolish the entire Virginia government after courts blocked their attempted radical redistricting plan. The fact that figures such as Peltola and Cooper wanted to be associated with any law firm headed by Elias is itself an indictment of their judgment and standards. Despite his losses in cases such as National Republican Senatorial Committee v. Federal Election Commission, Elias is still a favorite of many on the left thanks to his aggression and partisan fervor. The controversies that make him notorious to many make him popular with others.
Ryan FournierSome are saying the slots the thick paper is supposed to be fed into were deliberately tightened to block them.

UNREAL: Ballots in key battleground Westchester, NY aren't fitting into scanners, and the Dem County Exec says he has "no idea" why!
Total incompetence or election interference? STAY IN LINE!
Jay Gatling
@apinionsvary 3h HOCHUL'S "WRONG SIZE PAPER" EXCUSE: WESTCHESTER'S MACHINES BREAK ON THE ONE DAY MOST REPUBLICANS VOTE! Ballot scanners at polling sites across Westchester County have been rejecting ballots since the polls opened at 6 AM. Westchester has about 1 million residents and roughly 680,000 registered voters. That includes about 132,000 registered Republicans, 7,400 Conservatives, and 186,000 voters who aren't enrolled in any party. County Executive Ken Jenkins called it a "county-wide issue at all of the polling locations." The Board of Elections blamed the "thickness" of the paper, then quietly took that word out. Governor Hochul says it could be the "wrong size paper" and could take hours to fix. Here's why this matters: Democrats tend to vote early and by mail. Republicans show up on Election Day. So when the machines break on Election Day, the people stuck in long lines and delays are mostly Republican voters. Some will have to get back to work. Some will give up and go home. Every one of them is a vote that didn't get cast. All of this is happening with Governor Hochul on the ballot and the Lawler race on the line. That's a very convenient coincidence for Democrats. Westchester, don't let them win by wearing you out. Stay in line, fill out your ballot, and make sure it goes into the orange emergency bag.
Bill Melugin
@BillMelugin_ 4h NEW: Homeland Security Investigations (HSI) announces new prosecutions of non-citizens accused of voting illegally, including an Uzbek national in Wyoming who falsely attested to be a US citizen & voted, but was caught after the state began participating in the federal SAVE (Systematic Alien Verification for Entitlements) program to cross reference voter rolls against DHS databases. The Uzbek man, Maksim Shakirov, has now pleaded guilty to voting as an alien and is scheduled to be sentenced in January. HSI is also announcing the arrest of a Dominican non-citizen woman, Rosanny Fabre Villa, for illegally voting in Pennsylvania in the 2024 election, as well as the sentencing of a French national, Eliezer Kadoch, who pleaded guilty to illegally voting in the 2020, 2022, and 2024 elections in New Jersey. Feds say he also falsely claimed in a 2023 application for US citizenship that he had never voted or claimed US citizenship. He will now have to perform 50 hours of community service, pay a $1,000 fine, and be on probation for one year.
Nick SortorIs this good?
@nicksortor 31m 🚨 NEW: A Kansas polling place RAN OUT of ballots this morning after the county delivered only 10 PERCENT of the ballots needed By 8am, voters were being TURNED AWAY. It took over an HOUR AND A HALF for more ballots to be delivered. How does this even happen?!
DataRepublican (small r)Supposedly, polls predicted a 22 point Democrat blowout in Guam. Instead, the Republican won narrowly:
@DataRepublican 5h I have minute snapshots from Florida Election Day 2024. As of the latest data pull, we are exceeding same-snapshot margins compared to 2024 - literal Presidential turnout on a midterms. And it's accelerating - in one ten minute pull, we pulled ahead of 2024 by 5,000 votes. An incredible last-minute turnaround in Florida. This is the kind of performance we need to sustain across the country. Go vote! Benny Johnson
@bennyjohnson
Are you sitting down? Republicans are currently showing signs of PRESIDENTIAL-LEVEL midterms turnout already on Election Day Scott Presler reveals data from across the country showing incredible early results. Republicans are set to flip Broward county in Florida from blue to red. Montgomery County, Texas is BEATING Presidential level turnout this morning. Lines are out the door at the polls in Wisconsin. Democrats in Pennsylvania are leaving some 120,000 ballots on the table. Republicans are showing up on Election Day.
The pollsters told you Guam was a Democrat blowout... 57.9% for the Democrat, 35.4% for the Republican. A 22-point wipeout.
Then the people actually voted. Republican Tony Ada won 51.5 to 48.2 and flipped the governor’s mansion RED. The pollsters missed by 26 points. Stop believing them.— Apple Lamps (@lamps_apple) November 3, 2026

Cannot over-state the importance of what is being reported by @datarepublican & @nataliegwinters
— Lara Logan (@laralogan) October 30, 2026
They are absolutely correct. We are looking at a shaping operation similar to 2020 where they told you: “on election day it would look like Trump was winning but when the mail-in ballots were counted, Biden would win”. That was exactly what happened, but it was a lie. It happened because they engineered the steal & prepped the information battle-space so you would believe it & they could get away with it. So you would not pay attention to mail-in ballot drops that were 100 percent for one candidate - which everyone knows never happens organically. The purpose of a shaping operation is to manipulate your mind in order to engineer your behavior & manipulate the outcome. How you defeat this is very simple: you expose it so that the lies collapse & wethepeople are not deceived. Share everywhere, talk about this - folo those reporting on this. Do not disengage or try to hide your head in the sand. This is the moment to make your life count by standing for something much bigger than all of us. It is a gift. Don’t waste it.
SUBMITTED: Poll worker wears “Problem Solved” T-shirt with red splatter near the collar resembling blood.
Speculation is that it celebrates the assassination of Charlie Kirk or other assassinations; the Halloween design has been controversial for years. The picture was taken Saturday at the Rogers fire station community room. In a statement to @AlphaNews, Hennepin County confirmed it forwarded the concern to the city clerk in Rogers for review. “Hennepin County expects polling places to be welcoming and free from intimidation, harassment, or disruption for voters and election workers alike… Anyone with concerns about conduct at a polling place should bring them to the attention of the head election judge or city clerk's office,” the statement reads.— Liz Collin (@lizcollin) November 3, 2026

Handed over ID.
Entered my ID code.
Cast my votes on clear, ez to read screens with legible party affiliation and candidate name.
Pressed Print.
Read every vote I cast was entered correctly.
Proceeded to the ballot entry machine and scanned my ballot in.
Got a cool little firework animation and a free sticker.
Went back to work.
All of this took me 5 mins from the moment I walked up to the door.

Why cash out early in betting markets?
Is there an advantage?
Posted by: MkY at November 03, 2026 03:43 PM (ik4bQ)
=======
So, my OH, TX, and ME bets I'll just wait to cash out because those will be wins.
The NC bet I want to believe but can't fully, so I put in an sell order below $1.00 that I'm hoping gets hit once people realize that the race is closer than the polls say. So, when the odds shift, I sell, and I make a profit.
The makeup of the Senate, I have three competing bets (52, 53, and 54 Senate seats), so I can't win all of them, so I put sell orders on all three (the higher sell orders on the one I'm most confident on, the 53).
So, if this is like I think it'll be, I should just make money on all of them, even if all of my bets don't completely pay out.
Again, less than $100. Not exactly betting the farm, here.

I live in a deep blue state and just voted. Everyone was totally neutral in their garb, professional, friendly, and signs appeared to be the prescribed distance from the polling place. Doesn't seem like too much to ask of a polling place in the US.
Seeing that t-shirt, reading about the blatant Democrat cheating, and their total arrogance in knowing that they will not even be called out for it, let alone punished, makes me...take a deep breath and be mild because this site is likely monitored for hate speech...very angry.

Michigan hasnt voted for a republican since 1994 and I dont see anything changing. And Stevens spent the whole primary talking about all the doom and gloom if Rogers is elected, then endorse him? She turned out to be a massive DINO.
I'm trying to square the apparent late break for Democratic candidates with the fact that (according to the accompanying article) Republicans have an edge with late-deciding voters.
God damn. Not only Abbott but the entire statewide GOP ticket should be praying that Talarico doesn't have strong coattails.

Someone, when this election cycle is over, needs to investigate him.
I saw him at a Romney/Ryan rally in Daytona Beach. About 10k peaceful people on the beach. Lots of snipers, security and a Coast Guard boat in the ocean to our right. Ryan appears onstage and is terrified. Brief speech. Pit sweating, and it wasn't hot. His eyes gave away his terror.
At some point he was on FOX. Kilmead or someone surprised him with a birthday cake. You'd think it was a cobra as he reeled back like a vampire seeing sunlight. His reaction was so weird the hosts were alarmed. He would not touch his slice of cake.
Something ain't right with him other than being a traitor dikhead and coward.

Hopefully they're jumping from a sinking ship but it's Michigan, and if/when he loses they'll have really pissed off the DSA lovers. Pelosi probably doesn't need to care but Butt probably still has higher office aspirations.

We lived on a barrier island in that county. Once received 21" of rain in 24hrs from a tropical storm. It was raining like a giant fire hose.
Flash flooding was what many woke to and it's a huge mess today in a large area with many rescues. I've seen less damage from hurricanes.
There's no way for some people to leave their homes as rescue is limited. Much less vote, which is something no one is concerned about there today.

"CNN exit poll shows economy as top issue concerning voters
The CNN exit poll shows that 39 percent of voters view the economy as the top issue facing the US.
Democracy was the second most important issue with 32 percent, followed by immigration with 14 percent.
Crime was the least relevant major issue in the 2026 midterm election with only three percent. (well, duh ! Trump got crime down to nothing by getting rid of criminals nation wide!)
Trump was campaigning pretty heavily on economy this cycle. He knew which end is up.

Deranged Alcoholic Femcel Hillary Clinton and the High-Calorie Cretins of The View Say That Trump Will #Hack the Election Using Mind Control
This doesn't sound like confidence to me.
Nicholas Fondacaro at Newsbusters:
Nicholas Fondacaro
@NickFondacaro ABC's "bona fide news program" The View brings on Hillary Clinton and Kara Swisher to push a slew of conspiracy theories about how the midterms could be stolen.
They predict: -ICE will confront people at the polls -Use the Justice Department and U.S. Marshals Service in a nefarious way -The election results will be hacked and changed (teed up by Sunny Hostin) -Use peoples Social Security numbers to manipulate their thoughts
he View cast was so confident that the midterms were going to be a blow out for Democrats, that they spent part of their Monday show priming the pump for Democratic losses with conspiracies about how Republicans were going to steal elections across the countries. Teed up by the ABC "bona fide news program" co-hosts, two-time presidential failure Hillary Clinton and leftist tech podcaster Kara Swisher spewed a slew of election theft conspiracies from intimidation, to hacking and changing results, to mind control via Social Security Numbers. Yeah, you read that last one correctly. "If the votes don't go his way, which we suspect they may not, will the President try to steal this election or will our systems hold?" wondered co-host Sunny Hostin, who was one of the people who claimed Trump stole the 2016 election. Clinton claimed she had lead "war room scenarios with big groups of people to get everybody to think about the most unthinkable" ways for President Trump to steal the midterms. "Because you know, with Trump, you've got to get out of your comfort zone and say, 'well, what is the craziest thing that somebody could try to do?' and get prepared for it," she declared. Her opening salvo was the usual assertion that Trump was going to send ICE agents to polling places across America to intimidate voters: CLINTON: You know, having ICE or others show up and just be standing there, staring at people, you know, looking threatening to voters coming in to vote. But you know, I do think that people are tougher than that. GOLDBERG: Oh yeah. [Crosstalk in agreement] Of course, there weren't enough ICE agents to do that and there would be nothing for voters to be afraid of. They even admitted it wouldn't be intimidating.Videos at the link.
Swisher, Clinton's podcast co-host, jumped into claim the Justice Department and U.S. Marshal Service would be used in some unexplained nefarious way. Hostin chimed in again to get Swisher to briefly warn that the election results would be hacked and presumably changed:This was essentially a flashback to the liberal media's greatest hoax ever, erroneously telling Americans "Russia hacked the election" in 2016, giving the false impression that results were changed to give Trump the victory. Their craziest claim would come shortly thereafter. Clinton tagged back in, argued that Social Security information "was literally stolen" by DOGE, and would somehow be used to mentally control voters into doing what they wanted:
SWISHER: Trying all manner of attempts. Because they still control the Justice Department. They still control the Federal Marshal Service. They still control the House -- HOSTIN: And what about hacking? SWISHER: And hacking.If you have, in private hands, the Social Security information of every American, just as an example, which is one of the things that was alleged, that was literally stolen from the Social Security administration. I don't know if that happened, but people from inside said that it was. And that's under the control of people like Elon Musk, we need a government, and I would argue, starting in January with a new Congress, to begin to hold these people accountable. They can't get away with manipulating the data to try to influence decisions.Attempting to give Clinton's craziness more validity, Swisher claimed it would be assured since A.I. would be involved: "Especially with A.I. And this data has never been compiled. There's a reason it's siloed in the government. If you could bring it together with A.I., there's all manner of crazy scenarios. And as crazy as you want to get." At no point did the co-hosts of ABC's purported "bona fide news program" question these assertions or push back in any way. In fact, they were teeing them up.

Even if the commie finds enough votes to win the polls said D+25 and last time around the commie won by 11.
If this was a blue wave you've expect the results to have gone from +11 to something like +25 in a blue area but not from +11 to say +1
Posted by: 18-1 at November 03, 2026 02:26 PM (sKqQm)
My take is the Dems will lose a few of the high profile ones that really wanted to win, like Talarico and Al Sayed, but still unfortunately have a good night. But it's not going to be what they hoped for.
Like in in 2010, I remember being pissed Harry Reid won reelection, despite the fact Dems overall got destroyed.

BREAKING: A University of Michigan student seen attacking a conservative activist and resisting arrest in a viral video faces one felony count of assaulting an officer and two counts of assault and battery under a pending felony warrant, the Washtenaw County Prosecutor’s Office said Tuesday.
“We thoroughly reviewed the evidence that was submitted to us, and the following charges were authorized against Temulun Togochog based on the evidence that was submitted and the governing law,” Alyssa Fountain, an administrative assistant with Washtenaw County Prosecutor’s Office, said in an email.
Togochog has been charged with one count of assaulting, resisting, or obstructing a police officer, and two counts of assault or assault and battery, Fountain said.
“There is no court date at this time, but a felony warrant for these charges will be issued by the court and a court date set once she has been arraigned on the charges,” she said.

Beto got within 3 eight years ago right after Cruz, who's always not been a natural politician, got on the wrong side of MAGA by saying "vote your conscience" at the 2016 RNC after he bitterly lost the presidential primary to Trump.
In the 8 years since, Texas has gotten far more Republican (I've seen that imports are R+20 on average) and the Democrat brand has cratered, especially in the border counties because of Biden's open border policies.
And all of this is going to be undone because Talarico, who is a gay twink who loves trans kids and hates Christianity, went to seminary school.

I'm interested in the case only because it was fun to watch her get her ass beat by both the Jewish supporters and then the cops. Then she shouts out the immortal line "I've already been in a mental institution!"
It's also curious because 99% of these kinds of people are hideous and misshapen and turn to this kind of activism because they are desperate and needy.
This girl is much more attractive, has some pull in the community (she testified before Congress!), and woulda been going places. She chose this life.

Voted yesterday. Filled in our mail-in ballots at home. Ive been registered to vote absentee since I missed voting in the 1994 mid-terms due to last minute business travel.
I walked the ballots into the polling place and watched as the poll worker visually scanned the envelopes to verify they were properly filled in and watched him drop them into a black box with what looked like a tamper-proof opening similar to a mailbox slot. I live in a Republican district but no sounds like a shredder ensued.
Activity was busy but not crowded. I was in and out in less than three minutes. Took me longer to park my big klunky truck.

Had a female friend in college who got her belly button pierced. She of course had to tell everyone she met. We were having lunch in the cafeteria when another friend who didn't know her came to sit with me.
I decided to have a little fun, and turn the conversation to her piercing. She raved about how cool it looked and asked the other guy if he wanted to see. "Uh, ok I guess?"
She then stood up and started pulling her shirt up and my friend suddenly realized he didn't know what she pierced exactly and was...hopeful.
Only of course to be annoyed when she lift her shirt up only to mid stomach level and showed the belly button piercing. "Oh, uh, yeah, like, uh, that's great"

Yes, the quote is real. Sen. Ted Cruz said it on his podcast The Verdict with Ted Cruz around October 30, 2026 (a few days before Election Day).
Full relevant portion:
“Texas is excruciatingly close. Understand, we could lose Texas. Let me repeat that: We could lose Texas. And by the way, not just the Senate race. We could lose every single statewide race in Texas. That’s how close these numbers are.”
He framed it around strong Democratic early voting, national “bloodbath” risks for Republicans if early-vote patterns held (citing opposition to Trump), and the need for GOP voters to turn out. He noted that polls can have left bias but said the turnout data itself was real, and he urged people to vote.

Disappointed, Chelsea breaks it off with her fiance.
Months later, Chelsea brings home another man to meet the parents; the same thing happens.
Chelsea brings home a third man, and again, the same thing happens, another half brother. In complete frustration, she pulls Hilary into the kitchen and asks, "How could you have married such an unfaithful man? I'll NEVER find anyone to marry!"
Hilary responds, "Don't worry; he's not your father."

Yes. Plus, I liked his campaign where he ran on issues rather than personalities. Because he doesn't HAVE a personality.

🚨 VERY IMPORTANT: DISTURBING REPORT FROM SAN DIEGO BALLOT DROP-OFF LOCATION
An eyewitness reports that the ballot drop box at the library on Voltaire Street was so full that voters were being turned away.
According to the witness, ballots were on the ground as election workers slowly emptied the overflowing box, filling TWO bags.
The witness says one worker then loaded the bags into an unmarked minivan.
When she began recording, an election worker allegedly told her to DELETE THE VIDEO.
She refused.

The problem with the Dims Lying Polls That Lie is that most Reps/conservatives have figured out that political polls are 100% baloney-
while the Dims Low IQ Smooth Brains still think political polls reflect reality.
If the polls are way off, look for the Dims to pass laws making it illegal NOT to take a poll taker's call and answer their questions.
Oh, sure. No problem. 😉 😉 😉

Speaking of that Florida Learjet crash, I was reading some analysis last night and this morning by people who know what they're talking about.
The 20 yr old was almost certainly not at fault in any way, and in fact, done good, as best she could in those last moments. May God rest her soul.
The cause was likely ice build up, which triggered a stall and then a nose dive when they tried to ascend. They were likely in a non-win situation at that point anyway, and any other thing they tried likely would've had the same result.
There is speculation (informed but still guessing) that it was maybe the passenger who were pushing them to get there quickly and didn't want to delay, and that's what pushed them into the storm.

Ilhan Nur Said Elmi Wrote, In Her Certficate for Her Marriage to Her Brother, That Her Given Name Was "Elmi"
But then she crossed it out and falsified it as "Omar."
Deport this rancid walking crime spree in a burka.Confused much? Rep. Ilhan Omar apparently didn't know what her name was when applying in 2009 for a Minnesota marriage license to her alleged brother Ahmed Elmi, according to the document obtained by The Post. A certified copy from the Hennepin County, Minn., government shows that the Democratic congresswoman's surname was initially written as Omar, before being crossed out and replaced with Elmi. A final edit reverted it back to Omar. The revisions are potentially significant as the Justice Department investigates whether Omar fraudulently gained US citizenship in 2000 by failing to use her accurate legal name and birthdate.
The ongoing case builds on a probe into whether the Somalia-born politician committed immigration fraud by marrying Elmi, a British citizen who describes himself as gay.
"I'm not a Gay Pirate," Ahmad Elmi said,
while posing in his Gay Pirate Hijab
The Justice Department referred to Omar in a court filing last week as "Congresswoman Ilhan Nur Said Elmi, a/k/a Ilhan Abdullahi Omar." A source familiar with the investigation previously told The Post that authorities believe Omar is not the congresswoman's "real" name, meaning she was born with the last name of Elmi, just like her alleged brother-husband. The marriage certificate application -- dated Feb. 12, 2009 -- is a potentially significant piece of evidence, though not necessarily dispositive. The government form also asks whether the bride and groom are related to each other by blood or adoption. The couple attested they were not. Omar's office did not respond to The Post's requests for comment on the file. It's unclear who filled out the application, but it appears to have been written with just one person's handwriting. Unlike the Justice Department's recent reference to Omar's alleged true name, the initial revision was written as "Ilhan Omar Elmi," rather than Ilhan Nur Said Elmi, and potentially could indicate indecision about a post-marital name change. ... "The whole thing was a joke. The marriage was a fraudulent marriage, brazenly fraudulent," [Scott Johnson of Powerline and Alpha News] added. "They didn't take it seriously. It was entered into for a fraudulent purpose." AJ Kern, a former Minnesota congressional candidate who has dug into Omar's immigration records and discrepancies about her birthdate, said the evidence keeps piling up. "I think it's pretty clear she married her brother and committed immigration fraud," Kern told The Post. The bigger issue is having a non-citizen in office, she said. "If the evidence seems to be pointing to the fact that she never obtained citizenship, Congress is failing to do their job. If we've had a foreign nationalist occupying a seat in Congress, that's a problem," Kern said.

• Where to Apply: Applicants could purchase or apply for a marriage license in any county in Minnesota, regardless of where they lived. The actual wedding ceremony had to take place within the geographical borders of Minnesota.
• Application Details: Both parties had to provide information including their full legal names, addresses, dates and places of birth, Social Security numbers, information on any previous marriages or divorces, and the names they intended to use after marriage.
• In-Person Appearance: Around mid-2009 (taking effect in August 2009), Minnesota law required both parties to be present when applying for or signing the marriage license application (or submitting notarized supplemental forms if one party could not appear).

If a state is in multiple timezones, no counting results are made public until after the last precincts close statewide.
Part of the 2000 fiasco was that networks were calling the race after the eastern time zone had closed but while the western time zone was still open.
So, Texas will close an hour after Houston closes.

Heck, I think we should end Federal aid to the States! The "block grants" are sinister strings and an enticement to fraud. Federally administered programs were an absolute disaster, of course, but it turns out that the States are terrible too.
That doesn't mean the money should go to NGOs; "refugee resettlement" funds have corrupted churches, destroyed their reputations, and enshittified entire communities. Gov't is terrible, and it should get out of the welfare business entirely.

Last year LZ was filmed in his bus wearing a stereotypical Japanese schoolgirl uniform of pink and white. And there was a paper taped to the windshield that said "Lolita Line."
Yes, he was sacked from being a driver.
And really LZ. A Japanese schoolgirl uniform? Stop with the cultural appropriation.

You have to show ID. So I handed the ID verifier my debit card, asking for an extra ballot. No sale.
I then said "Me nombre is Manual Enfuego", and asked for a ballot. No.
Gave my driver's license over, which was scanned. Then I was asked to state my address. Which I did. "I could get an extra ballot in California", I said.
"Not here" was the reply.
Went to the booth with touch screen, and voted.
Wrote my name in for one position. I will lose that, because the person that got 3 write-in votes in the Primary was on the ballot. I was not ready to run before the primary. So my election record will go to 7 and 1.
Looked at my printed ballot to endure the votes were correct, and went on my way.
Rural Kansas is very Republican., but the six biggest cities in Kansas are filled with Leftist voters.
Out of the 2.8 million Kansans, 80% live in urban areas. The six million cows, mostly Angus, get no vote. (This is why President Trump was in Kansas. He was in Dem strongholds.)

A few jobs ago I had a dumpy, balding, male coworker.
He became a she and started wearing the kinds of dresses little girls wear, put his remaining hair in pigtails, and put on enough make up to make an Elizabethan actor call foul.
And I had to treat this guy like this was just completely normal in the office.

I get a lot of telemarketer calls because some resort company inputted a wrong phone number to their database before selling the phone list.
I answer one every couple of days to advise the poor saps doing cold-calls that they are doing a really hard job for an employer who lied about their "sure hits and certain sales for commission" and I encourage them to find a job that sucks less than telemarketing. The guys out of state I suggest welding or low energy electrical work since that pays better than being a college professor.
I will get a thank you from time to time.

Maine Senator Susan Collins' campaign office was vandalized with a chilling message in fake blood as chaotic incidents have gripped early midterms voting on election day.
Red graffiti reading 'BLOOD ON HER HANDS' was scrawled on Collins' Maine campaign office ahead of her re-election showdown against Democrat Troy Jackson, one of a few key races across the nation that will decide control of congress.
In New York, voting machines also failed in Westchester County ahead of a vital House election, with officials blaming the 'thickness' of ballot paper for causing widespread malfunctions and plugning the race into uncertainty.

SUBMITTED: Poll worker wears “Problem Solved” T-shirt with red splatter near the collar resembling blood.
Speculation is that it celebrates the assassination of Charlie Kirk or other assassinations; the Halloween design has been controversial for years.
The picture was taken Saturday at the Rogers fire station community room.
In a statement to @AlphaNews, Hennepin County confirmed it forwarded the concern to the city clerk in Rogers for review.
“Hennepin County expects polling places to be welcoming and free from intimidation, harassment, or disruption for voters and election workers alike… Anyone with concerns about conduct at a polling place should bring them to the attention of the head election judge or city clerk's office,” the statement reads.

If you mean the partisan advantage built into the new congressional maps—not seats actually won in today’s election—the total is Republicans +15 seats versus Democrats +6, for a net Republican advantage of 9 seats.

The real danger for the left is getting it to SCOTUS and a majority of 5 deciding that it's time to revisit Schneiderman v. United States, Afroyim v. Rusk, and Maslenjak v. United States, the controlling precedents on how the judiciary is supposed to approach denaturalization.
DC Circuit as a whole has a better understanding of how precedent can bite them in the ass than district court judges, and I'd imagine a DOJ intent on driving this issue as high as possible would get a favorable result at the circuit level.
Omar isn't worth potentially weakening the precedents.

She wrote her supposed name properly, I believe, in the space where it asked what her name was currently. It looks like she couldn't decide what her married name should be. I'm not sure that's quite the evidence people think it is. She had planned to change her name, and then she chose not to. I think this one is a nothing burger.

Circuit level has a stronger history of actually acting like jurists afraid of SCOTUS tearing up major precedent. They did a lot of ending things that could upend stuff throughout Trump's second term, mostly around civil service laws.

I loaded them up with all kinds of stuff they shouldn't be eating (donuts, pastries, tiny little cheesecakes, and candy). One old lady (Miriam) was a hoot. She got out of the fan, and looked up at the sky and said, "Just checking to see if the Turkey Vultures followed us here."

I fully believe the Pentagon 9/11 site was an airplane crash. That said, there's no good video of it. There's like one frame of a low framerate, low resolution security camera that captures a maybe plane.

Except for the tons of witnesses on the highway that actually saw the plane. No dash cams back then. Many of those people were interviewed and appear on older videos of the newscasts.

Trump Will End the $3.8 Billion Per Year of Military Aid to Israel by Year's End;
Counterintuitively, Is This the Best Outcome for the US and Israel?
The US will stop the payment of military aid to Israel. It will, however, continue authorizing the sale of key US weapons systems to its ally.
President Donald Trump on Tuesday said that the U.S. would stop sending military aid to Israel by the end of the year. Trump told "Fox & Friends" that Israel is in a position to purchase its own weapons and doesn't need the U.S. to fund them. The U.S. provides $4 billion per year in military aid, Trump said, and he and Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu had discussed terminating the funding for years. He said that the idea originated with Netanyahu. "They don't need it. Israel is a very thriving country," Trump said.It's actually $3.8 billion per year. Why would Netanyahu favor an end to US military aid to Israel? It makes no sense. Or does it?
Although this may seem to be a sop to the J.D. Vance/Tucker Carlson Groyper pseudoconservatives -- and I imagine it is at least partly that -- it might not be such a bad deal for Israel at all. Pro-Israel, right-leaning Jews have argued that the US should end aid to Israel -- because the aid is used by antisemites like Tucker Carlson to bash Jews, and because the money comes with very thick strings. Presidents like Obama and Biden have used the threat of withdrawing the aid to demand that Israel not strike back against the Democrat Party's terrorist allies. Jacob Siegel and Liel Leibovitz for Tablet, itself a Jewish commentary magazine:
End U.S. Aid to IsraelThe Iron Dome is, of course, an entirely defensive anti-missile system which the Totally Not Antisemitic or Pro-Hamas Democrats hate because it stops 90% of Hamas and Hezbollah and Iranian missiles from hitting the Jewish population centers they're aimed at. The Skwad and other terrorist-promoting antisemites want those missiles to kill Jews so that Hezballah and Hamas and Iran will be able to extract ransoms from Jews.
America's manipulation of the Jewish state is endangering Israel and American Jews
July 16, 2023
Two years ago, Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez famously wept in Congress after changing her vote on funding Israel's Iron Dome missile defense system from "no" to "present." The New York Times said that the incident showed progressive members of "the Squad" "caught between their principles and the still powerful pro-Israel voices in their party, such as influential lobbyists and rabbis." (The line was later removed with no correction.) In People magazine, the congresswoman's procedural maneuver to avoid voting was appreciated for its pathos: "Ocasio-Cortez Opens Up About Israel Iron Dome Vote That Left Her in Tears: 'Yes, I Wept.'" In the end, the resolution passed the House 420-9.
Tucker Carlson never objects to paying off Egypt. I suppose he might, because the money is intended as a bribe to avoid hostilities against Isreal, and he would like every Muslim country to attack Israel. But he and the other antisemites JD Vance insists on courting never bring up Egypt or all the other countries on the American dole, because they want to make the claim that the US is dominated by "ZOG," the Zionist Occupational Government, and bringing up the fact that the US sprays money around like P. Diddy at a Baby Oil Freak-Off would damage their bison-skulled propaganda efforts. The writers note that Obama's promise of aid to Israel, $3.8 billion per year for ten years, was only made so that he had the power to restrain Israel from attacking his close ally, Iran:
Ocasio-Cortez's bit of Kabuki theater fit neatly into the premade mythology of a domineering Israel lobby, popularized by academic John Mearsheimer, whose views are experiencing a burst of popularity in isolationist corners of the right. His central claim--that America has been pressured by an all-powerful, determined ethnoreligious lobby into acting against its own interests--is made explicit in references to "influential lobbyists and rabbis," in Rep. Ilhan Omar's tweets that U.S. support for Israel is "all about the Benjamins," and in graphics like The New York Times' infamous "Jew-tracker" that policed support for Barack Obama's Iran deal according to the religion of members of Congress. Belief in the mythic power of "the lobby" rests on a common article of faith that is shared by Israel's loudest critics and most fervent supporters--namely, that U.S. military aid forms the cornerstone of the "special relationship" between the two nations, and that this aid is a gift that powerfully benefits Israel. Cutting off Israel's D.C. cash pipeline, it's assumed, would dramatically alter the balance of power in the Middle East: in one scenario by endangering Israel's security, and in another by forcing its recalcitrant leaders to accept the enlightened proposals of Western policymakers. While this fantasy version of the U.S.-Israeli relationship is useful for stirring up emotions and demonstrating partisan loyalties, it does more to flatter the self-importance of Israel-aid opponents and supporters alike than it does to describe an increasingly warped reality, in which Israel ends up sacrificing far more value in return for the nearly $4 billion it annually receives from Washington. That's because nearly all military aid to Israel--other than loan guarantees, which cost Washington nothing, the U.S. gives Israel no other kind of aid--consists of credits that go directly from the Pentagon to U.S. weapons manufacturers. In return, American payouts undermine Israel's domestic defense industry, weaken its economy, and compromise the country's autonomy--giving Washington veto power over everything from Israeli weapons sales to diplomatic and military strategy. When Washington meddles directly in Israel's domestic affairs, as it does often these days, Israeli leaders who have lobbied for these payments--including current Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu--are simply reaping the rewards of their own penny-wise, pound-foolish efforts.
... It's no wonder that one well-known regional expert we consulted, who served in high security-related positions in the U.S. government, was horrified when we proposed ending American aid to Israel. When we asked which of our arguments were overstated or mistaken, this person answered: "None of them. But my job is to represent the American interest. Aid to Israel is the biggest bargain we have on our books. Ending it would be a disaster for us. I just don't see who it benefits."
... Ending aid would not mean the end of the U.S.-Israeli military alliance, intelligence sharing, trade, or any mutual affinity between the countries. Rather, it would allow both sides to see what each is getting in return for what. In the words of retired IDF Major General Gershon Hacohen: "Once we are not economically dependent on them, the partnership can flourish on its own merits." ... Formal U.S. military aid to Israel, as opposed to loans and cash-on-delivery arms sales, started in 1979, when the Carter administration offered it as a carrot to get Israel to agree to withdraw from all of Sinai as part of a peace deal with Egypt. The same deal provided a comparable sum of U.S. military aid and arms to Egypt, for many years the second-largest recipient of U.S. foreign military financing after Israel. Notably, the aid to Egypt was given despite the country's displaying no capacity to deploy military force outside its own borders--the goal being to achieve a rough form of U.S.-brokered parity between the two recent foes.
..Another point the authors make is that by requiring Israel to buy American missiles and weapons with the aid, it necessarily -- and possibly intentionally -- starves Israel's own vital domestic industry from cash. And that means that someone like Obama and Biden can blackmail Israel with the threat to withhold providing the American anti-missile missiles that keeps Israel cities from being destroyed. In addition, US supplies of the Patriot missile are currently small, partly because we're sending so many to Ukraine and also shooting off a lot of them to protect our own bases from Iranian attacks. Other countries like Israel simply can't afford to be dependent on US anti-missile defenses, because the US, of course, may reprioritize delivery of the missiles to other countries (like Ukraine) or just need to use so many of them ourselves that we have few to send to overseas clients.
In reality, the MOU advanced Obama's goal of paying lip service to Israeli fears while constraining future Israeli actions, in line with a new American strategic architecture in which the interests of traditional allies like Israel and Saudi Arabia would be "balanced" with those of their mortal enemy, Iran. It deepened Israel's reliance on U.S. arms and military spending, while extending Washington's reach into Israel's domestic affairs. Paradoxically, the "most generous" package ever was an instrument to downgrade the U.S. commitment to Israel. The MOU purchased both influence over Israel and the acquiescence of American Jews who were expected, in the face of such public generosity, to go along with the White House policy of strengthening Iran, while upholding the narrative that Obama was Israel's "best friend." ... Last week, President Biden authorized the military to deploy up to 3,000 reservists to Europe in support of Ukraine's war effort. There are, at present, an undisclosed number of American troops operating in Ukraine alongside the other 80-some countries where the U.S. has forces stationed. By contrast, no American soldier or pilot has ever risked their lives for Israel, and no American missile or aircraft has ever flown in Israel's defense. Such are the myths and realities of "the lobby."
... Cut the stranglehold of aid. Let America pursue its interests. Let Israel, too, follow its own interests, which sometimes align with those of Washington and sometimes don't. If Israelis think it will ensure their security to decapitate the Iranian regime, or give the Golan Heights on a platter to Bashar Assad, or develop their own homemade fighter plane and sell it to India or Saudi Arabia, let them go ahead. And let American Jews who care about being Jewish focus on observance and learning their people's history, instead of pimping for Lockheed Martin. If the commitment to Israel is deeper than mere political fashion, if it is more than a secularized idolatry, then it's time to prove it--by smashing the ideological idols of America's Israel debate.Will this appease the rapid Nazi and cryptoislamist Tuq'r Qarlson? No, of course not; he and his allies on the Skwad will shift their attacks from aid to Israel to weapons sales to Israel paid for with Israel's money, period. It will certainly be clarifying. And that is itself a good thing.
BREAKING: President Trump says the U.S. will end roughly $4 billion in annual aid to Israel by the end of the year, revealing that Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu agreed to the decision.
“Because they don’t need it,” Trump said during an exclusive interview on @foxandfriends, describing Israel as a thriving country that no longer requires American financial assistance. Trump also said Netanyahu raised the idea of ending the aid himself. He emphasized that Israel remains one of America’s most reliable allies as the two countries prepare for a major shift in their financial relationship.

Self-reliance for lower-tech items (ordnance, ammo, small arms) was pursued strongly by Israel up until (?) 10-15 years ago. Resuming much of this production has been an Israeli priority since 10/7.
And I think $500M of the "aid" package is for joint development projects (from which the US obviously benefits, and bigly) - don't think that will be ended.

However, I have followed Bob Geldof for many years since he was inside the workings of international food aid to Africa for decades.
Based on that expertise, he now believes that "free" food is a net harm and is clearly the most effective way to suppress or drive out local food production.
I am not an expert on the defense industry, but I suspect the same economic principles may also apply to Israel's defense contractors.
So Israel may in fact be bettor off without massive amounts of U.S. foreign aid. At least during non-crisis times.
Aid to Israel is a huge talking point for anti-semitic Leftists, and perhaps some Independents. Would have been nice if Trump had made that announcement a bit earlier than election day.

Which is my problem with this. We shouldn't be giving ANYONE aid, except for specific goals that align with the US.
We should NEVER be giving aid as a matter of course. To ANY country.
But that's not what the complaint is. It's that our (comparatively) small amount of money that goes to Israel proves that TEH JEWS control the US.

Back when it all started, there were two linkages deliberately designed in to provide political support to it all. The Egypt and Israel aid packages were linked, of course. And the whole thing was housed at State, instead of DOD, which would have been a logical place for it given that it was mostly military. This was to help protect the political basis for foreign aid, always the red-headed step-child of appropriations politics.
Egypt aid will now be sort of orphaned. Interesting.

Back when it all started, there were two linkages deliberately designed in to provide political support to it all. The Egypt and Israel aid packages were linked, of course. And the whole thing was housed at State, instead of DOD, which would have been a logical place for it given that it was mostly military. This was to help protect the political basis for foreign aid, always the red-headed step-child of appropriations politics.
Egypt aid will now be sort of orphaned. Interesting.
Posted by: rhomboid at November 03, 2026 12:16 PM (U/Byj)
Egyptian aid should be evaluated in the context of their government. We don't want their government to collapse and be replaced by the Muslim Brotherhood. Unsure how reliant they are on US intervention.

On the other hand, it is also a perverse incentive for shitheads. This allows them to say that Israel is in no real danger and should not be fighting back as aggressively as they are. It's no big deal. The reason it is no big deal is because tech on the defensive side is making it so that the terrorists are not killing as many people as they wish to.
On the other, other hand- these shitheads are always the same- on the other side. When a big loss of life and war crimes DO happen (see Oct 7) they pass it off as no more than them doing what they are doing in response to Israel's 'aggression.'
So, fuck them all. Kill the fuckers.

It should be obvious to the world by now that there is an insidious and well funded campaign to increase support for islam throughout the world. As always, this means a counter campaign to vilify Israel. It's what they've been doing in the middle east for years and now they've taken the campaign worldwide.
We need to push back hard on islam and sharia and all things related to islam. If we do that then the campaign against Israel will be much less effective.

Well, mostly. 3.3B out of 3.8B is financing, the other half billion is direct aid.
As to what I said about Camp David, grok says:
In short, the large-scale US aid packages to both countries are a direct outgrowth of the Camp David peace process and remain in place as of late 2026 (with a possible near-term shift for Israel under discussion). They are sustained by successive US administrations and Congress as a matter of policy rather than treaty requirement.
So we wouldn't be "breaking" Camp David Accords. Just breaking the tradition.
I also think that Netanyahu would rather not be bound by US conditions that come with the aid. I would suspect that Egypt will want their payments to continue.

I think it's a good sign for Trump/Republicans. The odd MAGA-only voter has been Trump's strength but Republicans' achilles heel. Dems have always been motivated to turn out against him. So, big turnout, unlike pre-Trump conventional wisdom, is most likely good for Republicans.
There is a rare possibility it means unaffiliated normies are really upset and motivated and coming out to vote en masse. While always possible, it's always very unlikely. We're not at Carter 1980 levels of normie unhappiness.

T2 cut off a lot of that aid already. USAID is basically dead, most of the "humanitarian aid" programs have been shitcanned, and some trade agreements reworked to stop just funneling money to africa.
That was the cause of all the whining and crying and boo-hooing from the left about how poor africans are dying because they don't have diesel to run their trucks.
There's always more to cut, but T2 already slashed tens of billions from the aid to africa. Excellent start.
Europe also cut back on a lot of african aid.

The women were all in hijabs, but not burkas - moderate muslims by Afghan standards for sure.
The instructors were American women in t-shirts and shorts and men...of course.

Countries can ask for help if they need it. But help needs to be specifically described.
We need help with irrigation systems
We need help with building safe apartment buildings
We need help with building roads
Give the blueprints and they can do the rest.
No one treats something they did nothing to earn as well as they do something they built themselves.

Commodities are priced globally regardless of how or where they come from. That's why we have oil drilled, refined, and sold in the US being sold at the going rate for it having been through Hormuz and shot at by Ilhan Omar's family. So hitting any refinery raises gas prices in the US, even if it's not a refinery we buy from.

Petroleum, like money, is fungible. If a Russian refinery stops making diesel, the Russians will have to buy on the world market to make up the shortfall. That puts upward pressure on prices. Disregard sanctions, the Russians will find a way to evade them, also putting upward pressure on prices.

This is true. Which is why grain prices spiked when Russia invaded Ukraine. Yes, commodities are fungible. But in the case of diesel, we are the largest exporter in the world. If you are worried about diesel supplies in the US, you shouldn't. We have plenty.
If you are worried about price, that is a different matter altogether.
Wars suck, especially for the civilians. But when they start messing with commodity prices, maybe putting pressure on Putin to end his invasion would help.

Russian diesel was not on sale at large quantities on the global market thanks to sanctions. Ukraine could hit diesel Russian refineries all it wants; not really going to make much of a difference. The rising cost of diesel is more of a result of the Middle East.

Voting day is always heavily Republican in every state from about the blue side of purple to the deepest of red.
If FL GOP walks into election day with a registration advantage in early voting, the only question is how big a victory Republicans are going to have.
And this can be repeated across a lot of other states.

They predict:

-Use the Justice Department and U.S. Marshals Service in a nefarious way
-The election results will be hacked and changed (teed up by Sunny Hostin)
-Use peoples Social Security numbers to manipulate their thoughts

What I Saw at the Trump Rally in Salina, Kansas 1 November 2026 [NaCly Dog]
This was President Trumps 30th rally in 32 days. It was his final rally before the election. Trump has been in Kansas before, in Topeka , and also in Wichita for this election cycle. The initial rally was scheduled for Saturday. It was canceled. After questions from the press, the Rally was moved to Sunday. This was Trump’s second Rally of the day. He had an earlier Rally in Iowa.
There was no problem getting to the remote parking place, but we arrived 8 hours before Trump’s speech, and a full 3 hours before doors opened. My widowed friend and I did pass by 10 protesters on the way through the outer security perimeter. We passed street vendors selling Trump memorabilia, and especially hats. School busses took us through more security checkpoints. Once off the bus we walked to a serpentine holding line next to a hanger. 10,000 tickets were downloaded for a venue of 7,000 seats. The crowd was a mix of all ages, from a few babes in arms, a number of young people, and many in their 60s to older. There was a large number of red Trump hats in view, with funny to respectful t-shirts and attire. The line was a collection of high trust, good people. We were with some long-marriedcouples, one married for 52 years, and a middle-school math teacher at a local Catholic school. One couple brought a disposable chair and were very gracious to share with others in need of rest. There had been a roar when the four engine Boeing 747-800 Air Force 1 landed and taxied near the waiting crowd. One person stood out in the line, in a black suit with a black Trump hat, and a cell phone with an external power pack. I talked to him, figuring his formal dress marked him as European. He was a Romanian member of their Parliament. His mission was to contact the 1.4 million Romanian-Americans to get them to vote for Trump. He had spent 2 months traveling all over the US. On Election Day, he will be near Mar-a-Lago. Thanks to some commenters, I could knowledgeably discuss recent Polish and French events, and the specific Romanian shenanigans. His take was Trump is ensuring the continuation of Western Civilization, and is the last barrier to barbarism. “The US is the hope of the world.” We were in line for 4 and a half hours. After the doors opened, it took an additional hour and a half to get to a professional security screening. TSA should be so good. Our tickets were not collected, but I am pretty certain face-recognition software was in use, from all the cameras. We sat near the fence line, and I could see the personnel ramps for both doors of AF-1 and people moving inside. Security was both viable and quiet. I noticed helicopter air cover, and then special police drones with blue flashing lights. Lots more Secret Service were around, as well as three types of local police. No police snipers were seen by me. Secret Service agents were roaming the crowd all the time. We had an excellent sight-line to the open rostrum, protected on the sides and back by bulletproof glass. The Kansas City Chiefs game was on a large Jumbotron. With the Chiefs having a strong lead, the Jumbotron went silent. Senator Marshall, on the ballot, and then Senator Moran came out to pitch the crowd to vote. Some policy was discussed, but mostly the negatives of opponents were mentioned. Then the Gubernatorial candidate Ty Masterson made his pitch, as did the incumbent State Attorney general (Kris Kobach, a personal favorite of the crowd and me), my Congressman, and another. All gave strong speeches, with policy to favor Kansans and denouncing the Left, their actions, and the DEM opponents, with specifics. They left, and we waited for President Trump. He was still in Iowa at the other rally. The game came back on, and then toe-tapping rock music was played using two separate banks of 8 very large speakers. Hearing damage was possible. I could feel the bass compress my ribs and go from the ground to my femur. I was too close. We were outdoors, with bleacher seats behind the President and on the rear. Some people had to stand or squat. There were 4 food vendors there, and the prices would make an airport blush. Two pork cheeseburgers and two waters was $46. The caps were taken off as they handed you the water, so some manual dexterity was needed. The Chiefs lost the game, darkness descended, and we waited, being pounded by the music. Then the speakers crackled “Air Force 1 to Salina Tower, permission to do a low pass over the large crowd?” “Permission Granted.” “In sight.” Over our heads came a Boeing 757 in AF-1 livery. The plane landed and I noticed a long line of vehicles, headed by the Beast limo, head for the aircraft. They blocked any sight lines from the crowd to the deplaning group. We
could see people moving off the plane, but lighting was low. Eye of the Tiger music pounded us as the group left AF-1. Trump came out to a frenzied crowd an hour and a half after the posted time. His voice was a tad raspy. But he talked about his achievements, with many big numbers. He talked about the good of tariffs and manufacturing, and seemed very proud of getting lower drug prices. He also said this was his last rally. Before the election. He worked the crowd very well, saying he wanted to go on after the Kansas City Chiefs game was over and praised the coach (Andy Reid) and QB Mahomes. He said he was sad they lost. When the President came out, there were a lot of vigilant and visible protection. He urged us to vote. He spoke highly of Senator Marshall, and invited him up to speak. Then he praised Kris Kobach, and got him to talk. Later he asked the Secretary of Agriculture to speak to the farmers and ranchers. After telling how he bullied France to help with his drug pricing, he called for Rubio to come up. Three times he said that Rubio is getting too popular. Twice he finished with “I’ll have to fire him.” My take was this was a sigh of high approval, and I moved Rubio into the status of heir apparent. VP JD Vance was mentioned once. I noticed three people that spoke talked of him calling them after midnight and before 6 AM. One said his wife was going to call Melania if it happened again. He highlighted the threat to gun ownership several times, and there was a show of hands of gun owners. Practically the entire crowd raised their hand. Much more than when Veterans were asked to stand, or when ranchers and farmers were asked to raise hands. Trump demonstrated a high energy level. He did not want to quit with such an enthusiastic crowd. He mentioned the fake news only three times. Without heat. Like they were sad puppies. As an aside, every time I passed the cordoned off press area, I wore my biggest sneer possible. I had one protester shout at the President right behind where I was seated. I swirled around and got out of my chair in one movement. A look at my face, and she flipped me off with both hands, while backing up. A nearby Salina Police Sgt. passed me and led her away. President Trump was having fun, had some sly humor, but he was dead serious that we needed to vote. He was like a priest, and I saw him evoke God and the many good pastors in his life, like Billy Graham and Norman Vincent Peale. He even pitched the book The Power of Positive Thinking. I got the feeling he was trying to pass on to a new generation what made him great, like a proud granddad to a grandchild. We both had a great time. The school busses made for a quick exit, and clear traffic home.

BTW, I saw an especially sneaky set of signs at the MA / NH border. Former governor John Sununu is running for congress, and you can see a number of signs reading

which you would think are supporting signs, but each of them also has a snarky line underneath, such as:

At Kiawah Island Country club. It was just in a big conference room. Maybe 200 people.
He showed up a bit late, riffed for 40 minutes, mostly about Francis saying something not nice about him (which happened like the night before), and he worked the room like a master.
Got his autograph.
Very different vibe from his rallies now, it seems.

Fairly quiet polling venue, though it was getting busier as I was leaving.
Glad I got the early though, as there were 13 ballot initiatives that I needed to read through CAREFULLY, the last of which was a yay or nay on establishing a Human Rights commission for the City of Buffalo based on the UN Charter ... that got a hearty FUQ NO !!!

The Reidville Fire Dept was hopping busy for sure. We just got back and there were a lot of people there, but the line went quick. Jr. Black got there when it opened at 7am and there was a line formed right into the kitchen of the fire station. Our neighbor is working the polls and she had to be there at 5am.

@AGHamilton29
Yesterday the NYT published a list of what was alleged to be over 500 Michigan “Jewish leaders” supporting El-Sayed. The point of doing so was to paint a narrative that he has strong Jewish support in MI.
But did the NYT do any vetting to the list?
A quick skim and you notice it includes names like “Jack Mehoff”. I happen to know that one of the names is someone deceased. A majority of the signatories don’t even use their full names, just a last initial, so it’s impossible to confirm these are even real people or Jewish.
Why would they publish a story about a completely unreliable list with random names on a google sheet? Because the point was the narrative.

But I expect with what we've seen so far from Trump 2.0, the next couple years will be a raging, vengeful duck period. I think it's gonna be wild, and I'm looking forward to it.

My bet is it will be called a blue wave by the media regardless because the Dems will almost certainly net seats.
It's just a trend that's been around for several generations now. The party that lost the last election and is out of power tends to do way better in the next election.

If you don't understand the issues then your voting is a negative overall, not a positive, both for you and the republic as a whole, and this is in a real non-partisan sense.
And honestly the people that have to be cajoled are less likely to be informed.
So yes get out in vote, if you are actually going to understand what the candidates stand for, what the implications of the D or R holding either or both houses of Congress, and what your state/local officials will do.
I'm surrounded by left leaning LIVs that complain about what their state/local officials do and then go re-elect them, willfully ignorant they are voting directly against what they seem to actually care about.

@AGHamilton29
Yesterday the NYT published a list of what was alleged to be over 500 Michigan “Jewish leaders” supporting El-Sayed. The point of doing so was to paint a narrative that he has strong Jewish support in MI.
But did the NYT do any vetting to the list?
A quick skim and you notice it includes names like “Jack Mehoff”. I happen to know that one of the names is someone deceased. A majority of the signatories don’t even use their full names, just a last initial, so it’s impossible to confirm these are even real people or Jewish.
Why would they publish a story about a completely unreliable list with random names on a google sheet? Because the point was the narrative.
Posted by: SMOD at November 03, 2026 11:21 AM (RHGPo)

500 "jewish leaders"? What's a "jewish leader"? Are there 500 jewish "leaders" in MI?
There are only about 100,000 jewish adults in MI. 500 leaders would be one leader for every 200 people. And this is only leaders who endorse Gay Terror Rentboy.
So yea: this is complete bullshit.

Washington — Democratic Rep. Debbie Dingell of Michigan said Rep. Haley Stevens' stunning endorsement of GOP Senate candidate Mike Rogers over Democratic candidate Abdul El-Sayed is having the opposite effect of what she intended. "You're seeing a backlash," Dingell said in an interview on "The Takeout with Major Garrett" on Monday. "It's galvanizing many communities."
El-Sayed's campaign says it raised more than $2.4 million on Sunday, the same day that Stevens — his former Democratic primary rival — came out in support of Rogers

NH elections have been crooked for some time.
Yes the "cities" vote blue, and when you go in them you see signs for whatever Dem socialists are running. But you get out of the cities and every sign is for Trump/republicans, including in the burbs
Yet the official totals show massive number of blue votes coming from the 'burbs/rural areas.
And this is very, very different from the rest of New England where when you travel in the burbs/rural areas you see plenty of Dem signs.
I guess all those massive number of Dem voters in the burbs/rural areas are just afraid to put out signs like every other Dem does or something right?

But, in 2026, they outright attempt to nationalize every single senate race they're after, ensuring that turnout in heavy Republican states goes up compared to a more sedate midterm.

But OTOH, I think Stevens and the rest of the moderate/Jewish Dems in Michigan are doing is reflecting what moderate Dem voters are telling them. So this isn't Stevens standing on her principles, this is her staying ahead of the poison for the party AES would be.
Of course we will see at least 100% of the muslim vote in the state cast for AES...at least...

I saw an architecture documentary about a Japanese American furniture maker born in the 1900s. Wish I could remember his name. He had to go to the internment camp in Idaho during WW2, and met a master furniture maker there that taught him. He would find discarded materials and reclaim them and build furniture. Continued making furniture after the war. He build a whole compound for his furniture shop and his home in PA. Sounded like a lovely person. First world problems in an internment camp wound be a very interesting series.
The Japanese internment camps are a good model for how to survive with grace should the left ever get their way and we all go in one. The Topaz camp in Utah had a newsletter they printed, so we could keep Ace's blog still going at least! But in print form.

Historically, we NEVER have tons of Senate race ads, because the race is clearly going to go to the Republicans.
This year, there may be four Senate ads during a commercial break.
For sure, the Democrat internal polling is showing they have a chance, or they wouldn't be spending that much money.
Personally, I am hoping that their pollsters are made up of the usual class of Democrat grifters, and that they are wildly incorrect.

I kinda assumed that he fell down a well or left for the Galapagos Islands to fuck turtles or some such thing.

This line of attack fascinates me. Even if Paxton was a lazy, lecherous, corrupt sack of shit you'd have to be insane to vote for "I love transchildren (sexually) Talafreako and I'll make sure other men like me get to do so as well"
You aren't voting for Pope (and the current one is no paragon of virtue either) you are voting for who is more likely to vote for the policies you want.

Heck, I didn't personally like Trump, but I went out and voted for him. I liked his policies, and not his mouth...but his mouth doesn't matter...it's what he does, not what he says...
Who cares if your candidate is likeable...the only thing that matters is will he make American great for Americans (stealing Trump's motto)...

Nick Fuentes has advocated for voting Democrat for the last two elections, but because he says it like, "Trump isn't hard enough on deportations", it means he's far right.

Three Latvian talk. First one say "My son is farmer. He is eat as many potato as want."
Second one say "My son is soldier. He is rape as many women as want."
Third one say "My son is dead. For him, struggle is over."
Other two say "Wow! You are win us!"
I tell daughter, "Daughter! I take you to America!" She is weep tears of happy. I use tears to make salty potato. Then I say "Daughter! I lie! I no take you to America!"
Now potato is more salt.
"Knock knock!"
"Who is?"
"Potato farmer. I give free potato!"
But is not potato farmer. Is secret police.
Man have hungry family. Is steal bread to feed them. Come home, all family sent to Siberia. Man say "Sad, but more bread for me." But bread have worm.

GatewayPundit has this..
Two former staffers are accusing Alaska Democratic Senate candidate Mary Peltola of repeatedly using the n-word, including once to attack an Army veteran who organized a fundraiser for her.
An unnamed staffer says that during an October 25, 2024 dinner to honor Black Army soldiers who helped construct the Alaska-Canada Highway during World War II, she used the slur while privately lashing out at the man promoting the event.
Ed Wesley, an Army veteran and former commander of the American Legion Post 34, had urged Peltola’s campaign to purchase multiple tables for the event, assuring her they would be filled. But when the event was poorly attended and the tables sat mostly empty, according to Alaska Landmine, Peltola lost it, calling Wesley a “scammer” and the n-word, according to the former staffer.
“I can’t believe that n—r,” she allegedly said

polynikes,
Look at the example of this painting on the Jules Breton Wiki page. It is a lot brighter with more details of the women's faces and the background. I actually prefer the one in the thread because it has more of that end-of-day feel. Both are worth study if only from an appreciative viewpoint.

Last night they showed 1930s King of Jazz, with Paul Whiteman. No plot, just a revue, almost like a poor man's Ziegfeld Follies. Worth it for the leggy chorines and the performance of "Rhapsody in Blue."
After that was Hollywood Canteen, but I recorded that. I've got a nasty cold and will watch it later this week.

According to Grok,
Duncanthrax is a mid-tier, occasional commenter rather than a high-volume poster, appearing in threads on AoSHQ's comment archive (acecomments.mu.nu) across topics like gun rights, media criticism, and political satire—hallmarks of the blog's content.
Tone: Dry, bellicose wit with a touch of world-weary cynicism. Comments are concise but punchy, favoring clever one-liners over lengthy rants.
Topics: Predominantly conservative-leaning takes on U.S. politics (e.g., mocking liberal media figures like Jim Acosta), Second Amendment advocacy in gun threads, and cultural critiques. They engage in pile-ons against perceived left-wing hypocrisy but also toss in self-deprecating humor or gaming/pop culture asides to lighten the mood.
Community Role and Influence
In AoSHQ's ecosystem, Duncanthrax represents the "geek-conservative" archetype: informed on tech/military topics (possibly informed by Kistner's background in C++ and open-source projects like Scream, a virtual sound card tool), yet fully immersed in the site's rowdy banter.

No one marries the Navarro lady for her brain. But she got the ozempic shot and did slim down.
Not to turn anyone's stomach this morning, but I found about "ozempic vagina" and it sounds horrible. I didn't think about how if getting the shot strips muscle, it also atrophies the muscle keeping lady bits and organs in place. You're welcome for that mental image.

Jules Breton
Did we have this painting before, or maybe one very similar? Doesn't matter. This is beautiful, idyllic.
It looks like a photograph, it's that good, and I would hang it.
--
The painting portrays three monumental peasant women walking back across flowering fields bathed in a warm, glowing sunset.
Lyrical Realism: Unlike some of his contemporaries (such as Jean-François Millet) who focused on the harsh, gritty exhaustion of rural labor, Breton infused his depiction with a poetic, dignified, and almost devotional grace.
Reception: The heroic and idealized presentation of agricultural workers made Breton's work immensely popular during the late 19th century, particularly among collectors in the United States and France.
References include Brooklyn Museum (where it's held) & Artvee.
Thank you

WASHINGTON (AP) — The United States will stop providing $4 billion in aid each year to Israel in 2027 but will sell arms to its closest ally in the Middle East, President Donald Trump said on Tuesday.
The Republican president told Fox News Channel during a phone call on Election Day for the midterms that Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu had approached him about the idea and that they have been talking about it for a couple of years.

The Morning Report — 11/3 /26
. . . France – along with many of its neighbors – faces the specter of a species of revolution that may end up replacing Western freedoms with some hideous hodgepodge of Communism and sharia law. In Warsaw, too, this past weekend, people began taking to the streets in large numbers. But the Polish crisis could not be hardly different from the one afflicting Western Europe. In Paris and elsewhere, governments that have slavishly followed the EU’s globalist-minded directives instead of attending to the needs of their own people are paying the price for it. In Warsaw, on Friday, a group of five judges who had been appointed by parliament but not yet sworn in by the president, Karol Nawrocki, occupied the building of the Constitutional Tribunal, whereupon one of them, Anna Korwin-Piotrowska, illegitimately and peremptorily removed the court’s president and deputy leader, appointed herself to take their place, and ordered the court building surrounded by police.Let's see, "replacing Western freedoms with some hideous hodgepodge of Communism and sharia law" Now doesn't that have a familiar ring to it right here at home, especially today. Meanwhile he may not be in Warsaw, but depending on how things shake out there, he might not make it back. Not alive anyway.
Polish member of the European Parliament warned Americans against voting for Democrats in the 2026 midterm elections, arguing that socialism could threaten their freedoms and lead the country down a similar path Poland experienced under communist rule. Dominik Tarczynski delivered the warning during an appearance on Fox News’ Saturday in America as he discussed political unrest in Europe and the dangers of socialism.Preach it brother! But they're that is they'll be wielding the whips having us build a White Sea Canal back to the 12th Century!
“Socialism is death, slavery, lack of any freedoms. Please don’t do it. Don’t go through 70 years of occupation like Poland did,” Tarczynski warned.
It took the human race thousands of years of suffering under tyranny and slavery to arrive at the Age of Enlightenment, 1685–1815, during which the absolute powers of spiritual despots and monarchs were overthrown in favor of the construction of constitutions of common law and declarations of human rights, including the rights to one’s own thought, faith, and expression; the rights of property; and the right to pursue personal happiness through freedom of enterprise. The citizens became the sovereign, and the government became the servant. These societal compacts of law wrought an unprecedented change in human fortunes toward individual liberty and societal harmony. The era gave birth to an explosion of artistic expression, scientific discovery, and industrial invention, culminating in most of the benefits we enjoy in our modern age I recently came across a news item that made me reflect on our strange political environment —always a painful experience.Although this is quite a good piece, the author attributes way too much altruism on the evil Commies when all they want to do is exert absolute, total and permanent control on society, period, end of story, And on that note, I invite you to peruse the Politics and associated links to try and read the tea leaves. And of course GET OUT AND VOTE, LIKE THERE'S NO TOMORROW because depending on the outcome, there might not be one, at least not the one we had wished for, or more accurately worked our asses off and sweated bullets for... and in some cases like Ashli Babbit and Charlie Kirk as well as some of our ancestors who survived socialism in th third world and Nazi occupied Europe, took bullets for. On that note, as always I nevertheless bid you all to have a good day, and say a prayer for our sacred nation and society that we carry on regardless of today's outcome, and that Leftism and Islam one day soon are returned to the fiery pit from which they slithered.
Bernie Sanders, the ancient socialist senator from Vermont, delivered a tirade against artificial intelligence, claiming that it had provided the tools for unscrupulous hackers to break into unauthorized bank accounts.
Even as he railed about an “evisceration of our privacy rights,” Sanders introduced legislation to “ban artificial superintelligence and temporarily pause advanced AI development.”
. . . Progressives want to pause data centers today because they killed off nuclear power decades ago — a chain of causation that can lead, quite literally, to the dark ages.
The best illustration of the horror of change and lack of forward-thinking by this sect can be found in their favorite means of transportation: trains and bicycles.
I mean, these are 19th-century technologies: the first steam-powered locomotive made its appearance in 1804 while the bicycle was invented in 1817. Nevertheless, progressives spend enormous amounts of taxpayers’ money to promote these comfy old machines. The socialist mayor of Paris, France, spent hundreds of millions of euros and destroyed her perfect city to install bike lanes. . . The socialist craves a return to the communal womb — to a society as unchanging and dogmatic as anything experienced by our medieval ancestors. The dream is of Utopia, but what you get is Cuba, a place where the population is too hungry and too cowed to worry much about data centers. That, in brief, is my complaint and concern about progressive conservatism of the Bernie Sanders kind. . . But by confusing their hopes with reality, progressives have tumbled into a fallacy and seem determined to drag us there with them. Like Goethe’s Faust, they believe they can “pause” society in a perfect moment of universal harmony and sustainable prosperity.
That way lies damnation.Human societies are dynamic, complex systems, assembled through a historic process of trial and error and always adapting to changed conditions.
They can’t be paused, any more than one can pause a Cat 5 hurricane — but they can be made maladaptive, contradictory, and ultimately self-destructive.We are no exception.

One person stood out in the line, in a black suit with a black Trump hat, and a cell phone with
an external power pack.
He was a Romanian member of their Parliament. His mission was to contact the 1.4 million
Rumanian-Americans to get them to vote for Trump. He had spent 2 months traveling all
over the US. On Election Day, he will be near Mar-a-Lago.
Thanks to Whig and other
commenters, I could knowledgeably discuss recent Polish and French events, and the
specific Rumanian shenanigans. His take was Trump is ensuring the continuation of
Western Civilization, and is the last barrier to barbarism. “The US is the hope of the world.”

"Their own political analyst, Nate Cohn at The New York Times, came out today and said they're struggling with non-response bias," Allocco said.
"They're trying to model non-college blue-collar workers, and they can't reach them.
"They call it weighting their poll. I call it a Magic 8 Ball," he added.
Yep. They know their polling is flawed, but it's not stopping them from declaring a Blue Tsunami.
It reminds me of 2016 when Hillary was 98% certain to win, because the polls said so.
It was only ten years ago. Remember the faces of the expert pundits as the reality slowly set in.

Both parties are changing, and Noonan misses why.
The Ds evicted White Non-College from their party years ago, even though they outnumber White College by two to one. They're now Trump's base and with their support he's won the White House thrice. Trump has been expanding his base with many Hispanics and some Blacks. It's becoming a Populist Party slightly right "north by northwest."
Meanwhile, the Ds have a shaky minority coalition but with hands on many of the levers of government and business.
The Ds are already fracturing over DSA. "It's the People's Front of Judea."
I expect they'll be in total disarray by 2028, especially if the Blue Tsunami doesn't arrive today.

The absurd pageant of fake democracy has become a grueling civic ritual stage-managed by the deep state and donor class, and it consumes fully half the waking lives of people who live in this empire.
It's lame AF.
In Imperial Rome, as the actual Senate and People of Rome lost more and more relevance, they at least promulgated more and more State holidays to keep people entertained and distracted.

But then the wheels started coming off. Instead of focusing on wringing inflation out of the economy, Trump launched an erratic, unfocused, divisive trade war that opened him up to the charge — rightly so — of raising prices instead of cutting them.
The attacks on Iran, as justified as they were to prevent that terrorist nation from acquiring a nuclear weapon, could have stopped with the bombing of its underground facilities, with the promise of more if they tried to reconstruct it. The wider campaign, which we support but which he never fully justified to the public, jacked up the cost of both gasoline and food — the two things where prices are the most obvious to consumers.
Trump closed the border while restarting wall construction, which were massive victories. But the deportation campaign has been a needless PR disaster.
And Trump’s fixations on the White House ballroom, the Kennedy Center, and various other D.C. projects only served to paint him as vainly focused on the wrong priorities.

Its interesting when charting money pissed away to elect candidate X compare to candidate X's legislative effectiveness, those lines go in opposite directions.
If you look at the aggregate of things done in the House or Senate SoS (Session over previous Session), they accomplish less and less and the functioning of the nation relies more and more on EO and bureaucratic cruise-control or the Regulatory Branch of government.
The assertation of the Esteemed Hawaiian Judge's complete and total rule over any matter, has disrupted this picture even more.

There are a whole lot more voters in this country who contribute nothing to our society, than nonvoters who contribute nothing to it.
Their opinions do, in fact, matter.
And never lose sight of the fact that, voter or nonvoter, nobody's opinion matters to the people counting those slips of paper.

The biggest thing you have to keep in mind is, there's not a lot of data; less than 20 marginally useful points.
Second, the biggest losses came after wave elections, where weak candidates were swept in 2 years before.
the biggest losses came when the prez had under 40 approval and the other party had over 10+ on the generic.
So, 100% of the Dems prediction of a blue tsunami are:
- Trump is deeply, widely unpopular
- Trump lost 40 seats in 2018
However, Trump is now over 40% and the only proof he is unpopular is ... polls. It shows up nowhere else.
2018 is not predictive, it's an outlier where over 50 Rs resigned, many of them senior members, where the entire GOPe was openly embracing the Russia hoax.
But I see the online left are taking 2018 as a baseline--and all their polls flow from that.

2018 happened because Dem numbers increased by...a weird amount.
Trump had the best retention numbers from his party for a midterm for a president in...a very long time. It was like 80% of the vote from the presidential GOP showed up for the GOP in the midterm.
Obama got about 60% in both of his midterms from Democrats.
In 2018, Democrats just increased...more. It was either highly animated base turnout (possible) or...well, 2020 happened 2 years later.

Any plane crash, you look for the four corners - nose, left wing tip, right wing tip, and tail. If you don't find the four corners at the crash-site then something probably broke off in the air.

The only reason people think Paxton is a shit candidate is because the establishment in TX tried to destroy him...and failed.
As the impeachment circus was ramping up in 2022, Paxton won re-election by like 10 in the general and swamped the GOPe candidate (George P. Bush) but like 40 points in the primary.
Oh, and he got divorced because the MAGA based demands marital purity in its preferred candidates.

EXCLUSIVE: Slam Frank, the much talked-about Off Broadway musical that re-imagines the Anne Frank story as a multi-ethnic and genderqueer hip-hop musical, is extending its run into 2027 due to popular demand.
Initially set to close at the end of November, the musical by Andrew Fox and Joel Sinensky will now play through January 4, 2027, at the the Orpheum Theatre in Manhattan’s East Village. Previews began on September 17 before the official opening on October 4.

If he were running in a purple state, sure.
But, he's a Republican running in a deep red state. He just has to be Republican without serious scandal, and his serious scandal was dealt with years ago.
Remember, people were afraid that Allred would beat Cruz in 2024 because Cruz is a shit candidate.
Both parties spent $200 million on that race alone.
And then Cruz won by 9 because...Texas is a deeply Republican state.
It's like the $100 million spent against Graham in SC in 2020, the polls showing Harrison within spitting distance and then...Graham won by 9.

Contentious senate elections drive up turnout in the states that have them. The electorates end up closely reflecting PVI of the state.
Which makes it pretty much impossible, outside of the rare incumbent like Manchin in 2018, for the wrong party to win a senate race in a state that the right party president won by 10 or more.
It has happened once this century (Tester in 2006, an awful GOP year). The idea that the GOP loses the senate requires at least 4 of these to happen this year. At the same time.
Waves crash unevenly. The are highest in favorable enclaves and lowest in unfavorable enclaves. They're muted, at best, in contentious senate states.

I said I'm not blaming her. There was obvious catostrophic failure in that aircraft. My question was, and the only thing I've found online was that she had 86 hours or some such.......27 is a LOT different in flight time than 20.
When my dad was flying privately (owned a Cessna 172), he never amassed enough hours for a multi-engine cert. Granted, that was 30+ years ago, but still. It took TONS of flight time to get each rating. She did it to get a seat in the cockpit in a Lear Jet by age 20?

Nationalizing SpaceX would involve handing Musk several hundred billion dollars. He'd just take himself, and most of his workforce, and move to another country and start over. We'd have the already built infrastructure, he'd have the know-how. It would slow down his efforts and give a leg up to Chynah.

It was a small cell that was rapidly intensifying. It would've shown itself on their weather radar. ATC had earlier given them discretion to deviate left or right of course as necessary. They didn't deviate for whatever reason.

When my dad was flying privately (owned a Cessna 172), he never amassed enough hours for a multi-engine cert. Granted, that was 30+ years ago, but still. It took TONS of flight time to get each rating. She did it to get a seat in the cockpit in a Lear Jet by age 20?

No, the blame is on the 55 year old white male pilot. He made the catstrophic error. Was he overconfident? Did he miss it? Was he took concerned with getting to the Bahamas on time vs taking the time around? Who knows.

Not so fast. There is a sizeable (~10%-15%) of the demographic who have no marketable skills, cannot be profitably trained, nor have the intelligence or physical ability to perform work.
They are too retarded to be trained, to feral to be around others, too irresponsible to be trusted in any capacity, or physically incapable of providing for themselves.
Society has no plan for these people, so we permit NGOs to discover proxies through fraud. Society just needs to optimize the fraud so that the retards aren't receiving G-Wagon levels of sustenance.

'What are we voting for today? What’s on the ballot in Pennsylvania'
Maria Francis, USA TODAY NETWORK, updated today
In part, "It's Election Day, and Pennsylvania voters are heading to the polls Tuesday, Nov. 3, to decide who will represent them in Harrisburg and Washington.
Americans aren't voting for president this year. Instead, voters across the country will decide all 435 U.S. House seats and 35 U.S. Senate races, along with governors and state and local races.
For Pennsylvania voters, today's ballot includes the race for governor, all 17 U.S. House seats, 25 state Senate seats and all 203 state House seats. Pennsylvania does not have a regularly scheduled U.S. Senate race this year."
👉🏻Americans aren't voting for president this year.
I don't believe 3.5% of the population of this country is ready or able to dissemble it.
I do believe Senate Democratic Leader Chuck Schumer, who denounced Haley Stevens' for her Republican endorsement as a "despicable betrayal," has done by far worse by far longer to the American people - including "his

It's well known, it's time for Chuck to move on.
And no matter if No Kings protests go on and even expand, the fools in the streets don't know - or won't admit - the truth. But those running their games know they still need Trump & the majority of his cabinet to continue cleaning up the messes created by the Left and its Autopen Joe and his keepers.
PDT pulled up our country, and them up by extension, before & even despite impeachments & more, all after O & Joe's massive giveaways, education trashing, nation wasting.
And he's doing it again now, i.e., 'The U.S. manufacturing sector expanded in October 2026, marking its 10th consecutive month of growth according to the Institute for Supply Management (ISM),' by The Hill.
The sufferings of the country are by far more entwined in the past w/Democratic administrations. While a terrible lesson to revisit for the American people, it's up to the voters. "All politics IS local politics."
Give it to G-d. Vote. Protect you & yours.

- Yes we have no frozen bananas, part the two: Hackers have hit supermarket freezers across Belgium and Sweden, turning up the defrosting units, pushing temperatures up to 50C and destroying food. (Tom's Hardware)
And Ireland, Estonia, and the Netherlands as well."We've been working all night and morning to disconnect the affected units from the network."
Wut.CEO Stephan Moelans said that while the company has been working "very hard" to protect its fridges against the vulnerability, physical modifications to its units are required. The company says switching units to a secure internet connection is the simplest solution in the meantime, a measure carried out by most of its customers in the wake of the France attack.
It seems at least that this attack is on a smaller scale because many companies notice eventually if you keep stealing their wallets.

Tachyum Slovakia is responsible for most of the development of Tachyum's thus far non-existent 1024-core CPU. Tachyum Slovakia is a subsidiary of Tachyum Inc., and that subsidiary filed for bankruptcy on October 22.
Tachyum Inc. could continue work, maybe, except that Tachym Inc. is a subsidiary of Tachyum Ltd. based in the Cayman Islands, which is also the target of liquidation proceedings.

This. Raspberry may be a victim of the memory prices right now, but it doesn't change the fact that their prices push them right out of the market sector that they were supposed to be appealing to.

>>their prices push them right out of the market sector that they were supposed to be appealing to.
Once you add a power supply, case and some storage, you’re pushing over 500 dollars.
For that kind of money, you can get a refurbed sff hp for less that will be orders of magnitude more powerful, add in an ESP32 and you have a more powerful computer and more powerful microcontroller.
I think this price increase is an indicator that RPI intends to move out of the hobbiest market and just become a provider to industry.

G & R, regarding that list of unreliable Intel chipset modems: I don't see a manufacturer name on this modem. Part and serial number, and FCC ID, yes. But no company name. However, it does not say "Intel" anywhere on it or on the box it came in, or on the minimal documents. The web page said "Stand-alone routers do not have Intel chipsets." Is this a "stand-alone"?
I'll bring the old box to a Cox office today.

I've tried some of the Euro food that World Market offers. There was one small loaf of German bread that was awful even toasted. Their brands of chocolate are good and there are a few other items I like . . . but that bread was revolting, like chewing dust bunnies. Thank God I got it half price.

Spectrum only charges monthly rental fees for their modem if it is a modem/router, not if it has no router capabilities.
But when you set things up for them to send you the modem you must tell them to verify that the unit they are sending you is 'Modem only' so as to ensure no monthly rental fees.

Because I was burned three times in a row by Intel Puma 6 Chipsets in three subsequent modems, and I know the problem I ran into showed up between 24 and 36 hours of runtime, I'd wait till you have the current one running perfectly for 72 hours THEN return the old one.
