The Morning Report

The Morning Report — 11/6/26

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

A despicable Nov. 8 protest against Jewish-owned restaurants in Philadelphia proves that the alleged bright line between antizionism and antisemitism is a dirty lie.
Philly bicycle activism group On Your Left is launching a bike-by protest in support of Boycott CookNSolo drive to shut down six restaurants in the tony Rittenhouse Square neighborhood, all owned by Jews.
“These Zionist establishments must go! Not in our city!” On Your Left demands.
These eateries, it says, must “die,” along with the “political ideology of Zionism.”
Zionists? Of the four restaurant owners called out by name for death or expulsion, one is Israeli-American; the other three are American Jews, but that’s all boycotters need to know.
One target, Marti Lieberman, who runs a popular mac’n’cheese spot, explains that her business has nothing to do with Jews, Israel or Zionism — except that she sometimes
So, for the boycotters, simply being Jews is enough to make these people “disgusting humans” who should be driven out of business.
More damning still: The protest date, Nov. 8, coincides closely with the 88th anniversary of Kristallnacht — the “Night of Broken Glass,” when Nazi thugs burned more than 1,400 synagogues and destroyed thousands of Jewish businesses.
The organizers admit they knew this, but excuse themselves their event is the day before Kristallnacht.
They even have the gall to call their critics “cynical” for conflating antizionism and antisemitism — even as they’re treating all Jews as Zionists and therefore subhuman.
And on the eve of the blackest days in the history of pogroms: They’re barely even pretending not to be Nazis anymore.

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

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

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

Last night, Americans made a clear call for accountability and affordability. A body politic cannot recover until its harms have been treated and its wounds have been healed. Crimes against our people and our Constitution must be answered for. The historic abuses of the last two years must be prevented from happening again. …
Additional examples include Sen. Chuck Schumer stating, “You have to go after the corruption” and that Democrats would “launch investigations, take him to court and entangle him in legislative razor wire.” Sen. Ed Markey posted on X, “They are going to need to plant new forests for all of the subpoenas we’ll be printing.” Celebrity and longtime Trump hater Rosie O’Donnell crowed, “The Trump regime is over… Let the investigations begin, people. This is a glorious day… We’ve had enough.”... The post-Trump era begins now.
Crimes against our people and our Constitution must be answered for. What she means is, Trump and MAGA Americans have been an unforgiveable obstacle not only to a Hillary presidency – for which she will never forgive us – but also to permanent, one-party Democrat power, and they must be punished. (The “Constitution” part of her statement is purely for show, to maintain the illusion that Democrats respect the Constitution. In actuality, they see it as a “living document” which should be modified or rolled back as needed to accommodate the Left’s lust for power.)...This is the party, you will remember, that has vowed to defund the police and abolish ICE. It is the party that throws open the prisons to release felons of color back on the streets. The party that threw open the border to millions of illegal aliens to change voter demographics. The party that fights tooth and nail to make voter ID unnecessary, if not forbidden, at the polls. The party that defends looting as reparations and rioting as the “language of the unheard.” The party that gleefully celebrates the murder of Charlie Kirk and made a folk hero out of the assassin of healthcare CEO Brian Johnson. This is the party that voted into the Senate a Muslim Brotherhood operative, that covers for a Muslim Congresswoman guilty of immigration fraud, that welcomes America-hating socialists into its “big tent.” The party that physically assaults conservative students on campus. That carries out obvious widespread voter fraud but accuses Trump of wanting to eliminate or rig elections.

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

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

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

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

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

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

On Thursday, November 5, Newsom announced that he would commute the death sentences of all 548 inmates on California's death row to life imprisonment without the possibility of parole. The sweeping decision, made during his final months in office, affects some of the state's most notorious convicted murderers and has sparked outrage among the public, the victims' families, and prosecutors.
For families who spent years seeking justice, the horrible decision raises a troubling question: Should one governor's personal opposition to the death penalty outweigh the sentences handed down by juries, reviewed by the courts, and a death penalty system that California voters chose to retain in 2016? I do not think so at all.

And look what else they have up their sleeves!

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

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

Convicted Death Squad Leader Ashrafuzzaman Khan Sighting in Texas
Will the U.S. pursue justice for Khan’s victims, or will it continue to serve as his safe haven?

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

You saw that early voting strength everywhere.

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

But they also got regular folks.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

We got a lot of what we asked for. Not everything but a lot more than usual in 2 years. USAID might be gone but the NGO army is still largely intact and being funded by deep pockets around the world.

Two years of Trump is not enough to explain what happened here. No way. It's just not. If R's had dropped in a significant way, maybe. But most people simply do not pay attention to anything except what the Left shows them.

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

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

The donks were motivated by hate and a twisted sense of getting revenge.

Also, with the exception of Florida apparently, voting systems and processes in this country are f**** ridiuclous.

We don't have election day we have election season, with unmanaged voter registration, ballots coming in from all kinds of sources, zero accountability, zero tracking, zero chain of custody, RCV, jungle primaries, etc.

Conservative ballot measures won.
Conservatives who delivered, eg. FL, won.

Ten Republican Senators in DC chose to throw the country into the hell of tyranny over their personal dislike of Trump.
Because they didn't want him having credit for the policies they ran on their entire career.

There are 19 Republican state senators in Texas that are the last line to saving Texas.
And the nation.

If they can hold the line, give conservative voters a reason to vote in 2028, we can take back Texas.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

173 >>In Texas in the first few days of early voting, every statewide democrat candidate got 4 million votes, which is higher than presidential level turnout.

Those are the kind things I'm talking about. Early voting is a vector for cheating.

I've heard a lot of people talk about how bad a campaigner Paxton. Compared to whom, Talarico? He's a freak show. He might have appeal in San Francisco some other bastion of liberalism but statewide in Texas? To trans kids?

In the 2022 US Senate race in Texas Cruz got 4.4 million votes, Sadler got 3.1 million.

In 2026 Paxton got 4.2 million and Talarico got 5.4 million.

176 Morning, all. Coming straight to the comments again. I can't read the links. Just can't. I've been thinking a lot since Tuesday. So many feelings. I despair for what awaits us. I despair for what Tuesday portends for the remainder of this country before we descend into madness and irretrievable recovery. I listen to the crazy already coming out of the D-Communist politicians, I listen to their supporters. I remember the woman who wanted Trump's supporters put in concentration camp ovens who -- shockingly -- won her election. I see constant violence. I see a future with millions more illegals committing crimes and driving up costs beyond the breaking point. I see each election cycle elect more and more radical islamists. I see a D-Communist party that stops at nothing to win. And I see a GOP that stops at nothing to thwart Trump and help the communists win. Pretty bleak. My only savior is in my Savior. It's the place where my peace lies. That's the greatest takeaway of all.

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

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

You have at least three generations of utterly retarded children occupying adult bodies. They have no morals, no character, no faith, no purpose.

Fuse together Jewish and Protestant Christian creeds and you get the purpose of man:
"The purpose of man is to live in a right relationship with God, reflecting His character in the world through obedience, love, and worship."

The population does none of that. They want bondage and to worship demons because that is what the algorithms tell them they desire.

The Election is a reflection of that godless, faithless, nihilism.

Standard practice for Calirado.

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

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

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

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

That's Calirado for ya.

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

And in states that allow unmanaged registrations, early voting and basically have election seasons.

The donks have taxpayer funded machines to do all of this underhanded/cheating bullsh*t.

The GOP doesn't have a teachers union or service workers unions that would do anything to keep their gravy train running.

You throw in the Soros's and other evil billionair f**kheads that fund these dirty operations and you get the disgusting, corrupt racist Keeysha Lance Bottoms as the Governore elect of Georgia and literal anti-semites and nazi lovers elected.

I won’t belabor the point, but the numbers say it was massive Hispanic turnout for Ginojoza, which carried all of her political allies. A movement long theorized but never seen in Texas before this week.

Many are flaming this is evidence of vote fraud, but…. Counties do their own counting before sending it to the state. This effect was apparent in all 254 counties, meaning that for it to have been fraud (rather than a seismic shift) it would have required 254 different coordinated fraud operations, including in the most conservative counties in the State. That’s not a logical assumption. A straight reading is that the Hispanic voting block became massively motivated and just took over the state government.

213 14 A lot of the analysis post-election seems to ignore diesel prices and Ukraine. While the voters might not associate the two, the actual cause of the majority of the diesel price increases is damage to Russian refining capacity. Russia was the world's second largest diesel export and went to a full export ban. Diesel prices are way more elevated than gasoline, and driving far more of inflationary pressure.

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

Republicans passed a budget, and even with billions, probably a trillion on fraud that went out the door increased the baseline. Let that sink in. You don’t have to be a math wizz to understand that billions in phony spending went out the door, you discovered it, and you didn’t cut a dime from money that wasn’t real spending.

The voters Trump won over in 2024 left fastest: 18% of his voters under 30 and 13% of his Latino voters backed Democrats.

The Latino crossovers' top issue: the cost of living (57%). The Iran war: 2%.

Nothing in the Constitution requires a retirement before nomination. If Thune is serious, test him with a nominee pending a resignation, and see if he can get a confirmation before the retirement actually happens. I believe Thune will fail. As he does.

Look at the Michigan 2014 Senate election. Compare it to 2026.

Trump was the only candidate who could win Michigan. He has not been a drag on the ticket. He brought a specific demographic to the Republicans, which is well-studied at this point, but they only turned out when he was on the ballot.

Only an idiot keeps muttering the same words, thinking repetition counts as legitimate argument. Your inane focus on Trump as a person, as opposed to the policies he supports, belies your own words.

Trump has been the only source of real energy in the GOP for a decade, and now he is a lame duck, but his policies are still popular. Immigration control, for example is still widely popular. Voter ID we already talked about, and is popular. The tranny shit is another area where GOP policy ideas are widely supported.

So get over your fixation on Trump already.

The ingredients that make a Constitutional Republic are long gone. It was a unique, once in a Creation opportunity and it has passed. So what is left? The usual track is tyrannical dictatorship, and there is an opportunity now to dodge it.

And Walsh doesn't want Trillionaire Tech Bros as our boss. But compared to tyrannical dictatorship by sadistic demons, we have an opportunity to live in The Matrix. Everyone really wants to live in the Matrix because they live like children under the roof of semi-protective parents.

They voted for Trump in 2016, 2020 and 2024.

And still the whole party won't listen.

I did not read Vance's post to be against Israel at all, and it's stupid to inveigh against it over just that.

Texas allowed over 2m voters register without proof of citizenship over the last 2 years. That has been the left's plan all along. Vote for them or they will replace you with those that will.

Posted by: Huck Follywood at November 06, 2026 08:45 AM (56ehI)

You seem to have trouble understanding my point, so I'll spell it out.

Mentioning Bush was a way of saying, "Saying Trump isn't unpopular and wasn't why the GOP lost in 2026 is like saying George Bush wasn't unpopular and wasn't why the GOP lost in 2006."

"But Trump won in 2024." And Bush won in 2004.

Posted by: Don't Blame Me! at November 06, 2026 08:48 AM (pVklW)

Clearly this is because Bush was a lout and personally divisive. Nothing to do with actual policies. Bush just had a cult of personality that wouldn't accept how offputting his behavior was.

Or maybe it was just Bush was bad at campaigning. Didn't sell the message hard enough. Nothing to do with actual issues.

294 I do not know how we come back from this. I seriously don't. The Democrats will have 56 senate seats coming into the next election. We will have to defend 18 seats. Good luck with that. Just look at all the Republican states that elected Democrat governors and a Democrat senator.

Losing Texas we lost the electoral votes.

The Supreme Court will be quickly replaced and any rights we have that they want will be easily taken away from us. Even if we have some judges ruling in our favor, they will be able to take it to their Supreme Court and get the ruling they want. It just goes on and on about what a disaster this is.

Worse than that. With Texas, the Electoral College is over and the Popular Vote will determine elections.

Think about that. With all of the current states where Vote Fraud is at least 20% of the vote, after a Presidential Election, California, Illinois, New York, et al will be "counting ballots" until their candidate wins. We will know before the Election who wins, but the "official" ruling won't be made until enough ballots have been manufactured and tabulated to anoint their Chosen.

The Republic is over since Texas fell into the hands of the Devil. Its just a matter of time before Texas joins the National Popular Vote Interstate Compact and Game Over. One Party Rule.

302 It's not the amount of shift that suggests cheating. It's the probability that every single county would shift the same direction.

Posted by: Emmie

This ironically is the best evidence it was NOT cheating. Cheating, as in 2020, would look like anomalous results in major population cities which could be controlled, but not much effect in outlying rural counties. (Not enough impact there to make it worth setting up a fraud operation.

But a massive move in every single county says that this was a seismic shift in the general voting public, and it would be madness to deny it happened.

Personally I think we’re in an era where most voters will hate whoever’s in power, and we’re going to ping pong back and forth between the parties chaotically.

Lets assume that Tom Servo's proposal bears fruit. With NPVIC, its pointless because the insurrecting states will stuff tens of millions of ballots to override whatever Latino crossover takes place.

Remember, under NPVIC, its the balance of total ballots. California alone can generate enough ballots to overwhelm any GOP rise in Texas.
