The Morning Report — 11/9 /26

TrimDems.jpg

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

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

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

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

Robespierres With Guillotines: Lust for Revenge Could Fuel the Next America First Resurgence: The insanity of the Democrats and their lunatic NeverTrump fringe transformed Trump from a pariah into a victim. . .

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

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

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

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

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

And speaking of Dachau:

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

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

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


El-Sayed Declares Michigan ‘Capital Of Arab America’ In First Remarks As Senator-Elect — During his victory speech, El-Sayed repeated arabic phrases he's uttered along the campaign trail to rally supporters.

No doubt they were also yucking it up about how Charlie Kirk was butchered.

ABDUL EL SAYED FAILS BACKGROUND CHECK FOR CLASSIFIED SENATE BRIEFINGS

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

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

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

Cynical Publius

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

It’s going to be a wild week in the US Senate. Buckle up.

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

A few takeaways…

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

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

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

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

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

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

Transparency and openness.

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

Democrats completely stole it for 2026, where their entire message was "Democrats are for you."

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

Four million people in the US are getting mobile devices and data services each year. Add in the 40 million foreigners added in the past few years.

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

Limiting Data Centers in a fast growing world where AI is the fastest growing sector is to Affordability as is stopping housing construction permits or denying oil well permits.

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

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

Scroll to the bottom of this post and listen to the video and you can hear in their own words how they did it.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

130 Internet reacts as 20-year-old claims her 'body count' is over 1,000

A 20-year-old woman known as Jackie from Long Island has gone viral after claiming she has a "body count" of (meaning she has had sex with) 1,572 people — and the internet has not held back its reactions.

Key Takeaways:

In an interview for The Dating Blind Show, Jackie said she has a "body count" of 1,572.
She is 20 years old and said she began having sex at age 18. If she is being honest about her tally, that would amount to an average of more than two different sex partners every day.
While this seems unlikely, the comment sparked reactions that were largely unfavorable, in a culture that also mocks the idea of sexual restraint.

134 It's more likely Republicans offerer the same old slimy GOP while Dems gave out nothing but hypertargeted "messaging" and propaganda.

Look at the GOP candidates across the country and tell me how it has "changed". Mike Roger's looks straight out of CIA central casting, Bush in a blonde wig.

It is not enough to convince voters, when people can sense the guy doesn't care about them. Not when they are up against charismatic plants everywhere.

Also I had noticed and pointed out the Dems picked a message and ran it national. But local. "Michigan is not for sale." "Massachusetts is not for sale."

It doesn't mean shit - and in fact it's a lie - but it SOUNDS good. It's basically "America First" but on the state level.

Exactly. If you look at the video I posted above you can hear directly from the people who spent close to $1 billion over the last year to add millions of new leftist voters all across the US.

A network of very well funded NGOs worked to change the electorate and they did. Republican turnout overall was slightly up for a midterm. Democrats hit presidential election numbers. They are playing a different game than we are and it's not about any one issue. It's about finding new voters, getting them registered and getting their votes one way or another.

It certainly helps the left that we have insecure elections with mail in ballots, no ID in certain areas and no requirement to even prove you're a citizen to register, even in Texas.

Exactly.

Exit polls show "affordability" was the top issue for 57% of Hispanics.
They can be won back, just as easily as they were lost.

Here are Gina's top 3 priorities:
1) A $1500 "rebate" check, draining the Rainy Day Fund--that she has to get past a 19-12 senate
2) Expanding Medicare for the poor; that she has to get past the Texas senate.
3) pause all new data center permits

More to the point: People are going to find out just how weak the TX gov is.
And that Gina can't deliver on a single thing she promised.
And all the border sheriffs have already signed ICE coop agreements--she can't stop that.

We are facing down a decade just to get back to what we had a week ago, which was a knife edge.

Essentially the US has decided socialism aint so bad after all, and installed some of the most evil and f***d up anti-semites and racists to install it.

There aren't 535 members of Congress and 9 jurists on the Supreme Court, and there aren't 50 states with their own executive, legislative and judicial branches, and there aren't thousands of counties/parishes with their own replicas, nor the myriad of NGOs, agencies and regulatory institutions — all that their retarded brains can handle is centralizing all of their woes upon a sole central figure.

So no matter how the tens of thousands of malevolent politicians, lobbyists, staffers, bureaucrats, judges, magistrates and paper pushers act, no matter what they do, only the bad is magnified if the god is a Republican and only the alleged good is exalted if the god is a Democrat.

So naturally, darkness and evil will descend upon the earth in the form of Demonic Party activism, and the retards will simply agree that the god in the White House is all to blame.

I imagine this attitude was very widespread on the R side in Texas. But Trump knew things were troubling, that is why he had an unprecedented mid-Term convention in TX and held rallies there multiple times. But he cannot do everything, it is up to politicos in TX to do the actual work. But maybe they were too busy cruising on the money they got from all the tech companies moving in, to pay attention.

First a reminder - in 2026 Trump received 6.4 million votes in Texas. In 2024 Abbot only got 4.4 million. 2 million Texas Trump voters either changed parties or stayed home. Texas Hispanic voters went at least 50/50 for Trump in 24. This time they went about 75/25 for Hinojoza.

Also:

1. The Biden Admin. naturalized about 3 million aliens from 2021 to 2024. Add them to the post-2020 eligible voter pool.

2. Every year (nationally) about 4 million 17 year olds turn 18. Math says that since Trump was first elected in 2016, that's somewhere around 40 million new potential voters.

3. Trump received 46% of the vote from 18-29 year olds in 2024.

4. Last Tuesday that demographic voted 31% for GOP candidates. (Nationally)

It's not hard to find the shift in the vote from 2024 to 2026.

Chiliasm is heretical.

The very idea that the King/Priest of the order of Melchizedek would be that of a temporal rather than of a spiritual kingdom is to essentially reject the book of Hebrews.

The idea of the Messiah making blood animal sacrifices to Himself in the HoH in a Temple built with human hands is an abomination.

France has officially passed a groundbreaking law targeting global data traffic! Lawmakers voted in favor of a new digital infrastructure tax, approving a levy of roughly 6 cents per gigabyte on all data transmitted into the country.

Designed to force tech giants to contribute to local network maintenance and telecom infrastructure, the new measure will hit bandwidth-heavy services hardest. Streaming platforms, cloud providers, and search engines like Netflix, Google, and Meta could face combined costs running into hundreds of millions of dollars annually. While supporters argue the tax creates a fairer digital economy, critics warn companies may pass these extra expenses directly to subscribers through higher monthly fees.

There's another way for percent of votes of a certain demographic to go down other than flipping. Additional votes of the same demographic going to the other candidate does the same thing.

Glancing over the internet, and the clicks upstairs, and reading Insty- I see nothing but Democrat insanity.

What with Ol' Sloppy 'Gina in Texas already murdering the great Texas economy by forcing Musk to close his Gigafactory production. (Goodbye jobs!), to Georgia new let's make insurance ruinously expensive for the average folk, to law fare, to unconstitutional laws elevating islam in NJ,

I see nothing regarding "affordability".

All I see is New and Improved Turbo-Biden Inflation and Governance coming down the pike. Initially, in states who voted these idiots into office.

Yeah, there may have been cheating. However, the GOPe also made sure there was nothing to vote for.

I believe with Democrat Turbo-Inflation and all the creepy insanity and violence that we could be competitive in '28.

I suppose right now is the time to start looking around for new, truly conservative, attractive, young candidates to primary out grimy, greasy, grift-sodden GOPe slugs like Thune out of office.

We'll see.

And the Democrats targeted them heavily.

But what about the millions more young men who become voting citizens every year?
What message did Republicans offer them?
That Epstein list you wanted? No.
That DOGE you were excited about? Sorry.
Gas prices? Housing? Jobs? No, no and no.

But here's more money for waitresses. And here's more money for the olds. And here's some money for those rich enough to buy a house or start a family. And the stock market is really booming if you'd care to buy some stocks.

The Dems blamed their privilege.
The Republicans told them to "pull yourselves up by your bootstraps."

Lizzy Warren says if you've been "cheating" Americans, get ready for "serious investigations."

She's asked who specifically she's talking about.

"Anyone who's been cheating. That's what investigations are all about."

Translation: We have no idea if any crimes have been committed by our list of targets, but we'll be digging hard to try to find some. (And if we can't find any, we'll just invent some.)

I didn’t see it coming. I kept saying and thinking it was impossible for Gina to win since she wasn’t even running any campaign that I could see.
What I did not know was that she was running a massive campaign on Spanish language media that in retrospect was incredibly effective. None of us Anglos knew about this or even saw it coming, including Abbot and Paxton. So none of them ever responded , allowing the claims of mass race based government persecution to stand unchallenged. A massive mistake on our part.

Add to that the fact that Abbot did almost no campaigning at all and apparently just assumed he’d be fine. He never should have run for a 4th term.

We thought the important race was Paxton vs Talerico. That was just the sideshow. The important race was Gina vs Abbot, and she kicked his ass and dragged all of her allies along with her.

205 We need to stop paying consultants and focus on turnout and equal the hundreds of millions the left spends on it. That's what wins now.

Interesting. The Left uses turn-out too. They turn out the dead, illegals, the dementia riddled seniors, felons, cartoon characters, people who have moved years ago.

You will not beat the Left at the numbers game when you restrict yourself to rules that guarantee you win. They play by the blood sport rules of BAMN and will win because the will to power is greater at this game than your dead rules of honor.

This is no longer a Constitutional Republic filled with honorable and self controlled people, its a free-for-all knife fight where there are no rules, only power.

The fastest growing sub-group right now is the DSA. They are rapidly taking over the Democrat Party. And they aren't doing it by flipping Old Timey establishment Dems, they are doing it by bringing in a whole new bunch of voters. That's who NYC got Mamdani. That's how Michigan got Abdul. They will vote for the radical in the primary and then whomever has a D behind their name in the general.

223 Lizzy Warren says if you've been "cheating" Americans, get ready for "serious investigations."

This is revealing. They absolutely hated the SAVE America Act because they rely on vote fraud and by establishing mechanisms that foil many forms of vote fraud would put them at a distinct disadvantage.

What they DO control is the investigation part. So use vote fraud liberally if you are of the Left, and the "investigations" will never happen. Also use the threat of, and the implementation of expensive "investigations" on your enemies regardless if there was any fraud performed on their part.

It is no longer The Process is The Punishment. It is the Process is The Persecution. With demonic prosecutors and "judges" with a singular mind to use the skin-suit of Justice to bankrupt, reputation destroy and incarcerate their political enemies by imagining bogus charges and running their victims through the legal gauntlet, they can talk big about "justice" as they administer the exact opposite.
