Voters reject AI data centers on 29 separate referendums.
THIS ONE IS NOT SO CHEERFUL …SERIOUS SHIT
Ta-da! Behold, the magnificent majesty of math. I don’t want to be that guy, but a “collapse in turnout” is the opposite of what the GOP needed to do to prevent this from happening. Avoid the temptation to carelessly assign blame. Republicans did whatever they could think of to get out the vote. They redistricted. They held a midterm convention. They outspent Democrats. The President held daily rallies for the last month. The DOJ pursued illegal votes in every imaginable way— far beyond anything any previous Administration has ever done. No electoral stone was left unturned.
It wasn’t enough to prevent a “collapse” in Republican turnout. We didn’t even match 2022 numbers. So we definitely failed to make it too big to rig.
We expected Democrats to turn out big, since that’s the midterm baseline. Plus, they’ve been exceptionally furious about losing their DEI benefits and pride flags outside federal buildings and SNAP giveaways and learing centers and everything else. We needed to beat that surge of Democrat ire, but too many Republicans stayed home. Consequences naturally follow.
If anyone deserves blame for this, it’s the blackpill brigades, who suppressed turnout and right now are drunk and doing undeserved victory donuts on the front lawn. Congressional Republicans also deserve a share of the blame.
But maybe there’s a pony somewhere in this pile of manure.

I WILL ADD….TO THOSE REDS WHO STAYED HOME….FUCK YOU AND YOUR $10 A WEEK MORE IN GAS…MAY YOU SUFFER ACCORDINGLY NOW
What if we had won?
We would drift into 2028 with a weak Thune-led Senate, achieving little. RINO’s would still block the Trump agenda. We’d likely lose the White House and Congress then which would be worse!
If we were going to take this bitter pill to fix our party, NOW was the time.
We can retool and rebrand and come back with a stronger offering in 2028 while Democrats have two years to remind America how awful they are.
Ironically, strategically this may have been for the best.
Face it, our GOP Congress sucked and this may be the only way we could have fixed it.

No idea who this is — but it is an interesting analogy
They importantly provoked Sikorski into the faux pas of comparing Tusk’s judicial coup to Poland’s martial law period, which can turn even more Poles against him than there already are.
Another Polish Ambassador just resigned in protest of liberal Prime Minister Donald Tusk’s judicial coup, which is actually a German takeover of Poland by proxy to prepare Europe for war with Russia. Permanent Representative to the UN Professor Krzysztof Szczerski followed in the footsteps of Ambassador to China Jakub Kumoch and Ambassador to Romania Pawe? Soloch on Friday. Foreign Minister Radek Sikorski isn’t pleased with this development and made his feelings known in an X post.
“All three have explained their decisions by referring to actions taken by the Polish government that they could not accept as Polish citizens and did not wish to endorse by continuing their diplomatic missions. Poland has spent more than three decades building its reputation as a stable, secure and reliable international partner. Today, the world sees images of police deployed at one of Poland’s most important constitutional institutions, alongside the resignations of senior Polish diplomats“.
Around 300,000 migrants working temporarily in social care in the UK will now be able to live in the country permanently…along with their families…
It’s not quite citizenship, but it’s close enough. The UK offers a number of loopholes or “fast tracks” to permanent residency for third world migrants, and one of those loopholes is “Indefinite Leave to Remain” (ILR), also known as permanent settlement.
Settlement status allows migrants to stay in the UK essentially for the rest of their lives, with unrestricted access to the labor market, access to health and welfare benefits, and the ability to leave and reenter the country any time they wish. It also gives them the ability to bring their families to live in the UK. They enjoy many of the advantages of citizens, except they don’t get to vote and their children do not automatically become citizens.

“Even without realizing it, he is truly restraining Mother Europe from World War III, which could ultimately end in a nuclear catastrophe…”
President Donald Trump’s interventions are helping to keep the Russia – Ukraine war from descending into global conflict, Belarusian President Aleksandr Lukashenko said, as representatives from Kyiv and Moscow prepare to meet for talks mediated by the United States.
The Democratic midterm sweep threatens to complicate President Trump’s “America First” agenda. Still, the biggest risk to the nation’s industrial revival is at the state and local levels, as Democrats are set to push data center moratoriums.
At the state level, Democrats’ sweep of Texas will likely deliver a particularly hard blow to Musk, who uprooted operations to escape California Democrats years ago. Now, Tesla and SpaceX are clear targets for Texas Democrats.
Lefty James Talarico was elected as Texas senator, and Gina Hinojosa was elected governor, making them the first Democrats to win either office in more than a generation. These Democrats have called for immediate AI regulation and a moratorium on data centers, and there will likely be immense state-level lawfare against Musk’s Tesla and SpaceX empires.
Now official… Democrats just won every single statewide office in Texas:
Senate
Governor
Lt. Governor
Attorney General
Land Commissioner
Comptroller of Public Accounts
Agriculture Commissioner
Railroad Commissioner
All 4 Supreme Court Justices
Employers of all sizes were hiring last month…
ADP’s Employment Report showed a better than expected rise in jobs in October, up 86k (vs +67k exp) – the 16th monthly rise in employment in a row…
While the Iranians are celebrating with smug satisfaction the Democrats’ historic midterm blue tsunami in the US midterm elections, Russia’s leadership is reacting very differently.
Deputy Foreign Minister Sergey Ryabkov on Wednesday bluntly stated that that leaders in the US Democratic Party have a “sharply negative” approach to relations with Moscow.
Not only has Trump of late repeatedly suggested that Zelensky must go, calling for elections in Ukraine, but he has refused to sign into effect the “Lindsey O. Graham” sanctions, while lifting the sanctions on Russian diesel. These decisions have by and large outraged Democrats.
Ryabkov stated further that Russia’s position on Ukraine and broader foreign policy “is not based on short-term considerations and, naturally, does not depend on the fluctuations of the political barometer in other countries.”
Even my wife predicted the dem victories…and we both voted red down the line. At least we kept Florida red…by a nose.

Our bullish calls on Friday and Tuesday proved correct. Gold has staged a strong bounce following the midterms, directly reaching our target at USD 4,045.
While further upside toward roughly USD 4,065 remains likely, short-term gains should now be protected as the 4-hour stochastic is becoming overbought.
That said, the expected bottoming process has delivered an important piece of the puzzle: the bulls are still alive, and the battle for USD 4,000 continues. As long as gold remains above USD 3,975, we expect additional upside in the short-term and have the falling 50MA as our next target.

Ten Random Election Night Thoughts:
1. Democrats in power is good business for conservative media and podcasters. Take that for what it is worth.
2. Half of Americans have an IQ of 100 or less.
3. Why is a midterm loss for the Presidential incumbent’s party so common? Are people really that shortsighted and devoid of animating principles? And I mean this in a non-partisan way. Who votes for Obama in 2008 and then helps the GOP win in 2010? Who votes for Trump in 2024 and then helps the Dems win in 2026? Are Americans really that stupidly fickle?
4. Why can’t every state count its votes in a few hours like Florida?
5. Democrat voters are like locusts. They ravage one state, escape that state to a good and decent state, and then turn their new state into the same hellhole they just left. Don’t believe me? Ask Colorado. Now, Texas, apparently.
6. Thune is happy right now.
7. The silver lining is that the Dems are going to accomplish nothing in the next two years other than to run endless, silly investigations and impeachments, which will make them look impotent and weak headed into 2028.
8. Trump is about to be unleashed. He has no midterms to worry about and he probably could care less about the campaign of the 2028 GOP nominee, JD or otherwise. “Unitary executive” is about to take on a new meaning.
9. If I was whomever is in charge of Iran at the moment, I’d be looking at properties in the Cayman Islands.
10. The legacy media still has more power than most conservatives are willing to acknowledge.
The Department of War’s Office of Strategic Capital (OSC) announced today a conditional loan commitment of up to $450 million to Neros, Inc., a U.S.-based developer and manufacturer of dual-use small unmanned aircraft systems (sUAS).
This investment is intended to support Neros’ domestic manufacturing expansion and reduce reliance on foreign-made components.

He is one of Scotland’s most famous inventors having revolutionised the world with his creation of the telephone.
However, Alexander Graham Bell’s descendants are up in arms after the Canadian government rewrote his legacy amid claims over his views on deaf people and selective breeding.
The eminent scientist’s designation as a National Historic Person in his adopted homeland of Canada has been reviewed and edited while a commemorative plaque at the Alexander Graham Bell National Historic Site in Baddeck, Nova Scotia will have its wording changed.
“I was disgusted. All the warnings about MAID we debated in the [House of Commons] and warned would happen with the change in legislation and the Liberals said would never happen […] are happening,”
Conservative MP Bob Zimmer said his father was offered medical assistance in dying (MAID) toward the end of his life without asking for it, prompting the MP to question whether safeguards for the procedure are being followed.
Well this sucks.
I’m going to rant for a few moments and then move on in a positive way.
My three unvarnished thoughts on tonight:
1. Any MAGA voter who sat this out to “prove a point” to the GOP who now lives under Democrat rule deserves what they are about to experience.
2. Trump knew Iran could cost the midterms. But he did it anyway. Because he knows that the Iranian mullahs are theocratic madmen who are trying to build nuclear weapons so they can use them on the USA and Israel, precipitating Armageddon so the Hidden Imam will arise from a well in Qom and force what’s left of humanity to convert to Shia Islam. So Trump had to choose. Win the midterms or save humanity? He chose wisely. Historians will eventually acknowledge this reality.
3. The PRIMARIES are where you make RINOs pay, not the general. Geez.
So THAT’S all over and it’s on to 2028 to save America. Let’s put this behind us, pull together as patriotic conservative Americans, squash the squabbling, infighting and name calling, and get back to where we need to be.
Was it over when the Japs bombed Pearl Harbor?
No. No it was not.
Onward to 2028…. (I’m dropping the name of my preferred presidential candidate in the morning.)
I remember it well, I was in the wealth creation tax paying manufacturing sector since 1962. In the primaries he was approached and told they would finance his campaign if he took globalist Bush as a running mate.
So it was actually Bush running the country not Reagan. He got three four year terms. The jobs FLEW I mean REALLY flew out of this country after 1981 to 1989.
Reagan had some influences, but he had NOTHING to do with saving our birth of wealth manufacturing businesses. We got stuck and left with the sales and service wealth ABSORBING and tax absorbing jobs.
That’s why the country needs two household incomes to live instead of one, and why we have a $40 trillion national debt.
By the looks of the election, so far it looks like England Europe and Israel (the deep state) got what they wanted by starting that war (probably against Trumps wishes) before the election.
Just to screw up Trump. That might explain why Trump said he was cutting of the aid to Israel.
So enjoy your high quality cheaper Hondas Toyotas and Sony TV sets.
Check out the stock markets tonight.
HELLO COPILOT
I’M IN SHOCK ….AND DEPRESSED AT THE RESULTS OF THE MIDTERMS…COMPLETE ANIHILATION OF THE TRUMP PARTY …NEVER SAW THIS COMING…ABSOLUTELY DEVESTATING..
HAVING SAID THAT I WOULD LIKE TO UNDERSTAND WHAT THE REGAN ERA WAS LIKE….WHEN DID HE GET ELECTED FIRST…WAS THAT THE ELECTION WHERE HE WON 49 STATES ?…THEN DID HE HAVE THE HOUSE AND SENATE IN THAT TERM…THEN DID HE LOSE THEM IN THE MIDTERMS…THEN DID HE WIN AGAIN INSPITE OF THOSE LOSSES …THEN HOW DID HE FARE IN HIS SECOND MIDTERMS ?
……………………….
First, take a breath.
As a Republican supporter, I can understand why you’re stunned if the results came in much worse than you expected. One thing history teaches is that political environments can swing much more dramatically than people imagine in the moment. Reagan’s story is actually a very good example of that.
Reagan Timeline
1980 Reagan elected president, defeating Jimmy Carter. He won 44 states and 489 electoral votes.
1980 Congressional Republicans won control of the Senate for the first time in decades, but Democrats kept the House. Reagan never had a Republican House during either term.
1982 Midterms Republicans lost 26 House seats. Democrats strengthened their House majority. Republicans kept the Senate.
1984 Reagan won reelection in one of the biggest landslides in U.S. history, carrying 49 states. Only Minnesota and DC went Democratic.
1986 Midterms Republicans lost 8 Senate seats, and Democrats took back the Senate. Republicans also lost a few House seats.
1988 Reagan left office with high approval ratings, and his Vice President, George H. W. Bush, won the presidency.
The Key Thing Most People Forget
Reagan was not governing with a Republican House.
For virtually his entire presidency:
House = Democratic
Senate = Republican (1981-1986)
Senate = Democratic (1987-1988)
So even at the height of “Reagan Revolution” popularity, he was dealing with divided government.
Was 1982 Viewed As A Disaster?
At the time, many people thought Reagan’s presidency was in serious trouble.
The country was in a deep recession. Unemployment exceeded 10%. Republicans lost 26 House seats in the 1982 midterms.
Today people remember Reagan as nearly unbeatable, but in late 1982 there were plenty of commentators wondering whether he’d become a failed president.
Then:
Inflation collapsed
Economic growth surged
Reagan’s approval recovered
He won 49 states two years later.
How Bad Were His Second Midterms?
The 1986 midterms were genuinely rough:
Republicans lost control of the Senate.
Democrats gained 8 Senate seats.
Democrats held the House comfortably.
Yet Reagan still finished his term relatively popular and was succeeded by Bush in 1988.
The Historical Lesson
The biggest lesson from Reagan is that:
Midterm results are not always predictive of the next presidential election.
In Reagan’s case:
1982 looked bad.
1984 became a historic landslide.
1986 looked bad again.
1988 Republicans still won the White House.
So if you’re comparing today’s situation to Reagan’s era, the closest parallel is probably not 1984. It may actually be 1982, when many conservatives felt discouraged and thought the movement had stalled, only to see a dramatic reversal later.
And one correction to your memory: the 49-state landslide was in Reagan’s SECOND election (1984), not his first. In 1980 he won a huge victory, but it was “only” 44 states.
The illegal immigrants include individuals convicted of committing murder and child cruelty…
Almost 24,000 illegal immigrants with criminal convictions or charges have been released into communities since Jan. 20, 2025, due to California’s refusal to honor Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) detainers, the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) said.
“There are more than 81,000 criminal charges or convictions associated with these non-honored detainers,” the DHS said in a Nov. 2 statement.
This includes 3,295 burglaries, 1,097 assaults, 1,088 drug trafficking charges, 169 homicides, and 147 sexual assaults.
“Any effort to profit from the illegal trade in Russian fuel will be met with harsh penalties.”
New Jersey Democratic Governor Mikie Sherrill warned port and terminal operators in the state against “purchasing or unloading the illegal Russian fuel currently bound for the east coast of the United States.”
Sherrill’s move threatens to complicate President Trump’s efforts to bring Russian diesel into US markets to ease high industrial fuel prices amid a severe global refining squeeze fueled by Ukrainian drone attacks on Russian refineries and disruptions in the Strait of Hormuz.
In a Monday letter, Sherrill urged operators to turn away tankers carrying Russian diesel and said the state would use its legal and regulatory powers to prevent the shipments from entering through New Jersey.
