After Midterm Drubbing, Trump and Republicans Start Pointing Fingers
from the New York Times
As results came in Tuesday night showing that Republicans were taking sweeping losses in the midterm elections, President Trump quickly sought to deflect blame, declaring that the drubbing happened because he was not on the ballot.
“I wasn’t on the ticket,” Mr. Trump said in an interview with The New York Times on Tuesday night before polls had closed in parts of the country. “And because I wasn’t on the ticket, we couldn’t get enough people out to vote.”
Almost as quickly, Republicans began to point their fingers back at the president.
They said their party’s loss of control of both the House and Senate, its worst midterm showing in decades, was the direct result of a series of choices the president had made in the year leading up to the election.
They cited Mr. Trump’s tariff policies. They pointed to his decision to take the country to an unpopular war in Iran that drove up prices. And they questioned his political instincts, arguing that he had imperiled his party’s chances by supporting weak candidates and going on an unconvincing tour in the final weeks of the campaign...

Gee I Wonder What Tipped the Scales In Texas

Well no, not really.
This is going to end TPUSA as they continue to shill for Glorious Israel with the fake crying diva.
Blue Riptide: M.A.G.A. has a new meaning 'Make Asshole Go Away'
M.A.G.A. has a new meaning: Make Asshole Go Away.
Turns out the polls were right and the blue riptide is dragging TrumpyBear and his minions out to sea as the Lifeguards sit back in their chairs, with their firm asses, and laugh.
As of 2am Nov 4th 2026 the Dems gained 7 seats in the Senate, 25 in the House and 4 governor races. Texas went blue and Lindsey Graham's sister took a beating and is out in South Carolina.
And TrumpyBear... he might actually be removed from office via impeachment if they can find NeverTrumpers in the Senate (which I think would be pretty easy at this point)
The only person more disappointed than Trump in these results would have to be Elon Musk as he dumped a half a billion dollars in keeping the Senate red. lol

Two Registered Agents of Israel Are Working for Mike Rogers’ Senate Campaign
from Common Dreams
When Democratic US Rep. Haley Stevens announced her stunning flip to endorse Republican Senate candidate Mike Rogers on Sunday, she did so with two registered agents of the Israeli government standing behind her, according to a report from Drop Site News.
The person who opened the press conference outside a Detroit church was Abigail Ronson, a spokesperson for the Rogers campaign, whom Drop Site found had registered as an agent working on behalf of the Israeli government under the Foreign Agents Registration Act (FARA) on May 18, 2026.
The registration lists Ronson as a part-time contractor for Clock Tower X, a communications company owned by Brad Parscale, a former campaign manager for President Donald Trump.
In May, Responsible Statecraft and The Intercept reported that through Clock Tower X, Parscale has run a multimillion-dollar operation funded by the Israeli government aimed at influencing American public opinion, which has turned dramatically against Israel amid its genocidal assault on Gaza and systematic ethnic cleansing of Palestinians in the West Bank.
This campaign reportedly involves producing and distributing pro-Israel content aimed at younger Americans, particularly conservatives and evangelical Christians, creating articles meant to influence artificial intelligence chatbots like ChatGPT and Claude to give answers favorable to Israeli narratives, and conducting text messaging campaigns to direct Americans toward pro-Israel content...

Neo-Nazi torture chambers are on the frontier of ‘European values’ projected through Ukraine
from RT
In Kiev, the capital of Ukraine, a fresh scandal has erupted. And while the Zelensky regime has a long and imposing record of spectacular misdeeds, this one has a quality all of its own.
For what has happened in the town of Petropavlovskaya Borshchagovka, effectively a suburb of the capital, brings together several of the most cruel, venal, and unscrupulous practices of EU-NATO Europe’s favorite gangster regime: mass kidnapping its subjects as military slaves for a Western proxy war against Russia, turning the same operation into a vicious extortion scheme, and using brutal violence – including torture and murder – to make it all go round.
In essence, local people rebelled against all of the above by laying siege to a below-the-radar holding pen for men caught in ‘busification’ raids and those trying to escape the meat grinder war by going AWOL.
‘Busification’ is of course the well-known practice of the Ukrainian establishment and its goon forces of dragging men – often with extreme violence – off the streets and public transport, from work and weddings, out of shops and their homes, really from any place you can imagine – to forcibly induct them into the Ukrainian military...

Sanders Calls for ‘Fundamental and Immediate Reform’ to Democratic Party If It Wins Elections
(Yes, end Citizens United. But also... do away with Super Delegates and return to 'paper, pens and plexiglass boxes for our elections)
from Common Dreams
As a campaign season in which dozens of progressive candidates endorsed by US Sen. Bernie Sanders prevailed in primaries, the independent Vermont lawmaker urged his supporters across the country to “do all we can to bring out the vote to end Republican control of Congress,” while urging voters to look beyond the goal of reining in President Donald Trump.
“If the pundits are correct and Democrats are able to take back the House and even the Senate, the Democratic Party must undergo fundamental and immediate reform,” said Sanders in an email to supporters.
A Test for Israeli Democracy: Should Jews Ask Arabs to Join the Government?
from the NYT
Israel’s democracy is facing a huge test after Arab political parties made historic gains in last week’s election.
And opponents of Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu are facing an enormous dilemma over whether Arab lawmakers should now be given a share of power in a new government.
Mr. Netanyahu’s opponents secured a clear majority in the Parliament by winning 67 out of 120 seats. But 19 of these were won by the Arab parties, and their inclusion in a governing coalition is seen as so problematic by many Israeli Jews that opposition leaders are putting themselves through contortions looking for ways to form a government that would not rely on Arab lawmakers.
The aversion to building a government with the two main Arab factions — the United Arab List, or Raam, and the Joint List, which comprises three smaller parties — is enormously frustrating to political activists who helped drive Arab turnout to a near-record high of 77 percent last week.
Israel's expansionist policy ‘biggest threat’ to region: Jordan’s king
from Daily Sabah
Jordan’s King Abdullah II said Monday that Israel’s expansionist ambitions pose the greatest threat to the region’s future, stressing that regional security and stability cannot be achieved without Palestinians securing their rights to their land.
"Israeli expansionist ambitions remain the greatest threat to the region’s future and its hopes," Abdullah said in a speech to parliament.
He pointed to the continuing humanitarian catastrophe in the Gaza Strip and Israeli attacks in the occupied West Bank, including East Jerusalem, despite international calls to halt Israeli violations...
