The Morning Report — 11/10/25

ItsAJive.jpg

Good morning kids. Well, it certainly appears that the Schumer Shakedown Shutdown Shitshow has come to an end, after 40 days. Essentially Schemer and the Dems got nothing in return for passing what amounts to just another continuing resolution and the hardcore Maoists are blowing a gasket. Cue a very loud sad trombone

Whatever one thinks of polling, even before last Tuesday's horrendous election day results, polls had consistently indicated that Americans were blaming the Democrats for the perceived and in maybe a few instances real pain being felt by the government shutting down. So if their calculus was to use this as a weapon to beat up on Trump and the GOP in the run up to next year's midterms, perhaps Schumer felt it wise to just lick his wounds, fold up the tent and as Democrats always do, pray that the economy tanks and Americans suffer so they can ride that to victory next November and again in 2028 while discrediting the America First economic and political agenda.


This is what capitulation looks like, and the left knows it. The deal is simple. Schumer’s caucus agreed to advance a package of spending bills that will reopen the government and extend funding through January.

That’s it.

No sweeping policy concessions, no big wins tucked into the fine print, no “historic framework” or “moral victory.” Just a basic continuing resolution, dressed up with some boilerplate back pay for furloughed workers and funding for food assistance through next fall. In other words, exactly what Republicans had put on the table before the Democrats decided to make a scene.

This shutdown began because Schumer thought he could strongarm the GOP into extending Obamacare subsidies that were set to expire and repealing Medicaid reforms that closed a loophole handing out free healthcare to illegal immigrants. President Trump and Republican leaders had already said they planned to address those subsidies separately, aiming to rein them in and curb abuse. But Schumer wanted drama. He shut down the government over it, thinking Republicans would blink.
They didn’t.

After 40 days of a shutdown over a laundry list of demands, Democrats have nothing to show for it. Their only “win” is a vague promise of a future vote on Obamacare subsidies in December—a meaningless gesture that even they know is dead on arrival.


In the first year of Trump's second term, the economy is indeed improving. The direction upward on many fronts, from inflation to employment and other indices is unmistakeable. But of course as the estimable Victor Davis Hanson reminds us, it takes time for the average American to feel it and that gives the enemy time to lie and propagandize to their black heart's content, which they will do anyway.

The current economic indicators, at least those attributable to the 10-month Trump administration, are strong.

Fourth-quarter GDP is estimated to grow between 2.7 and 4 percent, the robust latter figure according to the Atlanta Federal Reserve Bank.

Inflation from June to August ranged from 2.7 to 2.9 percent, significantly lower than the 5 percent annual average during Biden’s 2021-2025 term. . .

. . . the recent off-year elections, albeit in blue states like California, New Jersey, New York, and Virginia, were decided mostly on perceptions of “affordability,” shorthand for the economy.

When independent voters heard little from Republican candidates about the good economic news or of the sharp contrast from the prior Democratic train wreck, they simply bought the left-wing line that the lack of “affordability” was due to the administration in power—that is, Trump.

Third, most of Trump’s key economic initiatives are long-term and will not be fully realized by the end of 2025 or in early to mid-2026.

That right there is key. The timing of when things will be felt is crucial. No doubt local and national Democrat Pols will do all they can to make their own constituents suffer so they can then blame the President and his party. Of course the media as is their wont and raison d'être will be to broadcast that message 25/8/366 all the way through 2026 and beyond.


Switching gears for a moment . . .

[Friday] marked the 108th anniversary since the Bolshevik Revolution, which took place on November 7th, 1917 (October 25th, according to the Julian Calendar). Rarely has a local event produced such a profound global effect as the October Revolution, which ultimately enslaved billions around the world and caused mass murder and famine at an unprecedented rate.. . . Today, over a century later, the results are dismal — over 100 million murdered globally and billions starved and deprived of opportunities for normal lives. What is even more insidious, perhaps, is that the ideology of the October Revolution infected and conquered the education, media, and culture of the self-doubting West.

Also, Yesterday marked the 60th anniversary of the great Northeast blackout that left millions in the region and parts of Canada without power for 13 hours, and which gave rise to the expression, Where Were You When the Lights Went Out?


The irony of the anniversaries of both those events is that they come within days of an election in NYC wherein the residents of NYC have chosen a Communist/Muslim jihadist to be their mayor. More chillingly are the indicators that more and more young people are openly espousing a desire for socialism and a forcible if not violent rejection of free-market capitalism and all of the social and human advancement that were engendered by it and could only have come about because of it.

The lament of then British Foreign Secretary Sir Edward Gray at the outset of the First World War comes to mind: "The lamps are going out all over Europe; We shall not see them lit again in our lifetime."

It remains to be seen if the miraculous victories of Donald Trump as well as the all too brief life and influence of the late Charlie Kirk are blips on an inevitable trajectory to decline and fall, or are harbingers of a great reawakening of American, Western and Judeo/Christian culture and the advancement of civilization and humanity.
