The Morning Report — 11/9 /26

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,
