"Just a Few Thoughts" on Yesterday's Disastrous Midterm Election

The thoughts below is my thoughts alone, and do not necessarily represent the views of blogspot.or google.com  

[[[ As I reflect back to what was yesterdays Republican "political bloodbath," these five key points come to mind.  

 

First: We Republicans now having officially lost both the House and the Senate really need to "grow a set" and start taking responsibility for our actions, while "getting off our knees" if we are to have any chance of winning the presidency in 2028...and that includes NO JD Vance on the ticket.

   

Second: Trump and his misplaced crew of advisors crew of advisors wanted to make the midterm election all about him…he did the rallies…he was constantly on TV…he thought his overinflated theatrical ego could help convince people to vote Republican. He failed miserably what with his misplaced "I, I, I, it's all about me" crude and unpolished persona; his lack of any true oratory skills; his overall self-perceived "I'm smarter than you demeanor;" his promises made NOT kept regarding both the economy and the Iran War; that actually caused Republicans to lose it all!!

 

And I couldn’t wait to hear his excuses for this absolutely horrendous loss…as I knew he'd find a way to blame said loss on everyone but himself, which as expected he did.

 

Third: We know Reagan inherited a bad economy from Jimmy Carter and yet he was able to turn things around. Trump inherited a bad economy from Joe Biden nobody is denying that, but what Trump did with his misguided overinflated tariffs and turning the Iran war away from Iran’s nuclear ambitions to a war over control of Hormuz and oil forced the voters pocketbooks to do their voting for them. Sad fact indeed.

 

Fourth: Another loser last night that people seem to have forgotten about is the Supreme Court, as the Democrats will either stack the court to put more Democrat members on it or we might actually see some Republican justices retiring thus leaving their seats open, but that no matter who Trump nominates they will be turned down. 

 

Many folks did not stop to think about all the possible ramifications of the Democrats gaining what is absolute power before they cast their votes. And remember, Trump‘s promise to "veto" all that Democrats propose can only go so far because it now looks like it’s even possible that Democrats can  reach the 60 votes needed to negative any of Trump's vetoes. 

Fifth: Here's something few think about, but it does affect a great number of savvy people..as in today the "stock market" is going through the roof!

 

Why so...because now "the market" finally has their own version of a must needed system of "checks and balances" in place...similar to that of the House and the Senate...as "the market" had continued not to respond well to Trump's ad-nauseam, "one day we’re doing this, the next day we’re doing that" scenario. In other words, Trump is NOT making any rational, tangible or reality based decisions in regards to what's happening on the international stage, and especially in regards to the Iran War. 

 

Trump himself via his in-actions literally made "the market" quite "unstable," and now with his loss of total governmental control...Trump's aforementioned "veto power" can only go so far with "the market" responding positively to the election decision made last night because the totality and finality of it will actually stabilize "the market."

 

How so...by what's called a "clarity of projections" coupled with governing decisions finally being made one way or the other, thus resulting in what the "stock market" views as a "cleansing event" for both investors and speculators.

 

At least for some lucky folks a modicum of good has come out of what was a total "Blue Wave" caused Republican political disaster...enough said, case closed. ]]]

JD Vance blames Iran war and Israel for GOP midterm bloodbath

Ryan King / NEW YORK POST

WASHINGTON — Vice President JD Vance blamed the war in Iran for Tuesday’s GOP electoral bloodbath, a sharp departure from his own remarks about the conflict and the closest Vance has come to criticizing President Trump as his second-in-command.

Vance, believed to be the top contender for the 2028 Republican presidential nomination, decried the GOP “establishment” and nudged Republicans to reconsider their support of Israel in his first public midterm post-mortem.

“In the next few months, there’s going to be a lot of gaslighting. Expect to hear any number of establishment politicians say the solution to our woes is amnesty,” Vance posted on X.

“But anyone pushing amnesty is lying to you. The reason we lost is the war,” he added. “The president himself said so last night. If you’d like to argue it was worth it, that losing the Senate for the next 6 years was worth it, then do so.” Read more, see Xx, and photos here.

Decision day is here.

Americans are taking to the polls Tuesday to cast their ballots in the high-stakes midterm elections that will determine whether Republicans retain control of both houses of Congress or lose the majority to Democrats, as the left grows ever more socialist by the day.

The Post is on the ground in New York — where control of Congress hinges on four key, high-profile battleground seats in the few remaining swing districts — and Michigan, where Dem infighting boiled over in the days before the election as Israel-hating Senate hopeful Abdul El-Sayed aims to win the left’s only vulnerable Senate seat in the midterm, making it critical for the party’s plans to flip the upper chamber. 

Watch this space throughout Election Day and Night, as we bring you the latest news and results from key Senate, House and governor races across the US to determine whether Republicans will maintain control of Congress. See LIVE coverage here.

Trump reveals he’ll use preemptive pardons to protect staff, allies if Dems take Congress

Thomas English / NEW YORK POST 

President Trump revealed he’s willing to issue sweeping preemptive pardons to everyone who worked in his administration if Democrats follow through on threats to prosecute them.

“I would if I needed to. Sure,” Trump told The Post’s Miranda Devine in a “Pod Force One” interview.

Asked whether that applied to everyone who’d worked for him, the president reaffirmed. “I’d do it,” he said. “I did it for J6.”

He pointed to former President Joe Biden, who used his final hours in the Oval Office to pardon Dr. Anthony Fauci, Gen. Mark Milley, the members and staff on the House Jan. 6 committee and a handful of his own relatives — including his troubled son Hunter.

“That’s what Biden did. He gave everybody a pardon,” Trump said.

He dismissed the Jan. 6 panel as “the unselect committee” and “a corrupt committee.”

Last month, Sen. Elissa Slotkin’s (D-Mich.) said at a University of Chicago event that a Democratic majority should prosecute “signature cases” against “the people who enable” Trump. Read more, see video, and photos here.

Just a Thought

The thought below is my thought alone, and does not necessarily represent the views of blogspot.or google.com  

[[[ Well, well, isn't this interesting...it now seems that while President Trump was busy trying to make deals with the Iranian terrorist regime while also focusing on his Strait of Hormuz blockade, Iran was busy circumnavigating said blockade as well as the sanctions imposed, and doing so right under Trump's and our noses. How so...Iran has, and has had for quite some time, a “hidden network of military agencies” who were and are still able to smuggle military hardware and equipment past the blockade.

 

How so...Iran was able to create a secret network of military agencies with global reach, thus they were able to import at least $2 billion in hardware, explosives and heavy-duty trucks since January 2025 alone. In other words, Iran has been able to replenish their military arsenal while still pretending to be willing to entertain diplomacy as a means by which to end this war.

 

Simply put, Iran remains not only well stocked to keep fighting, something some of us...me included...have said since day one...but the fact is Iran has “out-Trumped Trump,” and it's courtesy of said military supplies “point of origin” being not only Russia and China,..not unexpectedly...but our ally Germany as well..

 

But if you don't believe what I've just said here's the proof, just click on this link: https://www.jpost.com/middle-east/iran-news/article-913481 and read it for yourself. And if you still think after reading this article/report that Trump didn't know at least some of this, but willingly chose to ignore it, and also that he still knows how to win this war, then you must be a charter member of the “Trump can do no wrong brigade.” No need to say anything more. ]]]
