We already had the People’s Republic of New York, the People’s Republic of California, and all the rest. Now it appears we will have the People’s Republic of Texas, of South Carolina, of North Carolina and Georgia. Florida and a couple of others remain standing — but for how long? And if Democrats extend their victory in 2028, will they let these few remaining states practice any version of liberty?

The crazy totalitarian left now owns all of society and government, except for 2 more years in the White House. If you love your children and grandchildren, it’s really a sad thing. Because their lives are not going to be better than yours. In America, that’s a first.
But, heck — it’s not all bad. At least now we’ve got affordability. And Talarico.

The biggest danger to America isn’t Democrats (apparently) winning so many races. The biggest danger is that a majority seem to believe the two parties both want America and its freedoms to survive. That simply isn’t so. Based on words and deeds, the Democratic Party wants to abolish our Constitution. Granted, the Republicans could destroy us too, through bumbling and cowardice. But the Democrats openly want our freedoms to end. When they talk about America, they’re not talking about a land of liberty, or the home of the brave. They are talking about an imprisoned people with still enough nice stuff (for now) to delude them into believing we will stay free — and heck, everything will now be affordable! As if government could make anything affordable.

Going forward, the thing to watch will be how well this insanely fragile coalition between medieval Muslim barbarism and 21st Century woke Marxist socialism will hold. I just don’t see it happening. Let’s do what we can to get the Muslims and Communists to destroy each other. Our biggest problem is the lack of intelligence and emotional instability of a population who would vote in these radicalized Democrats. Can a nation with people this shallow and ignorant possibly survive?

Ayn Rand wrote, years ago, that a “mixed economy” — a hybrid of capitalism and socialism, like America — was a society in the process of committing suicide. If Democrat Communist psychopaths win U.S. Senate seats in Michigan, Texas, Ohio, Kansas and South Carolina (looking possible at this moment), then 2026 will be the year America put the gun to its head and pulled the trigger. Tragic. But honestly, given the mental and intellectual state of this country — not terribly surprising to me.

Remember: Democrats are all the things they claim Trump is, but isn’t. Given power, they will (like last time) do all the things they claim Trump will do, but never does. They will not let go of power ever again, once they regain it. No more befuddled Biden. This time around, we are talking well-funded, unblinkingly evil brutes and savages. Communists and Muslims have exterminated more innocent people than any groups in history. They have taken over the Democratic Party and joined forces not just to take down America, but Western civilization itself. Democratic voters — you have no clue how much you will miss Western civilization as it collapses before your eyes. You will learn the true meaning of woke, as in awake to a reality you never believed could happen.

Daily Signal)—Americans will soon learn what the Democrat agenda is really about, and it certainly isn’t about working with President Donald Trump to reduce the cost of living.

The blue tsunami came to be Tuesday night as a wave of Democrats took seats in the House and the Senate that seemed impossible not long ago. They will now have sizable majorities in both houses of Congress.

The big question is, what will they do with those majorities?

While Democrats may have ridden their message about “affordability” to a massive victory on Tuesday night, they don’t intend to limit their agenda to getting grocery bills down. Not that they were ever particularly good at that.

No, they fully intend to use their victory Tuesday night to dial up lawfare to 11.

The likely incoming House Oversight chairman, Robert Garcia, didn’t even wait for the night to be through before shouting his party’s intentions on X.

“Lawyer up,” he wrote.

LAWYER UP.

— Congressman Robert Garcia (@RepRobertGarcia) November 4, 2026

And of course, Sen. Elissa Slotkin, D-Mich., already announced before the election that she intends to target and prosecute members of the Trump administration to send a “deterrence message” to any future young Republican staffers that working for Democrat opponents could lead to jail time.

This is largely what their base wants. They want to wipe Trump, his supporters, and everything they stand for out of existence. They remain furious that what they thought would be a permanent political revolution was upended in 2024.

So, they aren’t looking to merely deliver left-wing ideas like single-payer health care or the end of fossil fuels or a slew of new taxes on the “rich.” Mere sideshows. No, what they want most is reprisals. They will work feverishly to ensure that when they take the executive branch in 2028, as they assume they will—maybe with a Democratic Socialists of America member leading the charge—they’ll have the chance to finally secure permanent power this time.

Just remember the words of Democrat political strategist James Carville back in April when he said Democrats should run the old bait-and-switch strategy.

“If the Democrats win the presidency and both houses of Congress, I think on Day One, they should make Puerto Rico [and] D.C. a state, and they should expand the Supreme Court to 13. F— it. Eat our dust,” he said.

That’s what’s coming. And it isn’t even strictly the far-left side of the Democratic Party that wants it. Reprisals and power are what bring the wings of their coalition together in loving kumbaya.

But make no mistake, the next iteration of the Democrat coalition will have a more robust hard-Left edge to it. Socialists now see their clearest path to dominance in Congress and the ultimate prize of the executive branch. They surely hope that the larger success of the Democratic Party will bring forward their larger agenda, as it has begun to in many of America’s largest cities.

What New York City Mayor Zohran Mamdani is doing in the Big Apple will seem tame compared to what they do if they seize national power. And we are arguably much closer to that possibility today than at any time in our history.

But that’s not a cause to simply despair.

Regardless of what no doubt many pundits will say in the coming days, the Trump administration has racked up some enormous victories in the last few years, even if those successes are a lot quieter than they should have been.

Don’t think that the Left’s political and activist classes don’t know about this and aren’t livid about it. Trump’s counterrevolution profoundly changed the trajectory of the federal government and our country.

Even with empowered majorities in Congress, the Left can’t reverse that. At least not yet.

The challenge will be for conservatives in the next few years to convince the American people that “woke 2” will be every bit as bad, or worse, than “woke 1.” It may not look exactly as it did under President Joe Biden, but you can bet they will again cook up horrors beyond your imagination. But this time, younger, more ruthless socialists will be leading the charge instead of just managing a feeble figurehead regime.

Still, a bigger disaster can be averted if we show Americans another way. We must demonstrate that the answers to the many problems we face today, both existential and mundane, can be solved without foolishly sliding into socialism, or worse.

Liberty Daily

WASHINGTON, D.C. — Boy, has King Trump got egg on his face this time. Seeing all of the people going to vote, he realized he forgot to cancel the election. What an idiot!

“Kings aren’t supposed to have elections. Doesn’t he know that? What a dummy,” said one peasant. “Well, time to vote against his interests, because he’s so dumb.”

Sources in the Royal White House confirmed the king is beside himself with grief, unsure why he let such an obvious challenge to his power proceed.

“Why am I so stupid? Don’t answer that!” said King Trump. “Believe me, this is not what I wanted. As king, I want to rule with an iron fist. No, my fist isn’t really made of iron. I wish it was. Iron Man, they could call me. No, Iron King! Because I’m a king. No, really, I am. I just forgot to cancel the election. Idiot!”

Advisors to the king have reportedly recommended silencing all dissent and closing all the polls immediately, but King Trump would not hear of it. “No, I’m kind of curious how this is going to play out,” the idiot king said. “Let the people choose for themselves whom they will serve.”

At publishing time, King Trump went to bed sobbing, knowing deep in his heart he would go down in history as the worst king America had ever had because he allowed the people to vote.

Independent journalist and filmmaker Nick Shirley dropped a 43-minute investigative documentary overnight on X that has already gone viral, exposing how the Biden administration’s handling of unaccompanied migrant children operated as the largest government-funded human trafficking ring in history. In the film, posted to his account, Shirley states that “Your tax dollars trafficked over 300,000 children across the United States while NGOs enriched themselves with millions of dollars,” detailing contracts in which one NGO alone received $895 million while others pulled in more than $100 million each.

Shirley notes that groups operating in places like Tucson, Arizona, pocketed large sums during the border surge but have seen the funding dry up since enforcement tightened under the Trump administration.

The video features accounts from former Border Patrol agents who observed children arriving with the same addresses written on their arms, flight attendants who regularly saw groups of five to ten kids loaded onto planes, and on-camera confrontations with NGO staff—including one woman who simply walks away when pressed about what happened to the children placed in the system.

Shirley said the project took months of filming across multiple states.

WATCH:

One NGO received $895 million to traffic children across the US. Others got $100+ million, and NGOs in areas like Tucson, Arizona pocketed millions but now receive nothing since the border shut down.

🚨 Inside the Largest Government Funded Human Trafficking Ring in History: Your tax dollars trafficked over 300,000 children across the United States while NGOs enriched themselves with millions of dollars.

In this video we break down the contracts, speak with former Border Patrol, and confront the NGOs. It’s a must watch, like it and share it. Make sure no one forgets the hundreds of children lost in the government’s hands.

The reasons behind these record crime reductions aren’t difficult to understand…

Most people who follow the news probably missed Monday’s announcement from the Bureau of Justice Statistics (BJS): Felony violent crime plunged 25 percent in 2025. Rape fell 13 percent, robbery dropped 27 percent, and aggravated assault declined 31 percent. Property crime fell 19 percent. Except for rape, these represent the largest one-year declines since the government began collecting these data 53 years ago.

That marks a dramatic reversal from the Biden administration, when felony violent crime soared by a record 59 percent and property crime rose 8 percent between 2021 and 2024.

Murders also plummeted. The U.S. recorded approximately 4.1 murders per 100,000 people in 2025, a record low, down from 5.1 in 2024. The murder rate has continued to fall. If the additional 18.4 percent decline shown in preliminary FBI data for the first seven months of 2026 holds for the full year, the murder rate would drop to approximately 3.36 per 100,000.

You might expect these unprecedented declines in violent and property crime and record low crime rates to dominate the news. Instead, most major media outlets ignored Monday’s announcement. While the New York Post and CBS covered the new data, the Associated Press, Reuters, CNN, NBC News, ABC News, the New York Times, and the Washington Post apparently didn’t consider the historic reductions newsworthy.

That lack of coverage is particularly surprising because new October polls show that voters still care about crime. A Pew Research Center poll found that 52 percent of registered voters consider violent crime a “very important” issue, while an AP-NORC survey found that 45 percent of adults identify immigration and crime as top issues.

The reasons behind these record crime reductions aren’t difficult to understand. FBI arrests soared 184 percent in 2025 compared with 2024, U.S. attorneys across the country stepped up criminal prosecutions, and the Trump administration federalized law enforcement in Washington, D.C., and Memphis. In D.C., the Biden administration’s U.S. attorney charged only about 33 percent of those arrested. Under Trump, that rate jumped to 96 percent.

Nor is it a coincidence that crime had record percent increases during the Biden administration as record numbers of illegal immigrants entered the country and is now plummeting as the Trump administration seals the border and deports illegal immigrants. The Department of Homeland Security says approximately 70 percent of illegal immigrants deported under the Trump administration had criminal convictions or pending criminal charges.

Even illegal immigrants who have committed crimes but haven’t been caught have an incentive to avoid deportation. By stopping their criminal activity, they can stay off the police radar and reduce their risk of being deported.

At the end of 2025, New York incarcerated 7,113 illegal immigrants, representing 14 percent of the state’s inmate population — at least 3.4 times their share of the state’s population.

But Democrats are promising to reverse these policies. Some Democrats, including New York congressional candidate Darializa Avila Chevalier, advocate abolishing prisons. Others, from Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez to Pete Buttigieg to Sen. Bernie Sanders, want to cut the prison population in half.

In Congress, 61 House Democrats voted against a resolution condemning calls to “defund the police.” Another 57 House Democrats support completely rescinding the ICE funding provided in last year’s One Big Beautiful Bill. House Democratic Leader Hakeem Jeffries has promised that if Democrats regain control of Congress, they will work to bring back illegal immigrants whom the Trump administration has already deported. Meanwhile, just 15 House Democrats were willing to sign a letter declaring, “We want safety, not lawlessness.”

Americans who thought the last two years’ government shutdowns were long — the 43-day shutdown in 2025 and the 76-day partial shutdown earlier this year — may face an even longer confrontation. Democrats’ push to defund ICE will almost certainly trigger a Trump veto, setting up a massive train wreck between two sides firmly entrenched in their positions.

Democrats claim to champion the poor and minorities, yet those are precisely the people who suffer most from crime. Criminals overwhelmingly victimize people in their own communities, often striking close to where they live. And the damage extends far beyond the immediate victims. Who loses their jobs when crime forces neighborhood stores to close? Who loses access to affordable shopping? Who owns homes whose property values are depressed because of the crime?

The divide between Democrats and Republicans over crime could hardly be sharper, and the elections next week will determine if these record drops in crime will continue. Republicans emphasize arrests, prosecutions, incarceration, and deportations, while Democrats increasingly advocate reducing incarceration and limiting traditional law enforcement and immigration enforcement.

John R. Lott, Jr., The Federalist

Well, well, well. Wouldn’t you know it?

After months of listening to political experts and the media tell Americans that Republicans were headed for an absolute bloodbath in the midterms, the New York Times has suddenly discovered something rather interesting.

Late-deciding voters are breaking toward Republicans by NINE POINTS in seven critical Senate races.

And this little revelation comes just as Americans are heading to the polls.

How convenient, right?

For much of this election cycle, the message coming from the polling world has been downright miserable for Republicans. Dems were supposedly surging, the GOP was in serious trouble, and one gloomy forecast after another painted a picture of a political disaster waiting to unfold.

But we’ve been watching this polling circus for a long time at Revolver, and we’ve become increasingly suspicious of the way these numbers are packaged and sold to the American public.

Because somewhere along the way, political polling started looking like a very powerful way to influence it.

Think about the impact of repeatedly telling people their guy is doomed. What does that do to enthusiasm, donations, and the overall mood surrounding an election?

It kills it.

And when those numbers come from prestigious polling institutions, they’re treated like the political Ten Commandments and blasted everywhere.

But as we get closer to the actual voting day, things sometimes start quietly changing.

Which brings us to this story.

The New York Times has released its final round of polling, and buried inside all those rather depressing numbers for Republicans is a development that’s getting a lot of attention.

Apparently, the people who’ve been making up their minds most recently are leaning Republican.

JUST IN: Late deciders are swinging Republican by +9 points – NYT

— Ames (@VivaLaAmes11) November 2, 2026

The Times partnered with Siena University to survey voters in seven highly competitive Senate races, including Michigan, Texas, Alaska, and Ohio.

These are some of the contests that could determine which party controls the Senate after Tuesday.

And while the overall results still paint a favorable picture for Dems, the researchers discovered something interesting when they examined voters who had just made up their minds in the past month.

That group was breaking toward Republican candidates.

In a big way.

Newsmax:

Republicans are winning over late-deciding voters by 9 percentage points in seven battleground Senate races, according to a new poll suggesting the GOP is gaining momentum ahead of Tuesday’s midterm elections.

The New York Times/Siena University survey, released Sunday, found that voters who made their choices within the past month favored Republican candidates, even as Democrats maintained leads in six of the seven contests.

“There are still some undecided voters, and voters who decided only in the last month favored Republicans by a nine-point margin,” the Times reported.

After all the dire predictions, there’s apparently a sizable group of voters making their decisions later in the game who aren’t following the gloomy Republican script we’ve been hearing about.

And that brings us to one of our biggest complaints about political polling.

In many cases, they’ve been weaponized. But this isn’t something new, is it? Who can forget this doozy from the New York Times back in 2016:

.

And that’s really the problem with the polling culture we’ve created.

People are being told to treat these polls as gospel. As if they’re telling us what’s going to happen, not what a very particular group of respondents told a very particular group of researchers at a very particular moment.

And once the media starts building a political narrative around the numbers, the narrative quickly becomes bigger than the poll.

And we all remember the 2016 presidential election, when virtually every important person in the political and media world was convinced Hillary Clinton was about to become America’s first female president.

The over-confidence was actually weird and scary.

And the New York Times was right there, publishing its presidential forecast with an eye-popping probability of victory for Clinton.

Why even bother to vote, guys. Hillary had this one in the bag, according to every poll on planet earth.

Three weeks later, Donald Trump was elected president.

Even so, Americans spent that election season being told the outcome was a foregone conclusion delivered from Mount Sinai.

And after most of the polls were proven wrong, we were told that it was some kind of fluke error that had to do with cell phones and landlines, and it’d be fixed.

Tech Psych:

First of all, the polling agencies do not and probably cannot sample a representative sample. They typically poll those who have landline, as opposed to cellular, telephone service. This skews to older people, as many if not most young adults do not have landlines. However, if they poll only those who have cell phones, this will skew to younger people, and older voters will be lost. The same is true with Survey Monkey polls, as this will skew to younger voters because younger people are more comfortable with computers than older people. This method also skews to more urban and suburban people and away from rural people.

Second, not only are any of these methods questionable, there is also the problem of who answers the poll. For example, I have a landline, but I never answer it unless it is from someone I know. If it is a pollster, I will not answer it. So what kind of people answer a pollster? We don’t know, and we don’t know how representative these people are. Secondarily, pollsters call multiple people at once, and when one person answers the phone, all of the other calls are dropped, so again, what kind of people are answering the poll, and how representative are they?

But was polling ever really broken, or is this exactly what it’s always been? A political weapon, largely wielded by the left, to undermine Republican candidates, dry up their fundraising, and convince voters there’s no point in showing up because the election is already lost?

Something to think about.

We’ll see how things shake out on Tuesday, and something tells us we’ll have plenty to talk about afterward, from the polls and vote counting to surprise upsets and voter turnout.

In the meantime, whatever else you’ve got going on today, make sure you get out there and cast your vote.

Revolver News

Last week, authorities received a warning from the Military Intelligence Service, as well as allied services, that diversionary actions could take place on the border with Russia – including border violations by armed groups.

The police secure the royal region for possible events that could lead to acts of diversion – says RMF FM Marek Boroń. Therefore, reinforcements from police commands from several voivodships [jurisdictions: comparable to a county] came to the borderland. This is due to the information we also have from external services. We are to take care of the safety of the citizens who live there, but also of outposts and all kinds of situations that can be a threat to society – he adds.

There is a large group of police officers operating there, some of the police forces have been transferred there, also in this operation there are counter-terrorists, we cooperate with the army, border guards and special services – adds the chief police officer.

Greenland’s parliament on Tuesday ratified the Arctic island’s security agreement struck earlier this year with U.S. President Donald Trump, although some opposition party members questioned the deal’s economic value.

The United States, Denmark and Greenland in September signed the agreement, aimed at ending tensions after Trump’s repeated threats to take control of the strategically located and mineral-rich island, a self-governing Danish territory.

The deal expands the U.S. military’s role in Greenland, paving the way for two new military bases and Trump’s “Golden Dome” missile defense system, while reaffirming Danish sovereignty and Greenlanders’ right to self-determination.

A majority of lawmakers had already signalled support for the deal in a first debate last month.

Tuesday’s vote was 16 in favour and none against, with 7 abstentions.

The White House in January said Trump was discussing options for acquiring Greenland, including potential use of the US military, alarming governments in Europe and triggering intense diplomatic efforts to calm the situation.

Greenlandic Foreign Minister Mute Egede said on Tuesday that ratification of the deal was an important step for the island.

“We must accept that peace and stability are no longer something we can take for granted,” Egede told lawmakers in Nuuk shortly before the vote.

Opposition party Naleraq, the most prominent political voice for Greenland’s independence, questioned the deal’s economic value during the debate.

“We are looking for a better agreement that we can benefit from when we become an independent state. But no economic benefit has been gained from the agreement,” Naleraq chair Pele Broberg said.

The Danish parliament is due to give the bill a first reading on November 11, followed by a second reading and a vote on November 19.

The executive agreement will enter into force once Denmark and Greenland have ratified it, and does not require approval from the U.S. Senate.

I’m just repeating what is posted daily of FR. According to the polls (as biased as they are!) America will shift either gradually or dramatically to the left today. I have some uninformed ideas about this move leftward. Here are some of the positions the majority of the democratic party are espousing and are endorsed by at least 50% of the electorate. 1. Socialism is far superior to capitalism and we need to tax wealthy people to equalize poverty. 2. There are at least 62 genders and it is impossible to define a biological female or male. 3. Democrats believe in love and tolerance but are okay with the asassination of Charlie Kirk. 4. Israel, the only democracy in the Mideast, is inherently evil unlike Hamas, Hezbullah, and the Houthis. 5. Iran and the IRGC are good people and are building atomic weapons for their own protection. God approves and tolerates same sex marriage, transgenderism, and any form of immorality. 6. Donald Trump is so evil that anyone who works for him should be doxxed, fired, or harassed. 7. Our borders should be open to all people, especially jihadists who want to destroy our country. 8. Christians are homophobic and transphobic because they put their trust in the God of the Bible. 9. Our founding fathers were all white supremacists 10. The Constitution is a “living document” that you don’t have to follow. 11. The Supreme Court needs to be expanded so more leftist decisions can be made. 12. Police are evil and must be defunded. 13. Globalism is the answer to everything. All national borders, currencies, etc. must be destroyed to usher in a new world order. 14. Government schools should continue to indoctrinate our young people into communism. Just some more of my “old fart” rants. Seriously today we should all pray for our great nation that the forces of evil and tyranny can be turned back.

British troops could fire on Russian forces if they come under attack in Ukraine while operating as peacekeepers, Western officials have said.

Western troops deployed to Ukraine could return fire in self-defence if confronted by Moscow’s forces, though any such threat would more likely come from drones than direct gunfire.

This is because any such peacekeeping mission would only enter the country after Russia’s war in Ukraine had ended and peace had been established.

As a result, British troops would be unlikely to come into direct contact with Russian forces, with any threat more likely to come from long-range drone attacks.

With peace established, the force named the Multinational Force Ukraine (MNF-U) would then be welcomed into the country under Ukraine’s invitation.

It comes as 300 soldiers from the British Army’s 7 Brigade are set to deploy to Poland this month to rehearse how they could one day support Ukraine if and when the war ends.

Meanwhile, as diplomatic efforts to end the war gather pace, the Kremlin confirmed today that Russia will hold three-way peace talks with Ukraine and the United States this month.

The drill is the first of its kind for the MNF-U, which is led by the UK and France and is the military arm of the Coalition of the Willing group of nations.
