ELECTION 2026 REPORT: THE SEASON OF AMOS

By Staff

“Woe to those who are at ease in Zion, and to those who feel secure on the mountain of Samaria, the notable men of the first of the nations, to whom the house of Israel comes!

“Pass over to Calneh, and see, and from there go to Hamath the great; then go down to Gath of the Philistines. Are you better than these kingdoms? Or is their territory greater than your territory,

“O you who put far away the day of disaster and bring near the seat of violence?

“Woe to those who lie on beds of ivory and stretch themselves out on their couches, and eat lambs from the flock and calves from the midst of the stall,

“who sing idle songs to the sound of the harp and like David invent for themselves instruments of music,

“who drink wine in bowls and anoint themselves with the finest oils, but are not grieved over the ruin of Joseph!

“Therefore they shall now be the first of those who go into exile, and the revelry of those who stretch themselves out shall pass away.” – Amos 6:1-7

EXECUTIVE SUMMARY

This report is intended to give you, the reader, information to make an informed decision both on who to vote for and whether or not you should vote at all. It is also intended to be an historical document to show the conditions that allowed the results of this election to happen.

Be sure to read our Final Thought on page xx for closing remarks from both the Publisher and the Editor on the midterm elections.

It will either be a document preserving the methods the Democrats used to put open insurrectionists in Federal office, or a roadmap for how to beat back attempts by future insurrectionists to coopt our election system to their own treasonous ends.

We start off our report with an analysis of the major issues in this election cycle, then document that election laws at play in this election. We also analyze the major ballot initiatives in this midterm election.

In the second part, we cover the bellwether races of the House and Senate that we believe will telegraph where the rest of the electorate will go.

What we cannot document is the degree to which efforts by the DOJ to impede Democratic Party opportunities to manufacture votes will be effective, nor the degree to which electronic voting corruption will factor into this race.

The outcome of this election, should the Democrats win, might or might not be the actual will of the “American people.” If it is truly their “will,” then true Americans are a minority in our own land.

We end our report with a Predictive Analysis of the election cycle. This report has been divided into two parts. The first part covers the Issues, Election Laws, and Ballot Initiatives, the second part covers the Senate and House bellwether races. It ends with a Predictive Analysis. The second part of the report starts on pg. xx.

A. ISSUES

While there are variations in the U.S. House races, the voters’ issues in the 2026 Midterm elections have little to nothing to do with the nature of Rule of law in our country. Instead, the issues are dominated by material self-need or anti-Trumpism.

It is only in a few House and Senate Races that one candidate (always a Republican) is making an Americanism versus Progressivism and traditional culture versus progressive culture argument.

The anti-Trumpers want you to believe the GOP, like Trump, wants to re-enslave black people and return the white race to supreme power. This is not hyperbole; this is their base operating system’s core belief that everything else is built on.

If you could clearly disprove the myth of the white devil, their whole justification for violence as a means of political persuasion ends, for now they are not attacking devils, they are attacking innocent Americans.

This group is not only decidedly going to vote Democrat; they are the heart of the power that gave Democratic Socialists favorable chances to become U.S. Senators. This is the target audience for agit prop operations like “The View,” which regularly pitched the “Trump will enslave black people” narrative on their show leading up to the 2024 election.

At the top of almost every race is “affordability,” which is a narrative that has real truth behind it. President Trump came in boasting about how the economy would be booming under his administration, but that has not been the case.

He has brought tremendous amounts of investment dollars from outside America that have yet to bear fruit, but that factory infrastructure boom may collide with AI’s looming debt crisis.

One of the major impediments to a booming economy is the war in Iran, which is the second biggest issue in the campaign season. We believe President Trump was emboldened by the success of Venezuela, when he “arrested” Maduro and dramatically switched Venezuela from a Chinese asset to an American oil resource. We believe he thought they could remove the Iranian regime in one fell swoop.

Had the Iranian regime crumbled when all of its leaders were killed, twice over, the world would be a very different place right now, and the economy might very well be booming. But the regime didn’t fall. The constant promises of a quick end to the war ring a symphony of broken glass for every promise broken.

As we have documented in the past, the President never explained to the American people what the war was about: China and the AI War. We believe he still feels he must not make the war clearly about China for fear that either China might have the muscle to interfere or he doesn’t want to lose negotiating power. It is also possible his coalition doesn’t want to lose access to China’s resources, its billion-plus-people market.

The third biggest issue is, essentially, Trump. How it is polled versus what is behind that sentiment, we believe, are two different things. The polling cites Trump’s policies on tariffs, trade, and immigration. We suspect it is really “Trump is a Nazi and so are the Republicans” that is driving most of what we are calling the “Trump issues” people, and that lie is perpetuated every day in the progressive state press, from CNN to the Washington Post.

This group is the one willing to cheat, willing to set businesses on fire, and some are willing to kill. The Charlie Kirk assassin fits in this category. They believe they are fighting a force that intends to kill them and all their friends. This is not hyperbole; this is the psychosis that has been created by our media, our schools, and our politicians, especially (but not exclusively) the Democrats.

Abortion is next on our list. There are many women in this country who will vote for the Democrats merely to preserve the right to murder the consequence of casual sex. A smaller percentage of men will do the same. In America, 1 in 4 women have murdered one or more of their unborn children. 1 in 5 men have supported and/or funded the murdering of one or more of their unborn children.

Were America to ever turn its moral back on abortion, there are millions of people who will find themselves potentially judged socially as a murderer. There is a very real reason they would support a party willing to lock up dissenters to unborn child murder.

It is not the “right” to murder unborn children that makes abortionists violent seditionists against the republic, it is fear of consequence, for they all know in their hearts they chose murder for “ease.”

There is a very real reason corporate media will not do in-depth investigations into what abortion really looks like, both in the abortion centers and in what happens to women psychologically afterwards.

A lot of these abortion-supporting women and men find it very easy to adapt the white devil narrative, for the ones pitching the lie are also guaranteeing prosecution of anti-abortionists. Their white devil lie allows them to tell these women and men that being against abortion is just a dog whistle for white supremacism. The murderers get to morally condemn those against their murderous practices.

Forcing a woman to give birth against her will is how the white devil keeps the rest of the world down. This is not hyperbole. Such violent and dangerous nonsense is said regularly in Ivy League classrooms, by the students AND their professors. They give permission to their extremist progressive street fighters to murder the anti-abortionist infidels.

Healthcare and local economic interests round out the bulk of our main voters’ issues for the midterm elections.

What’s missing from this list is the Epstein Files, though I believe that it’s still in here, behind the scenes. President Trump’s reaction to the Epstein Files was the beginning of the end of his domestic policy magic. He became just another politician after that exchange.

His unwillingness to tell the American people what the Iran War is really about has left the Israel conspiracy theorists, almost all of them the REAL far right or progressives (or, to a lesser extent, the Orthodox and the Catholics, both of which have eschatology that lack a state of Israel), to gain social power at heights they’ve never had before. Hating Israel as the great Satan has gone mainstream.

The President’s reaction to the real concerns about Data Centers might be the final undoing of his Domestic policy magic. He no longer sounds like a fresh voice challenging an ossified system. He sounds like a stale voice pushing a new system on people without bothering to candidly explain what it is, a machine to challenge China’s AI power. The nation that wins the AI War wins the world, or so he might think (and he might just be right).

Meanwhile, the real issue in this election is the nature of rule of law in this land. The people gaining ascendancy are openly calling to dismantle the republic and begin using the state to pick winners and losers in the culture war.

The rule of law in the land will no longer be rooted in individual liberty; it will be rooted in class status, with the “weak”, the “disenfranchised,” enjoying special truth-telling powers that gatekeeps the halls of power to ensure the “majority” are on the outside looking in.

The full acceptance of abortion by most “Americans” has been the fundamental killer of the shared assumption of “endowed by our creator with inalienable rights.” The traitors of the 1973 Roe v Wade ruling chose the dismantling of America’s uniting principle and justification for American Rule of Law as a means to prevent the state from becoming womb watchers.

With the declaration that, de facto, a human is only one who is first born, then viable, the state assumed the power of God to define human life. This is a religious assertion, not a neutral, secular one, and it contradicts basic logic and science

It also cultivates a heuristic within the abortionist that gives them permission to sub-humanize problem humans, like the unborn who interfere with the parents’ ease. Endowed by our creator with inalienable rights and murdering the unborn for the sake of ease cannot coexist in the same spirit.

These issues are being talked about, hyperbolically, by shock and awe non-progressive influencers who mostly push the myth that the progressives are about to be destroyed for good. A few go in the other direction, promising the end of all things, but still offering a glimmer of hope it can all still be saved.

On the street, in the places where packs of most people gather, Tim Poole and Langly Outdoors are unknown voices that never cross their feeds. What shows up in most Americans’ feeds are the news aggregations of the corporate press, with non-progressive voices almost completely frozen out. They allow a handful of non-progressive outlets to show up in these feeds. Breitbart is one of the few “favored” allowed in.

These feeds are filled with white devil lies and Israel demon myths. To be sure, the hyperbolic emotional shock and awe tone is almost matched by the non-progressives, but their voice is a niche rowboat in the progressive-dominated sea.

The narratives that should be told are drowned out by Trump Nazis, White Devils, Zionist Ghosts, real economic pain, and the desire to use abortion as birth control. We are not debating whether anyone still wants a republic based on the creator endowing us with the right to life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness; we are debating material well-being and the great white Satan manifest in Trump, nothing more.

In our bellwether races, we will cover the issues in that race, where you will see some variations from this list.

B. ELECTION LAWS

Thanks to the Supreme Court upholding Mass Mailer Elections, Democrats have at least a 2-3% advantage in any race where their people are counting the mail-in ballots. It is difficult to track the advantage they might have thanks to alterable “electronic voting.”

Eight states will have all-mail voting, along with the District of Columbia. The eight states are California, Colorado, Hawaii, Nevada, Oregon, Utah, and Vermont.

All-mail voting means every registered voter gets a Mail-in Ballot.

29 more states allow no-excuse mail-in ballot voting. Only 13 states require excuse-based mail-in ballot voting. These states are Alabama, Arkansas, Delaware, Indiana, Kentucky, Louisiana, Mississippi, Missouri, New Hampshire, South Carolina, Tennessee, Texas, and West Virginia.

Mail-in ballots are expected to account for at least 25% of the vote in this upcoming election. Nearly 1/3 of the 2024 election votes were cast by mail-in, so a downward trend is encouraging, though it should account for no more than 10% of the vote if it were limited to only excuse-based absentee ballots (what we are calling mail-in ballots to emphasize exactly what kind of votes these really are).

While some mail-in voting is necessary, the more mail-in ballots as a percentage of the vote there are, the more opportunities there are to nudge the numbers in the party’s favor. Our election report from July of this year shows how that is possible. Uncleared election rolls that allow the mass production of fake ballots are one way mail-in ballot voting enables cheating.

You can see how hard progressives, including their seditious judges, work to protect these voter rolls from purges of the dead and non-citizens. They know full well the power their party, their real country, would lose should the voter rolls be cleaned up.

There have been no significant changes to electronic voting since the last election cycle, so the ability to manipulate elections is still nearly as strong as it was in 2024.

As far as in-person voting is concerned, 36 states require some form of ID to vote. 14 states do not require any form of ID to vote. These states are California, Hawaii, Illinois, Maine, Maryland, Massachusetts, Minnesota, Nevada, New Jersey, New Mexico, New York, Oregon, Pennsylvania, and Vermont. The District of Columbia also does not require ID to vote.

We will cover how these election laws might affect some of the bellwether races we’ve chosen to highlight in our HOUSE and SENATE sections of our report (that starts on part two of this report, which begins on pg. xx). For each highlighted race, we will repeat the election laws of the state to make it easier for the reader to connect these laws to the specific races highlighted.

C. BALLOT INITIATIVES

We are focusing on statewide ballot initiatives in our analysis. We will cover abortion, election law, and data center ballot initiatives. These are the initiatives that are most likely to affect close House and Senate Races.

ABORTION – There are four major abortion ballots in state elections; one initiative hopes to claw back abortion allowance, but the rest hope to allow more abortions for any reason, and one up to birth.

Idaho’s Proposition 1, the “Reproductive Freedom and Privacy Act” would lessen restrictions on abortions and arguably make it easier for underage girls to have abortions without the consent of their parents or guardians.

Nevada’s Question 6, the “Right to Abortion Initiative,” would allow abortions up to “fetal viability.” It passed in 2024 by a 64% majority. It must pass twice to become a constitutional amendment.

Virginia’s Question 1, the “Right to Reproductive Freedom Amendment,” would allow abortion up to birth, with no restrictions on why.

Missouri’s Amendment 3, “Abortion and procedures for minors,” is an attempt to repeal the abortion rights amendment that passed in 2024. This amendment would also ban transgender “treatment” for minors. This ballot question is the only one this election cycle in defense of the unborn child.

ELECTION RULES – Five states have ballot initiatives that would require government-issued photo ID for in-person elections. These states are Arizona, California, Nevada, North Carolina, and Ohio.

Colorado has a ballot initiative that will require greater verification for mail-in ballots. It would require each ballot to be submitted with a government identification number, which includes the last four digits of the voter’s social security number, drivers license number, and the Colorado REAL ID number.

Alaska, Arizona, Arkansas, Kansas, South Dakota, and West Virginia have ballot initiatives that require verification of citizenship to vote.

Alaska has a ballot initiative that would end ranked-choice voting and the top four primary system.

Virginia has a ballot initiative that would allow felons to vote.

The overall trend of most of the initiatives on the ballot is towards greater integrity in the election system. Favorable outcomes could help American candidates in the next major general election, the 2028 Presidential Election.

AI DATA CENTERS – There are no statewide measures addressing AI Data centers, but 13 states have local ballot initiatives. Arkansas, California, Florida, Illinois, Kansas, Maine, Michigan, Nevada, New Hampshire, New Jersey, North Dakota, Ohio, and Wisconsin have at least one local data center ballot initiative.

There are 49 ballot initiatives, with Ohio accounting for 21 of them; Illinois has 7, Maine has 4, Kansas and Wisconsin each have 3, and the rest have 1-2.

The amount of AI Data Center ballot initiatives is lower than expected, and the lack of any statewide initiative is surprising. AI Data Centers did not show up in most top voters’ issues lists.

D. HOUSE RACES

The Republicans currently hold a 218-214 majority in the House. In this election, Democrats are already favored to win 220 races. Of those 220 races, 12 of them are GOP-held seats in the “leans Democrat” category. Four of the “leans Dem” races are Democrat-held seats.

There are 17 House races in the toss-up category. 12 of these House Races are GOP-held seats. That means the GOP can lose 24 seats, the Dems less than 10 (the status of some races are debatable, but the maximum of at-risk Democrat seats are 10).

If the Democrats lose all of the GOP-held leans Dem races, then their chances of taking the majority are greatly reduced. This would require them to win 10 of the 12 GOP-held seats in the toss-up category while holding all their toss-up seats. This also assumes they hold on to all of the races in the Leans Dem category. If they do, they only need to win four of the GOP at-risk seats to claim a majority in the House.

GOP-favored redistricting has made the few challenged DNC seats challengeable, but so far, no clear GOP favorite over a Democrat incumbent has been created through these redraws as many supposed they would.

We will highlight three races from each of the four sub-categories, GOP seats that lean Dem, GOP toss-up seats, DNC seats that lean Dem and DNC toss-up seats. There are no DNC-held seats that lean GOP.

GOP SEATS LEAN DEM – IA-01 – Mariannette Miller-Meeks (R) vs. Christina Bohannan (D):

The incumbent in this race, Mariannette Miller-Meeks, barely beat the incumbent, Christian Bohannan, in 2024. She won by less than 1,000 votes. The previous race, in 2022, saw her lose to Bohannan. This is the rubber match between the two. Limited polling show Bohannan with a 5-point lead, 40-35.

The main issues of this race are affordability, abortion, and immigration (the anti-Trump faction outlined in the ISSUES section of this report). There is no-excuse mail ballot voting and a limited ID (non-photo) requirement for voting.

PA-10 – Scott Perry (R) vs. Janelle Stelson (D):

The incumbent, Scott Perry, is about 2-3 points behind the challenger, Janelle Stelson. The Democratic challenger is a former local TV news anchor whose name recognition helped propel her to a DNC primary win.

The race seems to be, on one hand, a moratorium on Trump, and on the other, affordability. Perry recently ran an ad alleging Stelson had a “nudity” incident involving her neighbor, but the charge remains unsubstantiated. The race is becoming a moratorium on the alleged “character” of both candidates.

PA is a no-excuse mail-in ballot state. It does not require ID to vote.

WI-03 – Derrick Van Orden (R) vs. Rebecca Cooke (D):

This is another race where the GOP incumbent is facing the former DNC incumbent they narrowly defeated in 2024. Van Orden beat Cooke in 2023 by a mere 3 points. The polls show Cooke up between 1-4 points. There are independents running in this race that could affect the outcome overall.

This race has an AI-related issue connected to the campaigns being run, AI-generated images being used in campaign advertising. The top of the list, though, is affordability, with immigration and Iran also showing up as major issues driving the race. This is another race with affordability and the issues we call moratoriums on Trump both being major issues. The AI element is more focused, once again, on the character of the candidates.

Wisconsin has no-excuse mail-in ballot voting. It requires photo ID for in-person voting.

GOP SEATS TOSS-UP – MI-07 – Tom Barrett (R) vs. William Lawrence (D):

This race is mostly about affordability, specifically manufacturing and auto industry job availability. The incumbent narrowly won in 2024. The latest polls show Lawrence leading by 1-5 points.

Michigan allows no-excuse mail-in ballot voting. Photo ID is not mandatory but will be requested.

NY-17 – Mike Lawler (R) vs. Cait Conley (D) – The issues in this race are varied. Affordability issues are there, and so are Trump issues (those issues that are moratoriums on President Trump). Alongside them are also public safety and AI data centers. There is no one dominating issue in this race, though we suspect this race is shaping up mostly to be a moratorium on President Trump.

The latest polls show a virtual tie, with neither candidate holding a lead of more than 2 over the other.

New York is a no-excuse mail-in ballot voting state. It does not require any form of ID to vote.

PA-08 – Rob Bresnahan (R) vs. Paige Cognetti (D) – The incumbent narrowly beat the Democrat incumbent in 2024. The race has the usual affordability issues and Trump issues, but allegations of insider-trading corruption against the incumbent, Bresnahan, are becoming a major issue favoring the Democrat in the race.

The Democrat, Cognetti, is the former Mayor of Scranton. Polls show the Democrat ahead by 2-5 points.

Pennsylvania allows no-excuse ballot voting. There are no ID requirements for in-person voting.

DNC SEATS LEAN DEM – FL-25 – Jared Moskowitz (D, incumbent) vs. Scott Singer (R):

This is a redrawn district that should favor the Republicans. The GOP challenger, Scott Singer, is the former Mayor of Boca Raton. A libertarian candidate could be a factor in the outcome of this race.

This race is mostly dominated by affordability issues, with immigration (a Trump issue) having a minor influence. The polls show a wide disparity, with some showing the Democrat up by 5-6 points, and others showing the GOP challenger up by as much as 7 points.

Florida allows no-excuse mail-in ballot voting. ID is not required for in-person voting, though it will be requested.

NM-02 – Gabe Vasquez (D, incumbent) vs. Greg Cunningham (R):

This is another redistricted district. After the redistricting, the seat became competitive. The Democrat incumbent is ahead in the polls by 2-4 points. The predictability markets heavily favor the Democrat.

This is a race that is both a moratorium on Trump and progressive culture versus traditional culture. The Democrats have a huge spending advantage, with the RNC not investing heavily in this potential pick-up.

New Mexico does not require an excuse for mail-in ballot voting. No ID is required for in-person voting.

TX-34 – Vicente Gonzalez (D, incumbent) vs. Eric Flores (R):

This is another western state district that was made competitive through redistricting. There is a minor-party candidate that could affect the outcome of this race. The latest polls show the incumbent Democrat up by 3-7 points.

The main issues in this race are border policy and affordability issues. The border policy issue may just favor the Republican, but the affordability issue favors the Democrat (as they usually do in most races, including the Senate Races).

Texas requires an excuse for mail-in ballot voting. It does not require ID for voting, though it will request it.

DNC SEATS TOSS-UP – FL-14 – Kathy Castor (D, incumbent) vs. Mike Beltran (R):

This is the second redrawn Florida district on our list. There is a libertarian who could affect the outcome of this race.

The latest polls show a dead heat between the two. The main issues in this race are affordability.

Florida allows no-excuse mail-in ballot voting. It does not require ID, though it will request it.

OH-09 – Marcy Kaptur (D, incumbent) vs. Derek Merrin (R):

The Democrat incumbent narrowly defeated her current challenger, Derek Merrin, by less than 1 point in 2024. The latest polls show a virtual tie in the race. The main issues in this race are affordability.

Ohio allows no-excuse mail-in ballot voting. It requires photo ID for in-person voting.

TX-35 – Johnny Garcia (D) vs. Carlos De La Cruz (R):

This is another redrawn Texas district on our list. The district was held by a Democrat, but the incumbent switched districts to a “safer” seat. The main issues in this race are mostly affordability related. The latest polls show neither candidate ahead of the other by more than 2 points.

Texas requires a qualifying excuse for its mail-in ballot voting. It does not require ID to vote, but it will ask you for your ID.

E. SENATE RACES

The Republicans currently hold a 53-47 majority in the Senate. There are six races that will determine the majority in the Senate. Five of them are GOP-held seats, one is a DNC-held seat. The Democrats must hold their one seat and take three of the five at-risk GOP-held seats. Should they lose their held seat, they will have to sweep the GOP-held seats.

We will give an analysis of all six races. The GOP-held seats are Alaska, Maine, North Carolina, Ohio, and Texas. The one Democrat-held seat at play is Michigan.

ALASKA – The incumbent Dan Sullivan is running against a non-serious Dan Sullivan in a transparent bid by the Democratic challenger, Mary Peltola, to peel off Sullivan voters from the Sullivan that matters. Despite clear evidence Peltola’s campaign was behind this rouse; the courts have yet to intervene to remove the larping Sullivan. The governor has announced a criminal investigation into the Peltola campaign.

The state has a long history of trickling absentee ballots in after election day. so the potential for election fraud is high here. The incumbent is framing this race as Americanism versus Progressivism, while his challenger is stressing the affordability issues. Both issues are dominating this race.

It appears to us there is an interest in the anti-Trump GOP faction in the state, led by their other Senator, Lisa Murkowski, to sabotage this pro-Trump candidate even at the cost of potentially handing the Senate majority over to the anti-American Democrats.

The polls show a 2-point lead for Peltola. We believe the incumbent must win by 4 plus points to avoid being absentee-balloted out of an early election day lead.

The voters in this race will also be deciding whether to continue their top-four nonpartisan primary, which has been more often than not used to prevent conservative pluralities from taking the seat, even if it means allowing the Democrats to win.

MAINE – Susan Collins is the anti-Trump GOP incumbent in this race, yet it is vital for the Trump agenda that she hold on to this seat. Her challenger, Troy Jackson, is an extremist progressive who would support a constitutional rewrite to end free speech and armed self-defense rights.

Jackson is attempting to make this a moratorium on Trump, while Collins is attempting to make it about her positive economic voting record. She stresses her independence of Trump, which is authentic. For the voters, the main issues are first affordability, especially energy affordability, then AI data centers and Collins’ ties to President Trump.

The latest polls have shown Collins up by as much as three points, and Jackson by as much as 2 points.

Collins has an advantage in funding, though Jackson is not far behind.

Maine has a ranked-choice voting system in Federal elections, meaning one candidate must get a majority of the vote to be declared winner. If there is no majority winner, then second-choice votes are assigned to the candidates’ totals until a majority winner is declared. While Collins and Jackson are the only ones on the ballot, write-in candidates could delay the final tally if neither scores a majority victory.

Maine allows no-excuse mail-in ballot voting. They do not require ID for in-person voting.

NORTH CAROLINA – This seat belongs to an anti-Trump GOP Senator, Thom Tillis, who is retiring. The Democrats have a strong brand contender in the former Governor of the state, Roy Cooper. He faces the former RNC Chair, and current NC GOP chair, Michael Wattley. There are independent candidates in this race that could help determine the outcome.

Roy Cooper wants this race to be about affordability, while Wattley wants this race to be about progressive culture and progressive rule of law (a social caste system) versus traditional values and American rule of law. The voters’ issues are divided between affordability, progressivism versus Americanism, and unique state issues connected to hurricane relief.

Cooper has been holding a strong 8–11-point lead in most polls, and that includes the latest one. The state allows no-excuse mail-in ballot voting but has a strict mail-in ballot verification process. Voter ID or Social Security Number information is required for in-person voting.

OHIO – This is a special election that was necessitated by JD Vance, the former incumbent, becoming the Vice President of the United States. John Husted was appointed to fill out the term. His challenger, Sharrod Brown, lost the other Ohio Senate seat in 2024. He hopes to return to the Senate in the other seat.

There is a libertarian candidate who could influence the final outcome in this race.

Sharrod Brown hopes to make this election a moratorium on Trump, while Husted is stressing tax relief. AI Data centers are a major issue in this race, with Brown calling Husted the “Face of Data Centers.” The other issues with voters are affordability, especially electricity costs connected to data centers, the war in Iran, and tax relief.

The latest polls show a 2–4-point lead for Brown.

North Carolina is a no-excuse mail-in ballot voting state. It requires strict photo ID for in-house voting.

TEXAS – The GOP incumbent, John Cornyn, lost in a run-off primary to the state’s Attorney General, Ken Paxton. The GOP candidate is running against State Representative James Talarico, a radical progressive xtian who regularly refers to God as being non-binary and denies the deity of Christ.

Talarico has openly supported the effective dismantling of many basic American rights, such as freedom of religion, freedom of speech, right to bear arms, and even due process rights. He runs in this race as a “moderate” Democrat promising most general audiences a more affordable life.

Paxton has been framing the race as Americanism and Traditionalism versus far-left progressive extremism, which is an existential threat to the republic. Paxton’s checkered past, which includes an impeachment enabled by progressive republicans in cooperation with the Democratic minority, has become one of the main issues for voters.

The top issues for voters are corruption affordability, and Trump ties, all of which bodes poorly for Paxton. The polls show Talarico with a 2–3-point lead.

Texas requires a qualifying excuse for its mail-in ballot voting. It does not require ID to vote, but it will ask you for it.

MICHIGAN – This is an open DNC seat. The incumbent, Gary Peters, is retiring. The Democrat nominee, Abdul El-Sayed, is a radical Islamist progressive pretending to be a “moderate” Democrat only interested in saving voters money and exposing Trump’s corruption. He preaches Medicare for all and an end to ICE funding.

The main issues for voters are cost of living, tariffs, data centers, immigration, Trump performance, and crime. This race is not about progressivism versus Americanism among the electorate, despite Mike Rogers’ efforts to make it so. The latest polls give El-Sayed a 2–7-point advantage.

Michigan allows no-excuse mail-in ballot voting. Photo ID is not mandatory but will be requested.

PREDICTIVE ANALYSIS

The 2026 Midterm election has two main issues driving most races, affordability and anti-Trumpism. By anti-Trumpism we are not referring to disagreements with Trump policies (we have plenty of disagreements with Trump policies ourselves), but with a progressive-propagated lie that Donald Trump represents the white devil coming back to power.

Where candidates are attempting to make the race a moratorium on the anti-American, anti-human policies of the violent progressive ideology driving the Democratic Party, the progressive state press is doing its best to keep the focus on affordability.

When they’re not doing that, they’re demonizing opposition to progressive policies, like abortion, open borders, systemic institutional anti-white racism, and what we call rainbow fascism (forcing people to publicly affirm the degenerate social morality of the anti-Christian progressives).

If the polls are accurate, so far, the voters are not viewing this race as a contest between Americanism and Progressivism, as most don’t seem to believe progressives are the anti-American insurrectionists that any American who understands “endowed by their creator” would recognize they are.

Progressives are the kind ones, protecting homosexuals and non-whites from brutal white oppression. Progressives are the kind ones offering assurance of comfort in exchange for police state control. So far, the polls show the “Americans” want this promise.

The voters are at ease in Zion, and believe the progressives can keep them in that state, not worrying about the existential threat to the republic that progressive policies are in material reality. It is better to lose the republic and preserve abortion, open borders, and child sex medical experiments than it is to preserve the republic and end such anti-human, self-consuming practices.

While there are some reasons to doubt the sincerity of the polls, we believe the marketing efficacy of the polls might be worth 1-2 percentage points for the Democrats, for it will embolden Democrats who see an opportunity to win close races and demoralize the Republicans who will feel their vote won’t make a difference.

If the polls are fake, and some are self-admitted fakes, they still help the Democrats create real voters, as well as give the Democrats cover to cheat, should the “opportunity” present itself.

With the Democrats, we are dealing with an ideology, like Islam, that countenances deception and violence as a means of political persuasion because both Islam and Progressivism preach a message of heaven on earth through murder and lies against an enemy both factions reduce to demons.

The more institutional power they have, the more those institutions will become fraudulent, violent machines of war intended to destroy the republic and allow the progressives to finally have a country of their own (not America, that name will be dropped if and when they finally consolidate total political power).

We can hope the polls are so skewed that not even their marketing effect, coupled with the Democrats’ ability to manufacture votes through unchecked voter rolls and simple electronic voting manipulation, will be enough for them to cheat their way to victory.

In any race where the Democrats’ unaccountability election laws (laws intended to make it easy to cheat) are the law of the land, we suspect the Republican will have to win that race by at least 4 points, possible 5 or 6 (depending on the electronic voting manipulation power the Democrats possess).

We do not believe the polls are so fake as to bury such commanding leads for Republicans, so we suspect the outcome of this election will be a strong majority in the House for the Democrats and a tie in the Senate, 50-50. The majority for the Democrats will be no less than a 10-seat advantage. It could be more.

With this “victory,” expect the “woke” activists to become more emboldened, more violent, progressive state and local governments to prosecute more Americans for the crimes of being non-progressive, and corporations that were walking away from wokeness to turn back to them again.

A DNC win will trigger criminal investigations and prosecutions at state and local levels, bury our congress in constant sham hearings intended on convicting Trump and his allies of crimes they mostly didn’t actually commit, and embolden the street fighters that gave them this victory to ratchet up their violence.

You will see more and more progressives openly calling for the American republic to be scrapped, to form a new constitution with a new name for their progressive state.

We have long-recommended President Trump use every legal means possible to declare the Democratic Party an insurrectionist terrorist operation. We have called on him to use his emergency and insurrection act powers to arrest its leaders, prosecute them for treason, confiscate their assets (including the progressive state press, a treasonous information terror network), and punish the insurrections to the fullest extent of the law.

We should not be holding elections in which Islamists and Socialists are allowed to rule over a country they all want to murder. Yet here we are.

If it happens as we imagine it will, it is a judgment of God on the land, a land that accelerated its descent into progressive madness the day its own court protected child murderers from rightful prosecution.

If the polls are more skewed than we imagine, and electronic voting manipulation powers are not as great as we think they might be, then the Republicans might hold on to the House. They might even pick up a few seats, but they will still have a majority that can be nuked by traitors within their own party (as this current small majority has often ALREADY been subverted by those same traitors).

In the Senate, they could pick up 2 more seats (at most) and make it much more difficult for traitors within their party (like Susan Collins, should she hold on and win) to subvert the American agenda in service of their progressive masters.

Roe V. Wade will be remembered in the history books as the catalyst for the destruction of America’s uniting standard for a diverse (in ideas) people, that we are endowed by our creator with certain inalienable rights which effectively make WE THE PEOPLE the stewards of our own happiness and prosperity, not the state.

Progressivism doesn’t survive without violence, and it has no tolerance for self-stewardship.

Progressivism is an intolerant religion, like Islamism (Muslims who believe in a Sharia state), that should not be tolerated, let alone be legal.

Tolerating the intolerant is to make your neighbor their next victim.

This is the land of the brave free, not the land of seditious cowards seeking to murder their way to heaven, with Americans becoming the dead bodies they will pile up wherever they have the power to do so.

This election is about America, and hardly anyone outside of a few niche audiences knows it or seems to care. Truly, we have entered the season of Amos, where the people of the land close their eyes to the depravity around them, with the hope of preserving their beds of ivory and their bowls of wine.

Netanyahu Cries Foul as Election Leaves No Final Winner

pgnewser October 30, 2026

Prime Minister Benjamin failed to win a majority needed to form a government after the Israeli election, but so did his opponent. Netanyahu beat his opponent 21.4% to 16.2%. Netanyahu is claiming Islamist factions have infiltrated the election process, robbing his coalition of their “rightful” victory.

Golan posted on X, “We must no longer accept Netanyahu’s racist division between Jewish votes and Arab votes. We have a responsibility. And we have an opportunity to form a government of change in partnership with Israel’s Arab citizens.” Netanyahu responded, “We must not endanger Israel and establish a government that relies on anti-Zionist Arab parties.”

No clear winner emerged in Israel’s elections on Wednesday morning with the vote count still under way. Neither Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s coalition nor the opposition bloc, led by Gadi Eisenkot, secured a majority, according to exit polls on Tuesday night.

With 60% of the ballots counted, Netanyahu’s Likud party secured 21.4% of votes and Eisenkot’s Yashar had 16.2%, according to official election data.

One or the other would need to obtain majority support in Israel’s 120-seat parliament, known as the Knesset, in order to form a government.

On Wednesday morning, the head of Israel’s main left-wing party called for his opposition allies to work with Arab parties to unseat Netanyahu.

Bolsonaro Loses in “Questionable” Election

pgnewser October 30, 2026

The Chinese won Brazil’s Presidential election when their candidate, Lula da Silva, won re-election for the third time. He defeated the American candidate, Senator Flavio Bolsanaro, the son of the former President, Jair Messias Bolsanaro. Lula lost in the first round of votes but came back in the run-off to defeat Bolsonaro by a 51-48-point margin.

Bolsonaro is disputing the election. Not wanting to end up like his father, Bolsonaro has fled to America, with the blessings of President Trump. However, the President is reportedly not going to back Bolsonaro’s claim he is the rightful President of Brazil. The U.S. press (the progressive state press) is celebrating the Chinese win because it stymies their own President, Trump.

The controversy with the election began when a Lula-supporting activist judge decided to extend the closing hour of the polls by 2 hours. It is believed this is where Lula “manufactured” the votes he needed to hold on to power. The win by Lula assures China will continue to have a strong presence in South America. It also means Brazilians will face draconian social media censorship laws.

“I want to say, not only to my 60 million voters but to the Brazilian people, that I am the leader and that the criminals who stole Brazil’s election are part of a criminal organization that has established a tyranny,” Bolsonaro wrote, according to Reuters.

After Iran Rejects Peace Talk Offer, U.S. Threatens Strikes

pgnewser October 30, 2026

Vice President JD Vance’s letter to the Iranians offering another round of peace talks was summarily rejected by the Iranian regime. As a result, the U.S. is threatening to resume air strikes against the Islamic Republic. Iran has countered that it would consider peace talks, but only if brokered by Pakistan.

The U.S. has reached out to its Gulf State allies and informed them there may soon be an “intense” war with Iran. The Strait of Hormuz is not completely opened, and Iran has been able to score hits on tankers still. President Trump once again claimed the war will be over soon, but hinted at a last intense stage.

A letter by US Vice President JD Vance to Iran requesting to resume peace talks has reportedly been rejected . The request was met with the pushback that no new steps will be taken until all seven of Iran’s conditions have been met simultaneously.

Mr Vance contacted a top Iranian political and military official to propose a renewal of peace negotiations, the New York Times reported, quoting a US official and an Iranian official. Mr Vance’s letter was sent just days before the US midterm elections next week, which could be devastating to the Republican Party.

He reached out in a letter sent last week via Qatari meditators and delivered on Sunday to General Mohsen Rezaei, the secretary of the Supreme National Security Council and former commander in chief of the Revolutionary Guards Corps.

The letter reportedly suggested that American and Iranian officials meet soon, adding that he would lead the talks for the US. The proposal was reportedly received well by Iran’s leaders, many of whom view Mr Vance as someone would could help end the conflict, the Iranian official said.

Mr. “86 47” is facing more federal legal trouble, this time on charges related to the alleged leaking of national defense information to The New York Times a decade ago.

According to court documents filed earlier this month and made public on Monday, former FBI Director James Comey on or about Oct. 5, 2016 “knowingly and willfully” passed along or caused national defense information to be transmitted to The Times. The charges involve a story the corporate media outlet published about Yahoo’s use of a surveillance system to scan emails for child pornography and spam. The authority was meant to meet the demands of a court order directing Yahoo to track communications of a state-sponsored terrorist organization, the newspaper reported at the time.

The Obama administration’s Department of Justice obtained permission from a Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Court judge. Yahoo was barred from disclosing the matter, according to The Times.

Prosecutors allege the disgraced former FBI director authorized James Baker, the agency’s general counsel at the time, to provide the corporate media outlet with classified national security details. Comey, the DOJ alleges, wanted to “correct misinformation” published the previous day by Reuters.

Swalwell Investigation Leads to New Mansion Raid

A raid of a mansion in Southern California is connected to a federal investigation into the potential criminal activity of former congressman Eric Swallwell. He is suspected of having ties to the CCP. He is also suspected of committing sexual assault on women, with one accusing him of rape. It was his rape allegations that led to his resignation, not his ties to the CCP.

The investigation into disgraced Democrat Eric Swalwell continues, as federal agents raided a mansion in Southern California Tuesday morning.

Swalwell, who resigned from Congress and dropped his 2026 California gubernatorial bid in April, has been under intense scrutiny since five women have come forward to accuse him of sexual misconduct. One woman even accused him of rape.

‘It might still be connected to sexual offenses, but …’

Early Tuesday morning, FBI agents raided a home in Beverly Hills, California, in connection with the Swalwell investigation, Fox News reported. The raid occurred at a home on Roxbury Drive near Benedict Canyon Drive around 7 a.m. Pacific Time, according to KABC.

The mansion belongs to billionaire Stephen Cloobeck, KABC reported. Cloobeck ran for governor of California last year and then endorsed Swalwell after dropping out. He publicly distanced himself from Swalwell following the sexual misconduct allegations.

The Department of Justice did not respond to a request for comment.

Former DOJ prosecutor Jim Trusty told Fox News that when it comes to federal search warrants, “digital is king.”

“What federal authorities love to find is not necessarily the evidence of the crime itself, like finding a gun or finding a knife or finding money, but finding communications, getting access to computers and iPhones and everything else,” Trusty explained.

Trusty then noted that the raid involves federal agents, while sexual assault allegations are typically prosecuted at the state level. “You have to wonder, is there a slightly different angle? It might still be connected to sexual offenses, but does it have to do with obstruction? Does it have to do with false statements when he was being investigated by Congress?” Trusty wondered.

Confucius Institutes Declared CCP Fronts

Joan of Hamas? The Progressive French Jihad

pgnewser October 26, 2026

By Staff

“French culture doesn’t exist in and of itself; there is no such thing as a single French culture. There is culture in France and it is diverse.” – French President Emmanuel Macron, 2017

INTRODUCTION

A statue of Joan of Arc stands just outside the French city of Toulouse. During the course of a series of protests and riots in cities across France, an African supporter of Hamas festooned the statue in hijab attire and affixed the Palestinian flag to her.

Joan of Arc was the woman who turned the tide for the French in the Hundred Years’ War with the English. From the French perspective, the war was about the pervasive occupation of French territory by the English. The French had suffered innumerable defeats and saw the flower of their nobility slain in pointless slaughter until a girl came forward and led the French to victory at Orléans.

She would later be captured by the English and burned at the stake for heresy, but the French both vanquished the English and became a nation, thanks mostly to St. Joan.

The symbol of the French nation, St. Joan, who beat back the colonizers, the English, was now being colonized herself, this time by a coalition of violent opportunists, all looking to destroy the French identity, for a variety of reasons (and all of them treason).

This week, the two stories that dominated our wires were the now-growing riots in Europe and the 2026 midterm elections.

Last week, our Deep Dive, Planvasion EU, introduced you to the events that led up to the French protests/riots, as well as its spread into other countries. This week, we were not planning on revisiting this topic so soon, but we believe the events in France are devolving faster than we would have predicted.

For that reason, we are going to go a little deeper on a part of last week’s Deep Dive, and that part is the French Riots.

EXECUTIVE SUMMARY

We started our Deep Dive with a quote by Emmanuel Macron, who claimed, “French culture doesn’t exist in and of itself; there is no such thing as a single French culture. There is culture in France and it is diverse.”

If we break that down so that a child can understand it, it reads like this: There is no one culture; there are many cultures, though no shared culture. This is balkanization disguised as “diversity.”

If there is no French culture, there is no France, and that appears to be what the people rioting on the streets want to see happen. Judging from Macron’s quote, one wonders what he is even opposed to. He’s perfectly aligned with the goals of the insurrectionists.

As we reported in last week’s MIA, these riots most likely started spontaneously as student protests. But that quickly changed when the opportunists moved in, all united by a single cause, bringing about the end of the French identity and, by extension, the French state.

When the trouble started, the well-funded organizers moved in, from Islamists to progressives to anarchists and more. Anyone with bad credit or a criminal record might be inclined to join a mob that could destroy records which continue to indict them.

The progressive state press has gone to great lengths to paint the protests/riots as the fruit of unaffordability, not the fruit of progressivism and/or the immigration of Islamists who hate France. Unaffordability is a factor, but mostly when it comes to the protesting, not the riots.

The Islamist converting St. Joan to Islam was not protesting unaffordability; he was seeking to hasten the fall of the republic and the rise of a sharia state.

Our Deep Dive will begin with a quick recap of the events that brought us to this week, as well as a summary of the key events that have happened this past week. Then we will look at the actors in this drama, the ones on the street and the ones behind the ones on the street.

We will give you some bellwether examples of progressive state media protection. We will highlight key responses to the riots so far. We will cover the spread of these riots to other countries, like Italy, Greece, and Belgium. We will conclude our Deep Dive with an assessment of the unrest so far.

A. RECAP OF EVENTS

The events we see in France today were not triggered by students; they were triggered by teachers. Around mid-September, teachers in a Paris suburb began protesting the poor conditions and resources of the education system. By early October, as many as 8,000 people were arrested, with 86% of them being minors.

The protests had already turned violent, with the teachers and students now beginning to be joined by Islamist and progressive adults. The peak of the activity so far came on October 17, with a mix of riots and protests exceeding 800,000 participants across 110 separate locations. In Paris, there were 110,000 protestors and rioters alone.

On that day, 1,500-plus vehicles were set on fire, and an historic town hall was burned to the ground. There were 2,000-plus arrests and hundreds of millions of dollars of damage. This all happened on one day. Since then, curfews have been announced, restrictions were introduced, but the protests and riots continue.

B. THE LATEST

Despite bans and curfews, the violence continued this week. At one point, rioters threatened to take the Marseilles town hall, screaming “We’re taking the Bastille!”

The city of Limoges saw its historic Hotel de Ville burned to the ground. The people who set it on fire were caught on video. They all had masks on.

French President Emmanuel Macron went before the French people and declared, “Those who looted will have to pay for the damage, and those who sought to bring down the Republic will be held accountable.”

It is the first time the authorities officially acknowledged that these “riots” were far bigger than student protests, and the intention was (and is) nothing short of bringing down the French Republic.

One pattern that is being seen is that the shops being destroyed (2,000-plus and counting) don’t include Islamist-owned shops.

France’s Interior Minister tendered his resignation in the wake of the failure of the French government to protect its citizens from insurrectionists. Macron declined the “offer.”

However the protests started, it is increasingly difficult not to acknowledge the violence being driven primarily by the progressive-Islamist alliance. Yet, thanks in large part to the progressive state press, the French people are divided on who is to blame for that same violence. Some still blame the students, for instance.

Macron announced plans to change tactics in dealing with the rioters. Specifically, he will be deploying “massive” forces against the rioters. That force will include French soldiers. 1,000 military troops are to be deployed in Paris alone this Saturday, October 24, a day they anticipate will see planned attacks.

They have also banned protests officially and announced other restrictions.

An NFL game in Paris on Sunday is still, as of now, going on as scheduled, but the American press isn’t so keen on going along for the ride given the unstable conditions.

C. THE ACTORS

A Fox News Digital investigation has, so far, identified 54 organizations that are actively supporting the riots in France. Of those 54 organizations, 16 are actual student groups. Among those student groups are Communist and Islamist groups. Outside of the youth, the remaining organizations are far-left groups, including the infamous “Yellow Vests,” who’ve led other violent riots and protests.

From The CounterPoint Blog:

“The protests in France have attracted support within extreme-left milieus across Europe, including before October 17. German platforms have translated French revolutionary texts discussing barricades and sabotage. Italian activists have discussed the influence of the French unrest on domestic protests.

“In Belgium, the activist platform Stuut circulated French texts praising attacks on police, burning barricades, and looting. In Spain, Izquierda Revolucionaria, a revolutionary socialist organization, urged students to follow the French example through strikes and school blockades. In Greece, revolutionary socialist activists called for a solidarity demonstration and praised confrontations with police.

“These developments show how protest narratives, calls for mobilization, and messages supporting political violence currently spread across Europe. Earlier CEP research has already documented cross-border cooperation among violent extreme-left networks. Whether the current protest wave will lead to joint planning or coordinated violent attacks remains unclear.”

Not only did the riots lead to far-left insurgents joining in, but they also spread their progressive jihad to other European countries (and hope to add America to the list).

Some of the French “Humanitarian Aid” Organizations supporting the riots were recently indicted for embezzling millions of dollars to the terror organization Hamas, the same organization Joan of Arc was recently pressed into joining.

Islamists on the ground are already well funded by the French government through social welfare programs, so all they have to do is join in the riots. There are numerous videos of Islamists engaging in violent action against buildings and people alike. One Islamist was caught on video yelling to the police, “In the name of Allah, we will kill them all!”

One video showed numerous Islamist insurrectionists brandishing AK-47s and submachine guns. The video shows the Islamists proudly flexing their wares as they prepare to escalate the insurrection (or so it seems).

Islamists aren’t the only violent insurrectionists. A French woman with a baby was threatened with rape. She was informed she would be “collateral damage” in the name of the revolution. Her aggressors appear to be far-left insurrectionists, not Islamists. They accused her of being a “dirty bourgeois.” She claimed, “With my infant in an apartment I was driven out of because I was told they were going to rape me.”

D. MEDIA PROTECTION

Here are four headlines that bellwether the progressive state press narratives on the French riots:

FACT FOCUS: Trump and Republicans blame France’s immigrants for riots without evidence – AP News – This headline asks Americans not to believe their lying eyes, the hundreds of thousands of videos showing African and Middle Eastern men praising Allah while they unleash hell on French citizens.
France has a proud tradition of protesting, and sometimes people lose their heads – abcnews.com – This headline attempts to make a somewhat grim joke; though the lesser context, the disproportionate outrage version of “lose their heads,” is their punchline, not the French Revolution. The article is accusing people of being hysterical for reacting with existential concern about what’s going on in France right now.
France: Protests “brought the entire population together for a common purpose”– France 24 – This French publication is all-in on the riots, even attempting to popularize the riots by claiming everyone is participating in them. We wonder how the French citizens who are not in on the insurrection feel about this headline
Looters Seize on massive French protests to raid and vandalize shops – France 24 – This is that same treasonous French press protecting the insurrection again. This headline is attempting to shift all the blame for the violence not on the politically motivated insurrectionists aiming to destroy the republic, but on “selfish looters.”

The French press has decided that “far right” candidates noticing the riots and the Islamists’ roles in the riots is problematic, even racist.

MS Now may take the case. Their mouthpieces decided to implore Americans to protest (meaning riot) here like they are in France over our economic woes. Not only are they pushing the narrative that this is an unaffordability protest, but they are also openly trying to trigger similar French-styled arsonist attacks against American businesses.

E. THE RESPONSE

Macron’s national speech did little to quell the riots, and its fecklessness, some suggest, might be the undoing of his “centrist” coalition in the upcoming elections. His speech was mostly viewed as mealy-mouthed and almost apologetic. Confidence in the “centrist” ending the cycle of violence is low.

The right-leaning candidate in the upcoming election, Marine Le Pen, has been using the riots to emphasize the importance of ending “decades of anarchic immigration.” Her party has risen in popularity as these protests and riots continue.

The far-left candidate, Jean-Luc Mélenchon, was egging on similar acts of violence in the name of revolution. Now, he is only fanning the flames further.

From the Hungarian Conservative:

“Mélenchon praised the protesters’ ‘very great political and trade-union maturity’, promised to abolish the Parcoursup university admissions platform and reiterated his demand to lower the voting age to 16. The students insisted that they were not being manipulated by Mélenchon or his party, France Unbowed (LFI).

“At the same rally, he outlined his plan to replace the Fifth Republic with a Sixth Republic, tied to his vision of a ‘New France’ shaped by mass immigration and ‘creolization’ rather than traditional French assimilation and national identity.

“Arguing that the country’s demographic and cultural transformation requires a new political order, he proposed a sweeping constitutional overhaul, including citizens’ referendums and the power to recall elected officials, alongside expanded welfare and ecological regionalization.”

He made it very clear that he hopes to dissolve the French identity in favor of the ecumenical progressive state identity.

When President Trump blamed the riots on immigration, Emmanuel Macron called his claims “stupid.” He pushed the unaffordability narrative, blaming Trump’s Iran War for the rise in prices. He and every progressive (including American ones) alleged THAT was the trigger for the riots.

The Chinese are studying the riots, both to see how they might spread to other European countries (and probably how they can help facilitate that) and what lessons they can learn should the French and other European nations successfully quell the insurrection.

Progressive state representative Ro Khanna of California responded to a U.S. official claiming leftists and Islamists are behind the violent riots. He claimed, “He’s wrong to make it about the left wing… I think that we have to look at what is the cause, initially, of the discontent in this country? Why are there so many protests of young people around the world? Because the price of oil has gone up, gas has gone up, diesel has gone up, they don’t think schools are being funded.”

It’s not about insurrectionists wanting to bring down the republic; it’s about unaffordability. Just like the U.S. midterm elections aren’t about Democratic Socialists wanting to destroy the republic, it’s about affordability. It’s not about an international progressive state movement intending to replace many nation-states with one global state; it’s about affordability.

Make a note of how often the international progressive state press and leftist leaders worldwide are aligned with their progressive “American” counterparts.

F. THE SPREAD

It is likely that we will be following up this Deep Dive with an in-depth report on the revolutions brewing across all of Europe, especially if some of these spillovers from France turn into something more.

So far, there have either been violent riots or there are alleged planned violent riots in Greece, Italy, Belgium, and Spain. Spain has already had riots, but in response to the leftists and Islamists. Now, expect counter-riots from those same leftist and Islamist groups.

England has been having its own unrelated unrest. We expect more unrest connected to the French movement to happen soon.

Even America is under threat, as we have already documented DSA members being caught planning a similar action on November 10.

Italy has been very aggressive so far in dealing with rioters, preventing the mass arsons we’ve seen in France. Greece’s movement is, for now, mostly students, and is still mostly centered in Athens.

ASSESSMENT

In the course of human history, we have created a multiplicity of governance models, and nearly every governance model was designed to serve a particular ethnic group. Even in the case of empires with diverse ethnicity, there was, far more often than not, a ruling ethnicity.

The Roman Empire may have come closest to sustaining a governance model that wasn’t primarily serving the interests of ethnic Romans. Like “American” has become, “Roman” had become by the end of the western part of the Empire, an ideational ethnicity, not a biological one.

In the course of human history, we have created a multiplicity of governance models, almost all of which were, at most, regional in scale, not universal. Outside of the spiritual universal state, the nation, the Kingdom, the Empire, etc., had no ambitions to conquer the world to fulfill their grand missions.

The Christian Kingdom of God is not a universal state; it’s a universal spiritual fellowship. Vedic religions like Buddhism and Hindu variants have universal spiritual states as well (at least many versions do), but no calls to manifest that universality through one universal state.

Islam rose in the 7^th century, with a war mandate: conquer the world by force and usher in the final days, which would then deliver paradise to all true believers. They are the first well-known (possibly first overall, but we’ll allow for obscure sects that never rose to prominence to have come before them) example of a belief system not merely justifying, but compelling, its acolytes to conquer the world and create a universal state.

Outside of Islam, no other popular religion or political system called on the creation of a universal state until the rise of social ideologies in the West. They started to emerge as recognizable groups in the 18^th century. By the 19^th century, they were fully formed.

Initially, the social ideologies appealed to the weak to vanquish the strong. They promised heaven on earth after violent purges of the undesirables, the strong, all in the name of the claim that humans could finitely know the ideal social and build and manage structures to both create and preserve it.

In most of their systems, they identified a key necessity to bring heaven on earth, conquer the world to create one universal state. Only with one universal state could the social ideal of humanity be created and preserved (by any means necessary, of course).

The 19^th century saw these same people (those who fetishize the weak, demonize the strong, and offer a false hope of heaven through an ideal managed social) begin to “question” the nation-state model (which itself was relatively newly created).

These people came to be called leftists because of the French Revolution, where the terms of modern “politics” were formed. The ones championing a universal state through an ideal managed social sat on the left side of the French National Assembly. The ones championing the ethnic-centered kingdom with an Empire sat on the right side of the National Assembly.

Left became synonymous with fetishizing the weak and demonizing the strong, then with dissolving individual nation-states in favor of the universal state. Right became synonymous with fetishizing the strong, demonizing the weak, and defending the ethnic-centered nation-state.

By the end of the 19^th century, the “right” developed its own social ideology, one that promised access to an understanding of an ideal social, as well as the means to make that happen. They also justified violence as a means of creating their own heaven on earth.

But the right never championed a universal state. They did, however, continue to preserve the old governance model of majority-ethnic-dominant states.

In the 20^th century, the two social ideologies clashed. After a right-wing social ideology, Nazism, was defeated in part by a left-wing social ideology, communism, Europe, the source of the right-wing social ideology, began seeking a way to “free itself” from the shackles of ethnic nation-states. It sought the creation of a region-based state no longer limited by ethnic majorityism.

Yet even within that European project, universal state movements flourished (as they continue to do to this day).

Right-wing social ideologies are rarely, if ever, universal state projects. They are bounded to a region, the region that best serves the majority ethnicity in that project. The Nazis were attempting to create an ideal social that served “Aryans” within fixed borders that would allow them to dominate the world without being compelled to conquer all of it.

Even in America, right-wing social ideologies, like many versions (not all) of “Christian Nationalism,” specifically hope to create a limited nation-state for their assumed superior or rightful ethnic group.

The EU project, which began in 1951 but became the official “European Union” in 1993, has consolidated considerable European power in its institutions, but not so much that ethnic-majority-based nation-states within it have dissolved.

France is still, primarily, an ethnic-majority nation-state despite being one of the leaders of the EU, a project designed to dissolve the ethnic-majority nation-state altogether.

In other Western nations like America, Australia, and Canada, the ethnic-majority essentialism isn’t so essential to their identities. In all three of these cases, there are no ethnic versions of their nation-state names. There is no ethnic American, Australian, or Canadian.

Even if in all three cases the initial ethnicity could be categorized as “white,” or “European,” there were, in all instances, early exceptions to those assumptions. Even the “whites” within these nations held on to ethnic identities that often competed with other white ethnic identities. The French in America had no more love for the English in America than the French in France had for the English in England.

But in Europe, which was attempting to create something like the American Federal model through the EU project (where nation-states became states and the ethnic divide became less essential), the ethnic-majority nation-state persisted.

So, they brought in recruits to help accelerate the destruction of the ethnic-majority nation-states of Europe, people who brought with them a universal state model. These people were the Islamists, the “natural” frenemies of Western leftism wherever and whenever they confronted Western ethnic-majority nation-statism.

In America, ethnic-majority-essentialism is fringe, even among “conservatives,” the “right” in this country. Yet America still largely continues to hold to the essentialism of a non-universal nation-state, not a universal one.

America’s neighbors to the south are mostly dominated by universalist social ideologies, communists, socialists, democratic socialists, etc. The leftists in America hope to destroy the republic and make America the launchpad for the conquest of the world in the name of their social ideology,

Under Biden, they opened their borders to allow those predisposed to universalist state thinking, with no allegiance to the American state, to conquer through chaos the Americans still holding on to the non-universalist model.

In Europe, within their borders were plenty of “socialists” and plenty of universalist staters among the natives, but it still wasn’t enough to shatter the ethnic-majority non-universalist nation-states, the member states of the EU.

So, they aggressively imported Islamists, frenemies, who had only one thing in common with Western leftism: an appeal to the creation of a worldwide state. The Islamists call it a caliphate; the leftists call it the global state.

They were so desperate to destroy their own native nation-states that they imported people they know, deep down, will kill them next (if they can) after the two join together to defeat their common enemy, the non-universalist nation-state.

Now, the Islamists and the leftists (which we mostly call progressives, even though some groups would bristle at that term) sense a chance to topple governments and install their own power. They plan to exapt (repurpose) the nation-state mechanisms of power to build their universal state. As soon as the non-universalists are dead, the Islamists and Progressives will begin their wars against one another, for in the universalist state model there can be only one font of power.

Worldwide, every nation-state with leftists in it is a potential future province of the universal state. Every nation-state with Islamists in it is a potential future province of the Islamic caliphate. Among both Islamists and leftist universalists, however, there are competing claims to central authority.

The “American” left sees itself as the future ecumenical steward of the universal state, even as it allies itself with Europe and China, both of which see THEMSELVES as the rightful ecumenical stewards of the universal state.

On the Islamic side, their story is as divided as the left’s, meaning any victory over the non-universalists will be followed by decades, or more, of bloody wars as the universalists fight to be the last universalist standing.

France has become the current bellwether of this struggle, the struggle few clearly discuss, the struggle between the universalist nation-stater and the non-universalist nation-stater. That conversation has largely been avoided by the left’s claims to be anti-nationalists. They rarely define their universal state, or even talk about it, outside of intimate de facto war councils that are mostly held in tax-funded university rooms.

Like the atheist who avoids belief accountability by pretending a belief in non-god or a position of “agnostic” is somehow not belief because they have no god, the leftist avoids this very clear debate by pretending to be against nation-states altogether.

At one point, leftists were non-ethnic-majority essentialists; they have since become ethnic-majority essentialists after they created, out of their own imaginations, a two-raced humanity: the “whites” (who are devils that invented evil) and the POCs (people of color, the noble non-whites).

The only major leftist faction that hasn’t adopted the “woke” justification for power (the white devil’s terrorism on humanity) is China, but China has become, officially, an ethnic-majority-essential project, with their ethnicity of choice being the Han Chinese. China is becoming more of a rightist social ideology than a leftist one, even now appealing to the strong, the Han, to vanquish the weak, the non-Han.

They are also not championing a universal state, but rather, like the Nazis, are hoping to be the hegemon for a world that will serve as vassals to the beacon of humanity, the Han socialist state.

The very symbol of the ethnic-majority-essential French nation-state has become Joan of Arc, the woman who saved France from the colonizing English. She appealed as much to her French nationalism as her God when rallying men to her banner.

The symbol of Joan of Arc being “pressed” into Hamas membership might one day be remembered as the sign the French nation-state, the non-universal state, would soon die, or it might be the symbol that galvanizes what’s left of the French people to rise up and take their country back from both the Islamists and the self-hating leftist natives.

We don’t pretend, just yet, to know how this will play out, but we do recognize that the actions in France have brought this debate-by-violence to the fore, making the question of nation-states versus the universal nation-state a lot easier to ask and a lot harder to avoid.

The battle on the streets of France is between the French people who still hold to their national ethnic identity and those who want to destroy it. The battle on the streets of France is also, more importantly, between the universalist nation-staters and the non-universalist nation-staters.

On the side of the universalists are frenemy factions, all presuming they will be the last one standing after the violent wars end. These wars are sure to follow wherever they successfully defeat the non-universalists in the nation-state they are attacking.

The French state stands on the precipice of existence. The response by the non-universalists needs to be total and clear, making this a clear fight between one nation-state and many nation-states. So long as we continue to allow universalist nation-staters to hide behind the lie that they are against the nation-state model, we cannot rally people to our cause like they can theirs.

So long as people don’t understand the existential stakes of losing to the left and the Islamists, they will not feel compelled to take the dangerous risks necessary to defeat them. Let us pray the French people find their courage and their tongues so they can rally the decisive resistance needed to vanquish a psychotic, bloodthirsty enemy who believes you can murder your way to heaven.

Will Joan of Arc be the last cry of a dying French nation or the rally cry of its restoration? We have a strong feeling that as France goes, so too will most, if not all, of Western Europe, including Britain, go.

Another Judge Stops Non-Citizen Voter Prevention Action –

Another Biden-appointed District Judge has halted key parts of the DHS’ non-citizen voter investigation in what appears to be a partisan protection of the Democratic Party.

A Biden-appointed federal judge has ordered the Trump administration to halt key parts of its noncitizen-voter investigation in nine states — just days before the November 3 midterms.

The preliminary injunction targets election-related field operations and interviews when federal agents know, suspect or reasonably should suspect that a person is a U.S. citizen. It does not declare every investigation of unlawful noncitizen voting illegal.

That distinction matters. So does the timing.

Homeland Security reiterated its position Thursday after a new voter-fraud charge was announced in New York:

U.S. District Judge Araceli Martínez-Olguín issued the order Wednesday in California Nurses Association v. Mullin. The covered states are California, Connecticut, Georgia, Missouri, Nevada, New York, Pennsylvania, Washington and Wisconsin.

The court’s order says DHS launched its “Unlawful Voter Initiative” in August and later directed a surge of field investigations across those nine states. The judge found that plaintiffs were likely to succeed on a Voting Rights Act claim involving intimidation of citizens engaged in voter assistance and mobilization.

Ukraine lost Starlink access in critical areas, leading its President, Zelensky, to claim Musk cost Ukrainian lives. At first, Musk suggested the decision was not his. As of now, the facts behind both the access removal and restoration remain conflicting.

California Tells the Feds a Few Illegal Votes are no big deal

California’s progressive governor Gavin Newsom recently condoned a few non-citizen votes for the sake of not fully checking their voting rolls as the Department of Justice has requested. After the DOJ caught 28 illegal aliens registered to vote and planning to vote, Newsom’s government responded with indifference to the news.

Newsom claimed, “Yes, non-citizen voter registration and voting does happen in isolated instances — in California and the rest of the country alike — but it is so rare that the Trump admin is parading around town about .0001% of California voters. If the feds were serious about this, they would have done this long ago — not in the middle of people voting, which inherently and needlessly sows distrust and doubt in our democracy.”

Is this the ballgame for Ilhan Omar? The Minnesota Democrat has gone into the bunker ever since federal agents searched her D.C. residence last Monday. The search warrant was framed as political persecution, a talking point that died a quick death: a Democrat judge signed it, and such searches aren’t approved unless the evidence is damning. Federal agents confiscated Omar’s passport, phone, and computer. The major development in the investigation into Omar, at least regarding the immigration fraud allegations, stems from her sister’s text messages, and federal agents seized her device before the search.

Federal agents were reportedly dumpster diving through Omar’s trash, looking for DNA evidence. Was something else going on? We know that evidence was obtained, and that thing about marrying her brother that the liberal media dismissed as a conspiracy theory — it might be true. Also, we’ve learned the trash sifting was not for DNA (via NY Post):

The move follows an order issued in late July and also bans new procurement of the related products and services.

A notice published in the U.S. Federal Register said DeepSeek models “present multiple threat pathways”. It cited concerns that because DeepSeek servers are in China, Chinese authorities could gain access to private-sector infrastructure and sensitive U.S. data. DeepSeek’s open-source models are widely used in many countries including the United States, and are mostly provided for free.

Trump had pressed Ukraine to halt the refinery attacks, which he linked to rising diesel and fuel prices. He also moved to ease restrictions on Russian diesel imports. Moscow never confirmed it had agreed to any reciprocal pause on energy strikes.

Ukraine has for months used long-range drones to target Russian refineries in an effort to reduce revenue and fuel supplies supporting Moscow’s war effort. Western and Ukrainian assessments have reported significant damage to Russia’s refining capacity.

The Houthis of Yemen are wreaking havoc on the Red Sea area, and major cities of Saudi Arabia as well. The latest Houthi missile assault struck the Yemeni presidential palace, killing five.

Saudi Arabia’s deputy foreign minister claimed, “Iran continues to arm, train and support the Houthi militia in violation of UN Security Council resolutions. We think that the escalation by the Houthis at this latest stage of the conflict is encouraged by Iran.”

The Houthis have been launching missiles and drones at airports, oil and gas facilities, and military bases in Saudi Arabia in retaliation for the strikes on the territory that they control in western Yemen, including the capital Sanaa.

On Saturday, a Houthi missile strike killed 13 people at Riyadh’s international airport, which was the deadliest attack in Saudi Arabia in more than a decade.

Legal Showdown with California over Illegal Ballots

pgnewser October 16, 2026

The Department of Justice is suing the state of California and calling on 20,000 ballots to be frozen to determine whether U.S. citizens are behind the ballots.

Attorney General Todd Blanche announced, “State-facilitated voter fraud is unacceptable in the United States of America. If found responsible in a court of law, the State of California will have seriously undermined confidence in our electoral system and violated laws that protect our nation’s representative system of government.”

Washington — The Justice Department sued California on Thursday, alleging that the federal government has identified more than 20,000 noncitizens who are unlawfully registered to vote.

The lawsuit, filed in the U.S. District Court for the Central District of California, came after Acting Deputy Attorney General Trent McCotter sent letters to counties earlier this week, including Los Angeles, ordering them to review a list of names of suspected noncitizens who he alleged received mail-in ballots for the upcoming midterm elections.

Three children aged five, eight, and 11 were killed in the shooting at Silver Rail Elementary School in Bend, Oregon.

The teen gunman who was taken out by a father after killing three children and a teacher at an Oregon elementary school has been identified as 16-year-old John J. Griffin II.

Three senior law enforcement sources briefed on the investigation revealed the gunman’s identity to NBC News. Two senior law enforcement officials said that the teen’s mother had purchased the long gun used in the shooting around his birthday in August.

The shooting took place on Thursday afternoon, with children ages five, eight, and 11 being killed at Silver Rail Elementary School in Bend, Oregon, as well as a teacher. Additionally, a 7-year-old student and a 54-year-old teacher were critically injured. The five-year-old victim has been identified by the family as Rhoam Summer.

Griffin was shot dead by the father of students at the school. The father stormed into the elementary school when he saw the suspect go in at around 1 pm. Police scanners captured sipatch relaying that the suspect had been neutralized, “possibly shot by a father at the school,” as police were arriving.

Blue States Show What’s at Stake in the 2026 Elections

pgnewser October 16, 2026

While polls continue to show Democrats to be the favorites to win the midterm elections, blue states are showing what progressive rule looks like. Religious liberty is being interpreted in blue states as only being a freedom to worship, not a freedom to outwardly, publicly live out your faith.

From Illinois to New York to California, laws are being passed that are forcing people of faith to participate in abortions, euthanasia, and affirm LGBTQ lifestyles. While “affordability” still appears to be the top issue in this election, “government trust” is a rising issue.

A dangerous theory is taking hold that religious freedom applies only to the right to worship.

Illinois’ assisted suicide law took effect in September. Cardinal Blase Cupich and Bishop Thomas Paprocki have both sued to keep the state from compelling Catholic hospitals and doctors to take part. A group of Muslim doctors similarly have sought protection from the state mandate. The state has yielded temporarily. In July, a federal judge shielded the Little Sisters of the Poor from New York’s version. The message from the state in each case is the same: you may care for the dying, but you must also be ready to help kill them.

The Supreme Court will hear oral argument on Nov. 3 in St. Mary Catholic Parish v. Roy. Colorado’s universal preschool program requires participating schools to agree to operate at odds with Catholic teaching on marriage and sexuality. Parishes in the archdiocese of Denver could not agree to state requirements, so the state shut them out of the preschool program paying $6,000 per eligible child, along with the families who wanted their children taught there. Colorado says it has no problem with the preschools being Catholic, it just doesn’t want them to operate as if they are.

Catholicism is just one example of a religion whose exercise does not end at the sanctuary door. Catholics pray at Mass and live that prayer in the works of mercy: feeding the hungry, sheltering the homeless, visiting the sick, burying the dead, and instructing the ignorant. Faith asks to be lived coherently, in belief and in service to one another. Jews, Muslims, and Protestants would recognize the pattern in their own traditions. No one is free if he must split himself into a Sunday self and a Monday self, and no community is free that must do the same.
