Kupyansk and Pokrovsk are about to fall to Moscow. Biden the neocon made a very bad mistake pushing encroachment on Ukraine and not negotiating with Putin. Then he and Boris Johnson nixed a peace agreement in 2022. Drain the swamp Trump keeps this hopeless war going.

Somehow, Trump and the GOP do not understand that it is this kind of thing that is making them unpopular. Would Mamdani do something like invade a Latin American country by making up excuses? Is that not what Cheney did in Iraq? How did that turn out? consortiumnews.com/2025/11/05/t...

I love Trump's excuse for the losses. He says he was not on the ticket, and blames the shutdown. He will not be on the ticket again, plus the GOP closed down the House so there can be no agreement on the shutdown. Johnson closed the House to avoid losing an Epstein vote.

He gave a good speech, talking about turning points vs Charlie Kirk's ideas. Amazing how he came from literally nowhere to win decisively against a big name. Part of it was reaction against ICE, Gaza, bombings at sea. How does Trump reaect with 2026 coming up? consortiumnews.com/2025/11/05/n...

Another good summary of Tuesday. The wins were all decisive, not close. And the other side had the money advantage. Interesting to see how Trump deals with this. Does he stay at it, and doom the 26 elections? Or does he ameliorate just a bit? americanprospect.bluelena.io/index.php?ac...

One of the best Mamdani victory explications. Bezos, the WSJ and the NYT tried hard to derail him. (What Bezos and Ellison will do to the Post and CBS is scary.) They will do more of the same once he is in office. His victory is a nightmare for them. americanprospect.bluelena.io/index.php?ac...

Prop 50 also won in a landslide. That is another uppercut by Gavin N to Trump's chin. I wish there had been an open primary instead of Biden's appointment of Harris. Newsom had a much better shot at winning than her. BTW, I reviewed her quite mediocre book on my substack: James Anthony DiEugenio

Just to introduce myself, I am an author of five books on the the assassinations of the sixties, mostly on JFK, e.g. Destiny Betrayed , co-editor of the anthology The Assassinations, and I wrote two screenplays for Oliver Stone: JFK Revisited and JFK:Destiny Betrayed. Nice to be here.

The interesting thing is that the governor's races were really routes. And the AG race in Virginia should have been a GOP win I think. The NYC race was won even though the billionaires ganged up on the winner to the tune of about 30 million.

I think its a pretty good night for the Dems and a poor one for Trump. I mean they even won the AG race in Virginia with a scandal plagued candidate. Virginia is now purple I think. This has to be anti-Trump backlash.
