We are swimming in reports of how badly the Republicans are going to do in next year's election (no links because I'm lazy but these are a dime a dozen if you look). I disagree.
In general, mid-term elections favor the party out of power. This is true so often that it is almost considered a law of nature, particularly during a President's second term. What you don't ever see is anyone ask why do voters reject the party in power in the mid-terms? There's quite a simple answer.
Fatigue.
The voters have had some time to get used to the Administration and starts to tire of the typical amount of scandal, incompetence, and general dum-assery that any administration accumulates.
That's not at all what we see today. The main focus of the Trump 47 administration has been border security, deporting criminal illegal aliens, economic growth, and lower inflation. There are remarkable results for all of these, despite the legacy media's frantic efforts to hide them.
Each of these are 80% issues - i.e. the issues all get 80% support in polls.
I would go so far as to say that the voter fatigue is on the other foot. It's the Democrats who spent the last four years stumbling through a morass of dumb-assery. And who are all on the 20% end of the issues that voters care about.
Voters have short memories but remember that Trump has only been back in office for 11 months and has remarkable achievements - achievements that for the previous four years the legacy media said were impossible to achieve.
The polls for the Democrats are a dumpster fire. There's a reason for this. Action, reaction.
What is particularly ironic is that now it's basically proved that the 2020 election was stolen from Trump. If the Democrats in Fulton County hadn't done this, Trump 46 would have bumbled through a second term with his appointees working with the Deep State to undercut him - just like his 47 term. Instead, they gave him four years to plan this remarkable turnaround.
Sure, he still grates on a lot of people, but at the end of the day most voters will go with what's working for them. They got plenty of pretty promises from Biden, promises that never panned out.
Donald Trump has an ability to reverse the laws of gravity, and mid-term voter fatigue will be just another example of this.

A man suspected of carrying out a pair of deadly attacks — one at Brown University that killed two students and wounded nine more, and another that killed a Massachusetts Institute of Technology professor in his home — was found dead in a storage unit in New Hampshire on Thursday, the authorities said.BuT tHe iNtErNeT sWoRe hE'D yElLeD "aLoHa sNaCkBaR". *rolleyes*
The suspect’s death, which the police said was from a self-inflicted gunshot wound, ended a five-day search that began on Brown’s campus in Providence, R.I. The case both captivated and rattled New England as investigators pieced together grainy surveillance footage and feared another burst of violence. The search stretched across state lines and ultimately hinged on witness interviews in Providence — including a Reddit user — along with records from a car-rental agency in Boston and a search warrant in Salem, N.H.
“Nothing can really fully bring closure to the lives that have been shattered over the past week, but this may allow our community to move forward,” Christina H. Paxson, Brown’s president, said at a news conference on Thursday night in Providence.
Dr. Paxson and law enforcement officials identified the suspect as Claudio Manuel Neves Valente, 48, a former Brown student who was briefly enrolled at the university more than two decades ago. His last known address was in Miami.

If you ask most Americans when World War Two started and you’ll probably get December 7, 1941, when Japan attacked Pearl Harbor, as an answer. Another response might be September 1, 1939, when Nazi Germany invaded Poland. These dates are significant, in that these are when open and sustained military operations commenced, but they definitely were not the start of the war. It would be ignorant to think that Germany just up and decided to invade Poland, or Japan bomb Pearl Harbor, out of the blue on these dates. There were prolonged periods of tension that led up to the …

"The measure does not allocate any initial city dollars, a move that may have helped secure support from the board's moderates after repeated years of city budget shortfalls. Instead, the ordinance establishes a framework to receive future contributions - whether through city appropriations or private donations."
The first 20 years of my career, I was based in Natchitoches, LA. Natchitoches is the home of Northwestern State University, a state college that, at that time, educated approximately 5000 students. It was mainly a teacher college. It is also my alma mater, where I did both undergrad and graduate work.
During the late 80s, I was asked by the Sociology Department to adjunct a class on Tuesday evenings. Introduction to Probation and Prole. One Tuesday I was working an investigation, probably a Pres-Sentence investigation, and realized that i had to go over to the college to teach. I grabbed my lesson plan, went over, climbed the stairs to the third floor and started the lesson.
In just a few minutes, I glanced toward the door and saw the Deputy Chief of the University Police in the doorway.
He looked at me, grinned, and said, "Oh, it's you."
I asked, perplexed, "Who are you looking for?"

University Police, in Louisiana at least, a fully trained, certified law enforcement officers with the same standards of training as the local, parish (county), or state police. They have a tough job on a very narrow beat. In this case they got a report of a man with a gun, rolled on the report and satisfactorily concluded it within minutes.
I don't know what standards Rhode Islan has for their University Police, but the Brown shooting does not engender confidence. There are a lot of questions being asked, with very few answers. Law enforcement is tougher now, simply due to the amount of technology available. Security cams, dash cams and vest cams are ubiquitous, but require funding, maintenance and monitoring. Equipment and manpower costs. These are challenges that every police agency struggles with. These are challenges that every police administrator has to deal with.

In the week prior to November 21, 2025, Leamington police, part of the Warwickshire police, confiscated a collection of 129 antique bladed weapons from a single household in Whitnash, England. The police posted a photograph of the antiques which were confiscated. It was a sort of trophy photograph. The price of an average house in Whitnash is reported to be £364,457 or $488,372. From msn.com:
A spokesman for Leamington Police said: "Now we can't claim to have seized all the knives pictured through proactive patrols during this #OpSceptre week however after concerns were raised to us earlier this week we have seized 129 bladed articles from a property in Whitnash which clearly in the wrong hands could have caused serious harm.
Later in the article, the police added this:
The police spokesman added: "This means that in most cases it is an offense to possess any of the above articles anywhere. If found guilty of possessing a weapon like this you can face up to 4 years in prison, an unlimited fine or both."
There is a problem with the police actions and the statement above. None of the items pictured are illegal to possess, even with the recent changes in English weapons law. An excellent synopsis of the problem has been posted on Youtube. From Youtube video by antique dealer and expert in edged weapons, Matt Easton:
The UK police seem to have wrongly seized a collection of antique weapons. So Leamington police, part of Warwikshire police earlier this week, proudly boasted on their socials that they had seized 129 edged weapons from a property in Witnash. The problem is that all of the items pictured are completely legal to own.
Posts on facebook in reply to The Leamington Police post are universally critical. Not one comment defending the police was observed at the time this article was written. Here is a typical comment:
Respectfully, these are all clearly historic and/or antiques, all of which are exempt under the Offensive Weapons Act 2019. If the owner was not fit to be in possession of them then I can understand but I beg of you not to destroy these items, they’re of historic significance, they could be auctioned off to support the constabulary or donated to a museum or suitable collector.
The number of antique swords or other bladed military weapons used in crime in the UK is so close to zero, this correspondent has been unable to locate an example.
Analysis: When legislatures assume a problem is caused by an inanimate object, rather than by voluntary actions of individuals, they pass laws based on a false notion of causality. Weapons do not cause crime. People use weapons as tools to facilitate both defense and crime. When the focus is on the weapon in stead of individual actions, crime is not reduced. Alternative weapons are easily found or constructed. Weapons are easily constructed out of everyday items. The most commonly used knives in British crime are kitchen knives. A camera on a strap becomes a slung-shot. Sharpen the point on an umbrella, and it becomes a deadly weapon. The inanimate object is not the problem. The problem is the mind behind the object.

Like much of America, I'm watching the manhunt for the lizard who shot up the students at Brown University over the weekend. We're on day five of the investigation.
I've worked a few murders and if you don't catch the guy in the first 48 hours, you are in for a slog. Investigators get tired, leads fissile out and at some point, you get some sleep and start over.
I'm not convinced that the local cops are up to this investigation, and that is not an indictment on their competence. Sometimes we just need help and the sooner you ask for it, the sooner you get it. If I were running the lead at this point, I'd be looking at geofences and seeing if the digital gurus could help me with digital identification. That takes time, but there is no better time to get started than right now.
What we know right now is that the shooter appears to be a stocky white dude, which doesn't narrow the suspect pool much.
The longest murder I worked took about two years to run the guy to ground.
There is a famous quote from Samuel Johnson deriding Revolutionary whining about being treated like slaves: "how is it that we hear the loudest yelps for liberty among the drivers of negroes?" There were Revolutionaries who saw the logic and freed their slaves. After the war, northern states start to abolish slavery. There is also a curious indirect way in which the Revolution frees many slaves.
On November 7, 1775, Dunmore issued a proclamation that established martial law and offered freedom to slaves who would leave patriotic owners and join the British army: "I do hereby farther declare all indented servants, Negroes, or others (appertaining to rebels) free, that are able and willing to bear arms, they joining his Majesty’s troops, as soon as may be, for the more speedily reducing this colony to a proper sense of their duty, to his Majesty’s crown and dignity."
Within a month 300 black men had signed up with Dunmore’s "Royal Ethiopian Regiment." While the regiment grew to only 800 men, his proclamation inspired thousands of enslaved people to seek freedom behind British lines throughout the Revolutionary War.
In addition, many masters sent their slaves to fight in the Revolutionary militaries with the promise of freedom. Some failed to keep their promise so Virginia fixed that. 11 Hening 308 (1783)

Bystander is in white shirt. Terrorist has light colored pants. Shotgun with extended magazine is pointed to the left, under the arms of the struggling men.
The recent terror attack at Bondi beach, near Sydney, Australia started about 6:45 p.m on December 14, Australian time. Two terrorists opened fire with long guns on a Jewish celebration of the first day of Hanuka. 16 people are reported dead, including one of the two attackers. Two police officers are among the 38 people killed or wounded, according to wikipedia. In a dramatic video from 9 Australia News, a bystander, later identified as Ahmed al Ahmed, surprises one of the terrorists from behind. He puts the terrorist, who is armed with a shotgun with an extended magazine and a red dot sight, into a headlock and wrestles the shotgun from the terrorist. He points the shotgun at the retreating terrorist, but does not or cannot fire. He has been reported as having no knowledge of firearms. An older man approaches the retreating terrorist and throws a bottle at him.
The other terrorist, armed with a bolt action rifle with a telescopic sight, waves for his confederate to join him on a foot bridge. About 1:20 in the video, the terrorist who was disarmed has rearmed with another long gun and started shooting again. The man who threw the bottle has taken the shotgun and attempts to use it, he does not appear to be successful. The man who threw the bottle is wounded, retreats, and falls down or is shot down.
At about 1:46 a police officer approaches behind the terrorist who is armed with a scoped rifle. The officer has a handgun out and aimed at the terrorist, but does not appear to shoot.
The terrorist turns and sees the officer. The officer still does not appear to shoot, but ducks behind a tree. The officer still has the pistol aimed at the terrorist, but does not appear to shoot. The video is cut off at that point.
The man who tackled the terrorist and disarmed him is a hero. It is unfortunate he knew nothing about firearms, and could not shoot the terrorist. The terrorist was able to retreat, rearm and continue his attack against innocent people. The man who threw the bottle is also a hero. It is not clear which of the terrorists wounded the man who did the disarm, or who wounded the man who threw the bottle.
The terrorist who retreated had a medium sized bag and a backpack. It was impossible to know what was in them at the time he was disarmed. The lesson is clear: do not allow an active shooter to retreat if it can be avoided. They may have other weapons, they may have explosives, they may continue the attack.
This correspondent does not see any evidence of the police officer at the tree with the pistol pointed at the terrorist who was armed with a rifle, as having fired a shot. It would be expected some motion of recoil would be noticed, and a shot would be heard on the video.
A clear picture and timeline of the event is not yet available. Casualty figures are not final. More information should become known in the next few days.

The man was involved in a fight between two groups. He shot at someone in the other group, who then shot back and hit him. The shooting happened in the 800 block of Sixth Street SW just before 10 p.m., the release states.
The man who was shot was taken to a hospital for treatment of non-life-threatening injuries.
According to police, when officers arrived they located a 21-year-old man who had sustained a gunshot wound.
Background information indicates the suspect arrived at the location and entered the victim’s home, where an argument over property happened.
Police said during the argument, shots were fired and the suspect was also struck.
A 24-year-old man, who police believe is involved in the incident, sustained a laceration during the struggle.
