Message from the doghouse 11/10/2026

American Patriots were walloped bigly last Tuesday. Now is the time to stand up, brush off, and figure out the most productive path forward.

1. On the National front, DC will be total gridlock and not much will be done during the next two years. Fortunately, the Democrats do not have a veto proof majority, so they will have to engage in some bi-partisanship if they want to get anything substantive done. Republicans have until 1/1/2027 to accomplish some tasks, but I am not going to invest any time being hopeful. Will the Dems spend two years trying to impeach Trump? Probably. Will impeachment be successful? Probably not. It would take two thirds of the Senate – 67 Senators – to vote to impeach Trump. Not many Republican gremlins who were after Trump his first term are still walking the hallowed halls of Congress. Trump is preparing for a rumble. A Friday news drop of Stephen Miller being the new White House Chief of Staff was smart. All kinds of corruption investigations will proceed over the next two years and if history is any indication of what will happen – jack crap will happen. I do hope that Trump shuts up and limits his time on Truth Social for the remainder of his term. I would like to see Trump’s legacy be: in the face of seeming defeat, Trump still managed to get shit done for America’s Joe Schmoes.

2. Ohio election results were a disappointment. Fortunately, the Republicans have both Ohio House and Senate majorities. The Republican supermajority status is now gone which means Acton vetoes will take more work to overcome. Both Acton and Ramiswamy were douche bucket candidates. Acton stuck around for appointment as Director of the Ohio Health Department for 16 months – 2/26/2019 – 6/11/2020. As soon as the going got tough with Covid, Acton took off. Acton’s refusal to debate Vivek and accept a concession phone call shows that Amy has the emotional skill set of a teenage drama queen. Amy represents ALL Ohioans and that includes the 44% of us who voted for Vivek. I am going to keep Amy in my prayers everyday because I love the State and people of Ohio. I am going to pray especially hard that Jose Cuervo, Jim Beam, and Uncles Bacardi and Jamison do not become Amy’s best friends in the many dark nights that she will experience in her upcoming job. I read Vivek’s book Woke Inc. many years ago and really thought he was genuine. However, when Trump got elected in 2024 and appointed Ramiswamy along with Elon Musk to head up DOGE, I was friggin pissed when Vivek opined that Americans were lazy and he was all in on the H1B-visa scam. He was out of the DOGE job very fast – 69 days – and quickly announced his run for Ohio Governor. I work Information Technology and have witnessed and experienced the H1B-visa fraud since I graduated from college in the mid 80’s and obtained my MBA in the 90’s. A dude with a net worth of over 940 million dollars was probably not the best choice for the Ohio Republican Party if they were looking to woo Ohio’s middle class Hilljacks. And yes, Vivek screwed the pooch running that mean ad. I still voted for Vivek. I am sure that some members of my Church did not.

3. Election integrity. It truly is amazing that four states, including Ohio, passed election integrity issues – voter ID – yet the Democrats won. I find the State of Texas election results the most head scratching. What were the Republicans not up to during their long majority tenure?

4. Today, I would like to give a whirly – head in toilet while flushing – to several Leftist harpies who bitched, pissed and moaned that Trump would do something “fascist” to prevent the midterm election so that he could be King. What a bunch of bunt cakes.
