At Hat Hair Capt Ed says Whoa: Trump Boots Vance From Iran War "This morning, Donald Trump declared on Truth Social that he had a new assignment for his vice president, which has more to do with vice than with being president. Trump has tasked Vance to put his "complete and total attention" on corruption in Democrat-run states, which Trump insists is a much higher priority than negotiating with Iran. In fact, Trump declared in the same post that we don't need a deal with Iran at all..." PJM's Cathy Salgado cites Trump: No Iran Deal, Vance Off Foreign Policy to Focus on Domestic Corruption. I'm guessing this is part of Vance's (and maybe Trump's) plan to differentiate himself from Trump by 2028. At WaT Joe Curl opines Vance does not have a chance in 2028, "The vice president bailed on his boss the moment the midterms went sideways" and Vance-Hegseth rivalry hits crescendo over Iran war, GOP election losses. Rick Moran at PJM thinks Trump's Iran Strategy Could Be a War Winner if He Sticks to It, the Anaconda strategy. Keep squeezing until they can't breath.
Ben Kew @ben_kew, "JUST IN: Jensen Huang has resigned as CEO of NVIDIA after reports of two extramarital affairs, including with an alleged Chinese spy." Sundance at CTH, Nvidia Board Announces Jensen Huang Resignation – Interim President/CEO Appointed, a woman. So NVidia will go out of entrepreneurial mode and into protecting market share mode. Not what we need. I'm sure the Chinese are happy how this worked out for them.

Quote Miles Taylor @MilesTaylorUSA, "So will Trump give back the $25M Nvidia put into his ballroom while its CEO was dating a Chinese spy?" Brivael Le Pogam @brivael, "Prediction. Screenshot this post, we'll talk again in five years. They're going to pull it off. Jensen Huang is going to be pushed out of Nvidia. And here's what happens next. Elon hires Jensen and puts him in charge of Terafab. He's already said it publicly: hiring him would be an honor. And Terafab is the project made for him. A chip factory Musk wants to be the largest ever built, one terawatt of compute per year, from design to packaging under one roof. Terafab's challenge is to do in a few years what the industry took decades to build. There's only one man on Earth who knows every layer of that stack. They execute like absolute maniacs. Musk brings speed, capital and appetite for risk. Jensen brings thirty years of mastery of the stack: architecture, software, customers, supply chain...." zerohedge @zerohedge, "Elon please hire Jensen."

Ken D Berry MD @KenDBerryMD, "He's right, and I've been warning doctors about this. If you don't get your sh*t together, there will be one hourly-wage doctor supervising an LLM that's treating a thousand patients, and a lot of doctors looking for work.

Clay Travis @ClayTravis, "The Washington Post is attacking Marco Rubio for attending his son’s college football games on US government planes. For security reasons Rubio must travel on these planes. So his only option is don’t go to his son’s games or use government planes. This is a nasty, unfair attack." From WaT, White House says proposed Dem probes may be ‘blatant criminality’ It's a stretch, but Democrats have been know to stretch the letter of the law in their efforts to get Trump too. Don Surber hears Trump warns Democrats. "You can investigate us, we can prosecute you." Insty calls it A POTENT THREAT SINCE SO MANY OF THEM ARE CRIMINALS: NYPo's Michael Goodwin says It’s Stephen Miller time in the Trump admin — threatened media and Dems are already spreading misinformation. Matt Vespa shares the video: Here's What Caused a CNBC Host to Laugh a Dem. Rep. Off the Set "Rep. Pete Aguilar (D-CA) was laughed off the set of CNBC’s Squawk Box when he tried to gaslight the hosts into believing the Trump White House weaponized the Department of Justice (DOJ). That’s a flat-out lie. The politicization of the DOJ began under Obama and peaked under Joe Biden. We know about Arctic Frost, Plasmic Echo, and the ongoing surveillance operations against the Trump family and its officials." PJM's Vicky Taft notes Democrats Doctored Evidence to Try to Dirty Up Trump in Epstein Probe. RNC Research @RNCResearch "Democrat Rep.

Dave Harsanyi at WaEx, argues Pete Hegseth doesn’t deserve to be impeached. Frank Gaffney @frankgaffney, "SECURING AMERICA: 11/11/26 Frank is joined by George Rasley and Rod D. Martin to discuss the effort to impeach Secretary Pete Hegseth, the U.S. campaign against Iran, expected congressional opposition, Hegseth’s defense reforms, and strategic issues involving China. George describes the impeachment effort as politically motivated and argues that a lasting outcome against Iran requires ending the rule of the Islamic Republic rather than settling for temporary tactical gains. He warns that the incoming Democratic Congress will pursue sustained investigations and other challenges to the administration, criticizes Senate Republican leadership, and notes the need for action in the remaining legislative window. ..." Frank Gaffney @frankgaffney, "Hegseth Pentagon Procurement Reform Rod D. Martin says that Pete Hegseth is replacing the cost-plus contracts Eisenhower warned about—contracts that reward every form of waste and delay—with fixed-price, long-term deals that give suppliers the predictability to hire workers, expand production lines, and rebuild the shipbuilding and industrial base the United States has allowed to atrophy since the end of the Cold War." PJM's Stephen Kruiser suggests Impeachment Should Distract the Dem Idiot Caucus From Worse Things. At Twitchy, Temu Mark Kelly Tells Pete Hegseth ’Tick Tock, Get Ready A**Hole’. Eric Daugherty @EricLDaugh, " OMG. Dem Rep. Yassamin Ansari is now pushing to launch lawfare investigations against the TROOPS who followed orders underneath SecWar Pete Hegseth She straight-up said it: "People down the chain at the Pentagon who carried out these orders NEED to be investigated." Mask off. They hate our servicemembers. @PeteHegseth is FULLY standing behind the troops. They have to get through him first!" Hat Hair's Beege Welborn asserts A Military Isn't Much Good When Soldiers Are 'Scared They Might Have to Shoot Somebody'. It's about the British, but it applies to the US too. At Twitchy, The Media Thought They Had a 'Gotcha' — Then Pete Hegseth Showed Them What Leadership Looks Like: Eric Daugherty @EricLDaugh, "AWESOME! SecWar Pete Hegseth just gave a MEDAL to the sentinel who reprimanded someone that laughed out loud near the Tomb of the Unknown Soldier on Veterans Day, in Hegseth's group "We love soldiers. We love standards. Well done, Specialist. Carry on Patriots."DEPT. OF WAR OFFICIAL: “As shown in the photos, Secretary Hegseth welcomed the 3rd U.S. Infantry Regiment, the Old Guard, to the Pentagon where he proudly awarded Specialist Iglesias the Joint Service Commendation Medal for the execution of his duties at the Tomb of the Unknown Soldier on November 11, 2026." He carried out his duties. It doesn't matter if you're a regular visitor or with the SECRETARY OF WAR. Standards are standards and Pete knows it." Green Beret Nap Time @GBNT1952, "A US Army Specialist admonished a group with the Secretary of War at the Tomb of the Unknown Soldier for not maintaining appropriate silence and respect, and Hegseth, like a true leader, accepted the reprimand and then gave the soldier a medal for doing what was expected of him despite the potential for reprisal from the highest ranking official in the Pentagon. This is what honorable leadership looks like. I’ve seen multiple Democrats hypothesize that Hegseth would use his position to punish the young soldier, and they could not have been more wrong. Scoundrels always try to tear down men of honor because they know they can never measure up. I can’t tell you how proud this makes me as a veteran. God Bless Secretary Hegseth. DOL, Sir!"

From Da Wire, House Republicans Pick Jim Jordan To Lead Them After Election Wipeout. "I am battle-tested on the oversight front, and I know the Democrats' playbook." TownHall's Kurt Schlichter warns Red State GOP Organizations Need to Get Their Act Together. PJM's Scott Pinsker explains The GOP’s War Plan for Shattering the Democratic Party Coalition in 5 Easy Steps "Group 1: Black voters. Lately, they’ve been barometers of Democratic enthusiasm. In 2024, their numbers dropped and Republicans won; in 2026, it was the opposite. Of all the Democrats' voting blocs, blacks have been the most loyal — and, very often, the most taken for granted. It’s something they’re sensitive about, which is a useful nugget of information. How to attack: Bombard their echo chambers with stories about the DSA’s lily-white complexion, hostility to Christianity, and indifference to black suffering." Shipwreckedcrew @shipwreckedcrew, "The GOP got out organized and crushed in 2008 and 2018. Both times it responded by adopting the practices pioneered by Dems. It needs to do that again for 2028, or nothing else will matter. The Dems revealed a sophisticated networking system built on the back of their existing NGO network - they just repurposed it for messaging and get out the vote efforts. The turnout last week is going to be the “new normal” for them. GOP needs to build something similar — fast." Quote Kurt Schlichter @KurtSchlichter, "We have got a lot of problems, and fat and lazy Republican organizations are one of them… My new @townhallcom will annoy all the right people."
At Da Signal, Questions Mount Over Texas Election Data as Republicans Call for Answers "Gina Hinojosa received 1.7 million more votes than Beto O’Rourke in 2022; James Talarico got nearly as many votes as President Donald Trump won in 2024." Was it real turnout, or mail in fraud? Or something else?

From the Breitbart Bus Dig, How the Fed Model Shows Tariffs Boost Growth, "Tariffs can boost U.S. economic growth over the long term even when foreigners absorb just a tiny fraction of their cost, according to the Federal Reserve’s main economic model. The Federal Reserve Board’s large-scale model, known as FRB/US, indicates that a broad 10 percent tariff on non-oil goods can leave real GDP about 0.28 percent higher after ten years if foreign producers absorb just over one percent of the total tariff bill. Business investment also ends up higher." Remember, all models are wrong; some models are useful.
The Kyiv Independent reports Ukraine captures first Indonesian prisoner of war as Russia steps up foreign recruitment. Michael Pettis @michaelxpettis, "Bloomberg: “Russia has effectively abandoned attempts to replace the dollar with China’s yuan under the pressure of US secondary sanctions, underlining the difficulties facing other nations looking for an alternative global currency.” As I’ve long explained, surplus countries don’t acquire USD assets because Washington forces them to do so. It is their need to acquire USD assets that forces the US to accommodate." Sundance hosts Remarkable Video – Kremlin Allows Media to Record 30 Minutes of Discussion Between Putin, Witkoff and Kushner. "I can tell you from experience in studying Russian’s close up over a long timeframe, President Putin is frustrated at the remarks from the U.S. side because Russia doesn’t culturally engage in ‘blah, blah, blah.’ You see this when Putin talks about the “grey zones” that are stunningly antithetical to the mindset of any Russian."
