2026 PREVIEW:

Turnout was almost comically low. But almost every indication is that the GOP gets slaughtered next year, absent some getting stuff done in DC.

KRUISER’S MORNING BRIEFING: Can We Retro Impeach Biden for Ketanji Brown Jackson? “When playing by the Dems rules, Jackson has two built-in shields of protection. If I criticize her, I’m a racist, a misogynist, or both. I prefer racogynist, thank you.”

NEW U.S. NUKES ARE COMING: Now, hot off the presses comes news the Department of Energy will kickstart funding for construction of 10 new nuclear power plants, according to Secretary of Energy Chris Wright in an exclusive interview with the Washington Free Beacon.

Wright told WFB’s Thomas Catenacci that “we want things built by and risk capital coming from the private marketplace, and most everything we’re doing is dominantly going to be funded by private capitalBut the government smothered the nuclear industry for 40-plus years. We’ve got to get it back up on its feet again.”

To do so, Wright said the Department of Energy would back well-funded equity investments with low-interest government loans:

“We are going to use our loan program office at the Department of Energy for credit-worthy hyperscalers that are putting equity capital in front of us. We’re going to back that up with low-interest loans. We’ll supply it to maybe the first 10 reactors that get built. That’ll incentivize people to move fast.”

(VIP Digital-Age FYI: “Hot off the presses” refers to the days long, long ago of what is now known, if it is known at all, as “Old-School Journalism” when a reporter would get a VIP news story before his competitors and his editors rushed it into print. Ok, by “print,” I mean in the old days before the Internet, people actually paid for what were called “newspapers” that were printed on giant rolling ink applicators known as “presses.” Since it was an important story, the presses would be run at high speed, meaning they heated up more quickly. Thus, a big story was called “hot off the presses.”)

SBA BUCKS TO ‘MOM-AND-POP’ STORES LIKE WALMART: The Senate’s Small Business and Entrepreneurship Committee will get an earful today about waste, fraud and mismanagement at the Small Business Administration (SBA), including hundreds of millions meant for Main Street shops going instead to Fortune 500 Giants like Walmart.

INSURRECTION: DHS Nabs N.J. Twins in Plot to Shoot ICE Agents ‘on Sight.’

Federal authorities arrested twin brothers in Absecon, New Jersey, after alleged threats against Department of Homeland Security officials and calls on social media to “shoot ICE on sight,” according to a press release emailed by DHS to Newsmax on Tuesday.

DHS said it worked with the Absecon Police Department’s SWAT team to execute search and arrest warrants for U.S. citizens Ricardo Antonio Roman-Flores and Emilio Roman-Flores.

According to DHS, Emilio Roman-Flores is charged with unlawful possession of an assault weapon, possession of prohibited weapons, conspiracy to make terroristic threats, criminal coercion, threats, and cyber harassment.

Another non-shocking outcome of keeping the LITERALLY NAZIS dial turned up to 11, 24/7.

DONALD VANDERGRIFF: The Coming Storm: A 9/11 2.0 Threat and Why America’s Institutions Are Still Fighting Yesterday’s 2nd Generation War. “This article draws on research for Book 4 of the Reforging the Sword series. Titled *Shadows of Division*, the book depicts the outbreak of widespread 4th Generation Warfare in the US homeland.”

Estimates of committed fighters inside the CONUS range from 1,500 to nearly 10,000. Many received advanced training in Afghanistan on the very bases we built, taught by former Afghan commandos and special forces who were themselves trained by U.S. Green Berets and Marines. Their weapons (AKs, belt-fed machine guns, RPGs, grenades, explosives, sniper rifles, and possibly man-portable chemical munitions) were smuggled in with cartel assistance and are already pre-positioned.

The planned attack is a true Fourth-Generation Warfare (4GW) operation: complex, coordinated, synchronized, and nationwide. Ten to fifteen cities will be struck nearly simultaneously (adjusted for time zones) during morning rush hour on a Monday–Thursday early in the work week. Primary targets appear to be Tier-2 cities (population 100,000–500,000) that possess Level-1 trauma centers and large veteran or active-duty populations, payback for two decades of war in the Middle East.

Hospitals are expected to be physically occupied and turned into charnel houses, possibly with nerve agents. Shopping malls, churches, and schools are secondary or follow-on objectives. Commercial aviation remains vulnerable to new binary chemical IEDs that defeat most airport screening. There is persistent chatter about a symbolic siege of Washington, D.C. (White House, Capitol, Pentagon), though I remain skeptical of its feasibility at scale.

Supporting cells will ambush additional first responders, and vehicle-borne IEDs (VBIEDs) will block escape routes, creating the “fish in a barrel” conditions we saw in Mumbai (2008, Paris 2015, and Moscow 2024.

It’s fiction — for now, anyway, and already familiar to anyone who’s read Kurt Schlichter’s The Attack. Or to anyone who watched the news on 10/7/2023.

ALEX BERENSON: On the cesspool of elite journalism. “The memoir, American Canto, isn’t good, to say the least. It’s draggy, circuitious, hard to read. It’s received scathing reviews complaining Nuzzi is a bad writer. But Nuzzi isn’t a bad writer. The reason American Canto isn’t good is simpler and sadder: because Nuzzi is a bad person. Why should you care? Because Nuzzi is a bad person in the most elite way possible.”

Which makes her a worse person.

ANALYSIS: TRUE. Dem Media Lapdogs Will Never Understand That the GOP Isn’t a Hive Mind. “Over here on the right side of the aisle, we like to mix it up a lot. If I ever run into a Republican who thinks that everything the party is doing is great, I immediately suggest that he or she find a doctor who is familiar with NFL concussion protocols. We’re still a family too, we’re just rowdier. We’re the clan that sees at least one blow-up every Thanksgiving, usually after Uncle Frank has had his fourth glass of dinner wine — before dinner.”
