California Governor Gavin Newsom (D), a protege of fabulously wealthy Congresswoman Nancy Pelosi (D-CA), called the 2026 midterm results a "historic rebuke" of Dummkopf Trumpf and said he would decide in Jan 2027 whether or not he would run for POTUS in 2028. The governor of one of the largest economies in the world recently commuted the death sentences of convicts in California, albeit at the end of his second term. One wonders what took Gov Newsom so long to make that easy decision. The face of the Democratic Party and opposition to the Republicans should have been telegenic smooth-talking Gavin Newsom, but somehow that role fell to a newcomer, the principled and handsome Mayor of NYC, Zohran Mamdani (D).

Slickster Gavin Newsom has been described as the "ranking weather vane" of the Democratic Party.

Former state Rep. Jonathan Kreiss-Tomkins (D) will become the first Democrat elected to lead Alaska in two decades and Cindy Holscher (D) defeated Ty Masterson (R) in the Kansas governor's race. As soon as this year's winners are sworn in, roughly 75% of all Americans will have Democratic governors. In 2022, NYS Governor Kathy Hochul (D) eked out her win against Lee Zeldin (R) by seven points. Following popular and effective NYC Mayor Zohran Mamdani's (D) lead, Gov Hochul easily clobbered good-for-no-one Islamophobe Bruce Blakeman (R) by twenty points last week.

D/Mossad Roman Gofman is in Washington DC today on behalf of ICC-indicted war criminal Israeli PM Benjamin Netanyahu to press Dummkopf Trumpf to resume military operations against Iran. Gofman, a close Netanyahu ally, is meeting D/CIA John Ratcliffe and good-for-nothing oligarch Steve Witkoff. Trumpf has so far rejected pressure from Netanyahu to resume military strikes, even though the White House Windbag boasted that "he could destroy Iran in three days." The Tuesday 3 Nov elections is testament that the American people are against the idiotic war being fought against Iran on behalf of Israel, a quagmire that is bankrupting the US economy. The DIA counterintelligence threat level for Israeli espionage against the US remains at the highest level.

Sen. Chris Van Hollen (D-MD) announced he will run for Senate majority leader, becoming the first to challenge Sen. Chuck Schumer (D-Israel) for the position. "In this election, the American people called for change. They called for a change from Dummkopf Trumpf's disastrous policies " but even bigger than that, a change from the status quo that isn't working for working people," said Van Hollen. "This is not about any one person -- it's about answering the call of the American people. That is why I'm running for Senate Majority Leader," the popular Marylander added.

In the US, sympathy for the ethnic cleansing Pariah nation has dropped from 45% to 28%

The WSJ reports: "Democrats, fresh off sweeping wins in last week's midterm elections, are taking aim at Dummkopf Trumpf's idiotic pet projects amid an unpopular war being fought by the US military against Iran on behalf of Israel and astronomically high consumer prices at home. Democrats also plan to scuttle the imbecilic "War Department" renaming as well as the ridiculous Trumpf-class battleship. House Democrats however, thanks to AIPAC, did not vote to impeach the White House Windbag this week, coming up with the flimsiest excuses for their constituents."

Democrats must claw back the funding for this obsolete armada

Good looking US Senator Jon Ossoff (D-GA) sounds a bit wishy-washy:

"US Democratic Sen. Jon Ossoff said Israeli forces violated the law of armed conflict and international humanitarian law during its war on the Gaza Strip.

Responding to a question on whether Israel had committed genocide in Gaza, Ossoff said genocide requires a specific intent to destroy a national or ethnic group.

"The question of genocide is a question of whether a government has the specific intent to destroy a national or ethnic group," Ossoff said, adding that the determination was a matter for the International Criminal Court (ICC)."

*PUNT!*

Uh-huh. That sounds like lawyering, not leading.

Loser Andrew "AIPAC" Cuomo, who betrayed the Democratic Party to run as an independent against Democrat Zohran Mamdani in 2025, bleated the same nonsense.

Dozens of academics, the UN, and Holocaust survivors agree that Israel is committing genocide in Gaza.

Google it.

Meanwhile, US Senator-elect Troy Jackson (D-ME) doesn't sound mealy-mouthed:

"Anybody with eyes and a heart knows the Israeli government is committing genocide in Gaza," stated the Maine Senate candidate (10 July 2026).

And Troy Jackson isn't a judge at the ICC.

So, many of us will pass on corporate tools Jon Ossoff, Gavin Newsom, and Pete Buttigieg, thank you very much.

But we will change our minds should any of them declare: "I will recognize the State of Palestine on the day I am inaugurated President of the United States."

That's political and moral leadership.

Otherwise...

#50:

Some English novelists wrote about the colonies (e.g. America, Australia, the West Indies) as lands of opportunity for crooks or "class jumping."

Australia was a penal colony. The UK deported convicts there under the sentence of "transportation" ("Go away").

In Great Expectations, Pip saves Abel Magwitch, an escaped convict. Abel goes on to make a fortune in Australia and quietly returns to the UK to become Pip's secret benefactor. The dark, sinister Heathcliff in Wuthering Heights goes "abroad" and returns to the UK a rich man in order to win over snobby Kathy. The reader is led to believe, but never told, that Heathcliff made his fortune in the immoral transatlantic slave trade.

In Pygmalion (George Bernard Shaw), Eliza Doolittle's good-for-nothing father -- an embarrassing garbage collector with a deep Cockney accent-- unwantedly re-appears in her life after inheriting a fortune from an American philanthropist.

The more-open minded people of London, like the actors of the Globe Theater or their audiences, were happy to see the Puritans voluntarily depart for America, taking their illiberal, intolerant Christian ideas with them.

In all of Shakespeare's great works, he only mentions America once (The Comedy of Errors). His rival, Christopher Marlowe, also only mentions America once (Doctor Faustus); America is seen by both as places to earn fortunes. And in those days, that meant ruthless colonial exploitation of natural resources from weaker indigenous people.
