A point of no return. In science, it is when no light nor matter can escape a black hole.
In a metaphorical sense, we may have passed through the event horizon as to the future of this country. There is no turning back now. Whatever happens now is pretty much unavoidable.
No matter what Trump does, even if he resigns, will do anything to alter what is going to happen next.
Let me be clear about this. I do not wish for him to resign. I do not think that resignation is warranted nor desired. I am simply saying that the forces which are aligned against him will force his hand to do something that will change things in this country forever. That includes resignation, if that is how Trump decides to handle it. It makes no difference.
You cannot put this genie back into the bottle.
It may be pointless to assign blame for why this happening. Makes no difference either. Seems to me that something is going to happen one way or another.

Behind the Black blog: Freedom is dying
Amen, bro.
Just keep in mind though that a small number of Texans managed to defeat an entire nation. A small country like Israel has managed to continue to exist amidst an ocean of humanity which seeks to destroy them.
But you cannot succeed if you do not organize.

Home room angel
Saw on Facebook that a guy I knew slightly in school was looking for a gal whose name I remember, but that's about it. Almost, anyway. It all reminds me of this song. Was he looking for his home room angel? Would he have been disappointed to find out what became of her?

One more election thought....
After going into town, and doing some work on the Nissan there, another thought occurred to me from watching the TeeVee.
This is the biggie of them all, the one that all of the RINOS seem to love to criticize Trump for, and that is the "civility" issue. For them, "civility" is docile servility to the powers-that-be----meaning themselves. There is no way that they will countenance any back talk to the almighty and all knowing media flunkies of theirs---who are their surrogates. Nope, can't be doing anything like that.
Trump was giving as much as he got in a presser today, and my reaction was amusement. This was true even though the sound was turned down. You know what? It really is Wrestlemania up there, and people are tuning in just to hear Trump and the media flunkies going at each other. It is a real catfight.
I didn't turn the sound up. I didn't need to hear it. I knew from the body language that Trump was giving it right back at 'em. I say excellent! But your everyday average RINO limpwristed wuss would say that it all so regrettable. To that, I say that if Trump was any different than this, he wouldn't be POTUS today. Not only that, you would be happy that no GOP as POTUS would last because you prefer to play second fiddle to the Dems. You are just too scared to take the bull by the horns and get 'er done. You'd rather whine and cry about the mean old Democrats, when you just cannot find the gonads to actually oppose them on anything of substance. Even when you vote for Kavanaugh, you turn it into a circus. Indeed, you love the circus just like you love being in the minority. Then you complain about it all.
As for me, I don't care for the circus, but I realize that some of it is necessary. If we had a real opposition party, Trump wouldn't be necessary. If we had real respect in our politics, Trump wouldn't be necessary. Trump is necessary because that is the only way that an honest opposition can ever be heard.
If it weren't "civility" it would be something else. Fact is, they hate Trump because it disturbs their comfort zone. It shows them up as the weenies that they are.
So hats off to Trump. Even though this was a loss ( let's be honest ), he isn't going to change a bit. If he were like them, he would be kowtowing to them about right now. I'm glad he's going to continue being Trump. If he stops, we are in even more trouble than we are already.
Don't know if this is all. If I have any more thoughts, I'll be sure to let you know.

Trouble signs in the state of Texas
This state is considered as being one of the reddest of the red states. But there were a lot of very close calls last night.
Heap big trouble kemosabe.
The so-called conservatives had better get their heads out of their backsides, and figure out how to keep Texas red, or we're going to have another Collyfornia on our hands.
The race thing is working for the Democrats. How to beat that? I think Trump has the answer for that, but he risks losing the RINOS, who tend to side with the white gentry liberals against the working class.

Quick take on the election results
Posting will be light, as I have to go do an errand, which will take up most of the morning.
As of now, which is shortly before 5 am., it looks like a Democrat takeover of the House, by a very narrow margin. They needed 24, they got 26. This is not a big victory, but it is a victory for them.
In Texas, Cruz beats O'Rourke, by not by all that much. In my old neighborhood, the GOP seat held by a long term incumbent, John Culberson, was lost. This was very unfortunate, as Culberson was good for Texas, and served the state and country well. That loss was a bit hard to fathom for yours truly.
All in all, it seems like little has changed. The tribes remained in their places, just as dead set against each other as before. The crossover of Latinos and Blacks probably didn't happen. Or, if it did, it was of limited effect.
I suppose I could go into further commentary, but there will be plenty of time for that, and I really don't have the time right now.

Hoping for best, but preparing for worst
Updated:
11.7.18:
It turns out that this concern that I briefly mentioned was being echoed elsewhere. Unfortunately, it appears to be too little too late. If you get outsmarted and outhustled, you are going to lose. This may have been what happened yesterday.
11.6.18:
Seems like I heard that phrase somewhere before...
Anyway, there's no preparation for the worst that I can see anywhere, and that includes yours truly. No, there just isn't any way to prepare for an army of one. If you are the only one willing to take the bastards on, then you are going to lose.
Not that I give up or anything.
Here's another one of those news tidbits that make me suspicious about what is going on. It seems that there's an app that find out if you voted or not. This app is being used to pressure people into voting this time, and today was the first time that I have heard of it.
So, the big, big question for me is why wasn't this discussed so that everybody will know about it? Hmmmmmmmmmmmmm? Why should only one side have this informational advantage?
Information wins or loses a war. Yet, these people keep talking about a war. This informs me that they just aren't serious people. You can bet your sweet bippy that this blog would have mentioned such information, but evidently somebody knew about and sat on the information. Why???????
So nobody is really serious in this country, except the people who are out to destroy it. Hopefully, this won't work, but it MIGHT.
If my preparations were any good at all, then the thought that tonight might be a bitter disappointment won't be that big of a surprise to me. I remember 2012, in which a GOP nominee just about threw away a golden opportunity to defeat Obama, and refused to use it. It might have made a difference. So that year was very, very disappointing not only for me, but for a lot of people who are sincere about our country.
Just saying. Lots of news sites are out there saying how good everything looks for MAGA. Sorry to burst your bubbles, but we have a significant number of people out there who don't give a hoop about MAGA--- even though they pretend to be on our side. This might make the difference tonight.
