From my AI discussion:
🧷 THE BUTCHER’S THUMB — SUNDAY, OCTOBER 25, 2026
GENERAL MOOD
The shows are locked into their election‑season tunnel vision. They’ll hit Ukraine, Trump’s pivot, energy volatility, economic jitters, and a handful of candidates — all framed as “what this means for November.” Everything else gets pushed off the table.
The guest lists tell you the producers are nervous about fuel prices, global instability, and domestic polling noise. Expect a lot of “We’re monitoring the situation” and “This is a critical moment for democracy,” delivered with the usual solemn head‑tilts.
SHOW‑BY‑SHOW ANALYSIS
FACE THE NATION (CBS)
Blanche + Crow + Tillis + Hinojosa tells you Brennan is building a “bipartisan concern” narrative. Blanche signals legal‑process talk, Crow gives the Dem foreign‑policy angle, Tillis is the “Republican who scolds Republicans,” and Hinojosa adds a Texas border‑policy flavor. Salvanto’s presence means CBS wants to push polling anxiety.
Expect CBS to frame the week as: “Republicans in disarray, Democrats steady, voters nervous.”
FOX NEWS SUNDAY (Fox Network)
Mike Johnson opens with congressional power dynamics. Landrieu gives the Dem rebuttal. The Ruthless crew means Fox wants a lively, insider‑GOP media segment — lots of campaign mechanics, strategy, and messaging. The panel mix (Chambers, Harf, Kraushaar, Priebus) suggests Fox will try to look “balanced” while still hitting failures.
Expect Fox to push: “Republicans have momentum, Democrats have excuses.”
MEET THE PRESS (NBC)
Schiff + Whitmer + Kornacki = NBC’s comfort zone: Trump legal framing, Democratic governance, and polling panic. Rogers is the lone Republican, but he’s the “safe” kind — national security, sober tone, no fireworks. The panel reinforces NBC’s preferred narrative: “Democrats are responsible adults; Republicans are risky.”
Expect NBC to push: “Democracy under threat, GOP extremism, and Whitmer as the future.”
THIS WEEK (ABC)
Hinson + Turek + Wes Moore gives ABC a Midwest‑plus‑Maryland framing: “local issues, national stakes.” Moore is a rising Dem star, so ABC will give him softballs. The panel (Brazile, Christie, McHenry, Cottle) is a classic ABC mix: one Republican who fights, one Republican who negotiates, and two Democrats who moralize.
Expect ABC to push: “Republicans divided, Democrats unified, Midwest voters decisive.”
STATE OF THE UNION (CNN)
Blanche again — CNN wants the legal storyline front and center. Shapiro and Stevens give CNN the “Democratic governance” angle. The panel is heavily Democratic except for McDaniel and Goldberg, meaning Tapper will frame the conversation as “Republicans defending themselves against facts.”
Expect CNN to push: “Legal peril for Republicans, steady leadership from Democrats.”
SUNDAY MORNING FUTURES (FNC)
Kudlow brings Gingrich + Keane + Clay Travis — a trifecta of political strategy, military framing, and cultural commentary. Holtz‑Eakin and Sumerlin on economics means Kudlow wants to hammer inflation, spending, and energy policy.
Expect SMF to push: “The real stories the big networks won’t touch — economic rot, foreign threats, and cultural backlash.”
⭐ WHAT’S NOT BEING COVERED
1. Major PHP vulnerabilities
Critical security flaws affecting millions of servers and web applications — yet none of the Sunday shows will mention it.
2. French riots spreading into Italy
The unrest that began in France has crossed into Italy, escalating Europe’s instability — but the networks will ignore it.
3. Church massacre in Jordan by fundamentalist Islamist attackers
A deadly attack on a Christian church with major regional implications — barely a whisper in U.S. media.
4. Thousands of California voters sent duplicate mail‑in ballots — DOJ sues for records
A large‑scale ballot‑handling error with federal legal action — but the shows won’t touch election‑integrity stories.
5. Two FBI agents charged for false statements to Congress about the Hunter laptop
A major institutional‑credibility story — but the networks will bury it to protect their preferred narratives.
FINAL THUMB
They’ll talk Ukraine, Trump’s pivot, energy, and the economy.
They’ll mostly ignore the PHP vulnerabilities, the European unrest, the Jordan massacre, the ballot duplications, and the FBI charges.
As always, the real news is off‑camera.
12:00 PM - 1:00 PM NBC's "Meet the Press"

“The Sunday Morning Bray”, by Bray!
Psalm 51:12 King James Version
12 Restore unto me the joy of thy salvation; and uphold me with thy free spirit.
The three massacred children in the special Ed school in Bend Oregon encompasses all of the hypocrisy and double speak of the Baby Killing Party. Governor Kotax and her Party was in a straight jacket since she could not unapologetically thank and commend the hero with a gun was able to save no telling how many lives by shooting the killer while pretending to mourn those three children and the teacher.
It is time to point out their evilness for exactly what it is. The Communists have owned this Party for decades and hid their communism with code words and lies. The basis of their cult is the deciding of life and death of babies in the womb. Their goal is to turn as many wombs into tombs as the can which is 75 million in America and somewhere around a billion worldwide.
Science says life begins at conception and the life inside a woman’s body is a human baby. It is not a puppy or a kitten or lamb, it is a baby from the moment it is conceived. The Baby Killing Party wants to call it anything except a Baby to hide the fact women are killing babies.
Their entire Party is built around killing babies under the lies of family planning, reproductive rights, women’s healthcare, when it is nothing more than killing a baby from conception until the first breath and beyond. They have the people convinced it is not a human until they magically call it a human.
If they celebrate the killing of 75 million babies in America why are they so grieved over the killing of three young children shot by an evil monster. There has to be a complete disconnect of it being a right to shove a knife into a baby’s brain while in the womb or letting them die on the birthing table and mourning a child a few years older. At what age is a baby allowed to live and be considered a human life by the Baby Killing Party?
The reality is they do not have any compassion for any life including the 3 murdered in the school. The reason Kotax showed up is she knows to never let a dead body go to waste and especially a child’s body. She wanted to push her gun grabbing agenda even though a good man with a gun stopped and evil dirtbag with a shotgun. If she had her way the good man would be disarmed and the dirtbag would have free reign with the children and teachers. Of course the Baby Killing Party wants more killing as long as they stay in power.
This shooting in Bend exposes the entire Democrat Party’s agenda. If you were to draw a line from conception to death they could not point to one place on the line where a life is valued. In the Communist world the only good human is a dead human which they show over and over and over. They may pretend to grieve when the lights are on but there is no caring or compassion which is shown by their celebration of dead babies and their promotion of making more.
They have managed to make it virtuous to kill your baby in America and is time to call it for what it is, killing babies for no reason.
Pray for the babies

One story I see possibly missing is the one about this:
The criminal somali formerly known as ilhan omar but now known by her real name:
Ilhan Nur Said Elmi
The recent raid on her home may show lots of great intel along with some possible DNA which will help establish who she really is and how legal or otherwise she is:

Mods should put the Butler pic of Trump up for the last week before election day.

We are faced with a political party that has sided with some of the worst groups in the world,terrorists,and communists. Thankfully we have leaders,on our side, that stand in the way of all their nonsense like our current president:
Trumps massive rally in Fort Myers saw more people waiting outside than inside it was so successful.The west coast of Fla. knows a great leader when they see one!!
Fight! Fight, fight!
By the way these threads get thousands of posts over and over and come up with hundreds of cutting edge comments!! Great stuff week after week here on FR:
For the gas and diesel crowd…
You know what's more expensive than $4 a gallon gas? Paying student loans I never took out.
Paying for free food for someone that shouldn't even be here.
Paying healthcare for people that jumped the border.
Paying for infrastructure in a country I've never been to.
Paying for military protection for people that hate us.
Paying the salary of politicians trying to destroy this country.
Paying judge's salary that no longer support justice.
These things are costing me a hell of a lot more than a gallon of gas…
https://x.com/BamaSaltyMarine/status/2113666313952379144 ......................................
I would add those who are upset at paying a dollar a gallon more than normal at the pump should realize by Trump taking out Irans' ability to facilitate terrorism on a world wide scale he helps the world escape crazed terrorists for a dollar a gallon.!!
And.. it won't be forever either. All for a buck a gallon.!!

Yes! Absolutely!
I wish I had prompted this story!
Sometimes I ask the AI, “What’s missing?” or “What’s not being discussed.” I then narrow it down or give it ideas it missed.
How many seconds into the Mike Rogers interview will it take for Welkers face to twist into pure anger. My money is on the under 2 seconds bet. As opposed to the smiley face I want to sleep with you bedroom eyes she’ll give Schitt and Whitmer, pity only one of them is into women.
Donalds will be an excellent governor and has the blessing of our current governor Ron DeSantis
I am very dismayed to see Elise Slotkin proposing to legally and socially harass young people for working or considering working for Trump. Then several democrats are proposing to jail Elon Musk if they get back in power.
When Democrats express outrage about Elon Musk’s political influence, they frame it as dangerous, corrupting, or authoritarian. But when George Clooney, George Soros, or Michael Bloomberg exert political influence — often far larger and more organized — the tone is completely different: supportive, grateful, even celebratory.
And from the media? Crickets. Because THEY are democrats.
The media and the democrats used legal and investigatory pressure against political opponents long before Trump:
• Investigations into Nixon staffers
• Iran Contra prosecutions
• The Scott Walker “John Doe” investigations
• The IRS targeting scandal (conservative groups)
• The prosecution of conservative filmmaker Dinesh D’Souza
• The prosecution of conservative donor Tom DeLay (conviction overturned unanimously)
• The ENTIRE Russia Hoax investigation of Trump. Including multi-decade jail time for Campaign Manager Paul Manafort for foreign agent reporting mistakes
Accountability in Washington is selective, not principled.
It worries me when politicians say, “Once we’re in power, we’re going to investigate this or that,” without naming an actual crime. In a healthy system, investigations follow evidence — not political opponents. A real, non‑biased journalist should immediately ask, “What is the crime?” and then, “Are you proposing to investigate a political opponent in order to find a crime? Is that normal in criminal investigations?” Because if the answer is yes, we’re normalizing retaliation instead of justice — and that threatens the basic freedom all Americans should have to disagree, support any candidate, and vote their own convictions.
Contrast Trump campaigning versus here yesterday when the Barry Sotero show came to town. The ex liar in chief conman comes to campaign for the other conman and the rest of the apparatchiks show up to be bobble heads. Of course their paid stooges from the unions show up in their colors like any good party member would. The Big Tent put on quite a show, but after all the clowns and animal acts packed up and departed all that’s left is the piles of 💩 that the left always leaves behind.
ALERT!!!
Kudlow will have an interview with POTUS this morning.
In a state of panic, people say and do desperate things
When Lissa showed up here in 2017 fresh from the BHO administration and I saw the CIA pedigree it spelled out Danger to me. And she wound up my representative for 2 terms before she was redistricted elsewhere. My city is a Republican stronghold so needless to say she rarely showed up or campaigned around here. Her election to senate just confirmed that Michigan has been overpopulated by AWFL’s long before Gutfeld named it.I have several long time acquaintances that are single after getting rid of their AWFL exes and it’s amazing to hear how these women have alienated their children as well as losing a husband. Apparently they find being a bitter hate filled lunatic is liberating...😳
The Governors race in Oregon is going very well. Repubs are turning out early in big numbers.
Looks like Shannon will cover Illhan whatever her name is.
Houtis in Yemen bombing Saudi airport.
France needed 70,000 police to stop pathetic terrorists in France.With the rocks and concrete now being thrown at the police by junior terrorists they may need more than water cannons to stop the loser punks. At the very least bigger and badder bats to leave an impression on the punks.
........................
Trumps latests rally will be in Port Huron, Mich. today. The line is already huge with anxious patriots awaiting the finest president we have had in years.
Meanwhile, zero is chumming up commie wannabes along with el sayed the now outed criminal commie. His trend is down and hopefully out.
Speaker Mike Johnson up now.
Shannow using phony polls showing dems leading in the House. Johnson now explaining to Shannon how dems are oversampled and we are dramatically "undersampled" by polling. In addition we don't use or like polls.
Shannon now pointing out we have a small majority. Johnson tells her we do the right thing for the right reason,great comment.
I'll use it!!
Johnson has circled the globe in his travels over 13 times!! Show me a speaker of the House in recent memory who has done anything like that at all!!He's the real deal.
Shannon now spouts more dem chatting points. People are upset,high gas etc. she's all in for the left,no question!
Mike says we set the ship of state on the "right" course using "a steady hand on the wheel!!" Just too good! He says we are the grown-ups and are in charge!!
Johnson just ate Shannons lunch telling her Joni Ernst was right,she has no answer.
She has to get rid of him he shut her down.
.............................................
NYT says if dems take the House and start going after Trump it will backfire on them and fire us up. Finally, the Times is right about something.
Dirty dem Mitch Landrieu,NO Mayor, now saying the world is in chaos due to Trump,he wants everyone to be down on Trump.
Hasan Piker now up for discussion the rats nemesis,Hasan Piker hates everything and landrieu from lA. HAS TO agree. Now DSA in discussion,no border, big supreme court no police,landrieu has been told not to cover all the bad there is about the dirty dems. He says the election is about common sense vs. crazy insinuating that we are the crazy,good luck with that. Chaos, crazy,cost, chatting points for Landrieu,he's so full of crap its amazing.
Now up with a mouthful of dem chatting points.
........................................
Josh Kraushaar, fox news radio, now up on panel,lots of chat about how we appeased Russia and showed favor of them over Ukraine which supposedly is so popular with US citizens. no one remembers russia has lots of nukes all pointed at us. France now being accused of bringing in commies who hate them,brilliant move by France with open borders,idiots.
France has free health care, 30 hour work week,inflation,riots almost daily, idiots.
Mow marie harf telling panel how terrible everything is we do and their side,commies ,are always wonderful. she says young people cant afford anything so they riot,she doesn't say it but wants socialism leading to communism as the answer.
