The voice becomes lower and brittle; the hands no longer nimbly travel paths down which they once shone. Some artists do their best to ignore this, going on painfully long after they should have stopped, in the hope that their audience will see and hear them through a sufficiently thick filter of nostalgia to weed out the pitifully obvious present day shortcomings. Others read the signs properly and know the moment has come to exit gracefully, leaving the fans with one final appearance while they are still on top of their game. Richie Furay, of Buffalo Springfield, Poco, Souther-Hillman-Furay Band, and solo work fame, is thankfully of the latter mindset.]]>Mon, 09 Nov 2026 00:46:00 -0500<![CDATA[Jerry Wilson]]>https://redstate.com/jerrywilson/2026/11/09/richie-furays-farewell-performances-leave-behind-a-bittersweet-yet-good-feelin-to-know-n2209184<![CDATA[Democrats are already signaling they're coming in ready to go after people in the Trump administration.&nbsp;]]>Sun, 08 Nov 2026 21:01:45 -0500<![CDATA[Nick Arama]]>https://redstate.com/nick-arama/2026/11/08/robert-garcia-remarks-on-petty-stephen-miller-n2209180<![CDATA[In the aftermath of the midterm elections, which saw Democrats sweep into power in both the House and Senate and win statewide races where that hasn't happened in quite some time, Vice President JD Vance posted a lengthy tweet in which he shared his thoughts on what happened.]]>Sun, 08 Nov 2026 20:13:00 -0500<![CDATA[Sister Toldjah]]>https://redstate.com/sister-toldjah/2026/11/08/trump-responds-to-vance-tweet-60-minutes-interview-n2209181<![CDATA[Some days, I do not know why I read the paper, and I want to shake my head at it and give up reading about politics altogether.]]>Sun, 08 Nov 2026 19:13:30 -0500<![CDATA[Duke]]>https://redstate.com/tladuke/2026/11/08/conservative-writer-calls-for-president-trump-to-be-impeached-from-office-n2209171<![CDATA[One of the oldest tricks in the espionage game is the "honey trap," wherein the target is seduced into a, shall we say, intimate relationship with the spy, who proceeds to wheedle information or other favors out of the target via pillow talk. Even American Congressmen aren't immune, and neither, it seems, are CEOs of major tech companies. The chipmaker Nvidia's CEO, Jensen Huang, is under scrutiny for his relationship with one Alice Huang (no relation) who is suspected of being a Chinese spy.&nbsp;]]>Sun, 08 Nov 2026 18:31:40 -0500<![CDATA[Ward Clark]]>https://redstate.com/wardclark/2026/11/08/marco-rubio-warned-officials-on-nvidia-ceos-chinese-spy-ties-n2209179<![CDATA[Mark my words: you are going to see a lot written in the coming weeks and months about the Democrat overreach that will be coming as a result of their Election Day victories across the country, because Democrats are nothing if not a predictable lot. Them believing they have a sweeping mandate to inflict woke policies on voters in their districts and states with political impunity in the aftermath of the midterms certainly speaks to that.]]>Sun, 08 Nov 2026 18:14:09 -0500<![CDATA[Sister Toldjah]]>https://redstate.com/sister-toldjah/2026/11/08/hot-takes-the-georgia-overstepping-begins-as-new-dem-insurance-commish-reveals-plan-to-lower-costs-n2209177<![CDATA[Kamala Harris has generally been doing well in 2028 polls.&nbsp;]]>Sun, 08 Nov 2026 17:28:00 -0500<![CDATA[Nick Arama]]>https://redstate.com/nick-arama/2026/11/08/new-2028-poll-has-bad-news-for-kamala-and-the-surprising-rise-of-another-contender-n2209175<![CDATA[Katie Suarez was a resident of New York, out for a jog on October 30, when, for no apparent reason, she was attacked and stabbed.

Many of us did. Any modern army has a long, long logistical tail, and it takes a lot of people behind the scenes to keep the spear-carriers equipped, fed, and to care for them when they're hurt. Oh, some of us came in for some razzing for being Rear Echelon Military Folks (REMFs), but when you come right down to it, we all knew that we were all part of the same big green machine.]]>Sun, 08 Nov 2026 15:41:18 -0500<![CDATA[Ward Clark]]>https://redstate.com/wardclark/2026/11/08/wes-moores-combat-claims-debunked-by-army-supervisor-his-valor-if-not-stolen-was-borrowed-n2209174<![CDATA[How off the rails has the Left gotten?

Between the multitude of Congress critters who opted not to seek reelection and those whose hand was forced by primary voters, notable change was a certainty.&nbsp;]]>Sun, 08 Nov 2026 14:04:31 -0500<![CDATA[Susie Moore]]>https://redstate.com/smoosieq/2026/11/08/tim-burchett-n2209168<![CDATA[Democrats, in the wake of the 2026 election, have been mustering up some serious hubris. Some are bragging over turning Texas blue, which, granted, seemed unlikely only a few days ago. But they haven't turned it completely blue; the Texas state Senate is still held by the Republicans, and that's a key point, given a new proposal by Republican Texas Rep. Brian Harrison (TX-10).&nbsp;]]>Sun, 08 Nov 2026 13:47:22 -0500<![CDATA[Ward Clark]]>https://redstate.com/wardclark/2026/11/08/abbott-urged-to-limit-incoming-dem-governors-emergency-powers-n2209170<![CDATA[On Sunday, Attorney General Todd Blanche walked into CNN, sort of a media lion's den for Republicans. He appeared on CNN's State of the Union, with host Dana Bash, wherein he agreed that, yes, there could be some investigations by the Attorney General's office into statements made by certain Democrats, most notably those in the House Oversight committee.]]>Sun, 08 Nov 2026 12:17:54 -0500<![CDATA[Ward Clark]]>https://redstate.com/wardclark/2026/11/08/ag-blanche-yes-trump-doj-may-probe-democratic-oversight-n2209167<![CDATA[Once the results of the 2026 midterms became clear, so did one other thing: That the resurgent Democrats were about to do as they generally do, and badly misjudge their mandate. That process has already started. In the latest of "We know gas prices are high but OMG we have to get Trump," Democrat Rep. Hakeem Jeffries (NY-08), who is the favorite to be the next Speaker of the House of Representatives, appeared on ABC's This Week on Sunday with host Jonathan Karl. The topic: Jeffries' Stage IV Trump Derangement Syndrome.]]>Sun, 08 Nov 2026 11:25:47 -0500<![CDATA[Ward Clark]]>https://redstate.com/wardclark/2026/11/08/jeffries-hard-yes-to-impeach-hegseth-hard-no-to-working-with-miller-let-the-overstepping-begin-n2209166<![CDATA[Happy Sunday, and welcome to the RedState Weekly Briefing — where we take a quick look at the week’s most-viewed stories in case you missed any of them.
