Chuck Schumer has gone to great lengths to claim the Democrats recruited the highest-quality, most qualified people, which is why they had such success on Tuesday flipping the House and Senate. It is clear that in this political climate, anyone with a D after their name was a shoe-in. A Dixie cup could have won … Read more
If Republicans had been successful in holding the House and Senate, they would have defied a historical trend. Only a handful of times has a sitting President retained the advantage of a Congressional majority at the midterms, with the last being George Bush in 2002. The country was still united after 9/11, and the voters … Read more
You can listen to the debates, discussions, explanations, and, oh yes, the excuses, but the bottom line is the Left cleaned our clock on Tuesday. The Republican candidates fought hard, and in most cases were the better person and the more qualified, but the die was cast in the spring when Donald Trump put both … Read more
If you are an independent thinker or averse to being one of the sheep that just follow the herd, the Democratic Party may not be the place for you. The Democrats claim to have a big tent, but it comes with one important caveat to be allowed in; you must check your mind at the … Read more
The term “the most important election in your lifetime,” has been beaten to death and has lost any strength or power it once had. The truth is that every election is important, but in the past, people had to think about which candidate to vote for. That was in the past, when you could choose … Read more
Randi Weingarten is an amazing woman. Now you might think I am going to heap praise on her, but not today, or ever. Amazing and Randi always have a negative connotation. In this case, she and the American Federation of Teachers (AFT), along with the folks at the National Education Association (NEA), spent a combined … Read more
The Democrats may regain the House of Representatives on Tuesday, but that does not mean it will be a day of celebration for Hakeem Jeffries. This month marks four years since Hakeem Jeffries became the minority leader in the House of Representatives. He succeeded legend Nancy Pelosi and was her pick as her successor in … Read more
Donald Trump has many facets that make him hard to understand, but easy to hate if you are on the left of center. It is hard to pick the dominant reason, so let’s break it down into Trump the person and then the President. Trump is compared to Reagan in many ways, and both were … Read more
We often hear that an election is about change. Young people are always looking for change. Change is really a double entendre for: we have no ideas, no plans, no alternatives, but we want the reins and the power, so vote for change. I am sure it goes back further, but Clinton was famous for … Read more
The ads and the soundbites have been overflowing with accusations. If you believe the Democrats, every Republican has just a few things on their agenda. First, every negative data point is Donald Trump’s fault. It doesn’t matter whether it is the cost at the pumps or a gallon of milk; it is all Trump’s doing. … Read more
Political polls have become less accurate over the last 20 years, and I question whether they should be part of the process or stopped altogether. A few factors contribute to the decline in accuracy and credibility. Years ago, when most people still had a landline, polling was somewhat easier than today’s guessing game. Someone could … Read more
Politics and governing should never be confused. One is how a particular Party manages a city or state; the other is how the other Party distorts success and uses lies and deception to instill fear in supporters to win votes. Politics has always been a rough game, but it has evolved into a blood sport … Read more
Accusations are flying from both sides about the government’s weaponization for political gain. We know that there have been behind-the-scenes actions taken against opponents for years; look up Watergate on Google. But the modern version has its roots in the Obama administration. Whether out of seeking power over the opposition or outright fear, Obama used … Read more
Let’s take a look at the ridiculous hysteria the mainstream media is experiencing this week. Actually, every week is the same when it comes to Left-Wing media meltdowns. To be fair, hysteria is only second to TDS as a communicable disease on the networks. The Monday morning raid on Congresswoman Ilhan Omar’s residence in Washington … Read more
There is little debate that the New Democrats despise this country. They hold America in such little regard that you have to question why they want to become a part of the system except to be a component of the destruction of America from within the halls of the People’s House, the Capitol. We still … Read more
I split my time between Maine and New Hampshire, so I see campaign ads for every candidate running in both states. If you paid attention to all of these media gems, you would sit out the election out of frustration. The ads are so negative and accusatory that, if you take them at face value, … Read more
The Department of Homeland Security executed a federal judge-approved search warrant at Congresswoman Ilhan Omar’s (D-MN) Washington, D.C., residence. This action triggered the Democrats and brought out the typical vocabulary of weaponization and election manipulation, one, of course, racism. For Democrats, it is not the crime; it is the color of the accused and the … Read more
Forget Lack of respect; this is Pure Hatred and Ignorance. The scenes are horrific. If we were not told otherwise, the video could be from any third-world Middle Eastern country. France is burning, and England is smoldering. The ignorant and entitled adolescents have taken to the streets once again to do as they are told, … Read more
FOX News celebrated its 30th anniversary. That is quite a milestone for this much-maligned news organization. There are many reasons for this angst, or maybe it is jealousy, because this network is consistently on top of the monthly ratings, and it exposes the liberal bias of every other left-leaning network. One could argue that if … Read more
This was not a good week for New York City Mayor Mamdani. That is soft peddling reality. It could be the worst week an elected official ever had, where everything he said and did dug a deeper hole with some group. If this were a campaign week for Zohran Mamdani, he would be dropping out … Read more
