Everything We Thought We Knew About Elections

Have you noticed lately that we can't rely on the past to guide us through this election? Changes are definitely happening. For one thing, we appear to be in the process of a major racial realignment, in which black and Latino voters are shifting to the Republican Party. Joe Biden's 2020 advantage among black voters has declined by over 20% in various polls. We're also seeing younger people undergoing the same shift. Things have changed so dramatically that it's likely to affect how Democrats campaign. We're already seeing it happen. Last week, we learned that an influential data scientist had warned major Democratic donors in a confidential memo

It's easy to figure out why so many people of all sorts are not in favor of democrats. When you have Bill Clinton, Barack Obama, and now Joe Biden to to lead us into a recession, 2 wars, and ilegals roaming the country breaking out laws and bringing in Fentanyl is it any wonder ? The worst president ever------------ever.

I cannot abide articles and pundits talking about elections as if the data, polling, statistics, demographics, etc. matter. The only thing—the ONLY thing—that matters is will the democrats get away with cheating again.

Time to Rethink Your Never Trumpism 12 replies

Okay, my Trump-shy friends, it’s time to put aside your fussy principles about how icky Donald Trump is. This is serious, and we need all hands on deck to throw Biden overboard before he gets a whole lot more Americans killed. I get that you don’t like Trump. Let’s agree that he’s icky for the purposes of this discussion. Let’s agree that his tweets are mean, that he’s not a conservative ideologue, that he says dumb things and gets into useless fights, and that he does many other unseemly and annoying things. Let’s agree that this is all true. Let’s concede that in normal times,

This week, the Louisiana Senate voted in support of a measure that would allow state and local police to arrest anyone suspected of being in the United States illegally. This follows in the footsteps of other states that have enacted similar measures as illegal immigrants continue to come across the border. Advertisement According to Fox 8 Live, the state Senate voted 28-11 in support of S.B. 388. It now heads to the state House of Representatives (via Fox 8): The measure calls for local and state police to do the job typically done by federal Immigration and Customs Enforcement officers,

Conservative criminal defense attorney and columnist Marina Medvin called it a "devastating Hostage negotiations update" because that's exactly what it is. In the ongoing negotiations between Israel and the Hamas terror organization, Hamas officials now say that "they wouldn’t commit to releasing 40 living hostages but could commit to 40 hostages total, dead or alive." Medvin added, "Israeli military did not comment on estimates of how many hostages may remain alive." "Instead, the militant group has been unable to confirm that it has enough civilian hostages to fulfill its end of the deal in the initial phase of the proposed plan," according to the Wall Street Journal.

"Our commitment to Israel's security against these threats from Iran and its proxies is ironclad," Presidentish Joe Biden said at a joint press conference Wednesday with Japanese Prime Minister Fumio Kishida. "Let me say it again: ironclad." Biden mumbled those meaningless words one day after demanding that Israel give Iran's Hamas proxies a unilateral ceasefire. "What I'm calling for is for the Israelis to just call for a ceasefire, allow for the next six, eight weeks total access to all food and medicine going into the country," without even a "pretty please release a hostage or two" for Hamas.

On Tuesday, I reported on the Seattle-area 11-year-old girl who wasn’t allowed to form a faith group even though her school welcomed a Pride group, a “Green” team, and many other clubs. Is it something in the water that turns so many residents of Washington into America-hating, left-wing zealots? The Evergreen State is once again in the news as the Borderline Dance Team was forced out of the Emerald City Hoedown in Seattle Saturday, not because their act was profane, not because they broke the rules—but because their uniforms depicted the American flag. Evidently, the symbol of our country is too much for these wokesters.

Homeland Security Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas appeared before lawmakers on Capitol Hill Wednesday as Congress considers 2025 budget requests from the executive branch, and Senator John Kennedy (R-LA) was ready to go when his time to ask the impeached Biden administration official some questions. "It gives me no joy to say this, but most Republicans don't trust you," Sen. Kennedy said to Mayorkas. "A vast majority of the American people don't trust you — that's why you've been impeached," he reminded. "Now, my Democratic colleagues are going to try and sweep your impeachment under the rug and violate 200 years of Senate precedent in doing it," continued Sen. Kennedy,

Last week, Ohio Secretary of State Frank LaRose informed the Ohio Democratic Party that Joe Biden may be left off the state's presidential ballot because the Dems would miss a crucial deadline to certify their presidential candidate. The Democratic National Convention occurs on Aug. 19, while the deadline to certify Biden's nomination so he can appear on the Ohio ballot is Aug. 7. LaRose told the Democrats they could either move the convention date or get the Ohio legislature to waive the deadline. Now, a similar problem has emerged in the state of Alabama. Alabama's Republican Secretary of State Wes Allen sent a letter to the state Democratic Party

How many federal agencies and officials knew ahead of time that the government was working with a private partner and the Chinese lab from which COVID-19 likely originated? According to Sen. Rand Paul (R-Ky.), potentially hundreds of U.S. federal employees knew that COVID-19 could have been a result of American and Chinese development in a lab. “How vast was the Great COVID Cover-up?” asked Paul in a Fox News piece on April 9. “Well, my investigation has recently discovered government officials from 15 federal agencies knew in 2018 that the Wuhan Institute of Virology was trying to create a coronavirus like COVID-19.” Paul, who is conducting an ongoing investigation,

Robert F. Kennedy Jr.'s decision to select entrepreneur Nicole Shanahan as his running mate sent Democrats into a panic and justifiably so. Instead of opting for a centrist or moderate conservative to forge a strong unity ticket, Kennedy chose a radical leftist, which could only make the ticket more attractive to progressives who don’t want to vote for Joe Biden. The pick would also certainly alienate conservatives who were considering backing Kennedy in November as an alternative to Donald Trump. The panic and desperation continue. Rep. Ro Khanna (D-Calif.) is urging Shanahan to consider stepping aside because he’s concerned that the independent ticket will be a spoiler for Biden

It's hard to believe that the Democrats seem to have decided to go all in with Joe Biden at this point when even the simplest ceremonial exercise is fraught with potential for exposing his issues. I think there's a reason his schedule tends to be very light. We reported earlier on the Univision interview that he gave where he needed a cheat sheet. How bad is it? It isn't just with interview questions where he needs a cheat sheet; it's even with the most perfunctory remarks in recognizing the Japanese Prime Minister Fumio Kishida during their brief photo-op sit-down for reporters.

We truly live in the most absurd timeline, and that was proven again on Tuesday after MSNBC interviewed Michael Avenatti from prison to garner his "legal analysis" on Donald Trump. Once touted as a possible presidential candidate by liberal news networks due to his rabid criticism of the former president, Avenatti is currently in the clink due to multiple convictions spanning everything from extortion to embezzlement. You would think that would make him persona non grata among journalistic outlets, but you'd be mistaken. Thus, Ari Melber interviewed Avenatti, a convicted felon who is sitting in prison, as if he were a credible legal authority. You know what? Why not?

O.J. Simpson, the former football great who was accused of and ultimately acquitted of the brutal 1994 slayings of his ex-wife and her friend, has died, according to his family. He was 76. "On April 10th, our father, Orenthal James Simpson, succumbed to his battle with cancer. He was surrounded by his children and grandchildren. During this time of transition, his family asks that you please respect their wishes for privacy and grace," a statement from his family said. In May 2023, Simpson posted a video on X, then known as Twitter, revealing that he had recently "caught cancer" and "had to do the whole chemo thing."

The commander of a US Navy warship is apparently a not-so-sharpshooter. A commanding officer of the USS John S. McCain, an Arleigh Burke-class guided missile destroyer, was mocked online after he was photographed holding an assault weapon with its scope mounted backward as he took aim at a target known as a “killer tomato.” Cmdr. Cameron Yaste “observes the live-fire exercise event. The ship is in U.S. 7th Fleet conducting routine operations,” read a caption posted by Defense Visual Information Distribution Service alongside an image of him holding up the weapon with the Trijicon VCOG scope installed backward while pointed at a large target balloon.

Iran has warned the Biden White House that if the United States interferes in its anticipated retaliatory strike against Israel, the United States will become a legitimate target for Iranian terrorism. According to the anti-American and pro-Hamas website The Intercept, "On Monday night, Iran conveyed to the Biden administration that if it involved itself in defending Israel were Tehran to undertake a retaliatory strike, it would consider the United States a viable target as well. The issue was discussed at a Tuesday NSC meeting, according to notes reviewed by The Intercept. (The NSC did not respond to a request for comment.)"

The proposed bailout comes as prominent stages are facing unprecedented financial crises following their embrace of woke identity politics, which has alienated audiences and donors. Among the companies poised to receive the new federal dollars would be New York’s Public Theater, which staged the gruesome stabbing death of President Donald Trump in its infamous 2017 production of Shakespeare’s Julius Caesar.

Department of Homeland Security (DHS) Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas says it is “preposterous” to suggest that President Joe Biden is importing millions of migrants to the United States to inflate political power in favor of Democrats. During a Senate budget hearing on Wednesday, Sen. John Kennedy (R-LA) asked Mayorkas if it is a fact “that the number of illegal immigrants that you and the president allow into our country counts for congressional district reapportionment?” Mayorkas initially responded, saying “I’m not sure I understand your question but I can surely share with you that I disagree with its phrasing.”

Speaker Mike Johnson (R-LA) on Wednesday explained his apparent flip-flop on a controversial surveillance law, saying that he now favors limited reforms after receiving a classified briefing. Speaker Johnson was asked by reporters why he changed his opinion on reforming Section 702 of the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act (FISA), a controversial surveillance law that is meant to target foreign adversaries, but often surveils Americans’ communications without a warrant. Johnson this week came out against a warrant requirement for Section 702 and moved not to allow an amendment that would have barred intelligence and law enforcement agencies from purchasing Americans’ private information through third-party data brokers.
