Signs the Blue Wave May Not Happen Next Year

Original Article

Posted By: Dreadnought, 8/5/2025 12:04:07 AM

Politico published a story yesterday saying that Democrats are counting on a blue wave to carry them back to power next year. Unfortunately for Democrats there are already warning signs that wave may not happen. Recent polling shows Democrats are still struggling to regain their footing with voters who lurched right in 2024, and that’s compounded by growing gaps in fundraising, an increasing number of messy primaries and a congressional map that Republicans are redrawing to make it harder for Democrats to win.

I don’t want to be a downer here, but Americans tend to prefer divided government. All presidents lose seats in their first term, and the Trump whirlwind is unlike anything seen before. The Democrats are furious because the Big Beautiful Bill only affects those that pay taxes while the idle social parasites get nothing. Federal employees that lost their jobs will certainly vote. As aliens are pulled off the streets and sent to Alligator Alcatraz or Louisiana the Latinos will rethink their Republican shift because of the sob stories or perhaps because Americans want their Marihuana picked right. Welfare for PhDs in Universities employs large numbers of people and NGOs through Federal Grants.Teacher Unions are seething because of School Choice tax credits. Karens that need their illegal nannies are attacking ICE agents trying to remove murderers and rapists. PBS and NPR are finally defunded. Planned Parenthood diminished. The cash flow to USAID communist NGOs has also ended. Muslims want the Gaza racial cleansing of their people to end. Student Loans will start being paid again. All these happenings represent red meat for US, but for the Others they are reasons to walk over broken glass and vote against MAGA. Dear President Donald J.Trump is governing at a frenetic pace likely because he realizes all good laws will have to be passed before the midterms.

The stupidity of the American voter has been known to snatch defeat from the jaws of victory more than once. Our school systems from K to PhD have produced many such people over the past few decades and the free stuff they have lost will be a factor. I don't anticipate a blue wave but I'm keeping the kayaks out and ready.

A lot will depend on what the economy and the jobs market look like and how much more the dems are exposed for the dirty rotten lying elitist thieves that they are. Those voters who lurched right ain't going back. How can you say, "I've had enough of what makes sense and is good, I'm going back to foolishness and evil"?

If Democrats win the House next year it will not be a divided government. It will be a gridlock and two valuable years wasted. I think the voters are aware of what is involved and will behave accordingly. Another factor is Republican enthusiasm. And a third is preventing Democrat access to instruments vote fraud.

Let's get down to brass tacks (and it should be blasted by the Trump admin and the RNC). If dems win the House, Trump will face impeachment every other day for the rest of his term. He will be a lame duck his last two years in office.

The blue wave WILL happen if WE sit on our butts and fail to acknowledge that 2020 was not a landslide victory but only represented a difference of 4% of the total vote. WE cannot afford to lose mid-terms. America cannot afford it either.

The result of Nixon attempting to protect those who had committed the Watergate break ins (they didn't get caught the first time) was that ALL republicans were tarred and feathered regardless that they were NOT involved. It was a different time then than now, and one has to wonder IF the fraud, sleaze, corruption, financial destruction for political gain and treasonous acts and their protectors and co-conspirators in the media NOT reporting the facts that have come to light will still have the same effect on the demonrat socialist Marxists. Breitbart said that "politics is down stream from Culture" and the last 20 years has seen the unique American Culture DESTROYED in a concentrated effort to make the average main-stream citizen seem outside of what is NORMAL and has to be removed for consideration in every aspect of life in these 'United' States/ This is why people are leaving the corrupt States in droves for normal life that still exists

Happy voters don't vote. Enraged voters will crawl over broken glass to vote. If the dems win in 26, it will be because contented happy Republicans stayed home.

The New York Post is going Hollywood. The nation’s most popular tabloid will launch The California Post early next year — delivering its brand of fearless, common-sense journalism and legendary headlines at a critical juncture for the Golden State. “Los Angeles and California surely need a daily dose of The Post as an antidote to the jaundiced, jaded journalism that has sadly proliferated,” said Robert Thomson, CEO of The Post’s parent company, News Corp. “We are at a pivotal moment for the city and the state, and there is no doubt that The Post will play a crucial role in engaging and enlightening readers, who are starved of serious reporting and puckish wit.”

Silicon Valley is rushing to work with the military on advanced technology solutions after decades of turning their nose up at the idea of helping to defend America. Companies like Google, infamous for its woke leftist employee base, now seem open to partnering with the Pentagon on high tech defense programs. The New York Times reports that over the past two years, Silicon Valley’s leaders and investors have plunged headfirst into the defense market, marking a significant cultural shift in the tech industry. Companies like Meta, Google, and OpenAI, which once had policies banning the use of artificial intelligence in weapons, have now removed

President Donald Trump suggested that Vice President JD Vance could “most likely” be the “heir apparent” to lead the Make American Great Again (MAGA) movement. When asked by Fox News’s Peter Doocy if he thought Vance was the “heir apparent to MAGA,” Trump pointed out that Vance is currently the vice president. Trump also floated a possible ticket with Vance and Secretary of State Marco Rubio. “You said this morning that you probably won’t be running for a third term. This weekend, Secretary of State Rubio said that he thought JD Vance would be a great nominee,” Doocy said. “You could clear the entire Republican field right now

JPMorgan and Bank of America “debanked” President Trump for his role in the January 6 Capitol Hill melee following pressure from the Biden administration’s banking regulators and the Federal Reserve, people with direct knowledge of the matter tell The Post. The exact reason for Trump and his tens of millions of dollars in holdings being kicked off the JPMorgan banking platform, and then denied access to Bank of America’s services has yet to be reported. But sources at the banks — the No. 1 and No. 2 largest in the US in terms of assets — confirmed the cause stemmed from the controversy surrounding Trump’s actions that day, and threats

Sen. Adam Schiff, the man who never missed a chance to lecture America about ethics and accountability, is now the focus of a full-blown federal criminal investigation. On Tuesday, the U.S. Attorney’s Office in Maryland, hardly a bastion of right-wing activism, revealed it is actively pursuing Schiff for alleged mortgage fraud. This isn’t some garden-variety political dustup—Schiff faces accusations that he repeatedly lied about his primary residence on federally backed mortgage applications spanning over a decade, from 2009 through 2020. While representing California in Congress, Schiff allegedly listed a Maryland property as his primary address to secure more favorable terms on his loans. Simultaneously,

Recall this old joke? A man who asks a pretty woman if she would sleep with him for a million dollars, and she gives an enthusiastic yes. He then pulls $100 out of his wallet, and she takes offense, saying, "What do you think I am?" The man replies, "We've already established that. Now we're just negotiating the price." Harvard has taken equal offense at negotiations over price. Last week, the New York Times reported that Harvard might be willing to settle their dispute with the Trump administration for $500 million, but only if all the federal funding was restored and the Department of Education

It's becoming a trend among Democrats. As immigrants from third-world countries have started getting elected in the woke areas, they freely admit that their political priorities are not about improving America, but instead are focused on their fellow countrymen in this and their home countries. Ilhan Omar regularly speaks in Somali to transplanted Somali migrants. Omar Fateh, the Democratic-Farmer-Labor (Minnesota Democrats) candidate for Minneapolis Mayor, declared his allegiance to Somalia and Somalis, and now Representative Delia Ramirez of Illinois declares that she is a Guatemalan before she is American.

President Trump early Tuesday touted an appeals court ruling upholding Texas’s requirement that voters to provide a driver’s license or other identification number for their mail ballot to be counted. “THIS IS GREAT NEWS!!! Should be Nationwide!!! President DJT” Trump wrote on Truth Social. A three-judge panel on the U.S. Court of Appeals for the 5th Circuit unanimously ruled on Monday the requirement does not violate a provision of the Civil Rights Act of 1964, which prevents states from denying a person’s right to vote over paperwork errors that are not “material.”

President Trump has had enough of the out-of-control violent crime in the District of Columbia, not to mention the exceptionally soft sentences being handed to offenders, and is threatening to "federalize" the Democrat-run city if nothing is done to address the problems. This comes after a DOGE staffer was severely beaten when he came to the aid of a woman being attacked by a rampaging mob of teen boys. Trump took to Truth Social to put Democrat Mayor Muriel Bowser and the city council on notice that something needs to be done immediately—and if they won't do it, he will.

Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has decided to order a full military occupation of the Gaza Strip to force Hamas to free the hostages, according to local reports. The expansion of the war would see the military, which already controls about 75% of Gaza, take over the remaining areas and conduct operations where the hostages are believed to be held, the Jerusalem Post reported. The move was reportedly made without the input of the Israeli military’s chief of staff Eyal Zamir — with Netanyahu instructing him to fall in line or resign, according to the internal memo sent out.
