Reporting on the upcoming Midterm Election continues to be very positive for the GOP. Multiple sources—including one quoted in The New Yorker—are suggesting that the building Red Wave may reach tsunami proportions. I have nothing to add to those predictions, but Conrad Black offers his own view on the bigger picture here. It comes in a longish article at the New York Sun, the link to which I picked up from
Turley: "Federal judges (including many appointed by then-President Trump) uniformly rejected challenges to the election [1]; the Supreme Court, with six conservative justices, repeatedly ruled against Trump — including all three of his appointees. [2]"
[1] Wrong. Rejections for standing, mootness, etc. were transparent avoidance.
[2] Wrong. They ran and hid or averted their eyes.
Turley doesn't do a bourbon neat and tell us what he really thinks because--at the end of the day--he's a coward like all the others who won't tell the truth for fear of ostracism. He has to know that both of those statements are false. He's just a CS who doesn't want to kill his sweet pundit gig.
U.S. National Security Adviser Jake Sullivan had discussions with top aides to Vladimir Putin, including Yuri Ushakov, Putin's foreign-policy adviser and Security Council secretary Nikolai Patrushev
DeSantis endorsing the guy in Colorado—who is pledging to campaign against Trump—seems to me to have been a foolish move that undercuts DeSantis’ own credibility and doesn’t help the party. Another squish “moderate” with no convictions is not what the GOP or the country needs. " Does that refer to DeSantis or the guy from Colorado? Is it possible that Trump desires neither vindication nor vengeance, or even justice, but is acting through a sincere desire to save the country?
And now Ronna McDaniel says that if the Republicans take back the House and Senate that they need to work across the aisle with Joe Biden!! And she still has her job because?
Is the "US" (1) announcing a good faith desire to negotiate an end to this insane war...or is it (2) simply virtue signalling to justify its continuing support for the most deserving Ukrainians...or is it (3) simply playing for more time in a cynical war of attrition which it has no intention of abandoning.
Since it is impossible to 'trust' the "US", it is impossible to know which this is.
The Democrats will evaluate where they stand around 2 a.m. Wednesday morning- any race anywhere (House or Senate) that their candidate is less than 2% behind will be targeted for counting "late" ballots, with the DoJ and selected federal courts ordering the continued counting to "save" democracy. There will enough such Senate races for the Democrats to target and steal at least 2 new seats, and probably enough such House races to retain a bare majority.
While inflation and its impact on the economy has to be the most important reason to vote democrats out of office, my view is that many voters want accountability from these same democrats who locked them down, shuttered their schools resulting in two years of limited learning, picked winners and losers as to which businesses could remain open, and invoked tyrannical vaccine and facemask mandates. And while pollsters concentrate on inflation, crime, the economy, and abortion, I never saw a poll question that asked if those who lied to them during the 'pandemic' and acted like tyrants should be held accountable for their actions and how that would affect their vote.
This will be the first national election cycle where many of the culprits will face the voters and one can only hope they feel their wrath at the ballot box.
“In the meantime the House needs to defund the Dem funding of prog groups around the country and do some serious investigating and impeaching.”
I wish that I was confident that that is what will happen, but I’m just not fully convinced that the entrenched establishment lowlifes like McConnell and his supporters are going to be all in with that agenda. Those people did nothing but frustrate and outright sabotage almost everything DJT tried to do and the desires and wants of the American people be damned! ( I’m not overlooking the accomplishments that were made in the judiciary-personally think Mitch might have some regrets about that) I still remember McConnell saying he didn’t want to hear any talk about “draining the swamp!”, and from what I can gather, he pretty much has no use for Trump or his supporters. Furthermore, I think that he and a host of other establishment types are arrogant enough to think that they can still throw an administrative wrench into anything that the “new guys” try and accomplish.
I’d be more than happy to be proven wrong, and believe me, nothing would make me happier than to see these clowns get what they so richly deserve. At the end of the day, I’d love to know-with apologies to Sydney Pollack and Wilfred Brimley- “At the end of the day, gonna be two things true that ain’t true now. I’m gonna know what the hell went on and I’m gonna have somebody’s ass in my briefcase!”
You are going to see an epic battle after Tuesday night as the Democrats intend to keep counting new ballots wherever they feel they need to on Tuesday night.

I take no position on whether Zelensky is ungrateful, but note that sooner or later, the Biden Administration seems to quarrel with everyone.

But I wouldn't bet much money on Door #1.

Note to CONgress & DOD,
Expensive does not equate to Effective as far as weapons systems are concerned, and obsolete systems are only useful for target practice or training.
