Politics, Covid, Hope
Don Surber has a feel good summary of the Midterm prospects this morning. He works off the RCP projections, which we can safely assume slant Dem—because of the data input. They’re projecting a 53-47 GOP Senate and an easy win for the GOP in the House—Don actually suggests that the GOP win in the House could be the biggest since 1928. There’s lots more here: 2022 brings seismic changes. Don goes into individual states, demographic issues, and so forth.
What strikes me is that already a couple of weeks ago—a month out from the elections—the Dems seemed to be throwing in the towel, as the momentum shifted Right. That’s way early to be giving up, but it was as if Dems knew that the abortion/J6 strategy was so bankrupt that there simply was no longer a point—not with the chaotic failures on every other issue—and that the Zhou millstone around their necks was just too heavy. Today brought a story that James Clyburn actually admitted that inflation has been the fault of the Dems. And there’s still 2-1/2 weeks of momentum shift and Dem voter discouragement to go. Don concludes:
Midterms go to the party out of power unless circumstances are unusual. The only thing unusual this year is how quickly the wheels came off the Biden administration.
The story is how the damage Biden did to his party will last. In hindsight in 2025, Democrats may wonder if they would have been better off just to let Trump get his second term and wait Republicans out.
Now, Covid.
Most readers have probably heard about the shameful CDC vote (15-0) to, in essence, enable injection mandates for children starting at 6 mos.
Now, the CDC did their best to gaslight the public about the significance of what they did, but no sentient human life form was fooled. Certainly not Karl Denninger, who got this totally right:
Do You Live In the Wrong State?
The CDC's "advisory" panel has effectively mandated Covid jabs for school children in many states.
I say "effectively" because they claim they have done no such thing; their role is "advisory."
But -- its not. Several states actually turn that "advice" into law, and yet The Coof is unique in this regard.
The problem with all of this, at its core, is that the CDC doesn't give a crap about whether kids are at serious risk from this disease (healthy children are not; it is less of a risk than the flu and there is no mandate to take a flu shot for school) and unlike the flu shot these jabs all have a litany of significant and very serious potential adverse effects including myocarditis and other serious cardiopulmonary harm.
…
I remind you that the latest "updated" shot was tested on..... eight mice. Not one human. There is exactly zero evidence that it either works or is safe in human beings. Yes, they're mice engineered to be "human like" but they're not human beings and you have to be a special brand of crazy to take anything that has as its "test base" only eight mice -- and zero humans.
…
The reason the CDC's panel did this is nakedly obvious: Only by putting the jab into the childhood schedule do the makers get legal immunity from lawsuits if it kills or injures your child -- or your Grandma -- once the EUA authorizations expire and they will expire whenever the Covid "emergency" expires.
Follow the link for more. But, as KD says, it’s about the money. And Big Pharma is quite willing to kill kids if the money is right.
Here’s the hope.
That Red Wave that’s due to sweep into the House will be coming with a mandate to investigate all sorts of stuff and with lots of scores to settle. They will have the votes and the public outrage to back them up. There’s a good chance that they will take a deep dive into the Covid Regime, because they owe nothing to those people. Moreover, they will have every reason—as well as the means—to shut off the money flow from the government to the Dems’ special interest astro turfed organizations. And to turn the screws on corporations that have sponsored them.
I know this will all take time, but a further reason for hope is the role of the Trump judges, especially at the Appellate level. You may have seen this story earlier in the week, which looks like it could turn into another major victory:
Another Appeals Court Finds Progressive Consumer Financial Protection Bureau Unconstitutional
This is very big, because Sundance is absolutely correct about this:
Essentially, the CFPB is a congressionally authorized far-left extortion scheme in the banking sector. The CFPB levies fines; the fines generate income; however, unlike traditional fines that go to the U.S. treasury, the CFBP fines are then redistributed to left-wing organizations to help fund their political activism.
Thanks to Trump, even with Dems incontrol of Congress and the WH, we are still winning.
We also saw the SCOTUS turn in several major victories last term that promise to go a long way toward restoring some semblance of constitutional government as the implications of these rulings are worked out. There are more major cases making their way to the SCOTUS this term. The SCOTUS’ balance of action and inaction can be frustrating, but the Red Wave should embolden even Roberts.
All this, of course, is due to Trump. But for Trump, Hillary would have won and packed the courts with activists progs. Trump’s legislative achievements would not have happened. The energization of previously apathetic normals would not have developed, and there would be no Red Wave.
There is hope, and there is much to look forward to. But it requires votes to make it come true.

The polling "bounce" experienced by Dems in Aug and Sept was a fraud perpetrated by the media/polling companies. It was fabricated with the samples, and done to try to create a public impression Dems were recovering in their standing with voters.
It was all faked.

Durham and Barr apologists should ask themselves why such a great prosecutor brought such a weak case only to lose for public exposure of FBI corruption. UMM, WHY not LOSE charging the FBI? Your theories make no sense.
