AUSTIN, TX — Bored of having a good state that people love, Texans have reportedly flocked to the polls in record numbers to try voting Democrat for a change. According to sources, voters believe Texas has had it good for far too long. "We're the envy of most states, and everyone wants to move here. I'm sick of it!" said Duke "Big Bull" Clayton. "It's become so dull, having freedom and a growing economy. We need a change of pace, something to really make our lives miserable." According to polls, Democratic Senate candidate James Talarico has built a significant lead...

President Trump said that he was in 'no rush' to decide whether to resume fighting Iran on the eve of the midterm elections. Speaking to Axios on Monday afternoon, he said: 'One way or the other, we will do something, but there is no rush. We crippled them financially. They have no money, no gasoline and their people are getting very tired of it.'... The president held the final rally of his nationwide, 28-stop midterm campaign yesterday in Salina, Kansas as he sought to shore up Republican support and preserve the party's congressional majorities.

I said last night on News 24, I expect the Democrats to make a net gain of 25 or more seats in the House and take control of that chamber. I think they will fall short in the Senate, but I could be wrong: it is entirely possible that they could gain four or more seats and take control of that body, too. What will the reaction in the press be, especially if the Democrats do eke out a Senate majority? You will be told that Trumpism has been repudiated. That Trump’s second term is as good as over. You...

Democrats could flip control of several state legislatures in key battlegrounds in Tuesday's midterm elections, as Nate Silver said the latest rounds of polls from The New York Times point to a “blue tsunami.” Republicans currently hold a majority of state legislatures. But Democrats are hopeful that could change on Election Day, when the GOP is facing increasingly difficult national headwinds fueled by President Donald Trump’s declining approval rating and voter frustrations with the state of the economy. The latest ratings from Sabato’s Crystal Ball gave Democrats a chance of winning legislative majorities in states like Arizona, Georgia, Michigan and...

WASHINGTON — In a loss for President Donald Trump, the Supreme Court on Monday swiftly rejected the administration’s request that California separate out up to 20,000 mail-in ballots that officials allege could be submitted by noncitizens. The court in a brief order turned away without explanation an emergency request filed just hours earlier by the Trump administration as part of an unusual last-minute flurry of election litigation. Lower courts had also ruled against the Trump administration. The court acted so quickly it did not even ask California for its views first, as it normally does in such cases. California officials...

Likely voters who decided which candidate to support only recently in seven key Senate races favor Republicans despite an overall Democratic advantage, according to a new poll released Sunday night. “There are still some undecided voters, and voters who decided only in the last month favored Republicans by a nine-point margin,” according to the New York Times’s reporting of its last poll conducted alongside Siena University that will be released before Tuesday’s midterm elections. The survey found that the Democratic candidates running in Michigan, Texas, Maine, Ohio, and Kansas are ahead of their Republican counterparts by 11, 7, 6, 5,...

Risks growing as diplomatic efforts remain stalled and Iran threatens unrestrained retaliation DUBAI—America’s Gulf allies are steeling themselves for a heavy U.S. bombardment of Iran that they expect to trigger a vicious cycle of retaliation against their own economic and civilian infrastructure as early as this week.The Trump administration and Arab mediators are making a number of efforts to reach a negotiated end to the conflict. But the lack of progress paired with U.S. and Iranian threats of especially ferocious fighting if the conflict resurges are heightening concerns across the region.President Trump has been leaning toward a large postelection attack...

There are nearly 10,000 dead people on Los Angeles County, California’s active voter rolls, the Public Interest Legal Foundation (PILF) alleges in a Help America Vote Act complaint filed with state election officials. The complaint raises serious concerns about California’s voter registration maintenance ahead of tomorrow’s midterm elections. Among the allegations, PILF lawyers “identified 9,766 potentially deceased active voter registrants” in Los Angeles County. In addition, 1,279 duplicate registrations are also allegedly on Los Angeles County’s voter rolls, as well as 1,340 registrants with fictitious birth dates and over 700 registrants with birth dates that make them at least 110...

Texas voter: “I’m a Republican. I’m an old school Reagan Republican, and I believe personal integrity means things. And so I support people that have good personal integrity, and I like James Talarico. He is the kind of guy we need in office.”

There are nearly 2,500 registrants listed as at least 110 years old on Michigan’s voter rolls, a Help America Vote Act (HAVA) complaint from the Public Interest Legal Foundation (PILF) alleges. The complaint, filed late last month, accuses Michigan officials of keeping 2,461 registrants on the state’s voter rolls despite their birth years being listed as at least 110 years old — 47 of which have birth years in the 1800s. One such registrant’s birth year is listed as 1823, 14 years before Michigan became a state. PILF lawyers said they warned about the registrant in 2019, but the registrant...

A deadly Learjet crash in South Florida has taken an even more troubling turn. Federal investigators now say evidence at the scene indicates pieces of the aircraft separated before the jet slammed into a mobile home community near Greenacres on Sunday. Nine people aboard the plane were killed. The finding does not establish why the aircraft went down. It gives the National Transportation Safety Board a critical new trail to follow as investigators reconstruct the jet’s final moments. Transportation Secretary Sean Duffy summarized the first confirmed facts after the crash: Today's plane crash in Palm Beach County, Florida is a...

The constellation of different committees have overlapping big donors and fund the same candidates—El Sayed and some likeminded far-left House candidates who hate Israel.

Whenever a Republican crosses over to vote for a Democrat, you can bet on at least one of two things happening: the Democrats applaud this brave act of putting country over party or we learn that the so-called "lifelong Republican" was not. In this case, we learned that the Republican who penned an op-ed in The Dallas Morning News was actually a paid operative for Gina Hinojosa. But what The Dallas Morning News didn't dig into was that the writer, Suzanne Bellsnyder, received $57,000 in consulting payments from the Gina Hinojosa campaign.
