All the talk of a “blue wave” is nothing more than a fantasy the Socialistic Democrats tell themselves for comfort. The Democrats may have at one time had a chance as historically the party that does not control the White House takes control of the House and sometimes the Senate in the midterm elections. This time, the Democrats have sunk the ship before it even had a chance to leave the harbor. This writer has said for a long time now, although I unfortunately did not put it in writing – that the Republicans will win seats in the House...

**SNIP** "I am like, 'hey, we are fighting for universal care, for tuition-free public college, we are fighting for a living wage,' and you see that kind of defense mechanism kind of come down." But in America at large, such politics are pretty radical. She is a Democratic Socialist in the vein of failed 2016 presidential hopeful Bernie Sanders, on whose campaign she worked. Ocasio-Cortez has compared the fight against climate change to the fight against Nazi Germany in World War II, calling it a "major existential threat" and has likened electing Democrats to ending slavery. The right has branded...

I have a friend who always drinks his coffee black with no sugar (and is rather pretentious about it, mind you), and whenever the server asks him if he wants milk, he makes the same joke: “I’ll take it black, like my soul.” Now, a new study published in the journal Appetite suggests there may be something to that. Researchers at the University of Innsbruck in Austria asked more than 1,000 men and women to self-report their taste preferences and answer a questionnaire that assessed their Machiavellianism, psychopathy, narcissism, everyday sadism, trait aggression, and the Big Five factors of personality....

Students at Florida State University were supporting their local candidates and one woman was not happy with it. She approached the college Republicans and threw her drink on one of them while she ranted about stuff. They did not retaliate on her. She then kicks a sign as she walks away. Full video on source.

Some political observers in the United States are saying that next week’s midterm voting for seats in the Senate and House of Representatives as well as a number of governorships is the most important national election since those in 1968 and 1980. The 1968 voting saw a “law and order” Richard Nixon win the presidency in a rebuke to Lyndon Johnson’s “soft” handling of the civil rights and anti-Vietnam war movements while Ronald Reagan won in 1980 at a time of economic turmoil, in part running on a similar “get-tough” platform to replace the seemingly hapless and indecisive Jimmy Carter....

In a creative way to focus on the potential impeachment of President Donald Trump — the lack of high crimes and misdemeanors notwithstanding — NBC anchor Chuck Todd played a clip of the president talking about what he believes will then happen. To that possibility, Michael Steel, a former aide to then-Speaker John Boehner, stated the obvious in saying if Democrats take control of the House in the midterm elections, impeachment “will happen.” “So here’s President Trump. He loves talking about impeachment,” a smarmy Todd said before playing the video clip Sunday on “Meet the Press.” He then asked Steel...

MIDTERM polls are pointing towards a Congress flip on November 6, as discontent with President Donald Trump reigns among the US public. What would happen if the Democrats won in the House of Representatives? The House of Representatives and the Senate are both up for reelection on November 6, with both chambers sporting a total of 470 free seats altogether. The available 435 seats on the House of Representatives mean every member is to be replaced, so Democrats have a valuable opportunity to wrestle control. If this was to happen, Donald Trump’s job would become immediately more difficult. The Republicans...

Wisconsin Rep. Sean Duffy (R) says it's inevitable that Democrats will try to impeach President Trump if they retake the House in the fall, adding that the media would pressure lawmakers into supporting impeachment. In an interview with Milwaukee radio host Dan O'Donnell, Duffy said that while Democrats in more purple districts are hesitant to say they will support Trump's impeachment, he believes it will happen if the party defeats enough Republicans in November. "Democrat candidates might be sketchy about admitting that, especially in more 50-50 seats, but of course they're going to impeach Donald Trump," Duffy said. "Do you...

An image posted on Facebook, Reddit, 4Chan, and Twitter (a.k.a., the usual suspects) this weekend claimed to be of the “PIPE BOMBER SUSPECT pictured last year” during “a banquet and [had] a photo OP with a Democrat Donor/Supporter.”

Is America Finished? Paul Craig Roberts The refusal of the Democratic Party and the military/security complex to accept the results of the 2016 US presidential election and the misuse of their positions of power to prevent Donald Trump from exercising presidential powers is a revolutionary step, well described by Angelo Codevilla here: https://americanmind.org/essays/our-revolutions-logic/ Americans are now so polarized that they “no longer share basic sympathies and trust, because they no longer regard each other as worthy of equal consideration.” Codevilla blames the progressives and their attitude of moral superiority, but his explanation is independent of who is to blame. I...

On September 9, Rudy Peters, the Republican running for Congress in the 15th District in California, was attacked by a knife-wielding man shouting, "F___ Trump". The attacker, Farzad Fazeli, an Iranian Clinton supporter, had previously posted, “Don Trump won’t clean his own house, so he’s too dirty to know right from wrong. Impeach/incarcerate him before more children die. P.S. complacency is worse than being the shooter.” The next month, Shane Mekeland, a Republican running for the Minnesota House of Representatives, suffered a concussion after being punched in the face at a restaurant. “You f____g people don't give a s___ about...

We’re one week away from the 2018 midterm elections. In the months leading up to Nov. 6, we’ve seen predictions of a “blue wave,” “red wave,” and everything in between. But as voters head to the polls Tuesday, one thing is clear: Arizona doesn’t deserve Democratic Rep. Kysten Sinema as senator. On the surface, Sinema has presented herself to voters as a moderate Democrat willing to work with Republicans, and even President Trump, on a number of issues. But Sinema’s history tells a different story. During the early years of the Bush administration and shortly after the United States was...

Declaring that “it is unfair that whites have more money than minorities,” Sen. Cory (Spartacus) Booker (D-NJ) has concocted a plan to hand wads of cash to “deserving black kids.” Dubbing these giveaways “opportunity accounts,” Booker boasted that “there’s no telling what these young people are capable of doing if only they had the money to do it.” Under Booker’s scheme minority youths would be eligible for “no strings grants of up to $50,000 they could use for wealth-building purposes. Most of the investment opportunities in the ghetto require cash. We’ll be giving these youngsters cash they could use to...

Ammar Campa-Najjar is squaring up against Duncan Hunter for a seat on the Congress and a major skeleton just fell out of Najjar's closet. His grandfather, Yusuf al-Najjar, was literally a terrorist working for Fatah. Members of Fatah were responsible for the 1972 Munich Olympics attack that left 11 athletes/coaches without life. Al-Najjar and his wife were killed in a 1973 raid that could have been a response to the attack on the Olympics. Campa-Najjar’s paternal grandfather was Muhammad Yusuf al-Najjar, head of the intelligence wing of Fatah, the political party founded by Palestinian political leader Yasser Arafat. Some Fatah...

Karen Monahan's son posted a cryptic message about his mom and Keith Ellison, a Democratic Representative in Minnesota. Her son made some nasty claims about Ellison dragging her off a bed, yelling at her, and a few other things, which you can read here if you desire.

At one point she started publishing screenshots of private messages that she shared with Ellison. We have some of them here. They might...
