    I live in Ilhan Omar's district and there is very little talk of Royce White's campaign.

    Here is an excellent article about the baffling approach the Democrats are taking in advance of the upcoming election. Talk about a mike-drop statement. This is one here:


    It's Like Democrats Want to Be Crushed in November

    Who says we can’t build bridges with the commie-loving, groomer-excusing, weather-worshiping race freaks of the left? We both seem to agree on one thing – all good and patriotic Americans need to take action to ensure that this pedo-curious, race-obsessed band of Marxist weirdos gets its collective Schumer kicked next November. Well, I think we agree on that. I know I do, and I know you do – we want to see them suffer total repudiation and more humiliation than even a Bulwark staffer can get into. But what is odd is that they seem to want the same thing.

    After all, they are doing everything they can to drive every decent American away from the garbage Democrat Party.

    Who knows why it is? Maybe the Democrats have a death wish. We certainly wish that motley collection of campus collectivists, welfare cheats, and fringy enablers would expire and be replaced with some kind of opposition party that at least agrees that it likes America and that children shouldn't be chatted up by skeevy molesters with education degrees and nose rings. But if the Democrat Party does not have a death wish, it begs the question of what the Democrats would do differently if they did.

    After all, the last year under that desiccated old crustacean installed as president by a combination of outright fraud, illegal election shenanigans, and unprecedented institutional intervention has been one example after another of the party trying to screw over normal people in favor of the most bizarre mini-constituencies within its shabby coalition. It's an innovative strategy to try to win by disgusting and repelling most voters, and we will see how it works out. My guess is poorly. Maybe these people are trying to fail, and if they are trying to fail, then congratulations – they have finally managed to do something successfully.

    The Democrat’s 2022 congressional polls are dire, with numbers as foul as the interior of Eric Swalwell’s Prius on the way home from a chili cook-off at Fang Fang’s condo. And the Democrats refuse to crack a window. They are hotboxing a Republican wave so mighty that even the Republicans can’t screw it up.

    Let’s review.

    They opened the border because the faculty lounge left wanted to, and suddenly, the Deep Blue Rio Grande Valley is turning red. Turns out that even Democrats don’t want to drown in a tsunami of Third World illegals. Now, if the rich snobs who run the Democrat Party actually knew any Hispanic – oops, I mean "Latinx" people – who are not either illegals providing them cheap labor or beret-wearing Aztlan fetishists they met at Yale, then they would understand why these proud, patriotic Americans are infuriated by illegals flooding over the border and are now flooding into the GOP. Remember 20 years ago and all the talk about the emerging Democrat majority? Well, that was supposed to be driven by Latinx people, except Latinx people think "Latinx" is dumber than Mazie Hirono and Sheldon Whitehouse's love child. The Democrat elite took Hispanics for granted – talk about condescension – and Hispanics took off.

    Oh, and now the administration’s plan is to throw the gates open even wider. Panic-stricken Dems running in 2022 are livid, but the party is serenely plowing ahead and plowing their candidates under. They will tell themselves that, like the white working class, the hip cool new Democrats can do without Hispanics too. After all, it’s pretty clear that by not liking illegal aliens Hispanics are hopelessly racist too.

    And let’s not forget the criminals and its sub-set of pedophiles. Embracing those seems edgy and exciting to the gentry libs with the Volvos and the gated communities. To normal people, not so much. Democrats are the ones who let the bum drop his processed dinner on your lawn. Democrats are the ones who excuse gangs of thieves rampaging through your Target. And Democrats are the ones voting for a Supreme Court nominee who thinks that dudes into pictures of naked kids are no biggie. That may sell in Santa Monica or Manhattan, but it does not sell in America.

    No, the pedo thing is not good. Cunning Ron DeSantis managed to maneuver the Democrats and their corporate cronies into taking a brave stand in favor of letting creeps use elementary schools as a Tinder for little kids. That drew outrage from the degenerate twenty-somethings who now seem to make up a good chunk of the Disney work force. Everyone else was like “Well, of course teachers shouldn’t be telling kindergartners about sexual identities or anything else except “This is a circle” and how “cat is spelled C-A-T.”

    There’s more. Gas will hit $10 this summer, but they still won’t drill. Further, as a sacrifice to the angry climate gods, we must now ride buses like suckers and eat bugs. That’s going to go over great.

    And then there’s foreign policy. At least he hasn’t gotten any American killed in Ukraine yet, unlike Afghanistan – no, we have not forgotten. The world is laughing at our alleged president, who needs a ball-gag in his pie-hole to keep him from accidentally starting World War III. Now home from spewing stupidity all over Europe, Grandpa Badfinger serenely rocks in his chair as he watches Matlock while Ron Klain hides the red button so he can’t push it thinking that it rings for a refill of his mush bowl.


    They would love to get rid of this drooling husk, but his replacement is Kamala, someone so dumb she is – improbably – even less coherent than he. Here’s how much they trust her – right now, she is literally spearheading the Jamaica portfolio. She’s like Veep without the competency or dignity, but with Montel Williams notches. These two are like the Three Stooges without the benefit of a Moe.

    And on their party marches toward November and the doom that awaits it. It’s almost like they want to be crushed, and for once, we patriots are happy to cheer the Democrats on.



    Do the Democrats want to get crushed in November? The way they are acting, it really kind of looks like they must. Very bizarre, to say the least.

    Republican registrations surge in Pennsylvania in warning sign for Democrats

    Republicans are registering formerly Democratic voters at four times the rate that Democrats are making the reverse conversion in the battleground state of Pennsylvania, a warning sign for Democrats as they try to keep control of the U.S. Congress.

    The Republican gains in Pennsylvania, home to a critical U.S. Senate race, follow a pattern seen in other states that could have competitive contests in November's elections, as high levels of disapproval with President Joe Biden's handling of his job are helping narrow the long-held advantage held by Democrats in numbers of registered voters.

    "I just got fed up and just felt like there has to be a better way," said Beth Jones, 48, a retired Philadelphia police officer who last month registered as a Republican, ending her three-decade affiliation with the Democratic Party.

    I hope they do get crushed. After 4 years of a horrible president biden you can have an even worse and more surreal trump term. Sometime during Trump's term I will be able and willing to move to a different country and try that out for a bit. Best choices. biden/clinton/trump good f*cking grief.

    Palin likely to make it through first round of voting in Alaska House race

    Sarah Palin is leading the polls in the special election for Alaska's sole House seat, a new poll shows. But the former Alaska governor and 2008 GOP vice-presidential nominee continues to face significant hurdles in winning the seat.Palin is among 48 candidates seeking to fill the remaining months of the term won by the late GOP Rep. Don Young in 2020. Young spent nearly 49 years in the House, the most of any Republican lawmaker, and at the time of his death last month was the dean of the chamber.

    The race to replace Young coincides with a major change to Alaska's election rules. Rather than traditional party primaries and then a general election, the top four finishers on June 11 will go on to the next round, when ranked-choice voting is used.

    Palin's vast name recognition has given her an edge early on. According to a Must Read Alaska survey of nearly 1,000 Alaskans, Palin would pull 31% of the vote. The poll for Must Read Alaska was conducted by Remington Research Strategies between Thursday and Saturday to a series of likely primary voters in Juneau, Anchorage, and Fairbanks. The poll has a margin of error of 3.1 percentage points. The survey found independent candidate Al Gross with 26% and Republican Nick Begich with 21%. Democrat Christopher Constant rounded out the top four with 7%.

    The top four vote-getters will be determined during the mail-in June 11 primary and advance to the nonpartisan general election in August, when ranked-choice voting will determine a winner with 51% support or more.

    Democrat strategists are now anonymously warning of a "Biblical disaster" incoming for the Democrats in November.

    From The Hill:

    The Memo: Democrats face nightmare scenario, ‘biblical disaster’

    Democrats are facing a nightmare scenario with about six months to go before the midterm elections. Inflation, immigration, the war in Ukraine and the still-lingering COVID-19 pandemic make for a dreadful political atmosphere for President Biden’s party.

    The problems are compounded by Biden’s weak approval numbers and the historical pattern whereby a president’s party typically loses seats in the first midterms of his tenure. Some Democrats believe a turnaround is still possible, or at least that losses can be kept modest.

    But others, granted anonymity to speak candidly, sound a louder alarm.

    “I think this is going to be a biblical disaster,” said one such Democratic strategist, who did not wish to be named. “This is the reality we are in as Democrats and no one wants to face it.”

    They are not victims here. They have done this to themselves - and to us.

    Or... just maybe, this election is following historical patterns where the President's party performs poorly in midterms? Which also happened in 2018?
