This isn’t normally the time when voters are asked whether they are better off than they were four years ago. That’s the question that tends to come around in presidential election years. But as the midterms approach, it’s what everyone should ask themselves as they decide who controls Congress for the next two years.
Because the answer is obvious.
Let’s turn the dial back to June 2022. Joe Biden had been occupying the White House for a year and a half. Democrats controlled Congress, handing him his $2 trillion “Build Back Better” spending extravaganza. The economy had more than recovered the ground
A Republican state senator who spotlighted his support for President Donald Trump and his MAGA agenda is one step closer to succeeding Ken Paxton as Texas attorney general.
State Sen. Mayes Middleton on Tuesday defeated Rep. Chip Roy, one of the most conservative members of the U.S. House, for the Republican attorney general nomination in Texas, The Associated Press reported.
Roy conceded the race shortly after the results came in, saying he had called Middleton to congratulate him.
Vandals sabotaged generators at an event for President Trump’s Freedom 250 event, according to a spokeswoman — and fuel leached into underground water tanks, contaminating them.
A generator fuel line set up for temporary lights for a May 17 event was was cut, causing it to seep into underground cisterns that collect rainwater under the Washington, DC, landmark, Freedom 250 spokeswoman Rachel Reisner told NBC News.
“Following the Freedom 250 team’s installation of temporary lighting on the National Mall, our equipment has been repeatedly targeted by vandals. The recent fuel leak was the direct result of that tampering,” she said.
Who could have guessed that yet another candidate that Zohran Mamdani endorsed—this time in a Congressional primary to take out a prominent New York Congressman who is the leader of the Congressional Hispanic Caucus—is a communist?
Not me. PolitiFact assured me in a fact-check that Mamdani, despite all his statements and social media posts, is not a communist because his campaign website failed to use that word! [snip]
She is, unsurprisingly, a far-leftist who works for the public defender's office and is steeped in all the trendy DSA/Communist ideology of defunding the police, seizing private property, and, of course, wiping Israel off the map.
Californians head to the polls to vote
in governor, LA mayoral primaries with

in governor, LA mayoral primaries with
no clear frontrunners replies
Californians go to the polls Tuesday to vote in primary elections that are expected to narrow the wide-open fields for November's General Elections in both the Los Angeles mayoral race and state gubernatorial contest – already the most expensive governor's race in U.S. history, with over $315 million spent so far.
Polling shows neither race having a clear leader, with Republican candidates in the liberal-leaning state among the front-runners in both.
In the governor's race, the campaign of billionaire Democratic candidate Tom Steyer has poured in over $200 million in ad spending, the most money of any candidate this election cycle in the country

Platner scandal replies
Democratic Maine Gov. Jane Mills reminded voters Sunday that she is still on the ballot in next week's Senate Democratic primary as constituents grapple with reports that candidate Graham Platner allegedly exchanged sexually explicit text messages with several women earlier in his marriage.
The revelation came out this weekend that Platner's wife Amy Gertner alerted his campaign to the texts in August 2025 after discovering the messages earlier that year.
Campaign aides reportedly reviewed the matter during an internal vetting process shortly after Platner launched his Senate bid, but staff members ultimately decided the issue was personal—
Mayor Zohran Mamdani has launched a civil war in the Democratic Party with his controversial endorsement of a fellow socialist’s bid to oust incumbent Rep. Adriano Espaillat, insiders said Monday.
Mamdani’s decision to support fellow Democratic Socialists of America insurgent Darializa Avila Chevalier in the June 23 primary for the northern Manhattan/Bronx House 13th House District is part of a long-term effort by him and fellow socialists to take control of the Democratic Party, sources said. In New York City, it’s a civil war in the Democratic Party,” said campaign consultant Evan Roth Smith.
There must be something about the month of May for the radical "protesters" at Delaney Hall Detention Center in Newark, New Jersey, because May 2026 has been a lot like May 2025 in terms of the wild scenes that have unfolded there over the past two weeks.
RedState has extensively covered the clashes that the anti-ICE demonstrators have instigated with immigration enforcement agents, with one situation involving a violent agitator who allegedly kicked and bit two agents. New Jersey resident Brendan John Geier, 26, has been arrested in that case.
Another disturbing incident involved an agitator caught on tape threatening to kill an ICE agent and their family. The suspect, 27-year-old Brooklynite
Henry Nowak: The Bodycam Footage
replies
Bill has written here and here about Henry Nowak, the 18 year old Briton who was stabbed to death by Vickrum Digwa, a Sikh. The perpetrator, having stabbed Nowak, collaborated with family members to put out the story that Nowak was a “racist,” while his mother hid the murder weapon. This is the call that Digwa’s brother made to report the crime. The suggestion that the victim was a “racist” was all that London Southampton police needed to hear: Police officers arrived on scene. Henry Nowak, dying from stab wounds, could not respond coherently to their questions, although he did say that he couldn’t breathe.
We live in an age of wonders made possible by a combination of free markets and scientific advancement. This weekend a large group of oncologists, doctors who specialize in the treatment of cancer, met to show off their latest breakthroughs at a conference called ASCO26. The news from this conference is so good that it brought standing ovations from the assembled doctors.
The big breakthrough that everyone is excited about involves pancreatic cancer which has long been a death sentence for many people. For instance, cartoonist Scott Adams died from metastatic prostrate cancer earlier this year. But a new drug called daraxonrasib
Kind of a one-two punch out of ExxonMobil's senior vice president, Neil Chapman, today.
On one hand, a not-so-surprising announcement tying up the loose ends of Exxon's corporate existence. The company, which has long been legally homeported in increasingly business-unfriendly New Jersey, would move that as well, thanks to stockholders giving executives the thumbs-up.
...Chapman delivered his message on the same day that Exxon shareholders approved a plan to move the company's legal home from New Jersey to Texas.
Citing Texas' strong regulatory environment, ExxonMobil CEO Darren Woods said the state was a better fit for the company in a statement.
In the popular Marvel film, 'Captain America: The Winter Soldier', the villainous organisation Hydra develops an advanced computer algorithm that mines every citizen's digital history to predict if they might pose a threat to the government in the future. A Chinese company is now on the verge of turning this science fiction plot into reality by developing an artificial intelligence-powered technology that would help authoritarian governments to not only monitor dissenters but also predict who could become one in the future.
The company, Geedge Networks, sells a commercial version of the surveillance and censorship software used by the Chinese government to control online activity. Leaked company documents
Reverend Franklin Graham excoriated Democrat Texas U.S. Senate candidate James Talarico’s claim that the “Bible is silent on abortion,” calling the statement an “absolute lie.” (snip) “The Word of God tells us we are created in the image of God and consistently underscores the value of human life. Jeremiah 1:5 says, ‘Before I formed you in the womb I knew you, before you were born I set you apart…’ In 2021, this same Democratic candidate opposed a bill to ban men from women’s sports, saying that ‘God is non-binary.’ Don’t be deceived by wicked politicians spouting lies like this,” he continued.
The devastated daughter of the Atlanta train passenger viciously slaughtered by an alleged homeless maniac in a random attack ripped local officials Monday for opening the transit system to free riders — and then failing to properly police its stations.
Margaret Swan, a 66-year-old great-grandmother, had her throat slashed and then was stabbed 18 to 20 times on the Metropolitan Atlanta Rapid Transit Authority by the knife-wielding madman in an unprovoked attack Saturday morning, cops said.
Shanae Sams, Swan’s daughter, told The Post that glaring security gaps, lax policing and a temporary free-fare policy on MARTA paved the way for the heinous daylight killing.

Mayor Karen Bass is being slammed as un-American for a last-minute decision to pull funding for a neighborhood group who wanted to close their main street for a Fourth of July Parade marking America’s 250th birthday.
The Sunland-Tujunga Fourth of July Parade, the longest-running Independence Day parade in the San Fernando Valley, has been canceled after organizers say the city withdrew support and left them facing at least $20,000 in traffic control and street closure costs. “The mayor’s office jerked us around for so long,” said Lydia Grant, president of the Sunland-Tujunga Neighborhood Council. “It’s devastating. We’ve been doing this parade for over 50 years.”
Ukraine President Volodymr Zelenskyy appears on Face the Nation with Margaret Brennan, a few days after Russian President Vladimir Putin told media there were no negotiations underway toward any settlement or ceasefire.
Simultaneous to this interview, it has now been discovered that American tech company, Palantir, is behind the technology that accompanies Ukraine drone targeting and weapons systems. Video and Transcript Below:
Axios is reporting that President Donald Trump's administration appears ready to drop the proposed $1.776 billion Anti-Weaponization Fund, and the move may prove smart. The concern behind the fund remains real: Federal power did get used as a political weapon, and Americans deserve answers, names, records, hearings, firings, and prosecutions where evidence supports them. From Just the News.
The Trump administration is reportedly planning to cancel plans to create a $1.776 billion "anti-weaponization fund" amid bipartisan backlash, Axios reported, citing "two senior administration officials."
The Department of Justice announced the fund as part of a settlement to President Donald Trump's lawsuit
Senator Bernie Sanders, the socialist from Vermont who with Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez and Mayor Zohran Mamdani is an agenda-setter on the activist left wing of the Democratic Party, is proposing that the U.S. government seize 50 percent ownership of large artificial intelligence companies.
"I will soon be introducing the American A.I. Sovereign Wealth Fund Act. This legislation would give the public a direct ownership stake in the largest A.I. companies in our country," Sanders announced in a New York Times opinion article published online. "It would create a sovereign wealth fund through a one-time 50 percent tax — not on the profits
The United States Customs and Border Protection announced Monday the appointment of Rosario “Pete” Vasquez as the new Chief of U.S. Border Patrol.
The move comes after former Border Patrol Chief Michael Banks resigned last month to spend time with his family and return to his Texas ranch. Banks began serving in the post in January 2025.
The department said Vasquez has more than 26 years of experience with Border Patrol and has served in a range of operational and executive leadership assignments across the southwest border, northern border, international posts and CBP headquarters.
“It is the honor of a lifetime to serve as chief of the United States Border Patrol,
Democratic Maine Gov. Janet Mills told voters Monday that she will still be on the ballot for the U.S. Senate race despite having suspended her campaign weeks earlier.
Mills suspended her campaign in April for financial reasons while still saying at the time that she had “the fight” to continue. On Monday, Mills posted on X, stating, “People have the impression that I withdrew or dropped out, but I simply suspended active campaigning. I am still on the ballot.” While I have the drive and passion, commitment and experience, and above all else — the fight —
Federal Court Issues Convoluted Ruling

Restoring Military Service For Some Trans
Military Members replies
A Federal Court of Appeals ruled Monday in a 2-to-1 decision that the Trump administration’s military ban removing current transgender members of service is unconstitutional.
In a May 2025 ruling, the Supreme Court allowed the “Hegseth policy” prohibiting members of the military from openly identifying as transgender, when a lower court attempted to stop it. The Federal Court of Appeals ruling on Monday, however, denied the Hegseth policy from removing current members of the service affected by gender dysphoria, according to ABC News.
Judge Robert Wilkins, an Obama appointee, and Judge Judith Rogers, a Clinton appointee, ruled that current transgender service members cannot be removed.
The Democrat Party's civil war over Graham Platner is getting messier by the day, and leave it to Jessica Tarlov to pick the wrong side.
While prominent Democrats are tripping over each other to distance themselves from Platner, the Fox News contributor spent a chunk of Monday's America's Newsroom doing the exact opposite. She went on the defensive, and it was not pretty.
I mean, come on, even Sen. Cory Booker is admitting that he “has concerns” about Platner. “That guy has questions to answer,” he said. “And that’s what campaigns are for.”
Tarlov, however, went into a full-throttle defense, complete with deflection and whataboutism.
“There are Democrats who have concerns,
The Trump administration plans to drop the Department of Justice's $1.8 billion "Anti-Weaponization Fund" in the face of legal and political pushback to it, reports said Monday.
The fund was created as part of a settlement of President Donald Trump's $10 billion lawsuit against the Internal Revenue Service. It is intended to compensate people who were purportedly victims of prosecutorial overreach by the DOJ under the Biden administration.
The Trump administration is giving the American people what they want in the lead-up to the big 250th birthday celebration and is ignoring pride month — a once unruly, secular celebration beloved by the Biden administration and radical left.
Americans came to a breaking point during the Biden administration — specifically, in the summer of 2023, when the Biden administration went all in on “pride” month and Americans were horrified to see a topless transgender activist at the White House pride event, while corporate queering ran amok. The Biden administration made sure to let everyone know that it valued “pride” and did so every year,
