Two Things Scare Me About the Midterms

Original Article

Posted By: ladydawgfan, 11/6/2022 1:26:29 PM

Everything I’m reading and hearing about the Tuesday midterm elections is a “massive red wave.” “Panic in New York.” “Blake Masters Takes Razor Thin Lead.” “Majority of Voters Support J.D. Vance.” “Red Wave Tuesday? Final Rasmussen Poll: GOP Leads Generic Congressional Ballot by 5 Points.” “The Democrats are in Trouble.” “Hispanics Across Arizona, Florida, Texas Abandon Democrats.” (Snip) Two things about the election Tuesday scare me. One, so many of the races are so close. Nearly all the important Senate races are neck and neck: Pennsylvania, Arizona, Nevada, New Hampshire, and Georgia, all so very tight. Why? How can Americans look at the country and not slaughter the Democrats?

Comments:

I have to agree completely with this article. Vote!! Vote on Tuesday and take another Conservative with you!!

Lewis makes a good point. I think the "red wave" will give the house to the GOP. Not so sure about the Senate. We might pick up a seat or two, but the Dems will be cheating in the tight races, and we might not pick up enough to offset the traitors like Romney. At a minimum, the GOP needs a four to five seat edge. Vote fraud is just about all the Dems have left, and they will use it everywhere they can. I look for Walker to be ahead at midnight Tuesday, but his lead will have magically disappeared by morning

Great article! I agree completely that the democrats will cheat, steal and lie their way to victory on any close race! Why not? There were no consequences for a stolen election last time!

Problem is a wave election usually is a bunch of 55-45 wins. This time it may be a bunch of 51-49 wins and a couple of them could be 49-51.

In order for a Republican to win ANY election, they need to be at least 7-8% ahead of the Democrat. It is well understood that 5-6 fraudulent percentage points are added to the Democrats. None of the "close" races have the Republican 7-8% ahead. Therefore they WILL NOT win. Sorry to burst your bubble but nothing can prevent Democrat voter fraud except massive Republican over voting. Hopefully enthusiasm may be on the Republicans side.

Just finished corresponding with an old friend and we were stumped at this question too. FTA: How can Americans look at the country and not slaughter the Democrats? Hannity and a couple of other pundits Friday night said that less than 100,000 total votes in all of those states could decide the makeup of the Senate. Again, how can these races be so close? Well, I hate to be ugly, but one of my long-held mottos is “never underestimate the stupidity of the American electorate.” That certainly seems to be the case this year. Based on Democrat campaigning, they already KNOW how stupid some of us are, but I find them insulting.

Maybe I'm an optimist, but I don't think it will that close, Republican are always undercounted in the polls by 1-4% if not more. And there is a bunch of core D'Rats that don't believe this is the D'Rats fault, just read some of the comments and you'll see every excuse in the world. Russia, Saudis, Trump, it's a "world' problem. Blah blah blah

Reagan carried 49 of 50 states when winning re-election. This could not have happened without a lot of Democrats voting for Reagan. I think most voters are practical, not ideological. Only a true leftwing nut would vote for the Dems in this election.

I agree completely and remain in a neutral mindset about the outcome. I know several people who are 100% in the bidet camp. They believe trump was a monster and eagerly watch the jan 6 committee hearings. They are adults-seniors- and property owners. One longterm friend told me of the Sup Ct decision that apparently happened Saturday which would “allow those people to be given the money. It’ll go right back into the economy. They’ll buy houses or refrigerators.” Not wanting to risk war, i did not ask ‘why just those people and not everybody else?’ Or ‘that’s the current problem, too much money being created which bids up the price of goods.’ No, it was just unquestioning obeisance to the Dim marketing scam. These people will never vote against a dim. There are more of them than makes sense in the adult world.

Also, can anyone name a society in the world or past when the rulers were as addled and clueless as Biden or Federman? Much as I don’t like some of these: Obama, Bill Clinton, Gov Edwin Edwards were untrustworthy but quite savy.

A couple points: 1) I believe that most polls over sample democrats. Remember Hillary was supposed to beat Trump by 12 to 16 points. 2) Since Biden's DOJ declared Republicans "domestic terrorists," I don't talk to anyone about my political opinions that I don't know. I definitely believe that a silent majority is in play here. Maybe I am just being optimistic.

A key tell will be when you start seeing precincts that are not reporting for a long time. These are the ones that will be used to tip the totals in key races for the Democrats using "uncertifiable" ballots. Also remember, any precinct that does not report its final totals before midnight on election night is in violation of the SCOTUS Foster v. Love decision and must be voided by the SoS. If they do not follow the law again, all bets are off.

What scares me is that half of our countrymen, including all the dead ones, illegals and felons, vote for the communist party despite its 100% track record of death and despair. We all had stupid kids in history class, but half? Half were asleep or stoned? And those who arrange all that cheating do so without a single pang of guilt, with the righteous indignation of religious zealot. Win or lose, we are still in serious trouble.

I'm not worrying so much. It will be harder for Dems to cheat when they know everyone is watching. When polls are wrong they almost always overestimate in favor of Democrats. There are lots of ''undecided'' people who plan to vote Republican but don't want to say so out loud. Most of the races that look razor thin will be decided by 4-6 points.

Fetterman is sort of a freak of recent history. He comes from a wealthy family, even though he claimed for years that because his parents wed as teens, they struggled. He is not stupid. He earned a degree in Finance hile playing football for them, a difficult major for an athlete with limited study time. He went on to earn an MBA for Connecicut, I believe, and an MA in Public Policy from Harvard. And he worked for Chubb in Pittsburgh for two years as an underwriter. He left Chubb and did one of those domestic peace corps tours of two years, a sketchy government program. And he ran for mayor of a neighborhood but called a city, Braddock, Pa., and won the dimocrat primary by one vote. Since Braddock is almost all dimocrat, he won the election, serving as a part time mayor for 150 dollars a month, and a city manager to manage the neighborhood. Then he was contacted and seduced by an illegal alien african-brazilian named Gisele. He married her, and his daddy (and maybe George Soros) supported him handsomely. That's enough history for now.

Vote. Pray. Pray on the way to vote. Pray on the way home from voting. A radio preacher years ago opened his program with ''Prayer Changes Things.'' What it changes the most is the petitioner. After you pray, then pull the lever, let go of it. (You guessed correctly if you know I am preaching to the choir!)

Polls are notoriously wrong, mostly favoring Dems. I won't tell anyone what I think or how I vote. Down the ticket is very important as well. State Legislatures and Governors will determine election reform before the '24 election. Vote! But know who you are voting for first. In Ohio Ryan is running on Trump principles while his voting record shows he voted Left 100% of the time. Others are doing this as well

Many to Blame for LA's Ring of Fire 0 replies
Posted by ladydawgfan1/14/2025 12:52:21 PM
When a politician says "don't politicize" a significant event like the fires that have swept Los Angeles County, it's a good bet they are attempting to divert attention and shield themselves from the consequences of their inaction. Such is the case with California Governor Gavin Newsom and Los Angeles Mayor Karen Bass, who seem to be blaming others. Bass traveled to Ghana for a wedding after the National Weather Service issued a fire watch, citing "critical fire conditions." The following day, the watches were upgraded to warnings. Meteorologists advised that a "particularly dangerous situation" was developing. Upon her return, Bass refused to answer a reporter's questions.

A mob of far-left agitators heckled U.S. Defense Secretary-designate Pete Hegseth as he appeared before the Senate Armed Services Committee at a hearing Tuesday to confirm his nomination. Sporting pink faux-military uniforms, they looked exactly how you'd expect: [Tweet] Prior to the proceedings, members of the group CodePink, an anti-Israel instigator known for organizing pro-Hamas protests on Capitol Hill, jeered at President-elect Donald Trump's pick to lead the Pentagon. "No Hegseth. No Religious Extremist," said one of the signs brandished by the activists. "No Christian Jihad," another read. An activist wore a button bearing a red "X" over the Jerusalem Cross.

WASHINGTON — President Biden touted his infamous decision to end the American military presence in Afghanistan during an end-of-term foreign policy speech Monday, saying he “saw no reason to keep thousands of servicemen” there — despite top generals warning him against the move. “Today, I can also report to the American people [as] the first president in decades who’s not leaving a war in Afghanistan to his successor,” the 82-year-old boasted at the State Department, arguing that “the primary objective of war had been accomplished” when SEAL Team Six took out Al Qaeda leader Osama Bin Laden during a daring Pakistan raid in 2011.

It has been two months since Vice President Kamala Harris lost to President-elect Donald Trump, but a new report reveals that some Democrat donors are still being charged. As Democrats continue to reel from the decisive Republican victory in November, recurring charges are adding insult to injury for some who donated to help steer Harris toward victory. According to a report from Politico, a joint fundraising committee that worked with the Democratic National Committee (DNC) still has some donors enrolled in recurring payments. This is causing some strife among those who gave to the campaign.

On Monday, Democrats on the Senate Energy Panel called for Burgum’s confirmation hearing to be delayed at least a week. “Governor Doug Burgum has been fully cooperative throughout the confirmation process, promptly submitting his paperwork to the Office of Government Ethics,” Mike Lee wrote in a statement.

Before we get to the gist of the article, we can all agree that nobody trolls better than President-elect Donald Trump. The guy's not only a master at trolling; he often uses the Democrats' own words to reduce them to rubble, which he did throughout the 2024 presidential campaign. In the two most memorable examples, Trump hopped a ride in a Wisconsin garbage truck in response to outgoing President Joe Biden calling his supporters "garbage." And in response to Vice President Kamala Harris' unsubstantiated claim (lie) that she once worked at McDonald's, Trump responded by working a short shift at a McDonald's drive-through window.

Special counsel report found Trump engaged

Posted by Dreadnought1/14/2025 3:16:24 AM
WASHINGTON - U.S. Special Counsel Jack Smith concluded that Donald Trump engaged in an "unprecedented criminal effort" to hold on to power after losing the 2020 election, but was thwarted in bringing the case to trial by the president-elect's November election victory, according to a report published on Tuesday. The report details Smith's decision to bring a four-count indictment against Trump, accusing him of plotting to obstruct the collection and certification of votes following his 2020 defeat by Democratic President Joe Biden. It concludes that the evidence would have been enough to convict Trump at trial, but his imminent return to the presidency, set for Jan. 20, made that impossible.

Cringe-worthy slogans aside, the Washington Post's downfall is well deserved as the rag has become an ultra-biased outlet that not only proved itself to be an unreliable social narrator but proved that the ideology that it supported is an absolute failure.

Hamas is expected to release 33 hostages during the first phase of an emerging ceasefire agreement being finalized by negotiators in Doha, two Israeli officials said, the first positive sign in months that a truce in the Israel-Hamas war may be in sight. Officials have expressed cautious optimism that a deal could soon be announced to halt 15 months of fighting that has destabilized the Middle East and devastated Gaza, allow for more aid into the besieged Palestinian enclave, and ensure the return of dozens of hostages held by Hamas since its attack on Israel on October 7, 2023.

Joe Biden and Kamala Harris convened Senior White House and Administration officials for a briefing on the federal government’s response to the Los Angeles wildfires. The Los Angeles fires have killed at least 24 people and destroyed more than 12,000 structures, and the reported estimated damage is around $150 billion. The damage is largely due to Democrats like Governor Newsom and LA Mayor Karen Bass after they slashed fire department funding and didn’t fill reservoirs. On Monday Biden announced his Regime is giving $770 to people impacted by the California wildfires.
Man Seen Starting Fires With Blow Torch

A suspect seen starting fires with a blow torch in a Los Angeles neighborhood Thursday afternoon is not being charged with arson because a police investigation found “no probable cause.” The man is still being detained on a felony probation violation amid the ongoing investigation, Los Angeles Police Department Assistant Chief Dominic Choi said in a press conference Friday. The arrest comes amid growing speculation that at least some of the LA fires were started by arsonists. The suspect was arrested Thursday night on suspicion of arson near the Kenneth fire, a wildfire that started at about 2:30, Thursday afternoon. The suspect, believed to be a homeless man, had reportedly been

Sen.

I do not believe that you are qualified to meet the overwhelming demands of this job. We must acknowledge the concerning public reports against you,” Reed said in a stinging opening statement at Hegseth confirmation hearing, which began at 9:30 a.m. EST Tuesday morning. Reed said committee members must pay close attention to allegations of sexual misconduct and financial mismanagement against Hegseth in recent years.

The Department of Homeland Security (DHS) under Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas is reportedly attempting to kill the Laken Riley Act, a bill that requires the DHS to take illegal aliens who have been charged, arrested, or convicted for crimes such as theft, larceny, burglary or shoplifting into custody. Pablo Manriquez, a news reporter, wrote in a post on X that “sources at DHS” were informing him that the cost of the Laken Riley Act was estimated to be between $20-$30 billion. Manriquez added that the DHS sources had cited “a $7 billion figure just for beds BEFORE the mandate’s costs on local law enforcement.”
