Daily Broadside | That Red Wave Could Actually Turn Into a Blood Bath

Daily Verse | Luke 11:30
“For as Jonah was a sign to the Ninevites, so also will the Son of Man be to this generation.”

Friday’s Reading: Luke 12-14
Saturday’s Reading: Luke 15-18

Happy Friday and welcome to the weekend.

Thought I would send us all off into the weekend on a happy, or at least a positive, note. Monmouth just came out with a poll that shows Republicans with a 6-point lead in a generic ballot leading up to the midterms in just, what, 18 days?

Remember, most polls skew Left, so any Republican lead is likely stronger than what is reported. If this number (+6) holds up, there are good things in store for the GOP in November.

Former Former Vice President Mike Pence is bullish on Republican’s chances.

“I think we are 20 days away from a historic victory for conservative values, for Republican candidates, and that’s going to be step one. We win back the Congress. We win statehouses across the country. Two years from now, we’ll win back America,” he said in an appearance on Fox News’ “America Reports.”

Of course I hope he’s right, but I have a hard time believing that the GOP will do much with their restored power. If they couldn’t even repeal Obamacare after we gave them all three branches of government in 2016, what do we think will motivate them to do some real work to protect our constitutional republic against the crazies in the Other Party and in the Deep State? I am not optimistic.

In the Monmouth poll, the issues most concerning to Americans aren’t what the Other Party is focused on.

Those rating “inflation” as most important went up 9 percent since September, as groceries and gas have increased in price. As a Democrat strategist once said, “It’s the economy, stupid.”

In other good news, Lee Zeldin (R-NY) is within striking distance of Governor Kathy Hochul (D-NY) in New York’s gubernatorial race.

A Quinnipiac University poll released Tuesday showed Hochul leading her Republican challenger by a mere 4%…

Even more shocking, the Democrat is leading New York City by 22%, with Zeldin earning an estimated 37% of likely NYC voters — an extremely big grab for a Republican in the deep-blue city.

“WOW. A new Quinnipiac Poll finds [Lee Zeldin] way over a key 30% threshold in NYC – widely seen as key to a GOP candidate winning statewide in supposedly super blue NYC,” the New York Post’s Zach Williams reported Tuesday.

Popular upstate New York radio host Bob Lonsberry remarked on the polling news, “People who ought to know say that if Zeldin is above 35% in NYC, he’s the next governor,” he tweeted. “This is why Kathy is in NYC every day passing out taxpayer money.”

Having done most of my growing up in the Empire State, I still have people there, as does my wife, so my interest there is personal as well as being a bell weather for what’s happening nationally.

Stephen Green takes a look at the Monmouth poll and makes this observation:

Nationwide, Republicans currently lead on Monmouth’s generic ballot by six points. That in and of itself is remarkable, but it becomes stunning when you see that 50% of voters prefer the GOP, instead of the more-typical 42- or 43-point ceiling in a winning year. That Monmouth poll isn’t much of an outlier, either, with Hart, Harris, and Rasmussen all reporting similar results.

But it gets worse. Check out these numbers for parents:

This tells me that parents who have kids in local schools have had enough of progressives letting their freak flags fly for teachers with pink danger hair and nose-rings declaring it’s their job to guide your little angel into some bastardization of sexual norms. They’re breaking R+35.

Finally, even CNBC has the GOP up by 2 and “dominant” on the economy.

That gives readers a pretty good look at the overall political environment — gloomy and likely angry. Other poll numbers give a clearer indication of whom voters are angry with on these issues. On the question of which party would do better on each issue, the GOP has double-digit leads heading into Election Day:

  • Inflation: GOP 42%, Dems 27%
  • Taxes: 40/29
  • Deficit: 36/25
  • Job creation: 43/33

On top of all that, RedFin just released a report with more bad economic news that plays to the GOP’s perceived strength.

Real estate giant RedFin released a bombshell report this week that revealed a record drop in home sales for September. The number of homes sold last month fell a staggering 25%. Equally alarming, new listings fell 22%, indicating a substantial pullback in the market by both buyers and sellers.

The drops marked records in each category, excluding the beginning of the pandemic, when the reason for such low numbers had nothing to do with an uncertain economy and higher interest rates.

While nothing is guaranteed, there is a lot of positive news out there for conservatives and like-minded voters. Just remember: take nothing for granted. Get out there and vote on November 8.

I’m traveling again this weekend and into early next week, so there won’t be a Broadside until Wednesday. Have a good weekend and thanks for reading.

Daily Broadside | A former presidential candidate says “goodbye” to the Democrats

Daily Verse | Matthew 28:12-13
When the chief priests had met with the elders and devised a plan, they gave the soldiers a large sum of money, telling them, “You are to say, ‘His disciples came during the night and stole him away while we were asleep.'”

Wednesday’s Reading: Mark 1-3

Hump Day again and also my ↯¡!#th birthday, formerly known as Columbus Day. Yeah, I’m a Libra, apparently known for being funny, intelligent, artistic, flirtatious and, um … not sure about this … indecisive.

Should I have included that last one?

Someone who is definitely not being indecisive is former Democratic Hawaii Congresswoman and presidential candidate, Tulsi Gabbard. Now former Democrat.

aN OcTObEr sUPriSE!

A couple of things about this. First, I am not a friend of the Demolition Demonrat DemoKKKrat Democrat Party. There is no making peace with them in their current form. They are a force for evil in this country and world, and I stand opposed to them with everything in me.

I know that comes as a surprise to many of you.

But I admired Tulsi Gabbard as a presidential candidate on the other side of the aisle. I didn’t agree with everything she stood for, but she was articulate, rational, independent and, most of all, she was reasonable. She served in the military and seems to have some level of patriotic spirit in her political make up. In other words, she’s someone I could see having a civil conversation with about national policy.

I remember thinking that she was more conservative in her politics than the rest of the party she belonged to, which makes her an extremist in today’s progressive world. Just listen to her and imagine she’s a Republican (which she is not as of this writing).

“I can no longer remain in today’s Democratic Party that is now under the complete control of an elitist cabal of warmongers driven by cowardly wokeness, who divide us by racializing every issue & stoke anti-white racism, actively work to undermine our God-given freedoms, are hostile to people of faith & spirituality, demonize the police & protect criminals at the expense of law-abiding Americans, believe in open borders, weaponize the national security state to go after political opponents, and above all, dragging us ever closer to nuclear war.”

“I believe in a government that is of, by, and for the people. Unfortunately, today’s Democratic Party does not. Instead, it stands for a government of, by, and for the powerful elite. I’m calling on my fellow common sense independent-minded Democrats to join me in leaving the Democratic Party,” Gabbard added. “If you can no longer stomach the direction that so-called woke Democratic Party ideologues are taking our country, I invite you to join me.”

There’s literally nothing in there that I can’t agree with, including her call for independent-minded Democrats to leave the Democrat party. Please, yes, leave the party of anti-American Marxists.

And that’s the other thing about this. Even one of the Democrat’s own presidential candidates has found that the Democrats are a corrupt and extremist group. Plus she’s a woman of color who opposes anti-white racism and apparently believes in God!

I take this as just one more bit of evidence that the Leftist Asses (hey, I didn’t pick their party symbol) are scaring away the more moderate members of their party, including blacks and Hispanics. In fact, the latest polling shows Brandon is underwater on every one of the top ten issues voters are most concerned about.

President Joe Biden, who promised a more competent and unifying administration, is failing to reach at least 50% approval on any of the nation’s top 10 issues.

Overall, Biden is underwater like his ratings-challenged predecessor. In the latest Ipsos survey, 40% approve of the job Biden is doing as president, while 53% disapprove.

But his failure really stands out in how the public views how he is doing on key issues, including the economy and crime.

The issue he still gets the best grade on is handling COVID-19, but that is now below 50%, at 47%.

Note that they can’t help referring to president Donald J. Trump as though that somehow makes Brandon’s failings okay. Trump had the entire Deep State, MSM, social media, military and even his own children undermining him at every turn, while Brandon has every one of those institutions, plus his addict son, Hunter and his wife Dr. Jill Biden, EdD., covering for him and showing no interest in his morally corrupt character or his compromised mental health or his unconstitutional use of power.

So it’s even, guys, okay?

Only 33% of Americans “approve” of the way he’s handling immigration and the economy. That 33% is all of the illegal aliens included in the survey.

C’mon man!

The midterms will be a referendum on Biden’s presidency. I can’t wait until the Democrats get slaughtered (figuratively speaking!) at the polls on November 8.

That is if they don’t call for martial law because we’re exchanging nukes with Putin.

Daily Broadside | Trump Takes an Axe to the Tree of NeverTrump RINOs

Daily Verse | Jeremiah 14:7
Although our sins testify against us,
    do something, Lord, for the sake of your name.

Thursday’s Reading: Jeremiah 16-20

Thursday and I had to take a couple of days off for travel without a computer. That kind of MIA will happen again in September, October and November. Thanks for your support and continued interest.

While I was out, Brandon signed into law the legal theft of some $750 billion for a “health care, tax and climate bill” that was called the “Inflation Reduction Act.” It’s not even worth mentioning that it will do nothing to curb inflation, while it does everything to line the pockets of politicians and corporations — and the imperial rulers of our country justify their robbery of American citizens with flat out lies as they push the teetering economy that was once vaunted and strong toward total collapse.

The raid on Mar-a-Lago continues to be in the news as Trump demands that the DOJ and FBI to release the affidavit that “proved” they would find evidence of a crime if they invaded his home. While the DOJ was fine with releasing the warrant and a list of what they took — excluding Trump’s passports! — they’re not so eager to release the affidavit providing the reason why they conducted the raid on a former president and likely 2024 presidential candidate.

Personally I believe that the raid was a line nobody should’ve crossed unless there was credible, significant and irrefutable evidence of a crime, especially with the credibility of our law enforcement agencies in tatters. If they don’t come up with something like I describe, there’s going to be huge trouble.

We’re knocking on the door of a major uprising.

Speaking of uprising — and a few steps back from a shooting war that I’m afraid we’re being drawn toward with the weaponization of our federal institutions — RINO Liz Cheney went down in defeat in her Tuesday primary to Trump-endorsed candidate Harriet Hageman. But she didn’t just lose — she got demolished. Her political career as a “representative” of Wyoming is over, done, terminated, finished, eliminated, destroyed … it’s toast.

With about 95 percent of the vote reporting as of Wednesday morning, Cheney was losing by a whopping 37 points to Harriet Hageman, with Cheney drawing only 28.9 percent of the vote compared to Hageman’s 66.3 percent, according to The New York Times. Hageman was declared the winner early on Tuesday night, and the race was never close by any stretch of the imagination.

She got crushed. But the staggering humiliation she was handed by the voters of Wyoming wasn’t enough to humble her and her hatred of Trump. She is so tone deaf that she likened herself to Abraham Lincoln, noting that he, too, was defeated in his runs for Senate and the house.

“The great original champion of our party, Abraham Lincoln, was defeated in elections for the Senate and the house before he won the most important election of all,” Cheney said. “Lincoln ultimately prevailed. He saved our union and he defined our obligation as Americans for all of history.”

Only in her defeat is she anything like Lincoln, and even then, Lincoln lost to Stephen A. Douglas by a vote of 54-46, a separation of only 8 points, not 37. But Liz seems to think the threat of Donald J. Trump is akin to that of our first Civil War, and she is the Lincolnian savior, hinting at a presidential run in 2024.

To that I say: LOL!!!

Liz Cheney will never be president. She won’t even survive the primaries. And that’s if Trump isn’t running. That she thinks so highly of herself and her righteous cause is enough to motivate me to vote her down any time I might have the opportunity. And I know I’m not the only one.

With Cheney’s exit, there are two important things to note.

First, only two of the ten Republicans who voted to impeach Trump survived his scorched earth tactics: Rep. David Valadao (California’s 21st district) and Rep. Dan Newhouse (Washington’s 4th district). The other eight either retired or were defeated in their primaries. Like Abraham Cheney.

Second, and perhaps even more important, Trump nearly single-handedly snuffed out four political dynasties in just seven years.

The era of Donald Trump has brought a great many changes to the political world since 2016, and the year 2023 will be no different – the dynasties of Bush, Cheney, McCain, and Clinton will hold no quarter in either statewide or national office.

With the defeat of Liz Cheney in the Wyoming Republican congressional primary on Tuesday, the franchise dynasties that have dominated the U.S. political landscape going all the way back to the 1970s came to a crashing halt.

Whether or not the Republican Party takes control of Congress in November’s mid-term election, come January 23, there will be no politician by name of Bush, Cheney, McCain, or Clinton in the halls of Congress, the White House, or even on the state level.

This is very good news. Every one of those families were part of imperial establishment who really did no lasting good for the American people. Kurt Schlichter pulls no punches in his takedown of Cheney and the others.

And [Cheney’s] grotesque daughter was right on brand by joining the Democrats for a kangaroo kommittee that would have made Stalin blush. Her destruction of the norm of due process by putting out a TV-ready show trial with no possibility of the confrontation of witnesses, cross-examination, or counter-arguments did more damage to America than a few hundred selfie-takers in the Rotunda ever could. And this FBI raid? Chalk up the new “Sic the dogs on the previous guy” norm to the Lizard. Congratulations on making the Roman Empire great again, Lizzy, you historically illiterate mediocrity who would be nagging middle schoolers to use their inside voices if your daddy hadn’t hitched his wagon to the Bush dynasty. 

What have they created? Nothing. Instead, they wreck and think themselves special.

Don’t get me wrong; the defeat of the NeverTrump brigades won’t magically turn this nation around. Neither will Trump, although he’s got the best shot of doing so (unless DeSantis runs — then all bets are off). But getting rid of these RINOs and unprincipled men and women who won’t stand against the swamp they are a part of is an excellent first step.

Now we need to take back the House, Senate and, in 2024, the White House.
