Republican candidate Herschel Walker is making the most of a criticism from his opponent, Democrat incumbent Senator Raphael Warnock. Warnock made the mistake of mocking Walker for being in possession of what he called “fake” police badges during a debate. Walker quickly whipped one out and proudly held it up to the audience. As it turns out, the so-called fake badges are honorary badges presented to Walker by sheriffs throughout the state.In response to the political attack from Warnock, the Walker campaign ordered 1,000 imitation plastic law enforcement badges that say “I’m with Herschel”. The campaign has turned the badges into a fundraising tool.

Humans are not very good fortune tellers, not even when there’s lots of data on which to make educated guesses. That’s certainly been true of recent political polling in 2016 and 2020 and to a lesser degree in 2018. Nevertheless, the pressure to make predictions is strong. So today, Matt Yglesias has put forward his best guess as to what will happen nationally next month. His conclusion is that polls are once again underestimating GOP strength in various races and that, partly because of that bad data, Democrats are going to underperform even current (low) expectations.According to 538, Republicans have a 72 percent chance of taking the House,
Er … what?
Just how desperate are Democrats to sell abortion in this midterm cycle dominated by inflation and crime? Stacey Abrams demonstrates here in an exchange with Mike Barnicle this morning on Morning Joe. Barnicle points out that Democrats’ attempts to use abortion to distract from the issues that matter most to voters in the cycle have flopped.Abrams responds by claiming that abortion is a solution to inflation. And I’m not kidding:
It will come down to the wire in Arizona, but the signals look better and better for the GOP in both major races. In a new Trafalgar poll commissioned by Daily Wire, Kari Lake’s lead has expanded to nearly three points over Democrat and debate-refusenik Katie Hobbs, just a skosh outside the margin of error.Meanwhile, Republican challenger Blake Masters is just a point back from incumbent Senator Mark Kelly, who clearly isn’t closing the sale with Arizona voters:
Republicans are close to holding Arizona’s governor’s seat and potentially flipping a U.S. Senate seat, according to a new Trafalgar Group/Daily Wire poll.
Republican gubernatorial candidate Kari Lake is ahead of her Democratic opponent,
Ever since the Supreme Court overturned Roe v. Wade in June, it seemed possible that Democrats could avoid a midterm disaster. But if the post-Roe summer belonged to Democrats, by mid-October, even they can see the momentum they had is fading.
A recent CBS News/YouGov survey has Democrats running 2 percentage points behind Republicans in the generic congressional ballot — a measure closely tied to a party’s performance in the midterms. A New York Times/Siena College poll released on Monday showed likely voters inclined to vote Republican by a 49 percent to 45 percent margin. Independent women — a critical constituency for Democrats in swing states and districts —
If you happen to be a baseball fan who has been watching the playoff games recently you may have noticed some intentionally jarring political advertisements popping up between innings. They depict some of the grisly crimes that have been captured on security cameras around the country recently as the ongoing crime crisis continues to spiral out of control. The advertisements ask voters to consider why this is happening and to take this critical issue into accouOne person who definitely noticed the advertisements was Will Bunch, the liberal author and columnist for the Philadelphia Inquirer. Having his baseball game interrupted by such “vile right-wing political ads” was clearly more
One of the oddest orthodoxies of modern “anti-racist” doctrine is that only white people can be racist. (Or, as a Vice writer declared in October 2016, “It’s literally impossible to be racist to a white person.”) When the journalist Sarah Jeong was engulfed in a controversy over a series of old tweets lambasting white people — “Oh man it’s kind of sick how much joy I get out of being cruel to old white men” — her defenders on the left “were quick to say that the statements Jeong made could be skewed as racist only if the culture, history and current sociopolitical context of the United States were ignored,
When the Bureau of Labor Statistics reported last week that September’s inflation rate remained at an unacceptably high 8.2 percent, it sealed the fate of the Democrats. Despite risible claims by President Joe Biden that his policies are helping, the consumer price index (CPI) confirmed that the cost of necessities like food, energy, and housing continues to increase apace. Many hit hardest by this trend are minority voters upon whom the Democrats depend for their survival.
After Stacey Abrams lost her 2018 bid to be the next Governor of Georgia (not that she admitted the loss until recently), she founded a political action committee named Fair Fight PAC that was intended to “combat voter suppression” in the Peach State, which she blamed for her loss or unacknowledged victory, depending on which day you asked her. Fair Fight PAC has since raked in a considerable flow of cash from liberals around the nation who sympathized with her unfair treatment at the hands of the corrupt Republicans in Georgia or whatever. But where has all of that money been going?
Former Democratic Rep. Tulsi Gabbard of Hawaii on Tuesday labeled the Democratic Party as a group dominated by ideologues who stomp out dissent for the sake of their power.
“I think the Democratic Party leaders, people like Hillary Clinton, people who’ve been in charge for a very long time, foment this kind of culture of fear and like, hey, if you go against us, like you’re dead, you’re on the s---t list,” she said during an appearance on Joe Rogan’s podcast, according to one segment posted to Twitter.
“You have kind of the very loud activists who don’t represent, I think, even the
Tulsi Gabbard is not alone

Tulsi Gabbard is leaving the Democratic Party because it no longer reflects her values.
In a Twitter thread and accompanying video, Gabbard cited the party’s adherence to a woke, alienating agenda. Gabbard discussed her concerns about racial division and anti-white racism, the abandonment of the rule of law, the prioritization of the well-being of criminals over the safety of law-abiding citizens, and the rejection of objective reality, particularly in the realm of biological sex.. "Women exist and are not just a construct in someone’s mind," she said, highlighting the ways in which radical gender theory has obliterated the definition and use of the word "woman,"
The U.S. economy continues to show signs that it is in a recession and that recovery is going to take a long, long time.
The housing market is serving as the canary in the coal mine.
Per CNBC, "total mortgage application volume fell 14.2%" in the last week of September, compared with the previous week. Refinancing volume dropped 18 percent for the week and "was 86% lower than the same week one year ago." Mortgage applications to purchase a home fell 13 percent and are down 37 percent from last year.

Former Democratic National Committee chairman Howard Dean claimed Thursday on MSNBC’s “The Beat” that the Democrats will increase their majorities in both the U.S Senate and House in November’s midterm election.
Dean said, “I’ll make this prediction right now we’ll pick up two to three in the Senate and pick up House. We will pick up seats in the House and not lose them. I think we will take two more than we have today n the House. It’s just because when you see these early turnout figures, and you better be one of them if you’re watching this, that is a very good thing for people who are angry,
While we should never count our chickens until they are fully out of their shells, there is almost unanimous agreement among the major polling groups that the GOP should be able to retake the majority in the House next month. (Insert the standard caveat about how bad the polling has been of late here.) If that happens, House Minority Leader Kevin McCarthy still appears to be the odds-on favorite to be the next Speaker, though that assumption also comes with a few caveats. Some of the GOP members in the lower chamber have clearly been feeling their oats and have been starting to suggest that Joe Biden might be impeached
First lady Jill Biden has insisted her embattled stepson Hunter is “innocent” and has broken no laws amid an ongoing federal investigation.
“Everybody and their brother has investigated Hunter,” Jill Biden told NBC News in an interview published Friday.
“They keep at it, and at it, and at it,” the first lady added. “I know that Hunter is innocent. I love my son, and I will keep looking forward.”
Investigators have reportedly gathered enough evidence to charge the 52-year-old Hunter with potential tax crimes and allegedly lying about his drug abuse so he could buy a gun.
We’ve seen a lot of climate change protesters in this country. They’re usually incredibly annoying, doing things like blocking traffic by linking themselves together on the highway or gluing their hands to something.
Last week as we reported, we saw these two people throw soup at Van Gogh’s Sunflowers and glue themselves to the wall. [Videos]
The young woman with pink hair is bordering on hysterical as she tries to convince people of the importance of their actions.
The usual reaction to people like this has been to cut them loose or free them from the glue and arrest them.
Former President Donald Trump was subpoenaed Friday for documents and his testimony by the House select committee investigating the Jan. 6, 2021 assault on the Capitol.
Committee Chairman Rep. Bennie Thompson, Democrat of Mississippi, and Vice Chair Rep. Liz Cheney, Republican of Wyoming, issued the subpoena to Trump in a letter eight days after the panel's unanimous vote to do so, at the end of what was likely the committee's final hearing.
The committee demands that the former president submit documentary material by Nov. 4, which would be followed by "one or more days" of his deposition under oath "on or about" Nov. 14, according to the panel's letter.
Tucker Carlson provided an accurate assessment of the overt anti-white racism in America that goes not only unchecked, but often praised. His comparison to Rwanda’s eventual genocide doesn’t feel that far off when one considers the daily reminders by many prominent media personalities and politicians of the “whiteness” that pervades this country.
So it comes as no surprise that sheltered, entitled, and ignorant professional athletes would share these same anti-white views. For supposedly being oppressed, there is no shortage of self-esteem among leftist blacks. If they truly feared for their lives, it goes without saying that they’d hesitate to make such remarks.
According to the findings of German research, one in every 700 children under the age of five who received the Pfizer mRNA Covid vaccine was hospitalized with severe adverse events (SAE), and one in every 200 children had ‘symptoms that were currently ongoing and thus of unknown significance.’
The study, “Comparative Safety of the BNT162b2 Messenger RNA COVID-19 Vaccine vs Other Approved Vaccines in Children Younger Than 5 Years,” was published in JAMA on Tuesday, two days before the CDC’s Advisory Committee on Immunization Practices voted to recommend COVID-19 to be included in the 2023 childhood immunization schedule.
Participants in this retrospective cohort study were German parents or caregivers
President Joe Biden on Friday acknowledged that polls were swinging toward Republicans and issued a last-minute economic warning to Americans if they took power.
“If you’re worried about the economy, you need to know this. Republican leadership in congress has made it clear,” Biden said. “They will crash the economy next year by threatening the full faith and credit of the United States.”
Biden delivered a speech at the White House warning that if Republicans won power in Congress, they would stop his multi-trillion dollar spending agenda and push for tax cuts and spending cuts.
A new poll found that nearly 80% of American voters believe that minors should be required to wait until they are adults to pursue transgender procedures. The national survey, conducted by Convention of States Action, in partnership with The Trafalgar Group, polled over 1,000 likely 2022 election voters in October. When asked if they “believe underage minors should be required to wait until they are adults to use puberty blockers and undergo permanent sex change procedures,” the poll found that 78.7% of all respondents comprising Democrats, Republicans, and non-partisan affiliations said they should “wait.”
Pennsylvania Democratic Senate hopeful John Fetterman's wife Gisele stepped in and shut down a reporter who asked the lieutenant governor if he was satisfied with the progress made of the downed Pittsburgh bridge. 'We're not here to do interviews, we're here to celebrate,' Gisele told reporter Kyle Mazza of UNF News, as the couple attended an event headlined by President Joe Biden at the worksite of the Fern Hollow Bridge - the site of the January bridge collapse. Fetterman has been using closed captioning to answer questions from journalists as he recovers from his May stroke, with a sit-down with NBC
Joe Biden on Friday delivered remarks on his student debt relief program in Dover, Delaware before he takes off for another weekend vacation in Rehoboth Beach.
Biden falsely claimed he was “teaching” before he ran for president in 2020.
Over the years Joe Biden has repeatedly claimed he was a professor at UPenn.
Joe Biden was paid $1 million by UPenn but he never taught a single class.This is one of Joe Biden’s favorite lies.
Biden also told a bizarre story of how Jill Biden threatened to leave him once.
“True story – when I left the vice presidency after Beau died I wasn’t going to get involved in politics anymore so I became
Oil prices and President Joe Biden’s continued draining of the Strategic Petroleum Reserve (SPR) have dominated the headlines over the past few weeks, but analysts say a more impactful and serious crisis on the energy front looms: a diesel fuel shortage.
Diesel doesn’t get as much of the limelight as oil and gas, but it should because diesel fuel is the industrial lifeblood of the United States, and the price of diesel alone probably has a more significant impact on inflation and the prices you’re paying at the grocery store over any other factor. Without ample amounts of diesel, semi-trucks don’t move, farms are shut down, and critical manufacturing
