Republican Steve Garvey is polling ahead of the Democrats in the running for California’s Senate seat, now in a “statistical tie” with front-runner Rep. Adam Schiff (D-CA). With the Super Tuesday primaries next week, the University of California, Berkeley, Institute of Governmental Studies released a final poll showing Garvey with support from 27% of likely voters, followed by Schiff at 25%. Rep. Katie Porter (D-CA), who has been competing with Garvey for second place in recent weeks, fell to third in the new poll unveiled Friday. Porter earned 19%, and Rep. Barbara Lee (D-CA) trailed the three contenders with 8%.

Along with Garvey there are three Democrats running for senator. The top two vote getters will run against each other in the general election, not matter their party. As of now it looks like Shiff and Garvey are tied, according to latest polls, with around 25% each. The other two Democrat nutjobs have around 27% combined. Upon their defeat much of their support will switch to Shiff in the general. Still, this will be the first time in many years that one of those running will be a Republican. If Garvey is super tough and aggressive against Shiff he may have a chance. Not much of one, but hope springs eternal.

As #4 points out, if he gets through the primary the odds of winning in November will be 3-to-1 against him. Every commercial break on AM radio and local television has at least one ad claiming that Garvey is "too MAGA" for California. Most are paid for by a PAC that favors no dem candidate - they just want Garvey primary'd.

It would be a public service if Garvey could knock out either Schiff-for-brains or Porter in the primary. But not much chance he will prevail in the general election. California electorate is just too far gone. And conservative types like my entire family have fled to red states (Idaho for us). So our votes are gone.

The ballots come in the mail. There are ballot collection boxes everywhere. So if somehow, someone, so having the ballots going only to live eligible voters is a challenge. Didn't True the Vote get a million "voters" removed from the rolls in LA county? They were ineligible or did not exist. Across a state of just under 40 million how many registrations are valid? So Garvey goes in to the general with the polls showing 2 to 1 against him, he fights, pulls even, pulls ahead and then?? They count and count and somehow the ballots for Schiff just keep showing up.

The irony is that Schiff probably will still win even though it is now known that he and his wife live in Maryland, have for many years, and lies about his residence either in Cali or Maryland.

In 1984, the Reagan-Bush campaign aired a political commercial that helped seal their landslide re-election, winning 49 states and 525 electoral votes. “Morning in America“ is an iconic piece of political history — a video that is fondly nostalgic for the Boomer generation because the Reagan years were a golden time of peace and prosperity. As a generation, the Boomers truly came of age, put the Cold War behind them, lived without crime and discord, and saw the beginnings of the greatest stock market boom in history. It was that special time that comes once in the life of every generation.

An 11-year-old boy from the United Kingdom has died after huffing toxic chemicals in a TikTok challenge known as “chroming” — and his devastated family wants the social media company shut down and all others barred from children under 16. Tommie-Lee Gracie Billington, 11, suffered a suspected cardiac arrest at a friend’s house in Lancaster on Saturday, according to the Times of London. He was rushed to a nearby hospital just, where he died. “He died instantly after a sleepover at a friend’s house.

Washington— President Joe Biden is set to use his State of the Union address Thursday to promote his vision for a second term to a dispirited electorate that questions whether he’s up to the job and to warn that GOP front-runner Donald Trump would be a dangerous alternative. Biden’s third such address from the House rostrum will be something of an on-the-job interview, as the nation’s oldest president tries to quell voter concerns about his age and job performance while sharpening the contrast with his all-but-certain November rival.The president hopes to showcase his accomplishments on infrastructure and manufacturing, as well as push for action on aid to Ukraine, tougher

Joe Biden's administration has admitted transporting migrants on secret flights into the U.S. and lawyers for its immigration agencies claim revealing the locations could create national security 'vulnerabilities'. Customs and Border Protection has refused to disclose information about a program last year secretly arranging flights for thousands of undocumented immigrants from foreign airports directly to U.S. cities. It means that while record numbers of migrants were flowing over the southern border last year, the Biden White House was also directly transporting them into the country. Use of a cell phone app has allowed for the near undetected arrival by air of 320,000 aliens with no legal rights

New York City Mayor Eric Adams (D) and Gov. Kathy Hochul (D-NY) are fighting back against crime in the New York City subway system by reinstating bag checks. Hochul announced Wednesday she is deploying 1,000 additional law enforcement officers to the subway, including 750 New York National Guard members and 250 members of law enforcement. Adams ordered an additional 1,000 law enforcement officials to patrol the subway in February after the city saw a 45% increase in crime in January compared to January of last year. “We know people feel unsafe,” Adams said. “We are reinstituting bag checks. There are several things we are reinstituting in the system.”

"I have no regrets," she said as she delivered a short speech to supporters. She did not endorse Donald Trump. I didn't anticipate that she would do that today. That may change down the road, we'll have to wait and see. She did offer her congratulations to Trump and wished him well. Haley liked to say that her campaign was not all about her, that it was not personal. She said she was running for the sake of America.

Any voter who listened to a stump speech from former South Carolina Gov. Nikki Haley during her primary campaign against Donald Trump -- which she just ended -- was likely to hear a variation of one message: The former president can't win in November because he's been losing a notable minority of Republican voters. "He lost 40% of the primary vote in all of the early states," she said last week at a campaign rally in Minnesota. "You can't win the general election if you can't win that 40% [back]." Haley was exaggerating. For example, in the 15 GOP states that voted on Super Tuesday, she has gotten less than 20%
