Three Mandates for the Midterms
Posted By: 4250Luis, 1/24/2026 6:51:06 AM
It has been widely reported that the Republican majorities in the Senate and particularly the House of Representatives are at risk in the 2026 midterm elections. This is hard to believe, given recent approval/disapproval polling on the Democrat Party. Last month Quinnipiac and other pollsters reported favorability in the low-to-mid 30s, with congressional Democrats hitting a record low job approval of 18% with 73% disapproval -- the worst since tracking began in 2009.Nevertheless, if the base of the Republican Party is not motivated to vote, there is a possibility that the party could lose its congressional majority.

Physics and reality are taking their revenge.
And New Yorkers are paying the price.
On Thursday, the Public Service Commission approved Con Ed’s request for a rate hike that will result in an additional $615 per year in gas and electricity costs for the average New York City resident by 2028.
While bureaucrats are insisting that “law, not politics” is driving the cost increases, the truth is that over the past few years, New York’s Democratic politicians have made a series of disastrous energy decisions.

President Trump assured Americans that the government is prepared for the ‘catastrophic’ Winter Storm Fern as more than 9,000 flights have been canceled across the US.
Over 235 million people under winter storm warnings have begun to hunker down as the devastating storm is projected to bring snow, ice and frigid temperatures to parts of 40 states stretching from Texas over to the Carolinas and up the East Coast.
Trump urged residents in Fern’s path on Friday night to “stay safe and stay warm” and that the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) is ready to respond to the potentially historic storm.

Beirut has recently become a focal point for a growing network of Iranian-backed Iraqi actors moving money, securing assets, and embedding themselves in an opaque, cash-based economy. In December, Iraq inaugurated a permanent office inside its Beirut embassy, officially to oversee $20 million in reconstruction aid pledged during the Arab Summit in Baghdad in May 2025. Lebanese President Joseph Aoun praised the move as a “gesture of Arab solidarity,” emphasizing the return of Shiite residents to their villages.
Where The Rubber Meets The Democrat Road

Perhaps, like me, you have some people in your life you love who vote Democrat. And perhaps, also like me, you have agreed to disagree on political matters and to just avoid the subject of politics altogether. If your Democrats are like mine, they’re not loons. They’re just misinformed or uniformed, but they are otherwise reasonable. This is key: they are otherwise reasonable.
Well, it’s time to breach that wall and once again talk politics with your reasonable but misguided loved ones. We’ve got a country to save and we can do our part by trying to reach our reasonable loved ones.
For the entirety of the Biden term, Arizona, one of the states abutting the border with Mexico, was an illegal immigration freeway. It’s currently estimated to have as many as 300,000 illegal aliens, although I suspect the number is higher, and Kris Mayes, Arizona’s Democrat attorney general, wants to keep it that way. Not only has she set up an official hotline for doxxing ICE agents, but she’s also promised to prosecute them if they violate state law, and subtly encouraged people to shoot them. This is an amalgamation of illegal, unconstitutional, and downright evil.
President Trump told The Post he posted private text messages from French President Emmanuel Macron and NATO Secretary-General Mark Rutte because they “made my point” — as he revealed he spent Monday halting a prison break in Syria by European terrorists.
Trump posted fawning messages from Macron and Rutte praising the US president for unspecified actions in Syria — and pleading with him for dialogue on his bid to annex Greenland — hours before world leaders gather at the Davos summit in Switzerland.
“It just made my point. They’re saying, ‘Oh gee, let’s have dinner, let’s do this, let’s do that.’ It just made my point,”

Don Lemon did something miraculous on Sunday: He managed to prove he is even more despicable than we previously thought.
What a feat for that putz.
The former CNN anchor livestreamed himself joining a band of lunatic anti-ICE protesters who stormed the Cities Church in St. Paul, Minnesota, after reports that a pastor there might be affiliated with ICE — though there’s been no confirmation of such a link. Lemon, who is no longer affiliated with a news outlet, enthusiastically embedded with the group that barged into the house of God, shattering the peace and security of a Sunday service and exhibiting behavior befitting a psychiatric ward at Bellevue.
This story out of the Netherlands is the best example of "toxic empathy" that is poisoning the West.
Stek Oost, in Amsterdam, was sold as the "solution" to both the housing and refugee crises in the country. A plan would have 125 Dutch students and 125 migrants living in the same building to "aid integration." What happened next was predictable by everyone except the authorities who green-lit this experiment. But students living there told Dutch investigative documentary programme Zembla they faced multiple sexual assaults, harassment, violence, stalking and even claimed a gang rape had taken place.
The Republican National Committee Chair Joe Gruters argued on 77 WABC radio’s the “Cats Roundtable" that the Democrats' shift further to the left is a signal that Republicans will be able to "defy history" and maintain control of Congress following the 2026 midterm elections. He said the election of figures like New York City Mayor Zohran Mamdani and other so-called rogue radicals indicates that the Democratic Party is willing to embrace extremism. As many conservative commentators have voiced, the election most likely to implement common-sense policies aligned with its party platform is the one the American people will choose to grant political power.
U-Haul’s Election Lesson
4 replies
Pennsylvania is hemorrhaging residents and resources. And it’s been happening for years.
The recent U-Haul Growth Index shows that people are voting with their feet against Pennsylvania and other purple and blue states that have become inhospitable as places to live, work, and raise a family. And these out-migrators are heading to redder states that welcome them.
In 2025, Texas, Florida, North Carolina, and Tennessee topped U-Haul’s ‘in-migration’ states, measured by one-way customer moves. Meanwhile, Pennsylvania ranked an abysmal 44th.
The impact of losing friends and families—and their wealth—to other states should be the canary in the coal mine for Pennsylvanians getting ready for another election year in 2026.
He is the one tossing concepts on the whiteboard, storyboarding strong possibilities, and forcing the political system to grapple with problems it has ignored for decades. He understands something most career politicians never grasp: not every idea survives first contact with reality. But no progress happens without someone willing to propose ideas in the first place. That is why the latest round of criticism of Trump’s proposal to cap credit card interest rates misses the point entirely.
Much of the conservative movement has bristled at the idea, and the concerns are serious.

California Democratic Gov. Gavin Newsom announced Friday that the Golden State will remain a part of the World Health Organization's network, even though the Trump administration just completed the United States' withdrawal from the WHO.
Newsom made the announcement after meeting with WHO Director-General Dr. Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus at the World Economic Forum in Davos, Switzerland, this week.
The governor said California is now the first and only state to join WHO's Global Outbreak Alert & Response Network, which is tasked with rapidly detecting, verifying, assessing, and responding to emerging public health threats.
Iran claimed this week to have successfully tested its first long-range intercontinental ballistic missile (ICBM), a capability that would enable Tehran to strike the eastern seaboard of the United States, according to regime-controlled outlets.
The regime purportedly conducted its missile launch from an Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps base in the city of Semnan, firing toward Siberia with the approval of the Russian government. The missile would have traveled up to 3,700 miles to reach its target, though video of the supposed launch only shows an airborne projectile soaring through the clouds. The footage was initially posted on social media on Monday by an Iranian professor and subsequently amplified
Arizona Attorney General Kris Mayes wildly suggested that residents can open fire on masked ICE agents if they feel their life is in danger under the state’s self-defense laws.
The Democrat, in a sit-down with 12 News anchor Brahm Resnik, warned that Arizona’s “Stand Your Ground” law, which allows citizens to use deadly force if they believe they’re in imminent danger, could become a “recipe for disaster” if protesters clash with immigration officers.
“It’s kind of a recipe for disaster because you have these masked federal officers with very little identification, sometimes no identification, wearing plain clothes and masks,” Mayes said in the Monday interview, calling ICE “very poorly trained.”
The private sector is built on merit and legitimate contribution, so it goes without saying that people without such things have no place in that type of economy. But, fear not, for the government is always there, ready to hand out taxpayer-subsidized jobs to those who could never earn an income where brains and skill actually matter. (Bonus points if the unhirable loser is a third world foreigner who hates the host nation and its people.)

Minnesota Governor Tim Walz has started raising money for a legal defense fund after the Department of Justice subpoenaed Walz, Minneapolis Mayor Jacob Frey, and with others for allegedly conspiring to impede law enforcement. This also comes as there has been massive fallout from a fraud scandal that has plagued Minnesota.
In a message sent out to supporters, Walz said, “Tim Walz here. Last week, the federal government opened an investigation into me. This comes just weeks after a federal ICE agent fatally shot Renee Good in Minneapolis, unleashing chaos across our city.

Tensions between the United States and Canada have rapidly escalated this week after Canadian Prime Minister Mark Carney delivered a rousing speech at the World Economic Forum in Davos, Switzerland, on Tuesday, declaring a “rupture” in the old world order and calling on “middle powers” to unite.
The once jovial public relationship between Carney and President Trump has descended into a barbed back-and-forth, with Trump on Friday disinviting Canada from his Board of Peace, which Ottawa was already hesitant to join.
Trump Owned Davos

European leaders worked themselves up into full-blown hysteria before President Trump spoke to the World Economic Forum this week with wild claims that Trump planned a U.S. invasion of Greenland that would destroy the NATO alliance and the rules-based international order. A couple of dozen European troops were hurriedly sent to Greenland. French President Macron called for an emergency G7 summit. European leaders also discussed implementing a “bazooka” trade retaliation against the United States.
But when Trump spoke at the Davos Summit on Wednesday, these hair-on-fire claims melted away in the face of his masterful speech, which laid out in depth his successful record of promoting global security and ending wars.
Some of us are old enough to remember Matthew Lesko, the lanky, fast-talking late-night TV pitchman who promised people free government money to those who bought his books.
There are, Lesko said in one of his countless ads decades ago, “15,000 programs you can use to get a better job, get an education, or start your own business. Those who know about the programs are the ones who get the money!” Lesko was right about how easy it is to get taxpayer money.
What Lesko didn’t say is that it’s easy to do even when it violates the law — especially if you live in a state run by Democrats.

You may recall the controversy over Democrat Jay Jones' resurfaced texts in which he fantasized about the death of political opponent former Virginia House Speaker Todd Gilbert and his children.
Despite that, he won the race for attorney general in Virginia, which has to make you wonder what the people who voted for him were thinking. That was just one of the problematic issues about Jones [snip] Even WJLA reporter Nick Minock reported how people were having fun with it on their Facebook, including asking if Jones got his degree from the Quality Learing Center
General Motors has announced that production of the newly updated 2027 Chevrolet Bolt EV will end after approximately 18 months to make way for a gas-powered Buick crossover at its Kansas manufacturing facility.
Inside EVs reports that General Motors has confirmed plans to discontinue production of the heavily updated 2027 Chevrolet Bolt electric vehicle after a limited production run of about one and a half years. The decision will allow the automaker to repurpose its Fairfax, Kansas, factory for manufacturing the Buick Envision, a gas-powered crossover currently built in China that will be reshored to the United States.
A Chevrolet spokesperson confirmed the move, stating that when
