NOTABLE QUOTES

Just the News staff: California Rep. Eric Swalwell says parental involvement in education is the equivalent of allowing medical patients to dictate their own surgeries, a biting remark in an ongoing political fight over what children learn in the classroom. 

Kevin McCarthy House Minority Leader: “It has been 2 years, 7 months, and 29 days since the People’s House closed. That means for 973 days, the American People have been restricted from exercising their constitutional right to petition the first branch of government… That posture is no longer acceptable.”

Tristan Justice correspondent  for The Federalist: Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell is making a play for another term in leadership after he sabotaged chances for a GOP majority.

Mark Levin Fox News host tweeted: It’s time for McConnell and this gang to go.  They take credit for raising and spending hundreds of millions of dollars and then blame conservatives (the base) when their efforts fall short.  We don’t need any lectures from them.

Larry O’Connor Townhall columnist: The fact is that when all is said and done, the Republicans will have a majority in the House of Representatives. It might be a small majority, but it will be a majority nonetheless. And the fact of the matter is the gavel that comes with the powers of the Speaker of the House is the same size whether you have a one-seat majority or a 50-seat majority.

Molly Hemingway is the editor in chief of  The Federalist: “We really did see, given all the enthusiasm that was in the country, that Republican leadership really failed Republican voters. The ground was very fertile for a big Republican victory, Joe Biden’s approval is in the toilet, 75 percent of the country thinks we’re going in the wrong direction. Just objectively speaking, things are bad in the country. … And that Republican leaders could not turn that into a big victory for Republicans really is an indictment of how they’re running things.”

Aaron Kliegman reporter for Just the News: The country may have experienced a red wave after all. It just didn’t translate into the electoral outcomes that have historically accompanied major political shifts — and after the initial wave of instant narratives extemporized by pundits on election night, close observers are now just beginning to dig for the reasons underlying the model-shattering disconnect. Republicans are currently winning the national popular vote for the House in Tuesday’s midterm elections by a large margin, according to the latest data from the Cook Political Report. Specifically, GOP candidates have so far received 50,672,592 votes, or 52.3% of the total ballots cast as of this writing. Democrat candidates, by comparison, have so far received 44,802,597 votes, or 46.2% of the total. 

Jordan Schachtel investigative journalist: The midterm elections provided incredible clarity about the current state of affairs in the United States. Free State America and Security State America are divided now more than ever. The Security State Americans have usurped complete control of our federal institutions, and they have no real opposition in Washington. For freedom-loving Americans, the answers are not to be found in D.C., but much closer to home. 

Dr. Naomi Wolf: We think of the secret ballot as being fundamental to our rights, and indeed to our democratic system, and in many ways that belief is correct. Or it certainly would be correct, if those secret ballots were cast in a verifiable, accurately- tabulating voting system.

Jack McEvoy reporter for Daily Caller: Roughly 49% of independent voters nationwide chose Democratic House candidates while 47% voted for Republicans, according to Edison Research exit polls conducted for CNN.

Ben Armstrong contributor to The New American: Known liars are telling you who won the election. Why would you believe people who lie to you every day about everything else, but they magically become truth tellers on election night.

Federal Trade Commission spokesperson keeping watch on Twitter:  “We are tracking recent developments at Twitter with deep concern. No CEO or company is above the law, and companies must follow our consent decrees. Our revised consent order gives us new tools to ensure compliance, and we are prepared to use them.”

President Biden said on Thursday: “Today’s report shows that we are making progress on bringing inflation down, without giving up all of the progress we have made on economic growth and job creation. My economic plan is showing results, and the American people can see that we are facing global economic challenges from a position of strength.”

Kevin Downey, Jr contributor to PJMedia: Maybe letting a 14-year-old son of liberals have his penis scalped off is a good thing. We just won’t allow our kids to do it. Why do we care if big blue cities are killing grounds? We can stay out of them. Let the left eat one another. The problem is this: communism doesn’t stop spreading. The pinkos don’t just want Michigan, Pennsylvania, and New York. They want Indiana, Florida, Tennessee, and every red state in the nation. Commies are never satiated.

Emerald Robinson’s HOT TAKE: @RepAndyBiggsAZ says the Republican caucus should debate the future of leadership in the House, adding that a “Speaker McCarthy” should not be a foregone conclusion for a Republican majority.

Tucker Carlson Fox News host: We’re speaking specifically of the Republican leadership of the House and the Senate and of the RNC. There’s nothing personal. Some of them are no doubt nice people, but they took hundreds of millions of dollars to paint the map red and they didn’t. It doesn’t mean they’re evil. It doesn’t mean they should be jailed. It does mean they shouldn’t be promoted. No one should ever be rewarded for failure. If there’s a truly conservative principle in life, it’s the principle of the meritocracy. You reward excellence. You do not reward mediocrity and when you do, things fall apart.

Michael Wilkerson contributor to American Greatness: The American public repeatedly has been told that the Russian army is demoralized, that the Ukrainian military is prevailing on the battlefield, that Putin is dying of cancer and/or his generals are revolting, that sanctions are working, and that Russia’s economy is now worse than it was before the war. Like all good lies, these are built on kernels of truth exaggerated, twisted, or grossly inverted. The fact, as distasteful as it feels to most Americans and to me, is that Putin has a firm grip on power, Russian national income remains strong, and Russia has the upper hand in the conflict. Russia will outlast Ukraine and the West in this conflict.

John Hayward’s Threadreader: The greatest trick the devil ever pulled was convincing the world he didn’t exist. The greatest trick the Left ever pulled was convincing us “normal” doesn’t exist. Obliterating the concept of healthy, normal life was a step toward creating obedient, programmable New Soviet Man. 

Rebecca Weisser contributor to The Spectator: Inside a droplet of vaccine are strange mechanical structures. They seem motionless at first but when Nixon used time-lapse photography to condense 48 hours of footage into two minutes, it showed what appear to be mechanical arms assembling and disassembling glowing rectangular structures that look like circuitry and micro chips. These are not ‘manufactured products’ in the CDC’s words because they construct and deconstruct themselves but the formation of the crystals seems to be stimulated by electromagnetic radiation and stops when the slide with the vaccine is shielded by a Faraday bag.

Ballasy: Gingrich suspects Trump rethinking 2024: He’s ‘got to look at the results and be troubled’

“I mean, just in my own emails today, the number of people who want somebody other than Trump who have decided, literally overnight, that person is going to be DeSantis, he’s going to find it almost impossible to avoid running,” Gingrich said on Wednesday.  “I think Trump’s got to look at the results and be troubled,” he added. “I can tell you, for me, this was not the result I expected. I thought we’d win a lot more seats.” Gingrich added that Republicans have to look at the results and ask themselves what they did wrong and where they go from here.

Skeet: DeSantis in 2024

With the midterms behind us and 2024 already shaping up, the elephant in the room needs to be addressed.  Trump has all but announced his intention to run, and there is no reason to think DeSantis won’t do the same.  There are other possible contenders (Haley, Pompeo, Pence, Noemi, etc.) but Trump and DeSantis have already emerged as the clear front runners.  And with the information available to us now, I would argue that DeSantis is the better choice. Let me be clear, I am very grateful to Trump for what he accomplished during his presidency.  I voted for Trump in the 2016 primary, in the 2016 election, in the 2020 election, and would wholeheartedly vote for him again in 2024 if he is the nominee.  I support almost everything he did during his tenure, I loved how he took the media to task, and I felt the Deep State-media alliance against him was one of the most despicable, unconstitutional stains on our nation’s history.  He exposed Conservative Caribbean Cruises Inc. for the weathervane fraud that it was.  He destroyed the Bush, Cheney, and Clinton dynasties.  He changed American politics forever, and try as they might, neither the Left nor their NeverTrump sock puppets can put the toothpaste back in the tube.

Trump was exactly the right man for 2016.  But Trump is currently devolving into more of a permanent liability than anything else, and he’s reached a point where his faults outweigh his virtues. AGE . . . INFLUENCE . . . PERMANENT INSTABILITY . . . EGO . . .ELECTABILITY . . .

Laad: In defense of President Trump, following the midterm disappointment

Moments after Donald Trump announced that he was running for president from Trump Tower in New York in June 2015, experts summarily dismissed him, claiming he delivered the worst campaign launch speech in political history and it was the end of Trump before he even began. […]  When Trump won the election, a host of former celebrities appeared in a PSA urging members of the Electoral College not to cast their vote for President-Elect Trump, despite him winning the required votes. Experts claimed that that could be the end of Trump. The experts began talking about the end of Trump via impeachment and the 25th Amendment even before Trump was inaugurated. All through his presidency, their predictions about Trump’s end were frequent. […]  Now that the GOP has underperformed during the midterms, they are once again claiming it is the end of Trump and the beginning of the era of Ron DeSantis. Many conservatives have joined in. Ann Coulter wrote on Breitbart that: “A Nation Rejoices! A Humiliating Defeat for Trump.” David Frum wrote, “Trump Lost the Midterms. Ron DeSantis Won.” The Democrat media also joined in. Chuck Todd called it . . . […]  The claim being made is that DeSantis has a broader appeal, and is more disciplined and focused than Trump, so this victory in Florida makes him a more viable presidential candidate than Trump. Really? Let’s look at the vote count in Florida.

Zindulka: ‘Titanic Clash’ Brewing Between Trump and DeSantis After Midterm Results, Predicts Brexit’s Nigel Farage

Speaking from the mid-term battleground state of Arizona on Wednesday morning, Nigel Farage said that while Republican gains in Congress will limit President Biden’s ability to govern, the failure of a so-called ‘Red Wave’ to materialise will likely elevate Ron DeSantis in the eyes of conservative voters as it will not provide the “huge springboard” Donald Trump had hoped for before his expected announcement of his intention to run for president again. The veteran political campaigner turned GB News host said that discussions “within the Republican party as to whether they should pick Trump or DeSantis is going to reach fever pitch, in my opinion, over the next few weeks, and I say that as a friend of Donald Trump.”

(H/T DG) Barone: Trump and Biden Big Losers, DeSantis Big Winner in 2022

One way to look at this election is as a repudiation of Donald Trump and Joe Biden. Democrats held 235 seats in the House in 2018 as Biden launched his campaign for president. To the surprise of prognosticators, they won just a bare majority, 222, on the day he was elected in 2020. As this is written, it looks like they will win about 211 this year. That’s more than most forecasts, but the trend is not in Biden’s direction. At best, it’s slow leakage of the Democratic coalition. Enough Senate races are up in the air, as I write, to be certain, but Republicans have lost a seat in Pennsylvania, lead in a seat in Nevada, and have a chance at a 51st seat in a Georgia runoff on Dec. 6. Nationalizing the race may help Republican Herschel Walker win unless former President Donald Trump comes in and depresses turnout by casting doubts on the process, as he did two years ago — helping Democrats win their 49th and 50th Senate seats on Jan. 5, 2021. […] Relitigating the 2020 election is a backward-looking posture and a vote-loser. Achieving a solid list of goals, delivering on promises, and standing up to criticism from the press with a solid command of the evidence is a vote-winner. Donald Trump and Joe Biden were the big election losers this week. Ron DeSantis was the big winner.

Lyman: ‘They’re Going To Have To Eat Their Words’: Kari Lake Fires Back At Those Turning Against Trump

“We’re going to win probably comfortably, and [Blake Masters] going to win but it’s going to be tighter. But we believe Blake Masters has a very, very, very good shot of winning, and they’re afraid,” Lake said. “They wanted, you know, the whole narrative, the reason they slow-rolled these results was, ‘Oh, the Trump-endorsed candidates didn’t do well. Didn’t do well.’ We’re going to win in Arizona and they’re going to have to eat their words.”

Hoft: “Killing the King” Rupert Murdoch, FOX News and GOP Elites Want to “Dump Trump” – Rob Schmitt’s Brilliant Open on Newsmax

The GOP elites have never accepted MAGA nation. They are embarrassed by their voters. They would rather play controlled opposition than to listen to the majority of Americans who support President Trump and still believe his election was stolen. On Thursday Rob Schmitt from Newsmax opened with a 14-minute segment on how the GOP elites, Paul Ryan, and the Murdoch empire is hoping they can destroy Trump and the pro-American movement he started. […]  They believe the true enemy is their voting base and not the Marxist left.

GAETZ: America Needs Trump Back In The White House

I can rattle you off statistics about how much better America was two years ago. Gas prices were roughly half of what they are now. There was about a third less fentanyl crossing the border. We were also not on the brink of nuclear war with Russia. You know how much better life was under President Donald Trump than Biden, you don’t need me to tell you that. It’s time now, though, to look to the future. The job President Trump started was not finished. Only Trump can be trusted to enact the “America First” agenda he ran on in 2016. We won’t accept any imitation. Despite what many Washington, D.C., conservative elites want you to believe, we are not in the “post-Trump era” or close to it. We are still in the midst of the revolution started by Trump when he rode down that golden escalator.

Hazard: New York GOP Rep. Elise Stefanik endorses Trump for president in 2024

“Republican voters determine who is the leader of the Republican Party and it’s very clear President Trump is the leader of the Republican Party. What the media fails to report is that we just won the midterms and flipped the House,” Stefanik said in a statement to Breitbart News.

As of now, Stefanik is the only member of the House to officially endorse Donald Trump.

Colon: Why Do You Still Hate Donald Trump?

Since the over-hyped red wave did not happen on Nov. 8, Trump is being blamed for sabotaging the election. Articles by Never-Trumpers and the usual suspects in the lamestream media are flooding the news and unfortunately, many disheartened MAGA voters don’t seem to recognize that TDS is still the modus operandi for the left. The fact is that Trump has had a huge target on his back since he came down the escalator to announce his candidacy. Like many other conservatives, I thought this was a joke but his primary win and his debate performance besting our first choices was no fluke and destroyed our negative first impression. Our favorite president in our lifetime, Ronald Reagan, was a movie star, and Donald Trump was TV star, but could he be for real? Could he be what this country needed?  The unequivocal answer is Yes.! There is no question that Donald Trump is a flawed human being like most successful businessmen. Whenever I read the complaints from Trump haters, its all about his personality, his tweets, his misogynism, his sexist remarks, blah, blah, blah. This is infantile, high school criticism that has no place in political punditry. Is he an egoist, a megalomaniac? Probably, . . .

Sundance: President Trump Fires Back Against Ron DeSantis, Con Inc and Coordinated Narrative Midterm Effort

President Trump can see and hear the same things everyone else can see and hear, including the coordinated media and GOPe effort to diminish him and the MAGA movement within the Republican club. The Democrats and professional Republican class both want to see the populist movement destroyed for the same reason Mitch McConnell wanted the Tea Party destroyed in 2010.  The assembly of the united middle-class and blue-collar base inside the Republican Party, essentially the broad MAGA movement, represents a Main Street threat to Wall Street control of the GOPe. There are trillions at stake. As Florida Governor Ron DeSantis’ megadonor and Citadel hedge fund billionaire, Ken Griffin, openly admitted recently the Wall Street goals are (1) stop the populist movement and (2) get the Republican Party back in alignment with the multinational “corporate world.”  These are the same goals of the Republican leadership in Washington DC and the same goals as the corporate media who serve as the public relations firms for Wall Street. The collaborative group, which includes the entirety of the funding mechanism and management behind Ron DeSantis, viewed the 2022 midterm election as an opportunity to reset the Republican Party away from the populist MAGA influence. […]  President Trump isn’t pretending.  He’s targeting Florida Governor Ron DeSantis because President Trump, like us, can clearly see the nature of the construct that has been manufactured to oppose the MAGA movement.  This is a fight for the future of the Republican party. DeSantis is playing too-cute-by-half, in pretending not to be a participant in the professional republican operation.

Samuels: DeSantis may face renewed pressure to take on Trump

“DeSantis made a convincing case that he, rather than Trump, gives Republicans the best chance to defeat Biden (or some other Democrat) in 2024,” Scott Jennings, a former adviser to former President George W. Bush and Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-Ky.), wrote in a CNN op-ed on Wednesday.

[…] In DeSantis, they may have found their preferred candidate to rally behind, even as the likes of former Vice President Mike Pence, former Secretary of State Mike Pompeo and Virginia Gov. Glenn Youngkin loom as potential alternatives.

ALL EYES ARE ON ARIZONA

Johnson: WHAT’S THE MATTER WITH ARIZONA?

I developed a healthy respect for attorney John A. “Jack” Clifford many years ago when we represented adverse parties in an intellectual property dispute. Jack is of counsel with Merchant & Gould. P.C. He sends us this first-hand report under the heading WHAT IS WRONG WITH MARICOPA COUNTY? PLENTY AND IT’S COMPLICATED. The AP’s latest story on the doings in Arizona is here. Jack writes:  I hope you are well. I write from Maricopa County, Arizona, where I have lived, worked and voted since 2014. I write as an individual and not on behalf of any client or my law firm. First, Maricopa county is huge. The entire state of Arizona has only 10 or 11 counties, compared to a similar-sized Minnesota with 87 counties. You can drive an hour at 70 miles an hour in about any direction to get to the county line, or so it seems. For reasons that are not clear (I think convenience is the excuse), any registered voter can cast an in-person vote anywhere in the county. That sounds great until you realize that because of local school boards, water boards, and other local issues on the ballot this time not all voters have the same ballot. […] The ballots are intended to have registration marks on them to allow . . . […]  Anyway, trouble ensued again this year.

[…]  The statement said that around 7 percent of ballots, or around 17,000, were impacted by the printer issues. […]  Speaking with Charlie Kirk on Tuesday, Turning Point Action Chief Operating Officer Tyler Bowyer revealed that his ballot, and many others, had been printed so badly that machines couldn’t read them.

The election exit polls in Maricopa County, Arizona, are indicating that voter turnout for Democrats was low; high numbers of Republicans have turned out the vote, with breakdowns showing a 58% Republican to 14% Democrat ratio. An additional 28% fell in the “other” category, which is probably independents, leaning Republican and Republican voters who won’t talk to pollsters.

HOW DID FLORIDA SHIFT FROM SWING TO SOLIDLY RED?

Seminara: Ron’s Rules

On a disappointing night for Republicans, Governor Ron DeSantis crushed it in the free state of Florida, lapping his challenger, Congressman Charlie Crist, by close to 20 points.. . . in replicating DeSantis’s “win for the ages” should learn from these eight rules. Stay on offense. Given the mainstream media’s leftward tilt, Republicans are often stuck playing defense. As president, Donald Trump called the media the “enemy of the people” but also seemed to crave their approval. DeSantis, by contrast, rewrote the Republican playbook by staying on offense virtually nonstop for four years. […]  You can create your own majority with the right approach. When DeSantis took office, Democrats enjoyed a small voter-registration edge statewide, but now Republicans hold a commanding 300,000-voter lead. […]  Competence matters. Florida is a low-tax state with a healthy budget surplus and government that is well-run by almost any measure. It counted its votes faster and more efficiently than almost any other state in the last two elections. […] You don’t necessarily have to move to the center to win over independents. Republicans may have a nearly 300,000 voter advantage in the state, but DeSantis won by more than 1.5 million votes. […]  You can redraw the political map without pandering. DeSantis scored a double-digit win in Miami-Dade County, which is 70 percent Hispanic—“rewriting the political map,” as he put it, without the kind of ethnic pandering that strategists have claimed is necessary to win the Hispanic vote. […]  Create a culture where wokeness cannot thrive. Save for the far Left, Americans of all stripes and colors are fed up with wokeness, and Ron DeSantis made fighting the woke a guiding principle in office. […]  Deliver a policy-driven approach that works. Beyond the headlines, how much do you know about Ron DeSantis? […]  Court the moms. Republicans have fared poorly in recent years in seeking the female vote, but DeSantis has sagely won over moms by focusing on education.

2022 ELECTION POST MORTEM

Stiles: Great White Wave: Democrats Suppress Historically Inclusive Slate of GOP Candidates

Bigotry to blame? (Yes.) […] Alas, more than a dozen Republican minorities were swept away Tuesday by what some are calling the Democratic Party’s “white wave.” In what can only be viewed as a deliberate act of bigotry, Democrats nominated white candidates to run against GOP candidates of color and proceeded to defeat those candidates, thereby excluding them from the halls of power.

Smith: Three Primary Factors Stopped That Red Wave

After watching the debacle on Tuesday night, I did my own post-mortem of what happened. I lay the blame on three major factors: The Republican elites, the American public, and early voting. The Republican Elites By far the most important factor is the Republican elites. In 2020, the GOPe was almost as glad as the Dems to be rid of Donald Trump, so they ignored and denied the massive vote fraud that swept Joe Biden into office. […]  Trump’s biggest accomplishment was exposing the Uniparty in D.C. Unfortunately, he was unable to break it up. There are limits to what one man can do when he must fight his “allies” almost as hard as his opponents. […]  The American Public The American public, having been fed a steady diet of leftism and dumbed-down curricula from nursery school through graduate school, no longer understands civics or economics, and sees our form of government as somehow inferior to European socialism.  European socialism is only made possible by the U.S. Defense umbrella in the form of NATO, but few understand that distinction. As a result, Americans don’t see the threat to our freedoms […] Early Voting Early voting is the sleeper contributor to last night’s losses.  It gives both parties an advance detailed picture of how many people voted, who voted, who is likely to vote but hasn’t yet, and what party voters support or belong to. With all the massive databases out there and modern computers, they have a pretty good idea of how many votes they need to produce to win an election and where to go to get them, days before election day.

(FRAUD?) Kliegman: Red wave after all? GOP winning popular vote by wide margin despite incongruous results

Specifically, GOP candidates have so far received 50,672,592 votes, or 52.3% of the total ballots cast as of this writing. Democrat candidates, by comparison, have so far received 44,802,597 votes, or 46.2% of the total. These figures come from Cook’s 2022 National House Vote Tracker, which is being updated as states continue counting ballots. This support for the GOP appears to fit with what pre-election polling data had suggested heading into Election Day. Several Republican candidates nationwide, including those running for the Senate and governors’ mansions, had been rising in the polls in the last couple months, indicating positive momentum for Republicans. […]  It’s unclear at this point what explains the glaring incongruity between the GOP’s underwhelming performance in terms of winning seats on one hand and its significant lead in the popular vote on the other. “The craziest thing: Republicans are winning the House popular vote by 6.4% so far but just scraping by in the race for control,” tweeted Dave Wasserman of the Cook Political Report. […]  In past midterm elections that saw landslide victories, the party that won the most seats also won the popular vote by a significant margin.

Wolf: How Electronic Voting Machines Cheat and What to Do About This

We think of the secret ballot as being fundamental to our rights, and indeed to our democratic system, and in many ways that belief is correct. Or it certainly would be correct, if those secret ballots were cast in a verifiable, accurately- tabulating voting system. But the secret ballot became a sacred aspect of elections, in the days when ballots were cast in boxes, using paper. There was little risk run by those who cherished the secrecy of their choices in such a system, because the ballots could always be recounted. They were physical artefacts. They either existed or they did not. People could steal elections in this “analog” technology of paper and locked ballot boxes, of course, by destroying or hiding votes, or by bribing voters, a la Tammany Hall, or by other forms of wrongdoing, so security and chain of custody, as well as anti-corruption scrutiny, were always needed in guaranteeing accurate election counts. But there was no reason, with analog physical processing of votes, to query the tradition of the secret ballot. Before the digital scanning of votes, you could not hack a wooden ballot box; and you could not set an algorithm to misread a pile of paper ballots. So, at the end of the day, one way or another, you were counting physical documents. Those days are gone, . . .[…] . . . in time, God willing, we will all go back to paper. With receipts. And yes, O elites, we’ll go back to doing our vote counting the way it has been done for most of our nation’s history: not with “experts” and “officials” alone counting the vote, not with corrupted media prematurely announcing the winner — but rather with citizens counting the verifiable votes — yes; Down to the Very. Last. One.

Duke: Circumstantial Evidence of Vote Fraud?

On Tuesday America voted, and there were some rather odd election anomalies — much as there had been in 2020. As for the latter, a bit of history: . . .[…]  This raises a question: Does this point to polling problems, or voting system problems? Consider Florida, which did experience a profound GOP wave (all figures are from RealClear Politics’ polling averages and election result data). Governor Ron DeSantis led his challenger, Charlie Crist, by 12.2 points on average in the polls but actually won by 19.5. So he under-polled by 7.3 points. Senator Marco Rubio led his challenger, Val Demings, by 8.8 points in the polls but won by a whopping 16.5, a 7.7 point improvement. (Republicans are also expected to increase their margin in Florida’s 120-member House to 85 seats, their largest majority in history.) Yet the picture was very different in most of the rest of the country. Consider the following Senate races (all numbers are as of early 11/9): Democrat Michael Bennet had a 5.7 point polling lead in Colorado but won by 12.4.  Democrat Maggie Hassan had a 1.4 polling lead in New Hampshire but won by 9.9. Democrat Patty Murray had a 3.0 polling lead in Washington but won by 14. Democrat John Fetterman had a 0.4 polling deficit in Pennsylvania but won by 2.3. […]  Regarding the still undecided Senate races: Republican Blake Masters had a 0.3 polling lead in Arizona but is behind by 6.

Schachtel: Balkanized Future: Midterms Deliver Victories For Both Free State Americans and Security State Americans

The tyrants of Covid Mania won the day, but so did the freedom fighters. […] So what the heck happened last night, and where does the country go from here? I have three major observations that I hope will make some macro sense of the midterm elections: 1. Many Americans no longer value freedom This is going to be a hard pill to swallow for all of the flag waving “Top Gun Americans” out there, but it’s a reality that is now too obvious to ignore. Benjamin Franklin famously once said: “Those who would give up essential Liberty, to purchase a little temporary Safety, deserve neither Liberty nor Safety.” Many Americans, if not most Americans, no longer don’t value the foundational principle of liberty. […] 2. Balkanization is the future The election results also show that there are indeed tens of millions of Americans who still value liberty, and they are consolidating into freedom blocs throughout the country. […] GOP is a soulless vessel for nothingness  Consider the possibility that Americans rightly blame both sides of the DC uniparty for our country’s current problems. Both parties’ institutional forces overwhelmingly supported the biomedical security state imposed upon us for 3 years. Both parties continue to prioritize overseas war adventures over the prosperity of Americans. Both parties debased the currency, contributed to soaring inflation, and greatly impoverished their own citizens. Both parties have contributed to the massive growth of government on all levels.  Sure, it’s easy to scapegoat Donald Trump for all of the bad showings. But who is actually excited to elevate Mitch McConnell and Kevin McCarthy into positions of power? What exactly is the GOP agenda, other than to slow down the Biden Administration agenda? […]  What’s next?

McEvoy: This Poll Predicted Republicans Would Win Among Independents. Here’s What Actually Happened

Republicans were slightly more popular among independent voters. However, on election day, a majority of independent voters cast their ballots for Democrats, according to The Wall Street Journal’s final election poll. Republican candidates held a 4-point lead among independent voters due to independents’ widespread dissatisfaction with the state of the economy and President Joe Biden’s policies, according to a WSJ poll conducted in late October. After ballots were cast, Democratic candidates won independent voters by three percentage points nationally which caused battleground races in Pennsylvania, Arizona and Georgia to swing in the Democrats’ favor, . . .

Harsanyi: Contra Conventional Wisdom, There Is Little Evidence Dobbs Hurt Republicans

Listen, if anyone had told conservatives 30 or 20 or even a year ago that the political price for overturning Roe v. Wade would mean taking back only one chamber of Congress in the subsequent midterm, they would never have believed you. So, even if the left’s tenuous claim that Dobbs saved them in 2022 is to be believed, the price for ridding the nation of the legal and moral abomination of Roe would be well worth it. But it is a tenuous contention.

Davidson: The Big Midterm Lesson: Defensive ‘Victories’ On The Right Aren’t Going To Save The Country

Republicans won big in places where GOP leaders leaned into the culture war and passed abortion restrictions. That’s no accident. If there’s a clear lesson to come out of Tuesday night’s bizarre midterm election, it’s that Republicans can no longer be content with defensive victories or defensive politics. To win political power and do what must be done to save the country, Republicans will have to go on offense, present a compelling vision for the future, and engage culture war issues like abortion and critical race theory without apologies. When they do that, they win. But it stands in stark contrast to the perennial advice of Beltway GOP consultants, who think it best to avoid major culture war issues like abortion. Indeed, the “official narrative” of corporate media in the wake of Tuesday’s midterms is that abortion was a big winner for Democrats, who supposedly capitalized on the U.S. Supreme Court’s Dobbs decision overturning Roe v. Wade, successfully making abortion a major electoral issue and blunting a red wave by boosting turnout among young, pro-abortion voters.

It sounds good, but it’s not quite right.

Greenfield: Bring Back ‘Election Day’, Save America

How about we just bring back Election Day? We don’t have Election Day anymore. We have Election Week and Election Month. Over 42 million early votes were cast this election. That’s not as bad as the catastrophic 2020 election of over 100 million votes where the deciding electorate seemed to be ballot harvesters, but it takes us back to 2018. And that was bad enough because it’s becoming the new normal. In 2014, there were 21 million early votes. We’re at double that. […]  What happens when you have Election Month? The dead vote and the dead get elected. Rep. Tony DeLuca died in October at the age of 85. The longest serving representative was reelected anyway.[…]  It’s no surprise that Democrat votes are far more likely to come in ‘early’ and ‘late’. Elections work when everyone votes by the same rules. But we now vote in two different systems. And those systems are on a collision course. When one group of people vote by standing in line on Election Day, as was always the case, and another vote with the help of a ballot harvester who has a quota to fill, they’re not voting in the same system. And they’re not going to respect each other’s results. Why should they?

(H/T GC) Sundance: Big Picture, 2022 Midterm Elections Highlight the Distinct Difference Between Ballots and Votes

As the political discussion centers on the 2022 wins and losses from the midterm election, one thing that stands out in similarity to the 2020 general election is the difference between ballots and votes.  It appears in some states this is the ‘new normal.’ Where votes were the focus, the Biden administration suffered losses.  Where ballots were the focus, the Biden administration won. Perhaps the two states most reflective of ‘ballots’ being more important than ‘votes’ are Michigan and Pennsylvania.  Despite negative polling and public opinion toward two specific candidates in those states, Michigan Governor Gretchen Whitmer and Pennsylvania Senate candidate John Fetterman achieved victories. […]  Republicans are running around trying to convince people and win votes.  Meanwhile, who needs voters? Democrats have skipped all of that old fashioned stuff, and they have modified all of their electioneering systems to quietly and efficiently collecting ballots. Haven’t you noticed? It really is that simple.

John Hayward Threadreader

It’s one of the strangest elections on the books, as witness the shock among so many on the Democrat side that they did so well. They somehow managed to defy political gravity, despite the worst “wrong track” numbers in memory. Probably no single explanation, but a few factors… […] To get the most obvious out of the way, a lot of people are yelling “fraud.” Some hinky stuff happened, and apparently we’ll have to put up with that forever, because the electorate does not insist on clean, efficient elections even after states like Florida prove it’s possible.  Fraud doesn’t explain nationwide results, though. Better to consider that Dems took advantage of the pandemic to loosen voter rules to an absolutely insane degree, and they are absolute masters at harvesting what we might politely refer to as the “indifferent” voter. […]  Want to know how Dems won PA with a guy who has serious brain damage? Same way they put a senile disaster in the White House and then weathered the midterms. Party power, institutional control, ideological unity, a machine that spits out votes even if the candidate is a turnip.

VDH: Tuesday Takeaways

What, if anything, did the midterms tell us about the country—other than underwhelming Republicans could still take the House and Senate? During the COVID lockdowns, American elections radically changed to mail-in and early voting. They did so in a wild variety of state-by-state ways. Add ranked voting and a required majority margin to the mess and the result is that once cherished Election Day balloting becomes increasingly irrelevant. Election Night also no longer exists. Returns are not counted for days. It is intolerable for a modern democracy to wait and wait for all sorts of different ballots both cast and counted under radically different and sometimes dubious conditions. The Democrats—with overwhelming media and money advantages—have mastered these arts of massive and unprecedented early, mail-in, and absentee voting. Old-fashioned Republicans count on riling up their voters to show up on Election Day. But it is far easier to finesse and control the mail-in ballots than to “get out the vote.”

Downey, Jr.: What Happened on Election Night? I Think I Have Some Answers

Here is what I think went wrong — and right — in our elections. Principles For starters, conservatives have principles, and the lefties do not. Die-hard libskanks are dedicated to their party communism. They will happily vote for anyone, even a pedophile — or, as they call them, Minor Attracted Persons (MAP) — as long as they have a “D” before their name. Conservatives are not the same. I know a few never-Trumpers who pinched their noses and voted for Trump, but I know many who stayed home on election night, twice. True Democrats wouldn’t consider not voting for their candidate, even if he looks like the guy from Sling Blade and can’t put a sentence together. Dr. Oz . . .[…]  Conservatives love their children Today, Facebook is full of working-class libs celebrating Tuesday’s elections, even though their kids could get raped due to cashless bail laws or an accidental overdose on a Percocet they bought off the street, having no idea it was laced with Chinese fentanyl. Another “problem” we conservatives face is that we, unlike the communists, are not . . . Fake news  The commie brainwashing game is strong. Whereas conservatives want the truth, liberals want to hear what they want to hear and believe what they are told to believe. The true leftists have been . . . […] Making it rain . . .[…]  Potential cheating . . .[…]  Abortion Conservatives hate abortion, and libs love it. Pink-haired, non-binary freakshow chicks have abortions simply because they think they are hurting us. They flout it. Again, acceptable collateral damage in the name of sticking it to the right. Libs hate you for your . . . What have we learned?

Fox News: TUCKER CARLSON: Why did Republicans underperform in the midterms?

What exactly happened in yesterday’s midterm elections? Well, we wish you could tell you with some precision. That’s our job, but we can’t, because in a number of key races around the country, we still don’t have a vote total. In Arizona, for example, there is no declared winner in the Senate race or in the governor’s race. At this point, it seems likely that both Kari Lake and Blake Masters will win. We’ll be speaking to Kari Lake in just a minute about that, but according to news reports, the official results may not be in for more than a month. A month!  Officials in Arizona told CNBC today that they are “prepared to work through Thanksgiving and possibly Christmas as well.” That means results by New Year’s in a race that was held in early November. That seems late. How late is it? Well, by comparison, the results of the 1862 midterm elections, which were tabulated by candlelight without machines or even electricity in the middle of a raging civil war, were clear before the end of the week. That was the entire country. Arizona is a single state, which, by the way, is a fraction of the size of Florida, which, as you may have noticed, counted its votes in less than a day—so did Brazil, an entire country. That seems embarrassing, if not like a full-blown emergency. […]  The Republican Party in the end, may take control of the House and the Senate, but only by a tiny margin at best. That’s great, but it was not the plan. The plan was really simple. It seemed easy a week ago, an unpopular president, a faltering economy, an open border, the looming risk of nuclear war (How about that?) put all those together, how could there not be a massive Republican win nationally? Wins everywhere?  Well, there weren’t—some exceptions—but overall, there weren’t.

Drey: Exit Poll Shows Nearly 70% Of Single Women Voted Democrat In Midterms

Compared to married individuals favoring GOP candidates this year, a CNN exit poll of 18,571 total respondents found 68% of single women marked their ballots for Democratic politicians — a 37-point margin over the Republican Party. “One of the fascinating things about our ongoing political realignment is the massive political incentive Democrats have to keep women unmarried,” tweeted political commentator Mollie Hemmingway.

Pollak: Republicans Have Won 6 Million More Votes than Democrats in House Races, But Gained Relatively Few Seats

According to the Cook Political Report, as of Thursday morning, November 10, Republicans have won 50,113,534 votes, or 52.3% of the vote, compared to 44,251,768, or 46.2% of the vote. Republicans lead by 6.1%, which is better than their average in “generic congressional ballot” polls, in which the party led by 2.5% in the final RealClearPolitics average before the election. But Republicans have only managed to flip nine seats thus far — likely enough to control the House, but far short of a “wave” result many anticipated. The mismatch between overall votes cast for Republicans and the actual result reflects the polarized nature of congressional maps. It also reflects the fact that Republican losses against many Democratic incumbents were very narrow. However, it could also suggest that Democrats ran a more effective campaign, concentrating resources where they were needed to defend their vulnerable positions.

BIDEN’S COVID VACCINE MANDATES

(AUSTRALIA) Weisser: Wot’s in the shots?

So is there graphene oxide in the Pfizer shots? What Nixon found, and filmed, is bizarre to say the least. Inside a droplet of vaccine are strange mechanical structures. They seem motionless at first but when Nixon used time-lapse photography to condense 48 hours of footage into two minutes, it showed what appear to be mechanical arms assembling and disassembling glowing rectangular structures that look like circuitry and micro chips. These are not ‘manufactured products’ in the CDC’s words because they construct and deconstruct themselves but the formation of the crystals seems to be stimulated by electromagnetic radiation and stops when the slide with the vaccine is shielded by a Faraday bag. Nixon’s findings are similar to those of teams in New Zealand, Germany, Spain and South Korea. An Italian group led by Riccardo Benzi Cipelli analysed the blood of over 1,000 people, one month after they were vaccinated, who had been referred for tests because they had experienced side effects. They ranged in age from 15 to 85 and had had between one and three doses. More than 94 per cent had abnormal readings, deformed red blood cells, reduced in counts and clumped around luminescent foreign objects which also attracted clusters of fibrin. Some of the foreign objects dotted the blood like a starry night, some self-assembled into crystalline structures and others into spindly branches and tubes. The Italians think the objects are . . .

Berenson: Brain inflammation and the mRNA vaccines

Three large insurance databases showed sharp increases in cases of severe brain inflammation after the Covid mRNA shots, according to a new peer-reviewed paper. People who received the Pfizer jab or booster had a 40 to 70 percent higher chance over the next six weeks of encephalitis or encephalomyelitis. The Moderna jab carried an even higher risk after the second primary dose or a booster. Encephalitis is inflammation of the brain itself, while encephalomyelitis is inflammation of nerve sheaths in the brain or spinal cord. Both can range from relatively mild conditions to serious or even fatal illnesses.

(Biden’s war) Wilkerson: Why Are We Not Being Told the Truth About Ukraine?

While I wish it were otherwise, the unpleasant fact is that Ukraine cannot win the war against Russia. The Biden Administration and the leaders of the U.K. and European Union know this full well. The question is, how much longer will they persist in deceiving the public and wasting the resources of their nations on an unwinnable proxy war? There is precedent for this behavior. As historian Barbara Tuchman writes in The March of Folly:. . . . […] We are watching history repeat itself.

THE DEMOCRAT LED WAR ON CHILDREN: MUTILATION, CHILD SACRIFICE, SEXUALIZATION

Schlichter: Outlaw Mutilation

How twisted must you be to justify cutting apart kids? We look back on the primitive people of the past and sneer at their bizarre and monstrous atrocities – and rightly so. Even the civilized Romans recorded horrible acts by their elite – Emperor Elagabalus allegedly wanted to castrate himself and do some more cutting in order to become a Romanette, while Nero sliced the bologna off his boyfriend, a kid who was unlucky enough to resemble Nero’s dead wife. But here’s the thing – the Romans themselves wrote about this stuff recognizing that it was an atrocity. The Romans at least had a bit of moral clarity. But our savage elite celebrates the surgical disfigurement of disordered people, including kids. Our senile president sits with a male pretending to be a girl and cheers it on. Mutilation is a disgrace and it must stop. Yeah, the word is “mutilation.” Chopping off penises and testicles, cutting off healthy breasts, trying to sculpt obscene parodies of male and female sex organs – these are mutilations. The Aztecs, no slouch in the atrocity department, would look at this in disgust.

DEMOCRAT PARTY MARXIST PLAYBOOK: IDENTITY POLITICS

Morabito: Identity Politics Stems From Young People’s Quest To Answer The Question, ‘Who Am I?’

Youth have to deal with multiple competing narratives, some that are inconsistent even within themselves, fed to them by the education establishment and by propagandists. Boy, girl, young man, young woman; gay, straight, trans, gender fluid (or “genderqueer” or “genderf–k” and hundreds more on the so-called gender spectrum); black, white, “white adjacent”; Christian, Muslim, Jewish, atheist, “none”; rich, poor; victim, privileged, oppressor. Youth must navigate all of this and too much more. They have been politicized and intersectionalized practically unto death. Young people have always had to work out a sense of identity. If their minds are not molested with identity politics, it’s a natural development known in the field of psychology as “individuation.” That’s the process by which a person develops his sense of unique self and integrates it with the wider world. But politicized schools, the call of social media, and popular culture disrupt that process by driving hard the propaganda of identity politics and enforcing it through political correctness. It adds up to a mass identity crisis.

Kaufman: Islamist Infiltration of the Broward County Sheriff’s Office

In 2014, then-Broward County Sheriff Scott Israel set a terrible precedent, when he hired Nezar Hamze, a representative from CAIR, a group with numerous links to terrorism, as a Deputy at the Broward Sheriff’s Office (BSO). Hamze ‘opened doors’ for Sheriff Israel, by introducing the Sheriff at radical mosques. Five years later, Israel was removed from his position and replaced with Gregory Tony. Yet, not only has Tony kept Hamze on the force, but he has gone much further in his embrace of Islamists, even having them participate in his 9/11 memorial. Why is Sheriff Tony legitimizing these sinister entities and exposing the BSO to such security threats? The BSO has found a dangerous partner in the Islamic Center of South Florida (ICOSF), a radical mosque located in Pompano Beach. This past April, Sheriff Tony and a number of BSO officers showed up to ICOSF for a Ramadan ‘Break the Fast.’ In June, it looked as if the entire BSO showed up to the mosque’s 2022 Summer Camp. In October, the ICOSF Sisterhood sponsored a BSO event at the mosque, where the female BSO representatives donned hijabs.

Konard: What on Earth Happened with Brazil’s Election?

Before you read this sad story, hail back to an earlier era, before transnational social media lords suppressed the truth and helped doctor elections.  It seems that the techno-leftists might have done their dirty work…again. The media are back to spinning an election theft. One report (at the 13-second mark) says, “They [the Brazilian protesters] took to the streets of São Paulo in their thousands.” But Breibart seemed closer to the truth: . . . […]  Why are Brazilian media downplaying events like this? […]  It seems one man had been given power to censor the internet in Brazil.

TAKE ACTION

The Prickly Pear’s TAKE ACTION focus this year is to help achieve a winning 2024 national and state November 5th election with the removal of the Biden/Obama leftist executive branch disaster, win one U.S. Senate seat, maintain and win strong majorities in all Arizona state offices on the ballot and to insure that unrestricted abortion is not constitutionally embedded in our laws and culture.
