Are you getting pumped for the November 3 midterm elections? I know I am. Let’s be sure we share that enthusiasm and, of course, vote. Last Monday, I began my semi-annual countdown until election day. I made, and continue to make, the argument that our fortunes are badly underestimated and that the “blue tsunami” is a perfect example of the wish being father to the thought. I’m going to focus on two promising Senate races today and tomorrow. First, Michigan, where Republican Mike Rogers is squaring off against Democrat Abdul El-Sayed. Second, in Minnesota where Michele Tafoya is taking on…

China is studying Russia’s bloody war in Ukraine, but experts warn the lessons learned could make Beijing think twice about invading Taiwan. The Chinese military is drawing lessons from Russian battlefield tactics and Ukraine’s successful attacks against Russian warships, airfields and military installations, according to a new Center for Strategic and International Studies (CSIS) report. The findings raise questions about whether Beijing could use the conflict to improve its chances in a future war over Taiwan, potentially challenging American military superiority in the Indo-Pacific, according to the CSIS analysis published Wednesday. “Russian experience in its war against Ukraine is of…

ABC’s The View found yet another way for their fans to be worried about the country’s reputation on Monday, in which the public execution of a mass murderer would make the United States look like a merciless country. In discussion of the possible public execution of convicted Fort Hood shooter Nidal Hasan, the co-hosts invoked dictatorship regimes, terrorist propaganda, and the United States’ history of racial violence to argue against the execution. Co-host Whoopi Goldberg kicked off the discussion with how private executions “was the last bastion of humanity,” and what the implementation of this practice on Hasan would say…

The political left is going bananas, the socialists are having fits, the Islamists are in a rage and the communists are apoplectic about the news that federal law enforcement has executed a search warrant at the home of Representative Ilhan Omar. However, there are no specific details about the nature of the federal action. The warrant could be about immigration issues (fraud) related to Ilhan Omar’s rather sketchy background of marrying her brother, or the warrant could be connected to a longer investigation started during the Biden administration about Omar’s finances, fake wine company and campaign funding mechanisms {Go Deep}.…
One key rule in politics is: If you’re explaining, you’re losing. If you’re denying, you’re really losing. And if NBC News questions you about your ties to an international terror network on national television, the denial doesn’t actually help – even if it’s sincere. Advertisement And in the case of Abdul El-Sayed, this denial is utter nonsense. Kristen Welker posed the question on yesterday’s Meet the Press, highlighting just how much of an issue El-Sayed’s ties to the Muslim Brotherhood have become in Michigan’s Senate race. El-Sayed’s terse denial to Welker’s repeated and direct queries doesn’t exactly settle the matter,…
