There is a disconnect between what the MSM have been saying about the midterm election and the background Democrat party activity in the final days before the midterm election.
While most media watercarriers for Democrats have been claiming the races will be tight, close and control over both the Senate and House are narrow margins, the Democrat party apparatus is sending emergency funds to support deep blue candidates in races where they previously claimed their victory margins were too big to fail.
If the deep blue seats are vulnerable, their seats in districts of marginal support must be considerably more vulnerable.
(Politico) House Democrats’ top super PAC is making a last-minute buy to aid Rep. Joe Morelle, a New York Democrat in a deep-blue seat — the latest sign that the battle for the House is lurching toward the GOP.
Morelle, who was elected in 2018 to replace the late Democratic Rep. Louise Slaughter, holds a Rochester-area district that backed President Joe Biden by 20 points in 2020. His Republican opponent, La’Ron Singletary, is a former Rochester police chief who has staked his campaign on rising crime rates in New York. House Majority PAC will go on air this week for Morelle with a $275,000 buy, according to data from the media tracking firm AdImpact.
The incumbent has spent close to $800,000 on TV, while Singletary has spent just $160,000, according to AdImpact. But there has been growing concern from Democratic operatives in recent weeks that blue states, such as Oregon and New York, are racing away from them.
[…] It’s possible the late spending is only out of an abundance of caution — but it’s not a good sign for Democrats with just a week to go until the midterms. At least two other seats Biden carried by 20 points have become problem spots for Democrats. Rep. Julia Brownley (D-Calif.) has begun warning colleagues that her Southern California district could be in trouble.
And Pennsylvania Democrat Summer Lee went on TV with an ad last week, warning voters not to be confused by the fact that her Republican opponent has the same name as retiring Democratic Rep. Mike Doyle. (read more)
The upcoming midterm election next week poses a seriously interesting dynamic, when contrast against the claimed ballot outcomes of 2020.
In a general sense, the far-left (totalitarian big government socialists and democrat communists) has always appeared to hold approximately 15% support from the general electorate. This baseline puts roughly 85% of the U.S. population suffering through the consequences of an ideological minority in control of policy.
Additionally, there is a direct correlation between the genuine size of the group in power and the extreme use of control over the rest of the population.
The smaller the group in power, the more severe their ideological policy. As a direct result that group needs to trigger the most severe control mechanisms within their authority – like using federal police, nationalized military, national security state systems, FBI activation, domestic surveillance, legal threats, social intimidation, etc.
The need for control, is a reaction to fear. You can always gauge the scale of general public support for those in power by the way those in power behave in real life. While this baseline is generally uncomfortable for the minority group to accept, this reality is a historic and empirical truth. Less public support for government = the need for more government control systems.
The 2020 election was an inflection point for the small ideological group currently in power within the United States Government.
The dynamic of “fear” is the most often deployed weapon whenever this historic dynamic surfaces. However, when the larger population of people stop responding to fear tactics and begin to mock those who are threatening to harm them, things generally change quickly.
The length of time it takes a population to stop being fearful is the exact amount of time those in power have as ruling elite. Once fear is removed from the equation, the ruling elite dissolve very quickly and try to fit into the crowd.
We are supposed to believe that 85 million people voted for Joe Biden in 2020. This did not happen. There is a big difference between 85 million people voting, and 85 million ballots being collected.
The process of collecting ballots by scheme, fraud and manipulative deception, sets the stage for the larger question of how such a harvesting ruse can be maintained over the shorter arc of election cycles. What institutional systems would be needed to maintain a lie on the scale of 85 million ballots?
Regardless of how you answer that question, it is worth asking the follow-up: what happens when you remove fear from that institutional dynamic?
A journey of a thousand miles begins with just one step….
A deception of a thousand scales can crumble with just one vote…

Biden and Harris are campaigning heavily in Illinois this week. The Democrats must be toast for them to show up in Illinois.
As long as there is electronic voting in Illi-Noise…. the DIM-Ocratic party will control our state
Ahh, the sniff and cackle duo. Pity Illinois.
The hollering screed from the deranged and demented resident has spurred Americans to vote against the corrupt Democrat communists. Watch the result.
Plato opined c. 2500 years ago that the amount of legislation needed by a society depended upon the number of men (we would today say “people” or “men and women”) who were able to ratiocinate.
If you have a society with a majority able to think logically (and therefore behave morally), its need for legislation is minimal.
If you have a society unable to think logically (and therefore unable to behave morally), that meant a society more in need of “legislation” or “control.”
This syllogism explains why DEMS have supported incompetent schools for my entire lifespan of 7 + decades.
e.g. The Blackboard Jungle was seen as an expose’ of high-school life in the late ’40’s and early 1950’s, around the time when Communist infiltration was rooting in government and elsewhere throughout America.
The 1960’s with its assorted experiments in how to teach reading, in grading, in classroom discipline, etc. were essential in continuing the general incompetence.
50 years ago, I taught in a small semi-rural public high school in Ohio near the Indiana border. I had high-school juniors who literally could not read or write above a Third-Grade level. There were 19 and 20-year old seniors causing trouble, who were given the choice of Vietnam or jail by local judges.
The corrupt administration routinely changed grades, lied about policy at board meetings, altered attendance records,* etc. etc. etc.
* I had a Sophomore girl in one class, whose name I still remember quite well, and I remember it, because she showed up once or twice a month for class! I suspect she was raising younger brothers and sisters: despite massive truancy, she was passed along to the next year.
And so it has continued ever since: in the same way that movie projectors and then televisions and then video recorders and then computers and then Internet access in every classroom for every student was deemed the cure for the CRISIS IN THE SCHOOLS, today we are told that we need to end Racism, Sexism, Genderism, Judgmentism,** Anti-Vaccinationism, etc. etc. etc. while promoting Victimism and Overweening Pride in Non-Accomplishment, and THEN everything will be just fine.
The goal: PREVENT PEOPLE FROM THINKING RATIONALLY by leading them down paths of Selfishness, Constant Mindless Entertainment, Constant Overconfidence in One’s Self, Atheism, and General Stupidity.
** Judgmentism – The inability to judge quality or worth because to make such a judgment causes one to be accused of bigotry and intolerance.
Thus we have tripe e.g. Where the Crawdads Sing lionized as “genius,” while Shakespeare and Melville and Flannery O’Connor and many, many others are chased away from our schools. In Art we have spray-paint can “graffiti artists” with no obvious talent of any kind e.g. Jean-Michel Basquiat, lionized as geniuses, because they are inevitably homosexual drug addicts “of color” and any criticism of their output makes you vulnerable to attack as a narrow-minded, intolerant racist.
And don’t get me started on Music, where spitting obscenities into a microphone while toy monkeys hit cymbals together makes one a genius!
Rationally thinking people would not accept or support such things in their society: such things would wither on the vine for lack of support.
Unfortunately, such is not the case! We know, of course, that American society’s cultural taste has been questioned for over a century (rf. H. L. Mencken and Albert Jay Nock). Nevertheless, even those earlier critics would be shocked by what is promoted today as “genius.”
How correctly you summarize this quagmire!
In 8+ decades it’s gone from doing cursive before one started first grade, with no sandbox years to prep us, to having a generation that can’t write or read cursive.
That has to include proofing printed interpretations of the Constitution & the Declaration of Independence. This would explain the absence of knowledge being the first step to absence of Freedom.
A rant for the ages. Bravo!
Netanyahu winning right before these midterms feels like Brexit right before Trump. The winds are blowing in the right direction.
What great timing this attack on Paul Pelosi had! It sort of neutralizes Nancy. They can’t weaponize it too hard or it will motivate our side to dig deeper and blow the story wide open.
May they all fall flat on their blue faces.
Once fear is removed from the equation, the ruling elite dissolve very quickly and try to fit into the crowd.
Like….”Let’s Declare a Pandemic Amnesty”?
Remember this admission from Time magazine just a month after Joe Biden took office: “A well-funded cabal of powerful people, ranging across industries and ideologies, working together behind the scenes to influence perceptions, change rules and laws, steer media coverage and control the flow of information.” These are THEIR WORDS. A “cabal” influencing the election kind of sounds EXACTLY like what Democrats accuse Republicans of doing.
The media, the pollsters and the democrats all work in sinc. They say it’s close so they can cheat. They want people to believe that when “all the votes are counted” we have to accept the result! Biden said that it would /could take days to find out who one. Same model as the 2020 and in some cases the 2018 midterms. Find out how many votes they need to pullmout win, then fabricate the votes. Bidens speech, he outlined and chastized the rebulicans accusing them of doing everything that the dems are doing. I don’t have to repeat his BS. you people here know exactly what I’m talking about. Then he more or less threatens us? Ron Klain comes out this morning on the 3rd saying this is our final warning? Warning from what? These people are going to try something really desperate! I can almost taste it.
I’m glad the Illinois gubernatorial race is finally being considered as being competitive nationally. I have viewed Darren Bailey’s Republican bid for governor as being competitive since the beginning. Darren Bailey is a grassroots Republican gubernatorial candidate, which is very rare in Illinois.
I have lived in Illinois for my entire life, which is 40 years, and I have never seen a grassroots Republican or Democratic governor or candidate for governor. I don’t think there has ever even been a grassroots governor or candidate for governor in the entire history of Illinois.
Bailey rose to prominence by strongly challenging Governor Pritzker’s covid tyranny. Bailey successfully sued Pritzker in Clay County, IL court over the legality of his covid mandates, but unfortunately Pritzker and the media ignored this victory and claimed that it was just limited to Clay County, which was not correct. It applied to the entire state.
Bailey has campaigned across the entire state of Illinois and not just in the Chicago area, which unfortunately is unusual for statewide candidates in Illinois who tend to favor the Chicago area.
Tonight, Bailey is hosting a big campaign event in Maryville, IL in Southern Illinois near St. Louis. It’s unheard of for a statewide candidate in Illinois to campaign outside of the Chicago area this close to Election Day.
Tom DeVore is the grassroots Republican candidate for Illinois attorney general. It’s also unheard of for a grassroots candidate to run for attorney general in Illinois. For many years, this position was held by Lisa Madigan who is the daughter of former Illinois speaker of the house and de facto dictator, Mike Madigan.
Madigan had his daughter run for the attorney general position to ensure that he wouldn’t face any corruption charges from the state general attorney’s office.
DeVore represented Bailey in his lawsuit against Pritzker. DeVore also represented many businesses who fought Bailey’s covid lockdown, contact tracing for restaurant customers, and mask mandates. DeVore filed many class action lawsuits on behalf of students, parents, teachers, and school staff against Pritzker’s school mask mandate.
Bailey and DeVore are the first Southern Illinoisans to run for their offices in generations. These offices are typically held by Chicagoans. The only exception during my lifetime is former governor Jim Edgar, who was from East Central Illinois, but was culturally and politically aligned with the Chicago establishment.
Peggy Hubbard, who is also from Southern Illinois, was the grassroots Republican candidate for U.S. senator from Illinois, but was defeated by the establishment Chicago centric Kathy Salvi in the primary. Hubbard has stated that Mike Lindell’s team confirmed that she was the rightful winner of the primary but was beaten by Salvi only due to election fraud.
I plan on writing in Hubbard as I can’t vote for someone who only became the official Republican candidate due to election fraud. I’m also tired of the notion that only the official Republican or Democratic candidates are viable in any election.
Illinois is all too often viewed as a 400 mile long extension of liberal Chicago, but that isn’t correct. Illinois is a geographically conservative state that for the most part has a typical Midwestern culture outside of the Chicago area. In fact, deep Southern Illinois actually has a Southern culture.
According to the attached 2020 presidential election map from the New York Times, Illinois is actually more geographically red than Mississippi.
The blue areas in Illinois generally tend to be limited to the Chicago area, college towns, and majority black areas.
