When someone like me can predict this vanilla result months in advance, in the midst of one the most destructive government performances ever, it is clear that the people do not rule themselves.
We certainly did not say, “Thank you Sir, may I have another?”
Looks like we are about to be dragged into a foreign conflict with absolutely no support from the parts of the country whose kids would do most of the fighting. Our views are just not part of the equation any longer.
Colonel Douglas Macgregor, at his eponymous website, has been very accurate and sober in his analyses throughout the year.
Totally agree. I didn’t vote in OH. Why should I? We had an election blatantly stolen and they got away with it. And to top it all off, we have half the country voting Dem no matter what. How do idiots like Biden, Fetterman and Hobbs even get 1 vote? Because we have half the country who are stupid, ignorant and focused on party and not results. So we get what we deserve.
I’ll keep my trust in Jesus and Jesus alone, thank you very much.
I feel you man. In my southern-fried, redneck SC county, only 3 out of 5 voters voted against crime, inflation, and feelings.
I just don’t understand… but then again, I don’t watch lamestream TV, don’t hang out on Facebook, Twitter, TikTok, or the like, and don’t consume current content from Ho-llywood. I expect we underestimate the influence they wield.
I loved your album, Simply Gern, by the way. 🙂
What? You didn’t vote in Ohio? Democrats got a big shellacking in Ohio last night, so you missed out. My rep is Max Miller, who won.
Not happy at all the JD Vance didn’t thank President Trump in his victory speech.
Had to turn off Fox last night. Their commentary sucked. Their polling of issues that ran along with coverage was beyond the pale. We trust the FBI, we trust the DOJ, global warming & abortion are top issues, blah, blah, blah.
Faux News is where you go when you want to know what the GOPe wants you to think as a conservative voter… nothing more. If you must, use it for a weathervane but I’d leave it at that.
In the short time my wife and I were at the polls in Burlington, MA we saw three out of state plates. Rhode Island, Connecticut and New York. With a town of about 25000 residents what are the odds that we were there when three new residents voted before they could get Mass plates???? Hmmm. I was able to get a picture of the Rhode Island plate on the Maserati in front of me.
Look up Zippy The Pinhead.
The best part of the fake script is both Desantis and Noem winning by by 50% to set up the predictable narrative that these are the only two “winners” in the GOP
Foxnews about to pump Desantis/Noem 2024 HARD
The Deep State has been preparing this scenario since November 1963. Do you think they’ll give it up now?
Our Florida results were incredible. Thank you Dear Lord for such a strong result. Governor DeSantis is a force. Like him or not, but here in Florida he has done incredible things. His dominance was stunning. Won all but 5 counties. Even drug along Rubio on his coat tails (yes little Marco would have won anyway but his margin was bigger thanks to RDS).
Be honest. Who once again fell for the hoax that blacks and Hispanics were going to vote Republican?
I never believe the BS that blacks will ever vote conservative.
I admit I was sucked in on Hispanics. I haven’t seen any numbers. What were they?
There is no way there was a big Hispanic shift based on the numbers we are seeing this morning.
I thought that Hispanics would maintain their Catholicism and vote for morals but only the Cubans are anti-communists, and that’s still a toss up.
They are fake Catholic. Always have been.
Anybody believing the myth that they live Catholic values needs to pour another tall one.
As a God fearing conservative, I’m flummoxed by these election results. I’m fearful that our society is moving into very dark times. My children and grandchildren should prepare for the worst. As socialistic Dems attempts to break us with inflation, job loss, food shortage, infanticide, sexualizing our children with gender nonsense, crime, drugs, flooding us with illegals, and more. This great representative Republic is in serious danger. I’ll be interested to hear how the CTH helps us to strategize through these difficult times ahead. CTH has exposed how our leadership in McConnell, McCarthy, & McDaniel are weak and compromised. How do we the people insist on change? 2 Chronicles 7:14 comes to mind. It’s our last hope really.
McConnell,McCarthy and McDaniel inspire no one, yet they will possibly now try to blame Trump for their own limp inadequacies ? Watch for the Rove crew to be out in force trying to continue to undermine MAGA ?
Anyone from Central New York? NY22 race drew national attention in part because of how much money McCarthy spent in the primary trying to defeat Brandon Williams, a pro-Trump/MAGA candidate.
Williams beat the Democrat last night. Another America First patriot heads to DC.
WNY here-Congrats to you all! Here in Erie co we America First patriots are surrounded by bimbos, plus no ID to vote, plus old DS-200 machines still using Windows 7…..feels hopeless sometimes….
Thank God for my faith and my family.
you are a sliver of sunlight this morning. Thanks for the updates.
100% replay of 2018 mid-term script, complete with the BIG RED Hype, election irregularities, the BIG BLUE COME BACK at the polls and all the drama of an anime cartoon.
Does anyone feel like they are victims of a 12 month gas lighting operation by Big Red Wave/Big Conservative Inc?
We are the victims of demographics. When only Whites vote GOP and Whites as demographic are shrinking to near 50% of the population, the GOP is done.
There is a lot of calculations going on now on the races “too close to call.” The Dems are in the process of adding what is needed to blunt the GOP takeover, if not complete denial of taking either of the chambers of Congress. Hobbs had this in the bag for her and Kelly. For the same reason, Walker cannot win in GA. The Senate needs to remain Democrat so they can keep appointing prog judges. Bet McConnell is behind all this. He cannot allow Trump’s influence to lead to more seats, rather lose by allowing the Dems to cheat.
With the same Dominion system, the same vote for weeks policies, the same Secretaries of States, the same poll watchers and the same vote counters, who really believed there would be a “red wave”? OK, so they made it look close so that the dopes who believe the invented polls wouldn’t be too suspicious.
Before the election I said to family that I was “hopeful but not optimistic, and they said I was “always so negative”. What I am is realistic.
Actually, again I am very sorry I even voted. I feel like a chump because I really think the results are determined by agreements between the parties weeks or months before elections. E.g, “we’ll let you keep the governorship if you let us have the Senator seat”.
Nothing will convince me otherwise.
May not be far from the truth, it broke on War Room last night that Abrams conceded to Kemp last Friday.
Trump should retire for his own good. He needed conservatives to take firm control of both houses to make a third run at the Presidency viable. He is still a healthy man. These days you need to be brain damaged like Biden and Fetterman to win a major election.
The fault is with State Legislatures who run the elections, especially those with Republican governors. The RNC needs to spend money at the state level. That is the only place that counts.
Grant Stichfield had an interesting Pennsylvania take on the War Room. He knocked on a lot of doors while working for the Romney campaign in Penn. He met a lot of folks and came down to the conclusion they are just “NUTS”. Yes, there was a lot of fraud, but dem voters in Penn. are just nuts. Per Doc Savage “liberalism is a mental disease”.
As a refugee of the former great state of PA I totally agree.
Yup. Totally incapable of critical thinking. The line I always hear is “my parents always voted straight Democrat, so I only vote straight Democrat.” If you try to give them examples how the Democrat party has changed, they either walk away or tell you tell you they don’t want to hear it. I’ve even had people put their hands up to their ears like a child.
I don’t even bother trying anymore.
Those were called “yellow dog democrats” in Texas; thank goodness there are fewer of them these days, but they still exist; spending any time trying to convert them is a waste of your time, they are steeped in family ignorance, thanks, mostly, to Mr. Roosevelt.
You know that scene in “The Matrix when Morpheus explains and shows Neo just what the matrix is and Neo doesn’t want to acknowledge that reality let alone accept it and then manifests that denial by vomiting all over the floor? Same same.
It’s a cult. This is their religion. Even if they don’t practice it regularly, they can’t let it go.
it’s a shame really. I do critically think, and it behooves me, how people that I actually know, very intelligent, mindful, kind, god-fearing, can even have a discussion on fester or walter to their benefit with me and give me logical reasons, why they think these two are competent. Money and power is all it is. I think sometimes I am living in an alternate universe. I set my heart and mind on Jesus and my days are flying by in a state of somewhat happiness. I won’t fear anymore.
NUTS absolutely

PA should be sold to Canada where they would fit in just fine and use the proceeds to pay down the national debt!!
Indeed.
DeSantis only lost five counties
The surprising part of this is Crist still got over 3 million votes.
3 million people thought he was the better candidate?
Lot of NYs moved to FL – and NY just voted for Hochul (sp) over Zeldin – so there’s that to think about.
And yet when you look at the NYS map, Hokul won in the D-cities: NYC, Albany, Syracuse, Rochester, Buffalo, and the socialist city of Ithaca (home to Cornell U). The rest of the state is red.
NYC went for Hochul, with thier high crime? I guess they like
getting pushed onto subway tracks by crazy people..
Dem Voters are myopic.
If it didn’t happen to them or someone they know, or if it didn’t happen right in front of their very own eyes, then it Didn’t. Happen.
Zeldin did give it a good shot—probably as good a shot as you could take in the our chaotic times. A loss by 6-7 points in a state that has voted +20 dem is a game effort.
Most of the NYers who moved here were Repubs. It’s why R registration shot up over D by 300K this year.
(Could also be the main part of the reason Zeldin lost in NY).
FL. has *always* had some braindead Dem Voters.
They just matter less now that a bunch of R voters have moved in to escape the madness of Dem – run States.
Thankyou to the Repub. Out-of Staters who moved in in the past couple years!
I hate what you’ve done to the Real Estate Market down here, but I LOVE what you’ve done to FL. Politics!
Not very long ago (probably just last week), I felt like on a regular basis I was defending those who moved to FL from blue states like NY.
Many assumed everyone from those states was a lib and I’ve been trying to explain for a few years that the blue states have millions of conservatives and those who are moving to FL are predominantly not libs. This election proves that.
Slightly off topic but can someone explain why my conservative relatives and twitter are ditching Trump? Is there data to support this?
They love Desantis now and believe yesterdays sad results are because of Trump. I seriously just don’t understand. TIA!
They want to end the maga movement the same way they did the Tea Party movement.
It’s over, dead & time to bury it.
You are not wrong.
BS.
Look up A Chinese Influence Operation Promoted an Anti-Trump PAC for the Midterms
Why does Kentucky keep voting for that traitorous POS? Or is it all rigged for RINO’s too?
rigged
When Trump got in in 2017, and wanted to go through the voter info for safer elections, Kentucky was one of the few (only? , can’t remember) Red State to say that the commission couldn’t have it. That was enough to catch my attention.
EXACTLY. That’s what I’ve been saying – don’t want anything to disturb their control and power.
Psyops. It’s the plan. The uniparty got together to figure out how to get rid of Trump. They made the red wave only in Florida. They’re making Desantis a saint. It’s all rigged. The vote is rigged. If it weren’t so evil it would be brilliant. We live The Truman Show.
Thats my early takeaway too. Push a FL only red wave narrative to elevate DeSantis as the one who can be the next Trump without all the Trump baggage that turns off the easily offended. And imho, the uniparty cannot and will not allow Kari Lake to win, become a successful AZ Gov and get a foothold towards gaining national prominence that could set her up for a POTUS run or a VP selection.
she’s a big threat to the gop lifers and dems. she had to be stopped via cheating.
The dems would love to get Desantis to DC so they could kneecap him same as Trump.
He needs to say in FL. where he can inflict more damage to DC control.
We take back our states we remove the sting of DC and their poison they spread in our states!
Because that’s what the MSM is trying to sell. Since there were no repercussions to stealing the 2020 elections, the Dems (with plenty of help from the GOP) stole the 2022 elections from MAGA candidates. Why not? Yes Trump polls better than anyone else and his endorsements have cleaned house in the past but the Uniparty wasn’t going to allow that forever. So now that they stole it from MAGA, they have to sell the narrative that everyone is tired of Trump and hope he goes away.
More importantly they hope people will start giving up on Trump in the hopes that the those in power will start playing nice again. Something like an unspoken deal… Just get rid of Trump and all this chaos will stop. Spoiler alert…. they won’t stop.
So…..NOT equating Tumps and Jesus, but this is where the MSM whips up the crowd to scream “Give us Barabbus?”
If I’m following you correctly?
I wasn’t think of it that way, but yes…. I think that’s pretty accurate. Amazing how quickly so many people are willing to turn their back on Trump after all he has done for us. Sad. I guess they think DeSantis is going to save us, smh.
I think at this point, TPTB are not going to allow us anymore true uncontrolled MAGA candidates. We might sneak 1 or 2 past them, but nothing that will be impactful. I don’t know if it would’ve made a difference, but I really wish we had started a new party after 2020 instead of trying to get the GOP under MAGA control. It’s just way too corrupted.
Republican establishment would rather lose than elect MAGA candidates.
Not sure how they think they can win without Trump in the rust belt.
PA96er, what makes you think that establishment republicans want to win?
They don’t want to win. They make just as much money as the minority.
That may well be, how much more even before 2024
From those who are debating that President Trump should have announced his running again in Miami-Dade, it appears they have missed what Trump said about not the time to distract from the imminent elections ahead of 2024. This is what Democrats do when they lose – blame/make excuses of which the top five always resurface. There is a large swath of American voters who are idiots. Below the surface there are the nefarious influence-rs and dark money involved in American elections. Mary Trump, President’s Trump’s niece become anti-Trumper; couldn’t have been more clear not long ago (May this year) made this tweet “Hundreds of voter subversion laws
are only a governor’s signature away from going into effect. Please join the Democracy Defense Fund in supporting these gubernatorial candidates who are committed to protecting our #VotingRights.” That, and her deranged rhetorics like calling him “mass murderer criminal Donald Trump”. DDF is a PAC that is intervening in races across the country, including in Pennsylvania, Georgia and Ohio. While the Democracy Defense Fund seeks to intervene in battleground elections, its only listed address is in the Bay Area. That is also where
China’s espionage and influence operations are strongest. It’s also the wellspring of money pouring into American elections. Aside from Mary’s name out front, the DDF PAC has been a black box.
The site only mentions her name and no other employees, advisers or
board members. And yet DDF has sent out fundraising emails urging
donations to Stacey Abrams, Beto O’Rourke and Raphael Warnock. It
bombarded mailboxes with a plea from Mandela Barnes, running against
Senator Ron Johnson: something that the Democrat Senate candidate
and DDF could do because it’s a hybrid PAC.
The only address listed by DDF is a post office box at a Bay Area post
office. But this particular post office is also used by the Hold the House
PAC fronted by former Democratic Rep. Mike Honda and run by a Silicon
Valley strategy firm. The former congressman was a controversial figure
who was accused of a pay-to-play scheme with donors.
An Office of Congressional Ethics (OCE) report stated that there is
“substantial reason to believe … Honda improperly tied official activities
to past or potential political support.”
Honda’s “1,000 Cranes” list served as an index of special favors that
appeared to be performed for top donors. And Honda was one of the
politicians targeted by Fang Fang, a Chinese spy. Honda can be seen
posing with the foreign agent at the Chinese Embassy in D.C.
The existing questions about who is really behind the Democracy
Defense Fund took on a new urgency with the release of the
Dragonbridge or the Spamouflage Dragon influence operation running
out of China. The latest Chinese operation in which operatives
pretended to be Americans made waves because for the first time they
appeared to be directly interfering in an election by adopting American
personas and promoting American political organizations.
While the Chinese Communist operatives pretended to be Americans
from across the spectrum, the Left and the Right, one tweet was
notable. It read, “Hundreds of voter subversion laws are only a
governor’s signature away from going into effect. Please join the
Democracy Defense Fund in supporting these gubernatorial candidates.”
Dragonbridge was amplifying Mary Trump’s tweet and promoting the
Democracy Defense Fund. There is no record of the Chinese influence
operation promoting any other PACs.
DDF claims that “our democracy is in danger”, (the Democratic latest slogan that’s been shoved out by media and Biden/minions, etal every day (translated actually says Democrats are in danger) but it’s being promoted by one of the world’s most brutal totalitarian dictatorships which is at war with the United States. It alleges that Republicans are “planning the next coup”, but DDF’s amplification by Communist China raises questions about where the real backing for the next coup is coming from.
The account in question has since been suspended but it raises troubling questions about not only Communist China’s involvement in the midterms, but its support for a Democrat PAC.
And it makes it more urgent than ever to answer the question of who’s really behind DDF.
Sorry forgot to do word wrap before posting the text made
No offense but I can’t wait for people like this to suffer who the real DeSantis is. By the time they realize that he is a puppet of RINOs and bought and paid for by people like Ken Griffin, it will be too late but they will deserve it.
The U.S. will be balkanized and cease to exist long before any potential betrayal by DeSantis, even if he is planning on a betrayal.
I know the standard answer is that this is what the MSM and the RINOs are trying to sell. However, there were a great many people on even this very site that kept warning that they were done with Trump until he proved he had learned his lesson on Operation Warp Speed, on the “largest minority vote for conservatives ever,” and a few other incorrect policy decisions that were directly contrary to his base.
People were warned. People didn’t listen. People accused those giving warning of being shills, and anti-MAGA, anti-patriotic, anti-American, and even glowie plants.
The vote fraud wasn’t taken out anywhere except in Florida by DeSantis, and yet people continued to screech that DeSantis was deep state because he wasn’t “investigating” the fraud.
What we got is as predicted. Only 13% of blacks voted red, and less than 40% of Hispanics (an admitted increase, but only of about 6%).
MAGA has split, largely on cult lines between those who borderline worship Trump, and those who see the reality of outcomes, do the math, and are increasingly black-pilled on certain unpleasant topics that a lot seemingly don’t want to face, let alone acknowledge.
How do you explain Ohio giving Covid lockdown king Dewine an even greater landslide than DeSantis?
Also, voters choosing to keep that tyrant Whitmer in power?
How does DeSantis win those voters? Covid lockdowns didn’t matter to them.
DeSantis benefitted greatly from all of the new red Florida residents that fled blue states during covid.
>How do you explain Ohio giving Covid lockdown king Dewine an even greater landslide than DeSantis? Also, voters choosing to keep that tyrant Whitmer in power?
There is a critical mass of voters who will support left-liberalism on essentially theological grounds, regardless of the conditions it produces. These people cannot be persuaded. They can only be converted. However, they are content with the religion they have.
> How does DeSantis win those voters?
He can’t. No one can. There’s only one option (two subsets of one option, really) and it isn’t nice.
Would you have rather had us vote for Nan Whaley? Sorry, I’ve seen what female D governors have done in other states.
I live in very blue Franklin County, but I still vote. It’s my right.
I’ll add a couple nuances (since I happen to agree):
My experience since 2015 has been that the wellspring to PDJT’s core support is that he is the one, the first, who stood up, pointed a finger at the engrained corruption across American institutions and said “I will fight this. I will work tirelessly to restore American greatness.” With the analysis of a sharp statistician he also pointed out who was being hurt the worst. It’s the principle reason I voted for him twice.Sundance has always been correct on a key talking point (for lack of better phraseology): he is our chosen instrument; not the other way around. It does seem at times that that idea is not fully absorbed leading to the issues listed in your second para. At the very least, it is possible to disagree respectfully (unlike, shall we say, other netizens who first appeared in social media circa 2008 in support of a jejune, manufactured candidate from Illinois).I observe PDJT and do appreciate that he has stood forward and fought the good fight – where most no one else has the courage. I also observe some critical flaws that have led to bad decisions in repeated patterns. In my own mind, the confusion articulated in the second bullet undercuts what needs to happen: the MAGA base, while covering PDJT’s back, needs to discretely exercise pressure when needed to curb bad decisions flowing out of the flaws (call them instincts if you prefer). Similarly, the excuse factory just doesn’t carry weight with folks like me. We’re at a critical inflection point in the nation’s history – there are no extenuating circumstances; there is only winning (as someone once put it).As an aside, from where I sit, much of this (left/right) doesn’t matter to me. Yes, I’ld like to see the Deep State insiders outed, tried and convicted – with extreme prejudice. That said, I don’t believe either primary political force has accurately detailed the true economic catastrophe staring the country in the face. At this point, I’m not even sure it can be prevented. 60 years of irresponsible spending, insurmountable debt and domestic/international lawlessness has placed this country in a very precarious position. Once the dollar collapses it’s game over.
We have squandered the power and opportunity the Great Generation handed off to us. Leadership has to articulate the true state of affairs, in detail, and the the plan of action (which entails more than clearing the deck of the wastrels/liars/crooks in power). I don’t believe anyone has the courage to really describe how painful the fixes are going to be.
At some point in the dynamic, sorry to say, the correct door to walk though becomes the one labelled “I’m outta here. Taking care of my family and fencing off the threats in the time I have left to me.” Tired of all the internecine sideshows that do not redound well to the individuals who simply seek to increase the proverbial headcount for threats real and imagined.
Yes. Perfect response. Yes to all of it.
> That said, I don’t believe either primary political force has accurately detailed the true economic catastrophe staring the country in the face. At this point, I’m not even sure it can be prevented.
It can’t be prevented.
> Once the dollar collapses it’s game over.
Oh yeah. But worse than game over. Imagine going from “only superpower” status to something equivalent of Ethiopia, complete with regular power failures, blackouts, no gasoline, no food, no running water, in approximately a decade.
That’s what we’re facing. And we’ll lose a major war too. We’ll lose it so decisively no one will be able to miss the writing on that wall.
> “I’m outta here. Taking care of my family and fencing off the threats in the time I have left to me.”
No offense, but that is just slow suicide. It won’t work. There are no islands in what is coming. You need more mutual support. Read the “one year in hell” from the Bosnia survivor.
https://personalliberty.com/one-year-in-hell/
No offense taken.
In the circles I move in, that thought has gained a lot of currency in the last year or so.
So you are in favor of a robust primary where the voters get to decide, right?
> So you are in favor of a robust primary where the voters get to decide, right?
No, not at all. Universal suffrage is and always has been a loser. We’d be better off with a monarchy than universal suffrage. It literally worked in Europe for almost two millennia and built WesternCiv.
That was the point of yesterdays loss.
Engineered to defeat MAGA.
It’s a b.s. narrative, and is what Establishment wanted all along – see all the DeSantis articles here from the past 3 months or so.
Hugh Hewitt’s guest this morning was so disgusting I couldn’t take it anymore.
Said:
1- “these primary voters thought they knew better, ‘stubbornly picking extreme Trumpian or emotional’ candidates over [RINOs who could win]”
n.b. – yea, Moron, WE are the voters, and we DID know better, and You UniParty Establishment “consultants” can go stuff it
2 – (paraphrase) “DeSantis turned Florida crimson, bloodying the floor with Crist, showing his power, etc… we need DeSantis in ’24 and not some guy who couldn’t even beat Biden”
n.b. – dude, jump in a lake.
This is the entire narrative you will hear for the next year. A slim “victory” is the worst outcome for ’24. Too weak to investigate anything, will get blamed for continued destruction of nation “Repubs controlled Congress and look what happened” blah blah
Dial up Establishment Candidate, put MAGA to bed, back to normal, “go back to sleep America, we’ll wake you when we come for your remaining life”
It’s because that’s what the Fake News is spewing.
Listen to TV news and it’s all you heard last nite.
They’re just Fake News believers.
I’m listening to all the apologetics this morning about WHY the anticipated RED Tsunami never materialized. How could the electorate be so dumb that they could send the Dem’s back into control in the face of rampant inflation and economic malaise? I have the answer, they’re grasping-for.
Jobs
Despite the punishing inflation … nobody has lost their jobs yet. So far, this is NOT a recession of unemployment. Add to that the gigantic number of government employees the rolls of which are swelling … no fire, no layoff jobs … and the swelling of welfare rolls and payments … and the American people have only been “inconvenienced” by historic inflation.
But make no mistake … the PAIN is coming. Boy oh howdy … it’s coming. Facebook/Meta waited (strategically) till after the election to fire thousands of employees. Their pink slips are coming this week. And the culling of employees will accelerate into next year as The Fed keep Pumping the economic brakes. 2023 is gonna be ugly … really ugly. I suspect the numbers of folks who voted blue are gonna be feeling DEEP BLUE by the time 2024 rolls around and Trump’s second term begins.
Well said. Chase has laid off a couple of thousand in their mortgage sector, many smaller mortgage companies have closed or consolidated. One midsize lender has had two rounds of layoffs. Salaries, hiring frozen. Annual bonuses and 401k match gone.
This is gonna get real ugly, real fast. And then will come the government solutions to all that ugliness…
Wait till we have to bail out the banks again.
The Banks … the Central one anyway … are wiping out middle class wealth. Isn’t that enough? Do they have to kick us in the balls … and … tittie-twist our nipples?
The media tells us the libtards won and the Rs say “Oh, Okay. We’ll get them next time”. Who voted doesn’t really matter a lot. Who counts the votes does.
There was obvious fraud in many of the races. But, in regards to stupid voters a good example is AOC.
She is a study in the American political class today. Very stupid. She has no idea how her lifestyle is brought to her but she is sure that the main thing that makes it possible is bad.
She is also a very typical voter in America today.
Nearly every real race is decided by a few thousand to a few hundred thousand votes.
It’s all about mail in balloting.
It does not take much to harvest a few thousand votes and nobody will be the wiser.
If you look at the ham sandwich from PA, he supposedly got more votes in a midterm year than the previous PA senator got in the 2016. On top of that PA has lost population. So what they are selling is that more people switched from R to D this year, I guess because the Ds are doing a great job?
Spot on. The only way we can verify now is to run down the mail in votes and determine if they are valid. That is the one thing that will not happen. Just like in the 2020 audits the only “audits” were just to count the votes again.
> Nearly every real race is decided by a few thousand to a few hundred thousand votes.
This means you’ve already lost, and that the country is not salvageable. It means universal suffrage has failed. It means balkanization is inevitable, followed by civil war, segregation, ethnic cleansing, and other really wild, unpleasant, ugly stuff.
Demographics is everything, and demographics always trumps ideology. Always. There is no known exception in all of human history.
2020 wasn’t fixed except in one state, by one man who is largely hated on this site. Without that fix, nothing else matters, but even if it was fixed, the open borders, the influx of non-Americans, and the demographic trends seal the deal.
There is no reasonable way for Trump or DeSantis or anyone else to win in 2024. It doesn’t matter who runs.
Perhaps … when Kari Lake wins … a woman who is LOVED on this site … she too, will FIX the broken vote counters? All 25% of them. Eh? Then, the most VISIBLE and OUTSPOKEN election denier and Trump supporter can restore sanity in another US State? That said … she won’t be challenging PDJT in 2024 as are certain other GOPe selections.
Stockholm syndrome. Lots of people enjoyed being told what to do and paid to stay home and watch Netflix.
And they chose to keep their tyrannical leaders in power. Not sure the Michigan and Wisconsin voters who couldn’t even vote out incumbent governors are going to love DeSantis for his leadership during covid.
Since I’m from Wisconsin, I’d like to address what happened in 2020 during the worst of the Covid lockdowsn. Evers shut the state down on March 17,2020, St. Patrick’s Day. The state supreme court opened the state back up 6 weeks later. Evers got credit for the state not being totally locked down when He is the one who wanted the lockdown, but hid behind the state supreme ruling he opposed.
Another thing is Tim Michels ran a good race to win the republican nomination for governor, but he ran a terrible race in the general election. I will always be suspicious of who Tim Michels really is and why he ran for governor in the first place. You HAVE to beat the margin of steal from Milwaukee to win in Wisconsin. The Dems always steal races with the help of the loath some Robin Vos, GOP Speaker of the Assembly
Yup. Between having to beat the margin of the steal in Milwaukee County, and with the continued influx of “vote blue no matter who” voters in Dane County, it’s unfortunately getting harder and harder for R’s to win on a Statewide level here.
Industry was ahead of the unemployment curve. However, with the offshoring of manufacturing over the last 50-60 years, severely in the last couple decades, including during the last crash a decade or so ago, there are fewer jobs to eliminate so the numbers don’t seem that bad.
The bad news is comparatively little is produced here, including raw materials, leaving the country very vulnerable in time of strife or war, both of which I predict are coming in levels unprecedented.
Myself, I’m on strike. I closed my little manufacturing business in protest and refuse to contribute my skills and knowledge to this shyteshow. Fortunately, most people put money above principles so militants like myself are few and far between.
However, if we’re not building stuff, the country will die. TBH, I won’t be sad. Humans make choices and and consequences are the result. Gargle the Communist’s balls is a choice. The Republic’s humans who did and do can own it.
btw….a Red Wave? Maybe not. But no one should mistake that the tables have been turned. The objective now should be to figure out where the adjustments need to be made. There has been a good article or two today along just that line. Now is the time to amp up…not celebrate or fret.
Now to Jan is the proverbial calm before the Leftist storm. 2023 on into 2024 is gonna be stressful/climatic beyond belief IMO.
In the interim, I don’t know about you, but I (perhaps a bit cruelly) will be lmao every time I see a Fetterman interview. A constant reminder of how vapid the Dem party has become (aka the Biden Standard).
Now…time to turn up the heat on the GoP; time to move the Turtle to the sidelines.

Darn
King County cheated again and put that useless hag patty murray back in the senate again.
We in WA state are so screwed.
Tiffany Smilley would have been great.
I live 7 miles east of Tacoma and they are talking of putting a homeless camp about 8 miles from here.
Guess that’s their answer to the homeless problem in Seattle.
People in this state need to wake up!!!
> King County cheated again and put that useless hag patty murray back in the senate again.
> People in this state need to wake up!!!
LOL.
I have family right in Seattle. The homeless camps – not just tents but also small RVs – are all over the place. Police are nowhere to be found if you need one. Although during the lockdowns they seemed to find lots of time to follow young families around and harass them when they just wanted to get out of the house with young kids and sit in a parking lot to eat their takeout “picnic”.
A beautiful part of the country destroyed by leftist politicians and globalist criminals.
It is obvious what happened. The dems have had more time to perfect their steal. The so called conservative media will not talk about the steal.
They will now pivot to the “Our only hope is DeSantis” trope.
There are enough aliens now who are coached to vote and no one is checking voter eligibility.
Don’t be naive to think the demons are the only ones “stealing” elections. It’s a joint venture from the Uniparty. R’s are snuffing out MAGA candidates to keep the “establishment” power. DeSantis’s landslide victory is an indication that the establishment club is alive and well.
Oh Yes. Mitch McConnel is no doubt doing cartwheels in celebration.
….” DeSantis’s landslide victory is an indication that the establishment club is alive and well.”……
That’s ridiculous.
His landslide victory in FL. has NOTHING to do w/ UniParty and everything to do with a LOT of R voters not wanting to elect the train wreck Crist.
Also that FL. has done pretty well w/ getting rid of voter fraud in comparison to many states.
When do the mass demonstrations in the street start like what’s happened in Brazil, Pakistan and other countries who feel cheated out of free and fair elections?
Will Americans do this, or back to their social media accounts to watch pictures of kittens?
Land of the free and home of the brave?
This is not the time for that. This machine is too entrenched to confront. Besides, the cities will be descending into chaos within the year, maybe sooner. Those of us who are behind enemy lines, in blue areas, need to be in a defensive posture until the destruction that is underway starts to abate, which might be a very long time.
If you’re lucky enough to live somewhere sane, then you should just double down on extreme republicanism. Ban child sacrifice if you can, get the commies out of your schools, build a strong MAGA political machine, support family values, and try to attract churches and other foundations of tradition. You can start the rebuilding now in those areas.
Working on it. I am in a rural area of WY – our larger cities are being infiltrated and we have to find the time, energy and financial ability to fight back against the invasion. It’s a mystery to me why they bring their misguided convictions with them when they were successful in escaping the evil.
I worked a 14-hour day at my local election poll yesterday and everyone agreed to my saying a prayer before we unlocked the door. It was a really long day but absolutely worth it.
The results don’t make sense to me. I live in a purple county. My “republican” representative Fitzpatrick beat his challenger Ehasz by 10%. How does Mastriano lose to Shapiro by 13% and then Oz loses to Fetterman by 3%. Bucks County supposedly voted for Shapiro and beat Oz by 20%. All the Democrats in Bucks pulled the lever for Shapiro but not for the down ballot Democrats?
If you look at the NYT elections results website and tried to compare this election against the 2020 election with regards to turnout. It looks like a great deal of counties in PA, including Bucks County, didn’t report final totals. I find that odd.
They were waiting to see how many votes would be needed to complete the steal.
Correction to my comment: Bucks County supposedly voted for Shapiro and beat Mastriano by 20%.
Karl rove ran ads for this exact outcome.
Vote for Oz, but Shapiro isn’t so bad.
They wanted Oz and Shapiro to win. But they didn’t deliver the votes needed for Oz, or the fraud was too great.
They sure called PA early for Fetterman. No waiting for days of counting like they said was going to happen.
This is just unreal, they either cheated AGAIN, or this collective country has lost its mind. How anyone could continue to vote for this madness we find ourselves in is beyond me. A divorce is desperately needed. As for President Trump, I wouldn’t blame him one bit if he chose not to walk back into this cesspool.
Who is this imposter? Lol
Lol…..I saw your handle a while back and wondered the same thing…..looks like there are two Reds!
You need a blue check mark.
I do believe it is more of they did some more cheating and there are areas where i do believe that the citizens are braindead.
While I don’t discount major cheating went on, I’ve come to realize that this country IS THAT far gone.
I think you are right. It’s really unbelievable…..
Bannon and WarRoom reporters fell for the big hoax that Hispanics would flip to the GOP in large numbers. That was a complete flop and erroneous analysis. Yes Cuban Hispanics supported GOP candidates but that is not the same as Mexicans. What happens going forward you can blame on every President of the last 40 years both Democrat and GOP who refused to safeguard our border. And that is every President except Trump.
SAME for blacks who DON’T leave dems….
That’s ALL I’ve heard the past 30-45 days. Hispanics and Blacks leaving dems…Well, that was not accurate at all and WHY does the GOP/McDaniel/McCarthy/McConnell, RNC fall for such crap.
GOP LEADERSHIP IS HORRID and HORRENDOUS.
UNTIL, there is a MASSIVE leadership chg, gop/r’s will LOSE EVERY ELECTION.
The GOP so-called leaders have never shown real leadership
Black voters love abortion.
It has nothing to do with the GOP leadership. It has everything to do with race, genetics, and IQ.
The percentage of black voters voting red, and hispanic voters voting red, also correlates almost exactly with the percentage of black and hispanic populations that have an IQ over 100.
That’s it. That’s all there is to it. The ability to understand the arguments to leave the left, and to have the time preference and long-term analysis to do so, is limited to the portions of populations that have the mental horsepower necessary. And those that do leave the plantation did so largely by figuring it out on their own. You can’t lead someone away from it.
For the white populations voting the other way, it works in reverse. You have over-educated midwits who have been propagandized into voting left via a variety of methods, and the red voters tend to be on the tails of the bell curve. Once side votes identity, the other votes with extreme long-term analysis.
Oh, and many of us TOLD YOU SO repeatedly that the blacks were never, ever going to leave that plantation. We were accused of all sorts of vile nastiness, even though we understood the reality of the situation and it was everyone else who was deceived.
It wasn’t just Bannon and WarRoom folks. It was President Trump pushing this same thing, over and over and over, at every rally, for the past eight years. And there have bee many, many folks who have pointed out the falsehood of it, and who are repeatedly shouted down as anti-MAGA and racists.
Yet the truth outs, and reality shows its true colors every time.
A much better question to ask is, A) does Trump actually believe this BS/nonsense, or B) is he just lying to us?
Which is a better answer? Does either possibility result in him being electable?
One of the big barriers is tribalism. “Cuban” Hispanics and “Mexican” Hispanics? That doesn’t sound American to me. That sounds Cuban and Mexican. E pluribus unum.
And there it is, the day after the election.
Let the Games Begin!
Facebook owner Meta cuts 11,000 jobs—13% of workforce
https://www.cbsnews.com/news/facebook-meta-laying-off-11000-employees-mark-zuckerberg/
A little bit of karma. Zuckerberg gave away hundreds of millions to destroy our elections and country and his employees did their part. They did such a good job that they’re now out of a job. And Facebook lost 700 billion. Good.
It is a global communist cabal now. Economics make no difference to the elites in charge. Their agenda is destruction and depopulation.
If they were laid off rather than fired, they can probably collect unemployment. So we taxpayers pay yet again.
The old saying “Have Faith in the American People “
That was thrown in the trash ever since Covid.
Agree
100%1000%Losing Chabot’s seat to a Cincinnati vote just seems like an unforced error. I’m going to join my local GOP club and do something other than just filling in a ballot.
John Adams, Letter to Abigail Adams (12 May 1780)
The country had two years to put together a proper, foolproof election process. Because of the way the US is structured, this can only be done on a State by State basis. It wasn’t done. The elections are meaningless as long as the election process is so unverifiable, error-prone and easy to cheat.
Last night’s results, therefore, only really show one thing: the Republic is broken beyond repair and it’s time for secession. Once it’s broken up then maybe it can be restored – with a better constitution this time and no Federal Reserve or CIA etc. etc. etc. – but first it has to be dismantled.
This does indeed mean that the Trump era is over because he is only good for Presidential runs, and he cannot win them. Nor will any authentic MAGA-style candidate any more. Those days are over and it’s time to wake up and realize this instead of wasting our life times hoping for change every two years.
Unfortunately, patriot types are loyalists. They like to preserve and build, to make things better that last a long time.
Sometimes, though, old scraps are good for nothing more than being thrown on the fire..
The world needs for the US to stay together, for now. The globalists are trying to get us to break apart so they can more easily manage things.
As down as we are feeling this morning after, now is not the time to give up on America.
Now is not the time to give up on Trump.
FWIW, on Varney and Co. they are pimping the due to the “red wave” appearing to have manifested itself only in the FL elections, DeSantis, is now in a position to challenge if not outright take the reigns as the defacto leader of the party over Trump. They going hard in the paint with that angle.
well then point out the people De Santis endorsed ..LOST…POTUS had lots of winners.
They are no doubt purposefully not mentioning that.
The combination of an uninformed electorate, courtesy of a 3rd world educational system and corrupt, Marxist media, and the rife fraud that is endemic to U.S. elections now, created strong headwinds that only Florida really overcame. And in the case of Florida, the need to highlight DeSantis as the future of the Republican victory, juxtaposed to the performance of the many Trump-endorsed candidates, was a factor there as the “headwinds” he faced were token at best.
Those who’ve often stated that we won’t vote ourselves out of this are correct, but their prescription is usually flawed. If the only alternative is to start killing each other off, then we’re done as a country. No nation has ever survived that kind of “solution” and as exceptional as our origins are, we won’t be the first. The Founders understood that their unique experiment was created for a certain kind of people, a religious, moral people. Not perfect – only God is perfect, so let’s toss that canard right away. But a people who hewed in a certain direction, who recognized that the rights and privileges they enjoyed were gifts of the almighty God, who understood and revered the meaning and necessity of the sacrifice of Jesus Christ. And because of that understanding, the Lord blessed us, for a time, as a nation – we were exceptional among our contemporaries. For those Founders and subsequent generations, the Lord was a bulwark against impossible odds and they grew and prospered.
Fast forward to today, and we’re castrating and neutering children as we encourage their gender confusion; we’re killing them in the womb by the millions and cheering and celebrating about it; we’re inviting drag queens into churches and telling ourselves that we honor God in doing so. Mene mene tekel upharsim…
No political party or politician or election is going to cure what ails us. We will struggle and fight as long as we’re here and have breath because even in a disaster of our own making those who hew in a certain direction know that there is hope and we never despair, though tempted. God is still on the throne and his word will be fulfilled to the last jot and tittle. In the meantime, we pray and fight on, because it’s who we are and it’s what’s right. America let itself down on Tuesday, the many here have nothing to be ashamed about – no need for us to hang our heads. The end of the story is already written – understand it, believe it, receive it. And in the meantime, pray and struggle on.
I’m going to pull down my comment from above again, because I think it is important to consider that the US is not a monolith, and different strategies are warranted in different places.
Those of us who are behind enemy lines, in deep blue areas, need to be in a defensive posture until the destruction that is underway starts to abate, which might be a very long time.
If you’re lucky enough to live somewhere sane, then you should just double down on extreme republicanism. Ban child sacrifice if you can, get the commies out of your schools, build a strong MAGA political machine, support family values, and try to attract churches and other foundations of tradition. You can start the rebuilding now in those areas.
After the coup, I came to these boards and posted that the real fight was at the local and state level. No matter your feelings about DeSantis’ ultimate objectives, or those of his benefactors, he has shown that the real strength of the party is at the state and local levels. If we control those, we create a bastion to move forward to influence national politics.
Your insight is notable, Castelletto, well done.

NYT Predicting 224 seats for the GOP and a 50-50 senate
This was in line with early projections. Late game polls and predictions got GOP hopes way up but it fell right back into what early polls suggested
8:51 AM · Nov 9, 2022
·
Republicans will win at least 51 (Masters and Laxalt) or 52 seats if Walker wins run-off with liberatarian vote coming his way.
Interesting take on things –
This too shall pass. Study groups will be set up. Strategies will be rewickered.
How will the GoP use this power? I don’t expect much because of how daunting the challenges have become.
But I’m really hoping to be surprised! We’ll see if thee are real leaders soon enough.
Millennials are going to be a yuge problem going forward.
They loved their covid life of Netflix and Uber eats.
They are the ones that buy into all of the climate garbage.
They are fine with socialism and trans humanism and globalism, etc.
It wasn’t just Fetterman that won them in large numbers either.
We are headed in to rough waters. Brace yourselves.
The reason for no red wave is simple, conservative media promoting it resulting in many lazy republican and independent voters staying home. Americans are extremely lazy voters. That is why the NWO even exists!!
Retired Magistrate here: I think that Fetterman won in part because of fraud and in part because people felt sorry for him after having a stroke. At first I thought that if he won he would quickly step down and his wife would take his place, now I am not so sure. He, like Biden, is the perfect puppet. Give him enough drugs and a teleprompter and tell him what to do and viola, the perfect puppet.
Michigan and New York, to much fraud and Democrats in control. Once they are in control, no way to get them out. Look at Chicago and other big cities.
The other factor is the remaining fear the covid caused; many people are still scared to death, wear masks, listen to every word the CDC puts out along with the governing mouth pieces in a lot of these blue states. They don’t want to think for themselves; let someone else tell them what to do and then send them a stimulus check so they can eat and pay the cell phone bill.
Again, we are a divided nation; the red states will do well, the blue states, not so much.
Once again, very insightful and spot on.
Hey! Hope you’re doing well, will be in your neck of the woods for some trauma training this weekend.

Kari Lake team said they are in great mood. They think it is mathematically impossible for Katie Hobbs’ to win based on ballots left to count which are breaking for Kari. About 800,000 more ballots to count (ED Maricopa ballots).
Eric Cortellessa
@EricCortellessa
There are roughly 1m ballots left to count in AZ. The Lake campaign says it needs roughly 35% of the remaining in-person Election Day votes to win.
The latest ballot dump from Maricopa County has her leading by more than 75%. Cheers are erupting from @KariLake’s war room.
4:01 AM · Nov 9, 2022
Some rural drops in AZ will come in today….but the big drop comes around 7pm.
Yes, was watching Charlie Kirk and Posobiec last night before they signed off. The numbers they were citing sounded persuasive. This may be a situation similar to that of the primaries: the real winners aren’t known for a couple days (Kari Lake, Joe Kent in WA and even poor Dr Oz had to wait a day or two before declaring victory). Laxalt isn’t out of it in NV, either. We might actually get the the Senate.
I must say, however, I’m weary of politics. It can’t solve what truly ails us, the downward spiraling moral disintegration of society.
ARIZONA GREAT NEWS UPDATE: Lake, Masters, Abe and Finchem will all win their elections after same day voting comes in over the next day or two. When Masters and Laxalt win, the Republicans are guaranteed control of Senate by 1 seat, or 2 seats if Walker wins run-off. Walker will get most of the Libertarian vote to win run-off. Say good-bye to Murkowski, too.
Permanent mail in voting = permanent democrat stronghold.
States that went back to more normal vote in person type elections (still with some mail in) had better results for republicans.
The problem now is that the left knows that same day voting is what MAGA trusts and so they are tampering with it to wreck the same day numbers and doing things to slow the count of same day ballots to try to engineer the steal, like in Nevada and Arizona.
