Glenn Youngkin's 51-49 victory for governor in Virginia, which Biden won by 10% in 2020, and Democrat Gov. Phil Murphy's reelection by only 51-49 in New Jersey, which had been +16% for Biden. Barring an upward shift in public opinion, Democrats will surely lose their narrow House majority in the House and likely lose their current 50-50 parity in the Senate.
"Because of our Nations’ heroes – and the sacrifices of our exceptional military families – the United States of America remains, unequivocally, the greatest Nation on earth and a Beacon of Liberty for the rest of the world. Our Veterans represent the very best of what America stands for," said Cong. Roger Williams, who represents the central-Texas located Military Base of Fort Hood, in the 25th Congressional District of Texas.
She was supposed to be the one-term president's successor. The vice president who would take the torch from a by-then-80-something Joe Biden. But as things stand now, one has to wonder how Kamala Harris even remains on the ticket in 2024 – regardless of who the nominee might be. A USA Today-Suffolk Poll finds that just 28% of voters — less than 3 in 10 — approve of the job Harris is doing.
Every time there are bad new numbers on inflation, remember back to President Biden’s angry, defensive assertion on July 19th: “There’s nobody suggesting there’s unchecked inflation on the way.” Well, the Labor Dept. announced this morning that inflation is up 6.2% compared to a year ago, confirming why polls show the vast majority of Americans are concerned it. Inflation is a tax that affects everyone.
Stealing – in the sense of robbing Peter to give to Paul – is what every government in the world does, on a daily basis. So when Joe Biden says his Payroll Tax idea would initially apply only to couples earning $400,000 or more, just know that a lack of indexing means it will eventually apply to everyone, regardless of income. Have you ever seen a "good" argument for stealing?
After spending the first 24 hours after the Nov. 2nd Election pretending that Virginia Republicans didn’t elect a black woman as Lt. Governor – the second-highest office in Virginia – mainstream media hacks went full-metal stupid trying to diminish the significance of it. Since they can’t even handle winning the presidency gracefully, it was obvious things would get rough and ugly when they lost again.

Jetton represents House District 26 in Fort Bend County. In the 2022 elections, this district will include areas including Cinco Ranch, Katy, Richmond, and Rosenberg.
It's clear why the superrich are a tempting target to, as Biden puts it, "pay their fair share." But Biden promises he'll never tax anyone making less than $400,000. Really? Then why does he want to audit the transaction of every American with $10,000 or more in their bank accounts?
The gloomy landscape for Democrats in the Mid-Term Elections seem to be spiraling out of control, as President Biden's "Approval Rating" has now dropped to just 38% in the most recent USA TODAY-Suffolk University Poll taken Wednesday through Friday – which found Biden's support has cratered among "Independent" voters who delivered his margin of victory over President Trump just one year ago.

Dan Patrick following the announcement by State Sen. Eddie Lucio, Jr. that he will retire at the end of his current term.
