Listen to this article 0:00 / 4:18 1X BeyondWords Now that the U.S. Senate run-off in Georgia between Herschel Walker and Sen. Raphael Warnock is behind us, the final results of the 2022 midterm elections are in. This is an opportune moment to examine what happened at the polls and what we can expect from the U.S. Senate and U.S. House of Representatives in the 118th Congress starting in January 2023.
With incumbent Raphael Warnock’s victory, Democrats will return to Washington with a 51 to 49 majority in the U.S. Senate. Although Senate Democrats only managed a net pick-up of one seat this election cycle despite an extremely favorable map, that lone seat carries with it great significance. Recall that for two years left-wing talking heads and so-called experts were predicting the Democrats could win Senate races in Wisconsin, Ohio, North Carolina, Florida, Pennsylvania, and even Utah. In the end, only John Fetterman in the Keystone State succeeding in flipping one of these coveted seats.
But with Senator-elect Fetterman’s 51st vote, Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer and the Democrats will now be able to approve President Biden’s left-wing judicial nominees with greater ease and can launch oversight investigations and issue subpoenas as they see fit.

The “conversation” should be a deep dive into election fraud and how to prevent it! The commies are in charge! We know that EVERYTHING they do will be to hurt the country! What is there to discuss except how to stop them?
Here’s how it’ll work.
Republicans will bend over and say, over and over again, “Thank you sir, may I have another”...
Mitch and Kevin believe compromising with the Devil is a virtue.
They cower in fear of bad press:
"GOP Blocks wasteful spending bill. Women and Children hit hardest!"
It was indeed a favorable map.
Pennsylvania, Arizona and Georgia become hugely at risk with mail-in and drop off ballots — not because of fraud potential but because the GOP has not aggressively pursued it.
If people were not voting before because they are lazy, that did not mean they did not exist. If the Democrats found a way to get lazy people to vote, and we do not believe potential Trump voters are similarly lazy, then we are in trouble.
Nothing in the Constitution prohibits lazy people from having their voices heard.
We have to respond to this, or accept ideological minority status, forever.
A few RINOs voting with the dems. Repubs need a 20% majority to actually be repubs due to the RINO factor.
Here’s what to expect:
1) Bigger Government and more government spending
2) Continued if not expanding government corruption
3) Republican voters paying the bills
In the Senate currently, committees are split 50-50, and VP Harris has no vote in what committees do. Dems can’t do the endless Jan.6 type clown shows.
With a 51-49 split in the next session, Dems will control all committees. The Senate can start the next round of endless televised hearings into Trump and the ‘threat to democracy’.
So, Dem ‘orange man bad’ hysteria is going to switch from the House to the Senate.
You’ll get Executive Orders and RINO capitulation, and you’ll like it! /s
The disrespect for marriage act just passed.. a republican prez green lighted masking, lockdowns, travel restrictions and mail in ballots.. they are not freedom lovers… they are leftists.
Indeed, more fodder for the corrupt fake media.
The writer is highly optimistic about the GOP House. I don’t share his optimism. It is clear they are about to squander their slim majority and F* things up completely. Prepare for a scatterbrain caucus, an ineffectual speaker, and democrats rolling the house on a regular basis.
Trump’s 5th election loss as party leader
The ongoing systematic destruction of our way of life?
Got it.
1) more illegals
2) more money for Ukraine (or another backward shithole country)
3) more gay stuff
I think that covers it.
We’re screwed
We can hope for some to die.
