One critic blasted the president's address as 'bizarre, tone deaf, vicious' ... Conservatives ridiculed Joe Biden’s "despicable" Wednesday speech in which he warned midterm voters of the threats to democracy ahead of election day. During his last address before the balance of power would be decided in Washington D.C., Biden pleaded with Americans to vote against Republicans, accusing them of being election deniers and MAGA extremists who have encouraged political violence, promoted former President Donald Trump’s "Big Lie" about the 2020 election and engaged in voter intimidation. Rather than focusing the on main issues voters are most concerned about, namely,...

The Babylon Bee is a great satire site, with a real talent for making some truly fun stuff. Recently, we brought you some of their humor from their “Californians who moved to Texas” series. The California couple went canvassing for Beto O’Rourke in a deep red area of Texas, with special guest Sen. Ted Cruz (R-TX) — who revealed his true identity as the Zodiac Killer — with a twist at the end of the video. Now they’re out with another one — a Democrat midterm ad — about how we moved from the “time of darkness” under the “Orange...

Tuesday is looking even better for Georgia Republicans after two new polls are showing a widening lead for Herschel Walker in his bid to unseat Sen. Raphael Warnock (D) Echelon Insights has Walker up by four points over Warnock, 49% to 45%. One caveat with that poll is that the margin of error is ±5.4 points, which is a wider margin than most polls. The good news on top of the Echelon Insights survey is that another poll shows Walker with a four-point lead. Remington Research, a GOP pollster, has Walker over Warnock to the tune of 49% to 45%...

Driving up prices are supply troubles with natural gas, used in New England’s gas distribution and electric systems. November is here, and so are higher utility rates for Massachusetts customers. The Massachusetts Department of Public Utilities has approved suppliers’ new gas and electric rates, WCVB reported, with bills expected to rise after new rates went into effect Tuesday. National Grid previously warned residential heating customers that they could see their bills increase 22% or 24% from last winter, depending on whether they fall under Boston Gas or Colonial Gas. Massachusetts’ other major utility company, Eversource, similarly predicted that average residential...

Former President Trump is setting himself up to take credit for Republican midterm victories next week as he eyes the announcement of a possible 2024 reelection bid before the end of the year. Trump is holding rallies over the next week in Iowa — an early 2024 primary state — as well as the key presidential battlegrounds of Florida, Ohio and Pennsylvania. The effort is designed to put him in the public eye in the final stretches of the midterms, and preserve the ability for him to take credit if various candidates he’s backed come out strong. There is risk...

by Jim Clayborn | RNNJoe Rogan, host of “The Joe Rogan Experience,” said during a recent show that he believes that the upcoming midterm elections are going to be a bloodbath for Democrats.Rogan made the remarks while speaking to comedian Bridget Phetasy about the culture of fear that exists in America where people don’t feel like they can voice their opinions without facing backlash.Phetasy said that she believes that a lot of people who buy into the transgender movement do so to “signal” that they’re “part of the high status in-group.”“Yeah, it’s real strange,” Rogan said. “It’s real strange to...

Republicans have the edge over Democrats with one week to go before the midterm elections — boosted by a major swing toward the GOP among white suburban women, a new poll released on Tuesday found.​ The Wall Street Journal survey shows 46% of registered voters would support the Republican candidate in their congressional district, while 44% would support the Democrat. While the GOP’s edge is within the poll’s margin of error, the survey shows Republicans erasing Democrats’ three-percentage-point lead on the generic ballot from August (47%-44%). The poll also shows white suburban women — who the Journal’s pollsters say make...

A few moments ago, less than 24 hours after Elon Musk took over as Chief Twit of Twitter, a fact-check has been placed on one of Joe Biden’s @POTUS tweets because… he’s lying. Biden tweeted, “Let me give you the facts. In 2020, 55 corporations made $40 billion. And they paid zero in federal taxes. My Inflation Reduction Act puts an end to this.” Not so fast, homie. Twitter took the opportunity to add context that said, “Out of the 55 corporations the tweet referenced only 14 had earnings greater than $1 billion and would be eligible under Biden’s tax...

How bad is inflation under Biden? Consumer credit outstanding soared by 8.1% YoY in August as the inflation rate soared to 8.2%. Meanwhile, the personal savings rate YoY cratered to -59.3%. Of course, Biden is his tone-deaf manner told Americans to buy a cheaper brand of bran cereal. What a complete and utter mess under Inflation Joe and Foul Powell (on the prowl).

The Republican Party’s midterm prospects have markedly improved over the last several weeks. But will 2022 be a red wave election year on par with GOP victories in 1994 and 2010? The warning signs are clearly flashing for the Democratic Party. Recent polling finds that support for Republicans — both generically and in individual races — has increased substantially amid heightened national concerns about the economy and crime, two issues that the GOP leads on. Meanwhile, protecting abortion rights, the crux of the Democratic agenda has become a much less salient issue.

Despite deep ideological differences between Mehmet Oz, a right-leaning Republican, and John Fetterman, a left-leaning Democrat, the U.S. Senate campaign in Pennsylvania has mostly skirted the issues. It has been a slugfest, marked by relentless attacks and counter-attacks that generated more heat than light. Mr. Oz hammered on — and sometimes misrepresented — Mr. Fetterman’s criminal justice policies, even though a U.S. senator has nothing to do with state criminal justice and sentencing policies. Mr. Fetterman, in turn, characterized Mr. Oz’s legitimate calls for Mr. Fetterman to release his medical records as mean-spirited and insensitive. His campaign huffed and puffed...

Things are going badly for Sen. Raphael Warnock in Georgia. According to polls Warnock is trailing Republican candidate Herschel Walker, which is why his campaign called in some reinforcements, including Barack Obama. Obama tried to dismiss Walker as a “celebrity candidate” who you wouldn’t trust to fly your plane: Obama: "Some of you may not remember, but Herschel Walker was a heck of a football player… does that make him the best person to represent you?… let's say you're at the airport & you see Walker & you say, Hey, there's Herschel, Heisman winner. Let's have him fly the plane!"...

Pollsters reveal Hispanic, African-American and undecided voters shifting toward Republican candidates as the midterm elections approach on 'Hannity.'

With just over a week until election day, the mood of the country portends doom for the party in power–the Democrats. A new CBS News Battleground Tracker/YouGov poll shows 79 percent of Americans believe the country is “out of control” with only 21 percent saying things are “under control.” The poll also shows a sharp break by independents to Republicans took place over the past two weeks. The views on the direction of the country and state of the economy are almost as bad. 73 percent believe things are “going badly” in America (42 percent say very badly), only 26...

"Raskin (D-MD) is apparently concerned that any slide in support for Ukraine represents an abandonment of woke values “Moscow right now is … a world center of antifeminist, antigay, anti-trans hatred, as well as the homeland of replacement theory for export,” said the statement. **** As we have previously highlighted, the bizarre intersection of sending advanced weaponry to foreign conflicts in the name of defending far-left identity politics reared its head right at the start of the war. Back in February, the head of MI6, who includes his preferred pronouns in his Twitter bio, faced backlash for suggesting that a...

Filmmaker and activist Michael Moore is forecasting Democrats to keep control of Congress with a blue “tsunami” in this year’s midterms. With Election Day just two weeks away, Moore — who accurately predicted former President Trump’s 2016 win in the face of many pollsters who said otherwise — is anticipating a Democratic wave following the Supreme Court’s decision to overturn the right to abortion established in Roe v. Wade. “On November 8th, 2022, an unprecedented tsunami of voters will descend upon the polls en masse — and nonviolently, legally, and without mercy remove every last stinking traitor to our Democracy,”...

Gas Prices Set to Soar after Midterms as Biden’s Raid on Oil Reserve ExpiresThe Biden regime and Democrats across the board, in other words, are literally gaslighting consumers and voters with fabricated lower gas prices that they know will soar after the midterm elections. “President Biden is tapping our Strategic Petroleum Reserve rather than ending his war on American energy,” Sen. Roger Wicker, R-Miss., warned last November. “He is putting a Band-Aid on a wound he created.” Biden has no desire to acknowledge the pain that will be felt when that Band-Aid is torn off, preferring instead to offer political...
