Voters across the country headed to the polls Tuesday to weigh in on a slew of statewide and local elections that could serve as a bellwether for next year’s congressional and White House races.

THIS is why Virginia is toast. Change "Americans" and you change America. They imported a new electorate.

I’m not sure he said that. I did read that Rinos were hoping if he kept the Virginia House and flipped the Senate he’s be a spoiler. The opposite happened.

If the 2022 election results are a harbinger for 2024, things aren’t looking good for this country.

They don't. As it was in the former Soviet Union, the people vote but the vote counters cheat.

Voter fraud costs money.

It’s strange that Virginia seems to have lost its mind. Over here in Long Island we went more conservative. Suffolk County has a new Republican County Executive for the first time in 16 years. It’s a red wave here.

As of tonight, I am supporting Tulsi Gabbard. It’s time to move on from this clown show called the GOP.

I was relieved to see her solid support of Israel, which has driven away a lot of her nuttier supporters. I find myself agreeing with her on most things, yes I know her past, but she represented a very liberal constituency, and knew to leave when she felt she could no longer in good conscience continue to fake it.

Got that right. I had hoped that we would follow Australia, New Zealand, and much of Europe and turn rightward, but alas it isn’t to be.

Ignore the smoke blowers.

Biden will win re-election and both the House and Senate will be handed to the Democrats.

Bank it.

Republicans are out of money they simply don’t have the funds to compete with democrats now. They are going to have to go head over to Elon Musk and ask for a couple billion loan and in return Tesla and Space X can do whatever they want.
