Well, well, well. Wouldn’t you know it? After months of listening to political experts and the media tell Americans that Republicans were headed for an absolute bloodbath in the midterms, the New York Times has suddenly discovered something rather interesting. Late-deciding voters are breaking toward Republicans by NINE POINTS in seven critical Senate races. And this little revelation comes just as Americans are heading to the polls. How convenient, right? For much of this election cycle, the message coming from the polling world has been downright miserable for Republicans. Dems were supposedly surging, the GOP was in serious trouble, and...

Westchester, just north of New York City, is home to roughly a million people and includes communities where consequential congressional races...

Michigan Senate candidate Abdul El-Sayed has been accused of supporting the Muslim Brotherhood. The Midwesterner wrote that El-Sayed advocated for Sharia law and was heavily affiliated with groups that provided support to Hamas. The apple does not fall far from the tree because his own mother supported terrorist organizations. Three times, El-Sayed has avoided questions about labeling the Brotherhood a terrorist group. He instead mocked his questioner and repeated a painfully generic “this is about democracy” answer. “I’m not going to stoop to that level,” El-Sayed said when asked if he would designate the Brotherhood as a terrorist organization. .......
