U.S. And International Politics

  Yeah, the Dems are laughing all the way to the Death Camps. They have no shame and the Midterms will show this. And they want to claim the Jewish vote supported Slow Joe in 2020? Further proof that the 2020 POTUS Election was rigged.

No idea what you're talking about.

Their misery is understandable. If the war with Iran extended into the fall, they probably would have won big in the midterms. Certainly winning the House, and possibly the Senate. Winning he Senate would be problematic for he GOP since it would not only be able to block Trump's appointments to his cabinet as well as the judiciary, they could and likely would end the filibuster. If the Dems only get to 51 in the Senate, Fetterman might side with the GOP on some of the Dems more radical proposals, but if they get to 52, Fetterman won't matter. Statehood for DC and Puerto Rico would be a done deal giving the Dems an automatic 4 extra Senate seats which would give the Dems a permanent majority. When they get control of the House, Senate, and White House at the same time, you can count on them packing SCOTUS.

On the other hand, if this peace deal is reached, the Strait is opened up, and gas prices come down, the GOP will likely hold onto the Senate and might even keep the House. I'm still skeptical about a deal being reached soon. We've seen this movie before where it appeared a deal was close only to have the Iranians back out of the deal. I'll believe it's for real when the treaty is signed and ships start passing freely through the Strait. If they back out again, I hope Trump unloads on them with no mercy. Either they make peace or get destroyed. Negotiating with bombs seems to be the only thing the Iranians understand. As Al Capone supposedly once said, "You can get more with a kind word and a gun, than you can with just a kind word.".

Hopefully a deal is cut, gas prices and inflation go down, but I think the Repubs are doomed in the midterms.  Very difficult to change momentum in the short term.  They will almost certainly lose the House.  Even in normal circumstances it's difficult for the party in power to not be blamed for everything that goes wrong.  Our media is a force multiplier with the relentless anti-Trump propaganda campaign.  The Wash Post just falsely reported that there had been no improvement to the reflecting pool which previously had been a disgusting green mess and leaking water.  They can't bring themselves to do anything except oppose Trump.  Facts and common sense don't matter.  Many people have been influenced by that decades long campaign such that they are obsessed with hatred toward Trump.  Even when opposition is contrary to their own interests.  Joseph Goebbles would be proud of the propaganda influences of our media.  All the more effective because it is not the product of outside coercion.  They are true believers.

 Of course you don't! This is why you support these Dem Wackos. You have No Historical Foundation to help you make a sound decision.

The best thing the Republicans have going for them is that they are not Democrats. The electorate is pissed at the GOP largely due to the recent spike in inflation, mainly driven by high gas prices. That doesn't mean they have fallen in love with the  Democrats. They haven't forgotten how bad things were under Biden and the Democrat Congress. The approval rating for the Democrat Party is still significantly lower than Trump's. I think a lot of voters are going to sit this one out or vote third party. The one thing the Democrats probably have going for them is a more energized base. IOW, their voters are more pissed off than the GOP base. The PO factor drives turnout. I'm old enough to remember the 2022 midterms which were supposed to be a red wave and turned out to be a red trickle. I think the same thing could happen to the Democrats this time around. Only time will tell.

  The only noise about gas prices is coming from The Media. Over the Memorial Day Holiday, record number of people were driving across the USA. That says more about the price of gas than anything The Media has to say. That stuff is  and you repeat it. This results in added  .  Food prices are up, but people are eating out in record numbers. Trump is tied up with the war stuff or he would be touting his economic numbers. Record breaking. And that's saying something when Trump is Not blowing his own horn.
