I refuse to feel badly about the 2022 midterm elections. There was a red wave and it happened all over the country. In Florida, Iowa and school districts everywhere, voters rejected the Biden pablum and put conservatives in office by choice, not by drop-and-roll cheating.

In North Carolina and in sheriff’s departments from border to border, conservatives won. Nevada has a Republican governor who can change the system and stop Boss-Tweed-style politics. And so it went on Nov. 8.

Yes, Democrats are pathetic, but they don’t care about being called names as long as they remain in power. Power is all that matters, because power brings with it money and control. Democrats don’t care about being known as thieves and traitors, because as Saul Alinsky taught them, any means justify their ends. 



The numbers that came out of Pennsylvania and Nevada and the numbers that are coming out of Colorado and Arizona prove beyond a shadow of a doubt that Democrats stole the Senate in 2022, just as they did the presidency in 2020. But Hillary Clinton schooled Democrats in the fine arts of evidence destruction, pathological projection and denial in the face of proof. The Democrats have learned subversion well and as a result they are reaping their ill-gotten gains.

However, it still amuses me to watch Democrats make long-term miscalculations. In the end, their calculus will fail them, as it always has.
