Ten days before the November 3rd midterms, ๐๐ข๐๐ญ๐จ๐ซ ๐๐๐ฏ๐ข๐ฌ ๐๐๐ง๐ฌ๐จ๐ง laid out the number Democrats are counting on โ and the one thing in American politics that doesn't fit the pattern this cycle.

But Hanson points to what's different this time: Trump himself is ๐๐๐ซ๐ง๐ฌ๐ญ๐จ๐ซ๐ฆ๐ข๐ง๐ ๐ญ๐ก๐ ๐๐จ๐ฎ๐ง๐ญ๐ซ๐ฒ on the argument that he's effectively on the ballot, even though his name isn't printed on it. โ๐๐ฆ'๐ด ๐ด๐ข๐บ๐ช๐ฏ๐จ, ๐ค๐ฐ๐ฏ๐ด๐ช๐ฅ๐ฆ๐ณ ๐ต๐ฉ๐ข๐ต ๐'๐ฎ ๐ฐ๐ฏ ๐ต๐ฉ๐ฆ ๐ฃ๐ข๐ญ๐ญ๐ฐ๐ต,โ Hanson explained โ a bet that nationalizing dozens of separate House and Senate races around one man's record can override the historical drag of a second-term midterm.
It's a gamble past two-term presidents never tried at this scale, and Hanson's own read is that ๐๐ง๐จ๐ฎ๐ ๐ก ๐ค๐ง๐จ๐ฐ๐ง ๐ฎ๐ง๐ค๐ง๐จ๐ฐ๐ง๐ฌ remain to keep the outcome genuinely uncertain. Democrats are mocking the strategy as desperate. They're also the ones who have to hope 126 years of precedent holds.

Victor Davis Hanson: The Midterms Could Surprise the Democrats
As the 2026 midterm elections approach, the political landscape is more complicated than the polls suggest.
Democrats are counting on President Donald Trumpโs approval ratings to deliver a major victory, but historical trends, economic uncertainty, voter turnout and the changing makeup of their party could all shape the outcome.
Will Democrats get the decisive win they expect, or could November bring a surprise?

Aside from the great "The Lives Of Others," can you think of a single *western* feature film since the fall of Communism that explores its horrors? "The Death of Stalin" (also great) is a black comedy. I mean a serious drama. What am I missing?

The real American backed coup in Iran was not 1953. It was 1979.
Khomeini was a Democrat installed puppet.
Everything you've been taught about Iran, starting with Mossadegh, has been a lie aimed at normalising the demonic islamic regime.

Regime change is good.
Overthrowing dictators is good.
Foreign intervention is good.
Freedom is good.

X is an incredible app.
Thanks to the auto-translate feature, my entire timeline is nothing but Iranians and Venezuelans becoming best friends.
We are separated by oceans, but have more in common with each other than any of our own regional neighbours.
Truly remarkable.

Communists have been spoiled brat rich kids since forever. Engels father was a factory owner. Marx came from the educated professional class. Vast majority of DSA are rich kids.
Feature not a bug. Commies HATE white people like Evan or JD Vance who wonโt shuck & Jive & do a white minstrel show, throwing their own people under the bus the way Hicklib transplants to the Big City make a big performance of doing (Matt Christman).
If youโre from poor white stock & you wonโt throw your entire family under the bus, you will almost instantly be clocked as an enemy. Youโre a complete and total liability. Youโre a reactionary. A Fascist. Youโre wholly unsuited to Democrat or leftist politics of any variety.
Because white liberals and leftists of all stripes hate white people & want them disenfranchised, fent addicted, genocided & replaced with 3rd world browns.
So unless youโre uncritically & enthusiastically committed to that underlying ethos, political program and the various policy arms that implement it, you are an enemy of the left. Thatโs how they see the world.
Says the bourgeois nepo baby larping as some kind of working class revolutionary. Iโm the real deal bitch, lived in the trailer parks of Missouri & faced 100x more adversity than you ever have in your pampered existence. And btw, @hasanthehun Mao would see right thru your fake ass BS and send you to the countryside

Abdul is not the only Muslim to run for the Senate. Mehmet Oz ran in 2024. No one ran against Oz because heโs a Muslim.
Thatโs because Oz didnโt call Israel Bloodthirsty. Oz didnโt write an oped urging support for the Muslim Brotherhood in Egypt. Oz didnโt have donors who belonged to the MB. Oz didnโt blame terrorism on the policies of the US. And Oz didnโt justify a terrorist on a synagogue.
This race isnโt about Abdulโs faith. Itโs about his extremist ideas.

Ilhan's family had to flee Africa because her father ran the brutal dictatorship in Somalia as a colonel overseeing outrageous atrocities. They weren't fleeing oppression. They WERE the oppression. She brought those good ol' Mogadishu family values to Minnesota.
EXCLUSIVE: Senior U.S. officials tell @Newsmax the federal probe into the mysterious past of @Ilhan Omar is being driven by the Human Rights Violators and War Crimes Unit (HRVWCU) @DHSgov, and that investigators are examining whether Omar's father committed war crimes in his native Somalia. Tune into NEWSMAX starting at noon ET for more of my reporting.

The Dems are flooding prediction markets with bad bets to shift perceptions of reality.
It only would cost $200,000 to change Talaricoโs odds from 50 to 67%
Thatโs a fraction of the 114 million spent on Talaricos campaign and more effective than road signs.
People donโt believe polls but prediction markets create more certainty, because who would throw away money right?
The best we can do is make their marketing stunt as expensive as possible by placing more bets on Paxton and collecting.
Once election results hit the odds will be revealed to have been way off base and the Dems will use it as a call to regulate prediction markets.
BREAKING: James Talarico surges to new all-time high in odds to win the Texas Senate race.
67% chance Talarico flips Texas blue.

Actually, JVS (Jewish Vocational Services) is the largest refugee resettlement outfit in the KC metro and is a partner with Adam Hamilton's Church of the Resurrection.
CoR also partners with Della Lamb, which along with Catholic Charities resettles the next highest numbers in the KC metro. Mission Adelante is a smaller player, also a partner with CoR.
When federal funds were cut off, CoR stepped up donation efforts. In 2025 they even designated the first $100k of a ministry fund to JVS as an Easter gift.
That's only one donation, but Hamilton has certainly been a key contributor to this effort, bringing all 24k members of his congregation to the table.

John Stosselโs answer to โtax the richโ is simple: โ๐๐ฐ๐ฏโ๐ต ๐ต๐ฉ๐ฆ๐ด๐ฆ ๐ฑ๐ฐ๐ญ๐ช๐ต๐ช๐ค๐ช๐ข๐ฏ๐ด ๐ณ๐ฆ๐ข๐ญ๐ช๐ป๐ฆ ๐ต๐ฉ๐ข๐ต ๐ช๐ฏ ๐๐ฎ๐ฆ๐ณ๐ช๐ค๐ข, ๐ฑ๐ฆ๐ฐ๐ฑ๐ญ๐ฆ ๐ค๐ข๐ฏ ๐ฎ๐ฐ๐ท๐ฆ?โ The billionaires are already proving his point.
Washington state signed a new ๐.๐% ๐ญ๐๐ฑ ๐จ๐ง ๐ข๐ง๐๐จ๐ฆ๐ ๐จ๐ฏ๐๐ซ $๐ ๐ฆ๐ข๐ฅ๐ฅ๐ข๐จ๐ง into law in March. Days after the state House passed it, former Starbucks CEO ๐๐จ๐ฐ๐๐ซ๐ ๐๐๐ก๐ฎ๐ฅ๐ญ๐ณ announced he and his wife were leaving Seattle after nearly half a century, moving into a $44 million penthouse in Surfside, Florida, and relocating his family office with him. He called it retirement. Critics call it exactly what it looks like.
California is watching the same exodus play out ahead of its own ๐% ๐ฐ๐๐๐ฅ๐ญ๐ก ๐ญ๐๐ฑ on billionaires, headed to the November ballot. Google co-founders ๐๐๐ซ๐ซ๐ฒ ๐๐๐ ๐ ๐๐ง๐ ๐๐๐ซ๐ ๐๐ฒ ๐๐ซ๐ข๐ง have been quietly shifting dozens of the LLCs that manage their personal holdings out of California and into Nevada, and a trust tied to Page just bought a $72 million villa in Miami.
Stosselโs point isnโt subtle: when a state tries to squeeze the people who actually fund its tax base, those people simply leave โ and take the jobs, investment and revenue with them.

There's a large Vietnamese community in France ๐ซ๐ท. Vietnam was a French colony that was ruled more directly and for longer than Algeria in many respects.
Vietnamese kids top the French education rankings, have some of the lowest unemployment of any immigrant group, and somehow managed not to set Paris on fire.
Weird how some use โcolonial traumaโ as a reason to succeed and others treat it as a reason to riot
American-Egyptian activist Eman Mabrouk celebrates the riots in France: ''I think burn it all down, stop sucking European Master's dicks, liberation isn't going to be pretty, it's going to cost blood, it's going to cost lives.''
Really cool how this third world bio-weapon somehow gets a piece of paper calling her American even as she agitates for race war against white people. 70,000 Instagram likes!
Also really fucking cool that so-called ''Australian'' citizen Dr. Mo Mustafa - widely known as the "Beast from the Middle East'' - collaborated with her on this Instagram reel. He calls himself an Australian for the benefits of the passport while endorsing videos like this which call for explicit race war against Europeans.
Western immigration policy has been a catastrophe for decades, how the fuck did these people get passports when they hate us this much.

There was no "islamic golden age".
The Arabs invaded accomplished, high IQ civilisations and appropriated science, art, poetry and achievements - taking credit for something they could never pull off themselves.
Almost everything produced and achieved during this era was by non-Arabs who were arguably only muslim on paper.
