I had to wait almost three weeks to write this piece since some states can’t complete their vote count in a timely manner.
It appears Republicans will end up with 222 seats in the House, exactly the same as the Democrat majority the last two years. In 2022, Republicans flipped 18 Democrat-held seats red and Democrats flipped six seats blue, yet the talking points are that the Republicans lost and must change their policies because they didn’t win as many seats as projected.
In 2020, Democrats were projected to win seats in the House yet Republicans flipped fifteen seats red and Democrats only flipped three seats. I do not recall the media calling Pelosi and other Democrats losers who must change their policies. Essentially, they acted like their policies were extremely popular and they had a mandate to get rid of Trump’s policies that had worked so well. As soon as Biden took office, he reversed Trump’s immigration and energy policies with a stroke of his pen and the massive inflation and incursion at the border began.
In 2022, Republicans got almost five million more votes in Senate races than Democrats, and in the House around 4.4 million more votes. This is after Biden won seven million more votes in 2020. That certainly doesn’t give any indication that Biden’s policies are popular and the Republican policies aren’t. Nothing in these statistics indicate a loss by Republicans. or that Trump’s endorsements depressed the Republican results. There have been eleven midterm elections since 1980. In 6 of them the President in power lost more seats than in 2022 and in four they lost less or picked up seats. 2022 is approximately in the middle.

They’re Trying to Shut Us Down
Over the last several months, I’ve lost count of how many times the powers-that-be have tried to shut us down. They’ve sent hackers at us, forcing us to take extreme measures on web security. They sent attorneys after us, but thankfully we’re not easily intimidated by baseless accusations or threats. They’ve even gone so far as to make physical threats. Those can actually be a bit worrisome but Remington has me covered.
For us to continue to deliver the truth that Americans need to read and hear, we ask you, our amazing audience, for financial assistance. We have a Giving Fuel page to help us pay the bills. It’s brand new so don’t be discouraged by the lack of donations there. It’s a funny reality that the fewer the donations that have been made, the less likely people are willing to donate to it. One would think this is counterintuitive, but sometimes people are skeptical because they think that perhaps there’s a reason others haven’t been donating. In our situation, we’re just getting started so please don’t be shy if you have the means to help.
Thank you and God bless!
