| Amazing how the woke news media is centering the whole 2022 midterm year on Donald Trump. The media is on Trump like a crack whore who stumbled across a bag of dope in a toilet stall. They just can’t stop themselves. Of course there’s a method ... Big bad Trump. Scary. Can he play Kingmaker? Can he control the noms? Can he hand pick the field? Who’s for him? Who’s against him? All of these media questions crowd out any talk of real issues: the Dems foreign policy disasters, the failing economy, the leftist attack on the culture and free speech, skyrocketing inflation, and the key question of whether Uncle Joe knowns what year this is. |

| The lawsuit did not seek any changes for the upcoming Aug. 2 primary election given ballots have already been printed.
“The laws are far from perfect and nobody anticipated thirty years ago that approximately 90 percent of Arizona voters would vote by mail-in ballot during a pandemic, but____ these laws are NOT in violation of the Arizona Constitution,” wrote Judge Jantzen.
“They are not inapposite of the intentions of the framers of the Constitution who emphasized the right to suffrage for Arizona citizens and that the voters’ ballots be secret.”
Jantzen noted the envelopes used in mail-in voting are designed to be “tamper-evident when properly sealed” and to ensure that the voters’ choices and political affiliation are not exposed in order to ensure secrecy.
In his ruling, Jantzen made it clear t the lawsuit had nothing to do with the ongoing turmoil over mail-in ballots in the state and across the country.
“It is important to note what this case is not about allegations of fraud in the voting process,” he wrote. “It is not about politics. It is not even about whether the parties believe mail-in voting is appropriate. It is about one thing: _____Is the Arizona Legislature prohibited by the Arizona Constitution from enacting voting laws that include no-excuse mail-in voting?”
A lawyer for the plaintiffs disagreed with the ruling, saying it doesn’t provide voters with increased protections.
“We are deeply concerned that if this ruling stands, Arizona’s most vulnerable voters will be deprived of the protections to which they are constitutionally entitled,” said Alexander Kolodin, a lawyer for the Arizona Republican Party.

| Nancy Pelosi Declared Winner Of California Democratic Primary Race Martin Walsh, June 8, 2022 Democratic Rep. Nancy Pelosi has been declared the winner of California’s primary in Congressional District 11.
Pelosi, who also serves as the speaker of the U.S. House, easily won the Democratic primary on Tuesday night.
Pelosi secured just over 75,00 votes and Republican John Dennis received 13,090. A few other candidates ran against Pelosi but received far fewer votes.
Earlier this year, Pelosi announced that she will run for re-election.
The 81-year-old lawmaker made her announcement in a video shared on her social media, where she was propped up in front of a fake San Francisco backdrop.
“Hello, it’s Nancy. Thank you for the opportunity to share some thoughts with you, our VIPs, our Volunteers in Politics, in our ongoing engagement for the people. Thank you for being a constant source of new, fresh ideas and political activism to help Democrats deliver and defend democracy. Thank you for giving me the privilege to represent our city and our San Francisco values in the Congress,” Pelosi said.
“Human rights, reproductive justice, LGBTQ equality, respect for immigrants, and care for each other. When people ask me what are the three most important issues facing Congress, I always say the same thing: Our children. Our children. Our children. Their health, their education, the housing and economic security of their families, a clean, safe environment in which they can thrive, and the world at peace and where they are all welcome and in which they can reach their fulfillment,” Pelosi said.
Even though Democrats control the White House and both chambers of Congress, Pelosi said “democracy is at risk.”
“Our democracy is at risk because of assaults on the truth, the assault on the U.S. Capitol, and the state-by-state assault on voting rights. This election is crucial. Nothing less is at stake than our democracy. But as we say: We don’t agonize, we organize. And that is why I am running for reelection to Congress and respectfully seek your support. I’d be greatly honored by it and grateful for it. Thank you so much,” she said.
Over 30 House Democrats have announced that they will not seek re-election this cycle.
Three-quarters of senior Capitol Hill aides think Republicans are going to win back control of the House of Representatives in the 2022 midterm elections.
Punchbowl News surveyed several senior Capitol Hill aides and reported that a whopping 73 percent think Republicans will take the speaker’s gavel from Democrat Rep. Nancy Pelosi next November.
A top House Democrat is warning that the Republican Party is in a prime position to take back the lower chamber in the 2022 midterm elections.
Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee Chairman Sean Patrick, who serves as a congressman from New York, says Democrats would lose their House majority if the midterms were held today.
Tim Persico, executive director of the Maloney-led DCCC, shared data with incumbents showing that several House Democrats are at risk of losing their seats to Republican challengers.
And the once-in-a-decade redistricting process – pegged to the 2020 census – is expected to generally favor Republicans over Democrats. |

| The historical pattern is clear, and ominous for Joe Biden and Democrats this year:
Midterm losses are far more common and tend to be massive, especially in the House. For instance, Roosevelt lost 71 seats in the House in the 1938 midterms, which is the biggest loss of House seats since. Roosevelt lost 55 House seats in 1942. Eisenhower lost 48 House seats in 1958. Lyndon B. Johnson lost 47 House seats in 1966. Bush II ended up losing 30 House seats in 2006, after escaping midterm losses directly after 9/11.
Midterm losses aren’t just common, they are the rule.
All Presidents since Roosevelt have had at least one midterm election where they lost seats in the House and Senate. All Presidents face significant midterm losses, be it a liberal or a conservative. Ideology and implementation of policy is irrelevant. Voters should expect the President they elect to lose seats in the midterms, as it is a historical norm.
One false aspect of the narrative is that a President can gain seats in the midterms by successfully implementing their agenda. This is clearly false
