The Midterm Watch / Part 4: The Hail Mary Pass
“I’m not recommending for every future president that they take a shellacking like I did,” Obama said the day after Democrats lost 63 seats in the House in the middle of his first term. “I’m sure there are easier ways to learn these lessons.”

With 10 days to the midterm election democrats have called on the services of their only reasonably respected leader: Barack Obama. Blue states from New York & New Hampshire to the state of Washington are now on the defensive. Obama is on his way to Georgia where Herschel Walker is leading the radical Raphael Warnock by at least 1 point. That despite non-stop allegations of forcing women to abort their unborn children, which was obviously politically driven. From there the former president goes to Michigan where incumbent Governor & radical leftist Gretchen Witmer is facing a serious challenge from unknown upstart Tudor Dixon. There are also key local races, 3 US House seats in play and 2 important ballot questions for Michigan voters to decide. Then the great divider heads over to Wisconsin, where several major statewide races, including the governorship and a U.S. Senate seat, are up for grabs. The Wisconsin Supreme Court just ruled that absentee ballot drop boxes were illegal. The Senate race there is of special concern for democrats, and they have spent heavily on democratic candidate Mandella Barnes. It had been a tight race, but Johnson appears to be gaining momentum. In the Governor's race, democrat incumbent Tony Evers has a razor slim lead over Tim Michels.

Obama has an enormous task. The entire nation is about to react to the radical policies of Joe Biden. Obama is a big draw, but will it be enough?

The policies that have been enacted by Joe Biden over the past 2 years have left Americans poorer and the nation weaker. Democrats are hoping that the situation is not as dire as it appears to be. With the Arizona Senate race now so close, Republicans are now in fairly good shape to retake the Senate. The House goes to the GOP. It's only a question of by how much? Before Obama embarked on his campaign journey, he recorded nearly two dozen campaign commercials for democrats. His current campaign swing involves 5 states. Bernie Sanders and Jill Biden will also be making campaign stops. As usual the democrats have flooded these races with $Millions of dollars. God only knows where all that money comes from. All of it may be too little, too late.

Maybe, because he used Wright for years. Wright even officiated at the Obama's wedding and baptized their daughters. Then, when Wright was exposed as anti-American, anti-white, and anti-semitic, Obama knew that he had to ditch him so he could achieve his political aspirations.

Yes, he does. But, I don't know how big a draw he has today. In 2008, adults could easily make children believe in radical left ideology. The children in this video are young adults now, hopefully with jobs. I wonder if they still feel the same.

" ... the radical policies of Joe Biden."

Other than in currently favored xenophobic states such as Hungary, those so-called radical policies are normal in just about every other democratically elected nation.

Have to stock up on popcorn - great entertainment happening and on its way.  World Series now and the midterms soon.  Will have to give up watching movies for a while.  Yesterday they showed Robin Hood: Prince of Thieves for the first time - had two of my favourite actors: Morgan Freeman and Alan Rickman.  Rickman was hilarious.

The State of Washington is in the mix now for the Senate seat, Murray is now in an almost dead heat versus Smiley... She's been bleeding support for 6 weeks now... Not even Dr Jill and the radicals have helped her... In fact is can be argued that they hurt her more than helped...

Kiro, and 538 are officially calling it a dead heat as well.... If Murray's momentum keeps piling up on the negative side, we are going to see our first major republican win in this state in over 20 years...

The times are a changin....

Whitmer is down about 10% since July.    Dixon is up over 20% in the same period.    Dixon is picking up significantly more undecideds.

Now about 49-44%.    Shockingly this could go either way.    Even with Whitmer dominating the three counties in Democrat Detroit .....

sitting here drinking my coffee thinking about that .

IF it ever got to that point , manafacturing a "crisis" to either gain or stay in power , that would be an indicator of the level of desperation being felt  by those people that do so .

In the current times , who would be the natural objects that the crisis comes from , in other words who would be the "scapegoat "?

In todays geo-political world and differing ideologies and policies  , the stage is very "ripe"  to start some "shit " even if there was no "shit" started in the first place .

Im off for another couple weeks of hunting and spending time with the grandkids ......

That and elk (wapiti), seems the area my daughter and grandkids live in are having deprevation hunts , too many animals that the area can not support , so the state decided to thin them out , so its hunt them , put the meat to use , or let them either starve and die naturally , also affecting the ranchers economically in that area , and cull some out .

It is as with anything , over population of the area could lead to desease and die offs that affects the herds , and the game and fish are tasked with keeping the herds healthy .

 the deer will be easier than my antelope hunt , but the elk , still going to have to do some walking for that one .

 and since these are deprevation hunts , its cow elk or doe deer only so its not a trophy hunt. 

 i wasnt trophy hunting for antelope , it just happened that way that the one i did harvest was considered a trophy by some , still tastes great to me, better than some of the store bought meat i have had . .
