The Final Countdown
There is 4 days until the midterm elections, and you can feel the wave coming. Democrats are on defense everywhere. Midterm election spending is through the roof, with projections reaching past $16.7 Billion (a new record for the midterms). The president made a very divisive speech the other night in the blue city of DC. From there he will go to campaign in California, a safe place where he can't hurt a democratic candidate. His VP, after her third trip to the blue state of MA, will be joining Hillary Clinton and far left activist Letitia James in New York to try and salvage the campaign of acting Governor Kathy Hochul who is in a flat-footed tie with a Republican. That in a state that has twice as many democrats as Republicans. Obama is the only democrat capable of campaigning in the Senate race's all-important battle ground states.
Democrats have played all their dirty tricks, gaslighted ad nauseum, politicized tragedies and just the other night smeared half the country. Most notable was the response of Sunny Hostin to the WSJ poll showing that suburban women had swung to the GOP. She couldn't help but lash out at the very women the democratic party tried so hard to recruit:
How did the democrats delude themselves into thinking that the American people would forget the past two years of hell?
Take nothing for granted. Get out there and vote them out!

Twitter Perk ends: "Twitter’s “days of rest” for employee are now a thing of the past under new owner Elon Musk, according to a report Thursday. Twitter began offering one companywide paid rest day per month, in addition to normal paid time off, during the early days of the COVID-19 pandemic. The policy was meant to help reduce burnout among staffers. Musk is reportedly planning to lay off about half of Twitter’s 7,500-employee workforce, with impacted workers expected to learn their fate on Friday, according to Bloomberg. The cost-cutting effort was widely expected as Musk expressed concern that he had overpaid for the company.

What Have We Learned:
We are witnessing a full state of panic on the left. Ironically the left didn't care about Americans for the past two years. They didn't care about inflation or the destruction of the American dollar. They didn't care about rampant crime in our cities or flooding the country with 5 million illegal migrants. It is only the prospect of losing power that scares them. The American people now have the chance to turn away from a brutal authoritarian regime. Democrats call it "democracy" and if you vote them out Joe Biden says it will be the end of democracy. He also claimed that Republicans will gut Social Security and Medicare! Obama and Hillary Clinton told the same lie. A lie they have been using for decades. Their far-left agenda has failed miserably. They never wavered from those policies even when it was clear it would cost them in the midterms. They wanted to do it and they would do it again. Biden's divisive speech was their closing argument.
We also learned that progressives think they can simply gaslight their way out of this. Some on the left have been insisting that crime is a made-up issue ginned up by a conspiracy of right-wing media! Kathy Hochul, who is getting beat over the head with the NYC crime statistics, said:
“These are master manipulators. They have this conspiracy going all across America trying to convince people in Democratic states that they’re not as safe.”

Finally, yesterday, Hochul at long last admitted there was a crime problem. As I told a New Yorker here two weeks ago, the key issue in New York is not "abortion," it's crime!
