From around the Nation:

The midterm elections are already so heated it's hard to believe they're not until November of 2026, and not November of 2025.   Given the insane things Democrats are saying one has to wonder what the future of the Democrat party is when the leading potential Democrat candidates for the 2028 Presidential election are Kamala Harris, AOC, Illinois Governor J.B. Pritzker, California Governor Gavin Newsom, and a number of others, all of whom are now pro-crime and pro-illegal immigration, anti-science candidates, and all the Democrat candidates for the Congress support their positions in lockstep.   A power hungry party that shows it's unfit to run a constitutional republic.

• Pritzker and Johnson: The New 'Normal'?

They've lost in a big way the solid Democrat base that was the backbone of the Democrat party for decades, blue collar workers, minorities, and especially the most dedicated Democrats of them all, Jews.  Many of which are abandoning the Democrat party either becoming Republicans, Independents, or simply not Democrats.

Arizona Gubernatorial Race If you believe that in 2022 Arizona Democrat Governor Katie Hobbs narrowly defeated Republican Kari Lake 50.3 percent to 49.7 percent, we’d like to sell you a vacation home at the Ukraine/Russia border. Looking ahead to 2026, currently there are two Republicans vying to run against the docile Hobbs: U.S. House Representative Andy Biggs and attorney and former member of the Arizona Board of Regents Karrin Taylor Robson. BOTH Republicans have been endorsed by President Trump. 

But wait, there’s more! U.S. House Representative David Schweikert is considering a run for Arizona governor. Keep your popcorn handy!

Minnesota : Those who think Tim “China” Walz would have made a great vice president, will be pleased that he is going to run for a third term as governor. (Insert barf bag here.) Walz is rumored to be considering a presidential run in 2028. (Sorry, out of barf bags.) Walz is a lunatic. Our main complaint is that he uses his dog Scout in campaign promos.

Tennessee: Unlike the mentally challenged Democrat governors, Republican Governor Bill Lee welcomes the federal government’s help in reducing crime in one of his cities. In this case, Democrat controlled Memphis. The “Memphis SAFE Task Force," is a multi-agency effort to help make the city livable again. 

Events from around the globe

United Nations: It shouldn’t surprise anyone that 141 members of the antisemitic, anti-America United Nations’ General Assembly voted to destroy Israel. Officially, it was a vote to support a suicidal two-state solution. How many of these governments would want Hamas and Hezbollah living next to them? Hmmm, when else has the word “solution” been used with regards to Jews? Let’s open our history books, shall we? The Nazis also had a “solution” to an issue affecting Jews. The 10 nations that voted no are: - Argentina - Palau - Hungary - Papua New Guinea - Israel - Paraguay - Micronesia - Tonga - Nauru - United States

Britain: The weekend following Charlie Kirk’s assassination, there were rallies throughout the world—to celebrate Kirk’s life and demand freedom. Thousands of people came out in London, some outlets reporting close to one million. Proudly carrying their flags they demanded that the leftist government make Great Britain Great Again.

In Britain, the Kirk rally and many others are under the theme of “Unite the Kingdom.” Led by Tommy Robinson, the British people are mad as hell and not going to take it anymore with attacks on free speech and putting out welcome mats for Middle Eastern immigrants who do not want to assimilate. This is happening in a nation whose Secretary of State for the Home Department is Shabana Mahmood.

Demonstrators carried the Union flag and the red and white St George’s Cross of England, while others waved United States and Israel flags. There were also signs, hats and flags for our MAGA movement.

The voting age in Britain is now sixteen.  Sixteen-year-olds living in the United Kingdom cannot legally drink alcohol, smoke cigarettes or drive a car. But they will be able to help elect the next British prime minister after the country lowered its voting age from 18 to 16.

It will bring England and Northern Ireland in line with Scotland and Wales, where 16-year-olds can already vote in devolved national elections. The change is due to take effect by the next general election, which is expected by 2029. There won’t be much of a United Kingdom left if they keep their current awful liberal prime minister Keir Starmer until then.
