Democrats will control U.S. Senate till at least 2024; contrary to the ‘Red Tsunami’ pundits had predicted for Republicans

Democrat incumbent Catherine Cortez Masto defeated Republican Adam Laxalt in Nevada to win the 50th U.S. Senate seat, which will ensure a Democrat Senate majority until at least 2024. Even if Republican Herschel Walker defeats Democrat Raphael Warnock in the Georgia Senate run-off Election on Dec. 6, Vice President Kamala Harris will serve as the Senate’s 51st Vote if they wind up with a 50-50 split. Despite 75 percent of Americans claiming in Polls that our Country was going in “the wrong direction”, ALL the incumbent Senators running this year were reelected back for another 6-year term in office.

But if anyone is Ignorant, let him (or her) be Ignorant – 1 Corinthians 14:38

So it’s now official, the Democrats have retained majority status in the Senate for at least the next two (2) years, while future control of the House of Representatives is still to be determined. Contrary to quite a few Election predictions, it wasn’t quite a “Red Tsunami” for the Republicans, heck it wasn’t even close.

Within days after the Primary election in mid-September, or about two months ago, both my mailbox and TV were inundated with ads basically stating, do NOT vote for the Republican challenger ‘so & so’ because they were just out to eliminate: “Medicare”, “Social Security”, and something referred to as “women’s healthcare” – which is basically a politically-correct phrase for Abortion. They would then add that this Republican challenger was just “too radical” or “too extreme” for New Hampshire (or probably whatever State they were in).

Funny thing, in most nationwide Polls prior to this past Midterm Election, the vast amount of American voters – like about 75 percent of them — indicated that our Country was heading in the WRONG direction. In a strong paraphrase to the question then-Republican candidate, Ronald Reagan asked the American people in his closing statements of the 1980 Presidential Debate –  “Are you Better Off now, Financially, than you were just Two (2) Years ago?” In light, of the blatant Inflation increases America has been experiencing since Joe Biden was inaugurated as our President – i.e. Gas, Food, Utilities, Electronics, Vehicles, Crime, etc. – the obvious answer to that aforementioned question is BLEEP No !!!

With that all said, how the heck were the Democrats even competitive in last Tuesday’s Midterm Election? Do YOU Honestly Believe that Reelecting an Incumbent Senator or U.S. Rep to public office for 2-6 more years is going to vastly IMPROVE our Country’s Inflation or the major Crime problem in our Cities ??? Dude…Seriously?? In addition to the Bible verse I used at the top of this Thread from 1 Corinthians 14:38, that popular old cliché also comes to mind here – “The Definition of ‘Insanity’ is doing the same thing over and over and over again, and Assuming you’re going to get a different Result.”

Or perhaps the even better question here is – how the heck does seeing a zillion stupid mailed or TV ads stating that the Republican challenger in this upcoming Election is just “too Radical” or “too Extreme” for this area because they alleged plan to eliminate this, that, or the other thing; SO HOW COULD THAT EVEN REMOTELY SUPERSEDE a blatantly incompetent, incumbent elected official who has FAILED to Remedy the Inflation, or Crime situation while they were actually in public office???

Incidentally, isn’t the whole scheme behind the January 6^th Committee a vain attempt to legally prevent Donald Trump from running for President again in 2024 because the Democrats realize that he’ll most likely regain his seat back in two years?

May God bless America going forward !

An Open Letter to Senator Charles Schumer

Posted on 05-22-2017

Sen. Schumer, I don’t live in your constituency but in the larger picture, you live in mine and every other legal, taxpaying American citizen who is affected by the power you hold in your political party, your blind allegiance to it and the obstructionist posture to anything that doesn’t directly benefit it.

There’s something sinister about seeing you bent over the lectern in the Senate Chamber, your countenance resembling what I would imagine Edgar Allen Poe’s would look like reciting one of his macabre tales of doom and gloom, as if there is not one drop of happiness in your life, forecasting a dismal future for America if anything President Trump proposes passes both houses and becomes law.

I know you’re disappointed, I know you had the balloons ready to fall and the corks halfway out of the champagne bottles election night and I know you just can’t face the truth that what happened in the election was exactly the same thing you continue to do, you forgot about the working people, you forgot about the empty factories of the rust belt, you took for granted the high crime, low employment inner cities you’ve made unkept promises to for decades.

Instead of looking inward at the real cause for your party’s loss you had to find a scape goat and if it hadn’t have been Russia it would have been something else.

Sen. Schumer, will you do me and America a favor, will you lay your hand on a Holy Bible and tell America that you believe in your heart that Donald Trump has actually colluded with Vladimir Putin and the Russian Government to the detriment of the United States of America.

You see sir, everything you’ve come up with so far, and you’ve been at it since well before the election, has been superficial, and I believe that anything your special counsel will come up with will also be superficial, guilt by association, the fires of trivially fanned and proliferated by a tilted, hate filled media and super partisan politicians.

Sen. Schumer, what goes around truly does come around and if, or should I say when, this pendulum starts swinging back the other way, do you realize that Mr. Mueller could actually find a lot more dirt on prominent democrats than they do Trump and his staff.

You have opened Pandora’s Box, sir, and basically thrown away the lid.

Now it’s time to chop the log and let the chips fall where they will.

If President Trump has actually colluded with the Russians or any other foreign government, or sold out my beloved nation in any way, I definitely want to know about it, and if he has he should be impeached and thrown out of office in disgrace, but right now you’re a hell of a long way from proving even one little iota of your accusations.

Now let’s turn this coin over.

Did or did not Hillary Clinton allow Russia to purchase up to 20% of American uranium reserves?

Who leaked the classified information that started this ball rolling? For the investigation to be valid, that has to come out.

Did Barack Obama and Hillary Clinton’s State department through incompetence, indifference or both allow four American citizens to die in Benghazi?

Careful how you answer this one because the jury and some explosive evidence are still out there and could well be brought to light in a few months.

Did or did not Hillary, by using an unsecured internet server and allowing Huma Abedin to email copies to her husband, Anthony Weiner, expose classified documents?

Was there collusion between the Obama administration and the IRS to disallow tax free status to conservative organizations?

If not, why did Lois Lerner plead the Fifth Amendment and retire with full benefits?

You see sir, Pandora is neither a Democrat or a Republican and what is revealed in the coming months could well be a two-edged sword.

Careful what you wish for.

What do you think?

Pray for our troops, our police and the peace of Jerusalem.

God Bless America
