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 6th 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 !

Former Congresswoman and former 2020 Democrat Presidential candidate Tulsi Gabbard officially dropped her affiliation with the Democrat party and endorsed her support Republican U.S. Senate candidate Don Bolduc in New Hampshire.
Retired Boston Red Sox baseball legend Rico Petrocelli helps out a local politician he’s supporting, Retired Army General Don Bolduc, who’s running for the U.S. Senate as a Republican in New Hampshire. Aside from giving the crowd a testimonial speech on why he’s supporting Bolduc for the U.S. Senate, Petrocelli was also gracious enough to pose for Selfies with anyone who wanted this for a souvenir or whatever. Here we’ve got the retired Red Sox great posing with Yours Truly at a Bolduc campaign rally in Hudson NH VFW facility.
Since the 1967 Boston Red Sox were often referred to as, ‘The Impossible Dream’ team, or some variation thereof, am I like the ONLY one who associates this team with the main theme song from the Broadway play, ‘Man of La Mancha’? Call me a nerd, but whenever I hear the song, ‘The Impossible Dream’, on the radio or whatever, I can’t help but think back to players like: Rico Petrocelli, Jim Lonborg, George Scott, Yaz, etc., and all the others associated with this great ’67 Red Sox squad.
