Defeat = Disaster

I’ve heard a number of people speculate recently that losing the House and Senate wouldn’t be a disaster. They suggest that even if the election goes badly on Tuesday, there’s really nothing to worry about because President Trump can veto anything bad. That is not the reality. He can’t and won’t just “veto everything.”

We have to pass budgets and spending bills through Congress. There are requirements that must be met in order to issue Treasury bills and bonds for spending to build up our military and keep the government running. 

During President Trump’s terms in office, Democrats, with their media allies, have repeatedly demonstrated that they are willing to hold these important pieces of legislation hostage to get what they want. And there’s plenty of polling evidence in the last few decades that Democrats never get blamed for the resulting impasse. We get blamed. 

It was just this year that Democrats—while in the minority—caused the longest government shutdown in history trying to defund our federal immigration police. They did that just three months after triggering the second-longest government shutdown over more spending on Obamacare.

Trust me—Democrats will not be better behaved when Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez and Bernie Sanders are calling the shots in the House and the Senate, and joined by dozens of new socialists and Marxists. 

They’ve already got legislation written to abolish our federal immigration police and the Border Patrol and to claw back funding for the border wall. And they want much more than that.

They Want To Force You To Pay For Abortions 

Here’s one top Democrat priority that should really matter if you’re pro-life. For 50 years, there has been bipartisan support for the “Hyde Amendment.” It is named after the late Illinois Congressman Henry Hyde, a tremendous advocate for the sanctity of life. 

The Hyde Amendment prevents federal tax money from paying for abortions. It’s the most modest pro-life provision in our laws. It reflected the broad consensus in America that there are far better things to spend our hard-earned tax dollars on than destroying innocent children in the womb. The Hyde Amendment is always included in appropriation bills. 

But today’s Democrats totally reject that consensus. They have already declared that in their first 90 days, they are going to repeal the Hyde Amendment. 

How could they do that over President Trump’s veto? 

They will attach legislation repealing the Hyde Amendment to a bill President Trump will have to sign, or the military won’t get the funds it needs. Or the Treasury won’t be able to issue Treasury bills and bonds. Or we won’t have a budget, causing a financial dislocation that could drive up interest rates.

Your Vote Matters

The polls don’t look good for Republicans. Ignore them. This election IS NOT OVER!

If 10 more people like you and me show up at every voting location on Election Day, Tuesday, November 3rd, we will win multiple House and Senate races that we are expected to lose. 

There may be a few Senate races decided by a few thousand votes or less. A dozen House races could be decided by a few hundred votes. Just 10 more people in each voting precinct would make the difference between victory and defeat.

The 2000 presidential race between George W. Bush and Al Gore was decided by just 537 votes in the state of Florida. An anomaly with the ballots that year made it difficult to discern which candidate some voters intended to support. The Supreme Court eventually had to settle the dispute.

But those 537 votes gave all of Florida’s Electoral College votes to George W. Bush. Otherwise, Al Gore would have been president on the morning of 9/11. 

There are very close races every election where House and Senate seats are decided by a relatively small number of votes. 

• 2016—An incumbent Republican senator lost by just 1,017 votes.
• 2020—A Republican challenger beat an incumbent Democrat congressman by 109 votes.
• 2020—A Republican won a House seat by just 6 votes.
• 2024—A Republican congressman lost by 187 votes.
• 2026—An incumbent state senator survived a primary challenge by just 3 votes.

Here’s an even more dramatic example. In 2017, control of the Virginia House of Delegates came down to a single tied race. After recounts and court hearings confirmed the tie, Republicans retained control of the chamber after the GOP candidate’s name was drawn from a bowl. 

Literally one vote would have made the difference!

So, yes, every vote matters. Your vote does make a difference. VOTE! And make sure all your like-minded friends and family members vote.

Remember, 90% of atheists vote. Eighty percent of Muslims vote. The figure for Christians barely passes 50%.

The Media’s Election Meddling

Here’s one big reason why President Trump and conservative candidates are struggling: Nearly 60% of Americans are getting their “news” from at least one of the four biggest “news” aggregators—Apple News, Google News, Yahoo News and Microsoft’s MSN. And it’s all left-wing propaganda.

Our friends at the Media Research Center (MRC) analyzed thousands of stories from these sites. Here’s what they discovered:

• MSN News—11% of stories came from conservative outlets.
• Yahoo News—only 8% of stories were from right-leaning sources.
• Google News—just 2% of stories came from conservative sources.
• Apple News—a measly 0.5% of articles came from conservative sources.

These left-wing propaganda outlets are virtually everywhere. Three of them are preloaded on our digital devices—Apple News on iPhones, Google News on Android phones, and Microsoft’s MSN on computers. 

Help fight the biased media by sharing these daily reports with like-minded friends and family, and even those in the middle with open minds. Don’t bother sending our reports to die-hard liberals. They’re like a crucifix to a vampire.

Omar Update

Congresswoman Ilhan Omar (D-Little Mogadishu) and her Democrat allies have dismissed questions about her marriages and citizenship as nothing more than “bigoted, right-wing conspiracy theories” and “Islamophobia.”

Well, according to the New York Times, “an Obama-era investigation found some evidence that Ms. Omar had entered into a sham marriage with a man suspected of being her brother.” So, I guess that makes Barack Obama a right-wing bigot since it was his Justice Department that started investigating her.

But wait. . . There’s more!

Questions about her citizenship center around her age at the time her father became a naturalized U.S. citizen. She gained citizenship through her father’s naturalization because she was listed as a minor (17) on her father’s immigration paperwork. If she was actually 18, she would have been required to go through a separate process on her own.

For Omar to be 17 when her father gained citizenship, she had to be born in 1982. But for the entire time she served in the Minnesota legislature, her official biography listed her birth year as 1981. Nobody said anything about the discrepancy then.

But shortly after Omar was elected to Congress, her congressional staff contacted the Minnesota legislature and instructed them to change the date to 1982. That seems a little suspicious. Maybe it was just an honest mistake, a typo. Well, she’s got bigger problems than someone “fat fingering” the wrong date on a keyboard.

It turns out that two passages in her own autobiography—a book she wrote about herself—put her birthdate in 1981, not 1982. Are we really supposed to believe that the congresswoman doesn’t actually know how old she is?

I can see it now. In her next interview, a reporter will ask, “Congresswoman Omar, weren’t you born in 1981?” And she will reply, “Not to my knowledge.”

RFK, Jr. vs. Radical Islam

Kudos to HHS Secretary Robert F. Kennedy, Jr.! Speaking at a campaign rally in Michigan this week for Republican Senate candidate Mike Rogers, Kennedy focused his remarks on one subject: Radical Islam. Kennedy knows something about this subject. A radical Islamist, Sirhan Sirhan (not a typo), assassinated his father, Bobby Kennedy, in 1968.

Kennedy referred to the Muslim Brotherhood as a “death cult” that has left Arab nations “atrophied and stagnant.” He said the Muslim Brotherhood’s goal is to take over societies in order to “exterminate all of the Christians and all of the Jews.” 

Kennedy added that “the core of the Muslim Brotherhood’s toxic ideology [is] a hatred of Jews, a hatred of America, and a hatred of all Western civilization.”

He spoke about the large Christian and Jewish communities that once existed in many Arab nations, saying:

“They’ve all been exterminated. That is the real genocide in the Middle East. . . These were genocides, and they’re the genocide that is envisioned [for the West]. . . The only people they tell that ‘our objective is not genocide’ are Western dupes and useful idiots who believe and support them.”

He also referred to the “Red/Green coalition” of Marxists and Islamists that we see today in America and Europe and that I have written extensively about for American Values and the James Dobson Family Institute. 

Kennedy said they are spouting “communist rhetoric, carrying Palestinian flags and burning down France, going after the most treasured, iconic museums, art, monuments, buildings to destroy them because they hate Western civilization.”

The West desperately needs more political leaders willing to speak so boldly about the dangers of radical Islam and the Marxist/Islamist alliance.
