1) So DemoKKKrats won a special election in IA, which was a flip in the state house and removed the R supermajority there. Very low turnout. Yet doesn't sound like the DemoKKKrats are all that pleased. DNC Chairman Ken Martin is back to the libtoid mantra of DemoKKKrats aren't fighting hard enough. Remember this from earlier in the year? They are "bringing a pencil to a knife fight." So what? Chuck Norris can kill you with the eraser. Meanwhile, Patrick Ruffini says gerrymandering is forever; that one of the main reasons TX redistricted was the FAILURE of the DemoKKKrats to turn any part of TX blue. But most important, he agrees with me that big house majorities don't matter anymore because there just are not many true "swing" districts left..
2) In the past 3 months, 1.1 million more Americans have gone on disability. What's going on? Is this related to the vaxxes?
3) This is political more than economic. President Trump bounced Fed Board Member Lisa Cook, who has been accused of mortgage fraud---you know, like Schiffty the Human Lemur and Big Tish James? (What is it with DemoKKKrats and taking people's homes?) Anyway she vowed a legal fight and Trump was delighted. Now maybe the Fed can stop throttling this economy.
4) We have oil. We need refineries. Ronald Stein notes this shortage may jeopardize our quality of life.
5) Trump is seeking to end cashless bail, which is, of course, no bail at all. Oh, and Trump wants D.C. to have the death penalty for murders. The whole D.C. affair, while I don't think it was planned this way, shows Trump's incredible newfound political intuition. He now is saying, "we're against crime. DemoKKKrats like crime." See, the thing is, a) he's right, and b) DemoKKKrats CANNOT come out against crime because violent crime especially is so overwhelmingly black. So Trump has forced them into yet another 80/20 position. And right on cue, here is a poll showing 81% think crime is a big problem, and the survey says Trump is at 53% approval on crime.
6) PA had a requirement that ballots returned
