Will Florida alone give GOP the House majority?

According to The Hill's reporting, Democrats have reason to worry about Florida in the upcoming 2022 midterm elections. According to the article, "In 2008, when former President Obama carried Florida by about 200,000 votes, there were nearly 700,000 more registered Democrats in the state than Republicans." Those were the good old day for Democrats. Those days are ancient history today:
The latest voter registration numbers out of Florida show Democrats’ long-held voter registration advantage over Republicans shrinking to less than 24,000, down from about 100,000 at the beginning of the year.
Dropping from a 700,000 registration advantage to less than 24,000 in a decade is dramatic and then some. Leadership matters. Ron DeSantis is the top Republican presidential candidate not named Donald Trump. Before him, Rick Scott did a solid job running the state. Throw in Marco Rubio, Michael Walz, Byron Donalds and you've got a formidable political party. This paragraph is laughable:
Democrats are hoping to take out both DeSantis and Sen. Marco Rubio (R) next year, as well as regain two key South Florida House seats that Republicans flipped in November.
Right. And I hope to win tonight's Powerball drawing. Charlie 'Flip-Flop' Crist is challenging Gov. DeSantis and Val Demings, one of Adam Schiff's impeachment managers is challenging Sen. Rubio. DeSantis has handled COVID beautifully while getting the better of the public back-and-forths with Joe Biden.

Meanwhile, Sen. Rubio showed strong leadership and a detailed grasp of the issues during the Cuban uprising. Rubio's outreach to the various Hispanic communities has been strong, which gives him a strong base to start his campaign from.

Steve Schale, a longtime Florida Democratic strategist, warned in a blog post on Friday that, without a serious course correction, the party is at risk of falling behind Republicans by the end of 2021.

"Without a full-frontal, professional and accountable partisan effort to turn it around, sometime before the end of this year, there will be more Republicans registered in Florida than Democrats — that has NEVER happened before," Schale wrote. "And, given their voters have higher turnout scores — this isn’t a great place to start."

People are turning away from the Democrat Party because too many of them either don't believe in accountability, hate law enforcement or they're anti-Semitic. There's always been a fringe element in both parties. The face of today's Democrats is either socialists Bernie Sanders and AOC, San Francisco leftist elitist Nancy Pelosi or Joe Biden, who has difficulty 2 straight coherent sentences together.

There are tons of other socialists in the Democratic Party. They're just part of the supporting cast. They just aren't the high-profile face of the Party. If Democrats don't return to being Bill Clinton/Third Way/ DLC Democrats, they'll spend years wandering through this political desert.

Tim Walz's Confederate Flag Fiasco

Image
After Minnesota's Democrats shoved the most controversial progressive legislation down Minnesotans' throats, gossip started popping up about Gov. Walz being interested in running for president . That's died off but Gov. Walz is still making headlines, this time for all the wrong reasons. First, Gov. Walz isn't the brightest bulb in the chandelier. Still, Gov. Walz is fighting against Minnesota's history. This Alpha News article quotes David Hann, the chairman of Minnesota's Republican Party, as saying " The flag the DFL has eliminated was a version of the historic flag our regiments fought under during the Civil War. Minnesota was the first state to offer troops to the Union cause in 1861 , beginning a long tradition of leading the nation in confronting injustice. The DFL quest to erase our history is repugnant and should be rejected." Gov. Walz, though, sees things differently. He's quoted as saying "Minnesota is a diverse state, it continue...

What is Kamala Harris afraid of?

Image
Apparently, Kamala Harris suddenly loves debating. Let me rephrase that. Harris loves debating as long as the moderators are partisan hacks. She wants nothing to do with a debate moderated by Fox's Bret Baier and Martha MacCallum. She's afraid of Bret and Martha because a) they'll either fact-check both her and Trump or they won't fact-check either of them and b) Bret and Martha aren't afraid of asking follow-up questions. To a candidate whose answers are scripted and who isn't quick on her feet, the last thing you want is a follow-up question. Kamala fears follow-up questions like vampires hate wooden stakes, sunlight and holy water. Why has Kamala Harris avoided Fox News like the plague? The moderators/propagandists fact-checked Donald Trump aggressively but didn't fact-check Harris . Why didn't David Muir and Linsey Davis fact-check both candidates equally? Is it because Harris doesn't like fair fights? Perhaps she's just afraid of getting exp...

Why is Joe Biden letting Hamas off the hook?

Image
It isn't disputable whether Joe Biden's administration is letting Hamas off the hook. That issue was settled months ago, when a spineless Joe Biden caved to activists interested in saving Hamas and thwarting the Israelis' attempt to defend themselves. Gerard Baker's op-ed highlights what's at stake for the U.S. if the terrorists are permitted to survive. In his op-ed, Baker wrote "If, under the pressure of internal Democratic politics and global public opinion, the Biden administration forces a 'cease-fire' that leaves our closest ally in the region short of victory over an enemy that seeks to destroy it, sooner or later we shall all pay the price." It's time to revisit George W. Bush's speech to a joint session of Congress on Sept. 20, 2001. It's required that we remind ourselves of one of its most important paragraphs. In talking about who committed the atrocities of 9/11, President Bush identified al-Qa'ida as "a collectio...
