Is New York State changing? Perhaps a little

In 2020, Joe Biden defeated Donald Trump by 23 points in New York State. In 2016, Hillary Clinton defeated Trump by the same margin in New York State. According to Gerry Baker's latest column, that might change this election.

In his column, Baker wrote "But in 2022, with dissatisfaction at Democratic misrule, rising crime and illegal immigration, the Trumpian congressman Lee Zeldin came within 7 points of defeating Gov. Kathy Hochul. The same Siena poll shows Mr. Biden only 10 points up over Mr. Trump this month; that would be the smallest margin of victory for a Democrat since 1988."

Democrats are famous for 'coming home' a month before the election. That can't be discounted this time. That being said, what would these Democrats return to? A Democrat Party made up of voters sympathetic to Palestinians, socialism and Central Americans? Would New Yorkers really return to that new and not-so-improved Democrat Party? The answer might be found in Bob Hoge's article. Hoge's article is titled Trump visits FDNY station after court, buys them pizza. Their response: 'Save us, please.' It'll take more than this to flip NY State but it's a positive step in the right campaign direction:

Let's remember the great campaign that Lee Zeldin ran in 2022. He was energetic, unapologetic and relatable to the people. I wouldn't be the least bit surprised if there's a rematch in 2026. The transformation of NY State won't happen overnight but it's a worthwhile project. If Republicans want a governing mandate, the GOP must be prepared to govern all the people. That doesn't mean abanndoning our principles. It simply means teaching people the appeal of our principles.

The GOP has long been nicknamed 'The Stupid Party.' It's time to change that nickname as 'The Articulate Party.' Further, there's much that I agree with the Freedom Caucus about. What I disagree with them about is their attempt to get major transformative change signed into law with a tiny majority in the House while Democrats have the White House and the majority in the Senate. Get as much as you can, then live to fight another day.

Hopefully, that's after we get rid of Matt Gaetz amd Marjorie Taylor-Greene and win a much bigger majority in the House. Hopefully, that's after we fire Sen. Schumer as Senate Majority Leader and Biden is forced into retirement. I'd like Sen. Schumer so much more with the title Minority Leader.

Is Joe Biden our Grifter-in-Chief?

Apparently, Joe Biden doesn't care about the law or Supreme Court rulings. When asked about the ruling on his student loan bailout, Biden said that the Supreme Court misinterpreted the Constitution. He knows they didn't. That's just what he said to preserve the opportunity to introduce his next unconstitutional plan that will get rejected by the Supreme Court. This isn't about whether it's constitutional. It's about whether he can con enough young people into voting for him in 2024. Biden must've anticipated this ruling. Within an hour of the ruling, the Administration was out with this detailed fact sheet to replace the plan that he knew would fail. It opens with the same partisan attack as Democrats have mouthed. The fact sheet opens by saying "No President has fought harder for student debt relief than President Biden, and he’s not done yet. President Biden and Vice President Harris will not let Republican elected officials succeed in denying hard

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

Maria Bartiromo's interrogation of Gov. Ron DeSantis

Image
Yesterday, Maria Bartiromo interrogated Gov. Ron DeSantis on Sunday Morning Futures. The first half of the interview, Bartiromo asked policy questions. Gov. DeSantis showed his understanding of the issues and presented his solutions on everything from China, inflation and growing the economy. The first reply he had was to cut spending. His next reply was to open energy production. Third, he talked about the importance of increasing productivity, which he correctly said is the best way to eliminate inflation. A little over half the way through the interview, though, it turned into an attack. Bartiromo asked "I'm wondering what's going on with your campaign. There was a lot of optimism about you running for president earlier in the year but here's this weekend's headline from the Politico Playbook: Failure to launch. Gov. Ron DeSantis's campaign to topple Donald Trump has stalled. We are way behind says a top DeSantis PAC official. What happened? Despite that bad
