As we all know, Republicans are currently in control of Congress by a very slim margin, but this could all change with the midterm elections. Some are predicting that this will inevitably change, and Democrats have a good chance of taking back control of Congress. This should be both a chilling possibility as well as a wake-up call for both MAGA and conservatives in general. However, despite all of the insanity espoused by Democrats, which puts the nation at risk and clearly shows more of an allegiance to criminals, illegal aliens, fraudsters and other dregs of humanity than to the American public, this is a very real possibility.

Should this happen, you can guarantee that there will be another impeachment for President Trump, the melting of ICE, an open door to more fraud and restoration of hideous policies of the Biden presidency that caused pain and suffering for Americans.  

Does the average American want to see more illegals entering the country to bolster Democratic voter bases? Does the average American want to see more of their daughters raped and murdered by illegals who were encouraged to come into the country and supported by Democratic politicians? Does the average American want to see their hard-earned tax dollars ending up in the hands of fraudsters who send money to terrorists? Does the average American want to see a Muslim takeover of cities where prayer calls pollute the sound waves of urban areas? Does the average American want DEI policies that ignore merit and make hiring solely about race instead of competence? Does the average American support the kind of socialist economic policies that are being inflicted upon New Yorkers by the likes of comrade Zohran Man Dummy?

Voting red in November would appear to be a no-brainer for those who haven’t been indoctrinated by Marxist professors or trans-ideologists; however, this isn’t the case. One needs only listen to the insane rants of AOC, Chuck Schumer, Maxine Waters and others to understand that their “leadership” is a road to their own privilege and disaster for the average American. The “leadership” of Gavin Newsom, Tim Walz and J.B. Pritzker has led to numerous financial and quality-of-life issues in the states they govern (unless you are a Somali living in Minnesota, then you have it made).  

One needs only to look at the number of Democrats who voted against a bill that would expose members of Congress who paid out millions of dollars in bribes to sexual harassment victims. One needs only to look at so many other votes that ended up being Democratic temper tantrums that allowed senators to be paid, while hardworking TSA workers went without paychecks. One needs only to look at the speeches made and votes cast by members of the Democratic Party against voter ID to guarantee only citizens voted in elections, which is supported by a huge number of Republicans, independents and Democratic constituents. One needs only to hear the pain in the voices of parents who have had their children murdered by criminals allowed into the country because of democratic policies that put their children into cemeteries to realize that voting blue is a terrible choice.    

All of this begs the question, why are republicans in danger of losing control of the legislative branch of the American government? The answer is two-fold. First, the problem lies in the lies of a legacy media that pretends to be journalists, but are propagandists for the left. They allow their biases to control what and how stories are reported and their TDS dictates all aspects of what is told to the American public. Many people have turned off their television sets and acknowledged the biases of print media pimps for the left, but the influence of CNN, MSNBC, the New York Times and others is still powerful in influencing the general public. The spreading of misinformation and disinformation is rampant and people tend to believe stories that support their personal biases and rarely investigate the truthfulness of the reports.

The second aspect of this is Republican incompetence and disunity. Democrats rarely, if ever, condemn one of their own, even under the most damning situations. When was the last time Hakeem Jefferies called out a member of his party? They constantly make excuses for party members who do egregious things or just remain silent. They appoint liberal judges who are soft on crime and who view murderers and rapists as victims, and make excuses like, “she was in the wrong place at the wrong time, which is why she’s dead.”

Unlike Democrats, Republicans are splintered in their media and among their ranks. There is no Democratic equivalent to being a RINO (Republican in name only.) So-called conservative media members like Candace Owens, Megyn Kelly and Tucker Carlson, to name a few, spend hours criticizing and condemning President Trump, especially his support for Israel and his attack on a country that has funded terrorism, caused the death of Americans, and has vowed “Death to America” for almost half a century. When the president says that his briefings concluded that Iran is on the verge of developing nuclear weapons that could threaten military bases, they blow it off as hyperbole, even though they are not privy to intelligence briefings. The war is a divisive topic among Republicans; however, there is a bigger picture here, and that picture involves handing Democrats the House and Senate in the midterm elections due to the kind of divisiveness that shifts voters to voting blue in November.

One might say that these pundits and politicians are just speaking their minds and voting based on their conscience. However, this is not a level playing field when one party always supports the party line, while the others’ “honesty” and “integrity” will cost them congressional representation. Do these individuals really want Democrats to take Congress in November?

Finally, there is what appears to be Republican incompetence. How many more social media posts do we need to view that state that there is strong evidence against Ilhan Omar over her “Frauding America” program? How many social media posts claim strong evidence against Walz (fraud in Minnesota), Obama (Steele Dossier), Biden (bribes from foreign governments), Hillary Clinton (you name it, she did it), Letitia James (mortgage fraud) and so many others, which appear to be legal slam dunks and jail time for these individuals, yet there are ZERO prosecutions!  

There are numerous issues that put Republicans at odds with one another and with President Trump. However, the one area of agreement should be that no one wants to see a blue wave in November that results in Democrats regaining control of Congress, and if Republicans don’t get their act together, this is a very real possibility.
