Do not trust those coming for your guns
J. William Middendorf: “All political power comes from the barrel of a gun. The Communist Party must command all the guns; that way, no guns can ever be used to command the party.” The quote was from Mao Zedong, founder of Communist China. Mao’s first act after gaining complete control of China in 1949 was to take away all guns from the population. It was a policy he began in 1935 as he took over each rural province. Anyone found with a gun post-confiscation was executed. An estimated 65 million Chinese died as a result of Mao’s repeated, merciless attempts to create a new “soc... read more

Desperate Dems attack DeSantis
Red States: Democrats are so frightened of Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis as a possible 2024 candidate that they are constantly making up noise against him to try to blunt his chances. It never works, but they always come out looking desperate and silly. Add in a White House that constantly lies and knows that a lot of Americans would love to toss them out in 2024 for DeSantis (maybe even Elon Musk), and you have this latest story. The White House told multiple lies and the media amplified it, just like their scribes. Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis is now allowing healthcare providers — i... read more

When Democrats lose they claim democracy is at stake
Hot Air: Maybe these two should sit this one out. The most corrupt political couple in recent history is weighing in with messages meant to scare voters to the polls in November. Democrats face an epic shellacking in the November midterm elections. Lacking any productive ideas, the Clintons offer a doom and gloom scenario if Republicans manage to pull off the red wave that will surely come. There were two separate interviews. Bill Clinton was a guest on James Corden’s late-night television show while Hillary Clinton was interviewed over lunch by the Financial Times. The message ... read more

Tight Dem primary in new House district targeted by GOP
AP: A recount in Texas has affirmed Democrat Michelle Vallejo as her party's nominee for a new congressional district that Republicans are aggressively targeting this November as they demonstrate new strength with Hispanic voters along the U.S.-Mexico border. Vallejo defeated Ruben Ramirez by 35 votes, according to results of a recount announced Friday by the Texas Democratic Party. Ramirez had requested the recount after trailing by 20 votes in a May 24 runoff. The Associated Press had not previously called the race, pending the outcome of the recount.

Putin threatens former Soviet republics
Telegraph: Former Soviet countries are part of Russia’s domain and risk Ukraine’s fate if they go up against the Kremlin, Vladimir Putin has insinuated. The Russian president made the remarks while on stage with Kazakhstan’s leader, with experts interpreting them as a “clear threat” against the neighbouring country. His comments were in response to Kassym-Jomart Tokayev saying on live TV at an economic forum in St Petersburg on Friday that he did not recognise two pro-Russian rebel regions in the Donbas.

It’s not a question of ‘if’ Democrats will lose control of the House – and likely the Senate – but rather, by how many seats.
