Look for a tsunami of Republican wins on Election Day 2022
While there are 435 House races, 35 Senate races and 36 governors’ races on Election Day 2022, some of the races are worth watching more closely than others.

Crime is becoming a leading issue for voters in midterms
After news of nine mass shootings over the Halloween weekend and the brutal attack on Speaker Nancy Pelosi’s husband, a new Gallup poll says crime is gaining ground as one of the key issues important to Americans at the polls.

Equality Act protecting transgenderism a government overreach
Having already advanced through the U.S. House of Representatives in 2021, the Equality Act would ban discrimination against people based on sexual orientation and gender identity. With broad support among Democrats, many Republicans oppose the bill, fearing it will infringe on their religious freedom. Whether it passes through the Senate might very well be determined…

The threat of Putin, Russia using nuclear weapons is very real
The irony of the Ukraine war is that the United States — by investing heavily in Ukraine’s success and Russia’s defeat — may be increasing the risks that President Putin will be so threatened with failure, he’ll unleash nuclear weapons. If Putin were to decide to use nukes, despite President’s Biden’s warning of “catastrophic consequences,”…

Democrats’ plan to fight inflation will only hurt America

The Fed has already announced plans to hike interest rates by 75 basis points, the third consecutive such increase.

Queen Elizabeth’s death marks a time of change and continuity

Biden’s betrayal one year after US troops pulled from Afghanistan

Biden’s student loan forgiveness plan is a big mistake
Getty Images In late August, President Biden unveiled a plan to forgive up to $20,000 in student loan debt for individuals who received a Pell Grant in college, as long as they earn less than $125,000 a year (or $250K for married couples).

Democrats’ overconfidence will lead to Republican wins in midterms
Led by President Biden’s highest approval ratings of the year, reports of Democrats closing the gap on Republicans ahead of the November midterms are widespread. While Democrats are polling better now than they have all year in Blue states, if the 2020 election is any indication, polling accuracy can be an issue. Straight Arrow News…

But the president’s fortunes may be turning thanks to recent legislative victories like the Inflation Reduction Act. Straight Arrow News contributor…

Americans should try a taste of the sacred European summer vacation

Straight Arrow News contributor Newt Gingrich…

Ukrainians developing capacity to counterattack
The war in Ukraine has not gone the way Russia intended. One U.S. official now pegs Russian casualties somewhere between 700,000 to 800,000 and the U.S. recently announced another $1 billion in military aid.
