So big news. A Republican has flipped a House seat in the deep blue South Texas. That's scary to Dems who thought the only seat flipping would be in a gender-neutral bathroom.

Is this an indicator of a coming red wave? Maybe. And it's got nothing to do with a tampon shortage. It's absolutely terrible. I don't stand for that kind of humor. But let's ask the folks at "The View," which no one has ever said in the history of the universe, is there a red wave coming?

THE VIEW HOST:The red wave is coming. Republicans are going to win the midterms short of something unforeseen that I cannot predict now.

You know what I love about "The View?" It reminds people every day not to eat lead paint chips. But you got to remember, Joy Behar thought that her going on a sex strike would make men change their minds. And they did to vote Republican.

GREG GUTFELD: WHY IS EVERYTHING SO BAD RIGHT NOW?

Look at Republican Mayra Flores. She won that seat in South Texas, the first win there in 150 years. That's a long time. Thats like two Julie Banderas, or a half a Joe Biden. She flipped an 84% Hispanic district red. And I bet it's because the liberal policies from Washington are tearing our community apart.

MAYRA FLORES CAMPAIGN ADVERTISEMENT:Liberal policies from Washington are tearing our community apart. As a wife of a Border Patrol agent, I pray for his safety now more than ever. We must secure our borders and keep our families safe.

Well, she's not only smart, but attractive. Who does she remind me of in that regard? Flores seat was previously held by a Democrat who stepped down to become a lobbyist after realizing he'd lose in a red wave. So he took the easy way out, like when I hide behind Tyrus to avoid Kilmeade in the hallway.

And she's now the first congresswoman ever to be born in Mexico. So, I'm sure AOC must find this historic first pretty empowering.

And then you hear that Elon Musk voted for Flores, which prompted Democrat Congressman Jamaal Bowman to accuse Musk of supporting white supremacy. Yeah, that's logic. Vote for a woman of color who's born in Mexico. And that makes you racist. Jamal got any dumber you know, he could be on "The View."

Flores earned an endorsement from Governor Greg Abbott. And guess who's trailing him in the governor's race by 20 frickin points? Yes. Go to your screen. Go to your screen right now and scratch. Scratch. What does that smell like to you, viewers? Loser. We would have accepted Ax body spray. This guy couldn't win a coin toss if he got to call both sides.

Meanwhile, Biden's approval rating with Hispanic and Latino voters sits in the mid-twenties. That's the worst of any ethnic group. Geraldos mustache is more popular. And for good reason. Joe's embracing of hard left policies has abandoned decent people of every pigment in every race. They said he was a uniter, and now people of all races think that captain poo, poo pants sucks and it undermines everything racist Dems have been saying for years about changing demographics. They thought Mexicans would be dupes for their hard left tripe. How bigoted is that?

RACHEL MADDOW: A lot of other states are heading toward increasing diversification, toward demographic changes that mean a less red state future for them.

JOE SCARBOROUGH: I really think because of demographic changes in this country, I think that the Democratic Party is going to win Texas moving forward and the Democratic Party is going to be in power for the next 30, 40 years.

CNN GUEST: The Texans have had on this sort of long-term project of trying to take some red states across the Sunbelt and flip them blue as demographic changes are taking place there.

MSNBC GUEST: And the demographic change that's happening in America right now gives the upper hand to Democrats.

Wow it's almost like they are, dare I say it, white supremacists in their thinking. The assumption that every brown person will fall in line and vote for crap if they were bribed with free stuff. Dems are like saying, you know, sure they're pro-life and religious, but give them free dental and we'll own their asses. But they forgot that Hispanics aren't as progressive as the white liberal assumes. It's why you only hear clueless whites using the phrase Latinx.

PRESIDENT BIDEN:It's awful hard as well to get Latinx vaccinated as well. Why? They're worried that they'll be vaccinated and deported.

All right, Gramps. Fact is you don't have to do much. He really is a godsend.

Fact is, Mexicans are just like anybody else. They don't want to be victims of crime. That's why many left Mexico. They want to afford gas and food and drink water that doesn't double as a laxative.

But the left wants them to drop 100 grand on an electric car and then eat crickets. Also, unlike the left, they go to church. They believe in God. They're pro-life. They think family is a good thing. They're basically Eisenhower Republicans.

They understand the hierarchy of needs. See the little chart there that in life, stuff like food and family and energy that comes first. And that's a far cry from pronouns, statue toppling and insurrection porn. The least important thing in that chart -- self-actualization. We don't even know what that is.

But the Republican Party gets this that we're all united by common sense, a working knowledge of Home Depot, as well as the pleasures of a fine tequila. But the Dems, thanks to their delusional embrace of wokeism, have it backwards. Here's the left's hierarchy of needs. Call everyone racists, blame everything on America, oppression , never bathe.

Here's Joe's hierarchy of needs. Blame other people for failures, bail out Hunter, watch "Murder, She Wrote," find ice cream, nap. It's actually not bad. No wonder the Dems chase a pointless ****. That's because without structure, work or family, you end up with moronic platitudes. You will own nothing. But so what? You'll have 64 genders to choose from and the government will mail you a crack pipe. That's the Hunter plan.

Hell, the last time a Democrat made something, they became a Republican.

So who is Myra Flores? I'm sure by November, she'll be the new face of white supremacy.

"Fox & Friends Weekend" co-host Pete Hegseth joined "Outnumbered" Tuesday to discuss the subtle push from Democrats to persuade President Biden not to run for re-election. Hegseth said the "powers that be" in the Democratic Party realize Biden will not help the party's chances to win in 2024.

TOMI LAHREN: DEMOCRATS KNOW BIDEN WOULD LOSE TO TRUMP OR DESANTIS

PETE HEGSETH: I say every year that the Minnesota Vikings are going to be Super Bowl champs. I have to say that even though it's been over 50 years of futility. They have to at least until the midterms. This was headquarters, the New York Times, putting out an order that this guy ain't going to cut it in 2024. When you've got 50 Democratic strategists almost universally saying it can't be Joe, that is a reflection of the powers that be inside the Democratic establishment, saying if we want a shot at winning in 2024 - forget about 22, that's a foregone conclusion - it's not going to be Joe Biden.

The one hope Democrats might have is the Republican Party also didn't see Donald Trump coming in 2014. So doesn't mean the existing crop that's there would be their answer. But I think their instinct would be to go far left, which doesn't help them either.

Democratic candidates running for Oregons three open seats in the U.S. House will get extra help from a special Red to Blue program run by the Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee.

Oregon has just one solidly Republican congressional district and Democrats have an edge in all three of the targeted districts, which are the states new 6th District and the redrawn 4th and 5th districts.

However, as Democrats strategize how to hold onto control of the U.S. House, or at least minimize their losses, the Democratic Congressional Campaign Committees selection of the three Oregon candidates for its Red to Blue program shows the state plays a central role. Only 25 Democratic congressional candidates have so far been selected.

This slate of Democratic candidates Val Hoyle, Jamie McLeod-Skinner, and Andrea Salinas are proven champions for Oregon families and will fight for a strong economy, good-paying jobs, affordable health care, and a womans right to choose, committee spokesperson Johanna Warshaw wrote in a press release. The DCCC looks forward to working alongside them to help ensure their victory this November.

Hoyle, labor commissioner and a former longtime state lawmaker, is running for Oregons 4th U.S. House seat and will face Republican Alek Skarlatos, a former Army National Guard soldier who became widely known after he helped thwart a terrorist attack on a European train in 2015.

Skarlatos also ran for Congress in 2020 and lost to U.S. Rep. Peter DeFazio by around 25,000 votes. Democrats advantage grew in the new congressional lines that state lawmakers drew in 2021, and The Oregonian/OregonLive has described the 4th District as a safe Democratic seat. Still, Skarlatos is well-funded and well-known. He played himself in a movie based on the attempted terrorist attack and competed on the television show Dancing with the Stars. He is currently a senior fellow at the Freedom Foundation, which pays him to advocate for forestry management policies, according to its website.

The 6th District Democratic candidate, state Rep. Andrea Salinas, of Lake Oswego, is a former congressional staffer and state lobbyist who led House Democrats redistricting work last year. She won a closely watched primary in May in which outside groups, including at least one connected to a Bahamas-based cryptocurrency billionaire, spent more than $12 million to support political newcomer Carrick Flynn. If elected in November, Salinas would become the first Latina member of Congress from Oregon. According to The Oregonian/OregonLives analysis of the new district last year, it tilts in Democrats favor.

The most competitive new congressional district for Democrats is the 5th District, which is a virtual 50-50 tie in terms of how voters drawn into the district have sided in key Republican-Democratic match-ups since 2015, an analysis by The Oregonian/OregonLive shows.

In the 5th District, Democrat Jamie McLeod-Skinner defeated longtime U.S. Rep. Kurt Schrader in the May primary and will now face Republican Lori Chavez-DeRemer, who owns an anesthesiology business with her husband and is the former mayor of Happy Valley. Like Salinas, she would be the first Latina member of Congress from Oregon. McLeod-Skinner is an attorney whos worked as an emergency response coordinator and city planner.

National Republicans are also focused on Oregon and on Tuesday, the National Republican Congressional Committee selected Chavez-DeRemer as one of its Young Gun candidates, which the committee describes as a program to support candidates in competitive districts who have built a winning campaign infrastructure.

Our campaign won decisively in the primary because of our strong grassroots efforts, and we now head into the general election with tremendous momentum to bring commonsense solutions to D.C., " Chavez-DeRemer said in a press release.

News Analysis

What do recent news reports suggest about the political future of progressive Democrats this year, given that President Joe Bidens polling numbers continue to slide downward?

The latest Biden job approval numbers at RealClearPolitics, which averages the results of eight polling organizations through June 9,show that 39.4 percent of Americans approve of his job performance, while 54.9 percent disapprove.

Bidens approval numbers are at risk of going down as the daily average price of gasoline continues to rise (now above an average of $5 per gallon nationwide), not to mention the June 10 report from the Bureau of Labor Statistics that the May consumer price index (CPI) reflected a year-over-year increase of 8.6 percent, which exceeded most analysts expectations and wasup from 8.3 percent in April.

Perhaps even more important to progressives is the Biden administrations failure to enact their legislative priorities since they are the driving force behind Democrat policy initiatives, and passing progressive legislation into law is their raison dtre.

Progressives around the country are lamenting the failure of the Democrat-controlled federal government to deliver on issues important to them, as noted here by Democracy Now: Given that a majority Democratic Congress and sitting Democratic president have not delivered on campaign promises such as canceling student debt, protecting Roe v. Wade and passing Build Back Better, the party will be in jeopardy in the upcoming elections.

Will that depress the Democrat vote in November?

The presumption among many progressives would appear that delivering on these issues will somehow improve the election chances of congressional Democrats going into November. But is that really the case?

A recent Politico/Morning Consult poll conducted on June 45 shows that a plurality of voters are concerned with economic issues, including taxes, wages, jobs, unemployment, and spending, with no other issues coming close, as reported by Breitbart News (emphasis added).

Let us examine some other recent news reports and attempt to gain insight into the political future of progressive Democrats.

This has been a progressive Democrat slogan since the beginning of the Black Lives Matter-related street violence that ravaged predominantly Democrat-run cities after George Floyds death in May 2020.

Despite increasing damage to private and public property from the out-of-control riots at the time, Reps. Rashida Tlaib (D-Mich.) and Ayanna Pressley (D-Mass.) sponsored the BREATHE Act in July 2020, which would have slash[ed] federal funds to local police along with federal agencies, and spen[t] the money on social welfare, health care, education, and environmental programs.

With two years worth of defund the police sloganeering (see one list of Democrat supporters here), Democrats are associated with that issue in the publics conscience.

However, Just the News reported on June 10 that Democrat mayors and mayoral candidates now embracing comparatively pro-police and tough-on-crime policies and rhetoric, with the clear implication that the progressive Democrats defund the police campaign is a clear loser even in Democrat-run cities such as San Francisco, Los Angeles, Chicago, Portland, and Washington.

ARasmussen Reports national telephone poll and online survey shows that if the election were held today, 48% of Likely U.S. Voters would vote for the Republican candidate, while 39% would vote for the Democrat.

Note that the political leanings of both parties are not broken down into factions; for example, GOP establishment versus America First, or moderate versus progressive Democrat.

However, what is particularly interesting about this poll is that 26 percent of black voters and 39 percent of other minorities would vote Republican in the hypothetical election. These are core constituencies of the Democratic Party that traditionally support progressive Democrats and their policies, and the numbers represent a historical shift in their preferences. Consider that in the last midterm election in 2018, Democrats captured 90 percent of black and 69 percent of Hispanic voters, as reported by Pew Research here.

Democrats were shocked when a leading progressive Democrat district attorney was overwhelmingly recalled by San Francisco voters on June 8. Chesa Boudin, the son of left-wing radicals Kathy Boudin and David Gilbert, was elected in 2019 on a progressive platform.

According to NBC News: Boudin ran on a platform of ending mass incarceration, eliminating cash bail, creating a unit to review wrongful convictions and refusing to cooperate with Immigration and Customs Enforcement, or ICE, as well as prosecuting ICE agents who violate so-called sanctuary city laws.

After three years of car break-ins, public defecation, viral smash-and-grab robberies at major retail stores, and drug-related street crimes, crime victims and their advocates led the recall, which apparently resonated with average San Franciscans.

Boudin is one of several progressive Democrat district attorneys who are demonstrably weak on crime and facing the voters this year, with a recall effort targeting Los Angeles DA George Gascon gaining steam after Boudins recall.

Deputy District Attorney Jon Hatami (who preceded Boudin as San Franciscos DA)publicly warned Gascon on June 8: Youre next. The people of Los Angeles have had enough.

Bottom line: weak-on-crime policies of progressive Democrats are not popular even in Democrat-run cities.

All politics are local, as the old adage goes, and each political race is driven by personality and charisma, which sometimes trump ideology and the stance on issues. Here is a smattering of primary results that featured progressive Democrat candidates:

Primary elections are not indicators of who will win in November, as the Democrat primary choices were essentially between center-left Democrats and far-left progressives (there are no conservative Democrats). The contrast between the Democratic and Republican parties is particularly stark this election season, and the Generic Congressional Ballot leans heavily Republican at this point in time.

Will the progressive Democrats support for restrictions on the Second Amendment, multi-trillion dollar Build Back Better spending, abortion on demand, and (the fading) defund the police campaign overcome voters concerns about the economy, inflation, and federal spending?

A recent Nelson Research poll may be a harbinger: Republican Christine Drazan is just slightly ahead of progressive Democrat Tina Kotek in the governors race in deep blue Oregon. Republicans have not won an Oregon gubernatorial race in 40 years. That poll likely shocked the Democratic National Committee and the House Progressive Caucus (all Democrats).

Progressive Democrats and the 2022 Midterm Elections - The Epoch Times

HALLOWELL Daniel Shagoury of Hallowell won the Democratic primary nomination for House District 55,according to unofficial results reported by municipal clerks on Tuesday night.

Results showed that Shagoury received 522 votes while his opponent, Patrick Wynne, also of Hallowell, received 406.

Shagoury will go on to face Republican Phillip Wiseman, of Hallowell, in the general election in November. The district represents Hallowell, Manchester and West Gardiner.

Shagoury spent 19 years working for the Maine Legislature, with the last seven at the House Democratic Office. During his campaign, he cited this experience as an advantage that would allow him to get to work right away. In addition to nearly two decades with the Maine Legislature, Shagoury also served on the former Maine School Administrative District 16 board of directors for nine years.

Shagoury said in an interview Tuesday night that while he might be returning to familiar territory, its going to be a new adventure.

Even though I am familiar with the grounds there, its going to be different to be one of the elected (officials) instead of just a staff person, he said. Its going to be neat.

Shagoury said he was thrilled with news of his victory, adding that he worked very hard amid his campaign, and that his opponent worked very hard as well.

I havent really absorbed all of it yet, he said. Im just humbled by all the support that people showed me.
