LAURA INGRAHAM: This is not the first time Democrats have lied and smeared to get ahead – Fox News

Angle: Truth & Consequences

Laura Ingraham discusses how the radical Left is losing grip on its agenda as midterms approach on 'The Ingraham Angle.'

Laura Ingraham denounced Democrats for "desperately" clinging to power as their radical agenda unfolds Tuesday on "The Ingraham Angle."

LAURA INGRAHAM: The Democrats thought that they were being clever by nominating Biden in 2020, whom they sold to us and a lot of uneasy voters as kind of a familiar, grandfatherly figure a mainstream Democrat, not an extreme liberal. But all along, the Democrats knew that he was going to be too weak to resist the hard left, and thus he would be a perfect figurehead to preside over their radical agenda. But they don't seem so clever now, do they? It's all unraveling.

And as the midterms are closing in, they're reduced now to spouting unsubstantiated allegations and lame personal attacks to try desperately to hold on to power. But of course, this is not the first time Democrats have lied and smeared to get ahead.

Letter to the editor: Democrats have a long history of racism – Press Herald

Gov. Mills Big Government Education Department works to divide us (Sept. 23).

In a slideshow presentation by the departments Maine Opportunities for Online Sustained Education programtitled Racism is a Virus, the following terms are listed as phrases that should be associated with racism and white supremacy: MAGA, All Lives Matter, paternalism, meritocracy myth, colorblindness and Columbus Day.

Make America Great Again only contends that America has a right to sovereignty and its citizens should come first, which most countries in the world practice. The objections to the other terms listed also have no basis in fact.

The Democrats clear history of racism; Jim Crow laws; opposition to the Civil Rights Act of 1964, and the late Sen. Robert Byrds leadership position in the Ku Klux Klan are worth educating Maine students about.

Sen. Byrds funeral only happened about a decade ago and President Biden delivered the eulogy, with Hillary Clinton, Barack Obama and many other Democrats attending his funeral.

If the education department wants to educate, instead of indoctrinate, it should substitute Democrats because of their long history of racism.

Why Democrats’ illegal immigration views will haunt them in November – Fox News

NEWYou can now listen to Fox News articles!

Texas Republican Gov. Greg Abbott and former Democratic Congressman Beto ORourke faced off Friday, September 30 for a one hour televised debate in the Rio Grande Valleythe epicenter of Americas illegal immigration crisis under President Joe Biden.

It was no surprise that illegal immigration was the debates foremost topic. And the way the issue played out on the debate stage bodes ill for Democrats nationally.

Gov. Abbott touted his record in using state assetsboth the National Guard and state police in a combined effort known as Operation Lone Starto deal with the record numbers of people breaking U.S. immigration law by coming north, as well as the increasing flow of deadly drugs, such as fentanyl.

ORourke countered with the risible claim that the border chaos is Abbotts fault (though $4 billion in Texas taxpayer dollars has been spent under Abbott, the flow of illegal aliens keeps increasing). ORourke was harshly critical of Abbotts initiative to bus illegal immigrants to large self-proclaimed sanctuary cities across the nation such as New York, Chicago, and Washington, D.C.

Instead, ORourke said that people should be able to come to America to work, as well as to seek asylum. He even suggested that Texas have its own guest worker program.

In short, ORourke voiced an open border policy that the Biden administration has put into practice, while not actually admitting to the policy. ORourke even said that the chaos on the border wasnt Bidens faultit was Abbotts fault.

Abbott responded that ORourke was suggesting federal policy changesthings he might have voted on had he won the U.S. Senate race in 2018. Instead, Abbott maintained, it was the primary duty of a governor to do all he can to safeguard state residents against crime and illegal drugs caused by an open border while alleviating the strain on local communities by busing would-be migrants to larger cities better equipped to handle large numbers of people. Abbott also noted that Operation Lone Star had ceased enough fentanyl to kill millions of Texans.

Nationally, drug overdoses killed a record number of people last year107,000of whom the majority were killed by fentanyl poisoning. More people were killed last year by drugs than have died in all of Americas wars and military actions since World War II.

As ORourke was taking heat on an issue that polls clearly show is a weak spot for him, he countered by claiming that Abbotts hateful words on immigration will get people killed. He further claimed that Abbotts busing of illegal immigrants to Democratic-led sanctuary cities was the "kind of stunt we expect from Abbott."

Abbott responded by noting that El Paso, with a Democratic mayor and city council (ORourke was once a city councilman there) has sent more buses of migrants to other cities than has the state of Texas under Abbott.

The remainder of the debate focused on gun control and school safety (about 10 minutes), abortion (five minutes), defund the police and rising crime (four minutes), the power grid (five minutes), and closed on education and property taxes.

That the debate was dominated by the illegal immigration crisis unleashed by Pres. Bidens sudden reversal of former President Donald Trumps policies doesnt bode well for Democrats nationally.

ORourkes attempts to blame Abbott for Bidens immigration mess fell flat. Further, ORourke and the Democrats support open borderseven as they refuse to take responsibility for the consequences of their policies.

Voters are likely to render a harsh verdict on Bidens unsecured border this November.

Beto O’Rourke Is Making His Last Stand in Texas – POLITICO

It was the kind of gusher of hopefulness that ORourke at his boisterous rallies, in his prolific, small-dollar fundraising, trucking across Texas has met with ever since he burst into the national consciousness in his U.S. Senate run in 2018 and continued to inspire among Democrats in the early stages of his presidential campaign two years later.

But even here in Democratic-heavy Austin even to many of ORourkes supporters it is looking more and more like it may not add up to enough.

In other states, ever since the Supreme Courts overturning of Roe v. Wade in June, Democrats have been performing better than expected in the rejection of an anti-abortion rights ballot measure in Kansas and in special congressional elections in Nebraska, Minnesota and New York. President Joe Bidens public approval ratings have ticked up. But if the political winds of a post-Roe summer were lifting Democrats elsewhere, they do not appear to be blowing into Texas.

In a survey released in mid-September by The Dallas Morning News and the University of Texas at Tyler, ORourke was running 9 percentage points behind Abbott in the race for governor. A University of Texas/Texas Project poll put the margin at 5 points. A few days after the church service, ORourkes deficit registered in a Quinnipiac University poll at 7 points.

Those arent encouraging numbers for ORourke. And the top lines arent even the worst of it. In their lone debate, in an empty studio on Friday night, ORourke cast Abbott as extreme on abortion rights and as a failure on immigration and in his response to the school shooting in Uvalde in May. But when pollsters asked voters recently what mattered to them most, it was as though Texas hadnt changed at all. Immigration and border security not abortion or gun violence ranked first. And on immigration, Texans trusted Abbott over ORourke by double-digit margins.

Abbotts controversial busing of migrants out of state? A majority of Texas voters support it.

Near as we can tell, said James Henson, director of the Texas Politics Project at the University of Texas at Austin, the things that made the summer look good for Democrats and lead us to ask perhaps why isnt this race tighter theyve proven to be a little more ephemeral and not able to disrupt what is the basic pattern of politics in Texas.

The narrative in my mind is, we spent the summer talking about abortion, looking at the unending string of bad news and bad responses to Uvalde, and the difficulty that Abbott and his team had handling or not handling that, Henson said.

At least in the polling, it didnt appear to stick. What seemed like an apparent, potential shift in the issue agenda for the election, Henson said, seems to have not taken hold.

At the church, ORourke lingered until the line of photo-seekers was gone. And the morning after, on his 50th birthday, he rallied with supporters at the University of Texas at Austin. They wore T-shirts that said Beto for Texas or Beto for Yall, and four of them spelled out BETO in blue and white paint on their shirtless chests. They gave ORourke a cupcake and sang Happy Birthday. They stood in line to take photographs with him and to shake his hand, and they rang cowbells.

Yet if Texas Democrats adore ORourke as much as they did in 2018, the experience of his last two elections is now tempering their expectations.

Four years ago, when ORourke captivated Democrats with his Senate run against Ted Cruz, his near-miss represented the promise the states shifting demographics could have for the party, with a younger and more diverse electorate verging on turning the nations second-most populous state blue. But then came 2020. Donald Trump carried the state by nearly 6 percentage points while over-performing in the heavily Latino Rio Grande Valley. Democrats in Texas failed to make gains down ballot after picking up state house seats in 2018, while ORourkes presidential campaign imploded.

In government [class], we learn how to calculate if a candidate will win, Suly Ramirez-Hernandez, a student at the University of Texas at Austin rally, told me.

It was an imperfect kind of calculation, based in part on past performance. She said she hadnt done it for ORourke: Im scared it might not come back how I want it to.
