Mayra Flowers, Republican Rep.-Elect says Democrats should take her win in the special Texas congressional elections as a warning to Hispanic voters not to be taken for granted.

Flores won Tuesday’s race for a seat at the House near the nation’s southern Rio Grande Valley border. This makes her the first Mexican-born congresswoman since its inception a decade ago.
This district runs from San Antonio eastward to the southern border in Texas. The previous incumbent, Barack Obama, carried it by 22 points a decade ago. However, President Biden won it with only 4.2 points in 2020.

Flores was asked by Hidalgo and Cameron why they were so strongly in favor of Flores. Flores responded, “because I am one among them and I’m standing for our values.” Flores replied, “because I am one of them and I’m standing up for our values.”

Flores was at 50% and avoided a raceoff in a race that had four candidates. Flores was just eight points ahead of Dan Sanchez to finish the six-month term of former Democratic Rep. Filemon Vela. Vela resigned in March after accepting a job at a lobbying firm.

Flores’ win not only narrows the House Democrats’ already slim majority in the chamber by one seat, but it also gives Republicans more momentum going into November’s midterm election, when they seek to flip other Democratic-controlled Hispanic majority areas.

Flores is a respiratory therapist. She spoke about her experiences as the wife and mother to a U.S. Border Patrol agent.

Wednesday’s memo was released by the National Republican Congressional Committee. It’s the re-election arm of the House GOP.

This was one the three Texas border districts that NRCC wanted to make red. They also intend to make majority Hispanic Arizona, California districts in November.

According to the NRCC, Mayra’s victory proved that we have the blueprint for success in South Texas and will set Republicans up for greater success this November. ”

Flores and her Republican allies spent more than $1 million to run TV ads during this special election. This was a huge outlay for Sanchez.

Monica Robinson (spokesman for the DCCC) stated that the NRCC had shown that MAGA Republican candidates could barely make it to the finish line when they outspent the Democrat by 20:1. If only 7% turn out.

The Federal Reserve has lost its rose-colored glasses. The Federal Reserve is increasing interest rates faster than anticipated, but not as quickly as inflation. Do not expect the “soft landing” promise of the government. Inflation scares even the most sleepy politicians.

Janet Yellen is the U.S. Treasury’s inflation denier-in-chief. She admits that she was wrong to claim that inflation would soon pass. Since Inauguration Day 2021, the stock market has lost all its gains. Savers and retirees are being beaten down on the economic battlefield. They retreat to their bunker with any remaining savings. Young people are being hit in the face by rising rents in desirable markets. The 40-year-old high of inflation is alarming. Both the bond and stock markets are in serious trouble simultaneously, which is a rare occurrence. We can only hope that we don’t face a Black Swan. This is what economists refer to as calamities that don’t ever seem likely until they do.

Ludwig von Mises (the late Austrian School economist) summed it up well. There is no way to avoid the collapse of credit expansion’s boom. There are two options: the crisis can be triggered sooner by the voluntary ending of credit expansion or later as a result of the total collapse of the currency system.

Modern Monetary Theory (MMT) is the new euphemism to describe irresponsible credit expansion, and all its evils. This is the favorite program of the Left and its legion egghead economists. They claim that neither spending nor tax revenue (income) from the government matters. How you manage your money supply can help you manage to spend. It works like a charm!

If you can spend as much as you want and taxes don’t really matter, then why tax anyone? What purpose does taxes serve if revenues and expenses are not required to match? Are taxes there to penalize savers and workers? Perhaps they are there to punish workers and savers? Today’s Washington spendocrats are slowly destroying the bipartisan workfare philosophy that was pioneered decades ago by President Bill Clinton, and House Speaker Newt Gingrich.

Joe Biden was a great economist. He claimed that a) employment has increased since the CDC geniuses made everyone stay home. And spending is down from last year! Maybe because of the Democrat Senators. Kyrsten Sinema and Joe Manchin helped defeat the new Build Back Better stimulus spending of $3 to $5 trillion. The White House stated that the cost of the Build Back Better Agenda was $0 and added that it wouldn’t increase our national debt. Just think about the inflation rate if President Obama had allowed himself to spend more than he did in 2021. This proves that Joe Biden will take credit for anything positive, including the defeat of his own cockamamie scheme!

Biden’s argument sounds like saying that students are more likely to go to school after summer vacation, or that after purchasing two new cars last year, you’re an economic wizard for not buying another car this year.

Everybody knows someone who thinks this way. They lie to themselves. They’re like the hapless man who wonders why everything doesn’t work out for him. Instead of trying to solve the problem, Team Biden asks why the country isn’t succeeding. They know the answer so don’t be fooled by them.

Anyone who has been an adult for some time can easily predict the disastrous consequences of the Democrats’ spend-apalooza. They clamped down upon healthy productivity due to COVID-19 panic. We can also see what will happen over the next year. It’s going to be a long time.

It is important to note that I am not a credentialed expert. I just pay attention and have a basic knowledge of history. I can pick up on some patterns. I also read the words of actual experts. Take all of this together and you will see some of the direst conditions that are likely to be ours:

High prices aren’t going anywhere

No one should be surprised if the government puts 20% more GDP into the economy. Dollars don’t seem to buy as much. The currency flood doesn’t end overnight. Although the Federal Reserve has started the slow process of raising interest rates to tighten the market, the first two installments have not had an effect on slowing down the worst inflation rate since 1980. To bring down this inflation, the Fed will have to pump a lot more gas out of this balloon. The new base cost for food and fuel will remain until inflation is reduced to 2 or 3.

Oh, and the independent factors that make fuel so expensive aren’t going away as long as Democrats control anything. This means that everything else will continue to cost more to produce or deliver.

Increased Interest Rates

As we have discussed, the Fed will continue to raise interest rates in the future. This is to keep inflation under control. We saw a 0.25% rise in March and a 0.5% rise in May, so far this year. The Fed will announce the June hike Wednesday afternoon. It is widely expected that it will rise by a staggering 0.75%. Some even suggest a worst-case scenario where it goes up to a full point. I hope that you didn’t have any revolving credit.

Property Values

One immediate effect of higher rates is to lower the value of high-ticket properties that are usually purchased using a loan. This won’t affect anyone who has made large purchases. Unfortunately, people’s net worth is going to drop as their equity decreases. Anyone who plans on selling or renting out a property will see a 5%-10% decrease in the prices compared to last year.

The COVID-inspiring changes in work habits have left a lot of office space vacant, which has caused the commercial market to slump as well. Real estate is a huge sector, so its collapse will have ripple effects in other areas.

Global Recession

My inbox is flooded with the latest news from CEOs, banks, and investors about a global recession. You don’t have to be an economist to understand that recessions often follow periods of inflation. In April, I asked: How bad will the Biden Recession be? Since then, the conditions and opinions have only strengthened, landing in the recession column. In the first quarter of this year, the U.S. GDP fell by 1.5%. Companies have less money to spend on everything due to inflation, fuel prices, and interest rates. So strong growth is not likely to bring us back to positive territory.

Bear Market

No one likes to hear about inflation, interest rate rises, falling real estate values, or recession. The S&P 500 plunged nearly 4% Monday and continued to slide into Tuesday. Officially, the index is currently at 22.2% below its record-setting high earlier in the year.

Sinking markets are not just bad for Wall Street’s wealthy, but they also affect retirees, employees at devalued companies, and the government’s ability to collect taxes — as well as anyone who depends on income streams from any one of these sources.

Scarcity and Hunger

There isn’t enough baby formula or construction supplies. There are many reasons why this is happening. However, the above problems, along with the war in Eastern Europe, and the sanctions that right-thinking countries have piled on top of it, will only make matters worse.

Summary: I’m sorry to be such an optimist, but I don’t see much reason or optimism anywhere. Competent leadership and common sense are even rarer. As long as everyone wants green fantasies, ESG scores, and social Marxism, then we’ll all be in the pot. Make sure to stock up on the essentials.

Anyone who is objective will see that the Democrats use the Capitol Riot to distract from America’s economic problems.

This isn’t a subjective interpretation — they’ve admitted to this.

“When these hearings are over, voters will see just how irresponsibly coopted Republicans were in trying out to get the vote and just what lengths Republicans are willing to go to take to gain power,” stated Rep. Sean Patrick Maloney (D.N.Y.). Chairman of the DCCC.

The New York Times did not pretend that they had any selfish motive. They reported that Democrats were planning to use “made-for-television” moments and a carefully choreographed rolling out of revelations over six hearings…to convince voters that the upcoming midterm elections offer a chance for them to hold Republicans responsible.

Despite Democrats forming a clearly partisan committee against Trump, hearings have not been as scheduled

Some people even make fun of them.

Jonathan Turley, a liberal professor of law, tweeted that Pelosi’s decision “to destroy the long tradition balanced committees was an emblematic muscle play.”  “The Jan.6 Committee was stripped of all pretense.”

Turley wasn’t the only liberal to praise the Democrats for their sham J6 Commission. Professor Alan Dershowitz was a liberal professor who used an analogy during a Sean Spicer Newsmax appearance to explain how unethical the committee was.

He said, “I’m wearing my Boston Celtics jersey today.” ” “Not only to prepare for tonight’s great matchup but also because it was an analogy. The Celtics were kept off the court, so all we could see was one team scoring after another, missing a few jump-shots, and with no defense or rebounding.

It was a spot-on analogy of how Democrats have conducted these hearings. The committee was hand-picked by Pelosi, with the only Republicans being the anti-Trump Reps. Liz Cheney (R-Wyo.) and Adam Kinzinger (R-Ill.).

Dershowitz stated that it was not fair. “And even if you say it was one-sided, it was unethical. Why was it unethical? Take for example President Trump’s speech on January 6th. I opposed that speech. I didn’t think it was done well. I didn’t think he should have done it. But he said at the end of the speech he wanted people to show their voices patriotically and peacefully. They doctored the tape! They edited those words out.”

The Democrats have attempted to stop Trump since his first announcement of his candidacy. There have been two bogus impeachments and the J6 Committee. They hate Trump and will not stop.

At least some decent liberals are willing to call them out.

Over the past year, public school teachers have made it clear how much they care for your children. While many of them continue to say that they don’t, their flexible minds are certainly useful for socio-political purposes.

Red Liberty Media’s Natalie Carey went to California’s Pride Parade and started asking questions. One day, she met a group consisting of women who asked her if they were concerned that children were present at the parade. It was not surprising that the answer was so.

The woman said, “They are not my children.” “I don’t care a sh*t.”

She continued, “Why would you give a damn about someone else’s children?” “That’s not my job.”

She then added something that should make parents take notice.

She said, “As a teacher in school, I approve of this message.”

This should not surprise anyone. There are teachers who care deeply about their students and want to teach them basic knowledge and skills. But there are also teachers who see your child as a way to make a living and to brainwash others.

Teachers like these see your child as a tool and not a child. If they are concerned at all, their well-being should be a secondary concern.

As a result, the goal of the left has been to introduce “kink” to children. Recall that there is even a plan for a “sexy camp” for children, where they will be taught everything from prostitution to masturbation.

These women are running a “Sexy Summer Camp” for children in rural Kentucky, with lessons on “sex liberation,” “gender exploration,” “BDSM,” “being a sex worker,” “self-managed abortions,” and “sexual activity while using licit and illicit drugs.” pic.twitter.com/GRXXFLtkT2

People like these have infiltrated schools all over the country, and knowing who they are and where they are is invaluable. Knowing who you’re leaving your child in the hands of five days a week is imperative at this point, because they may be these women or the woman interviewed by Red Liberty Media in the video above.

Guard your children.

Ross Douthat, a New York Times opinion columnist, stated that the liberal media had misrepresented its message on the January 6th riot by downplaying the recent assassination attempt against Supreme Court Justice Brett Kavanaugh.
The columnist discussed how Americans feel that everyone is guilty of condoning violence against others, based on how left-wing violence was covered by the media.

He pointed out that suspect Nicholas Roske was not an isolated act of violence from left. He cited protests outside the homes of conservative Supreme Court Justices and alleged arsons against prolife pregnancy centers after the Supreme Court draft abortion opinion leak.

Douthat said that media coverage was “limited” to “perfunctory,” despite the seriousness of the incident, and its implications.

“Kavanaugh’s assassin did appear in this newspaper and The Washington Post. He said that neither the specific threat, which is a constitutionally significant one since an assassination could tip the balance of court’s favor, nor the general intimidation campaign have been considered big news.

Douthat noted that this story would have received “undoubtedly” extensive coverage from the media if right-leaning individuals had attempted to kill a liberal justice and threatened justices in their own homes.

The New York Times didn’t cover the assassination attempt. It was instead relegated the next day to page A20.

He also took to Twitter to criticize the media for yawning at Democrats who “slow-walk” a bill that would have protected Supreme Court justices.

Although President Biden did not condemn the attack against Justice Kavanaugh last week through a spokesperson for the White House, he did speak out publicly.

Douthat also stated that the media’s pre-existing ideological bias made it difficult for them to accurately cover the looting and rioting occurring during the George Floyd protests of 2020. There were 18 deaths and nearly $2 billion of property damage due to those riots.

He claimed that the media were complicit in encouraging radicalization by the left.

Despite the media hype, many Democrats and Republicans admit that the January 6 hearings won’t have any impact on the November midterm election. According to polls and political strategists, the economy is a major concern.

Due to low ticket sales, the Democrat National Committee (DNC), had to reschedule its Woman’s Leadership Forum fundraiser with Vice President Kamala Harir on May 25 and 26, according reports.

Status Coup News reported that the event was rescheduled for the autumn after it couldn’t sell enough tickets. “The invites were sent on May 5 and it was hyped up as an amazing opportunity to meet in person after two years’ worth of virtual events.”

According to the report, ticket prices range from $250 to $50,000.

DNC spokesperson Daniel Wessel claims Kamala Harris is a big draw for events, but does not provide a reason as to why the event was rescheduled.

Harris’s polling results are terrible. Harris’s polling results are worse than those of President Joe Biden. Only 28% approve of Harris and 62% disapprove. Biden’s approval rating, however, is only 33 percent. 56 percent of those who disapprove are disapproving.

Harris’s polling numbers may be due to the fact that Harris has failed the southern border. Biden assigned her this responsibility in March 2021.

Harris also has made many mistakes in the media. Harris’ communication errors include the June interview she gave to NBC News about her decision not to travel to the border. This may have given her some insight into the best ways to stop the invasion. Harris replied that she hadn’t yet been to Europe.

Lester Holt asked, “You haven’t been to the frontier?”

Harris laughed and said, “And I haven’t been to Europe.” Harris laughed. “I don’t discount the importance of the border.”

The vice president spoke in March about the “significance” of time passing during a speech she gave in Sunset, Louisiana. In 32 seconds, she mentioned “significance” of the passage four times.

Tuesday’s vote by the Wisconsin Association of School Boards [WASB] was to not renew its membership in the National School Boards Association [NSBA]. This follows a mass exodus of state school board groups after the controversy about angry parents being compared with domestic terrorists.

After voting to withdraw from NSBA activities and programs in November, the WASB made its decision. The group cited “ongoing concerns” regarding the NSBA leadership, governance structure, transparency, and transparency. The group also concluded that Wisconsin’s school boards are not effectively represented at the national level.

“The NSBA leadership’s actions last fall inflicted unnecessary damage on school board relationships and exacerbated partisan tensions,” the WASB stated. In a statement to its members, the WASB stated that the actions of the NSBA leadership caused more than half the country’s state school board associations to disengage from the NSBA.

The WASB stated that Dr. John Heim, the new executive director of the NSBA, is encouraging them.

After the Justice Department made the comparison between actions taken by parents at school board meetings and domestic terrorist acts last fall, dozens of states have followed suit. Nearly half of the country left the organization after the NSBA sent a letter to Biden.

Independent investigation was conducted by the NSBA to determine internal factors that led to this decision.

Independent review found that the letter was not extensively reviewed or approved by the organization. The finalized letter was also not made available to the entire NSBA Board of Directors and NSBA members until it was submitted.

According to an early draft of the letter that was released by the independent review, the National School Boards Association demanded the deployment of the Army National Guard as well as the military police to supervise school board meetings.

The draft of the NSBA letter stated, in contrast to the final, that “We ask for the Army National Guard to be deployed to certain schools districts and related events where students or school personnel have been subject to acts and threats to violence.”

The NSBA was criticised for sending a letter to the White House, and a resulting memo from Attorney General Merrick Galrland. Although the organization apologized, it didn’t stop the backlash from many states, who either distanced themselves or cut all ties with the organization.

Parents Defending Education reports that 30 states have distanced from the NSBA letter. These include Alabama, Arizona Arkansas, California Delaware, Florida and Georgia, Idaho, Illinois. Indiana, Kentucky, Louisiana. Mississippi, Missouri. Montana, New Hampshire. New Jersey. North Carolina. North Dakota. Ohio. Pennsylvania. South Carolina. Tennessee. Texas. Virginia. West Virginia. Wisconsin.

Since the outbreak of the pandemic, school board meetings have been a battleground between parents and school board members.

Parents across the country are protesting against coronavirus-induced mandates at schools and curriculums that are associated with critical race theories.

Although most school districts deny the idea that students are being taught CRT directly, some school districts point out elements of the academic school school of thought that have infiltrated the school system.

These disagreements have led parents from all over the country to run for office on their local school boards.

Members of the January 6th Committee were in conflict over whether criminal referrals should be made to Donald Trump or any other person.

Rep. Bennie Thompson was the committee chair. Rep. Liz Cheney, Rep. Adam Schiff, and others responded that there has not been a decision. The committee has postponed its next hearing due to this disorganization.

Although they have given an official reason for their decision, is it being bought by anyone?

JUST IN: House Jan. 6 committee says it is postponing its public hearing scheduled for Wednesday; the next hearing will take place on Thursday instead. https://t.co/M8gkdkqs7S

— NBC News (@NBCNews) June 14, 2022

In a Tuesday statement, the House committee that is investigating the Jan. 6 attack at the Capitol stated that it had postponed its public hearing which was originally scheduled for 10 a.m. ET Wednesday.

Instead, the next hearing will be held on Thursday. Rep. Zoe Lofgren (D-Calif.), a member of the panel, said Tuesday that the delay was due to technical issues resulting from an “overwhelming demand” for videos by staff.

I find it extremely suspicious that they delayed a long-planned hearing due to not having all of their videos. This doesn’t pass the smell test. These production elements are well planned out, so the committee wouldn’t be two days away from a hearing without all exhibits.

What’s the real reason for this? It is possible that Monday’s hearing was a complete failure and they are now trying to create more “shocking and awe” videos for the next one. This could explain why they rush to make more videos at the very last moment. What does that say about the evidence they claim they have? If they are unable to just show up and present it, how can they possibly be sure of what they actually have?

The possibility exists that the committee was tipped that the Dobbs decision which is currently promising to overturn Roe V. Wade will be released on Wednesday. There is no official word at this time, but the Supreme Court will release its decisions as soon as the term ends. This would be logical considering how publicity-hungry this committee is. They don’t want to be in conflict with angry mobs that react to the possibility that the “right” to abort is nuked.

Perhaps the infighting is just making it difficult for the members to agree on a single strategic plan. This is not an outlandish suggestion. Evidently, some members would like to refer criminal cases to the highest court while the chairman does not. This disagreement could impact how they play their cards at the next hearings.

However, things don’t seem to be going according to plan for Thompson, Cheney, and the rest. While they may be getting all the attention they desire from the media bubble, most Americans are much more concerned about the economy at the moment. The idea that Democrats are out of touch by pushing January 6th as the most important issue of our time only reinforces the notion that Democrats are hopelessly out of touch. They are, largely because of that.
