Trump’s midterm plan Why The Donald campaigns against the Michigan candidate in Ohio

This should be an easy year for Democrats. History says the opposition party wins the midterms. In the past century, there were only three exceptions: 1934, 1998 and 2002. FDR was a popular president while both Clinton and Bush 43 enjoyed 63% approval in the polls.

Trump is very unpopular.

Trump hosts Xi. DC implodes

Mosher wrote, “China’s initiative to replace the dollar as the world’s reserve currency is failing. Xi himself was basically sidelined at this month’s BRICS summit in India; he skipped the obligatory banquet and left a day early. Media apologists claimed he was tired, but it’s more likely that he was just tired of being ignored.

“Now, just two weeks later, the American president’s impressive show of hospitality—giving him face, as it’s known in Chinese culture—not only massages Xi’s ego, it also provides useful propaganda fodder for his captive audience back in China.

“And it costs America nothing.

Highlights of the Week with Don Surber

Don Surber walks us through this week’s media roundup with his uniquely sarcastic perspective. He’ll make you think; he’ll make you laugh; and he’s far better at cutting to the heart of the matter than the legacy media.

ITEM 1: I thought I found where Alissa Heinerscheid, former VP of Marketing for Bud Light, works now.

But Grok said she went to work for PGA rival LIV Golf, which is battling for survival in bankruptcy court.

Hey, DNC, have I got the right person for you.

Paying UK back: Why Trump sings ‘Give Ireland Back to the Irish.’

Nigel Farage said Trump’s comments were not helpful. They were not meant to be.

You know what was really unhelpful? Refusal to let the U.S. use its bases on British soil for the opening offensive strikes against Iran. This included B-2s based at Diego Garcia as the British tried to veto the war.

The politicians may be against Trump, but the Irish love him.

Trump Calls Fed Rate Hike ‘Unfortunate,’ Demands a Cut

President Donald Trump says the Fed was wrong to raise interest rates by a quarter percentage point. In a Truth Social post, Trump said that US rates “should be 1%, or less.” Chris Phelan, White House Council of Economic Advisers chairman, agrees and says anyway you measure it – inflation is coming down. He is on “Balance of Power.”

Trump Floats $5,000 Payout Promise If GOP Wins Midterms

US President Donald Trump offered voters a quid pro quo: elect Republicans and get a $5,000 payout, which he called the “Trump dividend.” The proposal, announced during a speech on Wednesday at the GOP’s midterm convention in Dallas, is unlikely to become law. Fellow Republicans have already rejected similar ideas and Congress would need to approve a cash payment program with a price tag well over $1 trillion. Bloomberg’s Balazs Penz breaks down the situation.

Trump succeeded where FDR failed

Hey media: Don’t dish it out if you can’t take it. Somehow they can fact-check Trump but the First Amendment protects them from being fact-checked.

Kristen Welker of Meet the Press said of Trump on NBC 4 in DC, “He’s going to loom large over these midterms. There’s no doubt about that. He, of course, has endorsed a slate of candidates in the primaries. He’s had some mixed results, but most recently, his pick of Senator Darline Graham, of course, the sister of the late Senator Lindsey Graham, was successful in her primary battle, so now she takes on Dr. Annie Andrews in South Carolina.”

The results are not mixed. He endorsed 260 candidates who went on to win Republican primaries and only 9 losers. That’s a .967 batting average rounded off to 97%.

A Few Honest Thoughts About President Trump

I want to make something clear about my support for President Donald Trump. Supporting many of his policies does not mean I approve of his personality, every word that comes out of his mouth, or every person he chooses to place around him. I do not believe Christians are called to surrender their judgment to a political party, and I certainly do not believe we are supposed to turn any president into an object of devotion.
