What is the host’s optimistic outlook for the upcoming midterm elections?
Hello, it's Miranda. I'm back with the new mini episode of Podforce One. This feature is a little more topical and relevant to my job as a columnist for the New York Post. Today the topic is an optimistic take on the midterm elections as America turns its attention to politics after Labor Day. When we return to work after the Labor Day weekend, the hope is that America will start paying attention to the stark choice offered at the midterm elections in November. There are just Two months left until voters decide whether the Trump administration can continue the free enterprise agenda that is sparking an economic boom and keep reversing the woke cultural insanity that ruined so many lives, or whether the big government socialists who call themselves Democrats these days will cripple all that progress and mire the country in another round of debilitating impeachment politics.
Kicks. While historical precedent and the pundit class predict a blue wave or even a tsunami will annihilate the Trump agenda, a cashed up Donald Trump and his formidable administration officials are planning to put up a fight that Democrats are in no position to match if reality means anything. The battle lines could not be clearer.
How will the GOP’s first midterm convention in Dallas showcase Trump’s agenda?
Democrats last week voted against a resolution in the House condemning socialism, playing beautifully into Newt Gingrich's framing of the election as a choice between big government socialism and weird values, or a Republican Party focused on creating a better future for every American. End quote. By contrast, The GOP's first midterm convention in Dallas this week will attempt to showcase the successes of the first half of the second Trump term that thus far have been muted by successful media naysaying, clumsy messaging, and a president distracted by war. We will soon tell from Trump's two bookend speeches in Dallas whether he is in the mood to stay on message. He ought to be motivated by the fact that the midterms will be a referendum on his presidency at a time when his improval ratings are in the toilet.
Meanwhile, Democrats are assisting greatly by shooting themselves in the feet with weird policies and even weirder candidates. Whether it's rejecting voter ID, abolishing prisons, defunding police, or allowing men to play in women's sports, they seem to be on the wrong side of popular opinion on just about everything. All they have on their side is Trump derangement and the increasingly implausible ruse that they present a quote return to normalcy. We heard that about Joe Biden, and his presidency was the opposite of normal.
Why does the host argue that Democratic policies are out of step with voters?
No doubt Dems and their street militias are planning the sort of colour revolution chaos that worked so well for them in twenty twenty's Summer of Love. Then Biden offered the illusion of relief from the chaos he falsely blamed on Trump. But Americans are unlikely to be fooled twice. Islamo leftists Zoran Mamdani and Abdul El Saed, the Michigan Senate candidate, and their campaign buddy. The odious dog torturing Twitch streamer Hassan Piker are symbolic of the off putting anti American weirdness that has gripped the Democrat Party. Memdani and Al Saed have been both trolling nine eleven families on the eve of the twenty fifth anniversary this week of Al Qaeda's terrorist attack. Both having previously downplayed the atrocity as just 3,000 people died, and less sad than foreign lives lost in the subsequent war on terror.
Not content with downplaying the attack, Mamdani insists on turning up at the Ground Zero commemorations on Friday, even though 911 families and the Port Authority's retired cops have told him to stay away. And on Friday he went one step further during a signing ceremony of executive orders related to 9-11 commemorations when he virtually spat in the faces of the dead. After signing the papers he handed the honorary pen to Ramsay Cassim, his chief counsel and the lawyer who represented an al Qaeda linked terrorist.
What controversy surrounds the 9/11‑related actions of Democratic candidates?
His grotesque flex was even worse because he made it clearly uncomfortable in YPD Police Commissioner Jessica Tisch passed the pen to Cassem.
