Republicans are looking to make several Red States even redder in 2022.

Three Democrat-held strongholds in Texas are in danger of turning to Republicans.

Two of the seats are held by U.S. Reps. Henry Cuellar of Laredo and Vicente Gonzalez of McAllen. The third one was vacated by Filemon Vela of Brownsville.

Fending off the Republican advance in South Texas this fall was already going to be a taller-than-usual order for Democrats. But few Democrats anticipated it would be this hard.

Thanks to a succession of self-inflicted choices, fallout from redistricting and some flat bizarre circumstances, Democrats are confronting a mind-numbing set of complications in their fight to hold on to three seats in South Texas. And national polling indicates Democrats have no room for error if they want to hold off a Republican challenge in a region that was once a historical Democratic stronghold.

…

“For Democrats, there may simply be too many fires to put out at once,” national political analyst David Wasserman, of the Cook Political Report, said to The Texas Tribune.

Texas is not the only place Democrats will have a  problem with in 2022.

Recent polling shows Republicans leading the generic congressional ballot by 8 points. This means the red wave will be felt by Democrats all across the country — unless they steal it.

From Rasmussen:

The 2020 midterm elections are now 207 days away, and Republicans have an 8-point lead in their bid to recapture control of Congress.

The latest Rasmussen Reports national telephone and online survey finds that, if the elections for Congress were held today, 47% of Likely U.S. Voters would vote for the Republican candidate, while 39% would vote for the Democrat. Just five percent (5%) would vote for some other candidate, but another nine percent (9%) are not sure.

How bad will the midterms be for Democrats?

The Gateway Pundit reported in January information that shows Wisconsin Assembly Speaker Robin Vos was more intimately involved in the creation of ballot drop boxes than was previously known. These drop boxes were part of the key to stealing the 2020 Election from President Trump and Vos was in on it.

TGP has reported on Wisconsin Speaker Robin Vos before and his ties to the 2020 Election steal in his state and the lack of effort he has taken to get to the bottom of what happened. He’s promised the moon but hasn’t even provided moon pies.

Vos has admitted to widespread fraud in the 2020 election in Wisconsin but says the assembly cannot decertify.

Vos is unpopular with grassroots groups in the state due to his efforts to excuse the fraud in the 2020 election.

Now there is evidence that Robin Vos is blocking conservative and liberal critics from his Facebook campaign page.

Madison.com reported:

Assembly Speaker Robin Vos, R-Rochester, has taken to blocking critics, including conservatives, on his official campaign Facebook page, a move that his office says is legal, citing guidance from the Legislature’s attorneys.

In 2019, a federal judge ruled against Vos and other Republicans in a lawsuit after they blocked a progressive group, One Wisconsin Now, from their official Twitter pages. In short: It is illegal for public officials on their public accounts to limit discourse by blocking others.

Vos’ office contends that it is legal to block members of the public from an official campaign’s social media pages, as an elected official’s office and his/her campaign are separate entities.

This is Biden’s military.  The commander of 1st Lieutenant Mark Bashaw, who is facing court-martial for standing up against COVID mandates, sent Bashaw a packing list before his trial.  

We reported on 1st Lieutenant Mark Bashaw’s case last week.  One of the creepy Vindman twins is the staff judge advocate in the case.  These twins were connected to the unconstitutional and treasonous coup against President Trump.  Now one of these goons is overseeing the case against a soldier standing for his rights.

BIDEN’S AMERICA: Creepy Vindman Twin Is the Staff Judge Advocate in the Court-Martial of 1st Lieutenant Mark Bashaw over COVID Mandates

This morning we can report that the 1st Lieutenant’s commanding officer sent Bashaw a packing list.  The list was not sent to Bashaw’s attorney.  The list was sent before any trial.  This is a very unprofessional act by a very corrupt military.

MWJRCF Packing List Updated 26 MAR 19 by Jim Hoft on Scribd

The Army Times reports:

1st Lt. Mark Bashaw’s arraignment is “pending” on three specifications of “failure to obey lawful orders,” said Becca Nappi, a spokesperson for the installation.

Although other troops have faced discipline for failing to follow COVID-19 protocols, Bashaw is the first case in the Army referred to a court-martial for such incidents, Army spokeswoman Col. Cathy Wilkinson confirmed in a statement to Army Times.

Bashaw is the former headquarters company commander for the Army Public Health Center, which oversees occupational and environmental health initiatives for the service.

He’s charged with refusing an order to telework and showing up to Aberdeen Proving Ground “after failing to submit a negative COVID-19 test or [submit]” to a test, Nappi said. The installation requires that unvaccinated personnel submit a negative test result before entering their worksites, according to its website.

…The Army announced Wednesday that it is beginning involuntary discharge procedures for the approximately 3,500 active-duty troops who have declined the vaccine. Another 3,600 currently have pending requests for medical or religious exemptions for the shot.

Sending the 1st Lieutenant packing list and not his attorneys was abusive and not exactly ‘innocent until proven guilty’.

The head of the Catholic church strikes again. This time Pope Francis accused the west of racism on Good Friday during an interview with Italian television.

During the interview, Italian-based reporter Lorena Bianchetti asked Pope Francis if there’s “prejudice toward those war victims who flee from other parts of the world” or will refugees be “subdivided into the category of being an annoyance.”

Here is Pope Francis’ response according to a transcript from the Vatican:

Pope Francis: “It is true. Refugees are subdivided. There’s first class, second class, skin colour, [if] they come from a developed country [or] one that is not developed. We are racists, we are racists. And this is bad. The problem of the refugees is a problem that Jesus suffered too, because he was a migrant and a refugee in Egypt when he was a child, to escape death.”

“How many of them are suffering to escape death! There is an image of the flight into Egypt that a Piedmont artist executed. He sent it to me and I made holy cards from it. It shows Joseph with the baby who are fleeing. But Saint Joseph does not have a beard, no. He is Syrian, from today, with a baby, who is fleeing the war today. An anguished face that these people have, just like Jesus, forced to flee. And Jesus went through all these things, he is still there,” he added.

“On the cross, there are people from the countries of Africa at war, of the Middle East at war, of Latin America at war, of Asia at war. Several years ago I said that we are living a third world war in pieces. But we have not learned. I – I am a minister of the Lord and a sinner, chosen by the Lord, but a sinner nevertheless – when I went to Redipuglia in 2014 for the commemoration of the centenary, I saw and I wept. All I could do was weep. All the young men, all the boys. Then one day, I went to the cemetery in Anzio, and I saw those young men who landed in Anzio. All young! And I wept there yet again. I am moved to tears before this. I think it was two years ago when there was the commemoration of the landing in Normandy,” he continued.

As The Gateway Pundit previously reported, Pope Francis spoke out last month about Russia’s “slaughters and atrocities” in Ukraine. He called the invasion an unjustified “senseless massacre” and encouraged leaders to stop “this repugnant war.”

The current Pope has been outspoken about many things.  He claimed, for example, that taxation was an important tool for socialists.

The Pope praised Joe Biden as a “Good Catholic” despite supporting abortion.  He ignores the Biden family’s corruption in doing so as well.  The Pope also is accused of being on the side of globalists and others pushing climate change and world depopulation.

According to a report from Breitbart, a memorandum circulating among the Catholic cardinals who will elect the next pope calls the Francis pontificate a “disaster” and a “catastrophe” while laying out essential tasks for the next successor to Saint Peter.

St. Louis University Campus (screengrab)

Since the fall semester began there have been six student deaths and one resident physician who have died at St. Louis University and Washington University in St. Louis.

At least four of the deaths were suicides. The rest have not been announced. One student was a swimmer, sailor and Eagle Scout from Kansas.

The universities are puzzled by the number of deaths this year.

The Riverfront Times reported:

Loss and grief have become commonplace on the campuses of two of St. Louis’ largest universities following numerous recent deaths, raising questions about the schools’ mental-health service programs.

Since classes began in the fall at Saint Louis University and Washington University, six students and a resident physician have died, four in the past two weeks. Of the seven deaths, four were suicides, while the cause of death in the other three cases have not been announced. (Both schools do not release cause of death information without consent from students’ families.)

An email to the SLU community from administrators on Friday mourned the suicide of undergraduate student Sean North.

North died on April 5, according to the email, shortly after emergency services transported him off campus. According to his obituary, North came to SLU from Leawood, Kansas, on a swimming scholarship, and was an avid sailor and an Eagle Scout.

“Right now, our focus is on wrapping his loved ones with support,” reads SLU’s email. “Know that we share this information so we can help each other heal. We cannot destigmatize death by suicide, ideation or mental-health needs more broadly if we cannot name them.”

Days before North’s death, a SLU graduate student died from undisclosed causes, the school’s president, Fred Pestello, announced in an April 6 email. And yesterday, Pestello and Vice President of Medical Affairs Christine Jacobs informed the SLU community of the passing of a resident physician, who died late Sunday evening. No further details were provided.

I asked three sharp Republican pollsters and political consultants: David Winston, Curt Anderson, and Dave Carney. The takeaway from all three is that it appears the majority coalition that elected Biden has fallen apart. And that is terrible news for both the president and his party.

“While there are a lot of groups that have become more disapproving of Biden’s job performance, Independents are at a remarkable level of disapproval,” Winston said in an email exchange. “In The Economist/YouGov survey (April 9-12), Independents disapproved by a 30-60 margin; the Politico/Morning Consult survey (April 8-11) was a similar 30-62; and the Quinnipiac survey (April 7-011) was 26-56. So among a group Biden won by 13 points in 2020, after Clinton lost them by four in 2016, his disapproval is 30 points or more higher than his approval. This means the majority coalition that elected him is now not in place. Regaining it will be difficult, given his current poor job approval performances on the economy and other issues.”

Carney and Anderson had different thoughts on whether Biden has hit the bottom, or nearly so, or can plunge further. “There is no limit or floor to a president’s approval rating, but historically, Nixon’s 24 percent in January 1974 seems like the practical floor for a modern-day president,” Carney said in another email exchange. “Biden has the potential to sink into the high 20s before the midterm elections, considering inflation will be raging by then.

Another day, another NFL player in trouble with the law.

Dallas Cowboys cornerback Kelvin Joseph is a person of interest in a murder investigation related to a drive-by shooting that took place outside of a bar in Dallas last month.

Joseph’s attorney Barry Sorrels said his client was a passenger inside the vehicle that fired into the group of men, however the NFL player did not shoot the gun.

According to WFAA, Kelvin Joseph’s name surfaced after Dallas PD released surveillance footage showing a brawl between two groups of men outside of a club on Greenville Avenue shortly before 2 am on March 18.

After the fight, a black SUV pulled up and a person inside the vehicle fired shots at the group of men.

20-year-old Cameron Ray was shot in the head and died.

Yahoo Sports reported:

Dallas Cowboys cornerback Kelvin Joseph is being sought as a “person of interest” in connection with a Dallas area homicide that occurred on March 18, sources have told Yahoo Sports.

The Dallas Police Department is seeking an interview with Joseph, after he appeared to be in surveillance footage near the scene of the shooting death of 20-year old Cameron Ray. Homicide investigators released multiple pieces of footage to Fox 4 News in Dallas earlier this week, asking viewers to identify any individuals they might recognize. The footage featured a group of men that appeared to include Joseph entering and standing inside a nightclub, as well as a fight that occurred with the same group outside the establishment. Shortly after that altercation, surveillance shows Ray and others walking to nearby cars, when a dark-colored SUV speeds by firing gunshots. Ray was struck and died later at a local hospital.

A source told Yahoo Sports the Cowboys became aware of Joseph being a person of interest in the investigation Thursday and have encouraged his cooperation with investigators. Cowboys security is also reviewing Joseph’s potential involvement in the altercation outside the nightclub and expect to be cooperating fully with investigators.

After the surveillance video was released by the Dallas Police Department, people recognized Kelvin Joseph’s gaudy necklace (screenshot below) with the letters “YKDV.”

WATCH:

In a message with a twofold purpose, India’s Defense Minister Rajnath Singh addressed the Indian-American community of San Francisco by both warning China and rebuking Biden’s attempt to influence their foreign policy.

In an implicit criticism of Biden’s handling of the conflict in Ukraine, Singh made clear the diplomatic stance of Prime Minister Modi. India, he explained, “does not believe in a diplomacy of a zero-sum game,” and will pursue friendly relations with any other nation bilaterally.

“If India has a good relationship with one country,” Singh explained, “it does not mean that its relationship with any other country will deteriorate.” 

In other words, India will continue treating Russia the same that it has always done and expects the Biden administration to back off on its attempts to pressure Modi’s regime to do otherwise.

U.S. officials have been highly critical of Modi’s decision to continue purchasing Russian oil at discount prices, and President Biden recently asked Modi not to accelerate purchases. After that call, White House officials indicated that they could not rely on India to “stand with them in fully condemning Putin.” Singh has confirmed their suspicions: India will not economically castrate itself to please Biden and his interventionist agenda. Instead, they will continue developing trade relations that benefit the Indian people regardless of how establishment figures in Washington feel.

Turning to China, Singh addressed the growing threat to India’s east, where clashes between Chinese and Indian troops have left soldiers dead on both sides.

“I cannot say openly what [Indian soldiers] did and what decisions we took. But I can definitely say that a message has gone to China that India will not spare anyone if India is harmed,” he said.

Since 2020, a standoff between the two BRICS members has been fraught with tension as both contest ownership of the Ladakh region. That year, two significant clashes left 20 Indian soldiers dead and an undisclosed number of Chinese troops. But, Singh has now implied that China received the worst of it.

Singh closed his address with a few remarks that should raise concern among Americans hoping for a better future. Highlighting and praising the unwillingness of San Francisco’s Indian population to assimilate, he congratulated them for “maintaining this complete Indian identity.”

“This is not a small thing. People lose their cultural identity when they stay at some place for a long time,” he said.
