Trump Manic, FLIPS OUT on Mike Pence in Hysterical Interview
Donald Trump railed against Mike Pence during an interview on the show “Outside the Beltway” on Real America’s Voice. The former president was asked about the possibility that Pence runs against him for president in 2024. Trump said, “well I’m very disappointed in Mike as a lot of people are. . . . all he had to do was send it back to the legislatures.” Of course, Pence didn’t have the authority to do what Trump wanted him to do on January 6, 2021. Even if he did, Pence was right to stand up to the political pressure he was facing, as caving would have meant the end of democracy in the United States. This divide about voter fraud in the American right persists and it’s a major issue for the GOP primaries, like in tonight’s gubernatorial race in Georgia. Pence endorsed and is actively campaigning for Georgia Governor Brian Kemp in his reelection and Trump doesn’t like Kemp since he refused to decertify his state’s 2020 presidential election results. Trump has endorsed David Perdue, who is expected to lose by a large margin in tonight’s match up. If indeed Perdue loses, it could be yet another sign that these bogus voter fraud claims are not doing Trump any favors.
Marjorie Taylor Greene Complains White Supremacists Being "Targeted"
Congresswoman Marjorie Taylor Greene complained that white supremacists are being targeted when it comes to the government’s response to mass shootings and domestic terror incidents. Greene was doing an interview from a car and complained that Congressman Jerry Nadler was talking about the recent Buffalo shooting but ignored previous instances of mass causality attacks that were committed by people of color. She said, “it’s not about race, it shouldn’t be about race. But they’re clearly racist as well. So white supremacy shouldn’t be the main target.” At this point, Marjorie isn’t even trying to hide who her core supporters are. A few months ago, Greene spoke at the white nationalist America First PAC and now she’s actively complaining about white supremacists who commit violence being “targeted” by the federal government.
From yesterday’s show:
SHOCK POLL: Dems Lead Republicans 47-42 in 2022 Poll
2022 midterm polling appears to be going in Democrats’ direction after months of anticipation that there would be a red wave in November. A new NPR/PBS/Marist national poll shows that Democrats are +5 overall for House of Representatives races. What appears to have turned the tide is the leaked opinion from the Supreme Court that Roe vs. Wade is expected to be overturned. A vast majority of Americans want to preserve abortion rights so it would make sense that this issue could drive the left to the polls and convince folks leaning right this election cycle to vote for Democrats instead. There is still a long time to go before the midterms and Republicans can certainly still win control of the House and Senate, but this is perhaps the most optimistic sign for the midterms yet.

Eric Trump Forces 4-Year-Old Son to Say Pledge of Allegiance Every Night
Eric Trump spoke at a conservative event over the weekend and he claimed that he makes his 4-year-old son say the pledge of allegiance every night before bed. Eric told the crowd at the Reawaken America Tour that he says three prayers with his son before bed. He then recently had the idea to add in the pledge of allegiance to the routine. “I go Luke, I’m going to teach you the pledge of allegiance tonight. And he goes, ‘oh Dad, I pledge allegiance to the flag of the United States of America.’ He does the whole thing and I go, you know in New York they would have taught him the Antifa code of destruction.” Eric went on to ramble about the left’s supposed war on the flag, the pledge of allegiance, and everything else conservatives claim they hold dear. These cultural symbols are always under attack by progressives as far as the right is concerned and it’s the go-to issue they bring up when they have nothing else to talk about.

When Trump announced (in 2020) that he would be shutting down mail systerm in order to stop Democrats from voting against him, this is one more example of his (half-baked) maniacal rants. By closing down the USPS, he was also closing down incoming votes FOR him. Both parties were voting, and his shutting down the process only served to lose his own (Republican) voters.
