In the immediate wake of the midterm debacle, Vice President J.D.Vance SEEMS TO BE distancing himself from the Trump – Rubio – Hegseth core of the administration.
Smart and expected move, or a sign of wavering loyalty?
Here, Steve Green debates that question in a new Right Angle, joined by Scott Ott and Bill Whittle.
TAKE 1 (The first of three takes on the Republican midterms wipeout)
President Donald Trump and the MAGA movement took it on the chin Tuesday as the Republicans suffered major losses in the midterm elections. Trump came on like gangbusters with his tariffs and great economic progress of his second term.
But he squandered that opportunity by waging war on Israel, causing gas prices to spike. Republicans, as a consequence, suffered enormous losses in the American suburbs, while largely holding their ground in rural vicinities.
We’ll now have to deal with some truly repugnant and vile Democratic candidates in the U.S. House and Senate — characters like sex fiend James Talerico of Texas and the Muslim scourge Abdul El-Sayed of Michigan. Will give us plenty of opportunities to rant over the next two years, but what an abject disgrace and what a sad end to Trump’s legacy. Let’s hope he got his veto pen ready!

As the 2026 midterm elections approach, the political landscape is more complicated than the polls suggest.
Democrats are counting on President Donald Trump’s approval ratings to deliver a major victory. But historical trends, economic uncertainty, voter turnout and the changing makeup of their party could all shape the outcome.

A blockbuster U.S. jobs report showing 162,000 jobs created is contrasted with Canada’s 40,000 job loss under Mark Carney. Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent tells Steve Bannon that Wall Street and major outlets like the Financial Times and The Wall Street Journal stoke economic panic and spread “fake news.” Bessent cites a misframed story about Norway’s sovereign wealth fund shifting from Treasuries into higher-yield Fannie and Freddie securities.
The episode frames today’s challenge exiting from a “Red Queen economy.” America must grow productivity fast enough to outrun debt, China’s advances, and infrastructure and skills obsolescence, all while coping with Biden-era inflation and spending. This spotlights the Trump administration workforce initiatives, including expanded training and Pell Grant use and the new Foundry School—an advanced manufacturing program with a Stanford curriculum and international PAX Silica partners.
Finally, it covers President Donald Trump’s executive orders aiding ranchers’ beef processing and the Department of Justice antitrust scrutiny of major meatpackers and retailers. Here’s more from Promethean Updates.
The Democrats are making a pitch to younger voters in Gen Z, playing off their fears of inflationary spikes in the prices of rents, gasoline and staples.
Will these Gen Z nubes see through the ruse, or will they fall for the same slop as the usual leftist voters? Is this a bot army? Here’s more from the Liberal Hivemind.
