MAGA Takeover In US Senate!

The 2026 midterm elections will produce a MAGA takeover in the U.S. Senate. That’s the prediction made here by Neil Johnson on his Lumberjack Logic show.

Johnson doesn’t project a monstrous change in the raw numbers. The Republicans now hold a 53-47 edge over the Democrats in the U.S. Senate.  Johnson believes the next Senate will again be at least 53-47, with the Republicans holding an outside chance to add a seat or two.  But even if the count remains 53-47, Republicans, and specifically MAGA Republicans, will be happier.

That’s because RINO turncoats like Mitch McConnell of Kentucky,  John Cornyn of Texas and Bill Cassidy of Louisiana will be gone — replaced by Senators who will openly support the agenda of President Donald Trump as well as the vast majority of party members.

So we will not see the same chicanery we’ve seen under the current Senate term, waffling on the SAVE America Act and sticking a dagger in the backs of Republicans. We most certainly will welcome this change, and pray nothing sidetracks it.

 

They’re Watching You: Now!

Has your street become Big Brother on steroids? What are Flock Safety and Amazon’s Ring? How do these systems provide daily, even hourly, records of your patterns of movement?

Most people think the surveillance state started after 9/11. It started in 1956. In this episode of America Hijacked, I pull the original FBI memos, the Senate transcripts, the patent filings, and the court records law enforcement tried to hide, and I show you how the same machine that watched Martin Luther King is now sitting on a pole 50 feet from your driveway.

We have the patent that says one thing and the website that says the opposite. We have the Texas court records. We have the 60 cameras broadcasting live to the open internet with no password. This is a 70-year paper trail. And by the end of it, you will not see your street the same way again. Here’s more from Seth Holehouse on Man In America.

SAVE Act On Life Support

This weekend, while corporate media chases shiny distractions, five huge Trump stories are breaking that actually matter to your life and to America’s future. First, there’s quiet but very good news on the SAVE America Act. After four Republicans betrayed voters on the first vote, a second vote flipped when Senator Susan Collins changed to “yes” following a conversation with Senator Mike Lee. That gives Trump 50 GOP votes plus VP J.D. Vance for a functional 51‑vote majority. The bill still needs 60 votes under the filibuster, but this proves that if the filibuster ever drops, Trump has the raw votes to ram through major election‑integrity reforms and big pieces of his agenda.

At the same time, the swamp is fighting back hard. A left‑wing federal judge just shredded one of Trump’s common‑sense immigration safeguards, blocking a policy that put green cards, work permits, and some asylum decisions on hold for people from 39 high‑risk countries after an Afghan migrant allegedly shot two National Guard troops. Trump based the pause on security data and taxpayer costs; the judge smeared it as “anti‑immigrant,” reopening the pipeline and putting foreign interests ahead of American workers.

Out in California, confidence in elections is taking another hit as late mail‑in ballot dumps erode Spencer Pratt’s lead and heavily favor far‑left Nithya Raman, while the establishment shrugs and says, “That’s just how mail‑ins work.” And overseas, Trump is walking a tightrope: nearly 100 days into his “Epic Fury” campaign on Iran, U.S. forces are still intercepting drones and missiles while Tehran blames America for “breaking” a ceasefire Iran keeps violating. Meanwhile, Zelensky has suddenly called for direct talks with Putin and a temporary ceasefire, trying to grab the world’s attention before Ukraine falls off Washington’s radar.

Taken together, these stories show exactly where we are: Trump is gaining leverage in the Senate, exposed by activist judges at home, undercut by sketchy election systems, and tested abroad—yet still fighting to put American citizens first. Here’s more from Stephen Gardner.

Rubio Smokes The Dumbocrats

The Dumbocrats got the tables turned on them in Congress by Secretary of State Marco Rubio. Rubio had appeared back-to-back before the Senate Appropriations Committee Wednesday morning and a House Appropriations subcommittee Wednesday afternoon in his first appearances since the Iranian War began.

Instead of asking him questions, the Democrats in attendance  — like Sen. Tammy Duckworth of Illinois and Rep. Sydney Kamlager-Dove of California — chose to grandstand. Kamlager-Dove even got up to leave when Rubio attempted to answer her.

Here, Rubio does a pretty good job underscoring the political games they were playing. Trish Regan covers the action.

Time Ending For Deep State

The [Deep State] is running out of time. President Donald Trump is dismantling the system and gaining leverage. Trump will finish the job and take control over the House and Senate with the patriots in place to finish the job.

Trump has placed temps into position because the people on the sidelines will be confirmed quickly.

Iran and [Deep State] are in trouble. Trump is just waiting them out. Trump is following the plan. Trust the plan. Here’s more from the X22 Report.

Platner Linked to Leftist Kingpin

Graham Platner has concrete ties with Morris Katz,  the leftist strategist who helped steer Zohran Mamdani into the mayoral office in New York City. The 27-year-old campaign strategist, a Skidmore College dropout, also previously advised John Fetterman’s Senate campaign in Pennsylvania as well as Dan Osborne, a so-called “independent” running in Nebraska.

Here, Liz Wheeler traces Katz’s rise as a leftist kingmaker, as well as his less-than-savory history as co-author of the book Everything You Always Wanted to Know About Puberty: And Shouldn’t be Googling: For Curious Boys. Wheeler considers it a prime example of “grooming.”

She also touches on the Brown University leftist Daniel Moraff, another key Platner advisor, with roots in the Democratic Socialists of America. Moraff also worked for Osborne as well as for U.S. Rep. Summer Lee,  the Pennsylvania Democrat who is perhaps the most anti-Israeli member of the U.S. House. In short, we’re not going to call either of them “groomers,” but they are without a doubt socialist trailer trash. Real scum.  Here’s more from Wheeler.

Graham Platner’s wife might say she stands by him, but the Democrats at large are quickly bailing and calling for an end to the adulterous candidate’s Senate race in Maine. Even the leftist idiots in the fake news at MS NOW are calling upon Democrats to dump Platner and replace him with someone more palatable to the public. They fear that leaving him in the race will tarnish the party as a whole in November and prompt a massive bloodbath.

No matter what happens to Platner, Republicans are going to come out ahead after this fiasco. Incumbent Susan Collins has to now be perceived as the likely Senate winner in Maine, and Republicans elsewhere will also perform better as the Democrats look hypocritical and weak, not to mention amoral. This is the dude who not only seeks partners beyond his wife, but also has a Nazi tattoo emblazoned on his chest. The only lingering question: How long before the Democrats make Platner walk the Swalwell plank? Here’s more from Langley Outdoor Academy.

Talarico: Not At All A Gay

James Talarico, the U.S. Senate candidate in Texas for the Democratic Party, can swear he’s not gay.  He’s got a girlfriend by the name of Brianna Menard.

Of course, he supposedly met her at a gay bar in Austin Texas called Cheer Up Charlies. Its slogan “Queer and Vegan.” The bar is host to regular drag shows targeting children. That must be why Talarico hung out there: He’s not into men but he most certainly likes trans kids. Here’s more from The Salty Cracker.

 

 

The Dam Breaks For Platner

Democrats are now talking about replacing Graham Platner, their Senate candidate in Maine, after the dam finally breaks on the malignant candidate. Platner originally raised howls when we learned he has a Nazi tattoo emblazoned across his chest.

Now, his wife has admitted he had been using the social media platform Kik to pick up women for sexual encounters. It’s apparent from reading his posts some of his “conquest” efforts were targeted at underage girls. In other words, this clown not only glorifies Adolf Hitler, but he also hustles teenagers.

Could the Democrats in the Swamp have stooped any lower? Don’t they have even the slightest standards? Has Trump derangement syndrome completely curled their judgments? Here’s more from Langley Outdoors Academy.

Texans Trounce Rino Cornyn

John Cornyn has held his Senate seat from Texas for the past 24 years, but the RINO ran into an absolute buzzsaw in Tuesday’s primary runoff. Texans overwhelmingly voted to end Cornyn’s Senate tenure and shift instead to Ken Paxton, the MAGA-beloved Attorney General who had received the endorsement of President Donald Trump.

Paxton not only routed Cornyn in rural areas, but also amassed impressive victories in most of the urban centers of Texas, although Cornyn held his own in Dallas, while getting shellacked in Houston. Paxton received more than 60 percent of the vote, with Cornyn only managing less than 40 percent. The Associated Press called Paxton as the winner of the race at 9 p.m. Eastern time.

Elsewhere, longtime Democratic incumbent U.S. Rep. Al Green, an outspoken foe of Trump, got his shorts cleaned by Christian Menefee. Also apparently losing: Democratic House candidate Maureen Galindo, who had shocked voters with her extremist, anti-Israel rhetoric. It looks as if Johnny Garcia will clip her in House District 35, facing off against Republican Carlos de la Cruz in November.

Here is Paxton’s acceptance speech, presented by the Associated Press.

Save Act: Trump’s Next Play?

Now that President Donald Trump has vanquished the rebellious Thomas Massie from the U.S. House, will Trump now move to aggressively push through the Save Act that has stood stagnant in the U.S. Senate? That’s one likely consequence from the Massey vote. Trump can now approach every Save Act holdout in the U.S. Senate, and warn them: Get behind the bill or he will send them packing!

And he’s got the evidence to show he can evict them. Not only Massey, but also the arrogant Louisiana Sen. Bill Cassidy, who had voted to impeach Trump, went down handily in defeat over the weekend.

So Thune, Lisa Murkowski or any other Senate reprobate can now make a do or die choose: Support legitimate American elections, or face the whip! Even Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer is now worried, as Doug in Exile underscores.
