Arnon Mishkin, the Fox polling analyst, mentioned “Slow and Steady” as a slogan last summer after Biden’s success in passing nearly all his legislative agenda.
“Slow and Steady” isn’t catchy, I complained.
With polls dancing in his head, Mishkin said the numbers showed voters wanted the opposite of the chaos, midnight tweets, and juvenile name calling common throughout the Trump presidency.
Keep it simple.

The Daily Beast: Peter Beinart: Brown University's Campus Leftists vs. Free Speech

The Daily Beast: Opinion: Peter Beinart: Brown University’s Campus Leftists vs. Free Speech
I hate the term ‘campus Liberals’ to refer to people are supposed to be Liberals even though they aren’t and sound more like Fidel Castro or Hugo Chavez supporting and admiring Neo-Communists, that they do Liberals. I’ll get to what I mean by that later, because you simply can’t be a Liberal…

Trump Republicans in the 117th Congress felt that embracing Trump and spewing his lies would help them get re-elected. Now they are finding out that the opposite is closer to the truth.
GOP senators and House members say they don’t believe the nonsense they spew in fundraising emails, on right-wing radio and at campaign rallies.
They see all the lies and distortions as political hardball, the price of admission to Trump-era politics. The false claims are cynical tools for winning power by stirring up populist anger in today’s right-wing voters.
The latest examples are the lies reverberating around the conservative echo chamber about how a boost in funding for the Internal Revenue Service will lead to armed federal agents attacking Americans.
That kind of distortion fires up media ratings and juices fundraising totals.
But the charade is also the reason the GOP is squandering its chance for a wave election and control of Congress.
Of course the GOP Supreme Court’s attempt to ban abortion is not exactly helping them either. In the past few decades, being anti-abortion has been a major part of Republican identity. That makes it difficult for the GOP to run away from the deeply unpopular Dobbs v. Jackson Women’s Health Organization ruling.
Since the ruling, the GOP’s lead in national polls on generic preference for control of Congress has been wiped out.
Last week, the U.S. House editor of the non-partisan Cook Political Report, Dave Wasserman, said on Twitter that it is no longer “out of the question” that Democrats might hold their majority in the House.
In the Senate, the GOP’s expectations are similarly dimming.

In addition, President Biden last week called attention to Trump followers whom he branded as “semi-fascist.”
The old axiom in politics is that voters start paying attention to elections around Labor Day.
If that’s true, Republicans enter the homestretch of the 2022 midterms suddenly facing headwinds.
The choice in the midterms is between the Democratic Party and the Semi-Fascist Trump Republican Party.
Are you all set with your voter registration? If you have moved since the last time you voted you need to register at your new address – even if it’s just two doors away.
This is going to be a turnout election. If we don’t turn out, we lose.

“What's making Kate's photoshop gate a bigger deal than it should be is because they've always been presented as the future of the monarchy. When King Juan Carlos and Queen Sofia did it in 2005, it was funny and it launched a bunch of memes but considering their age (and presumably their staff's age) and how new photoshop was at the time, it was more like a whoopsie. Technology has improved so much since then. Right or wrong, it makes them and their whole staff look so incompetent. Is their communication and PR team on vacation? Do they not have quality control? This blunder makes me nervous about how they will deal with more serious issues in the future.” - Submitted by Anonymous
