Republican Mayra Flores prevailed Tuesday in a special election for an open congressional seat in South Texas, marking a major breakthrough for Republicans eager to blaze new inroads in the historically blue region.
She beat Dan Sanchez, the leading Democrat, outright in the closely watched race and will be the first Mexican-born congresswoman. She will get to serve only until January, but Republicans heralded her win as a shot of momentum in their new South Texas offensive.
Well everyone knows that the Democratic brand has been tarnished and continues to be tarnished everyday they waste time on Donald Trump, Jan 6th, or other petty issues rather than focus on what people deem important. In this case, the GOP candidates got over 52.5% of the votes vs 47.5% of the vote for the two Democrats in a district that has been consistently Democrat.
The RCP house predictions show this seat as a "toss up". If this is an indication, they could be sweeping the "toss up" races and even look to push into the "leans Democrat" area.

The 2022 Midterms Won’t Predict 2024
June 15, 2022 at 11:00 am EDT By Taegan Goddard Leave a Comment
Mark Mellman:
“In the eight worst midterms for the party in control of White House since 1938, the party holding executive power lost between 45 and 81 House seats.
"Two years later, that same party won reelection to the White House in more than half — five of the eight — cases.
“The three worst midterm performances occurred in 1938, 2010, and 1994. Two years later, each of the Democratic presidents who presided over those debacles won reelection.”
I don't think that Biden will run again, because his own party and most Democrats like me want someone else who is a moderate liberal and my favorite is the woman Senator from Minnesota.
Especially if the Republican Party nominee is a Trump loyalists
Omg 😲
Treason???
The Jan 6 committee released footage of GOP Rep. Barry Loudermilk leading a Capitol complex tour the day before the attack.
One person on the tour returned to the Capitol grounds the next day, making threats against several lawmakers.
"When I get done with you, you're going to need a shine on top of that bald head," the man said of Pelosi.
The January 6 committee released video footage on Wednesday showing Republican Rep. Barry Loudermilk of Georgia leading a tour of the Capitol complex on January 5, 2021, the day before a mob of former President Donald Trump's supporters swarmed the building.
One of the individuals on the tour returned the following day, and can be heard in the released video making threats against several Democratic lawmakers including now-Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer, House Speaker Nancy Pelosi, House Judiciary Committee Chairman Jerry Nadler and Democratic Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez of New York.
"They got it surrounded. It's all the way up there on the hill, and it's all the way around, and they're coming in, coming in like white on rice for Pelosi, Nadler, even you, AOC," the man says in the video released by the committee. "We're coming to take you out and pull you out by your hairs."
The footage also shows a man with a flagpole "appearing to have a sharpened end," according to the committee. "That's for somebody special, somebody special," the man says.
The video also shows photos taken by members of the tour, including a photo of Nadler's office plaque.
"When I get done with you, you're going to need a shine on top of that bald head," the rally attendee also says, referring to Pelosi.
The committee's video also shows a member on the tour group took photos of lawmaker's headshots and of Nadler's office.
The committee had previously asked the Georgia Republican to speak with the committee about the tour, but had been rebuffed.
In the days after the January 6 attack, Democratic Rep. Mikie Sherrill of New Jersey and over 30 of her colleagues sent a letter to Capitol Police asking for an investigation into "suspicious behavior and access given to visitors" on January 5. The congresswoman cited a seeming resemblance between the visitors and the rioters who attacked the complex the following day.
But Republicans on the Committee on House Administration later said they had reviewed security camera footage covering the Capitol complex in the days before the attack, and denied that there had been any tours.
"There were no tours, no large groups, no one with MAGA hats on," a Republican aide anonymously told The Hill in February. "There's nothing in there remotely fitting the depiction in Mikie Sherrill's letter."
But the video released by the committee shows a few members of the tour were in fact wearing MAGA hats, contradicting the aide's claim.

Keep LYING alky...
The Lie
The January 6 Committee lied when it “suggested” Rep. Barry Loudermilk (R-Ga.) brought J6 protestors on a “reconnaissance” tour of the Capitol on Jan. 5, and that the visitors were hoping to learn the layout of the Capitol in preparation for the mostly peaceful protest the following day.
The J6 Committee, chaired by Rep. Bennie Thompson (D-Miss.) and vice-chaired by Cheney, sent a letter to Loudermilk stating the following;
Based on our review of evidence in the Select Committee’s possession, we believe you have information regarding a tour you led through parts of the Capitol complex on January 5, 2021.
It continues,
The foregoing information raises questions to which the Select Committee must seek answers. Public reporting and witness accounts indicate some individuals and groups engaged in efforts to gather information about the layout of the U.S. Capitol, as well as the House and Senate office buildings, in advance of January 6, 2021.
Naturally, leftist lickspittle news outlets like Huffpo jumped on the story as though it were real. But according to Capitol Police Chief J. Thomas Manger, it’s not.
The truth is, Loudermilk simply gave a tour to some constituents.
Manger sent a letter to Rep. Rodney Davis, (R-Ill.), the ranking Republican on the House Administration Committee. In it, he stated there was no evidence Loudermilk led a super-secret info-gathering mission on Jan. 5. Just The News obtained a copy of the letter:
There is no evidence that Representative Loudermilk entered the U.S. Capitol with this group on January 5, 2021,We train our officers on being alert for people conducting surveillance or reconnaissance, and we do not consider any of the activities we observed as suspicious.
Loudermilk has been cleared, but is the damage done? Schiff is a reprehensible, quotidian lying flounder who swears by the old adage, “A lie can travel halfway around the world while the truth is putting on its shoes.”

Roger only posts one topic anymore. Boring.
Biden now has the gall to threaten oil companies if they don't boost supply. After everything he has done to them. What an asshole.
Rat...
This is the lie they continue to tell...
Funny thing is that the law enforcement people tasked with this determined that the family he escorted through portions of the Capital building (and it was a family) were not part of the Jan 6th riots...
Didn't stop the Democrats from pushing the same lie again... claiming (without evidence) that one of the people from the tour was harassing Democrats IN SPITE OF LAW ENFORCEMENT STATING THE OPPOSITE!!!
Their evidence has nothing to do with the same person being escorted by Loudermilk (who is identified by name) and that same person being arrested or involved in the riot...
Their proof... a bald head? A maga hat?
Morons...
This is why they lost a solid Democratic HISPANIC seat...
and will lose more and more...
Because they are despicable liars!
Roger only posts one topic anymore. Boring.
Not just boring, but it's all LIES as well.
Lawyers say that he could be charged for sedition
The only reason why still posting is to show how fucking crazy you have been since you lost your mind.

The truth is, Loudermilk simply gave a tour to some constituents.
The tour in question was given by Rep. Barry Loudermilk (R-GA), who has angrily denied giving reconnaissance tours to Trump supporters who would go on to storm the Capitol on January 6, 2021.
Although there's no evidence to indicate Loudermilk knew the man's intention when he gave his tour, Fritschner does find it suspicious that he went out of his way to take his tour to certain locations.
"The tour route sticks out to me," he said. "I've given many tours, and I don't understand why he showed them both the Rayburn and Cannon Tunnels. Separate routes from different places into the Capitol, which is where your tour group always wants to get. Why did Loudermilk take them to both?"
He then accused Loudermilk and other Republicans of flat-out lying about giving tours in the days leading up to the deadly riots.
"Consider what Republicans said in February 2021: 'There were no tours, no large groups, no one with MAGA hats on,'" he wrote. "There WAS a tour. It was bigger than the pre-pandemic tour size limit. The footage clearly shows a person with a MAGA hat on. They lied."
You censored me again because you are fucking crazy

Republican Rep. Tom Rice who voted for Trump's impeachment says the ex-president is 'purging' the GOP and trying to turn the party into a 'bunch of yes-men loyalists'
Typical fascist dictator rhetoric by your hero Trump and DeSantis.
Roger....
What does that story prove?
The one still shot that they have of the so called "tour" was 6 people including Loudermilk and one of his aides. I see nobody that can be identified in that still shot that related to the person from the video.
The Capitol police have investigated this and said nothing suspicious took place and that they have no evidence that ANY of the people with Loudermilk were part of the Jan 6th riots.
This is what you are down to, Roger...
Lying about Loudermilk. Trying to claim without evidence (and in opposition to the police) that some guy you can barely see from a picture is the same person with a video camera the next day - because they have a bald head or a MAGA hat?
btw.. Roger.
Why is that person not arrested and in jail?
They have his name from signing into the Capitol complex. If they can prove it's the same person, those terrorist threats are a real legal issue.
Lawmaker’s Capitol Complex Tour on the Eve of Jan. 6 Was Innocent, Police Say
The tour led by Representative Barry Loudermilk of Georgia, which had come under scrutiny by the Jan. 6 committee, was a “visit by constituents,” the Capitol Police chief wrote.
Fucking drunken sot
All I know exactly what will happen next. But one lawyer on MSNBC said he could face sedition. But it's very unlikely.
Older story the business insiders was published today.
Because the Russian military has been taking control over several places the President is doing this
WASHINGTON, June 15 (Reuters) - The White House is expected as soon as Wednesday to begin announcing around $1 billion worth of new weapons aid for Ukraine, including anti-ship rocket systems, artillery rockets, and rounds for howitzers, people familiar with the packages said.
The aid packages, which come as U.S. Defense Secretary Lloyd Austin is meeting with allies in Brussels, could be split into two categories: transfer of excess defense articles from U.S. stocks and other weapons being funded by the Ukraine Security Assistance Initiative (USAI), a separate congressionally authorized program.
All I know exactly what will happen next. But one lawyer on MSNBC said he could face sedition. But it's very unlikely.
Who?
The guy that was with Loudermilk who in no way could be identified as the same man making threats?
Is that how you think justice works now?
You are with a GOP congressman... and look "something" like a Jan 6th rioter and therefore... because liberals hate Republicans... you can be charged with "sedition" even if you have other witnesses proving you were somewhere else?
That is what Donald Trump has done to your brain, Roger.
Wanting to send innocent people to jail because of Trump hatred.
Alky, I refute your lies and clean your clock without even breaking a sweat.
As does Cali and CH.
The only narratives ever put forth by the left are FALSE narratives. Your team has become addicted to lying to the American public to secure and maintain power, but that tactic seems to be aging like fine milk.
You're a LIAR, alky. A prolific and pathetic LIAR.

Axios on the Capitol tour.
The Jan. 6 select committee on Wednesday released new information about a Jan. 5 tour of the Capitol complex led by Rep. Barry Loudermilk (R-Ga.), alleging one of the tour group members later filmed videos threatening lawmakers.
Why it matters: The panel is renewing a request for Loudermilk to testify as part of a deep dive into alleged "surveillance" tours — even as they execute blockbuster hearings to showcase the evidence they've already gathered.
The backdrop: The Capitol Police said Tuesday they reviewed surveillance footage of the tour but didn't observe anything "suspicious."
Chief Thomas Manger said the group consisted of between 12 and 15 people and never entered the Capitol itself.Republicans heralded that as a vindication. Rep. Rodney Davis (R-Ill.) said it was proof that Loudermilk "did not take anyone on a reconnaissance tour."Loudermilk has accused the committee of pushing a "verifiably false" narrative.
Driving the news: The new evidence came in a letter to Loudermilk. "We had hoped to show you the video evidence when you met with us," Jan. 6 committee Chair Bennie Thompson (D-Miss.) wrote.
The letter cites surveillance footage that shows tour group members photographing areas of the complex "not typically of interest to tourists, including hallways, staircases, and security checkpoints."Several of the members later attended the Jan. 6 "Stop the Steal" rally at the Ellipse and marched to the Capitol, according to Thompson.
The panel also identifies an unnamed tour group member who took photos of the outside of Rep. Jerry Nadler's (D-N.Y.) office during the tour, and later filmed videos threatening lawmakers, including Nadler.
In footage released by the committee, the individual showed off a sharpened flagpole at the Washington Monument on Jan. 6 and said it was for a "certain person."Later that day, they were filmed outside the Capitol name-checking Nadler, House Speaker Nancy Pelosi, Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer and Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-N.Y.)."There's no escape ... we're coming for you. We're coming to get you

"Waters told the president of a major oil company to “guess what this liberal would be all about? This liberal would be all about socializing — uh, uh, would be about basically taking over and the government running all of your companies.”

GET THIS THROUGH YOUR THICK SKULL
THE CAPITAL POLICE DEPARTMENT HAS DEBUNKED THIS
They investigated, they went through the tapes, they did not see anything suspicious and none of the people who signed in for this walk through had ANYTHING to do with the Jan 6th riots.
But you would rather see an innocent man be accused of criminal behavior...
Because that is what your FUCKING commission is down to doing now?
Where is the real information?
This Loudermilk deal is old news.
Already discussed and debunked.
You bring it up like it is new... even though it is not...
Because you are a Trump hating sleazeball fuck wad who want to ruin the lives of people who disagree with you politically.
Ugly, ugly, ugly way to live Roger.
Even uglier than being locked up with the fifth Beatle.
Look at this twisted Sister Bullshit from Biden and the bed wetters @ CNN.
"Washington(CNN)President Joe Biden is calling on major oil refinery companies to take "immediate actions" to ramp up supply, telling them in a new letter that "historically high" profit margins are unacceptable at a time when Americans continue to see soaring prices at the gas pump.
The letter is part of Biden's effort to shift blame for soaring gas prices, which have become a major political problem, though the reality remains that there is not much he can do about it."
Yes... send a letter to Exxon and Mobile whose stock is crashing... and accuse them of price gouging.

Oath Keepers intended to 'turn on the gas' while lawmakers were in tunnels photographed Jan. 5 by Capitol tourists
Travis Gettys
June 15, 2022
Right-wing extremists charged in the U.S. Capitol riot threatened to "gas" lawmakers in tunnels where Rep. Barry Loudermilk (R-GA) led a tour the previous day.
The Georgia Republican led a group of 15 individuals later identified by police as constituents on a tour of the Capitol complex, where one participant took photos of hallways, staircases and tunnels, and that same man was shown on video from Jan. 6 shouting threats against individual Democratic lawmakers.
“We’re coming to take you out and pull you out by your hairs," the man says, referring to Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-NY). "When I get done with you, you’re going to need a shine on top of that bald head."
Conspiracy charges filed shortly after the riot showed a group of three Oath Keepers were particularly interested in lawmakers' movements in the tunnels underneath the Capitol complex, and one of them, Thomas Edward Caldwell, allegedly received a Facebook message about them.
CHT, the house had a "hearing" on that issue.
To the credit of the oil companies representatives they where having non of it and told the Socialist Democrats to go pound sand.
WTF.
We are At War?
""At a time of war, refinery profit margins well above normal being passed directly onto American families are not acceptable," the President writes in a letter dated Tuesday that was sent to seven companies."
Roger has just become a despicable liar...
But doesn't even care!
I guess we must all now conclude that Roger beat his wife (as she accused) - since any allegation (no matter how weak) must be repeated as truth...
according to Roger...
The WIFE BEATER!!!
Since allegations are the same as truth, Right?

Man who went on GOP lawmaker's Capitol tour caught on camera threatening lawmakers on Jan. 6: report
Brad Reed
June 15, 2022
A man who went on a tour of the Capitol with Rep. Barry Loudermilk (R-GA) on January 5th, 2021 was caught on camera outside the Capitol the next day threatening lawmakers.
Punchbowl News reports that the House Select Committee investigating the Capitol riots "has video of this person taking part in the Loudermilk tour on Jan. 5, as well as documentary footage of the same man outside the Capitol on Jan. 6."
The person in question, who has not been identified, has interviewed with the Jan. 6 Committee and has not been charged with any wrongdoing related to the riots.
Additionally, Capitol Police said this week they have no evidence that Loudermilk was leading a reconnaissance tour of would-be rioters to show them the layout of the building.
Nonetheless, the committee is debating about whether to release the footage publicly, and it apparently isn't done scrutinizing Loudermilk for his actions leading up to the Capitol riots.

The current Democrats just lost it by 5 points!
That is a 25 point move in a largely Hispanic district... the exact sort of district that Democrats believed would solidify their national majority!
I guess when your ENTIRE PARTY is all about lying and making shit up about things that happened 17 months ago... while the Country falls apart today...
This is what you get!

Liberals Rush to Spread Bogus Lauren Boebert Escort and Abortion Rumors
Democrats have seized on a political action committee’s allegations that Rep. Lauren Boebert (R-CO) worked as a prostitute and had multiple abortions—claims that rest on zero actual evidence.
On Tuesday, American Muckrakers PAC, co-founded by Democrat and former North Carolina state Senate candidate David Wheeler, published allegations claiming that Boebert had previously worked as an escort on a sugar-daddy website and underwent at least two abortions, one of which was related to her supposed sugar-baby work.

I said 18 months ago the Federal Reserve needed to raise rates. I told ya so.

The Federal Reserve’s missteps in waiting too long to tackle the greatest run-up in prices in four decades has shaken trust across markets and the American public that it is up to the task of curbing inflation."
