1) Republicans Won Nearly Five Million More Votes In House Races Than Democrats
Ok, we’re all feeling depressed about the election letdown. But these numbers may somewhat cheer you up on the popular vote totals:
These could change a bit because, of course, nearly a week after the election, California, the state that is supposed to be the technology capital of the world, is still counting votes.
If you’re a Republican and were expecting a red tide, this is small consolation. It does underscore that for the majority of voters the GOP message held. But it’s bad news because it means that the party and PACs spent way too much money in blowout races that went red, and way too little money in districts that were decided by a whisker that Republicans lost.
2) …So Why Isn’t The Media Reporting These Numbers
Meanwhile, it's fascinating to us that the national media, which has labeled this midterm election a “vindication” for Biden and his policies, has largely ignored these tallies on the popular vote count.
That’s a bit odd because these are the same media bloodhounds, at places like CNN, who obsessed for four years about Hillary Clinton winning the popular vote against Trump (they even dismissed him as an “illegitimate president”).
For the record, Hillary won the popular vote by roughly 3 million versus a 5 million vote margin this year for Repubs.
We also couldn’t help but remember this headline from a left-wing political rag after the 2016 election won by Trump:
We think that is good advice six years later for the Republicans in Congress. Don’t be cowardly lions. You have the majority and the support of 52 million voters. Make Congress great again.
3) WHOOPS – CNBC’s Jim Kramer LOVED FTX CEO Sam Bankman-Fried
Yesterday, we noted how many liberal and “woke” Democrats in Washington were taken in by the Ponzi-scheme firm headed by FTX CEO Sam Bankman-Fried as the lapped up his tens of millions of dollars in campaign contributions.
But Bankman-Fried was also the darling of the media. CNBC loudmouth Jim Cramer went over the top by calling him “the next J.P. Morgan” just TWO months ago. Previously, in 2015 he had touted convicted Theranos fraudster Elizabeth Holmes as “the next Steve Jobs.” That was only six months before the Wall Street Journal exposed her scams.
The next time you read about some revolutionary left-wing business visionary being touted by CNBC, switch the channel to Fox Business with Maria Bartaroma, Stuart Varney, Charles Payne, and Larry Kudlow.
5) Chart Of The Day: China Is Dominating World Coal Production
This past week Biden’s Climate Change Czar John Kerry has been reporting that he is close to getting a breakthrough deal with China to reduce greenhouse gas emissions. In Beijing, they are rolling on the floor laughing at him.
We mentioned last week that China is building some two dozen massive NEW coal plants. And then look at this chart. Does this look like a country that cares about climate change? China’s emissions are already about three to four times higher than ours in the United States, even though our economy is about 50% larger than theirs. And sorry, Mr. Ambassador Kerry, China’s just getting started with their massive pollution machine.
