Not a Wave — A Wipeout
“This is not going to be a win. And it’s not going to be a wave. It’s going to be a wipeout.”
— Democratic strategist Paul Begala, quoted by the New York Post.
Vance-Splaining Explained
Vice President JD Vance is off on an essential mission:
Vance-splaining Trump’s lies, like a truth beautician.
He ‘splained Catholicism to the Pope,
As if Leo was a dunderheaded dope,
Now he’s ‘splaining to the GOP how to win the midterm elections.
Explaining the Inexplicable
JD Vance must wonder sometimes what he got himself into,
Following behind Donald Trump doing rhetorical jiujitsu.
Taking all the dumb lies Trump said,
And telling what Trump “meant” instead,
As the midterms loom, JD has a lot of “Vance-splaining” to do.
Xi-Whiz Moment
Xi and Trump got together to practice their propaganda,
Talking AI and oil before the state dinner extravaganza.
But when it came down to deal-making,
There was some giving and taking,
With Trump giving Xi Taiwan and Xi sending Atlanta two pandas.

Harris Lambasts Trump’s Media Ban
“The man is afraid of the voice of the people and that the people understand and know what he’s doing. He’s trying to stifle the ability of journalists to let the people of America know what’s really going on with their government.”
— “Kamala Harris called President Donald Trump’s ban of CNN, MS NOW and Politico from the White House ‘absolutely abhorrent,’” The Wrap reports.
Redistricting Put 10% of Americans Into New Districts
10%
“The unprecedented spate of mid-decade redistricting for the U.S. House has changed the congressional districts for one-tenth of Americans and significantly altered the makeup of at least one-fifth of districts, according to a new study,” the Associated Press reports.
Freedom Fest Fail
What if you planned a Kentucky MAGA event and only heard crickets?
Previously, announcing Freedom Fest turned on the money spigots.
Kid Rock was planned as headliner,
But organizer Eric Deters was a whiner:
The “best MAGA event” had only sold six one-thousand-dollar VIP tickets.
