The same people who for four years either ignored or outright cheered the weaponization of the justice system and government censorship of the Internet now claim to be terrified of the threat to free speech by the Administration that’s fighting to end all that.

We also have the genuinely weird experience of hearing Democrats rail about “affordability” when Biden’s policies brought us 9% inflation and a loss of over $3000 in average income, while Trump has dropped inflation to 2.7%, brought gas prices back down to the $2-a-gallon range, and increased real incomes by over $1200.

It’s pure propaganda with a Goebbels level of honesty, but the Democrats believe it will return them to power in the midterms. The scary thing is that it just might.

Mike Huckabee reminds us is that Trump’s first term wrought an economic miracle that it took COVID to derail, including 400,000 new jobs created, the highest-ever median household income and near-50-year low unemployment across all demographic groups. [Dave Barry,Substack]

And what did voters do in the 2018 midterms? After hearing two years of relentless attacks on Trump, they turned out in high numbers to elect 40 more Democrats who took back the House, blocked Trump’s America First agenda and gave us two years of pointless, expensive investigations, partisan lawfare and impeachment theater.

This could happen again in 2026, and we guarantee that it would bring the exact same results. [Dave Barry-Substack]

Good Night, Patriots!
