The election results are hardly the “great victory” claimed by President Trump. Republicans picked up a few seats in the Senate, only because unpopular Democrats were up for re-election in conservative states, and lost the House. However, conservative Senator Ted Cruz barely survived in Texas, and the Republican gubernatorial candidate in conservative Georgia, Brian Kemp, only has a narrow lead. The conclusion is inescapable that the “Brown is the New White” rainbow strategy of Barack Hussein Obama is working, putting conservatives on the defensive all across the country. While Obama’s candidates may not have won in several high-profile cases, the fact is that Texas and Georgia are now ripe for future liberal takeovers. That’s because of the strategy Obama has pursued, with the help of Brown is the New White author Steven Phillips, who is backed by the billionaire Sandler family. A year ago, at an America’s Survival, Inc. conference, analyst Trevor Loudon had warned of the left’s plan to take the concept of Jesse Jackson’s Rainbow Coalition and create a new American majority fusing communists, progressive whites, minorities, Islamists and immigrants. Republicans had a great economy going for them. Still, in another shocker, Arizona Senate Republican candidate Martha McSally was maintaining a very small lead over self-proclaimed bisexual Democrat Kyrsten Sinema, a favorite of atheists and secularists. The Democratic Party constituency is now full of New Agers and others who “shun religious labels” like Sinema. New Age leader Oprah Winfrey campaigned for Democrat Stacey Abrams in Georgia, who received more than 48 percent of the vote. In an example of how the Catholic Church has lost its way, voters in liberal but “Catholic” Massachusetts approved Question 3, allowing men into women’s restrooms. Pro-morality and pro-DNA people were crushed at the polls. The conservative Boston Catholic Insider reports that Boston’s Cardinal Sean O’Malley and the other “spineless” Massachusetts bishops “completely caved and copped-out on voicing even a word of opposition to the transgender bathroom bill. Not a peep!” In a related event, Kim Davis, the Christian clerk from Rowan County, Kentucky, lost her re-election race. Supporters of Davis, who had been jailed for refusing to sign a “gay” marriage license, were called “haters” by Shepard Smith of Fox News. Smith, one of the openly gay Fox employees, was never admonished by his corporate bosses for his anti-Christian venom. Trump press secretary Sarah Sanders, who valiantly fights the hostile press, declared the November 6 results “a huge victory for the president” because Trump had “spent the last week campaigning heavily for Senate candidates and we’re seeing the payoff.” While Trump’s campaigning for the November 6 election was significant, it is also a fact that the GOP picked up seats because of a quirk of timing — the fact that so many Democrats were up for re-election in Republican-oriented states. On cultural issues, the conservative losses were substantial. Michigan voted for marijuana legalization, on the heels of former Republican House Speaker John Boehner writing a column for the Wall Street Journal calling for complete legalization nationwide. It benefits Democrats by creating another constituency for the Democratic Party, a process set in motion by former drug abuser and President Obama himself. The potheads are people whose love for the weed will keep them coming back to the polls to vote for more and cheaper drugs – and then more “free” health care to address the damage they cause. Heroin injection centers are next on the agenda. This complements the Obamacare takeover of the health care system, a process still underway and now confirmed by Democratic Party control of the House. Incredibly, the strategy of legalizing the drug on a state-by-state basis may now be officially endorsed by President Trump. National Republican Senatorial Committee Chairman Senator Cory Gardner has a bill co-sponsored with left-wing Democrat Elizabeth Warren to do just that. Gardner claims he has Trump’s private support for this approach. Gardner had dictated that the Senate GOP campaign arm would not fund pro-Trump Senate candidates like Corey Stewart in Virginia. The Drug-Free America Foundation reports: “Michigan is the 10th state to legalize the possession, cultivation, and retail sale of marijuana. The other nine states in this failed experiment include: Alaska, California, Colorado, Maine, Massachusetts, Nevada, Oregon, and Washington.” Much of this effort was financed by billionaire hedge fund operator George Soros. Rather than oppose Soros and his drug legalization campaign, Rep. Steve Stivers, who leads the National Republican Congressional Committee, condemned his fellow Republican, conservative stalwart Rep. Steve King, just days before the elections. Stivers called King, who defends Western civilization, a white nationalist. King won his race but the controversy demonstrates how left-leaning Republicans in charge of the Republican caucus in the House will now work to diminish the influence of its more conservative members. In short, the House Republicans are in a shambles and their strategy of “opposition” to the Democrats looks like a mess, or maybe a sham. Stivers, by the way, had predicted that the Republicans would retain their House majority. But it’s hard to do that when you’re attacking fellow Republicans. Rep. Nancy Pelosi, the likely new House Speaker, won’t fund the border wall. But she is already promising to offer the radical LGBTQ “Equality Act” for consideration. Peter LaBarbara of Americans for Truth calls it the “Criminalizing Christianity Act” because it would “effectively criminalize traditional morality” and outlaw opposition to special protected status for sexual minorities. Yet, as he notes, Republicans are mostly silent. Forced to vote on such a bill, at least some Republicans will go for it, wanting to look fashionable. If the “Religious Right” fails to fight these dangerous trends, the GOP could then go the way of the British Conservative Party, AWOL on the cultural issues. Not all was lost for conservatives. Staunch conservative Republican Rep. Louie Gohmert won big in Texas after he appeared on the Lou Dobbs show on Fox and defended criticism of billionaire George Soros. “It’s not anti-Semitic to criticize Soros, and Israel issued a statement a year ago saying just that,” Gohmert said. Fox had previously banned Chris Farrell of Judicial Watch for criticizing Soros on the Dobbs show. Then, Fox yanked a pro-Trump ad on the illegal immigration issue. It wouldn’t be surprising if Gohmert may now be banned from the channel by its corporate bosses, the Murdochs, who are partners with Michael Bloomberg in the open borders group, Parnership for a New American Economy. In a statement to The Daily Caller, Rep. Gohmert doubled-down on his criticism of Soros: “The alt-left media, including the New York Times, has decided to provide an all-out defense of their beloved, self-identified and remorseless former Nazi collaborator of Jewish lineage, who even the Israeli government knows well is not their friend. George Soros, an anti-God, anti-Israel billionaire, is perhaps the largest ever global funder of efforts to undermine America’s Constitution. Anyone who puts this much effort into the destabilization of America and the destruction of Israel deserves to be called out for his actions.” Such strong statements are increasingly rare for Republicans, some of whom are folding like cheap suits in the face of the billions of dollars spent against them by billionaires such as George Soros and Michael Bloomberg. Rep. King, who has called for a House Committee on Un-American Activities to root out subversion, is among the few Republicans who continue to speak out about the threat and what is at stake. When Fox News censors respected conservatives like Chris Farrell, you know we are in deep trouble. These acts of censorship by the leading “conservative” news organization demonstrate why our Roku and YouTube channel, America’s Survival TV, is so necessary. We expose Soros and have done so consistently since our Soros Files conference in 2011. As black businessman Zubi Diamond said at that conference, Soros was the money behind Barack Hussein Obama, and Obama was beholden to him. Now the Democrats can count on billions from Bloomberg and others. Bloomberg himself said he would be spending a total of $110 million on the midterm election. The Obama/Soros machine, now apparently in control of Fox News, is alive and well. We can anticipate the channel moving to silence or dismiss its pro-Trump commentators, most notably Sean Hannity, probably on spurious grounds that they are mixing politics and journalism. As for the president, Trump cannot compete effectively unless and until he and his advisers understand the “permanent revolution” strategy of Obama and his billionaire backers. Analyst Trevor Loudon’s speech at one of our conferences, on the “Rainbow Conspiracy,” is a good place to start understanding this next phase of the revolutionary struggle. The White House clearly doesn’t understand the revolutionary forces they are up against. Obama and Oprah are not going away. And now, in terms of the media, Trump can’t even depend on Fox News.* America’s Survival, Inc.

Communist Radicals Take Control Of
The House Of Representatives

I guess I’m overly optimistic. I figured the Republicans would get both the House and the Senate. They only retained the Senate ceding the House to the loony Democrats. It’s not great, but then again… the House and the Senate weren’t doing the heavy lifting, Trump was. What this will do however is let the Democrats be even more obstructionist in trying to stop President Trump. But Trump is a fighter and they may find that if push comes to shove, Trump is going to throw them off a cliff. Losing the House in a way may also be a gift to Trump. Nancy Pelosi is the nutty gift that just keeps on giving. It appears as though Pelosi will get her dearest wish and be reinstated as Speaker of the House once more. God help us. But having that moonbat lead the House does have certain benefits attached. She’s 78-years-old and something has been not right with Pelosi for a long time. She constantly slurs her words, forgets what she’s saying and has brain freezes. She’s a Christmas gift to Trump. “I feel very confident in the support that I have in the House Democratic Caucus, and my focus is on winning this election because so much is at stake,” Pelosi told reporters in July. Recently, she told The Washington Post: “Nobody is indispensable. But I do think that I am best qualified to take us into the future, protect the Affordable Care Act, to do our infrastructure bill and the rest. Stepping down this path, I know the ropes.” Commie Rep. Elijah Cummings (D-MD) stated just a few days ago: “I expect Nancy Pelosi will be Speaker, and I believe that she will be Speaker until she decides to leave.” She’s served 16 terms in the House and is a machine at raising money. But some Democratic leaders want her gone and to install new blood as leadership. From The Daily Wire:There’s nothing like a bunch of aging, hippy communists with a grudge and a lust for power-lost to throw a wrench into making America great again. As The Daily Wire appropriately said, “Here come the crazies!” Giddy up, the inmates are about to lead the asylum and much more violence will follow in their wake.Rep. Linda Sanchez (D-CA) said late last year it was time for Pelosi — and other longtime party leaders — to depart and let a new generation lead House Democrats. “Our leadership does a tremendous job, but we do have this real breadth and depth of talent within our caucus and I do think it’s time to pass the torch to a new generation of leaders,” Sanchez said.
But Pelosi wants the gavel, and while some political watchers say there’ll bea fight, many predict she’ll get it.But Pelosi is not the only ascending Marxist here. Rep. Maxine Waters (D-CA), 80, and arguably the most corrupt Democrat in the House, will now most likely chair the powerful House Financial Services Committee. She has vowed to impeach Trump now more times than I can count. The committee oversees the housing, banking, insurance, and securities industries, and Waters has big plans if she can head that committee. “Last August, Waters moved unsuccessfully to subpoena Deutsche Bank AG for records concerning ‘internal reviews of the personal accounts of the president and his family,’ as well as more information about fees levied against the bank concerning lax money-laundering detection policies that could have allowed Russian operatives to funnel cash without a paper trail,” Fox News reported. Waters has gone full-blown crazy since Trump came into office. “He claims that’s bringing people together but make no mistake, he is a dangerous, unprincipled, divisive, and shameful racist,” Waters said in February. She has threatened violence not only against President Trump, but Republicans in general. Next up is weaselly Rep. Adam Schiff (D-CA), 58. He truly hates President Trump with a white-hot passion, but the media loves him. He will almost certainly head the House Intelligence Committee. I shudder to think what Stalinist moves he will make from that powerful perch. He says the committee will “investigate questions involving Russian money laundering and President Donald Trump’s businesses.” Schiff claims his committee will work hand-in-hand with Waters’ committee and focus on potential money-laundering schemes involving the Trump campaign and Russia, saying he’ll back Special Counsel Robert Mueller’s probe into alleged collusion. “The question, though, that I don’t know whether Mueller has been able to answer — because I don’t know whether he’s been given the license to look into it — is were the Russians laundering money through the Trump Organization?” Schiff said. “And that will be a very high priority to get an answer to — for the reason that, if they were doing this, it’s not only a crime, but it’s something provable.” One of the biggest and most deceptive Marxists out there is Rep. Jerry Nadler (D-NY), 71. He will take over the House Judiciary Committee. Nadler will work with Schiff to oversee any attempt to impeach Trump. And trust me, they will give it their all. Nadler was on the committee when it voted to impeach former President Bill Clinton, but he said then that the vote was an attempted coup and a “gross abuse” of the impeachment power. He apparently doesn’t think that way anymore and is cool with doing it to a Republican. What a lying commie hypocrite. “If the president perjured himself about colluding with Russians, that would be worthy of impeachment,” Nadler said in September. “Perjury about some real estate deal that happened 10 years ago that the Trump Organization took, that would not be an impeachable offense. It would be a crime.” And then there is Rep. Elijah Cummings (D-MD) who is definitely one of the most partisan members of the House. He will probably take over the House Oversight Committee, where he is now ranking Democrat. Cummings has said Trump “is a person [who] calls a lie ‘the truth’ and the truth ‘a lie.’” He has vowed to conduct investigations into the president. “If I can get documents, it doesn’t matter.” “Cummings is prepping targets — from the security clearances of Trump’s son-in-law, Jared Kushner, and former national security adviser Michael Flynn, to digging into how former EPA chief Scott Pruitt was able to keep his job for so long—and the list is getting longer by the week,” Politico reported on Oct. 2.

Trump’s Victory In The Midterms Was Fake News

A special report from America’s Survival, Inc.* America’s Survival, Inc. (ASI) President Cliff Kincaid has had a nearly 40-year journalism career that includes serving as a co-host for the debate show “Crossfire” on CNN in the 1980s.

Republican National Committee Ronna McDaniel claims the forecasted Democratic Party blue wave tsunami turned into a ripple. In fact, Democrats could win 40 House seats, the most since Watergate. And another Watergate is what House Democrats have promised for President Trump. Democratic Party moneybags Tom Steyer spent more than $100 million promoting impeachment. He wants a return on investment.
The actual ripple, meaning something small or practically insignificant, best describes the Republican victories in the red states of Texas and Georgia. Republican Senator Ted Cruz barely survived, winning by three points, and Georgia Republican gubernatorial candidate Brian Kemp is claiming victory with just over 50 percent of the vote.
Nevertheless, former Fox anchor Eric Bolling, now with CRTV, claimed that “the blue wave never came” and that “It was all just fake news to try to hurt President Trump.” These deceptions must be challenged. The massive conservative defeats on November 6 are the result of “progressive” determination and conservative weakness, ignorance, and indifference. Fox News, with openly gay Shepard Smith spouting anti-conservative and anti-Trump remarks one hour a day, proved not to be the effective counter-balance to the liberal media. What’s worse, Fox became part of the problem when it banned criticism of hedge fund billionaire and Democratic Party donor George Soros.
Republican victories were few and far between. They picked up one or two seats in the Senate because unpopular Democrats were up for re-election in conservative states. But in Montana, a conservative state, Democratic Senator Jon Tester won a third Senate term, beating Republican Matt Rosendale for whom President Trump campaigned. In Florida, Governor Rick Scott had the legal authority to clean up the corrupt county election systems before he became a Senate candidate whose “victory” is now in doubt. He invited vote fraud shenanigans from the “progressive” political machines.
Trump is a Drag
It’s not fake news to recognize the fact that Trump is so unpopular that Republican candidates either can’t win or just barely squeak by in states where they should be winning by big margins. The Gallup polling organization points out that presidents with job approval ratings below
50 percent have seen their party lose 37 House seats, on average, in midterm
elections. With a loss of possibly 40 seats, that’s worse than the average.
In the race for governor in conservative Kansas, Trump loyalist and Breitbart columnist Kris Kobach was defeated by Democratic State Senator Laura Kelly. The margin was over 4 points.
The anti-Trump wave was so total that, in Minnesota, radical leftist Keith Ellison, the Muslim former Congressman and associate of Louis Farrakhan, won the race for Attorney General, after allegations of abuse from an ex-girlfriend. He will now spend his time suing Trump.
Bolstered by Sean Hannity of Fox News and Rush Limbaugh on the campaign trail, Trump was apparently convinced that talking about illegal immigration and the economy would save his House majority and get conservatives out to the polls. That strategy ignored the social issues which can motivate many conservative and Christian voters. Meanwhile, Democrats developed political machines and propaganda vehicles financed by George Soros, Tom Steyer, and Michael Bloomberg that exploited issues such as “climate change” and gun control. In addition, Oprah’s New Agers were mobilized on behalf of the Democratic Party. We had called this the “Permanent Revolution” in a book published
earlier this year.
On the Republican side, billionaires like the Koch Brothers, Paul Singer, Cliff Asness, and Peter Thiel are pushing Trump and the Republicans further to the left on social issues.
In one of their biggest victories, self-proclaimed bisexual Democrat Kyrsten Sinema, a leftist photographed protesting the U.S. military in a pink tutu, beat a military veteran and political moderate, Martha McCally, in Arizona. As analyst Peter LaBarbera points out, McSally and the Republicans failed to challenge or expose Sinema’s oddball beliefs and bizarre lifestyle. In a nearby state, under the influence of Big Marijuana, Colorado went “dark blue” and elected a gay governor, former Democratic Rep. Jared Polis, who was praised on Fox News.
In the Midwest, Michigan legalized dope.
The current trends have convinced Dr. Brian Joondeph, a conservative
physician, writer, and radio commentator, to conclude that Trump could very well be the last Republican president. With Texas and Florida (and possibly Georgia and Arizona) flipping from red to blue, he notes that an electoral shift has been in the works for decades. To dramatize the shift, he notes that Cruz won his Senate seat in 2012 by 57-41 percent, a 16 point margin, but on November 6 the victory was much smaller, 51-48, barely a 3 point margin. His opponent this time, Democratic Congressman Beto O’Rourke, was pro-marijuana and once involved in a drunken-driving incident, fleeing the scene of the crash.
What’s more, ex-felons are now being given the right to vote in many states, adding to the Democratic Party totals. Another Democratic constituency, potheads, are growing in numbers and strength. Former Republican House Speaker John Boehner is lobbying on their behalf for nationwide legalization.
The liberals and their allies have simply worked harder. Conservatives can ridicule “community organizing” all they want. But since the days when Rep. Nancy Pelosi’s “San Francisco Democrats” utilized the political skills of communist preacher Jim Jones and homosexual activist Harvey Milk, the idea has been to identify and mobilize people and herd them to the polls. The remnants of the Jones-Milk apparatus facilitated California’s left-ward drift ever since more than 900 Jones followers from the Peoples Temple church people killed themselves on November 18, 1978. That sordid story is told in Daniel Flynn’s new book, Cult City, which explores how these operatives exploit the weak, poor, and vulnerable for Marxist revolutionary purposes. Milk, one of Jim Jones’s most vocal supporters, was subsequently assassinated, along with San Francisco Mayor George Moscone, by a fellow Democrat jealous of their political power on November 27, 1978, in what Flynn calls the ten days that shook San Francisco.
Brown is the New White
Taking this strategy to a national level, former President Barack Hussein
Obama has pursued, with the help of Brown is the New White author Steven Phillips, the creation of a “new American majority” fusing communists, progressive whites, minorities, Islamists, dopers, homosexuals and transgenders, and immigrants. One can see the success even in red states like Texas and Georgia.
Indeed, Kim Davis, the Christian clerk who had been jailed for refusing to sign a “gay” marriage license lost her re-election race in conservative Kentucky. Establishment Republicans will undoubtedly use this defeat as an excuse to reaffirm their determination to avoid talking about “controversial” social issues. As LaBarbera notes, you can’t even talk about “gay” issues in a negative manner on Fox News anymore. Instead, Fox features gay and lesbian personalities such as Guy Benson and Tammy Bruce, and libertarians like Greg Gutfeld and Lisa Kennedy Montgomery, a former MTV VJ.
A year ago, at an America’s Survival, Inc. conference, analyst Trevor Loudon
had warned of the left’s plan to take the concept of Jesse Jackson’s Rainbow Coalition and expand it exponentially. What became the Obama/Steve Phillips strategy is backed by the billionaire Sandler family, who are also behind
the liberal website ProPublica.
But before conservatives come to grips with the political reality, including the anticipated impeachment of Trump, they should scrutinize the prognosticators who failed to predict the blue wave and tried to deny it even existed at all.
Former Republican House Speaker Newt Gingrich, whose wife was appointed
by Trump as Ambassador to the Vatican, had predicted there would “absolutely” be a red wave. In California, Gingrich had claimed that the candidacy of moderate Republican John Cox as governor would help congressional Republicans hold their seats. Here’s what happened: 53 House seats were up, 39 of which were held by Democrats and 14 by Republicans. Now, after the elections, Democrats will hold a 42-11 edge. Cox won only 40 percent of the vote against Gavin Newsom.
“We’re probably going to gain seats in governorships,” Gingrich added. In fact, Democrats replaced Republican governors in seven states — Michigan, Illinois, Wisconsin, Kansas, Nevada, New Mexico, and Maine – and captured some 300 legislative seats in state houses all across the country. In addition, they captured a majority of state attorneys general.
Loose Lips Limbaugh
Radio host Rush Limbaugh, a Reaganite who never voted for conservative President Ronald Reagan, had appeared at a Trump rally. He eagerly accepted Gingrich’s predictions, with a story headlined,
“Mr. Newt Predicts a Red Wave.” He cited a Gingrich column in which Gingrich suggested Democratic Senator Bob Menendez might lose in New Jersey to Bob Hugin. Menendez won by over ten points. California Democrats, Gingrich said, were “more vulnerable than they have been in a quarter century,” another erroneous prediction.
Indeed, a story by Dom Calicchio at Fox News captured the depth of the Republican
electoral disaster in California:
Democrats hold every statewide office, both chambers of the Legislature and a 3.7 million advantage in voter registrations… A surge in immigrants in recent decades transformed the state and its voting patterns. In Orange County, largely white, conservative homeowners once delivered winning margins for GOP candidates year after year. But most of the state’s new voters, Hispanics, and Asians are Democrats or independents. It’s also hard to discount the influence of Trump, who lost California by over 4 million votes in 2016. California is home to the so-called Trump “resistance,” which has stood in opposition to his policies on the environment and immigration.
It’s hard to imagine that Ronald Reagan was governor of California before he became America’s best-known and most successful conservative president,
Limbaugh, after reciting Gingrich’s predictions, said the Republicans would hold the House, “maybe even picking up a couple of seats.” He was off by about 40 seats.
Limbaugh, who claims to be right 99 percent of the time, had run a story on his website, based on one of his monologues, “Democrats Realize They’re in Trouble as Red Wave Builds.” He quoted an “expert on forecast models,” Gerard Francis Lameiro, as predicting there would be a red wave in the House with 225 — 228 Republicans elected to office and a new Senate with 58 or even 60 Republicans elected to office. The author of a book titled, “The Dawning of the New Conservative Era,” his prediction ran
under the headline, “Red Wave Coming in the House and Senate.”
It’s starting to dawn on people that Trump’s great “victory” on November 6 isn’t looking so good. Brian Burch of the conservative group Catholic Vote notes:
If the Democrats flip the Senate seat in Arizona, and if the Democrats steal the Senate seat in Florida, suddenly the Republican Senate gain would be reduced to just one new seat. This would return the Senate to a 52-48 makeup — which is exactly how we started when President Trump took office (until the Alabama special election reduced it to 51-49). Losing both Florida and Arizona would mean razor thin margins once again on key votes — including judges.
Looking on the bright side, Tim Huelskamp, Ph.D., President of the Heartland Institute, says, “Senate majority leader [Mitch] McConnell should continue to fill the courts with Constitution-friendly judges and justices.” But how is that possible when liberal Republican Senators Susan Collins and Lisa Murkowski are able to influence the process? That’s how and why Trump nominated Brett Kavanaugh, who won confirmation promising Collins that he would honor the court’s pro-abortion decisions and hailed the court’s homosexual marriage ruling. Murkowski voted against him anyway.
Now, the victorious House Democrats are threatening to impeach Kavanaugh.
Trump, his enablers, and the Republican Party had no ground game or message to match Obama’s “Brown is the New White” strategy. Equally shocking, conservative media are hailing their failure as a victory! In this case, the “fake news” is coming from Trump supporters and pro-Trump websites ignoring reality.
