The key to keeping the House...

2026 is right around the corner, and one thing’s for sure:

If we lose the House, we lose the agenda.

We lose the Republican advantage and a chance to get things done.

That’s why the redistricting matters.

It’s not just about a few votes here and there, righting mistakes from the past census.

This means the difference between a clear agenda, and weeks—months of subpoenas and impeachments.

Just look at the stakes.

This chart from Bruce Mehlman shows just how tight the margins are: the closest since 1931.

 

That’s not something we can gamble with.

Let’s break it down

 

High stakes…

Just think about what a Democrat House majority could mean for the next 2 years

It means non-stop hearings on ridiculous topics, endless subpoenas for Trump’s team, and impeachment 3.0.

We’ve seen it before— look at 2019.

No agenda, just gridlock, and anything they can do to stall the Trump administration’s progress

The problem is, history isn’t on our side.

Another one of Bruce’s charts shows how often the President’s wins House seats during midterms:

 

Not often.

But that’s just what we need to happen to stay on track.

How do we make sure the House reflects what the American people want?

Redistricting: the new battleground…

Trump is pushing for states—especially battleground states—to redistrict this year.

Texas, North Carolina, and Missouri already have, with several more on the way.

Of course, Democrats are fighting this tooth and nail.

They’re trying to use state courts to to redraw districts in their favor.

In New York, they’re trying to flip seats with gerrymandered maps, and in North Carolina, Dems are trying to push their own versions in protest.

Funny how they don’t like fair representation when it’s not in their favor.

The Voting Rights Act of 1965 is key here— it’s been weaponized to favor Democrats in southern states, but if the Supreme Court strike down Section 2, Dems could lose up to 12 districts.

Cue helpful chart:

 

It’s the kind of change that could pay out dividends for years to come—just imagine what we could accomplish with two years of a solid majority.

The bottom line…

Let’s be honest, Republicans’ majority right now is razor thin.

And given historic trends, we can’t leave the 2026 midterms up to chance.

We need to make redistricting a reality… not just because it gives us a clear path forward, but because it gives a lot of Americans their voice back.

For too long, dishonest maps have silenced conservative areas.

It’s time to take them back.

If we don’t, we’re looking down the barrel of a rough couple years, filled with investigations, subpoenas and impeachment.

If you ask me, I say it’s a better idea to avoid all that mess and deal with it in a smarter, more American way:

Let the people decide.

Democrats don’t seem to want the government to be open for business anyways, I’m sure they won’t mind losing a couple seats.

Democrats can’t handle Trump’s White House addition...

Democrats are having a bit of a rough year.

Leaderless, rudderless, and now championing a government shutdown, it’s safe to say their party has seen better days.

It doesn’t look like things will be getting better any time soon.

Their latest antics show just how disconnected they are—both from the American people and reality.

You may have heard that Trump is working on an update to the White House: a 90,000 square feet ballroom for state events replacing the East Wing.

Blueprints and plans show a beautiful space that will be used by presidents for years to come.

Oh, and one other big factor?

Trump’s funding it privately; it’s not costing the taxpayer a dime.

Still, to hear Democrats talk about it, you’d think he was putting a match to the White House.

They’ve been up in arms this week, “outraged” that Trump would dare renovate.

It’s either fake outrage, or real hypocrisy fueled by Trump derangement syndrome.

Let’s break it down.

 

A welcome (and precedented) update…

So what exactly is this new addition going to look like?

They say a picture is worth a thousand words— here’s a few mock ups:

Image
 
Image
 
Image
 

Looks great to me.

But the left’s reaction makes it seem like Trump’s move is outrageous and unprecedented.

Not exactly.

People have pointed out that many Presidents have made changes to the White House—and at taxpayer expense no less.

Benny Johnson compiled a neat list, including Roosevelt’s West Wing, Taft’s Oval Office, FDR’s East Wing and private pool, Truman’s full White House rebuild, Nixon’s bowling alley, and Obama’s basketball court.

Where was Democrat outrage then?

Is a beautiful, privately funded ballroom offensive, but a taxpayer funded basketball court isn’t?

It’s just the latest example of the left’s double standard when it comes to Trump.

The White House even came out to set the record straight, recording all the historical renovations the building has undergone… plus some *unorthodox* behavior it’s seen from past presidents.

The video really puts it in perspective.

Or, here’s a map showing just how much the White House has changed over the years.

Infographic titled Notable White House Renovations shows aerial view of White House complex with numbered annotations: 1 South Portico added 1829, 2 North Portico 1817, 3 Tiffany window added to Entrance Hall 1889, 4 West Wing rebuilt 1902 with Tiffany window removed, 5 Rose Garden paved over 1913, 6 Ballroom construction begins 2025 under green construction area, timeline from 1817 to 2025 on left side.
 

The bottom line?

This is completely normal—in fact the only unprecedented part of it is that it’s privately funded.

Democrats are mad at something that isn’t costing the taxpayers a dime.

Go figure.

Widespread democrat outrage…

It’s not just a few lefties that are annoyed.

Democrats across the spectrum are livid at Trump’s plan.

According to Hillary Clinton, he’s “destroying” the White House.

First, he’s not destroying the White House— he’s adding on.

That point aside, people were quick to point out that given what her husband was doing in the White House, Hillary might wanna sit this one out.

Several X users also remembered that the Clintons were caught stealing furniture and china from the White House after their stay. . .again with the hypocrisy.

But the left just can’t help themselves.

Maria Shriver said that the renovation “breaks her heart”.

Feels like a slightly extremely reaction, no?

But maybe we shouldn’t be so hard on the left.

They seem to have a little trouble when it comes to aesthetic judgment calls.

Exhibit A?

Barack Obama’s presidential library:

Tall multi-story building under construction with extensive scaffolding covering the exterior, featuring large glass window panels on upper levels and concrete framework below, a tall crane positioned at the top right, utility poles and wires in the foreground, several parked cars in a lot at the base, and bare trees surrounding the site under a partly cloudy sky.
 

If this is the kind of architecture the left likes, no wonder they’re repulsed by the beautiful neoclassical architecture that Trump’s bringing back.

But I’d venture to say that most people would prefer Trump’s building over this bad copy of a North Korean guard tower.

The bottom line.

Senator Hawley was asked about Trump’s White House addition by a reporter and I think he nailed his response.

You can watch the full exchange here.

His answer?

“These are the same people who tore down every statue they could get their hands on in the last four years.”

“Christopher Columbus, Thomas Jefferson, Theodore Roosevelt.”

“They didn’t have any concern for history then. Now all of a sudden, they’re like, oh, the facade of the East Wing is iconic.”

He’s right on.

And it just highlights how ridiculous the left’s fake outrage is.

They hate Trump so much, they have to turn everything he does into an attack on America.

But if you ask me, that game is getting pretty old.

My suggestion to the Democrats?

Spend more time and energy on getting the government back in business—Americans are more concerned about getting their paychecks than they are about your latest anti-Trump crusade.

Make American agriculture great again...

You’ve heard me talk about MAHA.

Today I want to talk about an aspect of MAHA that doesn’t get a lot of coverage: the farmers and ranchers that actually raise the products we consume.

America first means agriculture too.

But striking the balance between consumer prices and American profitability can be tough.

It’s easy to jump on the bandwagon complaining about high prices, but it’s worth it to take a step back and ask what benefits all of America.

Farmers and ranchers have dealt with price controls and unfair markets for decades, it’s high time for a change.

After all, the rural base is a huge part of what got Trump and this Republican Congress elected.

These folks are the backbone of America; they literally feed us—and a good chunk of the rest of the world.

But with a storm brewing in the beef market, people are starting to ask questions about what the right move is, both for America’s ranchers and the country as a whole.

Let’s break it down

 

A balancing game…

Last week, Trump commented to reporters on the beef market.

“That would be the one product that we would say is a little bit higher than we’d want it. Maybe higher than we want it. And that’s gonna be coming down pretty soon too. We did something, we worked our magic.”

Trump’s touching on a real consumer concern here.

High food prices are our reality right now—it’s not just beef.

Here’s the problem: ranchers don’t get raises. While their expenses go up year-to-year, prices don’t always reflect that.

They’re dealing with the same raised prices that we are, but their “wages” aren’t going up to match that.

The “high” prices are really just proportional to the current economy.

It’s our short term reality while Trump works to reform American trade, and put our industries first.

But ranchers felt the sting when these comments sent the markets plummeting.

Luckily the markets are already recovering this week, but it highlights the problem you run into when trying to change the market.

We run into the same problem with grain markets.

Currently, China isn’t buying American soybean, making prices low for our grain farmers.

China claims this retaliation for the tariffs President Trump slapped on them. I’ve talked about tariffs before—and I still believe that short term pain is worth the long term gain of American independence.

But agriculture is unique.

While markets fluctuate according to politics, farmers’ expenses continue to grow, shrinking their profits and making it hard to keep going.

They’re facing a system that’s been rigged against them for years.

High tariff and non tariff barriers to foreign markets block their ability to export, while foreign imports lower the prices in the domestic market.

We’ve got to protect them too.

The bottom line

Trump’s been floating the idea of buying Argentine beef to lower prices here at home.

I get it—he wants to help out consumers.

But American farmers have to make a living too.

It’s that balancing game I talked about.

Small American farms aren’t just the backbone of America, they raise the type of quality product we need to MAHA.

Foreign beef just doesn’t compare.

These folks have been Trump’s base from the beginning.

They’ve been willing to give him the time and benefit to work on fixing the long term problem.

But right now they’re stuck between a rock and a hard place. . .we’ve got to share the burden to make sure America is stronger in the long term.

Small family farms are worth protecting.

American food independence is just as important as our industrial and manufacturing independence.

After years of drought and rigged systems, we’ve got to give our ranchers the chance to rebuild herds and get back on track to continue delivering high-quality U.S. product to the country.

Short term pain is worth the long term payout of American food independence.

When America’s farmers and ranchers win, we all win.

Democrats keep moving the goalpost...

We’re officially on day 17 of the government shutdown.

And no clear end in sight.

It’s got me wondering. . . what is this really about?

Not a rhetorical question.

The Democrats seem hell-bent on this shutdown, but they still won’t say exactly what they want.

They’ve voted 10 times now to keep the government shut down.

They’ve complained about plenty:

Medicare subsidies, healthcare for illegals, it’s the same thing we’ve heard a million times.

And now this week, the No Kings rally is coming to town, giving them a boost of support.

Maybe they wanted to keep the government shut down during the rally because they didn’t want to lose a talking point — after all, their supporters are come to rally in DC and I’m sure there’s no cancellation on the various youth hostels they are staying in.

But what's their endgame?

I, for one, am genuinely curious what this shutdown is really about.

Let’s break it down.

 

Healthcare red herring…

At the start of the shutdown, it seemed like the Democrats’ big bargaining chip was healthcare— restoring expiring subsidies and coverage that included illegals.

But let’s take a look at that.

They created this problem.

They did not make the subsidies permanent- they created this time line.

They claimed they would be temporary — under the guise of Covid.

Well, covid is over. They only cover people who make 400% above the poverty level. most of the subsidies actually go to insurance companies.

Plus, the funding levels in the bill they opposing, they’ve previously supported 13 times

Senator Eric Schmidt broke this down on Wednesday’s show:

The Dem’s “counter offer” is $1.5 trillion more in spending, healthcare coverage for illegals, and undoing all the recisions to that Americans continue paying for ridiculous initiatives overseas.

His take? “It’s not serious. . .it’s a psychological impact of Trump Derangement Syndrome.”

In short, the Democrats are playing politics with your tax dollar—for all appearances they’re shutting down the government out of spite.

They have the luxury of being able to do that without a second thought, meanwhile, Americans suffer.

Just look at the consequences:

Bar chart displays number of flight delays in blue bars reaching up to 8000 on left y-axis from October 8 to 14 and cancellations in light blue bars up to 600 on right y-axis over same dates sourced from FlightAware with New York Times attribution below x-axis labeled Oct 8 Oct 10 Oct 12 Oct 14
 

The White House’s Rapid Response account posted this chart, captioning it:

“You can thank a Democrat for these disruptions. They’d rather see women and children go hungry, the military go unpaid, flights delayed, and livelihoods destroyed than forego free health care for illegals.”

Couldn’t have said it better myself.

In a recent town hall, the President of the Air Traffic Controllers Association got real about just how dangerous this is.

Not only are air traffic controllers unable to feed themselves or their families while this shutdown continues, the fact that they’re not getting paid means they run the risk of working distracted.

The Left’s réponse?

Screenshot of CNN Politics article page with subscribe button, headline Another senior Democratic aide said as long as public perception is in their favor the party will not concede short of planes falling out of the sky highlighted in yellow, and subtext Winning the messaging war.
 

You can’t reason with that.

The bottom line…

Republicans have made it clear: they want the government open. Thune has already guaranteed a vote

But Democrats would rather dig in their heels for political points than do the right thing for the American people.

It’s sad, but it’s reality, and Americans can see right through the talking points.

A screenshot of a news article from The Hill with the headline More people are starting to blame Democrats for shutdown by Sarah Fortinsky dated October 7 at 4:47 PM, featuring the publications logo and byline details.
 

The problem is, Dems don’t have any real demands or grievances, besides the self-inflicted ones I mentioned.

Speaker Johnson laid this out nicely when asked what he was doing to negotiate with the Left.

“I don’t have anything to negotiate.”

That’s not a hardline stance, he’s being literal.

The temporary funding bill wasn’t loaded with partisan priorities— there’s nothing to take off to appease the Democrats.

Republicans want to reopen the government, but there’s nothing they can do without 7 or 8 Democrat votes.

So here we are stuck in a government shutdown that’s hurting the American people.

If we had an honest media that wasn’t just an extension of the Democrats, maybe they could get to the bottom of it.

But of course that’s wishful thinking, so this is where we’re left.

The bottom line?

Democrats need to get their act together.
