Republicans face big losses

Republican House Speaker Mike Johnson could plead all he wanted for voters to give him and his party more time to create more havoc and misery, but even God and Jesus couldn’t help them last Tuesday. The blowout loss the right experienced in the midterms was something I prophesied in a piece I wrote in February 2025.

At that time, most pundits thought regaining a Democratic majority in the House was conceivable, but nobody thought the same about the Senate — except me. My entire prediction was based on how catastrophic President Donald Trump's first term was, and I suspected his second would be even worse. How right I was! As positive as liberals winning control of both chambers will be, the next two years, until Trump leaves office, will be nightmarish. He will continue enriching himself, while creating chaos, all out of spite.

Trump's life has been guided by genetics, narcissism, lies, racism, misogyny, power and money. Ya gotta love America! Trump's political legacy will follow him long after his death, as presidential historians will rank him at the very bottom, and it won't even be close. James Buchanan will be very thankful.

I'd like to remind Johnson of his own belief system, which dictates nothing happens without God's will. He would do well to remember that after Nov. 3.
