Elections have consequences, and the results that have been coming in from all over the country during this primary season are making it very clear where both major political parties are heading. For the Democrats, we have seen a number of progressive candidates win extremely impressive victories lately, and that includes knocking off a couple moderate Democrats that had been serving in Congress for a very long time. On the other side, conservative challengers have been soundly defeated by moderate Republicans over and over again. As funny as this may sound, both parties appear to be moving in the same direction at this point. Both parties appear to be moving to the left, and that has fundamental implications for the future of this nation.
This week, we witnessed a couple more examples which demonstrate how powerful the progressive movement has become. In 2018, radical leftist Rashida Tlaib squeaked out an incredibly close victory over moderate Democrat Brenda Jones in a primary contest in Michigan, but things were completely different for this yearâs rematch.
With about 90 percent of the vote in, Tlaib had almost twice as many votes as Jones didâŠ
Ms. Tlaib, 44, defeated Brenda Jones, 60, the president of the Detroit City Council, The Associated Press reported on Wednesday morning. With 90 percent of votes counted, Ms. Tlaib had 66 percent of the vote to Ms. Jonesâs 34 percent.
Frankly, I was stunned by her margin of victory.
After all of the outrageous things that Tlaib has done and said over the past couple of years, it boggles the mind that there are so many people that would be willing to vote for her.
But this is where America is headed.
And considering the fact that she is in one of the most liberal districts in the country, there is absolutely no chance that Tlaib will be defeated in the general election.
Meanwhile, we just witnessed a progressive candidate pull off an absolutely spectacular upset down in Missouri.
Representative William Lacy Clay has served 10 terms in Congress, and prior to that his father had held the same seat going all the way back to 1969. But on Tuesday, Missouri voters decided to send a radical political activist named Cori Bush to Congress instead of himâŠ
Cori Bush, a onetime homeless woman who led protests following a white police officerâs fatal shooting of a black 18-year-old in Ferguson, ousted longtime Rep. William Lacy Clay Tuesday in Missouriâs Democratic primary, ending a political dynasty that has spanned more than a half-century.
I donât know how that could have possibly happened, but it did.
Bushâs victory is being compared to another stunning upset which happened last month in New Yorkâs 16th Congressional District. Somehow, progressive Jamaal Bowman was able to defeat Representative Eliot Engel, and that result sent shockwaves through the Democratic establishment in Washington.
Engel has served in Congress for 16 terms, and he probably thought that he would hold on to that position for as long as he wished.
But the progressives came after him, and they were able to take him down.
And next week the progressives will have a couple more opportunities to score big winsâŠ
Next week, squad member Rep. Ilhan Omar of Minnesota will face a challenge from a well-funded opponent, Antone Melton-Meaux. On Sept. 1, progressive Alex Morse, the 31-year-old mayor of Holyoke, Massachusetts, will try to knock off Rep. Richard Neal, one of the most powerful House Democrats.
On the Republican side, we just witnessed another strong conservative go down in flames.
On Tuesday, Roger Marshall crushed former Secretary of State Kris Kobach to win the Republican Senate primary in Kansas.
Kobach is deeply hated by the liberals in the media because of his firm stance against illegal immigration. During his time as Secretary of State, he pushed for a law ârequiring voters to provide proof of citizenship to register to voteââŠ
Kansas quietly filed its petition last week with the U.S. Supreme Court to reinstate Kris Kobachâs signature policy requiring voters to provide proof of citizenship to register to vote.
Kansas Attorney General Derek Schmidt and Kansas Secretary of State Scott Schwabâs office announced in June their plans to file the petition with the high court after a federal judge struck down the law in 2018. That decision was upheld by the 10th Circuit Court of Appeals this year.
What is wrong with that?
Doesnât it just make sense that people should be able to prove that they are eligible to vote before they are allowed to vote?
But that got him on the bad side of a whole lot of people, and now his political career is probably done for good.
What happened to Kobach wouldnât be so bad if conservatives were winning elsewhere, but that just isnât happening, and the number of true conservatives in Congress has dwindled to a depressingly low number. At this point there is Rand Paul and a handful of others, and they are vastly outnumbered by the âmoderatesâ in the Republican Party.
Of course there are plenty of Republicans that still use the term âconservativeâ to describe themselves, but their voting records suggest otherwise.
Just look at what has been going on during this COVID-19 pandemic. Republicans and Democrats have worked together to authorize all sorts of radical socialist programs, spending trillions of dollars and exploding the size of the national debt in the process. Meanwhile, yet again this year both parties voted to shower Planned Parenthood with hundreds of millions of dollars and to fully fund a whole host of other radical social engineering programs which promote the agenda of the radical left.
Just about every single bill that gets through Congress is an abomination. The reason why Ron Paul earned the nickname of âDr. Noâ before he retired was because there were very, very few bills that he could actually vote yes on.
If those representing you in Congress vote yes on most of the bills that get approved, that is a clear indication that they need to be voted out as soon as possible.
Because if America stays on the path that it is currently on, there isnât going to be an America.
Sadly, voices like mine are in the minority, and there is so much passion and energy on the left these days.
Americans seem to have decided on the direction that they would like to see this country go, but that road certainly does not lead anywhere good.

I believe it appears this way because the Silent Majority have yet to exercise their power! Not many Conservatives and Republican’s come right out and express teir opinions because the reprisal, backlash, violence, and name calling and intimidation that must endure! Christians in particular are hesitant to argue, fight and be obnoxious when it comes to their views about Politic’s, and avoid the argument. “Turn the other Cheek” response’s! I truly believe that there is a whole lot more of Good Law abiding and peaceful loving and truthful People than not! Good always overcomes Evil, and this November I believe we will witness the largest Victory ever recorded in American History! This will be the “Shock and Awe” the Democrats and Dictator’s will be Gnashing their Teeth on and pulling out their Hair, as their Folly and Leftist Power Grab blows up in their face! God Bless America!
Steve King was also defeated in Iowa a few weeks back by RINO backed and endorsed Randy Feenstra. They have been after King for some time because of his strong conservative values, and now if Feenstra wins in November the Business Roundtable and US Chamber of Commerce will have their man in place.
