Red, once again...

"But for today, we celebrate the national map, showing 219 Republicans. Maybe the final map will show a few more pickups. In any event, hats off to the red team. It was not a huge win, but good enough. Why? As Rod Stewart said, 'A wink is as good as a nod to a blind horse.'"

Okay. The red wave never really happened as envisioned. But - Florida flipped three congressional seats from blue to red. Without those flips, we might not have taken the House. And New York flipped four congressional seats. There were others which flipped, but not enough to raise the flag and shout it from the rooftops. But now the counting is all but over. The Republicans have 219 seats in the bag, with a few more "maybe" seats hanging out there. McCarthy is Speaker, and my Congressman, Tom Emmer, is Whip. Let the good times roll.

Am I still sad? Not as much, now that Republicans have the gavel. Why? I have a selfish interest in the red team having control. In my adult lifetime, I have never wanted someone impeached as badly as I want Mayorkas impeached. This is a bad man, who does nothing but lie and gaslight. He has put our country at great risk. I want him gone long before this year's Super Bowl. Without the Republicans taking the House, we would be stuck with Mayorkas until at least 2024.

What is going to happen in 2023? We have two Florida titans who will be contesting to be king of the hill. This could either be very good or very bad. The last thing we can stand right now, is a destructive food fight by two of our party leaders. The Democrats would love it however. For the red team, this food fight might be putting Biden in the WH for another four years. Yuck!

I always like to look at the political map of the country once an election is over. Always looks about the same. 80% red, with the caustic blue stipe running up each coast. The west coast is especially troublesome. These are the true "yellow dogs" in the country. Secular humanism at its worst. 

Now comes the most dangerous part of the current Congress. Trying to get some garbage passed, using their majority. Some legislation so bad, only grandpa will sign it. Then for the new Congress to reverse that garbage, grandpa would probably veto it. That is why the next couple of months will be dangerous.

But for today, we celebrate the national map, showing 219 Republicans. Maybe the final map will show a few more pickups. In any event, hats off to the red team. It was not a huge win, but good enough. Why? As Rod Stewart said, "A wink is as good as a nod to a blind horse."
