In the suburbs, longtime Democrats are more likely to be concerned about inflation and the economy, Mr. Madonna added — but it’s too soon to see if the registration numbers are a warning sign for the party’s chances.
“You have to look at the trend underway for several years in these working-class counties. Go look at the voter registration out there in the southwest. Go look at the numbers — that now have more Republicans registered than Democrats,” Mr. Madonna said. “That’s a huge change.”

Excerpt:
It is quite a mystery why so many Hispanic voters are flocking to vote Republican. Shocking, only to Democrats. After all, Democrats are the illegal immigration party. Democrats have spent decades marginalizing taco-eatingLatinx voters as only carrying about illegal immigration. Where is the gratitude?
Turns out, as MSNBC of all places tells us, Hispanic voters aren’t as race-obsessed as the mayonnaise-looking white progressive activist base wants them to be. And the Hispanic-American voters care about the same issues as every other hyphenated American group does. That includes those of us who don’t identify as hyphens.
American Enterprise Institute’s Ruy Teixeira says, in this clip, that liberals assumed Hispanic voters would fall in line after 2020’s “racial reckoning” that took place in Park Slope, Berkley, and cable newsrooms. The shift of Hispanic…

MSNBC national political correspondent Steve Kornacki warned Democrats that Hispanics are continuing their mass exodus from their party ahead of the crucial midterm elections.
“One of the major stories to emerge from the 2020 election was the shift we saw in the Hispanic vote,” Kornacki said on a segment Monday.
“You know what? The trend seems to be continuing in 2022. What you’re looking at here, this is the average of every poll we’ve got out there that’s been taken over the last three months that looks at the Hispanic vote,” Kornacki said.
According to the MSNBC report, support for Democrats among Hispanics has fallen to only 48% while support for Republicans has risen to 35%, for a net margin of 13%.
Kornacki showed that Democrats had a large 38% margin of support by Hispanics in the 2016 election which decreased four years later to 21% in that presidential election.
“What’s going on here?” asked Kornacki.
He then interviewed Ruy Teixeira, a nonresident senior fellow…
NY SCHOOL WANTS CHILDREN TO BECOME RACE POLICE – A NY City Public School, the Lower Manhattan Community Middle School, is indoctrinating its black-majority student body to become racism-reporting agents willing to directly confront the police themselves. The school is using the book “This Book is Anti-Racist” by Tiffany Jewell.
A New York City public school encouraged students as young as 10 years old to keep a list of all the “microaggressions” they witnessed, both at school and in their own families, according to materials from the school’s curriculum reviewed by the Washington Free Beacon. The same students were also asked to list their gender identity—”cisgender,” “nonbinary,” or “trans”—as well as their sexual orientation on a graded worksheet.
The sixth-grade humanities curriculum from Lower Manhattan Community Middle School, where just 31 percent of students are white, required students to read Tiffany Jewell’s This Book Is Anti-Racist, one of only five books assigned for the 2021-2022 year. The book contains 20 lessons on “how to wake up, take action, and do the work”—including the work of confronting the police, which Jewell suggests white students can do without ending up “in jail or harmed.”

A University of California Los Angeles Williams Institute study concluded that of the 1.6 million Americans who identified as transgendered, nearly half of them are young and disproportionately from blue states. One potential reading of the study is that where the non-heteronormative norms are emphasized, more youth choose that lifestyle.
