Empty Bench

So, how does it portend for the democrats in light of last week's elections?

Aaron Blake, writer for the Washington Post, points out that the results of last Tuesday’s election portend a much brighter future for Republicans than many had assumed. He notes that more than two-thirds of state legislatures across the nation will be controlled by the GOP, a factor that may prove as important as the 7-seat gain in the Senate and the biggest advantage in the House in the last century.

[...]The unforeseen gubernatorial victories in Massachusetts, Maryland, and Illinois were an astonishing gain for the GOP and, according to Blake, “basically assured that Democrats would have very little influence over state governments across the United States.” The Dems have an empty bench.

Depressed Michelle Obama "Holed Up" In Bedroom

WASHINGTON (WNB) - White House sources say a depressed First Lady Michelle Obama has been locked in her bedroom since Tuesday night with a quantity of Ben & Jerry's 'Chunky Monkey' ice cream and several canned hams.

"Barry and Mooch had a big argument and she locked herself in the bedroom. I know she's still in there because I hear her farting," said the source.

Republicans Clean House

"to crush your enemies, to see them fall at your feet -- to take their horses and goods and hear the lamentation of their women. That is best."

Sorry Conan, Genghis said it first.

It's nice to exult over a victory, but now it's time to turn up the heat under all those RINO's.

Get rid of ObamaCare.
Get rid of Common Core.
Restore military spending.
Secure our borders and drive the illegals out of the country.
Put the Benghazi, IRS and Fast n' Furious felons behind bars.

And that's just to start.

Hopefully he'll get it again when the polls close tomorrow evening.

The Dirt From Holder's DoJ Just Won't Quit

Once again the FBI is being used to influence elections, this time in South Dakota's Senatorial race.

Why on earth would the FBI announce an “active” investigation potentially involving a GOP candidate for Senate just before the election? If you answered, “Because Eric Holder’s Justice Department supervises the FBI,” you might be on to something. This stinks, especially because, as Ryan Lovelace of NRO reports,

Jeff Lanza, who worked for the FBI for more than 20 years, tells National Review Online that the acknowledgement of an investigation is a breach of FBI protocol unless a public official has made the investigation public, knowledge of the investigation is already widespread, or the public admission serves a law-enforcement function. Lanza tells NRO that it remains unclear whether the investigation met any of these standards, and he says he is surprised by the bureau’s acknowledgement of the ongoing investigation. “It’s highly unusual that you would acknowledge an investigation into a political figure who is running for office in an upcoming election,” he says. “I think it deserves an explanation, because it does come off as potentially political when you announce an investigation in a candidate who’s running for office.”

Remember the 2008 elections and the FBI and DoJ's role in the

"unethical and illegal prosecution of Senator Ted Stevens, in which case exculpatory evidence was illegally withheld, and the senator lost his seat, prior to be being exonerated..."

Story here and here:

I know several assistant US Attorneys, even worked with them on a few projects, and they're decent, honorable men. But man, this s**t really stinks.
