Republican Matt Van Epps Holds On to Win the Tennessee 7 Special Election, But It's A Much Closer Race Than We'd've Hoped
Trump won the district by 22 points in 2024.
Van Epps won by about nine points. The Democrats are hysterical and frantic and absolutely energized to kill us at the polls -- and maybe in real life too. And too many Republicans, and especially too many Trump supporters, are content with the 2024 win and don't really care about the Democrats winning Congress back and impeaching Trump in the first month of 2026.Gerrymandering is becoming a very tricky thing for us. When you gerrymander to increase the number of seats you could win, you necessarily increase the number of seats you can lose. There's no way around that. Gerrymandering for numbers involves drawing districts which have scant majorities of your voters. You spread your voters around so that you can win with thin margins in as many districts as possible. But doing this means that in a bad year, you lose many of those districts you've drawn to have thin margins. Your deliberately-thin margin of victory turns into a loss. Does that mean we shouldn't redistrict? No, because control of the House is a very binary thing. It kind of doesn't matter if you lose the House by ten seats or thirty seats. Either way, you have lost the power to bring bills in for a vote, or block them from a vote, and of course Democrats are intensely partisan hive-mind bug people who will all vote in lockstep so even a majority of two seats for the Democrats is a guaranteed majority in every important vote. There are effectively no more swing districts or moderate Congressmen... except on the GOP side. But given our performance so far, I think it's now guaranteed that we will lose the House by thirty seats, unless something changes bigly, and I don't know what that could be. Trump has attracted new voters, yes, but these voters... don't really vote. Meanwhile, a new poll released by the Democrats shows that Ken Paxton is leading shameless RINO traitor John Cornyn.
Republicans won Tuesday's special election in Tennessee. But instead of celebrating, many are dreading what it means about the midterms. Republican Rep.-elect Matt Van Epps' roughly nine point win marks a massive shift toward Democrats from 2024, when President Donald Trump carried the district by 22 points. That double digit swing -- on the heels of crushing losses in off-year elections in November -- could be a harbinger of what House Republicans will face in the midterms next year, members and strategists warned, as they seek to hold on to their narrow control of the chamber. "Tonight is a sign that 2026 is going to be a bitch of an election cycle," said one House Republican, granted anonymity to speak candidly. "Republicans can survive if we play team and the Trump administration officials play smart. Neither is certain." Democrat Aftyn Behn's overperformance in the Tennessee special election -- which attracted millions of dollars in spending and national attention in its final days -- continues a trend of concerning electoral results for the GOP. Earlier this year, Democrats saw big overperformances in losses in other special elections in deep-red seats, and last month they swept a slate of critical off-year elections, including gubernatorial races in Virginia and New Jersey. In the wake of those victories, some Republicans urged the White House to retool its political message to better engage moderate voters and independents who broke for Trump in the presidential election. "I'm glad we won. But the GOP should not ignore the Virginia, New Jersey and Tennessee elections," Rep. Don Bacon (R-Neb.), who is retiring from his swingy Omaha-based district, said. "We must reach swing voters. America wants some normalcy."
Why did the Democrats release this poll? PPP is a bad polling outfit that pumps out crap polls, so we shouldn't put much stock in this poll either way; but why are the Democrats releasing it? Presumably they want to make trouble and influence the primary vote, but influence it how? Are they trying to gin up support for Cornyn, the liberal? Or are they trying to depress his voters in the belief that Ken Paxton, the actual conservative, would be easier for Jasmine Ratchet to defeat in the general election? I don't know. Neither seem like very compelling ops to me. But Cornyn is claiming the poll is rigged by Democrats to hurt him.

Cornyn has led several recent polls; his campaign adviser Matt Mackowiak said the incumbent senator will win and that "Democrats are desperate to run against fatally flawed homewrecker Ken Paxton and cost the GOP a critically valuable Senate seat and as much as $200M in the general election." Lauren French, a Senate Majority PAC spokeswoman, called that response "weak, half-hearted spin."

Robby StarbuckWelcome to Wednesday. The word Wednesday comes from the Old Norse word "Wednyss," meaning "the hump of the workweek." Whoops! I was so focused on writing posts I forgot to post this one at 12:10. I'm telling you, I think this creatine actually improves focus.
@robbystarbuck Some will be mad at me for this but I say it out of love for our country... We won the TN special election by less than we should have. If you've been to this area, you know it should have been a blowout. And this isn't a knock on Matt Van Epps. He had lower name ID to begin with and did a good job pulling it out. A lesser candidate would have made it a real nail biter. So why was it close? Many voters are apathetic and have very little enthusiasm on our side. Why? They think our majority in Congress is failing them due to weak leadership, bad priorities & inconsistent messaging. Before I go further, I don't say this to punch my own side for fun. I don't do that. I say this because I want us to dominate for many years to come. Major time was wasted this year that should have been spent IN SESSION solving problems. We need to right the ship or voters will sink our ship in 2026. Enthusiasm from 2024 is gone. The blind trust is gone. They want action. The people in Congress need to realize that they aren't Trump and he isn't there to carry them on the ballot in 2026. They need to deliver now. And even then we likely have to run '26 like a Presidential election with Trump going around the country. I see it on the ground. Voters want to know when promises are going to be kept by Congress. They want a Congress that works as much as they do. They want the agenda they voted for in 2024 passed into law. They want the deep state held accountable. They want transparency. They want full focus on domestic issues instead of foreign issues. They want Congress to improve their lives. They want them to stop trading stocks. And they want to know what the hell Congress is actually doing for them. If our GOP majority doesn't deliver, many of these people won't vote, no matter how much they hate Democrats. I'm hearing from people who I'd describe as the Trumpiest people I met from 2016-2024 who straight up won't vote in 2026 unless Congress changes to a fighting spirit this year and stacks wins on the board. These people have lost faith and feel like everything is rigged by uniparty puppets for special interests. Doesn't matter what I tell these people. I can't make most of them vote again. Neither can any other big social media account. Only ACTION from electeds will move them at this point to feel that the incumbents deserve their vote. This is exclusively a right wing problem. The left is enthusiastic just about hating us. That animates their base by itself. And many of the good things that have happened in Congress this year aren't even reaching the ears or eyeballs of average voters because the messaging is soft and inconsistent. Everyone needs a gut check and to tell the truth NOW to right the ship or they're going to get a much larger gut check in November 2026 when we lose the House majority and go through another stupid impeachment hoax. Voters feel like they've shown up time and time again for politicians but that politicians aren't showing up for them by running on the same promises every election but then never delivering them. That goes for both sides but the left has enthusiasm simply from their base hating Trump. Our side needs to actually motivate our people to vote. Congress needs a hard look in the mirror and to get to work on fixing this NOW. Our majority CAN fix this. Now the question of 2026 is this: Will they? I sure hope so because the alternative is dark. It's time to get to work.

The victory almost perfectly matched the partisan makeup of the district.
If you want this to mean something greater, it means that we're in a D+1 environment, very far from anything like a wave.
Except...special elections don't mean shit because turnout of 33% just can't be equated to turnout of 75-85% like the midterms will be.
OH-6 went through this game just last year.
2022 - R won by 35.
2024 special - R won by 9.
Oh no! A D swing of 26! Republicans are cooked!
2024 - R won by 33 (and Trump won the state and the "popular vote")

Ultimately, the problem is politics is the lefts religion and the most meaningful aspect of their existence, not so much conservatives who just want to live their lives and not be an constant state of hysterical political agitation.
Having said that, I don't think I've ever not voted in any election down to dog catcher, I'm sure I have, but I would have to sit down with a bottle of Scotch and really give it a think.

True or not, we're going to flog that narrative until next fall. Hopefully we still have the mechanisms in place to make use of it.

"And too many Republicans, and especially too many Trump supporters, are content with the 2024 win and don't really care about the Democrats winning Congress back and impeaching Trump in the first month of 2026."
I said this last night and I do not disagree with the sentiment, but this kind of thing is often relayed not as 'This was too close so we need to do x, y and z...' but rather 'This happened, we suck, we will always suck, the commies will win, no hope, go fuck an aardvark. etc etc.'
This gets old, if you have to make the fucking observation, fine- but do not just be a fucking Eeyore but offer some form of constructive advice or just shut your black pill bitch ass up.
We win, we start kicking each other in the balls. We lose we start kicking each other in the balls. We win, this just plays into dems hands. We lose, well the dems are inevitable and we should just fucking eat a bullet now.
I get fucking tired of it.

A special election is about who is most interested in voting.
Republicans mostly have what they want, so they aren't interested right now.
THAT is the only salient point for 2026- how do Republicans give their voters a reason to be excited. Because I'm not excited about most of the back-stabbing grifters who represent the Republican party.
Trump needs to nationalize the election and get a platform that EVERY Republican will swear to vote on like the Contract with America.
It worked once, it can work again. We have the most unique politician of my lifetime in Trump. He can't make the left any more energized to stop him. He needs to get his base energized to help him.

------
The media is never going to show the Republican held congress in a good light. So the voters need to feel/see the difference of having the GOP in control. I know the margins are so close that they can't get much done or go to bold but whatever they are doing is not working.

However this TN election doesn't bother me from that standpoint. Nashville is a city. Most cities have a bunch of leftists. I don't think this one is a harbinger of what's to come though.
But inflation and price levels are going to be a thing.

the Left wants Cornyn. OF COURSE. Cornyn is lying in their service. OF COURSE. it's simple. The Left (which Cornyn is, de facto) wants Paxton to not be the nominee. that way they win either way.
As far as the special, it's a special. TN voted right. It went well. Not going to start eeyoring about that. The Left would NOT. they poured a LOT into that special. now they can still "win" by making us miserable about ... a win?!?!

I've been assured by people here that Epps winning by 40% (!) of Trump's margin only two years ago means ABSOLUTELY NOTHING, NO SIR NO WAY NO HOW, DON'T EVEN THINK ABOUT IT.
I think these people are somewhere between optimistic and delusional. I think we are in trouble. We have no voter turnout, no enthusiasm, nothing that drives voters to the polls other than Trump being on the ballot. We seem to think we mobilized for Trump in 2024, and so our work is done.
Meanwhile, the Democraps are mobilized like D-Day and spending every waking moment planning their comeback. Some of us spend more time shooting each other in circular firing squads than we do fighting Democraps.
If we don't turn this around, the midterms are gonna be a bloodbath.

39 I think these people are somewhere between optimistic and delusional. I think we are in trouble. We have no voter turnout, no enthusiasm, nothing that drives voters to the polls other than Trump being on the ballot. We seem to think we mobilized for Trump in 2024, and so our work is done.
Meanwhile, the Democraps are mobilized like D-Day and spending every waking moment planning their comeback. Some of us spend more time shooting each other in circular firing squads than we do fighting Democraps.
If we don't turn this around, the midterms are gonna be a bloodbath.

I'm not a huge Starbuck fan, but he nails that. Contrary to what all too many people on the right seem to think, no one owes us their vote. We have to earn it.
They should look at the Brit Conservative Party to see what happens after you've screwed your base one time too many. (Contrary to what some think, Starmer didn't really win a landslide by garnering tons of votes. Conservatives just sat it out.) The Republicans are not that far from that fate.

The media is never going to show the Republican held congress in a good light. So the voters need to feel/see the difference of having the GOP in control. I know the margins are so close that they can't get much done or go to bold but whatever they are doing is not working.

Or they could TRY to go bold and get things done, and that lack of enthusiasm would go back to where it was last year.
As for "media," if the R party loses any number of the VERY influential online personalities who came out for them last year, it will make a huge difference.

THAT is the only salient point for 2026- how do Republicans give their voters a reason to be excited. Because I'm not excited about most of the back-stabbing grifters who represent the Republican party.
Trump needs to nationalize the election and get a platform that EVERY Republican will swear to vote on like the Contract with America.
--------
That's exactly right. The GOP/GOPe need to get off their collective asses and study Trump--he fights, and he wins. He also wants and openly campaigns for things and issues that WE WANT. "We" come out and vote for Trump because he comes out and advocates for us. The same isn't true of the GOP/GOPe--they only want the grift to continue.

I don't think these non-General polls particularly affect the vote one way or the other. What percent of actual voters will even hear about the poll or give a fuck. Think about it. People want food and gas and that's about it. They have no idea what the fuck is going on with anything let alone being influenced by some PPP poll. If it's not on Dancing With the Stars they won't know about it. Which is why the Democrats have had to make everything political.

The other complaints about Eeyores are correct. Quoting some online dude who claims we should have won a special election by 16 gorillion votes is a waste of time.
Some people around here need to face the fact that they enjoy being miserable. It soothes a weird "Last of the Romans/Last Ride of the Rohirrim" itch a lot of conservatives have. Keep it to yourself. Drink a whiskey or something. In person you might be tolerable but online you are insufferable.

It's an R+10 district not an R+22 district. Basically, Van Epps performed to an expected outcome.
After weeks of hearing how Democrats were going to flip the seat and every major Democrat descended on the district to rally the troops and pour millions of dollars into the race they got their asses handed to them.
Why should Van Epps, a guy with no name recognition running for an open seat, have done better? He still had to contend with the zombie voters in Nashville that would vote D for a dry dog turd and still hit the target. He's not Trump. Nobody is. Expecting him to perform to that level is not realistic.
Congress absolutely has to get it's shit together and start producing at a higher level but I don't see this as predictive of anything other than R's held a seat they should by a level they should. If anything, it's a positive sign.

Lose the House by 30? Any specific real analysis behind that? Not up on all the redistricting scoreboard as of today, but don't have the impression that a Dem win is guaranteed at all.
And on the TN seat - what's the long-term partisan % margin there? 2024, or any year Trump is on the ballot, is an outlier by definition. Plus presidential cycles are different for almost all outcomes in every district. Guessing 9%, in a special election, is pretty standard.

The Democrats are hysterical and frantic and absolutely energized to kill us at the polls -- and maybe in real life too.
---------------
Follow the out-of-state (and -country) millions of GloboHomo & Deep State Color Revolution dollars -- coupled with decades of systemic ingrained blue shithole city election fraud -- and it looks like suppressed Republican turnout.
As an Arizonan, ask me how I know and why -- in this deeply red state (outside of the three state university blue shithole cities and their respective counties), we keep "electing" Democrat-Communist US Senators and Governors

I think we panicked about TN7 (I know I did a little)…. In the end the result was correct and special elections aren’t predictive anyway…. Call me foolishly optimistic but I think republicans keep control of both chambers next year.. the house by an eyelash due to redistricting…. Trump having a “convention” and the 250 hoopla will help

Because hot takes are what gets attention, not sober analysis because influencers and media lose their audience by that time. I am no fan of GOP campaign apparatus and their feeble state and local parties but here, Van Epps won a race by 9 in a +10 GOP district according to Cook's Political Reporting and most of the 'hits' by the Van Epps campaign came late while Behn had already banked her early votes before the hits (you saw that when she jumped to an early lead).
Trump consistently overperforms getting people to the polls consistently which is why I think he won in 2020. No previous president has ever gained votes in a reelection from the first election and lost.
That being said, traditionally the GOP did not have to have a ground game like the Dems. Now the party bases have swapped (college educated and wealthy voters moving left), broader GOP coalition, GOTV is imperative for Team Red.

92 Lose the House by 30? Any specific real analysis behind that? Not up on all the redistricting scoreboard as of today, but don't have the impression that a Dem win is guaranteed at all.
And on the TN seat - what's the long-term partisan % margin there? 2024, or any year Trump is on the ballot, is an outlier by definition. Plus presidential cycles are different for almost all outcomes in every district. Guessing 9%, in a special election, is pretty standard.

Look up the last three elections in OH-6.
2022 - R+35
2024 special - R+9
2024 - R+33
Small turnouts do not predict regular turnout. They just don't.
And the House will probably move less than 10 seats next year. A D win, even a big D win, would probably net them, maybe, 15 seats. The big effect of the 2020 census redistricting has been to reduce the number of actual purple-ish seats to a bare minimum.
Plus, the poll averages will probably move 4-5 points to the right in the next 10 months.

85 It's an R+10 district not an R+22 district. Basically, Van Epps performed to an expected outcome.
After weeks of hearing how Democrats were going to flip the seat and every major Democrat descended on the district to rally the troops and pour millions of dollars into the race they got their asses handed to them.
Why should Van Epps, a guy with no name recognition running for an open seat, have done better? He still had to contend with the zombie voters in Nashville that would vote D for a dry dog turd and still hit the target. He's not Trump. Nobody is. Expecting him to perform to that level is not realistic.
Congress absolutely has to get it's shit together and start producing at a higher level but I don't see this as predictive of anything other than R's held a seat they should by a level they should. If anything, it's a positive sign.

Same hand wringing we had with Beto vs Cruz.
Same scenario with the Left throwing everything they had out of state to support the Lefty retard.
After Cruz won , the hand wringers continued to doomsay that the margin showed Texas was on the verge of turning blue.

Cringe voting graphic: https://tinyurl.com/2ydtas5a
If you're voting republican, the polls are open tomorrow, Wednesday not today
It was always going be a steep hill. But Behn herself no favor featuring AOC at her rally.
AOC has nothing to do with the lose. It's a deep red district Republicans spent millions of dollars to win that shouldn't have required a campaign.
I LOVE AOC. When people LISTEN to her, they have more in common with her than they realize. But as a progressive woman, she's been vilified by the Reich wing to the point of being "Hillaried".
High profile NE & NY liberals and activists are not universally beloved in deep red states. Did they motivate more Dems and Indys to turn out, or more otherwise unhappy Rs?
The Trumpanzees didn’t care when our own troops were used against us. When the Department of Education was dynamited. When young girls were horribly used by wealthy men, including the Chomo In Chief. TN voters only care about being self-sufficient. Couple of beef cows in the yard little veggie plot who needs anything else. They cared only when beer, Copenhagen, and groceries cost more.

If you want to be a Pollyanna pretend we are on our way to Veto proof dominance and can change the Constitution the actual formally legal way not the lawfare way.

--------------
Being honest, I think a good thing for Cornyn to lose, but it will make the general election tighter. Cornyn would win in the general easily. Paxton or Hunt would win more narrowly - and both have the potential to lose. If the Dems run Jasmine, they will lose no matter what. A smarter Dem party - does that exist - would run a more center minded candidate.

Starbuck is correct. Our side doesn't have the killer instinct. Their side does.
They will crawl through the glass to vote for their candidate more than we will. Van Epps should've blown the hatec*nt out of the water, but he didn't. And we won't in November because our side really is the Stupid Party. Our leaders are squishy and so are our voters.
"Candidate X ISN'T PERFECT!!!" So they don't even vote and hand the seat to a D.
It's f*cking retarded. This is why we can't have nice things.
It's like the 4 years of Biden and the previous 8 years of Owebama didn't scare the holy hell out of us ENOUGH, where we defeat the D NO MATTER WHAT.
I mean, enjoying the Fetterman administration? 100% D votes is SOOOOO much better than an 85% Oz vote for R (or whatever he would've done, we'll never know).
Elections have consequences. F*cking around and letting the D's take over will REALLY lead to finding out it's too late.

Depends on the 2026 economy and other events. Late Spring/Early Summer or so is when to concentrate as feelings start to gel politically. We will know how many retirements, their replacements, the new district lines more or less, and whether the blue states are being forced to pare voting rolls and Scotus decisions that affect the field take place.
GOP has some headwinds, but a strong growing economy and job gains among citizens plus lower fuel prices might alleviate the typical midterm slump.

121 The Trumpanzees didn’t care when our own troops were used against us. When the Department of Education was dynamited. When young girls were horribly used by wealthy men, including the Chomo In Chief. TN voters only care about being self-sufficient. Couple of beef cows in the yard little veggie plot who needs anything else. They cared only when beer, Copenhagen, and groceries cost more.

Secondly, yes. People don't give a shit about your boutique issues. They care about feeding their families.

Call it a "Breakfast Skillet" and they'd eat it with both hands.
Breakfast skillet is completely different - it doesn't have a pie crust.
And requires hashbrowns.

Conservatives pay attention to politics for a few weeks leading up the a presidential trial election then go away. For the next 4 years.
The left lives and breathes politics 24/7/365. It’s hard to compete with that.

Give the new voting base a reason to get out there and vote for you. They have a reason to vote for Trump. Congress needs to give them a reason to vote for Congress. They need to see positive action in the things that matter to them.

I agree but the problem is not the House, but the GOP majority in the Senate.
You gotta have both a ground game and a reason to vote. People like to be asked, not bombarded by robocalls, mailers, negative ads, and other tedious GOP campaign tactics. GOP never really had to develop much retail politics as they relied on the fact that their base voted reliably (SES, etc. reasons). Now campaigns need to specifically reach out and touch individual voters, move to banking early votes from occasional voters, wean GOP types off from voting only on Election Day (see AZ in 2022 and PA in the recent retention election as to why), and fight fraud from the Dems.
It also means going out to new communities like Trump does to convert new voters from people that would normally not vote GOP. Back in the day, Jack Kemp did that well but was saddled in with an aging Senatorial dud on the top of the ticket just like Sarah Palin was.

We've become a culture of immediate gratification and there is a lot Congress needs to do but if the economy starts to improve, jobs start returning because of the economy and Juan going home, people feel tax cuts and more the entire environment changes.

Beto actually got kind of close to Cruz (3 point loss) and married into money anyway to help back him within DNC discussions.
However, three embarrassing losses later, and he's nothing.
This TN chick underperformed in a special election (D's should have advantages right now in special elections, but getting one point better than PVI is...underperforming). No one in the party will care about her.

There is also an element of timing at play. Congress did pass the BBB which includes lot of things like tax cuts that won't be felt until next year.
—
There were no new tax cuts. They just made permanent the 2017 cuts. The average person isn’t going to see a cut in their taxes next year.
Maybe the exception is the increase in the child credit but that’s $500 per kid. Family with 2 kids gets $1k. $20 a paycheck. Not exactly life changing money or enough to vote one way or the other.

Posted by: man at December 03, 2025 12:40 PM (XuXeR)
Yes, exactly. The dirty little secret the fake media doesn't mention is the redistricting in 2022 split heavily Democratic Nashville across districts, adding the city's northwestern portion—mostly majority-Black precincts—to the 7th District while shifting some rural counties to the 8th District.
This made the district less solidly Republican, leading to tighter races like the 2025 special election
Oh no no no, dont mention that!

"Democrat Aftyn Behn's overperformance in the Tennessee special election -- which attracted millions of dollars in spending and national attention in its final days -- continues a trend of concerning electoral results for the GOP. "
Yes, there are 100K idiots who vote for someone who hates the town they live in. However, Behn didn't overperform as much as the media would have us believe. As we know, there is a cohort that would vote for a bowl of poop as long as they had the (D) behind them.
I also wouldn't worry too much about Trump. His plan was always - always - to have a slump in our economy between the outsource and onshoring regimes. Tariffs were always going to be the bridge to help the gov't between those periods, and the BBB was always meant to give regular people a lifeline and companies an incentive to accelerate onshoring. That plan was always supposed to kick in by the midterms in a way that was evident to the electorate. The only ones in the way were going to be the judges, the Dems, the media, and the weak sisters in the R party that didn't see the goal line that was starkly evident for all who wanted to look.
I'm not worried about Trump at all. At. All.

CBD, Green was an incumbent which is about worth 5 percentage points due to favors given and received if your congressional office is halfway competent at constituency services. He also had much more money than Kelly who was a black sassy female with no money nor much backing. Abortion Barbie part two, had millions and probably with dark money outspent Van Epps two to one. Plus she represented part of the district as a sitting state House rep. Then the Epps media hits on Abortion Barbie redux were late affecting her vote little (banking early votes is why), Van Epps is apparently a generic GOP candidate, and his campaign relied too heavily on the traditional negative ads, robocalls, fliers, endorsement campaigns that rally the faithful but doesn't really move the needle much in a holiday season.
He did about as expected for a non incumbent winning by 9 as a generic GOP candidate in a GOP +10 district (not the ridiculous +22 bullshit). See normal vote (Phillip Converse) and how it is calculated if you want to understand Cook ratings.

Happy, perky, actual handwritten and signed by an individual female asking them to vote for their "friend" and seeing if they voted yet. That's all the mail they get...but for LIV young women, they don't get R mail, so the personalized D touch (and they sometimes gets 3-4 of these from 3-4 different women, not the candidate) is proving very effective.

I'm going to need more explanation why 2025 is the same as 2024 in this district.
Because others are saying that it's a redrawn district from 2024.
And, if so, the "but Trump won by 22!!" is completely irrelevant.
Worrying about winning a +10 district b/c we "only" won it by 9% is BS.
Dems are all, "sure we lost, but it was closer than is should have been--so we really won!"
Rs are all, "sure we won but it was closer than it should have been--so we really lost!"
And, of course, from last month, the Rs: "Sure we lost seats we were guaranteed to lose--so we really, really lost!!"

How do you feel about balut?
Balut is a popular Filipino delicacy made from fertilized duck eggs that are incubated for approximately 17 to 18 days, allowing the embryo to develop partially while still being edible.
They boil the egg, then sell it as street food. Just crack it open, throw on some salt and seasoning, and nibble away as you go about your day.

🚨🚨 MASSIVE DEVELOPMENT IN OBAMAGATE — TULSI GABBARD JUST WENT NUCLEAR
Director of National Intelligence Tulsi Gabbard has confirmed that MORE DOCUMENTS exposing Barack Obama’s leadership role in the Russiagate hoax will be released THIS WEEK.
And that’s not all.
Tulsi has now officially referred Barack Hussein Obama to the DOJ for CRIMINAL PROSECUTION for his role in what she calls a seditious conspiracy — an unprecedented, weaponized attack on a duly-elected President and on the Republic itself.
This is the first time a former president has faced a criminal referral for orchestrating an intelligence-operation against his political opponent.
And Obama’s reaction spoke volumes.
The man who never responds to political controversy suddenly rushed out a statement — which tells you everything.
He knows the walls are closing in.
Tulsi says we are now closer than ever to:
✅ An Obama indictment
✅ Full public disclosure of the Russiagate operation
✅ Long-awaited accountability for the architects of the hoax
✅ The first real step toward national healing after years of corruption, sabotage, and abuse
This is HUGE.
This is history.

It kind of doesn't matter if you lose the House by ten seats or thirty seats.
I disagree. Because the NEXT election becomes that much more difficult if you have to win more seats. If you can play the long game, you can overcome that. But I'm not sure the normal long game will work anymore, now that the Dems are in it for blood.

Well, one thing to consider is that when we approach the mid-terms, Trump will be ramping up the Campaign Machine. There wasn't much purpose in doing so for special elections as it is not an all encompassing event that people outside of that particular district care about directly.
The mentality for Virginia and New Jersey, for example, for most right leaners was that it was a fool's errand to assume both left leaning states would go against the grain. Virginia, specifically, had a whole lot of people with vengeance in mind having been Fed employees laid off by the current administration, or knowing someone who had been. New Jersey has been corrupt and lost for ages. It's not going to change....just get worse.

Eggs were listed in the “Meat” category in the good ole USDA Handbook #8
They are excellent, high quality protein, and are no slouch when it pertains to important vitamins and nutrients and minerals. They are versatile, and used in a great many recipes. Ordinarily they are pretty inexpensive. Incredible edible egg indeed.
“Eggs are bad” coincided with the early 70s monetary inflation. Almost overnight Americans couldn’t afford dairy, meat, etc. Politically a problem.
Little wonder the official guidance also changed. Fake foods, ersatz crap is healthier! Science!

Dems are getting better then normal non-presidential election year turn out.
Sorry, this isn't real, its 100% fraud.
Anyone in the GOP going to spend any effort on this?
Also, even with Trump intervening we are not getting the same level of turn out.
I think the big problem is congress isn't doing or even saying much.
Trump can reach out to unlikely R leaning voters. The GOP needs Johnson to DO things so he to can make them think they need to go vote.
And yes, this means even if it fails but at least TRY.

Republicans are going to lose the House, it’s just how these things go. Voters are stupid.
If Kamala had won, Republicans would probably net 30+ seats in 2026

They are all acting in their own personal self interest. They do not care if they are in the minority because they still get funding and power to grift and graft.
There needs to be a way to punish congressmen who fail their constituency. The Left has if figured out -- if you are a good soldier for their progressivim they reward you even if you lose an election. They always have that carrot to motivate them.

This is the problem that Elon Musk found when he started DOGE: the incentives of the budget cutters are completely misaligned with the incentives of Congresscritters.
The job of DC is to pass legislation. That's it. They are not incentivized to pass good laws, or to eliminate bad ones. Both Ds and Rs are there to pass legislation, and 'do something' and give bennies to their consitutents, whom they ultimately answer to in the voting booth. Only Silent Cal was ever rewarded for doing different.

Trump could help here -- I think he could do a better job pushing what legislation we need.
He does all his work behind the scenes, or in tweets. His speeches are never deep or motivating.
Reagan would work the bully pulpit to tell congress what to do, and I think if Trump did that, and legislation got passed, people would be more motivated to reelect the thieving bastards.

Sorry, but I don't understand the GOP hysteria about yesterday's election.
Van Epps is a rookie who won a crowded primary, meaning he had little foundational support in the party - many otherwise reliable GOP voters felt no connection to him.
Plus, from what I've seen. he has the charisma of a moldy sponge.
And we know leftists flock to the polls to vote for anyone with a "D" after their name.
Van Epps will win the district comfortably next year.

What VA Dems have been doing (probably wildly effectively) is sending "friend postcards" to all women voters aged 18-29 in VA...and ONLY them. Happy, perky, actual handwritten and signed by an individual female asking them to vote for their "friend" and seeing if they voted yet. That's all the mail they get...but for LIV young women, they don't get R mail, so the personalized D touch (and they sometimes gets 3-4 of these from 3-4 different women, not the candidate) is proving very effective.

Both. Either way it's a win in their minds. Hunt got in it because all the money dumped for Cornyn was becoming effective, he was coming up in the polls. Hunt helped pull voters away from Commie Cornyn.

Regard to aos regulars , they are mostly who you would want in your foxhole but unfortunately a few you would never ever want with you.
You rang?

From what I was reading, turnout for TN-07 here was about the same as 2024, 99%.
So, I figure what happened was the Dem lunatic base was all fired up to put the AWFL witch in and stick it to Orange Man Bad, and our voters were more "meh" and didn't show up as much.
That district is red enough that our underperformance vs their lunatic base overperformance didn't matter, and we still one by a little less than half the margin.

Yes, yes, yes! And Republican 2026 candidates need to run behind Trump, build on it, and not be afraid to do so. Run on Trumps economic and social platform..

Just what the hell is it that Tucker Carlson wants? What is his vision for America? I don't think brown-shirt frat boys are going to catch on, and how does boosting the Democrats, even indirectly, bring us closer to a better society? Maybe it is all just grift, although I think he's going to be looking at some seriously diminishing returns before too long. But then I hear he's got plenty of family money, so is it really the financial part of the grift that makes his crazy world go 'round? Baffled in Brunswick County.

Apparently my posts from home "show up" and then disappear. I sent a couple of "flares" up from home last night in the overnight thread and apparently two regulars here saw and quoted my posts, but the posts themselves no longer showed in the thread at the time (or now).

20 "And too many Republicans, and especially too many Trump supporters, are content with the 2024 win and don't really care about the Democrats winning Congress back and impeaching Trump in the first month of 2026."
I said this last night and I do not disagree with the sentiment, but this kind of thing is often relayed not as 'This was too close so we need to do x, y and z...' but rather 'This happened, we suck, we will always suck, the commies will win, no hope, go fuck an aardvark. etc etc.'
This gets old, if you have to make the fucking observation, fine- but do not just be a fucking Eeyore but offer some form of constructive advice or just shut your black pill bitch ass up.
We win, we start kicking each other in the balls. We lose we start kicking each other in the balls. We win, this just plays into dems hands. We lose, well the dems are inevitable and we should just fucking eat a bullet now.
I get fucking tired of it.

He wants to game the algorthim on social media. You do that by being controversial. I don't think he really has deeply-held beliefs. It's all a grift.

Posted by: Cow Demon at December 03, 2025 01:09 PM (6KcYW)
Paxton has a wreck of a personal life, but he's a fighter and he loves to throw the punches that all of the "decent people" are too scared and proper to ever throw. He's a street fighter, with all the personal flaws that all street fighters have. Some people (like me) are fine with that so long as he directs his efforts at my enemies. Some people are too much into their own perceived goodness to accept supporting a bad man who does good things.

My analysis of the TN race from last night
So we beat the commie in TN by 9 points? That's pretty solid, but last election we won by 22.
Looking at recent past elections:
R v D
2025: 97K v 81K
2024: 192K v 123K
2022: 108K v 69K
So...the Ds continue to get the same or better numbers as they do in non-presidential national elections in these special elections. Which points a bright shining finger at fraud.
It does look like Trump's intervention did get us closer to normal off year turn out here, but the GOP has to figure out how to do this without Trump having to get personally involved.

"I'm hearing from people who I'd describe as the Trumpiest people I met from 2016-2024 who straight up won't vote in 2026 unless Congress changes to a fighting spirit this year and stacks wins on the board. These people have lost faith and feel like everything is rigged by uniparty puppets for special interests."
