Schmoll: Republicans Pull Dead Even with Democrats in Congressional Midterm Race, 50/50

Mediaite:

A stunning new survey conducted by the Center for American Political Studies at Harvard (CAPS), the Harris Poll, and HarrisX suggests that the GOP has drawn even with the Democrats with eight months to go until the midterm elections.

The poll of 1,999 registered voters, which was conducted online between February 25 and 26, found that 50% of Americans would vote for the Republican candidate in their congressional district and 50% would vote for the Democratic one if the midterms were held today. That marked an enormous improvement for the GOP, which trailed the Democrats 54%-46% on the same question last month.

Trump's job approval also ticked up by 3%:

For his part, Trump's net approval rating ticked upward from -6 last month (45%-51%) to -3, (46%-49%).

In more Schmolling news: Reports of a "MAGA split" over Iran have been greatly exaggerated.

The "split" involves the MAGA Grifters, a small but very loud group of rebranded American Bund Nazis who seem to be omnipresent because none of them have jobs and they post anti-Jewish propaganda all day online, and normie conservatives with jobs and families.

The normie conservatives are at least four times as numerous as the American Bund Nazis.

The RealClearPolitics Average showed that overall support for Operation Epic Fury, the joint military campaign undertaken by the United States and Israel over the weekend, had the president underwater a bit with 39% approving of the action and 52% disapproving.

A breakdown of some of the individual polls showed that Republicans were united on the issue, with no one poll showing more than 18% opposing military action in Iran. The vast majority of the disapproval came from Democrats -- who were also fairly united -- and, to a lesser extent, independents.

A CBS/YouGov poll taken between March 2 and March 3, for example, showed that just 10% of Democrats approved of military action in Iran and 90% disapproved. Among independents, 63% opposed the action and 37% were in favor. A majority of Republicans (85%) supported military action and just 15% did not.

A similar result came from a Washington Post poll taken on March 1, which showed Democrat opposition at 87% and support at 9%. On the Republican side, 81% approved and 12% did not -- and independents once again fell in the middle, with 59% against military action and 28% in favor of it.

A Reuters/Ipsos survey followed the same pattern, with 5% of Democrats supporting military action in Iran and 95% against it. Republicans came out largely in favor of military action, showing 82% approving and 18% disapproving. Among independents, 67% disapproved and 29% supported the action.

The apparent outlier included in the average was a poll from InsiderAdvantage taken on February 28, but it still showed similar numbers from Republicans: 79.3% in favor and 12% opposed. The numbers for Democrats shifted slightly, with 62.5% disapproving and 32.1% approving. Independents also showed much higher numbers in favor of military action, with 45.3% supporting and 40.3% opposing.

I'm definitely not saying that if you've made the unwise choice to join the ranks of the anti-intervention absolutists and Ron Paul acolytes, then you're a Nazi.

But I am saying that the Nazis are all lining up to denounce this particular military action, because the only issue that revs their engine is Israel. And they're not neutral in this war; like the left that they so closely resemble (because they're racialist lefties), they're not anti-war, they're just on the other side. They want Iran to finish that nuclear missile and drop it on the Jewish capital.

They say about the left: It doesn't matter what issue you're talking about, for a leftist, the issue is always and only about The Revolution. Every issue is just an excuse to propagandize for The Revolution.

Gay? You need communism. Trans? Communism will fix you. Black? Have you ever heard of communism?

And so it is with the pseudoright Nazis: No matter what issue is being discussed, the only issue they're interested in is, as they call it, the "JQ," the "Jewish Question," which is a euphemism. They say "JQ" because it sounds better than what the question actually is, which is the same question Hitler asked: What are we going to do with all of these unwanted Jews infiltrating our society and subverting us?

And no, I'm not going to hold back any longer. I held back for ten fucking years. I am done playing nice with the Nazis. The Nazis used to employ a small level of Plausible Deniability, so that it felt rude to accuse of them of being Nazis.

But, like the leftwing they resemble in so many ways, they aren't even bothering to hide it any longer, so I'm not going to bother being polite about it.

======

It's a slow burn thriller out of step where the slasher genre went.

It's heavily influenced by Hitchcock, building tension over the length of the film, rather than being splashy like the Friday the 13th movies pushed the genre.

Friday the 13th was largely influenced by Mario Bava's Bay of Blood. Halloween was influenced by lower key Hitchcock. They're diametrically oppositional. But, Friday the 13th actually ended up influencing everything to such a degree (and released its sequel so fast) that Halloween II really had no choice but to fall in line and become more facially gruesome.

they're also deluded in the sense that they fervently believe the country is thisclose to embracing American Bund Naziism, and if they just post the latest expose about the USS Liberty, people will finally agree about "The Jewish Question."

All of these mutants came out of the woodwork to support Trump in 2015, because, as I said in the tweet i embedded, they saw Trump as disruptive force who *could*, if he wanted, help the US understand "the Jewish Question."

They actually thought they were helping Trump by pushing Nazi propaganda and boosting Trump. When in fact, that turned a lot -- a LOT -- of people off of Trump. I remember myself being stunned and sickened to find myself in that company, wondering "have I gone way off the rails, here?"

But they think they're on the verge of popularity. They're stupid and also mentally unwell.

They were there first and not the Iranians...

Actually the kingdom of Elam preceded the Persians. That kingdom split in two with the Persians in northern Iran and Elam in southern Iran. The Persian kingdom then absorbed Elam. Numerous tribes that aren't Persian still exist in today's Iran.

well, yes. they live in their own heads and will never admit error to the system they've concocted which makes them Heroes and other people Villains, which excuses all their failures.

they cannot be wrong on this. they don't see anything that would go against this belief. so they can't change or diverge, if it gets bad for them they'll just shut up for a while (some of them).

111 Not a Bundist, but I do have these questions: Is there a plan beyond the bombing campaign? Is there a replacement puppet we can install? There are no Iranian moderates. We know that because Kerry and Obama insisted that is with whom they were dealing in the original Iran nuclear deal, and they were mercilessly ridiculed for even suggesting moderates exist. So, there has to be either a Shah or Generalissimo to put in power, or this will have been a giant waste.
Rubio stated we had to strike because we were going to face retaliation after Israel struck first. That is forfeiting your decision to go to war to an ally. If a Democrat said he started a major bombing campaign, a full-on war in all but name, under that scenario he would be ripped to shreds. In fact, I remember we had a bombing campaign in Libya under the same sort of scenario. France and Germany were going to attack without us, so we joined to be leading from behind. The result was Libya became a failed state infested with terror cells. I hope this time there is a plan.

150 Interesting that the torpedo didn't hit in the center of the hull ... I thought that's what it normally aims for.

I saw a report that two of those Iranian "stealth" catamaran corvettes pawn mentioned yesterday are out of commission - one sunk, one damaged

151 Am I mistaken or were there two torpedo blasts in quick succession?

Posted by: Insensitive Clod at March 04, 2026 05:02 PM (h60a/)

152 In the torpedo video it looked like around the ship's funnel there were flames before the torpedo hit. Was that just the infrared camera on the periscope? Or was the ship previously hit with a missile? I guess it could be the crew BBQing goat on the deck.

That was most likely a heat bloom from the Captain ordering emergency power from the engines when they figured out a Mark 48 torpedo was heading their way.

Modern torpedoes don't hit the ship. They explode underneath it in order to lift it as shown in the video and snap the keel. No ship survives that.

It's a fair question. I am not getting any Zionist checks (I could use the $7k right now) so I'll give my unsolicited answer:

The plan, worst-case, is to cripple the Islamic Republic's ability to project force, and to let the local Shi'ites know that exporting all this terrorist crap overseas will result in nasty results at home. All the other cases are better. Maybe they get an Islamic Republic led by someone sane, like ayatollah Seistani in Iraq was. Maybe they get a westernized Republic. Maybe they just get a Shah.
Presently, I don't see any point in allowing a terrorist group to own a span of territory, much less territory that covers Persia which in many ways was the first Western empire.

They tend to be worth it. Like the anti-radar missiles that lock in on enemy missile batteries' radar signals and blow them up. I'm sure the missile is pricey, but it destroys the batteries that can blow up your planes or even your aircraft carrier. (The latter is a big worry of mine, that one missile is going to get through and hit a carrier and really reduce support for the war, and Trump.)

The super bunker busters blew up the Iranian nuke facilities and are now being used to blow up the deep caves where they store their drones and ballistic missiles. Again, think about how many billions in losses those bombs and missiles avoid.

Posted by: Archimedes at March 04, 2026 05:13 PM (Riz8t)

236 i saw that the F-22s carry this very advanced Anti-Aircraft missile that zooms upward into the air and then comes hurtling down on the enemy from above at like mach 4. And neither the plane nor missile radar lock on the target, so the target doesn't know he's even in danger. Until like twenty seconds before impact, when the missile switches on its own radar and gets a terminal lock.

Anyway, very expensive missiles like that take out the enemy's offensive capabilities and save you billions and billions in damage.

242 They tend to be worth it. Like the anti-radar missiles that lock in on enemy missile batteries' radar signals and blow them up. I'm sure the missile is pricey, but it destroys the batteries that can blow up your planes or even your aircraft carrier. (The latter is a big worry of mine, that one missile is going to get through and hit a carrier and really reduce support for the war, and Trump.)

The super bunker busters blew up the Iranian nuke facilities and are now being used to blow up the deep caves where they store their drones and ballistic missiles. Again, think about how many billions in losses those bombs and missiles avoid.

256 Here's the truth about the MAGA Grifters: They saw Trump as a disruptive force who could remake politics. They thought he was stupid and easy to manipulate. They believed they could pressure him to disrupt politics in a way that THEY, not Trump, favored.


Well, that was stupid of them. I think 2015, someone (Heartiste?) analyzed photos of Donald Trump standing around a table with Robert Redford, Warren Beatty, and Jack Nicholson, and determined that Trump is a Super-Alpha. If you can't even command the room's respect walking into a local pub, you're not going to get a Super-Alpha to bend to your will.

To elaborate, since status is fractal, alphas' status competition is perpetual, as they have to renegotiate their position every time the composition of the group changes. (That's why bravos exist -- alpha goods without alpha ambition -- because just thinking about it is exhausting to any normal person.) And you can tell a lot from body language. To my surprise, Redford was diffident, Beatty tried to hold on but it was an act that dropped, and Nicholson came closest naturally but was ultimately out-alpha'd. There is, most likely, no one else with Trump's force of personality.

There is no demand inside the Democratic complex to square anything. One just ignores and waits for more party input.

They keep waiting for the Epstein "dirt on Trump", and it's not coming. It's enough for them to have 35-year old pictures of them together, but it's kinda boring to have evidence of much more recent contact between Epstein and Clinton.

You should feel better soon. BUFFs are in theater and dropping a lot of plain dumb bombs along with probably some JDAMs that are pretty cheap too. These only operate in the most permissive air environments and that means that Iran's air defenses are kaput. A single B52 can drop about 70,000 lbs of dumb bombs and plastering drone and missile magazine entries is probably what they are going to do.

We also have some older tech laser designated bombs that are jam proof from the regular jammers today and they simply require a laser designator on targets. We first used those in Vietnam and in Gulf War I in quantity.

Upgraded versions exist today that are pretty cheap compared with expensive standoff weapons designed for all sorts of EM jamming.

Late, Nash is being confronted, again, with the fact that he's inventing things in his head. Jennifer Connelly is in a doorway of their house, asking him about it. The little girl he's been hallucinating runs past her in the background.

How does Howard film it?

Competently. He makes sure the girl is center frame as she runs past to make sure the audience doesn't miss it.

However, it's the wrong choice. The camera should be centered on Connelly as the girl passes in the bottom frame of the shot behind her. It would be more effective that way.

291 259 Hi Guys, hasn't Bill Clinton exonerated Trump as far as the Epstein Files go?

How do the democrats square that?
Posted by: ALH, Sister Golden Hair at March 04, 2026 05:13 PM (+QijZ)

There is no demand inside the Democratic complex to square anything. One just ignores and waits for more party input.

They keep waiting for the Epstein "dirt on Trump", and it's not coming. It's enough for them to have 35-year old pictures of them together, but it's kinda boring to have evidence of much more recent contact between Epstein and Clinton.

The current twaddle is Dem reliance on a girl's testimony that was so damaged by drugs that she lied that Trump raped her at 13 and raped other kids that he buried around on his golf courses and he was palling around with Epstein in the early 80's.

None of her stories checked out, she is represented by Ms. Bloom who is Gloria Alred's daughter and her claims against the Epstein estate were denied by a federal judge due to the girl's impossible tall tales that contradict known facts like the time that Trump golf courses were built occurred years later than when she claimed girls were buried there.

"At about 9:40 a.m., dozens of Israeli munitions fired from F-15 jet fighters, including Blue Sparrow missiles, began hitting their targets. The missiles were launched from a distance: Sparrows exit the earth’s atmosphere before crashing down. Their high trajectory surprised people in the Iranian leadership compound in Tehran, people briefed on the operation said."

While no single formal joint statement was issued directly by both Kurdish and Baloch groups, contemporary reports and analyses describe these unifications as aligned in purpose—preparing for coordinated resistance or potential offensives against the Iranian regime amid its weakening, with some viewing them as part of a broader strategy by external powers (e.g., the U.S. and Israel) to exploit ethnic divisions for regime change or Balkanization. Public calls for cross-ethnic unity (e.g., between Kurds, Baloch, Persians, and others) against the regime appeared in social media and statements around this time, including from Arab Ahwazi groups urging Kurds and Baloch to collaborate.

They tend to be worth it.




Word. In Vietnam, the Thanh Hoa Bridge withstood hundreds of sorties from US bombers with dumb bombs, over 7 years of trying to knock the damned thing down. Not to mention at least 20-30 planes being shot down while trying to take it out.

Once the US deployed laser-guided bombs, it only took one mission in '72 with a handful of aircraft to heavily damage the bridge so that it was unusable. About 4 more missions totally destroyed it, without losing any aircraft.

Precision air weapons are individually expensive, but on the battlefield, they're cheap when you consider their effectiveness.

They want Iran to finish that nuclear missile and drop it on the Jewish capital."

Absolutely. They're different from the norms. They crave that 15 minutes, want to be cosmopolitan, European, exotic, and in-the-game. They've had little to really fear in life.

374 "several black pilled pundits that insist our defensive capabilities are going to be degraded before Iran can be beaten."

I watched some YouTube about WW2 and how our assembly line tech was cranking out so many bombers (or some plane) that Germans thought it was just propaganda, because they could not do 1/20th of that.

I'm hoping we have plants cranking out 300/day of those $39K very capable drones, with ability to ramp up much higher. And hopefully we have an array of other small drones to attack enemy drones attacking us in masses. Trump seems to be the first president to not be in service to the MIC, as he demanded the cheap but effective drones.

I scroll past them until they say something egregiously stupid. I spent a long time in 2A forums and advocacy groups going back to Usenet. Same, except for commenting, on comp tech websites. There is a certain type of person that just loves to argue on and on and will do every single logical fallacy that they can pull out of their ass to 'win'.

Don't have the patience to those type anymore as a result and neither were the type to actually lay out evidence to support their claims--it was only opinions.

I don't come here to argue--I did it professionally and in forums for far too long, others find it amusing and fun. Oil and water there.

it was all the planes. And all the tanks the allied side used in the latter part of the war pretty much.

Only the Russians could do similar things because they had invited a tank designer to help them before the war who ended up teaching them mass production too.

=====
I think Bannon and his little universe of mini mes got holed below the water lines. When you communicate and propose ways to fix someone's public image and use those comms with people like Wolff to try to remove Trump in term 1, that is not undercover, that is collusion with an evil man. All was pretty much known at that time to about him as Epstein was arrested shortly after.

Bannon had about 2000 comms back and forth with Epstein, Reid Hoffman only had about 1700. Says something especially when you look at the contents--hardly any of it dealt with any documentary. There is a reason he is outside looking in at this current administration.

Doubt it. Most people don't care and see Congress critters as interchangeable. Activists will care but Trump is not running for reelection. If he gets the SAVE act through and wins Iran, that will squelch a lot of the activists. Composition of Congress is an activist driven debate, not the normies and Paxton did himself no favors coming in second either. He spent little and raised little.

I like the conversation (I forgot who had it) that goes, "Jeffrey, you've been good at rehabbing your image, care to give me some tips on rehabbing mine". Because, it's obvious what tarnished Epstein's "image". So it shows an awareness of accusations about Epstein.

401 "revelations of Bannon's connection to Epstein are completely ignored by the media? ---

I still don't see Bannon as the bad guy. He and Navarro are the two that went to prison, and Navarro is still great on economic matters imo. Bannon was instrumental to Trump winning in 2016 afaik.

Just why Bannon was in touch with Epstein, idk. Bannon was with Goldman Sachs for some time, not sure where his money comes from. When I listened to him he seemed very MAGA, and his "War Room Posse" was big on making phone calls to their congressmen on important issues. I don't see him as at all anit-Israel, but I have not listened to him lately.

Any friction between Bannon and Trump may be like that between Trump and Coulter ... who also was major in helping Trump win in 2016. Then Trump turned on his helpers and brought in back-stabbers. Coulter loves what Trump is doing now (not sure what her stance is on Iran exactly).
