Just some perspective on 2026. In 2008 the Democrats had won 257 House and 57 Senate seats. Just 2 years later in 2010 they had dropped to 193 House and 51 Senate seats. Things can change dramatically in just one election cycle. And it happens a lot.

2 years ago the Democrats were facing extinction. Republicans held the House, the Senate, the Presidency, and the majority on SCOTUS. Things can change and rather fast. And change back just as quick. But God is ultimately sovereign and EVERY knee shall bow.
Despite our post-election gloom there is one practical reason not to despair. Several times in the last two decades we feared we were close to losing our republic, and each time we came back, most decisively in 2024.
The radical change in the elections from 2024 to 2026 demonstrates that our system is still extraordinarily fluid and that if we regroup, we can turn this around in 2028 or soon thereafter.
Granted, the system seems to favor those who have no qualms about breaking the rules. Granted, the Democrats will continue trying to game the system with ballot harvesting and opposing election integrity measures. They will try to destroy the Constitution (e.g., court stacking) to the point that we can't come back through democratic means.
But, for now, at least, we still have a constitutionalist majority on the Court that will impede their efforts. And if they overplay their hand as they always do, they may wake people out of their slumber before that majority is gone.
One thing that will make our job more difficult is that our side is dangerously divided. We can say that Tucker and his band of Groypers are in the minority, but we can't deny they've had a major impact demoralizing us at the very least -- and pitting us against each other with a vengeance.
Always before in my long history of political involvement and activism, I've felt like our side was fighting against the evil forces that fully intended to replace the Constitution with anarchy and capitalism with socialism. But now it seems our energy is aimed against each other. Our friendly fire is anything but friendly.
I make no apology for opposing the antisemites in our midst. We always have to fight pure evil.
But we don't need to let those miscreants divide the rest of us. We have to remain united in our fight for the Constitution, our liberty and our values.
It's a tall order, but the alternative is surrender. And that will never happen.
No, we shouldn't panic, but yes, we must unite and fight. But unification is going to require discernment to recognize imposters among us. Tucker and the Groypers position themselves inside our tent so they can stir chaos and do maximum damage.
Instead of looking at this as a sign of permanent destruction we must interpret it as a wake-up call and, operating within the system and following our principles, make whatever adjustments are necessary to preserve the Republic.

Between the “New” trust the plan hopium and the Sky is falling copium, I have decided to watch old TV shows. At least I have seen the endings and know it is all just theatre. And please block me if you want. I don’t care.

Losing the Congress will have no effect on Donald Trump. The Republicans have been blocking and sabotaging everything he does anyway.
We lost nothing.

My identity in Christ means I know who I am. It means that I don't allow the critics to define me - because I have a Creator who has already done that - and a Savior who has given me the only validation I'll ever need.
Wait wait wait. So the entire Reagan years the Republicans held the House for ZERO years? Yeah. I knew that. Now you do.

To those who are saying we were cheated yesterday…just shut up. Seriously. Can’t you just lose with a little dignity? There is plenty of blame to ho around. Not every election is stolen.

I have no idea what is about to occur by days’ end. That being said there is still time to vote. And for the rest of us who already have, there is still time to pray!!

High school educated me was mentoring a new masters degreed mgr. as none of his peers “had time”. He stated his gen-z generation built the modern world. I asked “who’s mathematical concepts led to the invention of wi-fi and blu tooth?” He had no clue. Now you all do.
Why younger generations can’t grasp the fact that it was boomers/gen jones who pioneered the entire tech industry is flabbergasting.

I've noticed an interesting tension in how Christians talk about God's sovereignty.
We're often perfectly comfortable saying:
God prepared my good works beforehand.
(Ephesians 2:10)
God has a purpose for my life.
God directs my steps.
God works all things according to His will.
(Ephesians 1:11)
God knew me before I was born.
But then you say:
“God chose me for salvation before I existed.”
And suddenly God's sovereignty becomes a problem.
Why?
Paul says believers were:
“chosen... in him before the foundation of the world.” (Ephesians 1:4)
And:
“predestinated... according to the good pleasure of his will.” (Ephesians 1:5)
We're comfortable with a sovereign God arranging our circumstances.
We're comfortable with a sovereign God preparing our good works.
We're comfortable with a sovereign God directing history.
But when that same sovereignty reaches all the way into why we belong to Christ, something in us starts pushing back.
Maybe the uncomfortable question isn't:
“Is God sovereign?”
Maybe it's:
“How sovereign are we willing to let Scripture say He is?”
