A Democratic state senator of West Virginia <a href="https://wvmetronews.com/2022/12/01/republicans-add-one-more-to-their-mega-majority-in-the-state-senate-as-glenn-jeffries-switches/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">switched</a> his registration to the <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/topic/gop" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Republican Party</a> this week. 
State Senator Glenn Jeffries submitted paperwork to join the Republican caucus after being elected in 2016 to serve as a Democrat. The Republicans now <a href="https://www.wsaz.com/2022/12/01/west-virginia-sen-glenn-jeffries-switches-policital-parties/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">hold</a> a majority in the state senate of 31 senators. 
“I have the greatest respect for the many friends and supporters I have been blessed with during my time in public office,” Jeffries <a href="https://wvmetronews.com/2022/12/01/republicans-add-one-more-to-their-mega-majority-in-the-state-senate-as-glenn-jeffries-switches/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">said</a> in his announcement. “I hope to continue and strengthen those relationships going forward.”
“Our politics have gotten so personal and difficult. I want to make sure that I serve constituents and our state in a respectful, thoughtful way that leads to a better life for all West Virginians,” he added. 
Jeffries did not <a href="https://www.wboy.com/news/politics/west-virginia-senator-switching-political-parties/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">provide</a> a purpose as to why he made the switch, but in a release, the West Virginia Democratic Party said the change was because of “discomfort with Democratic Party values.”
“Just last year Senator Jeffries received the highest score of any West Virginia Senator from Climate Cabinet Action, a national group dedicated to supporting the best climate and environmental justice champions in statehouses across the country,” West Virginia Democratic Party Chair Mike Pushkin <a href="https://wchstv.com/news/local/west-virginia-sen-glenn-jeffries-announces-switch-to-republican-party" target="_blank" rel="noopener">said</a> in a statement. “Hopefully, Glenn will be permitted to continue to be an environmental justice champion in his new party.”
His change in party status was first announced by the Putnam County Republican Executive Committee. 
“I warmly welcome Senator Glenn Jeffries into the West Virginia Republican Party,” Tony Hodge, the Putnam County Republican Party Chairman and the Co-Chairman of the West Virginia Republican Party, said. “Senator Jeffries has proven himself to be a very hard worker for Putnam County. His efforts to improve infrastructure such as water and sewer services as well as road maintenance have been exemplary.”
Jeffries worked as a union carpenter before he started his own company in 1997. He is now the president and owner of Cornerstone Interiors.
His actions in the past year <a href="https://apnews.com/article/business-legislature-west-virginia-state-government-and-politics-a76069022f204d6fd13c7f921893f440" target="_blank" rel="noopener">included</a> sending a letter to Berkshire Hathaway Chairman Warren Buffett, asking him to come to West Virginia. The outreach ended with two subsidiaries of Berkshire Hathaway agreeing to buy 2,000 acres from the state to construct a manufacturing center. 
“With Senator Jeffries as a member of our caucus, we stand at 31 members strong. Glenn has been a leader in the minority caucus with his work in economic development and infrastructure,” Senate President Craig Blair said. “As a successful small business owner, he knows what meeting a payroll, hard work, responsibility, and teamwork mean. I know he has been – and will continue to be – an incredibly valuable member of the West Virginia Senate.”

<a href="http://dailywire.com/topic/pennsylvania" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Pennsylvania</a> Democrats successfully flipped the commonwealth’s House of Representatives by a single seat and plan to advance a &#8220;center-left&#8221; agenda, marking another significant <a href="http://dailywire.com/topic/2022-midterms" target="_blank" rel="noopener">midterm</a> election loss for the Republican Party.
Democrats in the Keystone State experienced considerable midterm victories after a forecasted red wave failed to materialize. Candidates flipped a net total of 12 districts, granting them precisely enough for a majority of 102 to 101, according to a <a href="https://apnews.com/article/pennsylvania-philadelphia-congress-government-and-politics-86973983562a08397a6093638eb2d450">report</a> from the Associated Press released earlier this month.
“Our leadership team will be presiding over a center-left majority, and not a left-left majority,” Pennsylvania State Rep. Peter Schweyer, a Democrat, said in a <a href="https://www.spotlightpa.org/news/2022/11/pa-election-2022-results-legislature-state-house-majority/">statement</a> to Spotlight PA. “And so we’re going to be pushing progressive values, but at the same time be mindful that this is, in fact, a purple state.”
Republicans currently hold 113 seats in the chamber while Democrats control 88, while two seats are presently vacant. Members of the former party have controlled both the Pennsylvania House and the Pennsylvania Senate since 2011, although lawmakers have been blocked from advancing their agenda for the past eight years by Democratic Governor Tom Wolf.
Democrats had claimed soon after the election that they had turned the commonwealth’s lower chamber. “We can confidently say Democrats will control the State House next year,” the Pennsylvania House Democratic Campaign Committee <a href="https://twitter.com/PAHDCC/status/1590417342844276738" target="_blank" rel="noopener">said</a> on social media.
The commonwealth will soon be entering its third consecutive four-year cycle under a Democratic chief executive since Pennsylvania Attorney General Josh Shapiro <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/josh-shapiro-defeats-doug-mastriano-in-pa-governor-race-projection" target="_blank" rel="noopener">decisively defeated</a> Republican State Senator Doug Mastriano in the gubernatorial election. The race, for which Shapiro had been the favorite throughout the entire midterm election cycle, was closely watched in the aftermath of the Supreme Court overturning Roe v. Wade, as most new regulations on abortion from the Republican-dominated legislature had been nixed by Wolf.
Last month, Shapiro reported $44 million in expenditures, <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/democrat-governor-candidate-breaks-pennsylvanias-campaign-spending-record-republican-spends-less-than-10-as-much" target="_blank" rel="noopener">surpassing</a> the former $42 million record established by former Governor Ed Rendell in the 2002 cycle, even as Mastriano spent less than $3 million. Establishment Republicans had avoided funding Mastriano due to his presence at the U.S. Capitol on January 6. While the Democratic Governors Association contributed $5.5 million to Shapiro, the Republican Governors Association provided little support to Mastriano.
Meanwhile, the Pennsylvania Senate race between Democratic Lt. Governor John Fetterman and Republican Dr. Mehmet Oz also ended in a <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/john-fetterman-defeats-dr-oz-in-pa-senate-race-projection" target="_blank" rel="noopener">victory</a> for the former candidate. The race was marked by controversy over Fetterman’s health issues following his stroke in May, which voters were able to see in the contest’s only debate. Fetterman, who linked his health struggles with the challenges faced by Pennsylvanians, provided <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/confident-oz-and-struggling-fetterman-clash-in-pennsylvania-senate-debate" target="_blank" rel="noopener">choppy responses</a> as Oz pressed the former Braddock mayor on his Left-leaning platform, although the only publicized meeting between the two candidates failed to change the outcome of the election.
Voters also reelected Tony DeLuca, a Democratic member of the Pennsylvania House of Representatives, despite the fact that he passed away last month after a battle with lymphoma. “While we&#8217;re incredibly saddened by the loss of Representative Tony DeLuca, we are proud to see the voters to continue to show their confidence in him and his commitment to Democratic values by re-electing him posthumously,” the Pennsylvania House Democratic Campaign Committee <a href="https://twitter.com/PAHDCC/status/1590166517182001153" target="_blank" rel="noopener">remarked</a> on social media. “A special election will follow soon.”
Republicans took a slim majority in the U.S. House of Representatives, while Democrats will retain control of the U.S. Senate, falling far short of many pundits’ expectations of significant Republican gains. The midterm elections were expected by many to be a referendum on the Biden administration’s economic performance, although many <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/ben-shapiro-gives-key-takeaways-from-gops-midterms-red-ripple" target="_blank" rel="noopener">commentators</a> said that the lackluster Republican showing might be a result of poor candidate quality.

The mother of former FTX CEO Sam Bankman-Fried is a law professor and <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/topic/democratic-party" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Democratic</a> fundraiser who once wrote an essay decrying “personal responsibility.”
The cryptocurrency platform filed for <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/30-year-old-billionaire-loses-entire-fortune-overnight-as-his-bahamas-based-cryptocurrency-empire-implodes" target="_blank" rel="noopener">bankruptcy</a> last week after users discovered that adjacent trading firm Alameda Research had allegedly been using consumer holdings from FTX to make investments. Following the incident, in which <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/government-entity-that-seized-ftx-crypto-assets-steps-forward" target="_blank" rel="noopener">billions</a> of customers’ dollars may have been stolen, the life of Bankman-Fried has come under scrutiny.
Barbara Fried, the mother of Bankman-Fried, is a law professor at Stanford University who has <a href="https://law.stanford.edu/directory/barbara-fried/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">written</a> about “questions of distributive justice” in areas such as tax policy and political theory. She also runs a political action committee called Mind the Gap, which <a href="https://www.influencewatch.org/political-party/mind-the-gap/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">fundraises</a> for the Democratic Party among executives in Silicon Valley. The organization raised nearly $4 million in the most recent midterm election cycle, according to <a href="https://www.opensecrets.org/political-action-committees-pacs/mind-the-gap/C00683649/summary/2022" target="_blank" rel="noopener">data</a> from Open Secrets, which showed that FTX Director of Engineering Nishad Singh <a href="https://www.opensecrets.org/outside-spending/detail/2022?cmte=C00683649&amp;tab=donors_all" target="_blank" rel="noopener">made</a> a $1 million contribution.
Facebook co-founder Dustin Moskovitz and former Google CEO Eric Schmidt have also backed the organization, according to a <a href="https://www.vox.com/recode/2020/1/6/21046631/mind-the-gap-silicon-valley-democratic-donors-stanford" target="_blank" rel="noopener">report</a> from Vox, which described one of the entity’s purposes as avoiding “public detection.”
Bankman-Fried himself contributed nearly $39 million to various campaigns during the recent midterm elections, with 99.6% of funds benefiting Democratic candidates, according to more <a href="https://www.opensecrets.org/outside-spending/top_donors/2022?disp=D&amp;type=V&amp;superonly=N" target="_blank" rel="noopener">data</a> from Open Secrets, which listed him as the nation’s sixth-largest individual midterm donor. He was previously the second-largest contributor to President Joe Biden amid his successful bid for the White House.
In the days since FTX imploded, a 2013 <a href="https://www.bostonreview.net/forum/barbara-fried-beyond-blame-moral-responsibility-philosophy-law/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">article</a> penned by Fried in the Boston Review claiming that the notion of personal responsibility has “ruined criminal justice and economic policy” began circulating online. &#8220;Public reactions to wrongdoing have been studied most extensively in the context of crime,&#8221; she asserted. &#8220;Researchers have found that peoples’ evaluations of serious wrongfulness vary significantly across social conditions and individuals. Tellingly, the more information people have about the context of the crime, the person who committed it, and the circumstances he or she came from, the more nuanced are their views of moral responsibility.&#8221;
Fried said that harm reduction policies are meant to “reduce future harm at a tolerable cost to all of us, wrongdoers included, by influencing wrongdoers’ future choices through rehabilitation, more carefully calibrated deterrence, and, when necessary, isolation from society.” She nevertheless insisted that her views do not “coddle criminals.”
Whether Bankman-Fried himself will spend time in prison has yet to be determined. The former billionaire is presently <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/bahamas-may-ship-disgraced-crypto-ceo-sam-bankman-fried-back-to-the-united-states" target="_blank" rel="noopener">located</a> in the Bahamas under supervision from law enforcement, who may transfer him to the United States for bankruptcy proceedings and questions from policymakers. The two nations signed an <a href="https://www.state.gov/wp-content/uploads/2019/05/94-922-Bahamas-Extradition-Treaty.pdf" target="_blank" rel="noopener">extradition treaty</a> in 1990.
Joseph Bankman, the father of Bankman-Fried, also <a href="https://law.stanford.edu/directory/joseph-bankman/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">works</a> as a law professor at Stanford University and has drafted legislation for Sen. Elizabeth Warren (D-MA), one of the most ardent skeptics of cryptocurrency in the federal government, according to a <a href="https://fortune.com/crypto/2022/11/11/sbfs-disgrace-could-make-things-awkward-for-gary-gensler-and-the-democrats/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">report</a> from Fortune. Linda Fried, the aunt of Bankman-Fried, is the dean of Columbia University’s Mailman School of Public Health and a <a href="https://www.weforum.org/people/linda-p-fried" target="_blank" rel="noopener">co-chair</a> of the World Economic Forum’s Global Future Council on the Future of Human Enhancement.
John Ray III, the lawyer who is overseeing FTX amid bankruptcy proceedings, <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/lawyer-overseeing-ftx-fallout-never-in-my-career-have-i-seen-such-a-complete-failure" target="_blank" rel="noopener">said</a> that Bankman-Fried and his associates ran an extraordinarily mismanaged company. “Never in my career have I seen such a complete failure of corporate controls and such a complete absence of trustworthy financial information as occurred here,” he wrote. “From compromised systems integrity and faulty regulatory oversight abroad, to the concentration of control in the hands of a very small group of inexperienced, unsophisticated and potentially compromised individuals, this situation is unprecedented.”
Executives may have <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/ftx-executives-reportedly-bought-themselves-real-estate-in-the-bahamas-with-corporate-funds" target="_blank" rel="noopener">spent</a> corporate dollars on purchasing luxury real estate listed under their own names. Leadership at the cryptocurrency venture lacked disbursement controls “appropriate for a business enterprise,” allowing executives to “purchase homes and other personal items for employees and advisors” in the Bahamas, according to Ray.

As <a href="https://www.barstoolsports.com/blog/3445077/bait-and-switch-of-the-century-qatar-bans-beer-at-world-cup-stadiums-2-days-before-the-tournament-begins" target="_blank" rel="noopener">flagged</a> by Barstool Sports, <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/topic/qatar" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Qatar</a> just pulled one of the greatest &#8220;bait-and-switches&#8221; of all times by pulling the plug on beer being sold at the stadium roughly 48 hours before the <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/topic/soccer" target="_blank" rel="noopener">World Cup</a> is set to kick off in the Islamic nation.
Ticket purchasers were told they would be allowed to consume alcohol on the premises, bought tickets in droves (soccer fans love beer), and are now going to have to either &#8220;enjoy&#8221; the games sober or risk breaking the law in the heavy-handed nation.
Well, Qatar must have learned this tactic from the Democrats.
President Joe Biden and his ilk made a litany of promises and accusations prior to the 2022 midterm elections that revved up the Democratic Party voting base, only to do an about-face on a myriad of them days after holding the Senate and having a strong showing in the House.
<h4>Student Debt Shamnesty</h4>
Perhaps the biggest bait-and-switch came in the form of Biden&#8217;s promise to cancel student debt via the HEROES Act. In September, the federal government claimed it would forgive billions of dollars in debt while arguing the COVID emergency necessitated the action. The immediate question was, how was this legal?
The Biden administration insisted to voters they would get their hands on that cold-hard money and that the order would hold up under legal scrutiny. Young voters returned the favor to Biden by coming out to cast their ballots. The data <a href="https://www.businessinsider.com/student-loan-forgiveness-brought-gen-z-to-polls-midterms-2022-11" target="_blank" rel="noopener">show</a> that the loan bailout may have motivated them.
Then, <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/topic/judiciary" target="_blank" rel="noopener">U.S. district court</a> Judge Mark T. Pittman <a href="https://fingfx.thomsonreuters.com/gfx/legaldocs/zgvobwqaapd/11102022studentloan.pdf" target="_blank" rel="noopener">ruled</a> that “no one can plausibly deny that it was either one of the largest delegations of legislative power to the executive branch, or one of the largest exercises of legislative power without congressional authority in the history of the United States.”
A federal appeals court upheld that ruling, and now the White House is asking the U.S. Supreme Court to hear the case.
Per the reasons laid out by Pittman, it should be ruled unconstitutional by the conservative majority.
Yet why would Democrats care? They were able to hold onto more power.
<h4>Why Was The Mar-A-Lago Raid Even Needed?</h4>
Ordering the FBI to raid a former president was unprecedented. Yet, as Biden warned that ex-President Donald J. Trump and &#8220;MAGA Republicans&#8221; represented a threat to American democracy, his Department of Justice went ahead with it anyway.
Rumors were leaked from &#8220;sources&#8221; close to the matter that he had kept nuclear codes. Such objects could be stolen! Or worse, he could be selling them to Russia! The raid was necessary because Trump is a dangerous man and the feds finally got him! He intended to undermine the very office he served in, how dare he.
Well, that seemed as if it was the prevailing narrative within legacy media anyway.
Legacy media of course parrot whatever the Biden administration says, so suffice it to say that was likely Biden&#8217;s stance on the matter as well.
Now, those same yellow journalists are claiming that Trump&#8217;s motivating factor wasn&#8217;t money or anything underhanded, rather simply it was his ego. He wanted to keep them for souvenirs. According to <a href="https://www.washingtonpost.com/national-security/2022/11/14/trump-motive-mar-a-lago-documents/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">The Washington Post</a>, Trump had &#8220;no discernible business interest&#8221; in keeping the documents in question.
As columnist David Marcus <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4ZUIhEWLJMQ" target="_blank" rel="noopener">told</a> the podcast crew on Morning Wire, &#8220;If WaPo has the story right, it&#8217;s far more innocuous. Classified documents are classified documents but this is feeling more like stashing away some peanuts from Air Force One than undermining democracy.&#8221;
So in other words, it&#8217;s looking like a nothing burger.
Trump has already declared his candidacy. Will the DOJ press charges? That remains to be seen, but for now, none of the &#8220;accepted narrative&#8221; pre-midterm reporting on the matter seems accurate.
Codifying Roe 
Democrats have promised to codify Roe and continue to fight for abortion rights. Now, Biden seems to have given up on that effort altogether.
Earlier this week, the president was asked what Americans could expect from Congress regarding the matter.
&#8220;I don&#8217;t think they can expect much of anything other than we&#8217;re going to maintain our positions,&#8221; Biden responded, <a href="https://www.foxnews.com/politics/biden-admits-democrats-wont-be-able-codify-roe-v-wade-i-dont-think-theres-enough-votes" target="_blank" rel="noopener">according</a> to Fox News. &#8220;I&#8217;m not going to get into more questions. I shouldn&#8217;t even answer your question.&#8221;
The president acknowledged there aren&#8217;t &#8220;enough votes to codify unless something happens unusual in the House.&#8221;
That&#8217;s true, but to point-blank tell your core voters that they can&#8217;t &#8220;expect much of anything&#8221; on abortion is a bit insulting. I&#8217;m not even a Biden voter, and I feel insulted on their behalf. As the saying goes, &#8220;<a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=G1mof3xPooE" target="_blank" rel="noopener">nuts and bolts, they got screwed</a>&#8221; by Democrats.
<h4>So Much More &#8230;</h4>
The title says &#8220;three ways&#8221; but there are so many more instances of leftists telling voters one thing, yet delivering another.
Indirectly, you can also say that the second largest <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/shameless-media-just-cant-quit-love-affair-with-crypto-creep-sbf" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Democrat donor, crypto creep Sam Bankman-Fried,</a> pulled a similar move by claiming to be an &#8220;effective altruist.&#8221; In reality, it looks like he was frittering away investors&#8217; money and donating to progressive politicians. Now it is all up in flames.
Regarding January 6, it now seems that the feds were a little more involved with <a href="https://www.nytimes.com/2022/11/14/us/politics/fbi-informants-proud-boys-jan-6.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener">some of the rioters</a> than previously known.
There are dozens more. Leftist supporters keep falling for it.
Readers would likely say anytime Democrat (or any swamp politician for that matter) flaps his or her lips, they are lying That may be true, but usually, it&#8217;s not this obvious so quickly.

When <a href="http://dailywire.com/topic/cryptocurrency" target="_blank" rel="noopener">cryptocurrency</a> exchange platform FTX suddenly imploded last week, immediately erasing the fortune of 30-year-old founder Sam Bankman-Fried, the public soon noticed multiple strings between the company and the <a href="http://dailywire.com/topic/democratic-party" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Democratic Party</a> that curiously run through <a href="http://dailywire.com/topic/ukraine" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Ukraine</a>.
FTX, which is headquartered in the Bahamas, was launched in 2019 and had accrued more than one million users by 2022. However, users suddenly demanded $6 billion in withdrawals after an <a href="https://www.coindesk.com/business/2022/11/02/divisions-in-sam-bankman-frieds-crypto-empire-blur-on-his-trading-titan-alamedas-balance-sheet/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">article</a> published by CoinDesk revealed that the two arms of Bankman-Fried’s cryptocurrency empire, FTX and Alamada Research, had a significant overlap on their balance sheets in the form of the cryptocurrency FTT, which FTX invented. Rival firm Binance, which had been planning to purchase FTX, announced that it would discharge all holdings in the coin and eventually reversed course on the acquisition, rendering the overnight success <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/30-year-old-billionaire-loses-entire-fortune-overnight-as-his-bahamas-based-cryptocurrency-empire-implodes" target="_blank" rel="noopener">bankrupt</a>.
Bankman-Fried went from maintaining a $15.6 billion net worth to having “no material wealth” equally as fast, according to <a href="https://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2022-11-11/bankman-fried-s-effective-altruism-implodes-with-his-fortunes#:~:text=The%20Bloomberg%20Billionaires%20Index%2C%20which,to%20have%20no%20material%20wealth." target="_blank" rel="noopener">data</a> from the Bloomberg Billionaires Index. The entrepreneur resigned on Friday as his company filed for bankruptcy.
The young mogul, however, comes from an extraordinarily well-connected family. His father, Joseph Bankman, is a tax scholar who <a href="https://law.stanford.edu/directory/joseph-bankman/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">teaches</a> at Stanford Law, while his mother, Barbara Fried, is a <a href="https://law.stanford.edu/directory/barbara-fried/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">fellow</a> Stanford Law professor who also leads Mind the Gap. This left-wing political action committee <a href="https://www.influencewatch.org/political-party/mind-the-gap/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">raises</a> funds for the Democratic Party from Silicon Valley donors.
Linda Fried, the aunt of Bankman-Fried, is the dean of Columbia University’s Mailman School of Public Health and a <a href="https://www.weforum.org/people/linda-p-fried" target="_blank" rel="noopener">co-chair</a> of the World Economic Forum’s Global Future Council on the Future of Human Enhancement. The controversial organization once <a href="https://archive.ph/RM0zj#selection-291.45-291.304" target="_blank" rel="noopener">promoted</a> FTX, although the webpage linking to the company was <a href="https://www.weforum.org/organizations/ftx" target="_blank" rel="noopener">scrubbed</a> after its bankruptcy.
Bankman-Fried himself emerged as a major donor to President Joe Biden’s campaign during the 2020 election cycle. The self-proclaimed “effective altruist” more recently donated nearly $39 million to support Democrats in the midterms, which occurred days before his company imploded, according to <a href="https://www.opensecrets.org/outside-spending/top_donors/2022?disp=D&amp;type=V&amp;superonly=N" target="_blank" rel="noopener">data</a> from Open Secrets. He had been <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/billionaire-ftx-founder-who-lost-entire-fortune-gave-massive-sum-to-democrats-before-empire-collapsed" target="_blank" rel="noopener">preparing</a> to spend as much as $1 billion during the 2024 election cycle to keep Democrats in the White House.
Earlier this year, Bankman-Fried launched an initiative alongside Ukraine’s Ministry of Digital Transformation to fundraise for the embattled nation, which has received billions in humanitarian and military <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/biden-admin-sending-5-5-billion-more-in-aid-to-ukraine" target="_blank" rel="noopener">aid</a> from the Biden administration, marking “the first instance of a cryptocurrency exchange providing a conduit for crypto donations to a public financial institution,” according to a <a href="https://www.prnewswire.com/news-releases/ukraines-ministry-of-digital-transformation-ftx-and-everstake-launch-crypto-fundraising-site-aid-for-ukraine-301501959.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener">press release</a> from a Ukrainian-based crypto firm. FTX converted the donations into fiat currencies and transmitted the funds to the National Bank of Ukraine.
“At the onset of the conflict in Ukraine, FTX felt the need to provide assistance in any way it could,” Bankman-Fried said in a statement at the time. “By working with the Ministry of Digital Transformation to set up payment rails and facilitate the conversion of crypto donations into fiat currency, we have given the National Bank of Ukraine the ability to deliver aid and resources to the people who need it most.”
Hours after the company filed for bankruptcy, FTX General Counsel Ryne Miller <a href="https://twitter.com/_Ryne_Miller/status/1591281729125613570" target="_blank" rel="noopener">said</a> that executives were “investigating abnormalities with wallet movements.” The company <a href="https://twitter.com/_Ryne_Miller/status/1591326796305530880" target="_blank" rel="noopener">initiated</a> “precautionary steps to move all digital assets to cold storage” as risk management firm Elliptic <a href="https://hub.elliptic.co/analysis/477-million-moved-out-of-ftx-in-suspected-theft/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">reported</a> that as much as $477 million was missing from FTX in a suspected hack.
The implosion of FTX has garnered the attention of federal lawmakers and regulators. White House Press Secretary Karine Jean-Pierre <a href="https://www.whitehouse.gov/briefing-room/press-briefings/2022/11/10/press-briefing-by-press-secretary-karine-jean-pierre-and-national-security-advisor-jake-sullivan-november-10-2022/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">remarked</a> last week that the Biden administration believes cryptocurrencies risk “harming everyday Americans” without “proper oversight.”

Unmarried women voted Democrat in the 2022 <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/topic/2022-midterms" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Midterm elections</a> by a significant margin, according to exit poll data.
Compared to married individuals favoring GOP candidates this year, a <a href="https://www.cnn.com/election/2022/exit-polls/national-results/house/21" target="_blank" rel="noopener">CNN</a> exit poll of 18,571 total respondents found 68% of single women marked their ballots for Democratic politicians — a 37-point margin over the Republican Party.
“One of the fascinating things about our ongoing political realignment is the massive political incentive Democrats have to keep women unmarried,” tweeted political commentator Mollie Hemmingway.

Republicans gained 20% more votes from married men than Democrats, while single men voted 7% more for GOP figures.
The Democratic Party has capitalized on the destruction of the nuclear family since the 1950s. More than 70 years ago, the marriage rate among American households was at its highest. Today, that number decreased by nearly 50%.
The New York Times reported — based on statistics analyzed by The Brookings Institution — nearly 80% of households consisted of married couples before the golden age in America. By 2010, the number of marriages in America had dropped to 48%.
<a href="https://www.unmarried.org/featured/why-unmarried-women-more-often-than-married-women-vote-for-democrats-new-research-suggests-a-new-answer/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Studies</a> suggest single women vote Democrat more often than married women because they depend on a single income, have feminist attitudes towards social issues like abortion and pre-marital sexual behavior, and agree with ideologies that redefine gender roles and family responsibilities.
“The Democrats’ radical abortion and LGBTQ agenda coupled with their negligent governance of our cities makes perfect sense when you realize the destruction of the nuclear family and dependence on government welfare keeps the Democratic Party in power,” Jayme Chandler Franklin said on Twitter.

Other notable figures from CNN’s exit poll data show that 72% of women between 18 and 29 voted Democrat. However, only 48% of women age 65 or older support the party.
Inez Stepman, a senior policy analyst at Independent Women&#8217;s Forum, called the statistic a political force on Twitter.
&#8220;On the right, we love to mock and complain about this, but Millennials will have the highest proportion of unmarried and childless women hitting 40, probably in all of human history,&#8221; Stephman wrote. &#8220;And they will vote to ruin your life.&#8221;

Exit Poll Shows Nearly 70% Of Single Women Voted Democrat In Midterms

Michigan Republicans were hopeful for a repudiation of the state’s current leftist trajectory Tuesday night. They were met with the opposite.
Democrats are projected to win key races and ballot measures across the board in the Great Lakes State, led by Gov. <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/michigan-governor-gretchen-whitmer-hangs-on-despite-late-republican-surge-projection/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Gretchen Whitmer&#8217;s re-election victory</a>. The party is also set to win multiple tight U.S. House races, enshrine a right to abortion in the state’s constitution, and take control of the state legislature for the first time in 40 years.
“We have come a long way, Michigan,” Whitmer <a href="https://www.fox17online.com/news/election-2022/gretchen-whitmer-beats-tudor-dixon-will-serve-4-more-years-as-governor" target="_blank" rel="noopener">told</a> a crowd of her supporters early Wednesday morning. “We are thrilled at the unexpected high turnout, we are thrilled that the three ballot initiatives got passed.”
Michigan <a href="https://www.nytimes.com/2022/11/09/us/abortion-rights-ballot-proposals.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener">joined</a> California and Vermont in passing ballot initiatives to add a right to abortion in their states’ constitutions. The approved measure now supersedes a 1931 Michigan law that bans all abortions unless the mother’s life is at risk. Whitmer campaigned heavily on the issue of abortion, pointing at her opponent Tudor Dixon as too radical in her opposition to abortion.
The approved amendment recognizes a “right to make and effectuate decisions about all matters relating to pregnancy, including but not limited to prenatal care, childbirth, postpartum care, contraception, sterilization, abortion care, miscarriage management, and infertility care.” Opponents of the proposal <a href="https://www.heritage.org/life/commentary/michigans-radical-proposition-3-ballot-measure-would-go-far-beyond-just-codifying" target="_blank" rel="noopener">argue</a> it goes beyond codifying abortion rights by erasing Michigan’s protections of those born alive after a botched abortion and “pav[ing] the way for eugenic abortions, or abortions based on sex, disability, or race.”
U.S. House results from Michigan were another bright spot for Democrats as the party looks to hold onto more seats than what many expected. In the state’s 7th congressional district toss-up race, Rep. Elissa Slotkin (D-MI) is projected to defeat GOP challenger Tom Barrett. Democrats <a href="https://results.decisiondeskhq.com/2022/general/states/Michigan" target="_blank" rel="noopener">appear poised</a> to flip the state’s 3rd district, with current vote counts showing Democrat Hillary Scholten up by 13 points on Trump-endorsed Republican John Gibbs. Democrats poured hundreds of thousands of dollars into Gibbs’ primary race to boost his run against Rep. Peter Meijer (R-MI). Current results also show incumbent Democrat Dan Kildee holding onto a 5-point lead against Republican Paul Junge in what was considered another toss-up race.
In another show of Democratic dominance in Michigan on Tuesday night, Secretary of State Jocelyn Benson soundly defeated Republican Kristina Karamo, and Attorney General Dana Nessel appears set to win her election against Matthew DePerno, leading by seven points with an estimated 92% of the vote counted.
Democrats are also projected to gain control of the state’s legislature for the first time since 1983. The party said Wednesday morning that they will hold a one-vote majority in the state House and believe they will win a two-seat majority in the Senate. Republicans conceded their control of both chambers, <a href="https://www.detroitnews.com/story/news/politics/michigan/2022/11/09/michigan-democrats-poised-to-win-control-of-legislature-for-1st-time-in-decades/69632790007/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">according</a> to the Detroit News.

Former Fox News host Megyn Kelly remained optimistic about the midterm election results despite the disappointment of some Republican voters expecting a red tsunami during an interview on The Daily Wire Backstage.
Kelly reminded viewers that Republican candidates vying for House and Senate seats faced &#8220;absolute devastation&#8221; until September when pollsters saw the gaps closing in many races across the country.
&#8220;This is a big night,&#8221; Kelly said, arguing that GOP victories would obstruct the Democratic agenda. &#8220;There will be no more Inflation Reduction Act nonsense. January 6 distractions are over. Their primetime show is done. Like they needed to be stopped — they were out of control.&#8221;
Democrats have held both the House and Senate for the last two years. But President Joe Biden&#8217;s sagging approval numbers, rising inflation, and and increase in crime could give the GOP the opportunity to flip numerous seats and reclaim Congress.
With projections showing a split majority in the Senate and the GOP winning the House, Kelly argued that a split Congress could help Republicans make a better case for a Republican president in 2024.
&#8220;It is better for the GOP not to be in control of both branches of Congress,&#8221; Kelly said. &#8220;The more they control, the more they&#8217;re gonna get blanked.&#8221;
&#8220;It&#8217;s going to be a lot tougher if they control the Senate and the GOP controls the House,&#8221; she added.
The podcast host said whether or not Republicans control both houses of Congress, they will have to &#8220;get dirty and fight those battles&#8221; with the Democrats pushing deeply ideological issues.

‘I Like A Divided Government’: Megyn Kelly Celebrates GOP Midterm Wins

'I Like A Divided Government': Megyn Kelly Celebrates GOP Midterm Wins

Third Way, a center-left think tank, warned on Monday that the <a href="http://dailywire.com/topic/democrats" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Democratic Party</a> is far too radical and out-of-touch in the minds of <a href="http://dailywire.com/topic/2022-midterms" target="_blank" rel="noopener">midterm</a> voters.
The organization, which is <a href="https://www.thirdway.org/about/board-of-trustees/john-l-vogelstein" target="_blank" rel="noopener">supported</a> by multiple prominent members of Congress, conducted a poll of likely voters revealing that Democrats are deeply underwater on the issues that Americans are predominantly considering as they head to the polls. Republicans maintain double-digit advantages over their rivals on the economy and immigration, with roughly 56% saying that Democrats “are not focused enough on the economy,” while only 36% expressing the same about their opponents.
Democrats have staked their hopes on a pendulum-style reaction against the Supreme Court overturning Roe v. Wade. Abortion, however, ranks a distant third among the issues most important to voters and is held at a similar level of priority as crime, an area in which Republicans dominate.
“Given voters’ lack of trust of Democrats on their top issues, it is no surprise that they want these midterms to yield a check on Democrats’ power in Washington,” a <a href="https://www.thirdway.org/memo/overcoming-the-democratic-party-brand" target="_blank" rel="noopener">memo</a> published by Third Way said.
Though leftists have poured resources into painting Republicans as extreme, the group said voters think the same about Democrats. In one exercise, Third Way asked respondents to rank themselves on an ideological scale, with 0 being the most liberal and 10 being the most conservative. Voters placed the two parties “similarly far from center,” but voters, on average, placed themselves within 1.7 points of Republicans and 2.6 points of Democrats, indicating that they align more closely with the former party.
“The results indicate that Democrats are underwater on issues voters name as their highest priorities,” the memo continued, “including the economy, immigration, and crime, they are perceived as distant from the electorate ideologically, and voters question whether the party shares essential values like patriotism and the importance of hard work.”
Messaging from the White House has portrayed an optimistic view of current economic conditions that appears to be misaligned with voters’ experiences. When the most recent unemployment data showed an uptick from the previous month, the commander-in-chief <a href="https://www.whitehouse.gov/briefing-room/statements-releases/2022/11/04/statement-by-president-joe-biden-on-the-october-jobs-report/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">took</a> the finding as proof that the “economy continues to grow and add jobs,” and when the most recent inflation data showed that price levels remained near four-decade highs, he <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/shows-some-progress-biden-responds-to-another-dismal-inflation-report" target="_blank" rel="noopener">commented</a> that the report “shows some progress.”
On issues where voters tend to prefer Democrats, respondents expressed distrust that the party is capable of executing its agenda. Though Democrats lead Republicans significantly on funding and improving the education system, they trail Republicans by one point on “actually improving” education. Voters also opposed President Joe Biden’s student loan cancellation policy, with an even stronger share of swing voters rejecting the move.
Republicans are strongly favored to win the House of Representatives and slightly favored to win the Senate, according to <a href="https://projects.fivethirtyeight.com/2022-election-forecast/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">forecasts</a> from FiveThirtyEight, which shows that conservatives have an unusual chance to gain governorships in states such as Oregon and New York. Over the past month, Republicans have gained in the polls as <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/federal-reserve-hikes-interest-rates-three-quarters-of-a-point" target="_blank" rel="noopener">inflation remains elevated</a> and <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/unemployment-spikes-upward-as-economy-deals-with-rate-hikes-and-elevated-prices-biden-reacts" target="_blank" rel="noopener">unemployment ticks upward</a>.

Top Democrats Admit Party Is Too Extreme, Out-Of-Touch With What Voters Care About

Democrats Are Too Extreme For America, Voters Say

<a href="https://www.dailywire.com/topic/indiana">Indiana</a> election officials removed a Democrat poll worker last week for allegedly pre-selecting Democratic candidates and pressuring citizens to vote for specific candidates.
Beth Sheller, an election administrator for Hamilton County, told <a href="https://www.foxnews.com/politics/democrat-poll-worker-ejected-pre-selecting-straight-dem-ticket-voting-machines-report">Fox News Digital</a> that an inspector report allegedly identified two separate incidents at a polling location in Carmel, Indiana. The incidents may constitute electioneering and election interference by a poll worker named James Zheng.
Zheng has been accused of telling black voters &#8220;… not to vote for the racist candidates outside,&#8221; according to Chalkboard Review, where officials first identified the accused poll worker.
According to the report, the first incident happened on Thursday evening after the poll worker told a pair of black voters not to vote for pro-parent school board candidates, alleging they were &#8220;racist&#8221; after encountering a group of education activists outside the polling station.
After casting their ballots, the pair of voters explained their interaction with the poll worker to the activists, who then approached the worker about the issue.
The second incident involved potential election interference, according to the inspector report.
Chalkboard Review <a href="https://chalkboardreview.com/breaking-democrat-poll-worker-ejected-after-caught-electioneering-preselecting-straight-dem-ticket/">reports</a> Sheller confirmed that Zheng allegedly pre-selected a straight-Democrat ticket for a voter under the guise of &#8220;explaining the voting machines.&#8221;
Several voters accused Zheng to their local election judges of using the same tactic on their ballots, some of whom &#8220;didn&#8217;t know how to change it back.&#8221;
In a press release obtained by Chalkboard Review, Mario Massillamany, GOP chairman in Hamilton County, said that the election administrator removed Zheng from working at the early voting site and prevented him from returning to the station on Friday and Monday.
&#8220;This should serve as a cautionary reminder that those desperate to hold onto power or gain power will do anything – including breaking the law – to thwart the efforts of parents and taxpayers to replace our school boards with officials who more accurately reflect the values of our community,&#8221; Massillamany said. &#8220;If you see something suspicious, please report such activity immediately to a poll worker or other election official immediately.&#8221;
Fox News reports Dayna Colbert, Hamilton County Democrats chair, was contacted to provide a replacement poll worker.
Hamilton County Sheriff&#8217;s Office has reportedly begun investigating the accusations.
Sheller told Chalkboard Review that she hopes to see Zheng prosecuted for both aspects of misconduct and would ensure with a bipartisan team of judges and election officials that sure &#8220;no electioneering&#8221; signs and limits were posted at that location before polls opened.
&#8220;I have never seen anything like this,&#8221; she said.

Voters Cast Ballots During Midterm Elections

Dem Poll Worker Accused Of Pre-Selecting Democratic Candidates, Pressuring Voters To Cast Ballots For Specific Candidates

2022 Election

President <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/topic/joe-biden" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Joe Biden</a> is set to campaign for Democratic Governor <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/topic/kathy-hochul" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Kathy Hochul</a> in <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/topic/new-york" target="_blank" rel="noopener">New York</a> Sunday amid panic that she may lose against Republican <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/topic/lee-zeldin" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Lee Zeldin</a>.
Biden scheduled a campaign event with Hochul Sunday afternoon in Yonkers, according to a report from WNYC radio&#8217;s Capitol Press Room. The event is one of several high-profile stumps Biden has made for Hochul, and the latest rally that the incumbent Democrat has held with leading faces of her party. The event also comes amid reports of panic among Democrats that Hochul may very well lose to Zeldin on Tuesday.
The Hochul campaign confirmed the event to <a href="https://capitolpressroom.org/2022/11/04/sources-biden-to-campaign-with-hochul/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Capitol Press Room</a> and <a href="https://www.nytimes.com/2022/11/04/nyregion/hochul-biden.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener">The New York Times</a>. The event is scheduled for 5 p.m. on Sunday. Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer (D-NY) will also be in attendance, along with other party leaders. The event is a get-out-the-vote rally, attempting to drum up some enthusiasm among the Democratic base, the NYT added.
Biden previously attended an event on <a href="https://abc7ny.com/kathy-hochul-lee-zeldin-president-joe-biden-bus-tour/12384796/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">October 27</a> to promote the opening of a $1oo million semiconductor plant in New York. The Sunday event caps a busy week for Biden, who campaigned for Democratic Florida gubernatorial candidate Charlie Crist and Senate candidate Val Demings in Miami Gardens on November 1. Then on November 3, he traveled to <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/biden-to-stump-for-embattled-new-mexico-governor-as-poll-shows-her-trailing-republican-challenger" target="_blank" rel="noopener">New Mexico</a> to stump for embattled Governor Michelle Lujan Grisham. On Saturday, Biden campaigned for Democratic Pennsylvania gubernatorial candidate Josh Shapiro and Senate candidate John Fetterman.
Earlier this week, Vice President <a href="https://www.nytimes.com/2022/11/03/nyregion/hochul-women-kamala-harris.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Kamala Harris</a> and former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton appeared at another get-out-the-vote rally for women in support of Hochul.
Biden&#8217;s latest appearance in New York comes amid a report that Democrats in the state are panicking that Hochul could be on the losing end of a monumental upset in a state that has not elected a Republican governor since George Pataki in 2002.
According to a report from <a href="https://www.cnn.com/2022/11/04/politics/eric-adams-new-york-crime-midterms/index.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener">CNN</a>, Democrats are bracing for a potential loss, and are blaming New York City Mayor Eric Adams for &#8220;overhyping the issue&#8221; of crime and &#8220;playing into right-wing narratives&#8221; that create fear among New Yorkers. “He was an essential validator in the city to make their attacks seem more legit and less partisan,” an anonymous Democratic campaign operative told CNN.
“The concern over crime is real. It is acute,” New York Congressman Mondaire Jones told the outlet. “But once this election is over, I hope people have an honest conversation about how Democrats like Eric Adams have validated a hysteria over crime that is uninformed and that has been debunked.”
Democrats&#8217; panic is well warranted: a poll conducted by the <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/another-poll-shows-zeldin-leading-hochul-gains-support-from-group-that-votes-overwhelmingly-democratic" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Trafalgar Group</a> showed that Republican Congressman Lee Zeldin holds a lead of just under one point against Hochul, 48.4%-47.6%, with 4% of voters undecided. Trafalgar Group chief pollster Robert Cahaly also reported that Zeldin was pulling support from an interesting group of Democratic voters in the race.
“I’ve been saying that I had a theory, based on our last two #NYGov #polls, that what’s left of the #Cuomo machine could back @leezeldin,&#8221; Cahaly <a href="https://twitter.com/RobertCahaly/status/1587555916710395904?s=20&amp;t=IG40kG_RS0wd6v8OMmozbw" target="_blank" rel="noopener">tweeted</a>. Included in his tweet were two screenshots of hypothetical polls that showed disgraced former Governor Andrew Cuomo would have led Zeldin by 10 points, 55%-45%; a sizeable majority of voters said that Cuomo did a better job as governor than Hochul, 59.4% to 40.6%.

Rep. <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/read-it-kari-lake-trolls-liz-cheney-with-savage-thank-you-letter/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Liz Cheney</a> (R-WY) traveled to <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/topic/michigan" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Michigan</a> Tuesday night to stump for a Democrat for the first time.
Cheney joined Rep. Elissa Slotkin (D-MI) in East Lansing, encouraging Michiganders to vote for the Democrat in next Tuesday’s election. Slotkin, the incumbent, is in a tight race to represent the state’s 7th district with Republican State Senator Tom Barrett.
&#8220;If we want to ensure this revival of our republic, we have to walk away from politics as usual,&#8221; Cheney said, <a href="https://www.detroitnews.com/story/news/politics/michigan/2022/11/02/cheney-tells-slotkin-crowd-to-walk-away-from-politics-as-usual/69611435007/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">according</a> to the Detroit News, adding. &#8220;If the people in our party are not doing the job they need to do, then we’re going to vote for the people in the other party.”
After Slotkin welcomed her to Michigan, Cheney told the crowd of about 500, &#8220;This is, by the way, the first time I’m campaigning for a Democrat.&#8221;
The Republican congresswoman who garnered attention as the vice chair of the House committee investigating the January 6 Capitol riot narrowed her focus on restoring a republic she believes has been damaged by many in the Republican Party.
“The chips are down for us. This is our time of testing. Not a single one of us in this room and not a single one of us across this country can be a bystander. We all must stand and defend this republic,” <a href="https://www.cnn.com/2022/11/01/politics/liz-cheney-elissa-slotkin-2022-midterms/index.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener">added</a> Cheney.
Slotkin rehashed Cheney’s concern for the state of American politics, saying that the biggest issue the two agree on is &#8220;preserving American democracy.&#8221; Barrett railed against Cheney and Slotkin, calling them “war-hawks.” The Michigan Republican was endorsed by Harriet Hageman who defeated Cheney in Wyoming’s Republican primary in August.
“People are sick and tired of these establishment forces hanging together, no matter what,” Barrett said. “The phony idea that Elissa Slotkin and Liz Cheney are now part of some non-partisan coalition together – the only thing they brought us is the misery we’re all feeling right now.”
Republicans have become accustomed to Cheney’s new goal of opposing conservatives she deems dangerous to democracy. Earlier on Tuesday, Cheney <a href="https://thehill.com/homenews/campaign/3714527-liz-cheney-endorses-democrat-tim-ryan-in-ohio-senate-race/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">endorsed</a> Rep. Tim Ryan (D-OH) over Republican candidate J.D. Vance in Ohio&#8217;s Senate race, and last week, the congresswoman was <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/read-it-kari-lake-trolls-liz-cheney-with-savage-thank-you-letter" target="_blank" rel="noopener">trolled</a> by Arizona gubernatorial Kari Lake after Cheney made an ad urging Arizonans not to vote for the confident Republican.
“Thank you for your generous in-kind contribution to my campaign,” Lake wrote in a letter. “Your recent television ad urging Arizonans not to vote for me is doing just the opposite. Our campaign donations are skyrocketing and our website nearly crashed from traffic as people rushed to learn more about my plan to put Arizona first and join our historic political movement.”
