Liz Peek: America — dont vote for crazy over normal in the midterms

Let me get this straight: Because President Trump launched Operation Epic Fury against Iran for the purpose of denying the mullahs access to a nuclear weapon — a red line that every U.S. politician has embraced in the past — and because Americans are paying more for gasoline and diesel than they were a year ago, voters are now set to elect anti-U.S., anti-Israel candidates who want to destroy the economic system and institutions that have made the United States the strongest, most prosperous nation on earth.

Did I get that wrong? Has Americans hatred of Donald Trump made them simple? Do they really think that Democrats like Abdul El-Sayed, who is running for a vacant senate seat in Michigan, loves our country and aligns with our values? The candidate who, when pressed, would not explicitly condemn Irans Revolutionary Guard — the thugs who killed tens of thousands of their own countrymen and have orchestrated the murders of thousands of Americans through their villainous terror proxies? El-Sayed, who spouted the wonders of Medicare-for-All and promised to eliminate private insurance until it threatened to derail his campaign, flip-flopping on a central plank in his platform? El-Sayed, who calls Hasan Piker, the anti-American Israel-hater who said "Americans deserved 9/11" a friend? Come on folks, thats not who we are.

MORNING GLORY: ROGERS VERSUS EL-SAYED IS A REFERENDUM ON THE FUTURE OF AMERICA

Here are three reasons why voters must come to their senses before they commit a grievous error in the midterms:

1. Democrats promise "affordability," but always deliver higher prices. Always.

2. Voters need to look at our economy — not the alarmist headlines crowning liberal publications, but the growth that is happening under our feet, and understand that Democrats will reverse our progress.

3. Americans also must realize how quickly Democrats will revert to the policies that voters turned against two years ago: an open border that allowed millions of unvetted people to enter our country illegally, soft-on-crime regulations that handicapped our cops and made our streets more dangerous, and green energy diktats that strangled Americas abundant fossil fuels industry, eliminating a gigantic competitive advantage.

Do we really want to go back to Joe Bidens woke and feckless America? There were good reasons that Americans elected Donald Trump in 2024; those reasons still exist.

OUR CLOSING ARGUMENT: THE MIDTERMS ARE A REFERENDUM ON WHO RUNS YOUR LIFE

Lets start with the absurd notion that Democrats can deliver "affordability." Of the ten most expensive states in the U.S., all but Alaska are run by Democrats. Of the top ten most expensive cities in the U.S., all but Miami are run by Democrats. Is this a coincidence? No. Democrats favor high taxes and cumbersome regulations; both drive costs higher as businesses pass those charges along to their customers.

California imposes a 74 cent per gallon tax on gasoline — the countrys highest. New Yorks horrendously complex building regulations mean it takes longer to build in New York than any other place on earth (literally), which drives housing costs higher. Governor Kathy Hochul slapped a recurring $22
