- Democrats took the House and the Senate, and even Texas went blue. Voters blamed high gas prices on the war in Iran, the incoming House Oversight chairman told the administration to lawyer up, and President Trump said Republicans didn’t turn out because he wasn’t on the ballot.
Looking past the candidates, though, America didn’t take as hard-left a turn as you’d think. Anti-tax, anti-crime, and anti-election fraud measures passed across the country.
Since the Civil War, the president's party has lost House seats in 38 of 42 midterms. So is this really a realignment, or just the pendulum swinging back?

We get into:
* What the Quran and Hadith actually teach about Christians
* Why Bin Laden told the West one story and Al-Qaeda another
* The 500 years of Islamic conquest before the First Crusade
* How Muslims justify “religion of peace” propaganda
* The false history holding together the Red-Green Alliance
* The modern heresy of “doormat Christianity”

Get full access to Dad Saves America at www.dadsavesamerica.com/subscribe - From mailers pushing trans kids to leave their families to an AI discovery that could break the internet, this Halloween is shaping up to be a scary one. And that’s before I start thinking about the midterms on Tuesday.
Who's steering us through the chaos? A geriatric political class that can barely follow any of it, and a retiree generation that, per a new Cato poll, overwhelmingly backs higher taxes on young workers to protect its own Social Security checks. Meanwhile, the young left's preferred model is France, which is on fire.
Caught between zombies, vampires, and Jacobins, which scares you most?

Get full access to Dad Saves America at www.dadsavesamerica.com/subscribe - France is still on fire. A town hall nearly 200 years old has burned to the ground, and police are now drawing the line at the Louvre. Back home, the Cornell 7 case has become a Rorschach test for what’s left of feminism. This week, I’m responding to your comments on both.
From Paris to Cornell, the West has the same disease: a culture too permissive to judge anything, institutions no one can trust, and a generation raised without shame.
Does the West still have the backbone to say “No” to our spiritual decline?
