El-Sayed Got One More Road To Cross!

Now to win over the bigots within the Democratic Party. Mike Rogers is hoping the fear and noise will help him win. Abdul El-Sayed can finally talk about Michigan issues without being dogged about that damn country Israel.

Pins and needles.

Yearly Wrap Up.

Just a reminder, when the noise is calling you names, just remember they are showing themselves. President Donald J. Trump isn't the only threat. It's the status quo and those who protect it.

Now the Republican nominee Mike Rogers. He won the Republican nomination for the U.S. Senate. He was unopposed. He is a lackluster type of guy. Former FBI and U.S. House member. He lost to the current senator who was a former CIA and U.S. House member.

A folksy woman who refuses to listen to the voters. She barely won her senate bid.

Who is gonna replace her patnter, a retiring curmudgeon Democratic senator?

Abdulrahman Mohamed El-Sayed, 41 former Wayne County medical advisor and activist won the Michigan Democratic senate primary against Rep. Haley Stevens (D-MI), 43.

This is a huge blow to AIPAC, Sen. Chuck Schumer (D-MI), Sen. Gary Peters (D-MI), Sen. Elissa Slotkin (D-MI), Sen. John Fetterman (I-PA), Rep. Hillary Scholten (D-MI), Rep. Jim Clyburn (D-SC), Michigan Attorney General Dana Nessel and Gov. Gretchen Whitmer.

Stevens often accused El-Sayed of focusing too much on national politics and not enough on Michigan. The July 24 endorsement from Whitmer, who beat El-Sayed in the 2018 Democratic primary for governor, helped underline Stevens’ argument. So did a recent call El-Sayed held with donors.

On the call, audio of which leaked to NBC News and others, El-Sayed said a victory for him in Michigan could reverberate into 2028 and encourage primary challengers against the likes of Fetterman who has fallen out of favor with the left. He characterized such a move as putting “an ogre on a pike” — rhetoric that some Democrats believed was targeted at Stevens, though El-Sayed had described Fetterman as an “ogre” in the past.

Stevens, who spent the closing days of the race simultaneously shrugging off and leaning into social media snark about her Upper Midwest accent and appearance, used the episode to reinforce her message.

“These folks are making fun of the way I sound,” Stevens said at last week’s debate. “But yet, I sound like the people who need help, who are talking to me about what they need.”

El-Sayed rarely deviated from his core message.

“This is about whether or not you deserve a politics of the people, by the people and for the people,” he said at the debate, “or of the corporations, by the billionaires and for the special interests.”

Hasan Piker claims another victory. 

Shame that Rep. Wesley Bell beaten former lawmaker Cori Bush. But his ass is toast regardless of the outcome. I am going make sure of that.

I am officially done with the Democratic Party. I will only support candidates who are aligned to my progressive views. So it could end up being either a third party or vote for the Democratic candidate closest to my stances on many issues.

Enough of the water downed, white collar, white leading and get along to get things done type of Democrats.

These scary Black, Brown, transgender, immigrant, Muslim or foreign born tactics are not going to work any longer. They are only there to protect white men in power. These motherfuckers pay taxes too. They fed up with taxpayer money going to Israel. They tired of high gas prices, high grocery prices, high insurance prices, high shipping costs, high rent and high medical bill.

They don't want to risk bankruptcy over a vacation, a medical visit, a car mechnic, an emergency visit, a car loan, a stay in county lockup or a unpaid due.

The culture wars should ring hollow when folks are fighting for survival.

The depressed end up getting the strap. They end up killing when they have no options left. They are the reasons why I fear "a civil war is a coming."

White men cannot lead the United States much longer. Out of 44 men, one president was Black. We have five U.S. Senators who are Black. Only 14 Senators are women. 87% of Congress is white. Three are Asian American. Six are Hispanic. One lesbian senator.

Israel became her nightmare. At least Wesley Bell didn't say stuff like that.

There are 26 women who are senators. 16 Democrats and 10 Republicans. Just a mere quarter.

Enough is enough.

Okay, NBC News called it at 2:15am. El-Sayed had 50.4% to Stevens 47.3%. 

Former candidate Mallory McMorrow took 3.3% of the vote. That means that Stevens lost to a spoiler. Nonetheless, McMorrow dropping out did narrow the gap. Had she stayed in, El-Sayed would have carried more than 8% of the primary win.

Now these bigoted Democrats. Okay, I've had enough of Stevens, Scholten and Fetterman to last me a lifetime. I am sick and tired of these lawmakers resorting to the dusty ass playbook Republicans use to win elections.

Republicans have nothing to run on with this erratic curmudgeon president running his gums instead of his achievements. He is lacking many so far in this second chaotic term.

The Israeli lobby, Republicans and former Stevens voters will waste no time trying to sniff in the shit to dig something up to scare white voters, anger Black voters, put Democrats on the defensive and let a Florida living doofus ease on through to the Senate.

With $5 million running against damn near $65 million in AIPAC funding, El-Sayed is preparing for the money to fall into Rogers' curmudgeon ass lap.

El-Sayed overcame a nearly $65 million onslaught of outside money and an establishment that had rallied around Stevens. Whitmer endorsed Stevens late last month — a move seen as a last-ditch effort to stop a rising El-Sayed.

El-Sayed, a former public health official, goes on to face former Rep. Mike Rogers, who claimed the Republican nomination without opposition Tuesday. Their race in November is expected to be one of the most competitive in the country, and it could determine which party controls the Senate.

Republicans have 53 seats in the chamber, and Democrats are going after some red states to flip the four seats they’d need to swing the majority. But Democrats also have to defend seats in several battleground states, including Georgia and Michigan.

Trump, whose early endorsement of Rogers helped clear the GOP primary for him, won Michigan in 2016 and 2024 and lost to Joe Biden in 2020.

Rogers and national Republicans had signaled that they consider El-Sayed an easier opponent than Stevens. The National Republican Senatorial Committee went so far as to produce a digital ad emphasizing El-Sayed’s progressive credentials and endorsement from Sen. Bernie Sander (I-VT) — a move many viewed as an effort to boost him into the general election.

Jocelyn Benson, 48 will be the Democratic nominee for governor of Michigan. She will face off against John James, 45, the Black Republican who went 1-2 in most crucial races.

Michigan state representative Donavan McKinney, 34 is leading against Rep. Shri Thandar (D-MI), 71 in a crucial district primary. We will talk about the victory of winner in next post.
