Washed-Up Actor Kevin Sorbo Is Angry That 63% Of Gen Z Voters Voted For ‘Socialism’ In The Midterms

You probably remember Kevin Sorbo from the “Hercules” television series, which ended in 2000, leaving the actor struggling to find work because he’s not very good at his craft.

Sorbo is also an extreme right-wing activist who often posts controversial crap on social media that gets him heavily mocked by others and results in him being laughed at instead of being taken seriously, which he desperately longs to be.

And now Sorbo is weighing in on the results of the 2022 midterm elections, which were a disaster for Republicans.

According to the actor, the reason the GOP lost so badly is because young voters from Generation Z (18-29 years old) voted for “socialism.”

“According to exit polls, 63% of voters ages 18 to 29 voted for the left in the 2022 midterm elections. That means a majority of Gen Z support destructive left-wing policies, such as socialism, open borders, student loan forgiveness, higher taxes, and late-term abortion. Clueless”

So because Sorbo disagrees with the voting preference of younger voters, that makes them “clueless”? The same could easily be said for any woman who casts a ballot for a Republican candidate who is eager to make laws about having the government regulate women’s bodies and reproductive choices.

Other Twitter users also slammed Sorbo for his comments.

Fox News Joe Biden The Biden Administration WTF?!

Fox News Accuses The Biden Administration Of Being ‘Too Pro-Christmas’

For years, Fox News and others on the right have suggested that liberals and progressives are antagonistic to anything religious or sacred, even going so far as to declare that there’s a “War on Christmas.”

Now, however, it seems Fox has decided that the Biden White House is “too pro-Christmas” and is overlooking Thanksgiving, according to Alex Henderson of AlterNet.

At 6 PM on Monday, November 21, Fox News announced its “all-American Christmas tree lighting.” But only four later, on far-right host Laura Ingraham’s Fox News show, “The Ingraham Angle,” the following words appeared on the screen: “Biden White House Jumps the Gun on Christmas.”

Twitter quickly reminded Fox of their enormous hypocrisy.

Elon Musk Gets His A*s Handed To Him When He Attacks A US Senator For Complaining About Twitter

When he purchased Twitter for $44 billion, Elon Musk probably thought it was a brilliant business move. But as he’s finding out, no only is his social media site losing money hand over fist, he’s also managing to alienate people who have the power to impose all sorts of pain on him and his company.

Take, for example, the case of Sen. Ed Markey (D-MA), who complained about someone creating a fake account that was attempting to pass itself off as his. According to The Washington Post, the showdown between Markey and Musk began on Friday.

The spat began after a Washington Post columnist wrote Friday that he had impersonated Markey, with his permission, to show how easy it is to get a blue check mark under Twitter’s new verification system. “In a few minutes, I got a blue check mark on an impersonation of the lawmaker,” Geoffrey A. Fowler wrote.

Markey then wrote a letter to Musk criticizing the new policy.

“Safeguards such as Twitter’s blue checkmark once allowed users to be smart, critical consumers of news and information in Twitter’s global town square,” he said. “But your Twitter takeover, rapid and haphazard imposition of platform changes, removal of safeguards against disinformation, and firing of large numbers of Twitter employees have accelerated Twitter’s descent into the Wild West of social media.”

Markey said he would like a response explaining the process by Nov. 25.

Markey also posted his complaint on Twitter, writing:

“I’m asking for answers from Elon Musk, who is putting profits over people and his debt over stopping disinformation.”

But rather than apologize and assure the senator he would look into the matter, Musk decided he’d fire off a terse and sarcastic reply.

“Perhaps it is because your real account sounds like a parody?”

That was a big mistake, as Markey quickly reminded Musk, because the senator just so happens to sit on a Senate committee with direct oversight of Twitter and other social media platforms.

“One of your companies is under an FTC consent decree. Auto safety watchdog NHTSA is investigating another for killing people. And you’re spending your time picking fights online. Fix your companies. Or Congress will.”

Others also joined the fray, reminding Musk that he had picked a fight with the wrong person.

Ditzy Herschel Walker Declares: America Is ‘The Greatest Country In The United States’

Republican Senate candidate Herschel Walker is trying to drum up support as he heads into a December 6 runoff election with incumbent Georgia Sen. Raphael Warnock (D).

Why is there a runoff? The Associated Press explains:

A third candidate, Libertarian Chase Oliver, took 2.1% in the initial round of balloting Nov. 8. That was enough to keep both Warnock and Walker, the former University of Georgia football standout, from taking more than half the vote, which is required to avoid a runoff.

Less than 1 percentage point separated Warnock and Walker, with Warnock slightly ahead. They will be the only candidates up for consideration Dec. 6.

As he’s done repeatedly since he announced his candidacy, Walker is making a complete fool of himself with remarks he made to a group of supporters, asking them, “Do you know we’re the greatest country in the United States…?”

Yes, we most certainly are the greatest country in the United States because we ARE the United States! Damn! Thanks for that information, Captain Obvious.

If you’ve followed Walker’s campaign at all, then you’ll know this is about the 10 millionth stupid thing he’s said since he announced his candidacy with the enthusiastic support of disgraced, one-term, twice-impeached former president Donald Trump. Here’s a few other examples:

  •  “They continue to try to fool you like they’re helping you out, but they’re not. They’re not helping you out, because a lot of the money is going to trees. You know that, don’t you? It’s going into trees. We’ve got enough trees. Don’t we have enough trees around here?”
  • In a July 9 appearance, he spoke about climate change, suggesting that Georgia’s “good air decides to float over” to China, replacing China’s “bad air,” which goes back to Georgia, where “we got to clean that back up.”
  • At a town hall and lunch for women on August 19 in Wrightsville, he said that inflation affects women more than men because “they gotta buy groceries.” 

Twitter lit up with mockery for Walker’s latest gaffe.

Revised Projections From Steve Kornacki Show Democrats Could Retain Control Of The House

An already bad midterm election for Republicans could be on the verge of turning disastrous, according to MSNBC elections expert Steve Kornacki, who reported Saturday that some surprises in key House races could result in Democrats retaining control of the House of Representatives.

Mediaite reports that Kornacki revealed his new projections with host Ali Velshi as new updates were being released out of Maricopa County in Arizona.

“The decision desk has just revised its estimate for where the House will land, and look at this,” he said as the graphics updated. “218 seats needed for a majority in the House, and we are now estimating that Republicans will finish with 219.”

Velshi whistled at the shift in numbers as Kornacki continued.

“And I would stress the margin for error here is plus or minus four seats,” said Kornacki. “So the Republican range could still extend into the low 220s, but it could also fall under 218. Meaning that Democrats still very much have a possibility of retaining control of the House.”

“So the House very much in play according to our model.”

21 House districts remain uncalled, and Democrats only need 15 to keep control. Republicans need victory in 7 districts to take over leadership of the House.

Buckle up. The 2022 election isn’t over with just yet.
