2022 American Music Awards.

Los Angeles , CA November 20th, 2022 (Rolling Stone Magazine). 2022 American Music Awards aired on ABC and Bad Bunny dominated the nominations with eight nods, closely followed by Beyonce, Drake, and Taylor Swift, who each received six nominations. Adele, Harry Styles, and the Weeknd each garnered five nods. In the end, Swift swept all six of the categories in which she was nominated.

All seven of them were nominated for the top prize: Artist of the Year. Bad Bunny could’ve tied with Michael Jackson and Whitney Houston’s records for most awards in a single year if he had taken all of his categories. Prior to the awards show airing, Taylor Swift led the pack with three wins, and Bad Bunny, Beyoncé, Kendrick Lamar, and Morgan Wallen each nabbed two awards in the non-televised categories.

The fans have voted and spoken, and the list of winners are below. They will be updated throughout the night.

November 13rd, 2022 (MTV). This year's MTV EMA ceremony is certainly one for the books. Kicking off with a one-two punch of performances by Bebe Rexha and David Guetta — doing their nostalgic team-up "I'm Good (Blue)" — and Muse rocking the heck out, the show also promises tons of other unexpected performances, including the live debut of Spinall And Äyanna's "Power (Remember Who You Are)."


But there are also trophies to give away, of course. Harry Styles leads the nominations field with a total of seven, including Best Artist, Best Song, and Best Video. Taylor Swift follows behind with six nods, and she also earned a nom for Best Longform Video, a brand new category for the event. Nicki Minaj and Rosalía each earned five noms.


So, who took home the most from this year's ceremony, broadcasted live on MTV in more than 170 countries on November 13 from the PSD Bank Dome in Düsseldorf, Germany and co-hosted by Rita Ora and Taika Waititi.

2022 Midterms Elections.

New York City, USA. November 09th, 2022 (FOX News Channel). 9 ways Republicans can fix the disaster of the midterm elections. After the disappointing, for some of us shocking, 2022 election results, there must be a Republican effort to rethink what happened.

The danger is, with all the distractions and trivia of Washington, the effort could be the usual, surface-level review. Too often, hard problems and facts that challenge the institutional culture of Republican professionals are avoided. The bias against dealing with them is great because they seem impossible to solve. That scenario would be a disaster for Republicans in 2023. 

Too often, Republicans try to understand the world through limited models of government and politics which simply don’t reflect reality. This failure to think through and master the real world of contemporary power is tragic, and it weakens America’s future.

Consider how big the gap between potential and reality currently is. There is a huge cultural majority that disapproves of Big Government Socialism and favors Free Market Capitalism (18% to 82%). Most Americans also reject woke lectures on race and believe that a person’s character is more important than his or her skin color (91% are with Rev. Martin Luther King Jr. on this point). A cultural majority also deeply disapproves of brainwashing young children with radical ideas about sex and gender (72% oppose teaching school children they can change their gender). 

Republicans must learn why this massive cultural majority is not translating into a political majority. This will require sober self-reflection and serious analysis. It’s not a fluke that we can’t attract these people. We are simply failing to. In the politics of campaigning – and the act of governing – Republicans have not mastered the systems, principles, and patterns needed. Until we do that, we can’t win a landslide election and then govern effectively. A deep review of the Republican failure would look at things most post-election projects ignore – or facts from which they hide. Republicans must look at the real world, not the ideal world they imagine. 

  

1. Real Fact-Finding

Republicans must gather the facts. Virtually everyone’s initial analysis of the election results mistook individual races for voter behavior and extrapolated based on the misconceptions. The fact is: Republicans won substantially more U.S. House votes than Democrats. Currently 50.7% of House races went for Republicans versus 47.7% that went for Democrats. This was a six-point turnaround from Democrats' 50.8% to Republicans’ 47.7% margin in 2020.

As Dave Wasserman of the Cook Political Report put it: "Democrats fell off a cliff in Florida and New York, where their House candidates underperformed Biden’s 2020 margins on average by 13 points. GOP mini waves also hit California and Oregon where Democrats underperformed by 7.6 points each." None of these facts fit the initial analysis. So, fact-finding means reviewing all the major polls and comparing them with what really happened with different groups in different states.

2. Close the Resource Gap

Republicans must account for the real resource imbalance. Analysts too often simply match Republican fundraising dollars up against Democrat fundraising dollars. This is a mistake we’ve repeated for decades. It profoundly understates the scale of the challenge in reaching voters. The truth is Democrats’ resources are legion and can’t neatly be listed on a spreadsheet.

If "Saturday Night Live" savages Herschel Walker three days before the runoff, what is that worth? If Mark Zuckerberg pours $419 million into turnout efforts in Democrat precincts, how do you record or counter that? If the FBI and Twitter block the New York Post from reaching millions with its story about Hunter Biden’s laptop just weeks before the election, are they helping Democrats get elected?  

If Twitter kicks the incumbent president off its platform, is that an in-kind gift to the Biden campaign? If Google routinely blocks Republican fundraising appeals the last four days of the month, how much money are we losing? When the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban development organizes voter drives on the president’s order, are they serving Republican and Democrat voters equally? If famously liberal universities that actively punish conservative speech run voter registration operations, who do you think that helps? None of these efforts show up on traditional Federal Election Commission reports. Republicans must figure out how to codify and overcome them.

3. Compete in Modern Elections

The election calendar has changed, but Republicans don’t seem to understand the new requirements for effective competition. Voting starts in mid-September. Hoarding advertising money to mid-October doesn’t work anymore. Early voting is a fact. Republicans must learn to maximize it (and focus on non-voters more intensely). Shifting resources from late TV buys to early voting efforts may hurt consultants’ wallets, but it may win more elections. Republican nominees who come out of tough primaries with no money and stay off the air for six or seven weeks – while their Democrat opponents and the news media define them – become irrevocably damaged (see Mehmet Oz’s campaign in Pennsylvania). Republicans focus on campaigns. Democrats focus on elections. The difference is profound. Republicans must change.

4. Stop Hitting Yourself

Attacking our own candidates is harmful. Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell’s Super PAC spent $4 million against the GOP nominee in New Hampshire. It hurt. The McConnell Super PAC also publicly pulled out of Blake Masters’ race in Arizona in mid-October. That jarred the campaign and cost it momentum. While Republicans criticized our own candidates’ quality, the Democrats nominated a stroke victim who could barely talk in Pennsylvania and a radical who ultimately lost in Wisconsin. There is a grave danger that Trump vs. anti-Trump cannibalism in 2024 will lead to a 1964 Barry Goldwater vs. Nelson Rockefeller-style disaster. (We dropped to 140 seats in the House and 32 seats in the Senate). Republicans should all be interested in avoiding that.
5. Learn from Success

We need to study the clear, major GOP victories. The resounding victories in Florida, Ohio, Texas and Iowa should become the basis for a usable model. The House Republicans gained seats for the second election in a row (while the Senate Republicans were losing seats for the third election in a row). What can Republicans learn from our own successes?.

6. Get with the Times

The impact of university and college election efforts must be studied. The scale of the GOP defeat among the younger generation is a warning sign that we need profoundly new approaches if we are going to survive. If TikTok is legal, Republicans must learn to compete on it. The depth of younger Americans’ commitment to the environment and global warming requires a conservative climate solution. Debating whether the climate is an issue is a losing proposition. A modular nuclear power-hydrogen production system would be a conservative answer to carbon loading that would produce energy, jobs, a stronger economy, and virtually no carbon emissions. We need a fight over the best way to solve environmental problems rather than a pro-environment vs. anti-environment model. We know which side younger and college educated voters will pick. 

7. See You in Court  

 
Lawfare is a system Democrats understand and employ 365 days a year. Democrats routinely use the legal system to attack and delegitimize their opponents. They understand that the constant, subtle application of legal challenges can change the election environment – even if they don’t ultimately pass muster in court. Bombarding state legislatures and election officials with legal threats scare them into agreeing to radical election models that favor Democrats. This has become a niche legal industry for Democrats. In fact, there is a clear effort to drive Republican lawyers out of politics and leave the GOP defenseless against activist attacks. 

8. Breaking ID Politics 

We are now experiencing pure identity politics. Performance simply does not matter. How else do we explain New York re-electing the Democrat governor despite crime, inflation and the decay of New York City? How else do you explain the staunch Democrat control of Chicago – no matter how bad the city government performs? Breaking through on identity politics and figuring out what messages would get people to shift their votes would be a huge step toward turning the massive cultural majority into a political majority.

9. Learn Some Damn Empathy

The Democrats use symbols, fear, victimhood and emotions while Republicans tend to use facts, logic, reason, and rationality. The entire Democrat campaign on abortion was based on fear and potential victimization. For over half a century, the racial politics of the left have emphasized fear and emotion. The recent consolidation of the sexual politics vote has been based on fear of repression, elimination of the rights, and job discrimination.

Five highlights from CPAC Texas 2022.

Dallas, Texas (Washington Examiner) August 07th, 2022. Here are five highlights you may have missed: Trump threatens to campaign against Manchin — but he's not up for reelection this cycle

Former President Donald Trump threatened to go to West Virginia to campaign against the Mountain State’s Sen. Joe Manchin if his deal with Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer (D-NY) on a healthcare, tax, and climate spending bill known as the Inflation Reduction Act passes.

Orban addresses CPAC

Hungarian Prime Minister Viktor Orban addressed the conference after making controversial remarks about his view that Europeans should not “become peoples of mixed race.”

Orban has governed as an authoritarian but has been embraced by the U.S. far right for his condemnations of “globalism,” liberalism, and mass migration.

"The horrors of Nazis and communists happened because some Western states in continental Europe abandoned that Christian values, and today’s progressives are planning to do the same. They want to give up on Western values and create a new world, a post-Western world. Who is going to stop them if we don’t?" the Hungarian leader said.

Trump wins straw poll, with DeSantis gaining ground

Shortly before his address to the conference, Trump won the conference’s straw poll for the Republican nominee in 2024. Trump is widely expected to seek a second term in the White House and teased such a bid during his address, but he has not formally declared his candidacy. 

The straw poll is limited to attendees of the conference, who are generally strong fans of Trump, and is not reflective of the general electorate or even necessarily the wider Republican base. It does, however, offer a snapshot of the views of conservative activists.
Trump led the straw poll of potential Republican candidates with 69% support, followed by Gov. Ron DeSantis (R-FL) at 24%. No other potential candidate, including Sen. Ted Cruz (R-TX), who addressed the home-state crowd Friday to enthusiastic applause, broke 2%. However, in a field without Trump, DeSantis led the pack.

Jan 6. riot defendant heckles GOP congressman to applause

Pro-Trump social media personality and Jan. 6 riot defendant Brandon Straka confronted Rep. Andy Biggs (R-AZ) onstage on Friday, arguing lawmakers have not done enough to help him and his fellow riot defendants, to the cheers of attendees. Straka said he attended the Capitol riot, was on the steps, and was later arrested. He attended the conference to conduct what he called “performance art,” sitting in a cell while crying, accompanied by audio recordings of the riot defendants describing their arrests.

Straka pleaded guilty to a misdemeanor charge of engaging in disorderly and disruptive conduct in the Capitol Building or grounds. He avoided jail time but received 90 days of home confinement and three years' probation at his sentencing. Prosecutors said he provided "significant information" to investigators about pro-Trump "Stop The Steal" organizers, including Ali Alexander, Amy and Kylie Kremer, and Cindy Chafian, offering details that were "valuable in the government's prosecution."

Congressman Biggs is now getting heckled by members of the crowd who view people charged for January 6 crimes as political prisoners after Straka says no sitting congressman has tried to help him. The House committee investigating the Jan. 6 riot said Biggs was among Republican lawmakers who sought presidential pardons for the events surrounding the event. Biggs has denied the claim.

Marjorie Taylor Greene defends Alex Jones

Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-GA) defended Alex Jones at the conference on Friday, the same day he was ordered to pay $45.2 million in punitive damages to the parents of a victim of the 2012 mass shooting at Sandy Hook Elementary School. Greene, who has a personal account that has been suspended from Twitter, claimed social media companies are trying to silence those on the Right, citing Jones as evidence of Big Tech's ideological crackdown in her view.

“Somebody like Alex Jones, who did say some things but yet he is being politically persecuted right now and being forced to pay out millions and millions of dollars, and no one agrees with what he said, but what we’re tired of is the political persecution,” Greene said during an onstage interview.
