Let’s start with my Day 2 post-election thought that while Tuesday’s midterm vote was not a cavalry, it was a GOP platoon.  

There’s no question the GOP is going to take the House, and that is an enormous, earth-shaking event. President Biden is dismissing it, but he may think otherwise in a few weeks. 

Meanwhile, there’s still a path to the Republicans taking the Senate: Adam Laxalt in Nevada could be the party’s 50th Senate vote and Herschel Walker, in a runoff in Georgia, may be the 51st. By the way, it’s also too soon to write off Blake Masters in Arizona. There are more than 600,000 votes still not counted, and the vast majority of them look likely to go Republican. So buckle your seatbelts: Platoons can be very powerful.  

Next, I want to turn to Mr. Biden’s presser late yesterday afternoon. Many of us have wondered whether he’ll change his tune now that he’s losing one or both houses of Congress. Well, the answer is no if this exchange is any indication: 

Reporter: “Seventy-five percent of voters say the country is heading in the wrong direction despite the results of last night. What in the next two years do you intend to do differently to change people’s opinion of the direction of the country, particularly as you contemplate a run for president in 2024?” 

Mr. Biden: “Nothing, because they’re just finding out what we’re doing.” 

He has no intention of changing his big-government socialist policies. I don’t know if that would change if the Republicans take the Senate on top of the House, but I didn’t hear any hints from Mr. Biden. When he says “nothing” — as in, nada, no change, because people are just finding out what he’s doing — well, I’d call that one a head-scratcher. Wouldn’t you?  

So for two years people didn’t know what you were doing, Mr. President? You were just kind of sneaking through, in quiet whispers, $5 trillion in new inflationary spending, a vast war on fossil fuels, the biggest regulatory binge, an open border, a fentanyl drug problem, a crime wave — you don’t think people knew this, Mr. President? They’re just now finding out the day after the election? Really?  

I know the election was a lot closer than many of us predicted or hoped for, but you’re going to get one big check and balance when the GOP takes over the House of Representatives. That’s a big story in this election, which as usual is under-covered by the mainstream media.  

Losing the House is not going to be any fun for you, Mr. Biden. 

Then, of course, Mr. Biden once again repeated his fraudulent statement that he inherited an economy that was reeling (sometimes he says “in ruins”), when in fact it was growing at 6.5 percent. That piece of fraud about the “reeling economy” is what led to all the inflationary spending. So a major untruth triggered an inflationary wave, which has done great damage to the economy and family budgets.  

Then, Mr. Biden accused the newly re-elected Senator Johnson of moving to cut Medicare and Social Security, which is a big, fat, flat-out Lie, with a capital L. 

Mr. Johnson was on my show last night and talked about the need for fiscal restraint and less federal spending. He specifically referred to discretionary programs, not the big entitlements. In Mr. Johnson’s Wall Street Journal op-ed this morning, he couldn’t have been clearer about aiming at discretionary spending.  

Also yesterday, Mr. Biden once again Pinocchio-ed his way through some major league falsehoods on oil and gas companies. Finally, the president said he’s not really sure if he can break the back of inflation, but he made it very clear he’s not going to support any Republican proposals that will make inflation worse.  

Do you remember any Republican proposals to make inflation worse? As I recall, all 50 Republican senators voted against the original $2 trillion emergency relief plan in March 2021, and all of them again voted against the fraudulently named Inflation Reduction Act. 

So, to be honest, I don’t know what Mr. Biden is talking about here. This is part of his alternative universe thing.  

As I have said before, the GOP House is going to change a whole lot in Washington, regardless of whether Mr. Biden gets it. There’s still plenty of vote-counting room for a GOP Senate, too. 

Like I said, the platoon is coming.
