Judicial Appointments. DJT's new administration needs to put pedal to the metal on judicial appointments.

Right now the breakdown of all federal judges is:

496 appointed by Dem POTUSs;
382 by Repub POTUSs.
Biden appointed fewer than DJT, 214 to 237 as of today.

But, Biden still has two months to put thru appointments, and has about 40 pending. That would then eclipse DJT's number.
It appears to me that more of the older judges (pre-2010) are Republican appointed based on which POTUS appointed them. 145 of them were appointed by the two Bushs & Reagan. Only 33 were appointed by Bill.
DJT needs to replace as many of the older judges (178 of them total) as possible, & start biting into Obama's number (249) too.

The judiciary leans overall too far left, including some Republican appointees. It needs to be counter-balanced w/conservatives & libertarians.
To achieve that will require at least 300 judges to be appointed by DJT. That will require an all out effort by his judicial appointments team. This needs to be a top priority for the entire 4 years, but especially the first 2 years.

And also to stop any more judges from Biden.
No part of the Right of Center liberty, security, & small government agenda will be safe if the federal courts stay as unbalanced as they now are.

This is a critical priority that can't be derailed for any other agenda item. It must run continuously alongside everything else.
For those who are interested, here is the breakdown by POTUS:

Biden - 214
Obama - 249
Clinton - 33

Trump - 237
Bush II - 123
Bush I - 11
Reagan - 11

House update. As we know the Republican took control yesterday with 2 non-California seats. Since then 2 more seats have resolved; 1 for Ds, 1 for Rs. These were tossup seats.

There are now 6 races left. Alaska's at-large seat and 5 CA races. Right now it stands: R219 to R210.
Of the 6 remaining races, Rs will almost certainly win the AK race.

3 of the CA races that are D leaners - 1 is still w/in 1%, 1 is 2.4%D, and 1 is 2.5%R.

So, Rs will likely take 1, maybe 2 of these races.
The last 2 CA races are tossup ones - they are both tight races; less than 1% difference, with about 15% left to count. They have see-sawed back and forth, & could go either way here at the end. We'll see.

Best case scenario: Rs take 4 of the remaining 6.
Worst case scenario: Rs take only 2 of the 6.

These liberal loons are lucky that Trump ISN’T the kind of person who would illegally & unconstitutionally use the powers of his office to target his enemies & critics, because some of them actually fucking deserve it.
They won’t like having accountability imposed on them within constitutional limits either, but that’s too fucking bad.

Fortunately for them, our love (& DJT’s) for the Constitution will protect them from what some of them did to him.
It’s a disgusting smear of him & us that these Leftists claim the Right of Center will act like the fascists they fantasize us to be & that they actually are.

If you’re a traditionalist & planning to vote tomorrow, as I am, be sure to have a plan.

Get on your official state election site today & double check the opening & closing hours of the polls (& the address if it’s new to you.) Put that in your phone or write it down.
Don’t let the day get away from you because of other things. Plan to go at a specific time & plan around it.

But pick out two times during the day when you could go, in case stuff happens tomorrow & you have to change your schedule around.
Kids tomorrow? Arrange w/your hubs, partner, their dad, etc. ahead of time -tonight- so both of you can vote while the kids are being watched.

Or ask a friend or relative, or hire a babysitter for right after school.

Or take them with you.

Do not let them keep you from voting.

Election prediction.

My personal view is that the Lichtman keys are the best tool for predicting the outcome of an election. They cover the things that actually factor into why people vote as they do.

That being said, I don’t always agree with how Lichtman scores the keys.
For example, this year he claims 8 of the keys favor Harris (scored as “trues”), which means she should win.

But when I score them, I get at a minimum 6, & more fairly 8, & more aggressively 10, as “false,” which would mean a Trump win.

Accordingly, I think DJT wins this year.
For reference, in 2020, Lichtman had Biden comfortably winning, but on my scoring, I had Trump & Biden teetering on one key - it could go either way, which I interpreted as a super close race - as it turned out to be.
