What Caused The Red Wave?

Darrell Castle talks about last Tuesday’s election results and tries to make some sense out of what happened. Transcription / Notes WHAT CAUSED THE RED WAVE? Hello this is Darrell Castle with today’s Castle Report. This is the 5th day of November in this the year of our Lord 2021 and on this report, I will be talking about last Tuesday’s election results and looking for an answer to what caused the massive swing in voter sentiment that turned so many traditionally blue offices into a sea of red. Was it as the president described it, just a bunch of extremely conservative Trump supporters along with people upset because congress has delayed passage of build back better boondoggles. I will start by saying that I don’t think President Biden is correct in his explanation of the results. In fact, his reasoning makes me think he is at minimum borderline delusional. To say that the American people are so upset that congress is reluctant to pass his trillion-dollar spending bills and they took it out on unsuspecting Democrats at the polls is delusional, but I suppose he had to think of something that was not his fault. Surely, he understands that the American people can see that his unrestrained money creation in the face of steadily rising prices is causing extreme hardship. He is in the pocket, the purse, the kitchen, and the business of every American family. He and his party have rejected the problems of the middle class working American and last Tuesday those workers gave him the middle finger. Every time a person goes to the store and hamburger is 50 cents or a dollar more per pound and at the gas station the cost is 50 cents or a dollar more per gallon that family just took a pay cut. If they work for a small business as most people do, then that business probably can not afford to raise wages. If they work for a large company that can afford to raise wages, then those pay raises are passed on to customers and inflation is thereby fueled ultimately making the situation even worse. The president tells us that his new spending proposals will be free of tax increases for those making less than $400,000 per year. First of all, theft is theft whether the victim can afford it or not, but also the increased spending taxes and economically kills the working people for the very reasons listed above. Every increase in the cost of living is a tax born by working people, but not so much by the moneyed class. I therefore conclude that he and the radical left of his party are delusional and completely out of touch and out of empathy for the average working American. People don’t want his handouts in an effort to salve some of the problems he created. Oh, they will take them as most won’t reject free money, but what they really want and what they need is a good paying job with some dignity. That’s quite a formula the Democrats have, first destroy the economy, then try to repair it by printing free money for their cronies thus fueling massive inflation. Yes, there are some economic geniuses working in this administration. Let me change direction for a minute and talk about what happened, at least in the state of Virginia. That state conducts its statewide elections in odd numbered years and restricts the governor to one term although a second term is OK once a term is missed. That is what happened with the Democrat candidate Terry McAuliffe who was seeking a second term after missing a term. He was beaten by two points by Glenn Youngkin who has never held political office. Republican Winsome Sears a Jamaican immigrant who joined the Marine Corps to gain citizenship, was elected Lieutenant Governor. She presents a wonderfully emotional story of her family coming to America with $1.75 and nothing else back during the Kennedy Administration. She is an example, a living example, of what can be accomplished in America no matter what color you are. If that were all it would be plenty but there’s more. Republican Jason Miyares,
