Herschel Walker lost in the runoff for US Senate in Georgia. Peach State talk show host Erick Erickson breaks down the race:

The Democrats now have majority control of the Senate, including its committees.

I want to be very clear here — Herschel Walker did not need Donald Trump to win the GOP primary. He is, after all, Herschel Walker. Herschel Walker did not lose because of Trump, per se.

But Herschel Walker would never have entered the race but for Donald Trump convincing him to run.

No RNC Chair in the history of the whole party, beginning in 1856, has lasted as long as Ronna McDaniel without seeing at least one winning election season. The GOP has lost every election cycle since she took the job in 2017.

...

At the national level, we have the 2018 loss, the 2020 loss, the 2021 runoff loss, the 2022 loss, and the 2022 runoff loss.

So you’re going to keep the losingest RNC Chair in the party's history?

Ronna McDaniel has literally never had a winning election season as chair of the RNC.

To put this in perspective, Ronna McDaniel, who has served since 2017, is the longest serving RNC Chair to never have seen a winning season. Her immediate predecessor, Reince Priebus, served longer than her and saw 2014 and 2016’s winning seasons.

No RNC Chair in the history of the whole party, beginning in 1856, has lasted as long as Ronna McDaniel without seeing at least one winning election season. The GOP has lost every election cycle since she took the job in 2017.

Every Trump candidate except one lost in Georgia, and the one who won underperformed all the others who won.

Also, the two journalists who are publicly releasing the Twitter Files were stunned to learn that the social media company's Deputy General Counsel who was "vetting" the documents was the same man at the heart of the FBI's Russia collusion hoax.

IJR's Randy DeSoto explains:

Journalist Bari Weiss — who along with Matt Taibbi, has been tapped by Twitter CEO Elon Musk to publicly release the “Twitter Files” — was shocked to learn the person in charge of the process within the company: Deputy General Counsel Jim Baker.

He’s not to be confused with the televangelist of the 1980s, but does have his own claim to fame as the former top lawyer at the FBI.

The Washington Times reported that he served in that post for four years leaving in June 2020 to join Twitter.

His time at the FBI was eventful, including very much being involved with the Russia hoax, which was the bureau’s investigation into whether then-Republican presidential candidate Donald Trump’s campaign was colluding with the Kremlin to win the 2016 race.

Special counsel Robert Mueller’s team later concluded the Trump campaign did not collude with Russia.

Baker came over to Twitter in time to get wrapped up in helping suppress the Hunter Biden laptop story just prior to the 2020 presidential election.
