Tim Scott Makes Confident Pitch in Final Weeks Before Midterms

The Daily Signal - Wed, 10/21/2026 - 12:10

With the midterm elections rapidly approaching, Tony Kinnett had Sen. Tim Scott, R-S.C. on Tuesday’s episode of “The Tony Kinnett Cast” to discuss how Scott is feeling about the state of the race.

Scott, who also heads the National Republican Senatorial Committee this cycle, said he is “thankful to be healthy, happy, and excited about the results that we’re going to have in just about two weeks.”

Much has been made of the U.S. Senate race in South Carolina between Republican Sen. Darline Graham and Democrat Annie Andrews. While some pundits and pollsters claim it could be “a swing state,” Scott refuses to see it that way.

“Well, that depends on what kind of swing you’re talking about. Politically, we’re not a swing state, but we have lots of swings in our state, but it’s not because of politics, it’s because we like people to take time and enjoy the relaxing atmosphere of the deep South,” Scott quipped.

He insisted that Graham “is fine” and “in good shape,” while he took some shots at Andrews, who he says is “out of her mind” and is “a Democrat who happens to be a socialist.”

Kinnett brought up warning signs for Democrats, including how it “didn’t happen” that they tried to moderate, as some Democrats briefly tried to do after losing the 2024 elections, though “they got disavowed by the DNC.”

For this cycle, there’s been a lack of party registration, while early voting numbers have not been all that impressive. There have also been particularly high disapproval ratings for the Democratic Party.

“Do you think that’s going to create a sense of malaise kind of with the standard Democrats maybe in the South who might traditionally come out and vote?” Kinnett asked Scott.

It’s not just the South, though, Scott responded, calling out radicals Abdul El-Sayed in Michigan, Troy Jackson in Maine, and Angie Nixon in Florida.

“We’re just going to see folks staying at home, maybe not voting for either party because they’re just frustrated, disillusioned if you’re a Democrat,” Scott pointed out.

The senator in particular had strong words for James Talarico in Texas, especially with how “we haven’t heard as much about the fact that he said the capitalism, that transformed my life economically and my mother’s life, is white supremacy.”

“Can you see me?!” Scott continued. “I mean, that’s just ridiculous to hear those kinds of inflammatory thoughts about America and Americans.”

“So we’ve got work to do. We’re getting it done. And our voters are showing up. It will show out, and we’ll have a Senate controlled by Republicans,” Scott predicted, as he also spoke to the possibility of confirming a new Supreme Court justice.

The issue of Democrats, especially Talarico and El-Sayed, “struggling desperately to reach black voters” also came up, as Kinnett and Scott discussed how to reach black Americans, with school choice cited as an important topic throughout the interview.

Kinnett asked the senator, as someone “who has has been a champion of the American Dream and who detests the pandering to black men and women everywhere,” what the response has been like.

Scott shared how black men tell him that they’ve been “insulted” and “infuriated by the pandering of the Left,” about this idea that “somehow we need someone to lift us out of poverty.” He also rejected the “paternalism of the Democrat Party,” which he said is palpable.

The senator also pointed out that black men voted for Trump in record numbers in the 2024 election and argued that “we need to stay focused on the issues that matter to every single American,” which are the same issues as in 2024. He particularly focused on education and rejecting socialism, which we must ensure “never sees the light of day because it’s really bad for poor people.”

The Great Society earned particular rebuke from Scott, especially how it spent “$7 trillion kicking men out of their own households” and “led to a remarkable place, where too many African American households lost a breadwinner because Democrats said the best way to help people and families was to kick the guy out and send a check in.”

Scott pointed to a more recent example, with then-President Joe Biden in 2021 sending checks to each household, resulting in 9% inflation. “Today, we did the exact opposite. We said you can keep more of your money,” resulting in the lowest poverty rate in American history for all Americans, including children, as Trump himself has been touting.

CAIR Action Backs Texas Democrat Gina Hinojosa for Governor

The Daily Signal - Wed, 10/21/2026 - 11:50

Democrat candidate Gina Hinojosa, who is running for Texas governor against Gov. Greg Abbott, is now being supported by the Council on American-Islamic Relations.

Abbott’s campaign released a press release revealing that CAIR Action, a 501(c)(4) affiliate of CAIR dedicated to “engaging, educating, and mobilizing Muslim voters,” supports Hinojosa in the race.

The state of Texas declared CAIR and the Muslim Brotherhood as Foreign Terrorist and Transnational Criminal Organizations under the Texas Penal Code and the Texas Property Code in 2025.

The proclamation, signed by Abbott, notes that CAIR is an “Islamist organization that, according to the Federal Bureau of Investigations, was founded as a ‘front group’ for ‘Hamas and its support network’ in the United States.”

The announcement comes alongside Abbott’s campaign highlighting how Hinojosa has actively advocated for the Muslim community in the Texas Legislature.

During the 85th Legislative Session, Hinojosa voted against House Bill 45, legislation that requires the Texas Supreme Court to adopt rules and provide judicial instructions ensuring foreign law, judgments, and arbitration awards do not supersede Texas law in certain family law cases. The bill ensures that all family law cases comply with U.S. and Texas constitutional protections and public policy and keeps foreign laws out of these cases.

Hinojosa was just one of eight members of the Texas House to vote against the bill, and she supports judges using Sharia in Texas courts.

In the 88th Legislative Session, Hinojosa voted against Senate Bill 1900, a Texas law that allowed Abbott to designate organizations like the Muslim Brotherhood and CAIR as foreign terrorist organizations. It was signed into law by Abbott in 2023, just two years before Abbott declared both CAIR and the Muslim Brotherhood as terrorist organizations.

Additionally, during the 89th Legislative Session, Hinojosa voted against House Bill 4211, a bill that regulates business entity-owned residential developments by requiring disclosures, banning discrimination in ownership transfers, and mandating U.S. or Texas courts for disputes. Abbott said the bill blocks residential developments “from creating Sharia compounds.”

“It’s no surprise that a known Islamic terror organization prefers Gina Hinojosa in the governor’s race,” Texans for Greg Abbott Press Secretary Eduardo Leal said. “Gina Hinojosa has voted in favor of Muslim-only compounds across Texas, voted against giving the State of Texas the authority to designate foreign terrorist organizations, and supported judges using Sharia law in Texas courts.”

“Gina’s pattern of support for a foreign terrorist organization is not only dangerous, but shows she consistently sides with radical extremists over law-abiding Texans,” he added.

Hinojosa’s campaign did not respond to a request for comment by the time of publication.

Socialism Isn’t Just Deadly—It’s Soul-Crushing

The Daily Signal - Wed, 10/21/2026 - 11:30

Far-left political influencer Hasan Piker was recently grilled on a satirical internet show—and the clips it generated were gold.

“Now, Karl Marx said, ‘To each according to his needs.’ You live in a $2.7 million house,” the host said. “Why are your needs more important than 90% of other Californians?”

Piker appeared uncomfortable as he answered—and it wasn’t because he was fully decked out in a Mao suit. 

To put it simply, proudly sporting the uniform of a regime that took the lives of an estimated 80 million people, all while enjoying the prosperity of a $2.7 million house and invitations to Oscar parties, isn’t a good look.

But of the socialist states Piker views favorably, former Yugoslavia arguably ranks among the highest. He once published a video titled “Yugoslavia Was Awesome!” in which he praised aspects of the former socialist country, including its living standards.

That idea might seem laughable to survivors like Slavenka Drakulic—literally.

In 1992, she published her book “How We Survived Communism and Even Laughed,” which recounts the stories of daily life under communism in Eastern Europe. While Piker may shrug off the textbook figures on communism’s death tolls, he may be less familiar with one of its nearly invisible effects: the subtle erosion of human dignity, hope, and personal responsibility.

Drakulic’s book brings a magnifying glass to these stories, starting with an account of the life of her friend Tanja. After the death of her lover and the destruction of her journalistic reputation for mildly criticizing nationalization, Tanja committed suicide.

For those under socialist rule, a lack of faith in the future was a characteristic feature of life. Everyone around Drakulic seemed to assume the permanence of the communist state.

“What communism instilled in us was precisely this immobility,” she wrote. “The absence of a future, the absence of a dream, of the possibility of imagining our lives differently.”

For Tanja, that loss of hope proved fatal.

Holocaust survivor Viktor Frankl wrote about a similar effect in his well-known book “Man’s Search for Meaning.”

Drawing from his experience in a concentration camp, Frankl concluded that the individuals who were able to persevere held on to a crucial ingredient for life: hope. Even in barbaric conditions, hope allowed prisoners to maintain their dignity and will to live.

Ordinary lives—not just political dissidents—were crushed under the weight of socialist regimes.

“Not big heroes, political prisoners, or dissidents,” Drakulic wrote, “but people who just could not stand it anymore.”

In a society with concentrated state power, citizens increasingly lose the sense that they have a stake in molding the future—and that has a devastating effect not only on hope, but also on individual responsibility.

Litter was therefore pervasive. Drakulic wrote that citizens, having lost a sense of their agency, behaved as if “the public belonged to nobody.”

She continued, “If you can’t destroy the system, you can certainly destroy a telephone booth, ticket machine, or flowers in a park. In this silent war, the losers are our cities.”

Frustration with the system found expression in small acts of neglect. The physical decay of the urban landscape is a mirror image of a population hollowed out from within.

Communism is economically unsustainable—that much is gleaned from the failure of the USSR and its satellite states. But even deeper is its spiritual cost. Forcing humans to live in impoverished conditions, fearful of the all-seeing eye of the state, degrades trust, freedom, and creativity; it degrades the human soul. We must heed Drakulic’s warning of the spiritual rather than merely economic cost of collectivism.

As she stated in the 1990s, “We may have survived communism, but we have not outlived it.” That is because communism is so much more than an economic ideology—it seeps into the very mind and soul of individuals forced to live under its reign.
