Republicans must WIN the 2026 Midterm Elections, and we must use every appropriate tool – whether you vote early, absentee, by mail, or in-person, we must swamp the Radical Left Dumocrats with massive turnout! SO IMPORTANT – PLEASE GET OUT AND VOTE. MAKE AMERICA GREAT AGAIN!
Detroit has been under Democrat control for over 60 years, and too many families are still waiting for change.
I was raised here. I’ve seen the neglect firsthand. God has blessed me with the opportunity to fight for those who can’t fight for themselves.
That’s why I’m running. The whole state of Michigan deserves better.
REPUBLICANS
At 35% voter turnout, you lose.
At 65% voter turnout, you win most of the time.
At 75% voter turnout, you get a congressional majority and can actually pass policy.
At 80% voter turnout, you get a supermajority and can pass the agenda.
Democrats only hold power because voters allow them to.
GET OUT AND VOTE… VOTE RED
Between now and Election Day there will be a massive disinformation campaign run by the Democrats, Establishment Republicans and Legacy Media to demoralize Republican voters. Don't get suckered. Don't believe any of the polling data or the fake news. Don't be influenced by GOP grifters like Karl Rove. We must push back against this Communist insurgency. We must vote Republican in November.
I was born in 1961 in AMERICA.
So my mommy named me WILLIAM MICHAEL HOLTE, not Bakari, Tariq, Jabari, Kwame, or Kofi.
I’m not African-American, I’m AMERICAN.
I’m not a black American, I’m AMERICAN.
In school, I recited The Pledge of Allegiance TO AMERICA - and I meant it.
I went to a WHITE Catholic college, not an HBCU.
I got ahead through hard work and good education, not DEI and Affirmative Action.
My loyalty belongs to America, not to any FAKE AFRICAN identity.
My history is American history, not African history.
My colors are red, white, and blue - not red, black, and green.
My anthem is the Star-Spangled Banner, not the Black National Anthem.
My flag is the Stars and Stripes, not the African Union banner.
My symbol is the bald eagle, not the Black Power fist or the letters "BLM."
I celebrate Christmas, not Kwanzaa.
I celebrate Independence Day, not Juneteenth.
I support The U.S. Constitution, not the weaponization of it against American citizens.
And my future is tied to America’s success, not to racist democrat takeover policies.
Anyone else feel this way?
People can't understand how I can be "black" and "gay" and not be a democrat.
Here's the thing:
I’m never gonna vote for the side that cheered when Charlie Kirk was executed.
Never gonna vote for the people who thought it was great that Ashley Babbitt was shot in the back at the Capital.
Never gonna vote for the people who think it’s OK to kill babies in the womb.
Never gonna vote for open borders.
Never gonna vote for DEI policies that enable us to stay uneducated.
Never gonna vote for SOCIALISM.
Never gonna vote to put insane men in women’s sports, locker rooms, and prisons.
Never gonna vote for the people who cosplay in hijabs and kente cloth.
Never gonna vote for the party that creates and embraces fatherless homes.
Never gonna vote for the party that needs me bitter, fearful and resentful so they can keep my vote in their pocket.
My skin is not a party registration.
My vote is not theirs to command.
I vote for MY COUNTRY - not THE CULT.
Now do you get me?
I was born and raised in Canada. I came to the US (legally) in 1980 for College and became a green card holder in 1986 and a citizen in 1998. I renounced my Canadian citizenship in 2016 and I am a 100% committed US Citizen. I have only one question for my old compatriots in Canada with regard to this “trade war”… what did you think was going to happen when you tried to flex on Trump? Seriously. Canada’s economy is a rounding error to the US and yet Canada’s trade representatives think they’re a significant world economic player. They are not. Canada is a socialistic shit-hole. Their “free universal heath care” is bankrupt. Need surgery? Wait. Sometimes so long you’ll die before you get it. Work opportunities for young Canadians? Very few. And if this trade war isn’t settled soon, there will be 500,000 layoffs/lost jobs. So, Canada, stop pretending you have negotiating leverage and make a deal. The alternative to that, a US trade war, will crush your economy. Just sayin’
My Democrat brothers and sisters, look around you.
Crime. Drugs. Poverty. Squalor.
And yall keep voting for these conditions to stay exactly the same.
Why?
Why yall keep handing the keys to the same people who turned your neighborhoods into the 3rd world?
Why yall call it loyalty when it looks like surrender?
They promised you justice and delivered another drive-by funeral.
They promised you equity and filled your schools and hospitals with illegals.
Then they point at a White man on television and tell you he is the reason for all your troubles.
TRUTH: If voting Democrat was the cure, your city would not still look like a jungle.
Sixty years of one party and y’all are still waiting on a miracle from the same machine that needs you broken.
Broken people are easy to lecture.
Broken people are easy to harvest on Election Day.
Look around you one more time.
America aint holding you back.
That's the party you keep sending back to City Hall.
The plantation is closed.
Stop voting like you still live on it.
🚨 I BECAME THE FIRST BLACK REPUBLICAN IN MY FAMILY AT 18 FOR A REASON: I COULDN’T SUPPORT OBAMA IN 2012 AND STAY TRUE TO MY CHRISTIAN FAITH. TODAY, I STILL BELIEVE DEMOCRAT POLICIES ARE HOSTILE TO CHRISTIAN VALUES.

My Democrat brothers and sisters, a question.
When are yall gonna get what you voting for?
Every election yall religiously vote Democrat.
Then yall cry about racism and white supremacy still being your biggest problem.
When are the Democrats you vote for gonna fix these issues for you?
We have Black billionaires.
We have Black politicians.
We have Black athletes.
We have Black celebrities.
We have Black mayors running city after city.
So how is America still against us?
It’s not.
We are against ourselves.
And we prove that every time we vote Democrat and then act shocked when the same problems are waiting at the bus stop.
If racism was the whole story, your cities would not look like this after sixty years of one-party rule.
If white supremacy is still the problem, why didn't Obama fix that during his EIGHT YEARS?
Look, yall gonna do what you want but I'm just saying GET WHAT YOU VOTING FOR!
God already opened the door.
Faith, family, and work will walk you through it.
Another Democrat ballot will not.
The plantation is closed.
Stop decorating it.
My colleague from South Dakota suggests here that the talking filibuster hasn’t been used in a century, and that it was not used to pass the Civil Rights Act of 1964.
He’s mistaken.
As I’ve explained to the entire Senate GOP on multiple occasions, the talking filibuster *was* used effectively to break the weeks-long filibuster mounted against the Civil Rights Act of 1964.
Leader Thune and others point out that the Senate ultimately invoked cloture on the Civil Rights Act, and on that basis wrongly conclude that the talking filibuster was *not* the tool used to achieve that victory.
This argument ignores the fact that this is *how* the Senate closed a staggering 30-vote cloture deficit in 1964. After many weeks of fighting a losing battle, filibustering senators predictably started to lose their resolve to hold up the bill indefinitely, especially when they realized how hard they’d have to work to keep the effort alive.
So they started proposing and supporting amendments to the bill to make it more palatable and help them save face.
I still maintain that this is a viable approach that could work well—even better—in the context of the SAVE America Act, especially considering that the bill is less complicated and less controversial with voters than was the Civil Rights Act, and currently has a cloture deficit of only 10 votes—tiny compared to the 30-vote deficit faced by the Civil Rights Act of 1964.
My colleague also mistakenly suggests that Senate Republicans would have to vote to enforce the talking filibuster. That simply isn’t true; no vote is required for this step. All we need is a majority leader willing to announce that we’re getting on the bill and that we will continue to debate it until it passes—all with the understanding that if filibustering senators fail to show up to debate it, we can “call the question” and pass it with a simple majority.
That understanding, in turn, is what motivates the filibustering senators to show up and speak, but it’s also what naturally causes them to tire of the exercise after a few weeks, at which point they start looking for a face-saving off-ramp.
Finally, Leader Thune suggests that the talking filibuster would be thwarted by being “reset” every time Democrats offered an amendment. There’s a valid point in there, but it’s not a good reason not to invoke the talking filibuster. It appears he’s referring indirectly to paragraph 1(a) of Senate Rule 19 (the two-speech rule). While offering a new amendment can create a new question under longstanding practice, the September 25, 1986 precedent narrowed how rigidly the two-speech rule is applied by clarifying that many procedural actions do not count as speeches at all.
Particularly in light of that 1986 clarification, it’s been a long time since I’ve suggested we consider rigid enforcement of Rule 19’s two-speech limit as part of a talking filibuster strategy for the SAVE America Act. We don’t need it!
Nor was that rule aggressively enforced during the Senate’s consideration of the Civil Rights Act of 1964. Majority Leader Mike Mansfield correctly focused on requiring actual debate from filibustering senators rather than looking for technical ways to shut the debate down.
To give credit where it’s due, I appreciate what Leader Thune said in this interview about the possibility of passing some iteration of SAVE America using budget reconciliation—a procedure in which there is no 60-vote cloture hurdle. I’ve been skeptical of this approach in the past, but I’m starting to believe the SAVE America Act has more budgetary features than I initially considered possible.
That said, reconciliation is fraught with all kinds of problems, challenges, risks, and uncertainties. Also, failure can be far too easy to blame on the parliamentarian.
I’m open to considering the reconciliation path, but we should make this decision with our eyes open. To do that, we need to separate fact from fiction when it comes to the talking filibuster.
Meet the senior staff running Mitch McConnell's DC office. You pay their salaries. You're entitled to know what they're keeping from us.

Let them know how you feel.
ZERO Democrats showed up for our discussion today on unaccompanied alien children.
Witnesses described to @RepEliCrane how cartels would create Sears-like booklets of children for trafficking.
This included charging more for younger children or virgins.
Democrats don't care.
Dear @WhiteHouse, my name is Rodney Smith Jr., founder of Raising Men & Women Lawn Care Service in Huntsville, Alabama. Through our 50 Yard Challenge, over 6,000 kids across the country have signed up to mow free lawns for the elderly, disabled, veterans, active-duty military, first responders, and single parents. With America celebrating its 250th birthday this year and me also being born on July 4th, I wanted to humbly ask if a few kids from our program and myself could travel to Washington, D.C. to help mow the White House lawn for this historic celebration.
More than anything, I want these kids to see how a simple act of service something as ordinary as mowing a lawn for someone in need can lead to extraordinary places. What better lesson in community service than showing them that helping others can take them all the way to our nation’s capital? I’d also love to bring my American flag-themed mower in hopes that the President might sign it, so I can later auction it off and donate 100% of the proceeds to a nonprofit supporting veterans. It would be a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to highlight the importance of service, patriotism, and the impact young people can have when they choose to make a difference. 🇺🇸
