BREAKING: Veteran DOJ Official Says John Brennan’s TV Segments Denying “Tipping the Scales Against President Trump” May Count As Furthering The Conspiracy And Reset Statute Of Limitations For Prosecution

“...if he's literally talking about the conduct back in 2016, 17, if he's denying kind of tipping the scales against President Trump by getting this intelligence report out, that could work."

Dear Democrats whining about Democracy: please explain to America how, out of 21 Congressional seats representing the 6 New England states, there are ZERO Republican Representatives, even though 40% of the electorate are registered Republicans, 48% in New Hampshire alone?

Republican voters make up 40% of New England. Democrats control the district lines.

Result:

🔴 — 0

Victor Davis Hanson Perfectly Explains Why the Right Shouldn't Sabotage Trump Over Iran

"What's the alternative to Donald Trump's MAGA agenda?"

Trump is delivering historic domestic wins:

- Border closed

- Deportations and self-deportations surging

- Record levels of oil and gas production

- DEI is dead

- Universities forced to follow the law

- No men in women's sports

"If you sit out or you oppose Trump, de facto — whether you know it or not — you are favoring the alternate agenda."

These victories would never have happened under a Democrat or RINO president.

We should keep pushing to end this conflict and stay laser-focused on America First priorities.

But we should not give up or help the Democrats regain power by turning on Trump.

Had a parent-teacher conference this morning

My wife told me not to come

I came anyway

She said "please just listen and nod"

I said "I always listen"

She said "you listen like you're sitting in a boardroom looking for something to challenge"

That's how listening works

Nice classroom

Small chairs

I am 6'4" and was seated at a desk designed for someone who still believes in Santa Claus

My knees touched my chest

The teacher introduced herself

Shared her identified pronouns

I shared my identified adjectives

Smart and handsome

My wife closed her eyes

The teacher had a folder

Color-coded tabs

I respected the organization

She said our son is "a pleasure to have in class"

My wife smiled

I waited

That sentence is never the whole report

It's the executive summary before the risk section

She said "however"

There it is

She said he "asks a lot of questions"

I said "good"

She said "during quiet time"

I said "when is quiet time?"

She said "it's when students are expected to work independently and in silence"

I said "so he's the only one trying to get information and you've structured the environment to prevent it?"

My wife put her hand on my arm

I continued

The teacher said he recently told another student that "sharing pencils doesn't make sense if nobody brings their own"

I said "that's an accurate observation"

My wife squeezed harder

The teacher said she's concerned about his "resistance to group activities"

I said "he's not resistant. He just doesn't see the value of doing more work for the same grade."

The teacher said he also corrected her math on the whiteboard

I said "was he right?"

She paused

She said "that's not the point"

I said "it's a little bit the point"

My wife stood up

Sat back down

Compromise

The teacher pulled out an evaluation sheet

Categories like "works well with others" and "follows directions" and "respects classroom norms"

All subjective

Not a number on the page

I asked how these are graded

She said "based on observation"

I said "so one person's opinion with no second review?"

She said "it's professional judgment"

I said "my auditors say that too. Right before I disagree with them."

She looked at my wife

My wife said "I'm sorry about him"

I said "I'm sitting right here"

My wife said "I know"

The teacher said overall he's a bright kid and she just wants to make sure he learns to "collaborate"

I said "collaboration is important. But so is recognizing when you're the only one doing the work. He'll learn that again in college. And again in the real world. Might as well start now."

Nobody spoke

The teacher closed her folder

She said "I think we've covered everything"

I said "one more thing"

She braced herself

I said "his reading is above grade level. His math is strong. He asks hard questions and corrects mistakes when he sees them. I just want to make sure this school knows what it has."

The teacher looked at me differently

My wife looked at me differently

I said "that's all"

We left

In the car my wife was quiet

Then she said "he's turning into you"

I said "is that a good thing?"

She didn't answer

From the backseat he said "dad, why does the teacher count off for asking questions? Isn't that the whole point of school?"

I looked at my wife

She looked out the window

I said "yes. It is."

He said "I don't think she likes when I'm right"

I didn't say anything

Neither did my wife

Small chairs

Color-coded tabs

No follow-up items

But the kid's going to be fine

Let’s get my position on the Republican Party crystal clear. I’ve been a registered Republican since Bill Clinton turned the Oval Office into his own personal brothel. Now that Senate Majority John Thune refuses to protect election integrity, I am disgusted with my party. I will NEVER vote for a Democrat in my life, but the RINO elements destroying the Republican party are a disgrace. I am a devout follower of President Trump, and as a registered Independent will continue to vote with Republicans when they stand behind this great President and act like Republicans again. Democrats, the ragtag band of con artists and grifters that they are, manage to work together in lockstep, but getting Republicans to accomplish anything is like herding cats. It’s absolutely infuriating.

[Insurrection Barbie @DefiyantlyFree]

This didn’t begin Friday.

Carter started it.

He watched the Islamic Republic take power, watched American diplomats get seized and paraded on television for 444 days, spent the rest of his presidency negotiating with people who had already told us exactly what they were.

Reagan facilitated it.

October 23rd, 1983. A Hezbollah truck bomb funded and directed by Iran killed 241 United States Marines in Beirut while they slept. The deadliest single day for the Marine Corps since Iwo Jima. Reagan’s response? Tehran was heard clearly and never forgotten kill enough Americans at once and America will leave.

That lesson became the operational blueprint for every Iran-backed proxy attack for the next forty years.

Clinton ignored it.

1995 — a car bomb in Riyadh kills five Americans.

1996 — Khobar Towers. A massive truck bomb kills 19 United States Air Force personnel in Saudi Arabia. Nothing.

1998 — Embassy bombings in Africa.

2000 — USS Cole. Seventeen sailors killed. Clinton launched missiles at an empty training camp and an aspirin factory. Eight years. Hundreds of Americans dead or wounded. Zero consequences for Tehran.

Bush handed them the keys.

He called them the Axis of Evil correctly. Then invaded two countries simultaneously and handed Iran the greatest strategic gift in its history. Iranian Quds Force operatives flooded across the border funding, training, and arming the militias killing our soldiers.

And the response was to continue the war while avoiding direct confrontation with the country killing our people.

By the time Bush left office Iran had deeper influence in Iraq than we did.

Obama funded it.

This is where failure becomes unforgivable. The Green Revolution of 2009 where millions of Iranians in the streets begging for American support ignored.

The protesters were crushed. The regime survived. Then came the $150 billion in sanctions relief, sunset clauses that expired within a decade, zero restrictions on ballistic missiles, and zero restrictions on funding proxy terror networks.

Then came the cash. $1.7 billion. On pallets. On an unmarked plane. In the middle of the night. Delivered simultaneously with American hostages.

The regime used the imagery as propaganda for years and used the money to fund Hezbollah, Hamas, the Houthi expansion in Yemen, and the proxy militia networks in Iraq and Syria that spent the next decade killing Americans.

Obama literally funded the apparatus that put the drone into Tower 22.

Biden surrendered to it.

160-plus attacks on American forces from October 2023 forward. American soldiers killed in Jordan. Two Navy SEALs lost at sea intercepting Iranian weapons shipments to the Houthis.

Houthi missiles disrupting global shipping lanes.

Iranian proxies running operations across five countries.

Three Georgia soldiers died in their beds.

Then came Trump.

He looked at forty-five years of this record and did something no president had done since the hostages came home.

He said no.

Maximum pressure. IRGC designated as a foreign terrorist organization. Sanctions reimposed. The JCPOA abandoned. Soleimani the architect of Iranian proxy violence across the entire Middle East, personally responsible for hundreds of American deaths killed in a precision strike in January 2020.

The regime paralyzed.

The proxies recalibrated. The nuclear program set back. For the first time in four decades the regime faced a president it genuinely could not predict.

Then Trump left office. Biden came in. The pressure evaporated. The appeasement resumed. And the regime, patient as it has always been, went back to work.

And now we’re here.

So the next time someone tells you this is Trump’s war tell them they are brainless twats.

This isn’t Trump’s war.

This is forty-five years of American presidents refusing to finish it and one president finally deciding that the bill comes due.

If you are not capable of comprehending that move to Iran and defend the regime personally.
