At 16, Brian Banks was one of the best high school linebackers in America. USC had offered him a full scholarship. Pete Carroll personally called him.
One afternoon at school he made out with a classmate. Consensual. By the end of the day he was in jail, charged with kidnapping and rape.
She said he dragged her into a stairwell. It never happened.
The DNA came back negative. His mother sold her house and her car to pay for a lawyer.
He couldn’t make bail. He spent a year behind bars waiting for trial.
His lawyer told him: plead no contest, or risk 41 years in prison. He was 17. He took the deal.
He did 5 years in prison. Then 5 more on parole. Registered sex offender. GPS monitor on his ankle. Couldn’t go near schools or parks. No one would hire him.
Meanwhile, the girl and her mother sued the school district for not keeping her safe. They won $1.5 million.
In 2011, a Facebook friend request popped up on his screen.
It was her.
She wanted to “let bygones be bygones.”
Brian went to a private investigator. They hid cameras in the office and invited her to talk. She came by bus.
On tape, she admitted it. He never raped her. He never kidnapped her.
Then she said she still wouldn’t tell prosecutors the truth. Because she’d have to give back the money.
In May 2012, a judge cleared his name. The hearing took less than a minute.
10 years of his life. Gone in one lie. Erased in 60 seconds.
A few days later his phone rang. “I’m looking for a linebacker. You know where I can find one?”
It was Pete Carroll. The same coach who recruited him 10 years earlier.
He finally signed with the NFL’s Atlanta Falcons. At 27. The dream he had at 16.
She was ordered to pay $2.6 million back.
What should happen to someone who steals 10 years of your life with one lie?
🚨 GOP CIVIL WAR: TRUMP VS. MURDOCH
Rupert Murdoch's Wall Street Urinal is attacking Trump's tariffs for the election lost, but it’s about far more than just tariffs.
The City of London is out to sink the U.S. and revive globalization. The revival of the American System is the only solution.
Okay WHAT?!? 🚨 James Talarico got more votes for Senator in Texas during Midterms than any:
- Democrat Presidential candidate EVER
- Republican Governor EVER
- AND MORE VOTES THAN ANY REPUBLICAN PRESIDENT EVER in Texas other than Donald Trump
A Democrat senator beat every Republican President EVER in Texas other than Trump??
YEAH RIGHT
Here are the full totals going back through 2010:
- 2,737,481 votes, Rick Perry (R Governor 2010)
- 2,796,547 votes, Greg Abbott (R Governor 2014)
- 3,308,124 votes, Barack Obama (D President 2012)
- 3,877,868 votes, Hillary Clinton (D President 2016)
- 4,437,099 votes, Greg Abbott (R Governor 2022)
- 4,524,527 votes, Greg Abbott (R Governor 2026, unofficial)
- 4,569,843 votes, Mitt Romney (R President 2012)
- 4,656,196 votes, Greg Abbott (R Governor 2018)
- 4,685,047 votes, Donald Trump (R President 2016)
- 4,835,250 votes, Kamala Harris (D President 2024)
- 5,259,126 votes, Joe Biden (D President 2020)
- 5,444,982 votes, James Talarico (D Senate 2026, unofficial)
- 5,890,347 votes, Donald Trump (R President 2020)
- 6,393,597 votes, Donald Trump (R President 2024)
There is no way a Democrat Senator in Texas was able to get more votes than every Republican Governor Candidate EVER, more votes than every Democrat Presidential candidate EVER, and more votes than Mitt Romney, Trump in 2016, and every Republican President EVER in Texas
There is no conceivable way to ever believe this could be even remotely possible
🚨 HOLY SMOKES: Texas Democrats just filed nearly 20 bills to impose SWEEPING new firearm restrictions — on the VERY FIRST DAY they could ‼️
Days after winning the Texas House and the governor's mansion for the first time in DECADES, they went STRAGIHT for Second Amendment rights
They include:
- SB 80: Ban on "assault weapons," including possession
- HB 173 and others: FELONY to transfer many semiautomatic rifles to adults under 21
- HB 712: Lets cities and counties chip away at statewide gun protections
- HB 613: Background checks on private gun sales
- HB 659: Dealers must report people who buy multiple guns or magazines
HB 218 would also repeal the 2025 Texas law that BANNED red flag orders.
The only thing standing in the way right now is the Republican Texas Senate!
HOLD THE LINE, PATRIOTS.
THIS is what Democrat control looks like. Texas, you were warned. Turn red in the next election 🟥
American Pastor warns his church of the Islamic Takeover of America after what happened during Midterms
He shows his congregation all the Muslims that are now elected and will serve in American government
“Ladies and gentlemen, those of you who didn't vote, you voted. 255 Muslims who cannot, cannot swear allegiance to the Constitution. It is forbidden in Islam.
They must swear allegiance to Sharia law, which is a completely different government. On Tuesday, the United States of America said no to the republic and yes to the very government and military and religion that hit us on September 11th, 2001. We have surrendered. It's their party now”
‘Millions of Evangelical Christians failed to vote during the midterms. Look at the consequences. Most churches are now irrelevant social clubs’
- There are now over 255 Muslims elected serving in office
- 8 Muslims elected to Congress
• 97 Muslim candidates won election or reelection across federal, state, and local offices in 21 states
- More than 160 Muslims ran for office
He’s right it’s time to fight for your country. It’s time to use churches as voting bases just like Muslims do with mosques
If we don’t get serious about this, we will fall to Islam. The proof is as clear as day
“If Texas goes down, Islam knows the nation falls. Prepare your children, prepare your hearts, prepare your faith.”
Oil crashed the day after Democrats took Congress. Then Van Jones went on CNN and admitted the quiet part out loud.
The day after the election, Brent crude fell 8.7% in a single day. WTI fell 13% on the week. Worst week for oil since COVID. Nothing about the war changed overnight. Only the election ended.
And it is still falling this morning. WTI is down near $87 a barrel. Tankers are still getting hit near the Strait of Hormuz. But the fear is gone, right on schedule.
The official story is that traders think a Democrat Congress will force Trump to end the Iran war. Maybe. Hold that thought.
Because then Van Jones went on CNN and bragged about how they did it. His exact words: 'The Republicans never figured out what we were doing.'
Jones said Democrats ran something called the American Accountability Network. Tens of thousands of real people. Not bots. Coordinated to post the same message, everywhere, every day.
And the message never changed. Everything is unaffordable. Gas costs too much. And it is all the Republicans' fault. Jones said they tied kitchen table pain to Democrats on a positive and Republicans on a negative.
The scale he claimed: 32.5 million hits a day on Instagram. 88.8 million on X. 185 million on Facebook. That is not a campaign. That is a flood. And it was aimed at your gas tank.
This was not some random group either. The network's own partner list includes the DNC, the DCCC, the DSCC, MoveOn, the AFL-CIO and the SEIU. The whole machine, working one message.
So here is the question people are asking now. If the crisis was real, why did oil fall off a cliff the morning after the votes were counted? Inventories actually went down that week. Less oil sitting around usually means higher prices. Prices crashed anyway.
They did not win on policy. They won on volume. They manufactured a crisis, pointed it at your gas tank, and flooded every feed in America until it worked. And Jones said the network is not going away.
What were you paying for gas on Election Day?
The Daily Beast called Stephen Miller "Deputy President Joseph Goebbels" the week he became Chief of Staff.
@BarbaraMBoyd spent years studying how Hitler came to power. She says the people running Goebbels' playbook are the ones making the accusation, and that Trump is building an Ark to carry us out of a Dark Age 👇
It’s time for Americans to unite
Black attorney in Detroit drove into a neighborhood, was immediately surrounded by 30 Arabs and robbed, they took her purse and robbed her. They yelled racial slurs. More came, 80 Arabs had her surrounded
An Arab hit her car with his car and then the crowd of Arabs removed the license plate and pushed the vehicle away so the coming police wouldn’t find the evidence
They then surrounded the black attorney and were racist and threatening towards her
For those who don’t know there is an extremely extensive racist history of Muslims to Blacks. Muslims throughout history and even today an Islamic countries don’t like blacks, they take them as slaves and in their society they are seen as “diseased” and extremely undesirable
This is real, and is happening today in Arab countries. Not all Arab think like this but an overwhelming amount do, especially in Islamic countries
Michigan imported Muslims and this is the result
Todd Blanche: "We have a real problem in this country if a young person in college is getting threatened by a United States senator that if they go to work for President Trump, they're going to be subjected to investigations and lawyers."
As it turns out, the case for war with Iran had, in fact, been made, and it was clear and necessary. You were lied to about it, repeatedly, by smart people who knew they were lying, on Iran's behalf, against Trump, dear American conservatives.
The Midterm is Not the Endterm
It is too soon to calibrate the direction of the post midterm Democratic and Republican Parties.
But if the first 72 hours are any indication—and despite the soon to be Speaker’s denials—the Left is already bragging about subpoenas, and it is intoxicated by the notion of investigations and impeachments.
Heady Democrats have entirely forgotten the politically suicidal fashion of the 2021-4 five civil and criminal courtroom circuses, the Mar-a-Lago raid, and the blue state deballoting efforts.
All that and more fueled the Trump recovery.
Wild talk of multi-trillion-dollar new agendas grows, like socializing the health care system, a renewed Green New Deal, student loan forgiveness, and illegal alien amnesties, along with new punitive income and estate regulations and taxes.
This socialist dream is reminiscent of the 2021 giddy splurging that gave the country a 9.1% inflation rate by midterm year 2022.
Along with the Afghanistan disaster (the Left’s correction for a Middle East ‘forever war”) the inflation would ensure Biden a 40% popularity.
The idea that the Left, which cannot do much real lawmaking without a veto-proof Congress, will try to reach deals with the White House, adopt a 1995 Clinton-like realist agenda, simply claim credit for the growing Trump economy, or moderate its rhetoric is highly unlikely.
Instead, we hear crazy talk of confiscations, new billionaire and millionaire punitive taxes, imprisonments, changing the Constitution—all in full suicidal 1972 McGovern style.
Republicans are blame-gaming each other, which can be constructive if over issues and reforms rather than social media ad hominem. But they need to message far better, about both the administration’s successes and the dangers of a socialist future.
There will be likely be no planned presidential succession, or gentlemanly agreement on a front runner. That’s likely good news. More likely as of now a triangular race between front-runners De Santis, Rubio, and Vance emerges—all of whom are far preferable to any ticket with a Newsom, Harris, AOC, Mamdani, or el-Sayed.
If the Republicans can stay reasonably united, they can ensure permanent presidential vetoes of crazy leftwing legislation, fight back on the Democratic committee inquisitions, and see the economy in the final two years become an asset in recovering their popularity.
Absent in all conversations is that there is increasing evidence that the economy is actually expanding and has the potential to boom in 2027, or at least the data indicate such potential.
The jobs report came out yesterday with a stunning 165,000 jobs created in October (accompanied by the usual journalists’ adverb “unexpectantly”), dropping unemployment to 4.1%.
Revised 3rd GDP stats now show a robust 3.4% growth—likely ensuring at least 3%+ growth for the year.
Third Quarter consumer spending soared 3.8%.
Private domestic investment surged with 19.4% growth.
Just reported last week: median family income in 2025 hit a new record ($87,460)—the highest in 60 years adjusted for inflation. And poverty dipped to its lowest rate (ever 10.2%).
In October manufacturing activity grew faster than at any time in the past five years.
Yes, prices are too high, and final 2026 inflation, given gas hikes, is scheduled to increase by one point (3.7%) from last year’s (2.7%). But it is still lower than the pan-European average (ca. 4+%)—and much lower than the Biden average over four years of 5.1%.
Gas prices are already falling. On November 6 prices fell to a $4.06 average—as global oil transit is mostly back to prewar levels and refineries scramble to handle the increased deliveries.
U.S. companies are dominating all the top 10 rankings in market capitalization/usage in key area such as software, AI, digital media, space, satellite launches, and bio/genetic engineering.
Note that today gas prices are not that much higher than 4 years ago at the 2022 midterm time ($4.06 vs. ca. $3.80), and haven’t once spiked to $5 a gallon as they did in 2022, just four months before the Biden midterms.
Yet oddly, the red wave sputtered in 2022 when the U.S. was in far worse economic shape than this week when the blue wave became a tsunami.
Messaging, media, and communication count, so note:
Four years ago GDP growth was lower than today—even though the pandemic was about over and there was a dramatic return to work and spending.
The inflation rate was almost three times higher in 2022 than now.
Median family income was $14,000 lower than now. The poverty rate was higher in 2022.
The Dow was 20,000 points lower. Foreign investment will likely end the year 30-40% higher than in 2022.
Real wage growth (nominal wages minus inflation) while not great in 2026 is likely to end the year far better than in 2022 (when real wage growth fell 2-3%).
So why would “affordability” have been decisive in the 2026 midterms when it was not in 2022?
The 21% aggregate inflation rate Trump inherited force-multiplied the average 3.15% Trump inflation rate of 2025-6— yet in a way the aggregate first-term Trump inflation rate (7.7% just a third of the Biden total) did not exaggerate all that much the 9.1% inflation rate in 2022.
Messaging, however, matters. The administration did not explain adequately that a 21% rise in prices cannot be lowered without radical deflation or recession, but only ameliorated by medium family income growth and lowering the inflation rate from the Biden 2021-5 averages, both of which occurred in 2025-6, but were forgotten.
Media coverage of the Biden 2022 weak economy were muted, while Trump’s 2-year inflation rate was exaggerated during 2026.
The Iran war became the culprit as a war of choice that made the inherited Biden 21% high prices and the inability to lower were them solely Trump’s fault. Again, there was inadequate explanation of either the economic reality or why the gamble to denuclearize Iran was defensible–with the caveat that stopping the bombing at day 38 and talking with theocrats for seven months was an unfortunate mistake.
The domestic and foreign policy activism of the lame-duck Clinton (1998-2000} and Obama (2014-2016) presidencies increased after their loss of Congress. Indeed, their popularity climbed from a once nadir of below forty to sixty percent approval or above.
There is no reason why the Trump administration cannot have a successful last two years. The economy is growing.
The crime rate is at historic lows.
The border is closed shut. The radical pro-Western political transformation of South and Central America has remade the entire Western Hemisphere.
European NATO is rearming.
Oil and gas production is at highest levels of any nation in history.
The bloated federal work force has been trimmed by over 270,000 jobs.
There is no longer a 40,000-50,000 shortfall in military recruitment. The forced reforms in higher education were long overdue.
The verdict on Iran is still out.
If it is denuclearized, the crippling sanctions continued, the Strait kept open, the provincial opposition armed—and our military gone home— the regime will face an increasingly restive population
2026 was an unequivocal defeat, but 2028 need not be.
If the administration and Congress stay disciplined and united, and can message better, while the Left goes utterly berserk, drunk on their midterm successes, socialism/Islamism, and Trump Derangement Syndrome 2.0, the tide will soon radically turn— as the economy already has.
Don Jr agrees with JD Vance— Trump voters decided to vote Democrat because of the Iran war and gas prices
🔻My Thoughts
Ok… timeout… the message being told to us right now is unmistakably “We lost fair and square.” You’re telling me this is something they’re all realizing now? lol no way.
One of two things are happening:
1. They really believe that. They lost fair and square. And They will hand over all the Red States to communist’s. “Vote in the next election.”
2. They are all Distancing themselves. Showing decorum, there is virtually no talk of fraud, or illegals voting… until it is revealed and the hammer drops
I’m of the opinion we are witnessing some version of #2.
I know one thing… you cannot convince me that a short conflict with Iran which was effectively over after 72 hours, and a spike in gas prices which is similar to what Biden had, made millions of Republicans throw away their morals and values to vote for Democrats— Defunding the police, Open Boarders, DEI, and trans’ing children.
You cannot convince me there wasn’t any fraud, when nothing significant has changed, and all the hallmark election anomalies we’ve seen over the years were present yet again.
Trump, Don Jr, Vance and others are in lockstep… there is a reason for that.

The 2028 Presidential Election isn’t Red vs Blue
It’s Western Civilization vs Sharia Law
Its living under a Muslim Caliphate or under the United States Constitution
If Democrats take the Presidency, they’ll never give it up and Muslims will take over our government
I’ll be going live on X and YouTube this Friday at 9pm et. Please share and let people know.
The old GOP has been wiped out. They didn’t fight for the American people. They didn’t pass the SAVE act. They didn’t lead their states well. They got comfortable and corrupt. They opposed Trump on tariffs, and still, to this day, support globalization.
That view is broken and busted, so now it has been washed away. Why would Trump compromise on principles, and ignore the dangers of broader war, merely to save a majority that can’t get things done and still disagrees on the fundamentals?
Trump is out to rebuild the country and create a stable peace for the world. That’s what a great President does. He’s reordering Europe and the Middle East all while he rebuilds America. He will soon be making some of the biggest deals since the end of WWII. He has set the table and is ready to dine.
The old GOP has been too hobbled by their traditions, and can’t understand the new world Trump is building. THIS IS WHAT WAR DOES. IT FORCES FASTER RATES OF ATTRITION AND CHANGE. Those who can’t change, perish.
Political war is no different. To win, an army must be more capable of effective change in technology, communications, mission orientation, and clarity of purpose. To win this political war means we need to build a superior culture of leaders ready to govern the nation and build a new era of civilization.
Now is the time to build a new GOP and Promethean Action is at the center of this discussion.
Join me and friends this Friday at 9pm et.
Here's why Western civilization must be protected, and why, if Islamo-leftism keeps spreading like a cancer, humanity will turn into one giant Third World.
Let's be precise, because precision is what this debate lacks. This isn't about Muslims. Millions of Muslims live freely in the West, build companies, raise families, and came here precisely for what the West offers. It's about an alliance: political Islamism on one side, a radical left on the other. Two movements that agree on almost nothing except one thing: the Western model has to go.
Political Islamism wants to replace secular law with religious law. The radical left wants to replace markets and property with an all-powerful redistributive state. One attacks individual freedom in the name of God, the other in the name of equality. Different scripts, same target: the free individual who thinks, builds, and owns what he creates.
Why does that matter so much? Because almost everything that pulled humanity out of misery came out of that model. The scientific method. Medicine that doubled life expectancy. Electricity, the airplane, the computer, the internet, AI. The rule of law, free speech, equality before the law, women's rights. Capitalism, which took over a billion people out of extreme poverty in a few decades. None of this happened under theocracy. None of it happened under collectivism.
And none of it is about race or geography. It's a value system. Japan, Korea, Taiwan, Singapore, Israel, the Gulf states that bet on openness: every country that adopted some version of it took off. Every country that rejected it stagnated.
Now look at the track record of the alternative. Theocracies freeze science, crush women, and drive their best minds abroad. Collectivist regimes destroy incentives, then production, then freedom itself. Combine the two and you get the worst of both: a society that can neither create wealth nor tolerate dissent.
If that alliance keeps growing inside the West, here's what happens. Universities stop producing knowledge and start producing ideology. Entrepreneurs leave or stop trying. The state grows to manage the decline, taxes everything that still moves, and eventually expropriates even those who thought they were safe. Innovation dies quietly. And the West, which was the engine of the whole world, becomes just another place managing scarcity.
That's the part people miss. This isn't a Western problem. The whole planet runs on what the West invents: the vaccines, the chips, the software, the energy tech, the open markets. If the engine stops, India doesn't get its next breakthrough, Africa doesn't get its next leap, Asia loses its biggest customer. Humanity doesn't become more equal. It becomes equally poor.
So every civilization that is even remotely sane should understand this. Not out of love for the West, but out of self-interest. Freedom of thought, rule of law, property, open markets: these are not Western privileges, they're humanity's operating system. And the project to tear them down, wherever it shows up, has to be stopped. Not with violence, not by targeting a people, but with ideas, with law, with courage, and by refusing to apologize for what works.
Because it's the only way we keep moving forward.
