@FreightAlley What's a NIMBY tracker?

[OP_SEC_BOOMER @OP_SEC_BOOMER]

@FreightAlley Great news! Let's make Chattanooga a pro-marriage city.

@mtracey Hell yeah baby let's GOOOOO

If anyone happens to know the identity of the person who accused Russell Brand of raping her at the Labour Party conference in 1999, when he was 24 years old — which the jury rejected — please get in touch, and I would be happy to publish that information. First Amendment, baby!

@JRBaileyTN @casualtnprog I guess you like bum fights downtown if you want Chatt to be like Asheville. We're on the way really.

[OP_SEC_BOOMER @OP_SEC_BOOMER]

I would like to round down for charity please.

@newschannelnine Guy is a New York Jew lawyer who scammed his way into personal injury practice in Chattanooga.

@VariedStates @newschannelnine He's not white.

@FreightAlley Begins and ends with Corker. Still owns all the land downtown.

One of the things the data analysts on our side obsessed over was "composition"—whether the electorate looked close enough to 2024 for Republicans to win. And despite polls that showed a Democrat blowout, the data kept on telling us the same story: in some states turnout was merely OK, in other states it was downright amazing, and in no state was it catastrophic. There was a genuine sense of optimism on our team: our people were showing up.

So, I asked the smartest data guy I know, does that mean we're going to shock the world? "No," he told me. "We might do better than the polls suggest. But the data is telling us that a lot of Trump/Vance 2024 voters are pissed and planning to vote for the other guys. Our voters are turning out, but they may not vote for us."

Well, that looks prophetic now. Our voters did show up. In Florida, for example, the electorate was 9 points more Republican than Democrat, just a couple points worse than 2024. Undoubtedly there were places we could have done better on turnout. But the main problem is not turnout. The main problem is that many people who voted for Trump/Vance in 2024 voted for Democrats in 2026.

There will be a lot of infighting and arguing over what happened and why that is. One of the pollsters I really respect told me that our economic messaging wasn’t sharp enough down the stretch. I’m sure that’s true.

But the real reason we lost is obvious to almost everyone.

Another pollster—one of the smartest people I know in politics, told me yesterday we’d lose the generic ballot by 13 points. I felt negative going into Tuesday, but even I was shocked by this. In his polling, he saw that a lot of Trump 2024 voters were angry and planning to vote for Democrats. He asked those voters who had abandoned us what would cause them to come back on our team. The top four answers, accounting for nearly all of the responses were:

1) End the war
2) Focus on cost of living/inflation
3) Put America First
4) Change our relationship to Israel

Our voters showed up. And the above four reasons are why many of them voted for Democrats. This is according to a pollster who nailed the results. While many spent Monday attacking Rachel Campos Duffy for calling for a diplomatic resolution to the conflict, it turns out her political advice was sound. (She’s also a great person.)

In the next few months, there's going to be a lot of gaslighting. Expect to hear any number of establishment politicians say the solution to our woes is amnesty. I'm open to the idea that we should change enforcement—by focusing more on businesses that hire illegal labor, for instance. But anyone pushing amnesty is lying to you.

The reason we lost is the war. The president himself said so last night.

If you'd like to argue it was worth it, that losing the Senate for the next 6 years was worth it, then do so. Argue it was a worthwhile cost to pay. Agree or disagree, that's at least honest.

But everyone knows why we lost. And any honest conversation about where we go from here must start there.

I remain hopeful about our country. To the people who are pissed off and want to say, “I told you so”: you’re right, you did tell us so. Take that energy into electing Republicans who share your worldview. To the people who are just pissed at the results, you should be. Let’s take that anger and get back to the work of saving our country.

@ScottMGreer We're as red and downwardly mobile as can be. Trick or treating was massive. All ages. Elaborate costumes.

[OP_SEC_BOOMER @OP_SEC_BOOMER]

@FreightAlley Already found some juicy gossip.

[OP_SEC_BOOMER @OP_SEC_BOOMER]

@BuckThrockmort @FreightAlley Massive graft in the Chattanooga nonprofit industrial complex. Even worse when the churches are connected. What a clown. 🤡

He’s still here. He’s got a fan club.
Including us.

Nick Fuentes: "We could have done it all.

We could have used the Epstein files to control the oligarchs. We could have released everything, put them in jail, or made them play ball.

We could have kept ourselves out of Iran, toppled Netanyahu, brought all that to an end, and ended the war in Ukraine.

We could have put on the tariffs. We could have built a wall and done the mass deportations. We really could have set ourselves up here.

Trump could have been the greatest president of all time.

Instead, we have blown it in the service of Israel."

This is my family. I refused warrantless entry because the Fourth Amendment still applies when CPS shows up with armed deputies. I offered a welfare check without police; they refused.

The next day they returned with emergency removal orders and took both of our daughters, including our one-month-old breastfeeding infant, and placed them in a foster home with a single father of 3 boys 😠. There was no criminal charge against us and no emergency. After an emergency hearing the court dismissed the removal order. Every major finding was later reversed as unfounded, and DFS abandoned its appeal. The damage—especially to a nursing mother and newborn—was already done.

I have since filed a federal civil-rights lawsuit (Yazdani v. Mieszala et al., EDVA 1:26-cv-03365) over separate LCSO misconduct. Accountability for the CPS side is next.

We are not the only Loudoun family to raise these issues. Sarah Legg (@sarahgracelegg) posted a detailed personal statement describing her own experience with the same worker: she alleges Kelli Hedrick abused her position, coordinated with law enforcement to have her arraigned while eight months pregnant (threatening jail, a fine, and re-education), and showed a pattern of manipulative conduct and poor judgment toward families. She specifically called out “deep concerns about Kelli Hedrick’s judgment, conduct, and influence on families and the local agencies of Loudoun County.”
