Anyone who has ever extracted themselves from a relationship with a narcissistic abuser knows it isn’t clean or easy.
I cringe remembering how many times I tried to play the “cool girl” or fawn in response to what was clearly abusive, coercively controlling behavior by Graham.
I also know how dangerous it is to become the target of a narcissist — so even long after our relationship ended I continued to be upbeat any time he reached out, though I would also immediately shut down any attempts on his part to initiate flirting or romanticizing of the past.
Yes, the day I saw him announce he was running I wanted to make sure people knew he had a Nazi tattoo — and I was terrified he would find out it was me.
But of course he knew it was me.
What’s ironic is I absolutely never would have shared my story if he hadn’t been relentlessly attacking my character behind the scenes for months once the tattoo story came out.
I tried to signal that I wasn’t the source and stayed completely silent about him on social media even as most of my friends posted regularly about what a bad person he is.
But then in early April the New York Times came to me. I asked how they got my number. I said I was not interested in sharing my story. They said but wait—there are other women. Women terrified to tell their stories, too, and you need to band together. WE will help you. We will protect you. Men can’t keep getting away with this.
Hours before their first call to me I saw Eric Swalwell’s name plate get removed from his office door in Cannon. It felt like fate.
I welcomed the two journalists into my home days later, nervous and overwhelmed. Justin Fairfax had just murdered his wife and himself the previous day and even conservative pundits were conjecturing that “if only those women hadn’t accused him of abuse, this never would have happened…”
But I told them my story. I let them take pictures of my diary pages. I sent them screenshots of messages and gave them phone numbers and contacts. It was excruciating. I was surprised by what details I remembered, and as I poured through old messages I was horrified by how much I had forgotten.
I explained very clearly that, like many women abused by their partners, I had not told anyone about his violence at the time—I had covered for and defended it. I accepted his earnest apologies. They said that’s fine because the diary entries and my on the record story was enough.
They connected me to two of the other victims so we wouldn’t feel so alone. I insisted to each of them that I trusted the NYT journalists and that we were doing the right thing despite their (sadly very accurate) sense that something was wrong.
One of the victims and I realized our relationships with Graham overlapped completely - he had been cheating on both of us the entire time we were together.
I should note here that my life is just… beautiful. These are the best years of my life. Raising two young girls in a safe, beautiful neighborhood where I work from home and shuffle my children from dance classes and soccer to church events — I am blessed far beyond what I deserve with wonderful friends and family and the most loving, brilliant husband in the world. Why would I blow my life up like this? Why would I risk the psychotic doxxing from violent leftist activists?
Because while I have been terrified to come forward I decided this was the “hard right thing” to do. The guilt of staying silent has nagged me.
Most therapists recommend a “gray rock” approach to extracting yourself from narcissistic abuse — it works really well, but it is a gift to the abuser, allowing them to persist in their delusion that they’ve done nothing wrong.
I couldn’t stay silent as he continued to lie and lie and lie. I want my daughters to boldly speak out if they’re ever abused as I was.
This woman had the brilliant idea to haul her dirty living room area rug straight to the self-serve car wash for just $5 — soap, high-pressure spray, and all!
She goes after a stubborn blackberry stain and shows the nasty water that pours out when she’s done.
This is such a smart hack, especially if you don’t own a carpet shampooer at home. It looks like a second round of scrubbing might have helped even more, but I’m sure it already looks so much better than it did before!
Sometimes the simplest, most unexpected solutions are the ones that actually get the job done.
Have you ever tried a wild DIY cleaning hack like this, or do you have your own go-to trick for tackling carpet stains?
Catholic Supreme Court Justice Clarence Thomas is now officially the second-longest-serving justice in U.S. history.
Justice Gorsuch: "I adore that man. He is a great student and scholar of the Constitution... He is a man of great and deep faith, and he has lived the American dream."
BOEBERT: "Implant aborted baby parts into lab animals? Have you heard of that sort of research?"
GOODMAN: "We did an analysis showing that over 90% of experiments using human fetal tissue & putting them in animals were funded by Fauci's NIAID."
Bet you won't see THIS one in the mainstream media. REPOST and get it out there!

"Why should I, as a female, be forced to get undressed in front of a male?
It is always us women that have to suck it up. And a lot of us, by the way, are fed up with it, quite frankly."
Thank you, @MichelleDewbs
Ladies,
Please don't refer to yourselves or other women as "c1s".
We are women - female humans. And we don't need an identifier to say it. When you c1s yourself you're saying that your identify revolves around men's feelings about themselves.
We don't need them to be us.
I’ve posted this before, but there are a lot more of y’all now, and I think it’s worth repeating.
Imagine a scenario in which large numbers of white people start saying that they “feel black,” and that because of this feeling, and their enjoyment of stereotypically “black behavior,” they are now not just black themselves, but the most marginalized and vulnerable type of black person.
Imagine them insisting that they should be the main focus of all activism meant to help PoC. Imagine them having operations to darken their skin and mimic stereotypically black features. Imagine them walking around in blackface, and saying it’s the exact same thing as actually being black.
Imagine them being honored as black citizens by the White House, being summoned to talk to the President about issues facing the black community, being supported by celebrities, and having laws passed to make white people who identify as black a protected class.
Imagine these people demanding membership in black organizations, insisting that they receive a share of the reparations that CA is about to pay, and demanding they be given awards created specifically to honor black achievement. Then imagine them getting their way.
Now imagine mobs of them showing up to black events that don’t include them, carrying threatening signs and air horns to drown out any speakers with noise. Imagine them coming up with slurs for any black person who doesn’t accept that white people are black if they say they are.
Imagine them calling for the rape, torture, and mass murder of any black person who disagrees with them. Imagine them getting black people doxxed, harassed, assaulted, fired from their jobs, and investigated by the police for saying that you have to be born black to be black.
Now imagine the government supporting their demands.
That’s exactly the position that women are in right now, with a few extras, like being locked in cells with dangerous men, the sexual predation of lesbians via coercion, and the increased risk of sexual assault in what used to be female-only spaces. Our oppressors are now claiming not only the right to oppress us in whole new ways, but the right to erase our identities as women and rewrite the meaning of womanhood in ways that suit - and include - them.
If you wouldn’t support this kind of behavior towards black people, you have no business supporting this kind of behavior towards women.
🚨 BREAKING: The Chief of Chicago Police is being praised nationwide for the moment he STOOD WITH ICE instead of the Left
"Let me make this CLEAR! Federal agents, ICE, HSI, are officers. They are agents of law enforcement."
"If you box them in...plow a VEHICLE, you're using DEADLY FORCE. And THEY can use deadly force in response to stop YOU!"
"We need to be clear about these laws. We cannot become a society where we just decide to take everything in our own hands and start to commit crimes against law enforcement!"
"It is a crime. You may not like what they're doing. I can understand that there's a lot of emotions out there, but that does NOT mean that you get to commit a crime, especially one that could lead to deadly force."
"We need to keep everyone safe. Our responsibilities when it comes to federal agents, and I've been asked these questions, we do not interfere with the duties and responsibilities of federal agents."
This is literally just common sense.
Every single police chief should be saying this. This is DEEP BLUE CHICAGO!
President Trump isn't a conservative and he sure as hell isn't a liberal.
He's a hardcore pragmatist and a cold eyed realist who cuts through all the ideological horseshit.
He doesn't give a fuck about sacred party doctrines or feel good theories.
He only cares about what actually works. If there's a problem, he fixes it, no matter whose toes get crushed.
The man understands that results beat rhetoric EVERY SINGLE TIME and in a swamp full of fucking spineless talkers, that's the rarest kind of truth.
Make no mistake, I hate this conflict with Iran..
I don't like gas prices going back up...but frankly, some things are bigger and more important for the future of the world.
Trump is sacrificing his support to dismantle the biggest threat to the world's future. Something he knows no other President will have the guts to do..
Just look around at Texas, New York, Michigan, Minnesota..the Mosques are catching up to the churches..a fanatical religeon that allows pedophilia, child mutilation, the abuse and humiliation of women and complete intolerance for beliefs other than their own.
Some things are just more important than your feelings.
Listen to Mr Hanson..
He nails it
Congressman Burchett: “human trafficking”
Is sanitized. THEY ARE SELLING THESE KIDS TO BE RAPED! They are demonic and must be stopped! They deserve to be hanged. Bring them on down to the farm! “
We must start taking this seriously!
.@GenFlynn Maybe the reason we don’t take it as seriously as we should is because many serve in government in some capacity (all bodies, all branches, all agencies, activities, and departments).
Our nation, the United States of America, is NUMBER 1 (#1) in the entire world for child sex and slave trafficking.
We have exceeded a moral decline and societally we are in the pits of hell.
Help yourselves by climbing out and standing up for children. Otherwise, God help us and God help you.
Islamists in Nigeria kidnapped more than 400 women and children several days ago, and now they have begun executing the hostages.
Mainstream media? Silent.
Greta Thunberg? Silent.
Candace Owens? Silent.
United Nations? Silent.
If Israel isn’t involved, no one says a word.
Ambassador Stevens was sent to Benghazi to secretly retrieve US made Stinger Missiles that the State Dept had supplied to Ansar al Sharia in Libya WITHOUT Congressional oversight or permission.
Sec State Hillary Clinton had brokered the Libya deal through Ambassador Stevens and a Private Arms Dealer named Marc Turi, but some of the shoulder fired Stinger Missiles ended up in Afghanistan where they were used against our own military.
On July 25th, 2012, a US Chinook helicopter was downed by one of them. Not destroyed only because the idiot Taliban didn't arm the missile. The helicopter didn't explode, but it had to land and an ordnance team recovered the missile’s serial number which led back to a cache of Stinger Missiles kept in
Qatar by the CIA.
Obama and Hillary were in full panic mode, so Ambassador Stevens was sent to Benghazi to retrieve the rest of the Stinger Missiles. This was a "do-or-die" mission, which explains the Stand Down Orders given to multiple rescue teams during the siege of the US Embassy.
It was the State Dept, NOT the CIA, that supplied the Stinger Missiles to our sworn enemies because Gen. Petraeus at CIA would not approve supplying the deadly missiles due to their potential use against commercial aircraft.
So then, Obama threw Gen. Petraeus under the bus when he refused to testify in support of Obama’s phony claim of a “spontaneous uprising caused by a YouTube video that insulted Muslims.”
Obama and Hillary committed TREASON!
THIS is what the investigation is all about, WHY she had a Private Server, (in order to delete the digital evidence), and WHY Obama, two weeks after the attack, told the UN that the attack was the result of the YouTube video, even though everyone KNEW it was not.
Furthermore, the Taliban knew that the administration had aided and abetted the enemy WITHOUT Congressional oversight or permission, so they began pressuring (blackmailing) the Obama Administration to release five Taliban generals being held at Guantanamo.
Bowe Bergdahl was just a useful pawn used to cover the release of the Taliban generals. Everyone knew Bergdahl was a traitor but Obama used Bergdahl’s exchange for the five Taliban generals to cover that Obama was being coerced by the Taliban about the unauthorized Stinger Missile deal.
So we have a traitor as POTUS that is not only corrupt, but compromised, as well and a Sec of State that is a serial liar, who perjured herself multiple times at the Congressional Hearings on Benghazi.
Perhaps this is why no military aircraft were called upon for help in Benghazi: because the administration knew that our enemies had Stinger Missiles that, if used to down those planes, would likely be traced back to the CIA cache in Qatar and then to the State Dept’s illegitimate arms deal in Libya.
When Zohran Mamdani says Muhammad was “an immigrant,” he’s not technically lying. He’s just cutting the story off right before it gets inconvenient.
Yeah - Muhammad migrated to Medina in 622. That part’s real.
What they don’t tell you is what happened next.
He didn’t walk into an empty city. Medina was a multi-tribal society with significant Jewish populations - established, structured, and already running things economically and politically. There was an agreement - the Constitution of Medina - where different groups, including Jews and Muslims, were supposed to coexist under mutual obligations.
Sounds like the “diversity works” narrative, right?
Give it five years.
One Jewish tribe? Expelled.
Second tribe? Expelled.
Third tribe? Surrounded, surrendered… then the men executed and the women and children enslaved.
That’s not fringe history. That’s coming straight out of early Islamic sources - the same ones scholars, Islamic and non-Islamic, have studied for centuries.
And that’s the part people like Mamdani conveniently skip.
Because if you include that, the framing changes.
It’s no longer just “immigrant seeking refuge.”
It becomes: enter → consolidate → eliminate opposition.
We have to call out selective storytelling.
Because when politicians cherry-pick history to push a modern agenda, they’re not educating you - they’re managing you.
They give you the soft-focus version: “Refugee. Inclusion. Coexistence.”
They leave out: Power. Conflict. Consequences.
And if you don’t know the full timeline, you’re arguing blind.
So don’t just accept the headline they hand you.
Read the whole story.
And don't forget the part that involved the Jews so you can understand what's going on between Israel and the Muslim world.
