@Rainmaker1973 So if the meat is sizzling hot - the pan should be as well. How is he touching the pan to adhere the packing tape?!

So apparently Jill and I are on a plane to China with Trump, Elon Musk, half the Cabinet, and a collection of CEOs whose combined net worth could probably refinance the moon.

Totally normal day for Gen X.

And I just can’t stop laughing at how the media spent YEARS telling us:

- China hated Elon
- Trump was “finished”
- America was collapsing
- capitalism was dead
- and everybody important was abandoning the U.S.

Meanwhile, here we are somewhere over the Pacific looking like the cast of Succession meets Top Gun: Retirement Plan Edition.

Remember when China sanctioned Marco Rubio back in 2020 and everybody acted like the geopolitical chessboard had permanently shifted?

Now suddenly everybody’s still showing up to the table because — shocking development — nations tend to like:

- money
- technology
- manufacturing
- trade
- AI
- energy
- semiconductors
- and not being economically irrelevant

Who knew.

The best part is the internet meltdown cycle never changes.

Trump:
“America needs stronger trade relationships.”

Media:
“HITLER.”

Elon:
“I make electric cars, rockets, satellites, AI, and robots.”

Internet activists:
“Yeah but we posted an angry hashtag.”

Cool.
I’m sure Beijing is trembling before your TikTok resistance movement.

And flying with this group is exactly what you think it would be.

Trump walks around the cabin narrating reality like it’s an episode of Lifestyles of the Rich and Geopolitical:
“Great flight. Powerful people. Very high IQ. The Chinese are saying they’ve never seen anything like it.”

Elon looks like he hasn’t slept since 2019 and is simultaneously calculating orbital trajectories and wondering if the beverage cart could be automated.

Meanwhile Jill and I are sitting there like two exhausted Gen Xers who survived dial-up internet, chain-smoking restaurants, lawn darts, and drinking from garden hoses… wondering how in the hell we became side characters in the weirdest timeline imaginable.

Honestly, at this point if Trump walked into Beijing blasting “Danger Zone” while Elon live-streamed it from orbit, I wouldn’t even blink.

Because the people who told us America was over are still tweeting from iPhones, driving Teslas, using Starlink during hurricanes, and cashing checks tied to the same capitalist machine they claim to hate.

Gen X translation:
The world’s still running.
The adults are still making deals.

And the internet is still confusing hashtags for accomplishments.

Carry on.

Hello Senator Thune,

Let's expose what you're really doing with "reconciliation."

You announced it yesterday, eleven months after the House passed the SAVE America Act. You're not trying to pass this bill. You're trying to kill it in a way you can blame on process.

Here's how we know:

Reconciliation requires the Senate parliamentarian to rule that provisions are "budgetary." Citizenship verification is not budgetary. Photo ID mandates are not budgetary. The parliamentarian will gut the bill. Then you'll shrug and say "we tried." We see through you.

Meanwhile, you WON'T use the tools that actually work:

Rule XIX limits each senator to two speeches per legislative day. Keep the Senate in continuous session, file cloture daily, and the filibuster exhausts in ~12-20 days. You dismissed it as "complicated." Because if you tried and succeeded, you'd have to actually pass the bill.

Harry Reid nuked the filibuster in 2013 when he wanted results.

Mitch McConnell changed Senate rules THREE times and canceled the August recess.

Chuck Schumer used reconciliation within months on a 50-50 Senate.

You have 53 seats. You've changed nothing, canceled nothing, and waited eleven months.

Now let's talk donors:

• Goldman Sachs: $150K to you - top H-1B user
• Google: $75K - lobbies against E-Verify
• Meta: $72.5K - Zuckerberg's FWD[.]us pushes mass immigration
• Wells Fargo: $90K - banks undocumented immigrants

Same corporations sponsor Punchbowl News, where you sit for "Fly Out Days" which nobody watches except Congress staffers and K Street lobbyists who pays premium bucks for legislative intelligence. Their reporter then telegraphs to the audience the SAVE Act "will ultimately fail."

Corporate money flows to you AND to the outlet that frames your inaction as inevitable.

We see the loop.

You called grassroots anger a "paid influencer ecosystem." YOU are the paid influencer. You take the wrong side of a 80% issue because you are indistinguishable from a K Street mouthpiece, and an ineffective one to boot who won't bend the rules to get anything passed.

What we want:

1. Force a real talking filibuster.
2. Stop hiding behind process.
3. Pass the SAVE America Act.

YOU will become the reason that we will have our butts kicked in midterms. Not Candace Owens, not Nick Fuentes, not anyone else. You and you alone, and all because you want to make the 200 or so viewers of Punchbowl Fly Out Days happy. You're living in a K Street information bubble, addicted to the comforts and praises of lobbyists masquerading as journalists. You mistake the steak and martini dinners you get invited to as your own constituents.

You are not "moderate." The SAVE America Act has 98% support among Republicans. Name one other thing that has 98% support. You are an extreme minority who prides himself on being a calm leader, when in reality you are well in the running for the most ineffective Majority leader of all time.

Prove me wrong. Do the bare modicum of effort. Not symbolic. Actual effort. Cancel the recess. Get SAVE America Act passed.

In Arizona — on Election Day in 2022 — 60% of machines in Maricopa County had “errors” which ultimately led to long lines, voters being redirected to other polling locations, & Kari Lake lost her election for governor by 17,000 votes.

If Republicans didn’t wait for Election Day, we would have likely won.

By the way, Abe Hamadeh “lost” his bid for attorney general by 280 votes.

.@katiehobbs,

The ONLY thing that would make me move on from the stolen elections is real justice for the people and full accountability for those who helped steal them.

And something tells me that won’t end well for you.

Win or lose, these words will be remembered for generations.

Secretary of War Pete Hegseth dedicated the final two minutes of his address to speak directly to the American warriors on the front lines in Iran — “This is your moment.”

HEGSETH: “Let me speak straight to you, the joint force, our warriors on the front line.”

“This is your moment, this is the generational turning point America has waited for since 1979 and since the rudderless wars of hubris my generation, our generation endured.”

“Don’t listen to the noise, just stay focused, our commander-in-chief is steady at the wheel.”

“We face a determined enemy. You are better.”

“But we must prove it every single day.”

“History doesn’t care if we’re tired, if we’re scared, or if the fight feels big. It demands warriors who rise anyway.”

“Peace through strength, the warrior ethos, lethality, unity of purpose — those are not slogans, they’re the beating heart of what it means to wear the uniform. That uniform.”

“You think clearly under fire, you act decisively in chaos, you uphold the Constitution, and you uphold our country without hesitation.”

“We are not defenders anymore; we are warriors trained to kill the enemy and break their will.”

“History is watching. Be the force you swore an oath to be: focused, disciplined, lethal, and unbreakable.”

“We will finish this on America-first conditions of President Trump’s choosing, nobody else’s, as it should be.”

“And know this above all: President Trump and I have your back. Always.”

“Through fire, through criticism, through fake news, through everything, we unleash you because you are the best, most powerful, most lethal fighting force the world has ever seen.”

“May Almighty God watch over you, and may His providential arms of protection extend over you.”

“Godspeed, warriors. Keep going.”

Love this.

The Winn brothers win the internet as they cheer on their baby sister Haley who is representing Team USA in Women’s Hockey.

[ThePersistence @ScottPresler]

Probably the most important speech I’ve given of my life.

With 50+ Members of Congress in attendance, I asked them for bold, courageous leadership.

It’s time to pass the SAVE America Act.

Thank you to the @RepublicanStudy for having me.

Truly the honor of a lifetime.

Ok, Billie. Your $14,000,000 mansion in LA is built where the Tongva tribes once lived. Any plans on returning it?
