The Founding Fathers believed people should not elect U.S. Senators. They were right.

[Freedomain - with Stefan Molyneux, MA @StefanMolyneux]

Voting is supposed to be a substitute for force.

At some point, men are going to get tired of surrendering to those they could easily overwhelm.

[Naval @naval]

The left is on a project to enforce equality, despite biology and markets.

The goal of equality gives claim to the moral high ground, but contradicting biology and markets requires censorship and violence, which makes the whole project immoral.

[Paul Saladino, MD @paulsaladinomd]

I feel like it’s finally safe to say this out loud: The COVID era was a time of staggering overreach and repeated, official betrayal. They took our freedom, our livelihoods, and our trust, and no one has answered for it.

We were forced into isolation, fueling a massive psychological crisis. Beaches, parks, and trails where transmission was virtually impossible were closed, ignoring the crucial role of sunlight and Vitamin D for immune function.

The government and employers forced vaccine mandates, making millions choose between a medical treatment lacking long-term safety data and their ability to feed their families. Meanwhile, pharmaceutical companies were granted total immunity from liability.

If you had a severe vaccine reaction, you were on your own. When people tried to share these stories of big tech silenced them and deleted their accounts.

The architects of these policies, like Dr. Fauci, shifted goalposts constantly. He received a preemptive presidential pardon from Joe Biden, and when recently questioned by Congress, pleaded the Fifth Amendment 111 times.

The biggest failure? We knew early on that metabolic dysfunction was a massive risk factor for severe COVID. Yet public health officials stayed completely silent on the importance of quality food, exercise, and true metabolic resilience.

Instagram deleted my account in 2021 for pointing all of these things out. YouTube deleted multiple videos on these topics.

We all lost something during those years. Whether it was someone you loved, your job, your sovereignty, or your health... I am truly sorry for your loss.

If all of this makes you angry, you’re my kind of people.

Let's make sure this never happens again.

[Senator Rand Paul @SenRandPaul]

Today on X, my entire feed is DC lawmakers from both parties posting their fake outrage over the national debt.

How many times did they vote to increase the debt ceiling, expand government, and/or vote against cuts?

[Rand Paul @RandPaul]

Flock has 120,000 cameras tracking cars across America, no warrant required. Over 5,000 police agencies have signed on. This isn't crime fighting. This is mass surveillance of every American, and a violation of our 4th Amendment rights.

[Senator Rand Paul @SenRandPaul]

42% of all income taxes go to paying the interest on the national debt. If my Penny Plan were signed into law, instead of the monstrous spending bills that expand government, we could balance the budget in less than 10 years.

The results of the Big Beautiful Bill are in:

[Buckley Carlson @buckleycarlson]

They’ve stolen far more than most realize: “To have the relative purchasing power of someone on minimum wage in July 1971, you need to make $381k/yr today."

[Naval @naval]

Literally nobody has been held accountable for Covid.

[Thomas Massie @RepThomasMassie]

In less than 2 years, MAGA went from “No New Wars” to idolizing a Senator who never saw a war he didn’t like.

[Joe Kent @joekent16jan19]

Traitors are people who lie and get our troops killed in needless wars that don’t serve our country.

The Israeli lobby knows this war has been a disaster for public support, and they are panicking. It’s advocates are working overtime to try and justify the mess they got our country into.

The case Loomer is referring to is interesting, and it’s notable that it’s what she points her audience to…the FBI knew of Merchant and still let him enter the country, then had FBI-controlled sources get him to describe a harebrained plot, of which he had no potential of pulling off, then arrested him. Hardly a terrorist sleeper cell plot. Funny that this “plot” is cited over and over again, yet no questions are tolerated about Thomas Crooks—who actually shot President Trump.

Regardless, now that we’ve started this war & killed the supreme leader & bombed a girls’ school in Iran, radicalizing the Iranians, we’ve essentially encouraged a self-fulfilling prophecy and will likely experience blowback terrorism here at home.

Manipulating & inflating intelligence is how we got into the disastrous Iraq war—we should know better. Unfortunately, thanks to the Israeli lobby & its paid influencers, we’ve ended up in this situation yet again, this time with a much more consequential country and a war that is shaping up to be an even bigger mess.

[Bret Weinstein @BretWeinstein]

A man in effect sentenced to death for exercising his right to informed consent. That's not an exaggeration given he apparently had willing donors. Oh, and he turned out to be right about the Covid shots, not that it matters

Can you imagine losing your husband or father this way?

[Thomas Massie @RepThomasMassie]

I’ll soon be introducing a bill to withhold all federal funding for cameras used to track American citizens.

[Matt Walsh @MattWalshBlog]

Grocery prices are insane. They’re still rising. Addressing this problem should be the number one priority of every elected leader. End the stupid foreign wars and focus on this issue. It’s one of the main reasons socialists are gaining power.

[Thomas Massie @RepThomasMassie]

10% of all the debt accumulated in the 250 year history of this country will be incurred in the first half of Trump’s second term, with Mike Johnson and John Thune leading Congress.

I’m unashamed to have been kicked off “team debt” for not going along with this.

[Owen Shroyer @OwenShroyer1776]

It's clear what must be done to save the Country.

The left must give up the open borders and wellfare for non-citiznes.

The right must give up the foreign lobby and the Middle East intervention.

We may actually be able to Save America if we can do this.

[Joe Kent @joekent16jan19]

Being angry at Fauci or being angry at Israel isn’t productive anymore. The anger is justified, but without real accountability it’s just wasted energy—unless it’s directed effectively into a pursuit for positive change.

Trump won in 2024 because most Americans understood that wars in the Middle East are bad for the U.S. & that COVID was a crime against humanity. He built a historic coalition that promised, with conviction, that voting for Trump meant we’d get accountability, no more foolish wars, & an administration that would actually put America first.

Instead, we have a new war in the Middle East and Trump announcing he’ll honor Fauci’s pardon.

This is all infuriating, but don’t let it demoralize you—because it’s also clarifying.

We can declassify documents, stage hearings, and post talking points on the internet all day. But none of it matters when we have a justice system that refuses to deliver genuine, bipartisan accountability, impartial to political influence from any direction.

Right now, Trump has the ultimate power to pursue that accountability, and he’s choosing not to. That tells you everything you need to know.

We know who will hide behind performative outrage about Fauci, Iran, or the Deep State while taking no real action in efforts to shield their political careers—and we know who will actually stand up, fight, & tell the truth, no matter how uncomfortable the consequences may be.

The problem isn’t the War Machine, foreign interests trying to push us into war, or the Deep State & their pathetic apparatchiks like Fauci seeking to control us.

The problem is putting our faith in leaders, again and again, who lack the courage to fight them.

[Thomas Massie @RepThomasMassie]

@jareddavisoba Where in your Bible does it say we will be blessed if we send them weapons to kill 70,000 innocent civilians?

[Thomas Massie @RepThomasMassie]

The Israeli lobby spent $30 million to beat me, but America won because an entire generation is now aware of their corrosive influence on our government. Every elected Republican in Congress is bought, captured, or intimidated by them to some degree. I am the last who is not.
