In the wake of Platner’s withdrawal, it’s very important for national media to platform every Democratic Party elite in DC for their views about what should happen in Maine — and to literally not talk to one single human being who actually lives in Maine. This is praxis.

🚨CNN's Jake Tapper repeatedly warns this interview includes "graphic details of domestic violence...graphic details of violence that are disturbing."

I watched the whole interview (below). Not only are there no graphic details, there are damn near no details at all.

Throughout the 12-minute therapy session, there are dozens of detail-free accusations of "violence" and "abuse".

The one time she accuses him of a specific behavior, she alleges he non-consensually removed condoms, which he denies.

"It was the worst and most violating part."

So violating in fact that Lyndsey Fifield continued to see him, throughout a 2 year relationship that ended over 11 years ago.

So violating, in fact, that she did not go on the record until 11 years, ***and then 2 days AFTER*** her other allegations of him grabbing her arm (and never hitting her) in NYT didn't do what she wanted.

But then, after she and a 2nd accuser, came out with new accusations that they both left out of their first accusations days prior in NYT..., then leading Dems "finally" removed endorsements from Platner.

"I'm glad, I'm grateful...Finally this was enough," Fifield told Tapper.

Can you, the people, “vote your way out of this?”

Honestly, not if you get your news from these folks.

The swamp has tricks for deceiving the public, and most even work on congressmen. Here’s an example of how Laura and Greg played along as happy tools of the swamp.

Please ask yourself why your own congressman has never talked about this. He either hasn’t gotten this far in the game (80% chance), or he likes the way the swamp obscures what’s going on (10% chance), or he dislikes the system but the price he’d pay for telling you is too high (10% chance). If a congressman sees this post and wants to debate me, I accept!

The House has rules we adopt at the beginning of each Congress. Honestly we should just use those - some go all the way back to Thomas Jefferson. Some are like Robert’s Rules of Order which branched from House rules a century ago. But we have a rules committee that modifies the rules every week. I served on the rules committee for two years. When I was on the committee, I refused to vote for rules changes if the purpose was to mislead or obscure. Every week, the rules committee bends the rules to suit the Speaker, but you can’t place the blame just on the committee or the Speaker. Every rules change must be approved by the whole House with a majority vote.

Rank and file congressmen are told to vote for these rules modifications each week for the sake of party loyalty because the rules are temporarily modified by the majority to keep the minority from using the permanent rules against us. This is partly true, so most congressmen never question beyond this.

Typically, every week the rules committee meets before other committees and writes a rules package to protect bills that will come to the floor that week. Then the whole house votes on this rules package early in the week before significant legislation comes to the floor. The vote is typically on party lines. Sometimes a block of congressmen in the majority will take the rules package hostage and withhold their vote to get something else that has nothing to do with the rules. I’m not a big fan of this, but after 13 years, my hands aren’t completely clean of this tactic.

The high-road position that I try to maintain is that if the rules package is bad, you shouldn’t vote for the rules package, and in general you shouldn’t withhold your vote from a rules package if there’s nothing wrong with the rules package… even if you disagree with the policy that is enabled to come to the floor by the rules package.

There are more details, but that’s all you need to know to understand what I’m going to explain next.

This week the Speaker wanted to do two things outside of our base rules, so he put those inside of the rules package that also had the rules for bringing bills like the popular SAVE Act to the floor, knowing members would be afraid to vote against something associated with SAVE. THIS IS INTENTIONAL.

The Speaker wanted to circumvent the National Emergencies Act of 1976 to avoid voting on tariffs and he wanted to turn off the ban on bringing a spending bill to the floor the same day it’s introduced.

The first rules package that came to the floor this week failed because myself and other republicans objected to it. The rules committee met again, wrote a new rules package without the tariff-trick, and we voted on the second rules package. I voted no but internet goons, like clockwork, characterized this as a vote against the SAVE Act.

The swamp used that second rules package to give them authority to pass a bill before anyone could read it. They hid that authority inside the rule for the SAVE act because they knew people like Laura and Greg would help them disparage anyone who didn’t go along.

If you fell for Laura and Greg’s slop you were cheering for the Pelosi doctrine that we should pass bills to see what’s in them. If the rules package had failed, the rules committee would have written a better one and SAVE Act would have still come to the floor.

More graphic evidence that our White House is incapable of telling the truth. There is zero chance Iran is “begging for a deal,“ and we know this because President Trump has made that canard 40 times since February 28, and it’s been true exactly 0 times.

Why does anyone still give President Trump even the benefit of the doubt? He only knows how to lie, and there is no truth in him.

Not only is this an unethical habit that he is locked himself into, but there will at some point be severe negative implications for our country because no one‘s willing to call him out, and will allow the lies to continue without challenge.

There will be an end to this, however, because at some point, the lack of integrity, and the absence of a strategy are going to have catastrophic manifestations for America. You can count on it.

⚠️ Col. Macgregor: Iran Negotiations Are a Pause, Not Peace
In this new Deep Dive clip, Col. Douglas Macgregor (@DougAMacgregor) lays out why the Iran war is not over — only paused — and why Trump’s latest threats to “finish the job” won’t force Tehran to concede.

Macgregor explains that the 60‑day negotiation window was doomed from the start. “If we look at those 14 points… is there really any chance whatsoever that we would ever willingly sign up for all 14?” Agreeing to them, he says, would be a “tacit admission that we were defeated militarily.”

He also breaks down how Israel’s objectives shifted after their initial plan collapsed. “The principal Israeli puppet was supposed to be the crown prince… that failed.” What remains, Macgregor warns, is the push for the “utter and complete destruction of Iran.”

Trump’s talk of bombing infrastructure doesn’t change that reality. As Macgregor puts it, “We’re talking about killing civilians, destroying lots of infrastructure… leaving Iran in complete ruins.” These are not decisive military targets — they’re signals of a preferred outcome that has nothing to do with diplomacy.

His bottom line is stark: “This is not over. We are at pause.” The Iran war, the Middle East conflict, and U.S. strategy are all entering a far more dangerous phase.

If you want to understand what’s happening — not the headlines — watch the full clip.
