The Republican Senate is baseball team, and John Thune is their coach, and they just went 0-162 for the season.
So naturally, the first thing they did was to rehire the coach.
During the 2021 disastrous withdrawal from Afghanistan that cost 13 American service members their lives, the Biden Administration droned and killed an innocent family of ten, including seven children.
Democrats completely ignored the incident, pretending like it never happened. You will not find a single Democrat post about it.
A few Republicans feigned some outrage, but that’s all they did because that’s all they ever do. The media barely even touched it.
Imagine the Democrat/MSM/Massie reaction if it had been the Trump admin that had killed that family after botching that withdrawal. 😜
Legacy Media coverage of Secretary of War Hegseth…
ABC 100% negative
CBS: 100% negative
NBC: 100% negative
When your coverage is 100% negative you’re not fair.
Not possible.
You’re propaganda.
You’re the enemy of the people.
You’re working with America’s enemies.
Facts.
I just paid $3.59 a gallon for gasoline on the East Coast. Last week I paid .$3.79 per gallon. Over the last 6-8 weeks the price has plummeted from the mid-$4.50 a gallon range.
It takes time, in a world market, for prices to resonate throughout an economy. The rest of the economy looks strong as well. Inflation is down. Joblessness is down. Take home pay is up. Interest rates are up due to the Fed. Steve Moore has posted several times on the rest of the data.
As for Iran, there hasn’t been anything close to sustained military action for half a year or so. When people talk about the Iran war they act like it’s the Vietnam War. There’s no draft. No casualties in 6 months. The Strait has been wide open for months.
Think about it. All of it.
Dan Bongino says he doesn’t “GIVE A DAMN” if Democrats “DRAG HIM” to Capitol Hill. 🔥🔥
@DBongino: “I’ll explain to you how we CRUSHED VIOLENT CRIME and how you couldn’t do that—how you guys SUCKED when you were in charge.” 💣
The Democrats impeached President Trump a second time and actually had a trial in the Senate when he was a private citizen. Therefore, I propose the impeachment of every past president who is still alive for military operations in which they never received a declaration of war -- impeach them all and try them all -- as this is the new standard. The same for every past, living SecDef and SecState.
Nah man. I’m not gonna let this go unchecked. As a GWOT veteran I can’t.
I listened to Massie drone through his articles of impeachment against Pete Hegseth and I recognized the sickness immediately.
We fought under this ridiculous worldview during GWOT, and it cost us dearly.
Massie is merely an acolyte of the bloodless bureaucratic religion that puts the lawyer in the center of the kill chain, treats every American use of force like a moral emergency, and somehow always finds more sympathy for the enemy being hunted than for the American sent to hunt him.
His whole speech I began wondering who he actually was speaking for, and that’s not good.
GWOT vets know EXACTLY where that road leads. Another approval. Another review. Another JAG opinion. Another commander afraid to make a decision because one bad headline will destroy his career faster than losing the fight ever could.
We were lectured for years about “courageous restraint.” We were told that killing one enemy might create ten more. We were taught to fear our own lethality while the enemy studied our hesitation.
And then we spent twenty years bleeding into the fucking sand.
So spare me the sermon about how dangerous it is to remove lawyers who think their job is to become a veto point over command. Spare me the sudden reverence for process from people who watched Afghanistan collapse, watched thirteen Americans die at Abbey Gate, watched the Taliban retake Kabul, and somehow found no constitutional apocalypse worthy of impeachment then.
Now the outrage is that the machine is actually being used. That commanders are expected to command. And that enemies are being treated like…. actual enemies for once.
That civilian leadership is telling the bureaucracy to get the hell out of the way of lawful military action.
From where I sit, the betrayal isn’t that Washington finally found some aggression for a chang. The realest betrayal is that men like Massie still think the lesson of the GWOT was that we needed more hesitation.
No. WE NEEDED MORE VICTORY.
And I’m done pretending those are the same thing. We’re all done with it. Massie is dead wrong here, he knows it, you know it, and I know it.
Sincerely,
-A seriously disgruntled GWOT vet who knows Hegseth is the cure to what ails our military here.
I was one of the first people to call out the Massie/Epstein grift. I wish I could show you the DMs from accounts that came after me for questioning Massie. Many let me know that they liked my videos but were now very "disappointed" in me. 😂
Unlike them, I had watched all the hearings during the Biden years when Christopher Wray was asked about the Epstein case. Massie was in some of those hearings. Wray was asked numerous times about the Epstein case and he would respond to every question with "there is nothing more to share, but I'll check and let you know if I find anything."
Wray gave that answer every time he was asked. It was a complete blowoff. Massie watched. He never one time questioned Wray about Epstein and he had no follow up questions when Wray would casually dismiss questions about Epstein. Why? Because he didn't GAF back then. Just like the Democrats and the MSM.
It's crazy that there are still some people who are still pretending that this had anything to with the "survivors" and that it wasn't completely, from the start, about trying to hurt Trump.
Massie and Khanna were to the Epstein hoax what Schiff and Swalwell were to the Russia hoax. Massie was the Schiff type, sleazily parsing his words and allegations. Khanna was the retarded Swalwell type, spouting whatever ridiculous claims entered his head.
I created and posted a video of some of the claims Ro Khanna has made about Epstein and the Epstein files. It's absolutely pure comedy. All bullshit.
Most people aren't aware of how much time these two spent on TV together from June of 2025 to July of 2026. Schiff and Swalwell TV type time, both of them making ridiculous claims and none of it turned out to be true. They didn't do that because they "care about survivors." They did it to hurt the current President. Can we all stop pretending please?
Do you know that Thomas Massie has repeatedly said during interviews that he endorsed Trump because Trump promised to be transparent about the Epstein files? That's a pretty ridiculous lie, but it doesn't stop Massie from saying it.
Massie has also repeatedly claimed that "all of Trump's friends" are part of the Epstein class. What does that even mean? That's Adam Schiff saying "Trump loves the Russians."
Remember when Massie made that post implying that Trump started the Iran War to deflect from the Epstein files? After posting that Massie went on TV and claimed that he wasn't actually saying that but that OTHER people were saying it and that's why he posted it. More Adam Schiff type talk.
In November of 2025 Massie held a press conference and made these statements as facts:
▪️There are men who have never been investigated before who are co-conspirators of Epstein's and who are guilty of rape and sexual abuse.
Never been investigated before but are guilty. How could he know that to be true? How could he have possibly made that claim unless he saw proof, which would mean that he is now covering up those cases.
He also said:
▪️There are 1,000 victims of Epstein.
▪️There are at least 20 accusations of rape and sex trafficking that the FBI is covering up.
▪️When the Epstein files are released, all these men will be exposed and will go to prison.
▪️If the names of these guilty men are not released and they are not arrested, himself, MTG, or Democrats will read the names on the House floor.
Was any of that true or was he completely full of shit?
Thomas Massie is the Adam Schiff of Trump's second term. Just watch what he's doing right now.
Everyone wants my opinion on Texas; in a sense, it’s an opinion on multiple states that fall into the same category.
Our elections rely on public trust that results are genuine, reflecting the real intent of legal voters. That is at the root of the national election integrity crisis - people increasingly struggle to trust outcomes. States that enshrine mail-in voting (universal or expanded) entrench a process that the rest of the world views as highly susceptible to corruption and cheating, making elections less secure. The model in those states is to ensure the side that can best harvest ballots never have a low turnout election.
At the core of election corruption is the voter roll. Studies and reveals have pointed out fraudulent (dead, moved, non-citizen, illegal, fake) in red and blue states, and they get worse with Auto Voter Registration (24 states). We have been operating elections like this, with bad rolls, for decades, well back into the middle of the 20th century. Combined with mail in balloting states they provide a never ending stockpile of harvestable ballots (see CA or WA).
Texas reported 267,000 mail ballots on 10 million total. Not enough to change the outcomes. Therefore, if Texas (or SC, MS, KS, IA, etc) have election corruption as instrumental to outcomes this year, it is contained in the electronic election infrastructure (“the machines”).
The failure to pursue election transparency/audits in elections that were won by GOP candidates, especially after 2024 when multiple senate seats tanked after Trump was declared the winner of those same states, has made it infinitely more difficult to pursue today.
I spoke with a candidate who won his US House race in Texas yesterday, who is a big advocate of election integrity reforms, and told him he is in a position to call for an audit of his own race. He has skin in the game and isn’t able to be branded with the “sore loser” label. I will be pressing him on this and there are several other candidates who can be approached on it if you know them personally. But time is of the essence.
There will be people who read this who think I suddenly think elections are fair, or worthy of public trust. I didn’t think that after 2024 and wrote an entire compendium of findings from 2020/24 changes, analyzing the laws of the various states and the impacts on vote counts. Elections in this country are full of holes no matter which party wins them, and the failure to accept that presents a major operational hurdle for when your desired candidates aren’t called the winners.
There will also be those who read this and assume I’m doing something other than point out the fact that we must do things differently this time if we want the answers we need. The president has briefed the nation on foreign efforts (and successes) in breaching databases and people who know a lot more about the electronic infrastructure have highlighted the issues with systems in use across the country.
Without primitive election systems in place and voter rolls not filled with bad entries, we will forever be in this same position - incapable of verifying election outcomes. My relative restraint on this topic this year is based more on the lessons learned in seeking transparency than it is any belief that we have secure elections people should trust instinctively.
Candidates who won races are the only ones in a functional position to drive scrutiny into the 2026 midterms, and for exactly this reason I believe NC was the best target for a 2020 audit.
I hope this clears the air. Elections in America are no more trustworthy than they were 6 years ago. The only difference is that 6 years worth of case studies suggest different tactics must be used to compel the necessary transparency, and it is much more difficult than it would be from the perspective of winner.

What I learned from this video:
- Elon offered Ashley $15 million upfront, plus $100,000 a month for 21 years.
- She rejected the offer and went public.
- He withdrew the original offer and reduced her monthly payments to $40,000.
- By the end, those payments had dropped again… to $20,000 a month.
In other words, Elon offered her generational wealth. She wanted more, went public, and ended up with substantially less.
And somehow, the WSJ expects me to feel sorry for someone receiving $240,000 a year to raise her own child.
In 2000 I graduated college and went to work for a very well known and prestigious management consulting firm. My colleagues and I would go out to lunch every day and debate politics. We did it almost every day. There was a large group of us and I was the only conservative in it.
In 2001 I was working with many of those people on a project in Atlanta. When September 11th happened, we were on one of the top floors of a building downtown, watching the events unfold on TV.
The next day a bunch of us met up in Olympic Park. We were all confused and fearful, trying to figure out what had happened and what are travel plans were since none of us lived in Atlanta.
I sat in the park on a massive blanket with a bunch of Ivy League graduates, listening to them talk about how they hoped that the terrorist attacks would not cause people to discriminate against Muslims. The buildings were still burning. This was Wednesday. They did the Norm Macdonald post perfectly.
The park was full of people. Some had even had brought American flags. I remember vividly thinking to myself "why am I not over there with those people?"
One of my coworkers told the group that he would "call out" any TSA workers for singling out Muslims to be patted down and searched. Everyone except myself agreed with him and even cheered him on. At that point I couldn't take the foolishness anymore. I told them they were the dumbest fucking people I had ever been around and then I walked back to the Westin hotel.
I lasted seven years in that industry. I didn't particularly enjoy it and truly despised the time they make you waste, but clients liked me so my company kept promoting me. I stayed until I couldn't take it any longer. Left and never set foot in corporate America again.
That feeling I had on the blanket, being surrounded by suicidally empathetic dumb fucking people, it's the same feeling I had before the midterms, watching Democrats rally around people like Abdul El-Sayed. It's why I devoted so much time and energy to posting videos of El-Sayed telling everyone over the years, in his own words, who he really is.
I didn't make one dime off of those posts or the time spent researching. Perhaps it was a complete waste of time. Maybe so.
I'm seeing all this talk on this site now about conservatives getting paid to post. How nice for them. I have never accepted money to post. I've been offered many times from conservative companies, groups and individuals, more than ever over the past year. My answer is always the same. I told people long ago that I would never post for money, so I will never post for money. All my posts come directly from me.
Many emotions, feelings, and memories have faded over the years as I have grown older. That feeling of contempt for people ushering their own demise is still strong as ever.
Anthony Scaramucci just posted that Republicans need to get rid of Trump before he destroys the party even further.
I'm seeing this all over and it's pretty funny actually.
Reminder, many establishment Republicans and political pundits said those exact same things in 2016, when they guaranteed that Trump would lose to Hillary Clinton.
They said those same things in 2023 when they were guaranteeing that Trump would lose in 2024.
They personally hate Trump because he made them completely irrelevant. Many literally had to become Democrats just to get some airtime on a podcast.
Thousands of these little narcissistic phonies who have never done anything for the Republican Party and who have been relegated to an hour a week on MSDNC, so want to feel important again.
Below are the facts. Does it look like Trump "destroyed" the Republican Party?
There have been three outlier elections (2018, 2020, 2026), during which Democrats have managed to produce between 15-25 million extra votes as compared to recent elections. Republicans have no interest in figuring out how this happens. They are just selfishly jockeying for relevancy.
Trump grew Republican support massively and consistently over the past ten years. People are going to be in for a rude awakening when he is gone. If the thinking is "Democrats won't vote as much if Trump is gone," good luck with that one. That's a real winning strategy.
2008: McCain - 60 million votes
2012: Romney - 61 million votes
2016: Trump - 63 million votes
2020: Trump - 74 million votes
2024: Trump - 77 million votes
Obama's re-election: Down 3.5 million votes from 2008.
Obama's first midterm in 2010: Democrat vote down 4 million compared to 2006.
Obama's second midterm in 2014: Democrat vote down 3 million compared to 2010. Democrat vote down a total of 7 million compared to before Obama.
Trump's first re-election: Up 11 million votes from 2016.
Trump's second re-election: Up 13 million votes from 2016.
Trump's first midterm in 2018: Republican vote up 10.5 million compared to 2014.
2022 midterm: Republican vote up 3.8 million from 2018.
Trump's second midterm: To be determined. Will be up from 2022.
Consistently gaining support during every election is what they now are calling "destroying" the party.
I just checked, and Trump didn’t nuke Iran like Tucker Carlson and Alex Jones said he would.
it’s almost like they’re full of 💩 gaslighting serial liars
I think a lot of people are completely wrong about what caused this midterm "blue tsunami."
I also believe that much of the hyperbolic, misguided analysis is coming from people who have hated Trump for a long time and who have been eagerly waiting with bated breath to declare the end of Trump and MAGA.
"It was obviously the Iran War. Trump didn't put America first. He betrayed America. It was gas prices. Only a fool would think otherwise."
Ok. Fair enough.
Allow me to present a hypothetical scenario. Let's pretend that Trump #2 never started the war with Iran.
Imagine if the price of gas was not around $4.00 a gallon but instead, let's say something low, assume $2.70 a gallon.
Pretend inflation was at a near perfect 2% for the year and GDP was cruising along at a 15 year high.
Assume wages were up and unemployment was at about a 50 year low.
No war. Great economy. That would have won Republicans the midterms right?
That would have prevented Democrats from flipping 41 House seats and 5 Governorships?
Those hypotheticals I listed above are what was happening in 2018 before the midterms. And yet, Democrats flipped 41 House seats and 7 Governorships during the midterms.
The Senate races turned out differently because Democrats were defending races all around the country in 2018. Republicans took back a couple red states. But the 2018 midterms were considered a massive blue wave for Democrats. No Iran War, economy booming, and still, that's how the midterms turned out.
Here's a fun fact. There were approximately 35.5 million Democrat votes during the 2014 midterms. There were approximately 61 million Democrat votes during the 2018 midterms.
25 million more Democrat votes during a booming economy. Do the current criticisms of Trump's second term explain that?
Trump went from 63 million votes in 2016, to 74 million in 2020, to 77 million in 2024. During each of his three midterms (2018, 2022, 2026), the Republican vote has increased substantially. But those increases do not compete with the additional 20 million Democrat vote bumps that happened in 2018, 2020, and 2026.
The question for Republicans becomes why do these gigantic Democrat vote bumps happen. How are they doing it? Is it because people hate Trump? They hate his policies? If those things were true, he would not continually gain support for himself and for the Republican Party.
Without even touching voter fraud, I believe that there is a clear, multi-faceted strategy that Democrats employed in 2018, 2020, and 2026 to drive insane amounts of people to polls, regardless of economic conditions. It's not difficult to identify, but Republicans don't talk about it and certainly don't have an answer for it. And Democrats can do it at will when needed.
Yes Trump won in 2024, but he was the only Republican that would have won and his win was helped by some unprecedented circumstances. Democrats were caught off guard. They did not make that mistake this time around.
Trump's second term has been far from perfect. Lots of mistakes and unforced errors. And once again, many terrible personnel choices by Trump.
That being said, I also believe that things could have been close to perfect right now and Republicans would have still gotten crushed during the midterms. Look at 2018.
Perception is everything. Republicans are not prepared or even willing to step on to the field with Democrats in this regard.
The Democrats are a cohesive, well oiled, united machine working in perfect harmony with the MSM. Together they can create and push any narrative they want to push. Republicans not only have no answer to this, they instead spend their time fighting each other.
Democrats don't argue about policy. They create mass hysteria and fear. It's all emotion. It's their entire platform. Most Americans don't like their policies. But they are playing a game in which policy and ideas and reality do not factor into the equation. And there are very clear strategies that they use to create this mass hysteria and to drive voter turnout.
Republicans are just going to keep helplessly watching this happen over and over again. They learned nothing from Trump's first term. The exact same lies, smears and hoaxes were used again, except this time around they replaced Russia with Epstein. Same game plan to the tee. For example, they created the same immigration hysteria that they did in 2018. Everything happened again.
Democrats were doing No Kings/Fight Fascism protests back in 2018 over immigration. People don't remember this but they were. I've posted videos about it. Bernie proudly declaring "No Kings." The immigration hysteria is especially effective at getting women riled up.
People don't remember Kamala Harris taking a ladder to climb a fence to break into an ICE facility in 2018 or Rachel Maddow fake crying on TV, AOC crying at the fence, or Oprah holding her book club at the border. Protesters literally glueing themselves to the ground in protest (over nothing). A Time Magazine cover with Trump menacingly towering of a crying migrant child. The audio recording of a baby crying that the MSM played on repeat for weeks before the midterms. The British PM Theresa May publicly condemning "kids in cages" (the same cages that Obama built and used).
Republicans just sat idly on their hands and watched it happen all again, making no attempt at rebuttal. Democrats are on TV every hour of every day. Republicans politicians can't even bring themselves to post on social media in defense of enforcing the law. No matter who the next Republican President is, if he or she attempts to enforce immigration laws, Democrats will turn it into a midterm win. Guaranteed. And that's just one weapon in their playbook.
Republicans don't even know how to deal with the sabotage coming from their own side, let alone unite in a perception war with the Democrat Party.
Before the 2022 midterms inflation had reached a 40 year high, gas was above $5.00 a gallon, more people died from Covid in 2021 than in 2020, the botched Afghanistan withdrawal happened, the border was wide open and Biden was struggling to walk and talk. Still, Democrats only lost a few House seats and even picked up a Senate seat.
With all that happening, why didn't 20 million more Republicans vote during the 2022 midterms than in 2018? If economy matters so much, why was there no red wave? Have an election "expert" answer that one.
People who are playing Monday morning quarterback and criticizing everything Trump has done this time around are so not prepared for or even aware of the war that is being waged. They most likely care. They are ok with losing and many just want to declare all things Trump dead and buried. Maybe next election they will decide to fight back against the incredible machine Democrats. Good luck with that.
The Republicans who are so joyfully celebrating the end of "Trumpism" are in for a rude awakening when he's gone. Trump has increased his support and Republican support in every Presidential and midterm election he has been involved in.
I'm going to lay out in another post some detailed thoughts on the strategies Democrats have used to turn out massive amounts of votes and what Republicans might consider doing in response. It's nothing genius but there is a clear, detailed method to the Democrat madness and nobody seems to be talking about it or even care about it.
Granted, I'm just a guy on X who doesn't know much, but it doesn't hurt to post my thoughts so I will.
