I’m a lifelong conservative who is fed up.

I don’t want data centers poisoning our communities and land.
I don’t want a damn camera recording me without permission.
I want American jobs and housing to go to Americans.
I don’t want a single dollar funding foreign governments.
I don’t want everything owned by a hedge fund.
I don’t want any more chemtrails or bio weapon vaccines.
I don’t want my kids taught things that undermine truth.

I can’t be alone.
If the huge number of voters who keeps sitting out would speak up, surely we could oust every single incumbent, ALL of them.

It’s America 250. My people laid their lives on the line to make this possible and it has been stole from us.

I want America back.

Turns out the border could always have been secured in days.

Turns out we can deport illegals.

Turns out we can stop putting poison in our food.

Turns out we don't have to pay for the world's drug R&D.

Turns out fraud in welfare programs CAN be stopped.

Turns out we don't have to allow countries to rip us off in trade.

They told us these problems were IMPOSSIBLE to fix. They lied. They just didn't WANT them fixed.

[Peter Girnus 🦅 @gothburz]

I am a senior coordinating producer for the White House Correspondents' Association Dinner. I have worked eleven of these. I was backstage at the Washington Hilton when the shots were fired.

The first thing I heard was not the gunfire. It was glass.

A champagne flute hit the floor of the International Ballroom at approximately 9:47 PM. Then a second. Then the sound that I have since been told was a 12-gauge shotgun, which from inside the ballroom sounded like a heavy door slamming in a parking garage. Then the Secret Service moved. They moved the President, the Vice President, the First Lady through the east corridor in under ninety seconds, which is protocol, which is practiced, which is the one part of the evening that worked exactly as it was designed.

Everything else was improvised.

I know this because I ordered the wine. 94 tables. Two bottles per table. 188 bottles of a Willamette Valley pinot noir that the Association selected in February after a tasting committee spent three meetings debating between Oregon and Burgundy. Oregon won. The budget was $14,200. I signed the invoice. I can tell you the vintage. I can tell you the distributor. I can tell you the per-bottle cost because I negotiated it down from $89 to $76.

What I cannot tell you is how 147 of those bottles left the building during an active shooter evacuation.

I can tell you what I saw. A correspondent from a network I will not name picked up two bottles on her way to the east exit. Full bottles. One in each hand. She was wearing heels and she did not spill. A man in a tuxedo tucked one inside his jacket the way you'd shoplift a paperback at an airport bookstore. A woman picked up a bottle, looked at the label, put it back, and took a different one.

She checked the vintage. During an evacuation. That's editorial judgment under pressure.

The theme of the dinner was "A Free Press for a Free People." The banners were still hanging when the evacuation began. I know because I hung them. Twenty-three banners, navy blue, gold serif lettering, $11,400 for the set. They were still hanging when 2,600 guests were directed to the exits by Secret Service agents, one of whom had just taken a shotgun round in his ballistic vest and walked to the ambulance on his own feet.

The agent's vest costs approximately $800. The wine that left the building was worth $11,172 at Association cost. At restaurant markup, roughly $29,000. The guests saved more in wine than the vest that saved the agent.

That's priority.

The video went viral by 10:15 PM. Not the video of the evacuation. Not the Secret Service response. The wine. Three guests in formalwear grabbing bottles off white tablecloths while being told to move toward the exits, while a man with a shotgun stood in the same motor entrance where John Hinckley shot Ronald Reagan 45 years ago.

A woman near the service entrance was crying. She said "I just wanna go home." She was not holding wine. She was holding her phone. She was the only person I saw that night who looked afraid rather than inconvenienced.

That's the distinction. The rest of the ballroom did not look afraid. They looked interrupted. An active shooter at the WHCD is a logistical problem. The dinner was disrupted. The timeline was off. The after-party at the French Ambassador's residence would need to be rescheduled. These are contingency matters. Contingency matters have solutions. Fear is for people who attend events without security details.

I have produced eleven of these dinners. I have managed seating charts that require diplomatic-grade negotiations. I have handled comedians, cabinet secretaries, network anchors, and the editor of a major newspaper who once threatened to leave because his table was behind a column.

I have never, in eleven years, seen a guest leave a $76 bottle on the table during an evacuation. I have also never seen a guest check the label first. Both observations are consistent. The bottle is worth taking. The evacuation is worth surviving. The instinct is to do both simultaneously.

188 bottles placed. 41 recovered. 147 unaccounted for. One agent shot. Zero guests injured. Zero bottles broken.

A free press for a free people. The press is free. The wine was $76 a bottle. They took it anyway.

Oh FUCK NO.

The National Popular Vote Interstate Compact isn’t some benign “reform.” It’s a goddamn constitutional coup d’état, a velvet-gloved dagger straight to the heart of the Republic, engineered by the same Marxist-adjacent architects who’ve spent decades salivating over the day they could neuter the Electoral College and install mob rule disguised as “democracy.”

These motherfuckers aren’t hiding it anymore.

With 19 jurisdictions already locked in at 222 electoral votes, they’re 48 short of triggering this Frankenstein mechanism that would hand every state’s electors to the national popular-vote winner…bypassing the deliberate genius of Article II, Section 1, and the 12th Amendment like it’s yesterday’s trash.

The Framers built the Electoral College precisely to prevent exactly this: the tyranny of raw majoritarianism, where coastal megalopolises and urban hives could steamroll flyover country, small states, and the federalist balance that keeps this experiment alive.

They knew pure popular vote would turn the presidency into a permanent prize for whoever panders hardest to the loudest, most concentrated blocs. That wasn’t a bug; it was the fucking feature.

Legally, this compact is a house of cards soaked in lighter fluid. Article I, Section 10’s Compact Clause screams that no state shall enter any “Agreement or Compact with another State” without congressional consent when it touches federal functions or the Union’s structural power.

NPVIC doesn’t just “touch” it… it detonates the entire architecture of presidential selection. No consent from Congress? Then it’s void ab initio, a nullity waiting for the first federal court with balls to say so.

And when it activates? Chaos.

Imagine a disputed national tally…hanging chads on steroids across 50 states…while blue strongholds refuse to certify or red ones bolt for the exit.

Withdrawal clauses? Cute on paper.

Once the threshold hits, good luck enforcing it without the Supreme Court turning this into Bush v. Gore on bath salts.

States retain plenary power over elector allocation, sure…but they don’t get to collude in a conspiracy that effectively repeals the Constitution by handshake.

Precedent from Virginia v. Tennessee to modern compact cases makes it crystal:

this is interstate collusion on steroids, and the Republic’s immune system is already twitching.
Psychologically, it’s textbook subversion… classic Saul Alinsky meets Gramsci street theater.

They frame it as “making every vote count” while knowing damn well it’s a Trojan horse for centralized control.

The venom here is the slow boil:

erode federalism, normalize the lie that the Founders were rubes who feared the people, and watch the sheep applaud as their own sovereignty gets auctioned off to whoever buys the most ballots in California and New York.

It preys on civic illiteracy, weaponizes envy (“why should Wyoming matter?”), and sells the illusion of fairness to the very masses it intends to rule.

These architects aren’t reformers; they’re predators who understand that once you sever the electoral tether, the executive branch becomes a pure popularity contest…ripe for the administrative state, the donor class, and the permanent bureaucracy to run the table while the rubes cheer their own disenfranchisement.

This must be decimated. Immediately.

Every state legislature that signed this treasonous pact needs to repeal it yesterday… primary the cowards who won’t, flood the courts with preemptive challenges, and demand Congress withhold consent like the Framers intended.

If it ever flips the switch, the Supreme Court must eviscerate it under the Compact Clause, the Guarantee Clause, and every structural safeguard the Constitution still has left.

The Republic was never a democracy by design.

It was a republic with safeguards. Defend it, or watch it die by a thousand statehouse betrayals.

NATO: Just a quick reminder that Trump doesn’t need Congressional approval to withdraw troops from Europe and/or to leave NATO.

[LHGrey™️ @grey4626]

Dan is right. Absolutely fucking right.

These past few weeks...amid the necessary, merciless crucible of this war in Iran...have operated as the ultimate forensic scalpel on the body politic.

The pretenders, the never-MAGA grifters, the self-anointed “independent voices” who were never anything but algorithmic parasites have been eviscerated in real time.

Their masks didn’t slip; they were ripped away by the raw physics of history, exposing the necrotic core beneath: a confederacy of liars whose only allegiance was to the next wire transfer, the next viral hit, the next dopamine spike from manufacturing doubt while real men and women carried the Republic on their backs.

Observe the pathology with clinical precision.

This is not mere disagreement; it is a metastatic psychological disorder...narcissistic opportunism fused with profound moral vacancy.

Their “analysis” was never born of conviction or courage; it was a calculated performance, the sophist’s ancient reflex dressed in modern drag.

Crisis becomes content.

Bloodshed becomes brand equity.

Loyalty dissolves the instant the engagement metrics reward betrayal.

They do not serve; they spectate from the safety of their feeds, then peddle venom disguised as wisdom, injecting cynicism into the bloodstream of a nation already at war.

It is the classic profile of the rootless commentator:

ego without skin in the game, intellect without honor, voice without soul.

Philosophy has warned us across the ages...the sophist is the eternal internal threat, eloquent in deception, lethal in his detachment from any transcendent principle.

Plato saw it. Machiavelli catalogued it.

History has buried empires because of it.

These creatures are not dissenters; they are dissemblers, trading the hard honor of public service for the cheap throne of the influencer empire Dan rightly condemns.

They forgo nothing. They risk nothing.

They simply monetize the chaos others are forced to resolve.

We do not need these liars.
We never did.

The fire this time has done the sorting for us with merciless efficiency.

The loyal remain forged in the heat.

The frauds are reduced to ash, their credibility scattered like spent casings on a battlefield they were too cowardly to join.

Good fucking riddance.

🚨 Thune declares ‘talking filibuster’ dead

Senate Majority Leader John Thune is facing relentless pressure from all directions as he navigates a politically perilous — and MAGA-driven — fight over legislation requiring ID and proof of citizenship to vote.

The pressure is coming from MAGA influencers online, House and Senate conservatives and even President Donald Trump. It all centers around a push to use the “talking filibuster” to pass the SAVE America Act.

It’s yet another self-inflicted wound from a party that can’t seem to settle on a midterm message. Republicans are tearing themselves apart over legislation that has captivated Trump’s base but has almost no chance of becoming law. It’s also threatening to sour cross-Capitol relations among top Republicans.

Thune has long expressed skepticism of the “talking filibuster” tactic, warning it would jam up the Senate floor for weeks or even months. The procedure would allow Senate Democrats to force votes on some of the most politically treacherous issues facing vulnerable Republicans.

By Wednesday, Thune had enough. Thune declared publicly for the first time that there’s no way for Senate Republicans to maintain the procedural unity required in order to pass the SAVE America Act via a “talking filibuster.”

Republicans would need to stick together to kill every Democratic amendment, or risk allowing Democrats to hijack the Senate floor and derail the SAVE America Act. There are several reasons why GOP senators are unable to do this. More on that below.

Thune went on Fox News and framed a Senate vote on the bill as a messaging effort for Republicans, making clear he wasn’t going to engage in a futile push to pass the measure. It was an unmistakable shift in Thune’s messaging on the legislation.

“We’d have to have 50 [Republicans] to defeat every amendment,” Thune told reporters. “And that’s not where we are right now.”

There are at least four GOP senators who are a no or leaning no because of the potential procedural change, including some who co-sponsored the SAVE America Act. That’s all it would take for Thune to conclude that there’s no viable path to passing the measure.

Thune has consistently leaned on the strategy that got him elected as GOP leader: Wait for a consensus to emerge among his 53-member conference before making a decision — a stark departure from Sen. Mitch McConnell’s (R-Ky.) style. That consensus is now clear.

This is news. One of the bill’s 51 co-sponsors says he told GOP leaders he’d oppose the initial procedural vote if they decided to use the “talking filibuster.”

Retiring Sen. Thom Tillis (R-N.C.) told us he’ll vote “no” on the motion to proceed to the SAVE America Act absent a clear plan to pass it without nuking the legislative filibuster. That means the first procedural vote — and several others throughout the potentially weeks-long process — would require perfect GOP attendance and a constant presence by Vice President JD Vance to break ties. One more “no” vote and the process couldn’t even get off the ground.

Yet even if the process were to advance beyond that point, keeping Senate Republicans together to kill Democratic amendments — which could range from an Obamacare subsidy extension to limiting Trump’s tariff authority — would be next to impossible given various senators’ political demands.

There are also the filibuster absolutists. Sen. John Curtis (R-Utah), another co-sponsor of the SAVE America Act, suggested he wouldn’t vote to table Democratic amendment votes if it meant changing the Senate’s rules.

“I’ve been absolutely clear,” Curtis told us when asked about voting to table Democratic amendments. “Breaking the filibuster is breaking the filibuster. So the reason or method doesn’t matter, it’s breaking the filibuster.”

On top of that, McConnell and Sen. Lisa Murkowski (R-Alaska) oppose the SAVE America Act altogether.

More news. Thune has privately expressed frustration with Speaker Mike Johnson over House Republicans’ incessant prodding over the “talking filibuster,” according to multiple sources familiar with private conversations.

Thune watched for years as McConnell steadfastly refused to even weigh in on the House’s procedural messes. Johnson, who’s dealing with a razor-thin majority that’s constantly at risk, isn’t directly egging on the pressure campaign against Thune. Yet Johnson has met with and boosted MAGA influencers like Scott Presler, who are leading the charge.

The online vitriol has become so heated that all of Thune’s social media posts — even one congratulating a Korean War hero awarded the Medal of Honor — are regularly spammed with calls to pass the SAVE America Act, some using threatening language.

Thune has also been on the receiving end of public and private lobbying from Sen. Mike Lee (R-Utah), both on X and during senators-only GOP Conference meetings.

“We’ve got an 85-15 issue. There’s no reason for us not to explore other mechanisms by which we can gain more support,” Lee told us. “One of the best ways to do that is to put it on the floor, have debate and not allow people to filibuster while sleeping.”

Proponents of the “talking filibuster” have been preaching “conference discipline” as a way to shut down the Democratic amendments. Rachel Bovard of the Conservative Partnership Institute, one of the leading proponents of the tactic, noted that Republicans routinely vote to kill Democratic amendments — even ones they agree with — during the vote-a-rama that accompanies the budget reconciliation process.

But several GOP senators said this assessment ignores the political realities facing vulnerable Republicans, many of whom wouldn’t want to be seen as opposing politically popular amendments so close to the midterms.
