If you are confused how John Thune just became Senate minority leader…

Imagine your party gets hammered in the midterms, losing at least seven Senate seats to the Democrats and the majority along with it, and instead of stopping to ask what went wrong, Senate Republicans walk into a closed-door room just one week later, shut out the very voters who sent them there, and come back out with the EXACT SAME leader, because when Ron Johnson, Rick Scott, Mike Lee and others begged for a little more time so members could lay out a real vision for the party, the delay was voted down 31-15 in a private tally we only know about from anonymous sources, and then, with no challenger and no recorded vote, Thune kept his job by acclamation, and the rest of the leadership team stayed almost entirely unchanged, as if nothing happened, as if millions of Republican voters didn't just watch their majority crumble, as if "accountability" is something Washington demands of everyone except itself, so now the SAME people who led us into the minority get to lead us through it, Republican voters still don't know how their own senators voted on the delay, and we're all just supposed to nod along and trust the process and feckless, worthless people that put us here in the first place, which is exactly why so many of us are FURIOUS tonight.

[Glenn Beck @glennbeck]

The Left has begun to unleash a campaign of vengeance on @elonmusk. But did they even think this through?! Because it won’t end well for them.

Last Saturday, two chartered party buses, funded by a network of left-wing non-profits, rolled up right in front of Elon’s house. They danced in the street for an hour and hit a Cybertruck piñata. But wait... aren’t these the same leftists that were insisting just last week that Elon was buying the election? Maybe they were celebrating that they were wrong.

Then you have NYU Professor Scott Galloway. He went on stage and boasted to a crowd about taking a dump in the passenger seat of his own Tesla before selling it. I can guarantee Elon wasn’t hurt by that. The only people affected by his “protest” were whoever bought that car from him and whoever had to clean up that mess.

And now, there’s incoming Texas governor Gina Hinojosa. She’s already pressuring state agencies to hold off on SpaceX land deals right next to Starbase until she takes office.

And of course, there’s half of Congress that’s threatening to sue him into oblivion.

I have a serious question for all these people: How do you think this will end?

Elon is a trillionaire with a rocket company. If Texas tries to shut him down, he’ll just move to another state. If Congress tries to make his life a living hell, he’ll move to any other country that wants his businesses and innovations. I’m sure Argentina would love for him to build there.

And if the whole world turns on him, there’s always space.

When government power and mob tactics get unfairly weaponized against builders like Elon, they leave. But guess what happens after that? Because it’s even worse for our country.

The next builder doesn’t come. If the Democrats make an example out of Elon because of his political stances, it tells all future innovators that they’re not safe here. Not unless they fall fully in line... kind of like fascism.

The price gouging in every level of commerce has persisted since covid. Gas, Food, basics of life. This is not Trumps issue This is our fellow Americans and citizens and politicians of corporate America gouging every single person. I want to add that the dow also went up 1500 points because of the fraud of usaid and Medicare fraud, now it will be business as usual in the swamp all that money will be coming back to the market and be doled out to the wealthiest fraudsters. The FED will also screw us by keeping interest rates high, and real estate value high and credit card interest high to keep middle America from purchasing homes and building middle America. To hollow out the middle class. All this wealth will go to the wealthiest, the middle class will be living in all the apartment complexes being built in all the cities of America paying inflated rents. This economy has been built by the dems, for decades, Trump is trying to right the ship but the Republicans are knee deep in the Swamp as well so no help there. So he does it on his own. Elections are all fixed, seems pretty bleak.....we will have to outsmart the "machine". We are pretty scrappy , so im betting on us regular folks. @POTUS @JDVance @VP

Mel Gibson paid Robert Downey Jr.'s insurance bond when no insurer would cover him. Eight years later, with Gibson's own career in ruins, Downey asked Hollywood to forgive him.

In 2003, Downey was coming off years of drug arrests, and no insurance company would cover him on a film set. Gibson, a producer on The Singing Detective, covered the insurance bond himself so Downey could play the lead.

Downey has said Gibson also told him not to give up hope and urged him to find his faith.

The only thing Gibson asked in return was that someday Downey help the next guy.

In 2006, Gibson was arrested in Malibu, and his own career collapsed.

In October 2011, Downey received the American Cinematheque Award and asked Gibson to present it. In the video below, Downey tells the room why he chose him. About that old favor, he says Gibson "didn't imagine the next guy would be him."

Then he urged Hollywood to forgive his friend.

Gibson later told Esquire it was "a bold and generous and kind gesture."

Did Downey owe Gibson that speech, or was it a risk nobody else in Hollywood was willing to take?

@LangmanVince Musk companies (Tesla ~70k US of 135k global, SpaceX ~21k mostly US, plus X/Neuralink/Boring/xAI) employ ~100k+ in America. Soros Fund Management (~200) + Open Society Foundations (236 US of 464 total) total ~450. Direct operating jobs vs finance/philanthropy staff.

@Holden_Culotta Exactly. No one in government is checking these applications. They literally approve benefits for people who submit photos of DOLLS.

We don’t need higher taxes. We need a lot less fraud.

@VigilantFox Sooooo many people do this!

Caleb Hammer completely unloads on a Louisiana couple after learning their $100,000 household is collecting $500 a month in FOOD STAMPS.

That’s $6,000/year in TAX-FREE income.

HAMMER: “That PISSES me off.”

That $6,000 cushion is exactly what lets them blow $3,600 a year eating out.

Taxpayers cover the groceries so they can hit the restaurants.

Hammer was so disgusted he stopped talking to them and started ranting under his breath, while the couple sat frozen in stunned silence.

Maybe everyone gaming the system should have to sit across from a taxpayer and explain themselves.

Something tells me the look on Hammer’s face will haunt them the next time they eat out.

What’s terrifying about this clip isn’t their ideals…these sweet gals’ hearts are certainly in the right place. What’s terrifying is they have the civic, political, and economic literacy of a 9 year old. When a charlatan like Abdul comes along with the Jr High class president schtick of “no more homework and the vending machines are all free!”, they fall for it.

I don’t know how you get to that age with ZERO understanding of supply chains, manufacturing, labor costs…but a lot of folks think that medicine and MRIs and hospitals just materialize out of thin air like unicorn farts. They’ve never built anything in their lives, so they have no concept of how things function…things are just…there. They think milk comes from the store. They think rich people don’t pay taxes, even though the top 1% fund 40% of government with their taxes already, and yet 40% of all Americans contribute ZERO federal income tax at all. These people don’t understand that you could tax the wealthy at 100% and it would only fund the government for 120 days. Then you’re screwed.

Too many Americans simply have zero understanding of how anything works, and even though they’re living in the easiest times in human history, they think things are “terrible out there”. These commie scammers roll through and promise them things that sound great, but aren’t possible in reality, and have devastating consequences if tried…but because they don’t know anything, they fall for it. Sadly, so many of our politicians and their advisors are such atrocious communicators, there’s like zero countervailing narrative to push back on the commie gobbledygook, so we are gonna have to learn the hard way. Guys…we just had a sample of socialism: Covid. We all got universal basic income, and it ended up tripling our costs and they’ll never go down. Ever. That one brief little experiment in command and control government will haunt us the rest of our lives. Bleak stuff, man.

Vance to Microsoft: you laid off 6,000 Americans and took 6,300 H-1Bs. Your green card pipeline is suspended.

Only in California.

A San Jose pastor hands out FREE groceries to over 1,000 people a week. The city just told him: shut it down in 60 days or pay up to $20,000 PER DAY.

PASTOR RALPH OLMOS: “Do I stand with the people? Do I stop? And do I stop doing the thing that it seems like God has put me here for?”

What's the violation? The block is zoned residential, and the line of people waiting for food spills onto the sidewalk. The city says the pantry needs a special use permit. Price tag: up to $15,500.

Pastor Ralph turned an old liquor store, with two meth labs next door, into a free grocery line. And people on the sidewalk is what the city has a problem with.

What good deed will California find to make illegal next?

Rand Paul reveals Washington spent $4,600,000 of YOUR money to find out whether getting drunk makes you FALL DOWN.

Another $3,000,000 went to studying whether eating ants fights global warming.

$7,000,000 on a “smart toilet” that photographs your backside.

And $2,000,000 to learn if hot tubs help you relax.

Rand Paul kept the receipts. It gets dumber:

• NIH spent $1,000,000 to help people get over their fear of the dentist.

• USAID spent $48,000,000 to help disconnected Tunisian youth cope with modern society.

• NIH spent $36,000,000 to find out why stress turns hair gray.

• Washington even sent money to Central America to train people on how to apply for U.S. grants. Yes, really. We paid them to get better at taking our money.

Not one American with an ounce of common sense would vote to approve a dime of this garbage.

The government pisses away billions like this and never stops asking for MORE.

Sen. Joni Ernst reveals 6,000 IRS workers owe nearly $50,000,000 in unpaid taxes, or blew off filing altogether.

Rules for thee, not for the IRS.

Of thousands of delinquent workers, just 20 IRS employees who weren't paying their taxes were terminated. It's supposed to be a firing offense.

They hound you for every cent of YOUR paycheck. Yet thousands of them are dodging their own tax bills. Imagine what they’d do to you if the tables were turned.

Ernst is pushing two bills to hold them accountable: one to audit IRS employees, another to publicly name the federal workers who are delinquent.

You shouldn’t need an act of Congress to make the tax collectors pay their own damn taxes.
