🤘 30 years ago today: SLAYER released 'Undisputed Attitude' — featuring covers of MINOR THREAT, DRI, VERBAL ABUSE and more.⁠
⁠
"We did 'Undisputed Attitude' in 1996 in rebellion to GREEN DAY and THE OFFSPRING," KERRY KING said of the album. "Everyone called them punk bands, and me and Jeff were, 'This isn't punk, guys.'"⁠

[Peter Girnus 🦅 @gothburz]

I am the President of the United States. I am at 99 percent in Israel.

Ninety-nine. They told me this on the tarmac at Joint Base Andrews. I was walking down the stairs — I take them well, everyone says this — and someone said "Sir, the Israel number came back." I said how much. He said ninety-nine. I stopped on the tarmac. In front of the plane. In front of everyone. Ninety-nine percent.

Someone on my staff printed it. I did not ask who conducted the poll. I did not ask the sample size. I did not ask the methodology. I asked the number. Pew Research — and I looked this up later, not that day, later — says sixty-nine percent. Among Jewish Israelis only: eighty-three. I said ninety-nine. On camera. In front of the world press corps. Nobody corrected me. Not my staff. Not the press secretary. Not the reporters. Nobody corrects me anymore. The correction would cost more than the number.

You know what I have here? In my own country? Thirty-five. Reuters says thirty-five. The New York Times — and these people are not my friends, they have never been my friends — says thirty-seven. I was at forty-one before the strikes. Forty-one. Then: thirty-seven. Four points. You know what four points is? Ten million people. Ten million Americans stopped approving of me because of the thing that made me eighty-three percent — which I call ninety-nine — in a country six thousand miles away. I traded ten million Americans for a standing ovation I have to fly to.

I said it at Andrews. On camera. In front of everyone. "I could run for Prime Minister. Maybe after I do this, I'll go to Israel." People laughed. The press corps laughed. I was not laughing. I was stating a preference. I am eighty years old. I state preferences now. I have said "maybe" before. Maybe I'll serve a third term. Maybe the election was stolen. Maybe means: I am telling you what I want and giving you the word that lets you pretend I'm joking.

They asked about Netanyahu. Same tarmac. Same cameras. I said: "He'll do whatever I want him to do." I said it twice because I meant it twice. Then I said he's not treated right in Israel. In my opinion. Ninety-nine percent and not treated right. That's our bond. Two men not treated right by the countries that need them most. I paid for his country's love with a war. He paid for mine with compliance. I don't need to be Prime Minister. The Prime Minister already does what I say. What I want isn't the power — I have the power from here. What I want is the ovation. The room standing. The ninety-nine in person. Not on a printout handed to me on a tarmac. In the room.

Sixty-four percent of Americans say the Iran operation was the wrong decision. That's where the thirty-five comes from. The war cost $29 billion. Military aid: $3.8 billion a year. Supplemental since October 2023: $13 billion. Round it. Fifty billion dollars. Divided by 158 million taxpayers. That's $316 per American household for my ninety-nine percent. I have never received better value. The country that paid $316 each gives me thirty-five. The country that received the $50 billion gives me ninety-nine. One got the shield. One got the invoice.

Thirteen. That's the other number from the operation. Thirteen service members. Six at a port in Kuwait. One at Prince Sultan Air Base. Six in a refueling tanker over Iraq. Four hundred and fifteen wounded. I was standing on the tarmac at Andrews — the same tarmac where flag-draped caskets come home, the same concrete, the same runway — and I said: maybe after I do this, I'll go to Israel. "This" meaning: the presidency. The thing thirteen people died during. The thing I do before the thing I want.

Fifty percent of American voters believe Israel is committing genocide. Quinnipiac. March. Half the country thinks the place that gives me ninety-nine percent is committing genocide. And my response is: maybe I'll move there. Maybe I'll run for their office. The half that thinks it's genocide and the half that doesn't — both groups are at thirty-five. They agree on nothing except that I should not be president. And I agree with them. I should be Prime Minister.

To be Prime Minister of Israel you must be a member of the Knesset. To join the Knesset you need Israeli citizenship. I am not an Israeli citizen. I looked into it. Not seriously. Seriously enough to know the answer. The answer is no. Article I, Section 9 of the Constitution: thirty-nine words. "No Person holding any Office of Profit or Trust shall accept any Office from any foreign State." I said I wanted one. On camera. On the tarmac. Thirty-nine words written in 1787 specifically to prevent this sentence. Nobody enforced them. The people who would enforce them funded the war.

No correction came. Not that day. Not the next day. Not from communications, not from the press secretary, not from legal. Because the correction would require acknowledging the preference. The preference is the policy. The policy is the war. The war is the thirty-five. And the thirty-five is why I want to leave.

The presidency is the thing I do before the thing I want. Thirty-one months left. I will finish this. Then I will go where the number is highest. Where the war I started is called protection. Where thirteen dead Americans are called a cost of friendship. Where $316 per taxpayer bought me a standing ovation and nobody sends an invoice.

I bombed my way to thirty-five at home and ninety-nine abroad. A wire transfer. I moved the approval to the country that appreciates it. The way you move capital. You put it where it compounds.

Maybe after I do this. I said maybe. I have never said maybe and meant maybe in my life.

This is so demented & incredulous that I thought for sure it was AI.

It isn’t.

Smiling while saying consumers are maxing out there credit cards is just evil disguised as analysis.

The people running this country hate you.

They have zero loyalty to the country or its people, they’re demonic creatures who love destroying & seeing others in pain.

YES. YES. I HAVE BEEN SAYING THIS. I started a spreadsheet in 2019 tracking every category where America is number one globally and people keep asking me to stop bringing it to Thanksgiving.

We lead the PLANET in medical debt. Not the developed world. The PLANET. There are countries where "medical bankruptcy" doesn't translate because the CONCEPT doesn't exist in their language. We invented it. We EXPORTED it as a field of academic study. German researchers fly here to observe it happening in real time. They take NOTES. We are a living laboratory and the experiment is "what if you made people choose between insulin and rent." We chose. Exposed. This is the thing we're best at.

We lead in incarceration. More humans in cages than China. China has 1.4 billion people and an authoritarian government and we STILL have more prisoners. We beat AUTHORITARIANS at their own game using FREEDOM. We did it with both parties cooperating across NINE administrations. Name ONE other bipartisan project that lasted fifty years. You can't. This is our moon landing. We just don't film it.

We lead in insulin pricing. $300 for a vial that costs $30 in Canada. Canada is VISIBLE FROM DETROIT. You can see Canada from a Walgreens parking lot where someone is deciding between half-doses. The same molecule. The same manufacturer. The border adds $270 of LEADERSHIP. That's what leading looks like. It looks like a 900% markup on not dying.

We lead in mass shootings. Not per capita. Not adjusted. RAW TOTAL. We have so many that researchers had to invent subcategories. School. Workplace. Concert. Grocery store. We have a TAXONOMY. Other countries have incidents. We have a CLASSIFICATION SYSTEM with peer-reviewed SORTING CRITERIA. That's infrastructure. That's RIGOR.

We lead in healthcare spending AND in maternal mortality among rich nations. Simultaneously. We spend $4.3 trillion a year and mothers die at rates that would concern a developing nation. We spent MORE money to get WORSE outcomes so consistently that it can't be incompetence. Incompetence wouldn't be this RELIABLE. This takes PLANNING. This is an ACHIEVEMENT of systems working exactly as designed across multiple industries cooperating to extract value from the specific biological event of someone trying not to die.

We lead in per-capita spending on our military while our veterans sleep in tents. We allocated $886 billion to defense and our soldiers come home to a VA waitlist so long that some of them die on it. We spent the money. We just didn't spend it on THEM. The money went somewhere. It led the way. Just not toward the people who fought.

I printed this tweet on a 24x36 poster. It's in my living room. My wife moved out last month but she didn't take the poster so I think she agrees.

A cow, given grass and rain, produces:

Meat. Complete protein, top of the bioavailability table.

Milk. So nutritionally complete we feed it to our young.

Leather. Ten thousand years of footwear. Composts when you're done.

Tallow. Stable cooking fat, soap, candles. Currently being sold back to us as skincare at eight times the butcher's price.

Bones. Broth, tools, fertiliser.

Organs. The most nutrient-dense food on earth, ignored by the culture that buys three supplements to replace them.

Manure. Grows the grass. The cycle runs again.

Try to engineer that. A machine that takes rain and a patch of grass and produces six complete products while improving the soil and reproducing itself.

You can't. We haven't.

We're being told to eliminate them. While flying almonds in from California.

Thomas Massie just declared: “This government is under siege.”

And he exposed Susie Wiles and Pam Bondi for taking “millions of dollars from Bayer.”

“All three branches of this government are under siege by lobbyists and lawyers from a German company named Bayer.”

“They spent over $9 million lobbying … so that they don’t have to be liable for any damages their herbicide Roundup causes.”

“The Constitution guarantees people a trial if they’ve been harmed.”

“Why are we contemplating going against the Constitution?”

“The Attorney General has opined favorably for this German company in front of the Supreme Court about getting rid of any liability that they should have for any damages.”

“By the way, the President’s Chief of Staff and the President’s Attorney General worked for one of the biggest lobbying firms that’s received millions of dollars from Bayer.”

“Maybe that’s why we’ve seen an executive order that says that the production of this chemical from this German company is a national defense priority.”

“And we know why they’re doing that.”

“It’s to keep them from having any liability.”

“This is wrong.”

“We shouldn’t succumb to the lobbyists, not in the executive branch, not in the judicial branch, and certainly not here in Congress.”

It is incredibly ironic that @realDonaldTrump would write that his pick to lead the CDC will “restore the GOLD STANDARD SCIENCE at the CDC, which was an absolute disaster focused on ‘mandates’ under Sleepy Joe,” when his pick is the QUEEN of mandating vaccines. She has, with threat and force, mandated almost every major vaccine on civilians and military members, including mandating injection of smallpox, anthrax, and flu vaccines into U.S. Forces, and disciplining those who refused.

The only thing she is likely to restore is the CDC to business as usual – cheerleading for industry instead of being a regulator over industry.

We just won.

Ticketmaster / Live Nation was the biggest antitrust case in years. A jury just ruled for us on all claims.

We brought this case with a big group of AGs and USDOJ - until last month, when USDOJ cut a backroom deal with Live Nation in the middle of the trial and bailed.

We rejected their deal, finished the trial, and now a jury has found that they’ve been operating as an illegal monopoly and used their power to unlawfully raise ticket prices on you.

This is a huge win for consumers and artists, but it also sends a message that we can still take on monopolies - and win.

But we aren't done yet. The case now moves to a second phase where the judge will determine the specific remedies needed to dismantle Ticketmaster’s grip on the industry.

Our goal is simple: restore real competition, end the abuse of consumers and artists, and bring fair pricing back to live entertainment.

I helped design the process a Congressional staffer has to follow after a member of Congress sexually harasses them.

It starts with mandatory counseling.

Not for the member. For the staffer. We call it "a cooling-off period." The staffer cools off. The member keeps voting on federal law.

If the staffer survives counseling, they get mediation. Not with their own attorney. With a mediator we choose. In a room we book. On a timeline we set.

If the staffer survives mediation, they get to file a formal complaint. Against a member of Congress. While still employed by that member of Congress. In a building that member of Congress controls the funding for.

That's due process.

Now. These same members of Congress wrote Title VII. They confirmed every EEOC commissioner. They held hearings on Weinstein. They mandated that every private-sector employer in America provide an independent investigator, legal counsel, and protection against retaliation.

Then they built themselves this.

They know exactly what a working system looks like. They wrote one for you. And then they built the opposite for themselves. Because a system that works would catch them.

That's institutional design.

Between 1997 and 2017, our system produced 268 settlements totaling $17 million. Exposed 0 names. Required 0 resignations. Cost the accused $0.

The money came from a Treasury fund. Your money. A line item somewhere between road maintenance and national defense. We called it the Office of Compliance.

That's compliance.

1 member settled for $84,000 and pledged to repay taxpayers. He never did. Nobody made him. 1 member's office paid $27,000 in "severance" to a woman who said he made unwanted advances. The word "severance" was the legal team's idea. I thought it was elegant.

In 2018, after Weinstein and #MeToo and the hearings and the marches and the hashtags, we reformed the system.

The reform did not require members to reimburse settlements from personal funds.

The reform did not unseal a single record.

The reform added a training seminar.

That's reform.

Then this month happened.

A staffer told CNN she was pushing her congressman off of her, saying no, and he did not stop. His attorney sent her a cease-and-desist letter. 3 more women came forward. 50 of his former staff signed a letter. The Manhattan DA opened an investigation.

A different congressman. Different party. Same building. He admitted to an affair with a staffer. He'd also texted a campaign aide requesting nude photos. The staffer he had the affair with took her own life in September 2025. He announced his resignation this week.

Both parties agreed: expulsion votes for both men. 1 Democrat, 1 Republican. Bipartisan accountability.

Then Nancy Mace introduced H.Res. 1100. A resolution to release the Ethics Committee's sealed sexual misconduct records. Redacted. Victim names removed. Just the conclusions. Just the names of the members.

The House voted 357 to 65.

Not to release them. To bury them. To refer them back to the same Ethics Committee that sealed them in the first place.

In a country that cannot agree on healthcare, immigration, or whether to fund the government past Friday, 357 members of Congress. Republican and Democrat. Men and women. The people who write the nation's sexual harassment laws. They looked at the filing cabinet where we keep the names and agreed: That cabinet stays closed.

65 disagreed. They were outvoted by a margin usually reserved for naming post offices.

We will expel 2 members. We will hold press conferences. We will say the words "courage" and "transparency" and "the safety of every person who works on Capitol Hill." The press will cover the expulsions for a week. And they will not cover the 357-65 vote at all. We gave them 2 names so they'd stop asking for the rest.

That's the trade. It works every time.

And every member who voted to seal those records knows what's in them. They know because we told them. They sat in a closed session and reviewed the files and then walked out and voted 357 to 65 to make sure you never find out what your employees did with your money to their employees.

The system doesn't have a harassment problem. The system has a disclosure problem.

We solved it in 1995 with a mandatory counseling requirement and a taxpayer-funded settlement account.

We re-solved it in 2018 with a training seminar.

We solved it again last month with a 357-65 vote and a filing cabinet with no key.

Every institution in America has this filing cabinet. Every HR department. Every university Title IX office. Every church diocese. Every corporate legal team. Ours is just the one your taxes paid for. And we're the only ones who voted to keep it locked where you could watch.

I helped build it.

It works exactly as designed.
