Ok, but Tarrifs and your profiteering made it worse
🚨 Don Jr Says the Iran War Largely Caused the Republican Losses in the Midterms
“Whether you think it was the right decision or not, the Iran war is largely what shifted voter sentiment and caused this wave. It jacked up the price of gas … and it it changed their minds. We also campaigned on not getting into these things.”
I was expecting it to be more expensive
Tesla’s robot for $25,000 cleaned the whole house in 2 hours
Imagine coming home to a spotless place. Floors cleaned, dust wiped, everything in its place. No cleaners, no expensive services, no days off, no complaints.
Let's do the math. A house cleaner charges 50 an hour, or $30,000 a year. The projected price for Tesla Optimus is around $25,000.
Buy it once, and it pays for itself in less than a year. After that, it just works 24/7.
Today it's a cool demo. Tomorrow it's the end of an entire industry. Soon, a robot cleaner will be as normal as owning a washing machine. 💀
Republicans will re nominate her and lose AZ again where Republicans out number dems
President @realDonaldTrump is the greatest President in US history. There is so much to accomplish in the next two years. Nose to the grindstone. Let’s go!!!
Raise your hand if you are with @POTUS🙋🏻♀️

From the WaPo re. Paxton.
And before you try to tell me that the Texas disaster was inevitable, the very same people using that line right now were adamant a week ago that Paxton was invincible.
This is more of a reason the market crashed yesterday, and why it may see 40k before 60k. Investors love divided government at the national level, but when this started to filter out it is destructive to the economy. AI and Data Centers are the drivers of jobs and the GDP, Oil

I have not seen anyone say it was not an issue. The MOU extending this was the issue, it could have been done in June. But notice these guys, also never blame Trump and his re naming of stuff stupidly, that Don Jr had become Hunter business wise, or the number 1 issue the
I never saw one Ramaswamy yard sign in Cincinnati. In Butler County sure, but not Hamilton county.
A high level Ramaswamy campaign staffer openly said that they “didn’t care” about the urban counties. And they wonder why they lost. Thanks for having me on @JakeUnderwood92 to talk about my latest article!
The Texas Senate still has a Republican super majority. She will never get that through.
The governor-elect of Texas, Gina Hinojosa, has explicitly said that all currently permitted datacenters in Texas will be allowed to finish construction. This essentially covers all of the 2027 and likely well into 2028.
She is going to pass laws that ensure that all *newly* permitted datacenters going forward for delivery in 2028/2029 will pay taxes, commit to no increase in power prices for consumers, don’t impact water availability for people, be constructed with union labor and give “Texans a seat at the table.”
Sounds reasonable. She doesn’t want to lose a lot of good blue collar jobs and property taxes for small towns in rural Texas.
Datacenter commentary starts at 6:30 in this interview.
Also attaching her official campaign position from her website in the next post.
Sidenote: After watching a bunch of her speeches and interviews, I do think she is a political talent and probably has a future in national politics.

Ohio could have done the same
Why did Florida (largely) escape the blue wave and Texas didn't?
3 key reasons:
1. Florida had a property tax reduction measure on the ballot. Drove turnout & showed GOP serious about affordability.
40% of Texas voters said economy top issue. So did 37% of Florida voters. But HOW they voted differed a lot.
Among Florida voters who considered economy top issue, 55% voted Republican.
Among Texas voters who saw economy as top issue, only 40% voted Republican.
2. Cuban voters. As @giancarlosopo wrote, they still voted more Republican than other Hispanic blocs, although fewer supported Republicans than in 2024.
3. Florida had an actual socialist candidate. Exit polls showed Texas and Floridians had similar views about socialism, but again, actual voting patterns differed. 87% of those who viewed socialism unfavorably voted for Ashley Moody. Only 79% of those who viewed socialism unfavorably voted for Ken Paxton.

If you're such a low IQ moron that you opposed President Trump taking military action against the Islamist-terrorist regime in Iran when he was told (by them to his envoy) that they were 10-days away from having 11-nuclear warheads and had already enriched weapons grade uranium for more bombs, I don't ever want you to open your big mouth, show your contorted face, or write your asinine comments here or anywhere ever again! This would be the same Islamo-Nazi regime that has killed and maimed thousands of Americans over the last 47-years and has slaughtered hundreds of thousands of innocent young people and tried to assassinate our president and other top American officials. Your propaganda undermines the president, our military, and no doubt gave talking points to the Democrats during this election. Protecting our country is America first, fools. Just shut the hell up and crawl back under your rock.
Thank you for your attention to this matter.

It has been reported that Iran is “days or weeks” away from a nuclear bomb since the 1990s.

So so stupid. It's gotta be Kaine
NEW: Republican sources in Tennessee tell me President Trump is “encouraging” Governor-elect Marsha Blackburn to appoint Pete Hegseth to her U.S. Senate seat.
Blackburn could resign imminently.
That would let outgoing Governor Bill Lee name Hegseth quickly and give Trump time to get a new Pentagon chief confirmed during the lame-duck session.
Thanks @jdvance
Iran’s Supreme Leader Mojtaba Khamenei says US power is in “irreversible decline.”
“America’s waning power and dominance have suffered an irreversible decline, and the process of its collapse has accelerated,” he said in a message marking Iran’s National Day of Struggle Against Global Arrogance, per state-linked Mehr news agency. He added that both US military strength and its global soft power have weakened.
It’s part of a wave of Iranian officials taking a victory lap after Republicans’ midterm losses:
Parliament Speaker Ghalibaf, Iran’s chief negotiator, said Americans “said NO TO WAR,” warning that if Washington ignores that message, “our NO comes with a Nightmare”
Deputy Speaker Ali Nikzad called the losses the “aftershocks” of Trump’s defeat “at the hands of Iran”
