WOW 🚨 I just verified this and these election results are real. I ran the numbers through artificial intelligence:
The likelihood of these election results are 0.00001%, effectively 1 in trillions
Again, THE LIKELIHOOD OF THE MIDTERM RESULTS NOT BEING FRAUD IS “1 IN TRILLIONS”

Mr. Vice-President,
Please allow me to present a different perspective.
The problem was not the Iran War. It was the cease fire.
If you start a war, you need to win it and finish it – otherwise don’t start it.
This war should have been over six months ago, with the Strait of Hormuz wide open and oil flowing. The second and third tiers of Iranian leadership should have been destroyed, and we should have supported the pro-western forces who could have taken leadership. We stood on the brink of a new, more peaceful Middle East - and then we blinked. We had a chance not only to deny Iran nuclear weapons, but to get rid of the world’s biggest supporter of terrorism.
Instead, we had a cease fire, which was followed by months of will we or won’t we finish the job. Every day was a different message. There still is. Is the war over? Is it about to begin? No one knows. There is confusion and inconsistency.
In June 2025, America was not involved. This was an Israel vs Iran issue.
No one forced the United States to attack Iran then, or in February of 2026. It was a decision made by President Trump. In my opinion, it was the right decision.
Once the decision was made, we should not have stopped until the regime fell. But instead, you negotiated a cease fire that didn’t last, didn’t work and left us in no man’s land, with higher prices and our troops still deployed.
Our troops could have been home, the Navy returned to its bases, a peaceful regime in place , new alliances forged, and gas prices below $3.00 a gallon.
No, Mr. Vice President. It’s not the war. It’s the so-called cease fire.
One of the things the data analysts on our side obsessed over was "composition"—whether the electorate looked close enough to 2024 for Republicans to win. And despite polls that showed a Democrat blowout, the data kept on telling us the same story: in some states turnout was merely OK, in other states it was downright amazing, and in no state was it catastrophic. There was a genuine sense of optimism on our team: our people were showing up.
So, I asked the smartest data guy I know, does that mean we're going to shock the world? "No," he told me. "We might do better than the polls suggest. But the data is telling us that a lot of Trump/Vance 2024 voters are pissed and planning to vote for the other guys. Our voters are turning out, but they may not vote for us."
Well, that looks prophetic now. Our voters did show up. In Florida, for example, the electorate was 9 points more Republican than Democrat, just a couple points worse than 2024. Undoubtedly there were places we could have done better on turnout. But the main problem is not turnout. The main problem is that many people who voted for Trump/Vance in 2024 voted for Democrats in 2026.
There will be a lot of infighting and arguing over what happened and why that is. One of the pollsters I really respect told me that our economic messaging wasn’t sharp enough down the stretch. I’m sure that’s true.
But the real reason we lost is obvious to almost everyone.
Another pollster—one of the smartest people I know in politics, told me yesterday we’d lose the generic ballot by 13 points. I felt negative going into Tuesday, but even I was shocked by this. In his polling, he saw that a lot of Trump 2024 voters were angry and planning to vote for Democrats. He asked those voters who had abandoned us what would cause them to come back on our team. The top four answers, accounting for nearly all of the responses were:
1) End the war
2) Focus on cost of living/inflation
3) Put America First
4) Change our relationship to Israel
Our voters showed up. And the above four reasons are why many of them voted for Democrats. This is according to a pollster who nailed the results. While many spent Monday attacking Rachel Campos Duffy for calling for a diplomatic resolution to the conflict, it turns out her political advice was sound. (She’s also a great person.)
In the next few months, there's going to be a lot of gaslighting. Expect to hear any number of establishment politicians say the solution to our woes is amnesty. I'm open to the idea that we should change enforcement—by focusing more on businesses that hire illegal labor, for instance. But anyone pushing amnesty is lying to you.
The reason we lost is the war. The president himself said so last night.
If you'd like to argue it was worth it, that losing the Senate for the next 6 years was worth it, then do so. Argue it was a worthwhile cost to pay. Agree or disagree, that's at least honest.
But everyone knows why we lost. And any honest conversation about where we go from here must start there.
I remain hopeful about our country. To the people who are pissed off and want to say, “I told you so”: you’re right, you did tell us so. Take that energy into electing Republicans who share your worldview. To the people who are just pissed at the results, you should be. Let’s take that anger and get back to the work of saving our country.

Not a chance in hell Talarico managed a 26 point swing away from Trump's 2024 Texas victory.
ZERO CHANCE.

"They really elected Talarico and made a leftist their Governor."
Come on, now. In order to believe this you have to accept the premise that our elections accurately reflect the will of the voters.

Welp, the way I see it, is those scumbags in Congress didn’t do anything with the mandate and the majority we gave them in 2024.
If they aren’t going to pass the legislation we want even when they have a majority, what good is having a majority? What is the difference between a GOP and DNC majority, if the legislation we want never reaches Trump’s desk anyways?
Trump has been forced to do EVERYTHING from the Executive, so even if the Dems take both Chambers, nothing really changes. Trump will just veto everything the Dems send his way, and continue to make changes via the Executive Branch.
I’ve said it many times in the past, and I’ll say it many more times; I truly have zero faith in the Legislative Branch, and the only way we are making any changes in this country, is when Trump and the US MIL shut down the insurrection and infiltration, and put all this madness to an end.
Congress is useless, the Judiciary have gone rogue and are in open rebellion against the administration, the Democrat Party and media are conspiring with our foreign adversaries in wartime. There’s only one way this gets solved, and it’s through the Executive.
As long as Trump still sits in the Oval Office, that’s really all we need.

No drops tonight (nor tomorrow night, as I have to go fly back to DC).
But last night’s drop is all the more applicable after tonight’s election results.
The establishment Republicans will go all-out in telling you tonight was due to emphasis on mass migrations and a general departure from get-along Romney/GWB politics.
The other faction will tell you it’s due to over-focus on Israel.
The only constant is that every faction is manipulating your sense of directionlessness. Sovereignty starts with your own critical thinking:
🚨🚨THE DEMOCRACY FILES / ILLEGITIMACY PLAYBOOK, PART 14: TRUST-ENGINEERING 🚨
This is the last Democracy Files drop before Election Day on November 3, 2026.
No matter the election results, ask yourself those questions:
• Why do protests even work at all?
• Why does "nonviolence" work as a tool of regime change?
• Why do color revolutions work at all?
The Democracy Files document efforts that are seeded over multiple years, through building of a massive civil society that can mobilize on a snap of fingers. This civil society is supported by training judiciary, creating so-called "independent media" to amplify agendas, a fractal network of NGOs reaching into every demographic, massive amounts of foreign aid / philanthropic dollars, and so-called "international solidarity."
But what is the atomic unit behind all those dollars, activists, lawyers, journalists?
You are. Or more accurately, your trust is.
Think about it:
What if nobody believed there was a such thing as an organic protest? Then the imagery of Eastern Europeans storming buildings cease to be a spotaneous truimph of liberty and start looking like something much more engineered.
Tonight's Democracy Drop focuses on how our trust is engineered by invisible sources around us to create legitimacy for the NGO-Administrative Complex.
They go to lengths to hide their own existence; in one segment, they go from saying "nobody" funds them to admitting "some people get paid" to declaring the existence of 200 networks and 1,200 groups.
They've engineered plans for all outcomes in tomorrow's elections. No matter what happens, there will be a new narrative being forced upon us top down.
Think hard and carefully on who you will trust to navigate the aftermath, especially as we enter the "danger period" revealed in the Democracy Files of November 3 - January 3.
Hold fast to God. And vote straight Republican.
When Dems win, and you can count on them being in lock-step for the next two years, delivering for their voting base. Totally predictable.
When Republicans win, you have zero idea what they're going to do once elected, but you can count on them disappointing their voting base.

ALERT: I have been advised that the City of Detroit has been printing results tapes (not to be confused with end of shift voter/ballot counts) at the Detroit AVCB at the close of every shift. If so, that is an explicit violation of MCL 168.765a(13) which states,
“Election results must not be generated, printed, or reported before 8 p.m. on election day.”
If anyone has proof of such activity or is willing to testify via affidavit to that effect, please submit your findings to the FBI via their tipline.
tips.fbi.gov/home
Why is this important? In addition to being a violation of MI law, any such activity would provide fraudsters with data on actual election results which they can compare with their projections. Early Voting centers throughout MI are equipped with access to MI Qualified Voter File and Ballot Print on Demand systems. These elements of our election system enable fraudsters to inject fraudulent ballots into the system to make up any difference between their desired vote projections and actual vote counts. This enables the Democrats to push their deceptive "just look at the ballots" narrative without fear of discovery. The only way to expose any fraud that may have occurred in this way requires significant effort that involves examination of QVF transaction log, printer logs, surveillance footage, and, if necessary, canvassing of voters ostensibly said to have voted.
NOTE: I recommend filing a complaint with the MI AG as well, but I do not have confidence in the MI AG to enforce our laws. Nessel has a track record of investigating only her political opposition.

We're not messing around. We are building and preparing.
Bringing on @JulianneEMurray, a former US Attorney and longtime friend of the Oversight Project, to help lead the firm with @JeffClarkUS at @ItsYourGov shows that.
Lawfare and harassment is here to stay and may pick up in a big way soon. I'm not going to sit back and watch patriotic Americans lose to Marc Elias, Norm Eisen, and their various lawfaring pirate ships.
We have made the decision to build this institution in-house so patriots expressing their constitutional rights no longer have to rent high-cost legal services to survive. We need patriots on the field, not in bankruptcy proceedings or lengthy and frivolous legal battles. We are going to do a ton of good for America.
The team at the Oversight Project is already top-notch. Not only are they the best in the business, like @DataRepublican and many more whose names you may not yet know, but they are committed to the mission of saving America. Many could be cashing in big time elsewhere.
But they are here, fighting every single day. And there is going to be a lot more of that ahead.
If you can support, please do. I want to build an army of legal, investigative, and research talent. It's necessary.
We are undertaking the process of setting up the 501(c)(3) public-interest law firm. Our 501(c)(4) work will remain, but we're in the midst of a strategic restructuring to be able to open the doors come January 2027.
Get on board at the ground level and go with us to the moon.
