Folks, just so everybody is very clear, this is laughable and a fiction. This massive amount of border area over multiple countries, including the Caspian Sea, cannot be interredicted by some mere task force headquartered in the state of Florida! I serve on the Afghanistan/Pakistan border in 2011, and I can guarantee you that even when we had 140,000 NATO troops in Afghanistan, we never interredicted squat from the Taliban going back-and-forth between those two borders. And somebody has a fantasy of believing that a border that’s *3 times longer*, through mountains just is inhospitable, plus the Caspian Sea, and you’re gonna succeed with no troops on the ground? It just shows you the absence of seriousness of our most senior uniformed and civilian military leaders in the United States today. It is embarrassing and shameful.

Get a load of this retard. They can never leave kids alone, this one seems very passionate about multiplying kids. And they wonder why we don't want them anywhere near children.

These racists are showing their true colours. They take me to be the boy to be told what to do and feel. They are under the impression that they have the self-imposed superior logic and thinking. They have never being my medicine and will be now.

The DA will lose its majority in the City of Cape Town in the upcoming local government elections.

So Russell Brand and a fan have consensual sex, but because he pulled it from her vagina and put it up her bum without consent that's rape? Have I got this right? #RusselBrand

I have very little to tweet the this morning, but just saying EXTREMELY RADICAL results have come in, in GP overnight. ANC nightmare scenario! 1) Huge DA turnout 2) ActionSA it seems levelling or DEFEATING the ANC in townships 3) DA inroads in townships Uncharted territory!

Using Transnet’s rail network is not something to be celebrated.

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.

Why are women so obsessed with murdering babies?

Turns out Americans don’t like a president who profits off the office, sucks up to Putin, constantly picks fights with allies, gets the country into wars he has no idea how to end, and has a Republican Congress that won’t hold him accountable. Who knew?

I'd rather lick every button in a hospital elevator than share a "fun fact" about myself in a team meeting.
