I’m sorry, but there was nothing so extreme that Trump has done to cause a 20M vote shift
Inflation is slightly higher than average & normal some months. My groceries went up 50-100% under Biden
Iran is not a major war. We’re just sending some bombs their way
Gas prices are already coming down & aren’t even as high as Democrat levels
The border is secure, crime is down
So to paint a picture that everything is just horrible under Trump is nonsense
It was rigged

Today, I introduced Sam Adkisson to the Judiciary Committee as @POTUS’ nominee for the Eastern District of Tennessee. As a Vanderbilt grad and former Supreme Court clerk, Sam will bring Tennessee values to the bench.
Let's get him confirmed.

Not satisfied by the shellacking they just got, Republicans are hellbent on losing even harder in 2028 LMAO.
BREAKING: Sen. Majority Leader John Thune has been re-elected by Senate Republicans and will serve as Senate Minority Leader in the new Congress when Dems take power. Senators Barrasso, Cotton, Capito, and Lankford have all also been re-elected to their positions. Sen. Bernie Moreno (R-OH) will now serve as NRSC Chairman instead of Sen. Tim Scott.

A lot of Black folks talk about Charlie Kirk like he was Hitler. What he actually told people was to go to church and take care of their kids.
"If that's extreme, this civilization is cooked. We're cooked. It's over. Pack your bags."

I don't entirely begrudge white liberal women (despite their silencing and labeling me personally at my previous job's DEI training), because they remind me of my own grandmother, who was born in 1916 into an extremely rich family in a major town near the Yangtze River. Her father, a penniless apprentice to a ship-lord in late Qing Dynasty, worked his own way into wealth by working in and learning the shipping business. By the time my grandmother was born, he had already built two factories that exported large amount of hog bristle and Tong oil to the US and a number of East Asian countries. My grandmother grew up in extreme luxury, in a large house with two dozens servants, was educated with a private American governess. By the time she went to college, she had already formed an outlook on life that despised the rich - she took her own good life for granted, sympathized with the workers that did the heavy-lifting at the docks, and looked down on the industrialists aka "capitalists" that seemingly were just enjoying the fruit of labor of others. She supported the socialists who promoted an "equal outcome" society and donated to their causes generously.
After the communist takeover in 1949, her father (who, luckily, passed away from a stroke several years prior)'s factories were nationalized, her house and entire property was confiscated, and she was appropriated a one-bedroom apartment for her family of 7 - she had 5 children by then. She was deprived of the right to work for several years, for being born into a capitalist family - deemed a descent of "blood suckers". I will not go into the details of the immensely gruesome suffering that ensued, except that during the Great Leap Forward (1959- 1962) she was in the final stage of starvation where her whole body was swollen and was saved by sheer luck. During the Cultural Revolution (1966-1976), her own son, that she used the last bit of her savings to send to school, only to learn class struggle and join the Red Guards, turned against her and severed all relations with her. Human cruelty can get to such a level in a system that brings out all that's vile and dark in people.
All I can say it, nothing is new under the sun. Liberal women who are excited by importing these "new" ideologies because of your misplaced sympathies, please wake up before it's too late for you.

My father was a car guy. Owned his own business. Fixed everything with an engine, raced cars on the weekends.
On the side he did construction. He never worked a day in his life for somebody else. Always told us to just keep working and it would all work out.
We weren't wealthy by any means but we never went hungry and my mother never had to work.
Every Fourth of July my father would make me and three brothers decorate the flatbed before he drove it through the town parade with all of us on the back. Here's myself and my younger brother waiting for my two older brothers on a July 4th during the Gulf War.
My crazy father would leave the parade and go about 50mph down back roads on the way home with us on the back of the flatbed, laughing all the way home while we held on for dear life. 🤣
My father was far from perfect but he always taught us to love and respect this country. His father served in two wars.
Probably somewhere in all that is why I'm on this site doing what I'm doing. God bless America. We fight on. 🇺🇸

🚨 HOLY SMOKES: Texas Democrats just filed nearly 20 bills to impose SWEEPING new firearm restrictions — on the VERY FIRST DAY they could ‼️
Days after winning the Texas House and the governor's mansion for the first time in DECADES, they went STRAGIHT for Second Amendment rights
They include:
- SB 80: Ban on "assault weapons," including possession
- HB 173 and others: FELONY to transfer many semiautomatic rifles to adults under 21
- HB 712: Lets cities and counties chip away at statewide gun protections
- HB 613: Background checks on private gun sales
- HB 659: Dealers must report people who buy multiple guns or magazines
HB 218 would also repeal the 2025 Texas law that BANNED red flag orders.
The only thing standing in the way right now is the Republican Texas Senate!
HOLD THE LINE, PATRIOTS.
THIS is what Democrat control looks like. Texas, you were warned. Turn red in the next election 🟥

🚨BREAKING: Susan Glass-Smith, a Black woman in Detroit, was immediately surrounded by dozens of Arab men after a car crash in the Warrendale neighborhood. They robbed her, yelled racial slurs, and tampered with the evidence.
She said roughly 20 to 30 men quickly surrounded her vehicle after an 18-year-old Arab American driver hit her. They opened her doors, took her purse from the front seat, removed the license plate from the other car, and pushed that vehicle away so police would not find it. The crowd grew to as many as 75–80 people. Some shouted racial slurs and threatened her with a spiked bat.
Prosecutors charged only the teenage driver with two misdemeanors. They declined to charge others, citing insufficient evidence. Her attorneys have demanded a full hate-crime investigation.
This is the reality on the ground in parts of Michigan after large-scale Muslim immigration. Arabs and Muslims have a long and documented history of treating Black people as inferior. Slavery of Black Africans continues in parts of the Islamic world today, and anti-Black attitudes remain widespread in many Arab and Muslim societies. Not every individual holds those views, but the pattern is real and visible.
Americans need to face what is happening. Michigan imported this problem. Susan Glass-Smith is the one who lived through it.

MIDTERM PRELIM BRIEF.
I am in the process of auditing 826 counties across 8 states from the midterm (TX, GA, IA, OK, KS, NC, NV, AZ) against 66 years of U.S. election history and federal voter-roll records.
There is a tremendous amount of data to go through and its still on-going. While the data is out with several people much smarter than I am, I feel comfortable showing some prelim findings.
Remember, none of this is proof of anything. This is just the math. Do with it what you will.

Bill Maher and Coleman Hughes finish each other's sentences for 3 minutes straight as they lay out how teachers' unions wrecked public education.
The MS NOW host thought she could sit this one out quietly. Then Maher turned and lobbed a grenade right at her.
MAHER: "The reason why they don't know that socialism didn't work... is because NOBODY taught them in school."
HUGHES: "A lot of kids go to underperforming public schools, which is our euphemism for government-funded daycare centers with occasional school-like activities."
MAHER: "I knew they weren't learning anything, but like you said, it's like a daycare center and not a good one."
HUGHES: "And I think people on the left want to blame funding because that's the easy issue. But the truth is, this school was well funded. You know, it's 50,000 per pupil at this school. The problem isn't the funding. It's that you can't fire anyone bad."
MAHER: "Yes.... The problem is the union, the teachers union, is too powerful. We've seen it in results in states where the union is less powerful, the schools do better."
HUGHES: "I call it the chalkboard mafia."
MAHER: "The problem, the unions protect bad schools and bad teachers, and the party protects the union. It's almost impossible in a lot of these cities to fire a teacher. I mean literally like you could sell drugs to a kid and it's got to be two offenses before we get—"
HUGHES: "It wasn't that long ago that the unions lobbied for a law in New York State to ban even collecting data that you would use to assess which teachers are better than others. You can't even get the data. So obviously the teachers union serves the teachers, they don't serve the students, and if you're a Democrat or any American that's serious about public school reform, you have to challenge the teachers union, period."
MAHER: "And I think in this school, where they were learning nothing with no supervision and absentee principals and teachers, I think spending 50,000 dollars per year per student, it's not money. That's what you always hear from the left. 'Oh, it's underfunded.' It's not the funding. The funding isn't the issue."
HUGHES: "No, it hasn't been for a very long time."
MAHER: "I think this is the kind of thing I will NEVER hear on MS NOW."
ALI VITALI: "I think you hear a lot of perspectives on MS NOW."
MAHER: "I don't ever hear that one."
CONTEXT: Maher and Hughes aren't making this up. On the latest Nation's Report Card, high school seniors posted the lowest reading and math scores ever recorded on the test.
And getting rid of bad teachers is nearly impossible. Federal survey data shows the average school district dismissed just 0.2 tenured teachers for poor performance in a year. That's roughly 1 in 500.
Meanwhile, students do better long-term in states where unions have less power.
A 2019 study in the American Economic Journal found that boys who went to school in states that forced districts to bargain with teachers' unions went on to earn about $2,100 LESS per year as adults compared to boys in states without those laws.
If a business failed this badly, someone would get fired. As Hughes put it: "The teachers union serves the teachers; they don't serve the students."

GEORGIA
Georgia was wild - they must have worried about Ossoff. Republican Senate Candidate got 210,000 less votes than the Republican Agriculture Commissioner and 190,00 less than Governor. In a total coincidence, Democrat Senator Ossoff got almost 200,000 votes more than the Democrat governor candidate.
However they did this (and I will be opining soon) it allowed them to fine tune which candidates got votes vacuumed away.

🚨My FOIA for Temulun Toguchog’s mugshot and arrest records have been DENIED.
It was denied on the basis that the information does not exist, leading me to believe that it’s possible Temulun wasn’t booked at all. I will follow up with University Police.

Democrats called Charlie Kirk all these same vile names. They said he should be "eradicated" from politics. A year ago we saw him murdered in cold blood. Now the Democrat House leader is using that language about @StephenM while calling for him to be ERADICATED too. Pure evil.

Rachel Welch has made millions by injecting rage into the body politic. In this podcast, she and her co-host break into uncontrollable laughter at a post that says, “We’re digging up Charlie Kirk and doing it again." newsbreak.com/mediaite-52057… What is notable is that, after her cohost denounces conservatives for spreading false news, they claim falsely that Kirk was killed by a MAGA supporter -- a claim long debunked but repeated by many on the left.
