Now that Witkoff has called Putin a "humanitarian," I think the Ukrainians should name something after him.
Recall that the term Molotov cocktail was coined by the Finns, because the Soviet Foreign Minister insisted that incendiary bombs were "airborne humanitarian food deliveries." So the Finns called their improvised incendiary bombs, "Molotov cocktails."
I don't want to get too dark, but calling children's burial shrouds, "Witkoff sheets," or prosthetic legs and arms "Witkoff limbs," or mass graves "Witkoff developments," would be poetic justice.
Witkoff already has more money than he'll ever need. But making his grubby immoral sycophancy to a mass murderer an indelible part of history would have value.

Ukraine is not Russia. That's Putin’s problem – refusing to recognize a separate nation, refusing to recognize a separate country – that's what did him in. He was shown a military operation that was supposed to take three days. We found parade uniforms in their various military vehicles. They were literally marching to a parade. He still doesn't understand and doesn't want to admit that this is a different nation, a different people.
They were advancing on Kyiv from all directions. Their main goal was to seize the capital of Ukraine. They reached Kyiv. They trapped us, and then we started hammering them, and they didn't know what to do about it. They were especially shocked when they drove toward the capital and people were just throwing burning mixtures. People were setting their armor on fire. It wasn't a matter of some general being an idiot. I believe the one who gave the order just didn't fully realize what was happening.
Because what does taking Kyiv mean? When you've taken those towns on the way to Kyiv, you have to leave troops behind to hold those towns. And that takes a huge number of people. It's a pretty large territory. If the people inside offer resistance, then you need an army to hold every town. That was their mistake. They didn't even realize there would be resistance. That was their main mistake. That's it.

There is a literal coup against President Trump being plotted as we speak.
1,600+ former USAID employees, military, state dept diplomats, & foreign policy officials are planning violence for after the midterms.
If Democrats win the House & Senate, the plot will be activated.
DSA “foot soldiers” will take to the streets, instigating violence clashes with Trump law enforcement agents.
They intend their violence to provoke Trump into invoking the Insurrection Act.
If Trump invokes that law, the thugs plan to seize power from the federal govt in a “doomsday scenario” deletimizing the federal govt and giving power to Democrat governors in blue states.
Then they plan to impose their “structural reforms” on the country. A “refounding” they call it. They mean impose communism on you.
They also plan for a “breakthrough” to happen to take Trump out between now and Jan 3.
This plot appears to be the brainchild of color revolution experts like Erica Chenoweth, and others who worked at USAID.
Honestly it BLOWS MY MIND that some people are gonna sit out the midterms. Not vote. Are you crazy?
Literal communists who hate you and want to kill you are plotting to overthrow our govt, steal your vote and topple the president you elected.
Who, by the way, is THE ONLY PRESIDENT IN HISTORY who has successfully obliterated USAID, the institution that produces these color revolutions aimed at YOU.
I get it, gas prices are too high. For sure.
But are you out of your mind to throw away your midterm vote when the choice is between USAID thugs who are trying to stage a violent coup and topple our country and President Trump who DOGE’d USAID and cut off the funding that went from USAID to the NGOs that pay for the left wing color revolutions aimed at you???
I truly don’t get how anyone could skip voting in the midterms.
I’d crawl over broken glass to give Trump’s agenda to dismantle the deep state two more years.
And, you know, save our country and civilization from the violent death of communism.
Just think, you wouldn’t even know about this coup plot if not for @DataRepublican. You might have skipped your vote, handed Congress to the Democrats and suddenly faced… revolutionary communist violence.

Major candidates I would be least upset/most happy watching lose:
Sayed
Paxton
Ramaswamy
Hochul
Marshall

NEW YORK TIMES now confirming my reporting from weeks ago that El-Sayed signed a letter in support of the Muslim Brotherhood in 2012
(naturally not crediting the Free Beacon at all)
El-Sayed also refused to comment on letter to them!)

I’ve kept my mouth shut for a long time about #meangirl @megynkelly. She used to be one of my closest friends and then she ghosted me after she endorsed @andrewcuomo for mayor and I told her she broke my heart. Her comments about @1capplegate are disgusting. Having #MS for over 20 years, she knows how long it took for doctors to diagnose me. I think Christina is brave for telling the truth and I’m grateful she became a voice for so many of us. I will have much more to say about this when I’m well enough. I’ve been sick for several weeks in and out of the hospital but when I’m well enough I will comment more. realitytea.com/2026/10/21/me…

“It displeases Christ to vote for…” is a suboptimal way to begin a sentence imho.

Tucker Carlson explains that the Incas had technology more advanced than modern lasers—because a modern laser couldn't possibly cut stones like that.
He knows this because he's been to Peru, and he loves stone masonry.
"It's just a fact, a demonstrable fact, inarguable."
So where are the Incas now? He concludes that, like other civilizations, they destroyed themselves with their technology.
(An archaeologist reproduced the cuts 40 years ago by hitting rocks with other rocks.)

The thing Vance gets about politics is that you don't sell half your soul.
Vance: The media and the Democrats in the state of Ohio are obsessed because Vivek Ramaswamy had the audacity to run a TV commercial which calls it out like it is and calls Amy Acton a liar.
Readers added context they thought people might want to know
The ad features Amy Acton's estranged mother disputing Acton's account of childhood homelessness, rape and abuse. Both 1978 Mahoning County court records and Acton's brother, Phillip Stearns, corroborate her account of living in a tent and abuse.
