I asked @jamesfishback what his advice is to disenfranchised Gen Z Republican voters for the midterms who have a Republican on the ballot who’s subservient to Israel. Fishback: “ I have the simplest litmus test in 2026. Did they take money from AIPAC.”

Court records, contemporaneous news reports, and her brother’s statements all confirm Amy Acton’s account of childhood sexual abuse by her stepfather. She and her brother were removed from the home at age 12 after he was charged and indicted; the mother left with him as he became a fugitive. Vivek’s campaign put that same mother on camera calling Acton a liar about her past and is spending millions to air it. Records don’t support the ad. This is a new low and will likely cost his the race.

Sources from last night’s Villa Hills City Council meeting say Mayor Heather Jansen is fully standing with the city’s Flock cameras. Villa Hills currently has 5 of them in use. While neighboring cities like Newport, Independence, Fort Mitchell, Fort Thomas, and others have canceled contracts and pulled theirs over privacy and mass-surveillance concerns, Villa Hills is holding the line. Residents have been outspoken about their opposition to the cameras, despite the Mayor still advocating for them.

Iran’s state TV just released exclusive footage of underground Artesh (Army) drone factories. Tunnels full of thousands of ready-made drones, plus production lines for systems like the Arash. Officials claim output never dropped and stocks are solid. The “Iran is collapsing” narrative is harder to sell when they’re showing the warehouses on camera.

Netanyahu openly says he’s working “a great deal” with third countries to displace Palestinians from Gaza—problem is just finding takers, “beginnings” exist, 150k already gone. This is textbook war crime under Geneva Convention IV Art. 49: prohibits individual/mass forcible transfers & deportations of protected persons from occupied territory, regardless of motive. “Voluntary” label fails when destruction & conditions coerce exit; limited temporary evacuation exceptions require return. Grave breach. US shouldn’t fund or enable it.

Nick Fuentes GRILLS the GOP for its many failures and says to vote Democrat in the midterms. Gas near $4.30/gallon and mortgage rates stuck around 7.4% while inflation runs hot — Americans are getting crushed by the costs of this war. Yet the GOP still arrogantly expects a straight-ticket vote. Not happening. I’m endorsing a libertarian and one Republican, and I hope the rest of the Democrats win the midterms.

Dan Bongino blocked me in January for repeating something that came out of his own mouth.

Floridians, when you go to vote for governor, remember that Byron Donalds, as a congressman, has done nothing to stop the war in Iran and has voted for every measure that keeps us at war. People like him are directly responsible for the high gas prices you’re paying right now. If this is how Byron Donalds has performed as a U.S. congressman, how could you ever consider him to represent you as governor?

Trump told NewsNation the US is not negotiating with Iran and “something will happen fairly soon.” Israeli elections are next week and Netanyahu’s bloc is in a tight race. Is this an October surprise to escalate and help keep him in power longer—or even pressure to delay the vote if it looks like he’s losing? Or does this signal that, win or lose in Israel, Trump waits until after the US midterms so he can move without having to cater to anyone for the rest of his term? Timing is hard to ignore.

Poughkeepsie Mayor Yvonne Flowers is set to veto the Common Council’s resolution to end the city’s Flock camera program. The council cited Flock misleading the public about sharing data with federal agencies and concerns over how long vehicle location data is stored. Dutchess County’s DA and sheriff already dumped Flock last month. Mayor’s response? Public safety requires this tech “with appropriate safeguards.” Poughkeepsie has an estimated 29-34 flock cameras currently installed.

When I covered Trump’s North Carolina rally the other day, I listened in to some Trump-related segment on RBN Live before it started, and he claimed the reason you need to vote Republican in the midterms is because of all of Trump’s Supreme Court appointees. So the very people Trump appointed to the Supreme Court not only voted against ending birthright citizenship, but are now rebuffing prison medical care restrictions for inmates seeking transgender surgeries. This is the “Golden Age.” 🏅🇺🇸

At a Young America’s Foundation event today, an Asian student asked an Indian woman how to fight Nick Fuentes. Her answer: “For the first time in my life I am absolutely TERRIFIED by the influence of Nick Fuentes and the Groypers.” Groypers and far-right young men are everywhere now. This is exactly what the establishment and foreigners fear.

At Trump’s South Carolina rally tonight, one of the six protesters removed was a young Gen Z man who was aggressively dragged out by police while the crowd chanted “USA.” This tracks with the latest NYT/Siena polling showing just 16% of 18-29 year olds approve of Trump (79% disapprove). Young voters who swung toward him in 2024 are now showing up in person to interrupt him in deep red territory. The numbers and the interruptions are telling the same story.

USDA confirms the first New World screwworm case in U.S. wildlife — a Texas elk harvested by a hunter on a game ranch in Pecos County. This flesh-eating parasite (larvae eat living tissue in wounds) was eradicated from the country in 1966. Now it’s back in wildlife after a calf case earlier this year. Hunters: watch for maggots, foul smells, and weak animals. Report anything suspicious.

Leigh McGowan just laid it out plain on CNN: Trump’s numbers are in the toilet because people’s lives are quantifiably worse since he got back in. He lied about day-one lower prices, no new wars, and that healthcare plan. Now he’s using our tax dollars to bail out farmers again and floating $5k “bribes” for GOP voters. This isn’t a winning message. Meanwhile Scott Jennings is sitting there rolling his eyes and practically vibrating to interrupt—because deep down he knows she’s right and Trump has nothing real to show for it.

CNN’s went to a Trump rally in Kentucky and interviewed local Republicans who still back Trump and vote GOP—and a lot of them are dead-set against the massive Meta AI data center planned for Mason County. These are deep-red voters. Trump called communities that fight data centers “backwards and poor.” The locals CNN talked to (and the ones putting up “No Data Center” signs) disagree. They don’t want Silicon Valley sucking up Ohio River water, straining the grid, and getting a 40-year property tax break while only creating a few hundred permanent jobs. America First means putting Kentucky communities first—not handing Big Tech a blank check and calling it progress.

Publicly supporting Israel as a political candidate is becoming a major liability. I had a feeling this would happen. It always means we need to pay that much more attention to where the money is going.

Trump just got interrupted by another heckler mid-rant about not getting the Nobel Prize (and apparently the Pulitzer too). That’s the third one tonight alone at the South Carolina rally. Same pattern as the last few days—multiple disruptors getting dragged out while he rambles and the crowd chants USA. Not random. This is what falling approval looks like in real time, even in friendly territory.

Trump: “I think Melania’s movie is the number one movie of the year.” Amazon dropped ~$75 million on it (record for a doc) and had staff propping it up while it flopped. Directed by Brett Ratner—accused by multiple women of sexual misconduct (including forced oral sex)—and who showed up in the Epstein files photos with Epstein. This is the “success” they’re celebrating.
