Media reports have said the White House monitors social media engagement on issues.
I’m tagging @StephenM so we can let him know that we want to deport all of these illegals by any means necessary.
No exceptions. IDGAF if they are 8 years old or 80 years old. IDGAF if they’ve been here for 20 years and a model citizen. They’ve had plenty of time to self deport. Anyone still here is sticking up a middle finger to all of us.
Debank them the same way the Biden administration de-banked conservatives. Go back to the Greg Bovino style of making them afraid to even leave their homes. We want work place raids, and arrest the owners who hired them.
At this point, anyone who hasn’t self deported should be considered enemy combatants attempting to harm our country.
Go arrest the sanctuary city mayors and governors who are aiding and abetting foreign invaders of the United States of America.
I’m not sure what intel you all have received over the last two years, but by golly, we the people think this is one of the biggest threats to our country.
If there’s one thing you could do to salvage the perception of 47 it would be to ramp up deportations to levels we can’t even imagine.
We sent a mandate for MASS DEPORTATIONS. If there’s one thing to deliver on, please deliver on this issue.

Oh and before I forget: huge thanks and fuck you to that feckless, shaky bitch Susan Collins, who refused to vote for election integrity legislation and opposed Todd Blanche’s confirmation thinking it would help her win over Democrats. Congrats! You got bulldozed by a cousin-fucker.

Chuck Schumer just announced he’s nuking the filibuster.
May God damn John Thune to Hell.
Readers added context they thought people might want to know
Schumer did not announce he is nuking the filibuster; when asked about it he pivoted to reducing costs as the priority and did not confirm or endorse the idea.

Pay attention to anyone saying this, they are pushing a narrative that is very destructive to our country. Trump has done nothing to be pardoned for and they have no clue what is coming. In other words, they are ignorant.

No. You didn’t. You are absolutely 100% wrong. You did nothing of the sort. @NRSC Senate Republicans under YOUR “leadership” did nothing. Nothing.
You had the chance to begin the process of saving our election system from the radical left. By passing the SAVE America Act. But K Street either didn’t care or opposed it. So why bother, right?
Because the GOP Senate only does what can be monetized via those endless lobbyist dinners / fundraisers. If it can’t raise you money? Probably not worth doing.
And you BERATED @BasedMikeLee for trying to get you to work full weeks, to try to pass the SAVE America Act. Or to work a weekend sometime. Or not to recess for weeks in March and then again recess for a month in August. You and your fellow GOP Senators told him that nobody cared about the SAVE America Act. That he needed to sit down and shut up.
And the American people watched you, day after lazy, do-nothing day. And how you literally could not come up with a single idea to manage the Senate rules to get the bill passed. You just could not figure it out. Because you really didn’t and don’t care. And because you just are clueless.
What’s all the fuss, you say. It’s not a big deal to you that our election system has been taken over and manipulated by the left. That aliens by the hundreds of thousands are on our voter rolls, that there are illegal votes by the thousands in the election results…and that it matters. It matters to the USA. But not to you @LeaderJohnThune
So now, you don’t have to worry about it. You don’t have to be in charge of producing meaningful results for the American people. They just sent you to your room without any supper. I’m sure you must be relieved. You and your fellow GOP colleagues who just flat couldn’t be bothered to figure out how to save our elections.
Well done, you. What a waste of space you’ve been as a leader. That term should never be applied to you or to your inner circle.
Utterly disgusted by the lot of you. You did this. Tuesday was the Thune election. You own it. Hope you’re happy.

Congratulations, you just played yourself @LeaderJohnThune
You won't be in charge of anything shortly. You can take that "Leader" title off your account in January.
All you had to do was support Trump, and you played your own game....we won't forget.
Over the last two years, Senate Republicans have put up a strong record of accomplishment that’s created safer streets, more money in Americans’ pockets, and new opportunities for families and businesses to get ahead. After fighting Democrat obstruction at every turn, we prevented the largest tax hike in American history, secured our border in an unprecedented way, confirmed the president’s Cabinet at the fastest pace in two decades, and put strong conservative judges on benches across the country faster than we have since the Reagan administration. I’m proud of our team and everything we’ve done for the American people, and I’m looking forward to the important work we have in front of us over the next few months. As we head into 2027, Senate Republicans will not stand idly by as the far-left, socialist wing of the Democrat Party attempts to unwind everything we’ve done. Thankfully, we still have President Trump in the White House, and we’ll work with him to stop the worst impulses of Democrat extremism. We cannot let their fringe positions become the mainstream.

She was 17, working as a Hooters waitress in Jacksonville, Florida, when the cooks walked out. She didn't know how to deep fry chicken tenders or fries. She went back to the kitchen and figured it out.
Two years later, Hooters asked her to fly to Australia to help open the first franchise there. She'd never been on a plane. She didn't have a passport.
She got the passport and went. By 26, she was a vice president. She helped grow Hooters from 100 locations to over 500 in 33 countries and from $300 million to $1 billion in revenue. She never finished her undergraduate degree.
At 32, Cinnabon recruited her to be president. She was the youngest CEO to ever appear on Undercover Boss. Under her leadership, Cinnabon added 200 bakeries, expanded to 56 countries, and approached $1 billion in annual sales through partnerships with Taco Bell, Burger King, and grocery stores.
She grew up on a $10-a-week grocery budget. Three sisters. Single mom who left their alcoholic father when Kat was nine. The family survived on her mother's determination and multiple jobs.
"Every year on my birthday card, my mom writes: 'Don't forget where you came from, but don't you dare ever let it solely define you.'"
Kat was the first person in her family to attend college. She enrolled in an engineering program at the University of North Florida but dropped out to pursue her career at Hooters. She later earned her MBA from Georgia State University without a bachelor's degree, getting accepted through letters of recommendation from business leaders including Ted Turner.
After Cinnabon, she became Group President of Focus Brands (Cinnabon, Auntie Anne's, Moe's, Carvel, Schlotzsky's). Then in 2021, AG1 (formerly Athletic Greens) recruited her after the founder heard her on a podcast. She became President and COO, then CEO in 2024.
She's known for a practice she calls the "hotshot rule": every month, she asks herself, "If a hotshot took over my job today, what's the first thing they'd fix that I've been tolerating?"
Here's what Kat Cole's story makes me think about. She said yes before she was ready. Every major career leap, from the kitchen walkout to Australia to Cinnabon to AG1, happened because she said yes to something she wasn't qualified for yet and then figured it out in real time. "Saying yes before you are ready is only half of it. You have to use your hustle muscle to close the gap."
Most people wait until they feel ready. They wait for the degree, the experience, the credentials, the confidence. Kat built one of the most impressive corporate careers of her generation by saying yes first and learning second. Every single time.
I think about that in my own work. I've never felt fully ready to start any of the businesses I've built. The readiness came after the commitment.
"Saying yes before you are ready is only half of it. You have to use your hustle muscle to close the gap."
What are you waiting to feel ready for that you should just say yes to?

I love the magical conception socialists have of their ideology.
Apparently, socialism means everyone gets affordable food, housing, healthcare, and a comfortable retirement, while nobody has to worry about producing any of it.
How? By transferring control of production and distribution to politicians, who will presumably abolish scarcity, eliminate incompetence, and develop an unprecedented resistance to corruption.
And when the inevitable shortages arrive, they'll blame capitalism for failing to produce what they prevented it from producing.
It's remarkable how confidently people advocate an economic system without demonstrating the slightest understanding of economics.

The defining political question of our time is whether the United States of America is a nation that exists for the benefit of her people, or an economic zone and welfare machine that exists for the benefit of everyone else.
Americans have watched for a decade as every president, lawmaker, judge, sheriff, and bureaucrat in the country has offered their answer to that question.
Today, there are no fence-sitters left for us to wonder about their convictions.
Republicans, led by President Donald Trump, hold that America is for Americans, that illegal immigrants should be returned to their home countries, that foreign criminals should be immediately apprehended, punished, and deported, and that fraud against the American people is an intolerable crime.
Democrats, led by Joe Biden, then by Kamala Harris, and now by the Democratic Socialists of America, hold that our country exists so that the rest of the world can one day arrive in it. They invite millions to illegally cross our borders and remain here. They refuse to cooperate in the arrest and deportation of illegal murderers and rapists. They refuse to protect the votes of citizens. They attack anyone who exposes billions of dollars in fraud stolen from our people.
Americans have now experienced, firsthand, both visions for our country.
They know what each side stands for, and which future—or lack thereof—each offers to their children.
I know which future I choose.

One day, people will trace almost every ill of our time back to a single root cause.
Not capitalism. Not social media. Not AI.
Something much gentler. Much nicer. An idea we've been taught as a moral given since the end of World War II:
"Let's centralize, for the common good."
That's social democracy. And it works in three stages.
First, the intention. It's pure. Nobody wakes up wanting to ruin a country. People want to protect, equalize, secure. Who could be against that?
Then, centralization. To do good at scale, you need a center that decides. A ministry, an agency, a regulation, a form. You take the decision away from the people who actually know, the doctor, the teacher, the founder, the mayor, the family, and hand it to people who see everything from above. Except from above, you see nothing. Hayek showed it in 1945: useful knowledge is dispersed, local, tacit. No bureau can aggregate it. The center decides blind.
Finally, corruption. Not the envelope-under-the-table kind. A systemic corruption, far deeper. When the system fails, it never questions itself. Every failure becomes proof it needed more resources. Hospitals struggling? More budget, more layers. Schools falling behind? Another reform, run from even higher up. Housing shortage? More rules, more subsidies, which push prices up. Failure feeds the machine that produced it.
And the machine changes its nature. It stops rewarding those who create value and starts rewarding those who capture it. The grant-application experts, the rents, the protected statuses, the lobbies. The people who decide never pay for their mistakes. Taleb calls it the absence of skin in the game. I call it the engine of decline.
Look at France. Public spending at 57% of GDP, versus 49.5% on average in the EU. 43.6% of GDP taken in mandatory levies. Over €3.5 trillion in debt. And yet: hospitals at the breaking point, schools sliding, housing out of reach, and a country where nobody is happy. Not the people paying, not the people receiving.
The paradox is complete: the more you spend, the more abandoned people feel. Because the money doesn't go to the service. It goes to the structure.
Now connect the dots. Social anger? A promise that could never be kept. Brain drain? A country that punishes risk-takers. Collapse of trust in institutions? Institutions that promise everything and own nothing. Dependency? A system that needs you to need it.
And globalism is the exact same mechanism at planetary scale. Not free trade, which is the opposite: millions of people exchanging without anyone's permission. I mean global governance. Same pure intention: peace, climate, safety. Same centralization: Brussels, Davos, supranational agencies, rules written thousands of miles from the people who live under them. Same corruption: every crisis becomes a reason to move more power up and further away from any voter. The national planner failed, so we built a bigger planner. One that's even blinder, and even harder to fire.
Someone will say: "What about Sweden?" Exactly. Sweden nearly hit the wall in the early 90s, with public spending close to 70% of GDP. It got out by decentralizing: school vouchers, pension reform, competition inside public services. The Nordic model people sell you is a model that had the courage to reform itself.
The worst enemy of freedom has never been the villain. It's the nice guy with a plan.
The answer isn't to tear everything down. It's to give back. Give decisions back to the people closest to the ground. Give responsibility back to those who act. Give the right to fail back to those who build, and the duty to answer for results to those who spend.
Subsidiarity over centralization. The builder over the planner.
The 20th century believed the common good could be decreed from above. The 21st will rediscover that it's built from below.

Poland built a thriving economy. They kept their streets safe. They stocked their treasury with enough physical gold to surpass the reserves of the European Central Bank. That should tell you everything you need to know about the turmoil that's happening in Poland right now.
The EU needs Poland’s wealth to bail out its own failing system, and by pulling Poland under its thumb, they get a slice of both its gold and its independence. So of course the pro-globalists in Poland are fueling chaos.
And look at how they're doing it: by creating unrest both on the streets and in the government, all while insisting that the real goal is "restoring the rule of law."
That's the exact same plan that has been leaked from the DSA right here at home. They want to put theirs into effect after the elections.
Wake up.

Many thanks, Mr. McIntyre. While, like most of your posts, this is rather interesting, I may be missing the point. My claim that Jews are indigenous to the region should not be interpreted to mean that present-day "Palestinians" are not. And it is no great revelation that Ashkenazi Jews would have more mixed ancestry than, say, Mizrahi Jews, Sephardic Jews, Arab Israelis, or "Palestinian" Christians and Muslims. It stands to reason that they would all have substantial genetic ancestry tracing back to the Bronze Age and earlier.
All these groups (including, I suspect, although perhaps to a lesser degree, Ashkenazi Jews) descended partly from inhabitants of the region. The relevant fact is that the undisputed historical record documents Jews living there at least centuries before the earliest surviving historical reference to Arabs, millennia before the advent of Christianity and Islam, and long before the emergence of the modern "Palestinian" national identity.
have you read any of the remarkable studies of ancient DNA - a novel field in past 15 or so years. You'd probably find it fascinating. Below are figures from two relevant studies.
On the left is a figure from Lavridis et al (Nature 2014 nature.com/articles/nature13… ) showing a principal components diagram showing "2,345 present-day humans from 203 populations [from Europe and west Asia] genotyped at 594,924 autosomal single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs)". This diagram has become canonical.
I've annotated the diagram with arrows pointing to the points representing Palestinians and Ashkenazi Jews. The Palestinians are located in the "cline" at right going from top middle to bottom right, while Ashkenazis are located in the middle near Italians and Greeks.
On the right is a diagram from Agramat-Tamir et al, including David Reich, cell.com/cell/fulltext/S0092…) in which the points from the Lavridis 2014 diagram can be seen in background as light gray - you should be able to see the match to the points on the left. The foreground includes ancient DNA samples from Bronze Age and Iron Age Israel. Of particular interest are the Iron Age samples (Biblical period) from Megiddo and Tell Abel Beth Maacah. These are virtually indistinguishable from modern Palestinian Christian, Lebanese Christian and Palestinian Muslim DNA.
According to their DNA, the "Palestinians" are not Arab invaders, but the descendants of the occupants of Israel and Judah in Biblical times. Original Judahites, so to speak.

Zia Faruqui— and my longtime followers are familiar with his name—is a magistrate judge. Not appointed by the president, not confirmed by the Senate.
He signed hundreds of J6 arrest warrants including on the unlawful 1512c2 charge. He refused to release Couy Griffin, accused of 2 misdemeanors, from custody.
Last year, he actually apologized to a guy accused of pointing lasers at Secret Service agents and the president’s helicopter after he was charged.
Once again - the abject failure of Congressional Republicans to hold ANY of these judges accountable continues to reverberate in the hopelessly corrupt, unaccountable DC courthouse.
Breaking: Federal judge dismisses—and lambastes—the DOJ false statements case against two former FBI officials. Calls it “weaponization.”
Judge Faruqui—a former federal prosecutor himself—said the government made a number of errors in their "slapdash job" of a case. He said there was no evidence presented before the court that the FBI agents' statements were knowingly false or material. He said the government failed to establish a motive for why the agents would make false statements.
He told prosecutors it was "incredibly unfair" that the DOJ sent into court with such a weak case. "This does not feel like an investigation," Faruqui said. "It feels like a broken one-wish willow obsession."
He added that he was "deeply troubled by what has happened here in this case," and that what happened "cannot be described as anything other than weaponization."
"It was a rush to charge, and that was a mistake," Faruqui said of the case.

(The post is a publicly-available inquiry to @jordangreennc of “RawStory dot com” in response to an opinion piece recently published by Mr. Green on such platform.)
Hello Mr. Green:
My name is Tom Anderson, and I am better known under my pseudonym “Cynical Publius” on X.
I am writing with regards to the recent story published on “RawStory” under your byline, entitled “'Specter of menace': Pentagon-tied influencers vent of 'civil war' threat after midterms.”
More specifically, I am working on an investigative article regarding the penchant of so-called “journalists” such as you to mislead their readers, and given the monstrous inaccuracies and omissions in your recent article, your tale is something of significant interest to my readers.
With the above in mind, I have several questions I am hoping you will see fit to answer at your earliest opportunity:
1. In your recent RawStory article, you identified the fact that Ms. Jennica Pounds (“Data Republican” on X) has revealed a wide-ranging number of videos and audio tapes of former USAID and U.S. military employees plotting the creation of a “crisis of legitimacy” regarding President Trump and the upcoming midterm election. I myself published a widely-read article on X explaining how the tactics discussed on these tapes conform to the practices of “Color Revolutions” created by the U.S, government in Ukraine, Serbia, Georgia and other nations in the former Soviet bloc and former Yugoslavia. Your “article” criticized the motivations of me, Ms. Pounds and others in exposing such plot, while never once addressing the substance of such plot as revealed in the “Democracy Files” (as defined by Ms. Pounds) and my recent article entitled "The Color Revolution in Our Midst." Do you consider it an ethical journalistic practice to wholly ignore the findings of whistleblowers while engaging in character assassination of such whistleblowers?
2. In your X post announcing your RawStory “article,” you described me and others reporting on the Color Revolution plot as being members of a “Pentagon troll farm.” Given that it is a well-established fact of public record that neither me nor any of the other people you identified in your article publicly write or have ever publicly written at the behest or payment of the Pentagon, do you consider such libelous accusations to be an acceptable journalistic practice?
3. How did you obtain my personal phone number and the personal phone numbers/emails of the other persons referenced in your “article”? Did you illegally obtain such information in violation of the Privacy Act of 1974, and/or did you obtain such information from other “journalists,” such as Dan Lamothe of the Washington Post, who may have initially obtained such information illegally in violation of said Privacy Act?
4. In your “article,” you relied on a source from the Southern Poverty Law Center (“SPLC”) to attempt to discredit me and the other subjects of your article. As you solicited the SPLC’s opinion, did you first consider that the SPLC is currently the subject of a Department of Justice investigation regarding the SPLC’s alleged wire fraud and conspiracy to commit money laundering? Did you consider the fact that the SPLC has allegedly funded the Ku Klux Klan as part of a fund-raising effort? Did these facts give you any pause whatsoever before you solicited or published the SPLC’s opinion?
5. The Color Revolutionaries documented in the Democracy Files speak openly and often of coordinating with Democrat governors to overthrow the Constitutionally-elected President of the United State of America. Did the seditionist nature of this on-the-record plot cause you any concern of any kind?
6. Have either you or RawStory received any cash or other consideration, directly or indirectly, from any of the NGOs or persons identified in the Democracy Files?
7. Have you been in direct contact with any of the persons or NGOs identified in the Democracy Files?
Thank you in advance for your answers to these questions. My readers have significant concerns as to the integrity of “journalists” like you who practice under the protective umbrella of the Democrat/Media Complex while spreading falsehoods, half-truths and virulently false innuendo. You answers will hopefully shed light on this important issue.
Please respond to these questions no later than 10 a.m. Eastern, November 1, 2026.
Best regards,
Tom Anderson
