For @GrimmGreen we have the vape movie script.
Title: Smoke and Shadows
Synopsis:
Jack Carver, a grizzled FDA investigator with a history of battling his own addictions, is haunted by the loss of his mother to lung cancer after a lifetime of smoking. Driven by her memory, Jack stumbles upon a chilling conspiracy within the FDA: the agency is suppressing evidence that vaping is significantly less harmful than tobacco, all to protect Big Tobaccoβs profits. As he digs deeper, Jack uncovers a web of corruption orchestrated by Victor Lang, a charismatic yet ruthless FDA official. Lang, a gay man with a polished public persona, has secretly colluded with tobacco giants, leveraging his influence to bury scientific studies proving flavored vapes help smokers quit. His actions have shuttered thousands of small vaping businesses nationwide, forcing countless smokers back to deadly cigarettes.
Jackβs investigation reveals Langβs revolving-door ties to Big Tobacco, with evidence that he and other FDA leaders are securing lucrative jobs in the industry after enforcing draconian vaping regulations. As Jack races to expose the truth, he faces threats, betrayal, and attempts to discredit his past struggles with addiction. Undeterred, he gathers damning evidenceβinternal memos, whistleblower testimonies, and hidden studiesβshowing Langβs deliberate sabotage of public health for personal gain.
The stakes escalate when Jackβs findings reach the desk of President Elena Torres, a principled leader who recognizes the FDAβs corruption as a betrayal of the American people. Moved by Jackβs evidence and the human cost of the coverup, Torres takes bold action. In a climactic move, she signs an executive order overturning the FDAβs vaping bans, restoring thousands of businesses, and mandating transparency in tobacco regulation. The order not only saves countless lives by promoting vaping as a harm-reduction tool but also dismantles Langβs empire, leading to his arrest and the unraveling of Big Tobaccoβs grip on the FDA.
Smoke and Shadows is a pulse-pounding thriller about one manβs fight against a corrupt system, the power of redemption, and a presidentβs courage to right a deadly wrong, proving that truth can cut through even the thickest clouds of deception.
It's time for the Republicans to finally dump the campaign consultants and take the @spencerpratt 101 class on how it should be done. Same shit every election. Greatful to live in Florida @ByronDonalds @GovRonDeSantis

A little talked about story this election cycle is how many Texans where angered by the THC ban pushed by Dan Patrick it will be interesting to see what happens in the future.

All roads for the Dems winning Texas all go back to @DanPatrick and his THC ban. Governor, lieutenant governor, etc... can't say we didn't warn you.

This image will forever go down in the history books as the day that Lt. Gov Dan Patrick set into motion a chain of events that would eventually lead to his downfall and cost him the most powerful seat in the state
And it all started by throwing a bag of our Cereal Bites πππ

Goodbye @DanPatrick ππ
Vikki Goodwin declared victory over Lt. Gov. Dan Patrick on Tuesday to become the first Democratic lieutenant governor of Texas in 27 years, handedly dismissing an architect of the modern Texas Republican Party who pushed the state further right in his nearly two decades in public office. bit.ly/4Af2TSg

We're in a new era of communication, and only one side seems to be living in it. The old guard consultant class is about to be relegated to the dustbin of history.
If you think that high prices lost the election for the right, you don't understand marketing. Humans have no problem paying a premium for a good quality brand. Notice the word "brand", not "product". Are Nikes better than New Balance? Nope. But the brand is better. And notice what happened when they tinkered with the brand and screwed their core narrative? Nike stock fell through the basement. Did the product change? Nope. The brand did.
It's not the product, it's the brand. Results don't sell the product, the storytelling does. Will these newly-elected commies lower prices? Of course not. Are they gonna get you free healthcare? No, your insurance is gonna get even worse, just like it did the last time they tried socialized medicine. They're not going to do anything they've sold you, but...like Saul Goodman said: if you're committed enough, you can make any story work.
The committed storytelling of a couple insane podcasters was enough to fracture an entire political coalition from their own side in less than 2 years...they have zero power, zero credibility, they've never actually governed anything nor produced any results, but...they're good storytellers, and that's all that matters. Are they telling a good story? No, it's atrocious, but they're telling their atrocious story effectively and compellingly.
It is 100% true that everything's too damn expensive, and we all know that inflated prices are always sticky. Does anyone know that it's entirely the result of shutting down the global economy over the flu and (both naive republicans and democrats) printing infinity dollars for several years? Nope...because nobody has effectively told that story, and it's an unsexy story to tell. "Free stuff!" is a VERY easy story to tell, and when everyone's gotta take out a second mortgage just to pay their insurance premiums, "free healthcare" is an unbeatable story. It doesn't matter that "free healthcare" doesn't exist and socialized medicine is a terrible product...it's not the product, it's the brand. And "FREE!" is a great brand.
You can't get mad at people for having the financial literacy of a 9 year old. I mean, you can, but they outnumber you a million to one, so it's not going to be productive. You need to figure out how to make an unsexy story sexy, or else the "free stuff!" crowd is going to eat your lunch every time. If you give people a choice between earning a six pack on a treadmill or taking Ozempic, they're gonna choose Ozempic...they don't care about the side effects. If you give people a choice between fiscal discipline or free stuff...guess what they'll pick? They don't care about the side effects.
With projected growth of 5%, the economy right now is stronger than it's been in generations. Is that the story you hear? Nope. Is that the vibe you feel? Absolutely not, especially when every time you fill up your gas tank, it feels like a diesel enema.
It's not the product, it's the brand. A great product can fall into oblivion with bad messaging...a single bad review from one effective storyteller can tank a restaurant. The "influencer economy" is lucrative for a reason; everybody inherently understands the importance of effective storytelling...except the right. Zohran Mamdani gets it...he has an army of influencers on staff. In a perfect metaphor of this transitional phase of old guard vs new wave political messaging, Zohran nuked the Vice President into oblivion with maybe the biggest ratio in the history of the internet. By simply posting the subway assistant meme, Mamdani got 2 MILLION likes, quoting a post from the VP that had only 10K likes. If you're reading that sentence thinking "this is fucking ridiculous, you're talking about social media likes as political analysis now?"...you are the problem.
Yes, this stuff matters. Rizz matters. The President did a masterful job of this kind of retail politics in his historic 2024 campaign...you can be angry that this is what politics has been reduced to, but you can either adapt or die.
"No the problem is, you didn't deliver enough for the American people!" Are you a moron? Since when does anybody care about that? What have democrats delivered for Californians in the last 20 years? Unmitigated wildfires, homeless drug zombies everywhere, roads that look like Fallujah in 2004...people don't care about results. They think they care about results. That want you to believe they care about results, just as Nike wants you to believe their shoes are better than New Balance...but at the end of the day, all people really care about is the swoosh.
Adapt or die.
Guys, I hate to break it to you, but most political advisors are so bafflingly incompetent, it would make your head spin. All the talented communicators go work in Hollywood or at Saatchi and Saatchi, and these political bros never tap these agencies for help...I've connected several campaigns with literally the best marketing geniuses in the game, got them discounted rates, even...and they just never even bothered calling. It truly feels like a lot of consultants and candidates just want to lose.
You ever wonder how my ads went so massively viral, but there's not been a single candidate who's come close to it? It's their dumbass advisors. I didn't go with any political advisors, and they were SO mad about it. I partnered with a filmmaker and marketing wizard, instead of political grifters. Why? Because I wanted our messaging to be effective. Political ads suck. Nobody watches them. I wanted people to want to watch my ads. The fact that nobody else understands this is...I honestly don't know how to explain it, other than they want to lose.
There are a bunch of candidates who love it when their party loses power. It takes all the heat off them, because then they can't be expected to pass legislation when they're in the minority, plus they can fundraise way better off of the rage when the opposition is running roughshod over the country. Baffling to watch.

Talarico and the entire Texas democratic ticket ran front and center on cannabis and the hemp ban and it paid off big time. I still cannot believe that Texas Republicans went full prohibition to take products out of consumers hands right before a major election.
If @KenPaxtonTX loses Texas... You can blame him for allowing @DanPatrick to ban THC. If you go back and track polling, literally the day after the ban his numbers tanked. Can't say you were not warned or you could have done something to reverse it.

WOW π¨ The Somali βtranslatorβ in Lewiston, Maine caught on security camera seeming to direct Somali on how to vote is not only is a former minister of finance in Somalia, but HE ALSO RUNS MULTIPLE WIRE COMPANIES that send money back to Somalia
His name is Hussein Hirsi Ahmed, the specific money transmitters tied to an address he controls by Ahmed Management LLC on Lisbon Street in Lewiston includes:
- Ramad Pay Inc
- Hodan Global Money Services, Inc.
- CheckFreePay Corporation
- Dandelion Payments, Inc.
- Western Union Financial Services, Inc
The βwire companiesβ tied to Hussein Hirsi Ahmed in Lewiston are licensed money-transfer/remittance businesses whose main function is sending money from the US to Somalia and other parts of East Africa
So just so everyone is crystal clear
A former finance minister in Somalia is in Maine seemingly directing Somali on how to vote. A state with large scale fraud by Somalis stealing our tax money and sending it back to Somalia
And again, you have a guy who owns the wire companies that send the money back to Somalia in our American election center telling them how to vote
Whatβs being allowed to happen in America should make you beyond furious
