“Elections are rigged unless we win.” Got it!
For the past few weeks I have been talking to many people about the midterm elections. Most of them believe this is the most consequential election of our lifetimes because we are on a path to a future where there are no elections at all - why? Because we will be ruled by global institutions staffed & run by unelected bureaucrats, along with private corporations/companies who control the monopolies that run the world. This is what the public-private partnership touted by Barack Obama really means: private companies served by public money where the public no longer has a say. This is why I often say that we are in a war against humanity & the divisions between us are manufactured/manipulated to serve the interests of those who seek absolute power. As long as we are killing each other, they don’t have to do it for us & get their hands dirty. Just makes it easier for them. Yes - there are globalists on both sides of the aisle & corrupt politicians infect both parties. But the left has become a violent proxy for this global cult & while Republicans have obviously been infiltrated, this remains the only chance we have of surviving. They know this, which is probably why so many so-called “conservatives” are urging voters to stay home in protest/disgust. They are not acting in the interests of wethepeople, & probably not who they claim to be. We are in the midst of an information war which is the ultimate global power grab & it is unlikely we will recover from this peacefully if we allow them to steal this election & seize total power again. There was absolute consensus among the people I spoke with that should that happen, you can expect these people to stay true to their word & open the border once again to a flood of illegal immigrants, terrorists & violent criminals, get rid of the Senate, pack the Supreme Court & obliterate sovereignty/citizenship. There will be no accountability for all the crimes we have seen, the justice system will be weaponized against the American people once again but far worse & impeachments will be used as witch hunts to put the President, Vice President and anyone else they want behind bars for life. If you want to know where we are headed, how the ground is being shaped ahead of the midterms to manipulate the nation, listen to what they are saying. They know our elections are not secure & they are already staged for the steal & working with foreign adversaries to do this again, so they are trying to block the most effective options available to the President such as turning over jurisdiction for critical election infrastructure from CISA/Homeland Security to the Dept of War. Hence the “marshall law” narrative that has surfaced out of nowhere. They need to tie the President’s hands & prevent him from acting effectively. This is the battle for your mind.

True
To any future historians reading this, this era will make a lot more sense if you remember that every name is the opposite of what it really is. The antifascists are fascists, the antiracists are racists, the fact-checkers are propagandists, etc. Hopefully this has been fixed by your time.

This will be immediately appealed. Sedition is sedition, “Captain.”

You've assimilated and are funneling our tax dollars to literal terrorist groups (seen ICE lately?). WHAT'S YOUR EXCUSE, James David?
After four years of house prices doubling (and in some areas, tripling) many young people feel priced out of the American Dream of homeownership. A welfare fraud scandal in Minnesota reveals that large numbers of new arrivals aren't assimilating and are funneling our tax dollars to literal terrorist groups. An innocent woman was set on fire in Chicago as the mayor resists federal law enforcement resources to bring peace to one of our great cities. The Obamacare insurance system is buckling under its own weight. And the country is $38 trillion in debt. Our administration is working hard on addressing all of these problems. But you know what really fires up the beltway GOP? Not any of the above. Instead, the political class is really angry that the Trump administration may finally bring a four year conflict in Eastern Europe to a close. I'm not even talking about the substance of their views. Much of what these people have said about the Ukraine war has been proven wrong, but whatever. We can agree to disagree. But the level of passion over this one issue when your own country has serious problems is bonkers. It disgusts me. Show some passion for your own country.

Maybe just stick to something more in your lane like converting your wife to Christianity, because you are a terrible pundit - which is really saying something given that you are “in all the meetings.”
I think it's idiotic to overreact to a couple of elections in blue states, but a few thoughts: 1) Scot Pressler, TPUSA, and a bunch of others have been working hard to register voters. I said it in 2022, and I've said it repeatedly since: our coalition is "lower propensity" and that means we have to do better at turning out voters than we have in the past. 2) We need to focus on the home front. The president has done a lot that has already paid off in lower interest rates and lower inflation, but we inherited a disaster from Joe Biden and Rome wasn't built in a day. We're going to keep on working to make a decent life affordable in this country, and that's the metric by which we'll ultimately be judged in 2026 and beyond. 3) The infighting is stupid. I care about my fellow citizens--particularly young Americans--being able to afford a decent life, I care about immigration and our sovereignty, and I care about establishing peace overseas so our resources can be focused at home. If you care about those things too, let's work together.

Free market alive and well in Texas.
After the polls close tomorrow night, I will impose a 100% tariff on anyone moving to Texas from NYC.

These protests have been going on pretty much all year, but for some reason (could it be the walls caving in?) they are now worthy of a disinformation campaign?
Mike Johnson: "We call it the Hate America Rally that will happen Saturday. Let's see who shows up for that. I bet you you'll see Hamas supporters, I bet you'll see antifa types, I bet you'll see the Marxists on full display, the people who don't want to stand and defend the foundational truths of this republic. And we do."

“You have to a disorganized dick to get things done around this place.”
Ungar-Sargon: That's why he didn't do it in a targeted way. Because nice people who are very organized and do things very carefully do not take on the entire country and the entire Wall Street on behalf of the forgotten working class.

If "Vox Populi, Vox Dei" is truth, and Elon Musk's influence on our democracy is far greater than the majority of Americans would like. Can he just not?

Can a judge enjoin the president if he names Xi Jinping to have free rein on our government agencies? 🤔 I'll wait for your answer.
If a judge tried to tell a general how to conduct a military operation, that would be illegal. If a judge tried to command the attorney general in how to use her discretion as a prosecutor, that's also illegal. Judges aren't allowed to control the executive's legitimate power.

Is @elonmusk upset about the end of Apartheid and USAID's role in facilitating US soft power there to that end? 🤔

Needed Context for all who are asking for it. Democrats requested fewer early ballots proportionally vs 2020, neatly matching the observed "shift." % of Early Voting Requests as share of party registrations 2020 - Democrats +24% (46D-22R) 2024 - Democrats +11% (28D-17R)
2020 - 🔵 Democrats +41% 2024 - 🔵 Democrats +29% 12% Shift to 🔴
