They’re actors.
As John Le Carré wrote in The Little Drummer Girl “Dash it all, she’s an actress! Don’t take her so seriously. Actors don’t have opinions my dear chap, still less do actresses. They have moods. Fans. Poses. Twenty-four hour passions. There’s a lot wrong with the world, dammit. Actors are absolute suckers for dramatic solutions. For all I know by the time you get her out of there she’ll be born again. Actors are pursued by an absolute horror of unreality. On stage they acted out all the agony of men and off stage were hollow vessels waiting to be filled… their vulnerability, and their habit of disguising these weaknesses with tough-sounding and extreme causes borrowed from the adult world.”

Sayed is, at minimum, terrorist-adjacent.
Is this you @AbdulElSayed in Colombia in 2022? It’s a private retreat including Intuitive Solutions, the fundraising and contracting organization for at least five credibly accused Muslim Brotherhood offshoots and other terror-affiliates. Is that you grinning in a photo with the CEO of ICNA Relief, which has been criticized for its connections to Islamic terror groups?

The reason he did this.
“Trump… Please bring my son back to me. I am begging you for mercy.” And what Trump did when he heard those words… may bring tears to your eyes.
Her name was Malphine. She was 95 years old. A mother who had spent years waiting. Hoping. Praying. And one day… she finally got the chance to meet Trump. And stood before him. With all the strength she had left. And spoke the only words in her heart. Please. Bring my son home.
And Trump looked at this 95-year-old mother. Held her hands. And gave her a promise. I will bring your son home.
And Malphine held on to that promise. The way only a mother of 95 can hold on to something. When hope is all she has left.
Days went by. Weeks went by. And then one morning… the news finally arrived. Her son Marc was coming home. After years away. After years inside a foreign prison. After years of a mother waking up every single day, wondering whether she would ever get to hold her child again.
He stepped off that plane. And returned home. And when Marc’s feet finally touched American soil… Trump was there. In person. To welcome him. To embrace him. To look him in the eyes and say… welcome home. America has not forgotten you.
And in that single embrace…
Trump showed the world something that no speech and no rally could ever truly express. That America cares about its people. Wholeheartedly. Unconditionally. And never gives up fighting for them.
And today… I sat thinking about that story. And remembered every harsh word I had ever spoken about this man. Every judgment. Every doubt. Every moment I chose to look away. And I felt something I can hardly describe. Deep shame.
Because Malphine trusted Trump at 95 years old. With all the hope she had left. And he helped bring her son home.
Today… this is the side of Trump that so many people may never take the time to see.
Not the Trump in the headlines. Not the Trump on the rally stage. Just a man. Who listened to a 95-year-old mother pleading for her son. Worked to help answer her prayers. And personally showed up to welcome him home.
If this story touched your heart today… let God and every American reading this feel your .
And tell me honestly, in your own words — after reading this… can you still speak badly about President Trump? Because I truly find it difficult to do so. Not anymore. Not after hearing this story.
There’s the truth about him, and then there’s his campaign.

He cannot articulate his point because he does not believe in what he’s saying.
The truth is, he is a radical leftist who hates law enforcement and wants to defund the police.

"Without providing evidence?"
El-Sayed literally signed a letter in 2012 in support of the Muslim Brotherhood in Egypt. His campaign refuses to explain it.
His sister said his family was MB. His father in law, who is a founding member of ISNA -- an offshoot of the MB -- donated hundreds of thousands to his campaign. There is not a single anti-MB measure he supports.
He says about Islamic terrorists trying to murder Jewish kindergarteners, "Hurt people hurt people," and equates Dearborn-based terrorists trying to kill schoolkids with the IDF's targeted killing of Hezbollah members.
He was caught on tape during this campaign saying he wouldn't say anything about Ayatollah Khamenei's death because too many of his constituents were upset about it.
He campaigns with Hasan Piker, who says Hamas is better than Israel and speaks warmly of Hezbollah.
There is no more thoroughly sourced claim in politics than that El-Sayed is sympathetic to radical Islam and connected to Islamic extremists.

Re the East Potomac Golf Course -- the complaint filed by the Plaintiffs goes on at some length about how it is a historic design by an early renown golf course architect named Walter Travis.
Travis was from Australia, moved and lived in the U.S., but traveled to Great Britain where he was captivated by the British style of course design.
Remember -- this is about preserving the course that Travis designed, and the plaintiffs and Judge Reyes are having a fit over the removal of trees from the course.
Quoting Walter Travis:
"In a later article, Travis presented his ideas for the design of a "first class" golf course. In this article, Travis emphasized the importance of soil that provides natural drainage, land that is "more or less undulating—neither flat nor hilly ... but a judicious blending of the two extremes" and "trees of any kind are non-existent—as they should be."
LMAO -- you can't make this stuff up.

🚨🚨THE DEMOCRACY FILES, PART 2: WHEN AND HOW TO DECLARE THE FEDERAL GOVERNMENT ILLEGITIMATE 🚨
Some questioned whether a group of 200 ex-USAID officials could actually pull off their ambitions to rewrite the Constitution.
Here, they describe exactly how it works. They aren't working alone.
The videos all come from Renew to Thrive (R2T) group and associates. Danielle Reiff and Paul Zeitz play key roles within R2T.
R2T sits inside a much, much larger umbrella called United Democracy Alliance (UDA), which is an extremely hush-hush control plane of leaders from major "blocking" NGOs such as 50501 and Indivisible fulfilling various functions. UDA decides when protests get deployed, timelines, how to respond, all that.
R2T's role within UDA is concerned with "the day after tomorrow" - in other words, their function is to conceive what a rewritten American government will look like after the rest of UDA fulfills its purpose. As will be shown, Erica Chenoworth is credited with conceiving UDA in the first place under the Horizons "Big Tent" initiative.
Note here that National Security Leaders for America (NSL4A) is credited for operationalizing UDA. NSL4A is a group of 1,600 ex-military, intelligence, and diplomatic officials. They are led by Rear Admiral Michael E. Smith (Ret). NSL4A also played a key role in the "illegal orders" messaging which targeted Pete Hegseth. Zeitz is also a member of NSL4A.
It must be emphasized that the choice of a military-oriented organization to coordinate NGOs across domestic protests is an interesting one all in itself - especially in an umbrella conceived by a regime change expert like Chenoworth.
You will have a hard time finding any mentions of UDA in the public. They are extremely hush-hush and selective who they talk to.
Mike Smith himself makes a personal appearance in other calls, coordinating Insurrection Act exercises and roleplaying with R2G as one of the participants.
As the audio transcript shows, they have outlined a sequence of "redlines" in which case the federal government should be declared illegitimate. Invoking the Insurrection Act against "peaceful" protesters is one of the most discussed redlines. I will post the illegitimate criteria below, but basically, almost any effective pushback against NGOs is a measure of illegitimacy according to them.
Important to understand:
The audio shows they shopped this idea around governors, but the reality is that governors do not have to explicitly sign on to the pact to play their role in the coup. All they have to do is refuse troops in their state and let UDA / R2G do the work of dissolving the federal government.

“In about a year and a half, the federal workforce shrank by more than a tenth, while targeted grants and contracts declined as well. The government kept functioning much as before. One might call that a success.”
DOGE worked. Most importantly, the civil service is 12% smaller than it was in Jan 2025.

Cavemen Issues Dire Warning That The Wheel Is Going To Eliminate Countless Jobs

I've seen this headlines more than a few times in the last 24hrs. I've seen cheering that somehow it's an Iranian victory that humbled America.
Let's put things in perspective. Because I'm an airman, and I ain't humbled yet.
Out of 81 aircraft lost or damaged, 49 are unmanned - 60.5%.
21 aircraft were lost or damaged on the ground - 25.9%
Out of manned aircraft, 1x F-15E, 1x A-10, 1x AH-64 destroyed due to enemy fire - 3.7%.
Great numbers for headlines, but lies, damned lies, and statistics... the official tally was over 10,200 sorties directly engaging in OEF over 38 days. That would represent an overall campaign attrition rate of: 00.79%.
And that's without knowing which tails were only damaged, repaired, and got back into the fight!
Additionally, while those are the official numbers, a CENTCOM Air Tasking Order numbers in the hundreds (if not thousands) of lines a day. So it's reasonable to believe that overall campaign attrition rate is lower.
Finally, it's an apples-to-oranges comparison, but it must be recalled that FY26 loss of 50 aircraft involved in Class A mishaps. These are aircraft lost or damaged without a shot being fired. Aviation is inherently dangerous, afterall.
Now, I have a vested interest in not seeing my Air Force destroyed. And I've lost too many fellow airmen over the years to ever care to see one more loss.
But these headlines must be seen with a greater perspective! And less political bias.
Otherwise, we do injustice to my aviators and support personnel across the Joint Force who threw iron into the air and completely smashed the IRIAF within a narrow window.

I have been pretty critical of Trump on Iran, but this is a shamefully dishonest mischaracterization of what he said, which is that he does not want that to happen, and that he thinks that higher gas prices are worth it to ensure that it doesn't. nitter.gq/HQNewsNow/status/21072…
