This is the most painful waiting period ever. Any chance you could move me to the front of the list @elonmusk? 😂

Democrats in California passed a law making it illegal to inspect ballots. Which, many on this site assure me, is what you do when you’re not stealing elections.

The E. Jean Carroll case against President Trump is one of the strangest civil cases in American history. The foundational problem is this: Carroll could not identify when the alleged incident occurred — not even the year with any precision. That should have killed the case as dead as a skunk on the road right there. Without a temporal anchor, no defendant — regardless of guilt or innocence — can mount an alibi defense. Trump, who has maintained detailed calendars and staff records for decades, was denied the most basic tool of self-defense: the ability to establish where he was. That is not a technicality. It is a due process violation at the constitutional level. Then Carroll produced the one piece of physical evidence she claimed corroborated her account — the dress she wore during the alleged incident. It was subsequently established that the dress was designed after the incident could have occurred. The sole corroborating evidence falsified her timeline. The case proceeded anyway. The resulting verdict was then weaponized in a defamation suit — where Trump was held liable for denying the allegation, while being procedurally barred from defending against it, because it was already "proven" in another court, regardless how flawed the procedure was. He was punished, in effect, for asserting his own innocence. Compounding everything: coordinated professional and physical threats so thoroughly intimidated the legal community that attorneys refused these cases regardless of available fees. When you systematically destroy a defendant's ability to retain counsel of choice, you forfeit the right to a legitimate verdict. An allegation is not evidence. Process without substance is not law. And a verdict produced under these conditions carries no legitimate authority — whatever its formal status. Not only is it the right move to investigate Carroll, but every other person involved as well. Trump is owed serious damages here, and there may be a few people who belong in prison for their roles in the case.

Spirit Airlines died tonight at the hands of the socialist crusader, Elizabeth Warren She must be so proud to add another casket to her achievements. Tonight at 3am, Spirit turns off the lights. 14,000 jobs gone. 30 smaller airports lose service. JetBlue offered $3.8 BILLION in cash to buy Spirit in 2022. Shareholders, flight attendants union, literally everyone voted yes. The combined company would have held 9% of the US market against a Big 4 that already owned 80%. For anyone who understands numbers: 9% isn’t a monopoly against 80%. Warren said no. She wrote letters. She pressured Buttigieg. Biden’s DOJ sued. A federal judge killed the deal in January 2024. Her argument: the merger would cost consumers $1 billion a year. Now look at her collateral damage she dusts under the rug. 510 pilots gone in the months after. 1,800 flight attendants furloughed in December. 14,000 jobs in 2023. 7,500 last week. Zero tonight. And that’s just the people in Spirit uniforms. Catering goes. Fuel guys go. Baggage crews, gate agents, airport coffee shops, hotels and rental cars in 70 cities Spirit flew to. Every airline job carries 3 more on its back. 40,000 people out of work because of one woman’s moronic crusade against the market. And the math ain’t mathing. Spirit abandoned 90 routes during the death spiral. Fares on those routes are up 14% on average. Oakland to Newark: $135 to $288. Fort Myers to San Juan: $92 to $219. Kansas City to Newark up 66%. That’s reality. Not some BS number from a “study.” So @SenWarren tell me how this saves the consumer money? Cheap carriers in a market drop fares 21% across the board. Southwest did this in the 90s and saved Americans $68 BILLION over 20 years. Warren killed it. That’s what moronic politicians led by socialism do. Then with her own blind arrogance, she tweeted Spirit’s collapse is “a Biden win for flyers.” A win. 14,000 people are reading termination letters tonight. And she’s taking credit. This is socialism in 2026. A senator who’s never made payroll thinks she knows how to run a market better than the people who own and work in the company. She saved you a billion on imaginary paper. She cost you ten times that in real life. She didn’t protect consumers from anything. 14,000 will go from working to welfare. She will make sure to blame billionaires, hardworking tax payers, AI, capitalism and whatever monster they will make up tomorrow hiding under your bed. Higher taxes. Fewer jobs. More expensive everything. She called it a win. I hope you enjoy winning.

The year is 1950. Your doctor lights a cigarette and tells you smoking is fine. He read it in a study. He is telling the truth about having read it. He does not know, or is not saying, that the study was funded by the tobacco industry. The year is 1958. Your doctor tells you to eat less fat. The evidence is contested. The contestation is not in the public messaging. The food industry has been helpful in clarifying which findings deserve attention. Some researchers who published contradictory data have been quietly defunded. Ancel Keys is on the cover of Time magazine. The year is 1962. Your doctor prescribes thalidomide to your pregnant wife for morning sickness. It has been approved. The FDA gave it the green light in Europe. Twelve thousand children will be born with severe limb malformations before anyone in an official capacity acknowledges the problem. The families are told the drug was safe. The drug was approved. Both of these things remain true. The year is 1972. Your doctor prescribes Valium. Britain is in the grip of a benzodiazepine wave that will last two decades. The dependency risk is known internally. It is not shared. Your doctor is not lying to you. He was not told either. The year is 1999. Your doctor prescribes Vioxx for your arthritis. It is newer than ibuprofen, well-tolerated, and Merck has a study showing it works. Merck also has internal data suggesting it roughly doubles the risk of heart attack. This data will not reach your doctor for four more years. Fifty thousand people are estimated to have died in the interim. Merck eventually settles for 4.85 billion dollars. No criminal charges are brought. The year is 2002. Your doctor prescribes OxyContin. Purdue Pharma trained its sales representatives to tell doctors the addiction risk was less than one percent. That figure came from a letter, not a study. The letter was about patients with terminal cancer on short-term doses in hospital settings. Your doctor is a GP with a patient who has a bad back. Nobody draws a distinction. Nobody is required to. The year is 2008. Your doctor checks your cholesterol. Your LDL is elevated. You are prescribed a statin. Nobody mentions that the number needed to treat for primary prevention is approximately 250. Nobody mentions that the muscle deterioration you'll notice over the next two years is listed as a rare side effect rather than a documented pattern affecting a meaningful percentage of patients. The trial that informed the prescription was funded by the manufacturer. Now it is today. Your doctor has new guidelines. New studies. New consensus. He is confident. He has always been confident. The confidence has never been the problem. The confidence is, in fact, precisely the problem.

I drew this same conclusion a year ago. In the short term, companies will rush to automate. There will be endless layoffs and companies will see record breaking profits for a very short while. Once AI is widely implemented, collective purchasing power collapses and drags blue collar industries, even those who have no AI automation, down with them. Eventually, companies will have to capitulate and lower prices across the board to accommodate consumers who now have very little purchasing power. This is where Elon’s proposal for UHI (universal high income) comes in. What they’re wrong about here is the assumption that an automation tax will help. While it CAN help, that’s ONLY true if the money flows directly to consumers. If the tax flows to governments, then we end up with a dystopian nightmare as big government gets even bigger while the individual consumer becomes dependent solely on government to provide for them. AI can either bring us utopia or it can bring us into an oppressive, high-tech dystopian surveillance state that the communists have dreamed of for centuries. Time will tell, but the current trajectory is not looking great.

Understand what Thune is doing right now. It’s not enough for him to kill the SAVE America Act. Thune has to kill it while also protecting his worst RINO colleagues from being exposed for opposing it. How does Thune accomplish his? By avoiding a simple majority vote at all costs. Thune knows a public vote where Republicans get less than 50 votes—with people like Tillis and Curtis and McConnell and Murkowski voting against IT—is electoral poison. He doesn’t want it to pass, but he also can’t have it die at the hands of his own puke colleagues. So how does Thune do this? By refusing to move to the already-passed House bill (this only requires a simple majority because the House message is privileged) and instead moving to a new, standalone Senate bill. A new Senate bill is not privileged, and therefore the motion to proceed to it is debatable, meaning it requires 60 votes. Thune needs to kill the SAVE America Act, not expose any of his GOP colleagues as being against it, and be able to pretend that he tried. This is the actual Senate GOP trifecta—doing nothing while pretending they tried everything and protecting the worst of the worst the whole time. So when you watch the GOP Senate bring up a brand new SAVE America Act bill and hold a single vote on a motion that needs 60 to pass, know that they’re doing it because they think you’re stupid.

Which would you rather have the Senate pass?

Famous last words before you have to perform manual surgery on your OpenClaw bot: “Want me to update the config?”

Since many of my Democrat colleagues don’t seem to understand the War Powers Act, it’s very simple: The President must notify Congress within 48 hours of deploying troops or commencing an attack. The President must then withdraw troops within 60-90 days, unless Congress declares war. In this instance, Congress was notified in advance and briefed before the strike on Iran. A full classified briefing will be forthcoming. Now, Congress can pass a concurrent resolution ordering the troops be withdrawn at anytime, which is what Massie and Khanna are trying to do. But under Article II and as Commander in Chief, the President has the authority to act. The notion that this strike is illegal or that the President needed Congress’ authority is wrong. Furthermore, Biden and Obama conducted numerous strikes in numerous countries without Congress and none of the people screaming now, seemed to have any objections. For historical context, Congress has not declared war since WWII.

Keynesian economists perform elaborate mathematical gymnastics to "prove" that $1 of government spending magically becomes $1.50 of economic growth. This fiscal multiplier fairy tale ignores what Bastiat called the "unseen" - the productive investments that never happen because resources were seized by bureaucrats first. Every bridge to nowhere represents a thousand private innovations strangled in their cribs. The seen stimulus creates jobs for government contractors and ribbon-cutting ceremonies for politicians. The unseen is the cancer research, the small businesses, the breakthrough technologies that die stillborn because capital was diverted to political pet projects. Modern economies don't multiply wealth through redistribution any more than you create water by moving it between buckets.

Let me get this straight: 1. prior administrations deported millions of people, and riots were basically nonexistent 2. the moment trump took office, a coordinated campaign by politicians/legacy media *directly called for resistance to ICE* 3. once riots happen and people are die, the spotlight shifts to stopping deportations and defunding ICE If this was such a crime against humanity, why did no one riot in 2024? The intention behind the unrest is NOT empathy. Empathy is being manufactured on false grounds to achieve political aims. And people are getting hurt.

Every concealed carry course teaches you that when you are carrying, any conflict you become involved in is a conflict that has a gun in it, and that isn’t a fact that always makes you safer. Because anybody who knows you have it and has a good reason to think you’re about to use it is allowed to use theirs first. Especially cops. Having a gun never makes you safer in an interaction with a cop, and if you find yourself in a situation where you are interacting with a cop while legally carrying, you want that gun to cease to be an element of the encounter. Concealed carry courses teach you how to interact with cops when you are carrying. You display your empty hands — you put them on your steering wheel or in the air, you inform the cop that you are a permit holder, you tell him where the gun is, and then you wait for instructions on what to do next. If the cop feels that he is not safe, you are not safe. Because if he gets the idea you’re reaching for that weapon, he may kill you and your permit or your right to carry has absolutely no bearing on his justification to do so. If a cop reasonably thinks you pose a danger to him, he can justifiably shoot you. If you have a gun and you can get hold of it, then you reasonably pose a danger to the cop. The Second Amendment, your concealed carry permit or open carry laws in your state are not part of this analysis. They do not matter in any way. Taking your weapon to a violent demonstration where you will be among protesters who are clashing with cops is a wildly irresponsible thing to do, because the presence of a gun changes the way the cops are going to deal with you and everyone you are with. The Second Amendment and concealed carry permits and open carry laws in no way lessen the criminal implications of having a gun while committing a crime. The presence of the gun escalates the seriousness of the crime dramatically over what it would have been if you had committed the crime without a weapon, and it makes no difference whether you have a permit or whether you got the gun from a guy in an alley. Direct action — impeding federal law enforcement officers in the course of their duty, helping migrants to escape from law enforcement, assaulting an officer — these are all crimes, and every one of these crimes becomes much more severe if you’re armed while you’re doing it. Having a permit doesn’t mean it was legal for him to be carrying at the demonstration, because it is never legal to be armed while doing a crime.

As a former Special Forces Warrant Officer with multiple rotations running counterinsurgency ops—both hunting insurgents and trying to separate them from sympathetic populations—I’ve seen organized resistance up close. From Anbar to Helmand, the pattern is familiar: spotters, cutouts, dead drops (or modern equivalents), disciplined comms, role specialization, and a willingness to absorb casualties while bleeding the stronger force slowly. What’s unfolding in Minneapolis right now isn’t “protest.” It’s low-level insurgency infrastructure, built by people who’ve clearly studied the playbook. Signal groups at 1,000-member cap per zone. Dedicated roles: mobile chasers, plate checkers logging vehicle data into shared databases, 24/7 dispatch nodes vectoring assets, SALUTE-style reporting (Size, Activity, Location, Unit, Time, Equipment) on suspected federal vehicles. Daily chat rotations and timed deletions to frustrate forensic recovery. Vetting processes for new joiners. Mutual aid from sympathetic locals (teachers providing cover, possible PD tip-offs on license plate lookups). Home-base coordination points. Rapid escalation from observation to physical obstruction—or worse. This isn’t spontaneous outrage. This is C2 (command and control) with redundancy, OPSEC hygiene, and task organization that would make a SF team sergeant nod in recognition. Replace “ICE agents” with “occupying coalition forces” and the structure maps almost 1:1 to early-stage urban cells we hunted in the mid-2000s. The most sobering part? It’s domestic. Funded, trained (somewhere), and directed by people who live in the same country they’re trying to paralyze law enforcement in. When your own citizens build and operate this level of parallel intelligence and rapid-response network against federal officers—complete with doxxing, vehicle pursuits, and harassment that’s already turned lethal—you’re no longer dealing with civil disobedience. You’re facing a distributed resistance that’s learned the lessons of successful insurgencies: stay below the kinetic threshold most of the time, force over-reaction when possible, maintain popular support through narrative, and never present a single center of gravity. I spent years training partner forces to dismantle exactly this kind of apparatus. Now pieces of it are standing up in American cities, enabled by elements of local government and civil society. That should keep every thinking American awake at night. Not because I want escalation. But because history shows these things don’t de-escalate on their own once the infrastructure exists and the cadre believe they’re winning the information war. We either recognize what we’re actually looking at—or we pretend it’s still just “activism” until the structures harden and spread. Your call, America. But from where I sit, this isn’t January 2026 politics anymore. It’s phase one of something we’ve spent decades trying to keep off our own soil.

The left’s formula for Creating Chaos: 1.Label opponents as Hitler, Gestapo, or extremists. Use language that inflames. 2.Stoke emotion: hate, fear, and animosity. 3.Deploy NGOs to fund paid protesters & agitators. 4.Raise tensions until violence erupts. 5.Exploit the crisis and blame Trump. 6.Amplify chaos. 7.Gaslight the American people. 8. Win elections. 9.Implement bad policies that weaken America and empower enemies. 10.The public eventually recognizes the manipulation. 11. You lose the next election. 12.Reset & repeat the same playbook. 13.Voters forget the previous administration and assume “you’ve changed.” 14.Long-term goal: destabilize and destroy America.

Trump needs to embrace his inner Lincoln and Jackson and crush the insurrection. Allowing this 2020/BLM-esque violent insanity to continue is unacceptable.

Every ICE story has been a hoax. Even if one eventually ends up being true, I don’t want to hear it. Democrats have created chaos. They cannot put out a fog of war and then play these games.

This study explains literally everything we see with white liberal woman’s suicidal empathy and its from 20 years ago. In the experiment, there are subjects playing a game and subjects observing it. when researchers shocked players for playing fairly, both men and women observers felt empathy for them. However when researchers shocked players for cheating, male empathy went way down and their pleasure centers lit up. While women’s response was basically unchanged regardless of the players behavior. Female biology literally feels empathy toward people receiving punishment regardless of whether they deserved it, while male empathy is conditional based on behavior. In retrospect this is obviously exactly what happens but it explains so much about our modern political situation that i am dumbfounded i have never heard about it until now.

"Innocent woman murdered by ICE"= Leftist agitator blocking ICE agents and driving a car at them. "5-year-old boy arrested by ICE"= Illegal alien abandoned his son and ICE took care of him. "Kidnapping people off the streets"= Arresting people with no legal right to be here. The left is simply creating an alternative reality about immigration enforcement that's being uncritically amplified by the media. And they're doing it because Democrats want their new class of voters to replace Americans so they never lose an election again.

Let me break this down in as basic a manner as I can: 1. America elects a President that the Democrat/Media Complex does not like. 2. Democrats engage in violent riots over whatever their otherwise perfectly legal cause du jour might be. 3. "See? The fact that this guy is President is causing riots. If you vote for us this abnormal rioting that the President is causing will stop." 4. Democrats win next election. Riots stop. ________________________ This is no different than the Mafia threatening to burn down a store unless the owner pays protection money. IT IS EXTORTION. When will America realize what the Democrat's evil game is and send them to where they belong?
