CORRECTION: the left had taken over every institution in this country by the early seventies. In fact, you can mark the date as July 1st 1973, when the 26th Amendment was ratified, giving eighteen year olds the right to vote. It’s not a popular opinion, but history will show that “The Greatest Generation” dug the U.S. into the Progressive hole. It was an aftershock of their experience in the Great Depression. My great uncle, a survivor of the Bataan death march and Japanese POW, still said the Great Depression was the most formative and difficult event of his life.

This farmer just said the quiet part out loud from the cab of his tractor. “I would be one pissed off guy if I laid my life on the line to defend the freedoms of America, got shipped overseas to some Middle Eastern third world country to fight the Islamic regime of terrorists… to then come back to the United States and have a two-party system where the Democrats basically are the party that wants to watch America fall… and then watch them vote in a guy by the name of Abdul A-Ahad Qasim (or whatever his name is)… and see the same people you were shooting at over there as terrorists are running the state of Michigan now.” He continues: “So all the while, you’re trying to defend the world’s freedoms by fighting them over on their home turf, they’re actually already in America just taking over here because the people here are stupid enough to just welcome them in with open arms to just destroy the country.” And the data backs the frustration. Democrat Abdul El-Sayed just became the first Muslim U.S. Senator after winning Michigan by about 7 points (52.5% to 45.5%) over Army veteran Mike Rogers. Dearborn is now 54.5% Middle Eastern/North African ancestry. Michigan’s Muslim population is estimated at 240,000–270,000+, and the broader U.S. immigrant population from majority-Muslim countries more than doubled since 9/11 (1.7 million to 3.4 million). Veterans fought the ideology overseas. Democrats then voted the same ideology into power at home. America has been invaded.

Two Muslim cops in New York stopped a nurse for no apparent reason other than that she was walking her dog. They cornered her and threatened to seize her dog. When confronted, they got angry and couldn’t say what law she had broken. This is what happens when you give these people power. All I can say is that she was lucky there were passersby, because it was 3 AM and things could’ve ended much worse.

The Susan Wiles revolving door of treachery. Susan Wiles worked for Ron DeSantis. Susan Wiles was fired by DeSantis for leaking information Susan Wiles found her way to the Trump world with the help of very important friends in high places. Those friends threw a wedge between two good friends turning them against one another that being Trump and DeSantis. Once that wedge was established this RINO gang went to work on a vulnerable Don Jr selling him on you got it, JD Vance The Trump-DeSantis ticket was destroyed before it ever got started. The scheme was to sell Vance to Don Jr who then sold it to Trump. Vance then took back the years of badmouthing Trump and said it was a mistake Trump bought it because Wiles sold Vance as an up and coming rock star that will only benefit your presidency The Trump-Vance ticket was official Wiles was sold on Trump Vance was sold on Trump. As for the elite RINOs? They got their in woman in Susan Wiles a proven leaker and master manipulator They got their Pence in Vance Vance played the game until the midterms where he ended that game and started his separation from Trump by blaming the Iran War on Trump. Note how he never once spoke negatively about the War and actually held peace talks with the Iranian’s Once Vance’s blame game wasn’t received well in fact it may be his ending, he did a 360 and is looking to save grace for his 2028 run. This was an orchestrated, well designed game of manipulation to catapult Vance for 28. Vance fucked it all up by opening his phony mouth. Now the best thing that can come out of this is Vance is done. Wiles got screamed at by Trump before she left. Don’t believe the bullshit about Wiles leaving graciously just to move on from her post and to work for Trump in another capacity. That’s the game of politics. Never make it look like your administration is in trouble. All for show and tell They were both caught. Their plan exposed and now we know why we never got any of the accountability this country is starving for. The manipulative Susan Wiles, the same Wiles who was working on bringing Pete Hegseth down. Trump went scorched earth when he found out Enter the closer. Trump’s number one confidant. Stephen Miller. It’s Miller Time! All of a sudden the Dems and the media are scared shitless! Now without someone who was supposed to be your top advisor, manipulating you and giving you false intel, maybe we can get back to the game plan starting with accountability. Now we all know what Hegseth meant when he said Patriots are now in control. These are going to be a helluva last two months and a historic next two years. Let the games begin! It’s Miller Time!

All Democrats are Communists.
On November 7th, 1917, the Bolsheviks seized power Russia, promising “peace, land and bread” to the people. Over the next 74 years the people were starved, killed by death squads, thrown in work camps and gulags, and other things unrelated to “peace, land and bread”.

Feasibility studies typically find what they’re paid to find. Mega projects are typically mega grifts. If there were any legitimate need for this, it will quickly be superseded by the autonomous automobile — just like the Interstate Highway System and the private automobile superseded passenger rail in the U.S. But I understand. The objective has nothing to with efficiency of transportation or even the CO2 religion. It’s all about restricting the mobility choices of the average citizen, or “the masses” in Leftist speak.
Feasibility studies to connect Omaha and even Lincoln, Nebraska to Chicago, Illinois across Iowa have already been performed. The only thing stopping these projects was GOP obstructionism. The Midterms changed that.

The population density and commuter need doesn’t exist here. You can’t simply take what works and Korea and Japan and drop it on the American landscape. All Democrats are Communists, and not very smart.
Democrats have a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to build out passenger rail service and transform the economy and lifestyle of the Midwest forever. Omaha, Nebraska should be connected to Chicago by High Speed Rail AND multiple intercity trains on different routes across Iowa!

Zastąpiliśmy stare chrześcijańskie leki nowoczesną psychologią, czyli SATANIZMEM, który usprawiedliwia wszelkie zwierzęce impulsy. Dawniej człowiek miał duszę, a dusza miała obowiązki. Dzisiaj człowiek ma psychikę, a psychika ma potrzeby. I oto cała metafizyczna katastrofa naszych czasów! Grzech przemianowano na traumę. Rozpustę na samorealizację. Tchórzostwo na troskę o własny komfort. Pycha stała się poczuciem własnej wartości, egoizm — stawianiem granic, a zwykłe, ordynarne świństwo — autentycznym wyrażaniem siebie. Cóż za cudowna operacja na sumieniu! Bez skalpela, bez krwi, bez znieczulenia! Wystarczy zmienić nazwę, a zbrodnia moralna zamienia się w przypadek terapeutyczny. Człowiek już nie odpowiada za swoje czyny. Człowiek się realizuje! Jeżeli zdradza, to dlatego, że jego potrzeby emocjonalne nie zostały zaspokojone. Jeżeli krzywdzi, to dlatego, że sam został kiedyś skrzywdzony. Jeżeli jest nikczemny, to dlatego, że społeczeństwo nie pozwoliło mu rozwinąć jego prawdziwego JA. A to JA! To monstrualne, rozdęte, tłuste JA, siedzące na tronie z własnych wydzielin psychicznych, domagające się nieustannego hołdu od całego wszechświata! JA CZUJĘ! JA PRAGNĘ! JA POTRZEBUJĘ! A więc mam rację! Oto nowy katechizm. Oto objawienie epoki. Oto Ewangelia według Świętego Narcyza! Chrześcijaństwo, przy całej swojej straszliwej surowości, stawiało przed człowiekiem zadanie niemal nadludzkie: przekroczyć samego siebie. Opanować namiętności. Zapanować nad żądzą. Nie być niewolnikiem własnego brzucha, genitaliów, strachu i próżności. A współczesny człowiek? Współczesny człowiek urządził sobie z własnego brzucha świątynię, z genitaliów wyrocznię, a ze strachu najwyższą instancję moralną. Nie chce już zbawienia. Chce akceptacji. Nie chce prawdy. Chce potwierdzenia. Nie chce być lepszy. Chce usłyszeć, że już jest doskonały, a wszystkie jego świństwa są tylko naturalnymi przejawami jego cudownej osobowości. I dlatego nazywam to SATANIZMEM. Nie tym teatralnym, z rogami, pentagramami i czarnymi świecami. To byłoby jeszcze zbyt uczciwe! Diabeł przynajmniej miał kiedyś odwagę występować jako diabeł. Nie! Dzisiejszy szatan nosi miękki sweterek, mówi spokojnym głosem i zapewnia, że nie powinniśmy siebie osądzać. Nie kusi już człowieka do grzechu. On mu tłumaczy, że grzech nigdy nie istniał. A człowiek, ta nieszczęsna małpa metafizyczna, która przez tysiąclecia próbowała wydostać się ze swojej zwierzęcości, przyjmuje tę wiadomość z zachwytem. Wreszcie wolno mu być świnią bez poczucia winy! Wreszcie może tarzać się we własnych instynktach i nazywać to rozwojem osobistym! Wreszcie nie musi już walczyć z samym sobą! I oto największy triumf nowoczesności: człowiek wyzwolony z obowiązku bycia człowiekiem.

You are wrong about immigration. What went wrong was letting JD Vance run his never-Trump op inside the White House — especially his ploy to negotiate with the mullahs.
🚨 I LIKE STEPHEN MILLER, BUT APPOINTING HIM SENDS THE WRONG MESSAGE AFTER TUESDAY’S ELECTION RESULTS! Let me be clear: I support strong border security and enforcing our immigration laws. But we also have to be honest about what went wrong. The aggressive immigration enforcement tactics, controversial ICE operations, and the administration’s approach to deportations have become major political liabilities. We cannot ignore the concerns these policies have raised among Hispanic voters and other Americans. And now we’re talking about doubling down by putting Stephen Miller in an even more influential position? Republicans just suffered significant election setbacks, and I am still waiting to see some serious reflection and accountability. We cannot keep losing elections and responding by doubling down on the very policies and messaging that deserve serious examination. YOU CANNOT FIX A POLITICAL PROBLEM IF YOU REFUSE TO ACKNOWLEDGE THAT THERE IS A PROBLEM! I support President Trump, but supporting a president does not mean agreeing with every decision he makes. Republicans need to expand their coalition, listen to voters, and understand why people are walking away. It’s time for reflection, not more of the same. #Republicans #GOP #StephenMiller #TrumpAdministration #HispanicVoters #ImmigrationPolicy #RepublicanParty #ElectionResults #PoliticalAccountability #ConservativePolitics

🚨 BREAKING: ELON MUSK DELIVERS HIS SECOND SPEECH AFTER GINA HINOJOSA THREATENED TO TARGET HIS TESLA COMPANY IN TEXAS. 🗣️ “Gina is a Barack Obama and Kamala Harris puppet. She was planted there by the Democratic Party leaders to help them achieve their selfish goals. But you know what? They need me more than I need them. If they don’t want me, I will leave immediately and move to Florida. I already know she will come after Cybertruck production, using taxes as an excuse, but we know what is really going on. She has been instructed by her deep-state leaders to target me because of how I supported Donald Trump during the election. The fight is not really against me; it is against Trump. They want to use me to get to him, but they have forgotten that the President still has veto power. Gina Hinojosa is a small lady. I am not afraid of her. All I do is laugh whenever she makes statements like that. Her actions will hurt her state and its people far more than they will hurt my company. So, let’s see whether she genuinely has the interests of Texans at heart or whether she intends to use hatred to destroy what Texas has achieved over the years.”
My advice to Gina Hinojosa: Stop allowing political differences to influence economic decisions. Elon Musk’s political affiliation and support for Donald Trump should have nothing to do with how his businesses are treated in Texas. Tesla creates jobs, attracts investment and contributes to the state’s economy. If you want Texas to prosper, focus on policies that encourage businesses to invest, expand and create more employment opportunities rather than threatening them with punitive taxes. You may disagree with Elon Musk politically, but your responsibility as governor is to represent ALL Texans, not just Democrats. Don’t turn Texas into a state where businesses feel punished for supporting the wrong political party.

JD Vance personally stopped the military campaign against Iran at its peak. He forced repeated negotiations, sent letters to IRGC hardliners, and treated the regime as a partner as it grew more aggressive. He tied Israel’s hands against Hezbollah. The pauses he demanded gave the terrorists time to rearm. Israelis died because of those decisions. That blood is on his hands. He has never apologized. Blinded by hostility toward Israel, he worked to keep the Iranian regime alive rather than let Israel finish the job. He now uses the high costs of the war he prolonged as a political weapon against Israel, blaming the relationship with Israel for midterm losses and calling to change it. He sabotaged the fight, inflated the bill, and sells the damage as proof that Israel is the problem. If you stand with Israel, please share and follow!

URBANDALE, Iowa – Democrat Polk County District Associate Judge Lynn Poschner, 45, was arrested by Urbandale police on Wednesday, November 4, just 1 day after Iowans successfully voted to retain her for another six-year term, on felony charges of homicide by vehicle and serious injury by vehicle for a September crash that killed one pedestrian and seriously injured another. On September 25, around 9:15 PM, Poschner struck 2 people crossing 86th Street north of Aurora Avenue in her 2016 Honda CR-V. 60-year-old Urbandale resident Jasmira Kadic died from her injuries on October 28. The second pedestrian survived with serious injuries. Court complaints state Poschner told officers she looked down at her phone to adjust the audio just before the impact and did not see the pedestrians. A forensic exam confirmed her phone screen was on and unlocked around the time of the collision. She was booked into the Polk County Jail, released on a $15,000 cash bond, and is now on leave with her juvenile cases reassigned. The Iowa Attorney General’s Office is handling the prosecution because of potential conflicts with local prosecutors. Poschner, appointed to the bench in 2018 after private practice and degrees from the University of Northern Iowa and Drake Law School, won retention the night before with roughly 95,762 yes votes to 43,313 no votes. For Democrats who spent the cycle arguing that public officials must be held to the highest standards of accountability, and that “no one is above the law,” Poschner’s situation is a sharp contradiction. Voters had no knowledge of the pending charges when they kept her on the bench, as the crash itself had already occurred weeks earlier. The situation leaves her felony reckless-driving charges in the death of a local resident. The bigger political conversation about judicial integrity and what will happen to her, as Democratic claims of having superior ethics will soon be put to the test, while anonymous communities online continue to raise concerns about female drivers.

Amongst other colossal failures of JD Vance as VP, here is his record on Middle Eastern Christians, country by country. It is important to remember something. Before he became VP, @JDVance branded himself as an advocate of Apostolic Christians. He gave beautiful lectures about the horrifying collapse of ancient Christianity, including Assyro-Chaldeans in Iraq. He soul searched on US foreign policy & used the collapse of Apostolic Christianity as a major talking point to elevate his brand as the staunch Catholic. Once in office, he did nothing, said nothing, and left Christians in the Middle East to absorb the ramifications of his admin's reckless policy. 1) LEBANON: As it stands, Maronites in Lebanon face more pressure in Lebanon than ever before. With Iran gaining leverage following the war & Israel pounding the south, Christians in Lebanon are stuck in the middle. And guess what? They are leaving the country in droves. 2) SYRIA: Trump & JD supported the Erdogan-sponsored takeover of Syria, handing the country to radical Sunni Jihadism. The same people who were beheading Christians 15 years ago are now in the halls of the UN, praised as the pioneers of a "New Syria". Predictably, Christians have been systematically targeted in church bombings, massacres & ad-hoc kidnappings. And guess what? They're leaving the country in droves. 3) TURKEY: JD has supported the new "Ottoman realignment" in the Middle East which transformed Turkey into a superpower. This is very bad for Armenia, which hangs on the brink after the genocide in Artsakh, and it is also the crucial lever behind Syria. Over the years, Erdogan has gradually positioned himself as a powerbroker of Sunni Islam. Trump & JD helped consolidate this role with Syria as his first crown jewel, again with no consideration for the Christians in Syria & elsewhere. 4) IRAQ: Iraq is home to one of the oldest Christian communities in the world. The Assyrian Christians speak the language of Jesus Christ and existed in Mesopotamia before the Old Testament. Trump & JD talked a big game to Assyro-Chaldeans, partly because they play a role in swinging Michigan. In reality, JD did nothing. Despite all the US' leverage in Iraq, not an ounce of pressure was exerted to support the return of Assyrians to the country or to support a project for regional autonomy in Nineveh. The Iran War hit Assyro-Chaldeans particularly hard, as one of the last urban strongholds in the country (Ankawa) was located right near the US airbase in Erbil (within kilometres). And guess what? They are leaving the country in droves. 5) ISRAEL: Fanatics regularly attack Christians in Israel, spitting on them, attacking churches or desecrating "idols". This happens regardless of who is in power in the US. What is embarrassing for JD Vance here is that he exerted no tangible pressure on @GovMikeHuckabee or @netanyahu to stop these attacks. Huckabee is the quintessential Christian Zionist. JD, despite positioning himself as an Apostolic Christian, did not have the courage or the energy to elevate the status of Christians in Israel. If there was ever a moment to pressure Israel to take serious action against these fanatics, it was 2024-26, but the Apostolic JD was no match for the Christian Zionists (who apparently don't care if Catholic nuns get spit on). THE BOTTOM LINE IS A LEGACY OF NEGLECT & A TOTAL LACK OF WILL: JD Vance, the Catholic convert, positioned himself as an advocate of Middle Eastern Christians. He highlighted the collapse of Assyro-Chaldean Christianity in Iraq in his critique of the Iraq War, crucial to his branding as a foreign policy realist. If he had an ounce of initiative or courage, he could have used his role as VP to become a true advocate for Christians in the Middle East. He could have lobbied, across each country listed above, for crucial rights, resources & policy shifts that would benefit Christians. Instead? He not only oversaw a regional war which has accelerated Christian emigration, he oversaw the rise of a Jihadi Syria which is killing Christians brazenly. He oversaw the continued displacement of Maronites in Lebanon. He totally ignored the Assyrians he lectured so beautifully about (whereas he could have become an advocate for their return & for the revival of Aramaic, the language of Christ). He didn't have the courage to fight the people who spit on Christians in Israel. JD Vance was a colossal disappointment to Middle Eastern Christians. He used their plight to brand himself as the Apostolic Christian but this was nothing more than a marketing stunt. Once he wielded real power, he was nowhere to be seen, and he forgot about his poetic lectures. Not only did he squander a massive opportunity to restore the status of Christians in the Middle East, he oversaw the transfer of power to people who hate Christians (whether in Damascus or Jerusalem). Who would have thought? The first time we have a "based Christian admin" with crusader edits & crucifix tattoos, they didn't just ignore ancient Christianity, they continued to destroy it.

When Saladin took Jerusalem, he destroyed all the crosses, including the relic of the True Cross which the Muslims took in battle. They paraded them before Christians before destroying them, even urinating on some of them. He had 200-300 Christian Knights beheaded while he watched. He had 8000 women and children enslaved that day alone, including noble women and nuns forced into concubinage. Muslims enthusiastically described the deflowering and r*pe of the Christian women. Through his entire campaign it's estimated that 40-50k Christians were enslaved. This is what modern Hollywood films present us instead. Interfaith dialogue and a Saladin who respects the cross more than....the Crusaders. This is how you end up with CAIR endorsed candidates winning office. A population fed CAIR endorsed films like this one.

Nothing changed. That was the problem. @IowaGOP has been a zoo full of RINOs my whole life — and apparently people are tired of RINOs.
Iowa delivered two clear flips on Nov. 3: Rob Sand (D) defeated Zach Lahn for governor (first Democratic governor since 2006) and Josh Turek flipped the open Senate seat. The state that backed Trump by double digits in 2024 swung hard. Special elections had already signaled the shift. Florida and Montana held nationally; Iowa did not. Time to diagnose what changed on the ground here and rebuild. #Iowa #Midterms2026

Muting Pence now. (Thought I already had.)
My thoughts on the Midterm Results: My heart breaks for our country. Despite the best efforts by so many to support Republican candidates and call conservatives back to our principles, our Republican team suffered a historic defeat. This midterm election wasn’t a rout, it was a reckoning. The American people have rejected our party’s shift toward economic populism, and our majorities in Congress and state legislatures and governorships across the country paid the price. But like most people of faith, I’m an eternal optimist. I know that with God’s help, we can save our movement—and our country—again. We can return the Republican Party to the timeless principles that have led to our greatest successes and, more important, have made America strong, prosperous and free. The conservative comeback starts today. Let’s get to work. 🇺🇸

JD Vance grew the opposition to the Iran War, pushed POTUS to stall and negotiate with the Iranians, which failed, leaked everything to his best friend Tucker Carlson, and is now backstabbing the President for starting the war, which JD Vance initially said was the right move.

I hope you’re right. But he got this far with the tech-bro money and network. Never underestimate that power.
JD Vance has almost no path on the right: - The groyper faction (Nick Fuentes listeners) will never accept him because his wife is Indian and his son’s name is Vivek. - The pro-Trump base will never support him because he pushed for a horrible deal with the Islamic regime in Iran (MoU) and undercut Trump’s agenda on Iran. - The anti-Trump Republicans will never accept him because he went from “Trump is Hitler” to becoming Trump’s VP. The only people who support him are a tiny often pro-Russia, anti-Ukraine, anti-Israel faction, so small they’ll never win an election.
