Correct take on civil servants. They work for us, but that doesn't seem to be the case for decades.
The biggest trick the regime ever pulled was convincing you to defend your own oppressors.
If you think a politician is your friend or your savior, you’ve already lost.
They aren't celebrities. They aren't idols.
They are supposed to be civil servants, but they’ve tricked you into thinking they’re the nobility and you’re the peasant.
They hate you, they lie to you, and they laugh at you behind closed doors while you defend them online.
Wake up. They work for us.
The moment you start treating them like gods is the moment you stop being a citizen and start being a subject.
Have some dignity and self respect.
Mr. JD Vance trying to save his political career for a 2028 Presidential run. But will this reflection be enough? 🤔 Anything that the Donald touches now will be worthless. People have lost confidence in him.
One of the things the data analysts on our side obsessed over was "composition"—whether the electorate looked close enough to 2024 for Republicans to win. And despite polls that showed a Democrat blowout, the data kept on telling us the same story: in some states turnout was merely OK, in other states it was downright amazing, and in no state was it catastrophic. There was a genuine sense of optimism on our team: our people were showing up.
So, I asked the smartest data guy I know, does that mean we're going to shock the world? "No," he told me. "We might do better than the polls suggest. But the data is telling us that a lot of Trump/Vance 2024 voters are pissed and planning to vote for the other guys. Our voters are turning out, but they may not vote for us."
Well, that looks prophetic now. Our voters did show up. In Florida, for example, the electorate was 9 points more Republican than Democrat, just a couple points worse than 2024. Undoubtedly there were places we could have done better on turnout. But the main problem is not turnout. The main problem is that many people who voted for Trump/Vance in 2024 voted for Democrats in 2026.
There will be a lot of infighting and arguing over what happened and why that is. One of the pollsters I really respect told me that our economic messaging wasn’t sharp enough down the stretch. I’m sure that’s true.
But the real reason we lost is obvious to almost everyone.
Another pollster—one of the smartest people I know in politics, told me yesterday we’d lose the generic ballot by 13 points. I felt negative going into Tuesday, but even I was shocked by this. In his polling, he saw that a lot of Trump 2024 voters were angry and planning to vote for Democrats. He asked those voters who had abandoned us what would cause them to come back on our team. The top four answers, accounting for nearly all of the responses were:
1) End the war
2) Focus on cost of living/inflation
3) Put America First
4) Change our relationship to Israel
Our voters showed up. And the above four reasons are why many of them voted for Democrats. This is according to a pollster who nailed the results. While many spent Monday attacking Rachel Campos Duffy for calling for a diplomatic resolution to the conflict, it turns out her political advice was sound. (She’s also a great person.)
In the next few months, there's going to be a lot of gaslighting. Expect to hear any number of establishment politicians say the solution to our woes is amnesty. I'm open to the idea that we should change enforcement—by focusing more on businesses that hire illegal labor, for instance. But anyone pushing amnesty is lying to you.
The reason we lost is the war. The president himself said so last night.
If you'd like to argue it was worth it, that losing the Senate for the next 6 years was worth it, then do so. Argue it was a worthwhile cost to pay. Agree or disagree, that's at least honest.
But everyone knows why we lost. And any honest conversation about where we go from here must start there.
I remain hopeful about our country. To the people who are pissed off and want to say, “I told you so”: you’re right, you did tell us so. Take that energy into electing Republicans who share your worldview. To the people who are just pissed at the results, you should be. Let’s take that anger and get back to the work of saving our country.
BC and Alberta are now on permanent Daylight Savings Time.
So when the public requested that we stop changing the clocks twice a year & the politicians had two choices, we should have expected them to pick the wrong choice. Because of course they will. 🤦♂️

You cannot strengthen the weak by weakening the strong. You cannot help the wage earner by pulling down the wage payer. You cannot further the brotherhood of man by encouraging class hatred. You cannot help the poor by destroying the rich. You cannot keep out of trouble by spending more than you earn. You cannot build character and courage by taking away man’s initiative and independence. You cannot help men permanently by doing for them what they could and should do for themselves.

People in cybersecurity… 😅
it's f*cking insane
there was a bug living inside my Starlink router
not on my laptop. not on my phone. in the box that every device in my house connects to
after writing the article about hidden cameras, i decided to check one more thing: the router itself
here's what Claude found ↓
→ a module called "netcache" that is NOT part of the official firmware
→ it started at every boot and was hidden from the admin panel
→ every night between 2 and 4am it sent ~3.4 GB to an unknown server
→ it was copying traffic from 6 of the 8 devices in my home
and then it showed me what it had collected:
2,316 photos
412 documents
18,903 browsing records
from my iPhone. my MacBook. my iPad. my work laptop
the router is the perfect hiding spot:
→ no antivirus ever scans it
→ it's on 24/7
→ everything you do passes through it
→ nobody updates it after day one
to be clear: this isn't Starlink spying on me. someone got into MY router. it could be any brand
what i did:
→ blocked the unknown server
→ stopped the module and isolated the router
→ saved everything as evidence
→ factory reset + firmware update + new Wi-Fi password
→ changed every password from a clean device
if you checked your room for hidden cameras after my last article, check your router too. it sees more than any camera
how to do the whole check is in the article below ↓

Or the longer historical version. Director's cut.
Pořád se nám tady opakuje ta uvaha, že v Polsku je to jako u nás, jen naopak. Ale opravdu to stejné není.
Píše se rok 2015: Tuskova vláda ještě vládne, ale tuší, že nastane střídání garnitur. V tu dobu končí mandát TŘEM soudcům. Kdyby je vyměnili, nebyl by žádný problém. Ale oni se rozhodli, že najmenují rovnou PĚT nových, i když těm dvěma zbývajícím dosud mandát neskončil a správně by je měla jmenovat až nová vláda. Ale oni si chtěli zajistit "svoje" soudce.
Jmenování dorazilo k tehdejšími konzervativnímu prezidentovi Dudovi a ten prostě odmítnul jmenovat VŠECH PĚT. I když tři byli legitimní. Měl na to právo nebo neměl? No tak asi by správně měl tři jmenovat a dva ne, ale když mu Tusk dal tuhle šanci, tak prostě odmítnul jmenovat VŠECHNY!! Tzn, jejich mandát nikdy nezačal.
Pak nastoupila k moci vláda PiS a najmenovala si svých PĚT soudců. Říká se jim dubleři. Pomineme, co se mezitím dělo kolem. Důležité je, že soudci se volí na DEVĚT LET. To znamená, mandát těch pěti dublerů vypršel v roce 2024. V tu chvíli byla u moci už zase Tuskova vláda.
Jasně, v tu chvíli si mohla legitimně místo pěti dublerů najemnovat svých pět soudců. V tu chvíli by je tam prezident jmenovat musel. A asi by je i jmenoval. ALE!! To by museli Tuskovci uznat, že ti dubleři tam celých těch devět let seděli legitimně! Jenomže to oni uznat nechtějí. Oni celou dobu tvrdili, že tydle dubleři jsou nesměroplatný.
Takže místo nich nejmenovali nikoho a pokusili se na to jít jinak, aby se vlk nažral a koza zustala. Místo toho, aby Tuskova většina obsazovala jednotlivá uvolněná místa „kus za kus“, zkusila v roce 2024 jít cestou celkové ústavní a zákonné reformy Ústavního soudu:
V březnu 2024 schválil Sejm velký balík usnesení a návrhů zákonů, které měly prohlásit rozhodnutí Ústavního soudu pod vedením PiS za neplatná a restartovat celý Ústavní soud od nuly.
Ale Houstone máme problém. Tento plán ztroskotal. Prezident Duda veškeré tyto reformní zákony vetoval nebo je poslal k přezkoumání právě Ústavnímu soudu. Takže pat pokrčoval. Tuskův tábor to v tu chvíli vzdal a čekal, jak dopadnou prezidentské volby, protože si mysleli, že vyhraje jejich kandidát. Jenomže místo konzervatice Dudy přišel konzervativec Nawrocki. Tuskovci pochopili, že budou muset jednat a tak skutečně vybrali nové soudce. Celkem osm jmen. Protože mezitím mandát skončil i některým dalším.
Jenomže Nawrocki řekl, prrrrr. ZA KOHO nastupují tito soudci? Kdy začal přesně jejich mandát? A pouze ve třech případech bylo jasné, ZA KOHO nastupují a odkdy je jejch mandát. Tyto tři případy Nawrocki podepsal. Ale u ostatních Tuskovci řekli: Nó to víte, oni tam jsou tak nějak aby doplnili stav a jejich mandát se počítá tak nějak od teďkom. No a Nawrocki řekl, no to teda ne holenkové. Tak todle vám nepodškrábnu.
A zbytek znáte, Tuskovci se pokusili protlačit ty svoje kandidáty na soud i bez podpisu prezidenta ... a zkusila to ausgerechnet, když byl prezident v Senegalu....
A proto to není jen tak jednoduché. Fakt se to té naší situaci nepodobá. Já bych velmi plédovala za to, abychom tu situaci takto nezjednodušovali.
