Mr. Vice-President,
Please allow me to present a different perspective.
The problem was not the Iran War. It was the cease fire.
If you start a war, you need to win it and finish it – otherwise don’t start it.
This war should have been over six months ago, with the Strait of Hormuz wide open and oil flowing. The second and third tiers of Iranian leadership should have been destroyed, and we should have supported the pro-western forces who could have taken leadership. We stood on the brink of a new, more peaceful Middle East - and then we blinked. We had a chance not only to deny Iran nuclear weapons, but to get rid of the world’s biggest supporter of terrorism.
Instead, we had a cease fire, which was followed by months of will we or won’t we finish the job. Every day was a different message. There still is. Is the war over? Is it about to begin? No one knows. There is confusion and inconsistency.
In June 2025, America was not involved. This was an Israel vs Iran issue.
No one forced the United States to attack Iran then, or in February of 2026. It was a decision made by President Trump. In my opinion, it was the right decision.
Once the decision was made, we should not have stopped until the regime fell. But instead, you negotiated a cease fire that didn’t last, didn’t work and left us in no man’s land, with higher prices and our troops still deployed.
Our troops could have been home, the Navy returned to its bases, a peaceful regime in place , new alliances forged, and gas prices below $3.00 a gallon.
No, Mr. Vice President. It’s not the war. It’s the so-called cease fire.
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.

Today we remember the innocent lives murdered by Hamas terrorists on October 7, 2023, and honor the heroes who risked everything to save others.
We remember. We stand with Israel. 🇺🇸🇮🇱

I’m watching a Jewish guy who converted to Christianity roaming the streets of Jerusalem, openly talking about Jesus and trying to convert other Jews by the Western Wall.
He seems completely at ease, as hundreds of Jewish passersby walk past them without incident.
I couldn’t help but imagine, what if I stood by the Kaaba in Mecca and spoke about how I left Islam? How many pieces would I be found in after being recognized?
And yet, the idiots in the West believe Christians are persecuted in Israel.
You fools, not only are Christians not persecuted, but even Messianic Jews (Jews who convert to Christianity) have churches, live openly as Christians, and worship in peace.
In Israel, there is real tolerance. Jews may not love Christianity, but they stop short of persecuting Christians.
That is very different from the false American version of tolerance, where you may hate certain ideas but are forced to act as though you love them to avoid offending others, even when those ideas are destroying your society.
In Israel, there are people who hate Christianity and do not want Christians converting their Jewish fellows. Some might spit at a missionary or in front of a church.
They do not hide their hostility. But that is where it stops: what they think does not determine how Christians are allowed to live and worship.
Under Islam, however, Christians live under systems of supremacy, forced to tiptoe around Islamic sensitivities because hostility won't be spitting, it is usually kidnapping their daughters, burning their churches and their homes, and beheading them.

For some time, a deep burden has been growing in my heart.
As a Jewish believer in Yeshua, I cannot remain silent when I hear Christians claim that God is finished with my people – that Israel failed, the church took its place, and the promises God made to us no longer mean what they plainly say.
I came to faith in Yeshua without ever reading the New Testament. It was through the Hebrew Scriptures, particularly the book of Isaiah, that I recognized my Messiah.
When Yeshua taught, the New Testament had not yet been written. When Paul, Peter, and John appealed to Scripture, they pointed their readers back to the Hebrew Scriptures. The Law, the Prophets, and the Psalms were the authoritative Word of God to them, revealing His character, His Messiah, and His plan of redemption.
How, then, can such ignorance of the Old Testament exist among those who claim to follow Yeshua?
After presenting the overwhelming evidence from the Hebrew Scriptures in The Israel Decree, I was told by some that it was not enough. They wanted proof from the New Testament – from the words of Yeshua and the apostles themselves.
That challenge became deeply personal.
This time, I decided to appeal not only to the world – whose biblical illiteracy I can understand – but also to those so-called followers of Christ who cast aside the Old Testament while imagining that the New Testament reveals a different God with a different character and nature.
The God of the New Testament is the same God revealed in the Old Testament. He does not change. His character does not change. His nature does not change. And His promises do not change.
This challenge led me to focus on two central questions:
▪️ What does God’s overall plan reveal about His unchanging character and nature?
▪️ What do the writings of the New Testament actually teach about Israel and the church?
If God could cancel His promises to Israel because of our failures, how could anyone trust Him to remain faithful despite theirs? This is more than a debate about Israel, the church, or Bible prophecy. It concerns the very character of God.
My people have failed Him many times. He has never failed us. He preserved us through centuries of persecution, returned us to our ancient homeland, and continues to unfold His promises before the eyes of the world.
Israel has not been replaced, rejected, or forgotten.
And this burden upon my heart has now become something much greater…
Stay tuned!

CLAIM: The Catholic Church gave us the Holy Bible. You should be grateful!
TRUTH: No, the Catholic Church did not give us the Holy Bible. If anything, they kept it from the world. It was the Jews and the Protestants who gave us the Holy Bible—and many of them voluntarily paid for it with their own blood.
First and foremost, God Almighty entrusted His Word to the Jews.
God’s people received it, recorded it, and faithfully copied it down on scrolls generation after generation. Many Jews willingly gave their lives and subjected themselves to horrific tortures and brutal death at the hands of both Greeks and Romans—all to ensure that the Word of God survived.
It was the Jews who canonized all 39 books of the Hebrew Scriptures (Genesis to Malachi), and they did it about 500 years before the Catholic Church even existed.
The Catholic Church had ZERO influence determining which books of the “Old Testament” were Scripture. I repeat: ZERO.
That was 100% the Jews.
The only thing the Catholic Church determined was what books should be included in the New Testament—the same New Testament books that were also written by THE JEWS.
So, no, the Catholic Church actually did extraordinarily little when it came to providing the world with the Holy Bible.
In fact, the Catholic Church FORBADE the common man from even reading the Bible—desiring to keep the people chained to the pulpit and enslaved to the false teachings and traditions of Catholicism.
1000+ years after the Catholic Church was established, we had the Protestant Reformation that started in 1517 with Martin Luther’s 95 Theses against the Catholic Church.
Unlike the Catholic Church that kept the Word of God from the people, the Great Protestant Reformers worked tirelessly to translate the Bible into English so the common man could read it and study it for themselves—so that THE TRUTH of God’s Word could set them FREE from the authoritarian rule of the Catholic Church.
And like the Jews before them, many of the Reformers willingly gave their lives so that YOU could have the Holy Bible. The Catholic Church literally hunted these courageous men down, imprisoned them, tortured them, and murdered them.
The only reason we have the Bible today is because (1) the Jews wrote it and passed it down, and (2) the Protestant Reformers gave their lives to translate it and print it into English.
So, no. I’m not grateful to the Catholic Church. The Catholic Church is an enemy to God and an enemy to the truth of His Word that sets souls free.
Stress this point: I am NOT necessarily talking about Catholics—the people. God knows and I know that there are plenty of Catholics who are genuinely wonderful people, and I thank God for them.
I’m talking about the Catholic Church itself—the institution and the religion. I’m talking about that theological abomination that has the blood of untold numbers of faithful servants of God on their hands.
Thank God for the Jews and the Protestants! Without them, we’d still be chained to the pulpit of the Catholic Church and left in spiritual darkness.

I categorically reject the premise that American presidents have been subservient to Israel.
The historical record does not support it. Every administration has made consequential decisions based on American interests. And they were decisions Israel strongly opposed.
Truman maintained an arms embargo while Israel fought invading Arab armies. Eisenhower forced Israel to withdraw from Sinai. Nixon constrained Israel after the Yom Kippur attack. Reagan condemned Israel’s destruction of Iraq’s nuclear reactor. George H. W. Bush prevented Israel from retaliating against Iraqi missile attacks and withheld loan guarantees over settlement policy. George W. Bush demanded an Israeli withdrawal during Operation Defensive Shield. Obama negotiated the Iran nuclear agreement over Netanyahu’s objections. Biden paused a shipment of heavy bombs during the Gaza war.
Therefore, I reject the entire “subservience” narrative. It is historically false, and factions on both the left and the right are validating it and therefore continuing this never ending stupid narrative.
No. America has not been subservient to Israel. The historical record disproves it. Israel is an ally, not our sovereign.
Reject the narrative instead of accommodating it.
Unless of course the truth doesn’t matter anymore to anyone.

The government could confiscate every penny of Elon’s wealth and it wouldn’t even cover ONE YEAR of interest payments on the national debt.
I don’t want to hear whining about the wealthy from politicians who waste trillions of our tax dollars every year.

When I was Muslim, I used to ask Christians:
“If Jesus was really God, why did He eat, sleep, and bleed like us?”
And honestly, I used to ask it with pride like it was some unbeatable argument.
But later I realized something:
That question was not exposing Christianity.
It was exposing my misunderstanding of what kind of God Jesus claimed to be.
Because the real question is not:
“Why would God become weak?”
The real question is:
“What kind of God would willingly step into human suffering at all?”
Islam taught me about a God who was distant and untouchable.
But Christianity introduced me to a God who stepped into hunger, exhaustion, grief, pain, betrayal, blood, and suffering with us.
And suddenly His humanity stopped feeling like weakness to me.
It became proof of love.
If Jesus ate, it means He came close enough to experience hunger beside us.
If He slept, it means He embraced the exhaustion we carry.
If He bled, it means He did not stand above suffering watching us from a distance.
He entered it Himself.
Philippians 2 says Christ emptied Himself and took on flesh.
Not because He stopped being God, but because He wanted humanity to finally see what God is actually like.
And it turns out God is willing to suffer for the people He loves.
That changed everything for me.
Because every other religion demanded sacrifice from humanity.
Jesus became the sacrifice Himself.
And no prophet in history ever claimed that.

It's been a while since I reminded you that if you have recently turned Israel-skeptical, anti-Israel, isolationist, or anti-Jewish, you have been taken by Leftist and Islamist psyops designed to produce that result. You probably don't like being a useful idiot, but you are one.

Israel is one of the only Western-style democracies that remains aligned with the values of the United States.
Most European countries have betrayed Western values and are being strangled by bureaucrats, radical leftists, and Islamists.
Israel is one of our only allies not allowing themselves to be overrun by leftists and Islamists.
Yet I don't see anyone throwing a fit about the support of the United States for these gross European countries.
Only Israel.
This is completely backwards. It is a completely inverted perception of reality.
Why?
Why do you condemn one of our only allies that shows a willingness and eagerness to still fight against the dark forces that are overrunning civilization almost everywhere else?
