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.

Now the truth finally comes out that the state of New York wants the Amish people‘s properties and land so they can build their data centers. How disgusting 🤮  The Amish of Central New York told the seditious Governor Kathy Hochul they would pack up, abandon their farms and leave if the Governor tried forcing vaccines on their children. The Governor fined them over $100,000 and demanded they comply anyway. When the Amish decided to fight back, taking the wicked Governor to court, Hochul's minion Senator Fahy drew up even more legislation to pressure them to leave, attacking their children again, this time through an anti-homeschooling bill. Tens of thousands of acres of cleared Amish farmland are at stake. The Amish have spent decades clearing their land by hand and horse. The hard work has been done. But if the Governor has her way, the Amish will be forced to sell that cleared land to the solar farms and data centers knocking on the doors for it. Who will help the Amish stand up to this maniacal Governor? We need to expose this on social media and we need to get the right people involved to represent the Amish and help them fight This evil demonic power and control of New York.

More than five centuries ago, the son of a wool weaver from Genoa sailed westward to widen the boundaries of the known world. Across a vast and punishing Atlantic, the voyage exhausted the patience of its crew, but never the conviction of its captain. Christopher Columbus kept going. Two hundred and fifty years after America’s founding, we still marvel at the restless spirit of discovery that revealed the New World to the Old. President Trump has defended Columbus against the radical left’s campaign to erase his legacy. Now, Columbus again stands where he belongs – within the great procession of figures who shaped our national story. Happy Columbus Day. Sail On.

As if Talarico’s campaign isn’t already having a bad day, a New York Times report released Sunday says dozens of TikTok accounts were paid $4 per 1,000 views to post positive clips about him. The company behind the payments is Frontier Media. Naturally his campaign says it had nothing to do with it. The money Frontier Media used to pay for pro-Talarico social content had to come from somewhere. These paid “clippers” weren’t a tiny side effort. They accounted for nearly a quarter of the Talarico-related videos the Times looked at in a 24-hour window. The money’s source is still unclear and Frontier Media has no visible FEC filings. The campaign’s denial is noted, but the volume of paid content is not. Follow the money is the obvious course of action. Between today’s blockbuster mental health facility claims and now this NYT article on paid support for Talarico, it’s unthinkable that his campaign survives the week let alone a debate or election. Organic support is one thing. A network of accounts getting paid by the view to flood the platform with positive clips is another. Voters can tell the difference. The appearance of a spontaneous online army collapses once the payments are documented. That’s what the Times just did. It should be mentioned that a man in the U.S. just got sentenced to jail for artificially creating consumption of his AI songs on streaming services. There should be similar penalties for artificially creating support for a political candidate, without disclosing it, on social media. The fraud is for profit. In the streaming case financially, in the Talarico case politically and also financially. Both are clearly immoral and should be criminal.

I have to give Talarico a little credit. Most Democrats refuse to acknowledge they’re mentally ill.

🚨 BREAKING EXCLUSIVE: Ohio mental hospital CONFIRMS James Talarico was discharged from the facility earlier this week The “flu” thing was a BIG FAT LIE Following reporting by @SaraGonzalesTX and @CarolineWren, a hospital employee told @RheinAmacher and I that Talarico had in fact been a patient at the Lindner Center of Hope near Cincinnati, Ohio, which specializes in around-the-clock mental health treatment. While I sympathize with those dealing with mental health crises, this man is CLEARLY not suited to become a US Senator representing over 30 MILLION TEXANS. The job doesn’t get easier after being elected — it only gets MORE stressful. And Talarico clearly can’t handle it. I pray he gets the help he needs, but Texans need a real representative they can rely on.
Readers added context they thought people might want to know
Lindner Healing Center has refuted this They have made a statement that James Talarico has never received treatment at Lindner Healing Center x.com/lindnerctrhope…

No, Zach Lahn is not funded by the Kochs-- or any corporate PAC money of any kind. In fact, since day one, Zach has been the only candidate in this race calling out corporate consolidation in industries like agriculture. He's also the only statewide Republican that hasn't been endorsed by the Farm Bureau due to his positions on water quality. Watch him dispel the myths from Rob Sand and his cronies. 👇

Corn is for food. Petroleum is for fuel. People who want to use corn for fuel should have every right to do so. But no one should be forced to do that, and no one should be made to pay for those who do. The federal ethanol mandate adds 30 to 45 cents per gallon to the cost of gasoline. It costs American consumers tens of billions of dollars a year. It’s a form of tyranny that must end. And it doesn’t stop at the pump—the diverted corn raises prices on just about everything else, including groceries.

Iowans, everytime you hear @TheDemocrats babble about “costs”, remember this - nitter.cf/EricLDaugh/status/2108…
🚨 JUST IN: In a stunning development, new calculation reveals Democrats' 2026 midterm platform costs $49 TRILLION DOLLARS and requires a +40% PERCENT federal income tax surge if the socialist programs are to be paid for Read that again...VOTE RED OR WE ARE COOKED! 🤯 SEN. MIKE LEE: "If voters elect a Democrat House or a Democrat Senate this Fall, and especially if that's followed up by a Democrat wave in 2028, it will devastate the American economy, not just the economy, but it will devastate in particular America's middle class and working poor." Yet another reason that there is no excuse for staying home or not voting red this November! Every working family in America would feel this. There's no "tax the rich" plan that covers $49 trillion. Lower taxes and a growing economy, or a 40% tax surge and communism. That is our choice now! President Trump is on the campaign trail again TODAY because he knows we can't withstand this BS.

Those opposed are your mind numbed followers. The more Islamo-martyrs the better. Their stock depreciates with every execution. And we don’t need to wait for new supply. There’s already a backlog in our prisons.
Only 29% of respondents think televising the execution of a killer who considers himself to be a martyr will discourage other “martyrs.” Setting aside morality and emotion, I’m concerned that increasing the notoriety of self-described martyrs could encourage copy-cats.

On other words, it’s a ruse by Vance.
I do not have a black pill reputation We need incremental improvements But there is something we should pay attention to We should see how the India media is taking the Green Card freeze as we weigh the impact. Read the Times of India on the green-card freeze and you can stop calling it a smackdown. October 8, Vance and the Labor Department suspended PERM for Microsoft, Adobe, Cognizant, Infosys, Tata, Wipro, HCL, and Capgemini. No new filings. No pending ones. Vance said no company abused the system more than Microsoft. About 6,000 American layoffs. About 6,300 H-1B approvals. Nearly 3,000 green cards. He called the replacements foreign indentured servants. India's paper did not write a funeral for the program, it casually mentioned there's now a delay. Existing H-1B visas stay valid. Nobody gets walked to the airport. The stamp that turns a temporary seat into a permanent one is paused- that's all. Vance said the pause lasts as long as it needs to. The law states it can be for up to 6 months no longer. Microsoft answered that 80 percent of its filings were extensions for people already inside. The Times printed that answer next to the accusation. Not mentioned. On the same day, same building where Vance was denouncing Microsoft. Trump put a medal on Satya Nadella, the India-born Microsoft chief. Morning, the company is the worst abuser of the visa pipe. Evening, the chief executive is a national treasure. The Times noticed. One line making the rounds there: a foreign worker is a problem on a green-card form and an honoree at the podium. That is not panic. That is a paper that read the order and saw the limit. The executive branch froze a form for a handful of companies. It did not rewrite the statute. Congress still has not passed a law. The job is still filled with an H1B. The green card is the only part on hold. If the country that sends most of the workers is treating this as a paused application and oh look a medal ceremony! Americans should not treat it as the end of the pipeline.

Never forget the empire he walked away from — the private life, the wealth, the peace he could have kept — to drag the machine into the light. And never forget the years they tried to break him for it: the lawfare, the smear, the endless trials, all because he refused to play their game.

Abdul El-Sayed’s mom raised money for Osama bin Laden. His father was in the Muslim Brotherhood and his sister was on the terror watch list. There is nothing Islamophobic about calling this out.

Let’s add to this list: Gavin Newsom, JB Pritzker, Iowa Public Radio, every major group that opposes family farms, and extreme-left radicals—all support Rob Sand. Perhaps worst of all, his billionaire in-laws are trying to buy the governorship with a $13 million donation—the largest campaign donation in Iowa history. #IAGov

The survey did not have one question on water quality or environmental factors - which I believe are key Iowa issues. So instead of filling out a survey I met with their group, heard stories from survivors & shared my plan to end the cancer crisis in Iowa.
Only one candidate for governor filled out the cancer questionnaire from the American Cancer Society.

We can actually just ban this. We don’t have to permit public satanic prayers in our government buildings. It is Christ or chaos. We will have Christian Nationalism or we will have satanic pagan nationalism. Which way Western man?
HOLY SH*T @City_of_Ottumwa in Iowa opened up their most recent city council meeting with a prayer to SATAN. "Let us pray. Dear dark father... HAIL SATAN" WTF is wrong with these people???

Iowans, let ur Amish friends know Dems r coming for them. There’s no more putting your head down & hoping it passes. Their Faith proves Dems are wrong and that can’t stand. JoCo, Wash, Davis, Buchanan, Wayne need to vote @IowaGOP On the day Kirk shot- nitter.cf/Yodertoter40/status/21…
New York Democrats have declared WAR ON THE AMISH. Thanks to their unconstitutional attack on religion, they're now able to fine EACH unvaccinated Amish child $2,000 EVERY SINGLE DAY. ⠀ The $118,000 bill is one day, not the cap. Three one-room schools alone already owe that much for 59 children, at $2,000 each. ⠀ Health Commissioner Mary Bassett imposed it on December 15, 2022. She called the sum conservative because it assumed only one day out of compliance. ⠀ Dygert Road was billed $52,000 for 26 children. Pleasant View was billed $46,000 for 23. ⠀ Shady Lane was billed $20,000 for 10. ⠀ Footnote 9 of the Second Circuit opinion records the state's view. Each day an unvaccinated student attends is a fresh violation and a fresh $2,000 fine. ⠀ Another day for those 59 children is another $118,000. A 180-day year at that rate is about $21 million, and the families say they cannot pay the first bill. ⠀ Joseph Miller, Jonas Smucker, and Ezra Wengerd run the schools. The schools sit in Clymer and Heuvelton, plus the Canajoharie settlement, and take no public money. ⠀ They had a religious exemption for decades. On June 13, 2019, Democrats repealed it after measles spread through Orthodox Jewish neighborhoods in Brooklyn and Rockland County. ⠀ Governor Andrew Cuomo signed the bill. Governor Kathy Hochul left it in force. ⠀ A parent may not excuse a child for faith. ⠀ Senator James Skoufis said the exemption was made up and fake. Assemblyman Jeffrey Dinowitz called it utter garbage. ⠀ Counsel Aaron Siri told the New York Post the families can pay only if the state takes their land. Some in the community have talked of leaving the state. ⠀ The case is Miller versus McDonald. The Second Circuit ruled against them on June 30 in 2026. ⠀ A Supreme Court petition was due around September 28. Make sure EVERYONE sees this. If WE don't stand up for these incredible men and women - WHO WILL?!?!?! ⠀ Where is the “my body my choice crowd now”?
