Trump’s speech last night was interesting and important, but far less impactful than it could have been. As expected, it played right into the cheaters hands by making it too much about him.
If he kept it to the actual crimes and highlighted the lack of security in future elections, he’d have won over more RINO’s, Independents and moderate Democrats.
Today’s the day Elizabeth Warren and Bernie Sanders need to stop posting about Elon. Tesla stock dropped 7% today after reporting higher delivery numbers than expected (go figure)
With that drop, Elon Musk is no longer a trillionaire. Whatever will they post about now.
Does anyone else realize that the progressives are very upset that our country (USA) is no longer stuck in the 1960’s after today’s Supreme Court ruling.
For the first time since then, non-white citizens are finally legally recognized as the equals they have always been; no longer being the beneficiary or the victims of special rules.
When I read all the anti-Trump Iran focused articles in the press, especially when there is a positive outcome that would have been emphasized when Biden was president, I’m reminded these publications take their cues from the democrats.
This means both the democrats and the media are willing to side with Iran over America just because Trump is President.
That’s sick!
If you’re against abortion, you hate women.
If you’re against massive, unvetted immigration, you’re racist.
If you don’t want men in women’s sports, you’re transphobic
If you don’t want life altering surgery on healthy but confused children, you’re even more transphobic.
If you want voter id, you hate democracy
If you drive a Tesla, you’re a nazi.
Most of you get the point by now.
Does anyone realize that Congress is literally in gridlock with Republican senators facing off against a Republican controlled House?
In my opinion, there are almost no republicans in the Senate.
With the Republican Senate in full Benedict Arnold mode, November is becoming very simple. Either Trump find a way to turn the Senate into true America First conservatives or he calls them out individually. Otherwise, the blue wave will be larger than people think.
I suspect nearly every Senate race has the potential to could go blue. Then the filibuster won’t even matter.

Thune is not a RINO. He was a Democrat sleeper cell. No leader with an ounce of conservative principles would have allowed this let alone engineer it.
When I read the NHTSA upgraded their investigation into Tesla FSD was based on 9 accidents in poor visibility, I immediately thought someone with a departmental contact is making lots of money shorting the stock.
9 accidents nationwide in poor visibility? How many more accidents would occur with manual driving given the same number of miles driven.
I suspect Trump came into office with a long checklist. Lots and lots of domestic priorities along with foreign goals like peace as often as possible but also other global priorities that have long plagued peace in the world, like Iran.
He began his presidency rapidly addressing his domestic items, but the only way he could get them done quickly were through executive orders.
Then his enemies mounted their counter-attacks. First, and somewhat effective was the frivolous lawsuits supported by judicial activism. But for the most part, this only slowed his progress because it took time for appeals to reverse the judgements. Eventually, however, the real enemy had to expose themselves.
The Republican Senate ensured he would get nothing done. They won’t confirm his appointments, they won’t pass his legislation, they won’t even let grand juries investigate their friends.
So Trump turned to his foreign agenda. I don’t think he could stand the thought of being neutralized by his own party. Venezuela was first. Most screamed but it was over quickly and very successfully. Now it’s Iran. Not so quick and success is still unknown, but almost everyone is screaming and, based on MSM reports, Iran is on the verge of at least a stalemate.
And in the end, here I am trying to figure out what’s happened to my country that there are so many domestic institutions working against it.
How can anyone trust GROK on anything political when its most trusted sources are overwhelmingly biased left and have been proven to report similar half truths and lies as often as the truth?
On certain issues, I’ve argued with GROK, got it to admit its initial recap was at least partially biased because of wording, but it still gave the same basic response.
GROK is probably better than most, but it’s far from trustworthy when politics is involved.
It’s official. I no longer think releasing the Epstein files was a good idea. Both sides are simply making up storylines every time they find an opponent’s name mentioned.
Someone sends an email, maybe Epstein, maybe not, and that person is summarily declared guilty by half the country. If these sleazy people mentioned a name to the FBI, that person is equally as guilty, maybe more so.
People, those involved with Epstein (not the victims) knew the game and knew they had to create enough confusion to cover their legal issues. You can’t take anything at face value. The only winners will be China, Russia and other US enemies because our current level of divisionwill be supercharged, all without real evidence.
So I apologize for pushing for their release. It was naive thinking they would clearly point to the bad guys.
Watch this video. Grok insists this cop shot at a fleeing vehicle. Grok consistently sides with the left’s point of view regardless of what’s obvious. What do you expect knowing it’s “trusted” sources.
It might be relevant that the first of these suits were filed immediately after Charlie Kirk was murdered. If guilty, have at the pastor, but the timing is awfully suspicious. Make of this what you will.
⚖ Here are the list of lawsuits against Pastor Greg Laurie and Harvest Christian Fellowship alleging sexual abuse of children. This is who Erika Kirk and TPUSA is partnering with on her make Heaven Crowded tour. Thanks to @Rissajohns
With this initiative, I now believe that machines can be used to flip votes. I never believed it before, but anyone wanting fair elections, or even if the believed it impossible for machines to flip votes, would never even think this is a good idea let alone important.
I now believe, after all the riots and all the calls to save democracy, that democrats may have cheated in the past but certainly plan on cheating in the future.
ELECTION INTEGRITY: Days after taking power, Virginia Democrats rushed to ban hand counting. HB968 mandates machine scanning only. If elections are secure, why eliminate independent verification?
HB968, filed January 13, 2026, requires all machine-readable ballots be counted exclusively by scanners. The bill, pushed by Democrat Marcia “Cia” Price, removes a key transparency safeguard. Voters are asking why banning hand counts was prioritized over voter confidence or audit expansion.

ALT Just days after taking control in Virginia, Democrats moved to shut down hand counting of ballots. House Bill 968, introduced January 13, 2026, mandates machine scanning for all machine-readable ballots & explicitly bans hand counting. The bill was introduced by Democrat Marcia Price. The speed of the move raises immediate questions about transparency & why restricting verification was a top priority.
And republicans are against the Save Act why?
Democrats now control the legislature and Governor's office in Virginia.

Forget about volcanos and wildfires, Chinese coal plants and private/commercial planes, cow farts are THE existential threat.
I’ve surmised, without proof, that all these western countries criminalizing what was free speech were somehow invented to do this by China and possibly wealthy anti-westerners like Soros. It’s every country’s right to to partner with any country they choose, but to side with China in the “New World order” shows a level of commitment I don’t believe their populations voted for.
🚨 HOLY SH*T! PRIME MINISTER MARK CARNEY JUST SAID IT OUT LOUD 🚨
“I believe the progress that we have made and the partnership (with China) sets us up well for the New… World… Order.”
Not rushed.
Not off the cuff.
He pauses between every word - New… World… Order - like he wants it to land.
This wasn’t code. This wasn’t a slip. This was said out loud, on camera, deliberately.
Why are leaders suddenly comfortable saying this out loud… and what happens next?
After all, what business does the federal government have checking the eligibility of people voting in federal elections. React private you must, but the basic data is needed.
JUST IN: A federal judge in California – the same judge who said in 2022 that Trump had likely committed crimes in his quest to subvert the 2020 election — rules DOJ's demand for voter data from the states is "unprecedetened and illegal" and appears designed to disenfranchise voters. storage.courtlistener.com/re…
Multiple truths can exist at once. It’s a tragedy that this boy was hurt this badly. It’s equally true that putting yourself in harms way sometimes, and somewhat randomly, results in your being harmed.
Some will say he was obstructing, others will say he was only protesting. It seems he was actually doing both, but I suspect reasonable people don’t believe he deserved this outcome.
21-year-old activist injured by ICE:
I will be blind for life. I have fractures in my skull that they can't fix. I can't sneeze or cough because it's dangerous to. They pulled a piece of plastic the size of a nickel out of my eye. I had shards of metal, glass, and plastic behind my eye and in my skull. They said it was a miracle I survived.
