"Selecting JD would be a signal to the neocons in DC that the era of endless war is coming to an end. You can’t back door me through the vice president anymore because he has the same worldview of Trump.”
Want to know why Marc Thiessen, Mark Levin, Fox News, Israel First Influencers, and all other NeoCons are trying to take out @JDVance? Because he's the end of the their political influence forever! #Vance2028

The midterm election was not “won” by Democrats.
It was lost by Neocons who destroyed a nationalist, populist America First movement on purpose.
Neocons are the enemy of the American people and have been for decades.
Treat them like a cancer politically.
All they do is destroy

“Influencers” used to be a genuine asset for the Republican Party. Most promoted candidates and policies organically, as a side interest rather than a career. When paid promotions happened, the amounts were modest and the content stayed aligned with the party’s agenda. Most of these people had full-time jobs outside politics.
That has changed. Over the last few years, large amounts of money, from special interests and foreign sources, have flooded the space. Influencing has become a full-time profession for many, and loyalty has shifted from the agenda to whoever is writing the check.
A clear example is this campaign against President Trump’s tariffs on India. Accounts that built their audiences by aligning with the MAGA movement quickly turned against a core policy of that movement. The most plausible explanation is that they were paid to do so by interests lobbying for India.
This pattern isn’t isolated. We’ve seen right-wing influencers attack Robert F. Kennedy Jr. and the MAHA movement for criticizing soda companies. We’ve seen influencers who long opposed the Ukraine war reverse course and call for the U.S. to send Patriot missiles to Zelensky. The list of such reversals keeps growing.
I used to help identify deals for influencers and know this industry well. I never accepted money from foreign governments or companies, or from any domestic interest that opposed the movement I supported. Too many others were willing to sell out.
Nearly a year ago I concluded that the industry had gotten out of hand. Since then I’ve been using what I know to work with lawmakers on both sides and with government officials to strengthen disclosure requirements for paid political content.
I’m not trying to put influencers out of business, but paid digital advocacy is modern-day lobbying, and it should require disclosure. If you’re paid to promote protein bars, you have to label it a paid partnership. If you’re paid to support or oppose a political issue, no disclosure is currently required. That double standard needs to end.

Loomer is not retiring her show because she believes America is hopeless. Loomer is retiring her show because it reveals how unpopular she truly is without all the artificial MAGA bot boosting, like she gets here on X.
That, and shes too cheap to pay her production team.
After Charlie Kirk was murdered, Trump turned to Loomer to keep him in the loop on the temperature of his voter base.
So what did she do? She cheered on Trump’s bombing of Iran, filled Trump’s head with lies about his base wanting war with Iran, and let him off the hook on Covid accountability and on mass deportations.
The damage is done, and now Trump has learned first-hand how unpopular Loomer and her positions truly are.

It’s crazy that in the history books written about the Trump presidency and how he destroyed his once in a generation political coalition will be quotes like this, where Lindsey Graham tells the WSJ that he worked with Israeli intelligence and talked to the president like a toddler in order to sell him on the catastrophic war

The three strikes that led to the 2026 election bloodbath:
1. The War in Iran
For 10 years Trump has ran on 'no new wars' and fixing affordability for regular people. This is why every demographic in America swung hard to the right in 2024, but especially the working class. Americans are exhausted. We wanted price relief and the wars to end. America has been at war for my entire life. Gulf Wars, Afghanistan, Syria, Iraq...Enough. But we got a new war and higher prices. Every gas station sign was a billboard against the Republican party.
2. GOP Does Nothing When They Get Power
Voters gave Republicans a control of The White House, the Senate, the House and the Supreme Court. What did we the GOP do with it? Nothing. No DOGE cuts. No SAVE Act. No reduction of spending. No stock trading bans. No COVID vengence. No defunding of wars. No mass arrests. Some good stuff has been passed, but ask a regular voter if they can name anything. Members of Congress should try this at their local gas station...
3. The Murder of Charlie Kirk
Charlie Kirk was a historic unifier who brought together a coalition like no one else in politics. When he was assassinated, that coalition shattered. Charlie was indispensable in getting out the youth vote, but more importantly Charlie was constantly signaling good policies for independents and young people to the White House. Yes, Charlie would have hated the war in Iran. Charlie was constantly working behind the scenes so steer the President away from policy disasters. Also, when he was assassinated, people didn't see immediate consequences for the violent left-wing demons who killed Charle. People wanted revenge. Raids. Mass defunding of the forces responsible. The inert response left people deeply discouraged. We needed action and focus. This should have been the Charlie Kirk 'Never Again' election. It was sadly the opposite. His absence was the size of a crater on the moon in in 2026.
In summary: Ban Neocons, do what you say you're going to do and avenge Charlie by making the sole focus of Republicans for the rest of my life:
-Homeownership
-Cheap gas and groceries
-Good jobs, strong economy
-Closed border
-Family creation
This is what people vote for. This is the only way out.

2028 is lost.
Zionists are the biggest threat to our future.
Time for President Trump to deal with Iran once and for all. Just do it.
Nothing to lose now.
Finish the job. @POTUS
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.

For those who are shocked by the governor upset in Texas, let me remind you:
Under Abbott, Texas added around 477k new lawful permanent residents in just the last four years.
Where did they come from?
Largely, tech startups that are full of HB-1 labor.
That labor happens to be 70-80% Democrat.
That level of immigration is more than enough to erase the GOP margin in Texas.
Immigration is why Texas lost every statewide race.
Abbott went after big business then got himself voted out.

This is unbelievably pathetic, dishonest, and cowardly, but it's the angle that the neo cons are taking. Trump launched a pointless and unpopular war. People like this were cheerleaders for it. We told them it would be a disaster and we were right. And now that we've been 100 percent vindicated and proven correct, the very disaster that we warned against and predicted is actually our fault because we failed to "frame the Iran war as necessary." It's not Trump's fault for launching the war. It's not his fault for failing to make a compelling argument for it. It's not the fault of the people who promoted the war and waved their pompoms for it. No it's our fault for not ignoring our own convictions and obediently getting in line with Trump and doing what he tells us. Yes the responsibility to make a persuasive argument for Trump's war falls not on Trump himself or on the war's biggest fans but on the conservative critics of the war. This is so deluded and cultish and backwards that I want to say I'm shocked, but I'm actually not shocked at all. These people will twist an contort themselves into any shape to avoid any and all accountability. Pathetic. Grotesque.
The messaging from conservatives like Matt Walsh over the last 6 months is a major reason the GOP lost control of Congress.
Matt Walsh and co. have the platform to frame the Iran war as one that is necessary, but chose to undercut Trump and help Democrats.
The conflict with Iran is not pointless. Iran had the time, the intent, and the resources to build a nuke. The point of the war is to remove the time and/or resource variables.
Ignoring the nuclear Iran risk would not have made the problem disappear.
Rather, it would have just deferred the issue to the next president—a far less capable commander in chief.
That Trump handle this issue now, rather than leaving a nuclear-threshold Iran for an AOC, Harris, or Newsom administration in 2028, is in our best national interest.
Trump’s “no new wars” stance reflected a preference against open-ended nation-building and wars.
It didn’t mean he’d pretend Iran didn’t have the time, intentions, and resources to create a nuke and kick it to a less capable president in a few years.
