Good morning! May we never forget why we have today off 🫡🇺🇸
In 2006, I was out of the Army. I had done a tour in Iraq in 2003-04 and I was sour on the Army (to say the least). I had moved on and I had a decent job, but it just wasn’t the same as being in. Then came Memorial Day Weekend: one of my best friends, @CoachDiCenzo called to tell me that his brother Doug had been killed in Iraq. He was a Company Commander and he had been killed on his PDSS. I was in utter shock. I had idolized Doug, who was a year older than me. He was a big reason why I joined ROTC coming out of high school. Our mothers worked at the same school, we played little league together, he was my teammate on the football team. He was an undersized lineman and an absolute beast on the field and the wrestling mat. He was the epitome of setting the example for others to follow. Much has been said about Doug over the years and our home town has done a great job of keeping his memory alive. None of that does justice to describe what an incredible leader, man, husband, father and friend Doug was. He was also the reason I went back in the Army. I was already feeling something was missing in my life. Doug’s death was the catalyst for me to go back in the Army. A few weeks later, I walked into a recruiting office and asked how I could get back in. By the end of the summer, I was back in. Even after he had passed, Doug still drove me to be better. RIP, brother. We will never forget. 🇺🇸🫡

My friend @CynicalPublius made his Hegseth for President case before a single vote was counted. Then Tuesday happened. He wisely issued a challenge and here is my answer. @JDVance goes 5 for 5 on Publius's own test, won Ohio while outspent 4 to 1, and carried the Blue Wall. Your move, America. Answer my friend's call for making YOUR case for who you want for POTUS in 2028. Artilce link in the comments

Four days ago Tucker Carlson warned in a long post that Trump was preparing to drop nuclear bombs on Iran. His post laid out all the "details" of the plan. The post got almost 100 million views and 400k likes and was shared everywhere across social media and MSM. Carlson warned that November 7th (two days from now) was the day that Trump would be deciding to drop the bombs. He said that there was a good chance that Trump would start WWIII, which Tucker said would be "short and final" because it would be a nuclear holocaust. This is the first video that Carlson has put out since the midterms. It's almost two hours long. At no time during this video does Tucker mention the upcoming "nuclear holocaust" that he said may be coming in two days. Think about that. In this video Tucker did celebrate the end of Trump and Trumpism a bunch of times, but there was no mention of the possible upcoming nuclear holocaust that he just warned the world about in excruciating detail. I've never seen anything like this. I'm just blown away. Tucker and many others who supported Trump in 2024 have been doing this sort of incomprehensible sabotage since early 2025, way before the Iran War started. A month into Trump's second term there were big name podcasters already declaring his presidency a failure. I know a lot of them have always hated Trump but were forced to support him in 2024 because it would have killed their brands to support Kamala. She was just that bad. I also realize that it is way more profitable to attack the person in the White House than to support them. The more outlandish the attack, the more clicks. That being said, I still don't understand this psychotic, life-consuming obsession with undermining and destroying this administration. They would never do this to a Democrat president.
The Republican Party just imploded. Here’s why it happened and what happens next.

Alabama stayed a red state yesterday. Except for Madison County (Huntsville). It’s the Austin, Texas, of the Deep South and a frightening indication of what can happen to the rest of the state if we don’t wake up.

One president cannot carry an entire party while the people running the chambers treat the majority like something to protect instead of something to use. The next two years will decide whether we keep hunting talent the same old way or finally start looking deeper. The article is blunt about what went wrong and what has to be different. Take a few minutes with it.

I don’t know what’s going to happen but I know one thing for absolute certainty… Democrats will do exactly what they said they would do. They will get vetoed. But they’ll try again. And again. And again. I know exactly what democrats WONT do… They won’t elect a Senate Leader who will slow roll or veto their own agenda. There are no Thunes in the Democrat party. They are starting right now. plotting, planning, and will 💯 hit the ground sprinting. Every Republican who didn’t pass the SAVE Act… Who didn’t go all out while we had the majority… Every Republican who stayed home and didn’t vote…. Because you thought America needed to learn a lesson… You’re sheep. And did exactly what Democrats wanted you to do

One note headed into the 2028 election….let’s have a good solid debate between Vance, Rubio, Desantis, etc. Then, lock shields and vote for the winner. No sitting out the general because your pick didn’t win the primary. The libs never do that and kick our ass. Enough.

Ten Random Election Night Thoughts: 1. Democrats in power is good business for conservative media and podcasters. Take that for what it is worth. 2. Half of Americans have an IQ of 100 or less. 3. Why is a midterm loss for the Presidential incumbent’s party so common? Are people really that shortsighted and devoid of animating principles? And I mean this in a non-partisan way. Who votes for Obama in 2008 and then helps the GOP win in 2010? Who votes for Trump in 2024 and then helps the Dems win in 2026? Are Americans really that stupidly fickle? 4. Why can’t every state count its votes in a few hours like Florida? 5. Democrat voters are like locusts. They ravage one state, escape that state to a good and decent state, and then turn their new state into the same hellhole they just left. Don’t believe me? Ask Colorado. Now, Texas, apparently. 6. Thune is happy right now. 7. The silver lining is that the Dems are going to accomplish nothing in the next two years other than to run endless, silly investigations and impeachments, which will make them look impotent and weak headed into 2028. 8. Trump is about to be unleashed. He has no midterms to worry about and he probably could care less about the campaign of the 2028 GOP nominee, JD or otherwise. “Unitary executive” is about to take on a new meaning. 9. If I was whomever is in charge of Iran at the moment, I’d be looking at properties in the Cayman Islands. 10. The legacy media still has more power than most conservatives are willing to acknowledge.

Good morning and Happy Hump Day, team! While there is plenty of complaining to do, we have no choice but to dust ourselves off and get after 2028. The libs never take a day off and last night shows what happens when we do.

Well this sucks. I’m going to rant for a few moments and then move on in a positive way. My three unvarnished thoughts on tonight: 1. Any MAGA voter who sat this out to "prove a point" to the eGOP who now lives under Democrat rule deserves what they are about to experience. 2. Trump knew Iran could cost the midterms. But he did it anyway. Because he knows that the Iranian mullahs are theocratic madmen who are trying to build nuclear weapons so they can use them on the USA and Israel, precipitating Armageddon so the Hidden Imam will arise from a well in Qom and force what’s left of humanity to convert to Shia Islam. So Trump had to choose. Win the midterms or save humanity? He chose wisely. Historians will eventually acknowledge this reality. 3. The PRIMARIES are where you make RINOs pay, not the general. Geez. So THAT’S all over and it’s on to 2028 to save America. Let’s put this behind us, pull together as patriotic conservative Americans, squash the squabbling, infighting and name calling, and get back to where we need to be. Was it over when the Germans bombed Pearl Harbor? No. No it was not. Onward to 2028…. (I’m dropping the name of my preferred presidential candidate in the morning.)

The Liberals are now communists, and they intend on staying in power forever to rule over the ashes. The Architecture of National Erasure: Inside the Left’s Blueprint for Permanent One-Party Rule Every broken border, gutted city, and crushed family budget is a deliberate feature of the progressive battle plan to strip away your independence, liquidate the middle class, and reduce free citizens to permanent wards of the state. The modern left has abandoned the pretense of constitutional governance to wage a total war of attrition against the American republic. Their agenda operates in plain sight, driven by the arrogant certainty that institutional capture has placed them beyond accountability. They openly plot to pack the Supreme Court with ideological commissars who will rubber-stamp executive decrees and liquidate the Bill of Rights. They scheme to abolish the Electoral College, reducing the presidency to a prize awarded by decaying coastal megacities while relegating the American heartland to the status of a taxed, voiceless colony. Their push to manufacture statehood for Washington D.C. and Puerto Rico is a naked power grab for four permanent Senate seats, engineered to lock in a one-party legislative monopoly for eternity. Across the southern border, they have executed a calculated campaign of demographic colonization. By halting deportations, paralyzing border enforcement, and demanding blanket amnesty for twenty million illegal aliens, they are importing a massive, dependent electorate to replace the citizens who rejected their platform. Turning Texas and Arizona into progressive strongholds is mathematical warfare designed to render conservative national victories obsolete. They mask this sovereign betrayal in the language of humanitarianism, yet the cold reality is electoral replacement on a continental scale. Their economic doctrine is neo-feudal central planning wrapped in environmental hysteria. By mandating the death of the internal combustion engine, outlawing natural gas, and tethering the world’s greatest industrial powerhouse to intermittent windmills and Chinese-made solar panels, they are engineering energy poverty by design. Tripling electricity rates and normalizing rolling blackouts are features of a system built to break middle-class independence. While coastal elites lecture working families from private jets, they push national rent control policies proven to annihilate housing supply. Driving private landlords into bankruptcy clears the field for the state to become the sole arbiter of shelter, reducing self-reliant property owners to desperate tenants begging federal bureaucrats for a roof. In the streets, they have unleashed a regime of calculated lawlessness designed to terrorize the productive class. Abolishing cash bail for violent predators, downgrading felonies to misdemeanors, and installing rogue prosecutors who legalize rampant theft have turned once-thriving metropolitan centers into boarded-up wastelands. They release career criminals into your neighborhoods and prosecute the lawful citizen who dares to defend his family. Exporting this urban carnage to suburbs and rural towns is a deliberate strategy: manufacture unbearable chaos until a terrified populace surrenders its liberties in exchange for authoritarian state control. Within the classroom, they wage a psychological campaign to sever the sacred bond between parent and child. Public education has been weaponized to inject racial grievance and gender ideology directly into the minds of the youth, conditioning children to despise their heritage, their country, and their own biology. School administrators secretly facilitate irreversible medical interventions for minors while concealing records from mothers and fathers. When parents dare to object at school board meetings, the federal security apparatus treats them as domestic insurgents. The nuclear family is the ultimate obstacle to total state loyalty, so the left seeks its systematic dissolution. On the world stage, their foreign policy is a lethal cocktail of civilizational self-hatred and financial laundering. They appease the theocratic tyrants in Tehran with billions in unfrozen assets, leave Taiwan exposed to communist aggression, and subsidize regimes that openly plot the destruction of Western allies. They bleed the American military dry through aimless, unwinnable entanglements abroad while treating the domestic taxpayer as an infinite slush fund for globalist NGOs and foreign kleptocracies. To finance this leviathan, they intend to confiscate the generational wealth of the American family. Taxing unrealized capital gains means the IRS will pillage your retirement accounts, your home equity, and your small business valuation before you ever sell a single asset. Punitive corporate tax hikes will drive remaining domestic manufacturing straight into the arms of Beijing, while a predatory wealth tax will force family farms and multi-generational enterprises onto the auction block upon the death of their founders. An economically independent citizenry resists coercion, which is why private inheritance must be eradicated. Behold the final endgame of the progressive machine: the controlled demolition of a free people. Every policy is a precision strike aimed at stripping away your wealth, your security, your family, and your vote until all that remains is a docile, dependent population that ratifies its own servitude every November. They have laid their blueprint for tyranny directly on the table. The survival of the republic now rests entirely on whether patriotic Americans possess the spine to crush this agenda and reclaim the nation their ancestors built.
