Sage advice from @barnes_law Is GOP too donor-dependent to take it? 🤔
Keys to GOP revival by 2028: 1/ Get out of Iran War asap; 2/ Quit propping up Ukraine war w/ Ratboy at CIA; 3/ Go full throttle on #MAHA; 4/ Enforce immigration laws against big corporations; 5/ Release all Epstein files & prosecute. Edge: Dems will take the bait on 2-4.

🇺🇸 🗳 No one can say @Peoples_Pundit didn't warn you.
My September 23, 2026 oped for Burn It Down on @RCPolitics attempted to warn Republicans of impending disaster. It was trending on X for two days. They did not listen and it played out exactly as I warned. It was simple math. You can't win elections governing for Boomers and Fox BoomerCons. As it turns out, "What the Polls Say Young Americans Really Want" DOES matter, even in midterms. Wait for the post-election op-ed. Stay tuned. realclearpolitics.com/articl…

Disgusting? Yes. Surprising? No. Our Sept 2025 #DemocracyInstitute @10NewsAU (Australia) USA poll: 21% said political violence is OK. 1 in 3 Democrats gave 👍 to violence.
Podcasters Jennifer Welch and Angie Sullivan can't stop laughing at the thought of digging up Charlie Kirk's corpse and "doing it" again to him. After laughing for 30 seconds straight, the women falsely claimed that Tyler Robinson was a 'MAGA person.' They will celebrate your death, laugh uncontrollably, and still be fully convinced they're the "good guys."

And for that particular sin, our "Emperor Has No Clothes"-esque 'leaders' will never forgive her.
She broke the narrative that Ukraine are the good guys

As I told @mattgaetz, the first step for the American Right is to address the damage to their brand by removing neoconservatives from any and all prominent positions of influence. Voters did NOT vote for neoconservatism. Everyone HATES it and will not vote for them, again.
“Millennials and Gen Z voters… will NEVER join the coalition if neoconservatism has a leading voice… THEY DON’T SUPPORT IT. END OF STORY.” Big Data Poll director @Peoples_Pundit says the neocons are finished. Americans have thrown them out of the GOP, and they’ll never lead a winning Republican coalition again.

Western media will hide this story as long as they can.
A torture chamber of Zelensky was uncovered near Kiev, where over 40 mobilised men were held captive by Ukraine's National Guard. The youngest victim was reportedly just 14 years old. There is now great outrage and riots in Ukraine against the henchmen of Zelensky and NATO.

Essential, hard truths from @Peoples_Pundit
Charlie was right. Look at the map. The "Revenge of Massie" is ALL over the map. Politics is a game of addition, not subtraction. What people have been describing as "loyalty" is obedience and sycophancy. "Loyalty" was opposing Iran to avoid this ending for the President.

Absolutely brutal but correct analysis from @PatrickBashamDI in @timesofindia. For years, I've always found it remarkable how Patrick more deeply understood the Trump Coalition than so-called rightwing consultants who pose as red-blooded Americans. Btw, MAGA Inc get fired yet?
My @timesofindia column assesses where Trump & Republicans went wrong - and what their comeback entails.
