Friday thoughts: Maybe groceries are so expensive because 42 million people get theirs for free. Just a thought.

After the election

🧵 THREAD: The true reason Pete Hegseth is being targeted is because he's standing between President Trump and a coup @PeteHegseth named the institutions... CFR, Brookings, the general class... in 37 seconds in a video by @Liz_Wheeler . Within 72 hours of his nomination, a color revolution planning document cited him as an insider threat. They didn't go after him because of drinking. They didn't go after him because of women. They went after him because every color revolution manual ever written says the same thing: you cannot topple a government unless the security forces defect. And a loyal Secretary of Defense is the one person who makes sure they don't. I have the receipts. Their own documents. Their own training sessions. Their own words on camera. As always, patience as I pull together the thread. 👇

We asked AI to show America without any Republicans.

🚨 EVEN IN BLUE STATES: Voters in Arizona, Nebraska, Colorado and Washington all passed measures keeping men out of women's sports. Nebraska went for it at nearly 68 percent. Arizona passed it 58.9 to 41.1. Colorado did it in a deep blue state during a blue wave. Washington followed. Democrats spent millions telling voters this was not an issue. Voters disagreed everywhere. They can have the gavels. We kept the girls' locker rooms. GOOD.

Your great-grandmother never did any of the things keeping you healthy, and she lived to see her grandchildren's children. She never counted a calorie, because the word had not reached the kitchen. She never drained a pan. The fat went into a bowl on the cold shelf for tomorrow's eggs. She never bought a fat-free anything, because the shop did not stock an absence. She never ate little and often. She ate when the work was done and until she was full, twice. She never trimmed a joint. The crisp fat was the piece the children fought for. She never owned a bottle of oil. She owned a tin of dripping and a dish of butter, and the butter lived on the table. She never skimmed the milk. The cream came off the top and went on everything. She never read a label, because there was nothing on the back of a chop. She never once feared the sun, a sausage, an egg, a cheese or a roast, and she never once had anything to confess in January. Everything she did is now a heresy, and everything she never did is on a government graphic. Eat like her. She was right the first time, and the second, and the third.

I'm not a pollster or pundit but if I had to guess at tomorrow's outcome I'd say it's more likely than not going to be a Red Wave. It might not be a tsunami, it might be just a baby pool kind of wave, but it will be enough. Maybe that's just wishful thinking because I'm in the belly of the beast in Minnesota. But I also think Americans are a lot smarter than the politicians and the string pullers give us credit. And, I think we're waking up. Slowly, reluctantly, but it's happening. You can feel the change. You can feel people realizing what is at stake and understanding - finally - what it is we risk losing. I have faith in this experiment set forth by our Founding Fathers. I have faith in the system, even though it seems clunky and messy at times. But I especially have faith in my fellow Americans, I believe they want to keep this republic.

What happens to the thousands of violent, illegal criminals caught by the NYPD in their justice system? Many are released back on the streets, not to be caught until they've harmed many more citizens.

Tell me the reasons why you’re voting straight-ticket Republican tomorrow:

Leftists: "The far right is uneducated." Me: *working on my second masters, planning for a third.*

On October 30, 2026, during an ICE enforcement action in Morristown, New Jersey, a federal agent physically engaged Alexis Brown, who was blocking an ICE vehicle. Video shows the agent, wearing a vest marked “POLICE ICE,” approach Brown; she then ends up on the pavement. She later stated that the agent body-checked her, knocked the wind out of her, and that the force felt disproportionate to her size. The agent told her it was a crime scene, directed her to leave, and provided only the identifier “13937 DHS” when asked for his name. Do you believe the agent’s response was appropriate for maintaining the perimeter, or did it cross into excessive force?
