Alright America, it’s time for us to fly back home to Germany. 🇺🇸🇩🇪 We can’t lie, we’re really, really sad to leave. What an incredible trip this has been. So many new experiences, so many places we’ve visited and so many amazing people we’ve met along the way. We’re just incredibly thankful that we even had the opportunity to do something like this. We know that being able to travel for this long is far from normal and we don’t take any of it for granted. This entire trip turned out to be even better than we could have ever imagined. We’ve been talking about how much we’d love to just keep traveling. Another few weeks on the road, Christmas in America, going to the College Football Playoffs. If we could, we’d do it without thinking twice. A few people have asked us whether it ever gets tiring. Driving for hours almost every day, constantly changing hotels and always being on the move. And the answer is: Not at all. Even after all these weeks, we were still just as excited about exploring this country as we were on day one. There wasn’t a single point where we felt like we’d had enough. We genuinely enjoyed every part of this adventure. We also really hope you guys enjoyed following along as much as we enjoyed sharing everything with you. Meeting so many of you at stadiums, on campuses and in random places across the country made this trip even more special. Those are memories we’ll never forget. And then there’s college football. What started as something we were simply curious about has turned into a sport we’ve completely fallen in love with. My two travel buddies are even seriously considering joining an American football team back in Hamburg now. One wants to become a kicker, the other a cornerback and start intercepting passes, haha. We’ll see how that goes. I don’t really know what else to say. These past weeks have just been incredible and I wish we could do it all over again. Thank you to everyone who welcomed us, helped us, showed us around, gave us recommendations or simply followed our journey. You made this trip even better than we could have ever imagined. Until next time, America! 🇺🇸❤️

President Trump defunded much of the Censorship Industrial Complex, but around the world, its power is growing. Within a few years, the most intolerant people on Earth could control the Internet. This is my warning to the world.

The Susan Wiles revolving door of treachery. Susan Wiles worked for Ron DeSantis. Susan Wiles was fired by DeSantis for leaking information Susan Wiles found her way to the Trump world with the help of very important friends in high places. Those friends threw a wedge between two good friends turning them against one another that being Trump and DeSantis. Once that wedge was established this RINO gang went to work on a vulnerable Don Jr selling him on you got it, JD Vance The Trump-DeSantis ticket was destroyed before it ever got started. The scheme was to sell Vance to Don Jr who then sold it to Trump. Vance then took back the years of badmouthing Trump and said it was a mistake Trump bought it because Wiles sold Vance as an up and coming rock star that will only benefit your presidency The Trump-Vance ticket was official Wiles was sold on Trump Vance was sold on Trump. As for the elite RINOs? They got their in woman in Susan Wiles a proven leaker and master manipulator They got their Pence in Vance Vance played the game until the midterms where he ended that game and started his separation from Trump by blaming the Iran War on Trump. Note how he never once spoke negatively about the War and actually held peace talks with the Iranian’s Once Vance’s blame game wasn’t received well in fact it may be his ending, he did a 360 and is looking to save grace for his 2028 run. This was an orchestrated, well designed game of manipulation to catapult Vance for 28. Vance fucked it all up by opening his phony mouth. Now the best thing that can come out of this is Vance is done. Wiles got screamed at by Trump before she left. Don’t believe the bullshit about Wiles leaving graciously just to move on from her post and to work for Trump in another capacity. That’s the game of politics. Never make it look like your administration is in trouble. All for show and tell They were both caught. Their plan exposed and now we know why we never got any of the accountability this country is starving for. The manipulative Susan Wiles, the same Wiles who was working on bringing Pete Hegseth down. Trump went scorched earth when he found out Enter the closer. Trump’s number one confidant. Stephen Miller. It’s Miller Time! All of a sudden the Dems and the media are scared shitless! Now without someone who was supposed to be your top advisor, manipulating you and giving you false intel, maybe we can get back to the game plan starting with accountability. Now we all know what Hegseth meant when he said Patriots are now in control. These are going to be a helluva last two months and a historic next two years. Let the games begin! It’s Miller Time! My two cents

There it is. The donors. The GOP donors are the biggest impediment to enforcing our immigration laws. Always have been.
"Horrible decision." GOP Rep. Marlin Stutzman isn't holding back after President Trump names Stephen Miller his new White House chief of staff, a move that has several House Republicans furious following the party's midterm losses. Multiple GOP lawmakers tell Fox News Digital they wanted Miller fired, not promoted, arguing his hardline immigration policies damaged the party's standing with voters, particularly in Latino communities. One Republican even calls Miller a "megalomaniac," though the lawmaker also argues he isn't solely responsible for the election losses. The White House is defending Miller's record, but lawmakers are revealing what happened when they confronted him behind closed doors. foxnews.com/politics/house-g…

Btw, go read the comments on their Insta post. Most of their followers think they shouldn’t have apologized/they have nothing to apologize for. It’s depressing how depraved some people have become. instagram.com/p/DfccVkGtTDe/…

Every word of this.
Ron DeSantis explains why the GOP "screaming socialism" doesn't work anymore: "Young people have a very positive view of socialism compared to capitalism. The question is, why is that? Some of it is the education in our universities. But I think a big part of that is, what they're comparing is not free enterprise versus socialism. What they're comparing is how government gets involved in business, and you have crony capitalism. The best kind of indirect supporters of socialism are some of these corporatist republicans who propagate these crony policies. The average person is seeing that and saying, 'Wait a minute, you're trying to bend the government to funnel benefits to this corporation or that industry. What about having a competitive market? ... Young people really aren't seeing that. They're seeing just a handful of companies that have an outsized influence on our economy and on our society"

This dangerous, violent, eliminationist rhetoric against the new White House Chief of Staff, who already had to move his family onto a military base due to Democrat threats against him and his family, must be condemned. Hakeem Jeffries must be censured.
Stephen Miller is a dangerous xenophobe and reckless extremist who has American blood on his hands. His presence in government should be eradicated like a malignant tumor. Fire him today.

Two years ago today I became a Republican. I was so excited and inspired by the 2024 wins, I realized I had become a conservative in my heart. Today, my heart is so heavy. I can't believe what just happened. I'm angry at so many people (looking at you, JD), and deeply concerned at how many people are blaming the Jews. Does this make me want to return to D..? Absolutely not. We conservatives have a long, hard road ahead. We may never win again, but we can still fight like hell, and stand up for what we believe is right. I will continue to fight for Western values, the American Dream, liberalism in its true form, and free market capitalism. We face threats from abroad and within. We will need all the strength we can find.

Romney attacked me during Covid as an “authoritarian” who was “more dangerous than Trump.” This was during the time when I used my power to protect people from the largest incursion against liberty in our lifetime — restrictions and mandates that Romney supported. Blocking local governments from imposing covid mandates/restrictions is not being an “authoritarian”; it is liberating people from government overreach by city and county officials. Florida is better for our efforts, and the country would not have been liberated had we not led. Claiming to be “severely conservative” and then smearing the one guy who delivered the conservative wish list across the spectrum shows him to be a phony. Better than Obama but he would have given us managed decline that accepted the assumptions of the left and bowed to criticisms of the legacy media.
Replying to @RonDeSantis
This is very disappointing. Also, if you want to win, you will probably need the support of conservatives who have noticed in recent years that Romney is conspicuously not a squish when most of the Rs in the Senate were.

With all due respect, the number of times I spoke with Paul Ryan from my election as governor through the 2024 campaign: zero. And Mitt Romney was attacking me back then because we beat Disney on gender ideology and he is a corporatist. Try demonstrating a little more discernment next time someone is peddling bullsh— to you.
Now THIS is the Ron DeSantis that I wanted to see on the National Stage the last time he ran for President, but didn’t deliver on! Unfortunately, he allowed Mitt Romney and Paul Ryan advise him back then, when Americans knew how RINO’ish those two were back then. So there advise made him look like a fool. But now, his confidence is back … “I saw NO INDICATION that Republican senators were interested in doing conservative change! WHY haven't we done immigration, SHUT OFF H1B visas?! WHY haven't we CODIFIED Trump's immigration executive orders?! Why haven't we STRIPPED jurisdiction from the federal courts over deportation cases?! There's SO MANY THINGS we COULD HAVE DONE." "THEY DIDN'T EVEN ATTEMPT IT." "They say, 'oh, if only we needed 50 votes we would've done it!' YOU DON'T HAVE 50 VOTES. You NEVER SHOWED you'd do conservative things, even with 50 votes! [RE: filibuster]...I NEVER saw an indication that they'd do it." "This midterm was a rebuke of the president and Congress...BUT, a LOT of our voters stayed home because they were FRUSTRATED with the LACK of productivity from Republicans in the House and Senate." We definitely deserved better from our Senate, something John Thune did not want to deliver. Now, we need to repair and win in 2028, or Democrats are destroying America!

Holy crap, look at Massachusetts
Voter registrations in states without proof of citizenship requirements. 20 million new voter registrations between 2022-2024. 37 states did not require documentary proof-of-citizenship when registering to vote.

Read this.
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.

Please give as many interviews as possible right now Governor DeSantis. Inject all of this straight into my veins.
DeSantis on the Ohio race: “They beat Vivek like a drum. I don’t know why they pushed him to be the candidate there. Ohio is a working-class state. Vivek is a tech guy who wants to bring in foreign workers.”

🚨 WOW. Gov. Ron DeSantis is GOING OFF right now post-blue tsunami: "I see the ad, 'so and so voted against releasing the Epstein Files.' I'm like, that's a bad vote. We ran as Republicans saying we need to do that. And you have people in Congress voting against release when the Attorney General said she had all the all this horrific stuff on her desk and that people are gonna be held accountable?!" "It's untenable when you have people going in trading stocks! I've never traded stocks since I've been in elected office. How do you have no investment acumen, and then all of a sudden get elected to Congress, and then you're outperforming Warren Buffett?" "I saw how they were running and it was a rejection of what was going on in DC."

Absolutely spot-on. The midterm bloodbath for the GOP was NOT a rejection of common sense conservative ideas like border security, free markets, or ensuring that schools educate children rather than force-feeding them radical gender & racial ideologies. It was a rejection of the elites who make concrete promises to win votes, then break those promises the moment they get into power in Washington. Instead of delivering on their promises of transparency and swamp draining, they voted against releasing the JE files while profiting off insider trading. Millions of Americans didn't vote for Democrats this week, but they couldn't bring themselves to vote for Republicans either, and we need to be honest with ourselves as to why that is.

Barack O’bomber bombed so many countries he ran out of bombs. His base didn’t care. People vote for the brand, not the product.
I’m old enough to remember Obama starting 5 separate wars and Democrats still showing up in droves to vote for him.

This is why the left wants to get rid of the electoral college. So 3 cities can dictate the national election.
Kathy Hochul “won” New York.
