Charlie Kirk supported Dave Chappelle after Dave was attacked on stage
And predicted what would happen if left unchecked
And look how Dave Chappelle repaid him

I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again:
The GOP doesn’t know how to fight. They don’t know how to roll up their sleeves and get their hands dirty.
You had two years to send people to jail. Omar should have been arrested, prosecuted, and deported. Tlaib should have been afraid and lawyered up. Pelosi should have been forced out. The Clintons should have been arrested.
You had two years to pass the SAVE Act, twist whatever arms on the SCOTUS to fix the loophole in the 14th, and codify the cuts in DOGE.
Instead, they sat on their hands and congratulated themselves over other people’s victories. No outreach. No change. No building on 2024.
Don’t worry, though… the Democrats are about to put on a masterclass in getting power, keeping it, and maintaining it for the future. Texas was just the first step.
If the GOP doesn’t learn from this, our country is doomed. We can’t have Madame President Ocasio-Cortez in our White House.

There's a saying on American social media:
"Be the American that Japanese people think you are."
I'm Japanese. I've lived in Tokyo my whole life.
So let me tell you what we actually say about you, when you're not in the room.
"When someone falls down on the street, we pretend not to see. We're protecting their pride. Americans run straight at them. They don't care about the pride. They care about the knee." (Office worker, 38)
"An American will stop four lanes of traffic for a family of ducks. And then everyone in the cars claps for the ducks." (Taxi driver, 61)
"If you lend an American a pen, you will never see it again. If you need a kidney, they'll ask your blood type." (Nurse, 45)
"At kids' soccer games, they cheer when the other team's kid scores. The other team's parents look confused. Then they cheer too." (Youth soccer coach, 52, lived one year in Ohio)
"A man sneezed on a bus in Chicago. Eleven strangers said 'Bless you.' He said 'thank you' eleven times. Nobody on that bus thought this was strange." (University student, 21)
"At an airport in Texas, I watched a soldier try to pay for his lunch. The cashier said someone already had. He asked who. She said, 'Somebody who didn't want you to know.'" (Retired teacher, 70)
"American fathers cannot braid hair. But they will watch a video at midnight for an hour so their daughter's hair looks right on picture day." (Hair stylist, 33)
"I ran the Chicago Marathon once. Strangers stood in the cold for hours holding signs for people they will never meet. At mile 20, a man I'd never seen read the name off my bib and screamed it like he'd raised me." (Runner, 48)
"When Americans get lost, they ask a stranger. If the stranger is also lost, they become a team." (Tour guide, 39)
"They ask the waitress her name. And then they remember it." (Restaurant owner, 66)
And one more. From my father. He's 76. He doesn't say much about anything. This is the longest thing I have ever heard him say about another country.
"Every time something terrible happens in America, I watch the news, and I look for one thing.
The people running toward it.
There are always so many."
So, America.
You don't have to become the Americans we think you are.
We're not imagining you.
We're remembering you.

We're in a new era of communication, and only one side seems to be living in it. The old guard consultant class is about to be relegated to the dustbin of history.
If you think that high prices lost the election for the right, you don't understand marketing. Humans have no problem paying a premium for a good quality brand. Notice the word "brand", not "product". Are Nikes better than New Balance? Nope. But the brand is better. And notice what happened when they tinkered with the brand and screwed their core narrative? Nike stock fell through the basement. Did the product change? Nope. The brand did.
It's not the product, it's the brand. Results don't sell the product, the storytelling does. Will these newly-elected commies lower prices? Of course not. Are they gonna get you free healthcare? No, your insurance is gonna get even worse, just like it did the last time they tried socialized medicine. They're not going to do anything they've sold you, but...like Saul Goodman said: if you're committed enough, you can make any story work.
The committed storytelling of a couple insane podcasters was enough to fracture an entire political coalition from their own side in less than 2 years...they have zero power, zero credibility, they've never actually governed anything nor produced any results, but...they're good storytellers, and that's all that matters. Are they telling a good story? No, it's atrocious, but they're telling their atrocious story effectively and compellingly.
It is 100% true that everything's too damn expensive, and we all know that inflated prices are always sticky. Does anyone know that it's entirely the result of shutting down the global economy over the flu and (both naive republicans and democrats) printing infinity dollars for several years? Nope...because nobody has effectively told that story, and it's an unsexy story to tell. "Free stuff!" is a VERY easy story to tell, and when everyone's gotta take out a second mortgage just to pay their insurance premiums, "free healthcare" is an unbeatable story. It doesn't matter that "free healthcare" doesn't exist and socialized medicine is a terrible product...it's not the product, it's the brand. And "FREE!" is a great brand.
You can't get mad at people for having the financial literacy of a 9 year old. I mean, you can, but they outnumber you a million to one, so it's not going to be productive. You need to figure out how to make an unsexy story sexy, or else the "free stuff!" crowd is going to eat your lunch every time. If you give people a choice between earning a six pack on a treadmill or taking Ozempic, they're gonna choose Ozempic...they don't care about the side effects. If you give people a choice between fiscal discipline or free stuff...guess what they'll pick? They don't care about the side effects.
With projected growth of 5%, the economy right now is stronger than it's been in generations. Is that the story you hear? Nope. Is that the vibe you feel? Absolutely not, especially when every time you fill up your gas tank, it feels like a diesel enema.
It's not the product, it's the brand. A great product can fall into oblivion with bad messaging...a single bad review from one effective storyteller can tank a restaurant. The "influencer economy" is lucrative for a reason; everybody inherently understands the importance of effective storytelling...except the right. Zohran Mamdani gets it...he has an army of influencers on staff. In a perfect metaphor of this transitional phase of old guard vs new wave political messaging, Zohran nuked the Vice President into oblivion with maybe the biggest ratio in the history of the internet. By simply posting the subway assistant meme, Mamdani got 2 MILLION likes, quoting a post from the VP that had only 10K likes. If you're reading that sentence thinking "this is fucking ridiculous, you're talking about social media likes as political analysis now?"...you are the problem.
Yes, this stuff matters. Rizz matters. The President did a masterful job of this kind of retail politics in his historic 2024 campaign...you can be angry that this is what politics has been reduced to, but you can either adapt or die.
"No the problem is, you didn't deliver enough for the American people!" Are you a moron? Since when does anybody care about that? What have democrats delivered for Californians in the last 20 years? Unmitigated wildfires, homeless drug zombies everywhere, roads that look like Fallujah in 2004...people don't care about results. They think they care about results. That want you to believe they care about results, just as Nike wants you to believe their shoes are better than New Balance...but at the end of the day, all people really care about is the swoosh.
Adapt or die.
Guys, I hate to break it to you, but most political advisors are so bafflingly incompetent, it would make your head spin. All the talented communicators go work in Hollywood or at Saatchi and Saatchi, and these political bros never tap these agencies for help...I've connected several campaigns with literally the best marketing geniuses in the game, got them discounted rates, even...and they just never even bothered calling. It truly feels like a lot of consultants and candidates just want to lose.
You ever wonder how my ads went so massively viral, but there's not been a single candidate who's come close to it? It's their dumbass advisors. I didn't go with any political advisors, and they were SO mad about it. I partnered with a filmmaker and marketing wizard, instead of political grifters. Why? Because I wanted our messaging to be effective. Political ads suck. Nobody watches them. I wanted people to want to watch my ads. The fact that nobody else understands this is...I honestly don't know how to explain it, other than they want to lose.
There are a bunch of candidates who love it when their party loses power. It takes all the heat off them, because then they can't be expected to pass legislation when they're in the minority, plus they can fundraise way better off of the rage when the opposition is running roughshod over the country. Baffling to watch.

ARMY FIRING SQUAD EXPLAINER
How will the Army shoot Nidal Hassan? Well, the current regulation doesn’t specify the process. The Provost Marshal General will have to come up with a plan. The plan will have to be approved and survive a court challenge; below is how it was done in the past.
If I was advising @PeteHegseth, I would recommend that he direct the Provost Marshal to adapt the old plan with modifications (because that piece of garbage is in wheelchair). I would also do some deeper research to see if these procedures had ever been successfully challenged in court, or better yet, upheld. The plan will undoubtedly provide the basis for one of the frivolous flurry of last minute appeals and petitions designed to keep that trash breathing.
Planning considerations will include the large number of witnesses, because victim and next of kin get to be there. I would probably do it out on a remote firing range with berms that would screen it off from outsiders, but where there would be plenty of room for witnesses – maybe even seating. I would be alert to the possibility of drones.
I would also consider issuing M14s to the firing squad. A 5.56 mm round would probably do the job but why take any chances? Go with 7.62 mm. I would also see that the firing squad trained, trained and trained again. You want it like clockwork, and if somebody’s going to falter, you want find out before the big day. I would have at least five alternates and an assistant NCOIC.
Another challenge would be selecting the firing squad. You’re going to have a lot of people volunteering for it. I would consider providing preferences to soldiers at Fort Hood on the day of the murders. You need to screen out nuts and weirdos, to the extent that @secwar’s policies haven’t already done that. You’re looking for squared away troops who are willing to take on the job because it’s a job that needs to be done; while people wanting a piece of this guy is understandable, this has to be done coldly and professionally.
One final note – there’s no Christa Pike problem under the old procedures. If the volley doesn’t kill him, the squad sergeant shoots him in the head with his pistol. He should be issued an 1911A1 .45. Again, maximize the chances of success.
I say we stick with tradition.

All of this judicial due process bullshit is designed — deliberately intended — to collapse the system. It makes me so angry. The Autopen deliberately flooded our country with 20 million illegals OR MORE, and each of them is supposed to get a court hearing? It's impossible.

No Jews in the buildings, the Jews did it, the government did it, jet fuel cannot melt structural steel, it was controlled demolition, the planes were actually cruise missiles.

Masoumeh Ebtekar - also known as "Screaming Mary" - was the spokeswoman for the Islamic terrorists who stormed the U.S. Embassy in Tehran in 1979 and held 52 Americans hostage for 444 days - subjecting them to beatings, starvation, and mock executions.
In 2014, the Obama Administration granted visas to her son and his family to enter the United States. In June 2016, the Obama Administration gave them lawful permanent resident status via the Diversity Immigrant Visa Program.
This week, I terminated their lawful permanent resident status and today, Seyed Eissa Hashemi, Maryam Tahmasebi, and their son are now in the custody of U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement pending their removal from our country.
Her family should never have been allowed to benefit from the extraordinary privilege of living in our country.
America can never become home for anti-American terrorists or their families - and under the Trump Administration, it never will.

I was dicing tomatoes this morning when my four year old daughter Moana ran into the kitchen with tears in her eyes
“Daddy,” she cried, “did you hear Scott Pelley’s contract with CBS News was terminated?”
I nodded.
“And now his loyal audience won’t be able to see him present the world’s most compelling stories in the nation’s top rated weekly news magazine, will they?”
I reluctantly nodded again.
“Even grandma?”
With that, I lost it. We threw our arms around each other and sobbed.
