The day before Thanksgiving 2024, Chuck Schumer, Hakeem Jeffries & their GOP co-sponsors secretly met with the Israel lobby to discuss a plan to bury the Antisemitism Awareness Act (IHRA censorship bill) in the “must pass” 2025 NDAA
Everyone was onboard with the bill to censor Americans from criticizing Israel.
Lucky for us, partisan infighting between the Senate and House over other issues prevented them from including it.
These two Israel shills now want to lead the House and Senate. Hell No!

Hey @grok, concise no spin.
Right after Diana’s 1997 death, former MI5 officer Annie Machon reported that Diana planned a global humanitarian campaign supporting a specific country and feared a plot against her life because of it.
@grok: 1 Which country?
2 What exact method did she fear would be used against her?
Country and method only.

AND THERE IT IS: Ben Shapiro takes ZERO responsibility for lobbying Trump to launch the disastrous Iran War, throws the president under the bus instead.
"I was working under the impression that the president was going to pursue war in the same way that he had pursued war in his first administration, and also in Operation Midnight Hammer, meaning go fast, go hard, finish it fast and achieve your ends—right? That is the way to actually win a war!"
"But if you decide that you're not going to win it because you want to slow down because you're worried about oil prices, and then it turns out the oil prices just bite you right in the ass again, and you exacerbate the domestic pain with no strategic explanation, it's chaos! It's discombobulation!"
Evidently, all Trump had to do was press the win button! 🤡

The Zionist Machine is trying to whitewash the reason Republicans lost. In this long article by the NYT, Israel is mentioned ZERO times.
They did the same thing when Harris lost because of the Gaza genocide.
No one is fool.

Every GOP strategist, consultant, and candidate should be forced to participate in a role-playing exercise this morning.
Your name is Bob. You’re a 49-year-old blue-collar worker in Ohio. You’ve always struggled to make ends meet. The good jobs were all shipped to China and the few remaining pay a pittance wage, undercut by endless illegal labor.
You’re a 3x Trump voter because you believed he would finally make America great again.
You put your son through Ohio State. He graduated cum laude in computer science. You couldn’t have been prouder. After months searching, he landed an entry-level job at Microsoft. Beneath his qualifications, but a good start for a smart kid.
Then he got laid off. That same month, Microsoft applied for 150,000 more H-1B visas because it can’t find qualified Americans.
Your son has spent six months back in his childhood bedroom, sending hundreds of applications without landing an interview.
On TV, Trump boasts about the greatest economy in history and how many women and minorities are finding jobs.
You decide a father-son steak night might cheer him up.
Gas is $4.50 a gallon. Filling your truck costs over $100. At Kroger, ribeyes are $30/lb. You settle for hamburger, even though 70/30 ground beef still costs $10+.
At checkout, a fat black woman is screaming at the cashier because her EBT will only cover most of the filet mignon and lobster in her cart.
You think to yourself how the Iran war has made everything expensive, but at least we’re stopping their nuclear bomb. You weren’t even sure where Iran was before you googled it after we first bombed them in March.
After dinner, you take your son to the county fair. Half the people aren’t speaking English. Virtually none of the crowd looks like you. You’re forced to leave early after a “teen takeover” turns violent. A foreign born judge pledges none of them will go to jail.
Back home, you turn on the TV. Vivek Ramaswamy is lecturing the crowd about American mediocrity and why Ohio needs more foreign talent.
Your son grows upset. You change the channel.
Now a Republican surrogate, the daughter of a governor or wife of an elderly billionaire, explains that young White men are the REAL welfare queens. They’d rather play videogames in their parents’ basements than work.
Your son says nothing. He just goes back to his childhood bedroom. You turn off the TV.
Then your neighbor starts blasting reggaeton and cracking open Modelos. He brought his cousin’s family from Mexico to help with all the minority-business contracts his construction firm keeps winning. Tonight they’re celebrating his nephew’s birth, the family’s first birthright American citizen.
You sit alone in your living room.
You worked hard, paid taxes, obeyed the law, and raised your son to do everything right. You voted Republican again and again because you believed somebody in Washington would finally fight for you.
Instead, your wages are stagnant. Groceries are unaffordable. Your community is unrecognizable. Your country is fighting another foreign war.
And upstairs, the son you sacrificed everything for is lying awake in the bedroom he slept in at twelve, wondering what the heck he’s even supposed to do with his life now.
Every time you turn on the TV, the Republicans you elected are either congratulating themselves or explaining why you and your son are the problem.
For ten years, they told you America’s future depended on your vote. Now you aren’t even sure America has a future worth defending.
The Republican Party needs to answer one simple question this morning:
You’ve spent a decade demanding Bob’s loyalty. You’ve given him stagnant wages, unaffordable groceries, another foreign war, and a son who did everything right but can’t find work.
And when they complain, you call them lazy, entitled, and racist.
What possible reason have you given Bob and his son to vote Republican? Do you honestly think you deserve their vote?

Better: We are SORRY. We're getting out of Iran, not funding Israel OR merging with them (VIA the NDAA). ALL we care about is YOU. Your economic survival, prosperity, and our culture, heritage, and language...AND your Children's future. Trump is resigning. So is Komodo Lutnick, Rubio, bobo Hegseth, Ratcliff, and that retarded crosseyed Indian. And, the Kill Shots are off the market, and all PHARMA CEO's soon prosecuted. And, I'm not pardoning ANY of them.
One of the things the data analysts on our side obsessed over was "composition"—whether the electorate looked close enough to 2024 for Republicans to win. And despite polls that showed a Democrat blowout, the data kept on telling us the same story: in some states turnout was merely OK, in other states it was downright amazing, and in no state was it catastrophic. There was a genuine sense of optimism on our team: our people were showing up.
So, I asked the smartest data guy I know, does that mean we're going to shock the world? "No," he told me. "We might do better than the polls suggest. But the data is telling us that a lot of Trump/Vance 2024 voters are pissed and planning to vote for the other guys. Our voters are turning out, but they may not vote for us."
Well, that looks prophetic now. Our voters did show up. In Florida, for example, the electorate was 9 points more Republican than Democrat, just a couple points worse than 2024. Undoubtedly there were places we could have done better on turnout. But the main problem is not turnout. The main problem is that many people who voted for Trump/Vance in 2024 voted for Democrats in 2026.
There will be a lot of infighting and arguing over what happened and why that is. One of the pollsters I really respect told me that our economic messaging wasn’t sharp enough down the stretch. I’m sure that’s true.
But the real reason we lost is obvious to almost everyone.
Another pollster—one of the smartest people I know in politics, told me yesterday we’d lose the generic ballot by 13 points. I felt negative going into Tuesday, but even I was shocked by this. In his polling, he saw that a lot of Trump 2024 voters were angry and planning to vote for Democrats. He asked those voters who had abandoned us what would cause them to come back on our team. The top four answers, accounting for nearly all of the responses were:
1) End the war
2) Focus on cost of living/inflation
3) Put America First
4) Change our relationship to Israel
Our voters showed up. And the above four reasons are why many of them voted for Democrats. This is according to a pollster who nailed the results. While many spent Monday attacking Rachel Campos Duffy for calling for a diplomatic resolution to the conflict, it turns out her political advice was sound. (She’s also a great person.)
In the next few months, there's going to be a lot of gaslighting. Expect to hear any number of establishment politicians say the solution to our woes is amnesty. I'm open to the idea that we should change enforcement—by focusing more on businesses that hire illegal labor, for instance. But anyone pushing amnesty is lying to you.
The reason we lost is the war. The president himself said so last night.
If you'd like to argue it was worth it, that losing the Senate for the next 6 years was worth it, then do so. Argue it was a worthwhile cost to pay. Agree or disagree, that's at least honest.
But everyone knows why we lost. And any honest conversation about where we go from here must start there.
I remain hopeful about our country. To the people who are pissed off and want to say, “I told you so”: you’re right, you did tell us so. Take that energy into electing Republicans who share your worldview. To the people who are just pissed at the results, you should be. Let’s take that anger and get back to the work of saving our country.

I regret to inform you of the thing we have been informing you of for months and months:
Voting in America is more and more just race math.
If highly Democrat-leaning ethnic enclaves are allowed to swell, we will become a communist hellhole.
Time will vindicate me on this issue again and again.
Reality doesn't care if you like this fact. Reality doesn't care if you find it offensive. Reality doesn't care if you want to use all sorts of euphemisms to obscure this fact.
It simply remains a fact.

Remember when President Trump called Tucker Carlson, Megyn Kelly, Candace Owens, and Alex Jones "low IQ," "stupid people," and "nasty like Majorie 'Traitor' Brown" for opposing the war in Iran?
Remember what he said about Joe Kent and Thomas Massie?
Time for a change...

It may as well be a physical law. Newtonian level solidity:
Import a huge number of foreigners who vote overwhelmingly in a particular direction and the state will move… in that direction.
Crazy, I know. But enough about Texas.

Just a reminder: $4 billion is not the amount the US gives to Israel. That's merely the absolute minimum the US is required to give each year under the Obama/Netanyauh agreement of 2016.
In 2024 alone, Biden gave Israel another $18 billion directly beyond the minimum guarantee. Then there are the tens of billions of direct costs to deploy the US military and deplete US weapons systems to protect Israel. Then there are the billions the US gives to dictatorships in the region to keep anti-Israel anger suppressed (like Egypt and Jordan).
And that's before even getting to the immense costs of the Iran War, which is being fought against Israel's prime adversary and was started at Israel's urging/insistence. Israel is by far the largest recipient of US aid for decades. The $4 billion aid package is just the start, never the end.

The sudden change of tune from people who were actively defending this administration just weeks ago is something else.
Now it’s the war, gas prices, the Epstein files, corruption and broken promises.
Where was all this outrage a month ago? You were defending it, excusing it and attacking anyone who dared call it out.
Spare me the newfound moral clarity. You don’t get to help create the mess and then show up pretending you were the one sounding the alarm.

Many MAGA folks said it was good strategy to attack young white men because boomers allegedly were the base of the GOP and would get them elected.
As it turns out none of that was true. Much of the leadership in the GOP establishment is delusional.
🚨🇺🇸 18-29 voters just swung D+35 in a single election cycle. The biggest shift of any group on the chart.
In 2024, young voters had moved R+13 toward Trump. Last night they snapped back harder than any other demographic, ending up D+22 relative to even 2020.
Two years ago, Republicans were celebrating a generational realignment. Young voters were coming home to the right. The coalition was expanding.
That story is over.
Early data points to economic dissatisfaction and backlash to Trump’s war in Iran.
But the scale of the reversal suggests something deeper, and the GOP's post-election autopsy will need to determine what that is.
Republicans spent 2024 convinced they had cracked the code on young voters.
They are going to need a new theory.

Was it worth it Greg? In a single generation you ruined Texas. And unfortunately for Oklahoma. So go we.
