We are banking on an army of patriots to show up, make their voice heard, and put America first.
Texas, TODAY is your last chance to vote, make a plan, and bring a friend to support our great Republican candidates.

“The concept of time for us is very limited. That is why, predominantly, if not uniformly, we are a very tardy culture.”
@NickJFreitas and Franck Zanu discuss how language shapes cultural norms.

Firstly, that’s not what happened. See Ambassador Huckabee’s response.
Secondly, hot take, but I don’t actually care. Some Arab living in Palestine is trapped in his sand war, but because he’s a dual citizen with an American passport, I have to SUPER CARE about this? The guy isn’t a tourist. Nobody told this “American” to move to the West Bank. I’m pretty sure the State Department warns against it, actually.
I have Palestine fatigue, Tucker. I don’t actually care about your sand war.
Ambassador Huckabee, this is unreleased video of an American who was beaten almost to death last week by Israeli settlers. You know his name because he came to you for help, but you blew him off. That’s disgraceful. Do your job.

Almost embarrassingly late to post, but you should read Charles Kesler's reflection on Dolly Parton's life, service, and humility.
A very good way to get your day going. claremontreviewofbooks.com/a…

It's seriously incredible that Christian scholarship since the mid-1970s has consistently shown our faith to be historically reliable and most people don't even know about it or care.
It’s really wonderful seeing young and innovative leaders like @JaceYarbrough step up.
Truly remarkable.
Civilizations don't survive just because they were once great.
They survive because each generation understands what it has inherited—and passes it on.
We are not running to keep the status quo. We're running to defend the American way of life, our inheritance, that has been attacked by political insiders and corrupt politicians for the last sixty years. And we need your support this November 3rd to preserve that American inheritance.
It was an honor to join Vice President @JDVance at his rally today.

“areas that historically report after 3 a.m.”
Michigan Election Night Preview (8pm, 9pm polls close)
Operations
Michigan counts votes very slowly. Fewer than half of all votes may be reported by midnight, and a substantial number may still be outstanding at 3 a.m. Detroit often does not finish their Election Night reporting until around 9 a.m., and that doesn't even include ballots counted after Election Night in the trail period. Absentee ballots and votes from more Democratic-leaning areas often are counted last, making results in the early morning look more Republican than the final outcome.
It’s crucial to keep this Republican mirage in mind during the early morning hours. Even if El-Sayed trails by 2–3 points at 3 a.m., he could still be favored to win, depending on where the remaining votes are coming from. If they are concentrated in areas that historically report after 3 a.m. as we expect, he would be favored to make up about 3 points. Democratic areas in Wayne, Ingham, Saginaw, Kalamazoo, and Washtenaw counties, along with Flint, often report last. Even at 6 a.m., votes from Detroit and other late-reporting areas could still be outstanding and help El-Sayed gain ground.
Key races
Michigan Senate: Abdul El-Sayed (D) faces Mike Rogers (R). Michigan was Trump+1.4 in 2024. VoteHub rates this race Lean Democratic, favoring El-Sayed to win by 3.3 points. El-Sayed, a progressive, defeated Haley Stevens in a contentious primary. Rogers, a former representative, narrowly lost to Elissa Slotkin in 2024, even as Trump won the state.
Michigan Governor: Jocelyn Benson (D) faces John James (R). Michigan was Trump+1.4 in 2024. VoteHub rates this race Likely Democratic, favoring Benson to win by 8.6 points. Benson is favored to succeed Democratic Governor Gretchen Whitmer, as Democrats expect the blue environment to help them hang on to the governor’s mansion in a state Trump won. James, a current representative, lost two statewide races in 2018 and 2020 and is hoping for a better result on his third try.
MI-04: Bill Huizenga (R) faces Sean McCann (D). The district was Trump+5.5 in 2024. VoteHub rates this race Tilt Republican, favoring Huizenga to win by 2.2 points. Huizenga has historically been a strong candidate, running more than 6 points ahead of Trump in 2024. However, he faces a challenge in this western Michigan district, which includes Kalamazoo and is likely to vote for Benson at the top of the ticket. He will likely need to outrun James to keep his seat.
MI-07: William Lawrence (D) faces Tom Barrett (R). The district was Trump+1.3 in 2024. VoteHub rates this race Tilt Democratic, favoring Lawrence to win by 2 points. In this district centered on Lansing and the surrounding area, Republican incumbent Tom Barrett is hoping to hold on even as Benson is heavily favored to win it at the top of the ticket. He is hoping that progressive insurgent William Lawrence will prove weak electorally, giving him an opening to win over swing voters. Lawrence, and national progressives, are hoping that a resounding victory in the seat will prove progressives can flip seats from red to blue and run close to the top of the ballot while doing it.
MI-10: Christina Hines (D) faces Mike Bouchard Jr. (R). The district was Trump+6.5 in 2024. VoteHub rates this race Lean Democratic, favoring Hines to win by 2.8 points. Hines is hoping to flip this open seat centered on Macomb County, a working-class suburban area outside Detroit. Our forecast currently has both Benson and Rogers winning the district, meaning the House race may come down to candidate quality.
Anakin and the blight of the sensitive young Zoomer.
The prequels have always been immensely underrated by professional “consensus setters” who spend too much time on Reddit.
@JohnDoyle explains why perfectly in this clip.
“This is literally the most realistic depiction to date, possibly of all time, of what it is like when you are a young Zoomer interested in a young Zoomette.”
@JohnDoyle explains why the relationship between Anakin and Padmé in the prequels resonates so much today.

One of my new favorite things I’ve seen on here are the guys comparing themselves to Anakin Skywalker, like @JohnDoyle.
Go sensitive young man, go!

Thank you to @JohnDoyle for reacting to my question to James Fishback!
As John said and as I’ve previously said, no one is trying to “rush” the trial. Even if we didn’t know who killed Charlie Kirk, we should still be seeking swift justice for both the benefit of the victims and the good of society as a whole.
“Because the sentence against an evil work is not executed speedily, therefore the heart of the sons of men is fully set in them to do evil.”
Ecclesiastes 8:11
People who are anti-voting are tone deaf and stupid.
“I'm not one of these guys whose like anti-voting, by the way, I think that stuff is really tone deaf and stupid.”
@JohnDoyle explains why voting is the most important thing you can do to advance political wins in America.
This is an honorable death worthy of a state funeral.
