Last year I was determined to make a contribution to America's 250th Anniversary. This documentary, The Thread of Liberty: Keeping Our Republic, is what came of that desire. I've posted it here in its entirety, as well as at threadofliberty.com. We have an incredible nation, the first ever rights-based government in the history of the world in which the people are sovereign. We should appreciate it and, more importantly, love it. But loving requires understanding and then restoring. There is a great deal to celebrate and there is also a great deal of work that lies before us if we're to restore the republic. One of the central questions for the future of the American Republic is do we still feel an obligation to our experiment in free government? I believe one of the places that we renew the obligation, and begin the restoration, is with a rebirth of instinctive patriotism. I sincerely hope this documentary plays a role in that rebirth. Keep America Free.
This is the least surprising thing I’ve ever heard. . . Also those making some of the accusations were also paying people to make political posts as it was and is their entire business model.
Exclusive: The right-wing activist Laura Loomer has been paid by private clients to make political posts on social media without publicly disclosing the payments, according to a former Trump campaign aide and others familiar with the arrangements. wapo.st/4BPQbL5

What are you children going to do about it? Also, who are you? Show your faces and tell us how you are going to control who gets to be a Republican.

Marc Thiessen did more to elect socialists and antisemites to Congress than any living person.

Everyone who has enriched themselves at the expense of our nation should be prepared to receive no sympathy, none, from the American people.
And they don’t deserve any.
Not really sure what benefit it is to have one of the most potentially, for sure strongly suspected, corrupt Trump folks currently under investigation to talk about. . . Corruption. Though I can see the angle of perceived expert on said topic.
"I think what we need to do is have a post-mortem analysis, a full forensic audit, of where all the money went and if people took the money that they weren't supposed to. I'm not saying they did, but if they did, then they should be held accountable."

Any credible allegations of corruption must be fully investigated, and those responsible must be held accountable.
The America First movement will have no credibility if we tolerate corruption in our ranks while we criticize and prosecute fraud committed by Somali fraud rings and other criminals.

At West Point, George Custer and Thomas Rosser were close friends. Custer was the class clown from Ohio who racked up demerits. Rosser was a big, tough Texan everyone liked. They pulled pranks together and spent their free time together.
In May 1861, just weeks before graduation, Rosser resigned and went south to join the Confederacy. Custer graduated last in his class and went straight into the Union army.
Over the next three years both men rose fast. By 1864, at just 24 and 28, both were cavalry generals.
And in October 1864, they found themselves facing each other in the Shenandoah Valley.
Rosser had been sent to stop Union cavalry from burning the valley. He'd been calling himself the "Savior of the Valley" and was hounding Custer's rear guard every day.
On October 9th at Tom's Brook, the two old friends lined up across from each other.
Before the fight started, Custer spotted Rosser through his field glasses. He rode out alone in front of his men, swept off his hat, and bowed to his old classmate.
Then he charged.
Rosser's line collapsed. His men fled so fast and so far that Union troops nicknamed it the "Woodstock Races." The chase went on for roughly 20 miles.
Custer's men captured Rosser's headquarters wagon, including his personal baggage and his dress uniform.
So Custer put it on.
He wore Rosser's Confederate coat around camp, then sent his friend a note across the lines. He thanked him for the gift and asked if Rosser could have his tailor make the coattails a little shorter next time.
The war ended six months later, and the friendship survived it.
In 1873, Rosser was chief engineer for the Northern Pacific Railroad, surveying a route through the Yellowstone country. The cavalry escort assigned to protect his crews was the 7th Cavalry, led by Custer. The two old friends spent that summer together on the plains, swapping stories around the campfire.
Three years later, Custer was killed at the Little Bighorn.
As the newspapers started picking apart his decisions, one of the loudest voices defending him was the former Confederate general he'd once humiliated at Tom's Brook.
Thomas Rosser stood up for his friend until the end.

🚨 McCarthy to RNC Chairman Joe Gruters: STEP BACK
@SpeakerMcCarthy: “If you were at the head of the House, the Senate, or the RNC, you shouldn’t ask to stay, you should step back.”
“What happened last Tuesday is bigger than a loss. This is a generational loss.”
“Don’t make the president make that call. You should step back right away.”

Joe Rogan just hosted his most important episode ever after Republicans lost the midterms as White House insider Calley Means just exposed the real people who are running Trump’s presidency and lists key inner circle names like Susie Wiles, Jame Blair, Richard Walters, and the most powerful lobbying firm known as Ballard Partners:
MEANS: “Susie Wiles is the most powerful chief of staff in modern American history. She has taken a stranglehold on any policy decision. No policy decision gets done without her office giving it the okay. She was one of the top lobbyists in the country. It is impossible to describe to you how demonic this culture is.”
CONTEXT: Means, who resigned from the administration in OCTOBER, says he witnessed an extraordinary concentration of power inside the White House.
He alleges that cabinet secretaries and senior officials spent enormous amounts of time attempting to win favor with Wiles' office because of its influence over which policies could advance.
He then identifies several people he believes were central to that power structure:
SUSIE WILES: White House chief of staff.
JAMES BLAIR: A longtime Trump political strategist and former deputy White House chief of staff.
RICHARD WALTERS: Deputy White House chief of staff and longtime Republican political operative.
WALKER BARRETT: Senior White House adviser with extensive congressional experience.
But the most consequential part of his accusation concerns the CORPORATE LOBBYING INDUSTRY.
Before entering Trump's White House, Wiles had a career representing corporate clients, including working at the influential Washington lobbying firm BALLARD PARTNERS.
And the money involved in that industry is staggering.
According to federal lobbying disclosures, Ballard Partners collected approximately $88 MILLION in lobbying revenue during 2025, more than QUADRUPLING its reported revenue from 2024.
That made Ballard one of the highest-earning lobbying operations in Washington.
And in MAY 2025, the watchdog organization Public Citizen identified SIX FORMER WILES CLIENTS that had reported lobbying White House offices during the administration's first three months.
Those clients included companies involved in tobacco, automobiles, fertilizer, and other major industries.
The White House disputed suggestions of improper influence and said Wiles generally did not participate in meetings or decisions involving former clients.
Those disclosures establish real corporate lobbying relationships.
They do NOT, by themselves, prove that Wiles improperly favored those companies or directed policies for their benefit.
But Means argues that the broader culture of Washington is precisely what Trump promised to confront.
Now consider the extraordinary political timing.
IMPORTANT NOTES: On NOVEMBER 3, Democrats won control of BOTH CHAMBERS OF CONGRESS in a sweeping midterm defeat for Republicans.
And TODAY, NOVEMBER 6, Trump announced that Susie Wiles will leave the chief-of-staff position, with Stephen Miller taking over on November 9.
Trump PRAISED Wiles for her service and said she would continue working for his political operation.
Pretty obvious.

Someone finally said the quiet part out loud.
At the White House under Susie Wiles, policy principles were secondary to the midterm strategy, and the midterm strategy was doing whatever the corporate donors wanted.
We can all see how that turned out.

I knew all of this but still unreal. . .
Calley Means reveals fruit-flavored vapes became the White House's top health priority
"He would argue that approving vapes was a core midterm issue...This is the top issue among these people for all of health."
MEANS: "There's significant money flowing around to some of the folks that I mentioned from the vaping industry. It's a massive industry. And it's also the big tobacco guys are really getting into this and funneling a lot of money to Ballard. So, it was well known at the White House. I don't know if I think it's Ballard, but one of the top firms, but it was well known. This is a tagged issue that this was a big one. These guys are donating to the various causes. They're hiring the right people."
"You know, it was, in my opinion, the single most prioritized issue at HHS among any health issue for James Blair, who really has a stranglehold on policy. Policy has to go through him. So I'm talking like Medicare, health access, food, anything at HHS. This was the top issue for the White House. And the issue was to get a better pathway for fruit-flavored vapes."
ROGAN: "Oh my god."
MEANS: "And there's a law from Congress that says before any FDA approval, you need to have a study saying that this isn't harmful to kids. And Marty Makary, who was fired, was pounding on this, meeting after meeting. He wasn't getting called up to talk about our dietary guidelines reform or healthy food or anything that Bobby Kennedy talked about. And James and other people, they said this is where these guys, being immersed in this world and being the gatekeeper on policy, but also the midterm strategy... He would argue that approving vapes was a core midterm issue, that young men, that your listeners, I guess, really want their fruit-flavored vapes. And this was an emphatic argument."
"So this is the problem, right? When you have these people in charge of the polling, in charge of the policy, and they're using the midterms as a reason to jam vaping. And I'm thinking, well, geez, I helped..."
ROGAN: "I have never heard that once."
MEANS: "The number one issue is..."
"That's the... I'm not... This is the top issue among these people for all of health."

Hmmm so who runs and continues to run Dept of Ag, worked w Susie to destroy Proj 2025, previously hired Heidi Overton, and is in bed w the same lobbyists? Axing Susie isn’t enough. Brooke needs to go too if we’re going to get anywhere on immigration & MAHA.
Calley Means Says Susie Wiles Pushed for Glyphosate Getting Liability Protection
MEANS: “Susie called Bobby's office and said, ‘We're not discussing this’ … and it was announced the next day.”
ROGAN: “How is that possible that something that's known to give people cancer gets liability protection?”
MEANS: “It's indefensible.”
