Iranians who survived the 1979 Islamic Revolution are screaming at America:
THIS is exactly how it started.
Michigan’s new Senator stood in front of the American flag, declared “My name is Abdulrahman Mohamed El-Sayed,” and turned “Inshallah” into “Alhamdulillah” to roaring cheers.
Same slogans. Same triumphant religious tone. Same “it’s just politics” blindness.
They watched their country fall in real time. They know what comes next.
The West still pretends it doesn’t.

Insufferable, arrogant prick. Speaking of Rogers, 'Hopefully we never see the likes of you in Michigan ever again.' This is a Muslim whose parents came from Egypt in the 70s telling a generational American he's no longer welcome in his home state. The Muslim mayor in Dearborn said the same thing to an American for opposing naming a street sign after a Hezbollah sympathizer. This is Islam.

You can watch this one-minute clip and arrive at one of two diametrically opposed conclusions: 1) this is wonderful as it demonstrates how inclusive Americans are; 2) this is astoundingly dangerous as it highlights some existential dangers looming in the future. Only one of those two reactions can be correct.

🚨 HOLY SMOKES. Gov. Ron DeSantis just BLEW UP and went on an America first RAMPAGE on national TV
"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."
A fire was just lit under this man.
Honestly have not seen him get that fired up in a LONG time
We definitely deserved better from our Senate. Now, we need to repair and win in 2028, or Democrats are destroying America!

No state taxes is in their constitution and can’t be chaged without 2/3 majority and Texas has republican majorities in the Senate and house. The new Democrat governor will get nothing done because she won’t be able to get anything through the state Senate.
Texans are about to be taxed into extinction. State income tax inbound. Property taxes about to go through the roof. And good luck with the 2nd amendment.
Readers added context they thought people might want to know
Texas cannot impose a state income tax on individuals. Article VIII, Section 24-a of the Texas Constitution explicitly prohibits it; repealing this requires a constitutional amendment with two-thirds legislative approval and voter ratification.

🚨 NEW: Fox’s Greg Gutfeld just made a BIG prediction about the future of the Dems following the midterms: “Democrats will over-reach. It’s going to be hilarious. Expect investigations, impeachment theater. They will have a progressive pipe dream wish list untethered to reality like you’ve never seen.”
“They will alienate the country and people like Harold Ford Jr will be rendered irrelevant. The left will govern until the party dies. The Dems have lost the house the last three out of four cycles they’ve held it. And when America gets a taste of the weirdness, they return to the fold. Two years is a blink,” adds @greggutfeld

Quick quiz.
Who threw President Trump under the bus today?
Was it:
(A) JD Vance?
(B) Pete Hegseth?
(C) Marco Rubio?
(D) Ron DeSantis?
I don't know about you but if someone is willing to throw the guy who made you into something powerful under the bus, what makes you think that same person will ever be loyal to voters who put him in office?
Loyalty matters.

After DOGE, Elon came to a conclusion most people missed.
He tried to reform the state from the inside. He failed. And he said it plainly: the government can't fix its own deficit. Nobody in power actually wants to cut. The machine protects itself.
So he drew the only logical conclusion. If the state can't be reformed, there are only two ways this ends.
Either global bankruptcy. Debt keeps compounding, interest payments eat the budget, and the system collapses under its own weight.
Or robots. AI and robotics grow the economy so fast that the debt becomes manageable, and abundance makes the old fights over scarcity irrelevant.
Here's the part almost nobody sees.
For two centuries, capitalism has had a marketing problem. Its gains are real but slow and invisible. 2% growth a year doesn't feel like anything. Your life gets better over 30 years and you never connect it to the system that did it. Meanwhile, the left's promises feel immediate and concrete: a check, a subsidy, a benefit. That's why the left wins on promises even when it can't deliver them. Capitalism produces the wealth, socialism takes the credit.
Robots break that asymmetry.
When productivity doubles in a few years instead of a few decades, people will see it. Things get cheaper, services get better, opportunities appear, in real time. For the first time in history, people will connect capitalism and their rising standard of living directly, almost instantly. The causal chain becomes visible.
And that changes everything politically.
So there are two scenarios.
Scenario one: we stay in the current inertia. No breakthrough, or a breakthrough we regulate to death. The debt wins. Living standards stagnate, then fall. A frustrated electorate turns to whoever promises the most, and that pushes toward a hard collectivist left. But collectivism fails, as it always does. And when it fails, the most organized, most disciplined collectivist force left standing isn't the old left. It's radical Islamism. Bankruptcy, then communism, then something worse.
Scenario two: robots win. Abundance arrives, and it arrives visibly. The link between free enterprise and prosperity becomes obvious to everyone. And this is the key point: it becomes obvious to everyone, including the minorities the left was counting on. Because their long-term incentive is the same as everyone else's. A kid in the suburbs gains infinitely more from a booming, abundant West than from a bankrupt state handing out promises it can't keep. Abundance is the most powerful integration machine ever built.
That's the Western renaissance.
The West doesn't need to win the culture war by arguing. It needs to win it by delivering. And for the first time, it has the technology to deliver fast enough for people to notice.
The race isn't left vs right anymore. It's robots vs bankruptcy.

Today, I'm sad. For Texas, for this blue wave. But if Elon taught us anything, it's that losing a round means nothing. Here's why I'm not worried.
Texas sending a Democrat to the Senate for the first time in decades. The Senate and the House flipping. No point lying to ourselves: this is a real defeat.
But a defeat is not the end. They won a battle. We haven't lost the war.
Politics moves in cycles. Midterms almost always punish the party in power. What matters isn't one election night, it's the trajectory over ten, twenty, thirty years.
So look at the situation as it is. No denial, no panic. Understand what didn't work, what needs to change, and move forward.
The only real danger today isn't the result. It's losing your optimism. Discouragement does more damage than any electoral loss ever could.
Look at Elon. Every time the world declared him finished, he came back stronger. Rockets exploded, companies nearly went under, everyone bet against him. I have zero doubt he's the one who wins in the end.
As Corneille wrote: "To conquer without risk is to triumph without glory." If victory were easy, it wouldn't mean anything.
Keep your spirits up. Keep playing. Keep fighting on every front: ideas, culture, tech, the ground game.
Stay focused on victory. It won't come overnight. It will take time to build. But it will last, and it will be beautiful.
We get back up. We keep going.

What if last night was the best thing that could have happened to us?
I know how that sounds. Democrats just took the House and the Senate. Texas went blue. Everyone on our side is depressed this morning. But step back and look at the longer game, because I think we might be living through the beginning of a renaissance.
History has a pattern. When a party wins big, it confuses a protest vote with a mandate. And that's exactly where it starts making mistakes.
1994: Republicans sweep Congress. They overplay their hand, shut down the government, and hand Clinton a comfortable reelection two years later. 1998: they push impeachment against public opinion and lose seats in a midterm they should have won. Victory breeds arrogance. Arrogance breeds overreach. Overreach breeds backlash.
Now look at what Democrats are walking into. They control Congress, but not the White House. They can't really govern. They can block, investigate, subpoena, and posture. For two years, their entire identity will be opposition. Endless hearings. Impeachment fantasies. Shutdown brinkmanship. Purity tests from their activist wing, emboldened by a win they'll believe was ideological when it was mostly a midterm reflex.
And every one of those moves will be on full display, in front of voters who just gave them a chance and will expect results.
That's the setup for 2028. Not a narrow win. A clean one. White House, House, Senate. Full power, with a clear mandate and two years of Democratic overreach as the backdrop.
And this time, full power has to mean something different. Not just holding office. Building.
What I believe we need is a techno-republic. A state that runs like the best companies do: fast, measurable, accountable. Where public services are rebuilt from first principles with the best technology available. Where talent and merit matter more than credentials and connections. Where we stop managing decline and start building again: energy, industry, infrastructure, AI, space.
Because the stakes are civilizational. The West has spent decades losing confidence in itself. Its institutions hollowed out, its elites ashamed of its own history, its universities captured by an alliance between the radical left and political Islamism that sees Western values as something to dismantle rather than defend. Free speech, secularism, equality before the law, the idea that a civilization has the right to exist and to defend itself. None of that survives on autopilot.
A techno-republic is how we rebuild that foundation. Not through nostalgia, but through competence. Prove that a free, confident, technologically ambitious West works better than any alternative, and the debate is over.
So yes, last night hurt. But maybe this is the detour that gets us there faster. Let them win this round. Let them show the country who they really are. And be ready.
The renaissance won't come from comfort. It'll come from the moment we stopped being comfortable.

Last night is exactly why no President has dealt with Iran before now
We don't reward Presidents for acting in the best long-term interest of the country
We reward them for avoiding difficult decisions if it means we don't have to make any sacrifices during any given 2yr period

1) The Hitchhiker’s Guide To What Last Night Means On Capitol Hill
Political observers will rank the midterm elections of 2026 alongside the epic sea changes of 1994, 2010 and 2018. It’s generally thought that the 1994 midterm which propelled Newt Gingrich to the Speakership was the most seismic. That’s largely because Republicans hadn’t controlled the House in 40 years. But 2026 will likely rival 1994 simply because of how Democrats overperformed in House races in Trump-favored districts, overcame redistricting in Texas and Florida which Republicans designed as a firewall to safeguard their majority and the fact that Democrats won in states like South Carolina and Kansas which are typically lay-ups for Republicans.
It’s always about the math. But this is also about the MAP Don’t forget that heading into this cycle, 23 of the 35 seats favored Republicans. On paper, this looked like an easy year for the GOP.
The question is just how large the margins might be for Democrats – and what that means when it comes to working – or not working – with President Trump. The President has signaled he’ll veto extreme measures which comes from Congress under Democratic control. But also offered to work together on certain issues.
Democrats could argue the vote was a mandate to rebuke the President. Some won’t be willing to work with him at all. President Trump is out the door in a little less than two years. He suffered historic losses in states and districts which he carried by double digits two years ago. Democrats are already threatening administration officials that they had better “lawyer up,” promising a host of inquests into alleged corruption, influence peddling and questions about the administration by several cabinet officials.
Yes, there will be lots of attention trained on Sen.-elect Abdul El-Sayed (D-MI) and DSA-affiliated members coming to Washington like Reps.-elect Darializa Avila Chevalier (D-NY), Claire Valdez (D-NY), Melat Kiros (D-CO), Donavan McKinney (D-MI) and Chris Rabb (D-PA). They will push Medicare for all. An effort to defund ICE. They will oppose money and aid to Israel.
But how much of that truly gets across the finish line?
While Democrats made extraordinary gains in both the House and Senate, they did so with moderates. Newly-minted House Democrats who flipped solid GOP turf are the true majority makers. Not progressives. So while hard-left Democrats might pitch bills to pack the Supreme Court or convert Washington, DC and Puerto Rico into states, the pathways for those measures is challenging. Democrats – regardless of where they reside on the political spectrum – won on a message of affordability. Democrats must show they can move the meter on gas prices and the cost of groceries. Maybe make things better for farmers.
Rep.-elect Don Leonard (D-OH) upset Rep. Mike Carey (R-OH) in central Ohio. Rep.-elect Rebecca Cooke (D-WI) defeated Derrick Van Orden (R-WI). Rep.-elect Christine Bohannan (D-IA) defeated Rep. Mariannette Miller-Meeks (R-IA). Rep.-elect Fred Wellman (D-MO) unexpectedly toppled Rep. Ann Wagner (R-MO). Democrats are just renting these districts for now. They will be in play again in 2028. However, for the first time in years, Democrats have seriously encroached into Republican turf in the Midwest and the south. That phenomenon is emphasized even more so by the victories of Sens.-elect Adam Hamilton (D-KS), Josh Turek (D-IA) and Annie Andrews (D-SC). These moderates didn’t get there by tying themselves to the left. They can’t support some of the more extreme themes propounded by progressives and the DSA. So it’s doubtful those left-wing ideas go anywhere.
However, that sets the table for a schism between moderates and progressives and could spark an internecine firestorm inside the Democratic party.
That said, there is also another mathematic calculus at work.

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.

🚨What happens if Trump loses the House and Senate?
Clinton & Obama already set precedent.
They weren't done at all in their last 2 years.
Victor Davis Hanson explains:
Clinton fell to 37% approval but left office at about 66%. In between, he was impeached but not convicted and bombed Serbia for 78 days without Congress.
Obama's approval fell to 38% and still left office near 60%. He bombed Libya in 2011 without Congress, ran hundreds of drone strikes in Pakistan, Yemen and Somalia, and started bombing ISIS in Iraq and Syria in 2014 without a new vote. He said "I've got a pen and I've got a phone," and skipped the Senate on the Iran deal and Paris.
Low approval and a hostile Congress didn't finish them. For both, it was the best thing that ever happened to them in some ways.

OK let’s imagine that! $500M would fund Medicare for exactly 4 hours. Hospital closed by lunch.
Medicare costs us $1.2T a year. Thats $2.7B per day. You people literally have no clue how anything works. You elect people who are financially illiterate, and everything gets worse.
