This is exactly what America needs: a serious commitment to forming and promoting the next generation of American leaders.
Our country’s future depends on it.
Ryan and his team are doing amazing work here.
I am pleased to announce that I will be the President of a new 501(C)4, @AmAscent_.
America’s geriatric leadership class has presided over American decline for too long.
It is time to pass the torch to a new generation of Americans. We will scout, equip, and elevate a new generation of American statesmen capable of defending and advancing the American way of life under siege.
Nearly 60% of Americans believe the current share of elderly lawmakers in Congress is a major problem, while 80% of Americans support a maximum age limit for congressional candidates.
In March 2026, Americans told YouGov they would rather nominate the younger of two congressional primary candidates they liked by a margin of 46% to 11%.
Voters made that preference clear in the 2026 midterms. Currently in the 119th Congress, 70% of the Senate and 47% of the House are over 60 years old. Based on current election results, 63% of the Senate and 41% of the House will be over the age of 60 in the next Congress.
Generational turnover is inevitable, and the coming years present extraordinary opportunities for those with the courage and fortitude to serve.
We have a powerhouse team, featuring @bradleydevlin, @poastgate, @jacksonhines57, and a great board, featuring @TomKlingenstein, @tylerbowyer, @DissidentClint, and Ben Judge.
I have full confidence that American decline will come to an end. The next generation will lead America’s ascent.

America is ready for a new generation of leaders. We are NOT going back. Our movement needs a crop of young statesmen who will unapologetically put the American people first.
Proud to join @RyanMNeuhaus @bradleydevlin and @jacksonhines57 at @AmAscent_ as Chief of Staff.

Nobody cares about this but it’s obviously going to keep happening until they upgrade from the cheap launch monitors they’re using, which will never happen.
There’s a reason you never see Full Swing monitors on ranges at professional events.

Game-changing new initiative led by faithful patriots @RyanMNeuhaus @bradleydevlin and others —>

There was no “following through” that would have resulted in mission accomplished by Election Day. The decision to seek a ceasefire was a pragmatic and strategically adept move to mitigate the election harm and had Trump not done that, it could have cost us another 5-10 congressional seats and 2-3 Senate seats.

Whether the war was a mistake or not is a different question than whether it had a huge impact on the election.
The war may have been necessary (I don’t know, I don’t have all of the necessary information to judge that play-call) but the war was the primary driver of election outcomes, both in a foreign policy sense and in the affordability sense.
Otherwise, the “half assing” the war isn’t an actual thing.
The President was sold that this would be a quick ordeal and that a popular uprising would occur. Again, perhaps the war was necessary, but the President didn’t get a sober assessment of the likelihood of that occurring.
Once that popular uprising doesn’t occur, the entire dynamic of the war changes. Instantly the war now requires a multi-year sustained engagement, likely with ground troops, in order to effectuate regime change.
That couldn’t happen before the election. The only pragmatic path at that point is exactly what the President chose to do, cool things down, seek ceasefires, seek some sort of deal. Whether a deal could be made is irrelevant, it was about buying time and refocusing efforts on opening Hormuz.
That pause and attempt to find a deal led to a mitigation on the impacts of the blue wave. Had that pause not occurred, and had the President kept the foot on the gas the blue wave would have been even bigger.
I don’t think the war itself was per se a mistake.
I think half-assing the war was a mistake. We started without a real strategy. We didn’t have enough missiles. We put it into limbo. That’s not on any of us. That’s on Trump and his team, who want to now blame shift to those who backed him up.
Getting rid of Iranian nukes is good. Doing it the way we did it was bad.
Someone in the Administration should lose their job over a botched war. Americans hate losers and we lost to a third world regime because of our own strategy.
John Howting retweeted
As a Marine, I’m astonished that someone thinks that within two weeks there was an ability to fully defeat Iran and have a permanently open Hormuz, and that so many outlets, including @FoxNews allow someone who says really dumb stuff like that to opine on war policy.
It’s so insanely ridiculous that @marcthiessen both actually believed that and repeatedly said it.

His only start at Colonial (1997)
🚨❌⛳️ #NEW — Following a historic 80-year run of hosting a PGA Tour event, Colonial Country Club is not expected to be part of The Championship Series in 2028 and the club, along with its sponsor Charles Schwab are reportedly insulted by the move and will reject a Challenger Series event opportunity. Instead, the Tour’s longest running venue may pivot to hosting the Champions Tour finale instead. The CJ Cup Byron Nelson is reportedly set to strike a Championship series event for the Dallas area.

MeToo "pioneer" MIT scientist who drove a professor to the brink of su*cide with false r*pe allegations after he broke up with her, told him she wanted to feel like she was "gang r*ped."
Professor David Sabatini has been awarded $6M after his former colleague, Dr. Kristin Knouse, defamed him with completely false allegations.
The MeToo community praised Knouse when she came out with her allegations.
Sabatini's entire career was destroyed by the false allegations as his colleagues all rushed to defend the woman who lied about him.
He also tried taking his own life by hanging himself, according to the Daily Mail.
Newly released texts reveal that Knouse, 38, was the one who pursued Sabatini, 58, and it wasn't until he left her for another woman that she accused him of r*pe.
After the breakup, she texted a friend that he was going to get "Weinstein-ed out of science."
"My lawyers and I are out for blood... prison is what he should get," she said.
She praised how "hopelessly defeated, beyond the violence stage," he was after his career was ruined.
But text messages show that Knouse pursued him and sent him graphic texts.
"I can't wait to wake up tomorrow and feel like I've been gang r*ped," she said in one text message.
Knouse accused Sabatini of making her feel "scared" by his advances, but evidence showed that *she* aggressively pursued him.
When he decided to pursue a different scientist, Knouse ended his career with false accusations.
Sabatini's entire life was destroyed by the woke mob. They fired him from the Whitehead Institute and MIT, and erased his name from papers.
She purposely left key evidence and text messages out when handing over information to investigators that would have proved Sabatini was innocent.
She should never see the outside of a prison cell.

Why the Left Fights Furiously, and the Right Does Not
The left and right are as ideologically divided as they were a century ago, and yet only the left is as violent. There are reasons for this.

We now have a senator who hates:
white Americans
football
involved parents
Ugh. Buckle up, patriots. We have a lot of work to do...
El-Sayed went on this bizarre rant against Pete Hegseth -- claiming that Hegseth "rode the pine" in "whatever sport he played" in high school.
He invoked Hegseth's mother (moms are fair game now, huh?), and claimed she was "the type" who would have worn her son's jersey to games.
*Hegseth was an all-state point guard in high school in Minnesota, set various school records. He played college ball and got some floor time in the 2001 NCAA tournament. El-Sayed played club lacrosse at Michigan.*
Here's El-Sayed's animosity-filled diatribe against Hegseth:
"You know he would have rode the pine. He probably got to start 2 games his entire career, playing whatever sport it was."
"His parents came and cheered so hard for him."
"Bro, I feel bad for you. Somebody told you you're a lot better than you really are."
"There's something about being a brown kid whose parents...no matter what you do you're never enough."
"For him, the very fact that he made the team: his mom was making cake, she was wearing his jersey, she had a cap made for him. You know the type."

The war wasn’t botched. The war went about as expected. The decision matrix provided to the President was skewed and the people who fed into that should bear some responsibility for it.
