Rigged too Big?
Fay Voshell
As I've thought about all this, my suspicions grew greater.
I began to think the Dems overplayed their hand; cheated just too much. This guy uses the term "rigged too big." I thought it was perfect.
You might like to hear his take. I was encouraged.
Tim adds:
While I can't say for sure, I do agree the election results were unprecedented and there is insufficient justification for America turning so hard left over the issues they claim to not want. Yes, they might have handed Congress to the Democrats, but not at this level and not also handed over most state governments to the Democrats as they just did. Something does not add up.
Furthermore, this explains why there is so much hostility toward Pete Hegseth; if Trump is really biding his time, waiting for a counter-stroke (and it's out of character for Trump to be this placid) the Democrats would need a more compliant Sec. War if they get their radicals out in the streets when arrests start. I certainly can buy this scenario, although it does seem a bit far-fetched. A lot of things were far fetched not long ago that are realities now. Who think we'd put Muslim Jihadists and Communists in positions of great power as we just did? Who would think the Democrats would openly defy immigration laws? Who would think they would openly speak of punishing businesses that loaned money to the GOP or employed former i officials?
I may be paranoid but am I paranoid enough?
We have lost America; it may come down to a fight to the death over control of her before it's all over.
ADDENDUM: I did a web search for "'26 midterms stolen" and got a rash of recent posts from mainstream media saying TRUMP is going to try to steal the elections from the Democrats on Jan. 3, not that Democrats stole the elections this past Tuesday. Interesting. They seem to be pre-empting any sort of challenge by the Administration to the validity of the recent elections, even though Trump has accepted the results and is quite peaceable about it all. That to me is quite suspicious.

The Knives are Out for Hegseth
Timothy Birdnow
Told ya so!
The Dems and RINO Republicans know Hegseth is the only person who can stop an illegal coup against Trump. I think they are plotting something nasty now that they have the power and they fear Hegseth. They will probably try to impeach Trump and keep Republicans out of the chambers so they can't stop them, then if Trump says it is illegal they need Hegseth out of the way.
I am sure the RINO wing wants a good little woke toy soldier in this position, one who will back down if there is an insurrection.
Insurrection; it's what's for dinner. Why? Because the Left has a score to settle and now that they have enough political power I think they just might make a violent move just to teach America who is boss.
Remember, after the Tsar abdicated from office Russia was run by a coalition government, controlled by socialists, but moderate socialists. The Bolsheviks weren't having any of it and so they staged the October Revolution, a coup against the elected authorities. They forced the legislators to sign - at gunpoint - an agreement putting the Bolsheviks in power.
Leftists love that. It's in their blood.
I am sure they want more than to just rub a few noses in it, I suspect they are going to want to show they can destroy any political opposition.
For starters, they are vowing to go after corporations that donated to the GOP. They taste blood in the water and the taste is sweet to them.
So I suspect they just might pull something like what the internationalists did in Poland the other day. It will only work if the U.S military stays out of it. And that means getting rid of Hegseth.
We have to hope enough officers are there who remember their oaths of office, which is to the Constitution and not to protecting Congress as Praetorians.

A Terrible Election Post-Mortem
Timothy Birdnow
Monica Showalter is wrong.
What has happened is a dog has returned to it's vomit. Showalter is blaming Trump for the election and it really has nothing to do with Trump, and everything to do with phantom fears ginned up by the media that led Americans to seek "change" as they did with Obama. They forgot the lesson so painfully learned.
This is common. I've long argued that one of the cardinal sins of politics is boredom. Clinton was popular because he wasn't boring; it was a soap-opera in real life. Biden was boring which is why Trump won, and so was Hillary. Now the public is bored again, because Trump has not shaken things up enough for their tastes in the last two years. This is a Trump who is not plagued by endless attacks as in the first term and I suspect this "dissatisfaction" with Trump is that he isn't giving the show they want, so many people quietly support these radical Democrats just to shake things up. It's like a long-running show that has to introduce new characters.
So they put a bunch of crazies in power to entertain them.
I doubt anyone is aware of this but it is a real part of the decision making of many Americans, I fear.
Showalter is usually pretty good but I would argue she laid an egg here. Blaming this on Trump is like blaming your doctor for cutting the cancer out of you because it hurt.
Do Americans believe the Democrats will improve their quality of life? Get prices down? Make gas cheaper? Food cheaper? They cannot possibly think that. They may BELIEVE that because they want it to happen; magical thinking. But in the end there is no way they can THINK that. This was only a way to repudiate the Republicans (and I would say the GOP Congress more than Trump himself, who is working to do the will of the People). No doubt they voted this way out of sheer frustration and boredom.
But even if Showalter is correct, the answer is not to just give Americans everything they want any time they want just because they want it. That would be pure democracy, something loathed and feared by the Founding Fathers. Why do we have a Senate? It was to act as a restriction on the House of Representatives, which at the time was the ONLY elected office in the Federal government. There are times when the people with more information need to do things that may be politically unpopular. The war in Iran was one such, a clear and present danger that the Left refuses to accept. But it had to be done and in the old days "politics ended at the water's edge" but now politics makes common cause with our sworn enemies just to screw over the Republicans.
When you are doing what is right you have to do it no matter how popular opinion feels. In politics that means explaining what you are doing. Sadly the news media and the internet news sources people, especially young people get are biased and will not allow the President to get his word out.
I will admit he did not do a good job of communicating his strategy and why we needed the things he's been doing. But he needed to keep doing them.
America wanted all the illegals out and when Trump started rounding them up and repatriating them a bunch of people complained, saying he was being mean. Well, how else do you kick people out if you don't round them up and repatriate them? Trump needed to make that clear. And he needed to move faster on the evictions.
When a nation like Iran, which chants "death to America" tells us they have enough enriched uranium for 11 nuclear bombs there is no choice. Trump should have been a broken record on that. He assumed the public would understand you can't allow that but he assumed wrong.
And of course that meant gas has been temporarily high and he needed to explain better WHY it is high. In fact he had a perfect opportunity to blame the Democrats in blue states, pointing out their high taxes and ridiculous regulations. But he assumed everyone would already know that. It was a mistake.
Showalter blames the President for this but doesn't offer any constructive advice. She simply complains about things that were hard to control.
She says Trump alienated Latino voters. Well duh! That was going to happen when you start deporting Latinos. What does she propose Trump do? Essentially she is calling for amnesty with this complaint.
She complains too about corruption in the Administration. It is no worse than any prior Administration and Trump has dealt with many of these people as soon as it became an issue. It is only more obvious because the media hunts for corruption wherever they can find it (I know; my older brother is a labor Democrat and he's always talking about Trump corruption). But nobody ever said they voted Democrat based on corruption - that is a fantasy from the RINO wing of the party.
And of course she tries to blame tariffs, calling them a "terrible idea". The fact remains that the Progressives hated tariffs because they wanted a heavy, progressive income tax, just like Marx wanted.
If you look through the history of tariffs (and they were the primary funding mechanism for the United States until the income tax in 1913) they do not coincide with any sort of economic downturn nor inflation. Showalter shows she does not understand this. Tariffs were raised TWICE during the depression of f'21 and the nation not only got out of that depression but we went into the roaring '20's. People were paying less tax out of pocket. That was Harding and Coolidge who promoted those tariff increases.
Tariffs has not led to an "affordability" crisis and Monica should know better.
Every tariff hater goes back to Smoot-Hawley, the tariff increase at the beginning of the Great Depression. It did not cause the Depression (the Feds, who had pumped up the money supply during the twenties, contracted it sharply, triggering the Depression) nor did it exacerbate it. What it did was take money out of the pockets of Europeans, who got mad about it. But that was an outlier.
And the public in this election did not vote on tariffs, but "affordability" because they foolishly believed we would have deflation, without understanding the Fed is the only source that can trigger that, by contracting the money supply (which also would cause a recession at minimum). Deflation is destructive and we fought against it for decades during the late nineteenth century. It was a case of unrealistic expectations. And fuel prices are largely driving higher consumer prices.
Still, as our editor Dana Mathewson says, how is the economy so terrible? I myself have noticed restaurants are full, and I don't mean McDonalds; fine dining places. Starbucks are full; people are buying expensive coffee. If times were so bad they'd be making Folgers at home. The electronics stores are busy. Walmart is busy; I have to park far from the door and hoof it in when I go for my insulin. Bars and breweries are hopping. The economy is not bad if one looks at consumer spending. So how is this such a crisis? It isn't; the media just told everybody it was.
Monica is just plain wrong in this essay.
She complains Trump just sprang the Iran war on the public. Hmm. What do you do when someone has a bunch of nuclear material lying around? Spend a year talking about how you are going to bomb Iran? You MUST do it suddenly so they can't move the stuff. That was the mistake Bush made in Iraq; he jawbones about it for a year before doing it. Saddam had plenty of time to hide or move all his stuff.
She also complains about things like Greenland and Trump's trolling of Canada as if the man can't walk and chew gum at the same time.
She says she was told by a voter "this isn't what I voted for" and no doubt she did not ask exactly what that voter DID vote for. Closing the border? Done. Evicting illegal aliens? In progress. Cutting the size of government? Done. Make America Great Again means exactly that, and things like Greenland are and were a part of it. Monica didn't seem to try to defend any of MAGA with said friend. We need Greenland to defend against the Chicoms, who are moving into the Arctic (from which they could strike us with atomic weapons).
Showalter is usually pretty good but she laid an egg here. She may even be right about the voter's motives and she certainly is right Trump did not do a good job of explaining. But Trump made all the right decisions. What he is trying to do is incredibly difficult; he's trying to reform the country. Grover Cleveland did likewise; he campaigned as a reformer who would ferret out corruption and he did it, but he was wildly unpopular for it at the time and lost his re-election bid (only, like Trump, to come back and be re-elected after the public saw the alternative). Trump was guaranteed to piss a lot of people off. He was disrupting the status quo, and people are lazy and weak and prefer the devil they know.
At the end she actually praises NeverTrumper Peggy Noonan for wishing for a blue blowout to force the GOP back into RINO control, which she refers to as "first principles". Yeah; like we ever won anything with the RINO wing in charge! And Showalter actually agrees. That is political suicide. It would mean we go back to the days where we put principles ahead of everything, and do nothing. It means we go back to "comity" and being the party to better manage America's decline. It means we go bac to open borders, a big welfare state, not challenging vote fraud, high taxes and high prices and no jobs. No thank you Monica.
We are in a state of terminal decay and Showalter wants to play pattycake with the Left. And she says we need to "give the voters what they want". They have said they want socialism and open borders with this election; should we give them that, or teach them why they shouldn't want these things? Her way is simply surrender.
Now is not the time to blame Trump. Now is the time to support him more than ever. Shame on Monica Showalter!

Where do We go from Here?
Timothy Birdnow
Here is a pretty clear-eyed analysis of what went wrong and what may be coming, or should come.
I agree with most of his diagnosis, but I fear he is wrong in his prescriptons. Trump is not going to be able to ignore the penny-ante judges now; they will have solid grounds to impeach him for it. He could have done so over the last two years with Congress in the GOP hands. Not now.
He's not going to be able to cut spending. You may remember he tried to do just that and caught hell for it with the GOP in power; now, with the Democrats, he will just be writing another article of impeachment for himself and a series of judges standing in his way.
He's going to find it hard to finish the Iran war without any funding. Democrats are going to cut off funding for the military.
Trump wasted opportunities talking about his ballroom, and that little project is on hold permanently now.
The author calls for building a new Republican Party, a MAGA party. But if we couldn't do that when we were in power how are we going to do that out of power, when every single vote counts? I assure you the RINO wing is toasting with champagne right now, because they wanted us to lose and lose large so as to make it clear the MAGA way is a failure (as they predicted) and the key to success is to move to the middle and govern with "comity" with the Democrats rather than fight them and move to the Right (which used to be the center just twenty years ago). Karl Rove may act unhappy but he has no doubt been humming a merry tune. Thom Tillis and John Cornyn are probably at a strip club together putting fifties in g-strings and sucking down $20 dollar beers together right now.
The RINO's wanted this for a reason; they will use it to try to take "their" party back. And they may succeed. Fox News will be on board with that idea.
I strongly suspect Trump will decide he's done enough and he's smart enough to know that if he plays nice they MAY let him go once he's out of office, provided he clam up and go away. Trump has no way to protect himself or his family now, and that is the man's first duty, after all. He is an extraordinarily brave man, but there comes a point when that isn't enough. I don't care how brave you are you don't walk into a fist fight with a grizzly bear. Trump is smart enough to know that.
His party let him down, and America let him down. Now we both face the whirlwind. Why should Trump face it too? He already has. How many more assassination attempts will he face?
I don't know if they WILL let Trump go away quietly, but he no longer has the tools to fight back and it's pretty much his only course of action.
I would say we are probably going to see a "kinder, gentler" Trump in the upcoming two years, and he will probably be a quieter one at that. Maybe I'm wrong; it is his nature, after all, to fight and to talk. But every fight and every comment can and will be used against him. He has lost all his rights, except maybe to remain silent.
As the Second World War was wrapping up the British, in an act of extreme ingratitude, turned out Winston Churchill and put the socialist weenie Clement Attlee. Trump is victim of the same mentality, only America turned Trump out mid-term while the war was still being fought. It's an absolute disgrace and proves America has lost the ability to be a world leader. There is no fortitude, no courage, no loyalty to anything or anyone in America. It's all about the smart phones and the Lattes and the easy living. A nation that places comfort and pleasure over responsibility and virtue is destined for the ashbin of history. America should be ashamed of itself. History will not ignore these faults; it never does in the end.
We'll get what we asked for and when we do we won't like it. But the media will blame it on Trump and a lot of Americans will hate Trump, just as the media wants them to, and Mr. Trump will become the absolute nexus of blame - the American Goldstein for the two minute hate.
Why should Trump put himself through that?
I am sure Trump is privately seething at this massive ingratitude; I know I am. Basically he stood before the dragon and his fellows all fled. Cowards.
We should take this time to remake the GOP and purge the RINO wing for good. I doubt we'll do it though. And we should ignore the judges, but I doubt we will. We should make the entire GOP executive committee resign and put in all MAGA folks, but I doubt we will (they should have known how to deal with this stuff but they did not, and they did not fund anyone who unseated a RINO.) We need to build a rapid response team to turn out and raise hell over any and every act by Congress that is unamerican. We have to learn to fight like Democrats. That was, after all, what made Trump appealing in the first place.
And we need a moral and spiritual revival in America. God can heal the land and restore us, but He has to have a reason. America is a Godless place, an habitation of demons and every unclean bird. And it is so with the full blessing and support of a majority of Americans. Here in Missouri an amendment to the constitution to ban abortion and transing kids went down in flames. The Archdiocese of St. Louis did almost nothing to promote this. Commercials were running non-stop against it on the television, and they were not answered. The Archdiocese could have run commercials themselves; they didn't bother. At any rate this bespeaks an immoral America and God will punish an immoral America.
If I were God I wouldn't bless America either. We have forgotten Him, and rejected Him. I'd let us enjoy the fruits of our own labors.
We need a major religious and spiritual revival in this country; it's the only way to save anything.
Personally I do not think we CAN save America; a whole generation has grown up apostate or worse, and they have grown up with ideas that are monstrous, doctrines of demons, and they believe them. Morality and decency are Newtonian; for every action there is an equal and opposite reaction. Or as the Bible says, as ye sow so shall ye reap. We have been sowing a lot of weeds and are then baffled that weeds are the main crop.
Anyway I think America is toast, and not even an English Muffin, just plain old Wonder Bread toast, dry (Remember the Blues Brothers; Elwood always ordered dry white toast). All we have at this point is the ability to perhaps influence the shaping of post America. I said this before, during the Biden era, and I was surprised by Trump, but Trump was like Diocletian in the latter Roman Empire; a strong leader who attempted to right the nation and had limited success but only accelerated it's decline. Trump is not Diocletian, who persecuted Christians and thus brought the wrath of God down on the eternal city, but he is the last chance, the reversal, the reaction to the madness. Once he's gone the whole thing will implode. Maybe not right away (it took Rome a hundred years to die after Diocletian) but in the speeded-up world of modernity it will probably collapse much more quickly. Rome wasn't built in a day and it didn't all in a day either, but America pretty much was from an historical perspective on time and probably will fall even faster.
All we can do now is try to shape the future as best we can. It won't be the America we knew, but it could be better than the radicals want it to be.
Diocletian, by the way, instituted feudalism. He ordered that all working class people must stay at their jobs and the jobs of their fathers and could not leave. He issued this order because everyone was quitting work and moving to Rome to go on the dole, and so this both cost the government money and led to a terrible drain in skilled workers. Diocletian's answer was to just tell people they were stuck doing what their fathers had done. It was pretty much the end of Roman times and the beginning of the Dark Ages. We are going into a new dark age now.
So where do we go from here?
First, don't give up the ship. All may be lost but sometimes there is no point in giving up, and miracles happen. George Washington saw several miracles during his largely defeated campaigns. God moves in strange ways and He may forgive us and restore the land. We have to be in the fight even if it seems pointless to us.
Second, we need to remember. Hold America close to our hearts and do not forget her. Tell others, especially young people, what we had and what they lost and why. If you have any printed books, especially old history books, stash them away for the future. The Left is digitizing everything so it can be easily edited and they can erase America one fact at a time. They won't be able to get all the printed books though, and having them stashed somewhere for future generations could lead to people remembering and perhaps some sort of restoration may be possible.
Pray, and encourage others to pray.
Remember, the Christians of Europe had watched the rising tide of Islam swallow up much of it's territory, and when the Moors invaded France I am sure everyone thought it was over; the Muslims seemed unstoppable. Charles, the Mayor of the Palace of France, led an army on a suicide mission and he won a huge victory at Tours (aka Poitiers) leading him to be named Martel (the Hammer). Much later at the gates of the city of Vienna an international coalition led by Polish king Jan Sobieski stood there ground against the Turks, and won the great victory that drove the Muslims out of Europe permanently (more or less; they still controlled parts of the Balkans and Greece). In both cases it appeared impossible but because these people were ready they won. We must stand likewise.
Stranger things have happened; the Japanese were saved from a Chinese invasion by a big wind that drove the Chinese ships away from their islands. It was called the Kamikazi - the Divine wind. They would use the same name for a suicide squad later to no good affect.
God has blessed America repeatedly. The stories of Washington having God's protection are legion. During the War of 1812 the British were driven out of Washington in total defeat without any American firing a single shot at them. God Himself did the fighting and they knew it! A tornado swept through the British camp and lighting struck a number of them. By the time they left they vowed to fight no more; how do you fight God? As a much later saying went, your arms are too short to box Him.
In fact Bismarck would famously say
There is a Providence that protects idiots, drunkards, children and the United States of America," He did that because we were a very religious and moral country, by and large, and consecrated to Him. But in our arrogance we rejected our covenant with Him. This is the result.
Anyway the country is lost as we knew it but not all is lost; we can still affect the future and we have a duty to do so But let's be clear about it; we can't restore what has been lost; that would be tilting at windmills. Quixsotic (and I would point out this word is pronounced Kehoetik, not Quicksotic as so many mistakenly say - it's homage to Don Quixote of La Mancha.) We have to see the bigger picture. Politics is just one tool.
So hang in there everyone

The Big Lie in Texas
Timothy Birdnow
Joseph Goebbles, Hitler's Minister of Propaganda and the man who pretty much invented the Deep State as we know it, made a statement about propaganda that will never be forgotten by history. As Goebbles pointed out, if you want a lie to succeed you don't tell a small one. Small lies are believable AS LIES and people will accuse you of it - and the public will believe. Rather if you want a lie to succeed you tell a big, fat whopper of a lie. Make it so large that the public will not believe it could possibly not be true. Then they will believe you and your critics, who are dead right, will be dismissed as full of hatred for you.
The truth-tellers become the liars in the minds of the masses because your lie was too big to fail.
Which brings us to current American politics. In 2020 the Democrats stole the election, stuffing the ballot box all over the country and stealing multiple elections. Many were very close races, others not so much. Trump "lost" handily, with Joe Biden winning by more votes than any President in history. Biden even carried more blac votes than did Barack Obama, and this while cowering in his basement, peeking out of the tiny basement window looking for the feet of teenagers so he could use his intercom system to chase them off his lawn.
Secondary races other than for the Presidency were small lies, with limited cheating. As a result Congress was cloand se.
The end result was Trump learned of all sorts of irregularities and refused to accept the election results. This led to the rally at the Capitol which wind up being called an "insurrection" by Democrats and media types and led to a Bolshevean style crackdown by the Biden-controlled government and it came to within a whisker of the former President being packed off to prison. A lot of his associates did go to prison.
The mistake the Democrats made in this little beerhall Putsch was they didn't go big enough, left too many Republicans standing.
So the other night they corrected that mistake.
My proof? James Talarico, the absolutely insane divinity school dropout and proud socialist, a guy who just disappeared for weeks without explaining himself during the campaign, won far too bigly (to use a Trumpism) than he could possibly have won.
Here is an analysis of that particular election.
From the article:
Talarico’s win was remarkable not only because a Democrat shattered Texas’s red wall for the first time since 1988, but also because of the sheer number of votes he received. His vote total exceeded the Texas totals of every Democrat presidential nominee since 2016, including Joe Biden, who previously held the record. Talarico also outperformed Colin Allred, the Democrat who challenged Ted Cruz for the Senate in 2024.
According to Decision Desk HQ, the latest reported figures as of this morning show Talarico receiving 5,445,185 votes. Compared to previous Democratic presidential candidates, he got 40.4% more votes than Hillary in 2016, 12.6% more than Kamala in 2024, and 3.5% more than Biden did in 2020, a year of record turnout.
The logical thing to do, of course, is to assign that vast difference to Texas’s rapidly growing population. After all, the more people who live in a state, the more potential voters it has—and, as noted, Texas has gone out of its way to attract people who probably lean left.
According to Census Bureau population estimates, Texas’s population increased from approximately 27.9 million in 2016 to 29.2 million in 2020 and 31.3 million in 2024. That represents approximately 12.2% growth over eight years. By July 2025, the total population had reached approximately 31.7 million. Those are big changes.
Population growth therefore helps explain why more people might vote for Democrats compared to a decade ago. But here’s the kicker: Population growth alone doesn’t fully explain Talarico’s remarkable performance.
First, the 12.2% population increase occurred between 2016 and 2024. You can’t logically use that entire eight-year increase to explain Talarico’s 12.6% advantage over Harris, who ran just two years earlier because much of that population growth had already occurred before Harris appeared on the ballot.
Second, it wasn’t just leftists who moved in. We all know conservative businesses and individuals who abandoned California, New York, Illinois, and other economically hostile Democrat-run states for Texas. They’d add to the Republican vote total.
Additionally, among the new residents are many who are children, noncitizens (whether here legally or not), people who never registered to vote, independents who would never vote for Democrats or Republicans, and people who just can’t be bothered. Even if a disproportionate number of Texas’s new adult residents favored Democrats, it’s unlikely that all did, or even could, vote.
However, a decade of presidential elections requires an analysis that goes far beyond this post. It’s easier to think small. The most revealing comparison is between Talarico and Colin Allred, who was the 2024 candidate Democrats fielded for the Senate.
In 2024, Allred received 5,031,249 votes in his unsuccessful race against Ted Cruz. Just two years later, Talarico received 413,936 more votes, an 8.2% increase. However, between July 2024 and July 2025, Texas’s population grew by only about 1.3%. Although complete 2026 population estimates are not yet available, the available figures indicate that population growth was substantially slower than the increase in Democrat Senate votes.
Turnout is also something one needs to consider. In 2024, approximately 11.29 million Texans voted in the Senate race. In 2026, approximately 9.89 million votes had been counted as of November 5—roughly 1.4 million fewer votes, a 12.5% decline.
Thus, Talarico received more votes for a Democrat in an election in which substantially fewer Texans voted overall.
Meanwhile, on the Republican side, Ken Paxton saw a 29% decrease in Republican votes, or about 1.74 million votes, compared to Ted Cruz just two years earlier. That, too, is inconsistent with population growth, although there are semi-plausible explanations.
The obvious ones include (1) Republicans voting for Talarico because, while Paxton is extremely conservative, they disliked him personally, and (2) Republican voters staying home to protest how Republicans, from the White House down, have handled domestic and foreign policy in the last two years. Some in Texas especially hate Trump’s tariff policies.
However, while I can easily envision Republicans sitting out the election out of pique, I’m less convinced that Republican defections alone explain Talarico’s remarkably high vote total. It is possible that he really was an inspiration to previously non-voting Democrats or that Independents were magnetically drawn to his charisma and platform. Without examining the actual voting patterns, though, we’re guessing. Possible, though, does not mean probable. None of these explanations feels...for want of a better word, right.
For now, the numbers, standing alone without any deeper analysis, don’t offer any easy explanation for the Texas anomaly. One thing is clear, though: Talarico’s historically large vote total cannot be dismissed as the inevitable result of Texas having more residents than in earlier elections. Population growth alone does not adequately explain the substantial increase in Democrat Senate votes between 2024 and 2026, especially when total participation in the race declined.
And another point to ponder; Talarico was way ahead in the mail-in votes, which accounted for a staggering 40% of the vote total prior to the election. That means the for votes should have gone hugely for Paxton, as the Dems had voted already. Yet apparently there never was a surge for Paxton. That is odd given the way this thing shook out.
To me it is likely statistically impossible. But the Democrats wanted to make this uncontestable, and so too did the RINO Republican wing, who hated Paxton worse than did the Democrats for taking out Cornyn. I do not believe Paxton was just voted out; I believe the big fix was in on this election.
I think Texas was perhaps the most visible of these swindles but I suspect if you look all across the country you will find all sorts of new and inventive ways the Democrats stole elections, or at least padded their wins so they would be impossible to challenge.
I believe this is the application of the Big Lie. Democrats had to make any resistance to them appear to be rebellion and not principled. That was their mistake last time; they went after Trump and his associates with too thin a margin.
Democrats are evil and they are insane strategically but they are great tacticians; they know how to get what they want. It's just what they want is batcrap crazy. Republicans want things that are sane and reasonable but they suck at tactics. The problem is it doesn't matter what beliefs you hold, it matters if you have the means and the will to go out and get it. Life on Earth is all about doing; thinking and believing doesn't much matter. Victory is to the swift and the strong and the determined, which is why we are losing America.
I think the Talarico case is the first of many instances of fraud that will drop in the upcoming weeks. I suspect we are going to learn about a whole lot of new tricks from the Democrats. This has been ongoing for a long time; they always change up their tactics and the GOP is forever looking for the last season's fraud when a whole new way to steal is at work.
We won't be able to overturn any elections, but we need to make the cheating as public as possible. The Democrats think they have a mandate and will use it to it's full advantage. Our job is to make them rue the day they pulled this.

Ice Cores and Big Brother
Timothy Birdnow
More proof they lie to us about EVERYTHING!
No doubt the powers that be will ignore this as long as possible while their pet scientists find a way to explain how global warming from carbon dioxide is causing this non-remarkable warming. Then they will announce with much fanfare how they solved the matter and it all fits with the climate models, move along, nothing to see here.
I was watching television the other day (as a retired old coot without a life I do that alot) and one of those Marvel comic movies came on. It was about Spider Man, who I always liked, so I watched. In it the villain Mysterio, who is a master of illusion, was tricking the whole world into thinking he was a superhero using drones to create holographic images of great beasts he would then subdue. Spider Man got in the ay and eventually defeated Mysterio. With the way the media has created a false reality I couldn't help but think about this movie, and this article and my explanation of how it works dovetails nicely with it; we live in a world of illusion now where the media creates a false reality and people make important decisions on false impressions as a result. We have now elected Marxists and Jihadists and perverts to public office out of a misguided view of reality, one fostered by the media and by the internet and the terrible public education system.
How can you fix a world without understanding reality? If there is nothing to compare what you are being told to you cannot begin to correct any problem. This is what Communists have long dreamt of doing and now they own the world.
Anyone who thinks we can still save anything is kidding themselves; you can't save anything if you can't first fix people's perception of reality.
The best we can hope for now is to have a say in the shape of the post-Western world. But they will have control over most of it anyway, but we may still be able to save a remnant of what we once had. Our actions now are not about saving the country. They are about saving our own memories.
Soon enough all will be forgotten and we will all love Big Brother.

Land of Illusion
From our friend across the Pond Daniel Jupp
Lots of gloating from fools in the Fake Right camps of the Alt Media directed Nazis and the MSM directed RINOs and Tories.
Cheering the triumph of the last light of freedom being nearly extinguished because Trump isn’t polite enough or because ‘da Joos’.
The truth is these people aren’t rightwing.
The polite, respectable, We Told You to Talk Nicely and Do Nothing ones have been owned by the other side for 80 years.
The rabid, Jew hating, isolationist What About the Epstein Files ones have always been a collection of grifters, crooks and nutjobs.
So what happened, in polite language?
The very, very simple truth is that the most successful rightwing term in living memory meant nothing.
And it meant nothing because sanity did not have control of the narrative.
Stalin said that it doesn’t matter who wins the votes, it matters who controls the counting of the votes.
Well there is a similar one here-it doesn’t matter what objective reality is, it matters who controls the perception of reality.
Objectively, the US economy is doing very well under Trump, objectively, in the actual real world, he has improved the US in countless ways in the second term. Objectively, factually the Iran intervention was minimal, sensible and massively to the benefit of the safety and security of the US. Objectively, he’s defended the borders, increased safety, increased prosperity, secured energy, secured resources, out thought and out fought China, on and on.
It doesn’t matter.
The majority of people are no longer able to independently access the reality they live in.
They are mediated non-thinkers, media directed drones who never touch reality. There is always a screen or an article or a newspaper or a talking head between them and reality, which they listen to more than reality itself.
2020 was stolen and mainstream media had the power to just tell everyone it was not. But enough people doubted and alternative media came into being. Through the Biden term the lies kept coming, but people had another voice to listen to. For the brief period that alternative media was telling the truth and opposing mainstream media, the non thinkers had a chance to act on the basis of truth. Someone was telling them true things, and that was enough.
Enough to win 2024.
So what did the malign do in response? They didn’t change. They didn’t make themselves better. They got more insane and more evil. They told more lies. They did even worse things.
Surely this would seal Trump’s lasting victory?
No.
Because at the same time they purchased alternative media. They purchased Carlson. They purchased every one of the Epstein Files lunatics. They purchased every one of the Iran War isolationist lunatics. They realised that MSM TDS wasn’t enough.
So they paid for alternative media TDS as well.
Facts don’t matter. Reality doesn’t matter. Most people can’t independently access either of them and have no tether of logic or morality or tradition. All they know is what they are told to know.
It wasn’t that the followers of Alt Media were smarter. It’s that for a brief time they were listening to the truth, and followed it because they mistook the source as a truth teller.
When the same source told them Da Joos control Trump or Trump rapes kids, they believed that too.
Just as programmed, just as gullible, just as stupid as those mentally enslaved by mainstream media.
Shall I tell you who the Right actually are, when they aren’t RINOs and they aren’t Nazis?
They are the minority who judge by an actual reality that most people can no longer access. They are the ones who can decide for themselves, based on a true sight of what is happening. They are the undirected, the not controlled, the people possesed of a memory of what reality is.
But today success isn’t enough. Doing good isn’t enough. The other side being objectively evil and vile and obviously so isn’t enough.
It doesn’t matter. The real world doesn’t matter.
You have to control the narrative ABOUT the world. You have to control the mediated comment and the media presentation more than evil and lies do. That’s more important than what you actually have done in reality.
You must master the illusion, the screen, the interface, the data stream ….because that’s where most voters live, and their thoughts aren’t thoughts but controlled Pavlovian responses to what the mediated world tells them.
Those who live in reality must understand that telling people what reality is doesn’t work. You have to either end or control the world of illusions and only then can the blind and the dumb be led by truth instead of lies.
In simpler terms, some people escaped MSM control, so alternative media figures were used to restore the Reign of Lies instead.
We have to be honest with ourselves about how few people have any agency or understanding or ability to defy this.

America Committed Suicide over Iran War
Timothy Birdnow
I guess cheap gas is worth more than a couple of American cities.
What fools the American voters be.
Trump screwed up by taking the long approach with Iran; he needed to blow the place to smithereens and end this months ago. He chose not to because he still hoped for an uprising by the Iranian People. We didn't get that, but we got a war that dragged on and the idiot public just wanted it over and do not realize it won't EVER be over because Iran ahs always been at war with us and now will just redouble their efforts.
I despair of human stupidity.
This is, of course, exactly what the Mullahs wanted. We just gave them a huge present - our demise. If they drank alcohol champagne corks would be popping right about now in Tehran.

Welcome to the New World Order
Timothy Birdnow
The Democrats have long been building a political machine, a machine Trump was working to dismantle. This means he failed to do so and now they are about to run the table on us. TEXAS fell, for crying out loud; that's game over. We cannot win if we can't win Texas.
On Facebook there was an apologist posting I took umbrage with. The author says "Great news: This will FORCE Republicans to act like conservatives again. " Horsepoo. The lesson that will be drawn is MAGA was a failed experiment and we need to go back to good old fashioned RINO politics. The conventional \wisdom of moving to the center will reassert itself.
This was a civilizational disaster. The Democrats are going to cut off funding for the Iran war, for instance, and Iran will come back meaner and nastier than ever, and may well strike one or more of our cities while the hollow men dance and prance about. The new Senators from the Democrats will be there at least six years, and if Alito or Thomas want to retire from the Supreme Court Trump will not get his pick. The Court, which could have improved, will now revert to the type of body we had during the seventies or earlier. And it means Trump will be impeached, repeatedly, and who knows? They may remove him from office one of those times. The filibuster is finis. They are going to punish conservatives, especially the young, so nobody dares do this again.
There is no good way to look at this - it was a pure disaster. Talking about how we'll win tomorrow is pointless; there is no tomorrow. We needed to win the next six elections minimum. We could not afford this kind of loss. And beyond the political aspects, what does it say about America? We have no moral core at all anymore and people are so stupid they will vote in the guys who caused the problems they are complaining about. It was the Democrats who purposely pushed up gas prices over global warming concerns. It was the Democrats who drove up all the prices by spending trillions of dollars, forcing the Fed to massively increase the money supply and trigger huge inflation (and what was Trump supposed to do about that other than try to trigger economic growth?) It was the Democrrats who promoted the expensive DEI in businesses, a huge cost companies had to eat and pass along to their customers. It was the Democrats who pushed the internationalism that cost American labor it's jobs. It was the Democrats who opened the borders so aliens could take jobs from Americans, and drive down wages, and drive up the cost of housing.
But all anyone cared about, or knew about, was that they didn't like the price of gas, a price considerably lower than the Biden era. And they blamed the war in Iran for it, a war that had to be fought lest Iran be a permanent nuclear power. When a people chant "death to America" you don't let them get nukes, period. They told us they had enough enriched uranium for 11 nuclear bombs; we HAD to listen. You don't just assume it's hyperbole, not with an aggressor nation like Iran.
Civilizations die. It's happened many times. The Bronze Age civilizations died, the Roman Empire, the Parthians, etc. Western Civilization was dying and I had hoped it could be saved. Only America could save it. But the so-called West used to be called Christendom and we became too sophisticated to believe in the God who gave us all of this. So He has ow judged us and found us wanting and our kingdom is taken from us and will be given to others. The Chinese maybe, the Indians possibly. But God will not be mocked, and that is what was happening. Americans still are unrepentant and are still practicing their immorality and sorcery (turning boys into girls is sorcery, there is nothing else to call it.) The moving finger has writ, and our time is now over.
We might last a few years but in steady decline (which is what many on the Left wanted; they wanted to create a new world, an international government, and a new economic order). We may break out in civil war, but more likely we'll see an increasing Bolshevism in our society, with government becoming ever more anaconda-like as the Left systematically wipes us out and strangles our people.
That is, of course, if we aren't destroyed by our enemies.
I guarantee you they are celebrating in Iran right now, and in Beijing, and in North Korea (and South too, now), and in Russia. This was the best outcome they could have hoped for. Da Silva in Brazil is high-fiving that corrupt judge of his.
.America wanted this and were so venial and childish and greedy they got it. Now they will reap the whirlwind.
I wish I were 20 years older; I really don't want to see this.
Paul said in the Bible that there was a restrainer who kept the coming of Antichrist away. "He who restrains" had to first be taken out of the way. Bible scholars always assumed the restrainer was the Holy Spirit and no doubt that is true, but He works through human agents. In the Biblical times it was the Roman Empire. Then the Spanish, then the British, and finally America. But we just removed ourselves and there is nobody left to impose Pax Americana. The Old World is hopelessly corrupt, as are her children - in Australia, New Zealand, etc. Latin America is corrupt. China is a tyrant and God-hating land, and India is not all that much better. Only America could do it. Now we are out of the way and there is nothing to stop the coming of the Antichrist. This election was momentous, a seismic shift. We have just made the road straight for the son of Satan.
Welcome to the New World Order.

The Dancing Dead
Timothy Birdnow
I wrote this in honor of the election results last night:
The Dancing Dead
by Timothy Birdnow
The winds howling loudly outside the gate
they dance in the courtyard though the hour is late
just bones of the damned, hollowed out chests
celebrate in the courtyard with the children oppressed
What sophists they must be, to buy what they'd sell
a graveyard of fools, all ignoring the bell
watch as they party late into the night
for soon they'll be gone and forever out of sight
what comes now their way, what dark shadows in motion
while they dance in their triumph amid all the commotion
the pad of the feet of the predator near
his footprints in sand he's about to appear
there's blood on the sand now, their children devoured
while the dead dancing bones speak of being empowered
the cream now is curdled, bitter and soured
yet the harlots they dance, bejeweled and deflowered
Judgement is nigh, the moving finger writ
the terrible end will be just and be fit
it is coming soon now and they won't understand
why the world has gone mad, why death stalks the land
But that's what they wanted, they sought it all along
nary a care did they take though it's wrong
their champions laughing now at their fine trick
the candle is burned, at the end of the wick
Who knocks on the door now? Who comes now to the dinner
the savior is absent, at the door stands the dark winner
In joy they did celebrate, thinking themselves wise
they believed what they wanted, they accepted the lies
They kingdom is rent from them, enemies pound on the door
and still do they dance, just a thing to ignore
what comes in the night is much worse than a dream
it won't be till daylight they'll let out a scream
Venus shall light after a night of jubilation
in the morn all their woes, the war and inflation
will double in trouble but they'll get so much more
their lives shall be shattered from crust to the core
Foolish hollow men and their women obtuse
for they've woven the rope, now they're wearing the noose
and they think it a fashion statement but it won't remain loose
in horror and shock it will be put to good use
Oh sinner man, sinner woman, and other
you have made your own bed and you'll never recover
Will they finally learn or will they stay on this path
for the day is soon coming they will feel His wrath
they fell so far, never reaching the bottom
now the salt dunes shall blossom, just like Gomorrah and Sodom
It's worse than you fear - the predator is here.

What Rough Beasts
In honor of the elections:
The Second Coming
William Butler Yeats
Turning and turning in the widening gyre
The falcon cannot hear the falconer;
Things fall apart; the centre cannot hold;
Mere anarchy is loosed upon the world,
The blood-dimmed tide is loosed, and everywhere
The ceremony of innocence is drowned;
The best lack all conviction, while the worst
Are full of passionate intensity.
Surely some revelation is at hand;
Surely the Second Coming is at hand.
The Second Coming! Hardly are those words out
When a vast image out of Spiritus Mundi
Troubles my sight: somewhere in sands of the desert
A shape with lion body and the head of a man,
A gaze blank and pitiless as the sun,
Is moving its slow thighs, while all about it
Reel shadows of the indignant desert birds.
The darkness drops again; but now I know
That twenty centuries of stony sleep
Were vexed to nightmare by a rocking cradle,
And what rough beast, its hour come round at last,
Slouches towards Bethlehem to be born?

Hegseth Blocks Color Revolution so He Has to Go
Timothy Birdnow
Why is the Demo-Left so rabid against Pete Hegseth? One old soldier explains:
InfantryDort@infantrydortAnd now we understand the absolutely rabid obsession with destroying Pete Hegseth.
I’ve been in the Army since before 9/11. Served under many secretaries.
Only in the past 18 months have I experienced:
>politicians warning me not to follow illegal orders>billboards outside military bases telling me to report war crimes>the media attacking anyone who has a positive thing to say about the man, and defending anyone who hates him>stunning volume of leaks from senior officials trying to undermine him, and the lionizing of the leakers by the press>being called a war criminal myself, hundreds of times a day>a sustained media narrative portraying virtually every firing or senior officer removal as a "purge”>public efforts by retired officers, advocacy groups, and political figures to mobilize service members and military communities against administration policies>influential "Americans” publicly cheering for Iran
This is just to name a few. I’ve NEVER experienced anything like this before. And it’s becoming abundantly clear that the concerted effort to divide the military from within was stunted when Hegseth took over. Anyone desiring color revolution needs control of the military. That’s color revolution 101.
Is it starting to make sense yet? Now you see the obsession over him in particular. It’s not a coincidence. And it damn sure isn’t because of his culture war.
It’s because by all objective metrics, he runs a military that snatches rogue leaders from their beds, destroys entire militaries, and successfully mobilizes assets to save one downed pilot in the middle of enemy territory by building an Air Force base… in the middle of enemy territory. Secures the border, dominates the hemisphere. Hunts drug cartels. The list goes on.
He is by all meaningful accounts, effective at wielding the machine. And that is why they drool at the thought of removing him.
In years past you’d be hard pressed to find a junior Soldier who knew the name of the cabinet secretary above them.
Every one of them knows Pete Hegseth.
Every one.
They are plotting a color revolution and know with Hegseth at the helm at the War Department it will fail. He needs to go, as far as they are concerned.

Trump Cuts Off Aid to Israel
Timothy Birdnow
Yikes! Trump succumbs to pressure and cuts off all aid to Israel even though Israel is still our most important strategic partner in the Middle East.
Maybe Trump IS getting senile?
I'm all for cutting off aid to most countries, but Israel is in a constant state of war through no fault of their own, and we have an historic relationship with them, our only real friend in the region. Dumping them is unwise at this time in history. We will probably need them to finish this Iran war.
Yes, Netanyahu wants to get off the drug of U.S. aid too, but can he? It costs a LOT of money to purchase American weapons, and without them the legion of enemies against Israel will indeed drive them into the sea.
Foolish even if it is something we may want.

DeSantis Turns on Trump, Iran War
Timothy Birdnow
Florida Governor Ron DeSantis bitches about Iran and the Trump Administration.
What, pray tell, would Mr. DeSantis have done when faced with Iranian claims of enough enriched uranium to make 11 nuclear weapons? It would have been grossly irresponsible for Trump to simply let that go.
And if he waited until after the mid-terms? The Republicans STILL may have lost the elections and the Democrats in power would have defunded Trump's efforts there. And if by some miracle the GOP held the House and Senate there were still just two years and the problems would still be there - the high gas prices - only it would be going into the general election and probably would have handed Kamala Harris the Presidency.
DeSantis should understand this; he's no dummy.
This shows he plans to run for President again, distancing himself from Trump because he thinks that will win back the RINO vote while also allowing him to win enough MAGA, especially the disenchanted, isolationist, anti-war MAGA. But he's a fool if he thinks this is the path to his own victory.
He would have done the exact same thing as did Trump if he were in Trump's position and he knows it too. His dishonesty turns me off on him. I'll support even Rubio over DeSantis at this point. You don't say stuff like that BEFORE the big blood letting. It just dispirits the Republican voters.
DeSantis has done great things for Florida, and his place is in Florida, not Washington. He's a better governor than a President.

The Revenge of USAID
Timothy Birdnow
Despite having it's funding cut USAID is STILL tampering with the electoral process in Europe, funding the Polish coup and tampering with others.
And it turns out, quite a bit of cash is still flowing overseas, thanks to USAID.
We’ve traced the money through Serbia and Poland, two countries that have experienced insane political upheaval recently, and what we uncovered will raise a few eyebrows and some blood pressure, to boot.
We’re talking about American-funded organizations involved in cough, cough, "election monitoring,” voter mobilization, civic activism, and political education. Some of these groups have received millions in US government funding while gleefully declaring how their work has contributed to major political changes. And in case you’re wondering, "work” means squashing grassroots right-wing uprisings and political wins.
So the filthy hands of the American Left are funding this still. I imagine George Soros and the WEF have contributed as well.
The article continues:
But it’s not as easy as it used to be, since President Trump cut off USAID money. It’s getting harder for these groups to work, but we found that they built quite an impressive infrastructure that has sustained them, even when Trump turned off the tap. These orgs spent years building and padding their operations to get them through the "dry times.” They have outside donors and European funding networks helping keep parts of the civil-society system operating, but we’ve uncovered that there’s even more to it.
[...]
There’s something really big going down in Europe. You can practically smell the coups and color revolutions in the air, so we started digging into it because of a question that keeps coming up, thanks to the USAID days…
Why does American taxpayer money always seem to turn up in leftwing organizations heavily involved in other countries’ elections and political movements?
And what’s happened to the organizations who are still operating, even after DC stopped cutting checks?
The coup in Poland and the color revolution unfolding in Serbia got us wondering how much money US taxpayers are unwittingly shelling out for this chaos across the Atlantic.
And it turns out, quite a bit of cash is still flowing overseas, thanks to USAID.

These orgs spent years building and padding their operations to get them through the "dry times.” They have outside donors and European funding networks helping keep parts of the civil-society system operating, but we’ve uncovered that there’s even more to it.
Now, before we get into the money, there’s something important to understand about how these movements work.
A government doesn’t have to be overthrown by soldiers storming the presidential palace. Sometimes political power changes hands after months of demonstrations, public-pressure campaigns, organized opposition, and elections. The process can involve genuine public anger over issues while also using money, training, and attention from powerful organizations outside the country to keep the fires raging.
And Serbia knows that process intimately and has a remarkable history of American meddling in its political organizing.
So that’s where we’re starting.
On October 25, 2026, Serbia had one of the biggest political shakeups in its modern history.
Aleksandar Vucic’s Serbian, the populist right-wing leader of the Progressive Party, which had dominated the country’s government for about 14 years, was defeated by a student-backed political movement.
It was an extraordinary turn of events.
The student movement grew out of a horrifying tragedy in November 2024, when a concrete canopy collapsed at the railway station in Novi Sad, killing 16 people.
The station had just undergone renovations as part of a Chinese-backed infrastructure project, and the disaster triggered massive public anger over corruption, government negligence, and lack of accountability.
What started as protests over those deaths turned into something so much bigger.
Students organized demonstrations, blockaded universities, and somehow managed to supposedly build a movement that would challenge and defeat Serbia’s political leadership.
Vucic saw the writing on the wall. He warned over and over that foreign money was helping orchestrate a color revolution against his government.
And after almost two years of riots and unrest, his party lost its parliamentary majority.
The student-backed movement won a decisive election victory, with preliminary results giving it about 53 percent of the vote.
Very curious indeed.
Was this simply a grassroots domestic protest movement that eventually brought down an unpopular government? Or were foreign organizations helping build the political infrastructure surrounding it?
To understand what’s really going on, we need to go back to the last time Serbia experienced a famous political revolution.
And the American involvement in that earlier upheaval is very well documented.
Back in 2000, another Serbian leader, Slobodan Milosevic, was facing another very determined opposition movement. And American political consultants weren’t watching from the sidelines… they were in the thick of things.
A December 2000 WAPO investigation revealed that the US had supported an extensive operation involving opposition training, polling, campaign strategies, voter education, and that infamous "election monitoring.”
It was reported that America dumped about 41 million bucks in democracy assistance.
Expert Reveals Hidden Bottled Water Risks And A Simple Hydration Switch To KnowUltimate H2WAPO:
U.S.-funded consultants played a crucial role behind the scenes in virtually every facet of the anti-Milosevic drive.
Every facet, eh?
Forty-one million dollars of American taxpayer money was helping left-wing opposition groups develop political messages, train activists, conduct polling, and organize election monitoring in another sovereign country.
And most of this operation was openly funded through American government programs and nonprofits.
One of the most famous groups involved was "Otpor,” a Serbian student resistance movement that helped bring down Milosevic.
As a matter of fact, its organizing tactics were so good they later taught "resistance strategies” around the world. You have to wonder if they’ve been to France or Italy lately.
But this brings us to another question US taxpayers should be asking:
If American-funded political organizing played such a massive role in Serbia’s 2000 upheaval, what kind of American-supported political infrastructure was operating when the latest protests began?
Well, we think we can answer that. We found a very interesting organization, and the financial records are sitting right out in the open.
Meet CRTA, otherwise known as "Center for Research, Transparency, and Accountability.”
It’s a Serbian nonprofit involved in election observation, political research, media monitoring, civic education, and public accountability… in other words, a typical leftwing NGO.
But what is really interesting is there’s a federal funding trail that connects CRTA directly to USAID.
The US government awarded CRTA a cooperative agreement for an "Elections Integrity Activity” in Serbia. The award number is: 72016923CA00002.
They were gifted nearly $2.9 million and another $832,000 later.
That’s US taxpayer money going straight into a Serbian left-wing org working in the country’s electoral system.
And that US money was lifeblood for CRTA.
[...]
The USAID money is about a third of its entire reported income.
And look at the other donors listed in that same report… Swedish development assistance and the British Embassy. CRTA also received funding from European institutions, foreign embassies, the Rockefeller Brothers Fund, and the National Endowment for Democracy.
The 2000 color revolution had some very serious international financial backing, mainly from the US.
And as you likely already have figured out, the CRTA’s work went way beyond sending a handful of volunteers to watch people cast ballots or show them where to sign their name.
Annual reports describe election observation, political research, media monitoring, legal assistance, support for civic initiatives, and public-information campaigns, also known as "propaganda.” All of these are activities that have major influence on a country’s political environment.
[...]
Enter the Rockefeller Brothers… a philanthropic group that exists to advance social change that contributes to a more just, sustainable, and peaceful world. This is their website:
A crowd of young people holding protest signs to fight climate change
And here’s where everything starts lining up.
In 2025, the Trump admin started dismantling USAID and canceling thousands of foreign-assistance agreements.
CRTA’s election-integrity award appears on a March 2025 list of terminated USAID programs. But in 2026, the organization continued receiving financial support from other sources.
And one of those sources was the Rockefeller Brothers Fund.
This story goes on and on, following the money trail in Serbia. It's the internationalists promoting a coup there, and in Poland, and probably in France as well.
And if the Democrats lose after the media hyped polls showing they would win? Riots and demonstrations and probably an attempted coup against the Trump Administration.
Anyway, the American Marshall Fund sunk a wad into putting Tusk in power in Poland:
That image is the German Marshall Fund’s own description of its American-funded work during Poland’s election.
The report goes even deeper, and credits the projects with "contributing to an election outcome that opened the door to restoring liberal constitutionalism and changing the country’s political direction.”
Read this entire article. It's long but worth your trouble. What is happening in Europe is a dress rehearsal for what they plan to do here in the U.S.
The Democrats are on record saying they will pack the Supreme Court, and they've talked of imposing "ethics" rules on a coequal branch of government (meaning Congress can't do that). They are going to try to do this if they win both houses of Congress, mark my words, and it will be accompanied by rioters outside of SCOTUS chambers and their homes.
That is what we will get if they win.

So we just might have a very good night. I predict the GOP will hold the Senate. Not sure about the House but who knows? It's much easier to steal House seats after all, and a lot of people don't bother to learn about the candidates in House races the way they do the Senate.
Let us all pray for a good outcome. If the Democrats steal this or win it fairly the result will be the same - everything comes back, the endless investigations, the impeachment, the lawfare against anyone who dares challenge them, the return of all the dirtbag prosecutors - Letitia James, Alvin Bragg, etc.
Is that really what America wants?
