In case the embed doesn’t take (that’s happened a lot since Musk bought twitter (unexpectedly of course).
I’m not sure if people have truly grasped the power of X. The House was set to pass a BS spending bill. After just a few hours of posting on X by Musk & X users, the bill was effectively killed… potentially saving the US taxpayer billions of dollars.
This tells me that the era of needed a bunch of people to show up on capital hill to make people fear voter is also gone. If we can generate the fear of God from here that will save a lot of time and effort and might even save the country. That’s the good news
The bad news is the very fact that Speaker Johnson started in this direction tells me a lot of the GOP caucus still wants to play by the old rules and is going to have to be dragged kicking and screaming into actually serving the American people.
This illustrates the most important reality of the final Trump term. The last election didn’t save the country, it give us the chance to do so.
‘The people that are responsible for this s**tshow are the Obama people. They’re just grifters,’ a well-connected Democratic donor exclusively told Daily Mail.
You have a guy with almost no political experience. who comes out of the combined camps of Marxism who live for the utilization of the useful idiot, and the Chicago Machine who if not the inventors of the corrupt machine pol on the take are the foremost practices of that genre still active in existence and it takes you till the last weeks of the Obama people running the Biden Administration to figure out these guys are basically all grifters?
He singled out Jen O’Malley Dillon, who went from Biden 2024 campaign chair to serve in the same role for Harris’s camp, and David Plouffe, an ex-Obama 2008 campaign manager turned top Kamala adviser.
Deep-pocketed lefty patrons are enraged by Plouffe’s post-election admission that Harris never led Trump in their internal campaign polling, despite public surveys showing her ahead.
‘[Polls] came out in late September, early October, showing us with leads that we never saw,’ Plouffe revealed late last month on the Democrat-friendly podcast ‘Pod Save America.’
‘They lied to us. It’s just a circus of lies,’ the donor erupted, complaining that Harris’ team regularly painted a much rosier picture when speaking to supporters who were signing big checks.
Biden of course was a corrupt grifter long before Obama was around and there were plenty of other grifters in the parties before this but I was taking to a friend yesterday, a reluctant Trump voter who was driven over the line by the left. He discussed an interview with George Bush Sr. who discussed his dad Prescott’s relationship with LBJ who was a very corrupt pol. He said he liked him and they got along because although they were on the other side and he would beat you and pressure you he never lied to you. He was up front about things, told you what he would do and did them.
There are plenty of lefty influencers who are well paid that Trump can soak, he should go after every one.
It will be a lot of fun to see the Trump organization continue to sue these folks and make them pay.
Justine Bateman and I both noticed something interesting about the left’s reaction to the CEO murder.
another interesting point is usually people on the left blame the gun rather than the shooter. Oddly enough they are celebrating the shooter & not the gun.
Apparently it's the gun's fault when someone they like is murders and the person's fault when it's not#unexpectedly#2a
So not only is nobody calling for Gun Control as Justine notes, but nobody is blaming the gun this time for the killing, or as it should be if the left was consistent celebrating the gun.
Apparently people are the killers when the left approves of the killing and guns are the killers when they don’t.
Speaking of the left and violence…
There's a culture of just total impunity over there when it comes to violence. On Twitter, as far as I can tell, it's rare for people to post violent threats or musings under names identified with their IRL identities. Over there, they know they can do so without any risk. pic.twitter.com/3xRWdAo3Kl
If the French Terror had social media Bluesky would be their spot.
Remember when it was said illegal immigrants were “doing jobs Americans aren’t willing to do anymore”?
Apparently the Israeli’s are the “illegal immigrants” doing the job that the west wants done but doesn’t want to dirty their hands with…
In 1981, Israel destroyed the Osirak nuclear reactor in Iraq, preventing the world's worst weapons from being used by Saddam Hussein.
Today, Israel is destroying chemical and strategic weapons in Syria, preventing the world's worst weapons from being used by jihadist rebels.… pic.twitter.com/lC8SdFbYoG
…albeit it’s done out of their own self preservation.
Of course I suspect Jihadi’s will get all the nuclear weapons they want once they’re done taking over England.
There is a group of people who will never listen to any kind of conservative media because in their mind to do so crosses some kind of “purity test” so the only time they get any kind of message that penetrates their bubble world is if someone else chooses to report it.
Enter Stephen A Smith:
After an IG report confirmed what many of us already knew, that the FBI had at least 26 informants on the ground on J6, some of whom went into the Capitol, Stephen A. Smith is sick of defending Democrat lies.
The number of people who follow Stephen A Smith who have likely never consumed conservative media is considerable and he is a significant enough black voice that the MSM blacklists him at their peril, so when he is reporting that the FBI admits to having at least 26 informants on the ground on J6, that’s going to open quite a few eyes.
It’s as if the whole corrupt mess is collapsing and Trump isn’t even sworn in yet.
We are told, correctly, that it’s the local elections, not the glamorous races such as presidential contests, that effect voters the most.
That was so true in 2016 in Cook County, Illinois.
While Hillary Clinton comfortably won Illinois and Cook County–where I live– over Donald Trump, it was the state’s attorney race in Cook that had the biggest impact on the 5 million residents in Illinois’ largest county.
George Soros-funded Democratic candidate, Kim Foxx, resoundingly defeated her Republican opponent, Christopher E.K. Pfannkuche. Four years later it was much closer for Foxx, she gathered only 54 percent of the vote in heavily Democratic Cook County, over Republican Pat O’Brien and a Libertarian candidate.
Fortunately, unless you are a criminal, Foxx chose not to run for reelection this year.
Immediately after her swearing-in, Foxx raised the limit for felony theft from the state-mandated $300 to $1,000.00. Shoplifting prosecutions in Cook County dropped dramatically, as did narcotics prosecutions.
Murders soared in the last eight years.
While Foxx is best known for the Jussie Smollett debacle, other actions as state’s attorney will have a lasting, and acidic legacy.
If you want numbers, you’ll find some here, courtesy of the fantastic Illinois Policy Institute. But except for murders, they tell an incomplete story.
For instance, for much of Foxx’s misrule, my daughter, Little Marathon Pundit. worked at a nationally known department store in an affluent suburb. On average, once a day, a shoplifter ran out the door–some calmy walked out–with stolen merchandise. Not only were employees at this store told not to prevent the criminal from leaving, store managers never called the police. Not once. Why call the cops? Even if the perp is caught, Foxx’ office, unless the theft was a massive haul, wouldn’t prosecute it as a felony. Or he may not even bother prosecuting at all.
So those were unrecorded crimes. So crime numbers, outside of course of murders, can’t be trusted at all.
As I wrote on X last month, “the liberal media keeps telling us that crime is down. Six months ago when I last visited this Rosemont IL big box store the cosmetics section wasn’t roped off. Stop gaslighting us, ‘journalists.'”
Eileen O’Neill Burke, a Democrat, is the new state’s attorney in Cook County. She is already prosecuting accused thieves at the state-mandated $300 level for felony theft.
EOB is not perfect. She supports Governor JB Prtizker’s no-cash-bail SAFE-T Act.
But O’Neill Burke vows to call for more detainments of accused criminals who are charged with violent crimes.
Elections matter.
Including down-ballot races. Sometimes especially down-ballot races.
Sadly, the results of the last eight years of rampant criminality will wreak havoc for a very long time.
