  1. The media love to tout these “student walkouts” that some lib teacher always organizes.

    The rest of the story, the one the media doesn’t tell.

    “I obtained more footage of the patriotic students at Central Bucks East High School in PA BOOING the anti-ICE students as they walked out to protest

    I’m told just about 75 students out of 1,400 participated in the protest while the majority BOOED them.”

  2. Dems want to deny history.

    And yes, the CIA plant will help the deepstate whitewash history.

    “A Virginia bill has cleared the state assembly prohibiting teachers from portraying or presenting “as credible a description or portrayal of the actions precipitating orinvolved in the events of the January 6, 2021, insurrection as peaceful protest.”

    “If signed by Governor Spanberger, Virginia teachers may not “state, suggest, or present as credible a statement or suggestion that there was extensive election fraud that could have changed or actually changed the results of the 2020 presidential election.””

    “This is a must-watch exchange.

    Rep. Michael Cloud (R) completely dismantles a Democratic pastor over what the Bible actually teaches about charitable giving.

    When asked about the parable that comes before the verse she references, she has no idea what he’s talking about.”

  5. Dems have rolled out their new Beta Beto model in Texas.

    “I served with James Talarico from 2019 to today. This guy is as evil as they come. There is a darkness to this man’s life. If you doubt that there is a wickedness and evil and a demonic presence in the world, you only have to look at James Talarico. He’s an awful, awful person.””

  8. It’s all about perspective, and Senator Warren’s is clouded by her stupidity.

    https://x.com/i/status/2028968354824745201

    “I just left a classified briefing with the Trump Administration about the war in Iran.

    I was worried before, but I’m more worried now.”

    Now, the perspective of someone who isn’t a partisan clown….

    https://x.com/i/status/2029339196004110444

    “I’m not just angry. I’m furious with you Elizabeth Warren.

    Stop using the suffering of my people as political ammunition against Donald Trump.

    You say you are grieving for those killed in this “unnecessary war.”Really? I checked your social media. More than 20 posts attacking President Trump after he removed a monster terrorist of Iran, Ali Khamenei, but not one post grieving the massacre of more than 32,000 unarmed Iranian people. Why? Shocking.

    More than 10,000 protesters were intentionally blinded by security forces. Young women were shot in the eyes. Students were beaten to death. Families were burying their children. Where were you then?

    We are not a tool. The pain of us Iranians is not a talking point for your partisan battles.

    As a woman, your silence while women in Iran were being shot, jailed, and blinded is more than disappointing. It is insulting. No it is beyond that. It is a slap in the face of Iranian mothers burying their children who have been killed by Islamic Republic.

    I cannot ignore this hypocrisy.Our suffering did not fit your narrative. Our voices were inconvenient. Now that the situation serves your political agenda, you speak loudly.

    Very heartbreaking to see, powerful women in the West totally ignoring Iranians being slaughtered. 💔”

  9. Release the Epstein files! they scream…

    Oh, but not those files….

    https://x.com/i/status/2029560463600525677

    “There’s no coherent argument for releasing millions of pages of Epstein files but not releasing this. Every argument against releasing the congressional sexual misconduct files would also apply to the Epstein files (exposes victims, includes unsubstantiated claims, etc). And yet almost every member of congress voted to release the Epstein stuff. And now the vast majority oppose releasing their own files. Total farce.”

  10. We need to have a serious conversation on this, but our go t is useless, so….

    https://x.com/i/status/2029580994802540969

    “Damon Johnson just set someone on fire in NY while on parole. 131 prior arrests.”

    “Something like 70 to 75 percent of Americans are never arrested in their lives. Another 20 to 25 percent are arrested once, usually for something minor. Almost all of the arrests, especially for violent crimes, are coming from about 5 percent of the population. If all of these people were just thrown in a cage forever and forgotten about, the rest of us could live in peace. That’s a fact. You could essentially solve the crime problem, almost completely, by arresting the tiny minority of the population that commits basically all of it. Instead we let them roam the streets, continually release them back into the public, and watch helplessly as they kill, rape, and destroy, even though nobody on Earth can explain why this system makes sense, or is fair, or moral, or just.”

  11. Rubio has been one of Trump’s best selections.

    He was right about everything in 2015.

    https://x.com/i/status/2029390255661432838

    “WATCH! 2015 footage of then-Sen. Marco Rubio is RESURFACING, and he CALLED IRAN’S PLAYBOOK PERFECTLY, 11 years ago!

    In this resurfaced clip, Rubio warned exactly what would happen if the Obama Iran deal went through:

    • Iran uses sanctions relief cash to build missiles, swarm ships, arm terror proxies.

    • They become the dominant regional power (outside U.S.), raise costs for our ops.

    • Build anti-access weapons to sink carriers, fast boats to swarm our navy.

    • Target U.S. troops via proxies, deny involvement.

    • Develop long-range missiles that could hit America.

    • Eventually go nuclear when they feel untouchable.

    • Led by apocalyptic radicals who want global chaos.

    He prayed the next president would reverse it, reimpose sanctions, and back it with credible military force, or history would judge us harshly.”

  13. Student walkouts — always amused me; people always think its because teachers encouraged it, we don’t.They’re annoying — most kids do it for a day off, there’s always some kids who don’t skip so you keep teaching and then the next day you have to reteach and catch up the kids who were goofing off the day before.

    And really if you’re in high school, your politics, religion, etc almost always reflect your parents. If a teacher is influential in that way, its usually because the parents are awful. Then again, if my influence was so all pervasive I would get kids to put away their phone and show up to class on time.

    I taught history for 27 years. When I started, there was the basic common nationalist Cdn history we were expected to drill into kids — it was boring and only taught them to memorise. By my last ten years, I had devised questions the kids had to answer. For example, should we have statues of Sir John A Macdonald. They were expected to answer yes or no using historical facts. They were motivated to research the good or bad and then weigh the facts to make a judgement call. There was no right answer — just have enough facts on your side.

    As for J6 — way too recent to be in history class. Again, a student’s opinion of recent events usually reflect their parents not their teachers.

  14. Talarico has a huge online following, he started showing up on my newsfeed about 2-3 years ago. Given he’s only a state legislator and my location is set for outside the US, that’s an impressive reach.

    A political analyst stated about a month ago that between Crockett and Talarico, the latter really scared the Republicans. He’s a white young Christian male — he is well mannered, prepared and an orator. Crockett and Talaric poll the same against Paxton/Croyn — about 1-2% behind but internal numbers and deep data suggest Talarico will be more of a challenge. Polling is usually based on the demographics of the last voting cohort and the fear some Republicans have is Talarico will motivate new people to the polls, and they’re not wrong.

    Personally, I think AJ is right and its Beto 2.0 but I also think it will be closer this time (polling at only 1% below is the margin of error). And it will force Republicans to spend time and money in Texas whereas they would rather be somewhere else. The tweets AJ posted aren’t surprising either. Past voting has shown trans issues motivates Republicans and is often the deciding factor. It may be harder for the party that campaigns to protect women in washrooms etc when they have completely botched the Epstein files.

  15. One can be critical of the Trump admin’s approach to the war and still oppose the Iranian theocratic regime. Warren’s concern is for the Americans in Massachusetts and not Iranian exiles (really should American politicians listen to foreign exiles and their political needs…. isnt’ that s why people criticise Omar). Warren is right to show concern — there appears to be no goal, exit plans, or any long term plans — for a war of choice there appears to be very little planning. Any American representative or senator should keep those questions at the forefront as they represent the Americans in their state or district.

  16. Only 27% of Americans identify as Republicans, the same number as Democrats. If Trump isn’t popular with Republicans, then he has some serious issues. The real question is how does he fare with the 45% who now claim to be independent and how will that affect the mid terms.

    Noem has some serious corruption issues. The question is who’s next — Bondi’s incompetence on Epstein is obvious but she’s covering for alot of powerful men, will the Trump admin let the train wreck continue rather than risk a more principled DOJ. Hesgeth and RFK, like Noem, and more concerned with image and spectacle than results. Neither can be taken seriously. As much as I disagree with Rubio’s actions, at least he appears competent.
