2026 Democrats: The “Big Tent”.1. Moderate Democrats. 2. Left-wing Democrats. The in-between, going wherever the wind blows. 3. Red-Green Alliance (DSA). Noisy and promoted by the MSM. 4. Islamists exploiting social issues and making promises as a backdoor strategy for Islamization. The first step is anti-Israelism, making sure to repeat the Pallyweid slogans - ritual, (whether DSA-affiliated or not). Sneaky and regressive, yet promoted by the MSM as supposedly just simply “progressives.”

WASHINGTON, D.C. — Contrary to popular belief, Republican lawmakers are reportedly glad that they lost the election because now they will have an excuse for not getting anything done. When the new Congress begins on January 3, Republicans will no longer be in charge, which means they can sit back and relax instead of pretending to work. Now, when the country plunges into an economic recession due to poor economic policies, and prices spiral further out of control, Republicans can just sort of shrug. "It's a huge relief," said Senate Majority Leader John Thune. "So glad I don't have to...

This is a fairly long video on YouTube, over an hour. Victor does a great job analyzing what happened in the election. Short synopsis: The media was effective in demonizing Trump. People wanted the border closed. Trump did it, so people did not see it as an issue in the election. It was done. People wanted deportation, but not in their face, on TV. The imaging from Minneapolis was very effective against Trump and the Republicans. The Media was effective at turning Homeland Security into the SS. The Trump administration did a bad job on explaining inflation. Inflation is down,...

Baby Koah Sharpe was found alive in a dog crate that was wrapped in a towel, Lexington County Sheriff Bryan Koon told reporters. “That, by the grace of God, probably provided enough air for him to survive — our estimation is for the last 24 hours under that dirt,” he said. Koah, described as a 20-pound boy with reddish hair who had a pacifier, was taken by his father,...

"Without faith it is impossible to please Him, for he who comes to God must believe that He is" (Hebrews 11:6). Nothing you do can please God apart from faith. Throughout history, people have tried everything imaginable to gain favor with God. Most turn to religion, but religion apart from Christ is merely a satanic counterfeit of the truth. Many trust in their own good works, not realizing that even their best efforts are offensive to God (Isa. 64:6; Phil. 3:8). And the more we try to justify ourselves, the more we offend God, because "by the works of the...

For over 400 years, this brass padlock has remained firmly sealed at the bottom of the sea. But scientists have finally cracked its code, after using cutting-edge CT technology to solve the four-letter sequence that has kept it locked since 1583. A team from Cardiff University were able to peer into the lock's internal mechanism without causing any damage. They identified the correct letter combination -- ANCE -- and successfully opened the historic artefact... Experts believe the lock once secured a treasure chest containing valuable possessions aboard the Ann Francis, a ship that was wrecked during a violent storm. The...

CNN’s Van Jones says the Democratic Party's “American Accountability Network” coordinated tens of thousands of people to amplify their message across social media. “The Republicans never figured out what we were doing!" he said. "Don’t get mad at me. I was given permission to reveal this" "Driving the kitchen table affordability message and tying that to Democrats on a positive and Republicans on a negative," he said. "They couldn't get any traction on these cultural war issues anymore because we figured out how to get around that." "They never figured it out, and that network is going to continue to...

In just 72 hours, the most powerful woman in Donald Trump's Washington lost everything she had spent ten years building. Susie Wiles, 69, was the last person Trump, 80, talked to before he made up his mind about anything that mattered. It took three days to end that, and he did it in front of his staff. Wiles walked out of the Oval Office on Thursday afternoon with the President still shouting at her. Trump had turned on his Chief of Staff in a meeting with other aides and berated her over the brutal outcome for Republicans in the midterm...

Sen.-elect Abdul el Sayed (D-MI) said he was willing to work with President Donald Trump on the issues he ran on during his campaign. “Look, I’ve never met the man; he is the president of the United States; I am the U.S. senator-elect from the state of Michigan,” el Sayed said Sunday on ABC News. “I am happy to meet with him.” Trump has been outspoken against el Sayed, calling him a “vicious, violent jihadist” ahead of the midterm elections. ABC News’s Jonathan Karl pointed out that the president had criticized New York City Mayor Zohran Mamdani similarly, but later...

Listen, guys, Texas is the great white whale for Democrats. Someone has to pay the price for them finally getting the great white whale. It's actually something—it's more than the great white whale. It's the king on your board. They just checkmated you. Do you understand? Like, to the right, wake up. Let me open your eyes. It's time, in case you're still asleep. You're done. You're finished. I've been trying to be gentle with you today, but Talarico just won that and won it overwhelmingly because, not to do a shameless plug of the book or anything, this was...
