RE: The Prosecution of Ilhan Omar There are two competing storylines regarding the prosecution of Ilhan Omar. One such storyline is being peddled by the Democrat/Media Complex. The other storyline is one that same media will never report. I’ll let you decide which storyline is which. Storyline #1: An inspiring immigrant woman escaped from poverty, genocide and Communist rule in the poorest nation on Earth, made her own way in the United States and rose to national prominence as a Congresswoman. However, because she is a vocal supporter for social justice, an evil Republican President/fascist dictator has targeted her for abusive prosecution on trumped-up, nonexistent charges. Now she stands for oppressed Americans everywhere as she fights the power. Storyline #2: The wealthy, privileged daughter of a genocidal, Communist Somali army colonel who had been trained in the Soviet Union fled to America with her father so the two could escape torture, imprisonment and execution after the father’s genocidal, Communist regime leader was overthrown. Upon arrival in America, the father and the daughter both committed immigration fraud and illegally obtained U.S. citizenship (or never obtained U.S. citizenship, the story is unclear). The daughter then rose to prominence with the backing of George Soros and his massive network of NGOs and PACs, was elected to Congress, was controlled by Soros and other Neo-Marxist groups who may well have held her illegal alien status over her head to manipulate her, while she maintained close contact with organized crime lords inside Minnesota’s Somali community. The bottom line is that it seems an illegal alien with genocidal Communist roots was illegally elected to Congress where she has spent years promoting Communism, organized crime and destruction of our Constitution and our national institutions. This reads like a Tom Clancy novel, but it’s all true and is one of the worst scandal in U.S. history. Now, finally, a President with iron will is holding her and her network of Communist thieves to account for their crimes. You decide which storyline is true and which is false.

Longhorns by 12!!!

Over the past few days I have heard a number of very sober, well-reasoned commentators on the political right talking about the midterms and related polling. They uniformly speak about the House already being a lost cause for the GOP, and they focus on whether the GOP can hold the Senate. Things do not need to be this way. Trump won in 2024 by large margins. The only reason that cannot be repeated this fall is if YOU—the average Trump voter—decides to let it happen. I know, I know, I know. Trump has not made all of your hopes and dreams come true in two years’ time. You think he has done nothing, even though he has had profound victory after profound victory in areas like immigration and downsizing the federal government. You have your pet issue that has not been satisfied to the extent you demand, so you want to “Stay home and send them a message.” Yes the GOP sucks. It’s a heinous mess of self-interest and failed status quo maintenance. But the only thing worse is the Democrat Party. We are running against LITERAL COMMUNISTS who want to abolish the Senate, pack the Supreme Court, add two new deep blue states, open the borders to unlimited immigration and succumb to creeping Sharia and jihad in order to literally destroy the nation. (Plus, they will spend the next two years impeaching Trump and everyone in his orbit, fully defeating what you voted for in 2024.) So you have two choices. It’s a binary choice, there is no third option: 1. Vote for doing everything we can to pursue MAGA even if that’s not perfect. 2. Stay home and become ruled by literal Communists who want you dead. Choose. We can still win this fall, we just need the will to do it.

Homecoming Season in Texas has gotten out of hand... 😜🤣🤣

Grilled Prime Porterhouse + Shishito Peppers, Key West Scampi (again) + Roasted Carrots. 2023 Russell Jojo Chardonnay.

Going with this Rosato again tonight. Want to see if it tastes as good in Kentucky, with a grilled cheeseburger 🍔.

If you are a Texan who has voted Republican your entire life, and now you feel tired of the BS, the disappointment, and the betrayal that comes from Greg Abbott and the rest of the GOP, I understand you. Many people are frustrated. Many people feel let down. If you feel like voting Democrat or staying home, that is your right as an American. But do not vote out of anger. Do not vote blindly. Do not let frustration push you into another box without thinking. Texas has more than two choices. You do not have to keep choosing between the same two establishment paths. You can look at every option. You can research every name. You can listen to every voice. You can choose someone who actually represents your values instead of settling for the same cycle. I will not vote for Greg Abbott. I will not vote for Gina Hinojosa. I have spent time researching. I have spoken with this candidate. I have even met her face to face. Based on that, I believe she is the best fit for Texas. That is why I am writing in Jenn Mack for Texas Governor. Every Texan should do the same. Do your homework. Look past the party labels. Vote for the person who actually reflects your values and your vision for this state.

Ooh Inglenook! Last time we had that we were at Bern’s!

It has been SO HOT in Texas... How hot you say???

Had a Chard and 2 Pinot’s tonight.

You know, if I were a sitting Congressman who had spent his whole term undermining his own party’s President, and as a result I was booted from office via a party primary where I was roundly rejected by the same voters who had first put me into office, I would have a moment of self-reflection. In that period of self-reflection I would decide that I had failed my constituents by not listening to them or doing the things they sent me to Congress to do, so therefore during my lame duck period I would do everything I could to support the agenda of my constituents and make amends. But I’m a normal, decent human being. OTOH, if I were a toxic narcissist I would have zero moments of self-reflection and would do everything I could during my lame duck period to spite and punish my constituents while also trying to destroy the party that first sent me to office, because I’m more important than the ordinary citizen and that party and I get to do whatever I want. The problem is, of course, that normal, decent human beings often want nothing to do with political office whereas toxic narcissists are attracted to politics like moths to a flame.

Tariffs and oversupply of US whiskey were discussed at The House of U.S. Spirits, a one-day immersion into the joys and benefits of American whiskey. The good news for the UK is that more of the very best US spirits are coming to these shores. Click the-buyer.net/tasting/spirit…

If you had told New Yorkers on 9-11 that 25 years later, this socialist fool would be their mayor? They would have run you outta town…Yet, here we are.

Pulled some serious corks the last couple months. Off vintage Rousseau needs decanting.

Oh, man I'm so sad about this. @dallaswinechick convinced me there were decent white wines in the world. I detest sav blanc, and loath California chardonnay. She suggested I try Chablis because "they do it better." The universe answered with @Chablislodge. John is very particular, so I tried Pinson and wife and I haven't looked back. All because of her. My life is better, though my liver may disagree. She will be missed! 💔

Wednesday night lineup.

Texas doesn’t need another polished suit who checks the wind before opening his mouth. I’m backing Ken Paxton because I’d rather have a political barbed-wire fence than another revolving door. He irritates the right people. He survives the attacks. He keeps swinging. Washington already has enough men who want to be invited to the dinner party. Texas needs somebody willing to flip the damn table.
