True story.

Dave Smith absolutely DESTROYS @AlanDersh after Alan Dershowitz calls Dave an antisemite. This was beautiful. 🤣😂

Never bet against the swamp 🎲

Trump: “I am the greatest.” National debt: “And I took that personally.”

GM!

Anthony Fauci peak Covid for some reason…

CCP didn’t spend $30 million to buy a congressional seat in Kentucky, or give Trump $300 million to start a war.

You stupid POS. Keep lying.

Ron Paul was right.

Tulsi Gabbard didn’t just release 1,600 pages of documents on her last day in office. She exposed something far uglier: the intelligence community didn’t investigate the lab leak. They built a protective cocoon around Anthony Fauci and called it national security. They had the evidence early. A May 2020 report from Lawrence Livermore laid it out plainly ... all the conditions for an accidental release of a lab-modified coronavirus were already present at the Wuhan Institute of Virology. Precursor viruses. Reverse genetics work. ACE2 receptor testing. Biosafety failures. It was all there. Instead of following that evidence, they let the man who approved the funding for that research steer the entire origins discussion across 18 intelligence agencies. Fauci didn’t just offer opinions. He shaped the narrative, suppressed dissent, and later lied to Congress about his involvement. And the agencies went along with it. Whistleblowers who tried to push back were retaliated against. The institutions that were supposed to protect the country chose to protect one well-connected bureaucrat instead. This wasn’t a mistake. It was a decision. Corporate media is pretending this never happened. They won’t even touch it. That silence tells you exactly whose side they were on. This is bigger than Fauci. This is proof that when the truth threatened powerful people inside the system, the system circled the wagons and buried the evidence. Tulsi just ripped the cocoon open. Now we’ll see who tries to sew it back shut. (article below)

Trump on Meet the Press : “I didn't guarantee no war." Play the tape:

If a deal is struck to end the Iranian conflict because it is believed that the Strait of Hormuz cannot be protected from Iranian terrorism and Iran still possesses the capability to destroy major Gulf oil infrastructure, then Iran will be perceived as being a dominate force requiring a diplomatic solution. This combination of Iran being perceived as having the ability to terrorize the Strait in perpetuity and the ability the inflict massive damage to Gulf oil infrastructure is a major shift of the balance of power in the region and over time will be a nightmare for Israel. Also, it makes one wonder why the war started to begin with if these perceptions are accurate. I personally am a skeptic of the idea that Iran cannot be denied the ability to terrorize the Strait and the region cannot protect itself against Iranian military capability. It is important we get this right.

Thomas Massie’s primary defeat is more than a political upset. It is the clearest signal yet that the Republican Party has no room left for libertarians, no matter how principled, how consistent, or how loyal they’ve been to the Constitution. I say this not as a lifelong outsider, but as someone who once believed the GOP could be a home for liberty-minded Americans. I spent years trying to “work within the party,” convincing myself that if we just elected enough Massies, enough Amashes, enough Ron or Rand Pauls, we could steer the Republican ship back toward limited government, civil liberties, and fiscal restraint. But Massie’s loss makes the truth impossible to ignore: the GOP does not want libertarians. It wants obedience. They did this to the Tea Party, Massie is just the latest scalp. Massie wasn’t defeated because he betrayed so-called Republican values. He was defeated because he actually upheld them. He voted against bloated spending. He opposed unconstitutional surveillance. He challenged executive overreach, no matter which president was in office. He refused to trade principle for party loyalty. And for that, the GOP establishment (and a sizable portion of its base) decided he had to go. When a party that professes liberty as a core principle punishes its most consistent constitutionalist, it tells you everything about what it has become. For decades, libertarians were asked to carve out space inside the Republican Party. We were told: “We need your votes.” “We need your energy.” “We need your ideas.” But the moment we challenge the party’s sacred cows of militarism, surveillance, central planning, or corporate welfare, we’re labeled traitors. This only proves the GOP wants libertarian votes, not libertarian principles. Massie’s defeat is not an anomaly. It is the logical outcome of a party that has spent years purging dissenters and elevating those who treat government power as a weapon rather than a responsibility. Political parties respond to incentives, and the GOP’s incentives are now crystal clear: • Reward loyalty to the leader, not loyalty to the Constitution. • Reward spending when it benefits your faction, punish restraint when it doesn’t. • Reward those who expand state power in the name of “security” or “order.” • Punish anyone who questions the party line, even if they’re right. Libertarians cannot thrive in a party whose incentives run directly counter to liberty. If Thomas Massie, arguably the most intellectually consistent, policy-savvy, and constitutionally grounded member of Congress, cannot survive a Republican primary, then no libertarian can. Not one. Massie was the test case. The GOP failed the test. For years, libertarians were told to “be realistic,” to accept that the Republican Party was the only viable vehicle for liberty. But what’s realistic about staying in a party that openly rejects you? What’s pragmatic about tying yourself to a machine that punishes your principles? What’s strategic about being a permanent minority faction inside a party that sees you as a nuisance and scapegoat? Libertarians don’t need to be the GOP’s conscience. We don’t need to be their think tank. We don’t need to be their scapegoats. The Libertarian Party is not perfect. No party is. But it is the only national political organization that: • Opposes government surveillance without exception • Opposes endless war without apology • Opposes corporate welfare without loopholes • Defends civil liberties without picking favorites • Defends economic freedom without selling out to donors • Defends personal freedom without moralizing If you believe in liberty, you deserve a party that believes in it too, not one that uses the word as a slogan while governing like the opposite. I left the GOP almost ten years ago now. The future of liberty will not be built inside a party that rejects it. It will be built by those willing to stand outside it, and stand firm. I hope you will join us. -Chair
