Prayers up for @ScottAdamsSays . One of the first to have the courage and discernment to see and call out the generational talent @realDonaldTrump brought to the political arena. A brilliant and wise man who always shows up and does his best to explain and understand the world. Thank you for showing us the path to the golden age Scott.

This is a formal request for Susie Wiles and James Blair to stop harassing me with texts and calls. If there is a factual inaccuracy in what I said, send it to me in writing and I will vigorously correct and apologize for any misstatements. I will note that everything I said is substantiated by other senior officials. If you want to file a lawsuit and get into discovery of whether it’s provably true that Ballard and Continental had an undue influence on the White House policy process, do it. I believe we are in an existential moment for the country, and Americans were owed an honest accounting of the past two years so we identify the problems we need to move on from.

There is still time to bring @realErikDPrince into the Trump administration and empower him to unleash holy war on the invaders There are still two years Don’t let the gaggle of foid saboteurs have the last word

1900: Everybody cooks in tallow, lard and butter. The word diet means what a person eats. Obesity rate: 3%. 1911: "It's all vegetable!" Crisco, boiled out of cotton mill waste, goes on sale in a tin. Obesity rate: 3%. 1948: "The fat on your plate is killing you." A physiologist with a graph and a magazine cover. Obesity rate: 10%. 1961: "Swap the butter for polyunsaturated oil. Your heart will thank you." Obesity rate: 13%. 1977: "Eat less fat. Eat more grain. We have thought about this." Obesity rate: 15%. 1980: "Avoid too much fat, saturated fat and cholesterol." Printed, posted, taught. Obesity rate: 15%. 1984: "Hold the eggs and butter." A face made of bacon on the front of Time. Obesity rate: 15%. 1990: "Get the beef tallow out of the fryers." The chips have never tasted the same since. Obesity rate: 23%. 1994: "Fat free! Eat as much as you like." And they did. Obesity rate: 25%. 2000: Seed oil is now in the bread, the hummus, the baby formula and the drip. Nobody mentions it. Obesity rate: 30%. 2010: "Keep saturated fat under 10% of calories." The one food group still falling. Obesity rate: 36%. 2015: "Replace saturated fats with unsaturated fats." The same sentence, 54 years running, read out by new people. Obesity rate: 38%. 2020: Seed oil is a fifth of every calorie in America. Obesity rate: 42%. 2022: "Take the injection." Weekly. For life. Obesity rate: 42%. 2026: "It's the saturated fat." Obesity rate: 42%. Every instruction on that list is still in force today. Not one has ever been withdrawn. They have never once gone back down the list to see which rung the fire started on. They just screw the next one on and tell you to keep climbing.

This week is why I'm tired of hearing about Tucker Carlson. Three people got spectacularly wealthy by their proximity to Trump - Susie Wiles, James Blair, and Chris LaCivita. It was their job to win the midterms. They failed catastrophically. Yet my timeline is full of Tucker this, Nick Fuentes that. Was it Tucker who sold MAHA out to Bayer and gas station heroin companies? Was it Fuentes who said that mass deportations were unpopular, and that Trump should stop them? Was it Candace telling Trump that 94% of MAGA supported the Iran war? Was it Comic Dave Smith saying that Trump should tell people who wanted the Epstein files to be unsealed to sit out the midterms? Did they take $10,000,000 a year for 5 years for a "job" - corruption of such unbelievability that it wouldn't clear the writers room of the Sopranos. We are such a childish culture that we don't know how to appoint accountability. Or are afraid to. People go after Nick and Tucker because it's safe. Nobody will lose their access to the White House. Nobody will have the goon squads coordinate in group chats about them. Some may even be rewarded by head pats or maybe receive a small allowance from a billionaire donor. Where as if you bring up corruption within the White House, there's a problem. Admin figures won't go on the YouTube slop shows. You won't get invited to events. I was specifically black listed from the Easter Egg roll. That's how petty these people are. My kid couldn't go the White House because I wouldn't shill for the Iran war. Anyone who spends their time on Tucker / Candace / Nick while never reporting on the real corruption and self-enrichment are telling on themselves. They sold their souls to stay in the good graces of very disgusting people. They sold you out. Now none of this means you shouldn't criticize anyone. I don't like that Tucker calls himself "just a podcaster." I don't call myself an "influencer." Like it or not, we have a higher calling from God. People are modeling themselves and forming their worldviews on what they read and watch and listen to. This doesn't make anyone responsible for what someone else does, but we should all feel a heavy weight each night. We should feel inadequate to the task. Like we failed somehow, but will nevertheless wake up the next day and do it all over again. Even so, what exactly can Tucker (or I) do? He can't control information flow to Trump. He doesn't come from a lobbying shop that made $100,000,000 last year and this year, and that has richly rewarded him. I sometimes watch his show and see his posts, most of the time I don't. That's not shade or negging. Nobody is reading all of my posts. Let's be real here. Everyone is busy. Every day, James / Chris / Susie have access to Trump. They are rich beyond your wildest dreams. What did they do with this power? Why doesn't anyone ever ask about *that*? We all know why. There are real consequences to taking on the big industries that we were sold out to. They'll plant stories, send out group chats to go after you, try getting you fired, and threaten to kill you. The good news of an ass kicking is that there's no way to rationalize it. A close election could have led to excuse making. We are now facing a disaster. TEXAS IS BLUE. Because Grassley and the Senate refused to modify outdated rules, Democrats are in control of Cabinet appointments for at least the next 4 years. There are people responsible for this. Very rich and powerful people. Let's see more discussion of them.

This is insanity

This is how it's done

Calley Means just went on Joe Rogan and blew up at Susie Wiles for destroying MAHA. “She spent her career taking money from Benjamin Netanyahu.” “The pharmaceutical industry.” “The pesticide industry.” “Trump’s administration has been infiltrated by the very people that he energized voters to say he would get out of DC.” “Susie Wiles is the most powerful chief of staff in modern American history.” “She has a couple of deputies.” “James Blair … long-term political consultant.” “He’s taken a lot of money from … special interests.” “The sugar industry.” “Walker Barrett.” “Susie’s neighbor in Florida.” “Junior guy, but extremely powerful.” “Richard Walters.” “A kind of mid-level fundraiser.” “He came from a lobbying firm … that lobbied for pesticides.” “Lobbied for pharma.” “These are the most powerful people in the country.” “Tony Fabrizio.” “He takes money from Pepsi.” “He takes money from pharmaceutical companies.” “He takes money from almost every single industry we’re fighting against right now to this day.” “Susie’s daughter became a lobbyist.” “The group Susie’s daughter worked for had almost zero in revenue before the Trump administration.” “Shot up to $30-ish million a year in revenue.” “If you’re a special interest and you want to get something done, the secret’s out.” “You pay Susie’s daughter.” “And then Susie worked at a firm called Ballard Partners.” “Ballard Partners has become the highest revenue-generation lobbying firm in history.” “If you hire Ballard, you get a meeting with Susie.” “And you can get things done.” Joe Rogan: “Is this normal?” Means: “This is how it works for 30 years.” @calleymeans @joerogan

Leadership

Ron Baron asked Elon Musk how many CEOs live on site in an Airstream and work hands-on with everyone. MUSK: “Airstreams are actually pretty nice... It’s parked right next to the power plant.” “We built this power plant that’s producing over a gigawatt... in about a year, as opposed to normally about five years.” “There is no upstairs.” He walks the entire site up to five times a day. He’s pulled power cables “the size of an anaconda,” run fiber, wired switches, and worked on the power plant software. “I try to do at least a little bit of everything, so that I’m not numb to the pain of the people who are actually doing it.” “It’s not as though I’m sitting in an office and somebody has to come to me. I’m walking the floor, asking them questions actively.” There’s a reason SpaceX is winning the compute race.

preach brother Baris

Governor DeSantis GOES OFF on Vivek Ramaswamy. “How bad did they beat Vivek like a drum? Now, part of that was Vivek, quite frankly. I don't know why they would have pushed him to be the candidate there. My mom's from Youngstown. Ohio is a working-class state, very blue-collar. You know, Vivek, he's like a tech guy, did this Alzheimer's drug, and he wants to bring in people, foreign worker on visas. That is not the type of person that's going to sell. And I know he shot himself in the foot. I know he did a lot of other stuff to make it a real landslide against him. But even with that, it's like, you got to meet the voters where they are on some of this stuff. I think we would have done better in Ohio had we had a candidate that was more representative or more in tune with the interests of kind of these blue-collar people that make the backbone of Ohio. But they got blown out there.”

It was the Iran war. It was the meme coin rug pulls, which demoralized young men who know how those scams work. It was Susie banning MAHA from the White House. All of these issues were discussed on X. The admin and Republicans did not care. That's on them.

lol

I talked about this a lot the last 6 months but my Boy has been stuck at his first job after filling out dozens of applications and can't even get an interview for high school level jobs even though they're hiring. He has a great work ethic, never calls in and balances work and school. My nieces and Daughter can switch jobs at will, I have one niece that has been at 4 different jobs this year because she keeps quitting or getting fired. Young White men are being discriminated against. Anyone with a son knows it. This wasn't even brought up by the GOP in the last 2 years. A big part of the problem.

This is a great post. Thank you for your honesty @JDVance

Exit polls are showing the GOPs perceived strict immigration enforcement was one of their few winning issues. The Iran war was a massive losing issue.

I remember making 40k with a wife and two babies and having nothing left at the end of the month after rent and groceries, and I think about it still every day. If you’re struggling to make ends meet and keep your family fed with a roof over their heads, that struggle is simply the most pressing and urgent matter in your life and nothing else really comes close. This is something that many Republican politicians and conservative “thought leaders” still do not understand and maybe never will.

I had some good years in my 30's, reinvested money, built out businesses, and then cancel culture hit. (People have no idea what it was like on the back end, you couldn't even get payment processing.) I was living off of credit cards and trying to find a way to pull a rabbit from a hat. All I could do was run the math of when I'd have to tell my wife and kids we officially had nothing. Meanwhile you don't say these things because you want your kids to have a normal childhood, you don't want to stress out your wife, and you can hide a lot of financial troubles from them, but I look back and my face is beet red and swollen. I still exercised hard but you can't escape the cortisol bomb of obsessing over whether this is the month you're wiped out. That's what people are going through now. We are all the Red Baron pizza man and nobody next to Trump gives a shit. Trump 47 is all a get rich quick scheme for them as they take foreign trips, sell pardons, and do God knows what else. I have no remaining patience for the neocons, chickenhawks, World Liberty Financial, buying private islands, and taking money from Gulf country for your "investment fund." All of these people are repulsive, which in politics doesn't matter if they can deliver wins for the great good of the country. Now we see - they can't even do that.

🚨 WOW. Gov. Ron DeSantis is GOING OFF right now post-blue tsunami: "I see the ad, 'so and so voted against releasing the Epstein Files.' I'm like, that's a bad vote. We ran as Republicans saying we need to do that. And you have people in Congress voting against release when the Attorney General said she had all the all this horrific stuff on her desk and that people are gonna be held accountable?!" "It's untenable when you have people going in trading stocks! I've never traded stocks since I've been in elected office. How do you have no investment acumen, and then all of a sudden get elected to Congress, and then you're outperforming Warren Buffett?" "I saw how they were running and it was a rejection of what was going on in DC."

According to exit polls, 74 percent of voters said the Iran war was a crucial or major factor in their vote. 62 percent of those voters sided with Democrats in today’s election. We had a generational opportunity and a massive coalition in 2024, and neocons pissed it all away for yet another pointless Middle East war.
