  • Performative Wreckage

    Performative Wreckage
    noun

    A political strategy involving the deliberate sabotage of constitutional order and governmental stability for the purpose of personal notoriety. Its practitioners abandon the duty of legislation in favor of headline-grabbing stunts that usurp executive functions, showing a reckless disregard for the nation’s welfare—akin to imposing ruinous economic policies merely to revel in the ensuing chaos.

  • The GOP’s ‘Chaos Caucus’ Is Paving the Way for a Trump Impeachment

    It’s becoming impossible to ignore the formation of a bizarre and deeply concerning political alliance between figures like Nancy Mace, Marjorie Taylor Greene, and Thomas Massie, with others like Anna Paulina Luna and Tim Burchett clearly operating from the same playbook. Their actions reek of a desperate, calculated push for relevance that has little to do with substantive governance and everything to do with generating headlines and manufacturing chaos.

    We see a pattern of performative stunts designed to distract. MTG admits she didn’t even read Trump’s “One Big Beautiful Bill” before voting on it, then creates a spectacle to cover her own negligence. Mace acts as if she’s a representative for the United Kingdom, demanding the arrest of Prince Andrew. This isn’t random; it’s strategic.

    A central pillar of this strategy is the relentless push on the UAP/UFO issue, championed by figures like Burchett and Luna. First, they captured headlines with the Epstein files. Now, it seems the UAP/UFO narrative is the next card they’re all preparing to play.

    But here is where the intentions get truly weird and suspect. The ultimate goal of these manufactured spectacles, from Epstein to extraterrestrials, isn’t to hold the powerful accountable. It’s to create a chaotic media environment designed to, bizarrely enough, gin up support for the DNC. By dominating the conversation with conspiracies and sensationalism, they make the entire Republican party look unstable and unserious, pushing mainstream voters towards the perceived stability of the Democrats.

    This all feeds back into the more sinister, long-term play. With Massie’s history of clashing with Donald Trump, this calculated chaos is the perfect smokescreen. They are “spiking the punch bowl” to set the stage for a dramatic, headline-grabbing impeachment attempt against Trump in 2026. It’s a PR stunt designed to inflict maximum political damage heading into the 2028 election cycle, and the enthusiastic participation of Mace and others shows they are key players in this gambit.

    This is precisely why President Trump needs to get in front of this nonsense immediately. He needs to call it out for what it is: a coordinated campaign of distraction and political theater by supposed allies who are, in reality, undermining his agenda and the entire America First movement. He must expose their bizarre intentions before they can play their next card and derail the real work that needs to be done for the American people.

  • A Call for Precision: We Must Stop Alienating Conservatives on the West Coast

    There is a critical problem we must address immediately: the dangerous and inaccurate conflation of conservatives in California, Washington, and Oregon with the radical leftist administrations that rule them.

    The stakes are too high for careless talk. When the governors of these states form an unpatriotic “health alliance” to defy President Trump, it is an act of the radical left. It is not an act supported by the millions of conservatives in those states. These are not “progressive” administrations; they are, as many of us see it, driven by radical leftist, communist, and Islamist ideologies that are fundamentally at odds with American values.

    To paint these entire states with one broad, blue brush is a severe injustice to those on the front lines, fighting against these very policies. When a MAGA supporter attacks “California” or “Oregon” as a whole, they are attacking the patriots who live there.

    The frustration is boiling over, leading to serious discussions about secession, like the “Greater Idaho” or “Jefferson” movement. This is not a joke. American patriots with families feel utterly disenfranchised. My interaction today, which forced me to block a user, was a direct result of this issue being treated too casually. The user’s imprecise language in this critical situation was unacceptable.

    The time for games is over. It is time for disciplined, precise language. We must clearly differentiate between the tyrannical, radical leftist leaders like Gavin Newscum and the conservative citizens they oppress.

    Make this crucial distinction. Direct your fire at the radical administrations, not at the people they misrepresent. It is carelessness what I observed today.

  • Kennedy’s War on the Sick System

    When it comes to dismantling the corrupt public health establishment, Robert F. Kennedy Jr. isn’t just the best solution; he is the only solution. He is the GOAT, the one leader with the courage to force the reckoning we desperately need, and that reckoning must begin at the source: the deafening, outrageous silence of Wuhan’s “bat lady,” Shi Zhengli.

    This is the central issue. While our country was shut down and our economy wrecked, the scientist at the epicenter of the gain-of-function research controversy has offered nothing. Her silence is a damning indictment of the entire corrupt, globalist enterprise that unleashed this hell on the world, a cover-up so profound that it took a group of citizen-researchers, DRASTIC, to expose the truth with the Project DEFUSE documents.

    This foundational lie infects everything that followed, especially the chaotic narrative around long COVID. We hear conflicting stories from all sides: Fauci demanding more money, Malone speaking of his own negative experience, and Gottlieb trying to normalize it. Frankly, I align with Dr. Marty Makary: the issue has been “massively exaggerated and overplayed.”

    The establishment wants us focused on fear and phantom syndromes, but the real path forward is found in strength, vitality, and personal responsibility. This is what the Kennedy/Hegseth fitness challenge is all about. It’s a positive vision for health that the failed public health bureaucrats completely ignore. Instead of pushing mandates and pills, we should be promoting metabolic health and physical readiness. If people embraced this philosophy, they would understand that a strong, healthy body is the ultimate defense.

    Now, that doesn’t mean we shouldn’t investigate the condition. We absolutely need to diagnostically probe it, especially its response to exercise, which I believe would be incredibly revealing. Full disclosure, I do sometimes invest in these types of diagnostic and therapeutic companies, so to an extent, I am talking my book. But I truly believe a rigorous, unbiased investigation will prove that the real solution lies in the personal health and fitness that Kennedy so powerfully embodies.

    This is precisely why Kennedy’s mission is so vital. He is the only leader with the courage to reject the corrupt, pharma-driven model and champion a new paradigm based on strength and individual empowerment. He’s not just fixing a broken agency; he’s leading us back to a vision of American health that is strong, resilient, and free.

  • ‪Can Electors Go Rogue? The “Faithless Elector”‬

    ‪Can Electors Go Rogue? The “Faithless Elector”‬

    An elector can vote against the popular vote of their state. This is known as being a “faithless elector.” Historically, however, this has been rare and has never changed the outcome of a presidential election.

    Who are the electors? They are chosen by the political parties in each state. They are often party loyalists, chosen to recognize their service.

    Are there rules against it? Yes, many states have laws that require electors to vote for the candidate they are pledged to. The Supreme Court has upheld these laws, allowing states to penalize or replace faithless electors. As of 2024, 38 states and D.C. have such laws.

  • Hey Rep. Issa, I’ll Take That Bet: Here Are the Democrats Who Will Support Law Enforcement.

    Rep. Issa, regarding your “Over/Under on how many Democrats will support law enforcement,” I’ll happily take the over. You might be guessing not many, but I’m betting on a flicker of common sense from a handful who understand that “condemning violence against law enforcement” should be the easiest bipartisan win of the century.

    My guesstimate? You’ll get about 10 Democrats to vote YES on your resolution.

    Here’s the scouting report on the Democrats most likely to break ranks and join you, and why:

  • The Phoenix Plan: A Blueprint for American Rebirth

    The Phoenix Plan: A Blueprint for American Rebirth

    Prioritize national strength, economic independence, and internal order.

    Core Principles

    • Competent Government: Before voting on any bill, members of Congress must have one week to read it and pass a test to prove they understand it.
    • “Fortress America” Economy: The plan aims for a self-reliant economy. This includes:
      • Taxes: Making current individual tax rates permanent while eliminating special-interest loopholes, the Child Tax Credit, and complex corporate taxes.
      • Trade and Investment: Using tariffs to protect critical industries and offering residency to foreigners who make multi-million dollar investments in the U.S.
      • Ending Corporate Crime: Forcing companies to be specific about how they use investor money. Seized assets from convicted executives and banks will fund their own prosecution and imprisonment.
      • Nationalizing Crypto: Making all private cryptocurrency transactions illegal. The entire crypto system will be seized and reserved as a financial weapon for the military to use only during a declared war.
      • Honest Money: Transitioning away from the Federal Reserve to a system where the U.S. Treasury issues debt-free money directly.
