@dbongino Well deserved!

Hey thanks 🙏

There’s a lot of speculation on X about the California governor’s race. As I said yesterday, I was initially intending to wait and see how both Bianco and Hilton campaigned before I made a decision. I was leaning Bianco. As I said yesterday, when I became aware of Bianco’s public kneeling for BLM, I was bothered. But I kept an open mind. And then, I came upon this clip. This was it. Showstopper. Steve Hilton and I had lunch and, after meeting him and getting to know him, I was all in. Now, I proudly support Steve! I’m on Team Steve! Join me! @SteveHiltonx @TeamSteveHilton x.com/TylerKBraaten/…

My prediction. Trump is running the fucking market up and the oil straight into the fucking dirt with the cold-blooded precision of a apex predator who already sees the kill shot three moves ahead. This isn’t random volatility...this is deliberate economic psyops, pure Clausewitz-meets-Wall-Street slaughterhouse strategy. He’s inflating the Dow, pumping the S&P into euphoric delusion, while cratering crude 10%+ on the mirage of “deal close” and Hormuz flowing free. Why? Because the man knows, with the lethal, unblinking insight of a Machiavelli who’s read the mullahs’ death cult playbook cover to cover, that the Iranian regime is constitutionally incapable of compliance. They will not hand over a single gram of that enriched uranium. They will not kneel to long-term enrichment bans. They will not play nice. They are a theocratic viper pit wired for jihad, grievance, and glorious martyrdom...peace is their tactical lie, not their strategic truth. Psychologically, it’s textbook herd manipulation: flood the dopamine circuits of retail traders and institutional lemmings with “ceasefire victory” headlines, let the shorts get greedy, let the longs get sloppy, then drop the hammer... “The regime is not meeting our demands.” Markets don’t just react; they hemorrhage. Oil will rocket back like a goddamn Exocet once the illusion shatters, but by then Trump’s already positioned the board: sanctions snap back harder, alliances lock tighter, and the American energy complex (and its leveraged bets) sits fat and happy while the mullahs’ economy chokes on its own bile. It’s Sun Tzu’s feint elevated to art...appear weak when you are strong, appear conciliatory when you’re loading the clip. Geopolitically, this is 21st-century unrestricted warfare: economic preemption before kinetic necessity. The regime’s “Foreign Ministry” statements are the same recycled horseshit they’ve peddled since ’79...demanding war reparations like the aggressor demanding tribute, rejecting any sovereignty-eroding transfer while their proxies still dream of closing the Strait. They are not rational actors; they are apocalyptic eschatologists who view negotiation as weakness and Western goodwill as bait. Trump understands the philosophy of power: Nietzschean will meets Hobbesian reality. The state of nature isn’t kind to deluded idealists who think fanatics can be housebroken. He’s not hoping for peace...he’s engineering the narrative casus belli so that when the next round ignites, America holds every asymmetric advantage: market dominance, energy leverage, and the moral high ground built on the enemy’s own intransigence. The regime will bite. They always do. And when they do, the venom Trump just injected into the global bloodstream will turn lethal. This isn’t optimism porn. This is the art of the kill, executed with ferocious elegance. 💀⚔️

Hi 👋🏻 I’m Elizabeth, from California. I am a fan, yet I am concerned your decision to weigh in on the California Governor’s race is misguided and counterproductive to the goals we share of supporting the MAGA agenda. You just formed an unholy alliance with the very elements you yourself correctly identified as trying to divide the MAGA base. These include: •Opponents of Trump’s foreign policy •Groypers •Epstein Files Bros •Jew haters (redundant of the above) All of them are in the Bianco camp. Have you researched why that is? Have you seen anything from Bianco that would disavow their support? Have you asked him, as I have, to help keep the Groypers out of the CAGOP? Indeed, I respect the thorough research you usually do but respectfully you cannot do the kind of research necessary from outside California using Grok and an echo chamber of Hilton haters. Your research regarding their positions on immigration was wrong. The most convincing evidence you need to indicate you’re off track here is that Hilton is the only Republican candidate who participated in a forum hosted by California Jewish organizations and is the only Republican candidate endorsed by Israeli-Civic Action Network @ICANAction , a bipartisan pro-Israel organization whose president is a Christian Evangelical Zionist. Both were vetted. One was endorsed. The second most convincing evidence you need to indicate that one of them is more aligned with the MAGA agenda than the other is President Trump’s opinion. Once President Trump endorsed Hilton, Bianco supporters took the opportunity to immediately turn on him. There is no possible way for Bianco’s campaign to proceed without inherently being in opposition to Trump - and for someone concerned with division of the MAGA base, that’s a contradiction. I don’t know why you feel so strongly about weighing in our race or what justifies you speaking over California leaders who otherwise share your goals, but you are wrong here and since you didn’t respond to any of my comments, I felt it my responsibility as Chair of Jewish Community Engagement for the California Republican Party to respond more directly. If you want both to end up in the top two, please stop attacking our frontrunner and reconsider the position you’ve taken. You know how to reach me, and I am happy to talk further. Whomever is guiding you is leading you astray. cc : @misfitpatriot_

DEMOCRATS & THEIR CALIFORNIA PROBLEM Eric Swalwell is long gone with sex allegations and legal problems. He was never going to be a good candidate but his rivals were even crappier: Katie Porter, Tom Steyer, and the San Jose mayor Matt Mahan. But Porter is an extremely unlikeable fat pig who yells at staffers and throws boiling potatoes at her ex-husband’s head. Steyer is a billionaire fruitcake who wants to abolish ICE and turn California into Cuba. Mahan has no chance and is a mini-AOC. So, the Democrat strategist and pundit industry is abuzz. They don’t want Porter for the reasons mentioned above and because oppo research would be deadly. They don’t want Steyer because he’s just an idiot with a lot of money. They think he’ll take over the party’s corporate structure. They don’t want Mahan because he’s has no national reputation, is left of AOC and the Squad, and he simply can’t win. There’s no path. This is where they insert Kamala Harris. As unpopular as she is even in her home state. Democrats are panicked and running out of time. And Kamala wants it. Stay tuned.

This is day 107 of asking @LeaderJohnThune to pass the SAVE America Act.

Every single person who is trying to pretend like they won on the woke right is a joke. Everything you said was wrong nothing that you said came true. This is exactly what happened in June and we are going to rub your face in it every single day until the midterms and beyond. That includes Megan Kelly and Tucker Carlson and Steve Bannon.

My how the mighty have fallen. Giorgia Meloni...once the unbowed lioness of Fratelli d’Italia, the woman who stormed the Quirinale with the fire of a post-fascist insurgency reborn for the 21st century...now stands revealed as a textbook case of institutional capture, that insidious pathology where the radical outsider is slowly, surgically castrated by the eunuchs of Brussels. Sorry, Italy. Your daughter of the right, the one who swore to reclaim sovereignty from the faceless eurocrats, has been neutered with velvet gloves and three-piece suits. What you’re watching in that grotesque Macron hug...his hands pawing her like some prize concubine at the Élysée...is not diplomacy. It is the victory lap of the machine. Power doesn’t just corrupt; it seduces and lobotomizes. Meloni’s rise was pure id...raw, visceral, the authentic roar of a nation choking on unchecked migration, fiscal straitjackets, and cultural erasure. She channeled the collective rage of a people who remembered what it was to be Italian before the Maastricht Treaty turned Rome into a branch office of Frankfurt and Strasbourg. But once inside the palace, the dopamine hits of acceptance flood the system. The invitations to Davos, the backslaps from von der Leyen, the polite applause in the European Parliament...these are the opiates of the elite. The base? Forgotten in the rearview mirror. It’s the classic Stockholm syndrome of the populist: the hostage begins to identify with her captors, rationalizing every compromise as “pragmatism” while her original fire is pathologized as “extremism.” She didn’t just moderate; she submitted. The woman who once called the EU a threat to civilization now plays nice with the very architects of Italy’s demographic and economic decline. History echoes this tragedy with merciless precision. Look at the pattern: the Italian right has been tamed before...MSI post-war, Alleanza Nazionale under Fini, even Berlusconi’s early bunga-bunga defiance collapsing into centrist mush. Meloni was supposed to be the break in the cycle, the one immune to the siren song because her roots ran deeper, her rhetoric forged in the post-’68 backlash against the Christian Democratic rot that sold Italy’s soul to Brussels in the first place. Instead, she has become the continuity candidate in drag. Fiscal discipline over border enforcement. Atlanticist cheerleading over national interest. Hugs with Macron...the same champagne socialist who branded her “far-right” danger to democracy...while Italian families drown in energy costs and replacement-level migration. This is not leadership; this is eunuchification, the surgical removal of ideological testes by a supranational bureaucracy that has spent seventy years perfecting the art of turning lions into house cats. The venom here is not personal; it is diagnostic. Meloni’s betrayal isn’t mere weakness...it is the predictable endpoint of any populist who mistakes the throne for the fight. Italy deserved a sovereign, not a seat at the table. It deserved the unrepentant defender of blood, soil, and civilization, not this polished prop in the EU’s endless theater of managed decline. The mighty have not fallen gracefully; they have been disemboweled with a smile. And the corpse still wears the suit, still takes the photo-ops, still whispers “pragmatism” while the nation bleeds out. Disgrace doesn’t begin to cover it. This is the quiet assassination of a promise. Sorry, Italy...your revolution was televised, then co-opted, then neutered in real time. The eunuchs always win until a new barbarian horde reminds them why they built the walls in the first place. Meloni? She’s already inside.​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​ 💀⚔️

@SecKennedy @WhiteHouse @Gatorade @US_FDA 🙌🏼

Thank you, @Gatorade, for removing artificial FD&C colors and switching to newly @US_FDA–approved plant-based dyes from fruits and vegetables. I urge every food company to follow your lead and join us to Make America Healthy Again.

Clarence Thomas is the best thing that ever happened to the Supreme Court. I hope he lives forever. What do you think?

HAHAHA… FUCKING… LMFAO! Which two ships are they sending? We...the United States of America...need to LEAVE NATO NOW. We, the ones who’ve been carrying this bloated, parasitic alliance on our backs like a broke-ass sugar daddy funding a harem of ingrates who sneer at the bill while demanding round-the-clock protection. This Hormuz farce is Exhibit A in the terminal sickness of “allied” Europe. While the United States...under real leadership...massed carrier strike groups, enforced a hard blockade on Iranian ports, cleared mines with actual warships, and applied the kind of raw pressure that cracked the strait open, what did Starmer and Macron do? They sat on their hands, refused to join the fight, virtue-signaled “strictly defensive” and “non-belligerent,” then rushed in after the real danger passed to co-chair a video conference with forty other spectators. Announcing a “multinational mission” that will probably amount to one half-broken Type 45 destroyer (most of Britain’s six are in refit anyway) and a French frigate or two, waving flags and issuing press releases about “freedom of navigation.” That’s not strategy. That’s cowardice dressed as sophistication. It’s the psychological profile of declining powers: elites so marinated in post-heroic weakness, so terrified of casualties and domestic backlash, that they outsource lethality to America while reserving the right to lecture us on restraint. They want the oil to flow...because Europe’s economy would crater without it...but lack the will, the hulls, the munitions, or the balls to enforce it themselves. So they freeload on U.S. Navy muscle, then strut as co-leaders of the cleanup crew. Geopolitically, NATO has metastasized into a one-way wealth transfer and risk subsidy. The U.S. still shoulders the overwhelming share of the real burden: advanced capabilities, power projection, intelligence, logistics, the nuclear umbrella. Europe talks a big game about “strategic autonomy” yet maintains hollowed-out forces...Britain’s surface fleet a shadow of its former self, Germany’s readiness a joke, most members chronically under 2% GDP on defense until shamed into it. They’ve grown soft, entitled, strategically illiterate. Their militaries are optimized for parades and peacekeeping theater, not great-power naval warfare in contested chokepoints. Real war strategy demands mass, sustainment, and the willingness to sink enemy assets at source. Europe brings press conferences. This isn’t partnership. It’s pathological dependency laced with resentment. The psychology runs deep: a continent that once conquered the world now psychologically allergic to power, projecting its own castration anxiety onto America as “unilateralism” or “bullying.” They need us for hard power but despise the cultural confidence that generates it. Every time we act decisively...as in this Hormuz campaign...they carp from the sidelines, then try to claim credit for the stability our blood and treasure bought. Enough. The United States should exit NATO. Redirect those resources to our own navy, our own Pacific priorities, our own borders, our own lethal edge. Let Europe fund its own defense, build its own fleets, secure its own energy arteries. If Russia or anyone else tests them, they’ll finally discover what actual sovereignty costs...or they’ll learn to negotiate from strength instead of hiding behind Article 5 while we foot the bill. No more circle-jerks in Paris. No more American sons and dollars subsidizing European decadence. America First means shedding the dead weight. The world respects killers who secure their own interests, not endless enablers propping up pussies who lecture while the real work gets done. Hormuz is reopening because we made it happen. Time to stop letting freeloaders write the after-action report. 💀⚔️🇺🇸🦅

Why is the Pope meeting with Democrat operatives? I’m not Catholic so I ask my Catholic friends. Is the Pope expected to meddle on political affairs? What’s going on here?

This and amnesty is what killed it for me with Bianco. This will hurt him dramatically.

🚨 HOLY CRAP! Gavin Newsom has just been caught spending $1.5 MILLION of his OWN PAC money to buy his OWN book, artificially boosting sales He then USED those sales to ask for donations 🤡 A whopping TWO THIRDS of his book sales came from himself You can't make this crap up 😭

WALLS. Pope Leo XIV, the current Vicar of Christ perched in his Roman redoubt, continues the sanctimonious sermonizing of his predecessor...lecturing sovereign nations about the supposed sin of securing their borders, decrying walls as un-Christian, and framing controlled immigration enforcement as an assault on human dignity...his own sovereign microstate, Vatican City, remains a fortified theocratic bunker that would make any border hawk nod in grim recognition. These aren’t quaint medieval relics for tourists to photograph. The Leonine Walls, originally erected in the 9th century by Pope Leo IV after Saracen invaders desecrated St. Peter’s in 846, form a relentless ring of volcanic tuff battlements rising up to forty feet, stretching nearly three kilometers with towers, parapets, and kill zones engineered for defense. Reinforced through centuries of papal power...by Renaissance popes who understood raw survival...these barriers weren’t built to embrace the “wretched refuse”; they were raised to repel it, to safeguard the Church’s treasures, hierarchy, and claim to temporal authority. Gates remain few, heavily screened, and unforgiving. Entry is not a universal human right but a tightly controlled privilege under Vatican sovereignty. Unauthorized intrusion triggers swift legal consequences under the Holy See’s own code...detention, prosecution, expulsion...without the poetic appeals to mercy that Leo directs outward. And the guardians of this 0.44-square-kilometer enclave? The Pontifical Swiss Guard, that elite cadre of 135 handpicked Swiss Catholic warriors, sworn since 1506 under Julius II. Minimum height, rigorous vetting, Catholic fidelity, and a blood oath to defend the Pope to the death. Their Renaissance uniforms mask lethal modernity: they train with pistols, rifles, and submachine guns alongside the ceremonial halberds. In 1527, 147 of their forebears perished to the last man during the Sack of Rome, shielding Clement VII long enough for his escape. They’re backed by the Corps of Gendarmerie, the Vatican’s dedicated armed police force, running checkpoints, surveillance, and zero-tolerance perimeter security that enforces order with clinical efficiency. This is no symbolic honor guard; it’s a professional, armed deterrent protecting the apex of ecclesiastical power, its priceless art vaults, and its institutional continuity. The ancient institution that once commanded Crusades, Papal States armies, inquisitorial terror, and global dominion knows, in its marrow, the iron necessity of walls, gates, and armed fidelity to preserve what is sacred, valuable, and ordered. The Vatican hoards billions in assets, masterpieces, and influence behind these ramparts while its pontiff preaches that Western nations must absorb unchecked flows, cultural fracturing, crime spikes, and demographic upheaval in the name of “welcoming the stranger.” It’s raw elite hypocrisy: rules for thee, impenetrable fortress for me. The same Church that historically wielded temporal swords now drapes itself in the white cassock of universal conscience, demanding open-hearted vulnerability from others while its own domain operates under layered, lethal defense. Tear down your own goddamn walls first, Holy Father. Disband the Swiss Guard, open every gate wide, abolish the screenings and the Gendarmerie, and let the unvetted tide surge through your sovereign enclave without resistance, without vetting, without the iron fist cloaked in piety. Subject your microstate to the same chaos and “compassion” you prescribe for entire civilizations. Until that day, every lecture on borders dripping from the Apostolic Palace is nothing but performative venom...a masterclass in institutional self-preservation masquerading as moral supremacy, from the world’s oldest continuous power structure that has always understood exactly why walls exist: to defend the core from the uncontrolled periphery. 💀⚔️

I am bone-weary...fucking exhausted...of the black-pilling vermin slithering through our discourse like intellectual tapeworms, gorging on their own bile while the architect of American resurgence executes a masterclass in geopolitical vivisection that would make Machiavelli blush and Sun Tzu nod in grim approval. These psychological cripples, these defeatist pathologists of the soul, cannot see the scalpel for the memes. They fixate on tweets, on papal photo-ops, on phantom “No Kings” hysterics, because confronting raw strategic dominance would shatter their cherished narrative of inevitable American decline...their masochistic theology of loss, where every victory is reframed as coincidence and every masterstroke dismissed as “not enough, never enough.” It is not analysis; it is a pathology. A cognitive cancer born of learned helplessness, where the weak mind, terrified of its own irrelevance, projects impotence onto the Lion of Mar-a-Lago and calls it realism. Look closer, you gutless sophists... Trump is not “muddling through.” He is rewriting the map of power in real time, choking the dragon at every artery while the black-pillers whine about domestic aesthetics like eunuchs critiquing gladiators. Panama, that vital chokepoint of the Americas...has been pried from Beijing’s Belt and Road stranglehold through unrelenting pressure. No more Chinese footholds in the canal that bisects our hemisphere. Venezuela follows: Maduro snatched like a common cartel thug from his fortified lair (Russian and Chinese air defenses vaporized by American precision, zero U.S. casualties), severing the cheap oil lifeline to China and Cuba. Havana is now on its knees, begging to negotiate. Caracas is out of the Belt and Road game entirely. The Donroe Doctrine isn’t a slogan anymore; it is enforced reality. The Americas are once again our unchallenged sphere, the backyard reclaimed while the CCP watches its hemispheric investments rot. Middle Eastern influence? Hemorrhaging. And now the Indo-Pacific masterstroke: Indonesia, long neutral, locked into a Major Defense Cooperation Partnership granting U.S. operational airspace dominance over the Strait of Malacca...the narrow throat through which 40% of global trade and the lion’s share of China’s Middle Eastern oil must pass. Paired with strengthened Philippine defense pacts controlling the Luzon Strait, Bashi Channel, and Balbac Strait, we now possess the lethal architecture to interdict up to eighty percent of China’s seaborne petroleum imports when combined with Hormuz. This is not diplomacy. This is blockade calculus. This is Thucydides’ trap sprung in reverse...not China containing us, but us encircling the dragon’s windpipe with surgical chokepoints while Beijing’s debt-traps unravel and its supply lines fray. Philosophically, this is Clausewitz distilled to its lethal essence: war is politics by other means, and logistics is the hidden god of empires. Control the arteries, and the body politic bleeds out without a shot fired in anger. The black-pillers, those psychological defectives addicted to the dopamine of doom, cannot process it. Their pathology is simple...projection. They are the ones who fold at the first reversal, who mistake strategic patience for surrender, who would rather prophesy collapse than admit a superior intellect is orchestrating a renaissance they lack the fortitude to defend. It is the coward’s philosophy: better to be right about inevitable defeat than wrong about improbable victory. So spare me your black pills, you soy-saturated, meme-addled defeatists. While you black-pill over aesthetics and hypotheticals, the Republic is reasserting dominance with a precision that history will study for centuries. Trump is not even playing chess. He is conducting a symphony of realpolitik that leaves China economically asphyxiated and our adversaries recalibrating their entire worldview in panic. 💀⚔️🦅🇺🇸

Ilhan Omar has come out in full embrace of Marjorie Taylor Green and Candace Owens. And yes. I told you. And yes the rest of these people who sound like them are no different than Ilhan Omar.
