Looks like the Democrats are finally done with Swalwell

This week, the Senate will hold two more pro-forma sessions to prevent President Trump from making recess appointments. The first one lasted 33 seconds. Not one Republican Senator stepped forward to stop this. @realDonaldTrump @JDVance @SenateGOP @LeaderJohnThune

Here it is: The Democratic Party. Virginia voters are waking up today and realizing they’ve elected a murderer—Dem Gov. Abigail Spanberger. Her anti-ICE and sanctuary policies have allowed illegal aliens to brutally murder Virginians—again and again: • An illegal alien charged with killing his own three-month-old daughter. • An illegal alien charged with stabbing a man to death. • An illegal alien with more than two dozen prior arrests charged with stabbing a woman to death at a bus stop. Every vote for Democrats makes you complicit.

🚨EASTER SUNDAY TERROR ATTACK Islamic terrorists in Pakistan just drove a truck into a crowd of Christian worshippers during an Easter Sunday vigil. Multiple people are dead, and at least 60 more are critically injured. And once again, the West is silent. This is genocide.

We hold that Scripture is the Inspired Word of God but that the Church is likewise His inspired Church. #CatholicX #CatholicTwitter

This is exactly the person George Orwell wrote about

Elon Musk just dropped $10 million into the Kentucky Senate race for Nate Morris, who is running to take RINO Mitch McConnell's seat in Kentucky. Nate Morris is full MAGA. LFG!

@lsferguson Should he resign? I think he has to now.

This should concern everyone. The story has more or less vanished

Exactly

The collapse of Western civilization is being broadcast live from Buckingham Palace. We are witnessing the total ideological surrender of an institution that once projected unquestioned global dominance. The British monarchy has been entirely captured by the parasitic left. The radical left demands the complete eradication of our cultural heritage and historic identity. King Charles III has eagerly volunteered to be the architect of his own nation's demise. He operates as a spineless puppet for globalist interests and domestic left-wing radicals who completely despise the native population of the West. American conservatives must observe this pathetic spectacle across the Atlantic as a dire, urgent warning. The left will relentlessly infiltrate every foundational institution and demand absolute, humiliating submission. Charles is the ultimate manifestation of the weak, compromised leader cultivated by the liberal elite. He is a man who swore a sacred, binding coronation oath to preserve the settlement of the Church of England. He swore a holy vow to be the Defender of the Faith. He has chosen instead to act as the chief appeaser for a militant, foreign ideology that seeks to erase British identity entirely. The evidence of his treason against his own people is undeniable and repulsive. Buckingham Palace has confirmed that King Charles will not deliver an Easter message to Christians in 2026. He will remain completely silent on the holiest day of the Christian calendar. He ignores the brutal, systematic slaughter of Christians in places like Nigeria. He refuses to offer a single word of solidarity to the faithful who serve as the historical and moral bedrock of his own nation. He deliberately turns his back on the exact people who provide his crown with its remaining legitimacy. He reserves his enthusiasm and his royal privilege strictly for the enemies of Western tradition. He gleefully throws open the doors of Windsor Castle to host Ramadan Iftars, defiling a thousand years of history to appease radical elements. He delivers groveling, desperate greetings to the Muslim community while praising their supposedly tolerant ways. He ignores the horrific realities ravaging his country. He ignores the grooming gangs preying on young girls. He ignores the no-go zones where British law no longer applies. He ignores the rapid demographic replacement engineered by left-wing politicians who view national suicide as a supreme virtue. He falsely believes that bending the knee to foreign cultures will earn him their respect. He is a catastrophic fool. These populations view him exactly as we do. They see a pathetic, weak coward who is practically begging to be conquered. Niccolò Machiavelli correctly established that it is far safer for a leader to be feared than to be loved. Charles desperately seeks the love of populations that fundamentally despise him. By abandoning strength for the illusion of multicultural affection, he guarantees that he will be neither loved nor feared. He will only be entirely consumed. The left always weaponizes tolerance to destroy the tolerant. Charles is happily handing them the blade. True power dictates that a leader must defend the core identity of his realm with ruthless, unwavering conviction. Strategic dominance requires projecting overwhelming strength to deter subversion and secure absolute loyalty. Charles projects only an embarrassing, pathetic desperation for the approval of left-wing media elites and multicultural extremists. He trades his historic birthright for fleeting applause from people who hate him, hate his country, and hate everything his ancestors built. His pathetic behavior is the exact blueprint followed by the Democrat party in America. The Democrats are a collection of treacherous, low-IQ scavengers who actively facilitate the invasion of our borders to destroy the American worker. They champion the exact same cultural rot, demanding we celebrate our own replacement while they pillage our national wealth. Liberal politicians are identical to Charles. They are parasites who prioritize foreign criminals and radical ideologies over the safety and prosperity of the native population. We must view the Democrat party as a malignant tumor that exists only to dismantle our absolute sovereignty. Every single Democrat is an active participant in this engineered national decline. This undeniable dereliction of duty demands immediate, severe consequences. King Charles has violated his coronation oath in front of the entire world. He has abandoned the Church he was sworn to protect by divine mandate. He has insulted the native British population and spat on their rich history. He must resign immediately. The throne is entirely wasted on a man who prefers to kneel in dhimmitude rather than stand as a fierce guardian for his own civilization. He must abdicate and allow the institution to be cleansed of this humiliating leftist rot. We cannot tolerate leaders who negotiate the terms of their own surrender. We in America must draw a hard, unforgiving line against the Democrat vermin who orchestrate the exact same cultural suicide here at home. The left relies entirely on the cowardice of established leaders to achieve their destructive goals. We will not offer them cowards. We will offer them total, unrelenting resistance. We will expose their hypocrisies, dismantle their false narratives, and crush their political ambitions. We must purge the radical left from every single lever of power and restore our republic with cold, uncompromising force. The era of conservative appeasement is permanently over. If you like my comments, please consider following me at @EternaRepublica where I will dismantle the left entirely without mercy.

Five years ago I was telling people: "There are going to be mass conversions to Catholicism in the next several decades," and people said I was out of my mind. Now we have many dioceses that have more than doubled the number of converts they received last year. Some are up as high as 150% year-over-year. The pattern is consistent and it is global: people are coming back to the Catholic Church in stunningly high numbers. Why? Because every other structure for making sense of the world has FAILED in the West. Mainline Protestantism went liberal and entered a death spiral. Evangelical Protestantism is fractionalized into thousands of incoherent and conflicting denominations. Modern secular liberalism has offered an utterly barren materialist philosophy of life and its purpose, has worked to de-sacralize life and promote nihilism -- and has ultimately been the handmaiden of neoliberal capitalism and the confusing miasma of a "post-truth" world. Eastern Orthodoxy remains disunified, doctrinally confused, and unable to convene an ecumenical council for the last 1200 years. New Age and Eastern faiths remain obscure and vague. What remains? The Catholic Church remains. It's the only institution still in existence that has retained a coherent moral theology, a sound and well-reasoned doctrine, and a definite claim to Apostolic authority. It's teachings are consistent and clearly congruent with a functional Church that really does "make disciples of all nations." Its sacramental theology honors the actual teachings of Christ. But most of all: the Catholic Church is not "making it up as it goes along." Expect more of this. We are just getting started with a revival that is going to completely alter the course of the twenty-first century.

This is why Americans are the deadliest fighters on earth. I met a priest yesterday who just got accepted to chaplain school in Newport. I asked him the obvious question: Marines or Navy? Navy, he said. His face fell a little. He told me he could never be a Marine because every Marine is a rifleman, and as a priest he can’t carry a weapon. He’s hoping to get assigned to a Marine unit anyway. All chaplains are Navy officers, so that’s the only door in. I laughed. I feel a little bad about that. Then I explained to him what “Devil Doc” means. The Marine Corps doesn’t have medics. They use Navy Corpsmen. I told him: when you get out to the fleet, find a Marine sergeant with a couple of Purple Hearts and tell him Devil Docs “aren’t real Marines.” Be prepared to duck. Marines are violently particular about who gets to wear their uniform. Navy Corpsmen and Navy chaplains who have eaten dirt alongside them in combat qualify. Full stop. My dad was Air Force. Not even Navy. I remember going to VFW halls with him as a kid. Someone would ask him what service, he’d say Air Force, and the room would chuckle a little. Then they’d find out he was a medic, and the air in the room changed. Something close to reverence. Dad hated being honored. He had one line he used to deflect it: “I didn’t do much. Save your praise for my cousin the PJ.” That always broke the ice. PJs are the Air Force special operators who go into hell to pull downed pilots out. They will take casualties and are prepared to die to rescue a single pilot or crewman. The math doesn’t math out. Why would any combat force take multiple casualties to rescue one air force jet jockey? What the padre is about to learn is that the military has a hierarchy that has nothing to do with rank, and nothing to do with the service stitched on your chest. Have you deployed? Have you seen combat? In every firefight there are men who move toward the guns and men who hang back. And when the guy at the tip of the spear is pinned down, bleeding, with rounds cracking past his head, there is exactly one word he screams into the radio. “Medic.” Here is the catch, and it is the whole reason America fights the way America fights. That Marine is willing to push forward into fire BECAUSE he knows the Corpsman is coming. He knows the medevac birds will land in the hot LZ. He knows the Devil Doc will drag him out by his plate carrier if it comes to that. And, if the medic can’t help, if he has what Dad called “injuries incompatible with life,” he knows that chaplain will crawl on his belly to administer last rights and deliver him to heaven. The F-15 pilot punching out over enemy territory knows the same thing. He knows the PJs will move heaven and earth to reach him, and turn whatever is shooting at him into a smoking crater of hell on earth on the way in. This is the quiet math underneath American violence. Our warriors are the fiercest on earth not because they are more aggressive, not just because they are better trained, or better equipped, though they are all of those things. They are the fiercest because they know, in their bones, that when they key the mic and call for help, help is coming in hot. Take that away, and you don’t have the U.S. military anymore. You have a security force.

What’s driving the Catholic renewal in America isn’t primarily a spirit of rebellion among the youth, but a yearning among a broad swath of American society for truth, goodness, and beauty amid the ruin of modern life. It is above all a rejection of liberal modernity and all its broken promises, and the discovery of something real — the realest possible thing — in the Catholic Mass.

Gavin Newsom -- "I played college baseball at Univ. of Santa Clara -- I was recruiting because my swing reminded the coaches of Will Clark, 1B for the SF Giants." Lie. Never played for Santa Clara. Enrolled in the fall of 1985. Will Clark made his MLB debut for the Giants in 1986. "One of the reasons for my divorce from Kimberly Guilfoyle was because she had taken a job with Fox News and that just didn't work as the First Lady of San Francisco." Guilfoyle took a job with Court TV in Jan. 2004, for which she moved to New York. Newsom won the Mayor's race 2 months earlier -- Nov. 2003. Sounds like a really solid marriage. They announced they were separated and filing for divorce in Jan. 2005 -- one year after she left. Their divorce was final Feb. 2006. Guilfoyle started working for Fox News as host of a weekend crime show "The Lineup" -- first appearance was Feb. 10, 2006. From 2004 to 2006 she had appeared as a legal analyst on CNN and ABC. Just another lie that rolls off his tongue like he can't separate reality from fiction in his life "story". "Narcissistic Personality Disorder" (NPD): This is an official diagnosis in the DSM-5. It is characterized by a pervasive pattern of grandiosity, a constant need for admiration, and a lack of empathy.

@BillAckman @X Absolutely agree. Reward excellence, and strive to minimize waste, fraud and abuse. No exceptions.

I am reaching out to the @X community for advice with the likely risk of sharing TMI. I have been sufficiently upset about the whole matter that I have lost sleep thinking about it and I am hoping that this post will enable me to get this matter off my chest. By way of background, I started a family office called TABLE about 15 years ago and hired a friend who had previously managed a family office, and years earlier, had been my personal accountant. She is someone that I trusted implicitly and consider to be a good person. The office started small, but over the last decade, the number of personnel and the cost of the office grew massively. The growth was entirely on the operational side as the investment team has remained tiny. While my investment portfolio grew substantially, the investments I had made were almost entirely passive and TABLE simply needed to account for them and meet capital calls as they came in. While TABLE purchased additional software and other systems that were supposed to improve productivity, the team kept increasing in size at a rapid rate, and the expenses continued to grow even faster. While I would periodically question the growing expenses and high staff turnover, I stayed uninvolved with the office other than a once-a-year meeting when I briefly reviewed the operations and the financials and determined bonus compensation for the President and the CFO. I spent no time with any of the other employees or the operations. The whole idea behind TABLE was that it would handle everything other than my day job so that I would have more time for my job and my family. Over the last six years, expenses ballooned even further, employee turnover accelerated, and I became concerned that all was not well at TABLE. It was time for me to take a look at what was going on. Nearly four years ago, I recruited my nephew who had recently graduated from Harvard and put him to work at Bremont, a British watchmaker, one of my only active personal investments to figure out the issues at the company and ultimately assist in executing a turnaround. He did a superb job. When he returned from the UK late last year after a few years at Bremont, I asked him to help me figure out what was going on with TABLE. When I explained to TABLE’s president what he would be doing, she became incredibly defensive, which naturally made me more concerned. My nephew went to work by first meeting with each employee to understand their roles at the company and to learn from them what ideas they had on how things could be improved. He got an earful. Our first step in helping to turn around TABLE was a reduction in force including the president and about a third of the team, retaining excellent talent that had been desperate for new leadership. Now here is where I need your advice. All but one of the employees who were terminated acted professionally and were gracious on the way out (excluding the president who had a notice period in her contract, is currently still being paid, and with whom I have not yet had a discussion). The highest compensated terminated employee other than the president, an in-house lawyer (let’s call her Ronda), told us that three months of severance was not enough and demanded two years’ severance despite having worked at the company for only two and one half years. When I learned of Ronda's request for severance, I offered to speak with her to understand what she was thinking, but she refused to do so. A few days ago, we received a threatening letter from a Silicon Valley law firm. In the letter, Ronda’s counsel suggests that her termination is part of longstanding issues of ‘harassment and gender discrimination’ – an interesting claim in light of the fact that Ronda was in charge of workplace compliance – and that her termination was due to: “unlawful, retaliatory, and harmful conduct directed towards her. Both [Ronda] and I [Ronda’s lawyer] have spoken with you about [Ronda’s] view of what a reasonable resolution would include given the circumstances. Thus far, TABLE has refused to provide any substantive response. This letter provides the last opportunity to reach a satisfactory agreement. If we cannot do so, [Ronda] will seek all appropriate relief in a court of competent jurisdiction.” The letter goes on to explain the basis for the “unsafe work environment” claim at TABLE: “In early 2026, Pershing Square’s founder Bill Ackman installed his nephew in an unidentified role at TABLE, Ackman’s family office. [His nephew]—whose only work experience had been for TABLE where he was seconded abroad for the last four years to a UK watch company held by Ackman—began appearing at TABLE’s offices and conducting interviews of employees without a clear explanation of his role or the purposes of these interviews. During this period, he made a series of inappropriate and genderbased [sic] comments to multiple employees that created an unsafe work environment. Among other things, [his nephew] made remarks about female employees’ ages (“Tell me you are nowhere near 40”), physical appearance (“Your body does not look like you have kids”), as well as intrusive questions about family planning and sexual orientation (“Who carried your son? Who will carry your next child?”). These incidents were reported to senior leadership at TABLE and Pershing Square. Rather than being addressed appropriately, the response from senior management reflected, at best, willful blindness to the inappropriateness of [his nephew]’s remarks and, at worst, tacit endorsement.” The above allegations about my nephew had previously been brought to my attention by TABLE’s president when they occurred. When I learned of them, I told the president that I would speak to him directly and encouraged her to arrange for him to get workplace sensitivity training. The president assured me that she would do so. When I spoke to my nephew, he explained what he actually had said and how his actual remarks had been received, not at all as alleged in the legal letter from Ronda’s counsel. I have also spoken to others at the lunch table who confirmed his description of the facts. In any case, he meant no harm, was simply trying to build rapport with other employees, and no one, as far as I understand, was offended. Ironically, Ronda claims in her legal letter that TABLE didn’t take HR compliance seriously, yet Ronda was in charge of HR compliance at TABLE and the person who gave my nephew his workplace sensitivity training after the alleged incidents. In any case, Ronda, as head of compliance, should have kept a record or raised an alarm if indeed there was pervasive harassment or other such problems at the company, and there is no evidence whatsoever that this is true. So why does Ronda believe she can get me to pay her nearly $2 million, i.e., two years of severance, nearly one year of severance for each of her years at the company? Well, here is where some more background would be helpful. Over the last two months, I have been consumed with a major family medical issue – one of my older daughters had a massive brain hemorrhage on February 5th and has since been making progress on her recovery – and I am in the midst of a major transaction for my company which I am executing from a hospital room office next to her . While the latter business matter is publicly known, the details of my daughter’s situation are only known to Ronda because of her role at our family office. Now, let’s get back to the subject at hand. Unfortunately, while New York and many other states have employment-at-will, there has emerged an industry of lawyers who make a living from bringing fake gender, race, LGBTQ and other discrimination employment claims in order to extract larger severance payments for terminated employees, and it needs to stop. The fake claim system succeeds because it costs little to have a lawyer send a threatening letter and nearly all of the lawyers in this field work on contingency so there is no or minimal cash cost to bring a claim. And inevitably, nearly 100% of these claims are settled because the public relations and legal costs of defending them exceed the dollar cost of the settlement. The claims are nearly always settled with a confidentiality agreement where the employee who asserts the fake claims remains anonymous and as a result, there is no reputational cost to bringing false claims. The consequences of this sleazy system (let’s call it ‘the System’) are the increased costs of doing business which is a tax on the economy and society. There are other more serious problems due to the System. Unfortunately, the existence of an industry of plaintiff firms and terminated employees willing to make these claims makes it riskier for companies to hire employees from a protected class, i.e., LGBTQ, seniors, women, people of color etc. because it is that much more reputationally damaging and expensive to be accused of racism, sexism, and/or intolerance for sexual diversity than for firing a white male as juries generally have less sympathy for white males. The System therefore increases the risk of discrimination rather than reducing it, and the people bringing these fake claims are thereby causing enormous harm to the other members of these protected classes. So what happened here? Ronda was vastly overpaid and overqualified for the job that she did at TABLE. She was paid $1.05 million plus benefits last year for her work which was largely comprised of filling out subscription agreements and overseeing an outside law firm on closing passive investments in funds and in private and venture stage companies, some compliance work, and managing the office move from one office to another. She had a very good gig as she was highly paid, only had to go into the office three days a week, and could work from anywhere during the summer. Once my nephew showed up and started to investigate what was going on, she likely concluded that there was a reasonable possibility she would be terminated, as her job was in the too-easy-and-to-good-to-be-true category. The problem was that she was not in a protected class due to her race, age or sexual identity so she had to construct the basis for a claim. While she is female and could in theory bring a gender-based discrimination claim, she reported to the president who is female and to whom she is very close, which makes it difficult for her to bring a harassment claim against her former boss. When my nephew complimented a TABLE employee at lunch about how young she looked – in response to saying she was going to her 40-year-old sister’s birthday party, he said ‘she must be your older sister’ – Ronda immediately reported it to our external HR lawyer. She thereby began building her case. The other problem for Ronda bringing a claim is that she was terminated alongside 30% of other TABLE employees as part of a restructuring so it is very difficult for her to say that she was targeted in her termination or was retaliated against. TABLE is now hiring an external fractional general counsel as that is all the company needs to process the relatively limited amount of legal work we do internally. In short, Ronda was eminently qualified and capable and did her job. She was just too much horsepower for what is largely an administrative legal role so she had to come up with something else to bring a claim. Now Ronda knew I was a good target and it was a good time to bring a claim against me. She also knew that I was under a lot of pressure because on March 4th when Ronda was terminated, my daughter had not yet emerged from consciousness, she was not yet breathing on her own, and my daughter and we were fighting for her life. I was and remain deeply engaged in her recovery while at the same time I was working on finishing the closing for the private placement round for my upcoming IPO. Ronda also knew that publicity about supposed gender discrimination and a “hostile and unsafe work environment” are not things that a CEO of a company about to go public wants to have released into the media. And she may have thought that the nearly $2 million she was asking for would be considered small in the context of the reputational damage a lawsuit could cause, regardless of the fact that two years of severance was an absurd amount for an employee who had only worked at TABLE for 30 months. She also likely considered that I wouldn’t want to embarrass my nephew by dragging him into the klieg lights when her claims emerged publicly. So, in summary, game theory would say that I would certainly settle this case, for why would I risk negative publicity at a time when I was preparing our company to go public and also risk embarrassing my nephew. Notably, she hired a Silicon Valley law firm, rather than a typical NY employment firm. This struck me as interesting as her husband works for one of the most prominent Silicon Valley venture firms whose CEO, I am sure, has no tolerance for these kinds of fake claims that sadly many venture-backed companies also have to deal with. I mention this as I suspect her husband likely has been working with her on the strategy for squeezing me as, in addition to being a computer scientist, he is a game theorist. My only advice for him is to understand more about your opponent before you launch your first move. All of the above said, gender, race, LGBTQ and other such discrimination is a real thing. Many people have been harmed and deserve compensation for this discrimination, and these companies and individuals should be punished for engaging in such behavior. Which brings me to the advice I am seeking from the X community. I am not planning to follow the typical path and settle this ‘claim.’ Rather, I am going to fight this nonsense to the end of the earth in the hope that it inspires other CEOs to do the same so we shut down this despicable behavior that is a large tax on society, employment, and the economy and contributes to workplace discrimination rather than reducing it. Do you agree or disagree that this is the right approach?

Every one of these people became Catholic last night in our little parish in our little Corner of a town where there are 10 other parishes where the same thing happened. Many of them are former evangelicals and Protestants. This is what’s happening.

I didn’t just “release a white paper” this week—I lit a fire under Sacramento. First, I dropped the white paper exposing up to a $425 BILLION problem in California’s finances. Not guesses. Not vibes. Hard numbers pulled straight from state audits, federal reporting, and the Governor’s own budget. Then came the press release. Then CAL DOGE doubled down with a second release. @JennyRaeCA @SteveHiltonx And then—surprise, surprise—the NY/CA Post picked it up, because when the numbers are this big, the story writes itself. Meanwhile… Malia Cohen just missed her FOURTH consecutive reporting deadline. Four. In. A. Row. At this point it’s not a delay—it’s a pattern. And that pattern is exactly how billions disappear without accountability. Here’s what I laid out: We’re talking massive exposure across: •Medi-Cal •Unemployment Insurance •K–12 Education •CalFresh •Homelessness spending •Infrastructure •Public pensions All adding up to a system where reporting can lag 700+ days—which basically means by the time Californians see the books, the money is already gone. That’s not oversight. That’s a blackout. So yeah—I didn’t just point out the problem. I gave the solution: Radical Transparency. •Timely reconciliations (not years later) •Daily transaction-level reporting (yes, every dollar) •Blockchain-backed public ledger •AI-powered fraud detection in real time Translation? No more hiding the books. No more guessing. No more excuses. California doesn’t have a revenue problem. It has a visibility problem. And I’m running for State Controller to fix exactly that. Follow the money. Freeze the theft. Fix California.
