Not Average. Geopolitical & socioeconomic quips from a libertarian, Austrian & biblical perspective. Pro-life, freedom & Texas Taxation is theft "Media Expert"

@IndianaGPA You're not off your rocker. It's tough to work through it thoroughly though.

Sometimes I even wonder how | learned the English language.
One minute "read" is past tense, the next minute it's present... "lead" isn't always lead.
Somehow, I made it through all that confusion... and still pause at "their, there, and they're" like it's a pop quiz. 😂

Meteorologist Chris Martz used the North American Drought Atlas (built from tree-ring data) to track Great Plains drought across the past 1,500 years.
It shows severe drought regularly hit the plains long before industrial CO2.
The 1818 to 1825 drought stands out. So too does the 1855 to 1865 Civil War drought. The little mentioned 1950s drought is also clear, which followed the devastating Dust Bowl.
Further back, the worst known plains drought came during the Medieval Warm Period. It lasted around 400 years with only brief breaks.
That dwarfs anything post-1950. Today's droughts can of course damage farms and local communities, but they are far from unprecedented, and are not proof of a CO2 driven crisis.
The Great Plains have always been drought-prone.
The 1,500 year record destroys The Narrative.

Texas State Board of Education member Julie Pickren just exposed it all.
CAIR — the terrorist-linked group Gov. Abbott has called out — sent a 2-page demand letter to rewrite Texas history with straight-up lies:
• Claim 1/3 of American slaves were Muslim, enslaved for their faith
• Remove Mayflower Compact & Columbus references
• Erase George Washington’s Thanksgiving Proclamation & Prayer
• Teach the Alamo was built to “honor Islam”
Who the hell are these terrorists to demand anything — let alone lies to rewrite American history? Pure insanity.
Hard NO. Deport them and protect our kids’ education. Texas will teach truth, not Islamist fiction. 🇺🇸
God bless Texas!

@L08818 @chrisbrunet Not entirely. It's a different approach. Both are correct.

The two numbers reflect different ways of slicing FEC data and campaign self-reporting. Massie's team counts **total donors** (including thousands of small/unitemized <$200 contributions from KY addresses), which they reported as 1,545 KY donors raising ~$312k. The lower figures (256 for Massie, 98 for Gallrein) appear to reference **itemized/unique named donors** (typically $200+) from KY in specific quarterly filings or third-party analyses. Massie's total fundraising is heavily out-of-state (only ~4% of dollars from KY per his own state breakdown), while Gallrein leaned more on big outside PAC money. Standard campaign finance nuance—raw counts vs. itemized vs. dollars.
English
@chrisbrunet This is false.
Thomas Massie had 256 unique donors from KY.
Ed Gallrein had 98 unique donors from KY.
96% of Thomas Massie's total contributions came from OUTSIDE of KY.
English
Thomas Massie had 1,545 donors from Kentucky
Ed Gallrein had 70 donors from Kentucky

🚨 HISTORIC! School Board Trustee includes pledge to LOWER PROPERTY TAXES... as part of his OATH OF OFFICE... while being sworn in!!
(Yes, it was my dad, and it was an honor to swear him in.)
Watch his unprecedented OATH OF OFFICE!
Every local official should do this!!
Read the language we added to his oath of office:
"And further, do you, Trustee Harrison, pledge to use the full authority of your office to prioritize parents, teachers, and students; while at the same time, fight to lower the crushing burden of property taxes that are devastating to countless Midlothian ISD taxpayers."

@P0k3r_OF_Sm0t @Grok, why are we getting two different reports on the number of Kentuckians who supported the two candidates, Massie and Ed?
English
Is it just me, or has the new tactic to win elections become "hide out and refuse to debate"?

Some of you may remember my extensive investigative reporting on the Paxton impeachment.
During David Maxwell’s testimony, he openly bragged about his ability to throw off cross examiners and even grinned while admitting he committed perjury before the House General Investigating Committee. This wasn’t alleged. It happened. You can hear it yourself in the 2023 video I’m quoting here.
Shortly afterward, Chip Roy posted in support of him. His “friend” had just admitted to playing games with cross examiners, lying, and dodging questions on the stand.
But he was Chip’s friend, so Chip stood with him anyway.
There are things from the past that need to be brought back up because some of you are forgetting. And in this case, it doesn’t matter whether you like Ken Paxton or not.
I don’t want political leaders who defend wrongdoing simply because the person involved is their personal friend… and throw integrity out the window.
Do with this information what you will. I’m just making sure you have all of it.
Sarah Fields@SarahisCensored
Texas Ranger, David Maxwell, not only admitted to committing perjury, he also said he doesn’t actually know the truth. He also admitted to playing games with people while on the stand. He said he takes long pauses and pretends to not hear the questions in order to throw the other person off their game. Watch till the end. It doesn’t disappoint.

@DavidJHarrisJr Nonsense. It's a political tool to control the weak minded.

Moore: “I think that racism is part of an inherent fabric of this country.”
Thoughts?
English
@DanForTexas I don't think his numbers are accurate. When I checked it, over twice as many total voters turned out and Massie received about 19% more votes than last time. I think Massie got around 8k mail in votes too.
I'm not saying there aren't shenanigans, but the numbers are off.
English
I'd like to say that the election was rigged, but that's definitely not something the Republicans would ever do. 🙄

You mean to tell me that Thomas Massie got less votes in this Primary Election than the last primary election when over 45,000 ish new voters showed up to vote in this years primary? Ed Gallrein received 10,854 “mail in” ballots votes tonight alone. Thomas Massie lost by 10,280 votes.

@Luci3Furr I must be a few years older than you. I also remember 2016.
English
@AnotherJoe New tactic? Dude, where were you in the campaign season of the 2020 national election?
English
@P0k3r_OF_Sm0t Thomas Massie had 1,545 donors from Kentucky, while challenger Ed Gallrein (the Trump-backed former Navy SEAL and dairy farmer who defeated him in the 2026 KY-4 Republican primary) had 70.
English
@AnotherJoe No, I think it's more about not ignoring your constituents and spending all your time fighting against what your constituents want. 🤷♂️

I wish he hadn’t said this.

Massie: I would have come out sooner but I had to call my opponent to concede and it took a while to find him in Tel Aviv

@Ejaculationer Do you realize how many boomers are pissed that this happened? While the older generations were more easily brainwashed by recent news, they're also the ones who elected Massie, Paul and others multiple times. It is encouraging to see the discernment of the younger ones though.
English
@AnotherJoe The new meta is just telling boomers what to do because they’ll do anything the TV tells them to do. A completely braindead generation who needs to be physically restrained from voting.

1 - aljazeera.com/news/2026/2/9/… 2 - The vote facts are correct (Massie cast a key "yes" on the 2023 debt ceiling suspension bill), but the "$1.5 trillion added to the debt" claim is false/misleading. The bill was scored as reducing projected deficits by ~$1.5T over 10 years via spending caps. It enabled borrowing that was happening anyway. 3 - Massie didn't "jump late"—he led the bipartisan Epstein Files Transparency Act with Ro Khanna in 2025, forced votes, and kept pushing even against Trump. It delivered real releases and fallout. That's more than talk. The "why say that" deflection just dodges the money influence. 4 - Largely true, except those on Epstein's list. They're immune, apparently. Maxwell arrested, but none of her clients? 5 - Massie is the anti-swamp guy: bucks leadership, votes against bloated bills, pushes Epstein transparency against both parties' elites. The "swamp support" is mostly fringe left noise + tactical Dem alliances on specific votes (like Epstein files with Ro Khanna). Real swamp (GOP establishment, big foreign policy donors) poured millions into beating him for Trump loyalty. Simply put, Trump has gone back on his word and shown himself to be more involved with the swamp than to be draining anything. Why? Did Israel get to him? 6 - This is just nonsensical, probably the most naive thing on this list. Do you think the US is funding Israel because of the US, or because of Israel, when every single congressperson has an AIPAC handler? They're not dependent. They're using the US and just proved that they can control our elections with "their" money. 7 - Massie voted with some dems on Epstein transparency and restraint of foreign aid. There's nothing liberal or swampy about that at all. Everyone knows he won't take AIPAC funds. The Jew funding thing is odd. Why? Real swamp (pro-Israel PACs + Trump machine) dropped $15M+ to beat him. Painting anti-aid libertarians + fringe voices as "foreign nations hating America" while defending heavy foreign lobbying influence is backwards. You claim to bring intelligence, but show you naivete. And you close with insults that show your own ignorance. If you knew anything about me, you'd probably have to laugh at how stupid what you said was in your closing remarks, if you have any degree of intellectual honesty. I played your silly game on this one. I won't wade through your dung heap anymore.

Ed Gallrein has beat US Representative Thomas Massie in the Republican Primary for Kentucky District 4.
Ed Gallrein will go against Melissa Strange in November.
I hope Thomas Massie tells all the secrets now.
