The Spanish Civil War wasn’t a polite disagreement over policy.
It was the raw, screaming eruption of what happens when one side decides the other is an existential threat to be exterminated, and the other side...paralyzed by decorum, institutional inertia, and a suicidal faith in “norms”...lets it happen.
From 1936 to 1939, Spain tore itself apart in a furnace of ideology:
anarchists, communists, and radical Republicans on one end, Nationalists, monarchists, and the Catholic right on the other.
Cities burned. Priests were dragged from altars and shot. Guernica was leveled not as collateral but as a message.
Foreign powers...Hitler, Mussolini, Stalin...poured in weapons and ideology while the so-called “democratic” left in the West wrung its hands and romanticized the slaughter.
When it ended, half a million were dead and Franco’s boot came down hard.
History’s verdict? The side that understood power won. The side that treated politics like a debating society got corpses.
And here we are in 2026 America, watching the same script play out in slow motion, except the Republicans...those self-proclaimed guardians of the Republic...are auditioning for the role of the spineless moderates who got marched to the wall in Barcelona.
The left has already declared total war:
cultural, institutional, legal, and psychological.
They own the universities that breed the cadres, the media that shapes the narrative, the bureaucracies that weaponize “justice,” the tech overlords who censor dissent, and the streets where Antifa cosplayers rehearse their revolutionary wet dreams.
They don’t debate; they delegitimize.
They don’t disagree; they pathologize you as a threat to “democracy” itself.
They’ve studied Alinsky, Gramsci, and Mao.
They understand the friend-enemy distinction Carl Schmitt laid bare:
politics is not about compromise...it’s about who gets to define the enemy and crush him.
The psychology here is textbook cowardice wrapped in virtue.
Republicans crave the approval of the very institutions that despise them. They want to be seen as the “adults in the room,” the reasonable ones, the ones who still believe in “bipartisanship” while the other side is loading magazines.
It’s a death cult of respectability.
They fear being called “extremist” more than they fear the extinction of the country that elected them.
So they pass toothless resolutions. They hold hearings that go nowhere. They fund the very agencies that spy on their voters. They negotiate with people who view negotiation as surrender.
They are not serious. They are not warriors. They are the eunuchs guarding the harem while the barbarians scale the walls.
Thomas Hobbes warned that without a sovereign willing to enforce order, life reverts to the war of all against all.
The left gets this instinctively. They have the will. They have the venom. They have the ferocity. Republicans have press releases.
The Spanish Republicans of 1936 didn’t lose because their ideas were weaker; they lost because they fragmented while the Nationalists consolidated will and force.
Sound familiar?
This is not politics. This is prelude.
We are not “divided.” We are at the fault line of incompatible civilizations...one that reveres the individual, the family, the West’s hard-won inheritance; the other that worships the collective, the state, and the endless revenge of the resentful.
The left is not confused. It is coherent in its hatred. The Republicans’ failure is not tactical; it is ontological.
History is not a bedtime story. It is a butcher’s ledger. Spain proved that when one side goes for the throat and the other offers its neck, the throat wins.
If the American right keeps electing therapists in suits instead of lions, we will get our own Guernica...only this time the bombs will be lawfare, financial ruin, and cultural erasure, until the streets run red because no one had the spine to stop it earlier.
Wake the fuck up.

@Soaringeagle45 Me too. But don’t have it in our home. My wife doesn’t like it. just asked her. if she adds vinegar to her awesome potato salad, she said yes. Can’t tell her to try using Miracle Whip instead. Some things are better left unsaid…

@IRS_MEDIC If there was never a proper TDO issued, then it doesn’t matter, and never did. Find the original TDO 150-10 and see for yourself.
English

Why do you think Donald Trump hasn't appointed an IRS commissioner?
The lack of one means the IRS currently has no enforcement authority - so says me.
I appear to be the first person in the country challenging the IRS's ability to take your stuff without a legally mandated Commissioner of Internal Revenue.
I filed a motion to vacate a tax court judgment as there is no Commissioner to rule in favor of.
Trump intentionally has not appointed one. Senate Democrats on March 12 said this is outrageous and will lead to chaos and confusion and put the IRS's ability to function in legal jeopardy. Yet other than their press release on March 12, they appear to have taken no action.
Will be discussing updates and answer questions. Here is the link on youtube for tomorrow at 9 am EDT but I will also be streaming live on X.

@IRS_MEDIC @Jforgood3 Do a FOIA request for the Treasury Delegation Order 150-10 that purports to delegateauthority to the Commissioner to act in place of the Treasury Secretary. Look closely at the document. I doubt you’ll find it online…
English

@Jforgood3 Correct. They all are on the same team. Everyone's direct deposit is from the same US Treasury.
I expect tax court to scoff at me. And the 2nd circuit. If I can get to SCOTUS then maybe there's a chance.

🚨THERE IS NO IRS COMMISSIONER. SO WHAT DOES THIS MEAN? 🚨
My first motions to challenge the IRS's (and tax court's) enforcement authority without an IRS commissioner, duly appointed or acting, have JUST been filed a few moments ago. I just emailed the counsel my motions.
Cutler v. Commissioner.
I will be putting up a video later this week explaining the background and my arguments.
Thanks to all my members for their help, but especially, @DavidBindelTX and @Timetofishfor1

@DC_Draino I want him removed as leader. I’m sure most of us feel that way. Not sure why five other senators won’t take action.

How the hell can John Thune say that Voter ID isn’t one of the most important policy issues that voters care about?!
Over 80%+ of the country on *both sides* wants Voter ID.
His delay on Voter ID is sabotage pure and simple.
He is a backstabber.
Eric Daugherty@EricLDaugh
🚨 JUST IN: Senate Majority Leader John Thune has reportedly REFUSED to commit to getting back on the SAVE America Act after budget and FISA are handled later this week Thune says we may have "other pressing stuff" that's more important than election integrity, per Punchbowl “If we don’t have other pressing stuff in front of us that has to get done...then we’ll see about getting that going." WHAT ON EARTH?! So the Senate could just keep POSTPONING this bill until it's too late. Rep. Tim Burchett called it. Let @BasedMikeLee surge support on the floor and just NUKE THE FILIBUSTER.

This is worth repeating:
I never cared that you were gay until you started shoving it down my throat, and I never cared what color you were until you started blaming me for your problems.
I never cared about your political affiliation until you started condemning me for mine.
I really never even cared where you were born until you wanted to erase my history and blame my ancestors for your problems.
I never even cared if your beliefs were different from mine until you said my beliefs were wrong.
But now I care. My patience and tolerance are gone, and I am not alone in feeling like this. There are millions of us who feel like this.

@BuzzPatterson Why have the EU take over the strait? Are they competent enough? I’m’ not so sure.
English

It looks like peace with Iran is imminent. Stocks are way up, and oil prices are way down. The US Navy controls the Strait and the EU countries will take it over at some point.
Iran lost everything and they are no longer allowed to enrich uranium. They’ve significantly damaged their relationships with their former Gulf allies.
The US military won. They just executed the most flawless and historically unthinkable military operation in my lifetime. We are back!
It’s over. The US won. Trump won. And, by extension, the American left lost. They, once again, chose the wrong team.
Let their gnashing of teeth and prehistoric animal screeching commence! And I’m here for it!
