God is real. Truth Matters. Time is valuable. Life is a blessing. Responsibility is a gift.

Ppl have asked why I am for Zach Lahn for governor and the answer is simple. A little over a year ago my wife gave birth to our firstborn. We want an Iowa that he can be healthy in, that he can worship freely in, that he can learn well in, and prosper in. @ZachLahn has a plan

@melton4iowa Ryan, why do representatives get to vote and not me? Am I not equal to them? Should I not get a voice? We are a nation of states. This is a Federal Republic. How far are you willing to push for democracy?

The Electoral College is anti-democratic. We should base our electoral outcomes on one person, one vote.

The Iowa GOP Governor race got reset last night. Randy dodges while @AdamSteen dominates the Iowa Press debate. His depth of the issues along with his ability to cast vision for a vibrant Iowa were compelling. #ChooseWell Vote @AdamSteen desmoinesregister.com/story/news/pol…

Great! Let’s get directly to Rob Sand! Feenstra’s Biden Basement strategy has to be cracked. Zach Lahn will crack it. In war, if the enemy’s position is irrelevant, you bypass them and go around them to your objective. The objective is Rob Sand.

@SteveKingIA @grey4626 Yes.

LHGrey is a brilliant writer who captures images in text. There is a core truth here. I saw it and lived it. Not with my staff who were had picked to be movement conservatives and to strengthen me in the fight against the establishment. But with many other offices on the hill. Staff networks with staff and are conditioned to protect their Member from attack from any source. That instinct causes them to be focused on caution rather than bold assault on the enemies of our civilization. Also, do not skip the Democrat’s staff. They are more ideological than Republicans and face no consequences for far Left radicalism. Campaign donations pour in and subsidize more radical Leftism. The net result is, more moderate Republicans and more radical Democrats. Objective evaluation of policy proposals and bipartisan agreements for the best interests of our country are essentially a thing of the past. It’s all power politics now. Cold—ruthless—free of patriotism and duty. The remaining duty is to vanquish one’s political enemies. SK

STAFFER SCUM: The Unelected Republican Vipers Castrating Congress and Selling Out the Republic​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​ The metastasizing rot devouring this Republic doesn’t originate in the marble halls or the mahogany desks of the “honorable” members, entirely. It festers in the warren of offices just behind them...staffer dens where twenty-eight-year-old Ivy League sociopaths with zero skin in the game, zero combat experience, and zero understanding of the American heartland decide what your congressman or senator will say, vote, or even think. Especially the Republican staffers. Those polished, ambitious little vipers in Brooks Brothers camouflage. Clinical pathology in human form: the managed-opposition mercenaries who’ve internalized the enemy’s frame so thoroughly they now police their own principals for any whiff of actual spine. They are not advisors. They are the ventriloquists. The members are the dummies...geriatric, C-SPAN-addicted, re-election-obsessed husks whose only remaining function is to read the script, smile for the cameras, and sign the omnibus that was already drafted in the staffer’s third-floor lair at 2 a.m. while the “representative” was asleep in his Georgetown townhouse. Fact: Over 80% of legislative language in modern Congress is written by staff, not members. Bills arrive pre-packaged, pre-compromised, pre-larded with donor carve-outs and lobbyist wet dreams. The congressman? He’s the brand mascot. The staffer is the CEO. And the Republican ones are the most lethal strain...because they wear the conservative mask while quietly castrating every instinct toward actual power. Psychologically, it’s textbook: the staffer class suffers from what Nietzsche would diagnose as ressentiment weaponized into policy. They despise the voters who sent their boss to Washington; they fear the base’s raw, unfiltered demands for blood and borders and sovereignty. So they manufacture “prudence.” They whisper “bipartisanship” like a sedative. They leak to the press the moment their principal even thinks about wielding the purse or the gavel like the Constitution demands. They are the psychological operation that turns lions into house cats...domesticated, declawed, and grateful for the kibble of committee assignments. Philosophically, this is the inversion of the Republic’s own design. The Founders feared standing armies and centralized power; they never imagined the soft tyranny of an unaccountable administrative class operating as the real legislature. Madison warned of factions. He never foresaw that the most dangerous faction would be the permanent bureaucracy’s younger, hungrier cousin...he staffer swarm that rotates seamlessly into K Street, think tanks, and media sinecures, all while the elected face changes every two or six years like seasonal drapes. These Republican staffers aren’t incompetent. They’re pathological. They are the ones who convinced McConnell’s office that “regular order” means surrendering. The ones who told the Freedom Caucus to sit down and shut up because “the adults are in the room.” The ones who draft the poison-pill amendments that gut border security while pretending it’s a “win.” They don’t lack intelligence; they lack loyalty to anything except the swamp’s gravitational pull...the revolving door, the cocktail circuit, the quiet contempt for the red-hat rubes back home who still believe in the myth of representative government. I see it with the cold, lethal clarity of a coroner over a corpse: the major issues in Congress are not the congressmen. The congressmen are the symptoms. The staffers are the disease. Especially the Republican ones...those sophisticated traitors who turned conservatism into a lifestyle brand for people who hate what conservatism actually requires: violence against the regime’s machinery, not accommodation with it. They have turned the People’s House into a whorehouse where the Constitution gets gang-raped by procedure, precedent, and “process.” And every time a Republican member stands up and bloviates about “fighting for you,” his staffer is already in the back room negotiating the surrender terms. Fuck these staffers. Fuck their polished treachery. Fuck the psychology of managed decline they peddle as wisdom. And fuck every congressman or woman...Republican especially...who lacks the balls to fire the entire lot and hire people who remember that they serve the sovereign citizen, not the other way around. The Republic is dying from a thousand staffer cuts. Time to stop pretending the elected are in charge. They aren’t. The shadows are. And the shadows wear lanyards, not lapel pins.

@okayhenderson @HenryJGomez Thank you for sharing.

Vice President Vance’s trip to Iowa this week? TPUSA event at ISU moved to later in year, @HenryJGomez reports. See his X below re Nunn event.

Another standing room only crowd of 100+ for @ZachLahn for governor. Tonight in Glenwood. Zach is the strongest GOP candidate in the race and it’s not even close.

@ZachLahn @IStateCRs This is awesome. 👏

Very proud to announce the endorsement of the Iowa State College Republicans (@IStateCRs). Elections are about the future and the next generation. Our campaign is focused on making Iowa the best place for our kids to stay and build a life.

@DMRegister 150 people showed up to this @ZachLahn event with basically a two day notice. Steve King Endorsement. Iowa State CR Endorsement. Momentum is in his favor & with perfect timing. 39 days till June 2nd primary.

Steve King endorses Zach Lahn in Iowa governor's race desmoinesregister.com/story/news/pol…

@lindas_diner All spelt the same way too? Crazy

There are too many Zach's in the Iowa political scene. Zach Lahn, Zach Wahls and Zach Nunn. Someone is going to lose out because of the Zach confusion.

@Tgifeveryone @IAPolls2022 @ZachLahn I was told that in 2015 for Jeb Bush. How did that work out? x.com/dmregister/sta…

@ElijahBluhm @IAPolls2022 @ZachLahn He has ZERO name recognition. I have lived here my entire life, and I have never heard of him. ‘26 is not the time to mess around with experimental candidates.

IOWA POLL - Senate by Echelon (A) Governor 🟦 Rob Sand: 51% 🟥 Randy Feenstra: 39% —— Senate 🟦 Zach Walls: 46% 🟥 Ashley Hinson: 44% — 🟦 Josh Turek: 46% 🟥 Ashley Hinson: 45% for Net Choice | 4/3-9 | 377 LV (±6.6%) netchoice.org/new-72-of-amer…

@EODcookie05 @IAPolls2022 @ZachLahn Our current frontrunner is not well liked by the base at the moment. He’s in a heated primary, a strong democrat opponent in the general and is struggling to get his message on ears willing to listen. I’m in Iowa. That poll is likely accurate.

@ElijahBluhm @IAPolls2022 @ZachLahn Yes and Harris was going to win Iowa by +3 haha

@GAJamLive @IAPolls2022 @ZachLahn Our frontrunner is not well liked by the base at the moment. He’s in a heated primary, against a strong democrat opponent and is struggling to get his message on ears willing to listen. I’m in Iowa. That poll is likely accurate.

@ElijahBluhm @IAPolls2022 @ZachLahn Chill bro…. It’s a poll and it is not based in reality

@LaroSos1 @IAPolls2022 @ZachLahn I’m a Republican. You aren’t paying close enough attention to this Iowa race. Randy is having a difficult time connecting with the grassroots. Limited questions, limited people, limited events. He has a lot of work to do if he is going to go toe to toe with Sand.

@ElijahBluhm @IAPolls2022 @ZachLahn Yeah ok dumb ass.. all these polls are run by idiot democrats just like you

@DanTwelmeyer @ZachLahn 1000%

@ZachLahn @IowaGOP this is the candidate we must put forward on June 2nd.

Iowa deserves a Governor that will take on the major issues in our state - Keeping Iowas Kids in Iowa - Saving Family Farms - Making Our Schools #1 Again - Ending The Cancer Crisis Today, we’re making the investment to do exactly that. desmoinesregister.com/story/news/pol…

@ZachLahn is a refreshing contrast to the typical politician. Deep. Unifying. Wise. Independents & Republicans love him. Democrats don’t know what to think. He’s one of us. He represents the best of us. June 2nd is a pivotal primary for Iowa.

@LauraRBelin @RandyFeenstra @RobSandIA Great question, good for Iowa voters. The world would benefit from significantly more debates. We all lose when we stop talking to each other.

Since @RandyFeenstra doesn't want to debate the other Republicans running for governor, I asked @RobSandIA how many times he'd like to debate his GOP opponent. #Iowa #IAGov

@JacyWiese @dixonswolfe @RepublicansIowa Awesome. I see some of my favorites!

Iowa’s conservative student movement is strong and growing 🇺🇸 Great meeting this afternoon—thanks @RepublicansIowa!
