John Turano

@shipwreckedcrew Thune is a weak leader. Strong leaders would use numerous methods to coerce 2 or 3 holdouts to accomplish what a majority of republicans want.

He doesn't have 50 votes for the SAVE Act.

@StealthQE4 You are blind if you think progressive liberals are comparable to Trump.

Not a fan of what Trump has done but I despise progressive liberals. I honestly don’t know which one is worse. I think I’m just done voting. Checked out.

@LarrySchweikart If the American people put them back in power 1 more time they will have permanent rule. They will rule like dictators against the population and never surrender power.

Yep. Said this for a while. Extinct as a dodo.

@paulsperry_ I know you mean well, but there are no real penalties for democrats going after Trump.

DEVELOPING: Atkinson will soon be in for a reckoning, along with Ciaramella ... developing ...

How pathetic are Republicans in the Senate leadership? They will not change the filibuster rules to circumvent Democrats not voting to fund Department of Homeland Security, ICE and TSA during domestic terror events.

@hughhewitt @johncorny @POTUS Amnesty and gun control? No thanks! He will turn on Trump in a heartbeat if given an opportunity.

To repeat from last night: (1) Senator @JohnCorny is a great senator and very good for Texas, (2) Cornyn strongly supports @POTUS and (3) Cornyn is a layup against Talarico and a Paxton nomination puts a safe seat at risk. Voters are smart. They aren’t going to hand TX and Senate majority to Democrats. Support Senator Cornyn.

@seanmdav He does the same thing regarding election integrity. His head is in the sand and he will not acknowledge the reality of voting fraud.

“Does the proposal you have put forward require a change to the Senate’s rules as they currently exist?” No, it doesn’t. Everyone who actually understands Senate procedure has repeatedly told you it doesn’t. But because you don’t want to acknowledge reality, you’ve decided to stick your fingers in your ears and pretend it doesn’t exist.

@hughhewitt @KimStrassel @BasedMikeLee Election integrity is #1 issue now. Hugh has his head in the sand regarding election fraud. Everyone knows the filibuster is gone once Dems get the power back in the senate. They will make investigating fraud illegal among other things like no voter ID and internet voting.

👏👏👏The alternative to the chaos @KimStrassel details is the nuclear option which I discuss and denounce here: foxnews.com/opinion/mornin… Senator @BasedMikeLee says his proposal will not rely on overturning precedents or the nuclear option at any point so that means he’s committed to the path Strassel accurately describes and rightly warns against. That path is bad which is why @SenateGOP wants no part of it but not as bad as nuclear option at the start or overturning rulings from the chair based on Senate precedents which Senator Lee admits are horrible options. So either way, it isn’t happening. But a battle/war with Iran likely is. I am focused on that, not X battles with former Senate staff and activists who hate the fact that the Senate is anti-majoritarian for many sound and enduring reasons. Want the SAVE Act? Elect more Republicans.

@Rothbard1776 They have woken up to the fact that not voting up for Republicans ensures Democrats win? Democrats are so evil and counterproductive to anything positive for the country. I don’t understand this logic.

No amount of propaganda will save the Republicans in the midterms. The voters have woken up to the fact that none of the politicians in Washington work for us. And it has nothing to do with Thomas Massie, Tucker Carlson or Candace Owens. They did this to themselves.

@TheStormRedux Booshit!

Dan Bongino had John Solomon on his show today and Solomon made an interesting prediction: That Trump will soon unveil evidence that foreign powers meddled in the 2020 election, which will result in John Thune ultimately caving on the filibuster and the Save America act will get passed. “I think Donald Trump is going to change the narrative in America. I think he is going to change some Senators minds… He is going to start revealing some of the intelligence that was kept from the American people. And we’re going to see that our foreign adversaries have monkeyed around with our (election) system more than we knew… And I think when Senators realize their state could have been targeted… there is going to be a different debate in America… I think there’s some big, significant, and very troubling revelations about the vulnerabilities of our elections that the President is about to unveil on the American public.” @dbongino @jsolomonReports

@grey4626 Attacking her is silly. She’s a smart young woman who does great investigative reporting. I can see Bannon, but c’mon! There are more deserving people worthy of your time and talent.

WHORE COMPLEXES... Bannon didn't hire her for the razor-sharp mind she pretends to wield...no, darling. He plucked this vapid little creature from the herd because beneath the thin veneer of "journalist" beats the frantic heart of a textbook attention whore with a pathological craving for male validation. Watch her closely: every calculated pose, every breathy inflection, every outfit engineered to scream "look at me while I pretend to think." It's not intellect...it's histrionic erotic theater, the desperate performance of a woman whose entire sense of power derives from reducing powerful men to drooling idiots. She doesn't inform; she seduces. She doesn't report; she displays. And Bannon, that cynical old predator, knew exactly what he was buying: a decorative mouthpiece who mistakes sexual leverage for relevance. This isn't ambition; it's borderline personality disorder in a push-up bra. The way she orbits these geriatric warlords...Bannon, Posobiec, the whole decaying War Room carcass...it's textbook daddy-issue erotic transference. She doesn't want to be taken seriously; she wants to be wanted by men who could be her grandfather, because real intellectual parity would expose the howling void where her substance should be. Every "scoop" is just foreplay, every "hard-hitting question" a coy hair flip. She parrots their talking points with that practiced little-girl voice that makes aging boomers feel potent again. It's not journalism...it's a slow, deliberate striptease for the terminally online right, trading dignity for proximity to power she could never earn on merit. The tragedy? She actually believes the male gaze is validation of her mind. Poor deluded thing...those leering replies aren't celebrating your "reporting," sweetheart. They're celebrating the fact that you finally learned how to monetize your daddy issues on a national stage. A whore complex wrapped in conservative cosplay...pathetic, transparent, and utterly fucking disposable. And when the inevitable happens...when the wrinkles creep in and the tits start to sag...she'll be discarded faster than yesterday's talking points, left clutching her press pass like a faded Playboy centerfold wondering where it all went wrong. But by then, Bannon will have already moved on to the next eager little vessel, fresh-faced and starving for the same poisonous attention. That's the real story here: not her "rise," but the grotesque transaction at its core. 🗡️💀🗡️

I see AI enabled Optimus robots taking protester jobs in the future. How will the Optimus law enforcement robots handle them?

@Peoples_Pundit You’re a bad bunny!

The blowback to what transpired today is worse than what I warned it would be.

@JohnLeFevre His wealth came from Google stock for the most part. He was made a board member in the early 2000’s and was given stock and options.

Al Gore has a net worth of $100 million, a 10,000 sq foot house in Nashville and a place in Montecito, that he lives in by himself because his wife divorced him for sexually harassing masseuses. all because you believed his grift.

@rossiadam @conkydonk50 I think moderate democrats are a myth. Their party machine does not allow for it.

@conkydonk50 WHERE ARE THE MODERATE DEMOCRATS IN VIRGINIA? I know they are out there. If they don’t speak out now, then when?

I am not moving my family and businesses from Virginia. But something sinister just happened here and I need to take action. I have lived here since I was 6 years old. I have done my share to help build this state up. I have owned a business here since I was 24 years old. I have employed thousands of Virginians. I have invested millions in plant and equipment. I have coached sports, been a leader in scouts, run internship programs, and participated in local philanthropy. I am a political independent. I am for whomever gives me less government. I didn’t get that in the last election. The Virginia Democratic Party has come into power with proposals that seem to be almost comically evil. Massive, business-killing tax hikes. Dramatic increase in regulatory scope. Socialist policies around things like rent control, entitlement spending exploding. Sweeping limits on law enforcement and a reduction in crime consequences that make us less safe. We have went from a Top-5 business friendly state to a place where many of the people in my business community are discussing relocating their business out of the state. I watched this happen in Maryland. I can’t let it happen here. I hate politics. Hate it. I don’t want to run for political office. I have never given money to a state politician. I don’t try to influence policy. I try not to talk about politics too much on X. It’s a boring argument. I also think arguments about R vs D are boring. I have known plenty of moderate Democrats in Virginia that I felt were good public servants. However, the Democrat majority that was recently sworn in is like nothing we have ever seen here. These people are not centrists, and they represent a fringe view that is far to the left of the majority of Virginians. I am now compelled to get much more involved with the political process here in Virginia. We have to grab the wheel before we drive off the cliff. Who should I talk to about becoming more involved in organizing opposition to the current proposals? Who can I support to challenge them in court? Who should I talk to about supporting candidates for future elections that will bring us back to the policies that have made Virginia so prosperous in the past? Looking for specific people I should link up with. That could be Republicans or Democrats or Independents. I know there are many other Virginians from across the political spectrum that feel the way I do. Virginia is worth fighting for.

@PeterSchiff So only Dem administrations can do that? Not only do they do that systematically, they concoct crimes and evidence.

The issue with Lisa Cook is not whether she is innocent or guilty, but that the only reason mortgage fraud became an issue is that the President went digging for dirt on FOMC members so he could replace them with loyalists, dropping even the pretense of Fed independence.

@allthingsf74065 C’mon silly, we are going to cut rates to keep the ponzi markets juiced. Hey, I thought you said debt doesn’t matter for the US. We can just print money to pay the interest.

@brithume A mortgage application is a financial statement signed by borrower with language near signature section indicating crimes if any information is demonstrably false. It’s a felony to lie. You can estimate values for assets but not claim a property is a primary residence if it’s not

I don't know if Fed. Gov. Cook's listing of two homes as her primary residence is sufficient grounds for firing her "for cause," but it's worth keeping in mind that she has yet to deny she did it. wsj.com/politics/polic…

@allthingsf74065 Brilliant, if it works!

@ravens4dummies They need a rebuild after this latest rebuild.

Orioles are pathetic. I’m waving the white flag. They’re done for 2025.
