I normally stay out of political drama, but since I was the “friend in Savannah” Cynthia referenced, I feel obligated to speak honestly about what I personally witnessed. Thomas and Cynthia visited my home in Savannah after the passing of his wife. From my recollection, it had only been a few months, and he was clearly heartbroken and grieving. I specifically remember conversations by the pool where he talked about how deeply the loss affected him. He did not come across as someone acting recklessly or maliciously. He was kind to Cynthia, respectful, and they appeared happy together at the time. I also personally knew Cynthia was going through a very difficult divorce during that period and was unhappy with her legal representation. To my recollection, the $5,000 Thomas gave or lent her was related to helping her obtain a different attorney during that divorce situation — not “hush money.” Separately, Cynthia had ongoing workplace complaints involving Rep. Spartz’s office that she discussed long before any of this current public controversy. From what I understood at the time, those issues were about what she described as a toxic work environment and had nothing to do with Thomas. I am not speaking on politics, campaigns, or what may or may not be happening behind the scenes. I can only speak to what I personally observed. Based on my own experience around both of them, the timing of these allegations — one week before an election — feels very strange to me. People can draw their own conclusions, but I felt it was important to share firsthand context instead of speculation.

What if I told you a group of creators could out-influence a multi million-dollar political ad blitz by AiPac their Billionaires?!

Let’s show them what real influence & integrity looks like. #CreatorsForMassie #KentuckySurge #WeRideforMassie

@RaheemKassam Is being a soldier a license to be a thief now?

🔴 Calls to Pardon Soldier Who Bet on Maduro Removal — Here’s Why… 📰 Representative Anna Paulina Luna (R-FL) has called for a presidential pardon of a soldier who helped plan the capture of former Venezuelan President Nicolas Maduro and used his insider information to make $400,000 on an online betting site. ⬇️ A link to the full story is in the thread below

🚨Top Democrat political consultant and campaign strategist, James Carville, just stated on the Left-wing ‘Policon’ podcast that when the Democrats regain power, they plan to: -Grant statehood to Washington D.C. and Puerto Rico, so that the Democrats can unlock 4 extra seats in the Senate. -Pack the U.S. Supreme Court from 9 Justices up to 13 Justices, adding another 4 Left-wing Justices to the court. -Reopen the U.S.-Mexico border and grant mass-amnesty to every single alien currently inside of the United States. -His advice to Democrat politicians: “Don’t run on it. Don’t talk about it. Just do it.”

Due to poor discipline, Trump ends up prioritizing the optics of victory over actually getting a deal. Instead of using deescalatory signals from Iran to get closer to a deal, he declares victory and seeks Iran's humiliation, and by that he undermines his own diplomacy.

The year is 1950. Your doctor lights a cigarette and tells you smoking is fine. He read it in a study. He is telling the truth about having read it. He does not know, or is not saying, that the study was funded by the tobacco industry. The year is 1958. Your doctor tells you to eat less fat. The evidence is contested. The contestation is not in the public messaging. The food industry has been helpful in clarifying which findings deserve attention. Some researchers who published contradictory data have been quietly defunded. Ancel Keys is on the cover of Time magazine. The year is 1962. Your doctor prescribes thalidomide to your pregnant wife for morning sickness. It has been approved. The FDA gave it the green light in Europe. Twelve thousand children will be born with severe limb malformations before anyone in an official capacity acknowledges the problem. The families are told the drug was safe. The drug was approved. Both of these things remain true. The year is 1972. Your doctor prescribes Valium. Britain is in the grip of a benzodiazepine wave that will last two decades. The dependency risk is known internally. It is not shared. Your doctor is not lying to you. He was not told either. The year is 1999. Your doctor prescribes Vioxx for your arthritis. It is newer than ibuprofen, well-tolerated, and Merck has a study showing it works. Merck also has internal data suggesting it roughly doubles the risk of heart attack. This data will not reach your doctor for four more years. Fifty thousand people are estimated to have died in the interim. Merck eventually settles for 4.85 billion dollars. No criminal charges are brought. The year is 2002. Your doctor prescribes OxyContin. Purdue Pharma trained its sales representatives to tell doctors the addiction risk was less than one percent. That figure came from a letter, not a study. The letter was about patients with terminal cancer on short-term doses in hospital settings. Your doctor is a GP with a patient who has a bad back. Nobody draws a distinction. Nobody is required to. The year is 2008. Your doctor checks your cholesterol. Your LDL is elevated. You are prescribed a statin. Nobody mentions that the number needed to treat for primary prevention is approximately 250. Nobody mentions that the muscle deterioration you'll notice over the next two years is listed as a rare side effect rather than a documented pattern affecting a meaningful percentage of patients. The trial that informed the prescription was funded by the manufacturer. Now it is today. Your doctor has new guidelines. New studies. New consensus. He is confident. He has always been confident. The confidence has never been the problem. The confidence is, in fact, precisely the problem.

@CensoredHumans I’m like there’s no way that’s a direct quote, and there it is 🤦‍♂️

Kash Patel: “We need America to wake up and prioritize Israel.”

@DonaldJTrumpJr Shut up you Israel First fraud.

To our friends in Hungary, we hope you will vote for independent thinking and for someone who stands for Hungary First. We hope you will vote for my father’s friend and ally. One leader in Europe has a direct line to the White House, I hope you will support Viktor Orban! #Hungary

@Luv_Xcuses Serving Israel

Be brutally honest, what's one thing Americans are simply better at than the rest of the world??

Netanyahu is the Hitler of our time. The genocidal Netanyahu must be tried and given the harshest punishment. Israel is the Nazi state of our time, and this fake state is genocidal; it must be dismantled as soon as possible.

@draloneboy What if he pursued peace for the benefit of American citizens and the world rather than for personal aggrandizement and empty prizes?

President Trump reportedly received a text message from Norway’s Prime Minister Jonas Gahr Støre urging Trump to lower the temperature and “de-escalate” the rhetoric on Greenland. Trump fired back with a BRUTAL one-liner that ended the conversation. Here’s how the exchange went: STØRE: “Dear Mr. President, dear Donald: We believe we all should work to take this down and de-escalate.” TRUMP: “Considering your country decided not to give me the Nobel Peace Prize for having stopped 8 wars plus, I no longer feel an obligation to think purely of peace.”

@mattgaetz Good, F Israel. Unfollowed you.

Our NATO ally Turkey is now threatening Israel.

@gc22gc I despise Israel and I was very sympathetic just a year ago. They’re a horrible “ally” and US needs to cut ties entirely.

My parents who were never political never had an opinion on Israel much. Now they straight up hate Israel. They see U.S. getting dragged in and think America’s the one paying the price.

SO. MUCH. WINNING. 🤡

Assume every message you see here is going to be choked from reaching a biggee audience. The people that need to see it. And recognize that you, you specifically, are the only antidote to these Algos. The Algos cannot defend against the critical mass of your participation .

@JackPosobiec Especially to Israel

End all foreign aid

We get it, you’re a jew and you support America’s destruction to help your parasitic nation.

NEW: Dan Bilzerian to run for Congress in Florida’s 6th Congressional District against Randy Fine.

Retweet if you believe Netanyahu is a war criminal.

The U.S. must immediately make clear to Israel that the ceasefire agreement is not and cannot be functional without a ceasefire in Lebanon. The American people want this war to end and bombing downtown Beirut is not a path to peace.
