@CynicalPublius@udreams30 We plan on burning MAGA and the GOP to the ground in the midterms. Both are anti American. America First is fucking furious with Trump and RINOs.
If you are not aware yet that Thomas Massie will be the Libertarian Party's candidate for President in 2028, please allow me to spread the joy.
They want to split the conservative vote so the Democrat nominee will be President.
Because spite.
@LaraLeaTrump@ScottPresler Lara, serious question: Why did Trump turn on his base? We invested time, $, lost jobs for him. He spits in our face in July 25' and tells us we are no longer MAGA. All over Epstein & Israel. Millions of us will vote Independent for midterms to crush the GOP. Fuck Trump.
Elon Musk Calls Scott Presler
Lara speaks with "The Persistence" @ScottPresler about his new book, his new diet, and all the work he's done and continues to do to help secure more victories in the upcoming midterm elections…and how you can make a difference yourself.
Later in the episode, Lara speaks with the executive director of @PromiseLanding Farm Katie Muldoon. Katie tells me all about running a horse farm, what her charity does for veterans, and how therapeutic it is working with horses and much more on #TheRightView. Nothing beats a day at the stables and riding horses.
🚨BREAKING: 21 people shot, including children across Chicago so far this weekend, mass shooting last night & 5 police officers hospitalized after being mowed down by an 18-year-old at a teen takeover on the West Side.
Chicago is a total war zone ruled by Democrats.
@FalcolmJung@Cernovich Republicans men must find their balls. We must be courageous and risk being called racist, or antisemitic risk being ostracized from our friends. America First must mean AmericanS First. We have to overcome the big donors with massive grassroots donations.
@Cernovich The problem is that western, white men, collectively, are afraid to die. "My life" is all that matters. We are no longer the men who, while having wife, kids, and career, would willingly go "defend the Alamo"
@Jonathan_Cahn Can we go to Lebanon and see the churches the IDF bulldozed? Christians should boycott Israel until they apologize for their crimes, spitting on Christians. Do Israelis realize 2/3 of Americans are fed up with Israel, their forever wars, using our blood and treasure? Enough!
@GuntherEagleman She is a fox news shill for Israel. The fucking boomers Republicans continue to fuck over their grandkids by voting for ed and Israel. Fuck Trump and the neocon gop.
🚨 BOOM! Laura Ingraham just DROPPED a BRUTAL truth bomb on ousted RINO Thomas Massie after Kentucky voters sent him packing!
“Israel, this is Israel’s race, not America’s? The voters of Kentucky did not agree with that. It’s their district. Their vote. It’s their view. They did NOT buy what Thomas Massie was saying!”
“With Israel, on the war, even if they want this war wrapped up, they gave the benefit of the doubt to Donald Trump over Thomas Massie. The Epstein Files. All of that.”
“Trump wins.”
@LauraLoomer@TulsiGabbard You are a toxic cunt. Her office was literally raided by the CIA. The fact you think she did this for attention shows your intelligence. You’re a dumb Jewish operative Cunt. STFU and move to Israel.
Why is Tulsi trying to make herself the center of attention"
Says the woman writing a 5-paragraph unhinged thread to make herself the center of attention while Trump’s overseas.
You’re doing more oppo research on Tulsi than on China, Laura. If anyone’s sabotaging Trump with infighting and conspiracies, it’s you. Maybe resign from Twitter first.
Why is Tulsi Gabbard @TulsiGabbard trying to make herself the center of attention while President Trump is in China? She is now accusing the Trump admin of raiding her…
Just resign, Tulsi! You were already told you need to leave by the midterms. You can have all your minions lie online and say it’s not true, but I know for a fact it’s true and deep down you know it’s true too.
I still stand by what I have been saying: Trump should have fired Tulsi Gabbard.
Notice how Fox News has a convicted CIA leaker and traitor @JohnKiriakou on TV defending Gabbard when Kiriakou is a Trump hater and literally works for Russian state owned media.
Everyone who Tulsi associates with in the IC is trash.
Get this woman out of the admin ASAP! She’s insane. Idk how people can’t see it.
I warned you all how this would go down. She is going to sabotage Trump and then resign and run for President in 2028.
@LauraLoomer@TulsiGabbard Laura,
Shut the fuck up you bitch! Tulsa is one of the only America First people left in the administration. Your crazy ass needs to get back on your meds. Americans can't stand your constant lies.
LA has over 40K drug addicts holding Angelenos hostage. All it takes is one to make moms feel too nervous to let their kids just go be kids and explore the quiet streets of their beautiful neighborhood. ENOUGH. We are done being held hostage in our own homes. Vote PRATT today!
🚨 DISTURBING TUCKER CARLSON AUDIO 🚨
Between 2006 and 2011, Tucker Carlson called weekly into Bubba the Love Sponge’s shock jock radio show. In vulgar conversations, he downplayed Warren Jeffs (then on the FBI’s Top 10 Most Wanted for child marriages):
“This guy may be a child rapist… arranging a marriage between a 16yo and 27yo isn’t the same as pulling a stranger off the street and raping her.”
When the hosts described 14-year-old girls at his daughter’s school experimenting sexually, he said:
“If it weren’t my daughter, I would love that scenario.”
He joked that Bill Clinton should take “plural marriage with a bunch of teenagers.”
Throughout the audio, the trio repeatedly called women whores and used other vulgar slurs.
I’m genuinely creeped out right now. I don’t even know what to say.
I would like to publicly endorse Scott Pressler for Chairman of the RNC.
Tyler Bowyer as co-Chair.
No one cares more about Republican base strategy on a grassroots level than these two.
It would mean Republican majorities for the next 50 years.
Time to do what must be done.
Senate Republicans: Take note of what happened in Indiana tonight. Voters voted out longtime incumbents over their refusal to redistrict and replaced them with people who WILL redistrict. Voters are even more angry at you for not passing the SAVE Act. Get to work @johnthune.
I have two stacks on my desk. The left stack is financial disclosure forms from members of Congress. The right stack is waivers for members who filed their financial disclosures late.
The right stack is always taller.
On Wednesday morning, I watched a soldier get arrested on CNN.
I am a Disclosure Analyst for the House Ethics Committee. I have held this position for eleven years. My job is to receive the forms, verify their completeness, and file them. I do not investigate. I do not flag. I do not refer. I file. I have a lanyard. The lanyard says ETHICS.
The soldier's name is Gannon Ken Van Dyke. He is thirty-eight years old. He was stationed at Fort Bragg. He was Special Forces. In December, he created an account on a prediction market called Polymarket. On January 2nd, he bet $32,500 that the president of Venezuela would be removed from power. On January 3rd, he helped remove the president of Venezuela from power. He collected $409,881.
He has been charged with five federal crimes. Commodities fraud. Wire fraud. Unlawful use of confidential government information. Theft of nonpublic government information. Unlawful monetary transaction. The Department of Justice called it "the first-ever insider trading prosecution on event contracts."
I watched this on the television in our break room. Then I walked back to my desk and processed a late financial disclosure from a member of the House Financial Services Committee who purchased $250,000 in bank stocks eleven days before his subcommittee held a closed-door hearing on proposed capital reserve changes.
The filing was forty-seven days late. The STOCK Act requires disclosure within forty-five days. The penalty for late filing is $200.
I waived it.
I waive most of them. In 2021, fifty-four members of Congress and senior staff violated the reporting rules. The fines were minimal. Most were waived. I have a form for the waiver. The form has a box that says "Reason." I write "administrative delay." In ethics, "administrative delay" means the member's office forgot and then remembered when a reporter called. My approval rate is one hundred percent. In any other field, that number would trigger an audit. In mine, it is called thoroughness.
Let me show you what I processed this year.
January. A senator on the Armed Services Committee sold defense contractor shares worth $1.2 million. Three days later, his committee received a classified briefing that the Iran campaign had exceeded its projected cost by 340%. The stock dropped 8%. He filed the disclosure sixty-one days late. I calculated the fine. $200. His chief of staff asked if it could be waived. He did not ask what the senator traded on. Nobody asks that. The form does not have a field for it. I waived the fine. The senator's portfolio returned 23.4% in 2025. The S&P 500 returned 16.8%.
February. A representative on the Energy and Commerce Committee bought pharmaceutical stocks worth $400,000. Two weeks later, her committee advanced a bill that would extend patent exclusivity for the exact drug class she purchased. The stocks rose 14%. She filed on time. There was no fine. There was no investigation. There was nothing to investigate because buying stocks in companies regulated by your own committee is not illegal. It is legal. The STOCK Act made it legal by making it disclosed. In Congress, disclosed means legal. In my office, legal means filed.
March. A member whose spouse manages a portfolio worth $9.2 million reported forty-three separate transactions in a single quarter. Twelve of them were in sectors directly affected by legislation the member co-sponsored. The timing on eight of those twelve was within a two-week window of committee action. I logged all forty-three. None were flagged. We do not flag. We file.
I asked my supervisor once what would happen if I flagged a filing. She said we do not have a form for that. I never asked again.
In 2020, I processed 847 disclosures. In 2023, 1,211. In 2025, 1,614. The number of enforcement actions in each of those years was zero. The numerator changes. The denominator does not.
I want to tell you about the soldier again.
He made $409,881. He tried to delete his Polymarket account by calling customer service and saying he lost access to his email. He moved his profits into a foreign cryptocurrency vault and then into a new brokerage account. He used his real identity. He placed thirteen bets. Every single one was connected to an operation he personally participated in.
In my eleven years, I have processed disclosures from members of Congress who traded on:
Pending FDA approvals they learned about in committee.
Defense appropriations they voted on.
Trade policy they negotiated.
Pandemic response measures they drafted.
Interest rate decisions they were briefed on before the public.
None of them have been charged. None of them have been investigated by the Department of Justice. None of them have been referred to the SEC. The STOCK Act has produced zero prosecutions since it was signed on April 4th, 2012.
Fourteen years. Five hundred and thirty-five members. $635 million in trades last year alone. Zero cases.
My daughter asked me once what happens when someone breaks the rules. I told her we write it down. She asked what happens after that. I said it depends. She was nine. She is twenty now. It does not depend. Nothing happens after that.
The soldier made $409,881 and faces decades in prison. Nancy Pelosi entered Congress in 1987 with a portfolio worth approximately $785,000. It is now worth $133.7 million. That is a return of 16,930%. The Dow Jones returned 2,300% over the same period. Professional fund managers who beat the market for three consecutive years are considered exceptional. She has beaten it for thirty-seven. If a hedge fund produced those returns, the SEC would subpoena the records on a Thursday. She produced them from a building with a chapel and a gift shop.
She announced her retirement last year. No investigation was opened. No disclosure was flagged. Her filings were on time. In my office, on time means compliant. Compliant means closed.
I want to tell you about the fine.
$200. That is the maximum penalty for violating the STOCK Act's disclosure requirements. $200 for a member of Congress whose portfolio gained $4.7 million in a single quarter. I calculated what $200 represents as a percentage of $4.7 million. It is 0.004%. I could not find a comparison that made it meaningful. It is less than the price of the parking pass in the Rayburn garage. It is less than lunch at the members' dining room if you order the crab cakes, which I am told are excellent though I eat at my desk.
Since 2012, thirty-one bills have been introduced to restrict congressional trading. I keep a list. The list is longer than the STOCK Act itself.
On March 5th, 2026, a representative from Michigan introduced the thirty-second. He called it the "No Getting Rich in Congress Act." The bill would prohibit the President, Vice President, members of Congress, and their spouses from trading individual stocks, cryptocurrency, futures, and commodities while in office.
The bill was referred to committee. The committee has not scheduled a hearing. The committee is chaired by a member whose spouse executed $2.1 million in trades last year.
The bill will be reviewed. In my office, reviewed means read. Read means acknowledged. Acknowledged means a status has been assigned. A status is the absence of an action that has been given a name so it looks like one.
The soldier used classified information to make $409,881 on a prediction market. He has been charged with five federal crimes. The Department of Justice announced the case on the same day I processed three disclosures from members who traded on committee knowledge worth a combined $3.8 million.
The difference between the soldier and the members is not what they did. It is the building they did it in. He did it from Fort Bragg. They did it from the Capitol. He used a prediction market. They used the New York Stock Exchange. He bet on a military operation. They bet on the legislation they write.
He did not write the law. They did. They wrote the STOCK Act. Then they funded its enforcement at zero dollars. Then they set its maximum penalty at $200. Then they gave my office the authority to waive it. Then they traded $635 million.
The soldier flew to Caracas. He breached a compound. He put his body between a mission and a bullet. The people who ordered the operation were in a building with a credenza and sparkling water. They did not go to Caracas. They went to their brokerage accounts. The soldier made $409,881 and is now in federal custody. The people who knew what he was going to do before he did it made more and filed less. His prosecution is not a failure of the system. It is the system. One conviction per decade, at the lowest level, so the briefing slides can say enforcement exists. The $409,881 is not the crime. It is the cost of making $635 million look supervised.
In my field, we call this self-regulation.
The soldier's Polymarket account has been frozen. His military career is over. He will spend years in federal prison. My office will process every congressional disclosure filed this year. Every trade logged. Every $200 fine calculated and waived. The system is immaculate.
Fourteen years. Zero prosecutions. $635 million a year. A 16,930% return.
I have not leaked a document. I have not filed a complaint. I have not deviated from the process one single time. The process was written by the people whose forms I process.
As long as the disclosures go up and the cases don't, my performance review says I am meeting expectations.
My lanyard still says ETHICS. In eleven years, nobody has asked me to define the word.
