KAROLINE LEAVITT on Eric Swalwell: “I hope that the journalists in this room will do their jobs… to ask Democrats in power how they knew about such despicable behavior from one of their elected representatives for so long, but never said or did anything about it.”

That the United States should win a war with Iran is not exactly a surprise, whatever the funny wishful thinking of the commentariat might have been in the first weeks. (Think of, say, a "war" between a T-Rex and a mouse). The really fun part is that this specific victory doesn't seem to lend itself to criticism from any of the usual angles: - The enemy is not going to bounce back later: it has lost its global nuisance capacity forever, and just rebuilding its civilian infrastructure will cost hundreds of billions that it doesn't have. - The enemy will agree with exactly all the conditions imposed on it. The current economic stranglehold imposed on it will see to that. - The amount of pooor ciiviiliaan caasualtiies is ridiculously low. - There has been no massive economic crisis as a consequence of the war - just a modest, temporary spike in oil prices, which never even reached their nominal level of May-June 2022. - The U.S. did not engage any ground troops whatsoever, so no "quagmire" can be claimed. - The effect of the war is not temporary, but structural. The Persian Gulf is now, and will remain for decades, an American lake. In short, absolutely none of the tired talking points against the previous wars can even remotely be credibly applied here. This is the purest, most perfect American triumph since 1945.

Bishop Athanasius Schneider speaks very clearly: "They are not refugees, they are invaders who want to Islamize Europe. They want to destroy historical culture in Europe.” They should have made him Pope.

🚨🧵 THREAD: Braver Angels says they're bipartisan and just bringing people together. Their own leadership coordinates with an anti-Trump political infrastructure network.🚨 This thread is not about BA's members. Many are sincere, and I thank @wilksopinion and @JohnRWoodJr for communicating with me. This is about the infrastructure steering them: IMIP. On August 18, 2025, Harry Boyte, a former Democratic Socialists of America board member, YES, that DSA announced Maury Giles' new role as Braver Angels CEO on video and their shift in strategy from depolarization to civic action: "David has put together a featured plenary at the National Conference on Citizenship... which will be a launch of a new stage for Braver Angels that some of us have been working on for a while." IMIP is the Inter-Movement Impact Project. It coordinates BA's strategic direction. Its own May 2025 document quotes David Brooks approvingly: "Short term: Stop Trump. Foil his efforts. Pile on the lawsuits." Braver Angels' members are bipartisan. Their leadership is adjacent to anti-Trump infrastructure. This thread has all the receipts. As always, patience as I pull together the thread.👇

Rep. Greg Murphy just STUNNED the Democrats during the RFK Jr. hearing by using his time to rip Anthony Fauci to shreds. He called out Fauci for lying to Congress and destroying public trust in the entire healthcare system. MURPHY: “We’re talking a little bit about vaccination, I think we oughta talk a little bit about the arrogance of a fellow named Anthony Fauci...” “Who came an LIED to Congress, LIED to the American people, and in my opinion, DESTROYED the confidence of the American public in the healthcare system.” “So I think that when we’re talking about vaccination, that’s number one.” “Number two, is your predecessor who is not a physician either, led the greatest invasion in this country of 13-20 million illegal people coming in this country, who we’re NOT vaccinated, and brought in disease into this country.” “So let’s actually bring facts into that conversation.”

I had received some questions about President @realDonaldTrump's recent posts, and here are my thoughts: I do not believe President Trump would knowingly depict himself as Jesus Christ—that would certainly be inappropriate. I’m thankful the President has made it very clear that this was not at all what he thought the AI-generated image was representing—he thought it was a doctor helping someone, and when he learned of the concerns, he immediately removed the post. When I looked at the illustration, I didn’t jump to the same conclusion as some. There were no spiritual references—no halo, there were no crosses, no angels. It was a flag, soldiers, a nurse, fighter planes, eagles, the Statue of Liberty, and I think this is a lot to do about nothing. There is so much ill-intended speculation. I think his enemies are always foaming at the mouth at any possible opportunity to make him look bad. And the illustration from someone else he reposted on Truth Social yesterday, I must say that I like the fact that this is a picture of Jesus whispering in his ear, or at least His hand on his shoulder, guiding him. We all need that—we all need to be listening to Jesus. Again, I think there is an attempt to spin this into something that it isn’t. Remember, President Trump didn’t draw this, he didn’t create it, he reposted it on his social media because he thought it was nice—I would have to agree. I’m not a Catholic, I’m an evangelical, but I appreciate how President Trump has defended religious freedom for people of all faiths, including millions of evangelicals and Catholics in the U.S. and around the world. He is the most pro-Christian, pro-life president in my lifetime, and he doesn’t shy away from it. I would hope that the President and Pope Leo can meet at some point, and that the Pope would have the opportunity to thank the President for his efforts to protect religious liberty for Catholics and people of all faiths.

🚨 WATCH: A LIFELONG DEMOCRAT just testified that Tim Walz's admin TARGETED and ATTACKED her for exposing fraud in Minnesota Tim Walz should be in JAIL. Faye Bernstein, a state employee for 20 years, said she first started noticing fraud 7 years ago, and sounded the alarm internally, so the admin began SMEARING her. "The retaliation in the smear campaign is strong. I was called everything from incompetent to racist. People who speak about fraud at state agencies, the first thing that leadership goes to is "RACISM" "It is career-killing, obviously. Who is going to hire someone who is considered racist?!" God bless this brave woman for her bravery 🙏🏻

I have seen enough, and heard enough excuses. We cannot let Democrats sabotage this country. If nuking the filibuster is the only way to deliver on wildly popular legislation like the SAVE America Act, then we need to nuke the filibuster and start passing bills.

Everyone ready to see Adam Schiff take the same death spiral that Eric Swalwell just took?

🚨 Secretary Hegseth DID NOT read an altered version of Ezekiel 25:17. He clearly said: “Which I think is MEANT to reflect Ezekiel 25:17.” You know who actually misquoted Scripture today? Pope Leo putting words in Jesus mouth that He never said.

Thank you to the National Police Chief for the offer, but I continue to decline personal police protection - whether 24-hour or otherwise. I have had nothing to fear so far, and I intend to work in such a way that I will have nothing to fear in the future. Hungary will become a place where no one who works and lives honestly has to be afraid. Thank you to our police officers for their service.

🚨🚨HUNGARIAN CHESS THAT MAKES BRUSSELS CRY🤣😂🤣 🇭🇺 Viktor Orbán places his trusted “traitor” and the EU falls into the perfect trap: the checkmate that has left Brussels, Soros, and Obama humiliated. In a display of political chess so brilliant it borders on the comical, Viktor Orbán sniffed out long ago that the European Union, George Soros, Obama, and the whole globalist club were gunning for him. With no worthwhile left-wing opposition left in Hungary (none of them cracked the laughable 5% electoral threshold), the Hungarian prime minister decided to solve the problem his own way: he took his top ally and right-hand man, Péter Magyar, and sent him out front as a deluxe “opponent.” The plan was as simple as it was genius: Magyar, who until 2024 was a key piece of the Orbán government, dramatically jumped ship, played the dissident, eagerly accepted funds from the very Eurocrats who despise Orbán, and positioned himself as the great hope for “change.” The European left and their patrons fell into the trap like flies into honey. “At last!” they shouted in Brussels, as they cracked open the checkbook. No one understood a thing, of course, because hardly anyone speaks Hungarian and the headlines in Western media were too flattering to question. The result? Magyar won. And the moment he set foot in power, the “traitor” revealed his true face. He declared that the border “isn’t strong enough,” rejected 90% of Ursula von der Leyen’s demands, prioritized the rights of ethnic Hungarians, and in practice, stuck to the same sovereigntist line that so irritates the EU. The European Union, Soros, Obama, and company bit the bait, shelled out the cash, and now stare in stunned disbelief as the “change” they celebrated so much is exactly the same old Orbán—just with a different name. Masterstroke. 5D chess at its finest. And the best part: all of it legal, all of it clean, and all of it right under their noses.

. @SenAdamSchiff said that he has known and worked with @ericswalwell for more than a decade. Schiff also said that he wasn’t going to endorse anyone for Governor until Swalwell got in the race. As soon as Swalwell got in, Schiff went all in. Schiff can’t now say he wasn’t working with or that close to Swalwell.

Putain de respect absolu au génie hongrois ! Orbán ne s’est pas couché. Il n’a pas perdu. Il a feinté comme un putain de loup affamé. Défaite calculée, maître coup de Sun Tzu version Budapest. Il laisse Péter Magyar prendre les rênes… et bam, le poulain balance direct la ligne Orbán EN PLUS SAUVAGE : clôture blindée, trous rebouchés, Pacte migratoire jeté à la poubelle, zéro relocalisation forcée. Traduction : on protège notre pays et l’Europe, point barre. Bruxelles était en train de tringuer au champagne en se tapant dans le dos, persuadée d’avoir brisé la Hongrie. Résultat ? Ils viennent de se faire enculer royalement par leur propre jeu démocratique. C’est ça la vraie anarchie du pouvoir, bande de clowns : faire croire à l’ennemi qu’il a gagné pour mieux lui planter le couteau dans le dos depuis l’intérieur. Orbán ne plie pas. Il infiltre. Il prépare le terrain pour devenir le cheval de Troie de Trump à la tête de la Commission et défoncer Ursula avec son dossier béton (Pfizer, 760 millions, fonds détournés, NextGenerationEU transformés en caisse noire familiale). Hommage total à ce coup de maître. L’UE pensait avoir gagné la partie ? Elle vient de signer son humiliation en lettres de sang. Hongrie debout. Système à terre. Et la rébellion ne fait que commencer. 🔥🇭🇺 #OrbanGenius #UEPiégée #CoupDeMaitre

Declassified Testimony Shows Dems’ First Impeachment of Trump Was Totally Bogus amac.us/newsline/polit…

Please ensure that this information reaches the Vatican.

A 28-year-old Illinois woman LIED claiming she was detained by ICE for nearly two days, but was actually seen on surveillance footage relaxing at a hotel getting spa treatments — and is now being sued by the local sheriff in a $1M defamation lawsuit.

🚨 HOLY SMOKES. Every single Democrat in the Minnesota House Rules Committee votes to BLOCK investigations into fraud under Tim Walz With a straight face, Democrats endorsed $9B+ in stolen tax dollars They're panicked and don't want anyone finding out how this was allowed to happen. REMOVE WALZ FROM OFFICE and start the criminal proceedings for complicity!

Iranian regime planning to execute first female protester. Bita Hemmati, is set to be executed by hanging alongside her husband for taking part in anti-regime protests in January. Where are western feminists? Where is Jane Fonda? Where is Amal Clooney? They are silent.

🚨 House Administration Chairman @RepBryanSteil just grilled Minnesota Secretary of State Steve Simon on Minnesota’s driver’s license and voting laws. STEIL: “Does Minnesota issue driver’s licenses to illegal aliens?” SIMON: Yes. STEIL: “Does the license distinguish whether someone is a citizen?” SIMON: No. Rep. Bryan Steil then pointed out that Minnesota allows same-day voter registration. So an illegal alien could show up to vote using a license that does not indicate whether they are legally eligible. Ouch.
