The Virginia Gentleman

Imagine watching the Deep State torpedo Eric Swalwell in less than 7 days, and still thinking there's a magical career-ending bombshell they've had on Trump but not released over the past 11 years.

@goJohnnyA @ChristianHeiens During the run up to the 24 election, Elon and Vivek mentioned that was going to happen. I think that has been abandoned at this point.

@Collapsetarian @ChristianHeiens It doesn’t matter. Trump should have moved every agency or as much as possible out of DC that would fix VA. It’s a lost cause at this point.

With just five days to go until the Virginia gerrymandering referendum, I've just run the same early vote model that I used in 2021, 2024, and 2025. The results give me an early vote electorate of: 🔴GOP: 35.99% 🔵Dems: 64.01% That's pretty much the ballgame right there. I'm sure "No" will do significantly better than Sears did last November, but national Republicans really just abandoned this fight before it even began. My gut tells me that the GOP is going to fall just short of what it really needed to get on both the persuasion and turnout fronts. I'm expecting "Yes" to win by about 3-7 points. The Supreme Court of Virginia should throw this entire case out because Democrats violated the state constitution and state law in order to even get this referendum on the ballot in the first place (to say nothing of the explicitly partisan language itself), but considering the court is filled with cowards, I'm not holding my breath that they'll do the right thing.

Blackpillers should really just log off the internet between now and the midterms. Similarly to women, you’re just not built for this. We’ll come wake you up when it’s all over.

Good evening @RepRoKhanna. We hope you had a nice Saturday. Several people have requested we comment on your post. We will quickly before we take Mrs. USOGA out for date night. First - like you, we hope this war will end soon and things will return to normal. Until then - things will be what they will be. But high gas prices in your district aren’t “Trump’s war”—they’re Sacramento’s doing. California drivers pay nearly double the national average in state taxes, plus cap-and-trade, Low Carbon Fuel Standard, unique reformulated gasoline, refinery limits, and geographic isolation that blocks cheap imports. That adds $1.00–$1.78+ over the U.S. average. Here is our suggestion. Your proposed windfall profits tax will do nothing to bring relief to your overtaxed and underappreciated constituents. Instead -suspend those state-level taxes first and bring California prices in line with the national average. Put your state bureaucracy on a diet. They could stand to shed a few pounds. Encourage California domestic oil and gas production and expand your refinery capacity instead of shutting it down. Stand up to your Governor. You know he is wrong and you can be on the right side of things And let's talk windfall profits tax. They don't work. While you don't call it a windfall profits tax, California recently passed one and called it a "wealth tax" now you see high net worth individuals fleeing your state. History proves it backfires. The 1980 Crude Oil Windfall Profit Tax cut domestic production 1–8% (hundreds of millions of barrels lost), boosted imports 3–13%, raised far less revenue than projected after deductions, created massive bureaucracy, and was repealed in 1988 because it discouraged supply exactly when America needed more. That in turn led us to depend even more on Middle East imports for another 20 years right up until the shale revolution occurred. Kind of like how California is dependent on imports now. Your repeated sponsorship of a new Big Oil Windfall Profits Tax Act would repeat the exact same mistake—shrinking U.S. output and raising costs. Crude exports? They expand global supply, narrow price spreads (WTI-Brent) which is exerts downward pressure on world prices. It is directly helping allies in Europe and Asia counter China's skirting sanctions and colluding with Iran to purchase crude at huge discounts. Restricting exports would tighten markets, spike costs everywhere—including here—and hurt the consumers you claim to protect. Finally we must also point out that your voting record shows consistent opposition to our industry you want to tax. For example, you: Voted against leasing more public lands and waters for oil drilling (2023, Roll Call 23). Voted against reversing land-management protections to open the Arctic National Wildlife Refuge (ANWR) to oil and gas drilling—multiple times, including 2025 Roll Call 295 and earlier efforts to halt ANWR development. Opposed critical oil and gas leasing reforms and fast-tracking fossil-fuel infrastructure (2024 Roll Call 95; 2025 votes undermining LNG authority and blocking fracking bans). Voted NO on NDAA provisions that would expedite oil/gas permitting (2022–2023). You have a 99% lifetime League of Conservation Voters score—near-perfect opposition to domestic energy exploration, production and leasing. You’ve led hearings attacking us and sponsored bills to repeal industry tax provisions. Fine—own that record. But please stop shifting blame to “Trump’s war” or federal policy while California’s own choices keep your constituents paying the highest pump prices in America. Real relief comes from more American supply + streamlined permitting, not recycled 1980s taxes or more restrictions. Energy abundance, not rhetoric, lowers prices and bolsters U.S. and allied security. Mrs. USOGA has instructed us to put the phone away so we will do that. Have a good weekend.

@lthlnkso Are the riders terror states who chant death to America and have funded terrorist attacks for decades?

Imagine you work at Uber corporate. Riders keep complaining about a driver who keeps threatening to kill people. You... A) Suspend the driver. He's dangerous. B) Ignore the complaints. The driver makes a lot of threats. Now, imagine this driver is the president.

@esaagar Hysteria Points

A few friends told me that saying TACO implies ridicule or chiding. To me is just a generic term at this point for a pretty clear Trump pattern of backing down but I see their point considering the literal meaning of the acronym so let me just say I’m very glad this happened!

@DMW52 @EndTribalism It really has become Hysteria Points, ever since Ukraine. Totally YouTube algorithm capture.

@EndTribalism How many times has Breaking Points predicted WWIII or nuclear war. They have no credibility.

“I’m going to do whatever I can to make sure you don’t get a single inch closer to power.” Saagar Enjeti says people around Trump not speaking out against the war with Iran should never hold political office again. “This is sick.” “This is the world on a precipice of disaster, potential nuclear weapons use.” “These motherfu**ers are sitting in their offices thinking about running for office.” “I'm nobody, but maybe enough people together will be something.” @esaagar @ryangrim

@Cernovich When the redistricting vote goes through, will you finally drop this narrative that Virginia is some swing state and realize Youngkin was an anomaly caused by Covid lockdown/Loudon County School backlash?

A cautionary tale. Yes, Glenn Youngkin chose a poor candidate and bypassed a primary. His career should be over. Even so, voters had a choice. They sat home, mad at Trump, mad a life. Now they are getting reamed. There's no such thing as a moderate Democrat.

@LibertyLockPod @TheQuartering Please list the books you read for such a moronic take. So we can all avoid them.

@TheQuartering We know. You're a Trump sycophant and Con Inc grifter who knows nothing about politics at all. You'd have to open at least one book to consider yourself a libertarian. Disqualified off the bat.

I thought for a little while that I was a libertarian. I've never been more politically homeless in my life.

@TheQuartering He cannot be serious, is he?

@Cernovich Wrong.

Virginia Republicans sat out the last election. How did that work out?

@beinlibertarian There will be no secession, the State won't allow it. Virginia is a lost cause.

You’re not gonna save Virginia by voting Republican. Northern VA has the rest of the State outnumbered. You will save VA by secession from NOVA. Stop sharing governments with people who hate you.

@Cernovich Stop posting this, it is simply untrue.

Republicans in Virginia got mad at Trump (no one can even remember why), threw a tantrum, stayed home. After all, they said, Democrats ran a "moderate." Immediately there were laws to ban guns, raise taxes, and steal Republican Congressional seats.

@ScottPresler As a Virginian we appreciate your efforts!

On the way to Yorktown, VA. Then, Virginia Beach, VA. Then, Pike County, PA. Then, Beaver County, PA. Then, Butler County, PA. Then, Colorado. Then, Indiana. Then, Virginia. Then, Arizona. Then, Georgia. Then, Alaska. Body is so tired, but I refuse to stop. I’m here to WORK!

“Dubai will run out of interceptors in days, then it’s over” “Iran are using their old missiles first, wait until they use their new stuff” “Dubai will run out of food, shelves will be empty, have fun starving” “Iran will hit desalination plants then you’ve got no water” “Iran will send ground troops to the UAE” We get it, you don’t like the UAE, you want to see us all suffer But honestly, it’s getting a little embarrassing Surely at some point you’re going to have to have a word with yourself about being wrong every single time you share an opinion

"We hit an apartment building, we are winning". As another round of B52s with 20+ JASSMs each run a train on the military infrastructure for the third week.

Tucker Carlson: “But you have to ask yourself why? Who benefits from Rohan and Isengard fighting?” Wormtongue: “I think it’s clear the only answer is Gondor.”

So this is actually a very instructive example of the entire issue of the conspiratorial podcast scene. It would take exactly 2 minutes of research to know everything @ShawnRyan762 says here is objectively wrong. See next post for the explanation.

Remember three weeks ago when Douglas Macgregor said Iran had destroyed "all our bases" and "all our ports," forcing the U.S. Navy to retreat to India? And that Russia and China were sitting on the sidelines ready to join the conflict? Any update on that?
