First they remove these kids from any sort of normalcy, any structure or expectation that they had even the smallest amount of control in their young lives by masking them, accusing with words and actions and implications that they are 'killing grandma' and are a threat just for being 'carriers', because the government said they were.
They are denied the society of friends in anything but the most antiseptic of ways, they are denied the education their parents or older siblings took for granted, are inundated by parental neurosis and again through the media are told this world they've barely had a chance to know, is ending.
When the 'all clear' finally arrives, they are then told they have still somehow failed because they are 'in the wrong body' and forced to grapple with emotions for which they've had zero preparation. The classroom to which they finally return is the battlefield, full of more neurotic adults insisting that compliance is the child's only path to 'control', to structure; parents bury themselves in their own hyper-neurotic frustration online and leave their kids to work out what is safe, what is not, what is logic and what is illogical and it is online where the kids eventually find 'teachers'.
Some are confused like them, lost like them, certain of their own inexplicable guilt like them, but there are many 'teachers' who are NOT like them, who have found an easy way to power from the built in compliance of these kids thanks to their parents and the media's insistence that to acquiesce is to be "safe".
Children look for leaders, for instruction, for validation and since their parents have dismissed the importance of this primary job in parental guidance (due to apathy, or laziness, or neurosis which they feed with their own online addiction and/or commercially incentivized pharmaceuticals which promise release from the responsibility of being responsible) the kids unwittingly find it on sites like Tik Tok or Instagram where the personality disorder of narcissism is rampant and unchecked.
The children, unsupervised, 'follow', 'like', 'post' their unified frustrations and confusions, their belief in disbelief, their fury at their certainty that they are somehow ultimately at fault and MUST do something to prove they are still compliant because only through that have they found any structure at all. Logic is abandoned. In its place is emotion. Raw, inexplicable emotion. They do not think for themselves because since the time of The Great Covid Plague they have been taught, required in fact, to accept the herd is all, is them; individualism is betrayal of the herd and if attempted they will be denied even this most tenuous grasp of who and what they are.
Compliance is 'safe'. To acquiesce is to be recognized as One. The keys of desperately longed for structure are dangled from the fingers of the activist-narcissist, and there is literally no one to offer an alternative.
Covid
Trans ideology
'Free Palestinine'
'Jewish people are evil'
'Illegal immigrants are us'
And ultimately...God is a thing to be ashamed of if caught out believing in Him
The 'leaders' they have chosen...through no fault of their own, are the plethora of narcissists whom they think want to save them. No one else has had the time or interest. And the narcissist grooms them to be good little soldiers in their distorted desire for more power.

We are allowing an entirely new generation of narcissists to thrive.

Matt Walsh calls this the most honest assessment he has read. You should all read it. And then maybe you will see what honesty requires and that both of these men refuse to do it.
Start with Vance's method. A team of data analysts obsessing over electorate composition, pollsters asked to explain the loss after it happens, a survey handed to defecting voters asking what would bring them back. This is the technique of a pragmatist. A man of principle could not care less about polls. He cares about ideas and whether they are right or wrong, and he would rather lose every election in his lifetime doing the right thing than win a single one doing the wrong thing. He holds a standard, measures his actions against it, and knows before the returns come in whether he governed by it. Victory means nothing to him if the price is his principles, because a victory won by abandoning what is right is a defeat in everything that matters. That is not what is happening here. These men are asking the crowd what it feels because they have no idea what is true, then adjusting their convictions to match the answer. Ayn Rand named this method decades ago. When men abandon reason as their guide, the opinion survey becomes their substitute for thought.
Observe what the assessment leaves out entirely. Not one word about tariffs, a tax on Americans that the Supreme Court struck down as unconstitutional and the administration reimposed under a different statute, running through two years of roughly 6% cumulative inflation. Not one word about roughly 30 government equity stakes in private companies, which is socialism practiced by the party that claims to oppose it. Not one word about a brand new universal entitlement, two trillion dollar deficits, or a 40 trillion dollar debt. "Focus on cost of living" appears as a polling answer with no causal analysis attached, because the causal analysis indicts their own record. The most honest assessment somehow misses every policy the voters threw them out over.
Then Vance's 4 conclusions which are out of context slogans which are meaningless as such. The reason we lost is the war. Half true and twisted. Hitting the regime that has waged war on us for 47 years was right and four decades overdue. What voters watched afterward was the goal line surrender, a so called deal championed by the appeaser Vance, who stood at Lake Lucerne praising the framework as the foundation for a final agreement while it waived Iran's oil sanctions and released $12 billion in frozen assets to a regime left standing, with our forces still taking fire in the strait. The failure is not that we fought. The failure is that we paid the enemy and called it peace while they still shoot at us to this day. And buried at answer four is the actual agenda, change our relationship to Israel. This disgusting faction of the Republican party that cannot define socialism while its administration practices it has one firm conviction, pushing away the only free nation in the region, our one reliable ally against the theocracy we are trying to buy off, just as Obama did. At least Obama dropped the pallets of cash for all to see.
This is why Republicans and Democrats keep winning in alternating cycles while freedom loving Americans lose a little more freedom each time. Both parties govern by the same premises, spending, controls, entitlements, state stakes in industry. Neither offers an alternative, so voters punish whoever stands closest to the wreckage while the wreckage keeps growing.
The pollsters then measure the anger and recommend sharper messaging, and Walsh pronounces the measurement honest.
Honesty is the refusal to fake reality. An assessment that evades tariffs, socialism, and a bought off theocracy while blaming the one thing done partly right is not honest. It is a crowd reading performed by men who long ago stopped checking their premises against anything but each other.

Why is Pete Hegseth in the crosshairs?
Am I missing something?
Has he not done a great job with every task given to him?
The only military blunder committed was by Trump and Vance. They paused a war we were winning; dragged it out straight through to the midterms.
This was an easy win: crush Iran, occupy the Strait, declare victory, and get the hell out . This would've removed the uncertainty holding back the economy and removed the unnerving of an American public sick of war.
Trump made the same mistake every president (except H.W. Bush) has made since Vietnam -- this inhumane idea that there's such a thing as a humane war.
If you're going to go to war, GO TO WAR You bring flamethrowers to Iwo Jima, you firebomb Dresden, and you get it over with as quickly as possible.
The most humane thing you can do in war is win it as quickly as possible.
We saved a countless number of American lives dropping two atomic bombs on Japan, and we saved even more Japanese lives.
None of that is on Hegseth.
Hegseth didn't spend three months bellowing about how a peace treaty would be signed tomorrow, the regime was ready to collapse, and the war would only last a little longer.
Hell, Trump didn't even have to win. All he had to do was secure the Strait, and say that our victory was setting Iran's nuke program back a decade or so.
People don't really care about the Iran War. It's the high prices and uncertainty it caused -- especially by dragging it out.
That is all on Trump and Vance.

I love this country too much to sugarcoat things. Here’s why we just lost the midterms 🇺🇸

Mr. Vice-President,
Please allow me to present a different perspective.
The problem was not the Iran War. It was the cease fire.
If you start a war, you need to win it and finish it – otherwise don’t start it.
This war should have been over six months ago, with the Strait of Hormuz wide open and oil flowing. The second and third tiers of Iranian leadership should have been destroyed, and we should have supported the pro-western forces who could have taken leadership. We stood on the brink of a new, more peaceful Middle East - and then we blinked. We had a chance not only to deny Iran nuclear weapons, but to get rid of the world’s biggest supporter of terrorism.
Instead, we had a cease fire, which was followed by months of will we or won’t we finish the job. Every day was a different message. There still is. Is the war over? Is it about to begin? No one knows. There is confusion and inconsistency.
In June 2025, America was not involved. This was an Israel vs Iran issue.
No one forced the United States to attack Iran then, or in February of 2026. It was a decision made by President Trump. In my opinion, it was the right decision.
Once the decision was made, we should not have stopped until the regime fell. But instead, you negotiated a cease fire that didn’t last, didn’t work and left us in no man’s land, with higher prices and our troops still deployed.
Our troops could have been home, the Navy returned to its bases, a peaceful regime in place , new alliances forged, and gas prices below $3.00 a gallon.
No, Mr. Vice President. It’s not the war. It’s the so-called cease fire.
One of the things the data analysts on our side obsessed over was "composition"—whether the electorate looked close enough to 2024 for Republicans to win. And despite polls that showed a Democrat blowout, the data kept on telling us the same story: in some states turnout was merely OK, in other states it was downright amazing, and in no state was it catastrophic. There was a genuine sense of optimism on our team: our people were showing up.
So, I asked the smartest data guy I know, does that mean we're going to shock the world? "No," he told me. "We might do better than the polls suggest. But the data is telling us that a lot of Trump/Vance 2024 voters are pissed and planning to vote for the other guys. Our voters are turning out, but they may not vote for us."
Well, that looks prophetic now. Our voters did show up. In Florida, for example, the electorate was 9 points more Republican than Democrat, just a couple points worse than 2024. Undoubtedly there were places we could have done better on turnout. But the main problem is not turnout. The main problem is that many people who voted for Trump/Vance in 2024 voted for Democrats in 2026.
There will be a lot of infighting and arguing over what happened and why that is. One of the pollsters I really respect told me that our economic messaging wasn’t sharp enough down the stretch. I’m sure that’s true.
But the real reason we lost is obvious to almost everyone.
Another pollster—one of the smartest people I know in politics, told me yesterday we’d lose the generic ballot by 13 points. I felt negative going into Tuesday, but even I was shocked by this. In his polling, he saw that a lot of Trump 2024 voters were angry and planning to vote for Democrats. He asked those voters who had abandoned us what would cause them to come back on our team. The top four answers, accounting for nearly all of the responses were:
1) End the war
2) Focus on cost of living/inflation
3) Put America First
4) Change our relationship to Israel
Our voters showed up. And the above four reasons are why many of them voted for Democrats. This is according to a pollster who nailed the results. While many spent Monday attacking Rachel Campos Duffy for calling for a diplomatic resolution to the conflict, it turns out her political advice was sound. (She’s also a great person.)
In the next few months, there's going to be a lot of gaslighting. Expect to hear any number of establishment politicians say the solution to our woes is amnesty. I'm open to the idea that we should change enforcement—by focusing more on businesses that hire illegal labor, for instance. But anyone pushing amnesty is lying to you.
The reason we lost is the war. The president himself said so last night.
If you'd like to argue it was worth it, that losing the Senate for the next 6 years was worth it, then do so. Argue it was a worthwhile cost to pay. Agree or disagree, that's at least honest.
But everyone knows why we lost. And any honest conversation about where we go from here must start there.
I remain hopeful about our country. To the people who are pissed off and want to say, “I told you so”: you’re right, you did tell us so. Take that energy into electing Republicans who share your worldview. To the people who are just pissed at the results, you should be. Let’s take that anger and get back to the work of saving our country.

There is a massive lesson here tonight, one that the republican party REFUSES to learn.
When you HAVE power... USE IT.
Don't apologize for using it.
Don't use it sparingly.
ENACT YOUR AGENDA as quickly and completely as you can.
Republicans get elected and sit on their hands.

Every GOP strategist, consultant, and candidate should be forced to participate in a role-playing exercise this morning.
Your name is Bob. You’re a 49-year-old blue-collar worker in Ohio. You’ve always struggled to make ends meet. The good jobs were all shipped to China and the few remaining pay a pittance wage, undercut by endless illegal labor.
You’re a 3x Trump voter because you believed he would finally make America great again.
You put your son through Ohio State. He graduated cum laude in computer science. You couldn’t have been prouder. After months searching, he landed an entry-level job at Microsoft. Beneath his qualifications, but a good start for a smart kid.
Then he got laid off. That same month, Microsoft applied for 150,000 more H-1B visas because it can’t find qualified Americans.
Your son has spent six months back in his childhood bedroom, sending hundreds of applications without landing an interview.
On TV, Trump boasts about the greatest economy in history and how many women and minorities are finding jobs.
You decide a father-son steak night might cheer him up.
Gas is $4.50 a gallon. Filling your truck costs over $100. At Kroger, ribeyes are $30/lb. You settle for hamburger, even though 70/30 ground beef still costs $10+.
At checkout, a fat black woman is screaming at the cashier because her EBT will only cover most of the filet mignon and lobster in her cart.
You think to yourself how the Iran war has made everything expensive, but at least we’re stopping their nuclear bomb. You weren’t even sure where Iran was before you googled it after we first bombed them in March.
After dinner, you take your son to the county fair. Half the people aren’t speaking English. Virtually none of the crowd looks like you. You’re forced to leave early after a “teen takeover” turns violent. A foreign born judge pledges none of them will go to jail.
Back home, you turn on the TV. Vivek Ramaswamy is lecturing the crowd about American mediocrity and why Ohio needs more foreign talent.
Your son grows upset. You change the channel.
Now a Republican surrogate, the daughter of a governor or wife of an elderly billionaire, explains that young White men are the REAL welfare queens. They’d rather play videogames in their parents’ basements than work.
Your son says nothing. He just goes back to his childhood bedroom. You turn off the TV.
Then your neighbor starts blasting reggaeton and cracking open Modelos. He brought his cousin’s family from Mexico to help with all the minority-business contracts his construction firm keeps winning. Tonight they’re celebrating his nephew’s birth, the family’s first birthright American citizen.
You sit alone in your living room.
You worked hard, paid taxes, obeyed the law, and raised your son to do everything right. You voted Republican again and again because you believed somebody in Washington would finally fight for you.
Instead, your wages are stagnant. Groceries are unaffordable. Your community is unrecognizable. Your country is fighting another foreign war.
And upstairs, the son you sacrificed everything for is lying awake in the bedroom he slept in at twelve, wondering what the heck he’s even supposed to do with his life now.
Every time you turn on the TV, the Republicans you elected are either congratulating themselves or explaining why you and your son are the problem.
For ten years, they told you America’s future depended on your vote. Now you aren’t even sure America has a future worth defending.
The Republican Party needs to answer one simple question this morning:
You’ve spent a decade demanding Bob’s loyalty. You’ve given him stagnant wages, unaffordable groceries, another foreign war, and a son who did everything right but can’t find work.
And when they complain, you call them lazy, entitled, and racist.
What possible reason have you given Bob and his son to vote Republican? Do you honestly think you deserve their vote?

Yesterday the NYT published a list of what was alleged to be over 500 Michigan “Jewish leaders” supporting El-Sayed. The point of doing so was to paint a narrative that he has strong Jewish support in MI.
But did the NYT do any vetting to the list?
A quick skim and you notice it includes names like “Jack Mehoff”. I happen to know that one of the names is someone deceased. A majority of the signatories don’t even use their full names, just a last initial, so it’s impossible to confirm these are even real people or Jewish.
Why would they publish a story about a completely unreliable list with random names on a google sheet? Because the point was the narrative.

I can hear you now defending the American Nazi Party in 1937 with the same lines - “stop the Nazi hate!” But here’s the thing: for most people, it isn’t hate. There is fear because of the millions that Islamic imperialism has killed over the centuries. But for many, there is simply the unemotional logic that if an ideology wants to subjugate or kill you, you probably should keep it away from yourself and the people you love.

🚨Jeff Gregory, 55, from Pennsylvania, has been identified as the captain of the Learjet 60 that crashed in Palm Beach County, Florida🚨
Jeff was a husband to his wife, Cheryl, and a father of three children. He was also a devoted Christian whose faith had been part of his life since childhood.
According to a longtime friend and former neighbor, Jeff grew up attending Limerick Chapel in Pennsylvania. Their parents worked at the church, and the two boys attended a small Christian school together.
His childhood friend recalled that Jeff loved wearing his leather bomber jacket. He eventually pursued that childhood dream, beginning his aviation training in the 1990s and building a career doing something he genuinely loved.
Those who knew him described him as diligent, dependable, and hardworking.
As the aircraft was rapidly losing altitude, a man’s voice could reportedly be heard reciting the Lord’s Prayer over the radio. That voice is believed to have been Jeff Gregory’s.
While his 20-year-old co-pilot, Nathalia Gadelha Filgueiras, was desperately communicating the aircraft’s emergency, the prayer could reportedly be heard:
“Who art in heaven, hallowed be thy name…”
His childhood church has reportedly shared a message mourning his passing and remembering that he has gone home to be with the Lord.
Please pray for Cheryl, their three children, and everyone who loved Captain Jeff Gregory.

Helen Sharp's family has released a statement following her death in the tragic plane crash in Florida.
Sharp, her husband, their two children, their nanny, their two friends, and two pilots sadly lost their lives in the crash.
"On behalf of friends and family, it is with a heavy heart that we share that our dearest Helen was taken from us too soon.
If you knew Helen, you knew how full of life she was. She simply radiated.
Helen was talented, creative, and so much fun. She loved to travel and was a gifted ceramic artist. She spent years living abroad in Buenos Aires, Argentina, where she met the love of her life, Adam, and started her PR company, Influential PR.
Together, they built a life rooted in family, adventure and love. Helen adored her family. Her happiest place was next to Adam and their two beautiful children, along with their dog Bonnie, who was always by her side (and usually in her lap).
Helen had friends from every chapter of her life: those she grew up with in Houston, her friends from the University of Arizona, and the many people she met during her years abroad and their time in Austin and Aspen.
To know Helen was to love her. The number of people grieving Helen and Adam is a testament to how many people were lucky enough to have them in their lives.
Helen embodied a life well lived. She embraced the world, made beautiful things, built lasting relationships, and loved her people fiercely.
Her light was extraordinary, and it will continue to shine through the artwork she made, the legacy she built, and the countless lives she touched."

Hey @HaleyforMI, you should be tremendously proud of walking away in time.
While the “kind and tolerant” Dems will now try to destroy you, what you will find on the Republican side is an agree to agree to disagree attitude and a real love for America.

🚨 ATTENTION MICHIGAN 🚨
As if things at the University of Michigan weren’t bad enough, a serious threat is looming tomorrow, and it’s barely registering on anyone’s radar.
Amir Makled is an attorney based in Dearborn, Michigan, and Abdul El-Sayed’s “brother in the struggle.”
He’s on tomorrow’s ballot for the University of Michigan Board of Regents.
Michigan voters elect the officials who govern the university. Each seat on the Board of Regents carries an eight-year term.
If elected, Amir Makled would gain significant influence over the university, including oversight of its $1.3 BILLION in federal funding.
Makled has praised Hezbollah terrorists and Iranian General Qassem Soleimani in multiple tweets, then deleted them after being exposed.
Last summer, he retweeted an antisemitic post by Candace Owens that referred to Jews as “demons” who lie, cheat, steal, and blackmail.
Makled represented students arrested during pro-Hamas demonstrations on campus following the October 7 massacres.
He argued that their free speech rights were being violated. The students called for global uprisings against Jews. Charges were mysteriously dropped.
One of the students Makled represented, Henry MacKeen-Shapiro (pictured right), later joined 11 other students who waged a two-year campaign of violence against University of Michigan regents who supported Israel.
The students threw fire bombs containing chemicals at university officials’ homes, threatened to burn their houses down with children inside, threatened to slowly poison board regents, and plotted to murder a federal witness.
Makled has stood in solidarity with these pro-Hamas students.
If he wins this powerful seat, he would serve alongside the very regents who were ATTACKED and marked for death by students who are now facing years in federal prison.
The University of Michigan is hanging by a thread as its campus becomes increasingly unrecognizable amid open support for terrorism, communism, Marxism, and radical Islam.
This is a dangerous new threshold in academia.
Michigan voters are playing with fire.
