On his main feed Bo French has been mostly careful to do tweets about the Texas oil and gas industry. Presumably a lot of folks have been asking him to keep it tight. But in the replies, he’s back to doing interracial cuck fear again

NEWS: I obtained a recording of Peter Thiel's latest Nashville Antichrist lectures. In his third talk delivered on Oct. 12, he breaks with the Trump admin on the U.S. war with Iran. “I think we should not have done it,” he said. “There were a lot of mistakes that were made.” politico.com/news/2026/10/21…

Imagine telling somebody in 2014 that in the next decade Donald Trump would be in his second term as president and closing out the midterms talking about hunks every day
Trump: You have Darline and her very handsome husband. That’s a good looking husband.

I asked Chris Christie, former New Jersey governor and Vivek Ramaswamy's fiercest critic during the 2024 nomination fight, about the attack ad and Vance's defense. "For the last decade, our party has been infected by a corrupted moral center," he said. Full comment here:

Don't be surprised if the House votes to impeach Pete Hegseth when they return next month. Massie tells me he'll bring his articles up "very soon" after they return and predicted that the "retirement caucus" will expand on November 3. Republicans who lose might just want to vote their conscience. puck.news/hegseth-impeachmen…

Pete Hegseth is “incompetent on every level,” Thom Tillis told our @jmart. Tillis said the defense secretary should be fired, citing the cancelled livestream execution to explain how “inadequate” Hegseth is. Listen to his full interview: politi.co/4ib1c0L

Threatening Tom Cotton, for example, for not wanting to adjust daylight saving time, exposing his cellphone number. Senator, none of those things were from Trump’s advisers. Those are from Trump himself. You’ve got to give him some agency, don’t you? Yeah, but here’s the thing. I don’t know, maybe I need to dust off the Constitution one more time. I haven’t found any section in there where you can fire him, and I’m not going to impeach him. What you can do is fire his advisers, and his advisers being changed will change his behavior because you can’t possibly think that every single idea is his coming out of this administration. And that’s my point. He’s going to be whoever he is. The only thing I can change are the people around him that may be able to tamp down some of those emotions but also not come up with really, really, really shitty ideas that he implements. But isn’t that a hell of a way to run a railroad? Hey, look, it’s exactly why we’re headed to — to continue the analogy — a train wreck in November.

Regarding the Acton/Ramaswamy story, amazing local Ohio journalists are doing critical reporting. Most only have a few thousand followers. Meanwhile 'influencers' with tens or hundreds of thousands have been wildly irresponsible and contributed no facts of value. See the problem?
