"There's truth underneath all this fake outrage. Conservatives really are at a disadvantage in pop culture because most creative people are liberals, which has always been true & probably always will be. While MAGA has had some success building a culture machine, what it produces is mostly banal."

It's been over 9 months since the Palisades and Eaton Fires tore through Los Angeles. We asked for federal support, but we haven’t heard a word from the White House.

Not a single offer.

Is this what leadership looks like? Abandoning the American people when they call for help?

She sees the writing on the wall. She sees the polling. She’s been breaking from the party line a good bit lately. This is a strategic and calculated political move that I honestly didn’t think she was capable of. Don’t get wrong, I’m glad she’s doing it and I’m here for it.

Our authoritarianism is run on clichés borrowed from the Eastern Europe of twenty years ago. Paid protestors, disloyal cities, evil Soros, vast conspiracies — it was all tiresome then and there, and now it’s pathetic.

Trump: "They're, like, insurrectionists, they're terrible people. But you really wonder why. Why are they doing it? What are they gaining? Other than they're obviously paid. They're paid a lot of money."

My gosh. After the US bombed multiple boats in the middle of the ocean, murdering people on grounds that they were allegedly "carrying drugs," the US Attorney General says "Just like we did with cartels, we're going to take the same approach, President Trump, with Antifa."

Incredible.

Jack Posobiec references the earliest version of antifa -- the anti-fascists in the Weimar Republic who were opposed to the Nazi Party -- as the bad guys.

Jack just inadvertently compared the Trump MAGA regime to Hitler’s Nazi regime.

That’s quite the self-own, Jack Posobiec.

Republicans claim they are opposed to political violence yet their Dear Leader is directing ICE terrorists to commit domestic terrorism against the citizens of the United States.

That IS political violence.

He can have all the roundtables on antifa he wants.

Truth is, he’s lost the narrative. Majority of Americans don’t believe it anymore. They see it for the desperation it is.

When we have prevailed...(and...we will)...and are engaged in a vigorous and unending process of protecting what we saved, doing so with a ferocity we hadn't been for decades, be one of those who is unquestionably able to say, "I never gave in. I didn't allow my position to slip so much as an inch."
