True alpha energy isn’t loud…it’s disciplined.
Jack Smith sat for 8 hours of testimony and didn’t invoke the Fifth once. No theatrics. No whining. Just accountability.
That’s how real alpha males operate. Calm. Controlled. Unafraid. Donald Trump isn’t even male. He’s mail. JUNK mail.

Trump's DOJ has been ordered to embark on a sweeping crackdown on "left-wing domestic terrorism." Civil liberties experts warn it could lead to a level of politicized FBI surveillance of Americans not seen since the era of J. Edgar Hoover and COINTELPRO.

I'm old enough to remember when the networks refused to carry an incredibly important speech at Independence Hall in Philadelphia by President Biden about creeping fascism in the U.S. because it was "too political".
