"Did MAGA activist Jack Posobiec just accidentally compare President Donald Trump to Adolf Hitler?"

No. I'm pretty sure that was intentional.

I hear that Posobiec has issues with Antifa.
I wonder what that's about.

Four Jack Posobiec tweets using the Neo-Nazi "1488" code.

A really old trick conservatives use is to accuse liberals of supporting an idea that would make sense under liberal values but that liberals don't actually support for tactical reasons. So you face a choice of either accepting the false accusation or you argue against your own values.

Saw a CBS ghoul trying to hound Hakeem fucking Jeffries about whether “illegal aliens get the ACA subsidies” by reasking the question multiple times after Jeffries said it wasn’t true. You’d think he was interviewing a Nixon staffer about watergate.

A large proportion of the self-described witches I've met were crafters. I think it almost goes hand-in-hand.

MAGA is freaking out & splintering over a leaked text chain—which TPUSA’s Andrew Kolvet says is real—where Kirk wrote “Just lost another Jewish donor…Jewish donors play into all the stereotypes. I cannot & will not be bullied like this. Leaving me no choice but to leave the pro Israel cause.” 1/

It isn't juvenile to expect that a lot of people won't vote for a party that they see as ineffective and only a lite version of their opposition. If that worked, we'd be in a different position right now.

It helps to have a carrot and a stick. I'm not saying that they don't have carrots (though I'd debate how well-grown those carrots may be), but they could sure do a better job of advertising those carrots.

Dems, meanwhile, want to engage their voters via PowerPoint decks that show how brilliant their ideas are, and then wonder why they keep getting stuffed in high school gym lockers by their opponents.

More evidence of predictive programming?
It's about as solid as most other "evidence" of such.
In other words, not very solid at all.

The 1998 movie "Snakes Eyes" starring Nicolas Cage featured a character named Charles Kirkland who was shot in the neck. But that's basically where the similarities between the film and Charlie Kirk's killing end: www.snopes.com/news/2025/10...

Kash Patel has responded to Jim Stewartson’s attempt to throw out a default judgment of $250,000 against him for defamation. It does not look good for Jim. He claims he was never served properly, but it seems that wasn’t the case. They also have screenshots of his tweets. Showing he was aware.

Libraries worldwide have been impacted by Trump's tariffs. Books that are on loan from US libraries to international libraries are getting tariffed on their way back in, getting books from international libraries has turned into an expensive nightmare, etc:

Libraries Can’t Get Their Loaned Books Back Because of Trump’s Tariffs

Libraries have shared their collections internationally for decades. Trump’s tariffs are throwing that system into chaos and can ‘hinder academic progress.’
