Beshear got less votes in his gubernatorial election than Kamala did last year in the KY Presidential election 😂

More people turned out for a worse candidate but yeah he’s got a real chance in 2028 lmao

Anyone who read any of my posts on Andy know i think hes awful. However I thinks its naive to say he wont be a factor. He is almost surely going to be on that ticket.

His entire draw is going to be cutting the middle America impact of jd. He doesn't have to outdraw him, just cut the impact enough that it gets close enough for a steal.

Well within reach imo.

I agree we need to cut their funding. However imo theyre way down the list of priorities. We need to cut out all ngo funding. Then cut out most every other piece of foreign aid.

Israel comes last imo. They are our lightning rod. The crazies over in the ME would be over here exploding themselves in churches if it wasn't for Israel.

So they earn some degree of funding just for that alone, imo.

Unless you can show me that we know 100 percent that there are drugs on these boats, then I agree with Rand. He's right on this one.

I agree too. Imo that's all anyone needs to do is provide the decision making rationale behind pulling the trigger. Otherwise it sure sounds like they just blow up anything that might be a drug runner and hope they're right.

Just a little more info is all that's needed.

Chicago will be where the first ICE or National Guard person is killed IMO. Then things get really crazy.
Yeah, the question now becomes "What do you do when that happens". I am not really with deploying troops on American streets but... Now is the time when we just might need to in a few cities. Fine lines will be walked. On one hand I am for taking those who wave the flags of other countries that are out on our streets creating chaos and dangerous situations for Americans citizens out of the picture. Be they arrested or if they attack law enforcement, deadly force if necessary. On the other hand, innocent people who are just demonstrating with peaceable intent could get injured or killed because of the evil intent of some others.

I suppose you could say that with the way things have gone in recent years, it is your choice and your own fault if you are injured during this time even though your intentions were non-violent. Use common sense.

Its sick and sad but some on the left want it to happen and want marines in the streets so they can push the dictator narrative. It’s how their twisted minds think.

And for anyone who hasn't watched it yet...



Cringe fest. Talk about someone who presents as privileged, angry, and unstable. I did not know this person before that interview. According to Wikipedia, her “divorce was contentious, and both Hoffman [her ex] and Porter sought help for anger management…. A post-marriage relationship with a live-in boyfriend ended when Porter obtained a restraining order to keep him away from Porter, her home, and her children.” She purchased a price fixed home near the college campus when she taught for about 1/3 the market price and was permitted to keep the house without paying more when she ran for state representative. One other fun fact, she named her daughter after Elizabeth Warren.

He's not even going to bring Kentucky to the Blue side. What makes you think the will have any influence in other States?

We need to consider that cutting funding to Israel MEANS cutting ngo funding. If anyone thinks Israel isn't funding ngos, they just don't want to see it or consider it. We have to consider that they have been funding both sides through them.

I don’t know “Mel” on X. But, the Brown University report dealt with military aid, according to a Google search.
  • Total U.S. military aid: Between October 2023 and September 2025, the U.S. provided Israel with $21.7 billion in military assistance.
    • Wider spending: The report also notes that the U.S. has spent an additional $9.65 to $12.07 billion on military operations in the wider Middle East region related to the conflict, bringing the total spending to an estimated $31.35 to $33.77 billion.

This absolutely should be a nobel prize achievement. No question.

He deserved one last time, but the woke chokehold on all communication convinced people he was too bad to get something he deserved.

It's a worthless, meaningless award. Has been for a long time. If we want him to get trophies we need to create our own "Noble" prize award.

You're right. Our intelligence community has never gotten anything wrong. It's totally cool to blow boats up because they say so and never question them. Don't know what I was thinking.
The question implicitly in your sarcasm is fair. As fair as questioning presidents who purportedly take out terrorists (and others collaterally) with drones and air strikes. We have seen in the past claims of children deaths as a result of those videos showing residents and vehicles blasted. It’s no different.

What ticket? AOC? Newsom?

AOC isn't going to pick Rob Bromley as her VP, and Newsom knows that their half of the country isn't going to welcome two clean cut white males as their choice.

Katie Porter (D) gubernatorial hopeful self-destructs.


She through.
Not so fast my friend. This is Cali. She’ll be bock.

(everyone said Biden was thru in the 80s - we know how he and his family abused us years later)

I don’t think he will be on the ticket. I think he would be in a Dem administration.

One of my few disappointments with the Trump admin is it does appear they aren't mass deporting islamists like that. My guess is they are worried that terror attacks would happen if they do.

Islamists and Chinese drug cartels, chemical geoengineering and big tech surveillance, banks and financial companies' market manipulations... so many things we're not paying attention to while we watch boats getting blown up or staged conflicts at ICE facilities or argue about/focus on Israel's cultivated conflicts. Anyone else tired of it yet?

DOGE must've been theater, because as a party they've refused to act on it. They don't want to fix the budget or the debt, because they only talk about CRs. They could've passed 100 bills to fix America, but haven't done **** for 9m.

This is all of the same BS from the first 2 years of Trump's first term.

Maybe DeSantis was the guy after all. Maybe not. We'll never know now.
