On March 3rd through March 6th 2016, the Republican presidential primary was at the precipice of a key inflection point (Super Tuesday) when a large group of political leadership, tech titans, bankers and political influence agents assembled at the AEI summit in Sea Island, Georgia. Citation Here – Citation Here and Citation HERE (w/itinerary details) In the decade that passed, you have seen me reference this Sea Island group frequently, because the origin of where we are today can only be understood if you followed the outcome of that 2016 Sea Island meeting and the decade of activity therein.

As has always been the case, the blanket problem that fries the giblets of anti-Trumpers on both sides of the aisle is that Donald Trump is not an establishment politician, he is an extremely talented man who is beating them at their own game. The "game" to them is control of the enormous US Treasury and the amount that can be carved out of for future support of campaigns. Policy is secondary to holding power. The sore point for the TDS-afflicted is not so much our support for Israel but our lack of support and enthusiasm for muslims. The same logic should be applied to these relationships is that applied by a single person who dates multiple people, which of them treats you better?

Ongoing Judicial Coup Proves Alito, Thomas
Were Right About Weak SCOTUS Injunction Ruling

Less than five months ago, Associate Justices Samuel Alito and Clarence Thomas warned that the U.S. Supreme Court’s decision in Trump v. CASA, limiting lower courts’ use of nationwide injunctions, failed to address loopholes open to abuse by left-wing activists and judges.(snip)g, the two senior justices have been proven right. (snip Yale Law School Professor E. Garrett West praised the Supreme Court’s CASA decision as “a brilliant vindication of the formalist argument that says universal injunctions are totally impermissible” under America’s constitutional framework. However, he noted, “the bad news is that it practically will make almost no difference with respect to the functional problems created by the universal injunction.”\

President Trump gave an extensive interview to Laura Ingraham, one of the primary advocates for the Ron DeSantis alligator emoji tribe. Ingraham did her best passive aggressive routine, positioning herself to antagonize yet appeal to the base of the DeSantis voter`(snip).There is currently a rather extensive political operation afoot that has been rolling out for the better part of this year. The objective of the coalition is to fracture the MAGA base in a similar fashion to how the Tea Party movement was compromised in 2012.

House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries (D-NY) referred to Dr. Mehmet Oz as a "rando" and slammed the former television doctor as the Senate moves closer to ending the government shutdown.Jeffries was responding to a reporter's question about Affordable Care Act subsidies and Dr. Oz's comments when the Democratic lawmaker responded. "That's like the most random way to start a question on a serious topic. Nobody who's serious in this country takes Dr. Oz seriously. No one. And I mean, it's shocking that the guy even was confirmed, but this is part of the reality of Republicans here in the House and over in the Senate.

The U.S. Supreme Court on Nov. 6 allowed the Trump administration to enforce its policy requiring the sex designation on a U.S. passport to be consistent with the passport holder’s sex at birth. The court’s decision in Trump v. Orr took the form of an unsigned order without comment. Three justices—Ketanji Brown Jackson, Elena Kagan, and Sonia Sotomayor—dissented from the new ruling.

In December of 2016, President Obama turned to Director of National Intelligence James Clapper and CIA Director John Brennan with a request to change the Intelligence Community Assessment (ICA) and blame the Russians for election interference in the prior presidential election. Brennan gave the task of assembling the fraudulent intel to a CIA analyst named Julia Gurganus.Subsequently, inside the CIA the National Intelligence Council (NIC) and the Directorate of Analysis began working on a pretext that would create the impression for the misleading Intelligence Community Assessment (ICA) as demanded by Obama, Clapper and Brennan; ultimately it was constructed by Julia Gurganus.

Democrats won decisive victories in the 2025 elections, including a mayoral win in New York City and governorships in New Jersey and Virginia. Democrats also did well in races at the state and local levels. Despite the victory, their path forward remains no clearer than before, according to some political analysts. That’s because the top Democratic winners presented vastly different governing strategies to voters.

New York City didn’t wake up one morning and elect a foreign Marxist mayor by accident. That didn’t “just happen.” It’s the final act of a political show that’s been running for years. And it wasn’t just the dastardly Dems who helped produce it. None of this could’ve happened without Paul Ryan and Mitch McConnell—the “super polite” Republican leaders who smiled, stalled, and sabotaged Trump’s legal immigration reforms during his first term, at a time when it would’ve mattered most and could have actually changed the course of history.Had the two globalist stooges backed Trump’s plans to cut and control legal immigration, to bring some sanity back to who enters,

New York City elected a communist to be its next mayor on Tuesday. Uganda-born Zohran Mamdani is projected to win more than 50 percent of the Big Apple. Over the next few days, professional Republicans will shake their heads and lament the outcome of the race. But few, if any, will acknowledge the truth: Mamdani’s victory is the direct result of mass immigration. New York City wasn’t lost to a communist because the radical left out-organized the Democrat establishment. New York City was lost to a communist because we lost control of our borders — not just our southern border, but every single border separating the United States from the rest

He will go back to running the private security firm, T&M, which he headed before joining Mayor Eric Adams’ administration, the sources added.

Incredible: Kamala Harris Claims Her 2024
Campaign Was '3D Chess' That Outmaneuvered Trump
34 replies
Posted by Hazymac 11/11/2025 3:19:48 PM Post Reply
Kamala Harris is continuing her push toward yet another run for president, and that's leading to some awkward exchanges. As RedState reported, the failed 2024 Democrat nominee and former vice president is peddling a new book, doing her best to rewrite history in her favor. Part of that requires convincing Americans that she wasn't given a fair shot, both because of Joe Biden's late exit from the race and the dynamics surrounding President Donald Trump. Of course, that's not really the truth, is it? She's going to try, though, and that apparently includes claiming her 2024 campaign was "3D chess" in which she outmaneuvered Trump.

For reasons known only to herself, former First Lady Michelle Obama has been on an extended whinefest the last few months, consistently moaning about her oh-so-awful life as a multi-millionaire and complaining about her past treatment from the press, who in reality treated her like some sort of goddess despite the fact that she is bitter, unsympathetic, and utterly entitled. In one of her recent rants, she went after Trump’s plans to (self-finance) a White House ballroom, which would serve the nation long after he is gone from office. The horror!

Three generations of a Dutch family have been the caretakers of an American soldier’s grave since 1945 — and promise future descendants will do the same. Ernest Francis Fichtl Jr., from the Little Neck neighborhood of Queens, was killed during one of World War II’s bloodiest European battles and is buried at Netherlands American Cemetery and Memorial in Margraten. But until recently, his family back in New York did not know that his grave site is lovingly tended to by his adopted family in the Netherlands. And it’s not the only one. Since the end of the war in Europe in 1945, Margraten residents have honored the sacrifice of

A bloody brawl broke out at a sold-out event for Charlie Kirk’s Turning Point USA at the University of California, Berkeley — with keffiyeh-clad protesters clashing with attendees and cops in disturbing scenes. One man could be seen with blood gushing from his face after getting into a fight with an agitator as the campus event for the group was kicking off late Monday, Fox News reported. Police were spotted pulling the two men apart as anti-Turning Point demonstrators – including some donning keffiyehs – tried to intervene. At least two people had already been arrested, including one for battery, before the event got underway, police said.
The Obamacare secret at the heart of the
shutdown: insurers made billions at taxpayer expense
17 replies
Posted by ConservativeYankee 11/11/2025 7:19:59 AM Post Reply
The 42-day federal shutdown forced by Democrats thrust the economics of Obamacare into the limelight, and exposed an uncomfortable truth: An insurance industry whose executives are increasingly liberal donors has seen its earnings soar with the injection of taxpayer-funded subsidies that propped up Barack Obama's signature health program from collapse. The nation’s largest health insurance companies have seen good business since Obamacare was first passed in 2010 and fully implemented in 2014. This has come in no small part because of federal government subsidies to the insurance industry, which government estimates show totaled $1.8 trillion in 2023 alone.

Kamala Harris is back once again with an extremely interesting new angle on her 2024 election failure. Her memoir "107 Days" was released a couple of months ago, and she is about to wrap up her book tour (one that Democrats aren't too wild about, by the way) with a final stop on November 20. Not too terribly long ago, Harris told Stephen Colbert she was stepping away from politics because the "system is broken" — only to tease a 2028 run at the end of October.

The largest school district in Alaska is facing controversy after the recent revelation it had added a “disclaimer” to the Declaration of Independence and U.S. Constitution. Must Read Alaska reported Saturday that the disclaimer reads “The Anchorage School District does not endorse these materials or the viewpoint expressed in them.” A student in the district discovered the disclaimer and showed her mother, who then posted about it on Facebook. “I was honestly stunned,” the mom wrote. “These aren’t controversial documents, they are the foundation of our country and what our students are supposed to be learning about.

Federal agents in Chicago are facing a nightmare most of us can’t imagine: a violent street gang has literally issued a “shoot-on-sight” order against them. According to Customs and Border Protection (CBP), the Latin Kings have targeted immigration enforcement officers working in the city, leading the agency to warn its teams to use “extreme caution.” Shots were fired. Agents’ vehicles were rammed. Bricks and paint cans were thrown at Border Patrol trucks in the Little Village neighborhood during ongoing immigration operations. This isn’t happening in some failed foreign state. It’s happening on American streets.
