When a figurehead abandons a movement, those who follow the figurehead instead of the ideals that propelled him in the first place is in a cult of personality, and nothing more.

Actually, property taxes are bullshit. Home purchase sales tax should be upfront and rolled into the loan or paid upfront. A set percentage, paid once, and never collected again.
Charging a homeowner who’s owned for 30 years is obscene and unreasonable taxation.

Part 2, and my last post about my Shawn Ryan Show episode.
Last I heard, it had been edited. Then Shawn went on Diary of a CEO and described a woman whose interview he’d never release. That woman wasn’t me, unless he was lying.
But I never expected it to air, and here’s why:
I spent weeks prepping with Shawn’s team. I was booked to follow the money on TPUSA and the surveillance state, and naming names is what I do. I’m meticulous, and I never say anything I can’t prove. Then, right before we started filming, I was told I couldn’t name names. When I brought up who funds Flock Safety, the license plate cameras now in thousands of American towns, I was told not to say Andreessen Horowitz or Peter Thiel. You can’t follow the money without showing where the money flows. That’s when I realized this episode would never air, before we had even started.
So when I got home, I did what I do. I followed the money. And, turns out Shawn Ryan is invested in companies backed by the exact people I was told not to name, plus Israel.
(1) Anduril Industries: Ryan has been an investor since October 2025. Anduril started with surveillance towers and now builds drones and autonomous weapons. Peter Thiel’s Founders Fund led its June 2025 round, and Andreessen Horowitz co-led its $5 billion round in May 2026. Those are the two names I was told to leave out. In February 2026, Anduril’s founder, Palmer Luckey, made an undisclosed trip to Israel and met with Netanyahu and senior defense officials. By June, Anduril was setting up an Israel operation to sell to Israel’s Ministry of Defense. Shawn had Palmer on his show in February 2025 and invested eight months later.
(2) Shield AI: Ryan has been an investor since November 2025. It builds AI-piloted drones and fighter jets. Andreessen Horowitz led its first major round and has kept investing ever since. Shawn had its co-founder on the show the same season he invested.
(3) Sesh: Ryan has been an investor since August 2025. Its $40 million round was led by 8VC, the venture firm of Joe Lonsdale, who co-founded Palantir with Peter Thiel. Lonsdale was a guest on Shawn’s show on May 7, 2026, less than three months before I taped. Palantir signed a strategic partnership with Israel’s Ministry of Defense in 2024.
And Flock Safety, the company I came to talk about, is backed by Andreessen Horowitz, which led two of its rounds, and by Founders Fund, Peter Thiel’s fund.
So I was booked to expose who funds the surveillance state. I was told not to name Andreessen Horowitz or Peter Thiel. And the host has money in companies backed by Andreessen Horowitz, by Thiel’s fund, and by Thiel’s Palantir co-founder, including one that is building its business in Israel.
Then there’s the rest of it. Sarah Adams, his former network host, was messaging his team to keep me off (see Part 1 if you missed it). An IDF settlement contractor tagged the two of them together. Pro-Israel groups passed around her clip from his show as proof that Israel didn’t drive the war. And after his Diary of a CEO interview, accounts from the same network that spent the summer smearing me told everyone his “CIA woman” was me, citing “sources.” It wasn’t me. I never discussed a polygraph with Shawn Ryan, and it was never why I went on. So either he was talking about someone else, or somebody turned his story into a weapon against me.
Honestly, I don’t want the episode to air, and I told them so right after we taped, because it was a watered-down version of my work. How it all happened was a tough lesson learned for me in this industry. Now you know what was going on behind the scenes. If this episode doesn’t air, I can assure you it’s not because I’m a fraud. It’s because I won’t water down who funds the surveillance state, and I won’t sell out to protect anyone’s investments.
So there you have it.

🚨BREAKING Exclusive🚨 - Never-before-seen Capitol CCTV video reveals that Brian Cole Jr. could not have been the J6 pipe b*mber. He is seen walking on the northwest side of the Capitol at EXACTLY THE SAME TIME as the real suspect was distributing devices on the southeast side of the Capitol. More information in the thread below. 🧵⬇️
**Video work by @accabbat (Armitas)**
The video in the first comment below shows me and @KyleSeraphin breaking down and explaining exactly what you're seeing in this short video.
With elections in 2 weeks and things looking dire for GOP congressional races across the country, the actions we were begging the Admin to take for the past 2 years are suddenly being dangled in front of us.
What does that tell you?
🚨 JUST IN: Border Czar Tom Homan announces there is a plan sitting at DHS waiting to be implemented that will carry out WORKSITE ENFORCEMENT operations against companies employing illegal aliens
"That enforcement plan is sitting there. I hope they take action on it soon! Worksite enforcement sends a CLEAR MESSAGE. If you can't get a job, YOU'RE NOT GONNA COME."
Based 🔥
"No one's pushing worksite enforcement more than ME. I've done it. It's effective."
Joey Jones nails it: We don't want sob stories that businesses will "suffer" because of no more illegal labor
ICE keeps cracking records and EVEN MORE will be broken when worksite enforcement unleashes!
We already saw a preview with the Hyundai battery plant raid in Georgia: 475 illegal workers were arrested in DHS's largest single-site operation ever
GO INTO THE COMPANIES. Scare the illegals out of the country! Once they see it happening regularly, they could flee!

“Let me die,” American photojournalist Heidi Levine repeats to journalists Jasper Nathaniel as they try to outrun masked Israeli settlers who attacked her on Friday while she covered the olive harvest in the West Bank village of Abu Falah, near Ramallah.
Around 80 settlers attacked Palestinian olive harvesters in the village, AP reported. The Palestinian Red Crescent said it treated six people injured in two attacks in Abu Falah.
Levine, a freelancer for the Washington Post, told the Committee to Protect Journalists that the settlers knocked her down and kicked her for at least 10 minutes, even after she identified herself as an American journalist. They stole her camera, phone and bag. She was eventually taken to a hospital in Ramallah.
"The IDF provided cover, with tear gas and machine guns, while the settlers beat" Levine "nearly to death," Nathaniel wrote, adding that soldiers then shot a Palestinian bystander and aimed their guns at and shoved paramedics trying to treat him. AP photos and circulating videos show Israeli soldiers standing over a wounded Palestinian man after they shot him.
Andrey X, an activist also at the scene, said a Palestinian man "saved our lives from the settler-terrorists who attacked the olive harvesters and journalists” armed only with a slingshot.

GAETZ: Trump built a durable coalition that would have ruled for 25 years. No other Republican could have done it.
Then we did a regime change war in the Middle East 😔

This is a standard crowd banter from Papa Het, he says roughly the same thing at every show.
It boils down to, leave the world's troubles outside and let's rock.
Simple.
I didn’t know accounts like this - shockingly, no signs of being a parody - still existed. Every cliche, checked off.
It begs a question: what changed among our corporate leadership culture that made short-term profit seeking the sole incentive of a public company?
Is it the changes in compensation package structure for executives? They want a bonus every year, and they’ll sacrifice the entire long-term product reputation to get it?
Is this Hedge Fund activism, short-term major stock buyers exerting pressure on companies to boost short-term profits so they can exit at higher margins?
The key to solving the enshittification of commercial products and services lies in this question, I think, so it’s really worth discussing among the populist right, if we hope to offer meaningful solutions to voters’ ires, in the future.

If you’re like me you probably wanna make sense of this in a way you can understand. We had a situation on my jobsite which was pretty much the same, lemme explain:
When we needed someone to take over the concrete mixer a while back, Tommy STEPPED UP even though he had ZERO experience operating it.
Rick said he wasn’t qualified. I said hell, neither was the FIRST GUY TO EVER MIX CONCRETE.
Well six minutes later we had 400 pounds of concrete in the parking lot and Tommy’s steel-toed work boot was permanently attached to a wheelbarrow. We never let him touch the mixer again, or any other machinery for that matter.
But he showed LEADERSHIP and LOYALTY.
THAT’S why Katie Zacharia is going to be an OUTSTANDING Press Secretary.

Two things can be true at once:
-Shane Gillis really wasn’t that funny on SNL, he thought being transgressive was the same as being clever, and it wasn’t.
- If your outrage at his set was that it was “offensive,” you and your reaction are the exact reason he gets away with substituting transgression for cleverness and selling out stadiums, anyway.
Yep. The Nothening continues!
Ilhan Omar's house got raided 22 days before midterm elections in an attempt, I'm sure, for the GOP to "prove" they're holding people accountable.
The problem is we've seen this before then we watched as nothing happened.
Exposure without accountability is just gloating.
I hope I'm wrong but I doubt I am. She's still out here posting 😅
This whole charade ultimately makes two important points at once:
- Republicans are so desperate to stop the November bleeding that they’re now blatantly trying to bribe you to vote for them
- Democrats now have to explain why promising free handouts to voters is bad
Readers added context they thought people might want to know
Important context needed: Trump previously promised 2 dividends and never followed through.
In early 2025, Trump publicly backed a roughly $5,000 “DOGE dividend”
In November 2025, he promised a $2,000 “tariff dividend”

During my time in Congress, I have received several whistleblower disclosures. The goal of the whistleblower can include: statutory protection for himself, public dissemination of information, or guidance for congressional oversight.
My term ends soon if you’re contemplating it.
Everyone was screaming this at you guys in March, and you just wouldn’t listen.
What was that you called us? “Panican”?
The Iran War is increasingly looking like a massive political miscalculation.
Most Americans don't understand or care about foreign policy. But they do feel the weight of soaring gas prices and higher costs for basic necessities.
The Trump administration has accomplished remarkable things in less than two years, but its political capital and attention should’ve been focused fully on domestic issues for the first 2 years.
Now Republicans risk paying the price in November, potentially losing both the House and Senate to Democrats, who will spend the next two years obstructing Trump’s remaining legislative agenda.
Incredible to see 👀
I ran FoxNews.com for a decade, and this pains me to write.
Kimberly Guilfoyle, former Fox employee and (as of today) ambassador to Greece, is in the midst of a serious scandal. If true, she faces not only the likelihood of removal -- something she herself acknowledged -- but also the distinct possibility of prison.
Fox has 0 reporting online about this.
The most recent article at Fox mentioning her is dated December 10, 2024 ... the day Trump announced her nomination as ambassador.
Fox's sister company -- the WSJ -- has done a great job leading the reporting on this. The allegations are substantive, sourced, and paint a picture of a U.S. diplomat wallowing like a pig in a trough.
The network has served America well, and I have defended it against hyperbolic charges for nearly 30 years.
And to be clear, this isn't a simple "mistake" by Fox. It's not a biased headline or muddled article.
It's a conscious choice to ignore a major story that has been reported worldwide by every major news outlet. President Trump has spoken about it, as has VP Vance and Marco Rubio.
It's journalistic malpractice.
I don't have knowledge of the details of Fox's action, yet I doubt that there's been an order from up top to ignore it. I suspect it's instead a product of fear and inaction by middle management. Whatever the reason, though, it's an increasing pattern I've seen at the network.
To those of you at Fox with any power -- from Lachlan on down -- know that things like this only harm the company's reputation. Not among your enemies, who will hate you no matter what, but among your supporters, like me, who get pained when the hyperbolic attacks turn out to be true.

The President is again 100% right on this. As a matter of fact I was eating breakfast at Denny’s this morning when an elderly man at the next table said “artificial intelligence.”
Three construction workers immediately stood up angrily. One of them said “Sir I would be very careful with what you’re saying right now.”
His wife looked nervous.
I walked over, motioned for the tradesmen to calm down and return to their seats, and quietly explained the new terminology.
It’s SUPER INTELLIGENCE now, brother.
Really no excuse not to know that. But I let it slide. THIS TIME.
He shook my hand and thanked me for not reporting him for TREASON.
The waitress comped my Grand Slam.
