Monday Alberta votes on whether to start the process of leaving Canada. MAGA voices are already talking 51st state and the only thing they keep mentioning is the oil. Real grievances fuel the pitch. The playbook looks a lot like 2016. Full piece: holdmylatte.substack.com/p/a… #AlbertaReferendum #Alberta #Canada #Oil #51stState #Brexit #MAGA #ElbowsUp #Carney

Psst, DNC… Before you spend another dollar. A lifelong Democrat’s urgent memo to the party, candidates, and anyone who wants a seat in 2026: stop flinching in the fourth quarter. The RNC is sitting on $130 million. We’re in debt. Rent a resort, bring in Michael Steele (the guy who delivered the 2010 wave that locked in GOP maps), Liz Cheney, George Conway, and the rest of the Never Trumpers who actually know how to fight. Read the books. Learn the ground game. Fix the maps. Do the work before the money’s gone and the midterms are over. We don’t lose because we’re wrong on the issues. We lose because we flinch.

The Zaporizhzhia nuclear station is constantly losing power to the cooling system and russians are flying explosive drones from the roof. The war in Ukraine affects the entire planet because russian aggression doesn’t stop at the borders here

Disagree! IRGC are finally finding legitimacy in the world. There are others who want this war to continue. If they did want to attack they would do it here on US soil! @Mpolymer

“It’s a way for the Russian intelligence service to show that people are being monitored, a way to create confusion or concerns.” — Ben Zyskowicz, The Telegraph, October 5, 2026

This is not a foreign-policy argument. It is about who gets to run. In the 2023–24 cycle, AIPAC and its affiliated super PACs spent nearly $127 million on federal races, the largest single-issue spend in the country. About 65 percent of Congress took the money. In this cycle that spending moved into state, county, and city races. The method is a primary. Step out of line on Israeli government policy and a challenger no one has heard of shows up early, with sharp money, before the incumbent can answer. Even the ones who survive get the message: silence is safer. The people these networks claim to speak for do not agree with them. Younger Jewish Americans are split on Gaza. The evangelical vote is the mass. The donor class is the early financing. Voters show up last. Mechanisms of War: theology, money, politics, and the leaders who need the crisis. holdmylatte.substack.com/p/i…

There is no perfect side in the Middle East. There are good and bad people on every side. The two men who went furthest toward peace, Sadat and Rabin, were both killed by their own. Seven months of work, timed to the Nova anniversary and what is happening in Gaza, Lebanon, and the West Bank. holdmylatte.substack.com/p/m…
