A Europa será destruída por mulheres que projetam naqueles animais a maternidade que cabia aos filhos que elas abortaram.
You are an elected official. You made a public statement encouraging members of the Armed Forces to defy lawful orders.
You chose to run for office and subject yourself to that scrutiny.
What you are proposing, on the other hand, is a legal/political vendetta against persons for no reason other than they have political positions different than yours. Your goal is to drive them away from public service.
That's a Stanlist/Maoist approach to political opposition -- your clearly stated desire is to create a one-party state where political opposition is not just to be rebutted, but to be imprisoned.
You're a disgrace -- and I suspect your comments will haunt the rest of your political career. You've likely put a ceiling on any ability you might have had to climb higher.

NEW: The House Judiciary Committee has just released the results of its investigation into sanctuary policies in Fairfax County, VA via an interim staff report that makes the following conclusions:
- Fairfax County, VA ignored at least 1,670 ICE detainers between 2023-2025, releasing criminal illegal aliens back into the community instead.
-Fairfax County Commonwealth Attorney Steve Descano treats illegal alien defendants differently than similarly situated American citizens, and he refused to prosecute or significantly reduced charges for criminal illegal aliens in order to shield them from deportation/immigration consequences.
- The committee says in a preliminary review of more than 1,100 criminal cases, they’ve identified more than 100 previously unreported criminal aliens who benefited from Descano’s prosecutorial choices, which includes Descano’s decision to almost never pursue certain cases against illegal aliens, including DUIs, felony drug possession, felony grand larceny, shoplifting, fraud, trespassing, destruction of property, and assault of a law enforcement officer.
- The committee lists some examples of the criminal aliens they say Descano shielded with his policies in the cases he did prosecute, including an illegal alien charged w/ felony child rape/carnal knowledge of a child who had his charges dropped to misdemeanor “consensual sex with a child” and he was offered a 90 day suspended jail sentence.
- The committee says Descano dropped more than 50 charges against a serial fraudster from China and allowed multiple illegal aliens charged w/ malicious wounding, strangulation, and assault and battery to “escape accountability and reoffend.”
- The committee alleges that Descano misled Congress by telling them one thing during his Congressional testimony, but telling them another in a private letter after that testimony. Per the report, Descano said during his May 2026 testimony before the committee that his policies are meant to shield green card holders/legal immigrants from deportation, but in a subsequent letter to the committee in September 2026, Descano admitted that his policies may also shield illegal immigrants from deportation.

To everyone who came to criticize my posts yesterday and kept bringing up Hiroshima and Nagasaki:
No, we have not forgotten.
Hiroshima is not forgotten. Nagasaki is not forgotten. The lives lost there are part of Japan’s history, and the scars remain in our collective memory.
Yes, Japan’s postwar history is complicated. Yes, the occupation deserves discussion. And yes, Japan still has serious problems with sexual harassment and groping. I am not pretending otherwise.
But remembering history does not mean living as a prisoner of it.
I do not teach my children to hate Americans because of what happened 80 years ago. I do not ask students, travelers, or friends to carry the anger of previous generations.
Japan was wounded deeply. We rebuilt our cities, carried our losses, and moved forward.
And part of that complicated history is the relationship Japan has built with America since the war.
Hiroshima and Nagasaki should never be used as weapons against Japanese people. They are memories of suffering, and warnings to the entire world.
Remembering the dead is not the same as turning their deaths into fuel for hatred.
We remember.
We grieve.
And we choose to move forward.

This is not even real… a group of retired admirals, ex-USAID bureaucrats and professional protest organizers got caught on their own recordings working out the conditions under which they get to declare the government of the United States illegitimate, and somehow we are supposed to believe they are the ones protecting democracy.
Here is what @DataRepublican put out in Part 2 of the Democracy Files. The videos come from a group called Renew to Thrive, with Danielle Reiff and Paul Zeitz in key roles, and it sits inside a much bigger umbrella called the United Democracy Alliance, which she describes as the hush-hush control room for groups like 50501 and Indivisible, deciding when protests get deployed, the timelines and how to respond. National Security Leaders for America, 1,600 former military, intelligence and diplomatic officials led by retired Rear Admiral Michael E. Smith, is credited with operationalizing the whole thing. On tape they lay out a list of "redlines," and invoking the Insurrection Act against "peaceful" protesters is one of the most discussed… and as she lays it out, they shopped the idea around to governors who don't even have to sign anything, all a governor has to do is refuse federal troops and let the network do the rest.
Make no mistake about who Mike Smith is. His own organization's bio says he founded and led National Security Leaders for Biden, more than 1,100 members with an endorsement letter signed by 780 of them, and now he runs a "non partisan" group that just cares so deeply about the oath. But hey… I am sure it is totally nonpartisan this time.
And the very same morning the Washington Post runs a story about a small group of current and former Defense Department officials quietly advising governors, election officials and lawmakers in 10 states on how to prepare for the Trump administration "interfering" in the midterms, rehearsing what to do if a federal agent asks for access to ballots or machines. Different names, same message… the elected federal government is the threat, and the people who run the elections are the ones who need protecting from it.
Let me put it to you like this. They are building the excuse before the event even happens. They coordinate the protests, they decide in advance which government response crosses their line, and then they hold that response up as proof the whole government is illegitimate and the governors should take over. How exactly is that defending the Constitution? If a room full of retired conservative officers got caught on tape role playing how to declare a Democrat president illegitimate, the FBI would be knocking on doors before the coffee got cold and every network in the country would run it wall to wall.
I am angry about this, and I think most of you are not angry enough. These people swore an oath to the Constitution, not to a party, and they are treating the legitimacy of an elected government like a privilege they get to revoke the minute the voters pick somebody they don't like. As DataRepublican puts it, almost any effective pushback against their NGOs counts as illegitimate in their book. Where is the outrage from the people who spent five years lecturing you about threats to democracy?
Admiral Smith, Ms. Reiff, Dr. Zeitz… release every recording in full and explain to the American people, under oath, exactly what you were planning for the day after.
🚨🚨THE DEMOCRACY FILES, PART 2: WHEN AND HOW TO DECLARE THE FEDERAL GOVERNMENT ILLEGITIMATE 🚨
Some questioned whether a group of 200 ex-USAID officials could actually pull off their ambitions to rewrite the Constitution.
Here, they describe exactly how it works. They aren't working alone.
The videos all come from Renew to Thrive (R2T) group and associates. Danielle Reiff and Paul Zeitz play key roles within R2T.
R2T sits inside a much, much larger umbrella called United Democracy Alliance (UDA), which is an extremely hush-hush control plane of leaders from major "blocking" NGOs such as 50501 and Indivisible fulfilling various functions. UDA decides when protests get deployed, timelines, how to respond, all that.
R2T's role within UDA is concerned with "the day after tomorrow" - in other words, their function is to conceive what a rewritten American government will look like after the rest of UDA fulfills its purpose. As will be shown, Erica Chenoworth is credited with conceiving UDA in the first place under the Horizons "Big Tent" initiative.
Note here that National Security Leaders for America (NSL4A) is credited for operationalizing UDA. NSL4A is a group of 1,600 ex-military, intelligence, and diplomatic officials. They are led by Rear Admiral Michael E. Smith (Ret). NSL4A also played a key role in the "illegal orders" messaging which targeted Pete Hegseth. Zeitz is also a member of NSL4A.
It must be emphasized that the choice of a military-oriented organization to coordinate NGOs across domestic protests is an interesting one all in itself - especially in an umbrella conceived by a regime change expert like Chenoworth.
You will have a hard time finding any mentions of UDA in the public. They are extremely hush-hush and selective who they talk to.
Mike Smith himself makes a personal appearance in other calls, coordinating Insurrection Act exercises and roleplaying with R2G as one of the participants.
As the audio transcript shows, they have outlined a sequence of "redlines" in which case the federal government should be declared illegitimate. Invoking the Insurrection Act against "peaceful" protesters is one of the most discussed redlines. I will post the illegitimate criteria below, but basically, almost any effective pushback against NGOs is a measure of illegitimacy according to them.
Important to understand:
The audio shows they shopped this idea around governors, but the reality is that governors do not have to explicitly sign on to the pact to play their role in the coup. All they have to do is refuse troops in their state and let UDA / R2G do the work of dissolving the federal government.
Thank you @DataRepublican

Government cannot solve problems because, a majority of the time, it is the problem.

There are ads running in Ohio right now calling John Husted a pedophile and accusing him of being part of the Epstein class, funded by Democrats.
My mom says these ads have been running EVERY DAY for the past couple of months.
But that’s okay, right? The Republican outrage over the Amy Acton ad is pathetic and shows just how WEAK some of you are.
Get a grip. Politics isn’t for the faint of heart.

At first, I was shocked to learn Texas was importing English Teachers from India, but what I’ve just learned is even worse.
TEXAS TAXPAYERS ARE PAYING MILLIONS TO AN EDUCATION COMPANY DEVELOPING AMERICAN SCHOOL CURRICULUM IN INDIA.
And the deeper I dig, the worse this looks.
Imagine Learning says it serves 18 MILLION students, 38,000+ U.S. schools and HALF of all American school districts.
I’ve identified more than $7.7 MILLION in Texas district contracts, purchasing authorizations and payment records.
Imagine Learning is recruiting workers in Bengaluru to develop American K–12 curriculum.
Not just software engineers, not customer support but CURRICULUM ARCHITECTS, INSTRUCTIONAL DESIGNERS, ENGLISH LANGUAGE ARTS MANAGERS.
People in India are developing American K–12 reading lessons, writing assignments, literature questions, essay prompts, assessments and materials “aligned with U.S. state education standards.”
They’re even recruiting managers to oversee curriculum design decisions and AI-assisted lesson development.
We’re talking about the actual educational content being created for American children and this goes FAR beyond one office.
INFOSYS publicly announced TWO AI-first delivery centers for Imagine Learning in Chandigarh and Pune, supporting product engineering, business systems and operations.
Straive LearningMate also names Imagine Learning as a client for AI-assisted curriculum production, including assessments and content transformation. Its executives describe a relationship spanning more than a decade and the INDIAN GOVERNMENT is celebrating the expansion.
Karnataka’s government technology department publicly promoted Imagine Learning’s Bengaluru operation, highlighting AI, data science, engineering and product development.
Imagine Learning India executive Ravi Shanker also reported attending a Karnataka government-hosted industry meeting with senior political leadership.
But wait, there’s more - look at what Imagine Learning markets to TEXAS schools:
7TH GRADE TEXAS HISTORY.
8TH GRADE U.S. HISTORY.
AMERICAN GOVERNMENT.
U.S. HISTORY SINCE 1877.
ENGLISH LANGUAGE ARTS.
A Houston charter school’s Texas Education Agency grant application specifically identified Imagine Learning for seventh-grade Texas History and eighth- and eleventh-grade U.S. History.
We’re talking about lessons addressing Texas independence, annexation, the Constitution and the history of our country.
WHO is writing those lessons? WHERE are they being developed? Who has final editorial authority?
AND THEN THERE’S THE CHILDREN’S DATA.
Imagine Learning’s privacy policy says its platforms can collect student names, assessments, writing samples, audio recordings, demographic information, and sensitive indicators including IEP status, foster care and homelessness.
The company says personal information is stored and processed in the United States, but it’s also hiring platform and data engineers in India.
Can employees or contractors overseas remotely access identifiable student records? Do Infosys or LearningMate personnel have access? What do the Texas contracts actually permit?
We have outsourced American jobs, technology and entire industries. Now companies are building offshore operations around the development of lessons for American children - financed by American taxpayers.
TEXAS NEEDS A FULL AUDIT OF IMAGINE LEARNING.
Every taxpayer dollar, every offshore contractor, every curriculum author, every AI workflow and every very permission to access student data.
American parents deserve to know who writes their children’s lessons and who can see their records.
How many of you knew OUR children’s curriculum is being developed in India?
I think I need to keep pulling this thread.

Carney and the liberals are signing Canadian taxpayers up for Generational Debt, your grandkids will still be paying the EU trading bloc billions annually to withdraw, the UK is still paying for Brexit.
Once Canada becomes an Associate member of the EU, if it decides to withdraw from the EU trading bloc which it pays approximately six billion annually for membership fees there is an exit fee.
The financial settlement for the United Kingdom's exit was ultimately estimated by HM Treasury to be around £30.2 billion to £42.5 billion paid out gradually over several decades.
While direct budgetary payments to the EU budget ended, the UK continues to pay an ongoing "cost of Brexit" in the form of reduced trade, lower gross domestic product (estimated by economists at roughly a 6% hit to the economy), increased customs paperwork and overheads, and lost tax revenues.
If the UK ever reverses course and attempts to rejoin the European Union, independent estimates from think tanks like the Bow Group project that annual gross contributions could range from £28 billion to £41 billion per year.
The EU Associate membership is nothing more than a trap for Canadian Taxpayers.
Carney is a trojan horse for the EU and the evil Ursula von der Leyen regime.

🚨 NEW: Inside the Neocons’ Secret Plan to Take the Republican Party Back.
A Republican organizing network backed by liberal foundation money held private meetings where participants discussed how to “retake the local party apparatus.”
A former Soros foundation grantmaker helped advise the effort.
The target was local Republican organizations. Their own report records one participant’s assessment that parties were:
“strong enough to still matter, but weak enough to be taken over.”
Participants in Kansas and Kentucky had already begun developing plans to rebuild local parties.
Johns Hopkins’ SNF Agora Institute and the R Street Institute organized the meetings: private dinners followed by full-day, off-the-record sessions. Rules prevented participants’ statements from being attributed to them individually.
Johns Hopkins named Brad Raffensperger among the project’s architects.
The funding includes:
• $1.85 MILLION from Hewlett for the Civic Right project.
• $500,000 from Carnegie for the Conservative Agenda for Democracy program.
These foundations’ support for conservative organizing fits a broader shift by liberal donors toward funding groups on the right.
The Soros connection: adviser Mark de la Iglesia previously awarded grants at George Soros’s Open Society Foundations. He also served in the Obama administration. Freedom House confirms his advisory role in this specific initiative.
By 2026, organizers reported Signal networks connecting statewide election officials and staff. Their next steps included state-by-state strategies and recruiting and preparing future candidates and public officials.
The same report explains that participants feared publicly confronting the administration could cost them seats and credibility.
Its wording:
“The challenge is to take effective action while not drawing unwanted attention.”
Elbows up...and dig into those taxpayer pockets!
Estimate of 6.3 billion annually for Canada's EU Associate membership.
Carney and the liberals are making Canadian taxpayers EU taxpayers.
Financial analysts and policy observers have modeled a potential total cost based on Norway’s framework. Norway pays roughly €869 million annually for its access to European Economic Area (EEA) cooperation and programs. Because Canada's economy is roughly 4.5 times larger than Norway's, a comparable baseline for wide-scale program integration would translate to nearly €4 billion (approx. C$6.3 billion) annually.
There is no annual fee required for Canada to participate in the Canada-United States-Mexico Agreement (CUSMA)

Liar: this is what she said last weekend to students at the University of Chicago.
PANTS ON FIRE: Democrat Elissa Slotkin says @BasedMikeLee is engaged in “his specialty” of “manufactured outrage,” arguing she has not and will never call for mass prosecutions of Trump or MAGA staffers in the federal government, but they would be WISE to disobey what the President asks them to do....
“Well, look, that’s manufactured outrage. That’s his specialty. I think the — the thing that I’ve heard from my own Republican colleagues and peers, including like interns and folks who work around the Hill who come to our events, they’ll tell you, like I, you know, I was worried. My parents were worried. You know, it’s really messy. I’m not sure what to get involved in. Politics in general has become messy. But, you know, when you’re being forced by this administration, for instance, to sign a contract that is given over to a company that Trump Jr. is on the board of, and you know that that’s a problem. Like, my point is, do not get yourself involved in illegal activity. It’s the same thing I was talking about a year ago. Whether you’re the uniformed military or a civilian in government, if you’re being asked to do something by the President or his team that’s illegal, you have a responsibility to reject that. That is my point, and that was the point I was trying to make.”
