The sentiment I’ve seen that I most agree with is as follows:
Punish bad Republicans in the primary, vote Republican in the general.
Put up better GOP candidates when they fall short of their obligations.
But for the love of God, do not have this country over to Democrats.

Look alike neighbors. The historic Navajo Bridge on the right, now a pedestrian only bridge. On the right the new, wider Navajo Bridge for Rt. 89A traffic over the Colorado River near Marble Canyon.

Over the past few days I have heard a number of very sober, well-reasoned commentators on the political right talking about the midterms and related polling.
They uniformly speak about the House already being a lost cause for the GOP, and they focus on whether the GOP can hold the Senate.
Things do not need to be this way. Trump won in 2024 by large margins. The only reason that cannot be repeated this fall is if YOU—the average Trump voter—decides to let it happen.
I know, I know, I know. Trump has not made all of your hopes and dreams come true in two years’ time. You think he has done nothing, even though he has had profound victory after profound victory in areas like immigration and downsizing the federal government. You have your pet issue that has not been satisfied to the extent you demand, so you want to “Stay home and send them a message.”
Yes the GOP sucks. It’s a heinous mess of self-interest and failed status quo maintenance.
But the only thing worse is the Democrat Party.
We are running against LITERAL COMMUNISTS who want to abolish the Senate, pack the Supreme Court, add two new deep blue states, open the borders to unlimited immigration and succumb to creeping Sharia and jihad in order to literally destroy the nation. (Plus, they will spend the next two years impeaching Trump and everyone in his orbit, fully defeating what you voted for in 2024.)
So you have two choices. It’s a binary choice, there is no third option:
1. Vote for doing everything we can to pursue MAGA even if that’s not perfect.
2. Stay home and become ruled by literal Communists who want you dead.
Choose.
We can still win this fall, we just need the will to do it.
Zeek is correct. Vote!
If you’re angry because your specific candidate didn’t win and now you’re going to sit on your couch on Election Day with your arms folded like a child, I’m just here to let you know you’re actually voting by not voting.
You’re voting for democrat socialism.
You’re voting for open borders.
You’re voting for anti-Americanism.
You’re voting for no police, jails, or tough-on-crime policies.
You’re voting for a weakened military.
You’re voting for Islamic calls to prayer over the loudspeaker.
You’re voting for Sharia Law.
You’re voting for reduced educational standards because “social equity.”
You’re voting for open corruption in our government.
You’re voting for open corruption in our elections.
You’re voting for tyranny.
So if you stay home, you’re just as much an enemy to the United States as these candidates who run on platforms that directly hurt this country. You’re a part of the problem. By not voting, you’re allowing the other side to win. That’s not okay.
Don’t stay home.

RE: Pete Hegseth as SecWar
At this time in American history, Pete Hegseth is the PERFECT person to serve as Secretary of War. I mean that sincerely. I do not know of a living human who is better qualified to serve in that position at this point in American history.
I’ll explain why.
America’s military spent 20+ years engaged in a GWOT battle that, after its first few years, became a political battle where the military was not the right tool in the DIME-FIL* toolbox. “Nation building,” ridiculously restrictive, JAG-inspired rules of engagement, social justice experimentation, Military Transition Teams and Security Forces Advisory and Assistance Teams, and the bastardization of combat arms units away from their mission essential tasks all created a U.S. military that was risk averse to a crippling degree, lacked adequate training and equipment readiness levels for high intensity conflict, had broken morale and poor retention/recruiting, and was more concerned about DEI than closing with and destroying the enemy.
The military that Donald Trump inherited from Joe Biden was a broken shell of the military that entered the GWOT in 2001. It had lost its focus on lethality, valued skin color and genitalia more than warfighting competency, and was not even able to fully recognize its own missions in a world rife with peer competitors bent on high-intensity global or regional domination, such as China and Russia. Yes, low-intensity conflict was still on the menu in places like Yemen, Syria and the battles against narco-terrorists, but a military trained for high intensity conflict can adjust to low intensity conflict quickly, but it does not work so well the other way around.
As Donald Trump took office, what America needed was a Secretary of War who was intimately familiar with these failures; somebody who had fought those GWOT battles and understood our failings deep in his or her soul. Such a person could not be one of the Perfumed Princes who engineered and would repeat our failures (such as Lloyd Austin). Instead it needed to be someone with muddy boots who had experienced the mess we had become at a deeply personal, tactical level.
Moreover, it needed to be someone who understood information operations and the climate of global, instantaneous messaging that is our new day-to-day.
This person did not need to have a comprehensive understanding of military procurement and the military/industrial complex that accompanies Beltway jockeying with Congress and defense contractors—those skills are widely available and could easily be obtained by hiring effective subordinates with the same vision of a military that needed to be once again focused on lethality.
What might that person look like?
Well, he or she should have the following qualifications:
-A military career based in training and skills involving killing the enemy up close and personal in the most efficient manner possible. An Infantryman, if possible. A Combat Infantryman Badge would be double plus good.
-Muddy boots experience leading troops in direct combat in Iraq and/or Afghanistan.
-Deep experience in leading one of the failed coalition training missions in Iraq or Afghanistan.
-Someone who shared the dark personal struggles of every veteran who had come home from our endless wars.
-A final military rank that meant he or she was never a Perfumed Prince and who was never polluted by the Beltway mind virus that seems to infect every soldier, sailor, airmen, Marine or Guardian who pins on a star.
-Deep experience in information operations, such as being a best-selling author on military affairs or being a military expert on a major news network.
Those are the qualifications that were needed to turn America’s military around and restore it to being the premier warfighting force in world history.
One American and one American only had those qualifications: Pete Hegseth.
And that man is doing everything I could have ever hoped for to restore the pride and skill we had lost.
But please realize this: Hegseth is a threat to anyone who prefers the Obama/Biden vision of a social justice military. He is a threat to anyone who thinks R2P** is a core competency for the American military. He is a threat to anyone who thinks enriching the military/industrial complex is more important than winning wars. Basically, he is a threat to anyone who sees the military as a politicized force serving like commissars in the Soviet Army. In other words, Hegseth is a threat to Democrats everywhere.
Which is why it is so very, VERY important that the Democrat/Media Complex smear him in every way imaginable and at every opportunity. When you see and hear the abject lies of the Sedition 6 and their ilk, and when you see and hear wholly fabricated, libelous stories like the "Kill Them All" Hoax, realize why this is happening. These fake news stories are designed to attack and defeat an existential threat to the Leftist vision of a social justice American military.
Like Donald Trump, Pete Hegseth is an existential threat to the Leftist evils that nearly defeated America and the Constitution via Barack Obama and Joe Biden.
And it takes a strong man to withstand the onslaught of the Deep State, with all of its lies, libel and propaganda. Donald Trump is one man who withstood that fire of infamous defamation. Pete Hegseth is another.
We all him our gratitude for the personal cost he is enduring in the name of freedom, and please pray for him.
Thank you for your attention to this matter.

* DIME-FIL = the “elements of national power” under U.S. military doctrine, or: diplomatic, informational, military, economic, financial, intelligence, and law enforcement.
** R2P = “Responsibility to Protect,” i.e. a Leftist, globalist doctrine popularized under the Obama Administration that says the U.S. military has a core mission of protecting foreign populations against the deprivations of their own or neighboring governments or warlords. Although not totally illegitimate, it prioritizes the national interests and lives of foreigners over the national interests of the USA and the lives of American servicemen and servicewomen.

I can't go to a Muslim country and drink beer or wine, or eat bacon or pork BBQ; and my wife isn't allowed to walk around in shorts and a t-shirt in a Muslim-controlled country.
So why in the hell do Muslims think that they should be allowed to tell us that we should change our laws or customs in America
to accommodate them ?
And WHY are Democrats telling Americans we must do that…

I brought this up to my 12P-3P radio show audience about 3 months ago. I warned them to be prepared for a coordinated campaign to demoralize conservative voters. I also warned them that many Republicans in Congress have been actively sabotaging and obstructing President Trump's agenda. The media is absolutely complicit in this scheme. And there are very powerful people with very deep pockets who are doing their best to stop the America First movement. But we cannot and we must not allow the Communists to take over the country. And that exactly what the Democrat Party platform is - a Communist manifesto. But as bad as the Left may be - those who profess to be conservative pundits and talk show hosts are even worse. They use their platforms to foment dissent and confusion. They have literally become megaphones for the Establishment. Many shielded their anti-Trump hatred for the sake of a regular paycheck. But now people are beginning to see them for who they really are. Can the administration do a better job of communicating its message? Absolutely. And that's happening right now with Vice President Vance out on the campaign trail. And our candidates have to be flawless. There's no room for mistakes. Too much is riding on the midterms. But the accomplishments of this administration are beyond extraordinary. President Trump has earned a Republican majority in the Congress. And we owe him a great debt of gratitude -- one that can be repaid on Election Day.

Islam is—according to its own doctrine—a totalitarian political system claiming supremacy over all law, religion, and social structure.
It is seditious against our Republic, by definition.
So any elected official who doesn’t disavow Islam is either conflicted or traitorous.

We’ve gotten way too comfortable treating basic American traditions like they’re something to be embarrassed about.
The Pledge of Allegiance and teaching kids respect for their country shouldn’t be controversial.!
Stop acting like Patriotism is offensive while every other expression gets protected.
America’s kids deserve to know the country, the history, and the freedoms they inherited.

We are not in just another election cycle. We are in a battle for the survival of the Republic and the free world. War has been declared on us. So you can stay home, you can complain - justifiably or not. But if you are still looking at this as another day in the cycle of politics, you have surrendered.

I got a wild idea. How about everyone who voted for Trump in the last election show up on midterm Election Day, send Republicans a filibuster proof majority and we take one last crack at making sweeping changes that could stop the radical left for a generation.
🚨 BREAKING: Patriots Are Fighting Back Against the Islamization of America!
Dearborn just got hit with the lawsuit this city has earned.
@ProfMJCleveland has filed a landmark federal civil rights case against the City of Dearborn and Mayor Abdullah Hammoud for systematically favoring Islam while treating Christians and Jews as second-class citizens and she is asking the court to STOP it.
The complaint says it plainly:
“For too long, the City of Dearborn has been a hostile place for Christians and Jews. Defendant Hammoud has taken this hostility to the next level, openly conveying the message that Christians and Jews are not welcome in the city and are, indeed, second-class citizens.”
Taxpayer banners. Crescent moons on public property. Official Ramadan displays. Police shirts. Mayoral Iftars.
YET - Easter? Passover? A menorah? Nothing.
Christians already took this city to court and WON. And still, as the suit says, “nothing has changed in the City.”
This is not “inclusion.” This is an Islam-first government using public money and public power to tell non-Muslims they do not belong.
Dearborn is the blueprint. The rest of America is next if this is allowed to stand.
See more here: thefederalist.com/2026/09/17…
Islamification of America - Muslims In, Non-Muslims Out!
Dearborn, Michigan - “A city that welcomes everyone”? Not if you’re Christian or Jewish.
Islamic Mayor Abdullah Hammoud told a Christian minister he’s “not welcome here” and would throw a parade if he left - for questioning a street sign honoring a supporter of Hamas and Hezbollah.
Taxpayer money funds Ramadan banners, crescent moons, official police/fire Ramadan shirts, and mayoral Iftars.
Yet Easter, Passover, and a menorah? Ignored.
When journalist Margot Cleveland asked the City Council to pass a resolution using their budget surplus for equal holiday banners, they gave her 30 seconds, cut her off, and closed public comments.
The Constitution doesn’t allow the government to prefer Islam over Christianity, Judaism, or any other faith.
Dearborn’s leaders can’t claim “inclusion” while treating Christians and Jews as second-class citizens in their own city.
This preference matters because Islamic doctrine itself does not teach equal love or respect for non-Muslims. There is no verse in the Quran where Muhammad commands Muslims to love people of other religions.
By contrast, there are dozens of verses commanding struggle/fighting against unbelievers, and nearly 500 verses describing their eternal torment in Hell - scattered across 87 of the Quran’s 114 chapters.
Examples:
Quran 9:73 & 66:9 - Strive hard against unbelievers and hypocrites and be stern with them. Hell is their home.
Quran 8:55 - The vilest of animals in Allah’s sight are those who disbelieve.
Quran 4:56 - Those who disbelieve, We shall expose them to the Fire... As often as their skins are consumed, We shall exchange them for fresh skins so they may taste the torment.
Quran 40:71-72, 22:19-21 - Vivid descriptions of boiling water, hooked rods of iron, and melting skins for disbelievers.
Hadith reinforce this: Allah’s curse on Jews and Christians (Bukhari 59:727 - one of Muhammad’s last statements), and non-Muslims in Hell are given thick skin to prolong agony.
This theological framework - where unbelievers are seen as fuel for Hell and the vilest creatures - helps explain why “equality” feels optional in a city with a dominant Islamic influence.
Pass the resolution. Fund the banners. Prove “inclusion” is real - not just a slogan for one group.
