🚨MAGA VS. "AMERICA FIRST"
This explains the reason I will continue to identify as MAGA, not "America First."
Did you know there has already been an America First political party?
THE "AMERICA FIRST" FLAWED IDEOLOGY
“America First” isolationists, Christian Nationalists, and non-interventionists have repeatedly sold retreat as strength—and it has repeatedly strengthened America’s adversaries.
The 1940 America First Committee’s rigid non-interventionism delayed U.S. rearmament and aid while Nazi Germany and Imperial Japan consolidated power, conquered territory, and built the industrial base for total war. Lindbergh and company treated Hitler’s expansion as Europe’s problem until Pearl Harbor made denial impossible. That delay cost lives and treasure that earlier, more decisive action could have limited.
It stayed fringe, dissolved quickly, and left no lasting political force—because pure religious nationalism and withdrawal don’t govern a superpower in a competitive world.
These strains prioritize doctrinal purity or domestic purity tests over the hard reality that American security and prosperity have long depended on preventing hostile powers from dominating key regions. History shows the cost of that miscalculation lands on Americans.

Side-eyeing Tucker for jumping on his evil grift, LOL.
🤖 Made with AI
Fuentes pushed this evil ideology before this evil ideology became seeded by the Left and Islamic Nations online and thus more popular and a way for Narcissistic amoral podcasters to grow audiences. He's like the kid in middle school who gets mad when lots of tasteless people become fans of his favorite niche and lame band. LOL.
Wait….
Is this a confession by Nick Fuentes or an effort to pass the hot potato?
Maybe he should start naming names? 🤣
As if we do not already know who was in the whole network of those supposed “conservatives” who joined with the Crazies on the radical left. And now, they want to act like they are the “New Right” and push their pick for 2028 Presidency. 🤣
Fuentes admits all the things we’ve been saying:
1) Being Anti-Israel and then Anti-Jew became really popular in 2025 after the historic win by the right in 2024.
2) This virus, targeting the right, was being seeded online by the Left and by Foreign Countries (specifically by Muslim
Countries).
3) Grifters jumped onto it and grew their accounts by spewing anti-Israel and anti-Jewish garbage
4) The anti-Israel and anti-Jewish garbage had to mutate and get more extreme, as it became more popular. Like any drug addiction.

The Welfare-Immigration Collision:
Why Doing Both at Once Breaks the System
For decades, wealthy democracies promised they could combine generous social safety nets with wide-open immigration.
Today, that model is hitting a hard wall.
In nations like Sweden, Canada, Germany, and the Netherlands, rapid population growth has collided with finite public resources. Universal healthcare systems face record wait times. Housing construction cannot keep pace with demand, pricing out citizens and newcomers alike.
Meanwhile, when high numbers of arrivals struggle to enter the workforce quickly, municipal budgets buckle under the cost of prolonged public support.
The math is unforgiving: universal benefits rely on high taxes and high employment, while rapid, large-scale intake strains infrastructure before new tax revenues materialize.
Forced to choose, these governments are now slashing immigration caps and restricting welfare access to save their safety nets from collapse.
A Warning for America
As the United States debates expanding social programs alongside major immigration inflows, the lesson from abroad is clear: you cannot scale both indefinitely without breaking your infrastructure. Before promising broader public benefits, American policymakers must first align immigration levels with housing supply, workforce readiness, and fiscal reality—or risk importing the exact same crisis.
Democrats ran on “Affordability” ?
John Kerry is in Turkey acting like it was a “Climate Change Referendum”?
Gas prices are falling, right after the election, while nothing has changed in Iran?

Additional notes:
Many other dual citizens have served in cabinets, parliament, security, and diplomatic posts across administrations since the transitional period. In the 2016/2017 presidential race, multiple candidates held US (or other foreign) citizenship. Hussein Mohammed Farah (Aidid’s son), a US Marine Reserves corporal from the Los Angeles area, was selected as president by elders in 1996 during the civil war period. Somaliland (self-declared) has also appointed dual citizens, including Foreign Minister Abdirahman Bakaal (US ties, previously in Minnesota).

OTHER NOTES
Mohamed Abdullahi Mohamed (Farmajo) was a dual US-Somali citizen (renounced US citizenship in 2019) who attended UN events as Somalia’s President but did not serve in a UN staff or permanent representative capacity.
Omar Abdirashid Ali Sharmarke (dual Canadian-Somali) previously worked for the UN in various field roles and later served as Somalia’s ambassador to the US.
UN international civil servants (Secretariat staff) can hold dual citizenship in many cases, but no comprehensive public roster of dual US-Somali citizens in those roles appears in available reporting. National representatives to the UN (like Permanent Representatives) are appointed by Somalia and represent that government.
Many Somali diplomats and diaspora returnees have long US residence, education, or business ties, consistent with broader patterns of dual-citizen involvement in Somali politics and diplomacy. Claims of dual status often rely on media reporting, business records, or biographies rather than formal dual-citizenship certificates.

EXCLUSIVE: Newly-elected Minnesota lawmaker Abdi Daisane ran for seat in Somalia's parliament
St. Cloud daycare owner Abdi Daisane made history earlier this month by winning a seat in the Minnesota House of Representatives, becoming the first Somali lawmaker to represent central Minnesota.
But Alpha News has learned that just five years earlier, he was pursuing a seat in another nation's legislature — more than 8,000 miles away in his East African homeland.
"I am a candidate for Member of Parliament in the House of the People of the Federal Republic of Somalia," Daisane says in an English translation of a 2021 campaign video.
🚨Ohio Midterm Election Results - Autopsy Report
There is a lot of incorrect information floating around. Instead of trying to correct the masses of misinformation, I am providing the election result summaries by candidate (attached below). I plugged all the data into a spreadshet by county and reviewed. However, I found no reason to believe their was any fowl play in the results. That does not mean problems did not occur - it merely means the available data cannot prove inaccuracy.
HISTORICAL COMPARISON & SHIFTS
▶️From 2016 through 2024, Ohio transitioned from a quintessential swing state into a reliably Republican stronghold.
▶️The 19-Point Two-Year Whiplash (2024 to 2026):
In November 2024, Donald Trump carried Ohio by 11.2 percentage points and Bernie Moreno unseated three-term Democratic Senator Sherrod Brown by 3.6 points. Just two years later, Democrat Amy Acton won the governorship—a net swing at the top of the ticket—while Sherrod Brown reclaimed Ohio's other Senate seat against appointed incumbent Jon Husted by 4.9 points.
▶️Suburban Realignment & Turnout Inversion:
Mirroring the national midterm dynamic, high-propensity suburban voters around Columbus (Franklin/Delaware), Cleveland (Cuyahoga/Lake), and Cincinnati (Hamilton) turned out in force and broke heavily against the GOP, while low-propensity rural and Appalachian voters who surged for Trump in 2016, 2020, and 2024 stayed home in large numbers.
2026 OHIO REPUBLICAN PARTY AUTOPSY REPORT
On November 3, 2026, the Ohio Republican Party suffered significant electoral defeats. Making clear that our losses were driven by candidate quality, strategic miscalculations, and midterm turnout asymmetry.
🚨PRIMARY DRIVERS OF DEFEAT
1⃣ Top-of-the-Ticket Candidate Vulnerability
(The Gubernatorial Drag):
THE KAMALA HARRIS EFFECT
May 9, 2025: The Ohio GOP State Central Committee voted 60 to 3 via secret ballot to endorse Ramaswamy.
The 2026 Ohio primary election took place on Tuesday, May 5, 2026.
⚠️The Ohio GOP State Central Committee should NOT endorse any candidates, before voters get their say in the Primary Elections.
Nominating Vivek Ramaswamy created an insurmountable messaging and coalition problem. Despite outspending Amy Acton by roughly 3-to-1 ($101 million in supportive ad spending), Ramaswamy failed to consolidate traditional center-right DeWine voters—evidenced by nearly 20% of GOP primary voters backing a protest challenger.
Furthermore, late-stage negative campaigning—specifically a widely condemned advertisement involving Acton's estranged mother—alienated undecided suburban women and independents, turning a competitive race into a blowout that dragged down the entire ticket.
2⃣ Over-Reliance on Presidential-Year Turnout Models:
Since 2016, the Ohio GOP has built its statewide margin on massive turnouts in rural, exurban, and post-industrial counties (e.g., Mahoning, Trumbull, Ashtabula). In 2026, without Donald Trump on the ballot and amid midterm economic headwinds, turnout among Trump-only working-class voters collapsed. Jon Husted ran a disciplined, traditional campaign in the U.S. Senate special election, yet still fell short by 4.9 points because the rural vote bank failed to materialize while Sherrod Brown rebuilt his blue-collar coalition.
3⃣ Down-Ballot Musical Chairs & Fatigue:
Rather than recruiting fresh faces or letting incumbents run on their records, GOP officeholders engaged in a game of "musical chairs"—Keith Faber moving from Auditor to Attorney General, Robert Sprague moving from Treasurer to Secretary of State, and Frank LaRose moving from Secretary of State to Auditor. After 16 years of uninterrupted Republican control in Columbus, voters were receptive to Democratic challengers promising an institutional check on one-party rule.
🚨RECOMMENDATIONS FOR 2028 & BEYOND
Rebuild the Midterm Ground Game:
Develop a permanent, year-round voter mobilization operation specifically targeting low-propensity rural and working-class voters who sit out non-presidential cycles, rather than relying on top-of-ticket national charisma.
Prioritize General-Election Viability in Primaries:
Party leadership and donors must vet primary candidates for suburban appeal in Delaware, Hamilton, Cuyahoga, and Montgomery counties. Ohio cannot be won statewide if the GOP loses the major metro suburbs by 20+ points.
Recalibrate Legislative & Congressional Maps:
With Democrat Allison Russo now sitting on the Ohio Redistricting Commission and Democrats holding the Governor's veto pen, Republicans must abandon map strategies that leave districts vulnerable to changing political environments and construct durable, defensible districts.
Prepare Immediately for the 2028 Senate Rematch:
Because Sherrod Brown won a special election to finish JD Vance's unexpired term, that Senate seat will be back on the ballot in November 2028 alongside the presidential race. With newly tapped NRSC Chair Bernie Moreno leading national recruitment, the party must coalesce early behind a unified, disciplined nominee capable of pairing Trump-era rural margins with suburban competence.

The United States says economic warfare is crippling the Islamic Republic so effectively that a full-scale military offensive is unnecessary.
Marco Rubio said the sanctions campaign and naval blockade are inflicting “extraordinary” economic pain that is intensifying every day.
“We don’t need to conduct military strikes if we’re achieving the same objective through economic means and economic pressure.”
The numbers support his assessment.
The Islamic Republic loaded no crude or condensate onto tankers throughout September, the first full month without loadings since modern tracking began. No new cargo has been loaded since approximately August 25, while tankers filled since mid-July remain trapped inside the blockade zone.
Iranian oil stored at sea outside the blockade has fallen from nearly 89 million barrels in July to zero. Another 43 million barrels remain stranded inside the restricted area.
Without functioning export routes, production has reportedly fallen from pre-war levels of approximately 3.3–3.6 million barrels per day to around 2 million or less.
CENTCOM estimates the blockade has already prevented more than $25 billion in crude exports.
Because Chinese buyers normally pay weeks after receiving shipments, the regime is still collecting delayed revenue from earlier deliveries. If the blockade holds, however, its crude and condensate income could approach zero by mid-December.
This is succeeding where conventional sanctions repeatedly failed.
Sanctions could be circumvented through shell companies, falsified documents, ship-to-ship transfers and shadow fleets. The physical blockade prevents tankers from leaving Iranian ports and transporting oil through the Persian Gulf and Gulf of Oman.
The Islamic Republic has also failed to sustain the global energy crisis it expected would force the United States to retreat.
Other Persian Gulf producers have increased exports, regional oil flows have recovered and Brent has fallen toward $90 after recently approaching $118.
The regime is losing its oil revenue while the international market adapts around it.
The United States is now expanding the pressure beyond maritime routes.
Task Force Iron Gate is targeting weapons, dual-use technology, sanctioned materials and illicit revenue moving across Iran’s land borders and the Caspian Sea.
It is not a physical ground blockade, but it is designed to disrupt the alternative routes the Islamic Republic needs to finance itself and rebuild its missile, drone and military capabilities.
This does not eliminate the risk of escalation.
A regime losing its primary source of foreign currency could retaliate through shipping attacks, cyber operations, proxies or direct military action.
But launching a wider offensive while the existing strategy is steadily draining the regime’s revenue would create enormous military, economic and political risks before the blockade has reached its full effect.
The strategy is working because it forces the Islamic Republic to absorb compounding damage while denying it the oil shock, American casualties and regional chaos it needs to fracture the coalition against it.
The Islamic Republic expected energy disruption to become its ultimate weapon.
The United States is turning the regime’s dependence on energy exports into the weapon being used against it.
The Islamic Republic says fake negotiation headlines are part of a deliberate campaign to lower oil prices and dismantle its remaining Hormuz leverage.
Kayhan, a newspaper closely aligned with the regime’s leadership, is now sounding the alarm.
It describes elevated oil prices as “our strong weapon” because they impose economic and political costs on the United States and other energy-consuming countries.
Brent crude has fallen toward approximately $90 per barrel, well below recent highs, as reports of Qatari mediation and possible de-escalation calm global markets.
Kayhan portrays the process as a manufactured “show of negotiating with Iran through mediators.” It argues that negotiation headlines are reducing the conflict’s risk premium, lowering energy costs and making it easier for the United States to maintain its blockade.
The Islamic Republic is already losing most of its direct oil income.
Before the conflict, Iran exported approximately 1.5–1.7 million barrels of crude per day, briefly exceeding two million in February 2026.
After the American naval blockade:
▪️ Exports collapsed toward approximately 209,000–260,000 barrels per day in May.
▪️ Some later months recorded almost no seaborne loadings from the country’s main terminals.
▪️ Production fell from more than three million barrels per day toward approximately 1.9–2.2 million.
▪️ Much of the regime’s estimated $2–3 billion in monthly oil-export revenue disappeared.
Some oil continues reaching markets through Iraq and other workarounds, but the regime’s main export system has been physically throttled.
This leaves the Islamic Republic dependent on a different form of leverage.
If it cannot profit from Iran’s oil, it can still try to make everyone else’s oil more expensive by restricting the Strait of Hormuz, threatening shipping and sustaining fear of further escalation.
Negotiation headlines weaken that weapon.
Qatar says mediation is continuing and that both sides have delivered positive messages. Its prime minister has met President Trump and Vice President JD Vance while carrying proposals between the United States and the Islamic Republic.
Kayhan fears that the appearance of diplomatic progress is benefiting the United States before the regime receives sanctions relief, access to frozen assets or an end to the blockade.
Lower oil prices reduce inflationary and political pressure, strengthen America’s ability to sustain the economic siege and make renewed military action less economically disruptive.
Kayhan therefore argues that negotiations must remain secondary to intensified pressure.
Its preferred strategy is to keep energy markets frightened, preserve uncertainty around Hormuz and convince the United States that continuing the blockade will carry unbearable costs.
The disagreement exposes a growing division inside the Islamic Republic.
Some officials see Qatar’s mediation as a possible escape from mounting economic and military pressure.
Others fear the process is dismantling their remaining leverage before they receive anything in return.
The most revealing part is Kayhan’s admission that the Islamic Republic’s strongest remaining “weapon” is not economic strength or military victory.
It is the ability to frighten markets, disrupt shipping and increase energy costs for the rest of the world.
The American blockade has crushed the regime’s ability to profit from Iran’s oil, while diplomacy is now weakening its ability to weaponize global oil prices.

A devastating investigation by The Insider has exposed how Russian military intelligence and the FSB used an American fugitive to manufacture disinformation, interfere in US elections, and manipulate Western public opinion.
The Insider obtained leaked correspondence from John Mark Dougan, a former US police officer who fled to Russia in 2016 and became a key figure in the Kremlin's Storm-1516 disinformation network.
Dougan operated hundreds of fake news websites designed to mimic legitimate Western publications, using AI-generated content and fabricated stories to deceive Western audiences and give Russian propaganda the appearance of credible journalism.
The leaked messages reveal direct cooperation with Russia's GRU military intelligence, including Unit 29155, notorious for covert operations and sabotage abroad.
Dougan helped manufacture stories about Ukrainian biological weapons laboratories and spread fabricated sexual abuse allegations against Democratic vice-presidential candidate Tim Walz during the 2024 US election.
Some of these fabrications reached millions of Americans and were amplified by prominent political figures.
But the investigation also reveals how badly things ended for Dougan. By 2026, he was complaining about being broke, earning less than a Russian delivery courier, and growing furious over the Kremlin's internet censorship.
After years of spreading Russian propaganda, he was increasingly turning against the very government he had served.
The Insider's investigation provides remarkable firsthand evidence of how Russian intelligence manufactures disinformation and injects it into Western political discourse.

Starting from 2019, the alternative media infrastructure that is called the podcast world decided they were going to shape and manipulate conservative voters, and they did a very good job of that. We were sleeping for four years because everybody was fighting the battle of the Biden administration, but underneath those battles was the new right formulating their next big fight, which would literally come to blows the minute Trump walked into his second term because the minute that happened, it was no longer about Donald Trump. It was about the future of the Republican Party, and these people have always wanted to steer the Republican party away from what Trump wanted because they only saw Trump as an opening, an opening to push an ideology that is inherently the opposite of conservatism. They realized that in 2024, part of Trump’s victory came from podcast Bros. So they used that to launch a de-mortarization effort, because if you wanna tear down the party, you have no choice but to hand them a humongous loss before you can build it back.
🚨The Influence Playbook:
Inside the Modern Battle for the American Mind
In the digital age, the military term "PSYOP"—short for Psychological Operations—has become internet slang for any suspected manipulation. Yet behind the viral memes lies a clear line between what the U.S. government can legally do, how former operatives and podcasters shape public opinion, and how citizens can spot coordinated campaigns.
THE LEGAL WALL AROUND THE PUBLIC
In military doctrine, PSYOP campaigns influence foreign audiences using targeted messaging. However, under federal law and Pentagon policy, no U.S. military or intelligence agency is permitted to conduct PSYOP on the American public. Following Cold War abuses like MKUltra and COINTELPRO, strict congressional oversight and laws like the Smith-Mundt Act keep covert government influence operations strictly overseas.
FROM THE BATTLEFIED TO THE PODCAST STUDIO
If the U.S. government cannot run domestic PSYOP, why do modern media campaigns feel like military-grade persuasion?
▶️Former Operatives in the Private Sector:
When military and intelligence specialists leave government service, they return to civilian life. While barred from acting as secret government proxies, many apply their behavioral analysis and strategic messaging skills in corporate PR, political consulting, and cybersecurity.
▶️The Rise of Podcasters:
Independent hosts build deep trust with listeners, making them prime targets—and amplifiers—in the modern information war. Political groups, PR firms, and foreign networks increasingly use sponsorships, paid guest spots, and talking-point briefs to push narratives through popular shows, while algorithms reward hosts who lean into outrage.
▶️Foreign Adversaries:
Intelligence services from countries like Russia, China, and Iran actively exploit open social media and podcast networks to spread disinformation and polarize voters.
HOW TO SPOT A COORDINATED CAMPAIGN
Researchers say artificial influence leaves behind clear digital fingerprints:
▶️Synchronized Talking Points:
Multiple podcasters or accounts repeating the exact same niche phrase or framing within hours of each other.
▶️Coordinated "Astroturfing":
Waves of newly created accounts boosting identical clips or hashtags at unnatural speeds.
▶️Emotional Triggers:
Content engineered to spark immediate anger or fear without offering verifiable facts.
▶️Hidden Paper Trails:
Unlike covert foreign trolls, domestic political ads and foreign lobbyists leave public records in Meta and Google Ad Libraries, FEC filings, and the Justice Department's FARA database.
Social media and podcast algorithms naturally reward outrage. By pausing before sharing, checking who funds a host or sponsor, and verifying claims across independent outlets, everyday listeners can step outside the influence playbook.
EXAMPLES OF RECENT CAMPAIGNS
Ahead of the November 2026 U.S. midterm elections, cybersecurity researchers and tech companies disrupted several coordinated operations using newer AI-driven methods:
▶️The "Matrioska" Video Network. Tracked by disinformation researchers through late 2026, this Russian-linked campaign produced fake videos impersonating Hollywood celebrities and major news outlets. The network posted the clips using hacked or purchased social media accounts, then deployed coordinated bots to flood the replies and boost view counts so the videos appeared organically viral.
Who Was Behind It.
U.S. intelligence and cybersecurity researchers attributed the operation to the Social Design Agency, a Kremlin-funded private Russian PR firm sanctioned by the U.S. and European Union.
▶️Operation "Bogus Bylines." Exposed in an October 2026 threat report by OpenAI, this Iran-linked operation used AI tools to draft English-language opinion pieces under seven fabricated Western journalist personas. Operators pitched the articles to small- and medium-sized U.S. news websites, successfully placing nearly 100 pieces designed to shape American public opinion on foreign policy.
Ilhan Omar briefly reposted this message on November 10, 2026, before removing it.
On Tuesday, November 10, 2026, Omar met for roughly two hours in her Capitol Hill office with her defense attorneys, Amy Jeffress and Joshua Matz of Hecker Fink LLP. When asked by reporters whether the investigations would distract from her congressional duties, Omar stated, "I am not [concerned]".
MSM is a pack of rabid jackals...
They are the Enemy Within.
🚨 HOLY SMOKES. WSJ previously posted an aerial photo of Sec. Scott Bessent's house which might've HELPED IRAN geolocate it — with advanced threats prompting him to move to a military base
😡😡
"First came up back in 2025 in January when the Wall Street Journal published an aerial view of the secretary's Georgetown mansion that reportedly allowed his home to be geolocated."
"Recently, the threats reached a more advanced stage with Bessent leading the economic pressure campaign against the Iranian regime."
The Treasury says he will NOT be deterred.
Pray for Bessent! 🙏🏻
Publishing a bird's eye view of a cabinet secretary's home is reckless.
Bessent has led the economic war on Iran for MONTHS, with sanctions choking off the regime's cash and a naval blockade of Iranian ports on top of it. That's exactly why the mullahs want him gone.
He's not alone either. Rubio and Stephen Miller have also moved onto military bases or into protected housing.

OHIO IMMIGRANT POPULATION
This spreadsheet highlights a striking split-ticket outcome in Ohio's 2026 election. While Democrats swept five of the six statewide races—led by Amy Acton and Sherrod Brown—Republican Frank LaRose managed to win the Auditor race by running roughly 50,000 to 150,000 votes stronger than his fellow Republicans across Ohio's major urban and suburban counties. That smaller urban deficit allowed his rural margins to carry him across the finish line statewide.
