The Groypers have a fascinating political strategy: Adopt 100% of our agenda or we'll help elect Democrats who oppose 90% of it. No compromise. No coalition. No concessions. Ross Perot split the right in 1992. The Bull Moose revolt fractured Republicans in 1912 and helped hand Woodrow Wilson the White House. The Students for a Democratic Society imploded in 1969 because its factions couldn't agree on whose revolution was pure enough. The Weather Underground took radicalism to such extremes that it abandoned persuasion for violence and political irrelevance. And William F. Buckley understood that the John Birch Society's conspiratorial fringe threatened the credibility of the entire conservative movement. Different movements. Different circumstances. Same recurring lesson: ideological purity is not a substitute for political effectiveness. But the Groypers have taken it a step further. They openly urged Americans to vote Democrat in the midterms. Their platform couldn't win a national election, so their strategy is to make sure Republicans can't either. And what exactly does that accomplish? Neither outcome advances their stated cause. In fact, it sets them further back. The obsession with Israel isn't some revolutionary new discovery. Antisemitic conspiracy theories have been around for centuries. Read a history book. The Iran War will eventually end. The headlines will change. And I suspect many of these influencers will simply chase whatever grievance the algorithm, including potentially foreign-influenced amplification, rewards next. That's not a political philosophy. It's a business model built on resentment. And eventually, I believe a lot of young people will wake up after a few election cycles and realize the Groypers didn't just lead them nowhere. They actually set them back. Politics is a long game. It's called CONSERVATISM for a reason. We're trying to conserve what's been great, not perfect, about this country for 250 years so that our children and grandchildren can enjoy it for the next 250. That requires patience. Persuasion. Building coalitions. Winning elections. And understanding that getting 70% of what you want is infinitely better than helping elect someone who will give you none of it. I also think most young men will eventually grow out of this. Have you ever met an older Groyper? Young men have a natural instinct to admire and emulate other men. That's a good thing. Look at the military heroes we honored on Veterans Day. Men who put service before self, sacrifice before comfort, and duty before applause. I don't know of any Groypers serving in the Navy SEALs. But I know plenty of men in uniform who embody the kind of masculinity worth aspiring to. Also, for all the talk about saving Western civilization, how often do you hear these guys talking about building strong marriages, raising children, serving their communities, or deepening their faith? Because those are the very institutions that make a civilization worth conserving. You don't save Western civilization by spending your twenties angry at strangers on the internet. You save it by becoming the kind of man capable of passing it down. Ultimately, the ingredients of a meaningful life haven't changed. Faith. Family. Duty. Service. Love of country. Those things produce lasting fulfillment and human flourishing. Online grievance politics doesn't. So here's my advice to young men tempted by this movement: Stop looking for someone to blame and start building something worth defending. Go to church. Grow your family. Love America. And remember: The goal of conservatism isn't to win an argument on the internet. It's to leave your children a country worth inheriting.

This is the most important story of our time. "Lutnick has spent the last year "undoing" efforts by other administration officials to hold Megaspeed — [NVIDIA client] accused of illegally diverting U.S. chips to China — accountable because of concerns it would escalate the trade war with China." Along with the blind eye turned to Jensen Huang and his honeypot. So we let China win the AI race - which means Win Everything - out of *concerns it would escalate the trade war*? axios.com/2026/11/11/bessent…

A Tomb Guard from the U.S. Army’s 3rd Infantry Regiment, “The Old Guard” was forced to verbally reprimand Secretary of Defense Pete Hegseth and a group of his senior advisers Wednesday after some in the group laughed and loudly talked in front of the Tomb of the Unknown Soldier at Arlington. Video of the incident, posted by CNN, shows Hegseth standing and taking photos in front of the tomb with his wife, Jennifer, chief of staff Ricky Buria, deputy chief of staff Patrick Weaver as well as senior adviser and deputy assistant Tami Radabaugh, following a ceremony at Arlington National Cemetery for Veterans Day.

🚨 JUST IN: Rep. Mary Miller and a group of House Republicans are pushing HARD to spend the next 52 days having Congress CODIFY President Trump executive orders on the border, DOGE and more THIS IS WHAT WE NEED ‼️ "There are radical communists JUST OUTSIDE THIS ROOM who are determined to dismantle our nation, who even campaigned on that promise! We face a choice, secure our victories or wave the white flag to the radical left. Surrender is not an option!" "We have less than 52 days, less than 60 days, remaining in this Congress to codify all of our victories, and there's NO excuse for wasting a single day." "My colleagues and I are requesting bold action before this Congress adjourns." Executive orders can be wiped out with the stroke of a pen. Laws CANNOT Once the new Congress is sworn in on January 3rd, this window slams shut and Hakeem + Schumer will control bills Lame duck or not, REPUBLICANS in Congress can still get sht done. Lock it in NOW so they have no chance to obstruct it!

🟥 JUST NOW: President Trump just dropped how Democrats magically got 400k-600k MORE Votes than Kamala Harris than Kamala Harris When I ran these numbers a few days ago, I was in complete disbelief about Texas SOMETHING DOES NOT ADD UP

John Kerry declares that US midterm election results showed that voters “made climate change and its exigencies a voting issue.”

Fox: “Why did you float DACA? Why is that the message after the election?” DHS Sec. Mullin: “DACA applies to children that were brought here through no fault of their own.”

🚨 NEW: President Trump is demanding that ALL votes cast for the fake Dan Sullivan in Alaska’s Senate race be reassigned to the REAL Sen. Dan Sullivan (R) — a move that could significantly impact the final outcome of the race. “There should be no question concerning this Rigged Election. Time is of the essence!!!” “Dan Sullivan PLUS Dan Sullivan wins the Alaska Election by thousands of votes. All votes going to the Fake Dan Sullivan, which was done solely for the purpose of fraud and confusion, should immediately be given to the Real Dan Sullivan (Senator!) - Likewise the votes of the second fraudulent candidate, also put up by the Dems.”

Yesterday we reported that Van Jones admitted that the Left ran a covert network of tens of thousands of operatives to push one specific word on social media: affordability. Well, today we now know it’s a professional operation run by Heather Booth, a veteran DNC organizer who has trained over 25,000 community activists. It works with an entire smorgasbord of leftist groups: MoveOn, SEIU, the Teachers Union, the House Democratic Campaign Committee, and many more. When you heard about “affordability” on your socials, you may have been hearing a political campaign. But look at what’s happening right now. Oil plummeted nearly 9% in a single day, gas prices are falling, and jobs numbers just blew past expectations… exactly like Trump predicted back in September. You were manipulated. Watch how fast “affordability” quietly disappears from your feed now that the election is over… at least until they need it again.
