(1) I know it must seem confusing that I have waxed eloquent about Lindsey Graham one minute and denounced him the next, so I better explain why. Same goes for Marco Rubio, Rand Paul, and some others.
I believe in always #VoteGOP while criticizing issue by issue regardless.

(2) A lot of folk don't always #VoteGOP, and they, are the reason we don't always win elections. You can divert blame all over the place if you want, to vote fraud and other places, but this fact is inescapable. Staying home ensures that a Democrat wins.
(3) My heart goes out to all the patriots who have to vote for people like Mitt Romney, in order to keep a Democrat out. Your situation sucks.
As irritating as he's going to be in the Senate, he will vote for GOP-nominated judges, and that is EVERYTHING. Absolutely everything.

(2) I've spent most of my life (48yrs) thinking about how people can determine what is real & what is not. In college I learned how to write in a "scholarly way," then learned on-the-job how to write credible policy reports 4 politicians, then retired & did "self-directed study."
(3) Medical issues forced me to retire far younger than I wanted to. I LOVED my job analyzing policy options, advising decision makers (Cabinet members), & drafting PR talking points. Still, I gained "intellectual freedom" to study & say whatever I want.
(1) Thread #4: Mass illegal immigration attempts on the US Southern border.
Caravans through Mexico will always be with us, certainly long after 2018 midterms. The current ones are different... the strongest response is needed.

(2) The strong response being formed now will reduce size/frequency of future caravan attempts. The eventual #EndCatchAndRelease, #FinishTheWall & other actions by the incoming congress will allow the military deployments to end.

(3) Florida is one of the most important states to follow in this campaign. I love this photo of POTUS greeting Senate candidate Rick Scott, esp. since he had to suspend campaigning to carry out his Governor duties bc of horrific Hurricane Michael.

(1) A quick thread about dumb assertions that distort what I say.
Here's something I said against the idea that a social media platform that has no limits on free speech should be supported.
I joined Gab b4 it launched, but soon gave up using it. I'm NOT a free speech purist.

(2) This logically fallacious reply earned a block. There's just no point wasting time engaging with replies like this.
Clearly, I didn't "blame Gab." I merely expressed my view about the policy and legal issues involved. But this account decided to lie about me.

(2) POTUS Trump would have the same views whether or not 3 of his grandkids were Jewish but, in honor of those lost at the Tree Of Life synagogue in Pittsburgh, I Kushnerized tweet (1). They're the most well known Jewish American kids & for me it's about #love #family & #peace.
(3) Most of us don't know those harmed in Pittsburgh but we know the faces of Arabella, Joseph, & Theodore.
My thoughts are with everyone targeted by prejudice, especially because of their faith or ethnicity. A crime against any human is a crime against all humans.

(2) For over a year I've rejected all violent, lawless rhetoric whenever I tweet or write threads about political issues. This caravan thread is no exception.
The tragedy in Pittsburgh *should* provide a good explanation for why I do this.

(3) IMO, Trump's responses today to the antisemitic hate crime of murdering 11 people, injuring 6, & terrorizing millions more, were perfectly appropriate & balanced, & from the heart. We reject violence, while speaking freely & peacefully fighting for policies & laws we want.

For me, "non biological" rules out ricin and cornstarch. It could be inert or otherwise. I've seen no evidence yet that any of the devices were capable of causing physical injury. They cause fear though, making them terroristic.

(1) The anti-Trump media, Democrats & their foreign state and non-state terrorist partners will be unsatisfied with his responses to the Khashoggi case no matter what he says.
His quote today is clear about it:

(2) President Trump: “They had a very bad original concept. It was carried out poorly and the cover-up was one of the worst cover-ups in the history of cover-ups. Very simple. Bad deal, should have never been thought of. Somebody really messed up.”
(3) Trump: “They had a very bad original concept.”
Opponents: Criminal Trump only cares that they were caught!
Me: "Very bad" could refer to the original plan to kill or kidnap Khashoggi. It's not clear, but it will become so in due course.

Finally, an arena large enough for a Trump-sized crowd! #VoteGOP #TexasForTrump #DefyHistory #JobsNotMobs

(2) When I say "venue," I'm referring to the whole precinct, inside and out. When I get official info on the indoor venue/arena capacity I will provide it here. Early clips suggest it's quite large, with more people outside of course.
(3) Per the Toyota Center website the arena's capacity for concerts is up to 19k. I'm disappointed yet again that a stadium with >50k capacity wasn't hired, but I know eventually it will be. Might have to wait until #TrumpPence2020!

(3) Like all major news affecting the Trump mvt, there's 3 narratives:
A: The liberal MSM distort & lie to undermine the US.
B: Fake Trump supporting pundits sow FUD (fear, uncertainty & doubt) to undermine the US.
C: Calm, reasoned observers expose A & B.

Socialists throughout Latin America & Canada are always trying to impose their will on the US. Finally we have a POTUS willing to STOP them.

(2) I've been following the "news" stories and studying available photos to figure out what's really going on. My opinion on this event differs from the group of so-called Trump supporters hysterically calling for deadly force against this group of Democrat pawns.
(3) Yes, this is an "invasion force." They openly state & demonstrate their intent to use the force of numbers to breach the US border. They exploit innocent children, toddlers & babies, as human shields, like other terrorists do.
(1) Under the below tweet there's discussion of what Trump's plan to deploy the military to the border will mean in practice. Yes, it will work, by providing a physical barrier, & deterrence. But actual law enforcement like making arrests, using weapons, can only be done by LEOs.
(2) This is super-important bc I need y'all to remain calm for the next 3 weeks at least. Election season is always crazy but this one is "off the charts." On every issue there's not 2 main competing narratives, but 3-4. Here's my take on the border issue:
(1) There's two different cases of mailing white powder to political targets that are prominent rn.
Frisiello in Boston: justice.gov/usao-ma/pr/mas…
Allen in Utah: justice.gov/opa/pr/utah-ma…
You have to read at least the above press releases to know the basics of each.
Frisiello in Boston: justice.gov/usao-ma/pr/mas…
Allen in Utah: justice.gov/opa/pr/utah-ma…
You have to read at least the above press releases to know the basics of each.
(2) I'll use this thread to address comments I see about either case. Currently, people are claiming that Frisiello should not have granted pre-trial home detention for 6 months & that he was likely to be able to easily escape it. The answer to this is not straightforward.
(3) First, some facts of the case (source: above press release):
>Offending occurred in 2015, 2016, 2017, & 2018.
>Wide range of political & personal targets.
>Arrested on 3/1/18, pleaded guilty on 10/17/18 to 19 counts.
>Sentencing is scheduled for 1/16/19.

(1) On 21/12/12, Navy SEAL Cmdr. W. Price took his own life while deployed in Afghanistan. Conspiracy "theorists" claim he was killed to cover up wrongdoing by HRC, but I'm convinced we lost this hero to combat-PTSD & suicide, & it's a cautionary tale.

(2) Yes, the article is in the failing NYT. I've found that not all of their stories are fake and anti-Trump. It's necessary to read a NYT story before deciding whether to believe it. The relevant facts in this case are drawn from the Navy's report, which appears credible to me.
(3) This story shows in stark relief what a great cost Obama's policies have been to the US and the world, and why the election of Trump & adequate congressional majorities was and is necessary for the survival of the Republic, and to have a chance at peace in the world.
(1) You may have noticed I do #PhotoThreads. We have Crooked Hillary to thank as the 2016 inspiration for my hobby. I monitored her campaign photos daily for #SideOfBeef signs, of which there are many.
Time for one more #HillarysHealth thread. Links to others below.

(2) Why write about Hillary in 2018? Because she keeps talking.
As I've said many times for >2 years, the best thing for her would be to retire from public life and enjoy what time she has left with family.
To #LockHerUp we need a trial. In a court. She cannot live that long.

(3) Don't misunderstand me. I don't WANT her to be able to enjoy her remaining years at home & stumbling around free. J/s, the US is a nation of laws & if Trump doesn't use those laws to hold her accountable, you can kiss goodbye any of the gains he's making across the board.

(1) The Democrat-run city of Duluth, MN has many claims to fame but did you know it's famous for the Duluth Model, a feminism-based domestic abuse treatment program?

OK, back on topic.
OK, back on topic.
(3) Programs based on the Duluth Model teach women that their abuse is due, in part, to "patriarchy"
For decades, the model has contributed to governments minimizing domestic abuse that isn't male on female.

(3) The FBI is merely updating the file. It is not investigating a crime, bc no one has provided a date, time, place, or ANY substantiating or corroborating evidence. We already know that Ford's 4 supposed witnesses deny her *claims*.
