Reagan use to have a sign in the Oval Office which read "it's amazing what can get done when you don't care who gets the credit for it."

Along those lines, there's been a lot of discussion here past few days on who was or wasn't right about Covidstan tyranny and for how long?
Obviously, I have a confirmed record here on this going back to the very beginning you can check for yourself. From the very beginning of this scamdemic, there was a small group of us pushing back on this tyrannical and ridiculous narrative.
Speaking only for myself, I have been incredibly frustrated with several people/platforms I like and admire who played footsy with Fauci/Gottlieb/Covidstan/etc for way too long.
So ironically while being a pioneer in this space was growing my platform professionally, personally as an American I don't care about that. I just want our freaking lives back, and we had too many of our aircraft carriers sitting in moth balls by choice.
And if I'm really being honest, I have held my tongue quite a bit these past 22 months, while seeing people who used to endorse my books now suddenly acting as if I don't exist, and refusing to endorse or acknowledge Faucian Bargain.
Why did I hold my tongue? Because I didn't want to make it about me, or a urination contest, which is easy for me to do. I wanted to make sure I made it about the mission -- which was defeating the worst invasion of individual American sovereignty in American history.
So I grumbled to friends in private to get it off my chest, and then in public went back into Nehemiah mode as best I can -- as in "I am doing a very important work, and cannot come down from this wall."
I also did the best I could to use the platform I do have to elevate others previously maybe not known, who were also doing very important work deconstructing this unprecedented propaganda machine.
Now that it's clear #Omicron is the control group I've been forecasting here for weeks now, and the Covidstan narrative is completely unravelling, we suddenly have many more people/platforms who wish to jump on the bandwagon.
Hume has actually been pretty good on Covid stuff from the beginning, but I'm speaking more about people/platforms like NRO, which is why I've authored this thread in response to their piece on this.
Trust me, I'm a dude with an ego and a sinner. It is awfully tempting to play the "I told you so" game here. It's also very easy to let some professional jealousy get in the way, too, since...
I'm now seeing memes and more galore being spread and shared by/with bigger names and platforms suddenly acting as if this stuff is new prophecy and they are the prophets -- when a group of us has been saying this stuff all along and they ignored us. Or even sided with Covidstan.
Does it bother me? Gee, I dunno, were previous popes before this current woke joke Catholic? Of course it does. But you know what bothers me more? The destruction Covidstan has left in its wake.
The kids my wife's therapy practice is turning away because they're already overloaded with children struggling, after what this last two years has done to them, and the time it has taken they'll never get back.
All the emails from listeners/viewers whose loved ones couldn't get early treatment, and now they're either dead or on a ventilator waiting to die. I've read so many of these this year it's given me clinical anxiety, as I've struggled to process my own feelings here.
All the emails from listeners/viewers who lost their jobs, while people/platforms they made the rich stars they currently are took money to shill for the very instrument stealing their livelihoods. Yet another reason I'm now struggling with clinical anxiety.
All the emails from listeners/viewers whose loved ones died alone and isolated, before they could love on them one more time. Or were banished from family gatherings, if not their families altogether, because they refused to succumb to the psyop. More reasons for my anxiety.
See, I love the fight, and love to make the right enemies. That charges my battery. I don't mind the hate it causes, I relish it. But the suffering of others, that's what I can't internally process. And seeing so much of it the past 22 months has damned near broken me.
Hell, I'm choking up right now as I'm writing this, just thinking about all of it again.
I just want this evil, wicked, terrible bullshit to stop. And I don't care who gets the credit for it. I don't care if suddenly others get the credit for the trail we blazed all along. Just please give these poor people their damned lives back, whatever and whomever it takes.
Then, when we have finally driven the final stake through the heart of Covidstan, we will have a reckoning about why our aircraft carriers mothballed themselves, and reassess who's really fighting the Spirit of the Age here.
In the meantime, forgive me for using this thread to try and process my own fears, anxieties, and feelings after a very difficult year. Thank you to all of you who were brave from the beginning.

I looked into the cross tabs of this poll in 3 key battleground states -- Nevada, Pennsylvania, and Wisconsin. Because it is absolutely impossible for Trump to get the required 270 Electoral College votes without winning at least 1 of them. Darned near impossible for him to get there without winning at least 2 of them.

Here are some cross-tabs that just don't make sense:
Nevada
-Claims Trump is winning women by 9 there when he lost them by 10 in 2020 (if this is true, why all the caving on abortion then?).
-Claims Trump is winning men there by 18 when he won them by only 5 in 2020.
-Claims Trump is winning Hispanics there by 11 when he lost them by 26 in 2020.
Pennsylvania
-Claims Trump is only losing women there by 3 when he lost them by 11 in 2020 (if this is true, why all the caving on abortion then?).
-Claims Trump is ahead there despite doing 5 points worse with whites than he did in 2020.
-Claims Biden is only getting 44% of the Philadelphia vote when he received 81% of it in 2020.
-Claims Biden is only getting 50% of the black vote there when he received 92% in 2020.

Some takeaways from the #IACaucus results in this thread, the first official votes of the 2024 election.

Before the vote, I said I was confident in 4 things:

1) Turnout would be down. ✔️
2) DeSantis would over-perform his polling. ✔️
3) Haley wouldn't finish second. ✔️
4) Haley would be closer to Vivek than DeSantis. ✖️

So I was right on 3/4. But there are details in there that must be further discussed, so we shall.
Turnout Would Be Down.
Make no mistake, this was a dominant performance by former President Trump. He more than doubled the record for largest caucus win ever (previously set by Dole 1988, who didn't win the nomination btw). Before we get into some other ominous signs within the turnout, though, that needs to be acknowledged from the jump. It is clear 'muh polls' were right about his support. Congratulations to him and his team. Tip of the cap. You blew the roof off the joint. Give them their flowers.
However, this election isn't about winning the Iowa Caucuses. It's really about winning 294 days from today. And to that end, there are concerns.

Yes, I expected turnout to be down. Until recently, this has been a low energy cycle in Iowa. Then we had the worst winter weather I can remember leading up to the in-person vote. However, I never expected a 41% drop in turnout from 2016. That is not good. When you factor in we have by far the most registered Republicans in the state's history, this is the worst turnout in the history of the Iowa Caucuses.

Can it all be chalked up to weather? Perhaps. But remember, GOP turnout was noticeably down across-the-board in the special and off-year elections in 2023 as well. So this is something to watch as we move forward, because I can't think of a time when a party had diminished turnout in a primary cycle and then went on to success in the general.

The biggest driver in depressed turnout? Shockingly it was white evangelicals -- long considered perhaps Trump's strongest base. They were 64% of caucus goers in 2016 but just 55% this year. No GOP nominee is winning a general election with depressed white evangelical turnout like that, no matter what percentage of them he gets.

My man is the first elected official to snap the spines of the demonic teachers' unions in a major urban population center. This is a generational accomplishment. All he does is win on policy, which is what matters most. Except when it doesn't...
The problem is it's very hard to build an uber-lucrative following in this business with a narrative of winning on policy, because much of the GOP base doesn't actually care about policy despite its claims to the contrary. We are not the people we claim to be.
Since we're not backed by gubmint and global corporations like Left Media, we often need to move where the food is. Which is more often found perpetuating a victim narrative more than a victor one, and exposing Leftist hypocrisy more than demanding GOP accountability.

With a night to sleep on it and reflect, thought I'd share some thoughts on the Colorado Supreme Court being the first to do the kinds of things I've been predicting for most of this year we were going to see. Let's try and look at this from several different angles.
Legal
People whose opinions I respect, including some that aren't even in the Trump Ride or Die camp, believe the opinion is basically junk. However, never forget this:

We are not a nation of laws, and never have been, but a nation of political will, and we will always will be.
For example, imagine Righty social media post-Roe v Wade. "This is complete bunk. There's no right to murder your kid in the Constitution, let alone an explicit right to privacy. This will get overturned." Instead, Roe was the "law of the land" for half a century.

With the release of the latest Iowa Poll, and the Caucuses now just 35 days away, I think it is time to have a blunt conversation about the state of things. Not just Iowa, but beyond. And I'm going to tell you what I really think, because that's what I do.
And therefore, I'm not sure anybody is going to like it, but that's just my way lol.
The main goal here is not Iowa but defeating the Demoncrats 329 days from today. I have never said that before, but this time I am convinced the country cannot survive another four years of this combined manifestation of corruption, evil, and idiocy.

This is in Politico Playbook this morning. Trump campaign meeting with corporate media who hates us all, but they’re conspiring together to destroy @RonDeSantis. The same media that tried to impeach Trump and is trying to put him in prison now, nevertheless toasting his campaign. All the same people the Trump campaign is schmoozing now will of course go all in to defeat him in the general.

From a Little Birdie who was there at the same restaurant and witnessed it firsthand:

“Not a single conservative media outlet was there. All corporate and left-wing media. On the one hand, it is noteworthy the Trump campaign felt the need to travel the length of the country for a debate their candidate supposedly doesn’t think is worth his time. But to actually see these two supposed mortal enemies yucking it up, to see the liberal media completely in bed with the Trump campaign like that, it was surreal.”
This just goes to show the Trump campaign/team thinks this is all just politics. And they can reel in these vipers for some silly "the enemy of my enemy is my friend" 1-dimensional chess. Meanwhile, enemy media speaks with forked tongue. Its father is the father of lies. They advocate for murder, human trafficking, gender mutilation, etc. out in the open. The true doctrines of demons.

The Trump campaign isn't using the enemy media. It is using them. They are the ones playing 4-D chess here. At the same time the Trump campaign is buying the high-end steak dinners and bottomless glasses of wine, these same people are coordinating with the deep state to destroy Trump and anyone adjacent to him -- even to the point of imprisonment.

Meanwhile, Trump and his team again acting as if this is all a game, except they're the ones being played (and us). This isn't pro wrestling with heroes and heels and Hulk Hogan goes from a real American to Hollywood. This is an outright Cold Civil War, and only one side will win. The other will be lost to history. We're playing a game. They're playing for keeps.

This is what I mean when I say our side just isn't serious. But the other side is as serious as a Covid jab-inducing heart attack.
They accused you of being traitor and Russian asset. They stole an election from you. They impeached you. They're trying to imprison you now. And your people are wining and dining them? Are you freaking kidding me? What will it take to take this all seriously?
