This is a big deal.

Another far-left, Soros-funded prosecutor was just defeated by a tough-on-crime challenger.

This happened in Portland, Oregon — one of the most left-wing cities in the country.

The soft-on-crime era is coming to an end.

Voters have had enough. 🧵(1/14)
Mike Schmidt, the hard-left Portland DA, won with 77% of the vote in 2020.

Last night, he lost by double digits — despite receiving hundreds of thousands of dollars from Soros groups.

His opponent was a lifelong Republican.

Yes: A lifelong Republican won in Portland. (2/14)Image
Schmidt is the latest scalp in a tough-on-crime revolution that's happening across the country.

In the wake of BLM, far-left prosecutors swept into office in many major cities — and immediately began implementing soft-on-crime policies.

The results were devastating. (3/14)
Image
Image
But soon after those policies took effect, a backlash began.

The first sign came in July 2021: The election of Eric Adams as New York mayor.

Whatever you think of Adams today, his win was a rebuke of the Left. He made cracking down on crime the center of his message. (4/14) Image
The next flash point came just a few months later, in November 2021: A law-and-order Republican handily defeated a far-left Democrat for the position of Seattle City Attorney.

(The far-left candidate was especially insane — she wanted to literally abolish the police). (5/14) Image
Then, in June 2022, a political earthquake hit San Francisco: The city's infamously radical district attorney, Chesa Boudin — the son of violent communist revolutionaries who murdered multiple police officers in the 1980s — was recalled by San Franciscan voters. (6/14) Image
A month later, in July 2022, Baltimore state attorney Marilyn Mosby — another Soros-backed left-wing prosecutor — lost in the Democratic primary to a more traditionally tough-on-crime opponent.

Mosby had been charged with perjury—which she claimed was a result of racism. (7/14) Image
Then, in April 2023, Kim Foxx — also far-left and funded by Soros — announced that she wouldn't seek re-election to her position as Chicago's top prosecutor.

Foxx's policies were so radical that she had become a political liability for Chicago's Democratic Party machine. (8/14) Image
A month later, in May 2023, yet another left-wing Soros prosecutor abruptly resigned in disgrace: Kim Gardner, the Circuit Attorney for St. Louis, Missouri.

Gardner's resignation came after a long string of widely-criticized radical policy failures. (See below). (9/14)Image
Image
Then another, that very same month: Rachael Rollins, the U.S. Attorney for the District of Massachusetts.

Rollins was appointed to her position by Biden. She resigned in the face of a looming corruption investigation.

She was the fifth Soros prosecutor to get the boot. (10/14) Image
But the backlash isn't over yet.

At least two more major Soros prosecutors are facing serious challenges this November.

The first, Oakland DA Pamela Price, is currently fighting for her political life against a recall campaign. And the momentum isn't on her side. (11/14) Image
And George Gascon, the notoriously radical DA for Los Angeles County, is facing a challenge from a tough-on-crime Republican (who is running as an independent) in the upcoming election.

The challenger, Nathan Hochman, leads Gascon in the polls by a nearly 2-to-1 margin. (12/14) Image
It remains to be seen how these two races will end. These are deep-blue cities, after all — Gascon has survived two recall elections already.

But the fact that there even were two recall elections in Gascon's four years in office shows just how deep this backlash goes. (13/14)Image
It's one thing for conservative parts of the country to be against soft-on-crime radicalism. That's normal.

But this revolt is taking place in the deepest-blue cities in America.

What happened in Portland last night is proof: On this issue, the Left is losing — badly. (14/14)

"We're going to have to do something dramatic to remove people from this country that are here illegally."

This is now the mainstream position among voters.

For months, the Left has tried to cast the GOP's position on immigration as "extreme."

But it hasn't worked. 🧵 (1/7)
The Left's response to these comments from @marcorubio yesterday was predictably hysterical.

But on this issue, Rubio — and Donald Trump — are far closer to the center of gravity in American public opinion than progressives.

Voters have moved right on immigration. (2/7)
Image
Image
The number of Americans who rank immigration among their top issues has surged over the past six months.

And U.S. public opinion is more hawkish on this issue than it has been in years. Support for Trump's border wall is higher than it has ever been before. (3/7) Image

Share this far and wide.

NFL star Harrison Butker is being attacked by the Left for telling the truth about feminism in this speech.

Harrison is a devout Catholic, a patriot, and a loving husband and father.

Let's show our support. 🇺🇸

(Thread…🧵)
Butker, the star kicker for the Kansas City Chiefs, hasn't shied away from his conservative beliefs. This week, his commencement speech at Benedictine College, he criticized gender ideology, feminism, abortion, and COVID tyranny.

The Left reacted exactly as you'd expect.
Image
Image
Butker has helped the Chiefs win three Super Bowls — and is ranked among the best kickers in NFL history.

He's also a devout pro-life Catholic who regularly attends Latin Mass with his family.

He spoke candidly about his faith in this 2019 @EWTN segment:

Radicals understand that symbols matter.

Our traditions, monuments and memorials are part of the story we tell about ourselves.

That's why they're targeting the symbols of the West: To transform a society, you have to transform the way it understands itself.

A quick 🧵 (1/9)
Image
Every civilization has a "mythology": We observe holidays and traditions; celebrate great heroes and deeds; and commemorate symbols and stories. It's what shapes our understanding of ourselves.

The Left wants to delegitimize that mythology—and replace it with their own. (2/9) Image
Today's attempt to deface the Magna Carta — the founding document of the Anglo-American political tradition — is the last in a long line of museum attacks.

Over the past two years, left-wing activists have targeted paintings from Monet, Van Gogh, and even the Mona Lisa. (3/9)

Elon is one of the last representatives of a distinctly American archetype: The eccentric maverick entrepreneur.

So much of American business today is just bureaucracy—what James Burnham famously described as "managerialism."

But @elonmusk built something radically new. (1/11)
In the 1940s, the political theorist James Burnham described a "managerial revolution" in advanced developed societies: Old, entrepreneurial capitalist economies were being replaced by a new system of technocrats who coordinated and "managed" the process of production. (2/11) Image
This was neither socialism (in which "the masses" collectively own the means of production) nor capitalism (in which the capitalists own them).

It was a bureaucratic in-between, led by a new ruling class of "managerial elites" in both big government and big business. (3/11) Image

Just remember: This is a policy choice.

America has achieved miraculous things. You think we can't clean up our cities? Of course we can.

It's not a matter of means; it's a matter of will.

We can stop living like this whenever we want.

Don't believe us? Check this out.🧵
It's easy to forget now, but in the 1970s and 1980s, American cities were even worse off than they are today.

Nowhere was that more true than New York City. Things were so bad that the Big Apple was nicknamed "Fear City."

The murder rate was 5 times higher than it is today.Image

"Trash littered the streets. Landlords abandoned buildings because they couldn't or wouldn't pay property taxes. Fires burned through the Bronx. President Gerald Ford's administration refused to help, spurring a famous headline that declared Ford to City: Drop Dead." @DailyMailImage

"Mostly Peaceful Protests" Are Back

When conservatives protest, the media is hysterical.

They attacked anti-lockdown protesters as racists — and fabricated smears about Tea Party patriots.

But when leftists protest, it's always "mostly peaceful."

Some recent examples...🧵Image
When the Tea Party protests kicked off in 2009, the media quickly got to work trying to discredit them.

Pundits like Anderson Cooper, Rachel Maddow, and David Shuster regularly attacked the movement in vulgar terms. (So much for "civility"). Even Obama got in on the action.


Image
Image
Image
Image
More to the point, journalists made it their mission to prove that the Tea Party was "racist." When they couldn't find the evidence, they just...made it up instead.

For example: The media reported that Tea Partiers spat and shouted racial slurs at black congressmen.

But...
