The people attacking or making fun of 17-year-old Gus Walz just don’t understand what JOY and LOVE are all about. They wish they had someone who cared as much about them as Gus does his dad.

Gus has a non verbal learning disability. He is neurodivergent and has ADHD. He is proud of his father. Now shut up already.

I’m glad to see people on both sides of the aisle pushing back on the filth that’s out there.

Treat people as if they are your own kids.

THREAD: 12 Videos that All Voters Should Watch Before Voting on Tuesday.

I want this thread to be the most shared on X over the next 3 days.

#1 Epstein says he was Trump’s “closest friend”.

#2 Model Stacey Williams says that Epstein took her to Trump’s home where Trump then sexually assaulted her.

#3 Trump says "[Liz Cheney] is a very dumb individual. She’s a radical war-hawk. Let’s put her there with the rifle standing there with nine barrels shooting at her. Let’s see how she feels about it, you know where the guns are trained at her face.”

The Russian Engine of Disinformation EXPOSED:

What I am about to tell you with 47 days until the election is incredibly important for EVERYONE who cares about America to understand.

Please share this thread because it won’t get amplified as much as the Foreign lies do:

The Russian government plays a central role in funding and orchestrating these disinformation campaigns.

They don’t act alone, though. One of the main players in this effort is an agency called the Social Design Agency, or SBA. It’s one of several Russian-backed organizations that specialize in creating and distributing propaganda that serves Russian geopolitical interests.
How does it all work?

Now, the way this machine works is fascinating—and deeply troubling. Let’s take state-run media outlets like Russia Today, or RT, for example. These outlets are technically news organizations, but make no mistake: their real purpose is to serve as a vehicle for Russia’s disinformation.

What RT does is fund and promote individuals who already have influence—both inside and outside of the United States. Here’s the kicker: most of these Americans don’t even realize they’re part of this scheme. They unknowingly amplify the exact messages Russia wants them to. Why? Because these messages align with their existing beliefs, their political leanings, or the narratives they want to push.”Image
The role of Non-Americans:
But there’s more to this. While Americans are, in many cases, oblivious to the role they’re playing, non-Americans who participate in these campaigns often do so with full knowledge of what’s happening.

Why?

Because they can. The laws in their countries allow it.

Let’s break that down. Here in the U.S., if you knowingly work for a foreign power to influence public opinion, you’re supposed to register as a foreign agent. There’s legal accountability for that. But in countries where Russian influence is strong, or where laws are weaker, these operatives can work openly with Russian organizations without facing the same legal hurdles.
These foreign influencers—who often have a large following in the U.S. thanks to social media—serve as the first line of attack. They create or amplify the misinformation, often posting it on platforms like Telegram or less-regulated social media channels.Image

Now That the Democratic National Convention has concluded and RFK Jr. is out of the race, who will you vote for?
After the first 1,000 votes, Harris is up 76% to 23% Image
After 2,000 votes, Harris remains up, this time 72% to 27%.

After the initial results being mainly from my personal followers, my haters are now reaching out to their right-leaning followers to try and change the results. Image

Since Trump’s name has appeared in Jeffrey Epstein’s flight logs 69 times, I thought that I’d post a thread with ALL VERIFIED IMAGES of Trump and Epstein or Maxwell.

I have personally verified that all these images are real. Feel free to reshare and fact check me.

It’s important that America sees these.Image
