🚨 Lisa Cook is the latest Democrat “star” to blow up in their faces.

Mortgage fraud. Fake scholarship. DEI tokenism.

And Trump is using Saul Alinsky’s own Rule 13 against her—turning the Left’s playbook on itself. 🧵 Image
Image
2/ Remember Rule 13 from Rules for Radicals:

👉 “Pick the target.
👉 Freeze it.
👉 Personalize it.
👉 Polarize it.”

The Left used it for decades against Republicans too timid to fight back.

Trump? He’s their kryptonite. Cook is just the latest. Image
3/ Lisa Cook was Biden’s DEI hire at the Fed.

Her “big” academic paper that claimed lynching stopped Black patents in 1900?

🔻 Turns out, her database just stopped counting.
🔻 The real number of patents? Up to 70x higher.

She didn't bother to check her work. It was junk. Image
4/ But she wasn’t just incompetent.

She pulled a mortgage scam—claiming MULTIPLE homes as “primary residences” while actually renting them out.

That's a crime. And yes, that's a Fed governor committing mortgage fraud.

You can’t make this up. But Democrats are defending her? Image
5/ And lying to banks so she could pay cheaper rates, Cook voted to keep interest rates high—blocking millions of Americans from buying homes at all.

Why? Politics.

She lined her pockets while crushing ordinary families to "get Trump". Image
6/ Normally, Democrats would cut their losses and dump someone this radioactive.

Instead, they’re doubling down—choosing this hill to die on.

It’s Claudine Gay 2.0: incompetence + corruption defended in the name of DEI.

They can't help themselves. And Trump knows it. Image
7/ Lisa Cook isn’t just a scandal. She’s a symbol—of woke rot, fraud, & failure.

The more Democrats defend her, the more they prove Trump right:

❌ Government unions & DEI hires serve themselves.
❌ They don’t serve the people.
❌ They’re destroying trust in our institutions. Image
8/ Bottom line:

Lisa Cook is political kryptonite—just not for Trump.

Democrats can cut her loose, or they can go down with her.

Either way, Trump wins.

🚨 REAGAN THE VISIONARY

The “experts” told Reagan the Soviet Union was forever.

The “experts” told Trump peace in the Middle East was impossible without solving the Palestinian question.

Both men proved the experts dead wrong. 🧵 Image
2/ In the late 1970s, America’s foreign policy was built on détente — appeasing Communism, ignoring human rights, and hoping to “manage” the Soviet Union forever.

Jimmy Carter even kissed Brezhnev at the signing of SALT II.

That was the Uniparty establishment’s vision. Image
3/ Then came Reagan.

He didn’t whisper about “managing decline.” He called the Soviet Union what it was: an Evil Empire.

He predicted Marxism-Leninism, not freedom, would be "thrown on the ash-heap of history."

The global elite called him reckless. A warmonger. A fool.Image

🚨 BREAKING: Trump just renamed the Pentagon.

The Department of Defense is now officially the Department of War.

Which, among other things, is a lot more honest.

And the Left is already losing its mind. 🧵Image
2/ Trump: “Defense. What are we, defense? Why are we defense? It used to be called the Department of War, and it had a stronger sound. We won WWI, WWII, everything. Now we’re just defenders? I don’t know.”

🔥 He's not wrong. We've lost all but one war since the change. Image
3/ From 1789–1947, the Army was under the Department of War. The Navy was separate. The Marines were/are part of it. The Air Force was part of the Army.

Then Truman merged them all into a new Department of Defense. "Efficiency."

But Washington forgot our military’s purpose. Image

🚨 Every time Trump acts, the script is the same:

Obama judge. Biden judge. Sometimes a Clinton judge.

Verdict? “Illegal! Unconstitutional! Fascist!”

But don't take it too seriously, because weeks later, the higher courts reverse them. Over and over and over again.

🧵 Image
Image
2/ Want to send the National Guard to restore order in a burning city?

Eisenhower, Kennedy, LBJ did it — praised as civil rights heroes.

Trump does it? Obama/Biden judges scream: “Fascist!” Image
3/ Want fair trade?

For decades the world ripped us off with tariffs, hidden taxes, & currency manipulation.

Trump changes it. U.S. coffers fill with hundreds of billions, industry returns.

Obama/Biden judges: “Illegal!” Even though Obama & Biden imposed tariffs too. Image

🚨 BOMBSHELL: Christianity is making a comeback in the LAST place you’d expect…

Silicon Valley.

As tech elites try to build an all-powerful AI “god,” they’re also rediscovering the real God. 🧵 Image
2/ For years, San Francisco and the Valley mocked faith.

✅ You could brag about LSD trips.
✅ You could be “poly” & get applause.
❌ But say you’re a Christian? You were shunned.

Now? The omertà is breaking. And tech leaders are openly talking about Jesus. Image
3/ Meet the Acts 17 Collective — “Acknowledging Christ in Technology and Society.”

It’s not a fringe group. It’s packed with:

👉 Google engineers
👉 Silicon Valley founders
👉 Investors running BILLIONS

And they’re putting Jesus back in the conversation. Image

🚨 GO WOKE, GO BROKE 🚨

Jaguar Land Rover rebranded itself with woke slogans like “delete ordinary” & “live vivid.”

Now it’s shut down by a massive cyberattack, mocked by hackers, and facing chaos in its factories.

You can’t make this stuff up. 🧵 Image
2/ This used to be a company that ran ads with lines like:

➡️ “The 12-cylinder animal”
➡️ “Nobody’s pussycat”

Bold. Rugged. Masculine.

Now? Neon catwalks, drag-queen haircuts, and a Barbie-pink Range Rover.

The brand forgot it makes cars! Worse: it forgot who buys them. Image
3/ Executives poured millions into “diversity rebranding”…

…but forgot about cybersecurity.

Hackers exploited an obvious flaw, breached systems TWICE in 6 months, and mocked JLR publicly:

“It was EASY.”

That’s not just embarrassing. It’s dangerous. Image

🚨 Poland has its own Trump.

Yesterday, President Trump welcomed Karol Nawrocki—the “Polish Trump”—to the White House.

He’s young, tough, Christian, and unapologetically populist. If Nawrocki is the future of Poland, the future is bright.

THREAD🧵 Image
2/ The meeting wasn’t just handshakes.

F-16s and F-35s flew in missing man formation over the White House—honoring Polish pilot Maj. Maciej “Slab” Krakowian, who died in a crash last week.

A powerful symbol of U.S.–Polish brotherhood. 🇺🇸🤝🇵🇱 Image
3/ Nawrocki is an historian (PhD), a staunch Catholic, and a fighter.

He campaigned on Plan 21:

❌ No to illegal aliens
❌ No to the euro
✅ Yes to nuclear energy
✅ Yes to Christian values & Polish sovereignty

Sound familiar?
