I know, right!? He is a word Master!! Some of his sentences are seared into my brain like the poems and songs I learned in elementary school. For example, during the congressional hearings on antisemitism when Claudine Gay was testifying on behalf of Harvard. He described her as "Prancing Prettily into the Propeller blades". I laughed so hard when I read that at 5 something in the morning it woke my snoring husband up. I still laugh when I think of it.

I don't know if I'm overthinking this, but it seems to *me* that his use of "Pituffik" and italicizing it in,

"Replacement Space Force Colonel Shawn Lee has now assumed base command, and will presumably keep the dogs of maternal instinct on a tight leash. Pituffik."

was intended to be the phonetic sibling of "Perrfect" where you trill the Rs with an Eastern European accent.

That's how my mind's ear read it, and if that's how he intended it, then yeah, he is a brilliant and subtle wordsmith.

Nationally, maybe. But locally they are stronger than ever. Our 2 conservative SB candidates in my district lost in a disastrous outcome on Tue. Between them and their PAC, the 2 lefties raised 2X the money, had dozens of volunteers out hitting doors every weekend and large packs of keyboard warriors attacking and lying about our candidates non-stop. And a segment of our base attacking one of our candidates for not being conservative enough. (true she was weak, but better than the 2 nut jobs who beat her). I couldn't even find enough volunteers to cover half the polls on election day - last year we covered 28/32 of them. My hubby was at one poll by himself, and the lefties had EIGHT PEOPLE there.

A conservative PAC in St. Louis/St. Charles area backing candidates lost all 13 races. Of the total of 14 candidates our KC-area We the People group supported, 7 won, 2 won by less than 20 votes. Lowest turnout in 4 years and tax increases and/or bonds on the ballot all passed, which tells me Conservatives stayed home.

Had some ask me for candidate recos in Cass County, just south of us. Reached out to the Cass County chair and was told there were NO Conservatives on the ballot at the 2 school districts in question. And Cass is a solid red county, unlike the purple one I live in.

They may be disorganized and infighting nationally, but here, they are united, mad, and fighting. And Conservatives are largely snoozing.

LOCAL MATTERS!!

Couldn't agree more. I live in the SF East Bay, a very liberal bastion of California. However, there is also a large (and growing) contingent of conservatives, but we are not as well organized as the Left. I get so frustrated with our GOP Central Committee in our county because it's a bunch of meetings where not much gets done. I was asked to run for my district (which is equivalent to a precinct) in 2024, but my schedule wouldn't allow it. I am now praying about running in 2026.

Donna in MO's avatar

I ran for committee in 2022 but lost as I was too busy campaigning for others to campaign for myself, but my main goal was to unseat a woman who bashed a lot of conservatives in public and on social media and she decided not to run. Decided to stay out of party politics as my thing is really helping run campaigns. New people who step up to run often have no idea how to run a campaign and fly by the seat of their pants. Our committee chair is really good at outreach though and I do volunteer - we have a R party booth at every major festival that allows political booths and sadly it's the same 20 or so people who volunteer. It WAS awesome to see how many young people (under 30) came to our booths last Fall to take selfies with our 6 foot cardboard Trump. Gives me hope for the future. But bottom line, there are lots of ways to get involved outside the formal party system.

There’s lots to learn about being a candidate.

Wow, well we don't have to collect signatures in MO. You just have to file to run and sign an affidavit that your taxes are current and that you reside in the district you are running in, although they don't vet that. In the past we've had a lefty candidate delinquent in property taxes, and one who lived outside the district, although filed listing her soon to be ex-husband's address. So opposition research is key.

Yes, Jeanne, definitely run or if there is a vacancy beforehand you can always be appointed or be an alternate. Your influence matters and you can help effect change for good. I’m currently an alternate on the GOP central committee in Marin which recently successfully became majority America first patriots. There is now a vacancy in my district so it looks like I’ll be appointed a full member soon. Part of me is weary of the uphill battle here in CA, the state GOP is corrupt, but there are also a lot of great patriots dedicating their time that need our support. 🙏🇺🇸👍

I was mostly involved in local races the last ~15 years but 2020 spurred me to jump into the party stuff as our state and county party was weak and feckless too. But rather than try to change from the inside a friend formed a 'conservative' (not Republican) grassroots group in 2020 who backed candidates who the 'party' didn't support in the primaries. Meetings in 2021 had as many as 300 in attendance every month, more than the 6 'Republican' groups had at their meetings in total. (although, sadly, that number has dropped off this year, and it's closer to 150 as complacency is setting in). Some of our supported candidates won in 2022 and others had strong showings which helped with momentum to bring more solid conservatives into the party committee. A couple of old school squish Republicans were unseated for the state committee chairs at the state convention in 2024, although an effort to reform the platform got overturned on a technicality. There is still too many of the old guard as many of them are big donors and money is the mother's milk of politics, but it is definitely better than it was in 2020. Our county party had it's annual Lincoln Reagan fundraiser dinner last night, and the highlight of the evening was a panel of J6ers who told their stories. Some lost literally everything, but NONE of them had any regrets. One even joked, 'at least I look good in orange'. They would never have been invited a few years ago.

Deborah, because the faker Rs are a club. Keep trying, attend the county GOP central committee meetings, get other conservatives to attend. My county had fake Rs but a group of tireless America first patriots fought hard, created an election integrity committee, prepared a comprehensive report that proved 2020 election fraud, ran for central committee seats for 2025, and won. We are now considered a success story across other counties in California to emulate. There’s a great book by Daniel Schultz called How to get into the real ballgame of politics where you live. It educates on how these central committees work, can be so influential, and help get good people elected.

well you don't say where you are, but I have heard that in solid red counties, that it is more of a club than a true party. Party committee meetings are open to the public, at least in our county. I just show up even though I am not on the committee. There are 6 different R clubs that meet monthly at various times and dates. We do have a big active R party here as we are purple but a lot of participation died after Trump won. Our local 'grassroots' (not affiliated with the R party as some people don't like the R's/ are more libertarian) group, that had 250 people attending last year now has half that at the monthly meetings.

The best way is to reach out to the candidates themselves. At least here, local races file right before Christmas then they have 3 months to run like h*ll for a first week of April election. And here, Jan and Feb are typically cold and snowy. This year we dealt with high winds off and on all through late Feb and early March that shredded banners and blew away yard signs. So there were 3 volunteers just doing sign replacements. Need people who can do campaign videos. Help with door knocking especially in March when the average voter actually starts paying attention. Hand address targeted postcards. Host a meet and greet or fundraiser. If you reach out to a candidate offering to help and they blow you off, try again. Many local ones are new at this and need all the help they can get and are overwhelmed and may not even know what help they need. Got one of ours a speaking engagement with a big group. And he forgot to ask for volunteers or money!?

It was funny - my son needed to attend a council meeting as part of his 'citizenship in the community' badge. We just so happened to attend the night of a conceptual presentation by a developer to bring a Lego Land to our town. My son was over the moon over Legos and he loved the idea. So we started attending meetings and he even got up and spoke during public comments. But the city paid tens of thousands of dollars for consultants, for this development as well as a couple of others, that produced boilerplate reports that were crap, and it was obvious that some of the the sitting council members did even read, let alone question the reports or their assumptions, or even the developer packets. I do business planning research (and other research projects) for a living and would have done 2X the job for half of what they paid. Started calling and emailing my council reps and pointing out questions they should ask, holes in the presentations, etc.

Sadly for my son, the Lego Land proposal went down in flames, and he quit going with me, but I stayed involved. (at least back then the council balked at the big incentive request which is not the case today, the developer crowd owns the council these days). Ran in 2018 against a long time incumbent but came up short. Haven't run again as my mom's health started failing and being a caretaker, working and being a candidate is just too much, but took my 'lessons learned' and apply to help other candidates. Had some good wins, and some bruising losses, there is always more to learn, especially as our town is shifting from red to purple.

My inbox/texts/messenger feed is constantly filled with stories and videos with breathless commentary/clickbait people send me with almost all of it relating to national issues. There is little the average Joe can do to move the needle on this stuff.

I did get the word out and we packed the chamber when the city proposed spending a bunch of tax dollars on a DEI commissioner and other crap. Between emails sent, public comments and a bunch of eyes on the council members, the measure failed 5-4. Wins and losses re: some 15-minute city developments, harder to fight big $ campaign donors. Bottom line: it is much easier to make a difference/move the needle locally than doing anything about Congress and president Cabbage the last 4 years. I have the cell phone numbers of all of the conservative SB and CC members and some will even ask the questions I send them during meetings. (even though looking at their phones during meetings may or may not be a good thing, lol.)

And many pols get their start locally, so stopping leftists from getting those spots hurts their career ladders.

You nailed it. I am probably going to step out of SB and just focus on city council next year. The PAC has been over-run with armchair quarterbacks (mostly millennials) who want to go to meetings and be in charge and not DO anything. Either way, I don't think we had a chance due to the super motivated big mad D's in an area that is rapidly trending purple/blue. Trump won here in both 2020 and 2024 but it was a lot closer - lost 15 precincts (vs 4 in 2020) and his margin of victory was lower in every precinct but one.

Our local R party boomed during covid--lots of engagement and people really went to work! It took a year, but we had local, state candidates in the Nov 24 election--after a long drought. None of them won. We have a 50/25/25 Dem/Unaffliated/Rep ratio in our county (college town) in a very Red state. Lots of outside money in these races, plus the current leadership in the county is 100% Dem and one or two RINOs--so they created commission districts (and at-large for the city) that pretty much guarantee Dems will always win. It's discouraging. At the state level, we had some wins thanks to our county turnout which was gratifying.

Sounds like Lawrence, KS? Yes Jackson County (MO) changed the charter to put in at-large districts which guarantees a D majority. Eastern part of the county is red, but the middle is purple and the KCMO part is solid blue (Trump got 21% in 2024). So, 6 geographic districts - 2 that are solid red, and 3 at-large seats means 7 D's and 2 R's in the county legislature. My dad grew up in rural KS and still have a smattering of relatives there. They are a different 'brand' of Republican and much more establishment types, although they held their noses and voted for Trump in 2024. MO is odd too.

They have had years to perfect this. They have also spent several decades infiltrating the schools. On top of that, you have outside NGOs paying people to walk.

We lost our last election to two progressives for city council. One of them campaigned on lies. (Surprise!) The other one campaigned on… lies. She was an incumbent who spent her entire last two years voting against the common sense majority. Then, when she was running, she took credit for everything the majority she opposed accomplished. Now, the yahoos are wanting to defund the police and a bunch of other crap.

In 2022, I ran for school board. I didn’t win. (My gain was the city’s loss.) There were two other common sense candidates and three far left crazies. The crazies won because there is a well-established Democrat Socialist Party masquerading as the Democratic Party. Regardless, the chickens are coming home to roost now. Our district is nearly bankrupt because of their frivolous spending. Parents are seeing it and taking their kids to other districts. The schools are crumbling.

Honestly, I was born and raised in CA. I’m fourth generation. (My daughter is 5th.) My husband and I are talking about moving in a few years unless something changes. I’m involved in our local politics now because I have to be, but I am tired of being one of the few voices to speak up. I can only carry them so much before I’m ready to walk away.

Good for you for running! I ran for city council in 2018, lost to a longtime incumbent who was a soft R. It's a grind, for sure.

But their kids are grown and now live in TX and OK, both conservatives, and suspect they will move when they retire in a few years.

Lazy, or indifferent, or afraid of the crazy left. Who will stalk them, try to get them fired, harass their family members and so on. The left eats, sleeps and breathes this stuff. Conservatives are involved in their church, working, coaching their kid's soccer team, etc. I didn't plug in much til my kids were HS age, but at least I always voted and did my research. 15% turnout when Trump won 52% says conservatives stayed home, as we lost by double digits.

The Fed's mandate, by law, is stable prices. When calculating inflation, the 2% is an exponent, and exponents are not at all stable. Exponents run away to infinity.

Article 88, provides “Any commissioned officer who uses contemptuous words against the President, . . . in which he is on duty or present shall be punished as a court-martial may be instituted.”

General Milley grossly violated Article 88 in his self-serving speech criticizing President Trump pandering to the Trump-deranged choir of Castroite castratos in late 2020 in which he also defended the Burnings,Lootings and Murders of that summer as being mere exercises of First Amendment rights. He should still be court-martialed and busted in rank down to PFC and pension and other benefits revoked.

Slavery is a mental condition and I see our government has continued to use that to their advantage. Enslaving people to living on a government check to next check and thinking they are truly living a free life. Eventually the checks get smaller as fewer people go to work and eventually checks will end as all socialist societies have done in the past.

Maybe the President should invite him to the WH. Michigan’s Gov. Whitmer was there last week. She’s part of a bipartisan governor’s counsel on manufacturing and environment, (something like that). We all wondered why he selected her. She can’t stand him and from all appearances he doesn’t think much of her. She is term limited, so a hotly contested race in 2026. But she gave a speech to some Dem group in DC complaining about the tariffs and how bad Trump is. Later she is at the WH and invited to stand in a corner during a Trump EO signing/press conference. He singles her out during the press conference and says what a fine job she is doing. She looked absolutely mortified. Played! Afterward she tried to explain that she had no idea she was being included in a press conference, but had gone to the WH to discuss aid for the devastating ice storms that had hit northern Michigan in early April. That was the first time any of us heard this. She was in Spain during the ice storm on a junket. Almost like she knew…..

Anyway, the President played her like a fiddle.

The thing you've gotta understand about tariffs is that they change behavior, and not just in the respective countries. US manufacturers now realize they simply must re-shore production, and they need to start today. Their Chinese counterparts are hearing war drums and feeling impending doom. China's evil leadership is also getting a message. They've acted in bad faith and committed acts of cyber war on us, and we're done pretending they're our friends. The US is the largest market, and China is the largest producer. We will remain the largest market, but will no doubt reclaim considerable production from China. I like our odds.

I know no one is promised anything in life, for instance that the business climate will be stable for ever and ever, Amen. But, the talks of tariffs, then no tariffs, then paused tariffs: it is certainly destabilizing, for stock market, but also, and much more so, for small businesses that sell China made products. It is almost without fail the "little people" who bear the brunt of uncertainty (lockdowns and "nonessential" businesses). I come across people affected by such things, and they have needed to make the hard decisions--not how much gas and food to get, but whether they should get gas OR food. It is tough to see this and not feel empathy. I am fortunate not to be in that situation. Can there not be clear signals from on high? What is the problem with wiping out tariffs across the board, reducing regulations, and thus creating a friendly business climate where we have to beat them down with a stick for flocking here 🤔 😉 😳 😜 🤣 ?

Re-Shore Production: I totally agree with the OP (Who is John Galt anyway?) Business leaders need to meet with the administration AND the Congress. If president Trump allowed Bill Mahr to speak, it is a near certainty that he would allow so called American Business to speak. The meeting has to be with the Congress also because otherwise the businesses will consider whatever they have done as temporary.

I would like to see a reverse Congressional hearing where we the people get to ask the Congress why they did the things that led to the offshoring in the first place. I realize that from time-to-time the proletariat is allowed an audience with the "Honorables" but the Congress treat it like they are in power instead of answering to us. They abuse and cutoff witnesses and only push their own agenda.

Perhaps in this reverse hearing, the Democrats can be questioned by Conservatives and the Republicans by Liberals. I doubt the later would have much to disagree but still. Make it a debate format where the questioners only get to ask questions and can interrupt if the politician is not answering the question but not for anything else.

I would like to interview judges myself but not in "Their" courtroom and under their control. It is not a personal dislike. I have not been before a judge or a jury. I would like to do this only because that seems to be the only branch of government that does not answer to "we the people" in any way.
