"That blizzard of cash may not have been as important for Republican primary voters as Trump's hatred of Massie.

Still, it helped make the 4th Congressional District race the most expensive House primary in history, with overall spending reaching $32 million, topping the 2024 New York Democratic primary in which AIPAC's super PAC aided Westchester County Executive George Latimer in ousting then-Rep. Jamaal Bowman.

"For 14 years, those S.O.B.s in Washington tried to buy my vote," Massie said in his concession speech Tuesday night. "Why did the race get so expensive? Because they decided to buy the seat."

He had more harsh words for Israel and Trumpers... to the effect that Israel also buys free abortions in Israel, just like they bought this Seat, and most of MAGA doesn't understand that (a GOP hypocrisy).

AIPAC will throw their weight and money around in California too.

Guess who AIPAC-favorite Nancy Pelosi (D-CA) is not endorsing in the race to succeed her?

Of course.

The non-AIPAC recipient.


We will hear the same bleating from the same sources about Saikat Chakrabarti (D): "He's too liberal," "he has no experience," "he's not even a real Democrat."

Blah-blah-blah.

Colonial Powers don't Stop or Apologize.

Trump is Apparently the Fuhrer to about 35% of the Country.

He's Consolidating Congress as Much as he Can.

If they Lose Congressional Majorities will Trump just Ignore Congress and will the SCOTUS Back His Play?

Wartime Fuhrer,Supreme Warlord....?

Trump's too Lazy, and Lazy Minded, to Play that.

He Wants to Get PAID.

Like First Trillionaire Paid.

That's his Kink...

I Think.

Massie: I would have come out sooner but I had to call my opponent to concede and it took a while to find him in Tel Aviv.

Former D/NCTC Joe Kent warned us about massive AIPAC foreign interference in US governance on the Young Turks TV show/podcast a few months ago.

Years ago House Leader Nancy Pelosi (D-Israel) famously said "With you Mr President, all roads lead to Russia." [sic]

And how many roads lead to Tel Aviv?

So, dinosaur Democrats, keep pointing at the Kremlin and never at Israel whenever there's a discussion about foreign interference in US elections.

Not everyone is asleep.

Thomas Massie's Defeat Will Tighten Trump's Grip on the GOP
The MAGA base proves again in Kentucky that Trump's blessing is everything. But beyond that base, it's the kiss of death.

Evangelical Christians, mostly Southern Baptists, and fundamentalists are the ones who've been solidifying and grifting off of Israel's power for fifty years now.

Great graphic in 7.

To be "Awake" is Antisemitic.

Lists of such Miscreants are being compiled to protect the Innocent.

Deep Slumber is the only Safety.

Unless you're a Muslim. Then there's NO Safety anywhere.

Jewish Supremacy is not to be Observed or Commented on.

Names are being taken.

Republicans are morons.

They had one congressman trying to root out pedophiles from the government and they voted him out for an Israeli sycophant.

We are being controlled by Israel.
