Throwing a Life Ring 🛟
To appease their base, Democrats are giving a floundering Trump a huge gift.
Last day‼️: We’ve heard from roughly 1,000 of you in our War Notes survey.
🙏Thank you as always for your candid responses — we hear you!
🚨Friday is the last day for your responses to be counted.
‼️Click HERE to let us know what we are doing right and what needs to change — we read every one!
The California money train 🚆: California’s new high speed rail from Los Angeles to San Francisco will now cost $126 billion — for those keeping score, that’s three times the original cost
The videos📸: It sure does look cool and about 5.5 million people fly that route every year.
The facts✅: After $15 billion they have built some support structures for the railway, but not a single mile of the track has been laid
But🤷: Let’s be fair and assume they can actually build it for $126 billion.
🚆And for that $126 billion, you could have a high speed train, which everyone will pay for
OR 👀: You could buy airline tickets for all those 5.5 million people every year for the next 170 years!!!
Yes ☑️: you read that right.
“Thank you, Teachers”📚: Our good friend and bestselling author James Patterson joins us tonight about his new book on teachers.
Reality🧑🏫: No profession plays a bigger role in our country’s future.
Sad reality👎: No profession seems to have drifted farther from true north
Example📘: This AP government text book shows Hitler and President Trump as equally authoritarian
More📖: Many schools in Chicago don’t have a single kid reading at grade level
Even more 🤦: We could do entire shows on the insanity of gender ideology and Marxist indoctrination in our schools
Flip side‼️: For many kids, their teachers and coaches fill roles parents can’t or won’t.
Self-Destructive at Best‼️
🤷Democrats who think they are going to win the midterms have just given Trump a huge favor
🤦They stopped talking about affordability and prices — and instead have said to the majority of Americans who voted for Trump, that the most important thing to do is throw the guy YOU voted into office, out of office.
‼️Donald Trump is in a tough place —
48 hours into the ceasefire — By no objective measure is the Strait of Hormuz open.
🗣️Politically, he’s in a civil war with with the loudest voices in his own party — today he put out a Truth Social blasting Megyn Kelly and Tucker Carlson
✏️Trump: “I know why Tucker Carlson, Megyn Kelly, Candace Owens, and Alex Jones have all been fighting me for years, especially by the fact that they think it is wonderful for Iran, the Number One State Sponsor of Terror, to have a Nuclear Weapon — Because they have one thing in common, Low IQs.”
🤦His vice president is doing everything possible to tell Republicans and the world he was and is against the war.
📈Food prices, gas prices and air fares continue to pinch American consumers, making affordability the number one issue on every Americans mind
Pile on‼️: All of the above weaken him in his negotiations with Iran.
For Trump to get an acceptable deal with Iran, they must believe he’s willing to restart the war — doing so gets harder by the day
🚨If Trump gets a bad deal or no deal — all of the above problems only get worse.
🤷Now, Trump has been in far worse places politically and come back —
💭For example, think after January 6th
🛟And what Democrats are doing — they are throwing Trump a life line — not even a life line…a lifeboat.
🤦Dozens upon dozens of Democrats have lined up demanding impeachment or “invoking the 25th amendment”
🗣️Here for example is House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries, D-N.Y.:
🎤“Judiciary Committee Democrats are going to brief the entire caucus about the different accountability mechanisms that are available to us, including — or available to the country, I should say — including, but not limited to, the 25th Amendment.”
🤦Isn’t Jeffries a lawyer?
🤓Has he read the 25th amendment? — Congress has nothing to do with it.
🗣️Then there is Rep Seth Moulton, D-Mass., who wants to impeach Trump on principle
🎤Moulton: “Add it to the long list of impeachable offensives on top of all the just blatant corruption practice by this president and his family… But on principle, do I think Donald Trump should be impeached? Absolutely.”
🤷Maybe he too should read the Constitution that says a president can only be impeached for high crimes and misdemeanors
Be real‼️: We all know what’s happening — Democrats get likes, retweets and cable news hits for “fighting Trump”
📉Never mind less than two years ago, Trump got more votes than Vice President Kamala Harris. Even Hilary Clinton knows building the Democratic platform around “Trump sucks” is a dumb idea —
📰Hillary wrote an op-ed in The New York Times headlined: “Hillary Clinton: How to Fix Affordability”
👀We have seen how this worked out before — the first two impeachments didn’t work out well.
Gov. Ron DeSantis would have been the 2024 nominee had the Biden Department of Justice not indicted Trump.
🤦And now here we go again.
WHY❓: Tonight, we ask Rep. Linda Sánchez, D-Calif, and Rep. Teresa Leger Fernández, D-N.M. if Democrats can’t learn the basic lessons of politics.
Bonus➕: Democrats face an increasingly militant left
Evidence📄: Their refusal to reject the likes of Hasan Piker who once said America deserved 9/11.
Between a Bully and a Zealot 👀
‼️Militarily, Trump can restart this war whenever — but politically, it’s unclear if he can.
✈️Vice President JD Vance heads to Pakistan for negotiations with Iran and the success of these negotiations depends on the credible threat of violence —
💥The only way Iranians will give up their nukes and stop killing their people is from the credible threat of violence
☑️Yes, Trump has the credible threat of violence with the strongest military in the war
🚨The issue is:
🚓Trump is handcuffed politically right now and has other things to worry about
📅We will be two weeks closer to the midterms
📉He’s losing momentum
📉Less support in Congress
Prices are still high
There is a civil war in his party.
‼️Trump has many many worries — Iran only has to worry about surviving
Last night📱: My mother called me last night to say she saw this as a fight between “a Bully and a Zealot”
🤦You can decide if you agree on the framing — but if you do, the zealot always wins that war.
The bully gets bored and moves on — the zealot stays committed.
Facts☑️: The Iranians are still zealots — the “new regime” talking point is laughable
We’ll ask Iranian advocate Dr Sheila Nazarian about that and why the promised Iranian revolution hasn’t happened.
Tonight📺: Jennifer Gavito and Jack Posobiec on whether Trump has the political will to restart the war and, more importantly, whether the Iranians believe he does.
