Surprise!

BREAKING: George W. Bush's brother Neil just dropped a BOMB on MAGA by proudly announcing that he voted for James Talarico in the Texas Senate race. This just gave Republicans a flashing green light to vote blue... "I have never posted a political message on Facebook not wanting to offend friends whose views may be very different than mine. I'm breaking that tradition because I voted early today, and I voted for James Talarico for the United States Senate," Bush, the child of the late President George H.W. Bush wrote on Facebook. "My vote was motivated by two things: deep concern about Ken Paxton's record and genuine admiration for the character and principles I see in James Talarico," he continued. "I have been deeply troubled by Paxton's conduct as Texas Attorney General, particularly his decision to challenge the results of the 2020 presidential election in other states in an effort to help Donald Trump remain in power. I believe that effort was an affront to our democratic institutions and the peaceful transfer of power. My concerns about his judgment and conduct are hardly mine alone. He was impeached by the Republican-controlled Texas House, although subsequently acquitted by the Texas Senate." "More broadly, I believe Donald Trump and those who have enabled him have done enormous damage to the Republican Party. I worry about a political culture in which loyalty to an individual takes precedence over loyalty to principle, and where those who hold power begin to believe they are no longer accountable." "But my vote today was about much more than opposition to Ken Paxton." "I've never met James Talarico, but I have been enormously impressed by the way he approaches complicated and controversial issues. He speaks with respect, seeks common ground, and seems genuinely interested in bringing people together rather than driving them apart. His faith appears to be a deeply rooted source of humility, compassion, and conviction rather than a political weapon." I see in him the qualities I admire most in public servants: integrity, civility, humility, and a willingness to listen to those with whom he disagrees. My impression is that he is a principled, pragmatic leader who understands that public office is a responsibility to serve, not an entitlement to power." "I have been a Republican for most of my life, and I still believe deeply in many traditional Republican principles. But character matters more than party affiliation. Our democracy depends on leaders who respect our institutions, tell the truth, accept accountability, and seek to unite rather than divide." "Today, I voted against a style of politics that I believe has damaged our country. More importantly, I voted for the kind of character and leadership I hope will help heal it," he concluded. Bravo, Mr. Bush! We commend you for speaking out boldly during these crucial midterm elections. Ken Paxton is a stone-cold crook who was impeached for bribery by his own party as state attorney general. He has zero interest in serving the people of Texas if he wins and will instead work to line his own pockets, accumulate personal power, and rubber-stamp Trump's destructive agenda. Meanwhile, James Talarico is a devout Christian who is committed to fighting for better healthcare, an end to pointless wars, livable wages, more housing construction to restore the American Dream, and banning Congressional stock trading. The Bush family still wields a great deal of influence in Texas, so this announcement is sure to cause political shockwaves. If you're a Republican who genuinely loves this country, it's time to cross the aisle and vote for James Talarico. Please ❤️ and share to thank Neil Bush!

Regardless of opinion, We are hip deep in a massive transfer of cash and wealth from The United States to Israel.

Trump planned his diesel betrayal weeks ago, and yesterday's diesel deal with Putin was a staged event. The vessel MINERVA ZEN departed St. Petersburg on September 22 and has been heading toward the East Coast of the United States ever since (destination: Wilmington, North Carolina). Its arrival is scheduled for October 11. Yesterday, October 9, Trump announced a “diesel deal” following a phone call with Putin, and the U.S. Treasury Department immediately eased sanctions on Russian diesel. By that point, the vessel had already been at sea for almost three weeks. The chartering, loading, and route must therefore have been arranged in advance, several weeks earlier. The public announcement and the circumstances surrounding the phone call look like a staged presentation of an operation that was already underway. Whether the cargo is actually diesel will become clear only during unloading. In any case, the logistics suggest that the course had been set long before yesterday's “deal.” I would add that, by now, it seems obvious to everyone that this is not really about diesel. It is about setting a precedent — an attempt to return to business as usual with the Russians. Until now, the Trump administration had still adhered to the condition that Russia's war against Ukraine must be settled first. But not anymore. This is an attempt at Anchorage 2.0. But once again, there is no guarantee of success. The United Kingdom has already spoken out against it. Others will join in...

🚨 BREAKING 🌍 | Reports circulating online claim that an Israeli aircraft crashed in the UAE after allegedly being hit by an Iranian surface-to-air missile while attempting an emergency landing at Dubai International Airport. ✈️💥🇮🇱🇦🇪🇮🇷

Ansarallah intel is OFF THE CHARTS. The Saudi Airbus precisely hit by an Ansarallah ballistic missile at King Khalid Airport in Riyadh was carrying a special delegation of warmongers, including members from US, Israel, Pakistan and Turkiye.

BREAKING: This is HUGE. Iranian officials say they’re preparing to release voicemails left to them by Donald Trump and if they do so, the political fallout could be explosive. They claim Trump begged, threatened and even tried to bribe Iranian officials to reopen the Strait of Hormuz—because soaring gas prices were becoming a political nightmare ahead of the midterms. Not national security. Not principle. Not peace. Just a desperate scramble to keep voters in line until November 3. If those recordings exist, America may finally hear what desperation sounds like when the cameras are off and Trump can't control the narrative. How humiliating.

NOBODY is connecting the dots on these Gen Z protests. India. France. Spain. Chile. Different signs. Same problem. Young people can't get hired. Can't afford rent. Can't afford a house. Can't see a future. At the same time, AI is quietly deleting the jobs they were supposed to start with. Entry-level hiring has COLLAPSED since 2024. You can't tell a generation to "work hard" when the first rung of the ladder is gone. The streets are the only place left. Follow + 🔔. This is going global.

🚨 #BREAKING: The CIA has just offered their ENTIRE workforce the option to quit in exchange for eight months’ pay HOLY CRAP.

IRAN'S MESSAGE TO WASHINGTON: THE HIT-AND-RUN ERA IS OVER Iran has a message for Washington, and it is coming from the IRGC's own aerospace force. Brigadier General Ali Balali, an adviser to the commander of that force, says Iran has as many missiles as it needs, can sustain this war for years, and that the era of striking Iran without consequences is over. That claim sits in direct conflict with what the Trump administration has been telling the public since April. The gap between those two stories is now the story. THE CORE CLAIM ➡️ Balali says Iran no longer has to ration fire. During the eight years of the Iran-Iraq war, he says, Iran fired 88 missiles in total. ➡️ "We had no choice but to launch the missiles one at a time and in limited numbers so that we could sustain operations until the end of the war." He says that problem is gone. ➡️ "Today, in every operation, the armed forces launch as much as necessary with power and determination so that the enemy is disciplined and understands that the era of hit and run is over." THE WASHINGTON LINE Back in April, Trump described a different war. ➡️ "Their command and control of the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps is being decimated as we speak. Their ability to launch missiles and drones is dramatically curtailed." He said weapons factories and rocket launchers were being blown to pieces, with very few left. ➡️ "Never in the history of warfare has an enemy suffered such clear and devastating large-scale losses in a matter of weeks." US officials have repeatedly said Iran's missile industry has been largely destroyed. The public tally is a 90% drop in ballistic missile attacks and an 83% drop in one-way attack drones. THE UNDERGROUND PROBLEM The Wall Street Journal reported last month, citing US and Middle Eastern intelligence officials, that Iran has resumed producing ballistic missiles inside underground facilities, including a complex near Tehran, both liquid-fueled and solid-fueled. ➡️ That report already cut against the Pentagon's 90% claim. Balali's interview reinforces the same picture. Iran has built what it calls missile cities. These are underground sites carved into mountains, with automated rail systems linking assembly, storage, and concealed launch points. ➡️ America's GBU-57 bunker buster can penetrate about 60 meters of reinforced concrete. The deepest of these cities, on this account, sit 500 meters down. That is the stated reason US strikes have degraded Iran's missile force without eliminating it. The briefing says the sites were built to survive exactly this kind of bombardment. Through the same period Trump has called the arsenal exhausted, Iran has kept firing at US bases in Jordan, the UAE, Kuwait, and Bahrain. THE SANCTIONS ANSWER This week Washington sanctioned 13 individuals and entities in China, Hong Kong, Pakistan, and Russia for helping Iran procure weapons components. The stated goal is to cut the supply chain. ➡️ Balali's answer is that barriers and sanctions "could not prevent the Islamic Republic of Iran from building up its power and advancing in the missile, drone, and other fields." Read as a reply to policymakers, the interview has three parts. The stockpile has not been exhausted after seven months of war. Production, he says, can replace what is fired. Any country that hosts American forces and supports strikes on Iran should expect a response proportionate to the attack it enables. THE BOTTOM LINE Washington is still selling a missile force that is nearly used up. Tehran is selling a force that can fire as needed, refill underground, and punish the hosts. Those two stories cannot both be the whole truth, and the bases still taking fire are the test. The era of hit and run is the claim. The next salvo is the proof. #IranMissiles #IRGC #HitAndRunOver #MissileCities #PentagonClaim #GulfWarning #HormuzWar

Saudi and the entire Middle East are in massive trouble. Saudi is now preparing for a deadly ground offensive to recapture Bab el Mandeb. They are now gathering 100000 troops. A devastating large scale bombing campaign is also being planned against Al Bayda, Marib, Taiz and Al Jawf. America and Israel will be helping Saudi with intelligence, military advisers and data. Pakistan will be helping Saudi with equipment, cargo planes, air defense systems and light artillery. Pakistan will also be deploying 40000 troops to Yemen. France will be sending defensive systems and more than 10000 troops. The UK is already helping Saudi Arabia with tankers and ground based air defense. Hundreds of thousands of civilian lives could be wiped out in the coming months. America is also preparing for a ground invasion of Iran. The USS Theodore Roosevelt Carrier Strike Group left San Diego for the Middle East yesterday. The USS Makin Island Amphibious Ready Group along with the 13th Marine Expeditionary Unit and more than 4000 Marines has also left for the Middle East. The USS Anchorage and USS John P. Murtha are also on their way to the Middle East. 50000 additional U.S. personnel will be deployed to the Middle East before the midterms. The main objective is to completely annihilate Iran and Yemen right after the midterms. The deadly diesel crisis will most likely wipe out multiple countries if the war drags on. So now a large scale attack is inevitable to prevent that. This will most likely lead to Iran retaliating against the entire Middle East with brutal strikes. Both Bab el Mandeb and the Strait of Hormuz could be shut down to the entire world. This is leading to a global famine.

🚨 GOLDMAN SACHS DROPS DOOMSDAY STATEMENT: U.S. BONDS HAVE NO BUYERS Goldman Sachs just admitted the long end of U.S. Treasury market is “totally bidless.” Translation: almost nobody wants the 10- to 30-year debt the U.S. is trying to sell. No buyers. None. Zero. While Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent tells Congress we’re in an “illiquid period,” doubles then triples long-bond buybacks, taps the General Treasury Account to fund it and openly says “I am the house.” Yields are surging anyway. The 10-year has pushed toward 5.3% and the 30-year is even higher, levels not seen in years while Japan, one of the biggest foreign holders, keeps selling Treasuries and bringing money home. This was exactly warned by Japan’s @yutokanzakireal that the measures being prepared by Bank of Japan will affect the lives of billions of people and apologized to people of the West. Soon after, Scott Bessent intervened and effectively took over BoJ operations which Japanese policymakers heavily criticized. If the same ”bidless” condition hits the short-dated treasuries market, the entire U.S. debt market (and global) collapses. The U.S. debt crisis will turn into a global liquidity crisis.

This is GREAT to see. But the most important thing to do in Texas to fight the old boy network corruption is to PROTECT THE VOTE. Protect the voting locations. Stop Republicans from shutting down voting locations. Stop Republicans from obstructing voting on campuses.

🇺🇦🇷🇺Panic in Ukraine’s leadership has Russian President Putin gives military commanders free hand against conducting massive aerial strikes on Ukrainian cities. This actually doesn't mean military will literally do anything with no chain of commander but means military commanders can escalate air strikes on Ukrainian cities without tighter approval. The report of Putin removing restrictions on military commanders is claimed by Zelensky not yet confirmed by Moscow.

Trump could order a ground invasion against IRAN after November midterms elections as US deploys additional military assets to the region. Iran also began deployment of its ground assets including special forces along its borders especially at Southern coastal cities.

Iran has made a major breakthrough in its missile program by developing the ability to use a long-range ballistic missile against a moving target. IRGC Brigadier general Ali Belali told Iran's Fars news that the capability was achieved in recent days and that more progress is expected. Iran may deploy such missiles in a potential future war with the US.

🔥JACK SMITH: "Trump engaged in serious crimes against 🇺🇸- a criminal scheme to prevent a lawful transfer of power... the rule of law faces challenges unlike any we've experienced. I won't be silenced by threats of prosecution. While fear may be contagious, courage is as well."
