What a joke. Republicans are the cucks. And Thune is sitting on his ass with the SAVE Act. (Okay, boys, bring in the dogs! (Literally).)
Bergan County is in North Jersey which is usually more blue. This does not surprise me. South Jersey is definitely a red area. I have said that Cittarelli won and that NJ like VA has massive voter fraud. They train people to say it is a Blue” state and to accept the results.
Just to be clear – WHAT specifically does not surprise you – the fact that the count went from 100% for hours to 80% at the drop of a hat, with a large vote count shift – or that it went blue because “it is usually more blue?”
The former. Cittarelli won NJ Governor’s race period.
Good Lord look at this freak show UCSF staff person–she threatens to kill someone who is protesting trans surgeries. https://www.lifesitenews.com/blogs/college-administrator-threatens-to-kill-activist-protesting-transgender-mutilation-of-children
Pause for a moment. I saw the video earlier. Now I remember the administrator’s lips concealed. I remember that cloning a voice with AI is easy-peasy. No sync of voice and lips easily performed.
Starting to doubt everything on the internet as misleading filler and/or distraction.
Anyone else?
Nope… not doubting transgender cult violence & threats of violence yet.
I had the same thought…
The White House Correspondents totally do not deserve President Trump, but he’s too magnanimous. April 25 should be interesting:

He knows the midterms are coming.
I think most reasonably rationale people are laughing at this “gesture”.
The anger that this Transgender Mom (?) conceals until the end is frightening.
(Good to see that Billboard Chris is still out there! )
There was great article a few weeks back on The American Spectator that described how celebrities, want to be celebrities and elites see having a Transgender child is a badge of honor and must have to be considered part of the upper crust.
25 years ago the trendy thing was to adopt a Russian orphan. 20 years ago it was trendy to adopt a Chinese orphan. Then it was an African orphan. When there were no more trendy ethnicities to adopt it became fashionable to have a trans kid.
Perfect description of the celebrity crowd. They must always be driving the ‘fads’ that keep them in the spotlight. Their warped minds demand the ‘odd’ be the driver of ‘normal’ for them. When one fad catches on with their group, they all pile in no matter how twisted their new subject is. Normal to them is anything outside the box of what the general population accepts as normal.
It’s attention getting and gives them some sort of satisfaction to be thought of as cutting edge different. Their lack of sense and emotional control is a mental health problem in many cases. Sad for their children to be the ones to bear the results of their parents need for attention from the public.
I’ve seen that same thing with average Joe and Jills. You see pictures of their public “support” or “protest” gatherings and they hold up signs about their children while preening, effectively saying “Look at us, we have a physically mutilated child!”
She made her face the truth and actually think about it via visualization as the she painting the image of truth with words – proving the old adage about how to make a conservative and a leftist mad.
Tell a lie to a conservative can do so. Tell the truth to a leftist does so. Opposites.
Am I the only one who wonders if the audio was altered to say something threatening that Madeline Mann did not, in fact, say? Even though I do not agree with the genital mutilation of children AT ALL, I have to say that the woman in the white shirt was pretty obnoxious and if she was looking for attention and clicks for her video it would be very easy to add in the voice at the end using AI…anyone have any other info on this story that might add more clarity?
See my comment above as similar.
I don’t see any comment from you. Is it after Feisty posted the video?
Response to Rightedship about 6pm.
She did cup her hand to the person’s ear, said something, and then stormed off obviously mad.
The lady she said it to, then immediately commented on it as the other lady stormed off.
If it was altered, both voices were altered at the end.
While possible, would think it unlikely based on all the above.
She did say something, yes, but it looked like she was whispering so I guess I don’t understand how the phone would have picked it up SO CLEARLY and loudly…and the woman in white was spoiling for a fight (which makes our side look AWFUL in my opinion) so who’s to say if what she yelled out to the woman honestly reflected what had been said to her.
Loud and clear? To me it was muffled and low volume. Based on the rest of the video the mic also appears quite sensitive, picking up the background noise.
Not saying it wasn’t altered – it just doesn’t appear so to me.
Her behavior seems exactly like what you’d expect from an unhinged virtue-signaling Lefty.
Show a fake smile and Peace sign to the world, all the while seething with hatred inside.
Watch out when they decide to act on that hatred.
Everything that’s wrong with RINOs aka Democrats!!!
They do not get much more vile than Tillis. When he was propped up in NC to run for Senate in the Tea Party days, he was losing the primary to a limited government patriot (Brannon). McConnell had to send Karl Rove and a pack of weasels to NC to destroy his opponent, and, even spread the word that the GOP/RNC would pull all support from the general election if Brannon won.
Today I voted for Trump-endorsed Whatley in the US Senate primary for Tillis’ seat.
They did the same thing in the last election for governor…
I voted for Whatley today too. I shudder to think Roy Cooper could win, but he probably wouldn’t be any worse than Tillis.
I hope after all this he’s not allowed to become leader..

Does the UK have no money laundering laws?
Looks hard at Keir Starmer.
The money laundering map is the interesting part of the story on the link provided. Even that map is missing a piece …. St Kits and Nevis Banks and Toronto, Canada Banks intersect with Drug Cartels, China Inc., US NGO’s and US Financial Masters at those points.
From news I have seen … the UK had a change of heart last night and opened use of facilities to the US. Then in a strange move, only the RAF base on Cyprus is not open to US usage that is likely due to Greece NOT being on-board with the Operation vs Iran as the RAF base on Cyprus is owned by and with Greece.
Yet, the RAF is participating in “defensive operations”, intercepting drones as far afield as Jordan and Lebanon from their base on Cyprus.
My take, the UK is playing the pretend game ….. look like they are part of the operation by defending airspace and allowing use of bases in the UK … then in the same breath saying in the media and parliament, “the UK is just defending itself and NATO lands ONLY and NOT attacking”.
The double speak games they play. A common disease among leftists politicians.
It’s all the current RAF can really do, a full scale deployment in support of US operations would quickly reveal how broken the service really is. The RN is nearly as bad and the Army are shrinking daily, with all services subjected to quota-based recruitment.
That may be so or not the situation … the RN, RAF and Army could at a minimum make at least symbolic show of support via deployment with the US task and launching a few munitions as well as deploying in harms way.
The UK’s participation to this point is gaslighting double speak.
Interesting that a nation (the US) that was energy independent in 2019 and still has the assets as well as deregulation in place to be energy independent … has gasoline and diesel prices jump by over 60 cents per gallon at the pump … over night.
Go figure.
Commodities are fungible
Greed…
There is a cluster of 3 gas stations on my way to work. Monday morning 2 of them had raised prices by 50 cents. The third did not raise them. Guess who always gets my business…
And the people who went the cheap route on gas probably went in and bought snacks or drinks increasing the bottom line…smart move to stand pat…
Quite possibly in some cases. For myself, unless on a long trip don’t go inside gas stations – just pump and go.
It is a world market.
Trump Signed a Directive to Accelerate 6G Deployment to Operate “Implantable Technologies”
https://www.thefocalpoints.com/p/trump-signed-a-directive-to-accelerate
Buckets of cash for Musk.
Hope it’s true..

“ITV News” sounds very reliable.
If you want to pull Turkey in as an ally of Iran, sure. Kurds setting up a governance area has always been Turkey’s red line.
In that respect, Turkey has served as an enforcer of British Petroleum’s policy of creating fake nations with inherently unstable ethnic conflicts.
This will be interesting if it really happens.
The last time the Iranian Kurds rose up was in 1991 along side those in revolt inside Iraq … and after some ambiguous signals of support from Chaney, Powell and Bush I.
The Iranians and Iraqis (Saddam Hussein) crushed the Kurdish rebellion on both sides of the border and deployed allot of chemical weapons during the suppression operations. Iranians put on a show of fake support of the revolt in Iraq, waiting until the Kurds in Iraq were in retreat back across the border into Iran … then the IRG struck and devastated the Kurds (also using chemical weapons).
I know this is President Trump … but it’s hard to believe the Kurds would take the risk again knowing what the IRG is still capable of doing and with 1991 still on their minds.
The assurances from President Trump would have to be massive, including protection from the Turks.
Not directly related, but surprisingly Turkey did make an announcement today denouncing Iran attacking the other nations in the middle east that aren’t directly involved.

I’m not excited about Whatley. He ran the RNC for awhile alongside President Trump’s daughter (daughter in law?). RNC still a cesspool of RINOs. But I will be happy to see the back of Tillis.
He’s a better bet than old Roy Cooper.
BREAKING: Rep. Dan Crenshaw is LOSING TO Steve Toth 52.8% to 43.9% with ~31% reporting for the GOP nominee for TX U.S House 2.
https://x.com/electionwiz/status/2029011969018085877?s=46&t=MRsSpiGJq0d9cgNcH7cVqA
Looks like Hunt is indeed gong to split off enough votes for Cornyn to possibly beat Paxton. Will he get over 50% seems unlikely though.
This is an example of the kind of brain dead tactical thinking that drives me up a wall.
Build a $1.1 BILLION dollar radar installation. Leave it totally unprotected instead of spending an extra $20 Million to install a C-RAM point defense system with enough ammo to knock out 100 incoming objects, be they missiles, drones, or mortars…
Qatar owned the radar. Defenses sound like they were swamped.
“Qatar’s interior, defense, and foreign ministries stated that air defenses intercepted 65 ballistic missiles and 12 drones in the attack, while confirming two ballistic missiles impacted the U.S.-operated Al Udeid Air Base and a UAV targeted an early warning radar installation; eight people were injured by falling shrapnel. As in previous regional escalations, early battlefield damage claims may diverge from subsequent technical assessments.”
“Qatar’s acquisition path for this capability is documented. In July 2013, the U.S. Defense Security Cooperation Agency notified Congress of a potential foreign military sale of one AN/FPS-132 Block 5 Early Warning Radar to Qatar.”
https://www.armyrecognition.com/news/army-news/2026/iran-claims-destruction-of-an-fps-132-radar-in-qatar-used-for-u-s-missile-warning
There is a video in this link of a drone striking a US Navy tracking radar in supposedly the same strike. Couldn’t copy just the video but its worth the watch.
https://defencesecurityasia.com/en/iran-destroys-us-an-fps-132-radar-qatar-irgc-missile-defense-gulf-escalation/
Yes they do. None of that obviates the common sense of having a point defense system on a facility that expensive…
Geez why are you treating my comments combatively? I am adding info not disagreeing.
We’re having a discussion – not engaging in combat. Relax.
The 3 American F-15Es shot down? It was a Kuwaiti hotshot in an F-18…
Naw it was likely air to air missile shots not a dog fight and it happened when they weren’t looking for a friend to back shoot them.
Speculating the F18 had multiple target track and multiple engage simultaneously avionics.
Its point and shoot and if you’ve got the latest air to air missiles on your wings……….
The shot may have been beyond visual range with medium or long range radar guided missles.
Read the story – it’s stated it was 3 missiles shot, 3 hits…
Exactly Harrison there was no hot shot dog fighting Kuwati pilot……there was a bad decision and bad coordination. The story is behind a paywall.
Its hell when our own advanced air to air missiles and avionics sold to friendlies are unleashed on our own aircraft.
(perhaps you misunderstood that, “The shot may have been beyond visual range with medium or long range radar guided missiles.” meant medium or long range air to air missiles?
IOW no skill involved all technology. F18 cannot dogfight with F15E
Pretty sure you misunderstood my hotshot comment monti…
It was NOT a compliment about skill…or a compliment in any form. It was used in a derogatory sense of a young pilot itching to get his first kills, THINKING he was a hotshot and was going to become an ace, all at the expense of our side. Capiche?
understood thank you
Another questionable tactical decision – take out a drone on the ground that should it launch could be taken down with gun fire – instead of blowing up the command and control center just behind the lined up drones that controls the entire lot of them…
Might have to do with stand off distance vs range of a gun. But I get your point, on the surface, it does seems a bit much for something as fragile as a drone that size.
If you take out the C&C center, they aren’t launching 🙂 You would also likely have a good half hour to chase down any that did launch and they are slow movers.
Some are saying they were plastic decoy. 🤷♀️
Same with CENTCOM posting picture of attack
on abandoned truck.
Jeez…a 12 year old could figure that one out….

BREAKING: Qatari officials have arrested terrorist cells in their country.
However, they are terrorists Iranian Revolutionary Guards, which is a designated terrorist organization.
They are not Mossad agents, like Tucker Carlson falsely claimed. A claim that Qatar said was lie.

To be expected. With everything going on..they don’t need

This is probably why..or part of the reason.

Steve is a good friend of mine. Just tried to contact him. We couldn’t ask for a more God-first, principled, man of integrity than Steve Toth. Unfortunately, I am barely not in his district so didn’t get to vote for him but I did support him. So, so happy to hear this.
Meanwhile in South America the cartels take another hit…
“Texas AG Ken Paxton and RINO Sen. John Cornyn are heading to a RUN-OFF election for the Republican TX U.S. Senate primary, as neither of them received 50% of the vote”….
We need to get the Paxton vote out in the runoff, because there will be no Democrat runoff and any Democrat who did not vote in the primary can switch parties and vote in the runoff, attempting to keep Cornyn in power. But any Democrats who voted in the Democrat primary cannot vote in the Republican runoff.
Too soon to say that – the numbers I posted below are with “An estimated 57.03% of votes have been counted, according to the Associated Press.”
No one is getting over 50%, even with 57% in.
While that may be the more likely result – it isn’t a given…people call things much too early.
And Wesley Hunt achieved what he was probably paid for-make sure Cornyn stays in the race. Now they will bombard Paxton with non stop coverage of all his “scandals” –having an affair blah blah blah. Hunt will probably endorse Cornyn because he is such a moral upright guy. Bush family is happy tonight.
Ole one-eye RINO is getting his butt kicked…
Steve Toth 23,674 57.6%
Dan Crenshaw Incumbent 16,117 39.2%
Crazy Crockett is going down…
James Talarico 666,190 53.9%
Jasmine Crockett 555,119 44.9%
Paxton vs Cornyn too close to tell at this point, with Hunt muddying the waters…come on Paxton!
John Cornyn Incumbent 550,722 43.2%
Ken Paxton 513,913 40.3%
Wesley Hunt 164,176 12.9%
Chip Roy taking it on the chin…
Mayes Middleton 508,964 42.0%
Chip Roy 360,553 29.7%
I am glad to have seen Mayes Middleton recommended on here…. helped me to decide whom to vote for…. Glad Middleton is trouncing Roy
What’s an election without lawsuits…
First one judge extended the voting hours, then the Texas Supremes followed with an order to hold the extended hours votes to the side as provisional until a hearing is held. This was in the race Crockett is losing.
https://www.fox26houston.com/news/judge-extends-polling-hours-after-dallas-county-voters-turned-away
They never extended the Arizona voting hours in 2020 when there were problems with the voting machines and ballots in Republican strongholds.
Such bullsh!t!
Don’t remember – did the GOP actually file a lawsuit with a judge requesting an extension and it was turned down – or did they do the usual and simply shrug their shoulders?
I think they just shrugged their shoulders.

Hunt cost Paxton the outright win, just like he was supposed to. Now they will smear Paxton unmercifully-and Dems who didn’t vote in th primary will be able to vote for Cornyn in the run off. Cornyn is gong to be the candidate, I would bet money. Hunt is a POS.
Deport them all!
