Donald J. Frankenstein is the GOP's version of Boltneck, who was for the use of force in Iraq and Afghanistan before he was against paying for it.
Elon Musk has that effect on people lol.
Don't get the Neuralink from the mad scientist or it could happen to you, too!

The scandal of Pete Hegseth is that HE THINKS the encounter with Jane Doe was bad enough to threaten his job at FOX NEWS but not at the Department of Defense
Hegseth was concerned that she was prepared to file a lawsuit that he feared could have resulted in him being fired from Fox News. ...
The person who reported the assault — whose name, age and sex were not released — had bruises on the right thigh, according to the city’s statement. ...
At the time of the 2017 accusations, Hegseth, now 44, was going through a divorce with his second wife, with whom he has three children. She filed for divorce after he had a child with a Fox News producer who is now his wife, according to court records and social media posts by Hegseth. His first marriage ended in 2009, also after infidelity by Hegseth, according to court records.
Fox News host Pete Hegseth, President-elect Donald Trump's pick to serve as defense secretary, paid a confidential financial settlement to a woman who accused him of sexual assault out of concern that the allegation would lead to his firing from the cable news giant, his lawyer told CBS News. ...
The city of Monterey confirmed the 2017 investigation into Hegseth and said in a statement that investigators found the woman had "contusions" on her right thigh. No charges were filed, Parlatore said.
The Washington Post, which first reported the financial payment, obtained what it referred to as a memo that was sent to the Trump transition team by a friend of the accuser alleging Hegseth raped a conservative group staffer in his room after drinking at the hotel bar. According to the Post, the memo states that the day after the incident, the accuser "had a moment of hazy memory of being raped the night before, and had a panic attack."

Ford Motor F-150 Lightning EV pick-em-up-truck sales are a JOKE, and the mainstream media propaganda stories don't tell you that, if they cover the story at all
Ford sold 7,162 units of the Lightning in Q3 2024, up from the 3,503 units in Q3 of last year. ... Year-to-date, Ford sold 22,807 F-150 Lightning EVs. ...
[22,807 units lol. Ford sold nearly 751,000 F-series pick up trucks in 2023, so that's like 3% of the 2023 total]
Overall, Ford’s all-electric vehicle sales in the third quarter of this year amounted to 23,509 units, up 12.2% from last year’s 20,962 vehicles. Year-to-date, Ford sold 67,689 EVs, up 45% compared to last year’s 46,671 units. ...
Ford sold 432,429 combustion-powered vehicles in the third quarter, down 2.8% year-over-year, and 1,340,139 units year-to-date, down 1.8% year-over-year.
Reported here.
That means year-to-date total EV sales are just 5.05% of total combustion-powered vehicle sales year to date.
People aren't buying these dogs.
None of these stories mention these facts.

J. D. Vance v Tim Walz and CBS debate moderators: Harris-Biden facilitate illegal immigration through CBP One application
CBS News Cuts Mic When JD Vance Tries To Explain Mobile App For Asylum Seekers :
SEN. JD VANCE: The rules were you weren't going to fact check, and since you are going to fact-check me, it's important to say what's actually going on. There is an application called the "CBP One" app where you can go as an illegal migrant, apply for asylum or apply for parole, and be granted legal status at the wave of a Kamala Harris open border wand. That is not a person coming in and applying for a green card and waiting for ten years, that is the facilitation of illegal immigration by our own leadership. ... The CBP One app has not been on the books since 1990. It is something that Kamala Harris created.
Nothing illustrates better the threat to free speech from Democrats and the media than what CBS did to help Walz by breaking the rules in his favor and cutting the mic:
BRENNAN: Gentlemen, the audience can't hear you because the mics are cut. We have so much we want to get to.

CBS News just lies through its teeth about heat deaths
Extreme heat is the No. 1 cause of weather-related deaths in the U.S., a risk that grows as temperatures rise.
From the story here.
This isn't even debatable in the slightest degree:
Cold-related deaths outnumber heat deaths in all countries
What’s consistent in these studies is that cold-related deaths vastly outnumber those from heat.
In the Global Burden of Disease study, cold-related deaths were around four times higher than heat-related ones.
The study that estimates that 7.7% of deaths were attributed to temperature found that 7.3% were from cold temperatures; 0.4% were from heat.
In the “5 million death” study, 9.4% of deaths were related to sub-optimal temperatures. 8.5% were cold-related, and 0.9% were heat-related. This skew was true across all regions.
You can see these results in the chart below.
Globally, cold deaths are 9 times higher than heat-related ones. In no region is this ratio less than 3, and in many, it’s over 10 times higher. Cold is more deadly than heat, even in the hottest parts of the world.

Deportations are 24/7 all of a sudden under Biden without a new law having been passed, which means he could have simply done this at any point in his presidency but chose to let in millions instead
All these people cut in line ahead of legal immigrants who have to wait years for green cards.
One law for them, another for these, brought to you by Democrats.

Democrats still excelling at white-identity politics after all these years lol: White Women for Harris raised ~$11 million, White Dudes for Harris . . . not so much
Trump and his running mate, Sen. JD Vance of Ohio, are both white.
Meanwhile . . .
Grassroots organizers raise millions online for Harris in first week
The back-to-back calls motivated activist and Moms Demand Action founder Shannon Watts to follow suit. She organized a group, dubbed "White Women: Answer the Call." The impromptu effort, sparked by a 5 a.m. X post last Tuesday, broke a record for the largest Zoom call in history. It crashed the site with nearly 200,000 women and raised more than $11 million. ...
"I am here tonight embracing myself, in your incredible, profound white women midst, because we got a f***ing job to do y'all," said actress Connie Britton on the call.

There's an easy way to recognize if the Democrat you are talking to is a "first-bucket" Democrat
First-bucket Democrats believe Joe had a cold on debate night, an excuse trotted out mid-way through the debate by the Biden campaign when everyone realized in the first minute that Joe was cratering.
Magically, Joe recovered overnight and made a relatively robust appearance in North Carolina on Friday in front of a supportive crowd using his trusty teleprompter!
Democrat scare-mongering on democracy and the rule of law has totally flopped: Voters think both will be about the same no matter whom they elect
Most voters think the two are an equal threat to democracy lol.
The margin of error is 4.2 points.

Justin Amash polling at 8%: I'm going to wipe the floor with Mike Rogers lol
As he campaigns, Amash said, he encounters few Michigan Republicans who support Rogers outside of his party affiliation or his relationship with Trump.
“I’m just going to, you know, wipe the floor with him.”
Quoted here, June 10th.
Peter Meijer wisely dropped out at the end of April.
Trump endorsed Rogers on Monday, March 11th.
