A huge part of the problem we face. Inaction solves nothing. At this moment I’m not interested in the opinions of those who sat on their hands while the rest of us participated in the fight. Armchair citizens aren’t exactly helpful

Midterms 2026: a comparison and a warning ... When people are fed up with the status quo, they vote for some thing, that is not what we have now ! This is what happened in the UK ... My God I wish I had a time machine. On a positive note; the swing has been so big, most Americans will get a hard dose of Socialism .. ENJOY ! The 2024 UK general election (4 July) produced a historic Conservative collapse and a Labour landslide under Keir Starmer, but with notably low enthusiasm and a turnout of just 59.7%—the lowest since 2001 and down roughly 8 points from 2019. Labour secured 411 seats on 33.7% of the vote (about 9.7 million votes), while the Conservatives fell from 365 seats and 43.6% in 2019 to 121 seats and 23.7%. Reform UK took 14.3% of the vote but only five seats, and the Liberal Democrats won 72. First-past-the-post heavily amplified Labour’s seat majority despite its modest vote share—the lowest for any modern majority government. Many analyses described it as an anti-Conservative rejection more than a positive endorsement of Labour. Conservative losses stemmed from 14 years in office, eroded trust after Partygate and related scandals, the short-lived Liz Truss premiership and its mini-budget market disruption, persistent high immigration (including Channel crossings), NHS waiting lists, cost-of-living pressures, and a sense that the party had failed to deliver on key promises. Large numbers of 2019 Conservative voters either switched to Reform or stayed home rather than vote for another party. Polling and post-election analysis consistently ranked loss of trust, perceived incompetence, and being “out of touch” as primary drivers. The low turnout reflected broader disillusionment. Reasons cited included distrust of politicians, a belief that voting changes little, and scepticism that any major party could fix deep problems. Declines occurred across the country, including in some Labour-leaning areas; it was not solely Conservative heartlands sitting out. Younger and middle-aged voters showed particularly high abstention. Labour’s early period in government faced rapid criticism: freebies scandals, cuts to winter fuel payments for some pensioners, employer National Insurance rises, limited progress on growth and housebuilding, continued small-boat arrivals, and multiple policy U-turns. Starmer’s personal ratings fell sharply, and by 2025–26 the government was widely described as unpopular, with Labour’s polling support roughly halving from its election level in some surveys. Whether this constitutes the “worst socialist government” of a lifetime is a subjective judgment—Starmer’s platform was deliberately more moderate and fiscally cautious than Jeremy Corbyn’s—but the combination of a low-enthusiasm mandate and subsequent delivery shortfalls left many voters feeling the change of government had not resolved underlying frustrations and arguably made things a lot worse. @UNCgirl33 @TLineman29 @lineman4340 @kate_p45 @rosejam181920 @KiperlyW @LUVZ737777 @RealConnieLee @janci67 @JodyOnTheCouch @RedTsunami77 @15Bamakimbo @misjessi28 @Taggie1224 @NorCal_Patriot @spooks @SashaOnTheBlock @CaessyM @Leone21619987 @itsmelisalynn @casi_rhnea82 @RighterThanRigh @_SmokeyGirl25 @cali_beachangel @godforever99 @REDVOTERMAGA @GraceX_7872 @DebRN1953

🗳️ THE MORNING AFTER 🗳️ Thank you to every Texan who stood in line, every poll worker, and every volunteer who kept Election Day running. 🇺🇸 Here's where things stood as of about 10:40 PM CT Tuesday night: TEXAS • U.S. Senate: James Talarico (D) is the projected winner over Ken Paxton (R), per the AP, NBC News and Decision Desk HQ. Per The Texas Tribune, it's the first Democratic U.S. Senate win in Texas since 1988. • Governor: NBC News projects Gina Hinojosa (D) the winner over Gov. Greg Abbott (R), about 57% to 42% with roughly two-thirds of the expected vote in. The Texas Tribune reports Abbott conceded around 10 PM. • Attorney General: Nathan Johnson (D) leads Mayes Middleton (R), about 56% to 43%, with about 57% in. Not called yet. All results are unofficial until counties canvass and the state certifies. CALLED SO FAR (per AP, Fox News Decision Desk and CBS News) • Senate: Roy Cooper (D) in North Carolina, a pickup; Annie Andrews (D) in South Carolina, a pickup; Sherrod Brown (D) in Ohio, a pickup per the AP; Adam Hamilton (D) in Kansas, a pickup per the AP; Josh Turek (D) in Iowa, a pickup; Jon Ossoff (D) in Georgia; Ashley Moody (R) in Florida; Mark Warner (D) in Virginia • Governor: Keisha Lance Bottoms (D) in Georgia; Byron Donalds (R) in Florida; Josh Shapiro (D) in Pennsylvania; JB Pritzker (D) in Illinois • Early House calls include Ed Gallrein (R) in KY-4 and Randy Fine (R) in FL-6 CONTROL OF CONGRESS • House: NBC News and CBS News project Democrats will win the majority. • Senate: NBC News projects Democrats will win the majority, with Democratic pickups including Texas, Kansas, Iowa, South Carolina, North Carolina and Ohio. • As of about 10:40 PM CT, the AP had not yet called control of either chamber; it calls control only once enough races are decided. Michigan and Maine were still being counted. Let's let every legal vote be counted and give the results time. Whatever the final count, let's pray for our leaders and for unity. "Honour all men. Love the brotherhood. Fear God. Honour the king." 1 Peter 2:17 #Election2026# #Texas# #PrayForAmerica#

Cats don’t have nine lives. They have nine personalities, and none of them make sense. Ceiling naps, stair slides, and one ‘calculated power move’ that was absolutely miscalculated. 😂 Does your cat act like this?

Grandma's stove had features that would put some of today's expensive appliances to shame! A built-in griddle, pop-up broiler, grease trap, butter warmer AND a crockpot?! They really don't make them like they used to. I'd take one of these in my kitchen today!

How to make 30 gallons of Jambalaya. This is exactly what I needed to see today to get my mind off politics. Perfect for a big get together or family reunion. Good morning X.

Some people aren't tired because they didn't get enough sleep. They're tired from being strong. From holding everything together. From showing up for everyone else while quietly wishing someone would show up for them. You can be grateful and still feel overwhelmed. You can smile and still need a little comfort. On National Stress Awareness Day, I hope you find a moment to breathe, a reason to smile, and someone who reminds you that you don't have to carry everything alone. Even the strongest hearts need a soft place to land.

A restaurant in Wisconsin offers a prime rib challenge. If you can finish this behemoth piece of prime rib, you get a $20 gift card, a t shirt, and a photo. You might think that's not much of a prize. But hear me out! At $160 it’s $1 an ounce, $16 per pound. Yes please, I’ll take home most of it at a nice discount from grocery store pricing. It's a win-win in my opinion.

I've basically stopped sharing political messages, but at the risk of destroying my German Shepherd posts following, today I feel compelled to say something about yesterday's results..... In 2020 the Dems took power by shutting down the world economy in order to steal the POTUS election. This is my word... and, as such, is beyond contestation. Once in power, their ideas were so antithetical of American values and beliefs that the 2024 reelection of Trump was 'too big to rig'. If they tried to install Harris in 2024, there would have been a 'hot' civil war. The Ministry of Truth rewrote the Bios of every Democrat that ran in 2026. Anything that might make the Party's candidate unelectable, went down the memory hole. What the Party said last week to get their apparatchiks into office will also be memory holed as soon as they place their hand on ' the 5th and final holy book.' They will vote in lock-step with The Party. Newspeak shrinks the language a little more each year. If the MAGA movement no longer exists, America First gets harder to even think about. A telescreen sits in every room, and it watches back. Children turn in their own parents to the Thought Police. Every day there is a Two Minutes Hate, so everybody practices being angry at the right. And why do they do all this? The Party says it plainly: "The object of power is power." That's the whole plan! The Party doesn't even pretend to have fair elections, otherwise The SAVE Act would be current law. The inner circle picks its own replacements. When the US holds an election, the Party rigs it so completely that a Russian election looks believable!

Rocky 3 will always be my favorite. It had Hulk Hogan as Thunder Lips and, of course, Mr. T as Clubber Lang. Rocky 4 was my next favorite. This is a great story about them making it as realistic as possible. I couldn't imagine being hit this hard in any scenario, never mind for making it look realistic. 🥊🩺🩻🙏💥

They say this is 'not meant to provoke' Russia, but I can only assume it will.😉 They will not be using US military technology or equipment, nor will they use Starlink for communications. This doesn't mean they will deploy to Ukraine, but only a training mission at this time. From the article: Among the approximately 2,800 soldiers to be deployed to Poland — which is standing in for Ukraine in the exercise — are troops from Britain, France, Poland, Germany, Belgium, Estonia, Lithuania, the Netherlands, Spain, Sweden and Turkey. While troops practice rapid deployment on the ground, military aircraft including a contribution from Britain of Eurofighter Typhoon interceptors and Voyager air transport-tanker jets will simulate the return of civil aviation to Ukraine’s skies for the first time in years. Per a UK Ministry of Defense statement, the Multinational Force-Ukraine (MNF-U) is “not a peacekeeping or a ceasefire-monitoring force, nor is it connected to NATO”. Its purpose is “reassurance” and helping Ukraine to regenerate its armed forces and economy. The Guardian states an unnamed government source emphasized that the eventual MNF-U deployment would be “defensive in nature” but the rules of engagement wouldn’t leave European troops defenseless. Another key emphasis of the deployment is the lack of U.S. involvement, even down to avoiding American technologies for the “reassurance” force. The Eurofighter Typhoon and Voyager strategic aircraft are both European-made, and it is stated troops will not use Starlink satellites for communication. Link to article in comments

Republicans limp to the finish line. John Thune is out front, like a man revisiting the scene of his crime. The ramifications are staggering, tragic, and universal … and not just for the U.S. The GOP can’t give up, the battle is over but we still have 60 days of cold hard power. We can attempt to unify and remove the concrete wall that became the Epstein wall of shame. Senate Majority Leader John Thune announces plans to step down to Minority Leader. His mission is complete. He resisted changing the filibuster rule and the SAVE Act demands to save America. His feckless leadership ushered in a massive Blue Tsunami—squandering trifecta power, handing Democrats the Senate majority and flipping traditional GOP strongholds like South Carolina, Texas, and Mississippi. Establishment failure in full view. The GOP can’t give up, the midterms battle is over but we still have 60 days of cold hard power to pass the Trump agenda. If leadership has the spine.

America is under a well-coordinated Communist and Islamist assault! If it wasn’t for the 98% GOP infestation by traitorous deep-state RINO swamp rats, with @LeaderJohnThune backstabbing @realDonaldTrump’s MAGA agenda from the top and worthless deadbeats like @Jim_Jordan blowing a lot of hot air on the sidelines, we wouldn’t be in this mess! The only thing worse than an external enemy is a traitor within!

Wasn’t it on @GregAbbott_TX’s watch that a mega Jihadist mosque city complex was being built? Wasn’t it on his watch that mosques sprang up across Texas like mushrooms after rain? It’s not just the last six months of his political life that he was a RINO! He might have been one all along!

Congratulations to @AbdulElSayed on becoming the first Muslim Brotherhood senator in the U.S. Congress! Islamization of America took a giant leap forward! America suffers from the same terminal illness killing Europe!

Pres Trump:"Absolutely willing to accept" the midterm results as Democrats appeared poised to control Congress.Despite the Republican setbacks,he signaled a willingness to work w/ them Flashback:"Someday like to lose everything to see who is truly loyal"
