Senator Mike Lee [R-UT] made this post yesterday, and I felt I had to respond to it.
The text of my response to Senator Lee:
Congress will not give up the illusion that it matters in the current fight for The Golden Age.
If the American people come to understand just how useless, compromised and corrupt that institution is, they might call for a complete overhaul of it.
Aside from passing maybe 2 key bills, Congress has deliberately sidelined itself and is not lifting a finger to advance the America First agenda. It’s about to leave DC for another long vacation.
It's becoming harder and harder for them to hide how they’re not really helping Trump at all.
With all that Trump got done in the last 6 months, he'd have accomplished far more with a Congress that was fully onboard with what he's doing.
But here's what you have to understand: most of the GOP members of Congress are UPSET with what Trump and DOGE have revealed about DC corruption since February.
A big part of the Fake News vs NeoCon news con game, the UniParty Dem vs GOP shell game, is invested in keeping the public buying in to the illusion that it matters which party you support.
It did not matter.
Not until Trump.
Team Red vs Team Blue was 100% fake puppet theater. Boob bait for the Bubbas, so to speak.
And yet what do we see?
Fake News and NeoCon Media Inc. **continue** to churn out daily content as if their CONFLICT IS REAL.
It is not real.
Democrat UniParty politicians cross swords every day with GOP UniParty politicians as if their fake CONFLICT IS REAL.
But it is not real.
MSNBC, NBC News, the NYT's, CNN, Fox News, National Review, Daily Wire, Chuck Schumer, Nancy Pelosi, Mitch McConnell, John Thune, Lindsey Graham...they're ALL FUNDED and OWNED BY THE SAME DAMN PEOPLE that belong to the SAME EVIL GLOBALIST CULT.
**BREAK YOUR PROGRAMMING**.
Let the mirage fade away that Schumer and McConnell are not on the same page following the same scripts written for them by the same people.
Anything the UniParty GOP has done to help Trump with his Golden Age/America First agenda over the past 6 months, they were literally forced to do it because they were backed into a corner and they had no choice.
And yet so many of you continue to be sucked into the illusion again by watching Fox News or reading Conservative social media influencers and letting them frame the day's events for you AS IF THE TEAM RED VS TEAM BLUE FIGHT IS REAL.
It is NOT real.
Trump is continuing to SHOW you it is not real.
Trump is the first REAL outsider to ever gain control of the levers of power. When it's one of their own, the fake Red vs Blue fight can go on in a manner that it is not obvious what they are doing.
Since Trump has once again interjected himself into their plans and seized power from them, it's becoming increasingly obvious that the Republicans in DC really REALLY do not want to help him save this country.
WHAT DOES THAT TELL YOU?
When one of their own gets in the White House, R or D, the idea that that President's own party in control of both House and Senate would try to sandbag his agenda and grind everything to a halt for six months would cause a massive amount of cognitive dissonance.
AND YET...
AND YET...
...this is EXACTLY what you have been seeing. For over six months now.
Have you asked yourself why, with a President THIS popular, doing THIS many great things for the country, why can't a GOP-controlled House/Senate get off its ass and give him a hand?
I made **this meme** you see below to illustrate what I'm getting at here.
The DC GOP crowd is actually REALLY REALLY SUPER-PISSED at Trump right now for clearly demonstrating to the country just how FREAKING USELESS they all are.
And they are, man.
Freaking useless.
In their current iteration.
Congresses' job - I'm talking about their REAL JOB now, not the 'cover story' that's been in place for over 100 years - their REAL ACTUAL JOB...
...is to facilitate the corruption and cover it up and keep you from finding out about it, how bad it really was and how much was actually being stolen and where it was going.
Team Red GOP and Team Blue Democrat, they have the SAME JOB. Same mission.
HELP TRUMP? Help Trump keep them from DOING THEIR REAL JOB?
Why would they do that?
Trump has been literally DESTROYING THEIR HOUSE OF CARDS.
Every damn week he and his team expose and stop some other corrupt scheme they've been doing, they shut it down and Team Red and Team Blue are TIRED OF BEING EMBARRASSED LIKE THIS.
Even as Trump and his mighty team of American patriots continue to pull that big thick heavy globalist curtain back and expose more and more of what's actually been going on in DC, the DC swamp denizens - even the half of them that are FORCED TO PRETEND TRUMP IS THEIR PARTY LEADER AND THEY ARE ON HIS SIDE - these D/R actors hate that they are being FORCED to go OFF SCRIPT and deal with the constant exposure Trump is causing.
You have to understand this. THESE PEOPLE ARE PAID TO FOLLOW THE SCRIPT THE GLOBALIST CULT WRITES FOR THEM. Both Team Red and Team Blue.
Every day, the Fake News, the NeoCon News, the GOP politicians, the Dem politicians, they get up HOPING AGAINST HOPE that TODAY is the day they can GO BACK TO READING THE SAME ILLUSIONARY SCRIPTS to the public.
AND THAT SON-OF-A-BITCH DONALD TRUMP AND HIS CABINET WILL NOT LET THEM DO IT.
Every damn day they have to go off-script and deal with some new crisis Trump is causing for their corrupt Swamp system.
AND THEY HATE THIS. THEY ABSOLUTELY HATE IT.
Trump established a beachhead inside the GOP beginning in 2015, and he's been oh-so-very-slowly engaged in a HOSTILE TAKEOVER of the party for going on 10 years now.
I'm thinking he can complete the takeover of the GOP and refashion it into a real America First party by the time he leaves in January 2029. He's got 2 more elections to get that done. I wouldn't bet against him pulling it off.
Senator Lee does appear to be one of the good guys in the GOP, one of the patriots on board with America First. But a lot of Senators and House Reps. have been faking it for years; as soon as they thought Trump was gone for good in 2021, many of them dropped their masks. That includes Dan Crenshaw, Rand Paul and Thomas Massie.
Some GOP members of Congress are America First, but don’t kid yourself. They’re still vastly outnumbered
But for now...the GOP in Congress, you have to STOP BUYING IN daily to the constant FALSE FRAMING being presented to you daily by Fake News Media, NeoCon News Media, D & R politicians, and D & R social media influencers on here.

Every day other people try to frame the news for you to keep you trapped in the Team Red vs Team Blue mirage - or attempt to suck you mentally back into it.
BREAK THE PROGRAMMING. Free your MIND, Neo!
Understand why a GOP-controlled Senate is sitting on 130+ Trump nominees.
Why is Senate Leader John Thune and the rest of the GOP Swamp Rats doing this?
BECAUSE IT'S THE ONLY THING IN THEIR TOTAL CONTROL they can use to slow down/halt Trump's agenda for this term.
Trump is a direct and very real existential threat to these people. GOP or Dem.
Once you understand that, you will be able to more accurately assess the current situation.

Daily Reminder…. The typical United States government nor the media are your friends. They don’t even like you. Check. Got it. But we have a brother in Trump. A brother who is fighting like a banshee to save our asses from the schoolyard bullies. Check. Got it. Learn how to explain it from people who really Get It. Pass it on. Quit dog paddling. Reach out with strong hard strokes and cut through the waves! We’re almost to the shore. (My poor attempt at a metaphore~~~)
Brian, did you ever conceded to Catherine Herridge that she was in fact correct about no one ever being convicted from John Durham's "investigations"? I remember you were all over the Durham investigations and predicting a series of trials and convictions... that unfortunately never happened. Catherine seemed to see through the DC swamp manure and sensed that it was all a head fake. It seems the entire Durham story of ultimate exposure of and justice served to the 2016-2020 coup conspirators was an illusion.... Pres. Trump now has placed the "baton" with Pam Bondi who may or may not have the intestinal fortitude to go forward with prosecuting the Uniparty criminals - including Obama - who perpetrated treason crimes against the U.S. government and its citizens.
