Macgregor shows he is also gravely concerned about what is going on at home, not just poor foreign policy decisions related to the military. I would only add to quit voting for incumbents, whether Democrats or Republicans. They have proven after many years that they are not right for America. Voting for them again and they win again just gives them the impression that they must be doing something right.

Creepy and in more ways than one. One of the speakers for TPUSA was Russel Brand who has been charged by four women with rape in the past. You might think they would rather wait to see if he is cleared of rape charges before having anything to do with him. I suppose Brand's appeal to them is he is an articulately good talking head for their supposedly Christian conservative causes.Turning Point USA (TPUSA) will hold a four-day conference this weekend in Phoenix, Ariz. — and one of the main attractions is a recreation of the booth in which the organization's founder, Charlie Kirk, was shot and killed in Utah in September.

Bannon also spoke there. He became further controversial when it was revealed that he had been meeting with Epstein to discuss how to rehabilitate his image with the public. Just how low will TPUSA go to get guest speakers?
I heard TPUSA is just an organization that makes its money by charging for tickets to go to their conferences. However, this Phoenix conference was free, paid for by a wealthy donor. It's still a good way to make money.
Rumors that Grindr experienced crashes in Phoenix during the Turning Point USA conference have not been confirmed.

fun facts from turning point this weekend, aside from the replica 'assassination booth' mentioned above:
*Erika Kirk’s speech went viral after she accidentally said “grift” instead of “grit” while describing her late husband’s work.
*“Dear young men, you have amazing role models like our handsome, dashing president,” the 43-year-old said of Trump, 79.
*“And you have amazing role models like the assassin, JD Vance,” Minaj added, as a hush fell over the crowd.
*JD Vance: "In the United States of America, you don't have to apologize for being white anymore,"

Rep. Randy Fine: "Right now I'm talking to my colleagues about whether we want these fake Somali refugees -- who come to our country, add no value, suck our resources, defraud our govt -- whether we actually want them here. I don't think Ilhan Omar shouldn't be a member of Congress -- I think she shouldn't be an American ... they all need to go home starting with her."

The Republican Party is now clearly the party of big government controlling everything.

The Trump administration on Monday said it would pause leases for five wind farms under construction off the East Coast, essentially gutting the country’s nascent offshore wind industry in a sharp escalation of President Trump’s crusade against the renewable energy source.
The decision injected uncertainty into $25 billion worth of projects that were collectively expected to power more than 2.5 million homes and businesses across the Eastern United States, according to Turn Forward, an offshore wind advocacy group. The five wind farms were projected together to create about 10,000 jobs.
The move left intact just two operational wind farms in U.S. coastal waters — one small project off Rhode Island that has been complete since 2016 and a larger project off New York that has been fully operational since 2023.
And, of course, the childish reason why:
Mr. Trump has repeatedly called offshore wind turbines ugly, costly and inefficient. He has disparaged the clean energy source ever since he failed 14 years ago to stop an offshore wind farm visible from of one of his golf courses in Scotland.
Trump Halts Five Wind Farms Off the East Coast
The Interior Department said the projects posed national security risks, without providing details. The decision imperils billions of dollars of investments.
