Michigan is bucking conventional wisdom. Mail returns keep tilting toward Trump country: Trump-won counties' share climbed from 45.3% yesterday to 46.0% today. They had 43.4% at the four-week mark in 2022.

This is a fascinating chart. Republican counties would be shrinking without domestic migration. Democratic counties would be shrinking without international migration.

Megyn Kelly stuns the Bill Maher audience by laying out the facts about transitioning. After they recoil in disgust, Bill Maher corroborates Megyn Kelly 'We are definitely doing that': Megyn Kelly: "What we're doing to our children with this trans insanity. We are chopping off the healthy body parts of young children." Audience: *Recoils in disgust* "Oh god." Megyn Kelly: "100% we are doing that." Bill Maher: "We are definitely doing that. That's what it is. I don't know what the ooing is about." Liberals are more disgusted at hearing the truth, than they are at adults chopping off body parts of children.

God will not be mocked. James Talarico had a mental breakdown, they say. And it's not surprising. When you claim that God is 'non-binary', and try to bend the Bible to your own will instead of God's, you invite demons into your life. Talarico learned this the hard way.

🚨 🚨 PAY ATTENTION! - I am going to prove to you there will be NO blue wave this year. It's all in the mail-in ballots which are the single greatest signal of Democrat enthusiasm. MAIL BALLOTS ARE DOWN - way down, especially for Democrats! THE RECEIPTS: As of about four weeks out, mail-ballot requests are down compared to 2022 in every state that reports them. The numbers: Georgia: down 50% North Carolina: down 32% Wisconsin: down 18% Maine: down 10% Pennsylvania: down 7% Here's the REALLY scary part for Democrats. Where states report party registration, the decline is steeper among Democrats! North Carolina: both parties down, but Democrats down 42% versus Republicans down 19%. Pennsylvania: Democratic requests fell 14% while Republican requests actually ROSE 18%. There it is folks. NO BLUE WAVE. As a matter of fact, it could become a RED WAVE!

🚨 YOU LOVE TO SEE IT: CNN’s Harry Enten reveals that Republicans are in their BEST POSITION on party registration going into a midterm in 20+ years. GET OUT AND VOTE RED!!! 🇺🇸

No idea why there's a civil war over Social Security, but the core problem is it's paying boomers just 2% returns because Congress stole the rest. While investing on their own -- IRA's -- would have paid 6%. Compounded, that comes to $1,247,000 with the IRA -- the median senior would be a millionaire. Instead, the median Congressman is a millionaire. So, yes, Boomer voters kicked the can down the road. And, yes, Boomers also got ripped off.

I am ENRAGED over this! Food stamps by ethnicity: Afghan - 45.6% Somali - 42.4% Iraqi - 34.8% Haitian - 23.3% Democrats fund illegals lives in hopes that they ILLEGALLY vote. Is this your American dream? Because it sure as hell isn't mine.

Trump just pulled off a stealth power move that will permanently shift the global order… It was reported by CNN and Axios yesterday that America is able to move 15 million barrels of oil a day out of the Persian Gulf. Iran is able to move 0. Iran has completely LOST control of the Strait of Hormuz to the point where all global oil market monitors admits it. But this is just the start… The U.S. blockade has cut off Iranian oil from reaching China, crippling their markets and wiping out trillions. To make it worse for the regime, President Trump just struck a massive deal with Canada to revive the Keystone XL Pipeline while simultaneously ramping up Venezuelan oil production for fortress America. Meanwhile Middle East countries are rapidly building pipelines around Hormuz to make it irrelevant. This geopolitical power move makes America the number one producer, procurer and protector of energy production in the world. On top of all that Trump announces Economic D-Day for Iran cutting off all financial lifelines. This is how you truly create collapse conditions. Iranian Regime officials have admitted to all of this on national TV. Iran has overplayed their hand and they’re about to pay the price. Sign a peace deal now and get it over with…

Why Texas is turning into California 😱

Something big is about to happen with deportations in America. You should be ready for this… I just spoke with a senior DHS official. They shared deportation numbers with me that frankly stunned me. +27,000 deportations. Last week. +3,600 a day average. Tracking for 1.4 million deportations across the calendar year. +69,000 illegals are in DHS jails waiting to be deported at this moment. And you haven’t heard a blip about it in the corporate press. Why? My DHS source says “stealth tactics.” “We’re everywhere in every major city. We tell no one. Plain clothes. Beat up old cars. Quick work. Tactical strikes. No one sees anything. No drama. No tears. No media circus. You’re just going back home where you belong.” And here’s where it gets insane… DHS tells me blue states are quietly and very secretly working with the Trump administration to assist in the mass deportation of criminals. The criminal alien issue has become so “politically toxic” and “costly” that Democrat Governors have given the green light to Sheriffs and Police Chiefs in major blue cities to drop their illegals off with undercover ICE for removal. It’s happening. You just don’t see it. We can track if these numbers hold, but as for now this is a historic white pill and exactly what MAGA voted for.

This is a significant victory for our office and the 2nd Amendment.

🚨 WOW. Nick Shirley just went on national television and dropped this revelation: The Chinese and Korean Mafia is LOOTING MEDICAID and running a kickback scheme in NYC "In Queens, adult daycares [have] pharmacies set up, it's this big racket where they BILL all these people with medical beneficiary numbers from seniors in the adult daycares. They make so much money from Medicaid, THEY GIVE KICKBACKS to the seniors." "So you have these Korean and Chinese mafias, quite literally, looting the government from Medicaid, and then giving the kickbacks to the seniors!" INGRAHAM: "So wait, the old people get the money themselves?" SHIRLEY: "Well, they make so much money, these pharmacies and these little daycares, that they then have a referral program set up for these seniors." "So it's like bringing a friend will give you a hundred bucks." STAY CONNECTED, NEXT DROP WILL BE SHOCKING.

Childless Bill Maher: “[Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez] is now 36 and freezing her eggs. Something career women do. I get it, you got sh*t to do, put the kid on layaway. I get it. I’m all for it, but I must say trying to teach kids these days about s*x between the you might be in the wrong body and your brothers in the freezer… Explaining the Birds and the Bees is a lot more complicated than…” “She was engaged for quite a while, and the reports are that—that is over… They called it quits, although she hopes they can still remain comrades.” Leftist are so weird. Just have a kid like a normal person!

BREAKING: President Trump is weighing a cut to capital gains taxes ahead of midterm elections, per Bloomberg. There has not been a major cut to capital gains tax rates in the US since 2003. This would have massive implications if implemented.
