Who’s after him? He’s out here using his financial power to take advantage of people who do not possess the same powers and somehow you guys manage to make him the victim.

You guys are delusional.

Liberals including you. They called him a Nazi for saluting from the bottom of his heart .
They hate him the most because he bought off Twitter and made it a free speech platform for all .

Funny rich democrats are heavily invested in his company stocks . Fortunately Elon controls the largest voting block in all his companies.

How funny we are “after him” yet he seems to be the one that somehow manages to do stuff that negatively affects the regular people to his own benefit.

You’re just a brown noser. Pick up what little self esteem you have and move on along pls.

You are a darling of the left if you support them. Switch to Trump or conservatives,all of a sudden the liberals want you silenced if not 6 feet under.
I can give you many examples.
Elon Musk,Brandon Straka, Tulsi Gabbard, Robert Kennedy Jr,
Liberals can't handle dissent,they resort to insults at every turn to stop a conversation not going their way.

Act 1.
DC court Judge Amy Berman Jackson appointed by Obama has ruled that SNAP food benefits can't be stopped from buying junk foods and soda. Recipients must buy candy and ice cream too.

Act 2

Biden appointed judge has blocked ICE from making arrests within immigration court areas .Since SCOTUS ruled that district judges can't issue national injunction unless it affects a certain class,the judge decided that all immigrant classes in every state cannot be arrested when they show up at immigration courts. Basically. Another Carolina judgea has tied up ICE agents nationally.


These activist judges are the fruits of Obama. After Hillary Clinton lost judges he appointed led the onslaught in blocking Trump in everything they can. Biden judges follow the same script. One big happy angry democrat family.

Was never that way before.

benalvino3:
Tucker is a democrat. He has never voted a republican. He said he hated Trump with a passion in 2020, his buddy Vance called Trump a nazi.

A lot of these people will pretend and fake till they get what they want.

He is doing a bad PR job. Just as how he tried to screw Ukraine on behalf of Tucker's Russia, he is trying to do the same with Israel.

Awww - so you just gonna dump him in a well ? Just like that ? Why now ? He was one of the most loyal, faithful and dedicated guy who very much helped propell oga to the top.

Hug and pacify him joor.

cococandy:
Fingers crossed.

The problem is people who have workplace managed retirement accounts didn’t get a choice whether to buy it not. Their money automatically got invested in it.

I can stomach a loss on a choice I made. Not one that was made for me. Especially after rules have been bent and twisted to make it happen.

Sorry for the late response, I slept off almost immediately.

Oh wow, I didn't know that.

It'd have been better if the workplace managed retirement accounts have been put in the S&P 500. That would have been better, since it's more stable. Don't you think so?

And yes, I get your point on that.

How USAID Built Color Revolution Infrastructure With NGOs

Everyone is arguing about whether USAID was wasteful. Nobody is explaining what it was actually for.
Yesterday the Daily Caller ran a piece noting that since Trump gutted USAID, right-wing candidates have swept Bolivia, Chile, Honduras, Costa Rica, Peru, Ecuador, and Colombia. The left hasn't won a single Latin American presidential election since the funding stopped. Meanwhile, Ro Khanna went on a podcast and said Elon Musk "possibly sentenced to death" 4.5 million children by dismantling USAID. Musk threatened to sue him.

The right points to USAID grants for transgender operas in Colombia and DEI workshops in Serbia and asks why American taxpayers were funding them. The left points to children who depended on foreign aid claims millions of deaths.
But both miss the purpose of true USAID.

USAID was one of Washington's primary instruments for regime change abroad. Beneath the humanitarian programs, the cultural initiatives, and the development projects sat a much larger objective: managing regime change and color revolutions across the globe.
Which raises an obvious question:
What does a transgender opera in Colombia have to do with regime change?
Quite a lot, as it turns out.

Read on.
The Five Capabilities
1. Media.
Independent outlets. Journalism training, equipment, institutional funding so a newsroom can survive without depending on the local government or corporations for revenue. The function is to ensure that there is an “independent” outlet ready to broadcast Western narratives. You need a megaphone before you propagate a message.

2. Legal infrastructure. Lawyers, legal aid clinics, rule-of-law programs, judicial reform advocacy. The function is to build a class of professionals who know how to challenge a government through its own legal system — and who have the institutional backing to survive doing it. And, yes, build a judiciary that shares the values of liberal Western democracy.

3. Election monitoring.
Observer training, voter roll modernization, parallel vote tabulation (PVT). PVT is the critical technology: an “independent” count run alongside the official one. Without PVT data, people claiming a stolen election are sore losers. With Western-backed election monitoring, they're defenders of liberal democracy.

4. Activist training. Civic engagement workshops, youth leadership programs, community organizing. The grant descriptions say "civic engagement" and "leadership development." The skills being transferred:
How to organize a protest
How to sustain a protest
How to train others to do the same
How to communicate with media
“Nonviolent” discipline under pressure and training.
The result is a trained cadre of people who know how to convert public anger into sustained political pressure across multiple election cycles.

5. Governance data. Procurement monitoring, FOIA programs, budget transparency initiatives, anti-corruption databases. These organizations generate the raw material that the media reports on, the lawyers cite in court, and the election monitors reference in their findings. Without this layer, the other four operate on anecdote. With it, they operate on evidence.

None of these looks like regime change in isolation. A journalism training program is a journalism training program. The system becomes visible only when you fund all five in the same country for a decade and the people running them all know each other because you trained them at the same conferences, connected them through the same fellowship programs, and funded them through the same grant pipelines.

What the completed system looks like
Georgia
Georgia is the country where the full pipeline played out in public, so Georgia is where you can trace it.
Starting in the mid-1990s, American and European money built all five capabilities inside Georgian civil society. USAID and the Eurasia Foundation funded Rustavi 2, an independent broadcaster that became the opposition's primary media outlet by 2003. The Liberty Institute, founded in 1996, drafted Georgia's freedom of speech legislation and ran anti-corruption campaigns. ISFED, founded in 1995 with USAID and NED money, trained 3,000 election observers and ran parallel vote tabulation across ten Georgian elections. NED spent $3 million on Otpor in Serbia, whose trainers then came to Georgia — funded by Open Society, facilitated by Liberty Institute — and trained a student group called Kmara. Same playbook, same clenched-fist logo, different country. And organizations like IDFI monitored government procurement, generating the data everybody else used.
Open Society's own Georgia staff described the scale in a video: "We have been out there, helping every startup in Georgia, almost every organization that came to us with new ideas... There were 16,000 projects supported by the foundation."
Read that again. Sixteen thousand projects in a country of 3.7 million people.
In November 2003, all five fired at once. ISFED's parallel vote count proved the parliamentary election was fraudulent. Rustavi 2 broadcast the evidence. Kmara filled the streets. Liberty Institute provided the organizational backbone. Three weeks later, President Shevardnadze resigned in the Rose Revolution.
The activation was emergent. Every node in the network activated and performed its designed function simultaneously.
After the revolution, Liberty Institute members entered the Georgian government: Bokeria to the National Security Council, Subari as Public Defender, Targamadze to the Defense and Security Committee, Vardzelashvili as Deputy Justice Minister, Zhvania to Foreign Intelligence, and Minashvili as Foreign Affairs Committee Chair. The organizations didn't just support a transition. They staffed it.
USA spending.gov shows over a billion in USAID awards to Georgia from 2008 to 2025. The contract descriptions spell it out: CEPPS received $26 million for "Georgia Elections and Political Processes Activity." East-West Management Institute got $21 million for "build and innovate upon PAST USAID investments in the rule of law." That one is the pipeline describing itself — build on what we already built.

Twenty years later, the Georgian government proposed a law requiring NGOs to disclose their foreign funding. The same network activated: foreign-funded NGOs sustained protests across multiple waves, hundreds of thousands in the streets. Former U.S. Ambassador Ian Kelly explained the dependency on camera: "The civil society is the absolute beating heart of Georgian democracy... it relies quite a bit on EU and U.S. funding."
The Georgian government's response was blunt: foreign-funded NGOs organized the 2003 color revolution, and the same infrastructure activated again when the government tried to make them disclose who was paying.
If this is starting to sound familiar, good. It should.

Now Look at the
United States
The same five capabilities exist domestically. The language softens — "election observation" becomes "election protection," "civil society training" becomes "civic engagement," "independent media" becomes "local civic journalism" — but the functional categories are identical. The funding source shifts from USAID to private foundations. The scale is larger.

1. Media.
The Knight Foundation gave $25 million to the American Journalism Project, which it described as a "first-of-its-kind venture philanthropy organization focused on growing and sustaining independent, nonpartisan, local civic news." AJP has distributed millions in smaller grants. MacArthur gave Howard University $5 million for a "Center for Journalism and Democracy."

2. Legal infrastructure.
The Brennan Center for Justice — mission statement: "nonpartisan law and policy institute that seeks to improve the American systems of democracy and justice."
The Hopewell Fund, an Arabella Advisors fiscal sponsor, hosts Democracy Docket — Marc Elias's election litigation operation — as one of its many fiscally sponsored projects.
The domestic legal infrastructure shapes the legal environment from the outside through litigation, judicial training, and model legislation that state legislatures adopt.

3. Election monitoring.
The Voter Registration Project runs $40+ million per year on private donations. Its grantee, State Voices, coordinates over 700 organizations in 24 states, providing "cutting-edge organizing technology and experimentation access."
The Foundation to Promote Open Society gave the Hopewell Fund $10 million in 2023 for a "Nonpartisan Free Election Fund."
The Election Trust Initiative launched with $25 million from Hewlett, Peterson, and Klarman foundations — and files no independent public returns because its finances are buried inside Pew's 990.
Domestically, 700 coordinated organizations across 24 states provide poll monitoring, voter verification, and legal rapid response.

4. Activist training.
The Alliance for Youth Organizing runs programs on over 200 college campuses. Its 990 describes "local, integrated civic engagement programs that help train and develop new leaders, register and mobilize young voters, and educate young people about key issues in their communities. Our program engages with young people year-round and over multiple cycles, building habits that translate into lifelong civic engagement."
Open Society Action Fund spends tens of millions on domestic civic engagement grants. The capability is identical as Georgia: a trained cadre who know how to organize, mobilize, and sustain political pressure across multiple election cycles.

5. Governance data.
Open Society Action Fund's 2023 IRS 990 lists its domestic program areas: "DEMOCRACY DEFENSE, VOTING RIGHTS, ELECTION INTEGRITY, CENSUS, REDISTRICTING, ECONOMIC SECURITY... COMBATTING MIS- AND DISINFORMATION, TECHNOLOGY AND CIVIL RIGHTS... GOVERNMENT ACCOUNTABILITY AND TRANSPARENCY."
Domestic program expense: $173 million.
Those are NED's foreign democracy categories — democracy defense, election integrity, government accountability and transparency, combatting disinformation — applied domestically, word for word.

The Recognition
Seven right-wing candidates won in Latin America after the funding stopped. The infrastructure that had been cultivated for decades began to weaken because its primary source of capital disappeared. The newspapers survived only if they could find new donors. The NGOs shrank.
That is what people misunderstand when they argue about whether USAID funded transgender operas, journalism workshops, anti-corruption databases, youth leadership programs, or election observers.
Those were never the point.
The point was the network.
A grant to a newspaper is not a newspaper. A grant to an activist group is not an activist group. A grant to an election-monitoring organization is not an election-monitoring organization. Fund enough of them for long enough, connect them to one another, train their leaders together, give them shared sources of funding, shared language, shared objectives, and eventually they become a political operating system.
At that stage, individual grants no longer matter. The system reproduces itself.

Georgia shows what the completed architecture looks like. The organizations did not merely criticize the government. They generated information, trained activists, shaped public opinion, challenged institutions, mobilized voters, and ultimately supplied personnel for the government that followed.
The architecture was the product.
And once you recognize the architecture, you start seeing it everywhere.
Even in the United States.
Especially in the United States.
That is why we see a major nationwide protest every month as long as President Trump is in office.

🚨 JUST IN: Video has been released of suspected vandals DESTROYING the lining of the Lincoln Memorial reflecting pool

Trump Derangement Syndrome seems to be a BRAIN EATING disease. This is INSANE.

This particular incident took place on June 19. Now, even NYTimes is admitting… pic.twitter.com/PdYJUG1jr9

— Nick Sortor (@nicksortor) June 24, 2026

Evans Miller that you dismissed has a report of the pool too.
EXCLUSIVE: Photos prove Pres. Trump report that vandals destroyed Lincoln Reflecting Pool construction by cutting a huge piece out of the sides.

He said the damage showed long, deep cuts consistent with a box knife or knife-like cutting tool.

Construction crews completed work at the Reflecting Pool before discovering extensive damage. A 170-foot gash was found on the south side and a 70-foot gash on the north side. Physical evidence indicated foam and caulking had been cut out. Fence connectors were recovered in the basin. Atlantic Industrial Coating and contractor Eddie Wood were involved on site as repairs were prepared.

U.S. Park Police are investigating. Photos and video evidence have been turned over to investigators.


https://www.facebook.com/share/v/1JiCyPtYYn/

Trump said about 250 meters was slit by a knife ,Emily Miller estimates 240 meter well within the margin.

Suddenly all media is on Trump statement, mocking him for the comments.

When liberal media unites to attack ,there must be a narrative they are spinning.

I think these right wing propagandists forget there is actual video of the incident that people can see.
The absurdity of Republican propaganda: trust not what you say buy what I see.

This is also a problem with AI. It's only as good as the info it scrapes and only as useful as people willing to check the sources it gets its info from.

Rep. Espaillat concedes. Mamdani-backed socialists have officially gone 3/3 and won all of their respective Democratic primaries for U.S. House in New York tonight. Their positions are some of the most extreme & far left Dems have seen:

Darializa Avila Chevalier (NY-13): Abolish prisons, abolish ICE, abolish borders, defund the police, and “all deportations are wrong”, including for violent criminals. She has called the U.S. an “effing disgrace”, and said in a prior social media post “I forgot to get napkins so I just wiped my hand on the American flag behind me.”

Claire Valdez (NY-7): Grant citizenship and voting rights to illegal aliens, use taxpayer funds for all transgender treatments, & eliminate private health insurance.

Brad Lander (NY-10): Abolish ICE, forgive all student loans (almost $2 trillion worth), expand the Supreme Court.

Mamdani gets a clean sweep, a bad night for Hakeem Jeffries, and big questions for where the Democratic Party is heading.

Socialists win big in a New York.

Brad Lander is backed ny Mamdani.
Goldman is backed by Governor Hochul.


Goldman previously served as lead majority counsel in the first impeachment against President Trump in 2019.He also served as lead counsel to the impeachment managers in President Trump’s impeachment trial .
Goldman backed by a pro Israeli lobby lost to pro Palestinian community in Brooklyn.

Thought it was the same case ,this is a different judge.

The court’s ruling, issued June 16, not only awarded Hensley the maximum compensatory damages allowed under the Texas Religious Freedom Restoration Act but also barred the commission from “investigating, sanctioning, or disciplining” Hensley for refusing to officiate same-sex weddings because of her religious beliefs, regardless of whether she continues to perform marriages for opposite-sex couples.

Naaa. Which is why he has lost everyone. Ever since he went to Russia, glorify Russia and started glorifying Shariah law and Qatar.

His base is antisemites, bots, and Islamists now.

So we are talking about the commies now.

The influence he thought he had did not materialize and he is mad about it.

My problem is that JD Vance is his guy and that's the mistake I think Trump made thanks to Don Jr.

You can see that the Republican base is rejecting Vance already because they can see the same antisemitism they see in Tucker right through his pretentious face.
