JD Vance, Pete Hegseth Blast Flakey Fetish Weirdo Tom "Pinecone" Massie In Last Push in Primary Election

But before that the positive case for Ed Gallrein, SEAL and farmer, and the next congressman for Kentucky District 4.

This contest between Massie and Gallrein marks the first time that the incumbent congressman has faced a one-on-one primary.
There is no doubt that this is his toughest race. Voters here have said they've moved away from him, not because of his quarreling with Trump, but because he's made it about himself, not them.
In contrast, Gallrein, a multigeneration Kentuckian with decades of service in the U.S. military, is a relative newcomer to politics. He ran once in a crowded primary race for state senate in 2024, ultimately losing by just a smidge more than 100 votes.
Gallrein spent time away from Kentucky while he was in the military, but it didn't take Kentucky out of him. His drawl is rich and deliberate, and his manners are impeccable. He retired 12 years ago and went right back to getting a little soil under his nails. His family also runs a popular destination farm in Shelby County, in the western stretch of the 4th Congressional District.
In our interview, Gallrein said that he grew up on the family dairy farm, "Which is a contact sport, and for five generations we've been farming in Kentucky for over a hundred years down on the river bottoms," he said.
His military bearing hasn't left him either. When he speaks, he commands the room, which draws the attention of voters interested in learning something new, as he did Thursday night at a GOP dinner in Kenton County.
Gallrein stepped up to the podium. And after connecting with voters over football rivalries, he got right to the point. A call to service led him to join the military, but also to farming and running for Congress.
"President Reagan inspired me to serve in 1983. There were no books or movies [on the SEALs] when I signed up for the SEALs from the farm field in Kentucky. So I left Kentucky and chose the hardest path I could to serve our nation because I had the audacity to think I could make a difference," he said.
Gallrein, who rose to become a Navy SEAL officer and had a career that spanned three decades, said, "I served this nation leading missions around the world on seven different SEAL teams, including multiple times on SEAL Team Six, earning four bronze stars."
Gallrein told the Washington Examiner that when his military service ended, he proudly came home to Kentucky. "Back to the farm, back to my family, back to serving veterans, and I thought my time was over."
That was until Trump reached out to Gallrein last fall to come to the White House for a visit.
"Thirty minutes into that conversation on Oct. 17, President Trump said, 'Ed, I don't have two consecutive terms like President Reagan to enact the agenda that I was overwhelmingly elected to deliver. Every year matters, every month matters, every week matters, every day matters. And every vote in the Congress and Senate matters.'"
Gallrein said that Trump told him, "You need to serve our nation again."
"Then it hit me hard," Gallrein said. "Because I'd already lived a life of sacred obligation as a career SEAL officer, leading troops all around the world. Some who didn't come home. They gave their all."
So Gallrein went home, fed the livestock that night, talked with his family, prayed on it, went to church, and made the same decision he made in 1983 when President Ronald Reagan inspired him. "Duty, honor, country. If not me, who? If not now, when?"

"At some point, being against everything becomes an excuse for accomplishing NOTHING."
"At some point, constant obstruction is not leadership, it's just commentary. It's obstruction."
"President Trump does not need more people in Washington who are trying to make a point, especially from his own party."
"He needs people willing to help him win, to vote with him when it matters the most. And too often, Massie is acting like his job is to stand apart from the movement that President Trump leads instead of strengthening it."
"When President Trump needs backup, Massie wants to debate process."
"When the movement needs unity, especially at the biggest moments, Massie's willing to vote with Democrats."
"When conservatives are fighting the most radical left in American history, too often Massie's instinct is to throw elbows at fellow Republicans instead of the people who are destroying our country or want to destroy our country."
"Understand that in the middle of a fight, you don't weaken your own side, you advance to the objective. And that's what Ed Gallrein understands."

This criticism by Vance is from a TPUSA event in the past, but it's being recirculated now.

"Voting against the party on every single issue. You're eventually going to make too many enemies. It's not one issue or 3 issues it's every single issue. Every time we've needed Thomas for a vote he has been unwilling to provide it"
"When you always vote against the party, you can't expect the party to back you"
The Republican Party is President Trump's party. Massie must go.

Last week, Kurt Schlichter summed up weird sex asshole Massie.

Next week, the people of the 4th Congressional District of Kentucky have a chance to punt that useless poser Thomas Massie through the goalposts of failure. Let's hope they do. This ridiculous clown was merely a tiresome curiosity when the Republicans had a decent margin in the House, but then, he found himself with a little bit of heat because of the current small margin. And he made the best of it, through shameless lies and cringe-worthy self-promotion, going from marginal mediocrity to an active abscess on the buttocks of the party. It's time to lance that boil.
Libertarians are useless at best, and it's worse when they are active co-conspirators with the Democrats. There's this idea that libertarians are actually Republicans who simply like dope, but that's not so. They're like that mythical creature we used to hear about in the '90s, the fiscally conservative but socially liberal voter who inevitably voted however the Democrats wanted. And that's what Massie does, though he tries to cloak it in the garments of principle. It's unclear whether he's ever actually passed any legislation of his own, though he's always eager to propose bills; he's unable to get anyone to join him. That's because everybody hates him. That's because he's a jerk.
Before his wife sadly died young a couple of years ago, he was content to be a fringe weirdo with bad hair and no heat. Once she tragically passed away, he visited a hairstylist, married a leftist staffer 20 years his junior, and decided he needed to broaden his horizons, which meant helping the Democrats and shafting the GOP more openly than before. And perhaps he became a player, too, at least according to a woman who said he tried to pay her 60 grand to shut up about their kinky affair. I don't know if that is true or not, and I kind of doubt it for several reasons including that the idea of a schlub like Thomas Massie scoring is so inherently unbelievable. Still, the story is out there. The primary voters of the Kentucky 4th can decide whether this current scandal matters, but there are plenty of reasons to dump this loser besides unproven claims about his inability to satisfy a woman.
You know, like being the ringmaster for the whole Epstein circus.
The Epstein affair, which rapidly became an idiotic moral panic and an IQ test that far too many people failed, was this guy's claim to fame. Suddenly, this nobody was somebody, appearing on all the regime shows and getting a bunch of press because of his courageous and principled stand. Just kidding. Principles had nothing to do with it. It was his willingness to attack fellow Republicans over the shakiest of shaky allegations. He didn't care who he hurt with his lies. You'll notice above that I carefully set forth that the claims against Massie himself are unproven and merely allegations. That's because I'm not a scumbag who makes unqualified accusations against people when I don't have proof that I find compelling. But Massie had no such compunctions. He was perfectly willing to go out and essentially argue that Donald Trump was the head of a pervert ring and claim that a whole bunch of other people were part of it, and that he had that information, and he was going to see the truth come out. And where is this truth? Nowhere. Nada. A big nothing. He didn't expose anyone because it was all crap. It was all a lie. And he didn't care.
And he still doesn't care that he lies. Donald Trump wants to get rid of this dork and has endorsed Ed Gallrein in the primary. I've had a chance to interview Ed, and he's a solid guy, a straightforward and strait-laced conservative who loves his country. Massie talks about how he's principled and patriotic -- he went on Tucker, who has gone insane, and Tucker claimed that this primary election will show whether a candidate who loves America can win. And it will, but not the way Tucker meant. Ed was a Navy SEAL captain, and he showed his love for America by fighting for it rather than posing for the cameras like Massie did back when the Epstein thing was useful and the regime media still paid attention to him.

When you see people defending Massie passionately and wonder "But how could this weird vain loser nonentity provoke such passion?," the answer is: Because his passionate defenders know what his real agenda is.

Joel Mowbray
@joelmowbray
🚨 EXCLUSIVE
Thomas Massie superfan -- and campaign supporter -- Ryan Matta is a full-blown Holocaust denier.
Among other claims, Matta (who wore "American Reich" gear in photo with Massie) says Auschwitz did NOT have gas chambers, but rather SHOWERS to clean "dirty" Jews, whom he called "disgusting people" who don't shower and thus were "covered in... demonic, gross things."
Matta has created numerous videos purporting to "expose" the "Holo-hoax" and discuss the "JQ."
In short, these conspiracy theory videos are so central to Matta's online persona that anyone familiar with him knows that he's one of the biggest Holocaust deniers on social media.
Given how popular he is in Massie-supporting circles -- Matta is quite friendly on X with Tucker Carlson's brother Buckley, for example -- it is inconceivable that the campaign (or even Massie himself) was unaware of Matta's overtly pro-Hitler views.
Nor does Matta hide that, of course.
He was wearing an "American Reich" hoodie in various pro-Massie social media videos in recent days.
And though candidates take many photos with lots of people, Massie knows how popular he is with anti-Semites, yet he had no qualms taking a photo with someone who stamped himself as "American Reich."
Unless Massie immediately apologizes for associating with Matta and prohibits him from campaign events, then there should be little doubt about the kind of man Massie truly is.

Post here, with video. In the video, this Massie super-fat explains that Nazi concentration camps were actually very clean and provided first rate medical services and that more "J's" (he avoids saying "Jews" for some reason) were born in the Nazi camps than "passed away."

Passed away. They passed away you guys.

I've said it before: Of course not every libertarian is a cryptonazi -- but Nazis have found the "libertarian" flag a convenient Flag of Convenience to fly to hide their actual agenda.

34 If I thought the GOP would hold the House on a razor-thin edge, I would vote for Gallrein. At the end of the day politics is a team sport and there has to be a working team in order to actually accomplish important things.

On the other hand, if I thought the GOP would hold the House with a manageable working majority, I would vote for Massie. We need more voices pushing back against our BigGov-BigTech overlords. The idea that a GOP-controlled House supports the "kill switch" technology letting them disable your car if they decide you are not fit to drive is absolutely infuriating.

And also to demonstrate the quixotic notion that there is at least one single solitary Republican not allied with, bribed by, extorted by, or otherwise controlled by the all-powerful tribalistic Israel Lobby whose compass always points ultimately to what's best for one particular foreign country and its supporters and not grounded in the fundamental principles upon which the USA was founded.

Well, they're fairly new, and they were pretty accurate in the Louisiana Senate primary - they did a poll on the 5th and it was only a couple points off the total.

But the very fact that nobody is polling this race tells you what you need to know.

I've never heard this particular pejorative before. I'm actually curious where it came from. It has to be modern to involve pringles. Unless it first applied to people that couldn't shit in a coconut or something and it got retconned into a pringles can later.

I honestly think it would be difficult to shit in a pringles can, I mean, I could do it eventually but I'd need a few practice shits. Maybe larger targets and then work down towards a pringles can with ever smaller targets.

But once you can reliably target the can then who knows, a pez dispenser, a sewing thimble, anything's possible at that point.

America is allied with Israel because of common culture values, and for a great many of us, God. They are in fact our only useful ally because they're the only ones that will pull their own weight when there's a fight.

The fact that some politicians listen to voters who understand that rather than your weird fringe niche isn't an indication that they're being bribed or extorted or controlled. It means they agree with the other side of the argument you're trying to create.

I say protected.

AI Overview
Muslims are protected in the United States under the law. However, despite these constitutional and federal protections, civil liberties organizations continue to document instances of discrimination and targeted surveillance.

The First Amendment: The U.S. Constitution prohibits the government from establishing a state religion and guarantees the free exercise of all religions. This protects Muslims' rights to hold beliefs, worship, and practice their faith (including wearing religious attire like a hijab) without state interference.

Title VII of the Civil Rights Act: This federal law prohibits employers with 15 or more employees from discriminating based on religion in hiring, firing, wages, and promotions. It also requires employers to provide reasonable accommodations for religious practices—such as prayer breaks or time off for religious holidays—unless it causes undue hardship to the business.

I had audacity to think I could compete out of state in college courses, then be accepted by two hard to get into nursing schools (1 in 400 applicants). I may look like a dumb redneck blonde, but the surprise will be your own. My audacity is genetic and also because people expected me to fail due to simply being where I was from. I had a chip on my shoulder from age six yrs. Get out of my way.

This future leader and US Congressman Gallrein admitted he had it from the farming fields of Kentucky to the SEALS. Fantastic story!

I think the people you're talking about wanted it to happen, they just don't want to be associated with all of the deeds the Palis did to achieve it.

Daniel Greenfield made a great point about that in an article today in regards to Dems and their current love of assassinations. They want them to happen but don't want to be associated with it, so they instead claim all the attempts against Trump were staged.

I disagree. I think it's "game recognizes game," and Gay Race Communists respect fellow con artists willing to lie, rape and murder for The Grand Cause of enslaving the whole human race. At least they have a sufficiently audacious goal, and ruthlessness to match!

The same goal, and the same ruthlessness. The only difference is in their rhetoric and cultural trappings, but those are the scam patter and clique ID of a confidence scheme. Ultimately, the stone-cold sociopaths at the top of each grift don't really care about the details, which is they're merging into one pustulant Islamunism.

I live next to a Vineyard that is, essentially, a Destination farm. The Vineyard is the centerpiece (and does very well), and they'll let visitors pick their own grapes to be crushed and you come back later and they hook you up with your own wine (where you design the label etc.) Additionally, they offer a certified instructor for horse riding, Pick your own peaches, strawberries, apples, raspberries etc...depending on the season. They even offer bee keeping courses. All this is centered around the vineyard and a restaurant where most of their own produce goes into the dishes.

Regarding the OpenAI case, the judge & jury never actually ruled on the merits of the case, just on a calendar technicality.

There is no question to anyone following the case in detail that Altman & Brockman did in fact enrich themselves by stealing a charity. The only question is WHEN they did it!

I will be filing an appeal with the Ninth Circuit, because creating a precedent to loot charities is incredibly destructive to charitable giving in America.

.@USTreasury is issuing a temporary 30-day general license to provide the most vulnerable nations with the ability to temporarily access Russian oil currently stranded at sea.

This extension will provide additional flexibility, and we will work with these nations to provide specific licenses as needed. This general license will help stabilize the physical crude market and ensure oil reaches the most energy-vulnerable countries.

It will also help reroute existing supply to countries most in need by reducing China’s ability to stockpile discounted oil.

************************************
They are stupid. I forgot that being a former supermodel did not hurt my career in nursing and I was never stupid except once on a snipe hunt at 10yrs old.

In college and nursing school professors & classmates underestimated me because I talked slow and looked innocent. To be the only redneck in a sea of 100 Western girls took some belief in my worth. Later this was with surgeons and doctors and others I encountered in the hospital. It did not take long for them to see past my looks as I am no dummy.

Looks fade (well, for some, not me), but audacity remains forever.

Apparently audacious from birth. Asked my mother at 6wks to please put me in my crib and stop rocking and singing to me; leave me to sleep in peace. Age two years I thought I was an adult as that's all I knew. Infamous to all who met me as a stubborn blonde girl in sunglasses and pigtails.
