This is an unfortunate development.
It should be noted that Massie is NOT an establishment Republican of the type that has opposed Trump in the Senate. Instead, he is a Freedom Caucus/ Tea Party/ Limited Government kind of a guy. Yes, he has opposed Trump, but in other ways.
I have seen over the last couple of days some folks who are very loyal to President Trump refer to Massie as a RINO. That is a misnomer. He is much more conservative than the usual establishment Republican. He is more conservative than Trump himself.
I hope Massie affiliates himself with the Constitution Party.
I agree. Very disappointing.
Outlaw, I feel badly about this one. In the political world, he is one of the best in terms of voting record. A huge injustice has been done.
I predict that the Zionist purchase of this Congressional seat will mark the highwater mark of Zionist power. The catastrophic Netanyahu/Trump war will trigger worldwide recession. The tastes in everyone’s mouth as this worsens will open their eyes to how dishonest and genocidal the Epstein class, for whom Trump pimps, is.
November elections will not replace incumbents with better people, but at least it will neuter Judas Trump and lead to his 3rd impeachment.
I agree with you, J. Sobran, that the risk of severe recession is high. That is because of the impacts of the Iran war superimposed upon the other structural weaknesses that were already present in our economy.
I agree that Trump is at risk of impeachment after the November elections. Will the Zionist forces funding American elections on the Republican side recede in power? I don’t know.
Triad, you are right to point to structural weaknesses–many engendered by a Federal Funds Rate (adj. for inflation) that was negative from the 1st quarter of 2008 till the 2nd quarter of 2025–as an additional and important cause of recession. There is huge malinvestment in the US economy that inadequate quantities of oil and fertilizer will not cause but merely expose.
I readily admit my prediction of the fall of a power structure that has ruled for many decades is probably more a wishful hope for justice. But I feel like the coming generation is not buying or will not buy the Zionist crap. (A genocide is pretty hard to hide long-term, even for the Mockingbird media.) And that economic pain will speed their perceptions.
I agree with you about the “coming generation”, J. Sobran. Indeed, the polling indicates there is a sharp distinction between young adults and older adults on the matter of Zionism determining our national priorities.
Massie won the votes of those below 55 handily. The geriatrics who watch Fox News are the ones who voted for the empty suit running against him. Massie is another in a long line of Congressmen eliminated from Congress for not genuflecting deeply enough to Israel. Including several Dems.
There is no amount of money the Zionists will not spend, because 30 million against Massie is a pittance compared to the billions the US taxpayer forks over to Israel in return.
When I worked in a congressional office as a very young adult, J. Sobran, I remember an older man coming into the office attempting to lobby the congressman on the matter of Cyprus where there was a conflict involving Greeks. He was originally from that part of the world. I remember thinking to myself that there should be no reason Americans should feel compelled to intervene in that kind of dispute because Americans with ethnic roots or alliances elsewhere demand that we do so.
The same is true for Jewish Americans with an acute interest in Israel. Unfortunately, some of them have lots of money to throw around, and that is what defeated Massie. But we ought not be bowing before their demands on foreign policy. We ought to act according to national interests, and participate in war only when truly justified.
So Massie will go on to be a regular guest on talk shows until he runs again in 2028.
Fred, were I him, I would go back to running and improving my farm (for which he has immense talents) and enjoying my family. In time, people will be so desperate for some honesty and decency, that they will come to him begging for him to run, hopefully for President. He is a prince of a man, surrounded by the putrid corruption of the Swamp. He doesn’t need any limelight.
Some are speculating he will do a podcast, Fred. We shall see, I suppose.
