Like President Donald Trump, I grew up in Queens, N.Y. I bet he also spent his fair share of time on the subway, at least when he was young. One of the things that fascinated me as a boy was the “third rail,” the high-powered circuit that snaked through the thousands of miles of train tracks, surging with enough electrical current to fry an elephant. Waiting on the tracks for the RR train in Astoria, I’d stare at the third rail with a kind of vertigo, imagining what would happen should I fall forward and end up touching the power line.

Since retaking office, Trump has boldly tackled a long list of issues Republicans have been gaslit into thinking were “untouchable,” politically toxic, or futile lost causes: immigration, DEI, Roe v. Wade, the Ukraine war, etc. But his most recent post on Truth Social suggests the president is ready to use both meaty hands to grasp the real third rail in our politics: our corrupt, manipulated voting system.

Now the real fireworks start.

I pray that the Secret Service details protecting the president have been purged, beefed up, and put on red alert because America’s enemies — abroad but especially here at home, tapeworms burrowed into the Deep State — are likely to panic now and try something criminal and reckless. Election fraud is their nuclear football, the device with the launch codes, the whole kahuna. If Trump is permitted to cut this cancer out of our democracy, the Left may never win another national election again.

As David Clements explained in his indispensible film Let My People Go, electronic voting machines have the support not just of left-wing Democrats, but Swamp Republicans. There’s a good reason for that: While the Dems use sophisticated, unvetted, and corrupt election machines to steal general elections, Establishment Republicans use them to steal the primaries from conservatives. So a whole coalition of the shilling will unite around this issue and go to war.

Defending election fraud was the point of persecuting January 6 defendants, of imprisoning honest election official Tina Peters and presidential advisors Steve Bannon and Peter Navarro, of the years of lawfare waged against Sidney Powell, John Eastman, Leah Hoopes, and dozens of others. Fox News purged honest anchors like Lou Dobbs and settled a massive, absurd lawsuit from Dominion Systems — which until recently was still suing good people like Eric Metaxas and Mike Lindell.

If you really want to understand this critical issue, take two hours to watch Let My People Go. And pray that President Trump can defuse this IED before it explodes.

The Left’s Fantasies of a Military Coup

Fox News reports on the (paywalled) essay that recently appeared in The New York Times, in which two former National Security Council members, Steven Simon and Jonathan Stevenson, fantasized about the U.S. military defying President Trump’s orders like rebel colonels seizing power in some wretched banana republic:

“Unfortunately, though we (and others) had hoped that the military would only respond to calls to action in American cities and states kicking and screaming, we no longer expect resistance from that institution. Once, perhaps, traditionalist officers might have leaned on protocol and refused to heed a lawless order, taking inspiration from the generals — Mark Milley and James Mattis — who resisted the uprooting of established military standards in the first Trump term.” …

White House deputy press secretary Anna Kelly criticized the article, calling it “dangerous rhetoric.”

“It’s highly concerning that The New York Times would print this dangerous rhetoric calling on our military to rise up against the duly elected Commander in Chief, President Trump. The president was resoundingly elected to restore a focus on readiness and lethality at the DOD, and he is delivering on that promise,” Kelly told Fox News Digital.

But remember what NeverTrump conservatives have been telling us since 2016: It’s Donald Trump who’s the threat to democracy and the Constitution.

The Genocidal Daydream The New Yorker Deems Acceptable

Christopher Rufo is a national treasure. He spends his life exposing the hatred, corruption, and bias endemic among our leading institutions, from Ivy League colleges to marquee magazines such as The New Yorker. (“Disappointing Dental Patients in Waiting Rooms Since 1925”)

Right now, Rufo is digging deep into the public pronouncements of New Yorker writer Doreen St. Felix, who wrote a widely cited, inflammatory essay about how Sidney Sweeney’s blue jeans ad was racist propaganda from an “Aryan princess.” And looky-here at what Rufo found. Sorry about the profanity (if you object, don’t click), but the level of open race hatred St. Felix vents should chill your blood. The New Yorker still employs her in one of the most desirable and lucrative positions in the dying field of print journalism.

St. Felix doesn’t just dehumanize and scapegoat white people. She goes on to claim that black people were the real victims of the Holocaust:

St. Felix beclowns herself in a dozen different ways that qualify her to work for Kamala Harris’s next political campaign, or land her a plum job as Writer-in-Residence at Harvard. People like her are what pass for “elites” nowadays.

No wonder we populists are surging. Carry on, Mr. Rufo!

Is the GOP Prepared to Do What it Really Takes?

For a thoughtful analysis of our current political moment — with an enflamed, fanatical Left and a divided, stumbling Right — see Chris Bray’s essay, “Are Republicans Prepared for Political War?” on Tom Klingenstein’s blog. Apart from Donald Trump and parts of his team, only one side is fighting.

Bray offers a powerful insight into how Leftists form their political opinions:

The affluent white female liberal in Ann Arbor doesn’t say she proudly supports trans kids because she’s given careful thought to the castration of teenagers and the surgical creation of artificial vaginas that allow boys to identify as girls. She signs on for trans rights because declining that position marks her as a right-wing person, which she perceives as a low-status identity. And her friends agree — or, if she expresses doubt, her former friends agree.

Political views are both expressions of social status and the means by which that status is secured. What you believe is who your friends are, where you work comfortably without biting your tongue, which family members are glad to see you. “What do you think about the rights of transgender children?” means “Are you one of us, or are you from the outgroup that we hate?”

The Right, by contrast, is much less tribal, much more likely to fragment over particular issues — perhaps because we operate more like rational human beings than possessed Gadarene swine. But the Left’s mechanism of imposed unanimity does have political power. When an anti-ICE protest is planned, its organizers can count on plenty of warm bodies from the trans, anti-gun, pro-abortion, and other movements. By contrast, pro-life rallies aren’t usually bolstered by Second Amendment advocates and immigration hawks. The same proves true when it comes to legislation:

[T]he gap in party uniformity is also a gap in political strength. Consistently, the Democratic Party achieves unbroken party discipline, while the GOP is defined by the count of the number of legislators who peel off. Democrats will vote the same; Republicans wander around the room, and Thomas Massie would like a word.

In 2024, Senate Democrats demonstrated far greater ideological unity than Republicans, prevailing on a record 94.5% of party unity votes, compared to the House GOP’s 76.6% — itself only a modest rebound from a historic low in 2023, according to Roll Call. The narrow margins in both chambers left little room for dissent, but Democrats proved far more cohesive.

He concludes:

There’s too much at stake to treat the Republican Party as a debate club. In an environment in which any political effort struggles against the social pressures, identity clustering, and status anxiety that define and drive totalitarian regimes, it’s going to become harder to do anything without focus and discipline.

President Trump’s personality and charisma are the only reasons the U.S. isn’t sinking into a suffocating woke tyranny like Britain, Canada, Australia, or Ireland — which lack patriotic leaders of his talent. Pray for him.

Immigration Chaos Means Blood on Our Highways

Revolver News has the story, as usual. It reports on a recent highway tragedy caused by lawlessness at our border — in this case an illegal immigrant from India who should have been deported long ago who was driving a truck.

A horrific nightmare unfolded on the Florida Turnpike. An illegal truck driver made a reckless, unauthorized U-turn that turned deadly and killed three innocent people in the blink of an eye. But this wasn’t just some tragic accident; it was totally preventable, and what went down raises deeper questions about who’s being allowed behind the wheel of these massive semis that are traveling across American roads.

Revolver started digging into the driver, Harjinder Singh. It found that

this isn’t the first time this same illegal truck driver has left wreaked havoc on US roads. In fact, this is the very same man responsible for collapsing an 88-year-old bridge in Arkansas just a few years ago.

That incident triggered lawsuits and should have ended his (illegal) career right then and there. But it didn’t. Instead, he was allowed back on the road, and now three people are dead because of it.

Revolver had already documented that thousands of illegals are driving commercial vehicles in the U.S., thanks to legal loopholes that let them get I.D.s instead of getting deported. And the results are all too predictable:

Anyone who has seen traffic in India knows exactly what’s going on here. It isn’t driving; it’s pure, unadulterated chaos. Lanes mean nothing, stop signs are meaningless, and the roads operate like a nonstop free-for-all of honking horns and near collisions at every turn. The rules don’t apply to anybody. That’s the “training ground” for many of the drivers now operating 40-ton rigs of death on American highways. Is it any wonder they fail to follow civilized rules of the road once they get here?

But remember, our pastors tell us that if you’re not pro-illegal immigration, you aren’t really pro-life.
