US Rep. Thomas Massie loses Kentucky GOP primary to Ed Gallrein in another victory for Trump and a loss for checks and balances

I was watching tonight’s primaries closely to see whether Trump still has serious pull in the GOP, especially with his rough polling numbers lately.
My suspicions were confirmed: a huge chunk of the conservative base is still full MAGA. Polls are understating it because a lot of them are lying out of shame.

The highest-profile race was Thomas Massie’s primary in Kentucky — and he just got wiped out by Trump’s endorsed challenger. According to reports, this marks roughly the 7th incumbent Trump has successfully taken out (out of 8 he targeted) for opposing some of his actions. 

From here on out, any GOP member with even a shred of independence is going to leave their spine at home. They’ll be terrified that crossing Trump will end their career. Expect way more sycophancy and zero real resistance to whatever Trump wants to do.

A Super El Niño is coming. The last time ocean temperatures looked like this, millions died.

Look at the left image. That's 1877. The darkest red represents ocean temperatures so far above average that the resulting famine killed 3-4% of the entire global population.

The right image is May 2026.

This is not a drill.

NOAA has now placed the probability of a Super El Niño forming by winter at over 95%. Climate models show central Pacific temperatures potentially exceeding 3°C above average, a level not seen since that 1877 event. The ECMWF's May update has moved to 100% probability of a super El Niño forming by November.

What the last major events actually cost:

The 1982-83 El Niño: $4.1 trillion in global economic losses, measured over five years. Catastrophic floods across South America. Devastating droughts across Africa and Asia.

The 1997-98 El Niño: $5.7 trillion in global income losses. 16% of the world's coral reefs died. Air temperature spiked 1.5°C above normal. El Niño-fueled wildfires contributed to thousands of premature deaths from air pollution.

The 2015-16 El Niño: 100,000 deaths linked to fires and air pollution alone, according to Harvard researchers. $3.9 trillion in economic damage.

Now add climate change on top.

The planet is already at record temperatures. The last decade was the hottest on record. El Niño doesn't cause global warming, but it releases stored ocean heat into the atmosphere, sending global temperatures even higher. Scientists warn this event could push global average temperatures past 1.7°C above pre-industrial levels, potentially shattering the Paris Agreement targets in real time.

This isn't about weather. It's about food security, infrastructure, human lives, and an economic shock arriving at a moment when the world is already stretched thin.

We need to prepare. And not just locally.

A Super El Niño doesn't respect borders. The crop failures happen in one hemisphere, the food price spikes happen everywhere. The floods destroy infrastructure in Southeast Asia, the supply chain disruptions hit Europe and North America months later. The droughts in Africa drive migration that reshapes political systems worldwide.

Preparation means early warning systems, international food reserves, coordinated disaster response, and governments that actually take climate forecasts seriously before the disaster, not after. The 1877 event killed tens of millions partly because no one saw it coming and no one was coordinating a response. We have the science now. The question is whether we have the political will.

On May 2nd, 2026, 3 generations of one bloodline were wiped out, gunned down in broad daylight in their neighborhood. Jay Dempsey, the husband, father, and son in law of the victims, was let go by police despite domestic violence call just 2 days before.

On Sunday May 3rd, in Plant City, Florida, 28 year old Hailey Dempsey, her children, 4 year old Belle Dempsey and 4 month old Kelsey Dempsey, were found murdered after running for their life from their home. Hailey ran for almost a mile with her 4 month old in her arms before she and her girls were shot dead in the street.

Later that morning, Hailey's mother, 55 year old Valerie DeBoe, was also founded deceased in her home, which is in the same neighborhood as her daughter.

Only person who survived this attack is Haileys Husband, **28 year old, Jay Dempsey.**

2 days prior to the murders, police were called to their home for a domestic disturbance. **Hailey had found out Jay was cheating and viewing inappropriate material online.**

No information from police has been released on what came of that Friday, May 1st disturbance call. But all we know is that 4 people were dead by Sunday morning, in a harrowing manner.

Police took **Jay Dempsey** into custody, but released him after "lack of evidence".

Dempsey was seen leaving his home Monday May 4th at 3am with abbullet proof vest and a large duffle bag and hasn't been accounted for since. No update from police either.

PLEASE spread the word and get justice for this poor family.

you gotta remove the space yourself

Smotrich faces ICC arrest warrant for apartheid and war crimes. His response tells you everything.

The ICC prosecutor has filed a secret request for an arrest warrant against Israeli Finance Minister Bezalel Smotrich. The charges include forced displacement of Palestinians, transfer of Israeli settlers into occupied territory, persecution, and apartheid. If approved by the judges, it would be the first arrest warrant ever issued by an international court specifically for the crime of apartheid.

Note the distinction: this is an application, not an issued warrant. The pre-trial chamber still has to review the evidence and decide whether "reasonable grounds" exist. That process could take months.

Smotrich's response at a press conference today was this: "Issuing an arrest warrant for the Prime Minister is a declaration of war. Issuing an arrest warrant for the Defense Minister and the Finance Minister is a declaration of war. We will respond to a declaration of war with war."

Think about that framing for a moment. A court investigating alleged war crimes is the aggressor. A minister facing accusations of forcibly displacing civilians is the victim. The institution designed to hold individuals accountable for crimes against humanity is, in his words, antisemitic.

This is the same minister who said in 2024 that starving two million Palestinian civilians in Gaza might be "justified and moral." The ICC apparently agrees that's worth investigating.
