Well, he is wearing a turban so all MAGAs instantly know that he's either a Mooslim or something else that's really, really bad.

Matt Gaetz claims he found AIPAC ‘dude’ in hotel room on congressional trip to Israel
Former Florida Republican Rep. Matt Gaetz alleged that his past congressional delegation to Israel included a visit from a representative of the American Israel Public Affairs Committee in his hotel room.Gaetz went on several trips to Israel while he was still a representative for the state of Florida. He referred to these trips as “AIPAC trips,” as the committee funds the often bipartisan travel.
“There is an actual downward pressure from the leadership and even the committee chairs — like if you're on the Foreign Affairs Committee, if you're on the Armed Services Committee, if you're on the Intelligence Committee — there's like an expectation that you go there [to Israel] in some sort of congressional hodge,” Gaetz said on The Anchormen podcast Thursday.
Gaetz claimed there are “a lot of reasons why they [AIPAC] want members of Congress over there.” During one trip, Gaetz stayed at the King David Hotel in Jerusalem and found a visitor.
“I rolled back to my room unexpectedly when the rest of the group was still on some planned activity. There's a dude in my room. I’m like, 'Hey man, what are you doing here?' He acted like he was associated with the hotel, taking an inventory but had no clipboard,” Gaetz said.
On Saturday, Gaetz stood by the story.
Probably a very junior member.
That’s Markwayne Mullin’s old congressional seat; 14 Republicans ran for the nomination in 2022 (it’s likely a lifetime seat or a springboard to higher office). Brecheen won with over 70% of the vote in his two general elections.

In a recent interview with New York Times columnist Ross Douthat, the tech oligarch seemed to suggest that political organizations that expressed interest in regulating the kinds of technology that he (Thiel) is invested in may actually be doing the Devil’s work.
Thiel also rambled on about how he thought the Antichrist might support things like nuclear non-proliferation, international law, and the regulation of AI. Thiel also suggested that the Antichrist could be someone like Greta Thunberg—a social activist who cares about climate change and Palestinians.

funny counter-protestors though
Thiel’s super-exclusive lecture series, which began on Monday in San Francisco, was said to have been about “how his Christian faith informs his understanding of the world,” according to an online ad. The event was organized by a nonprofit called ACTS 17 Collective: Acknowledging Christ in Technology and Society. Thiel has previously spoken at several events put on by ACTS 17, according to reporting by the New York Times. The group’s modus operandi is to court Silicon Valley executives and attempt to convert them to the Christian faith.
It’s unknown to the public just what exactly Thiel said about his “Christian faith” and Christ’s chief antagonist during Monday night’s secretive seminar, but there were plenty of people outside of the venue who were more than happy to publicly share their thoughts about Thiel. That is to say, a group of several dozen protesters showed up to the demon-centric event and offered ample criticism of the speaker, seeming to imply he was, himself, demonic.
In a video taken at the scene, several protesters, dressed in presumably ironic satanist garb, can be seen holding a banner that reads: “The End is Near, Palantir is the Path, Thiel Leads the Way.” One of them, a young woman with an upside-down cross on her forehead, said: “I’m just here to hopefully get a glimpse of the antichrist himself.” Another young woman, seen holding a satanic bible, said she was hoping to get his autograph. A young man holding a sign that read “Embrace Darkness, Hail Thiel,” said, with faux optimism: “He’s the one, he’s the one who’s going to bring about the end!”

Republican Arizona lawmaker makes post calling for execution of Democratic congresswoman
An Arizona Republican state representative who has expressed support for January 6 insurrectionists on Wednesday called for a Democratic congresswoman to be executed, as a response to a video clip.
The comment on X by state representative John Gillette of Kingman, Arizona, first reported by the Arizona Mirror, was a reaction to a short clip drawn from a YouTube video in March by US representative Pramila Jayapal, a longtime Democratic congresswoman representing Washington state, entitled “The Resistance Lab.” In the video, Jayapal discusses preparations for street protests against the Trump administration.
“Until people like this, that advocate for the overthrow of the American government are tried, convicted and hanged … it will continue,” he posted.

It’s not my thing and no judgment at all, but somebody out there is consuming a lot of trans porn.
As a former Republican gubernatorial candidate once explained, it gives you the best of both worlds.

Projection. Seriously, it's projection every damn time with these people. If most Trumpers would just look in a mirror and realize that they are privately doing (or want to do) what they're accusing everyone else of doing then we'd all be so much better off.
