If so, it won’t work .
If you think of Tucker's anti-Trump advocacy alone, you are probably right. Tucker is not enough of a political force to single-handedly drive Trump from office. But, if Trump does not die, stroke out, or go so completely bonkers that even his most-delusional supporters will have to admit that Trump is insane and must thus be impeached or removed under the 24th Amendment, there is a scenario in which Tucker might be instrumental in taking Trump down.

Democrats win House and Impeach Trump (expected)
Democrats win Senate (possible) and Impeachment trial begins.
A handful of Republican Senators will be needed to assemble the 2/3 vote needed to convict Trump.
Carlson, his 5 million viewers, and a host of other influencers and voters lean heavy on those senators and the deed gets done.

Trump May Lose the US House Before the Midterms

I just learned US Representative Kevin Kiley of California officially left the Republican Party to become an independent on March 9, 2026. That leaves Speaker Johnson with a majority of 1 in any party-line vote.

Kiley is a sitting Congressman who simply and officially left the GOP. He did not do this because the Democrats did something right. He did it because he felt the Republicans did many things wrong.

One or two more defections like that and its "Hello, Speaker Hakeem Jeffries, and hello, Trump impeachment.

Every day ... and it's working.

Since Trump was elected to his second term, how many prominent Democrats or independents have you seen switch directions to support Trump? How many prominent Republicans have you seen switch directions to oppose Trump?

Regarding the general public, how has Trump done in the polls? What is the long-term trend since he began his second term?

Regarding his mental health, how many people have shifted from calling Trump insane or otherwise mentally deficient to proclaiming him perfectly sane and sharp as a tack? How many people have come out anew to speak out about the cognitive decline they notice?

Exploiting Trump's Weakness, China Makes its Move

While this is not yet making major headline news, it will. Keep your eyes on this. It's hard to overstate the significance.

China's move shifts the entire world from a unified global financial order (the old US-dollar-based system) to a fragmented bipolar world. It strips the US of the unfettered power it previously had to easily impose financial sanctions worldwide.

Specifically, On May 2, China activated a "Blocking Order" that makes it illegal for banks to follow U.S. sanctions. Global banks are now trapped: obey the U.S. and get sued/jailed in China, or obey China and lose the U.S. Dollar. The era of the "Global Bank" is over. We are officially witnessing the birth of two separate, competing financial universes.

Empires rise and fall. This May 2 move will be seen by historians as a clearly defined milestone in the decline of the American empire and the rise of China. Trump's "policies," incompetence, and lack of foresight has accelerated this trend. What was a fire that might have been managed and countered in an orderly way has become a global conflagration now out of US control.

Removed from office for being a great president?
Oops! Sorry about that. I seem to have forgotten that Trump is a great president. Just as the American people seem to have forgotten as the polls show, and just as the voters seem to have forgotten as the special-election party flip rate shows (dozens of flips from red to blue, and zero flips from blue to red).

Would it help if I showed you videos of people burning their MAGA hats?

Everything stated in this post is wrong. Kylie Was gerrymandered out of his seat by the Democrat redistricting plan authored by the governor of California And Democrat party leadership. Kylie has to run as an independent but will still caucus with the Republicans According to articles by AP and politico. The one seat majority margin is also nonsense. See link below.

"Caucus with" is not the same as voting independent in House votes."

Gerrymandered out of his seat? Where on earth did California Democrats get the idea do do such a thing? No need to answer, I already know. The idea took root after Texas Republicans did that very thing. Great plan, eh?

Regarding Trump's "Good, good:" Project Freedom, would you be so kind as to provide daily or weekly progress reports?
No update yet? No facts -- pesky or otherwise -- to report?

I heard a news report that two American-flagged ships were successfully guided through the Straight yesterday. How many today? And is the two-ships report true?

There should be great news about this, right? Trump posted it on Truth Social for crying out loud. Certainly there is something more to Project Freedom than two ships. Come on, ships! Come on, Iran! Trump has spoken! Project Freedom is underway! It's time to rock and roll!

No, it started with NY and Illinois. Oh, did we forget about the New England states with zero representation?IMG_4077.jpeg
