Nebraska’s supposedly ‘independent’ senate candidate Dan Osborn is a hot mess. This guy has been caught saying awful things on a hot mic multiple times, it’s truly amazing.

In this latest example, Osborn is trashing his own staff, saying his field team ‘f**king sucks.’

He then goes on to claim that this is why it’s so hard for Democrats (not independents, Democrats) to win in Nebraska. Is he basically admitting that he’s really a Democrat? Sure sounds that way.

Townhall broke the story:

‘My Field Team F***ing Sucks’: More Leaked Audio Exposes Dan Osborn’s Failing Senate Campaign

Fake independent Senate candidate Dan Osborne’s Nebraska Senate campaign is falling apart at the seams, and today we’ve learned that senior staff are jumping ship at an alarming rate. According to Punchbowl News, numerous staffers have left in recent months including campaign manager James Dolan, who left in May.

Communications director Colleen Craig left in July; a recording of her claiming Osborn recruiting Graham Platner to run in Maine later surfaced. Other longtime staffers have also left the campaign in the months and weeks before the general election, which is unusual. Two prominent consultants also left the campaign recently; Daniel Moraff and Morris Katz were part of Osborn’s failed 2024 campaign and played key roles in Graham Platner’s catastrophic Senate effort…

All this leads to even more leaked audio, which may explain why senior staff are fleeing the Osborn campaign. In this latest audio, Osborn admits that “my field team f***ing sucks.”

“First of all, my field team f***ing sucks,” Osborn said. “Because trying to get field people, that is why, another reason why Democrats don’t win in Nebraska, because there’s no hiring pool for that industry for people that want to work in politics.”

Listen to the audio below:

It seems like the only reason that Osborn decided to run as an independent is because he and his backers knew he would lose as a Democrat.

And now he might lose anyway. What a shame.

Conservative commentator Mollie Hemingway of The Federalist made a great point about Trump’s oil deal with Russia during a recent appearance on FOX News.

Hemingway noted that this is a deal that will help the American people, so it’s still America First policy. Trump is still putting the American people first.

She also points out that despite the left’s rhetoric, we are not currently at war with Russia, and that we make deals with adversaries such as China all the time.

Transcript via Real Clear Politics:

MOLLIE HEMINGWAY: Well, the legislation mentioned does include a provision that the president can work within the restrictions of the sanctions. But I think what President Trump is trying to do here is put the American people first and let them have an interest in this ongoing, lengthy war between Russia and Ukraine. People in America are suffering. Farmers in Nebraska, Kansas, and Iowa who are dealing with very high diesel prices. Just normal Americans who are struggling to fill up their tanks at the pump. And diesel is something that Russia has a lot of.

Contrary to what some of those people seem to be suggesting, we’re not actually at war with Russia. We’re not at war with China. We do make arrangements with both of these countries, adversarial though they may be.

And Americans are very happy to help Ukraine, but not when it’s hurting American interests as much as this is currently. We’ve given hundreds of billions of dollars. We provide the technology, weapons, intelligence, and we’re happy to do that in their efforts. But again, this war, which has been going on for a long time and seems to not be near resolution unless the parties admit the reality of what’s going on, is hurting Americans in a way and President Trump seems to be caring about it more than those voices in D.C. who tend to support lengthy wars.

Democrats continually complain about the prices of gas and oil but don’t want to actually do anything about it.

They see it as an election advantage.

Democratic Sen. Ed Markey of Massachusetts has come under attack for a post calling for specific populations to apply for internships.

“I’m hiring motivated and eager interns for the Spring 2027 semester in my Boston office,” Markey posted on X.

“BIPOC, LGBTQ+, working class, veterans, and other underrepresented candidates with Massachusetts ties are encouraged to apply,” he posted.

BIPOC stands for black, indigenous, and people of color.

Many criticized the post.

Crazy that a United States Senator can openly violate civil rights law on Twitter

“Crazy that a United States Senator can openly violate civil rights law on Twitter,” Christopher Rufo wrote on X.

Jayme Leagh Franklin suggested if Markey was so interested in the downtrodden, he should take action himself by resigning his post.

“Why doesn’t Ed Markey, a white man, hand over his Senate seat to an underrepresented candidate??” Franklin posted.

Daniel DiMartino had a question given whom Markey wants to hire.

“Are straight white men not encouraged to apply?” he wrote.

Over at Twitchy, Markey’s invitation to apply was slammed as “the kind of posting that treats identity categories as the main qualification, which is exactly the approach that has drawn scrutiny from people who still think government offices should hire based on competence rather than checklist demographics.”

@DanielDiMartino @SenMarkey They’re probably the most underrepresented group among Democrat party interns, so they really should be as “underrepresented candidates”. I’m sure that’s what Ed means

One poster countered that while the intent might be to discriminate, the post did not technically break the law.

“’Encouraged to apply’ is the key phrase. Seeking a broader applicant pool isn’t illegal. Likely why he put it this way. It suggests a possible intent to classify applicants by demography and/or to the treat them differently, but it’d be illegal at stage 2, not here,” Dan Morenoff wrote on X.

But that did not stop the criticism.

“Just open, blatant discrimination against straight White people. Incredible,” Libs of TikTok wrote.

A chemical engineer in California was caught on video poisoning his female co-worker.

David Xu, 41, a scientist at Berkeley Engineering and Research, had secretly been poisoning his colleague, Rong Yuan, with cadmium for nearly two years.

Cadmium is a toxic heavy metal. Yuan had suffered vomiting and hair loss for two years before discovering that her co-worker was poisoning her.

Rong Yuan saw countless doctors as her condition worsened.

One day, Yuan’s mother noticed an unusual odor coming from her daughter’s water bottle.

This prompted Yuan to set up a hidden camera at her desk, and that is when she caught Xu pouring the cadmium into her water bottle.

In 2019, Xu was charged with premeditated murder, but in a plea agreement, he pleaded guilty to poisoning, and he was sentenced to two years’ probation.

On Monday, a judge granted Xu’s request to have his record expunged.

Yuan still has no idea why Xu poisoned her, however, she revealed that there were times that he told her to pursue other jobs.

KGO reported:

A Berkeley engineer whose co-worker was convicted of poisoning her is speaking publicly about the case for the first time after a court agreed to expunge his felony conviction despite objections from prosecutors.

Rong Yuan said she spent years trying to understand a series of unexplained health problems starting in 2017, including vomiting and hair loss, before discovering what she says was happening at her workplace.

“Shocked. I don’t know why,” Yuan said when asked what she thought after reviewing video she recorded.

For more than two years, she sought answers from countless doctors, but her condition continued to worsen.

The breakthrough came after her mother noticed an unusual smell coming from her water bottle. When cleaning it did not solve the problem, Yuan decided to install a small camera at her desk.

It is pretty clear at this point that Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy can not be trusted.

How many times has he turned on President Trump and America? It is too numerous to count.

Zelenskyy agreed to an energy ceasefire with Trump but his globalist masters had other plans.

On Tuesday — two days after President Zelensky agreed to Trump’s energy ceasefire – Ukraine bombed the massive oil depot in Valuyki, Oblast, Russia.

Via Hormuz Report:

BREAKING: Ukraine has just struck an oil depot in Valuyki, Belgorod Oblast and set it ablaze, despite Trump’s warnings. Over 500 drones were launched into Russia tonight.

It is the first Ukrainian strike on energy infrastructure since Trump’s announced “ceasefire” two days ago.

Ukraine’s response to US threats to cut intelligence and freeze the PURL weapons mechanism if Kyiv were to resume energy strikes was “We will burn Russian refineries.”

As Cristina Laila reported earlier, President Trump on Sunday announced an energy ceasefire between Russia and Ukraine.

“Effective immediately, there is an ENERGY CEASEFIRE in the War between Russia and Ukraine. Both parties have agreed. Do not break it! Thank you for your attention to this matter,” Trump said on Sunday.

Later Sunday morning, Zelensky responded and said Ukraine supports the ceasefire.

“I just spoke with Mark Carney, @alexstubb, and @SecGenNATO Mark Rutte. We discussed the energy ceasefire announced by President Trump,” Zelensky said.

“Ukraine supports the ceasefire, and it is important that Russia support it as well. We are awaiting details from the American side. For our part, Ukraine always FULLY supports steps toward de-escalation, the protection of lives, and the decisions needed to end the war and guarantee lasting peace. Thank you!” he said.

But two days later Ukraine bombed another oil depot – to screw Russia AND President Trump as the midterms approach.

On Sunday, President Trump called for elections in Ukraine. That is the globalists’ greatest fear.

President Trump told reporters Russia wants to make a peace deal but Zelensky does not.

CNN chief data analyst Harry Enten said Monday that Republicans have a substantial chance of maintaining their Senate majority if polling numbers are off by only a few points.

Enten pointed out that the polling industry has consistently favored Democrats in past elections and said it would not take much for the Republicans to hold on to vital toss-up seats.

“Let’s just say we have the 2026 Senate polls, but if the polls are underestimating the Republicans by 3.5 points, which you know is really possible, because we’ve seen it through the history, right? You go back to 2020, that’s basically what happened,” he declared.

“Even in 2024, in a number of the key states we saw it happen, including places like Texas.”

Enten then rattled off several other high-profile contests, some in ruby-red states, and said voters could easily defy pollsters and flip the blue wave narrative on its head.

“How about Michigan? How about up there in Maine, how about in Alaska, how about in Iowa, how about in Kansas — which has been getting a lot of press lately — all of these go red. All these go red, and the Republicans don’t just hold the United States Senate; they hold it easily with 52 seats to the Democrats’ 48 seats.”

Democrats: 48

States:
Michigan: Flip
Maine: Hold
Texas: Hold
Ohio: Hold https://t.co/dVUU90nSHj

Enten’s map didn’t even include potential GOP Senate wins in Ohio, North Carolina, New Hampshire, or Georgia, where Republicans have historically been competitive, if not outright dominant.

If polls are underestimating Republicans in the states that Enten mentioned, and they stay red, the GOP would only need to pick off two swing states to increase their current 53-47 majority.

The CNN analyst also highlighted how the early October generic congressional ballot has underestimated Republicans in 14 of 16 elections since 1994.

“What is going on here?” Enten asked. “And it’s happened by an average of, I believe, what is this — four points. The average is a four-point underestimation of Republicans since 1994.”

Democratic Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer of New York also raised concerns on Tuesday about GOP fundraising advantages, according to a letter obtained by The Hill.

Schumer wrote that control of the upper chamber could come down to an “unprecedented tsunami of Republican money” that has the potential to level the playing field in the home stretch, with only weeks to go until Election Day.

“We have strong candidates, a clear message, and a political climate that offers real opportunities. But Republicans have one enormous advantage of their own. Money,” Schumer stated.

He also said President Donald Trump has the bandwidth to spend between $400 million and $500 million through his super PAC, MAGA Inc., and that big tech mogul Elon Musk has pumped nearly $300 million into the midterm races to help Republican candidates.

Schumer added that other “megadonors” have jumped into the fray and are funding Senate races at rates unlike anything “we’ve ever seen before.”

“That’s the enormous force bearing down on this election,” Schumer concluded. “And it’s a challenge none of us can afford to underestimate.”
