Joe Kent-
Watching Republican Congressman Thomas Massie lose his primary two weeks ago stung for anyone who backed President Trump’s 2024 platform but now feels disenfranchised by how President Trump has governed since his return to the White House.
Massie has been a staunch defender of liberty for over twelve years in Congress. He voted against wars, against wasteful government spending, against infringements of our civil liberties and our Second Amendment rights. He has also championed efforts to expose the corruption of our national security institutions. With a track record like that, you would have figured that Massie and Trump were natural allies. But it’s becoming increasingly clear that Trump changed, while Massie stayed true to his values and to his constituents in northern Kentucky.
Massie drew national attention early in the Trump administration by pushing for the release of the Epstein files and by naming names: some of the most powerful men in the world were allegedly involved in horrific and disgusting crimes against women and children. This kind of transparency and direct assault against the corrupt elite was more than just what President Trump ran on—it was the entire sprit of MAGA.
Trumpism from 2016 to 2024, at its core, meant boldly calling out the failures and crimes of the ruling class that had ruthlessly harmed working Americans for so long. It meant opposing endless wars that sent young men and women from the heartland off to die in Fallujah and Helmand. It meant going after the fat cats on Wall Street who shipped jobs overseas, opened our borders and bank accounts to hordes of immigrants, and looted the country. It meant challenging the faceless intelligence and law enforcement officials who illegally spied on and prosecuted law-abiding Americans while criminals ran amok on our streets. Trump promised retribution. He and allies like Massie promised accountability.
The Epstein files were a perfect starting place to carry out justice. They exposed both the utter depravity of the elite, and a cabal that operates above the law— as we all saw when Jeffrey Epstein was killed in a maximum-security federal prison and the government attempted to sell it as a suicide.
When President Trump won the election, he and his administration repeatedly messaged that they had been delivered a mandate by the American people—one which would ensure every campaign promise Trump touted would be met. Massie, along with Congresswomen Marjorie Taylor Greene, Lauren Boebert, and Nancy Mace, took this mandate seriously. They pushed for the files to be released. These legislators believed, like most of us at the time, that President Trump would lead the charge for accountability. After months of promises and one sloppy stunt with X influencers and binders, we got nothing but stall tactics.
What came next will be looked back on as the beginning of the end for MAGA. President Trump was enraged that these representatives were actually demanding he deliver on a key campaign promise. Over the summer of 2025, Trump attacked, mocked, and threatened to purge anyone in the movement who kept pushing for the files to be released publicly. Thankfully for We the People, Massie and his fellow legislators refused to back down. In turn, Trump viciously went after, then formally excommunicated, MTG, and vowed to primary Massie.
Thankfully, to break the gridlock, Massie, MTG, Boebert, and Mace partnered with Democrats to pass the Epstein Files Transparency, which demanded the immediate release of the full files by law. This is what gave our first look into the files, but much more is still being hidden from us by the Department of Justice.
In addition to the Epstein files, one of Massie’s greatest sins was refusing money from the Israel lobby, and then, most egregiously, explaining to the American people how that lobby buys members of the Congress and Senate, thereby exposing how our rotten system is purchased out from under us. That was probably the final straw.
Trump and the Israel lobby spent months recruiting and funding an empty suit—someone who would be compliant instead of principled—to run against Massie. To say they funded his opponent would be a gross understatement; they pumped nearly $40 million into the race. The opponent refused to debate Massie or do any hostile interviews. In a completely unprecedented step, Trump even flew the Secretary of War out to Kentucky to campaign for him while we are at war with Iran, a war Massie opposes.
The money and the pressure worked. Massie lost his primary, proving once again that big money can buy an election.
So what’s the silver lining? It’s simple. Everything is now out in the open. This level of coordination and corruption can’t be easily obfuscated or replicated on a large scale. The Israel lobby can’t spend $40 million in every congressional and Senate race. More importantly, the demographic split in Massie’s district shows that younger voters are done tolerating leaders who protect the ruling elite and foreign lobbies pushing more endless wars.
This is good news. Younger voters are informed and not easily swayed by big media ad buys on cable TV and radio, AI slop on Facebook, and mailers aimed at low-information audiences. They get it. If we can reach them, earn their trust, and get them to vote, and we have a real path toward winning in 2028 up and down the ballot.
Massie has proven that we can build a serious anti-elite, anti-war coalition that includes younger Democrats dealing with the same issues in their party and, most importantly, independent voters. Most Americans don’t strongly identify as Democrats or Republicans, but consider themselves independents. Most want accountability for what the corrupt elite has done to this country, and most want to stay out of more wars. That’s a strong foundation, which leaves us with a tangible call to action.
We need to build a broad coalition around these principles and stop letting the usual partisan fights divide us. The stakes are high. The war in Iran is dragging on, the balance of global power is shifting, and the advancements of AI and surveillance tools are giving more power to the same people who protect the Epstein class, increasing the threat to our freedoms each day.
We have to move fast. I intend to do everything I can to help build that coalition to defeat the corruption. I hope you’ll join me.

Joe Kent and a traitor -
What happened to you Joe Kent???
War is inevitable
Helping Democrats win elections and fight against the Save Act isn't MAGA or America First. How many Americans have been murdered, blown up, or dismembered in the 47 years of the Islamic Republic of Iran. What do you think the Mullahs will do with the 10 nuclear bombs that they have enriched enough nuclear material for.
Never seen any of your stuff before, but you’re dead on. Anyone that can’t see Trump has changed is as mindless and brainwashed as the democrats that couldn’t tell Biden had suffered a massive episode with his dementia. Mindless obedience to a party over country will be (has already been?) the downfall of this country
TRUMP he does what Isreal tells him to do and could care less about the people who really kept faith in him.And its just bad that good people like Mr Kent would rather resign than be a part of it.
Washington resident since birth and hate what has happened to our state. I was very disappointed when you "left" the other Washington. All I believe is "splitting" ,Rinoing, infighting what ever you lable it is wasting time and resources! Trump is not perfection but he is the most driven resource and president we have had in decades! Our Washington state continues fighting for TDS and illegals, loosing federal $$ putting tax paying citzens further into debt or fleeing to survive. Too much wasting time and money fighting for the wrong priorities! Citizenship the original way it was intended, once it is earned! AMERICA FIRST!!
Hey everyone. I don’t and never have followed politics. I don’t know Mr Massey or anything about him. I do know Mr Gallrien. I graduated with his sister and my sister graduated with Mr Gallrien in 1976. We all went to school in a small ky rural town of about 10,000. Ed Gallrien is a stand up guy. that’s all I am saying. Politics aside
Im 66 , hubby 72 , we are pro massie anti rino since RON PAUL REVOLUTION in 2008 , afraid its too late for our generation , left my church over the lsraelPhiles lost friends too . Dont care these are too dumb brainwashed people , tired of the evil being promoted via complacency and cover ups
Why don’t you join the Westboro Baptist Church you seem like a natural fit
Sign me up Joe Kent!!!
Yes law enforcement is still very Weaponized against Americans especially quiet bookish Americans.
privateamerica.org/voice - BE HEARD !!!!!!
Hand count paper ballots ONLY...........FULL STOP!!!!!!!
Change it to America only…. The American first has been high jacked 🤷♀️
America first is not a feature of the mainstream media or long term warmongering, corrupt politicians.
Massie is out. Good Riddance!
Jacko would say GOOD! What’s next I’ll be there!
Speaking as someone from Kentucky, who also doesn’t agree with some of the things Trump does, Massie wasn’t the answer. Maybe you should be from Kentucky before you bash the people of Kentucky that voted against him.
MAGA cucks gonna cuck in the comments. THANK YOU, JOE!!! 🫡
I love it, but you will need the FISA surveillance files that were NOT ALLOWED to go from the FBI-WFO to the DOJ or Congress. There are currently 2 FBI insiders with 30 years of Epstein related FISA surveillance files. They need a megaphone and WE NEED WHAT THEY HAVE, if this idea needs to get off the ground. Note: When Massie was approached, he said No, he wouldn't help get these to Congress. He won't help with informing the public either. The People need to know. There is a long history of FISA surveillance and footage of crimes, all court approved, not getting to the DOJ, but being used to compromise all 3 branches of government and the media. It's bigger than money in politics, which is bad. I can help connect you, if you're interested. I'm very close friends with FBI WB, Sibel Edmonds, who they went to for guidance. I put this in the VE DM and you can reach me there or try Sibel directly, Patreon SibelEdmonds or X @newsbud_ I can connect you quickly and then stay out of it. I'm here to help. We need to clean our own house first, or they will continue to compromise anyone we put forward. Thank you!
This is why Counter Intelligence is not getting to Counter Terrorism, as well 💡
Wonder why he lost !!!
Massie is most likely going to run for Governor of Kentucky.
1 less RHINO !!
This is what we need. When Charlie was assassinated many people have opened their eyes to how corrupt our government is. I tell people all the time on X that there isn’t no left or right anymore. We just need someone to lead us. If you’re that person then I’m 100% behind you and I know many others who will stand with you. I guess I’ll for sure have to become a member on here. All I’ve been doing is saving my extra money to buy Shawn’s s’mores treats! Those things are the bomb!! 😎 Thank you and thank Shawn Ryan for getting this message out to us
Yikes! Joe, too much acrimony & too little common sense. Reminds me of the old book, Broadway play & Elvis Presley movie, “Stay Away, Joe”. Please, take a break, get your balance back. Take care.
Thank you Joe Kent For your sacrifice and staying in the fight
It's a shame about Massie. I like Robert Barnes point of view as well as yours. Don't feed the trolls.
The “Dark Money” sways ppls opinion by tv advertising??? I get tired of this weird trope that takes away all human agency…. Massie lost because he did the opposite of what HIS constituents want . This woke right is othering our own side … they’ll b the reason we destroy our own country… hand-in-hand with the lady who can’t even tell us what a man or woman is .
so you believe propaganda is ineffective? TV ads have been known to sway polls forever. Maybe try reading about the allegory referred to as Plato's Cave and see if you can find the characters in it who represent your comment. 🧐
Edit- TL/DR: Massie getting ousted is just another sign of things to come, and just the tip of the iceberg of schemes they have planned. No one is safe if they go against this now pretty obvious agenda. Both the left and right are on the same team. Don't forget about the AI/ surveillance/ control class. Still basically the same people behind it all, running full steam ahead. It's amazing what Republicans will put up with and what rights/ freedom/ privacy they'll give up when it's "their guy". He has done a 180° flip flop and the swamp is as full and corrupt as ever with him as the actor/ puppet in charge. Every extreme agenda that gets pushed through gets pushed through because of the polarization of the people by left or right candidates using what I call the wrecking ball technique. Last term, it was "Joe's" turn to push the wrecking ball with extreme stuff like completely opening the border and trying to erase gender etc etc, so they rally the left behind them with buzzwords and other propaganda, getting that wrecking ball of public opinion swaying really hard. Then along comes trump as the guy who's gonna fix it all, and all he's done is make our country more polarized as ever while making every country on the world hate us (that was on purpose) all while spending even more borrowed money and grabbing retirements and inheritances through inflation...the wrecking ball swings wildly the other way and he's able to push through stuff like what we're seeing now. Many people are finally seeing through the theatre, shunning the highly polarizing/ division of the team sports mentality, and realizing the only way we're going to fix things is to get both the left & right kicked out of our government. Unfortunately, there is an unimaginable amount of power being wielded by very powerful forces and it is ruining this country. It really is good vs evil. Not left vs right, gay vs straight, black vs white, it's top (the top .001%) vs bottom. Real estate is the last tangible asset where the people hold any power, and there is currently a covert war being waged to grab or control every last acre (and the water that goes with it) from the hands of the many, for the benefit of those top indiviuals. That war will be ramping up even harder in the near future through regulations, environmental, sky high taxes, imminent domain, et al. We're seeing the start of it now with the extremely powerful data center land grabs. These are very powerful forces, able to buy off local leaders/ boards (or who know how they influence them😯). Tax assesors and the epa weild an incredible amount of power, and look for them to start ramping up the land grabs along with data center land/water grabs. People better wake up and rip off that political veil they've been conned into looking through and filtering their thoughts through their whole lives, or it's just going to keep getting worse. Yes, it's hard to admit you were wrong, but what is at stake? Our very freedom. The agenda is being accellerated, it's getting to the point where they dont care if you notice, and Massie getting ousted is just one more piece of very obvious evidence that points to it. Wake up people!
Paid haters shitpost against Massie.
