The payoff:

Trump-backed challenger defeats Republican rebel Massie in primary

Congressman Thomas Massie, one of the most vocal Republican critics of Donald Trump, has lost his fight for re-election to a challenger endorsed by the president.

Ed Gallrein, a former Navy Seal, will now compete in November's midterm election after his victory in the Kentucky primary on Tuesday.

I didn't see the vote totals in that report. TYT reported that, with 48% of the vote counted, Gallrein had a 9 point lead. Gallrein is the luminary I posed about yesterday, who was calling for the draft to be spun up immediately, so there will be plenty of cannon fodder in hand, the next time Trump the Peacemaker decides to start another war.

What sort of "rebel" was Massie? He voted with the GOP 91% of the time. He won reelection to his seat in 22 with 65% of the vote. In 24, he won the GOP primary with 75% of the vote. In the General that year, the Dems didn't even run a candidate against him. But, he diverged from Trump diktat on fighting wars for Israel, and covering up the Epstein Mossad honey pot. So, he is crushed by the Israel lobby. This will send a message to anyone else who thinks about pushing back on fighting Israel's wars.
