from Israeli media:

The most consequential Republican primary for Israel is happening in Kentucky

Pro-Israel Groups Pour Record Sums Into Bid to Defeat GOP Rebel Thomas Massie in Kentucky Primary

https://www.haaretz.com/us-news/2026-05-19/ty-arti...

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.


https://www.bbc.com/news/articles/cwy2vw8j0ddo

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.

Yep, it's Da Jooooos.

Massie is an antisemite. Has been for years.

Rep. Thomas Massie has conceded his primary race to his Trump-endorsed challenger Ed Gallrein. The concession speech provided quite a few eye-opening comments that remind you just why Massie won’t be in Congress come January.

Massie began the speech announcing his electoral loss by claiming that he had “to find Ed Gallrein in Tel Aviv.” Massie, whose campaign sent out a last-resort fake text to trick voters into believing that he had been endorsed by President Donald Trump in the current cycle, claimed that “we’ve been honorable the whole time, and we are going to stay that way.”


And he's full of crap.

Tis why I've been saying......

IF Americans weren't tribal.

And were willing --- to register as Republicans JUST for this promary----and vote FOR Massie and his ilk---


1.)Blow to AIPAC

2.)Shown politicians -- there's still life after AIPAC

3.)Show Republican congressmen - it's ok to challenge unconstitutional governance and you'll keep your seat.

But instead we had BALLROOM! EPSTEIN!!!!

Trump wins again.

AIPAC wins bigger.

Funniest part is AIPAC doesn't give a shit about those primary voters, other than quoting one part of the Bible every once in awhile.
