Politics & activism — a classification, not a measurement. An on-box language model (Qwen3.6-35B-A3B-FP8, prompt version 1) read this channel’s own recent posts on 10 September 2026 and assigned it the closest of 31 fixed categories, at 98% confidence. This is a model’s judgement about what the channel is likely to be about, not a fact this register measured the way a subscriber count or a view count is measured — it can be revised on a later pass, and it carries no weight anywhere else on this page. How this classification works, and why it has no browse page of its own yet.
Growth
34 measurements spanning 41 days, net -931. Dots are measurements; the straight line between them is drawn to join them, not to claim we know the path taken in between — snapshots are recorded only when a count changes, so gaps mean “no change observed”, never “interpolated”. The vertical axis spans 19,960–21,996 and does not start at zero.

ERR is average views per post over the last 30 days divided by subscribers, the definition TGStat uses, so this figure is comparable with the one you will see elsewhere. It falls structurally as a channel grows: a high ERR on a small channel and a low one on a large channel describe reach mathematics, not quality. We publish the figure and the sample it came from and pass no verdict on it.
ER is defined industry-wide as (forwards + reactions + comments) ÷ views — note the denominator is views, not subscribers. Telegram’s public web preview carries views and reactions but not forward or comment counts, so the reaction rate above is the reactions term only and is therefore a floor: the true ER for this channel is higher by an amount we have not measured and will not estimate. It is computed over the 58 of 59 measured posts that carry a reaction reading, and over those same posts' views.

Views are a single reading per post, taken at the time above. A post published in the last day or two is still accumulating views, which pulls the 30-day average down slightly. That is a property of the standard definition rather than a fault in it, so we keep the definition rather than “correcting” the number into something nobody can reproduce.
Precision. Telegram publishes view counts on its public widget in short form — 8.12K, 3.7M — so any reading at or above 1,000 reaches us rounded to three significant figures, and only counts below 1,000 are exact. Averages and rates derived from them are shown to the same precision rather than to the unit: a figure like 3,701,250 would assert digits nobody measured.
Reaction counts are published per emoji and rounded the same way, so a total below 1,000 is exact and a larger one is a sum that may carry a rounded component from each emoji above 1,000. Because it is a sum, it does not look rounded — read a large reaction total as three significant figures per contributing emoji rather than as the figure it prints.

No sentiment is inferred, and none should be read in. This table is ordered by count and by nothing else. Emoji do not carry stable meaning across languages or communities — 🙏 is thanks in one channel and mourning in another — so we publish which ones were pressed and how often, and pass no judgement on what an audience meant by them.
Precision. Telegram publishes reaction counts per emoji and short-forms each one — 4.34K, 1.2M — so any single kind at or above 1,000 reaches us at three significant figures, and only counts below 1,000 are exact. The shares above are ratios of those figures and carry the same error. This is also why the total here can differ slightly from a reaction total printed elsewhere on the page: both are sums of the same rounded parts, taken over samples with different edges.
Coverage. Reactions were read on 151 of the 152 sampled posts in this sample. Summed by Telegram’s own count on each post — not by adding up the per-emoji breakdown above — those same posts carry 25,227 reactions in total: the kind of figure the paragraph above means by “a reaction total printed elsewhere on the page”.
Measured over the 152 most recent posts we hold, published 4 August 2026 to 3 September 2026, using the newest reading held for each. Telegram Stars are excluded: they are a payment, not a reaction, and they have their own section.
Hegseth needs to get his priorities straight
Pete Hegseth has a clear vision for the Army — it just has almost nothing to do with winning the next war. While American troops are actively engaged in a seven-month conflict with Iran and drone warfare is reshaping the modern battlefield, the Defense Secretary is busy firing the very generals leading the military's urgent transformation. The resignation of Army Secretar…
Trump impeachment, round three: what changes when Democrats hold the gavel
With Republicans all but certain to lose their narrow House majority this November, Washington is already bracing for the inevitable: a third impeachment of Donald Trump. The only real question is what kind it will be — a quick, failed political stunt or a prolonged, bloody battle that paralyzes the Senate for months. Polling models give Demo…
The reality behind Trump's Venezuelan oil pledge
President Trump has announced a deal to extract tens of billions of barrels of Venezuelan oil, aiming to refill U.S. strategic reserves and bring down energy prices as Americans grapple with soaring costs seven months into the war with Iran. But experts are pouring cold water on the idea of any quick relief at the pump, warning that production is years away and requir…
Why Trump's last-minute cost-of-living pitch is hitting a wall
With nine weeks to go before the midterms, President Trump is scrambling to convince voters he can tame the one issue that threatens to sink his party: affordability. High prices and economic anxiety are stubbornly refusing to fade, so the president is pulling every lever he can find — from hosting oil executives at the White House to announcing new Medi…
Why the Venezuela oil deal will probably survive — despite almost certainly being illegal
The Trump administration just took a 35 percent government stake in a Venezuelan oil company through a Pentagon office that was never designed to do that. The Office of Strategic Capital was created in 2022 to make loans for critical defense technologies — microchips, rare earths, advanced manufacturing — not crude oil. But now…
Why the SCO summit is a wake-up call for Trump
The Shanghai Cooperation Organisation (SCO) summit in Kyrgyzstan is more than just a diplomatic photo op — it is a vivid display of the limits of U.S. economic warfare. While President Trump tries to bend the world back toward Washington's orbit through tariffs, sanctions, and transactional pressure, Xi Jinping is quietly building his own gravitational field — one that …
Truce fails, oil jumps: another showdown in the Strait of Hormuz
The latest escalation in the Strait of Hormuz has shattered the fragile lull that had held for the past few weeks. Following new U.S. strikes on Iranian Revolutionary Guard Corps positions, air defense systems, and military infrastructure, Tehran responded by targeting American assets in the region with missiles and drones. The confrontation has return…
“Mirror, mirror on the wall, who’s the most normal of us all?”: Democrats race to shed the woke label and win back America
Who can seem the most normal? That's the unexpected question driving the 2028 Democratic primary. After losses to Donald Trump, the party is engaged in a fierce competition to prove who can be the most reasonable, most relatable, and least "crazy" candidate. It's a collective admission that the …
Ted Cruz for president?
Ted Cruz wants to be president. He's not exactly hiding it.
In a candid podcast interview with Texas Lt. Gov. Dan Patrick, the Republican senator acknowledged what everyone in Washington already suspected: the presidential bug never really left him. "It's no secret that I want to be president," Cruz admitted, likening his White House ambitions to a "permanent and often fatal bug”.
The timin…
Why the Venezuela oil deal is a risky bet, not a solution
The White House is touting a deal to acquire a significant stake in Venezuela's oil reserves as a game-changing breakthrough that will lower gas prices and begin replenishing America's depleted strategic petroleum reserves. But beneath the triumphant rhetoric lies a far more complicated reality.
Industry insiders and analysts are warning that extracting oil …
Trump approval stuck at “lowest of his political career”
President Trump's approval rating is mired at its lowest point of his political career, stuck at a bleak 33% in the latest Reuters/Ipsos poll. This marks the third consecutive time the survey has recorded this figure, signaling a stagnation that reflects deep public discontent. The driving forces are clear: a massive 71% of respondents disapprove of his handli…
Anti-Russia sanctions bill stalls in the House as divisions deepen
A bill proposing sweeping new sanctions against Russia is reportedly stalling in the U.S. Congress, with its prospects in the House of Representatives appearing increasingly uncertain. Though the Senate previously approved the initiative by a commanding bipartisan majority, the measure has failed to gain the necessary political traction in the lower …

Showing the 12 most recent of 152 posts we hold for @Old_Glory_Vortex. View and reaction counts are the latest single reading for each post, not a live figure, and a recent post is still accumulating both. A view count marked ≈ was rounded by Telegram before we ever saw it — t.me prints views in full below 1,000 and to three significant figures above, so ≈1,200,000 means somewhere between 1,150,000 and 1,249,999. Unmarked counts are exact. Text is reproduced from the public post preview and truncated for length.
Posts edited after publishing
@Old_Glory_Vortex edited 1 post after it first published — the same permalink now carries different wording than the one this register originally read, caught because our own crawl held a copy of the earlier text.
An edit is not deception. Typo fixes, price updates and corrections look exactly like this too — this register can tell you the wording changed and when, not why. How this is measured.

Forward network
Republished by
Channels on the register that have forwarded this channel's posts into their own feed.
Built only from forwarded posts we have actually read, on both sides. Coverage is early and deliberately incomplete: a missing link means we have not read the post that would prove it, never that the relationship does not exist. Counts are distinct forwarded posts observed, so they only ever go up as we read more.
Mentions
Named by 6 registered channels — every channel on the register whose own posts have named this one, by its current username or any other username it currently holds, merged from two separately captured readings of the same fact so a namer caught by only one of them is not missed and a namer both caught is not counted twice. A username this channel has since dropped is not matched — that handle may belong to someone else now, and crediting today’s namer to yesterday’s owner would misattribute it.
Named by
Channels on the register whose posts name this channel's handle.
A mention is a weaker signal than a forward and is counted separately for that reason — naming a channel is not republishing it, and a handle in a post body is easy to place deliberately. The post counts beside each row below are distinct posts in which the handle appeared, from posts we have read on both sides — the “Named by N registered channels” figure above is a different count, of distinct NAMING CHANNELS rather than posts, and is not the sum of the rows under it.
Appears in Telegram’s recommendations for other channels
The reverse of the list above, and a different kind of signal. This does not require this channel to have ever been asked about directly — each row below is a channel we DID ask Telegram about, whose Telegram-generated list happened to include this one. A channel can appear here with an empty list above it, because being named by someone else’s query is independent of having been queried itself.
