Engagement
A typical post picks up 108 interactions against 789K followers, an engagement rate of 0.014%. Measured over 16 original posts, its engagement rate beats 38% of 21,185 tracked accounts of a similar size, which puts it in the middle of its size range rather than at either end. Posts are seen about 4.6K times each, and 2.33% of those impressions turn into an interaction. That is about 0.588% of the follower count, which is the gap between an audience on paper and an audience in a timeline. Posting runs at about 0.67 post a day over the last 30 days, though only 40% of days saw any activity at all. Most posts go out around 18:00 UTC, and Wednesday is the busiest day of the week. Of the 16 posts sampled, 88% carry an image or video and 75% link out. The account's strongest tracked post pulled 15K interactions, about 139x its own typical post.

Compared with accounts its own size
Allen West's engagement rate beats 38% of the tracked X accounts closest to it in follower count (21,185 accounts, accounts of similar size (decile 10 of 10)). A percentile is spread evenly by construction, so 50 really is the middle of that group and 90 really is its top tenth.
On engagement per impression rather than per follower it beats 71% of the same group. When those two numbers disagree, the gap is about how far its posts travel rather than how people react to them.
Where this sits in the catalog
At 0.014%, Allen West sits above the 10th percentile of the 212,805 accounts in this comparison. That places it in the bottom 25% band, which runs below 0.025%.

Posting timing
This account posts most often around 18:00 UTC, and Wednesday is its busiest day of the week. The bars below are the catalog-wide pattern, with this account's own busiest slot marked. They do not show how this account performs at each hour: we keep one aggregate per account, not one per hour, so that measurement does not exist in our data.

Formats this account uses
Its own posting mix on the left, and what each of those formats does across every account we track on the right. Only formats where the effect clears our publish test appear here, so an empty row is a format we could not measure rather than one that does nothing.
| Format | This account | Catalog effect | 95% interval | Accounts behind it |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Image or video | 88% of posts | +111% | +108% to +115% | 34K |
| Outbound link | 75% of posts | -41% | -42% to -40% | 32K |
| Typical length | - | no effect | -2% to -1% | 42K |
- 88% of this account's sampled posts carry an image or video. Across the catalog, posts with an image or video run 111% above the same accounts' other posts.
- 75% of its posts carry a link off X. Across the catalog, posts with an outbound link run 41% below the same accounts' other posts, so a large share of this account's output sits in the weakest bucket we measure.
- Its average post runs 244 characters, which falls in the 180 - 280 characters band. Across the catalog, posts of 180 to 280 characters match the same accounts' other posts almost exactly.
These are catalog-wide differences applied to this account's own posting mix, not a measurement of how each format performs for this account specifically. We keep one median per account, not one per format per account, so the second thing is not something this data can tell you.

Last night in McKinney, Texas, the city council voted 7-0 to allow a new mosque and Islamic center to be constructed. I just have to ask, how many city councils in Saudi Arabia, Egypt, Qatar, Pakistan, Sudan, Turkey, Syria, Gaza, or any Muslim dominated country are granting permits for the construction of new Christian churches? As a matter of fact, in Sudan they have murdered over two million Black Christians there and we know of the atrocities in Nigeria. Christian churches and communities are being targeted and destroyed in most of these countries. Funny, ya don’t hear Abdul al-Sayed and Hasan Piker talking about that genocide. Here, especially in Texas, we are experiencing an epidemic increase of Islamic mosques and centers. I have a simple question, why are we allowing the constitutional right of freedom of religion to be extended to an ideology that rejects freedom of religion? Unfortunately we have cowards masquerading as elected officials, McKinney city council the most recent example, who will not pose that question, and respond as they should…say "No!" It’s time we understand that when tolerance becomes a one way street it leads to cultural suicide. Time to say “No” to this intolerant ideology…time to vote for individuals who will say "No!" https://t.co/pJGfrwUIv7

A month ago I was packing for a trip and my oldest grandson Jaxton said he wanted to fly with me and stay in a hotel. That night I planned a trip for he and I to go to Knoxville, Tennessee, where I completed my undergraduate studies. It will be his second trip to Tennessee; when he was 18 months old, we did Thanksgiving in Gatlinburg. He is excited and I am looking forward to our trip to Rocky Top, which I will do with all my grandsons. Grandparents, we have a great responsibility to secure America 300 for our grandchildren. Go Vols! Pictures are now and at 18 months old . . .

Good Sunday afternoon y’all! Yep, just like Barack Obama said, I am clinging to my guns and God (religion). Special thanks to my dear friend and Black Robe Regiment descendant, Pastor John Check, who bequeathed to me a Ruger Mark IV Target .22cal LR pistol. I got back from Eastern North Carolina this morning and put 180 rounds downrange at 7yds. It was an honor spending the 25th anniversary of 9/11 in Rocky Mount, Nashville, and Washington, NC, since that’s where I was stationed 25 years ago. We must be resolute, vigilant, and truly determined to Never Forget! Steadfast and Loyal.

Remember, ten years before 9/11, the Islamists wrote their plan. And they’re executing it, right before our eyes. Read now: https://t.co/2mtlgErt9B https://t.co/QAqwkxiPRw

Howdy folks . . . Just doing some tuning up at @GunRangeMesq in Mesquite, Texas with my Ruger RXM 9mm, 100 rounds at 10yds. Getting ready for an event at Defender Armory Indoor range in Greensburg, PA, this Friday. C’mon out all you Old School Patriots and let’s talk about preserving our Constitution, safeguarding our individual rights, freedoms, and liberties, and defending our Republic. The Marxists are calling for a “violent revolution” because our Constitution is an obstacle to their goals. Not on our watch! Steadfast and Loyal!

Colonel Allen West, combat veteran, former congressman, and one of America’s most respected military leaders, joins me for a powerful conversation marking the 25th anniversary of September 11th. West takes us back to the morning of 9/11, from watching the second tower fall inside a Marine operations center, to learning that a plane had struck the Pentagon wing where a close friend survived, to driving home beneath a completely silent sky and realizing this was the Pearl Harbor of his generation. He opens up about leading nearly 500 soldiers into Iraq when only two had ever experienced combat, and the moment a frightened young soldier asked what he feared most. His answer: failing the men he was responsible for bringing home. West also recounts the controversial interrogation decision that ultimately ended his military career, and why protecting his troops mattered more to him than protecting his rank. We also talk about faith, family, the lessons passed down to him by his father, the military legacy our families share, and why he still believes America’s greatest days are ahead. Tune in for an impactful conversation about service, sacrifice, conviction, and leadership on this new episode of The Sage Steele Show. @AllenWest

A typical post picks up 108 interactions against 789K followers, an engagement rate of 0.014%. Measured over 16 original posts, its engagement rate beats 38% of 21,185 tracked accounts of a similar size, which puts it in the middle of its size range rather than at either end. Posts are seen about 4.6K times each, and 2.33% of those impressions turn into an interaction. That is about 0.588% of the follower count, which is the gap between an audience on paper and an audience in a timeline. Posting runs at about 0.67 post a day over the last 30 days, though only 40% of days saw any activity at all. Most posts go out around 18:00 UTC, and Wednesday is the busiest day of the week.

- What is Allen West's engagement rate on X?
- Allen West (@AllenWest) has an engagement rate of 0.014%, based on the median interactions across 16 original posts from the last 30 days against 788,550 followers. Replies, reposts and quote-posts of other people are excluded from that sample.
- Is that a good engagement rate?
- At 0.014%, Allen West sits above the 10th percentile of the 212,805 accounts in this comparison. Those comparison accounts are all large ones, because our scanning cadence is weighted towards big accounts, so this is a ranking among peers of similar scale rather than a ranking across X.
- Does @AllenWest have real engagement?
- Its engagement rate beats 38% of the tracked X accounts closest to it in follower count (21,185 accounts), which puts it in the middle of its size range group. Ranking inside a size band matters because engagement rate falls as accounts grow, so a raw rate would mostly re-measure the follower count. It is a starting point for a look at follower quality, not a verdict on it.
- When does @AllenWest post?
- Most posts go out around 18:00 UTC, and Wednesday is its busiest day, at roughly 0.67 posts per day across the measured window.
