After tonight, it’s even clearer that the Senate should take the SAVE America Act and continue debating it until it passes
Repost if you agree
TRUMP CALLS ON ALL AMERICANS TO PICK UP THE PHONE TOMORROW (7/17) TO CALL THEIR US HOUSE AND SENATE REPRESENTATIVES AND DEMAND THEY PASS THE SAVE ACT.
DO IT.

Jesus was a sacrifice for you!
PSA for the win! You won't find a deal like this at this quality level anywhere.
There's just no excuse not to be armed
@palmettoarmory
Careful, @JDVance, your antisemitism is showing again.
Now look, I actually SUPPORTED the MOU. Very publicly, in fact. In op-eds, on major shows. So you can't call me an operative of the Israeli government. I supported the MOU as worth a shot even though I believed Iran would violate it.
You failed and...here we go again. You blame the Jews. You dismiss your ties to Tucker as ludicrous. Huh? His son worked for you. He got you the gig you're in. Be straight with us.
Why is it that anything that ever goes wrong is because of the Jews? And why is it that every time you blame the Jews, you call it something that is "well funded." The "Israel Lobby" is but a pittance of the lobbyist money that goes to America and to American politicians. It's a pittance even just among lobbies tied to other countries.
And why is it that you conceal that this Cabal that was against you and the MOU was in truth a huge organic movement by AMERICANS and who had no idea of this "well funded" secret campaign that you're talking about, nor was there even time to be influenced by it?
You and the MOU were taking widespread hits from AMERICANS before the MOU text was even released! So your story doesn't hold water.
We all know why you do it. Being antisemitic is cool! And easier than ever. And you're a master at using that hate to make excuses for your failures and gripes with the world.
Islamism and Socialism is destroying America as we know it, but you're unconcerned about that. Somehow the problem is .02% of the world's population. Those pesky Jews.
I will tell you this. I voted for Trump three times.
But I will never vote for you.
JD Vance claims the people online disagreeing with his Iran deal were part of an Israel-funded op.
I was one of the people disagreeing online. I’m a nobody. I was not paid. I was not part of an op. I’m just a normal conservative American who thinks granting legitimacy and cash to a terrorist death cult sworn to kill us is a bad idea.
In fact, the majority of American conservatives think this. We thought it when Obama did it, and we think it now.
Vance’s dismissal of honest disagreement from his core constituency of Christian conservatives as a “foreign op” is extremely insulting.
This.
Evangelicals will NOT get behind JD Vance until he changes his tune on Israel — that’s non-negotiable.
I’d vote for him over any Democrat, but I won’t campaign for him. Something feels off… like he secretly dislikes Israel but won’t say it out loud yet.
America First should include standing strong with our greatest ally.

@SenToddYoung Let's see some leadership here.
Yes, the Senate won't approve the bill to stop funding the Taliban. That's how little regard many of our politicians have for those who served in Afghanistan and fought terrorists around the world.
One of the concerns raised is that the bill could reveal where all of this money is going. I'm not kidding. Rather than bring transparency, they keep the funding flowing.
Taxpayers deserve the truth. Continuing to allow U.S. funds to support terrorism is unacceptable.
Christian, pray for your persecuted brothers and sisters.
Nigerian Christians have passed the breaking point. They are in real trouble. Learn about what is happening right now on the ground in Nigeria.
A long read, but a good one.
This is a great example of how propagandists lie.
1 - The Claim:
Former CIA officer, John Kiriakou, says he has a friend who was going to give a speech at Georgia State University, but they sent her the contract in advance, and part of it was a requirement that she "swear allegiance to Israel."
He says that she refused because she doesn't have allegiance to Israel, and that GSU said that she can't be a contractor with them unless she "swears fealty to Israel," and she said "no," so they cancelled her speech. So she sued, and she lost in the Supreme Court of Georgia.
He also goes on to say that all 50 US states give money to Israel, that it's a line item in their budgets.
2 - The Context
First thing you need to know is, who is John Kiriakou? He's a former CIA officer who was fired and arrested for sharing classified information. He spent two years in prison, and after coming out he has worked for Russian State Media enterprises such as RT News. Almost everything he says about the United States is extremely negative, while he gives praise to Russia, Iran, and other enemies of the US.
Now, about the story he told. The "friend" he mentioned is a journalist and filmmaker named Abby martin. And the contract requiring "allegiance" and "fealty" to Israel? Such a contract does not exist. What he's referring to is actually a requirement that individuals and businesses eligible for state contracts may not engage in BDS (Boycott, Divestment, and Sanctions) activities against Israel. The BDS movement, as you may or may not be aware, is a rabidly antisemitic movement led by groups like the Council on American-Islamic Relations (CAIR) and the Muslim Brotherhood (ok CAIR essentially is the Muslim Brotherhood) to undermine Israel. Wise individuals, organizations, and governments have recognized that everyone involved in BDS is completely unhinged, and shouldn't be recipients of state contracts.
Oh, and, speaking of CAIR: Kirakou's "friend," Abby Martin, was actually represented by CAIR in the lawsuit.
3 - Unpacking the Lie and its Impact
So the lie is that he said Abby Martin was told to sign a contract that required allegiance to Israel, and that's not what it was at all. She just couldn't be involve in BDS stuff, which is known to be antisemitic and terrorist adjacent at least.
He then just *drops* this non sequitur about all the money that US states give to Israel, calling it a line-item in the budget of all 50 states. That's simply not true. Not only is it not true, it's not even *partly* true. Not one state gives money to Israel. There are states that have investment portfolios (such as for their pensions/retirement benefits etc.) that invest in Israeli bonds, but no money is simply given to Israel. You may wonder why they'd invest in Israeli bonds? Well, because they pay quite well. They typically yield between 0.825% and 1.25% higher than US bonds.
Kiriakou tells his lies with great conviction. There's a basis of truth in each of his lies. Martin did refuse to sign a contract, and it was related to Israel. There is some state money that goes to Israel, though its an investment, not a gift, grant, or foreign aid. Because there are elements of truth, and because he says it with confidence and authority, the average person might just watch the video and move, assuming that everything in it is true.
But it's not just one video. It's hundreds. Thousands.
If someone spends an hour looking at reels per week, it's likely that they'll see a dozen or more anti-Israel videos in that time. All making various claims. None of them true. None of them substantiated. But how many people are pausing those videos and looking up the information? Very few.
And this is exactly how we see entire populations get led into antisemitism. Over the last several years (since 2022) in the US we've gone from 41% of the population having a negative view of Israel to 60%. In 2022 just 10% of Americans had a very unfavorable view of Israel. Now it's 28%.
This is not organic. It's not spontaneous. It's not natural. It is artificial and manufactured, and it's the direct result of dishonest propaganda videos just like this one featuring John Kiriakou.
This evil is causing lasting damage to our nation. Antisemitism is on the rise, sharply. The number of Jewish people choosing to leave the West in general and the US specifically is increasing. As more Jews leave, the likelihood of increased antisemitism goes up, not down, and antisemitism is a mind virus. It breeds insanity. As people are swept up in it they become stupid. If that stupidity grips our nation, it will not only be supremely evil in the impact it has on Jews, but also on the impact it will have on our ability as a people to run a nation with any kind of sanity at all.
Look at the pro-Palestine people, the Rashida Tlaibs, the Ilhan Omars, and the Zohran Mamdanis of the world. They don't love America, or American values. They hate America and American values. The more anti-Israel and antisemitic people become, the more they resembled these un-American psychopaths.
You want to stop the spread of Islam in America? You need to recognize that sowing our nation with hate for Israel and Jews is a major part of the spread of Islam. If you want to defeat Islam, you have to defeat the lies its agents are spreading. You have to reject the lies, and refute them boldly so that others are equipped to do the same.

PAX AMERICANA 🇺🇸
AM YISRAEL CHAI 🇮🇱
One day, a man discusses the future of countries. The next, the country discusses him in the past tense. He was gone between two sunsets.
A dead man’s calendar can still look busy. Meetings remain written in their squares. Unanswered messages wait inside a glowing screen, each one addressed to someone who can no longer reply. Death does not clear the desk before it enters the room. It simply comes.
Lindsey Graham’s sudden death still places a cold hand upon every living shoulder. It reminds us that tomorrow has never signed a promise to return. We build our lives upon the quiet assumption that another day waits nearby. Forgiveness is saved for later and hard conversations remain buried beneath the hope of a better hour. Christians sit across from people they love, talk about weather, politics, ball games, grandchildren, and supper, then swallow the name of Jesus because the moment feels uncomfortable.
Meanwhile, the clock keeps moving toward an appointment written on a calendar we cannot see, “It is appointed for men to die once and after this comes judgment” (Hebrews 9:27).
That word, appointed, removes death from the realm of chance. God knows the hour when each heart will beat for the last time. We often reschedule dentists, cancel lunches and move meetings into next week. This appointment remains fixed. Our ignorance of the date never changes its certainty and scripture refuses to paint death with soft colors. Death entered the world through sin. God formed Adam from the dust, breathed life into him and placed him beneath the goodness of His rule. Adam rebelled, and then humanity followed. Every grave now carries us back to Eden, where the creature reached for God’s throne and found dust waiting beneath his feet.
Death feels unnatural because it is an intruder. It tears souls from bodies, husbands from wives, parents from children and voices from rooms that still remember their sound. Beneath every funeral lies a greater terror. After death comes judgment.
Power cannot bribe that court. Reputation cannot sway its verdict. Religion cannot hide the stains we carried beneath our Sunday clothes. Every secret enters the light, where excuses fall silent. The holy God before whom angels cover their faces will judge us with perfect righteousness.
Our need reaches far deeper than a longer life. We need a Savior. Jesus entered our world of hospital rooms, funeral clothes and sealed tombs. Outside the grave of Lazarus, He heard the broken voices of two grieving sisters. He saw tears running down familiar faces. Then the One who knew He would soon raise the dead stood beside them and wept. Those tears reveal the heart of Christ. He never treats human sorrow as a lesson to be delivered from a safe distance. Christ steps close enough to feel the ache. Yet compassion alone could not rescue us. Guilt required payment. Death required a conqueror.
So Jesus turned His face toward Jerusalem. Soldiers drove iron through the hands that had touched lepers and lifted children. The mouth that spoke peace to storms tasted sour wine. Darkness covered the land while the sinless Son of God stood in the place of sinners. The lies we defended, the pride we fed, the lust we concealed and the worship we withheld were laid upon Him. All of it was ours. The sentence fell upon Christ.
At Calvary, God did more than show us love. He satisfied His justice. Jesus bore the wrath our rebellion deserved and offered His righteous life for guilty people who possessed none of their own. His blood purchased forgiveness. Through His death, the way home opened.
A criminal hung beside Him with minutes left to live. The thief could repair nothing. His hands were fastened open. That stained record could never be rewritten. He could climb down from the cross neither to repay his victims nor to prove that his repentance was sincere. All he carried into those final breaths was guilt.
He turned his dying face toward Jesus and asked to be remembered. Christ gave him far more, “Today you shall be with Me in Paradise” (Luke 23:43).
Grace reached a man at the edge of eternity. Paradise opened to empty hands because the Savior beside him was paying the cost. The thief brought his sin. Jesus supplied everything else. Then Christ died. His body was wrapped in linen and carried into a borrowed grave. A stone closed the entrance. Saturday passed beneath a terrible silence. His disciples hid behind locked doors while grieving women prepared spices for a corpse. Early Sunday morning, they walked toward the tomb expecting death to remain where they had left it. The stone had moved.
Mary later heard her name spoken by the voice she thought had been silenced forever. Hands pierced by nails were warm with life. From the mouth that cried, “It is finished,” came words of peace for frightened disciples. Jesus rose bodily from the grave. He did not survive as an idea, a memory, or a cause. The crucified Christ stood alive.
History’s great shock came from an empty tomb. Death entered certain of another victory and came out carrying its own defeat. Christ lives and everyone joined to Him through faith will live with Him. This is the gospel. You have sinned against the God who made you. Judgment waits beyond your final breath. Jesus lived the righteous life you have failed to live, carried the guilt you could never remove, died beneath the sentence you deserved and rose in triumph from the grave.
Turn from sin and lay down the right to rule your own life. Rest the full weight of your soul upon Christ, His blood, His righteousness, and His resurrection. He receives ruined people. A filthy past cannot exhaust His mercy. An accusing conscience cannot overpower His promise. The Savior who welcomed a dying thief still welcomes sinners who come with empty hands.
Perhaps years remain before your appointment. Your name may be spoken in the past tense before another sunset. Come today. Then think of the people whose names live in your phone. Picture the chair they occupy at your table. Hear the voice you would give anything to hear again if death entered tonight.
Love them enough to speak. Speak of the cross. Point them to the empty grave. Tell them Christ saves.
Someone you love is a wisp of smoke passing through a keyhole.
Speak before the room is empty.
Ro Khanna’s driver intentionally triggered a Security First Response Team.
Israeli Gedaliah Blum explains the tricks that Ro Khanna used to stage a performance.
Ro Khanna was traveling in Judea and Samaria, which are also known as the West Bank. The Jewish communities in Judea and Samaria have experienced many terrorist attacks. So, there are First Response Teams of community guards who monitor for suspicious activity. These teams are governed by laws and work with safety measures, and they coordinate with the Israeli army.
Shabbat is Saturday. On Shabbat, people living in Jewish communities do not drive. On Shabbat, Ro Khanna’s team drove off the road, which was already very suspicious. The strange activity of Ro Khanna’s vehicle triggered the First Response Team. So, the team checked the vehicles.
Ro Khanna did not tell anyone he was going to be in the area. He was not traveling in a way that identified him as a congressman, he was not in a government marked vehicle. The First Responder Team checked for his identity. Specifically, because Ro Khanna did not tell anyone he would be in the area, it took about ninety minutes to confirm his identity with the Israeli army.
After he was safely identified, he was allowed to continue on his way. Afterwards, Ro Khanna described this security check as being held hostage by wild settlers, which is total nonsense.
Ro Khanna is a liar.

Will NYC be the next Fort Sumter?
It was so obvious that Mamdani sabotaged the Navy’s biggest parade in 50 years that I filmed a video that day walk from the parade to the mayor’s office to yell, “Screw communism.”
And I almost got run over by an angry NY driver.
I also called for the firing of Rear Admiral John Arthur Robinson, the Navy’s Chief of Information.
I’m not ready to apologize. The Navy’s admirals had ample federal authority to tell Mamdani to get bent. Any authority they lacked, the Coast Guard Captain of the Port unquestionably had. They also failed to recognize that NYC DOT is staffed by U.S. Merchant Mariners, many of whom were even angrier than I was.
The Navy also failed to fully coordinate with the Commandants of the US Coast Guard and US Merchant Marine.
This continues to be my biggest issue with the admiralty. At the highest levels, the US Navy is a very insular organization that always finds Navy solutions to Navy problems, even when other organizations have more resources to help out.
Insularity also creates massive blind spots and leaves massive gaps in shared resources like shipbuilding.
Robinson was only one broken link in last week’s incident chain. I do apologize for putting the spotlight on him, but I will not recall my ask for @SECNAV to fire him.
The
The Navy’s public outreach was disappointing, which made every other aspect of the failure worse. Its engagement with independent media was poor, its social media presence was weak, and its official website was embarrassing. That leadership deserves accountability.
That said, a much bigger story is emerging.
It has become clear that Mamdani spent months working to undermine this event through a coordinated, distributed campaign that disrupted preparations on multiple fronts.
Someone in the Navy with stars on their shoulders, including @USNavyCNO, should have recognized what was happening that morning or the day before and ordered the fleet underway.
(I haven’t spoken directly with Hung Cao since the parade, but he did personally get one ship underway, so he earns a well-deserved Bravo Zulu.)
But blaming this historic failure on any single admiral isn’t factually accurate. The Navy was undermined across multiple fronts by an opponent who understood exactly which buttons to push.
And information has surfaced that the admirals did push back considerably on the worst of Mamdani’s requests. Unfortunately, they chose to withdraw for various activities instead of embracing Admiral David Farragut’s famous order, "Damn the torpedoes! Four bells... Jouett, full speed!"
Mamdani succeeded in boiling the frog, and the US Navy should have used the full weight of federal authority to push back. Instead, they dropped anchor far from Manhattan in protest, which is probably what Mamdani wanted.
It seems like a good time to remind you that if you're a young person who turned against Israel in the last five years, you were the successful target of a coordinated influence operation meant to turn you into a useful idiot for Islamo-Leftist causes.
Just something to think about the next time you bash Israel.
January 2022 - When Turkish President Erdoğan needed medical expertise, he turned to an Israeli physician - one of the world’s leading cardiologists.
June 2026 - After the devastating earthquake in Venezuela, Israel sent search-and-rescue personnel and humanitarian assistance to a country whose regime has long supported Iran, hosted Hezbollah operatives, and consistently voted against Israel in international forums.
July 2026 - When President Trump departed Ankara amid concerns of a possible Iranian assassination plot, it was Israeli intelligence that reportedly provided the warning.
One nation received life-saving medical expertise from Israel.
Another received Israeli rescuers searching through the rubble to save lives.
Yet another received life-saving intelligence from Israel.
The irony is hard to miss.
The very nation so often condemned, demonized, and portrayed as a burden to humanity continues to save lives - even those of leaders and nations that have opposed her.
Israel doesn’t choose whom to help based on ideology, political alliances, or how they vote at the United Nations. When lives are at stake, Israel acts.
Just something to think about the next time you bash us.
@beholdisrael Brother, you're being faithful to what God has for you. Press on!
