@ForgiatoBlow47 Excellent!

@lamps_apple Yes ma’am! Well said

“You see, down South, we don’t deal with all that tomfoolery that y’all are dealing with over there in New York City, California, Maine, Minnesota, or any of those woke states. We don’t deal with that.

You see, around these parts, yeah, around these parts, we believe in God, guns, and butter, and in that order.

God, and His name is Jesus Christ. Let’s not be confused.

Pretty much all of us concealed carry. There will be no “entering into every household in America.” That part. Catch it.

And we love to eat, so we put butter on everything. And I mean everything. That part.

And I did not mention it, but let me be very, very clear: God, guns, butter, but also, we are very, very commonsense and patriotic.

See, unlike Supreme Court Justice Ketanji Brown Jackson, we know what a woman is. That part.

And there will be American flags flying in everybody’s yard, okay? So, if you have a problem with that, you may not want to move down South.

Yes, the homes are cheaper, but they look just as good as those high-priced homes y’all are paying for up North and on the East and West Coasts. That part.

We’re comfortable classifying all the white boys in the Cajun Navy as our friends. That part.

You see, when the tornadoes and hurricanes happen, they come on through, and they don’t care what color the hand is that they’re helping. That part.

Our men are not emasculated. At least around these parts, they ain’t.

And chivalry sure enough ain’t dead.

And last but not least, we believe in keeping our babies around here, okay?

So, I lied to your oddball over there: You will not be entering into every household in America. And all that yelling and screaming in pro-lifers’ faces around these parts doesn’t work.

You feel me? Because we hit back. That part.

God bless. Welcome to the South.”

Apart from the question of whether @RoKhanna is lying (he is), his performative visit to Judea and Samaria broke the rules and undermined our Constitution.

I was US Ambassador to Israel for 4 years. During that time, the US Embassy facilitated the visits of hundreds of members of Congress. IN EVERY SINGLE CASE, the visit, including the itinerary, was coordinated with the Embassy, and usually with the State Department in DC as well.

This is not just a security driven protocol, although that is an important factor. It also is a reflection of the Constitutional mandate that the foreign policy of the United States is directed by the President through the Department of State.

When a US representative visits a foreign country, the Constitution says that the Executive Branch has the paramount interest in how that visit is achieved. That doesn’t mean that the representative can’t do his own fact finding or draw his own conclusions. But when the representative goes off undermining US foreign policy on foreign soil, that’s foul play.

@RoKhanna went rogue. He couldn’t have cared less about how his theatrics reflected upon our nation. He wanted his sound bites and his video clip, no matter how misleading, and he wasn’t going to let our Constitution get in the way.

Listen to North Korean defector Yeonmi Park explain how her grandparents were promised much of what Mamdani and the Democratic Socialists of America are promising today:
- Free healthcare
- Free housing
- Free education
- A government that will take care of everyone

In return, they surrendered their freedom.

Tyranny rarely arrives looking cruel. It arrives smiling, speaking softly and promising compassion.

Liberals, I beg of you, don’t listen to conservatives if you don’t want to.

Listen to the North Korean defector.

It will not be different this time.

This is how it begins.

I've traveled to the Hills of Judea and Samaria on many occasions. You see signs like this everywhere. As a Jew, my life would be in danger if I tried to enter Area A unauthorized. Ro's life was not threatened, but his guides knew the rules and broke them to create a controversy

[Joe Abraham @angeldadjoe]

.@GeraldoRivera, why does your compassion seem so one-sided?

My daughter Katie is in a grave at 20 years old. She was an innocent victim.

Why didn't her life, and the lives of countless other innocent victims, deserve the same attention, the same calls for policy change, and the same outrage?

Compassion shouldn't depend on blind ideology or political party. If it does, it isn't compassion at all.

Any words for Katie?
Any consideration for the countless grieving families?

[Brett Chandler @BChandler64]

Amen!

[Shahriq Khan @RealShahriqKhan]

You know what wrecked me when I was converting to Christianity?

Jihad is literally the gospel in reverse. Once I saw it, I couldn't unsee it.

The gospel says Christ shed His blood for YOU.
Jihad says you shed your blood for ALLAH.
Jesus lays down His life to save His enemies. Jihad calls you to take the lives of enemies in pursuit of God's favor.

Christianity says the Shepherd dies so the sheep can live. Jihad says the sheep die hoping the Shepherd accepts them.

They are mirrors. One is grace, the other is striving.

One says, "It is finished." The other says, "Do more."

Jesus never asked me to earn God's love with my blood, he proved God's love by shedding His own.

That's why the cross changed everything for me. Jesus didn't come to tell us how to die for God.

He came to die for us so we could truly live. PRAISE GOD! I AM FREE! Now, we need to make all the Muslims Christian.

This May Be One of the Most Important Moments Ever Broadcast on CNBC 🧵

Every once in a while, someone who spent years buying into the media’s narrative about President Trump publicly admits they got it wrong.

That’s exactly what happened on CNBC this morning.

Billionaire investor Chamath Palihapitiya conceded that he was one of the many influential voices who bought into the media’s narrative about Donald Trump.

Now, after revisiting the original source material and getting to know Trump personally, he’s publicly admitting he was wrong.

But there was more to it than just an admission of error.

Across one conversation, Palihapitiya not only praised Trump’s presidency, but made the case that millions of Americans were fundamentally misled about the man himself.

Palihapitiya said his personal turning point was simply going back and watching the original footage that the media had spent years talking about.

According to him, that’s when everything unraveled.

The fact that Ro Khanna did not coordinate with the U.S. Embassy really gives the whole game away.

He attempted a publicity stunt, got brutally exposed, and is now suffering the reputational consequences.

@mattvanswol Great idea!

[Ambassador Mike Huckabee @GovMikeHuckabee]

We have had respectful relationship & hopefully will continue but call to US Embassy was AFTER your vehicle was stopped. We had no advance notice of your trip. I go often into Judea/Samaria & visit Palestinians. I publicly condemn ALL violence whether Israeli to Palestinian or Palestinian to Israeli. You would have been well served to have spent time with Israelis who were held hostage or victims of terror to understand big picture but you only chose to come in secretly with an anti-Israel activist to hear one version of reality. Please come back. Let me know when. I will go with you & we will meet with ppl in the PA & in Israel with Jewish, Christian, & Muslims We will visit Hadassah Medical Center which will destroy any notion of “apartheid “ & will arrange a classified briefing to dispel any doubt about the ridiculous claim that Israel engaged in “genocide.” Let’s elevate the discussion. I’ll leave the light on for you!

I am not aligned with any particular political party. But I am aligned with being an American and defending the kind of government we have here that has made this country possible.
The DSA platform is treason.

[Matt Van Swol @mattvanswol]

🚨WOW!!!

My senator from North Carolina, Thom Tillis just got asked if he doesn't support the SAVE ACT because he received a MIND-BOGGLING $700,000 from the "illegal labor lobby"

He got pissed off and then ran away.

I can't believe what I'm watching!

[BelannF @BelannF]

IF YOU HAVEN'T HEARD WHAT ACTRESS AND FILMAKER JUSTINE BATEMAN SAID ABOUT REP. RASHIDA TLAIB - YOU SHOULD.

Here’s the full text of Justine Bateman’s Twitter/X response:

"These people are ridiculous.

They have lost all tethers to a sense of self. Their entire identity now relies on this treasonous hate of America. They make up fantasies of how horrible America never was to justify their need to “fight tyranny.” They have no identity but this. And they cling to it with a death grip, because they have nothing else.

None of it is true. Not the fantasy about America about which she is shrieking, not her identity of believing herself to be some “hero” in a movie about an oppressive government, and not the resulting congress-free, senate-free, President-free, childish (and completely chaotic) future she sees for this country.

She is an infant.

She and others like her will not get their way. Not even close. If you have a modicum of common sense, it’s time to let your line in the sand about tolerance be made known.

Myself, I have a limit to tolerance.

I have a limit to patience.

I know there is a limit to free speech.

If your plan is to tear down the United States of America, if your plan is treason, I will not tolerate you, I will have zero patience for you, and I will not defend your right to free speech."
