Our Father, who art in heaven,
hallowed be thy Name,
thy kingdom come,
thy will be done,
on earth as it is in heaven.
Give us this day our daily bread.
And forgive us our trespasses,
as we forgive those
who trespass against us.
And lead us not into temptation,
but deliver us from evil.
-------------------
For thine is the kingdom,
and the power, and the glory,
for ever and ever.
Amen
Christ Is King!

“That was a wake-up call... I need to stand up and speak up.”
Now, his new song “May God Bless America” honors Kirk's legacy and calls a generation back to faith.

🚨 JUST IN: Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis and AG James Uthmeier are threatening up to 30 YEARS IN PRISON for ANY AND ALL LOOTERS who take advantage of Hurricane Isaias
"To the knuckleheads thinking about using this storm's power outages and evacuations to break in, loot, or steal: don't even try it."
"During an emergency, these crimes become first-degree felonies, punishable by up to 30 years in prison." 🔥
I LOVE MY STATE ☀️
Promise made. Promise kept.
By tomorrow, 25 million American children will have our gift of $250 in their accounts.
$6.25 billion. Invested in kids. Compounding for decades.
If you have a child under 18, claim their account and see how much is in there now.
$250 is only the beginning. 🇺🇸
41 months was the sentence. Trump’s pardon brought my wife home. Now our daughter holds her mommy instead of missing her.
Look at this photo. You’ll understand my vote.
November 3. Vote Republican. 🇺🇸
After watching people spend the last few days talking about Pike - her childhood, her age, her trauma, her execution, her suffering - I want to talk about Colleen Slemmer.
Because somehow the person who was murdered keeps becoming a footnote in the story of the person who murdered her.
Colleen was 19 years old.
She wasn't a case number. She wasn't simply "Christa Pike's victim."
She was a daughter. A granddaughter. A young woman who loved roller-skating, miniature golf and computers. She could take a computer apart and put it back together again. She even had a shirt that said "Computer Geek."
Her family later had that shirt made into a teddy bear so they could keep a piece of her close. ❤️
Colleen was also the kind of kid who gave up part of her own lunchtime to help children with disabilities - feeding students who needed assistance and helping kids in wheelchairs. She volunteered at Special Olympics events. One summer, she helped paint her school.
She struggled with reading, but she was smart and fascinated by computers. She wanted training that wasn't available at the Job Corps program near her home in Florida, so at 19 years old she left her family and went to Knoxville to learn computers and build a future for herself.
She never got that future.
On January 12, 1995, Colleen was lured to an isolated area near the University of Tennessee agricultural campus.
What happened next wasn't a momentary loss of control.
Colleen was beaten and tortured during a prolonged attack. She was cut repeatedly. Her throat was slashed. A pentagram was carved into her chest. She was struck with a meat cleaver and ultimately suffered devastating blows to her head with a large piece of asphalt. Afterward, Pike took a piece of Colleen's skull from the scene. These details come from the court record - not internet rumor.
Colleen was 19.
Nineteen.
And while the country is now being asked to think about what Christa Pike experienced during a failed execution, I think there's room to remember what Colleen experienced when nobody came to stop it.
There's also room to remember everything that existed before those final horrifying moments.
The girl who loved computers.
The girl who roller-skated.
The girl who helped children with disabilities eat their lunch.
The girl who volunteered at the Special Olympics.
The daughter whose mother has now spent more than three decades trying to make sure the world remembers her name.
Her mother, May Martinez, said something this week that absolutely broke my heart:
"The criminals get so much attention. Why? She has been lost in this."
She's right.
So today, I'm not posting Christa Pike's face.
I'm posting Colleen's name.
COLLEEN ANNE SLEMMER
September 20, 1975 – January 12, 1995
She was here.
She was loved.
She mattered.
And she deserves to be remembered for the life she lived - not only for the horrific way someone chose to end it.
Remember Colleen. 🤍

I lost 4 years of my life—including 2 years in solitary—over January 6. My case was ultimately dismissed with prejudice.
A pardon gave us freedom. It did not restore our families, careers, homes or reputations.
J6 restitution is not charity. It is justice.
Repost if you agree.
Finally got to meet Mr Kirby today. He says he almost took his own life over the thought of losing his farm, but we managed to save it. Big thanks to @SecRollins who fights like a Titan for our farmers every day, and is a true Patriot🇺🇸 "Love Thy Neighbor As Thyself"

If you had told New Yorkers on 9-11 that 25 years later, this socialist fool would be their mayor? They would have run you outta town…Yet, here we are.
