There was once a scribe who lived safely behind the walls of a kingdom, writing rules for men who fought beyond them.

He had never faced an enemy, but considered himself wiser than every soldier who had.

One day, a captain grew tired of watching his men die while awaiting permission to fight. He tore down the scribe’s decrees.

The scribe flew into a rage and demanded the captain be punished.

“You are a dangerous man!” he cried. “Who will protect us from your sword?”

An old soldier approached him.

“Tell me, scribe. If the enemy breaches these walls, will you stand before them?”

“Certainly not!” the scribe replied. “That is the soldiers’ duty.”

“Then why do you despise them?”

“Because they refuse to obey me!”

The soldier nodded.

And there, finally, was the truth.

The scribe had mistaken his power to obstruct brave men for proof that he was greater than them.

For there are men who would rather see the walls fall than endure the humiliation of knowing they were built and defended by better men.

Lots of spiritual meaning to be derived from this past week being lost in a sea of noise and despair.

If your hope was in desired election outcomes being fulfilled to bring contentment, it was always misplaced. Only lasting heart change in the people will bring about the country we long to see politically and spare us of the biannual “knife’s edge” we continuously experience - enough to shape all factions of this country into people who seek the best for the USA.

This is not a call to disengage from political involvement. In fact, it is needed now more than ever. But it is a recognition that we’ve taken solace that there will always be places to retreat to when things get bad, and put our hopes in fallible humans to give us what we think we need and want.

There is now nowhere left to run but to trust in God to expose the darkness within, and direct the efforts of the people who care toward lasting change man cannot bring. Hope is never lost unless you allow it to be.

Politician: I hate your culture, your civilization, your religion, your society, your people. I hate your music. I hate your dogs. I hate your literature. I hate your personal freedoms and liberties. I hate everything about you. Everything.

Electorate: Sure but do you hate Trump?

Politician: Yes.

Electorate: Well then, I see no reason not to vote for you. You've earned my vote.

In 2012, the voters of the State of California approved capital punishment. And again in 2016, the voters of the State of California approved capital punishment.

In California, to even be eligible for capital punishment the defendant must be found guilty of First Degree Murder and the jury must also unanimously find True that the murderer committed a special circumstance (like Intentional Murder by Torture, Multiple Murders, a Hate Crime Murder, Sexual Assault or Rape and a Murder, etc). Then, in a second trial, all 12 jurors must unanimously vote that the death penalty is the appropriate punishment (they have a choice between LWOP or Death). All prosecutors also involve the surviving family members in this entire transparent process.

Furthermore, these aren’t cases where guilt is an issue. I personally would never seek capital punishment unless I had Beyond ALL Doubt evidence. The issue then becomes, not if the defendant did it, he/she did, it’s what should the punishment be for the crime. The worst of the worst crimes against humanity deserve the worst of the worst punishment.

And lastly, a judge must, considering all the evidence and motions, impose the sentence.

Newsom ignored the People of the State of CA, the voters, the surviving family members, the jurors, the judge, the victim, the evidence, the prosecutor and our CA laws, and without collaboration with anyone, unilaterally decided on his own to commute DP sentences. That isn’t the American way.

You can be pro-DP, you can be anti-DP, or you can be like me and believe in the rule of law, the process, transparency and ultimate accountability and justice.

Making these decisions for political reasons, which is why I believe the Governor made this decision, is never something that should play a part when dealing with justice.

I will always stand with my community, with our victims and with their family members. No one person should be the sole decider of these issues. It should involve all of us.

[jonathanhatami @jonathanhatami]

Newsom wrote in his letter for commuting all capital punishment sentences that he hopes the murderers will “die in obscurity while we forever remember and honor their victims.”

This just isn’t close to the truth. First, honor what victims? Did you even name one victim in your letter? How is this honoring little Gabriel. How is this honoring Gabriel’s father, brother, sister, uncle and cousins who are all against your decision? Did you even talk with one family member?

Second, how can you guarantee the murderers will die in obscurity? The parole board just issued a new procedure for commutation and resentencing of criminals sentenced to LWOP. Can you guarantee that the Sacramento Legislature won’t pass a law saying LWOP now doesn’t mean LWOP?

Third, why is commuting the sentences of child murderers and mass murderers a priority for you?

Maybe the media should ask you these questions.

Gabriel mattered!

All the people obsessing over this...this may make them 🤯. National Monuments enjoy certain protections, including:
"Protection Against Vandalism & Looting: Federal laws (including the Antiquities Act and Archaeological Resources Protection Act) make it illegal to excavate, damage, or remove historical, archaeological, or paleontological resources from these sites."
The gold, and everything else, stays. 😉

[Ben & Candy Carson @RealBenCarson]

Election days come and go. But one thing remains the same: God is in control. No matter how you feel about the election results, we must remember that our fellow Americans are not our enemies. We share a common home and the future of our country depends on us. As the great President Abraham Lincoln once said, "We are not enemies, but friends. We must not be enemies. Though passion may have strained, it must not break our bonds of affection."

Now is not the time for division or despair. Let’s move forward with unity and a posture of hope. This is America. And our best days are still ahead of us. 🇺🇸

[Larry Elder @larryelder]

CALMATE, REPUBLICANS!!!

Trump remains president for the next two years. Deal with it, Democrats. 

A Democrat House has no powers to prosecute. The DOJ will not indict. Impeachment will not lead to a Trump conviction and expulsion from office.

Stupid tax, spend and legislation will be vetoed—and won’t be overridden. 

After there is some sort of resolution of the Iran War, gas prices will drop like a stone. 

And by the way, the threat of a nuclear armed Iran will be substantially diminished, if not eliminated. Thank you, President Trump. 

It’ll be fun watching Speaker Hakeem Jeffries try to control the crazy DSA/socialist/antisemitic caucus— and enact legislation to improve “affordability” as “affordability” is being improved despite the lack of legislation.

The economy is already growing—and will soon kick into an even higher gear. 

For the next two years, the economy will continue to fire on all cylinders, while inflation and gas prices fall the moment the Iran War ends.

What will the Democrats’ argument be then? Raise taxes on “the rich”? “Medicare-for-All”? “Trump is a Nazi”? 

Given that Democrats opposed no tax on tips, opposed no tax on overtime, opposed no tax on Social Security and refused to expand school choice, etc., Democrats cannot possibly take credit for the Trump/Republican economy.

They cannot possibly, with a straight face, take credit for the huge, and by recent standards, upcoming unprecedented growth in the economy. 

The Republican 2028 presidential nominee—whether Vance or Rubio—will have a hell of a strong argument about the economy and “affordability.“

See you in 2028!

[Clandestine @WarClandestine]

Now that the dust has settled, what actually changes for us?

We currently have a Congress that won’t pass election security or codify Trump’s EOs. In January, we will also have a Congress that won’t pass election security or codify Trump’s EOs.

The reality of the situation remains the same. The Dems are compromised by our foreign adversaries, and are waging war on us from within. The only way corruption of this magnitude gets solved, is through the Military and the Executive. That has always been the case, regardless of who controls Congress.

So yes, the Dems will be emboldened and be more annoying than usual, but operationally, nothing changes. We still have to finish Iran, end Ukraine/Russia, terminate the cartels, and complete the world’s most powerful reset. All of which was being done by the Military and the Executive, with exactly zero help from Congress.

This nation was never going to be saved by Congress. It has always been up to Trump and the Military to do what’s necessary, and shut down the treasonous coup.

California, you already pay the highest taxes in the country. Don't let this clown trick you into paying MORE!

This Halloween, VOTE to stop Becerra's Mileage Tax. Just Try It!

[Seth Keshel @RealSKeshel]

I’d say one of the greatest perspectives my military service has provided me with is that I truly don’t give a damn about the personal lives of politicians. Their divorces and other life drama events don’t matter to me.

Soldiers come in all shapes and sizes and from every walk of life. When the rubber meets the road you simply need a person who can function of limited rest and resources. This is true no matter the functional area - intelligence, personnel, logistics.

These things only intensify for combat arms. They need not only someone who can do the above, but that can hit what he is shooting at, communicate effectively, exercise tactical patience and trigger discipline, and drag a 200 pound person wearing 70 pounds of armor and weapons/ammo out of the line of fire.

There is simply no space in these environments to single people out over their personal lives - and trust me, soldiers have the most colorful personal lives went complicated situations you’ll find anywhere.

Why we demand the people we vote for possess anything other than the capacity to vote for the positions that matter most is beyond my ability to comprehend.

[Deon Joseph @ofcrdeonjoseph]

Dear Republican and Independent voter. I am a former democrat voter telling you not to sit this one out. It’s is not about left or right anymore. It’s about stopping the crazy from the other side. They have nothing to offer but the same weird 💩they brought before and now they have embraced socialism on top of it. All they will bring is corruption, lawlessness, taxes, censorship, witch hunts and fraud they want to keep alive. As an independent, I don’t see the Republicans as the panacea for all of our issues, what they do offer is a thin line of sanity we must hold. Don’t sit it out.

[Andrew Kolvet @AndrewKolvet]

This Sunday, every Pastor should preach this same message from the pulpit in every state in the country.

Remember how they shut down your churches during COVID.

Remember how they persecuted your saints praying outside of abortion clinics.

Remember how they seprate parents from children and mutilate and indoctrinate them.

Enough.

95% of Muslims will vote.
50% of Christians will not.

My word of encouragement to all you doomers out there:

And I am convinced that nothing can ever separate us from God’s love. Neither death nor life, neither angels nor demons, neither our fears for today nor our worries about tomorrow—not even the powers of hell can separate us from God’s love.
No power in the sky above or in the earth below—indeed, nothing in all creation will ever be able to separate us from the love of God that is revealed in Christ Jesus our Lord.

Rom. 8:38-39

[Spencer Pratt @spencerpratt]

When they created the 1st amendment, they had zero mosques. Should they arrest muslims?

They also didn't have X. Should they arrest us for tweets?

The Bill of Rights doesn't "promise rights", you moron...our rights are God-given. All the Bill of Rights does is explicitly BLOCKS government from infringing on them. It reinforces the foundational premise of our entire country: government didn't give us our rights, so they cannot take them away. Americans understand this.

[Jenny Beth Martin @jennybethm]

Mr. Obama, your own administration selectively targeted people for their political beliefs.

Your IRS flagged Tea Party, Patriot, and 9/12 groups by name for years. Your IRS asked for prayer contents, membership lists, donor lists, backend access to websites, and more. Congressional testimony revealed Tea Party donors were 6 times more likely than the average taxpayer to be individually audited. Your actions chilled Tea Party groups, and many groups shut down rather than paying thousands to attorneys and accountants to answer the invasive, unconstitutional questions from your administration.

At the same time, your FBI’s Domestic Terrorism Unit repeatedly contacted True the Vote, an organization that grew directly out of the Tea Party, and its founder Catherine Engelbrecht, seeking membership lists and information about attendees. Your office audited her business and personal taxes and subjected her to ATF and OSHA inspections, all beginning after she applied for nonprofit status.

We know what selective targeting looks like because we lived it under your watch. Spare us the lecture.

🚨BREAKING: Los Angeles County redirected $5 million from a wildfire housing fund to rent checks for households “impacted” by ICE — and they don’t check immigration status.

The program can pay up to $15,000 per rental unit.

County paperwork created “Category 3”: tenants facing hardship from “federal actions targeting immigrant communities.” Supervisors then moved wildfire and Affordable Housing Trust money into that bucket.

The original pot was sold as help for Eaton and Palisades fire tenants and landlords. Half of a $10 million fire housing allocation went the other way. More trust-fund dollars followed unless fire victims still had unpaid needs.

Meanwhile, thousands of fire families are still waiting to go home.
