Congratulations to Willis Jepson of Robertson County for being named the 2026 Tennessee Farmer of the Year! This well-deserved honor recognizes his family’s outstanding contributions to Tennessee and their impact on communities across Middle Tennessee and beyond.
Deporting illegal aliens shouldn't even be a debate. Of course they all get deported.
The debate should be about which naturalized citizens were a mistake, then how many need to be denaturalized and deported.
I don't care how big of a Trump fan you are.
He sold himself as a strong leader.
Begging Iran for a deal (surrendering, in reality) and telling Israel to just sit back and absorb attacks, and scolding them for defending themselves is pathetic by any definition.
John Thune says there is no hope for the SAVE America Act,
"We don't have the votes... The SAVE America didn't even get 50 votes on the floor. But even just on photo voter ID and citizenship, it takes 60 votes..."
What would America look like if 55 million Visas were cancelled and all the illegals were deported?
Let's deep dive it.
If 55 million visas were cancelled overnight and all the illegals were deported, America would change in ways few could imagine.
At first it would look chaotic. Hospitals short on nurses. Tech firms unable to staff support teams. Crops left to rot because migrant labor vanished. For a few months, the headlines would scream collapse. But then something else would happen.
Wages would climb. Automation would soar. The price of an hour of work would be valuable. Trades and apprenticeships would surge. Competence and ownership would return to our society. Hospitals could bill people instead of government. Colleges that depended on foreign tuition would close, but community colleges would thrive again as Americans re-trained. Housing prices in major cities would fall for the first time in decades. Renters would finally have leverage. Families that were priced out could buy homes again.
The GDP might dip at first, but the money would start circulating locally. People who thought they’d never matter in the economy would suddenly be needed again. The country would remember how to build, grow, fix, and teach without importing labor. It wouldn’t be easy, but it would be ours.

@VoteMarsha Around February 9th 2026, you gaveled in a proforma session in the Senate to keep President Trump from making recess appointments. Care to explain why?
Like she said. This is what the founders intended. Why do we keep letting people stay in elected positions for 30 and 40 years? It's not healthy for our republic.
Headed back to the private sector at the end of this term, as the Founders intended.
When I ran in 2020 I said I'd only serve 3 terms and my time is up. It's truly been an immense honor and I wouldn't trade it for anything else.
FISA Spy Program Faces Lapse Amid World Cup, Iran War and America 250
A House vote today could determine whether the U.S. faces a potential increased risk for terrorism this summer.
The World Cup begins today. The conflict in Iran intensified in recent days. And the country is celebrating its 250th birthday with a host of events.
But the intelligence community worries that those events could be vulnerable to a terrorist attack if a key intelligence program loses Congressional authorization Saturday morning.
The House votes today on a short-term extension of FISA Section 702. Bipartisan lawmakers painstakingly cultivated a compromise to pass the bill this spring after multiple extensions. But President Trump’s interim installation or Bill Pulte as Acting DNI blew up Democratic support for the bill. Republicans can’t extend the program on their own.
Republicans are willing to dare Democrat to oppose the interim bill today. And if there’s a terrorist attack, they will place fault at the feet of Democrats. Especially in this fall’s midterm elections.
@Outandaboutin24@enviseon@KnightsTempOrg You're the problem cuck. Another English man who's worried about how the immigrants are going to live. The only way they're going to live is back in their own damn country. Maybe tell their parents to quit bringing them here so they don't become traumatized.
Something very unusual has happened tonight.
People from both Northern Ireland and the Republic of Ireland appear to have found common cause and united behind the same message this is a seismic turning point and a watershed moment.
