Amen!

[Gunther Eagleman™ @GuntherEagleman]

🇺🇸 Just in case you forgot why you have a three-day weekend…

This is it.

Not the barbecues. Not the beach trips. Not the sales.

This is the reason.

The folded flag. The final salute. The ultimate sacrifice so the rest of us could be free.

This Memorial Day, we honor the fallen.

We remember their names. And we never take this freedom for granted.

“We will make sure that Justice Kelsey does not serve anymore come this January.” - @DelDanHelmer

That is a threat of retaliation against a Supreme Court justice for his ruling on the redistricting amendment.

Justice D. Arthur Kelsey was appointed to the Court of Appeals of Virginia in 2002 by Democratic Governor Mark Warner. He was elected to a full term by the General Assembly in 2003. Re-elected in 2011.

And in 2015, he was elevated to the Supreme Court of Virginia by a unanimous vote of the General Assembly.

The only thing that has changed since 2015 is that Justice Kelsey authored an opinion the Democrats did not like.

Now think about what that means for every other judge in Virginia. The next time a hard case comes across their bench, the judge will have to include whether they’ll be reappointed. Judges have children in college too. They have mortgages, law school debt, and often give up higher earning opportunities to take the bench.

Now, it’s been made clear, they cannot afford to make the “wrong” decision, and now they know exactly what “wrong” means when Democrats are in charge.

This is how you get leverage over a judge. This is how you bend a court and compromise our third branch of government. With a paycheck. With a pension. With their retirement.

This is not how we do things here in Virginia. We follow the rule of law.

When Chuck Schumer threatened Justice Kavanaugh on the Supreme Court steps in 2020, Chief Justice Roberts rebuked him publicly. Bar associations condemned him. Schumer walked it back the next day.

Schumer could not actually remove Kavanaugh, but Delegates will cast a vote on Kelsey’s re-election, if sought, in January. The threat is not rhetorical. It is operational. And has likely already had its impact on Justice Kelsey’s decision to move forward.

Democrats would be screaming if a Republican delegate or said this about a justice that ruled in their favor with a majority opinion. I’m interested to see the reaction if any to this threat of retaliation against Justice Kelsey.

Justice Kelsey decided the case in front of him on the law, in the majority with three other justices. Just as has done for twenty-five years.

The Commonwealth does not threaten its judges. We do not purge our courts. We do not measure justices by whether they vote the way the majority caucus needs for power.

This is brandishing power, and it needs to be called out.

Why did the Governor veto HB 650? Maybe it was because of this exchange @JasonMiyares

[Speaker Mike Johnson @SpeakerJohnson]

I want to direct my friends in the mainstream media to the second paragraph of our nation's birth certificate, the Declaration, which remains the most foundational and consequential sentence in all of American history:

“We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness."

[Virginia House GOP @vahousegop]

Still no budget. The clock is ticking.

🚨 OLYMPIAN RYAN LOCHTE: "We started watching these people getting baptized, and something came into me, something so pure."

"I'm going to start crying. It felt so real watching these people get baptized."

"And I asked [my girlfriend], 'What is this?'"

She said, "They're washing away their sins. They're getting a fresh start publicly."

"And I was like, 'Honey, I want that.'"

"And so, I got baptized. I washed away my sins, and trust me, I had a lot!"

"... To put your life in front of God and give it to God has changed everything for me."

"I'm finding who I am."

"I am being a better father, a better person, and I just love the person that I've become now, and I owe it to God."

Virginia Democrats continue to prioritize partisan politics over the rule of law and the rights of Virginians. They will not succeed. 🇺🇸

Steve Descano, you can shake your head all you want, the facts don’t change. Calling you a serious threat to Virginians doesn’t even begin to cover it.

Elon Musk just defended America better than every politician in Washington combined.

Musk: “After World War 2, the US could have basically taken over the world and any country. Like we got nukes, nobody else got nukes. We don’t even have to lose soldiers. Which country do you want?”

One nation on earth held a weapon nobody else had.

Total dominance. Zero competition. No risk of retaliation.

Every empire in history that held that kind of advantage used it.

Rome. The Mongols. The British. The Ottomans.

They conquered until they collapsed.

America had a bigger advantage than all of them combined.

And it rebuilt the countries it just defeated.

Musk: “The United States actually helped rebuild countries. So it helped rebuild Europe, it helped rebuild Japan. This is very unusual behavior, almost unprecedented.”

Almost unprecedented?

It had never happened before. Not once in 5,000 years of recorded history.

The Marshall Plan wasn’t foreign aid.

It was the most radical act of restraint any superpower ever committed.

America turned its enemies into allies. Turned rubble into economies. Turned surrender into partnership.

Germany went from ashes to the economic engine of Europe in a generation.

Japan went from unconditional surrender to the third largest economy on earth.

Three years after the war, America was flying food into Berlin.

A city in the heart of the nation that just tried to destroy it.

That’s not policy.

That’s a civilization deciding what it is at the exact moment it has the power to be anything.

You’re being told a story right now.

That America is the villain of history.

You hear it everywhere. Media. Universities. Social platforms.

Musk: “There’s always like, well America’s done bad things. Well of course America’s done bad things, but one needs to look at the whole track record.”

Every nation on earth has dark chapters. Every single one.

The difference is what a country does when nobody can stop it.

And when nobody could stop America, it fed its enemies and rebuilt their cities.

Musk: “The history of China suggests that China is not acquisitive. Meaning they’re not going to go out and invade a whole bunch of countries.”

Probably right.

China has historically built walls, not fleets.

But the real question isn’t about borders anymore.

We’re approaching a moment that mirrors 1945 in ways nobody has fully processed yet.

AI is going to give a handful of people a power advantage that makes nuclear monopoly look quaint.

If someone is going to hold that kind of power, who do you want it to be?

The country that conquered when it could? Or the one that rebuilt when it didn’t have to?

Every alliance. Every trade route. Every economy.

Billions lifted out of poverty.

All of it traces back to one act of restraint that had never been done before.

And carries no guarantee of being repeated.

The most powerful thing America ever did wasn’t building the bomb.

It was what it didn’t do after.

[AF Tata @DelegateAFTata]

Well said, Delegate Hamilton!

[Karen Hamilton @KarenHamiltonVA]

Scheming to overthrow courts
FBI Raids
Investigation into alleged corruption, bribery, and potential sexual assault…

Democrats have a lot on their plates.

Hopefully they can squeeze in a bit of time to finalize the budget so counties across the Commonwealth can plan accordingly.

[AF Tata @DelegateAFTata]

@NickJFreitas So funny!!!

[AF Tata @DelegateAFTata]

The Supreme Court of Virginia reaffirmed a fundamental truth: the law applies to everyone—no exceptions, no shortcuts. This is a triumph for fairness, integrity, and the rule of law. God bless the Commonwealth of Virginia! 🙏🏻🇺🇸

[Eric Metaxas @ericmetaxas]

Hey there, folks. About to go for a run here in Connecticut, and I realized today is the National Day of Prayer. I just want to say how glorious it is that we live in a country with a National Day of Prayer. It’s on our coins: “In God We Trust.”

We have to understand that faith in the God of the Bible is central to who we are as a nation. It always has been. I write about that in the book Revolution.

Next weekend, on May 17th, we are publicly rededicating the nation to God. I’ll be there, and I hope you will too.

On this National Day of Prayer, take a moment to thank God that we live in a nation that acknowledges Him in this way.

God bless you, and God bless America.

🚨 URGENT CALL TO 100,000 INTERCESSORS: May 17 – America’s Historic National Day of Repentance & Dedication

America stands at a crossroads. Division, darkness, and deception have gripped our land. Christians are under attack, families are fractured, evil is celebrated, and our constitutional foundations—built for a moral and godly people—are crumbling. We have wandered far from God… and the consequences are undeniable.
But on May 17, a door is opening.
President Trump is leading a bold, historic move: publicly dedicating our nation back to God and praying 2 Chronicles 7:14 over America.

This could be the turning point.

“If My people, who are called by My name, will humble themselves and pray and seek My face and turn from their wicked ways, then I will hear from heaven, and I will forgive their sin and will heal their land.” — 2 Chronicles 7:14

We are believing for a sweeping spiritual awakening like the Jesus People Movement — but it will only come through massive, unified repentance and prayer.
We need 100,000 intercessors on May 17.
• Come to Washington, D.C. if you can.
• Gather in your local churches and homes if you cannot travel.
• Pastors: cancel your normal services and lead your people in prayer.
• Prayer warriors, moms, dads, youth, grandparents — this is not optional. This is urgent.
The National Faith Office at the White House is spearheading this effort, and some of America’s strongest spiritual leaders will be present.

This is our moment to stand in the gap. True freedom cannot survive without God. Our founders knew it. Our history proves it. It’s time to return.

May 17 – National Day of Prayer & Dedication to God.
100,000 voices. One cry. One nation under God again.
Be there. Pray like never before. Fast. Repent. Mobilize everyone you know.
Share this message. Text your church group. Post it everywhere. The atmosphere of heaven is waiting for our response.

Pray 🙏

[Bo Loudon @BoLoudon]

Strengthen him, Lord.

Give him energy and clarity.

Give him your peace and wisdom.

Guard and guide his heart and mind.

Send legions of angels to protect him.

Ease his cares and give him good rest.

Cause his enemies to stumble and panic.

In Jesus name, Amen!
