Upset with the SCOTUS decision today?
Call your senator at (202) 224-3121 and tell them to support my Constitutional Amendment to end Birthright Citizenship. We must protect the integrity of American citizenship.
Alan Jackson played his last show last night.
He is one of the good ones.
A patriot and Christ centered.
He has a neurological disease which impedes his balance and ability to play the guitar.
He is my favorite country singer of all time.
He told stories. He made you not just hear, but FEEL what it is to be a “good ole boy”. He was also never afraid to be bold in his faith.
But I have a more personal story about Alan Jackson I’d like to share and it is the reason I have always been a fan of him and his music.
Back in 1992, I was going on my first real trip with my mom up to New York to see her sister and my cousins.
It was the first time I had ever flown.
Our flight left later in the evening, not quite a red-eye, but close. I think it was somewheres around 10 or 11pm.
At the time, Charlotte Douglas Airport was way smaller and far less busy than it is now.
So me and mom board the plane, and I take the window seat (as kids usually do).
Me and mom are chit chatting, and she was doing her best to calm me. See, me and flying don’t really get along. Neither do me and heights - never have, prolly never will. To say I was a bit wound up about the flight would be an understatement.
The plane is continuing to board, and there weren’t many folks on the plane. As memory best serves, it was maybe 1/3 full, if that.
Everyone is seated, doors are shut, plane is ready to push. Then the pilot comes over the speaker to tell us there would be a slight delay as some folks were making their way to the plane.
Door opens up, and 5-6 dudes get on the plane. All wearing stetsons and boots. The 3rd dude on to the plane stood out a little more because he had frills hanging off his coat and he was wearing a white stetson. He was noticeably taller than the rest as well.
The first two dudes keep coming down the aisle and end up sitting right behind us.
The third dude stops at our row, looks at my mom and me, tips his hat and says “Evenin, folks. How y’all doin?”, then takes the aisle seat right next to my mom.
My mom, who rarely ever swore, then says “Holy shit. You’re Alan Jackson”.
He says “Yes’m I am, and you are?”. So mom introduced us.
But here’s what really sticks with me: Mom had told him I was a bit scared for my first flight. Wanna guess what Alan Jackson did? He asked if it was okay to pray with us. So he did.
After which, we spent the entire flight chatting with Alan Jackson. He and his band even belted out a couple songs along the way.
It is legit one of those memories I will never forget.
I never got to see him to live. But I’d say this experience trumps any concert of his I could have went to.
I think something like that speaks more to the man he is than his music. Here he is, just met this kid and his mom 5 minutes prior, and he is offering a prayer to calm my fears for my first flight.
So, in closing - I pray Alan can find true peace in his retirement, and I pray that the Father will provide him with healing and assuage his suffering with the disease he has.
Thank you for the prayer, @OfficialJackson. Thank you for all the wonderful music, and thank you for never being afraid to profess your love for our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ.
Thune is again using pro-forma sessions to make pretend the Senate is still in session, to block Trumps recess appts
Join me in calling on Trump to use the power vested in him, under (Art- II- Sec,3) to call the Senate back into session... until they Pass the Save America Act
🚨Resolution to Censure Senate Majority Leader Thune🚨
👉While it was approved by the Resolutions Committee, it still needs to be voted on by the South Dakota Republican Party👈
“WHEREAS an overwhelming majority of citizens from not just South Dakota, but the entire United States of America, support the passage of the SAVE America Act;
WHEREAS US Senate Majority Leader John Thune continues his refusal to act in accordance with the will of American Citizens through his failure to lead
the passage of the SAVE America Act;
WHEREAS US Senate Majority Leader John Thune has wantonly and repeatedly acted as a roadblock to President Donald Trump and the American First
Agenda, squandering the opportunity presented by Republican control of the US House, US Senate, and the Presidency, where failure to pass the SAVE
America Act is the most glaring and inexcusable example;
THEREFORE, let it be resolved that the South Dakota Republican Party officially Censures South Dakota Senator and US Senate Majority Leader John
Randolph Thune until such time as the SAVE America Act is passed by the US Senate and officially signed into law by President Donald J. Trump.”
SELENE'S GUIDE TO RANCH DRESSING FOR WORLD CUP VISITORS
So you have discovered ranch. The whole world is smuggling it past the TSA, and I am genuinely delighted for all of you. But before you check a bottle in your luggage, let me save you from yourself.
Rule one. The restaurant ranch is the good ranch.
The stuff you are falling in love with at American restaurants is mostly made fresh, in house, that morning. That is why it tastes alive. If the ranch is thick and gloppy, run. Thick ranch means they bought it in a bucket, and you deserve better.
Rule two. Do not buy the little bottles to take home.
That is the tourist trap. The bottled stuff is not what won your heart at the restaurant.
Rule three. If you must take it home, buy the big seasoning containers, not the liquid.
The large tubs of dry ranch seasoning at Walmart, your grocery store, or Sam's and Costco are the real treasure. The powder travels beautifully and laughs at the 3.4 ounce liquid rule. Skip the bottled dressing entirely. The seasoning is what you want.
And yes, about all that confiscated liquid ranch. The TSA has been enjoying the leftovers. Word is they have been eating wings nonstop since this whole thing started. Somewhere in a back room at every major airport is an agent on his fourth plate, living his best life. You are welcome, fellas.
Rule four. The real move is making it yourself.
If you have fresh herbs, or you run out of the American powder back home, here is the recipe that rivals any restaurant in the country.
RESTAURANT RANCH
Half cup mayonnaise
Half cup sour cream
1 tsp dried dill, or 3 tsp fresh
Half tsp dried parsley, or 1.5 tsp fresh
Half tsp dried chives, or 1.5 tsp fresh
Half tsp garlic powder, or 1 grated clove
Half tsp Worcestershire sauce
Quarter tsp onion powder
Half tsp salt
Quarter tsp black pepper
1 to 3 tsp white wine vinegar or fresh lemon juice, to taste
Half to three quarter cup buttermilk, added slowly to your desired thinness
Whisk it all together. Add the buttermilk last and slowly, tasting as you go. Refrigerate at least two hours so the flavors marry. Thin with more buttermilk if it thickens.
And finally, what ranch is actually for.
Ranch hides the flavor of every vegetable you secretly hate.
Ranch rescues bad pizza.
Ranch turns a sad plate of corn or tortilla chips into something you will think about later. Just stir in a little extra sour cream for dipping.
Ranch does not make food better. Ranch makes food possible.
Welcome to America.
Now go put it on something. 🦋

There's a 911 in Upstate New York!! Ain't that right @GovKathyHochul ?? Kathy, why do you hate Upstate farmers so much? Let's see what America has to say about this, shall we? If you stand with American Farmers, hit REPOST. Volume UP!👇
Our Senate shouldn’t be going on vacation,
especially if it isn’t passing legislation.
Can any of you remember the last time you went on a paid vacation for over a month?
On his way out, Biden pardoned two people. His son Hunter. And Dr. Tony Fauci. Both pardons start the clock on the exact same month: January 2014.
That's not a coincidence. That's a confession.
@BarbaraMBoyd connects the dots 👇
Here's what amazes me about the critics of Trump's peace plan.
They act as if sinking Iran's navy, destroying their airforce and air defenses, wiping out 85% of their missiles and causing $1 trillion in damages to their military industrial complex is MEANINGLESS!
Oh yes, and we basically destroyed their nuke program and got a promise they would not develop nukes.
Those are all HUGE! How is this a loss?
For God's sake, we have removed Iran as a threat to the Middle East!
Sorry, I think this is a great plan. I'm 100% for it.
This will be HUGE for the global economy.
🚨This video of Japanese World Cup fans cleaning up American stadiums after their match is blowing up for all the right reasons and it shows exactly why so many of us have massive respect for that country. While some groups turn events into total disasters with trash everywhere and destruction left behind, these fans are out there sweeping and bagging everything because in Japan they're taught from school to clean up after themselves and leave places better than they found them. It's pure class and discipline on full display—thug cultures destroy and ravage while real civilized people build and respect what belongs to others. Patriots, isn't this the kind of attitude we wish every visitor and citizen would show in America? Drop your thoughts below and share this far and wide so more people see what real respect looks like.
