Funny how same-day election results by 8:53 p.m. are possible when it’s 2021 and the whole state is voting on whether to recall Gavin Newsom.

[Sean Parnell @SeanParnellUSA]

He brought his children to Normandy — at his own expense — to honor the fallen of the Greatest Generation. Americans who gave everything to defeat tyranny & save the world.
Every parent should teach their kids what real sacrifice & courage look like. That’s how we keep freedom alive.
Proud to serve alongside a Secretary of War who leads by example, on & off the battlefield.

Is Texas Children’s Hospital going to kill this child as retribution because they are angry at AG Ken Paxton for successfully blocking them from doing trans surgeries on children?

This tiny little girl has shown some signs of recovery nearly drowning on Memorial Day and multiple doctors agree the hospital needs to give her time for the swelling on her brain stem to go down - but the Hospital is pushing to do a brain function test and wants the family to donate her organs. Debra Sukin is the President & CEO. She will not let this child be transferred to another hospital - she is blocking the parents from fighting for the life of their little girl and violating their religious belief in the sanctity of life. The parents got a temporary restraint order against the hospital to give jen time & a radical Progressive judge blocked it & gave the hospital the right to do the brain function test now before she has had time to heal.

There are TWO other Texas hospitals in the area standing by ready to take this child. How can anyone let Texas Children’s murder this little girl?

Please share, please raise your voices, please do anything you can. #releaseannelise

What do these 6 kids all have in common?
They each completed our 50 Yard Challenge by mowing 50 FREE lawns in their communities for the elderly, disabled, single parents, and veterans.

With every 10 lawns, they earned a new color shirt, and at 50 lawns they received their black shirt (like a black belt in karate) 🥋—along with a brand-new mower, weed eater, and blower!

👉 Will your child be the next to take on the challenge?

Kids can join from any city, any state. Raking leaves and snow shoveling count too.

(These kids are from previous years.)

Can’t think of a single time this happened

[Collin Rugg @CollinRugg]

NEW: Democrat Senator Ron Wyden goes completely silent after Secretary Scott Bessent torched him for his son's relationship with Jeffrey Epstein.

Bessent: "Senator Wyden has mendaciously slandered the Treasury building in an attempt to cover up his son having an investment meeting with Jeffrey Epstein to ask for funding..."

Wyden: "Let's be clear here. Nobody is interested in the ramblings of a capo in the most corrupt regime in American history..."

Bessent: "We would like to hear what Adam Wyden and Jeffrey Epstein talked about. Your son's largest investment position was Rick's Cabaret. Did your son and Jeffrey Epstein talk about pole dancing as he begged him for money, using your limited credibility?"

Brutal.

[Carl DeMaio @carldemaio]

CA Democrats got offended (again) by my Assembly Floor speech - shut off my microphone (again)

Why? Because I called them out on AB 1655 for spreading fear, attacking law enforcement, and creating division for political gain. Watch for yourself:

[Andy Ngo @MrAndyNgo]

Why weren’t there any women or diversity in the audience @AOC spoke to? I don’t see a single woman seated in that huge crowd.

[Maria Bartiromo @MariaBartiromo]

The board already approved the name change @kencen the way these judges go after @realDonaldTrump is absolutely sick and the history books will reveal how sick and un American they are -Grow Up & stop wasting everyone's time on your politics
also fyi from @LauraLoomer - Dorothy Ames Jeffress, the wife of Judge Christopher R. Cooper, the Obama-appointed judge who just ordered the removal of President Trump’s name from the Kennedy Center, served as the attorney for both Lisa Page and Nancy Pelosi. yet another example of a “Get Trump” ruling by another leftist activist judge with an anti-Trump wife.
Do they not realize 🇺🇸 wants @realDonaldTrump to win? Stop handicapping him & playing politics

[Masih Alinejad 🏳️ @AlinejadMasih]

I broke down crying on live CBS television. I couldn’t hold it together anymore. Because it was the 4th time that I sat in a courtroom watching actual assassins, convicted murderers sent by the Islamic Republic to kill me, face charges on American soil.

You’d think that feels like winning. Unfortunately , it doesn’t. Because all I could think about was them. The same killers back home in Iran, The innocent people facing the exact same murderers, the same regime, the same orders, the same hands, with no courtroom. No lawyer. No protection. Just a rope at dawn and a family forbidden from crying at their grave.

In America, they get arrested. In Iran, the same murderers are hanging my protesters killing women and children.

I survived. I am supposed to feel grateful. But how do you feel grateful when the same machine that came for you is still running, and your family back home are still dying?

This is called survivor guilt. And it doesn’t leave me…..

A single dose of doxycycline can decrease the risk of contracting Lyme disease after a tick bite from 3% to 1%.

Allergic reactions to doxycycline are extremely rare - the lowest of all antibiotics.

@US_FDA should make single-dose doxycycline available to the public without a prescription.

[Insurrection Barbie @DefiyantlyFree]

Martina McBride and every other entertainer who won’t honor their country at its 250th birthday celebration just outed themselves as privileged, petulant ungrateful people.

Oh you don’t like who the President is but you won’t honor America on its birthday? The country that gave you every single thing you have. Your fame, success, money.

So you only love this county when your team wins?

It’s a shameful display of privilege. No gratitude. No humility. No pride in your country.

You’re not hurting Trump or any of the other Americans who will proudly be celebrating that day. You’re just outing yourself as a thankless partisan coward.

[Amy Kremer @AmyKremer]

Shame on you, Martina.

You’re accusing others of being political when you’re the one walking away because of politics.

Nobody forced you to perform.

Nobody silenced you.

You made a choice. Own it.

Don’t blame everyone else for a decision you made.

If celebrating America alongside people who disagree with you politically is a bridge too far, just say so.

But don’t pretend you’re the victim here.

I’ve lost all respect.

[Sarah Adams @sarahadams]

I find it so incredibly offensive that some musicians don’t even want to celebrate the 250 year birthday of the greatest country on earth. A lot of these people truly haven’t a clue what has been sacrificed for this country or how many Americans gave everything so they could live the lives they do today.

This nation was built and defended by generations willing to fight, bleed, and die for freedom, opportunity, and the ability to speak openly including the freedom to complain about America while benefiting from everything it provides.

Celebrating 250 years should not even be controversial. It’s about honoring the people who built this country, defended it, and kept it standing through every challenge thrown at it.

Loving your country is not a bad thing, no matter how hard some people try to manipulate and convince you otherwise. Pride in your nation, its people, and its sacrifices is something to be proud of and worth standing up for. Screw anyone trying to shame people for loving America.

@WallStreetApes This is true and it's terrible our forests have been mismanaged.

Columbus Circle is a historic front door to Washington, D.C. and thanks to @POTUS, today it is once again ready to welcome the public! 🇺🇸

[Benny Johnson @bennyjohnson]

This is Columbus Circle.

Under Biden:
-"HAMAS IS COMING" spray painted
-Violent mobs climbing the statue
-Foreign flags

Under Trump:
-Sparkling clean
-Water flowing in the fountain
-American flags
-Soldiers on guard

Two photos. Same monument.

One election made all the difference.

Thank you, President Trump. 🇺🇸

Weekly reminder: Decline is a choice.

[Cynical Publius @CynicalPublius]

We gave up on “civility” when you tried to stage a literal coup via the “Trump/Russia Collusion” hoax.

We abandoned “comity” when you decided that serial impeachments based on lies and fables were your preferred method of thwarting the Constitutional will of the American electorate.

We decided against “collegiality” after you decided it was better to fabricate criminal charges to defeat your opponents than it was to try and defeat them at the ballot box.

We threw out pretensions of “courtesy” the one-zillionth time you called us “Nazis” while your own candidates sport SS Totenkopf tattoos.

We play by your rules now, Democrats.

Deal with it.

(You too, Mike Pence.)
