The thing that I keep thinking about is:
If the Senate is willing to withhold information from the American people about its own colleagues,
how can we even trust them for a second when they say, “We don’t have the votes.”
What else are they withholding?
This HVAC tech found an elderly man with the heat on in the middle of summer. The thermostat was set to 95. He had to literally draw him a diagram to explain how the system worked and why the house was getting so hot. Check in on your grandparents or any elderly people in your life.
🚨 A man in body armor sat outside a North Carolina church with 2 flamethrowers, 500+ rounds of ammo, and a notebook full of church addresses.
He never made it inside.
This wasn't just an "armed man" story. There are important lessons every church security team should learn from how this incident unfolded.

One of the most incredible storm damage pictures I’ve ever seen happened this morning in South Dakota. A 131 mph wind gust in the city of Highmore split the roof of the Catholic Church perfectly illuminating the crucifix. This is not AI, it’s been confirmed real by locals. Truly amazing.

Before you complain, give thanks.
Before you react, be still.
Before you post, consider your witness.
Before you lead, serve.
Before you fear tomorrow, trust God's promises.
Before you face the world, bow before the King.
“We are NOT a Christian nation!”
“Separation of church and state!”
“Benjamin Franklin was a deist!”
On this date, June 28, 1787, Benjamin Franklin delivered his famous “Prayer Speech” at the Constitutional Convention.
This is the one where Franklin, amid deadlocks and frustrations in the Convention, implored the delegates to begin sessions with prayer, acknowledging human limitations and seeking divine assistance. Here is the full transcript (from James Madison’s notes and standard historical sources, with minor spelling normalizations for readability):
Mr. President:
The small progress we have made after four or five weeks close attendance & continual reasonings with each other—our different sentiments on almost every question, several of the last producing as many noes as ays, is methinks a melancholy proof of the imperfection of the Human Understanding. We indeed seem to feel our own want of political wisdom, since we have been running about in search of it. We have gone back to ancient history for models of government, and examined the different forms of those Republics which having been formed with the seeds of their own dissolution now no longer exist. And we have viewed modern states all round Europe, but find none of their Constitutions suitable to our circumstances.
In this situation of this Assembly, groping as it were in the dark to find political truth, and scarce able to distinguish it when presented to us, how has it happened, Sir, that we have not hitherto once thought of humbly applying to the Father of lights to illuminate our understandings? In the beginning of the Contest with G. Britain, when we were sensible of danger we had daily prayer in this room for the divine protection.—Our prayers, Sir, were heard, & they were graciously answered. All of us who were engaged in the struggle must have observed frequent instances of a superintending providence in our favor. To that kind providence we owe this happy opportunity of consulting in peace on the means of establishing our future national felicity. And have we now forgotten that powerful friend? or do we imagine that we no longer need his assistance?
I have lived, Sir, a long time, and the longer I live, the more convincing proofs I see of this truth—that God governs in the affairs of men. And if a sparrow cannot fall to the ground without his notice, is it probable that an empire can rise without his aid? We have been assured, Sir, in the sacred writings, that “except the Lord build the House they labour in vain that build it.” I firmly believe this; and I also believe that without his concurring aid we shall succeed in this political building no better than the Builders of Babel: We shall be divided by our little partial local interests; our projects will be confounded, and we ourselves shall become a reproach and byword down to future ages. And what is worse, mankind may hereafter from this unfortunate instance, despair of establishing Governments by Human wisdom and leave it to chance, war and conquest.
I therefore beg leave to move—that henceforth prayers imploring the assistance of Heaven, and its blessings on our deliberations, be held in this Assembly every morning before we proceed to business, and that one or more of the Clergy of this City be requested to officiate in that service.
Sometimes the greatest miracles happen when you keep your eyes on Jesus instead of the storm.
Faith doesn’t make the waves disappear, it gives you the courage to walk through them.
WOW 🚨 Rep Tim Burchett says the housing bills that are we pushed through by Republicans and Democrats is a “Trojan horse”
The bill allows for illegals to get taxpayer funded housing and rental assistance, and lets illegals buy homes in America
“Something in it is just crazy. It doesn't limit illegals from receiving housing welfare or limit foreign ownership. It actually includes Rashida Tlaib's $200 million affordable housing pilot program and includes COVID-era eviction moratoriums — You talk about the deep state, that's what it is”
“Everybody, the only color they see is green and it's coming out of your dadgum pocket. It's ridiculous.”
He’s absolutely right,
The 21st Century ROAD to Housing Act
- Expands housing-related programs and grants without adding stronger verification, citizenship requirements, or bans on funds flowing to noncitizens
- States like California would be able to use the money for programs to pay for housing for illegals
- The bill does not restrict non-US citizens or foreign entities from buying home
- It expands COVID-era eviction moratoriums and protections, which favors tenants like noncitizens over landlords and American citizens
