BREAKING: Dozens of Christians were massacred in Ethiopia over the course of the last week by Islamists.

Tens of thousands of Christians have been slaughtered by Islamists across Africa, and the world doesn’t seem to care.

[Blue Lives Matter @bluelivesmtr]

EXPOSED: Vice President Vance just dropped a bombshell about an elderly man who lost his life as part of a fraud scheme - that was ultimately stopped by the Trump administration.

The man should have been getting health services... but gone NONE:

"That man lived his final moments on this earth NEGLECTED while a FRAUDSTER got rich by providing services that he never actually provided!"

"Nothing, no services, no help, no check-ins, and the very man, the vulnerable elderly man that he was supposed to be protecting and looking after was reimbursed by the taxpayer in order to do exactly that, that man died."

"And one day before he died, after months of being neglected by the caretaker who was getting reimbursed by the American people, one day before he died, he submitted his final reimbursement for services he never provided for a man he never cared for."

"That's what we're trying to stop, ladies and gentlemen, that's what we have to fight back against. It's a shame that anything like that happens."

"But if it does happen, the only way to protect those people and the only way to protect the American taxpayer is to ensure that the fraudsters go to prison and that they stop this ridiculous scam on the American people."

Hello Mr. Hunter Biden,

You're getting six-digit likes on every post lately. I don't have any hope to ratio you or whatever through traditional "Hello" means.

But for those uninitiated, those who are captivated by your fake-humble persona obviously PR-engineered to capture unsuspecting disaffected Republicans:

You are not some humility, witty guy turning over a new leaf. You are the ultimate proof of nepotism, everything that the so-called "Epstein Class" is supposed to represent.

Let me explain - off the top of my head.

You were a board member of USGLC. U.S. Global Leadership Coalition. The most powerful NGO that nobody's ever heard of. Last year, I documented in several threads, how Liz Schrayer, USGLC lead, took credit for ramming through a 90 billion dollar bill for Ukraine in 2024, even as @mattvanswol demonstrated that Western North Carolina got zero help in the aftermath of Hurricane Helene because FEMA threw up their hands and said they ran out of funds.

USGLC, arguably, is the most powerful NGO that nobody has ever heard of. It includes a bunch of corporations, a bunch of nonprofit leads, and ... for some magical reason, I documented, extensively, linked, that Liz Schrayer started pursuing you in 2012. During the Obama years, when you were Biden's son. Are you a former Secretary of State? No. Are you a CEO of a Fortune 500 company? No. That puts you below the average USGLC board member, by a good tier.

So what DID get you on USGLC? The only reason: that you were the son of a sitting Vice President known for corruption, and you yourself were known for corruption.

You are not "folksy." You are the worst of the worst of the elite. Most of the elite, at least, get their credentials through Georgetown/George Washington/Harvard Kennedy. You got yours purely on nepotism. Any photographs you have of yourself at motels is proof that you are so incompetent that you waste all your money, not that you come from humble beginnings. Because others like @MarcoPolo501c3 have thoroughly documented that you benefited a great deal from your nepotism.

You even tried to bait those in with saying you prefer to keep immigration "legal" - but we all know the trap that keeps illegal immgrants here: outlaw deportations, and make every immigrant case "asylum", and magically, everyone who might've been here illegally a few years ago is legal.

You may get 175K likes on your semi-subverting, PR-designed photographs. But those of us who know, know you're fake.

🚨 HOLY SMOKES. FBI Director Kash Patel reveals **3 MILLION** p*dophile accounts on the Tor network were taken down, plus a nearly 100% SURGE in child predator arrests

"7,200 kids that we found that got to go home. 3,400 child predators and traffickers arrested. That's up 99% from the best year Biden ever had. That means kids are being protected at levels that are simply unheard of!"

"And that means this FBI, here's another thing. We didn't just do the physical work on the streets. We went to the cyber community and we dismantled 3 million pedophile accounts off the Tor network where these predators prey on our children and think they can hide from this FBI."

"They can't. We are going to the ends of the earth and the cyber realm to make sure our most precious commodity kids are safeguarded."

"And the numbers speak for themselves because the FBI are putting kids first." @FBIDirectorKash @kayleighmcenany

[Homeland Security @DHSgov]

FACT CHECK: There has been NO spike in deaths. Consistent with data over the last decade, as of April 30, death rates in custody under the Trump administration are 0.009% of the detained population.

Under this updated policy, when an individual is no longer in ICE custody then ICE will no longer be responsible for monitoring or reviewing deaths that may occur. This is common sense.

ICE is not responsible when an individual passes away weeks after leaving their custody.

Just a reminder that the ONLY Republican running for Mecklenburg County (Charlotte NC) District 1 dropped out of the race...

...BECAUSE NOT A SINGLE PERSON WAS ARRESTED FOR FIRING SHOTS AT HIS HOME WHILE HIS WIFE AND KIDS WERE INSIDE!!!!!

Local police SPECIFICALLY CONFIRMED the attack was targeted at Aaron Marin.

Bullet holes can be seen in trees, cars, mailbox, and his kid's basketball hoop. Marin's ENTIRE FAMILY was forced to leave their home and Aaron says they live in, "constant fear."

He says his kids no longer even feel safe to play outside and they are moving now.

CAN ANYONE EXPLAIN WHY ZERO MAINSTREAM MEDIA OUTLET COVERED THIS??????!!!!!!

REPUBLICANS ARE LITERALLY BEING SHOT AT AND THERE IS SILENCE FROM THE MEDIA!!!!!!

WHERE IS THE OUTRAGE?!!!!!!

[Mike Netter @nettermike]

Let’s now introduce you to the woman who’s culpable in the murder of a young lady that was stabbed to death inside the Skyline Chili in Norwood Ohio
She not only gave the animal probation with no bond over a year ago after he assaulted a police officer, a warrant for his arrest was out to no avail.
The murderer was just walking the streets of Norwood for a year until he finally was arrested for the murder of a woman that was just trying to make money for her 2 kids and her ill father.
This is an absolutely heartbreaking and infuriating case. Alyssa “Ally” Hill, a 27-year-old single mother of two young children who was also caring for her ill father, was brutally stabbed to death on June 2, 2026, while working her shift at the Skyline Chili on Montgomery Road in Norwood, Ohio, during the lunch rush.
Feel free to share Aren’t you just sick of judges not “judging?

Not the way I would have chosen to make it into the pages of the New York Post, but yes - today is the 6th anniversary of Fracture Day.

This article does a good job of outlining this series of escalating betrayals that led up to Fracture Day. It's at least as good as what I might have written as a follow-up to my defining post last year.

I will only add that we need to put Fracture Day in the context of what we know about the mechanisms of totalitarian repression. Totalitarians do not merely crave obedience to force, because that doesn't scale well to controlling an entire society. What they want is for their victims to install the mechanisms of repression in their own skulls, every person his own secret policeman.

The enemies of liberty tried to use COVID and the George Floyd protests to do that to us. Never forget. Never forgive. And never relax your vigilance against another attempt.

A Letter from a Boomer to Gen Z

I read your letter. I hear your anger. You feel betrayed, and a lot of you have every right to feel that way.
You’re right that it got bad. But let me tell you how it actually happened from our side.

We switched parties more than once trying to get smaller government. We voted for politicians who promised to cut spending, secure the border, and put Americans first. We showed up at the polls. We wrote letters. We trusted the system.

The politicians did what they wanted anyway.
We never voted for open borders. We never voted to ship our factories overseas. We never voted to raid the Social Security lockbox or take the country off the gold standard. Those decisions were made by the generation before us and the permanent ruling class in Washington. They broke the deal no matter which party we sent to power.

We built the interstate system, the power grid, the early internet backbone, the satellite networks, and much of the physical world you live in today. You enjoy the benefits of that infrastructure every single day. We handed it to you in far better shape than we received it.

The suffering you feel, the wage stagnation, the housing crisis, the debt, the broken trust, didn’t fully hit until your generation and the one after. We watched it coming, warned about it, and got called every name in the book for doing so.

We didn’t create this mess. We inherited part of it and then failed to stop it. That’s on us. But pretending we wanted this outcome or voted for it is simply not true.
We still believe in hard work, self-reliance, and building something real. We hope you do too.

The country we grew up in had real problems, but it also had real opportunity. You deserve that same chance.

A Boomer who still shows up and votes every single time

[ThePersistence @ScottPresler]

Senator Lisa Murkowski is the ONLY Republican Senator that did NOT vote to fully fund DHS & ICE.

“Vote YES to end the MESS.”

[Speaker Mike Johnson @SpeakerJohnson]

In 29 days, we will celebrate the 250th birthday of our exceptional nation, which became the greatest of all because we were the first to declare the self-evident truth that all people are created equal by God.

Not “born equal.” We are “CREATED equal.”

Because God made us all in His image, it means EVERY SINGLE PERSON has inestimable DIGNITY and VALUE—and our value is not related in any way to the color of our skin, what zip code we live in, what our talents are, our health condition, or any other factor. Our value is inherent, because it is given to us by our loving Heavenly Father.

When a culture devolves to the point of depravity where “influencers” can go online and so casually dismiss the deliberate murder of their own precious child, the survival of that culture itself is at risk.

God have mercy on our nation as we pray and work for an end to this evil, for hearts and minds to change, and for a renewed understanding of the self-evident truths and the sanctity of all human life.

“Before I formed you in the womb I knew you.” (Jeremiah 1:5)
