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.

Wouldn’t it be great if Tesla driverless Cybercabs were available for both personal ownership and ride hailing for independence for those with mobility issues, blindness, those without driver license etc.? @elonmusk

I taught many to swim. Hold your breath underwater while squatting in shallow water, then pop up for breath. Then swim underwater in shallow water, holding breath. Then swim to deeper water and back to shallow. Then learn to pop to surface to catch a breath and go back under.Once underwater swimming mastered, you can learn to swim on the surface much more easily. This method can be learned in minutes.

🚨 Leqaa Kordia is a fake “student” who arrived in 2016 on a student visa.

She’s also a Palestinian terror-supporter from the West Bank.

She’s been here on our dime for 10 years. She was supposed to return in 2022. She not only overstayed her visa, but there’s no concrete evidence she ever attended college, other than one language course.

She became a familiar, unhinged protestor on the campus of Columbia University after the Oct 7 massacres, chanting for the end of America and Israel.

ICE arrested her one year ago. She was released last month by a Biden judge.

The minute she was released from ICE detention, she began screeching “Free Palestine!” then wildly chanted in Arabic.

She’s now the featured guest speaker at the American Muslims for Palestine conference on May 2, along with other known terror-supporters.

This non-citizen, who supports U.S.-designated terrorist organizations, is still unleashed on our soil.

A friend said “we can’t vote our way out” of all the corruption that now exists in our system. I disagree.

I absolutely do believe we can vote our way out of this. Multiple steps required, though:

1. Take back education. Universal school choice laws like those newly passed in Florida, Texas, Arkansas and Indiana help. So does dismembering the federal Education Department. Critical thinking skills are necessary to overcome a generation of Critical Theory indoctrination.

2. Continue voting for leaders like Trump, DeSantis, Huckabee-Sanders, et al. who actually will go after the centers of corruption, and even more to the point, will go after the decades of bad Supreme Court precedent that gives the bureaucracy vastly more practical power than the elected branches. Overturning Chevron was big; overturning Humphrey's Executor may prove bigger.

3. Continue voting for the people who will nominate judges who are willing to follow the Constitution. The change from ten years ago, or twenty, is already just staggering.

4. Continue voting for leaders who will defund Democrat slush funds like USAID, who will repeal 139 federal regulations for every one new one, and who will meaningfully reduce the power to skim.

5. Continue adding layers of election security that will combat or prevent fraud that makes it harder to elect those people.

6. Continue voting for leaders who will prevent the sort of mass illegal immigration Biden encouraged, plainly for the purpose of "stuffing the electorate" and adding House seats and Electoral votes to blue states.

7. And above all, teach civics to a generation that doesn't understand it AT ALL. Our system is the best in the world. It is worth fighting for. But you can't fight for what you don't understand.

BONUS ITEM: Fight these battles in the primary. Pick the best candidate possible. Then, if you don't get your way, beat the Democrat in November and come back next time to get a better nominee in the primary. Contrary to public belief, incumbents get beaten all the time. But the voters have to take responsibility or it doesn't happen. And leaders (like you and me) have to take responsibility for doing what we can, where we are, with what we have.

I absolutely have not lost hope. I see how much we've achieved. I know what we can do. Now is the time to execute.

Sounds crazy... but it actually isn't.

DC retrocession was enacted by presidential proclamation and can be restored just as easily with a simple Executive Order.

Retrocession also never legally came into force.

Congress required both the town of Alexandria and the  county of Arlington to separately vote yes before retrocession could happen. The town voted for it. The county voted against. But the votes were illegally combined to create a false majority.

If you’re wondering how our elections in America are always so close, like how Democrats pulled ahead in Virginia’s redistricting within a few percentage points, this is how

Former CIA Operations Officer Gary Berntsen explains there are teams of people who rig our elections and keep the vote totals extremely close, by slim margins, so it’s believable and hard to prove fraud

Lara Logan interviews Former CIA operations officer Gary Berntsen. He explains, in detail, how elections are being stolen in America

He describes there are teams of statisticians, mathematicians, and hackers who map out every county and identify where margins can be quietly adjusted

Different techniques are used in each location so nothing matches in a recount. When a 70-30 county becomes 68-32, nobody notices. But when you add up these differences across an entire state, those tiny amounts of fraud decide outcomes

Both former CIA operations officer Gary Berntsen and author Ralph Pezzullo explain the strategy. They explain they don't flip the big blue cities. Instead they shave votes in the places no one ever audits

“They know where they can find the dead people... Mm-hmm.”

“They plan this, It's meticulous. It's meticulous. These guys are experts at this. It's not just a few guys in a back room. You're talking about hundreds of statisticians and engineers, and they work it, you know, for a year to plan and mathematicians and hackers.”

“We had a map out of Colorado when we were talking to our engineers, the guys that designed it, that stole the elections.

— We just go to every one place where Trump wins 70-30 and — Shaved it off.

We shave in every other place. We don't go near a Democratic place, because when they wanna do recounts, they're gonna go to the Democratic places. They don't realize we shaved in every other committee. We know every other county.

We know how to do this. And then in each of those things where they shave, they shave with a different technique in each one of those. So if you found something in, in one county, there's no continuity around the state that way.

So this is why the Republicans are so much at fault, because they have the power and the ability to show in their areas they can allow access to the machines, they can allow access to the source code”

People need to go to prison. Democrats are stealing elections nationwide in every county, in every state of America

Patriots Day. Marking April 19, 1775. When Americans took up arms against their king, and bled, at the crack of terrible dawn.

It's a holiday in Massachusetts and Maine, which was then part of Massachusetts. Should be a national holiday.

July 4 marks the day they published a piece of paper, telling the king to shove it. Important. Up until then it was a civil war. Americans who considered themselves Englishmen fighting British troops. After that, it was Americans fighting the British for their independence.

Patriots Day is first blood.

I took my boy to Lexington for the re-enactment when he was just six. We arrived well before dawn, to get a place right on the Green. Right by the stone that marks the place where Capt. Parker's line was. With his reported order etched in it, "Stand your ground. Don't fire unless fired upon, but if they mean to have a war, let it begin here."

Which is where it did.

There was a light rain, and my boy pressed himself against my legs for shelter and warmth. A woolen horse blanket over our heads against the rain.

Around 5 am he said, "Daddy, my feet are cold."

I said, "Stamp your feet." So he did.
Only complaint out of him. Brave boy.

Just before dawn, we heard the fifes and drums coming up Massachusetts Avenue. The same road the British took on their 20-mile march from Boston to Concord to seize a cache of American guns and munitions.

Why we have 2A. The British could see where things were going, and were actively trying to disarm the Americans. In New England, close to Canada, they were heavily armed. Nearly every able-bodied man had a musket and was in the militia. White and black.

My boy and I heard the crash of boots. Loud. I felt him shudder against my legs.

Then the British re-enactors rushed onto the Green, shouting.

Both sides in their reports after the fact agreed, no one knows who fired the first shot. Was it an accidental discharge, a provocateur trying to get things going? No one knows.

Both sides erupted in fire. A cacophony of flints sparking powder in the pan, then the discharge. A violent discordant atonal symphony, up and down the line. Clouds of white gunsmoke, with streaks of fire cutting through. The British troops in red uniforms and black leather helmets pushing forward, bayoneting the militia in their broadcloth farmers' work clothes. Officers trying to bring it to a stop.

The British had fired without orders. Royal Marines Maj. John Pitcairn, who had been tapped to lead an Army vanguard, did not want this. He was a man respected and liked by the Americans who knew him. Killed later at Bunker Hill, buried in the Old North Church. The British troops by now hated the Jonathans, as they called the New Englanders, who never missed an opportunity to mock them.
The troops finally brought to heel, they marched the five miles on to Concord. Leaving the American dead and wounded on Lexington Green behind them. The first Americans to take up arms for their freedom.

My boy is grown. He's one of them now. An American soldier. Ranger tab, jumps out of airplanes. For you.

He told me years later, he knew what he was going to do from age 5. 9/11. We always spoke to the kids in age appropriate ways about what was happening in the world. He knew. He was the one, flipping channels from Sesame Street to Nickelodeon before kindergarten, who saw the Twin Towers spewing smoke and went to tell his mother.

When he was seven, when I was back from Iraq, tucking him in, he said, "Dad. When I grow up, if I'm not killed in battle, I want to be a major league baseball player."

So we still make them like that, those farmers who lined up at Lexington Green.

Where is the Spirit of 1775?

As a child, I was haunted, nay, inspired by a single image: a line of farmers, blacksmiths, and preachers standing shoulder to shoulder on a quiet patch of grass called Lexington Green.

It was a cold morning on this day in April 1775. The British, the most feared military on the planet were marching toward them in perfect formation. Their uniforms were pristine. Their boots struck the dirt with rhythm. And they carried the weight of empire behind their bayonets. But our ancestors stood anyway.

I think of them often. I try to imagine what it felt like to wear their coats, grip a musket with shaking hands, breathe in that cold air, and lock eyes with trained killers. And the more I think of them, the more I realize something difficult to admit: They all died that day.

Maybe not in flesh. But inside. Long before they ever shouldered arms. You see, tyranny has a way of killing men while they’re still alive. Slowly. Quietly. One freedom at a time. One humiliation at a time. One injustice at a time. Until something in the soul snaps.

There’s a line. Thin, invisible, but absolute, between tolerable suffering and spiritual death. When a peaceful man is pushed past that line, he becomes something else entirely. Not a brute. Nor a savage. But something more ancient. Something elemental.

Only peaceful men truly understand this. Only men who love their families, who go to work, who pray in quiet, who hope for a better future. They alone carry the burden of that final transformation. When the last door closes, when every appeal is ignored, when they see more value in risking death than in living as a slave… something awakens.

This is what tyranny did to them in 1775. And this is exactly what progressivism is doing to the West in 2026.

We must all hold the very line of civilization itself. Because what’s unfolding before our eyes isn’t progress, it’s regress.

PRESIDENT TRUMP: “America was not founded by weak and timid men who cowered in the face of evil or sat by as danger loomed and let our country go to hell.”

“We are descended from the likes of George Washington, Andrew Jackson, Generals Ulysses S. Grant, Douglas MacArthur, General George Patton.”

“Our ancestors knew exactly what to do with America's enemies. Beat them and beat them good."

What do a demolished building, a dental office, and an immigrant hub have in common?

In Michigan, they’re all billing Medicaid, and you’re paying for it.

I went chasing a lead, all I found was the demo team eating lunch.

That crew sent me chasing a story that found $118M billed by 21 dissolved businesses across the state.

The demolition site became the blueprint I needed to follow the money. 🧵🇺🇸

Justice Clarence Thomas on the Constitution’s purpose of protecting Americans’ natural rights:

“The Constitution is the means of government. It is the declaration that announces the ends of government. The Constitution achieves this purpose by protecting our natural rights and our liberties from concentrated power and excessive democracy. Our Constitution creates a separation of powers and federalism, truly for the first time in modern history, to prevent the government from becoming so strong that it threatens our natural rights.”
