I'll probably get dinged or thrown off of Nextdoor for this post, but so be it. For the past 2 or 3 weeks, when I drive on Bus 29/Hwy 211 in Warrenton I see line of maybe a dozen protesters with signs. Most of them are dressed
I would like to offer to pay the salaries of TSA personnel during this funding impasse that is negatively affecting the lives of so many Americans at airports throughout the country
SecDef Pete Hegseth stares right at the press and goes scorched earth, spelling out their insanity. I could watch this all day.
"You, and I mean specifically YOU, the press, you cheer against Trump so hard, it's in your DNA and in your blood to cheer against Trump, because you want him not to be successful so bad, you have to cheer against the efficacy of these strikes. You have to hope maybe they weren't effective."
"Maybe the way the Trump administration is representative isn't true. So let's take half truths, spun information, leaked information, and then spin it, spin it in every way we can to try to cause doubt and manipulate the mind, the public mind, over whether or not our brave pilots were successful."
"How many stories have been written about how hard it is to, I don't know, fly a plane for 36 hours? Has MSNBC done that story? Has Fox? Have we done the story how hard that is?"
"There are so many aspects of what our brave men and women did that because of the hatred of this press corps are undermined because people are trying to leak and spin that it wasn't successful. It's irresponsible."
"You're undermining the success of incredible B-2 pilots and incredible F-35 pilots and incredible refuelers and incredible air defenders who accomplished their mission."
"How about we talk about how special America is, that only we have these capabilities? I think it's too much to ask, unfortunately, for the fake news. So we're used to that."
Do you firmly support Pete Hegseth on this?
A. Huge Yes
B. No
IF Yes, Give me a THUMBS-UP👍!!
MAKE THIS GO VIRAL ON 𝕏. LET’S GO 👏
🔥 GOV. RON DESANTIS just TORCHED the fake news.
“I’ve NEVER seen a single one of you show up for an angel mom who lost her child to illegal alien crime.”
“I’ve NEVER seen you fight for the victims of illegal immigration.”
“Not. One. Time.” 🫳🏻🎤
Do you agree with DeSantis calling out the media like this?
A. Yes, 100%
B. Absolutely
C. Not really
D. No
Christopher Hitchens: ”In 1786, when the United States was barely a country, it was having its sailors taken as slaves by the Barbary states, the states of the Ottoman Empire and North Africa. Tripoli, shores of Tripoli. Ships stopped, its crews carried off into slavery. We estimate 1.5 million European and American slaves taken between 1750 and 1815.
Jefferson and Adams went to their ambassador in London and said, why do you do this to us? The United States has never had a quarrel with the Muslim world of any kind. We weren't in the crusades. We weren't at war with Spain. Why do you do this to our people and our ships? Why do you plunder and enslave our people? The ambassador said very plainly, Mr. Abdul Rahman said, because the Quran gives us permission to do so, because you are infidels, and that's our answer. Jefferson said, well, in that case, I will send a navy which will crush your state, which he did.
Islamic fundamentalism is not created by American democracy. It's a lie to say so. It's a masochistic lie, and it excuses those who are the real criminals, and blames us for the attacks made upon us.”
🚨 JUST IN: Japanese PM Sanae Takaichi is being praised by Americans for personally going to Arlington National Cemetery and laying a wreath at the Tomb of the Unknown Soldier
She loves and respects America 🇺🇸🇯🇵
I’m a Jew, I don’t pray to Jesus, and I have zero problem with @SecWar asking the vast majority of Americans to pray to their lord and savior for the safety of our troops. And neither should you.
Minority rights means no one is prosecuting me or asking me to leave the country because I’m not Christian. It doesn’t mean we have to pretend America isn’t a Christian nation. You can cherish the former without being against the latter. It’s called being American.
@SenTimKaine What term do you prefer to describe non-citizens that enter the US without permission? Maybe . . . uh - future Dim Party Voters? No . . . a bit too obvious . . . ah what about bodies that don't vote but count towards census and increases my parties House or Rep Vote? I like it!
I'd sure like to know your investment strategy, can you publish your stock transfers help me with my health costs? Looking at lowest murder rate since the early 20th century is a pretty good pay off for enforcement.
I voted HELL NO on the Department of Homeland Security appropriations legislation. With this bill, it is now clear that Donald Trump and Republicans slashed Americans’ health care funding to write a blank check for cruelty and impunity. Americans are being told to accept higher health care costs so this Administration can maintain their reckless and unaccountable enforcement agenda without meaningful reforms or guardrails for ICE and CBP.
Democrats have raised repeated concerns about unlawful practices, lack of transparency, and deadly harm to families and communities. Those concerns have been ignored. We can fund our security without abandoning our values, but this bill fails that test.
The fact that I’m being attacked doesn’t bother me one bit. It tells me exactly what I need to know: we’re right over the target.
If I weren’t a threat, they wouldn’t be coming after me.
Period.
Texans are ready for something different.
They want someone young.
They want a servant, not a career politician.
They want someone who actually believes in this country, is willing to fight for it, has fought for it in combat.
The time is NOW.
