My husband, @mattvanswol has been locked out of his X account for refusing to delete a post he made this morning.
X locked his account for “abuse and harassment” which of course, he did not do.
In fact, he did the EXACT OPPOSITE and stated how horrible the video was and how awful it was to watch.
How can we “be the news” if we cannot post the news without being forced to delete it?
This is wrong.
People should be allowed to see the content Matt posts, regardless of whether it is hard to watch or not.
Personally, I often find it really difficult to watch some of the content Matt posts because it is so horrible.
And that’s exactly the point.
People need to KNOW things like this are happening… because without people like Matt, so many stories would not be national news and catalysts for change.
@x and @elonmusk please fix this.
DHS just put out a fact sheet DEBUNKING the media’s lies about the ICE shooting in Texas
The left literally lie about everything.
This is what the media doesn’t want you to see!👇🏻
CLAIM: ICE refused to remove the bullet from the illegal alien’s body.
FACT: This is false. ICE does not and would not advise, nor be the authority on, a medical procedure for an illegal alien at a hospital.
CLAIM: The illegal alien had a valid work permit.
FACT: This is false. The illegal alien’s work permit expired in 2025. Furthermore, a work permit does NOT grant legal status.
CLAIM: The illegal alien was ordered removed in absentia.
FACT: Yes. This is why aliens must show up to their removal proceedings. Legal obligations do not end because someone’s address changed.
CLAIM: This illegal alien is here legally.
FACT: This is false. This person is in the U.S. illegally. He entered illegally under the Biden Administration. The illegal alien had no valid work permit, had no protective status, and had a final order of removal from a Department of Justice (DOJ) Immigration Judge.
CLAIM: This illegal alien has received no pain medication.
FACT: This is false. This illegal alien is receiving medical care around the clock, including pain medication.
CLAIM: The illegal alien has been forced to sleep on the floor.
FACT: This is false. This alien was released from the hospital and arrived at the detention facility just a few hours later, where he slept on a bed. Aliens in ICE custody receive a higher standard of living than most prisons that hold U.S. citizens.
CLAIM: This illegal alien was indiscriminately targeted by ICE.
FACT: This is false. This illegal alien was the subject of a targeted vehicle stop. What makes someone a target for immigration enforcement is whether or not they are illegally in the U.S.
CLAIM: That ICE needs to get out of Austin.
FACT: This is false. ICE will not be slowing down nor leaving Austin. DHS is tasked with enforcing the laws passed by Congress. We do not pick and choose which laws to enforce or where to enforce them. We will continue to enforce our nation’s laws.
I stand with ICE! 🇺🇸
The first time ordinary English people could afford to eat meat, Parliament passed a law to stop them.
In 1256 the harvest workers on one Norfolk manor were fed a diet that was 4% meat by value. Most of the rest was bread. The deer belonged to the king, the rabbits to the lord, and the peasant to the pottage.
Then the Black Death killed half the country. Suddenly there were more fields than hands. The survivors could name their price, and they named it in beef.
1351: wages are frozen by law at their level before the plague. Asking for more is a crime, and every village is ordered to build a set of stocks for those who do.
1361: a labourer who leaves his lord for better pay is to be branded on the forehead with an F, for falsehood.
1363: a statute lays down what a servant may eat. Meat or fish once a day and no more.
It held for 30 years. In June 1381 the ploughmen marched on London, took the Tower, and beheaded the Archbishop of Canterbury.
Wat Tyler put their demands to the king in person. An end to serfdom. And every park, warren, river and wood in England thrown open, so that a poor man might take game the same as a rich one.
At St Albans the rebels walked into the abbot's private warren, caught a rabbit, and tied it to the town pillory, as notice that the game was now theirs.
Tyler was stabbed at the meeting. The king, who was 14, took back every promise. Villeins you are, he told them, and villeins you shall remain.
9 years later came the reply to the rabbit.
1390: nobody worth under 40 shillings a year may keep a hunting dog, a ferret or a net, on pain of a year in prison. Parliament wrote its reasoning into the preamble. Labourers had been seen out hunting on holy days like gentlemen, and were using the hunts as cover to meet and plot another rising.
There were plenty of deer. What could not be tolerated was a ploughman with a haunch of venison, because a man who can feed himself can afford to say no.
The laws failed. Hands were too scarce, and by 1424 that same Norfolk manor was feeding its harvesters 28% meat.
The instinct behind the laws has never failed once. Whenever the poor get their hands on meat, somebody important discovers a reason they should not have it. The king's pleasure. The social order. Their cholesterol. The climate.
The reason is replaced every century. The people giving it have never once missed a steak.
Where the fuck was the music industry’s big brave defence of artistic freedom when I got arrested, blacklisted and deplatformed for saying a woman is an adult human female?? Same when they piled on @roisinmurphy over puberty blockers. Same when they hounded @MrWinMarshall out of his own band over a book. They were busy pouring petrol on the fire. Now Macklemore’s on Ed Sheeran’s tour banging on about Palestine and suddenly they’re all clutching their pearls about free speech and solidarity. Give over!! 😂 Funny how the principle only turns up once the approved sacred cow slogan is on the setlist. The rest of the time they’re first in the queue with the matches!!
I feel that the 25th anniversary of 9/11 has caused a critical mass of Americans to reach an inflection point on their understanding of that event.
We are starting to realize that we lost the Global War on Terror. We did not lose it on military grounds. We lost it on spiritual grounds. Domestically we are succumbing to the goals of Sharia and jihad, which was EXACTLY what the 9/11 terrorists sought to bring about with their heinous actions.
Now that more and more people are seeing this, we can combat it--not with tanks and bombs and rifles alone, but with our words, voices and votes.
We must actively combat the Islamification of America. Sharia and jihad are wholly incompatible with the Constitution. Islam is a political movement hiding beneath the cover of freedom of religion. When a "religion" itself is not free, it is no longer a religion and no longer enjoys the protections the Constitution affords.
Spread the word.
Just to clear the air:
I’m a MAGA conservative, but that doesn’t mean what a lot of you apparently think it does. Let’s break it down, because I’m tired of being told what I believe and what I stand for.
Spoiler: not every conservative is the same, but most of us I know share these same principles.
1. I believe America should never depend on another country for energy, protection, or basic supply and demand. We are strongest when we build, produce, and protect things right here in the USA.
2. I believe America must put itself first. We cannot pour from an empty cup. Our country should prioritize our own people before trying to save the world.
3. I believe only legal citizens have the right to vote. You must have a valid ID to vote. I also believe in a secure election process.
4. I believe no foreign aid should be given until every veteran at home is taken care of.
5. I believe immigrants make America stronger — when they come legally. If your first act in this country is breaking the law, you aren’t an upstanding citizen.
6. You can marry who you want. I may not agree with your lifestyle, but your life is not mine to judge, I leave that to God Almighty. That being said, I am a Christian and suggest everyone read and follow God's word.
7. I believe men are men and women are women. Surgery or hormone don’t change that. Men should use men’s bathrooms, and women should use women’s bathrooms.
8. I believe schools are for education, not indoctrination. Kids should learn math, history, reading, and science - not political propaganda. They should not be taught they were “born in the wrong body” or pushed into gender delusion.
9. I believe America is in a mental health crisis. Mental health care is real, it matters, and it desperately needs to be addressed.
10. I believe guns aren’t the problem - people are. Gun control only infringes on constitutional rights. But I also believe in common sense: background checks are necessary to keep firearms out of the hands of the mentally ill.
I’m a conservative because I believe in faith, family, freedom, and personal responsibility. I don’t want a government that controls every aspect of our lives - I want a government that protects our rights, secures our borders, defends our freedoms, and then gets out of the way.
We are strongest when Americans take care of America first, when families are supported, when our veterans are honored, and when our children are given truth, not propaganda.
I love this country, and I believe it’s worth fighting for.
Men don’t form a support group every time one of them kills his kids and blame it on testosterone.
Women will watch a mother send her husband out for takeout, strangle her 5-year-old, 3-year-old, and 8-month-old baby with exercise bands, then flood the comments with “hormones,” “postpartum,” and “I am Lindsay Clancy.”
We’ve spent years telling the world our hormones don’t make us unstable, unfit, or incapable. Now y’all are out here arguing they might just make you murder your children.
Congratulations. You just handed every critic the exact talking point we spent decades trying to kill.
Mental health is real. Support for new moms is real.
Strangling three babies is still evil.
Lindsay Clancy had doctors, prescriptions, therapy, a nanny, and a plan.
She is not the face of “no one helped her.”
She’s the woman who killed her kids. She is evil.
With the passing of Dolly Parton and Tim Curry, I keep seeing people talk about other celebrities that we need to bubble wrap and protect but if we’re being real about who need s that right now, it’s Mel Brooks! That man is 100 years old and working on making Spaceballs 2 for us.
@SydneyLWatson Same! As an RN I was pressured daily but stood my ground. I put a red A on my name badge at work because of how much ridicule those of us who chose not to get the vaccine dealt with.
With Fauci essentially taping his mouth shut during his hearing, now would be a great time for @RandPaul to hold a follow up hearing with all the doctors that were censored and slandered for speaking out against Fauci’s protocols during COVID. Let America finally hear them. They didn’t hold back then and they won’t hold back now.
In the past 24 hours, around 60,000 Muslim "migrants" from Morocco have INVADED Spain.
Do not let the media fool you. These are criminals and their culture is incompatible with Western civilization. These are all military-age men breaking into homes, looting businesses, setting vehicles on fire, and clashing with police.
This is only the start. If we do not drop the mindset of being too afraid of being called Islamophobic or racist, this will happen everywhere.
This is not immigration. This is an invasion.
