All gave some. Some gave all.

On this Memorial Day, we’re remembering those who gave their last, full measure for the land of the free and the home of the brave… and the families who share their sacrifices.

Activist: "Your cows are putting carbon into the atmosphere."

Farmer: "Where did they get it?"

Activist: "What?"

Farmer: "The carbon. Where did the cow get it before it put it anywhere."

Activist: "From... eating?"

Farmer: "From eating grass. And where did the grass get it."

Activist: "The soil?"

Farmer: "The air. The grass pulled it out of the air last spring. The cow ate the grass. The cow breathed some of it back out. It went back into the air it came from."

Activist: "But it's still going into the atmosphere."

Farmer: "It's going back. There's a difference between a thing going somewhere and a thing going back. You've described a circle and you're frightened of it."

Activist: "Then just don't have the cow."

Farmer: "The grass still dies in autumn. It rots where it falls. The carbon goes back into the air either way, just without anyone getting fed in the middle."

Activist: "It's not that simple."

Farmer: "It's grass, cow, breath, grass. Or it's grass, rot, air, grass. Same circle, fewer dinners. If that's complicated for you I'd stay away from the water cycle. That one's got clouds in it."

Elon Musk just defended America better than every politician in Washington combined.

Musk: “After World War 2, the US could have basically taken over the world and any country. Like we got nukes, nobody else got nukes. We don’t even have to lose soldiers. Which country do you want?”

One nation on earth held a weapon nobody else had.

Total dominance. Zero competition. No risk of retaliation.

Every empire in history that held that kind of advantage used it.

Rome. The Mongols. The British. The Ottomans.

They conquered until they collapsed.

America had a bigger advantage than all of them combined.

And it rebuilt the countries it just defeated.

Musk: “The United States actually helped rebuild countries. So it helped rebuild Europe, it helped rebuild Japan. This is very unusual behavior, almost unprecedented.”

Almost unprecedented?

It had never happened before. Not once in 5,000 years of recorded history.

The Marshall Plan wasn’t foreign aid.

It was the most radical act of restraint any superpower ever committed.

America turned its enemies into allies. Turned rubble into economies. Turned surrender into partnership.

Germany went from ashes to the economic engine of Europe in a generation.

Japan went from unconditional surrender to the third largest economy on earth.

Three years after the war, America was flying food into Berlin.

A city in the heart of the nation that just tried to destroy it.

That’s not policy.

That’s a civilization deciding what it is at the exact moment it has the power to be anything.

You’re being told a story right now.

That America is the villain of history.

You hear it everywhere. Media. Universities. Social platforms.

Musk: “There’s always like, well America’s done bad things. Well of course America’s done bad things, but one needs to look at the whole track record.”

Every nation on earth has dark chapters. Every single one.

The difference is what a country does when nobody can stop it.

And when nobody could stop America, it fed its enemies and rebuilt their cities.

Musk: “The history of China suggests that China is not acquisitive. Meaning they’re not going to go out and invade a whole bunch of countries.”

Probably right.

China has historically built walls, not fleets.

But the real question isn’t about borders anymore.

We’re approaching a moment that mirrors 1945 in ways nobody has fully processed yet.

AI is going to give a handful of people a power advantage that makes nuclear monopoly look quaint.

If someone is going to hold that kind of power, who do you want it to be?

The country that conquered when it could? Or the one that rebuilt when it didn’t have to?

Every alliance. Every trade route. Every economy.

Billions lifted out of poverty.

All of it traces back to one act of restraint that had never been done before.

And carries no guarantee of being repeated.

The most powerful thing America ever did wasn’t building the bomb.

It was what it didn’t do after.

@CouchTaterAnlst @wesbury I note that this map looks similar to the GOP-drawn districts and corrects Democrat gerrymanders.

Take a look at FL & TX… they’re close to the newly redrawn districts. Look at CA, IL, and New England… they become far more balanced.

[Lee Zeldin @epaleezeldin]

Nothing infuriates an uninformed Congressional Dem more than when they realize they voluntarily triggered a debate with someone who actually knows what they are talking about, reads federal statute and adheres to Supreme Court precedent. Today’s self-implosion by @rosadelauro was quite remarkable to witness. Without apology or regret, I will always adhere to the best available reading of federal statute pursuant to the U.S. Supreme Court decision in Loper Bright.

🚨 WOW. California hospice leader Sheila Clark that Gavin Newsom's state has *BURRITO STANDS* marked as "certified" hospice facilities

"How do you put a hospice in a BURRITO stand?!"

"In a TIRE STORE?!"

"That all HAD to be vetted!"

Gavin MUST RESIGN

🚨 HOLY CRAP! Trump Interior Sec. Doug Burgum just revealed he found NGOs where up to 100% PERCENT of their revenue was the federal government...

...and their CEO would make $650K a YEAR, and pay lobbyists $400K.

He exposes it: "We found organizations that were receiving grants from Interior, where 80 to 100 percent of the revenue of that NGO was a grant from the federal government."

"And yet those organizations, we were the sole source of their revenue, but they would have a CEO making $650,000 and four $400,000 lobbyists!" @RapidResponse47

Dems are FURIOUS the Trump admin is cracking down on this!

Keep pushing!

[Patrick Yanke @PatrickYanke]

Without the Electoral College, ballot-stuffing in democrat-run cities would automatically give them the presidency. Their manufactured votes currently don’t go beyond state borders thanks to the wisdom of our Founding Fathers.

There's a moment in Empire Strikes Back that has stuck with me for many years. Luke is planning to leave Dagobah to rescue Han and Leia from Vader. He saw their suffering in a vision. Yoda points out that they were made to suffer precisely to lure Luke. Yoda tells him he must not go.

Luke: "And sacrifice Han and Leia?"
Yoda: "If you honor what they fight for? Yes."

I've heard some homilies recently at Mass that asked the question "if you could go back in time and stand in the crowd, would you ask for Barabbas or shout 'crucify Him'?" Would we seek to save Jesus or allow His execution?

Jesus didn't have anyone defending Him. His disciples had scattered--Peter denied he even knew the Lord.

There was one person, though, who could have made an appeal... and did not. His mother.

The Apostles had been with Jesus for his three-year ministry. Mary had been with Him for those three years and the 30 years leading up to them. The Apostles heard parables. She heard her Son. She pondered the things of God in her heart. She was there. She stood at the foot of the cross. Certainly, a mother could have petitioned the Chief Priests or Pilate for clemency. She did not.

As Jesus prayed for His Father's will to be done and not His own, could His mother pray anything else? We can see the depth of her faith in the testimony of St John the Evangelist. John took her into his home. He spent the most time with the one who spent the most time with Christ. His Gospel reads differently from the others... because of Mary.

We say that Mary suffered with Jesus because a mother's suffering for her children is powerful. Is it possible her appeal could have a made a difference and changed the situation? Yes. She suffered silently, though, so that the will of God may be done.

The cross is the reason Christ became man. All other things He did, He could have done without taking on human flesh. He could teach… He could feed… He could heal. The only thing He could not do was die. He took on mortality to suffer mortality's curse... for the mortals He loves.

When we attend Mass, we stand at the foot of the cross. That one sacrifice of Christ is not repeated, we share in it. In remembrance, we are made members of that particular moment in history. Would we want to take the man from the cross?

If we honor what he fought for? No.

Passion of The Christ🇻🇦🩸

“Mel Gibson warned actor Jim Caviezel that playing the character of Christ was going to be very difficult and that if he accepted, he most likely would be marginalized by Hollywood.

Caviezel asked for a day to think about it and his response to Mel who was funding and directing the movie was: "I think we have to make it, even if it is difficult." And something else, my initials are J.C., and I am 33 years old. "I didn't realize that until now."
Mel responded with “You're really scaring me you know.”

During filming, Jim Caviezel who plays the part of Jesus lost 45 pounds, he was struck by lightning, he was accidentally struck twice during the scourging scene leaving a deep 14-inch scar, he dislocated his shoulder when the cross was dropped into the hole with him on the cross. He then suffered pneumonia and hypothermia from being nearly naked with only a loin cloth on the cross for endless hours. The crucifixion scene alone took 5 weeks of the 2 months of shooting.

His body was so stressed and exhausted from playing the role that he had to undergo two open heart surgeries after the filming production.

Jim explained, “I didn’t want people to see me. I just want them to see Jesus. Conversions will happen through that.”

Almost like a clairvoyant prediction many amazing things happened.

Pedro Sarubbi, who played Barabbas, felt that it was not Caviezel who was looking at him, but Jesus Christ himself, as he played that role he said of Caviezel, “His eyes had no hatred or resentment towards me, only mercy and love."

Luca Lionello, the artist who played Judas, was an avowed atheist before shooting began. He eventually converted, and baptized his children.

One of the main technicians working on the film was a Muslim converted to Christianity.

Some producers said they saw actors dressed in white they didn’t recognize during one of the filming sessions, and when they reviewed the recordings they realized they couldn’t see them in that footage.

The Passion of the Christ is the highest grossing US religious as well as the highest R-rated film of all time, with $370.8 million! Worldwide, it grossed $611 million.

More importantly, it has reached 100’s of millions of people around the world.

Mel Gibson paid $30 million out of his own pocket for the production of the film because no studio would take on the project.

Today Jim Caviezel simply and boldly proclaims his faith in Christ, and the miracle it was for him to represent Christ as an actor and a greater believer of Christ because of this experience.

[Patrick Yanke @PatrickYanke]

We see in Christ crucified the greatest image of love imaginable. The one who is Love made us for communion with Him. He offers Himself as a sacrifice for our sins to bring us home.

We see Christ as the Son of God, Son of Man, King, Prophet, and Priest. Each of these identities is given a voice from the cross.
