🚨Today, I issued the following statement with @A1Policy regarding the ongoing government closure caused by liberals in Congress. This is totally unacceptable behavior and unfair to the American public.
“Farmers and ranchers, those who feed and clothe our great nation and world, don't just get to shut down, so neither should the taxpayer-funded federal government. Key disaster assistance, rural development activities, agricultural research, and trade negotiations, including those advancing new markets for farmers, are grinding to a halt.
Instead, bad actors in Congress are holding these activities crucial to rural America hostage over radical Obamacare handouts they forced through during COVID with no bipartisan support. These so-called ‘subsidies’ cost taxpayers billions, are riddled with waste and fraud, and do nothing to lower Americans’ healthcare bills. Shutting down the government over such policies is reckless—and all Americans, including rural Americans, are paying the price.”

🚜 Family farms feed America—but they’re under threat.
86% of U.S. farms are small family farms. They are the backbone of our food supply and the heart of our heritage. In New Jersey, nearly 10,000 farms work 700,000+ acres of land—including the Henry family farm, rooted in cranberry production since 1850. 🌱
Now, government overreach and misuse of eminent domain threaten to rip these farms away from the families who’ve stewarded them for generations. That’s not just a property rights issue—it’s a food security crisis.
We must stand with farmers, not bureaucracy. Protect farmland. Protect freedom. Protect America. 🇺🇸
The average person today lives better than kings and queens throughout most of human history.
Poverty is the natural state of man.
It is prosperity that is unnatural, which is why it’s important to know how to build it.
And by the way, Africans had free markets way before Europeans set foot on the continent.
Free market capitalism (often confused with cronyism) is the most effective way to build prosperity at scale.
Because the modern Left isn't guided by principles - it's driven by resentment, self-loathing, and a twisted obsession with victimhood politics. They don't love Islamists because of shared values - they love them because they view them as a battering ram against Western civilisation.
Christians, Jews, and Hindus represent stability, tradition, family, faith, and nationhood - everything the radical Left despises. These religions are rooted in heritage and identity, which the Left sees as oppressive relics of a "colonialist" past. They view practicing Christians and Jews not as people of faith, but as power-holders to be dismantled. And Hindus? They're a problem because they don't play the victim - they succeed, integrate, and hold conservative social values.
Islamists, on the other hand, are wrapped in the Left's favourite cloak: "oppressed minority." Never mind the misogyny, the homophobia, the anti-Semitism, the intolerance - if it comes from a group that can be framed as a "victim" of Western power, the Left will bend over backwards to defend it.
It's not love - it's utility. Islamists hate the West. So does the Left. That makes them temporary allies. And in their deluded minds, once Western civilisation is broken down, they'll deal with the Islamists later. But history says otherwise.
You can't make a deal with a religious-political ideology that believes in total submission. The Left is feeding a beast they don't understand - and it will devour them too. But not before it's done tearing apart the very civilisation they were too cowardly to defend.
"The left is feeding a beast..."

Why don’t more young Americans love America?
Because too many have never been taught what makes this nation great. 📚
That’s why AFPI joined Secretary of Education Linda McMahon in launching the America First Civics Coalition with Turning Point USA, Hillsdale College, and others—to reignite pride, teach our history, and restore civic knowledge for the next generation.
👉 This is more than education. It’s about preserving freedom.
