‼️Woman travels to Six Flags with a group of 10 and gets mad that her entire group can’t kick other riders off the rides just so they can all ride together. Another sad case of “me and my people are special and deserve privileges everyone else doesn’t get.

Sean Hannity: “Do you think he was President Trump’s closest friend in all of Congress?”

Senator Ted Cruz: “Yes. Hands down. We sort of jokingly called him the ‘Trump whisperer.’”

THIS is Philadelphia, USA. Reminds me of walking the streets of. Mogadishu. Wake up, America!

[Dr Charlie Ward @DrcharlieWardQ]

Reporter: “Has Secretary Hegseth told you why he hasn't released the video of the second strike?”

President Trump: “No, he hasn't told me. I thought that issue was dead. I'm surprised you bring it up. You must be CNN. Are you with CNN?”

Reporter: “I am with CNN.”

President Trump: “Oh gee, I’m shocked to find that out.”

Reporter: “The lawmakers are still talking about it on the hill.”

President Trump: “You’re talking about Democrats? You mean the people you work for? The Democrats. You know you work for the Democrats... You’re basically an arm of the Democrat Party.”

The important news you can expect from CNN.

[FBI Director Kash Patel @FBIDirectorKash]

FBI is investigating and offering full resources to the Rapides Parish Sheriff’s Office and our brave partners the @USMarshalsHQ after one of their deputies was tragically killed today while serving an arrest warrant in Alexandria, Louisiana. Suspect is in custody. Please pray for the deputy’s family and friends.

A black family was killed yesterday in IL

BLM won't say a word about it because their 2 killers are black

A bit weird, don’t you think?

As soon as Muslims started moving to Japan, its Shinto shrines and Buddhist temples started burning down, just like the churches in Europe.

🚨 INFURIATING: Democrat KY Gov. Andy Beshear is REFUSING to stop issuing driver licenses to illegals driving MULTI-TON TRUCKS with NO ABILITY to speak basic English

INNOCENT AMERICANS ARE DYlNG.

BLOOD IS ON YOUR HANDS, @AndyBeshearKY

This guy wants to be elected PRESIDENT in 2028. CAN’T HAPPEN!

[The Conservative Alternative @OldeWorldOrder]

CHARLIE KIRK: "Trump is the bodyguard of Western civilization."

[QUANTUM GUARD ™️ @QuantumGuard17]

🚨 HOLY CRAP. The governor of "RED" Kentucky, Andy Beshear (D), just proclaimed his full and unwavering support for mutilating kids' private parts!

He said he'll defend it, "REGARDLESS of how it polls in Kentucky."

Flip red, Kentucky. This is INSANE.

[Clay Travis @ClayTravis]

Who at Netflix decided we’re going to make Elle Duncan the face and voice of Netflix Sports? And how does that person still have a job? Legit they have all the money in the world and this was their pick. It’s like giving Davis Mills a $200 million contract.

I left Alabama. I am in Georgia now.

At 3 a.m. I saw a yellow sign glowing beside the highway.

Waffle House.

I went in. The parking lot was full. At 3 a.m.

I asked the waitress when they close.

She looked at me the way you look at a child who has asked when gravity ends.

She said, "We don't close, baby."

Two things happened in that sentence.

One: I learned Waffle House has never closed. Not at night. Not on Christmas. Not during hurricanes.

Two: she called me "baby."

I am a grown man. I have a mortgage. It repaired something in me I did not know was broken.

I ordered hash browns.

She said, "Scattered, smothered, covered, chunked, diced, peppered, capped, or topped?"

I did not understand a single word in that sentence.

I said, "Yes."

She nodded and wrote it down. Apparently that was a correct answer.

Then I learned something, and I need you to know I did not invent this.

The United States government measures the strength of hurricanes by whether the Waffle House is open.

Open: the storm is fine.

Limited menu: the storm is serious.

Closed: evacuate. It is over.

This is called the Waffle House Index. FEMA uses it. FEMA. The disaster agency.

Japan built earthquake satellites. America watches a diner.

Both systems work.

At 3 a.m., the Waffle House contained: two truck drivers. A nurse still in scrubs. Four teenagers in prom clothes. One man who had clearly made several mistakes that evening. And one Japanese man with a notebook.

Nobody asked anybody why they were there.

At Waffle House, being there is the answer.

Then a man at the counter noticed my Alabama shirt. It was a gift. Long story.

He did not speak. He pointed at the shirt and shook his head slowly, the way you correct someone in church.

Then he said, quietly: "Go Dawgs."

I panicked and used the only word I own.

"Roll Tide."

Every fork in the building stopped.

The cook looked up from the eggs.

The waitress said, "Baby, no."

I understand now. Every state here has its own word. My word is from one state ago.

The man bought my waffle anyway.

He said, and I am quoting him exactly: "You didn't know. Bless your heart."

I have been told that phrase has two meanings.

I believe I received the gentle one.

I believe.

While eating Somali food - a Somali security guard recognized me. Immediately told me to leave and said "you want America? America is there" while pointing to the sidewalk

I am documenting 'Sharia in the South' which will be out tomorrow

American Eagle just proved once again they know exactly what their customers want.

Ella Langley was a brilliant choice. 🔥

Two years ago, President Trump survived the assassination attempt in Butler, Pennsylvania.

This is why we fight.
