Today, Congresswoman @Kat_Cammack joined us on our #Bidenomics is bad economics tour with @AFPFlorida to give folks in the Ocala, FL area some financial relief at the pump as we lowered the price of gas down to $1 a gallon!

🚨 STEPHEN A. SMITH NAILED IT PERFECTLY:

CALLER: Some of MAGA are mentally ill

SMITH: "Nope, nope, nope, don't talk to ME about mental illness on the side of the right — but you have people talking about transgender without parental consent!"

"And men transitioning to women and playing in women's sports, and thinking that that was OK!"

"And people could be incarcerated and they could have s*x changes and stuff like that. Oh, no, no, no!"

"You don't get to sit up there and just point to the right about that and not act like there wasn't craziness on the left too."

"[Democrats are] turning your back on black folks who supported you since the 60s. Don't get me started with all of that!"

"The extreme left is a DAMN PROBLEM! That's why 77 million people said Donald Trump is closer to normalcy than some of those folks!" 🔥

Biden’s administration wiped out $3.8 billion in stockholder equity and killed Spirit Airlines by claiming a merger with JetBlue would violate antitrust law. Instead Spirit went bankrupt twice and no longer exists. Now consumers will pay more for flights.

Come again? This FBI and DOJ with our DHS partners drafted and executed every search warrant today. But go ahead and take credit for our work while we smoke out the fraud plaguing Minnesota under your governorship.

Kimmel’s hateful and violent rhetoric is intended to divide our country. His monologue about my family isn’t comedy- his words are corrosive and deepens the political sickness within America.

People like Kimmel shouldn’t have the opportunity to enter our homes each evening to spread hate.

A coward, Kimmel hides behind ABC because he knows the network will keep running cover to protect him.

Enough is enough.  It is time for ABC to take a stand.  How many times will ABC’s leadership enable Kimmel’s atrocious behavior at the expense of our community.

[Bishop Robert Barron @BishopBarron]

There is a way past the absurd and deeply divisive “war” between the President and the Pope, which has been enthusiastically ginned up by the press. And it is indicated in the Catechism of the Catholic Church, paragraph 2309 to be precise. After laying out the various criteria for determining a just war—proportionality, last resort, declaration by a competent authority, reasonable hope of success, etc.—the Catechism points out that “the evaluation of these conditions for moral legitimacy belongs to the prudential judgment of those who have responsibility for the common good.” The assumption is that the just war principles function, to use the technical term, as heuristic devices, designed to guide the practical decision-making of those civil authorities who have to adjudicate matters of war and peace.

The role of the Church, therefore, is to call for peace and to urge that any conflict be strictly circumscribed by the moral constraints of the just war criteria. But it is not the role of the Church to evaluate whether a particular war is just or unjust. That appraisal belongs to the civil authorities, who, one presumes, have requisite knowledge of conditions on the ground. So, is the war in question truly the last resort? Is there really a balance between the good to be attained and the destruction caused by the war? Are combatants and non-combatants being properly distinguished in the waging of the conflict? Do the belligerents have right intention? Is there a reasonable hope of success? The posing of those questions—indeed the insistence upon their moral relevance—belongs rightly to the Church, but the answering of them belongs to the civil authorities.

The Pope has said, on numerous occasions, that he is not a politician and that his role is not the determination of any nation's foreign policy. But he has just as clearly said that he will continue to speak for peace and for moral constraint. In making both of these claims, he is operating perfectly within the framework of paragraph 2309 of the Catechism. If we understand that the Pope and the President have qualitatively different roles to play in the determination of moral action in regard to war, we can, I hope, extricate ourselves from the completely unhelpful narrative of “Pope vs. President.”

Trump says Iran either gives up their uranium or we take it. I’m betting we take it. Which the leaders of Iran may prefer. If they turn it over voluntarily they will look too weak in their country.

Below is a statement that my brother bishop, @BishopBarron – a colleague on the Presidential Commission on Religious Liberty –recently issued. His comments are characteristically clear, and I agree wholeheartedly.

[Bishop Robert Barron @BishopBarron]

Over the past several weeks, Carrie Prejean Boller has complained that she was removed from the Presidential Commission on Religious Liberty because of her Catholic beliefs, and she has called out myself and other Catholic members of the commission for not defending her. This is absurd. Mrs. Prejean Boller was not dismissed for her religious convictions but rather for her behavior at a gathering of the Commission last month: browbeating witnesses, aggressively asserting her point of view, hijacking the meeting for her own political purposes. The Catholic position on matters of “Zionism,” to which I fully subscribe, is as follows: all forms of antisemitism are to be unequivocally condemned; the state of Israel has a right to exist; but the modern nation of Israel does not represent the fulfillment of Biblical prophecies and hence does not stand beyond criticism. If Mrs. Prejean Boller were dismissed for holding these beliefs, it is difficult to understand why I am still a member of the Commission. To paint herself as a victim of anti-Catholic prejudice or to claim that her religious liberty has been denied is simply preposterous.

@ABCNetwork Please bring back #HoleyMoley! It was so fun and lighthearted, which we sorely need right now. Pleeeeeeease.

@PatHarriganNC I agree 100%

[Pat Harrigan @PatHarriganNC]

What happened in Huntersville is deeply disturbing. Shots fired at a candidate’s home, with his wife and young children inside, is something no family should ever have to experience.

During my own campaign, a bullet was fired into my family’s home while my kids were there. It drives home how quickly political tension can turn into something far more serious and far more dangerous.

Whoever did this must be identified and held accountable. We can argue policy, we can campaign hard, but once violence enters the equation, it threatens more than a race, it threatens the foundation of a free and orderly political system.

New images in the search for Nancy Guthrie:

Over the last eight days, the FBI and Pima County Sheriff’s Department have been working closely with our private sector partners to continue to recover any images or video footage from Nancy Guthrie’s home that may have been lost, corrupted, or inaccessible due to a variety of factors - including the removal of recording devices. The video was recovered from residual data located in backend systems.

Working with our partners - as of this morning, law enforcement has uncovered these previously inaccessible new images showing an armed individual appearing to have tampered with the camera at Nancy Guthrie's front door the morning of her disappearance.

Anyone with information, please contact 1-800-CALL-FBI or visit https://t.co/m55w5cqC7Y

The NFL going from huge numbers of players kneeling for the anthem to every player standing for the anthem while the announcer honors the 250th anniversary of the country is a hell of a vibe shift.

[Matt C. Curran @RealMattCCurran]
