I've met women who are beautiful, intelligent, successful, athletic, and genuinely passionate about their own lives.
They have careers they're proud of, goals they're working toward, hobbies they enjoy, and a strong sense of who they are.
And you know what I've noticed?
They're often some of the most supportive people you'll ever meet.
They celebrate your wins instead of competing with them.
They encourage your growth instead of resenting it.
They give credit where it's due instead of trying to tear people down behind their backs.
They're not constantly looking for reasons to be offended, jealous, or threatened.
Why?
Because secure people don't see someone else's success as a loss for themselves.
When you're focused on building your own life, you don't have the time or energy to obsess over what everyone else is doing.
Confidence isn't loud.
It isn't arrogant.
It doesn't need to diminish others to feel important.
The people who are truly secure in themselves tend to be the ones who clap the loudest when others succeed.
They're too busy creating a meaningful life of their own to waste time trying to destroy someone else's.

Did you know that a newborn baby really can’t regulate their nervous system on their own?
Their little nervous system is still so immature. When they’re tired, uncomfortable, startled, overstimulated, or just overwhelmed, they don’t know how to calm themselves down yet. They need us to help them do that. It’s called co-regulation.
It’s why a baby can be crying one minute and completely peaceful the second you pull them close. They hear your heartbeat, feel your warmth and your arms around them, recognize your voice and smell, and their little body begins to settle.
They aren’t crying thinking, “I’m going to keep this up until someone picks me up.” They aren’t manipulating us. They’re communicating the only way they know how. Sometimes they stop crying almost instantly when they’re picked up because they needed something they couldn’t give themselves.
Maybe that’s why these moments are so incredibly precious to me. I could stare at this sweet face forever and hold this little one against my chest, listening to those tiny breaths. There’s something so beautiful about knowing that simply being close can make his whole world feel safe.
And I can’t help but think about Jesus.
How often do we exhaust ourselves trying to calm our own fears, carry our own burdens, quiet our minds, and figure everything out on our own, when the truth is we were never meant to live independently of Him at all.
This baby doesn’t understand nervous systems or co-regulation. He doesn’t understand why being held settles him. He just knows where he feels safe. But the beautiful thing is, his dependence on me doesn’t begin when he starts crying. He is dependent on me when he’s crying, when he’s sleeping peacefully, when he’s hungry, and when he’s perfectly content. Whether he realizes his need or not, he is completely dependent.
And maybe there’s something for us to learn in that too.
Our dependence on Jesus isn’t reserved for the moments when life becomes too much or when we’ve run out of answers. We are dependent on Him for everything, every moment, every breath. We don’t come to Him because we finally reached the end of what we can do ourselves. We remain close because apart from Him, we were never meant to do any of it on our own.
Just like this sweet baby doesn’t have to understand what is happening inside his little body to rest in the arms holding him, we don’t have to understand everything God is doing to remain close to Him.
“Remain in me, and I in you. Just as a branch is unable to produce fruit by itself unless it remains on the vine, neither can you unless you remain in me.”
John 15:4
I argue against Christian Nationalism and Integralism every day on here because I do not believe Christ gave the civil government authority to coerce faith, rule the conscience, or build the Kingdom of God through political power.
But the opposite extreme is not biblical either. I hate seeing people telling other Christians not to be involved in the political process. Not to be politically active in making decisions that will impact your family and your children and your neighbors.
Christians don’t get to look at injustice, destructive ideas, corrupt government, or movements that harm their neighbors and say, “None of this matters because Jesus is coming back.”
That’s surrender. That is literally giving up and saying I’m not even going to try to fight evil because Christ is coming back to save me. Well, what about everybody else around you?
We are told to seek the welfare of the city where God has placed us (Jer. 29:7), to be salt and light in the world (Matt. 5:13–16), to speak for those who cannot speak for themselves (Prov. 31:8–9), to do good whenever we have the opportunity (Gal. 6:10), and that knowing the good we ought to do and refusing to do it is itself sin (James 4:17).
Paul used his Roman citizenship when government violated his rights. He challenged unlawful treatment. He appealed to Caesar. John the Baptist confronted Herod. Daniel served inside pagan government. Esther used political access to save lives.
None of them confused earthly government with the Kingdom of God.
We don’t idolize or worship politics. We only idolize and worship God.
But don’t confuse being politically literate and engaged with worship.
When I hear a Christian say that you can’t change the culture and you can’t do anything anyway so just sit at home… I wonder where in scripture they got this idea. Because when I read scripture, I see the opposite.
The government will never manufacture Christians.
That doesn’t mean surrender government, law, culture, education, or civil society to whatever ideology happens to be most willing to occupy them.
America is not the Kingdom of God.
But that does not mean Christians have no responsibility for what happens to their neighbors here.
I would argue the opposite is true.
Your job is to figure out how to be politically active without worshiping politics. I think people conflate those two things on purpose.
You can’t complain about anything that’s happening in this country if you’re not going to get up and vote.
There are Christians in other countries were being killed for having a Bible. Ans people don’t realize how lucky we are in this country and so they think that they can just like take it for granted.
Christian’s make up like 66% of this country. If every single one of them read their Bible and GOT involved, abortion would no longer be a thing in America.
Apathy and disengagement is just as bad as authoritarianism. Because who’s going to stop the authoritarians if you’re completely disengaged?
🚨RFK JR JUST DROPPED THE QUIET PART OUT LOUD
CDC threw out the only study that actually tested a vaccine for autism.
The DTP shot.
That study found the link.
They buried it.
Then kept injecting our babies anyway.
RFK Jr lays it out cold: NONE of the childhood vaccines were ever properly tested for autism. The sole one that was — DTP — showed the connection. CDC discarded the results and moved on like nothing happened.
They knew.
They covered it.
And an entire generation paid the price while the machine kept rolling.
This isn’t theory. This is the HHS Secretary saying the quiet part on camera.
The old playbook is finished. MAHA is here. The cover-up is over.
Patriots, this is why we never stop.
They told us immigrants were doctors and engineers - they weren’t.
They told us immigrants were refugees and evacuees - they weren’t.
They told us immigrants were women and children - they’re not.
It’s been lie after lie upon lie.
Jezebel was a Phoenician princess who married Ahab, king of Israel, and brought the worship of Baal with her.
She led God’s people into idolatry (1 Kings 16:31–33). She killed the Lord’s prophets and hunted Elijah (1 Kings 18–19). She used deception and abuse of power to destroy an innocent man, forging letters in the king’s name and arranging false witnesses to have Naboth executed for his vineyard (1 Kings 21). And she dominated a weak king who stood by and let her do it.
Elijah prophesied that dogs would devour her (1 Kings 21:23). And in 2 Kings 9 it happens. She is thrown from a window, trampled, and eaten by dogs.
But her name makes it into the New Testament, when Jesus rebukes the church in Thyatira for tolerating “that woman Jezebel” who calls herself a prophetess and leads believers into immorality and idolatry (Revelation 2:20).
Why? Because the story of Jezebel is about a pattern. An era. False authority that infiltrates from within, seduces God’s people away from truth, silences genuine voices (the prophets), manufactures lies (the sealed letters, the false witnesses, the legal proceeding), and thrives wherever those who can stop her are passive.
What Jezebel represents is so important that we are warned about it by Christ in Revelation. And the warning isn’t aimed at the Jezebel or the deceiver. It’s aimed at those who tolerate the deceptions.
We live in a time when influential voices build massive followings by mixing truth with fabrication, by destroying innocent people’s reputations with nothing more than vibes. They get rich from it. And audiences and institutions tolerate it because confrontation is costly.
By the time of Revelation, Jezebel had been dead for roughly 900 years. Jesus wasn’t confused about the timeline. He took a dead queen’s name and applied it to a living deception, because Jezebel had become a spirit that recurs. An era.
And the Jezebel era is easy to spot if you read Kings.
Truth is inverted. Baal was enthroned where Yahweh belonged. Isaiah 5:20 describes this: calling evil good and good evil, darkness light and light darkness.
The truth-tellers are attacked relentlessly. The prophets were killed or driven into caves, and even Elijah ends up under the broom tree wanting to die, convinced he is the only one left. A Jezebel era doesn’t just spread lies. It demoralizes the truth-tellers until they become silent.
Those in power are too passive. Ahab knew, and did nothing to stop her. The era isn’t sustained by the deceiver alone but by everyone with authority who finds it easier to look away, or by anyone who has the power to push back and doesn’t.
But God always keeps a remnant.
Seven thousand who did not bow the knee to Baal (1 Kings 19:18).
Because Jezebel eras don’t get reformed. They get overthrown. And as we learn in Revelation, the time to repent is given, and then it runs out.
Well we are in the Jezebel era. And the only way out is through. That’s why people have to fight for truth, judge those they listen to by the fruits those people produce, pray for and exercise discernment, and be the remnant.
Not Ahab.
“Spread the wealth” progressives show themselves to be total liars by their silence on Michael Dell’s generosity. Here you have a billionaire voluntarily redistributing his wealth to America’s children—but because it wasn’t done at gunpoint the socialists don’t like it
Two hundred and fifty years ago today, fifty-six men signed their own death warrants.
That is not a metaphor.
Putting your name to the Declaration of Independence was treason against the Crown.
The penalty for treason was the rope.
Every man who signed knew that if the revolution failed, his signature was the evidence that would hang him.
They signed anyway.
These were not desperate men with nothing to lose.
They were lawyers, merchants, planters, and physicians.
Men with land, money, families, and comfortable lives.
They had everything to lose, and they wrote their names down anyway, in ink, where the King could read every one.
Then the war came for them.
Richard Stockton of New Jersey was dragged from his home and thrown in a British prison.
He came out with his health broken and never truly recovered.
Carter Braxton of Virginia watched the British navy sweep his ships from the sea, and much of his fortune went with them.
John Hart was driven from the bedside of his dying wife.
His fields were burned, his mill destroyed, his children scattered into hiding.
He spent more than a year sleeping in forests and caves while soldiers hunted him.
He came home to a fresh grave and an empty house.
That was the cost.
Not a slogan. Not a parade. The actual price, paid by actual men, with their homes and their families and their names.
They closed that document with a single line.
They pledged to each other their Lives, their Fortunes, and their sacred Honor.
And every one of them was asked to make good on all three.
Two hundred and fifty years later, we are still free because they were not afraid.
Happy Independence Day.
Spend it like it was expensive.
Because it was.

You actually made a philosophical case for why no one should ever trust a leftist.
When the wealth tax shtick started, it was sold as a billionaire tax. People like me warned it wouldn’t end there. Now you’re already pushing a new yearly tax on millionaires too.
It’ll never end because tax income isn’t the problem and it never has been. The problem we’ve had for a long time is a spending problem.
Government has habitually spent our money like drunken sailors. Instead of hookers and booze though, the government has traditionally enjoyed spending lots of it on something even more grotesque: Bureaucracy via a permanent leftist managerial class, corrupt contractors who charge $151,000 to ship each screw (a real thing that happened) and corrupt leftist NGO’s, who are staffed by people who fund your campaigns.
If the government was a business it would be foreclosed on and books would be written about what an incompetent disaster it was at creating or acquiring value. There’d be classes on the historic levels of fraud it enabled and the business execs (politicians) would largely end up in jail.
But the rules are (D)ifferent for leftists. When one scheme fails, they just make shit up and pretend that a new theft scheme (tax) will solve it! The real problem is in the mirror though. Sane people want your hands out of our wallets and the government to shrink by a historic margin.
There’s NOTHING government does better than private enterprise. As to the few arguments you may try to use to dispel that: SpaceX laps NASA, FedEx/UPS both lap USPS (they also turn a profit while USPS loses $) and private school + homeschool beat public by every metric.
When some private business sucks we have options. This forces everyone to better. When the DMV sucks, you just have to deal with it because the government is the only show in town and has no incentive to be excellent.
So no. No new taxes. Your ilk and institutions are breaking this country. Sane people will fight like hell to save it.
This @nytimes op-ed completely misses the point on the purpose of marriage and children and completely misrepresents my views in the process. The entire article is laced with viewing family through the lens of money and career as if those things bring fulfillment and purpose. When you’re on your death bed, your money and your career won’t be whispering in your ear “I love you” as you take your last breath. The material goods and fortune of this world mean nothing when we go to our eternal resting place.
The author also conveniently leaves out the part of my Hillsdale commencement speech where I said “marry young, not rushed, but young.”
We serve a God of order and when you live a life ordered there’s a double portion of grace. Meaning marriage first, then kids, and everything else. Timing matters because life is shorter than you might think, and you never know what could happen. The point is, don’t put it off. Don’t rush it or force it if it’s not right, but don’t put it off.
I say this from a place of personal reflection. My marriage with Charlie and our babies are the biggest blessings of my life. I was 32 when I married Charlie, which in my mind is neither young to start a family or old. You just run up against statistics at that point and it just so happened to be the Lord’s timing and He still blessed us with two beautiful children. But I wish we met and were able to start our life and family together much sooner.
There is no such thing as perfect timing to have kids. Financial struggles are a part of life, but the problem is a lot of Americans are self-surviving, not self-sacrificing, and they expect to live a very distinct lifestyle based on what they see online. When Charlie encouraged young people to have more kids than they can afford, he wasn’t saying to recklessly bring a child into this world and have them on welfare. He was saying children aren’t a luxury item to have once you meet a certain tax bracket threshold. You don’t need a mansion in order to build a family.
It’s easy when you’re young to think that you have all the time in the world, but it’s a hard fact of life and science that that’s simply not the case. If you've met your person and you’re checking off boxes based on societal expectations of dating for a couple years, then a long engagement, then adjusting to married life before having children, you’re wasting valuable time. Getting pregnant in your late 30s and 40s is usually a lot harder than in your late 20s. Not always, but it’s a hard reality for many couples.
The inverted priorities of our current culture encourages women to believe that getting married and having children are weights on an otherwise rich and carefree existence. And yet, young Americans have never felt less happy or carefree. Children are not an obstacle, they're a gift from the Lord. They give life so much more meaning than you could ever imagine. When we stop looking at marriage and children as barriers to a happy life, maybe then there’ll be progress in this country.
“The fraud is not real”
Today: 455 fraudsters charged, $6.5 billion exposed
*silent*
Society will never improve until people and the media can look at issues with a logical perspective of: Is this right or wrong to be happening?
EXPOSE IT ALL
161 years ago, Republican President Abraham Lincoln and a Republican Congress freed the slaves from the Democrat Party that fought tooth and nail to keep them in chains.
Democrats started the Civil War to preserve slavery. Democrats founded the KKK. Democrats passed Jim Crow laws. Democrats filibustered the Civil Rights Act.
Today if you are celebrating Juneteenth, don’t forget to thank Republicans!
🚨 HOLY SMOKES. Governor candidate Steve Hilton just revealed the stunning reality of California fraud: They ALLOW mail-in ballots to BACKDATE by HAND so they can be counted late, and not invalid
"It's NOT just the postmark. YOU CAN HAND-WRITE THE DATE!"
"Just to be really clear: you can BACKDATE YOUR BALLOT."
"BY HAND."
"And it will be counted."
"That's how insane this system is."
This is MADNESS!! 🤯
BILLY BUSH: "That is OUTRAGEOUS."

Spencer Pratt (@spencerpratt) needs to tell his voters to check their ballot status and file a complaint if it hasn't been received yet.
MANY people who voted for Spencer are finding out their ballots haven't been received.

Hey @Tim_Walz and @IlhanMN one of the biggest fraud bust in Minnesota history took place this week and you guys said nothing
Shouldn’t you guys celebrate when fraud is exposed in your state and district?
Or are you upset because it was exposed? Silence speaks volumes.
Western Civilization didn't flourish because "white males" stopped other groups from succeeding.
The West thrived because of rational thought, individual rights, and free enterprise.
"White males" that invented the steam engine, electric generation, the combustion engine, flight, and space exploration did not do so because they "stole" the ideas of minorities.
These inventions helped lift mankind out of ignorance and hardship, improving the quality of life for all of humanity.
"White males" didn't oppress the entire world, they helped make it a better place.
"White males" didn't oppress everyone's rights, they invented the idea of rights and paid in blood to liberate tens of millions of people.
"White males" didn't invent slavery, they ended it.
"White males" didn't invent tyranny, they devised a form of government to end it.
Destroying Western Civilization isn't about empowering groups that were "oppressed." It is about tearing down civilization itself so that globalist parasites can rule over all of us.

Et si tu lis ça en pensant "ça ne me concerne pas, je ne suis pas milliardaire", arrête-toi deux secondes et réfléchis vraiment.
Parce que c'est exactement ce que se sont dit les paysans russes en 1918 quand on a commencé à parler des "bourgeois". Ils ont applaudi, ou ils ont détourné le regard. Ce n'était pas leur problème. Eux, ils n'étaient pas riches.
Dix ans plus tard, on les a appelés koulaks. Et "koulak", dans la pratique stalinienne, ça désignait n'importe quel paysan qui possédait une vache de plus que son voisin, qui avait osé embaucher un saisonnier, qui avait une grange un peu mieux entretenue. 4 millions déportés. Plusieurs millions morts.
C'est exactement ce que se sont dit les petits commerçants chinois en 1949, quand Mao s'en prenait aux "grands propriétaires terriens". Pas leur problème. Eux, ils tenaient juste une échoppe. Cinq ans plus tard, ils étaient classés "ennemis de classe" eux aussi, dépouillés, humiliés en séance publique, parfois battus à mort par leurs propres voisins.
C'est exactement ce que se sont dit les instituteurs cambodgiens en 1970, quand les Khmers rouges parlaient des "exploiteurs urbains". Pas leur problème. Ils gagnaient à peine de quoi vivre. En 1975, savoir lire suffisait à signer ton arrêt de mort.
Le mécanisme communiste ne s'arrête JAMAIS aux ultra-riches. Jamais. C'est une loi historique aussi solide que la gravité.
Pourquoi ? Parce que fondamentalement, le communiste ne déteste pas la richesse. Il déteste l'émancipation individuelle. Il déteste l'idée même qu'un homme puisse construire quelque chose qui lui appartienne, décider de sa vie, refuser le collectif. La propriété privée n'est pas un détail économique pour lui, c'est l'ennemi métaphysique. Parce que quelqu'un qui possède est quelqu'un qui peut dire non.
Donc si tu as un appart que tu as mis 15 ans à payer, tu es concerné. Si tu as un petit business, une boutique, une auto-entreprise, tu es concerné. Si tu as un PEL, un livret, des actions, tu es concerné. Si tu as une maison de famille en province, tu es concerné. Si tu travailles dur pour transmettre quelque chose à tes enfants, tu es au premier rang des prochaines listes.
Les milliardaires sont juste les premiers. Toujours. Parce qu'ils sont peu nombreux et faciles à désigner. Ce sont les amuse-bouches de la machine. Le plat principal, historiquement, c'est toi.
Et pendant ce temps, beaucoup de gens lisent ce genre de threads, hochent la tête, et ne partagent pas. Ne commentent pas. Ne prennent pas position. Par peur d'être catalogués "de droite", "réacs", "trop politiques sur LinkedIn". Par confort. Par lâcheté sociale.
Sache que ce silence a un coût historique précis. À chaque fois qu'une société a basculé dans ce délire, elle l'a fait parce que la majorité raisonnable s'est tue trop longtemps en pensant que ça allait passer tout seul.
Ça ne passe jamais tout seul.
