I don’t chase trends.
I don’t ask permission.
I don’t shout for attention.

I document what’s real.
What endures.
What refuses to kneel.

Quiet resistance.
American eye.
Unbowed.

@AdrianneCurry @mattvanswol He’s supposed to be thinking with his big head not his little head.

@RyanHoliday Are you serious? Have you listened to your own bitching at conservatives videos and speeches.

Dude, you are so out of touch with reality.

@JustineBateman @Walmart @kroger If you have evidence of surge pricing in a store utilizing ESL bring it. I’ve seen none.

While theoretically it’s capable of it no retailer would engage in this practice and think they could survive the backlash from consumers. PR suicide.

[James @SwampFoxDefiant]

@jaxoncoder This post is crock of crap.

No evidence of surge pricing. It would be a PR nightmare for any retailer to engage in that practice.

@MarindaVannoy1 Just a circle jerk every 2-4 years.

Because of the swift action of Secret Service officers, an illegal alien possessing firearms that included a sub-machine gun, an assault rifle, and a pistol, was stopped in a stolen pickup near the White House grounds. In addition to those weapons, he possessed dozens of rounds of ammunition.

Our nation’s capital is not the place to plan or act out crimes of violence.

This defendant not only admitted to entering the country illegally in 2025, but he was previously detained in 2024 during the Biden Administration at the border in Texas, crossing from Mexico. We will not tolerate threats against the president or illegal possession of weapons by an alien who crosses state lines in a stolen pickup.

A single bird has just accomplished one of the most extraordinary feats in the animal kingdom — flying nearly one-third of the way around the Earth without stopping to eat, drink, or rest.

The record-breaker is a five-month-old Bar-tailed Godwit that flew nonstop from Alaska to Tasmania, Australia. Covering 8,425 miles in just over 11 days, it set a new record for the longest nonstop flight ever documented in any bird.

What makes this journey even more astonishing is that it was the young godwit’s very first migration. The entire route took place over the open Pacific Ocean, with no chance to land. Despite that, the bird navigated thousands of miles of featureless water with pinpoint accuracy.

This incredible endurance is made possible by remarkable physiological adaptations. Before takeoff, the godwit packs on enormous fat reserves — nearly half its body weight — to fuel the flight. At the same time, many of its internal organs, including parts of the digestive system, temporarily shrink to lighten the load and maximize energy efficiency.

Unlike many seabirds that depend heavily on gliding, this godwit flapped continuously for the entire journey, battling shifting winds and weather systems the whole way.

Researchers at the Pūkōroro Auckland Shorebird Centre say discoveries like this are transforming our understanding of migratory birds. Their astonishing endurance, navigation skills, and energy management demonstrate biological capabilities that can match — and in some ways surpass — even the most advanced human engineering.

One of the earliest signs of aging is how easily you fall into bird watching as a hobby.

Nah man. I’m not gonna let this go unchecked. As a GWOT veteran I can’t.

I listened to Massie drone through his articles of impeachment against Pete Hegseth and I recognized the sickness immediately.

We fought under this ridiculous worldview during GWOT, and it cost us dearly.

Massie is merely an acolyte of the bloodless bureaucratic religion that puts the lawyer in the center of the kill chain, treats every American use of force like a moral emergency, and somehow always finds more sympathy for the enemy being hunted than for the American sent to hunt him.

His whole speech I began wondering who he actually was speaking for, and that’s not good.

GWOT vets know EXACTLY where that road leads. Another approval. Another review. Another JAG opinion. Another commander afraid to make a decision because one bad headline will destroy his career faster than losing the fight ever could.

We were lectured for years about “courageous restraint.” We were told that killing one enemy might create ten more. We were taught to fear our own lethality while the enemy studied our hesitation.

And then we spent twenty years bleeding into the fucking sand.

So spare me the sermon about how dangerous it is to remove lawyers who think their job is to become a veto point over command. Spare me the sudden reverence for process from people who watched Afghanistan collapse, watched thirteen Americans die at Abbey Gate, watched the Taliban retake Kabul, and somehow found no constitutional apocalypse worthy of impeachment then.

Now the outrage is that the machine is actually being used. That commanders are expected to command. And that enemies are being treated like…. actual enemies for once.

That civilian leadership is telling the bureaucracy to get the hell out of the way of lawful military action.

From where I sit, the betrayal isn’t that Washington finally found some aggression for a chang. The realest betrayal is that men like Massie still think the lesson of the GWOT was that we needed more hesitation.

No. WE NEEDED MORE VICTORY.

And I’m done pretending those are the same thing. We’re all done with it. Massie is dead wrong here, he knows it, you know it, and I know it.

Sincerely,
-A seriously disgruntled GWOT vet who knows Hegseth is the cure to what ails our military here.

Every Republican legislature in America should immediately pass legislation to:

1) Ban sanctuary cities
2) Ban Ranked Choice Voting
3) Ban ballot harvesting
4) Require citizenship to vote
5) Require photo ID to vote
6) Ban the National Popular Vote Interstate Compact
7) Ban foreign entities from buying property
8) Suspend any gas taxes
9) Institute school choice
10) Abolish property taxes
11) Open non-juror records to public inspection
12) Mandate secretaries of state to share complete voter registration rolls with DOJ
13) Mandate voter roll list maintenance
14) Offer rewards for convictions involving fraudulent use of Medicare, Medicaid, SNAP, Social Security, or other entitlements
15) Freeze rent increases

Republican governors would be wise to use this time to convene special sessions.

@RyanHoliday Ryan, list the books you’ve read that you disagree with politically.

@postandcourier I wish Charleston had an alternative to The Post and Courier so we could read unbiased news.

Vance has been in Rubio’s shadow when it comes to making headlines. Rubio is the face of American diplomacy and the voice of Trump on the world stage. World politics has been a centerpiece of Trump 2.0 and press coverage.

Vance hasn’t seen as much press coverage. He’s mostly in the background. I think Trump gave him some busy work in spearheading the fraud investigations and Vance felt slighted. Vance took an opportunity to throw a boulder in the pond and make waves to test the waters to see how the public reacted and how Trump would react. So far little response from Trump other than rumors he wasn’t pleased. Public received it with open arms.

Vance could have side stepped the war issue and just said the Repiblicans lost because they didn’t move fast enough to bring financial relief to American families. Both houses dragged their feet and got very little done.

Republicans should be synonymous with results. Instead Republicans are synonymous with repeated failure.
