Life is 10% what happens to you and 90% how you react to it. — Charles R. Swindoll. Choose your reaction wisely - you'll need to live with the consequences.
@EricLDaugh Elected officials should not receive any treatment that is not available to non-elected people. They have become blinded to the effects that policies/regulations/laws have on citizens. They need to experience it first hand.
@GovBobFerguson What are you afraid of? You're saying this would be the perfect state to prove Trump wrong once and for all. Sunlight is the best disinfectant. #SecureTheVote
ABSOLUTELY HEARTBREAKING 💔
A father whose 5yo daughter was PARALYZED by an illegal alien truck driver just TORCHED Democrats to their faces: "I reject your sympathy... I hold each and every one of you responsible!"
This is the REAL human cost of open border policies. Radical leftists must be held accountable!
The father of a girl who was disabled in an accident with a truck driven by an illegal alien tells Pramila Jayapal and her fellow Democrats: "I reject your guys' sympathy to be honest with you. There's no way you guys are sorry."
🚨Trump ORDERS 'Voter Fraud Blitz' in Nine States

ICE’s investigative arm, HSI, will pursue leads, conduct field interviews, and support prosecutions through mid-October.
This comes after Secretary Mullin previously stated 250,000+ noncitizens were found on voter rolls in four states.
This is what I voted for.

ABOUT LAKE AMERICA
What's the name of the river that separates Texas from Mexico?
The Rio Grande?
That's right. The Rio Grande.
If you're standing on the north bank.
But if you wade across and stand on the south bank, what's its name then?
If you say, "The Rio Grande," you're an American.
But if you say, "The Rio Bravo," you're a Mexican.
Because that one river has two names. One officially recognized by the American government and one officially recognized by the Mexican government.
Kind of like the Persian Gulf.
On its eastern shores it is the Persian Gulf, on its western shores it is the Arabian Gulf. One body of water, two names, reflecting the values, heritage and pride of the nations which surround it.
A last example: The South China Sea. One body of water, officially known as the South China Sea to China, the East Sea to Vietnam and the West Sea to the Philippines.
Which means if Canada wants to call the easternmost body of fresh water between itself and the United States Lake Ontario, and the United States wants to call that same body of fresh water Lake America, it would be in keeping with a practice established around the world for centuries.
Kind of like the practice of governments changing the names of geographical features for political reasons, like Presidents Obama and Biden did some 650 times.
You knew that, right?
In the last two Democrat administrations, the federal government went on a spree, scrubbing the map of names, people, words and races it found politically unacceptable.
Remember Mount McKinley, Point Barrow, Squaw Peak and Fort Polk?
So, the precedent is broadly and repeatedly established by Barack Obama and Joe Biden -- a president can name any damn thing any damn thing for any damn reason.
Like Trump did.
Like Trump trolled Democrats into believing he did.
It's like he's got a laser pointer and they're a roomful of cats. He plays them like a fish.
He posts on Truth Social and they shit their pants. He scribbles with his giant Sharpie and their heads explode.
He says something about Lake Ontario and they completely forget the six-month anniversary of the Iran War. The Democrats and their puppets on the evening news.
Moron politicians with social media posts from the shore, breathless reporters doing Man On The Street with men on the beach, indignant Canadians spitting on America, earnest Native Americans explaining etymology.
He leads them around by the nose.
"Republicans take Trump seriously, but not literally," a smart man said. "Democrats take Trump literally, not not seriously."
And so he trolls them, for fun and sport. And distraction.
Because the same Democrats and reporters who seem to believe Trump gives a damn what Lake Ontario is called are completely oblivious to the real issue at hand -- which is how the Canadians have lived like leeches off American prosperity for generations.
Take 2025, for example.
Last year, Canada's trade surplus with the United States was about $150 billion. That means that as a result of trade between the two nations, they ended up $150 billion richer and we ended up $150 billion poorer.
That happens because they rip us off. They rig the game to enrich themselves and impoverish us.
That grabbing of American cash becomes more galling when you look at the rest of Canada's top-10 trading relationships, in which it runs a trade deficit with every nation except the United Kingdom and the Netherlands.
In fact, if it wasn't ripping the United States off for $150 billion a year, Canada would run a net trade deficit with the world, meaning that each year it would export wealth and become poorer and poorer. But it takes our money to paper over its weakness.
If it wasn't siphoning off America's prosperity through unfair trade practices, Canada would fall on its financial face.
We carry it on our backs, at the expense of American jobs and prosperity.
And that's what has Trump pissed off. That is what he cares about.
No matter what you call the lake.
I guess this shoe hurts #hypocrites...."Ellison also accused the Texas governor of "turning Texas into a sanctuary state for violent criminals."

In 1988 Dolly Parton pulled every 7th and 8th grader in Sevier County into a room and told them to pick a buddy.
She made them sign a contract.. if BOTH graduate, she hands you both $500. One fails, nobody gets paid.
The county dropout rate went from 35% to 6%.
She handed out the checks herself.
In 1989 she offered $500 to every kid in the county who wanted to go to the local college.
When Gatlinburg burned in 2016, she sent 900 families $1,000 a month for six months.
You've probably heard that part.
Here's the part you haven't:
The fund raised more than expected, so she showed up in May and handed every one of those families another $5,000 on top.
Then she quietly put $3 million into the recovery group that handles the years after the news trucks leave.
She built her county an entire hospital.
She played a benefit concert in 2007, Dollywood and the Stampede matched it, and LeConte Medical Center opened in 2010 with a birthing unit and a women's center in it.
In 2022 she started covering 100% of tuition, books, and fees for Dollywood employees.
Full-time, part-time, AND seasonal.
In 1991 she paid for a bald eagle sanctuary because the birds couldn't be released back into the wild, no press release.
And when Hurricane Helene came through here in Western North Carolina, she wrote a personal check for $1 million and her companies matched it.
She didn't owe North Carolina anything, but she helped us anyway.
She started the Imagination Library because her daddy couldn't read or write. Before he passed, he told her it was the most important thing she ever did.
Rest in Peace, Dolly 🇺🇸
@CasperAndAngel@NatetheLawyer Once a court finds that she is no longer mentally ill and no longer poses a likelihood of serious harm, she must be discharged. There is no additional fixed term of custody under Massachusetts law after that determination.
@quinn31960@CNN Is it pregnancy related psychosis or pharmaceutical induced psychosis? ONLY effects 1 in 1000? Can you imagine if giving pharmaceuticals caused cancer to 1 in 1000? The grip the pharmaceutical industry has on people needs to be seriously looked at.
@NatetheLawyer The justice system needs to change this from NOT GUILTY by reason due to mental disease. They are GUILTY with mental disease. The notion that they can be released once it is determined they are "cured" is bizarre. Take away the death penalty but hold them accountable for life.
“We tolerated Obama for 8 years, and Biden for 4, and kept quiet. Here is my issue with the whole, “let us all be a United States again”...

We remember “not our president” and the “Resistance…”
We remember Maxine Walters telling followers to harass us in restaurants.
We remember the Presidents spokesperson being kicked out a restaurant.
We remember hundreds of Trump supporters physically attacked.
We remember Trump supporters getting Doxed, and fired from jobs.
We remember riots, and looting.
We remember “a comedian” holding up the President’s severed head.
We remember a play in Central park paid with public funding, showing the killing of President Trump.
We remember Robert de Niro yelling “F" Trump” at the Tony’s and getting a standing ovation.
We remember Nancy Pelosi tearing up the State of the Union Address.
We remember the total in the tank move on the mainstream media.

We remember non-stop in your face lies and open cover-ups from the media.

This list is endless, but you get the idea. My friends will be my friends, but a party that has been on the attack for 4 long years does not get a free pass with me.
We have proof you've been lying, You And Your Media Friends. Trying to brainwash and control us by controlling the news we receive...
We also know that when you get back in power your going to do it again....but this time you'll be even worse.
Packing the Courts, Making DC and Puerto Rico states.... Reopen our borders and All to give yourselves Permanent Power To Rule over The People You don't like and can't stand and to make sure you get your way, even though most of America DOESN'T Want YOUR way......
NO I will never give the Democrats a break for all the trouble they’ve caused.
They’ve dug a very very deep hole and it’s going to take a very long time for them to crawl out of it.
This Country and its people Do Not want Socialism or Communism and until you Recognize that .....
No Power For You.”
