As a Native American I’m a little offended that the 14th Amendment didn’t grant us citizenship until Congress passed an exception for us. Meanwhile, a CCP spy can fly to Guam, drop a baby and fly home with the baby who qualifies to run for president 35 years later.

Ron DeSantis is the best political leader in the country and it isn’t close. New York and California are a financial disaster, while Florida is one success story after another

If he were a Democrat, the media would throwing parades in his honor celebrating his accomplishments

@RonDeSantis You have no idea the anxiety of thinking you will no longer be governor after November. Thank you for everything!

[Bishop Robert Barron @BishopBarron]

Like many others, I have been alarmed by the success of certain politicians in our country who identify as extreme socialists or communists.

This is not a matter of classical liberals triumphing over standard-issue conservatives; this is the victory of people who stand athwart the fundamental principles that undergird our country.

There are many reasons why I detest Communism, but I want to draw attention to just one issue of supreme importance.

Karl Marx said that the first critique is the critique of religion. He meant that, before a complete re-working of the politics and economics of a society can take place, religion has to be taken down.

This is because religion, as he saw it, is the “opium of the masses,” a drug taken to dull our sensitivity to the suffering caused by economic exploitation. As long as the suffering populace is lured into complacency by fantasies about God's providence and the promise of eternal life, they will never rise up and throw off their chains.

But there is a second reason why the elimination of religion is of paramount significance for Marx.

Communism aspires to be a totalizing system, involving the government's control over education, entertainment, communication, politics, and especially economics.

What stands resolutely athwart this ambition is religion, which declares that all of these societal expressions are finally under the judgment of God. So, if you want Communism to succeed, religion has to be stamped out.

If you doubt me on any of this, I would encourage you to read the recent histories of China, Russia, Cuba, Nicaragua, Vietnam, Cambodia, and Venezuela. Revisit those histories and tell me I'm wrong about the attack on religion.

Might I encourage my fellow believers in God not to be complacent in the face of this very troubling development in the American body politic?

Congats to the 22-year-old son of Sen. Kirsten Gillibrand (D-NY) for raising $30 million on his new company with a $300m valuation.

His prior work -- as a Senate intern and then in the Congress Influence department at Andreessen, Horowitz -- is a testament to our meritocracy!🇺🇸

[Henry Burke @burkehenryt]

Gillibrand's son graduated from undergrad on Sunday. Today it's reported that he's received $30 million in venture capital funding to launch a derivatives exchange. His mom sat on the Senate Agriculture committee—which has jurisdiction over derivates—until this past year

The Department of Homeland Security says Abraham Hermosillo Alvarez, a Mexican national, was the alleged leader of a terror plot targeting UFC Freedom 250 at the White House. The FBI arrested Alvarez in Omaha on the day of the event, and ICE later lodged a detainer against him.

Administration officials say Alvarez orchestrated the failed attack and will be prosecuted before being deported. He came to the United States as a child and was granted DACA protection in 2014 after overstaying a B-2 visa that expired in 2001.
