No, the war in Iran is not about Israel.

Here's the history of U.S. - Iranian relations, and the current dilemma.

[Kaizen D. Asiedu @thatsKAIZEN]

On Saturday, Iran's government claimed the U.S. and Israel bombed a school - without evidence - and the media made that the headline.

Trump talks about Tylenol and autism - media: "Trump makes claim, without evidence."

The media is more skeptical of America than our enemies.

It’s not the start of World War 3.

It’s not Iraq 2.0.

It’s about the Islamic Republic and our chessmatch against China.

[Alex Dinh @AlexCDinh]

Phenomenal speech.

[JD Vance @JDVance]

This is a great speech. Worth watching the whole thing.

[Alex Dinh @AlexCDinh]

Once again, love his thoughtful takes on nuance, complicated topics

No, it's not racist to require voter ID.

Billie Eilish says America is on stolen land.

Ok. Who should we give it back to?

The Tongva people?

Or the people they stole it from?

Some people are saying that the agent shouldn’t have shot her.

Officers are trained to treat a vehicle being driven at them as deadly force.

They have seconds to respond. They don’t know the driver’s intent.

That’s why they choose deadly force. Otherwise, this can happen.

This wasn't murder.

Renee's death in Minneapolis is tragic.

But see it for what it is, not what you want it to be.

You can hate ICE.

But blocking officers then speeding off in a 2-ton vehicle with people at your bumper is irrational.

She rolled the dice. Sadly, she died.

If you believe Zohran Mamdani is a lying jihadist who hates Jews, this video is for you.

Perhaps it won’t change your mind - but it will bring you calm.

It breaks down “globalize the intifada,” taqiyyah, and his comments on Israel.

@H2TheIzzen Your D-line is good. Put a lot of pressure on Dak. But your DBs are not good. Dallas has number one offense in league. Defense though is worst but you guys were missing top WRs to take advantage

Calling Columbus Day “Indigenous People’s Day” is the continuation of an unhealthy trend of indulging in shame rather than celebrating achievement.

The same trend that causes us to take down statues for founding fathers because they were slaveowners, or burn flags.

If we keep shaming ourselves for everything we’ve done as a civilization, eventually there will be nothing to celebrate.

This is important--money is fungible--and it's why the Democrat and media lie that health care is not going to illegals is so preposterous. Consider, for instance, two state Medicaid programs--Ohio and New York. New York gives Medicaid to illegals and Ohio doesn't.

When the government gives billions of dollars to New York for Medicaid, that frees up state money in New York that can then be spent on illegals.

It's like if you give a mobster $100 but he PROMISES you he won't spend the money to buy a gun and commit a crime. Well, he takes the $100 you gave him and buys food, and then takes the money he would have spent on food and uses that money to buy the gun instead. This is what "money is fungible" means.

Additionally, because medical services are limited in supply, when an illegal accesses health. care, it drives up the cost for everyone. So New Yorkers are paying a higher price for medical services, and the federal government is subsidizing those higher prices.

So everyone in the media, from George Stephanopoulos to Jake Tapper, repeating these Democrat talking points, is engaged in the Democrat propaganda war.

Democrats shut down the government to give health care money to illegal aliens. It's really that simple.

I wish everyone calling Kirk and MAGA Nazis and fascists got to be in that room today.

@ChrisKirschner @atlantahumane Sorry for your loss

[Kaizen D. Asiedu @thatsKAIZEN]

Many Americans believe Charlie Kirk advocated for gays to be stoned to death.

Stephen King was one.

He apologized. That’s good.

But people celebrating death don’t know.

We’re all in echo chambers.

Clips are driving opinions of strangers.

And it’s putting us all in danger.

[Kaizen D. Asiedu @thatsKAIZEN]

Maybe you’re glad Charlie Kirk is dead.

Maybe you think he was hateful and harmed your community.

I’m not going to convince you to feel sad.

But I want to show you where both sides are headed.

Because when the assassin fired, they didn’t just hit him.

They hit all of us.

A while ago, probably in 2017, I appeared on Tucker Carlson's Fox show to talk about God knows what. Afterwards a name I barely knew sent me a DM on twitter and told me I did a great job. It was Charlie Kirk, and that moment of kindness began a friendship that lasted until today.

Charlie was fascinated by ideas and always willing to learn and change his mind. Like me, he was skeptical of Donald Trump in 2016. Like me, he came to see President Trump as the only figure capable of moving American politics away from the globalism that had dominated for our entire lives. When others were right, he learned from them. When he was right--as he usually was--he was generous. With Charlie, the attitude was never, "I told you so." But: "welcome."

Charlie was one of the first people I called when I thought about running for senate in early 2021. I was interested but skeptical there was a pathway. We talked through everything, from the strategy to the fundraising to the grassroots of the movement he knew so well. He introduced me to some of the people who would run my campaign and also to Donald Trump Jr. "Like his dad, he's misunderstood. He's extremely smart, and very much on our wavelength." Don took a call from me because Charlie asked him too.

Long before I ever committed (even in my mind) to running, Charlie had me speak to his donors at a TPUSA event. He walked me around the room and introduced me. He gave me honest feedback on my remarks. He had no reason to do this, no expectation that I'd go anywhere. I was polling, at that point, well below 5 percent. He did it because we were friends, and because he was a good man.

When I became the VP nominee--something Charlie advocated for both in public and private--Charlie was there for me. I was so glad to be part of the president's team, but candidly surprised by the effect it had on our family. Our kids, especially our oldest, struggled with the attention and the constant presence of the protective detail. I felt this acute sense of guilt, that I had conscripted my kids into this life without getting their permission. And Charlie was constantly calling and texting, checking on our family and offering guidance and prayers. Some of our most successful events were organized not by the campaign, but by TPUSA. He wasn't just a thinker, he was a doer, turning big ideas into bigger events with thousands of activists. And after every event, he would give me a big hug, tell me he was praying for me, and ask me what he could do. "You focus on Wisconsin," he'd tell me. "Arizona is in the bag." And it was.

Charlie genuinely believed in and loved Jesus Christ. He had a profound faith. We used to argue about Catholicism and Protestantism and who was right about minor doctrinal questions. Because he loved God, he wanted to understand him.

Someone else pointed out that Charlie died doing what he loved: discussing ideas. He would go into these hostile crowds and answer their questions. If it was a friendly crowd, and a progressive asked a question to jeers from the audience, he'd encourage his fans to calm down and let everyone speak. He exemplified a foundational virtue of our Republic: the willingness to speak openly and debate ideas.

Charlie had an uncanny ability to know when to push the envelope and when to be more conventional. I've seen people attack him for years for being wrong on this or that issue publicly, never realizing that privately he was working to broaden the scope of acceptable debate.

He was a great family man. I was talking to President Trump in the Oval Office today, and he said, "I know he was a very good friend of yours." I nodded silently, and President Trump observed that Charlie really loved his family. The president was right. Charlie was so proud of Erika and the two kids. He was so happy to be a father. And he felt such gratitude for having found a woman of God with whom he could build a family.

Charlie Kirk was a true friend. The kind of guy you could say something to and know it would always stay with him. I am on more than a few group chats with Charlie and people he introduced me to over the years. We celebrate weddings and babies, bust each other's chops, and mourn the loss of loved ones. We talk about politics and policy and sports and life. These group chats include people at the very highest level of our government. They trusted him, loved him, and knew he'd always have their backs. And because he was a true friend ,you could instinctively trust the people Charlie introduced you to. So much of the success we've had in this administration traces directly to Charlie's ability to organize and convene. He didn't just help us win in 2024, he helped us staff the entire government.

I was in a meeting in the West Wing when those group chats started lighting up with people telling Charlie they were praying for him. And that's how I learned the news that my friend had been shot. I prayed a lot over the next hour, as first good news and then bad trickled in.

God didn't answer those prayers, and that's OK. He had other plans. And now that Charlie is in heaven, I'll ask him to talk to big man directly on behalf of his family, his friends, and the country he loved so dearly.

You ran a good race, my friend.

We've got it from here.

[Kaizen D. Asiedu @thatsKAIZEN]

Charlie was shot because he was honest.

America, we can’t keep doing this.
