Ted Cruz being deeply concerned might be the best case for hope

[Marjorie Taylor Greene 🇺🇸 @mtgreenee]

It’s not an antisemitic conspiracy theory when a foreign lobby openly brags that they bought two congressional seats with candidates who will be loyal to Israel.

[Hawkeye Enjoyer (IOWA FIRST) 🐤 @HawkGuyEnjoyer]

Someone who nobody has ever heard of, declined 8 debates, and took $20 million in donations from Israel “won” a primary from an 8 year constituent.

We’re cooked.

[Shawn Ryan @ShawnRyan762]

Massie: $5.5M raised. Average donor gave $100. His opposition: $32 million. Three billionaires, Secretary Hegseth on the ground, four presidential attacks in one day, all to silence the guy fighting for the Epstein files. Trump calls elections rigged. Look in the mirror. Go Massie.

[Travis @NihiloX]

“He’s one of my FAVORITE members of Congress.

He loves the CONSTITUTION.

He loves LIBERTY.

He’s HONEST. He’s TOUGH. He’s going to really go after the intel agencies. 💥

It’s @RepThomasMassie, who’s just terrific from Kentucky.”

[Kevin | Large Fam Dad @LargeFamDad]

My boss's boss is like 42, never married, no kids. Earns $275-300K per year. Goes on a minimum of two international vacations a year w/ his girlfriend. 10+ days, all out.

Eats the best food, stays in top notch accomodations. Excursions, tours, nicest beaches, etc.

Great guy, I'm happy for him.

But what I've realized is that without kids, you end up chasing a lifestyle that has to continually be topped in order for you to be satisfied and find happiness.

What he and others like him don't understand is that when you have children, seeing THEM experience life's most basic things and watching their eyes light up at all the "firsts", brings greater pleasure and joy than any vacation or travel experience ever could.

Seeing THEM try blueberries for the first time is greater than dining at the best 5 star restaurant in Europe.

Seeing THEM learn how to walk is greater than walking the Great Wall of China or strolling along the most picturesque beach.

Watching THEM giggle uncontrollably at "peek-a-boo" tops any A-list comedian act.

Seeing THEIR excitement when building a fort out of cardboard boxes and making a door big enough for daddy is superior to staying at 5-star resorts.

Flying kites with THEM far outweighs excursions like parasailing or helicopter rides.

Seeing THEM perform a recital on stage for the first time is more rewarding than watching a Broadway show or top notch symphony orchestra.

-----------------

When you have children, all of a sudden you realize that life's greatest joys are not in the pursuit of things or pleasure or travel, but rather in the LOVE and bond you share with your very own image bearers.

Seeing the beauty and magnificence and wonder of life all over again for the first time through THEIR eyes and expressions gives you something the world simply cannot offer, nor even come close.

[Fandom Pulse @fandompulse]

George R.R. Martin on how film and TV adaptations make the story worse:

"Everywhere you look, there are more screenwriters and producers eager to take great stories and “make them their own.”   It does not seem to matter whether the source material was written by Stan Lee, Charles Dickens, Ian Fleming, Roald Dahl, Ursula K. Le Guin, J.R.R. Tolkien, Mark Twain, Raymond Chandler, Jane Austen, or… well, anyone. No matter how major a writer it is, no matter how great the book, there always seems to be someone on hand who thinks he can do better, eager to take the story and “improve” on it.   “The book is the book, the film is the film,” they will tell you, as if they were saying something profound.  Then they make the story their own.

They never make it better, though.  Nine hundred ninety-nine times out of a thousand, they make it worse."

Is he right?

[Thomas Massie @RepThomasMassie]

They’ve deployed the ultimate weapon of mass distraction, but the Epstein files aren’t going away… even for aliens.

[my book is better than my tweets @MichellCClark]

social media made a lot of us feel like we have to be loud, or experts, or controversial.

we’re missing out on curiosity. we’re missing out on nuance. we have so many opportunities to learn from each other.
