I read something inspiring today. It's supposedly an old German sentiment that says you can't chase butterflies. But you can build a beautiful garden to attract them. And if, in the end, the butterflies don't come, you still have a beautiful garden.

And that matters.

The enthusiastic gloating over a the loss of a candidate whose entire campaign was simply to clean up his hometown is one the most disgusting displays of arrogance and ugliness I’ve ever seen in my life.

This is nothing short of political bullying. It’s abhorrent and it is increasingly why the ideal of American politics being of the people and for the people is being supplanted by professional grifters and communist activists.

Absolutely disgusted.

Be anxious for nothing, but in everything by prayer and supplication with thanksgiving let your requests be made known to God.

We have Democrats nominating an actual DEI Nazi to the Senate.

We have Act Blue funding Democrat campaigns with foreign money.

And we have a Democrat Governor covering up election fraud in California.

But please continue to say that Trump is the problem.

Oh yeah, and don’t forget the terrorist sympathizer they nominated in NJ.

Total freaks.

[Jason Cohen 🇺🇸 @JasonJournoDC]

💥NEW: Jillian Michaels: “I gotta be honest: it seems to me that Trump is the ONLY one standing between US and the COMPLETE loss of free and fair elections.”

“You know, I used to think that Trump was INSANE for suggesting that the 2020 election was stolen. And now, I’m just — I’m actually not so sure.”

“Because these ANIMALS in California are not just changing election law — they’re changing what elections actually ARE!”

A candidate finishing in third place concedes, having been mathematically eliminated.

Suddenly, a huge batch of late mail-in ballots appears after Election Day.

She receives nearly all of them. 🤡

This surge magically drops the surging Republican candidate to third place, knocking him out of contention.

You are expected to believe this is a normal, honest election.

If you aren’t fucking furious, you aren't paying attention.

every single national team should make a photoshoot like this one but with their own culture this is what makes world cup fun besides the obvious football aspect

This is the most detailed MRI scan of an unborn baby.

At just 20 weeks, she is moving, turning her head, kicking—even standing. Her beating heart is also visible.

Children are a gift from God.

90% of the soldiers on the first boats to hit the beach didn't live to see the end of the day. Look at those faces. Some of them never made it to 18.

Never forget that they paid the ultimate price for our freedom. We live our lives the way we do because of them.

She ate lunch alone for 730 days straight. What this 16-year-old built from that pain now protects millions of kids worldwide.

Seventh grade. Natalie Hampton carried her tray through a packed cafeteria and felt it — that specific, suffocating dread of not knowing where to go.

She'd already learned what happened when you approached the wrong table. The silence. The turned backs. The whispered laughter that followed you all the way to the empty table by the wall.

The one everyone could see.

The one that said: nobody wants her.

For two full years — 730 consecutive lunches — that table was hers. Alone.

The bullying went further than whispers. She was shoved into lockers. Four physical attacks in two weeks. She came home with scratches and bruises. When she finally reported it, school administrators sent her to counseling — to find out what she was doing wrong.

The isolation grew so heavy she was hospitalized for anxiety.

Then ninth grade came. A new school. And almost overnight — everything changed. Students welcomed her. She made friends within weeks. She finally knew what safe felt like.

But she couldn't stop thinking about the kids still sitting at the wall table. Right now. Today.

She remembered what she'd needed most during all those lunches. Not a teacher. Not a pamphlet. Just one person saying: "You can sit with us."

So at 16 — with zero coding experience and "a lot of enthusiasm," as she put it — Natalie built exactly that.

She called it Sit With Us.

The idea was simple and genius: students sign up as "ambassadors," keeping their table open. Other kids privately browse available tables on their phones before ever walking into the cafeteria — and show up knowing they're already welcome.

No public rejection. No moment of judgment. Just a guaranteed seat.

Within 7 days of launching: 10,000 downloads.

Then the world found her. NPR. The Washington Post. CBS News. Messages from Morocco, Australia, the Philippines, France — kids who'd been eating alone for years, finally finding a place to belong.

Sit With Us now operates in 30 countries.

"Even if it helps one person," Natalie said quietly, "it was worth building."

She turned 730 lunches of loneliness into a lifeline for millions.

That's not just survival. That's transformation.

President Trump isn't allowed to restore our fountains and monuments, or build stunning structures showcasing American craftsmanship, engineering, and architectural excellence. Apparently, government spending is only acceptable when it's funding drag queens, the Taliban, Somalian pirates, and the pockets of Ukrainian oligarchs.

[Eric Daugherty @EricLDaugh]

🚨 WOW! Sen. Eric Schmitt looks Sen. Mazie Hirono (D) in the EYES and GOES BALLISTIC after she defended fraudsters and r*pists

"YOU'RE DAMN RIGHT WE'RE DEPORTING YOU! 🔥

"No, no, no, it's MY TIME now. BIZARRE is the idea you'd be here in this committee DEFENDING VIOLENT MURDERERS from being deported. That you would be defending violent r*pists from being deported!"

"To the American taxpayer that's been RIPPED OFF by people who came to this country. That's HORRIFIC—"

"That you would defend people who took advantage of the good people of this country, their taxpayer dollars. That is bizarre. A terrorist who kills American citizens!"

"You know what's bizarre is YOUR defense of THAT!"

"So FORGIVE ME if you're 24 million Americans should be, our naturalized citizens should be afraid. That's ridiculous."

"You have nothing but fearmongering here! What I'm saying in this bill is if you do those things to the American people, if you take advantage of taxpayers, you're not recognized."

"If you commit a terrorist act, if you commit wholesale welfare fraud, within 10 years, you're damn right we're deporting you."

"If you're convicted, it's not being accused of anything. If you are convicted in a court of law of these crimes, absolutely we should not only convict you, but we should deport you. Gone."

"And if you think that's some sort of negative assertion towards me, I'll take it. I love it!"

"That's what we should be doing more of in this country, because people are coming here in the ripping off taxpayers."

"And I, for one, don't want to see it anymore."

I don't know who needs to hear this, but this one stayed with me:

"if it's from God, it'll chase you even if you run. If it isn't, it will run from you, even if you chase.

[Curtis Houck @CurtisHouck]

POWERFUL: @BUngarSargon SLAMS Graham Platner and Democrats lining up to defend him...

"Well, I'll just say my grandfather's whole family was murdered in the Sobibor concentration camp. Graham Platner doesn't just have a Nazi tattoo. For 18 years, he had a tattoo of the concentration camp guards on his chest, and he knew what it was. He knew what it was. And to hear people compare that to anything else in the public sphere in America is insane. And it is insanely offensive. These people who are defending him called me, and every other MAGA person a Nazi for ten years, because we voted for someone who we thought would improve the lives of working-class Americans, and now they are lining up and defending a guy who had a Nazi tattoo -- which he knew about -- for 18 years. It is so insane to act like anything Donald Trump did was anywhere close to having a Taunton Cup on his chest for 18 years. This guy is a Nazi, and Democrats are lining up behind him because they think he can win."

Bessent exemplifies my favorite form of the political animal. He’s an articulate, clubbable, well-coiffed, bloodthirsty, savage beast. You love to see it.
