Our American flag has flown over battlefields, hurricanes, terrorist attacks, floods, wildfires, and some of the hardest days this country has ever faced.
Through all of it, one lesson remains true: America's greatest strength has never been a building, a government agency, or a piece of equipment.
It's people.
The neighbors who check on each other. The volunteers who show up. The first responders who run toward danger. The communities that rebuild after disaster strikes.
It is choosing to be someone others can rely on when things go wrong.
And despite our disagreements, challenges, and imperfections, there is still much to be proud of. A nation built on the belief that people should be free. A nation that has repeatedly risen to meet extraordinary challenges. A nation whose strength is found not in its institutions alone, but in the character of its people.
That is worth remembering today.
Happy Flag Day!
🚨 I’m a Black man, a proud conservative, and a follower of Jesus Christ.
When I see protesters outside the Collin County Courthouse chanting “FUCK WHITE LIVES!” after Karmelo Anthony’s sentencing for murdering Austin Metcalf, my soul grieves.
This isn’t justice. This isn’t “community.” This is demonic hatred — plain and simple. All lives are made in the image of God. Every single one. Black, White, Brown — doesn’t matter.
Celebrating the loss of any innocent life, or cheering on evil because of skin color, is straight from the pit of hell.
And here’s the truth they don’t want you to say out loud: When Black conservatives, Christians, or truth-tellers like me call this out, we get labeled “traitors,” “Uncle Toms,” or “betrayers of the community.”
Let them talk.
I’d rather be disliked by some in my own community than stand before a Holy God and be found guilty of excusing evil, hating my neighbor, or twisting justice for racial points.
My allegiance is to Christ first — not color, not tribe, not political pressure.
“Woe to those who call evil good and good evil…” (Isaiah 5:20)
I choose truth over tribe. Light over darkness. God over man.
Who else is tired of the hate? Drop a 🙏 if you stand for real justice — not skin color.

Hey Jasmine…
Black pilot here.
I think you missed the plot.
Then again, that’s becoming a pattern.
I graduated from West Point.
I went through Army flight school.
I learned to fly the AH-64 Apache.
I deployed to combat and flew 55 combat missions over Baghdad.
Nobody handed me a cockpit because of my skin color.
Nobody lowered the standards for me.
Nobody looked at me and said, “Let’s check a diversity box.”
That’s what people like you don’t seem to understand.
Suggesting that Black pilots, Black engineers, Black doctors, or Black leaders need special preferences to succeed is not empowering, it’s insulting.
I didn’t want a different standard.
I wanted the same standard.
And when you’re flying into combat, the American people don’t care what race the pilot is.
They care whether the pilot is qualified.
Merit isn’t racist.
Excellence isn’t discriminatory.
And reducing every achievement to skin color says far more about your worldview than it does about mine.
🚨 WOW! Dr. ALVEDA KING just said it PERFECTLY on Capitol Hill
"I still have a dream. I dream that one day we will move beyond black power and white power and embrace GOD'S power and human dignity!"
"I reject the notion that Americans who hold traditional Christian beliefs should be treated as THREATS or TERRORISTS simply because we disagree with a prevailing political thought!" 🙏🏻
"I dream that Americans will one day see each other, not as enemies, but as neighbors. I dream that we will hear each other, see each other, and recognize that every human life has value from the womb to the tomb and beyond."
"We are as scripture teaches, one blood, one human race. And if we remember that truth, we can build a future worthy of the sacrifices made by those who came before us."
"We must speak out for truth and against the forces that would manufacture hate, fear, division, and violence simply to line their pockets and further their political ambitions."
"God bless America, God bless you!"
🇺🇸🇺🇸👏🏻
🚨PRIDE MONTH🚨
The Texas Rangers are the ONLY MLB team not acknowledging “Pride Month.”
The Rangers are again not hosting an LGBT night event.
Instead, on June 18, they will be hosting a Faith and Family Night.
According to their website, the event will feature “personal testimonies from Rangers players Wyatt Langford, Josh Jung, Cody Bradford, Jacob Latz, Jalen Beeks, and others, sharing how faith impacts their lives both on and off the field.”
I find it so incredibly offensive that some musicians don’t even want to celebrate the 250 year birthday of the greatest country on earth. A lot of these people truly haven’t a clue what has been sacrificed for this country or how many Americans gave everything so they could live the lives they do today.
This nation was built and defended by generations willing to fight, bleed, and die for freedom, opportunity, and the ability to speak openly including the freedom to complain about America while benefiting from everything it provides.
Celebrating 250 years should not even be controversial. It’s about honoring the people who built this country, defended it, and kept it standing through every challenge thrown at it.
Loving your country is not a bad thing, no matter how hard some people try to manipulate and convince you otherwise. Pride in your nation, its people, and its sacrifices is something to be proud of and worth standing up for. Screw anyone trying to shame people for loving America.
I’ve been working terrorism issues since college, decades now, and I’ve never seen the level of terrorism sympathizing and outright Islamist rhetoric that exists right now in this country. Not even close.
Muslim friends of mine overseas are constantly messaging me telling me to stay away from this location or that location in my own backyard because they are hearing about plotting. This is separate from the massive homeland plotting being directed by Al-Qaeda.
Yet many people want to put counterterrorism in the rearview mirror as if the threat somehow disappeared. It didn’t. Not with more than 18,000 Islamist extremists currently on U.S. soil. Pretending the problem is over does not make it go away. It just guarantees we will stay unprepared in a fight that has never actually ended.
The days of burying our heads in the sand as a nation are over. We should not have to wait for the next 9/11 to fix a failing counterterrorism posture inside the United States. To be honest, the FBI has not been reformed in a way that meets the scale of the threat we face. What exists now is not good enough for the battles in front of us as a nation.
This is a watershed moment whether people recognize it yet or not. We have two decades of warfighters, intelligence professionals, and practitioners here in the United States who understand this enemy better than anyone. If the institutions responsible will not adapt, then it is time something changes. Because ignoring the threat will not stop it. It will only ensure the cost is far greater when reality finally catches up.
NEW: Jacksonville Jaguars star Travis Hunter gets baptized before his game against the Seattle Seahawks.
“Couldn't find my keys this morning and was late for church, only to come upon Jacksonville Jaguars Travis Hunter getting baptized!” a church attendee said.
“He asked to come get baptized before today's game. Thank you Jesus for touching this young man's life!”
Love this 🙏

So well said. My heart has been hurting so much since and to an extent I’ve. Even wondering WHY even though I never we even met him. Thanks @WatchChad for putting it into words.
Good morning.
The reason you feel Charlie’s death so deeply is because grief doesn’t measure itself by proximity. It measures itself by meaning. You didn’t have to know him personally to feel the sting of his absence, because when a voice like his goes silent, something in the atmosphere shifts.
The reason it feels heavier than so many other tragedies is because your spirit recognizes that this is not just about a man, it is about a battle. Scripture says eternity is written on our hearts, and when someone who carried truth with boldness is suddenly gone, eternity aches within us. It’s like our souls know instinctively that the darkness celebrated, and that strikes us at the core.
The reason you can’t shake it is because psychologically, we don’t only attach ourselves to people…we attach ourselves to symbols. Charlie became a symbol of conviction in a time of compromise, courage in a time of fear. And when a symbol is struck down, it rattles something primal and eternal inside us.
That’s why even those who never met him feel it. There is a strange thread pulling at us, and it is not imagined. It is real. We are bound together by shared purpose, by shared longing for truth, by the Spirit of God Himself weaving us into a fabric that cannot be torn apart. This loss pulled at that fabric, and every one of us felt the tug.
So if you’ve wondered why this hits so hard, it’s because your soul knows. This is bigger than news. This is bigger than politics. This is about eternity, about truth, and about the weight of a man whose life carried both.
Love y’all.
Over the past two years, three of my friends have been rushed to the hospital for severe heart palpitations and arrhythmias. All three were diagnosed with Myocarditis, and all three took the Covid Jab. REMINDER: There is no statute of limitations on crimes against humanity.
We are saddened to learn of the passing of former LA Tech quarterback, Phil Robertson. Our thoughts and prayers are with the Robertson family during this time.
