Thank You Tulsi Gabbard, best wishes, now we need consequences!

Today, on my final day as Director of National Intelligence, I’m releasing never-before-seen communications and documents exposing how Dr. Fauci provided millions in US taxpayer dollars to fund dangerous gain-of-function research at the Wuhan lab, worked with politicized elements within the Intelligence Community to suppress the truth about his actions and hide the virus’ lab-leak origins, and lied to Congress while under oath in 2024. It’s time you know the truth.

The 2,000-year-old city of Petra, Jordan 🇯🇴, known for the magnificent temples carved into its red sandstone cliffs, is also home to an incredible feat of hydraulic engineering. An extensive water supply system turned this ancient city into a man-made oasis supporting a substantial population.

At its peak, Petra was the thriving capital of the Nabataean Kingdom, a powerful and wealthy Arab state that existed from the 4th century BCE to the 1st century CE. The city, surrounded by desert, was home to more than 25,000 inhabitants. Its lavish gardens, pools, and fountains displayed the Kingdom’s splendor and served as a major stop along a busy trading route.

Considering Petra’s location in an arid desert valley, the fact that it once grew into a bustling metropolis is nothing short of miraculous. In fact, some consider it a genuine miracle, as one of its water sources is said to be the place where Moses brought water out of a rock. But the archaeological evidence shows that it was the ancient Nabataeans who built their city’s water infrastructure. They learned from and incorporated technologies from all over the ancient world, producing a highly effective system of aqueducts and pipelines that transported nearly every drop of surface water in the surrounding area directly to the city.

The most well-preserved and widely studied of these channels is the Wadi Mataha, a ceramic pipeline built on an elevated platform along a dry riverbed. It stretched over five miles, consisting of tens of thousands of handmade terracotta pipe sections socketed together and cemented at the joints. The fact that the Nabataeans could marshal the resources and labor to construct this massive work is remarkable on its own, but the precision of its hydraulic engineering is even more impressive.

The slope of this pipeline consistently follows the very significant angle of approximately two degrees, which, according to the latest peer-reviewed research by Dr. Charles Ortloff of University of Chicago, maximizes flow rate for this specific pipeline. Deviation of even a single degree would cause a decrease in flow rate and frequent leakage. (For other supply lines, such as that along the Wadi Mousa, the optimal angle was four degrees.) How the Nabataeans had this knowledge baffles modern historians and engineers, as calculating this precise angle requires mathematics not developed in the west until nearly 2,000 years later. Petra’s water system also included hundreds of cisterns and tanks for water purification and pressurization.

Though the Nabataeans did not leave many written records, their sophisticated engineering knowledge enabled them to build a city brimming with gardens, fountains, and pools.

[Bishop Robert Barron @BishopBarron]

There was a line from Zohran Mamdani’s inaugural address yesterday that took my breath away. He said he intended to replace “the frigidity of rugged individualism with the warmth of collectivism.” Collectivism in its various forms is responsible for the deaths of at least one hundred million people in the last century. Socialist and Communist forms of government around the world today—Venezuela, Cuba, North Korea, etc.—are disastrous. Catholic social teaching has consistently condemned socialism and has embraced the market economy, which people like Mayor Mamdani caricature as “rugged individualism.” In fact, it is the economic system that is based upon the rights, freedom, and dignity of the human person. For God’s sake, spare me the “warmth of collectivism.”

I disagreed with nearly everything Rob Reiner believed politically, but I won’t celebrate his death.

His thoughts on Charlie Kirk were heartfelt and caring.

The Tomb of the Unknown Soldier

There are few places on this earth where silence speaks louder than words…
and the Tomb of the Unknown Soldier is one of them.

Each guard who walks that sacred marble path takes 21 steps… then pauses 21 seconds before turning…
The number is not random. It reflects the 21-gun salute—the highest military honor. Every step, every second, is deliberate… an unbroken rhythm of respect for those whose names are known only to God.

Their white gloves are kept moist… not for comfort, but so their grip on the rifle never slips.
The rifle itself always rests on the shoulder away from the tomb.. a silent shield between any harm and the Unknowns.

The change of guard happens every 30 minutes, day and night… through the heat of summer, the chill of winter, and the darkness of storm.
It has never stopped. Not once.
Not for war. Not for peace. Not for hurricanes.

Applicants for this duty must meet impossible standards:
They must stand between 5’10” and 6’2”, with a waist no greater than 30 inches.
They dedicate two full years of their lives to this post.
During that time, they live beneath the tomb itself in barracks.
They take an oath.. no alcohol, no profanity, and no public disgrace.. for the rest of their lives.
Only 400 soldiers in history have earned the wreath pin signifying service at the Tomb, and if they ever violate that sacred code, they must surrender it.

Their uniforms are immaculate… pressed and lint-free, examined in a mirror before every watch.
Their shoes are hand-crafted with metal plates to echo that crisp, unforgettable click with each halt.
They spend five hours a day preparing their attire.. an act of worship in cloth and leather.
During their first six months, they speak to no one.
They spend their off-duty hours memorizing the names and resting places of 175 notable souls interred at Arlington…
among them President Taft, Audie Murphy, and Joe E. Lewis.

And still, the sentinels march.

When Hurricane Isabel tore toward Washington in 2003, the guards were given permission to seek shelter.
They refused.
Their reply was simple and eternal:
“No way, Sir.”

Through sheets of rain and winds that toppled trees, they marched.
Because to them, guarding the Tomb is not a duty…
It is an honor beyond rank, beyond time, beyond life itself.

Since 1930, the Tomb has been guarded without interruption.. 24 hours a day, 365 days a year.

So when you see them walk.. each step measured, each movement mirrored.. know that you are witnessing devotion in its purest form…
the living embodiment of Duty, Honor, and Country.

Eternal rest grant unto them, O Lord,
and let perpetual light shine upon them.

IN GOD WE TRUST.
May we never forget.
