WATCH: Hollywood actor Anthony Mackie dropped the absolute truth bomb: "For the past 20 years, we’ve been living through the death of the American male, they’ve killed masculinity in our communities…"
When I was Muslim, man, this verse used to mess me up.
Jesus on the cross saying, “My God, my God, why have you forsaken me?”
As a Muslim, I used to think: how does God feel forsaken by God? That sounds like weakness. That sounds like a prophet in pain.
But then I dug deeper.
And I realized Jesus was not speaking randomly. He was quoting Psalm 22.
That entire Psalm, written by King David centuries before Christ, is a prophecy about the crucifixion:
“They pierce my hands and feet.”
“They divide my garments among them.”
“All who see me mock me.”
In Jewish culture, quoting the first line of a Psalm pointed people to the entire passage.
So Jesus was not crying out in confusion.
He was declaring fulfillment.
He was saying: “This is that.”
And at the same time, He was carrying the full weight of sin, shame, abandonment, and suffering for humanity.
Every moment humanity has cried out, “God, where are you?” Christ stepped into that pain Himself.
That is not weakness.
That is intentional.
That is prophecy unfolding in real time.
That is the King bleeding on purpose so humanity could be brought near to God.
That is the Gospel.
On January 6th I followed the crowd into the Capitol and shouted. Police stood by the whole time, hanging out with us and sometimes directing us places.
At one point near the House Chambers I was walking downstairs when a trio of some special section, secret service looking men started pointing guns in my direction.
Confused and annoyed, I walked the other way and when I saw a normal police officer asked him why they were doing that.
He informed me a protestor (Ashli Babbit) had been killed, and advised me to leave the building.
I walked towards the exit and after a short rest on the bench I left.
I harmed nobody and damaged no property that day and complied with all police orders.
What I received for that was a pre-dawn raid at my parents house, where my 1 month post-partum wife and I were staying, on Biden's first day in office. His DOJ had signed the order to arrest me 3 hours after his inauguration.
In the subsequent weeks I received death threats online and harassing phone calls, something that would be ongoing for the next few years.
I was banned from Meta and Paypal. My wife and I were both debanked by PNC and banned from Airbnb. My wife was detained at the airport for hours with our newborn daughter.
I was charged with 4 misdemeanors and the 1512 unconstitutional felony. The government offered to drop the misdemeanors if I pled to the felony. The felony was a lie, so I refused and went to trial.
At trial the prosecution for 2 days straight was allowed to show footage to the jury of things that occurred around the Capitol I wasn't present for "for context." When we asked to put forward footage that contradicted the prosecution's "context" we were not allowed. They could show what they wanted, we could not.
Police officers were then put on the stand for the next 2 days who cried about their experiences. I had no idea who they were. They admitted they never saw me or interacted with me.
Nevertheless like every other J6er, I lost, and was sentenced to 4 years and $22k in fines and restitution. Yet even after the Supreme Court overturned the felony, the judge would not let me out until my misdemeanor sentences of a year were maxed out. Because she can't count she actually kept me in longer - to the extent she intervened at the last minute to make the prison release me on a Sunday, something that is against BOP rules. My family sat outside the prison gates the Friday before practically the whole day waiting in vain because of this pettiness.
But the government wasn't satisfied with their pound of flesh: after my release they took me back in for resentencing, to attempt to have me resentenced after the fact to my misdemeanors consecutively, so I'd be taken from my family again and have another 1.5 years behind bars. This time I won, as they had no legal precedent and it skirted on violating double jeopardy since I had served my full prison time. Even still, it cast a cloud over the holidays and cost me another 20k my family couldn't afford.
People ask whether prison was bad, and yeah of course prison sucked. It was a hard and violent place. I was present for a stabbing, and was lucky to avoid two fights and a race war.
But dealing with Biden's DOJ and the DC Judiciary was the real trauma - they would grind down your spirit by weaponizing the legal system and use the endless procedure to bankrupt you. I had nightmares for months after release that I had somehow been hit with new charges.
By the time I was pardoned by President Trump, I had spent literally every single day of Biden's presidency either in prison or under some form of supervision. I had incurred over $300k in legal fees and over $1 million in lost business.
It was a reign of terror, and yet it was a mere foreshadowing of what they had planned for anyone else who opposed them under Kamala. The country should never forget it.
For over a decade, I thought I had a male brain in a female body. In other words, I considered myself 🏳️⚧️ transgender.
Now, I’ve quit my gender transition, and have decided to go on a health and weight loss journey. I’ve lost over 40 pounds and I’m close to my goal weight.
With every pound I’ve lost, I become even more shocked that I managed to bind my chest for as long as I did.
The measures I took as an adolescent to ‘correct’ this gender incongruence have destroyed my upper body- both in form and in function.
I have a nerve injury, horribly flared ribs, damaged breast tissue, no positive sensation in the area, weakened skin, decreased lung capacity, severe left side back and neck pain…. Just to name a few.
Shapewear can hide quite a few of these things. But there are certain things that even multiple layers of shapewear can’t hide.
None of the trans adults guiding me and other known minors online about how to bind our breasts in secret, told us that any of this could happen to us. The most they said was to not bind with an ace bandage specifically, because then you can crack a rib. Everything else, the said, was safe if you do it no more than 10-12 hours a day. Years later, that number changed to eight hours.
Why? Because they’re making it up as they go along.
What they did not warn me or my peers about was that all breast binding done for a gender affirming purpose is inherently unsafe, and even more so when it is done by someone whose upper body (breasts, lungs, heart, ribs, spine etc) are still actively growing.
Because the trans community is still overwhelmingly buying into the notion that things like breast binding can be done safely for months or years at a time, without any evidence supporting their claim, kids are still getting hurt.
If the blatant lies that were told to me as a 12 year old girl in 2011/2012 weren’t continually peddled by online & irl trans communities, I would have nothing to speak out about.
But truthfully, breast binding is one of those practices that everyone still thinks is ok to lie about the harms of.
Parents are still buying their daughters breast binders thinking that they are “safe and reversible” or that these medical devices used for post surgical recovery are somehow “just pieces of clothing.” This includes parents who are already concerned about the medical harms of gender transition, but think that breast binding is a good compromise. It is NOT. It is actively hurting your growing kids.
Gender clinics promote these practices as being safe.
Schools still give out these dangerous medical devices to children without their parents’ knowledge. These are all big problems.
Take my story as a cautionary tale. Using multiple layers of shapewear, I might look ‘normal.’
Underneath it all, my left scapula aches before sending tingling sensations and then numbness down my left arm, whenever I stand or walk too long, or whenever I use a small shoulder bag. I’m almost 27, and I need a neck brace just to sleep. I cannot take deep breaths without pain. My ribs constantly feel like they’re hooking onto things underneath me when I’m lying on my side. That is in fact a very painful experience. There is no positive sensation in my chest and the entire area is deformed.
Gender affirming breast binding is NEVER harmless, nor does it cause damage which is easily reversible, or which is reversible at all. Most of this damage is not ‘a broken rib that will heal on its own.
It is done with no end in sight, and not under the strict supervision of a doctor monitoring the patient (as they would be in the case where a maximum of six weeks of binding is the post surgical recovery protocol).
It’s time that we all take the harms of gender affirming breast binding seriously. Not one study has shown that it can be done safely.
REPOST to raise awareness
🚨 OMG. Rep. Jamie Raskin (D) just got HUMILIATED by 16-year-old patriot Marco Hunter-Lopez, despite Raskin CONSTANTLY cutting him off during the Sharia Law hearing
RASKIN: Jefferson described in the letter to Danbury Baptist—
LOPEZ: That's a letter, not a law.
RASKIN: So your position is that America is a theocracy?!
LOPEZ: You didn't let me finish my original statement. What I am saying is we need to acknowledge—
*Raskin does more interrupting*
LOPEZ: We do need to acknowledge our Christian heritage in America.
RASKIN: You can't impose an establishment of religion on other people.
LOPEZ: I didn't suggest that at ALL.
RASKIN: Everyone can acknowledge their own heritage.
LOPEZ: AMERICAN HERITAGE.
RASKIN: ...Muslim heritage?
LOPEZ: I'm saying MEMBERS OF CONGRESS need to acknowledge American heritage.
*Raskin gets flustered*

BREAKING: Notice has just been given to Democrats in the Tennessee House that all members of the Democrat Caucus are being removed from all standing committees and subcommittees as a result of their behavior in the statehouse during the redistricting debates last week, which included setting fires inside the Capitol and attacking law enforcement.
In the state of Tennessee, political terrorism will not be tolerated. National Republicans take note that this is how you exercise power.
Meet Judge Deadra Jefferson of South Carolina.
She handed a child predator a one-day sentence for possessing nearly 1,900 images and videos of children being sexually abused. He was facing sixty years in prison. He served twenty-four hours.
Judge Jefferson was elected to the bench by the South Carolina Legislature in 1996, under the same lawyer-legislator system that still hand-picks the judges who rule on cases brought by their own colleagues.
This is what is broken in South Carolina's courts.
I’ve gone head-to-head with the South Carolina judicial system, and I’m running for governor to FIX this mess.

I am an American nurse. I worked the ER through COVID.
I am going to tell you what I saw. Not what the news said. Not what the agencies said. What I saw with my own eyes, in the hospitals where I worked.
The story you were told and the story we lived were two different stories.
The hospitals were empty.
Empty triage. Empty units. Whole floors closed. Nurses sent home with reduced hours. The inappropriate TikTok videos of nurses dancing in PPE came out of those weeks because there was nothing else to do.
The exception were the urban centers — New York, parts of LA etc— where people live stacked and respiratory illness moves fast.
The rest of the country was a ghost town being filmed as a war zone.

I wasn’t happy when Clinton, Obama or Biden won, but I didn’t call them fascist/dangerous/threat to democracy. I didn’t hope someone would assassinate them. I went on with my life with gratitude. Friends on the left, please try this. Your life and our country will be better.
This former liberal is done with the lunatics,
DONE with the Trump derangement syndrome,
DONE with the Left, completely unwilling to give him credit for his actions, which they themselves benefit from.
The time to realize you were on the side of violence and hate has long sense passed.
Your ignorance and hate continues to put innocent people at risk.
You put my family at risk.
You put our president at risk which puts our entire country at risk.
You put pregnant women at risk.
You ignore victims every single day, including children.
You mock them.
I am DONE.
I will pray for you, but I will no longer empathize.
WE ARE NOT THE SAME.
HOLY MACRO!
Unhinged immigrant driver completely lost her sh*t on a passenger just for comforting her over watching a show on her phone while driving.
Right after, the driver accused the customer of speaking too loud and called her a “rich American white b*tch” and went on a full rant about how she works all day and only makes $50, saying she’s tired.
Lyft got contacted and is now reviewing the incident.
Democrats sold these immigrants the American Dream but conveniently forgot to tell them you actually gotta work for it, especially in Gavin Newsom’s California.
A Canadian man is going viral for refusing to accept Canadian healthcare’s only option for his wife’s stage four ovarian cancer, medical assisted dying, choosing instead to flee to the United States for treatment, where doctors began immediate care, leading to near total remission.
Imagine fishing for hours and not catching any fish. Not one.
Now it’s dark, cold.
You’re hungry, thirsty, tired, bones aching, disappointed, beating up on yourself, wishing you never came.
You’ve given up.
You know everyone’s back home depending on you and now you have to deliver disappointing news.
Then out of nowhere, your best friend appears.
You tell him you came in vain—
you caught no fish.
He tells you to try again on the right side.
You look at him like he’s gotta be crazy.
You’ve been there for hours, you know for a fact the net will be empty when it comes back up again.
You do it anyway…
and would ya look @ that…
Net full.
Do you realize that your best friend is the final boss?
The one who loves & adores you is in charge.
The ocean waves turn which ever way he commands.
The hearts of the Kings are in his hands.
My goodness, I love him so much.
🎼What a friend we have in Jesus🎶
🎼All our sins & griefs to bear🎶
