GUILTY.
A Texas jury just found Karmelo Anthony guilty of MURDER in the stabbing death of 17-year-old Austin Metcalf.
The "self-defense" claim collapsed instantly. The teammates who were there told the truth. The evidence was overwhelming.
Anthony brought a knife to a track meet and plunged it into the chest of an unarmed boy who died in his twin brother's arms.
The jury saw right through it.
This is the justice system at work.
🚨 NOW: The US Senate has officially PASSED legislation to surge ICE into arresting illegal alien criminals INSIDE sanctuary cities as Democrats release them from prison — a measure from Sen. Eric Schmitt
LONG OVERDUE, COMMON SENSE!
No more sanctuary BS.
SCHMITT: "We got that done, $70 billion. That'll be for BP and ICE. There's my provision that for the first time now allows ICE to pick up criminal illegal aliens as they're being released from prison in sanctuary cities."
"Yes, that's happening. R*pists, m*rderers where illegal aliens are being released by the Democrats in sanctuary jurisdictions."
"And so now we're going to deport these people. So a big reform that's in this. And we got it done despite the Democrats' obstruction." @Eric_Schmitt

PERSONAL UPDATE
Been working on a project with my friend CJay Engel and happy to announce I'm co-founding Rockwells, an American Owned Gas Station, General Store and Diner.
Been a long time dream of mine to revitalize the local, rural and American. For me to sleep at night, I need my kids to know that their Dad is working to preserve their inheritance both culturally and otherwise. Rockwells is a piece of that.
There will be plenty of ways to support no matter where you reside but give us a follow for more updates. Onward!
They ruled Iryna’s killer is incompetent to stand trial.
The same system ruled this man was plenty competent enough to be released back into society dozens of times.
It’s past time to remove these left wing activist judges.
This right here is exactly why Ron DeSantis is the best governor in America.
While the rest of the country is drowning in Pride garbage, Florida just officially declared June as Faith and Family Month.
No more corporate rainbow BS. No more sexualizing kids. No more pretending perversion is a virtue.
We’re officially putting faith, family, and fatherhood first — exactly where they belong.
This is what a real leader looks like.
It’s gonna be a sad damn day when DeSantis leaves office. Florida hit the jackpot with this man.
Thank you, Governor. Keep cooking. 🙏🐊
🚨 BOOM! Dr. King DROPS THE MIC on abortionists 🫳🏻🎤
REP. BRANDON GILL: Dr. King, are pro-lifers white supremacists?
DR. ALVEDA KING: Pro-lifers cannot be white supremacists...white supremacists are PLANNED PARENTHOOD who ADMITTED they do have racist underpinnings with an agenda to reduce the black population by abortion. We have been aborted as blacks in America disproportionately.
"Pro-lifers believe in life from the womb to the tomb and beyond. Pro-lifers fight for every baby in the womb, regardless of skin color."
👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
People demanding "proof" of election fraud are not understanding how crime works. I worked at Manhattan DA for over 2 years, one in Homicide. We never had video proof of the crime. We almost never had DNA. These are things that occur on CSI on TV, not in real life. And we still convicted people all the time.
What we had was testimony and circumstantial evidence. Travel times, bank records, cell phone data, gate access codes. Motive, capability, benefit, time and place. Never direct proof. Of course the defendant always denied the crime, but there was enough evidence to show that one had to have occurred nonetheless.
If what we have in the LA Mayoral election is a statistical anomaly that is beyond reasonable explanation with anything besides fraud, that is enough to prove a crime. This has been true since the beginning of Western Civlization.
In 2 Chronicles, we're told that King Hezekiah built a tunnel to bring water safely into Jerusalem before an Assyrian invasion. Then archaeologists found the tunnel. And inside it, they found an inscription left by the workers who dug it nearly 2,700 years ago.
12-year-old boy who fought back against his school for pushing a book about changing genders speaks alongside President Trump at the Museum of the Bible:
"I've been a Christian my whole life, and Jesus means everything to me."
"I knew this was not right, but I was afraid of getting in trouble."
"After my family spoke up, the school treated us badly and kids started bullying me and my brother because of our faith."
FOLLOW ME, THE NEXT DROP WILL BE SHOCKING @John17thletter_
So let's get this straight --
Fears about A.I. eliminating cubicle jobs leads to protests fighting Big Tech over building data centers ...
BUT...
Big Tech building data centers and keeping them powered and running is leading an unprecedented Blue Collar jobs boom....
So Blue Collar jobs are eliminating White Collar jobs....
What goes around comes around.....
I say this as a career pilot. If you’re planning on flying commercially:
1) know the airline. They are not all created equal.
2) know the equipment (aircraft) type. Generally speaking, the bigger, the safer.
3) the cheapest ticket is not the best ticket. It’s usually the worst.
4) Different airlines have different aircraft maintenance. The big ones “usually” use in-house employees (way better). The cheaper airlines subcontract theirs, normally to Mexico.
It was April 30, 2019. The kind of ordinary Tuesday that nobody remembers — until they do.
Inside a classroom at the University of North Carolina at Charlotte, students were finishing end-of-semester presentations. Laptops were open. Notes were scattered across desks. It felt like any other day at the end of a semester.
Then everything changed.
A gunman entered the room and opened fire. In an instant, normal life gave way to panic. Students rushed for exits, ducked behind desks, and searched desperately for safety.
Most people ran from the danger.
Riley Howell ran toward it.
At 21 years old, the ROTC cadet had no weapon, no protective gear, and no time to think through a plan. He saw what was happening and reacted.
He charged the shooter.
The tackle was sudden, direct, and decisive. Howell threw himself into the struggle, forcing the gunman off balance and disrupting the attack at its most critical moment.
He was shot multiple times.
But the shooting stopped.
Later, investigators confirmed what many already suspected. The gunman himself admitted that Howell's actions ended the attack. Police also discovered multiple loaded magazines that had never been used.
The attack could have lasted much longer.
It didn't.
Because Riley Howell acted.
The tragedy still claimed lives. Fellow student Ellis Reed Parlier was also killed, and several others were wounded. Families were forever changed by what happened that day.
But amid the grief, one fact remained impossible to ignore.
Riley Howell's decision saved lives.
The story quickly spread beyond the university. People across the country saw in him something rare — courage without hesitation, action without certainty, sacrifice without expectation of reward.
He was buried with full military honors. He also became the first civilian ever to receive the Charlotte-Mecklenburg Police Department's Medal of Valor.
Yet his legacy was never about medals.
He wasn't on a battlefield. He wasn't wearing a uniform in combat.
He was a student sitting in a classroom.
And when others needed time, Riley Howell gave them his.
There is no formula for that kind of courage.
There is only character.
And on an ordinary Tuesday, Riley Howell showed the world exactly what that looks like.
Constitution Pipeline would deliver affordable, durable natural gas from Pennsylvania, through New York, and on to millions of New Englanders who desperately need it and have been relying on foreign energy sources and higher prices. Bizarrely, NY Governor Kathy Hochul has been yet again rejecting basic common sense and blocking this vital project. The pipeline is so critical for the region to get built!
This is absolute garbage.
Almost all uniformed military and Department of War civilians are overjoyed at the dramatically positive and necessary changes that Hegseth and his team have implemented.
The only people who think like this "journalist" describes are so-called "resistors" who place their own judgment over the Constitutional, lawful will of the electorate they are supposed to serve. They know they are doing wrong, so they try to hide it.

🚨 BREAKING: Trump HUD Sec. Scott Turner is formally moving to BAN illegal aliens' families from getting taxpayer housing that could otherwise go to US citizens
WHY WAS THIS EVER HAPPENING?!
Tens of THOUSANDS of illegals or fraudsters in 20K homes! 🤯
"Turner says he will close that loophole to free up funding for AMERICAN families in need."
Additionally, 200K tenants have not proven they are even eligible.
TURNER: "American tax dollars are meant to be for AMERICAN PEOPLE...illegals are taking homes from the American people!"
"We will close this loophole down."
GREIF, GUILT & GRACE….
One month into this journey without our son Evan, and the Lord is teaching me in ways I never wanted to learn.
Grief — It hasn’t gotten easier. It never hurts less… it just hurts less often. The waves still crash in without warning. Some days the ache feels as raw as May 8th. I stand at his grave and I miss him with everything in me. But even in the sorrow, I’m learning to lament honestly before the Lord while refusing to grieve as those who have no hope (1 Thessalonians 4:13). Evan is with Jesus — fully alive, fully free, completely healed. That doesn’t erase the pain of his absence, but it anchors my soul.
Guilt — This one has been sneaking up on me. Life is slowly trying to find a “new normal,” and I feel the pull to step back into the rhythms of ministry. I posted about preaching in Australia this weekend, and while I’m genuinely looking forward to being with God’s people there, it sent my spirit sideways. How can I go preach while my heart is still shattered? There’s this uninvited guilt that says I shouldn’t be moving forward, that I should still be completely undone.
I know in my head that this guilt is not from the Lord. Evan loved the Gospel. He would want me preaching it. The Great Commission didn’t come with an expiration date on grief. But the heart takes longer than the head sometimes. So I’m laying that false guilt at the feet of Jesus and choosing obedience over emotion.
Grace — And here is where the Lord is blowing my mind. His grace is rising in the most unexpected and powerful way. In the middle of the grief and the guilt, the sustaining grace of God is not just holding me up — it is lifting me higher. His strength is being made perfect in my weakness. His comfort is deeper than the sorrow. His joy is breaking through in the most tender moments. The same resurrection power that raised Jesus from the dead is at work in us who believe (Ephesians 1:19-20), and I’m feeling it in fresh measure.
Grace says it’s okay to laugh again.
Grace says it’s okay to preach again.
Grace says the same God who carried me through the darkest valley will carry me onto the next assignment.
I don’t have it all figured out. I’m still crying, still processing, still leaning hard on the prayers of the saints. But I’m also more convinced than ever that Jesus is enough. His grace is sufficient. His mercy is new every morning. And even this — yes, even this — will be woven into His beautiful story for His glory.
If you’re walking through grief, guilt, or any heavy season right now… you’re not alone. The God of all grace is with you. Keep holding on. Keep trusting. The same power that sustains me is available for you.
