Never before has a multimillionaire who owns Martha’s Vinyard beachfront property and served two terms as First Lady complained so much.

Michelle Obama is insufferable.

I have no problem with Islam. I am just against beheadings, stoning, marrying little girls, sexual slavery, taqiyya,slave trading, rape, jihad, burqas, child abuse, women abuse, animal abuse,multiple wives, murder, Sharia,terrorism, brainwashing, . Does that make me Islamophobic?

I’m now on my husband’s insurance and so far ordering my MS medicine has been much easier. The out of pocket has gone from $1,000 dollars a month to $125 which will be covered by the manufacturer. Can someone explain to me why some insurance companies make it so difficult for patients to order/have access to their treatment?

Just a reminder of how Ron DeSantis feels of Byron Donalds.

“You got a guy like Byron, he just hasn’t been part of any of the victories we’ve had here [florida] over the left, over these last years”

Any chance Ron DeSantis endorses someone in the primary?

Imagine going to church, the pastor is murdered, the congregation kidnapped, and it looks like the government was in on it.

That's the situation for our brothers and sisters in Nigeria.

Ron DeSantis: "When I see the Mamdanis of the world, they're basically offering these ideas, they claim they're progressive. They're really regressive. These are things that the founding fathers rejected!"

🚨#BREAKING: Police are asking the public's help to find the people who RIPPED DOWN AMERICAN FLAGS honoring a fallen Marine who earned TWO Purple Hearts in Afghanistan from his memorial bridge in Massachusetts...

...the day before America's 250th birthday.

This is the 2ND TIME they have been ripped down with the grommets ripped out and the flags were shredded at the seams.

Lance Corporal William Joseph Donovan Jr. earned TWO Purple Hearts in Afghanistan for for working with a team clearing roads of improvised explosive devices in Helmand province.

Don't worry... the community has already replaced the flags and they say no matter what, they will ALWAYS make sure the American flags fly on his bridge.

"You can tear down a flag, but you cannot tear down what it stands for."

While today’s politicians pledge nothing and risk even less…

56 men in 1776 pledged their lives, their fortunes, and their sacred honor.

And they delivered.

No empty virtue signals.

No safe spaces or excuses

Just raw courage and total commitment.

Zero defectors.

That’s how freedom was purchased.

We owe them everything. Never forget. 🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸

🚨 WOW! VP JD Vance CALLS OUT Supreme Court Justice Amy Coney Barrett for upholding birthright citizenship for illegal aliens

REPORTER: Some conservatives are angry with Barrett. Are you one of them?

VANCE: "Do I think she made a mistake in the ruling? I do! I don't know how ANYBODY can say that if a person who is an illegal alien or a person, for example, who's pregnant and comes to the United States on a vacation, they have a baby and all of a sudden their entire family gets the benefits of American citizenship?!"

"I DON'T think that's what the framers of the 14th Amendment had in mind. I don't think it's the right case."

"But look, it was 5-4. Sometimes the Supreme Court makes mistakes. We're going to try to correct that mistake, but nobody's perfect, including the Supreme Court."

[Echoes of War @EchoesofWarYT]

21 years ago today, on June 28, 2005, four Navy SEALs were inserted under cover of darkness into the Hindu Kush mountains of Afghanistan, a place so high and so cold the clouds drift below your feet. Their mission was to find a Taliban commander hiding in the village of Sawtalo Sar. Their names were Michael Murphy, Danny Dietz, Matthew Axelson, and Marcus Luttrell.

By morning, fate walked right up the mountain to meet them. A goat herder and a boy wandered straight into their hidden position. The team had a choice no man should ever have to make: kill unarmed civilians, or let them go and risk everything. They let them go. Within an hour, the mountain came alive with rifle fire.

What happened next is almost too brutal to put into words. Dozens of fighters swarmed the high ground above them. The four men fought their way down a near vertical slope, throwing themselves off ledges and cliffs to escape the fire, breaking bones, tearing flesh, leaving blood on the rocks, and still turning to shoot. One by one they were hit. Still they fought. They would not stop. They would not surrender.

Their radios could not reach the base down in the valley. They were screaming for help into dead air. And so Lieutenant Michael Murphy did something that should never be forgotten. He stood up. He walked out of the rocks and into open ground, into the full teeth of the enemy, with bullets cracking past him on every side, just to get a clear signal. He was shot in the back while making that call. He dropped the radio, picked it back up, finished the call, and said thank you. Then he kept fighting until he could fight no more. That single act of courage is the only reason the world ever learned their names.

Help came screaming up the valley. An MH-47 Chinook, call sign Red Wings 11, packed with eight more SEALs and eight Army Night Stalkers of the legendary 160th SOAR, refused to wait for gunship cover. Their brothers were dying and they would not sit still for it. As the bird flared over the ridge, a single rocket propelled grenade flew through the open rear ramp. The explosion tore the aircraft apart in the sky. All sixteen men aboard were killed the instant it hit the mountain.

Three on the ground. Sixteen in the air. Nineteen American sons gone in a single afternoon. It remains the worst loss of life in Naval Special Warfare history since World War II.

Michael Murphy was posthumously awarded the Medal of Honor. Danny Dietz and Matthew Axelson received the Navy Cross. Marcus Luttrell, blown off a cliff and shredded by shrapnel, was the only one to come home. He survived because a Pashtun villager named Mohammad Gulab found him broken in a ravine and, under an ancient code of honor older than the country these men died for, stood between him and the Taliban and refused to give him up.

Twenty one years later, do not let these be just names on a screen. They had mothers. They had wives. They had children who grew up with a flag folded into a triangle instead of a father. They chose each other over their own lives on a mountain most people will never even hear of.

So today, say their names out loud. All nineteen of them 🇺🇸

[Jay Collins @JayCollinsFL]

If we start acting like Washington, we stop being Florida.

That's the truth.

The insider deals.

The managed outcomes.

The political games.

That's not who we are.

And I'm not going to let us become that.

@sarahadams That’s so disappointing that he won’t debate other candidates.
