“Tend to your faith not just when you’re broken, but when you’re whole.”
Eric Church returned to his alma mater, UNC Chapel Hill, and gave graduates a message bigger than music:
The country star told graduates that faith is the “low E” of life: the foundation every chord rests on, especially when the world gets overwhelming.
A Mother's Day Letter to America
There are some things a man does not write about until he is old enough to understand what he was given. I decided since it is Mother’s Day, I am setting the news cycle aside for a moment, because some truths are bigger than the daily fight.
I grew up as one of nine children in a small house in Middletown, Rhode Island. My father was a hard man with a soft heart, and he never asked the country for anything he had not first given it. My mother, Helen, held the center of our home together through every season of our lives. She raised nine of us, fed us, clothed us, prayed over us, taught us right from wrong, and somehow still found the energy to fight for her community. She ran for office at the local level at a time when most women her age were told to stay quiet, and she refused to. She taught us to kneel before God and to stand before no man. She taught us that we serve the country that gave us life. She taught us that strength is measured by what we carry, not by what we complain about.
When I look back at every hard day I have ever had, and there have been more than a few, I hear her voice before I hear my own. That is what a mother does. She becomes the first sound in your conscience and the last voice in your prayers.
The Founders understood something that this culture has allowed itself to mock. They understood that the Republic does not begin in the Capitol. It begins at the kitchen table. It begins with the mother who teaches her child to read the Bible before he learns to read a screen. It begins with the woman who tells her son that lying is beneath him and that running from his duty is worse than failing at it.
John Adams said the Constitution was made for a moral and religious people and would be wholly inadequate for any other. The men who built that moral and religious people were trained at home, by their mothers, long before they ever sat in a classroom or stood in a regiment.
We have spent generations laughing at that woman.
Hollywood mocked her. The universities re-educated her daughters against her. The federal bureaucracy taxed her family until she had to leave the home she wanted to stay in. The technology companies took her children's attention and sold it to the highest bidder. Then the same culture that broke her down turned around and asked why our young people are anxious, fatherless, faithless, and unwilling to defend the country that raised them.
You cannot remove the mother from the Republic and expect the Republic to survive. It is that simple. It has always been that simple.
Fifth-generation warfare, the kind I have written about and warned about for years, is fought for the human mind. The terrain is the heart, the imagination, and the soul of a child. The first defender of that terrain is not a soldier. It is a mother. Every American mother who turns off the poison and reads to her child instead is defending the country. Every mother who walks her family into a church on Sunday is defending the country. Every mother who shows up at a school board meeting and refuses to sit down is defending the country. She is protecting the next generation of free citizens, and she is doing it with greater consequence than most of the officials elected to do the same job.
That is not sentimental language. It is an operational reality. The enemies of this country know it. They have studied it. They target the family because they understand that if the American family falls, the Nation falls behind it. Mothers are the front line. They have always been the front line.
I cannot write this without saying what needs to be said.
For ten years, my family carried a weight no family should ever have to carry. Ten years of investigation, of slander, of legal warfare waged by the most powerful institutions in this country against one American and the people who loved him. My wife, Lori, never broke. My sisters never broke. My daughters-in-law never broke. My mother, watching from heaven, never let me break either. If you have ever wondered what holds a man together when the full weight of a corrupt federal system is trying to crush him, I will tell you. It is not bravado. It is not press releases. It is a wife who looks you in the eye at the end of the worst day and tells you to keep going. It is the women in your life who refuse to let evil have the last word.
Everyone reading this knows a woman like that. Honor her today and every day after.
The Almighty did not make you for comfort. He made you for purpose. There is no purpose more sacred than the one He placed in your hands when He gave you a child.
Almighty God, on this Mother's Day, we thank You for the mothers of this Republic. Bless the mothers raising children in fatherless homes. Bless the mothers who buried a son or daughter in uniform. Bless the mothers who pray through the night for a child who has lost his way. Bless the mothers who walk into school board meetings shaking and walk out unbroken. Bless the mothers in heaven who still watch over us, including my own. Strengthen them, protect them, and use them, Lord, to raise up the next generation of patriots this Nation will need. In Your Holy Name we pray, Amen.
To every mother reading this, thank you. You are the reason this Republic still has a fighting chance.
Happy Mother's Day.
ATTENTION!
On this special day, the 4th of July, 2025, let us NEVER FORGET what this day truly represents.
America endured a BOLD Beginning and I want to provide a reminder of Who We Are and What It Takes to STAY FREE.
On July 4, 1776, a courageous idea changed the course of human history. A group of defiant colonists declared that freedom was not a privilege handed down by monarchs but a God-given right.
A small band of patriots signed the Declaration of Independence. In doing so, they declared a radical idea: that liberty isn’t granted by kings, but endowed by our Creator, God Almighty.
They pledged their lives, fortunes, and sacred honor to a cause greater than
themselves. It was an experiment risky and uncertain but rooted in moral courage and an unshakable belief in freedom. They didn’t just write about liberty. They bled for it. And that same spirit of sacrifice has echoed through every American generation since.
You can’t speak honestly about the Fourth of July without honoring those who have defended it, our men and women in uniform.
From the ragtag Continental Army that stood up to the most powerful empire in the
world, to the modern warrior defending freedom in every corner of the globe, the American military has always been the shield that protects the promise of July 4th. Every flag waving proudly today does so because someone stood ready to defend it.
Those who wear the uniform have bought and safeguarded every right we enjoy, free speech, faith, voting, and living as we choose.
Our military doesn’t just defend borders, it defends America’s virtues.
On this day, we must remember: Freedom isn’t free. It never has been. America is more than a place. It’s an idea that must be renewed, lived out, and passed on.
Military families know this truth deeply. They endure long deployments, shoulder the burden of war, and return to their homes forever changed. And they do it out of love for country,
freedom, and one another.
Their sacrifices aren’t just for Memorial Day or Veterans Day. It’s woven into the meaning of Independence Day. Every firework is a tribute not just to our birth, but to our survival.
This isn’t about politics. This is about patriotism.
It’s about gratitude for the past, the present, and the defenders of our future.
Stand for something greater so this Independence Day, remember that our freedom was won through valor… and
preserved through vigilance.
Let’s teach our children that the American flag stands for more than a holiday. It stands for sacrifice, unity, and an enduring dream worth defending.
And let us each recommit to the bold spirit of liberty that lit the fuse of revolution nearly 250 years ago.
To our troops, our veterans, and their families, THANK YOU. Your service is the reason we celebrate.
Happy Independence Day.
May we never take it for granted.
“We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life,
Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness.” – Declaration of Independence, 1776
May God continue to Bless and Protect America 🙏🏼🇺🇸
Joe Rogan: Twitter was complete nonsense. The whole thing was just a psyop. We all owe Elon Musk a huge debt. When he bought Twitter, he changed the conversations in the country, because all of a sudden people were free.
Congratulations @JudgeJeanine I can’t wait to watch you excel once again in this divinely orchestrated, you stop on your path. You were created for such a time as this. Thank you for your willingness to serve our country. @realDonaldTrump thank you for being tough on the crime!
LIVE RIGHT NOW: "My voice should be heard loud and clear. No more tolerance of hatred. No more mercy for criminals. Violence will be addressed directly with the appropriate punishment." - @JudgeJeanine
@_ItsSavannah_ You honored your mother and father well and your God. There will always be evil in this world - ignore it and move forward in complete freedom and joy for your family. Most people who were paying attention know exactly what you did to secure your parents release. You advocated!

The GoFundMe got canceled, and all of the money was returned for some crazy reason like he violated some terms… this guy really can’t get a break Liberal organizations hate truth!
Memorial Day isn’t about barbecues or beach days—it’s about those American heroes who gave everything for our freedom.
THIS 70-SECOND VIDEO CAPTURES WHAT THE DAY IS TRULY ABOUT. 🇺🇸
Theophany is an encounter with god. We need to recognize these moments in our life.
And demonphany- direct moments with a demon. Real. Not uncommon.
See both.

This is the story of my great friend @TbartonJMJ this should never happen to anyone in America. @EagleEdMartin move this case up to the top! @realDonaldTrump we could use some of your magic here! @POTUS@JesseBWatters I know you are watching this case please reach out!
This is a wild story about weaponized government out of Texas where a pro-Trump real estate developer and his family are being targeted by Biden era DOJ officials and the CCP, and they have lost everything even though they haven’t had a trial.
Tim Barton, the man at the center of the case, wrote an op Ed about his ordeal and what’s happening to him in Texas of all places. It was published today on my website.
