You are being manipulated.

[Derek Hanson @dhh2]

@davidaxelrod @POTUS Maybe because they were running a shadow government (their words) against him?

[Derek Hanson @dhh2]

@JoshuaLisec Only when you include unhealthy, abusive parents in the set. No other family structure comes close to a healthy, biological, married mom and dad. There is no comparison.

So good.

[Flopping Aces @FloppingAces]

Despair is the Left’s religion, and every cable-news studio is one of its cathedrals.

Every election is “the end of democracy.” Every thunderstorm is “the climate crisis.” Every disagreement is “violence.” Every Republican is Hitler, every budget cut is mass murder, and every progressive policy failure is proof that the policy was not progressive enough.

What a convenient faith.

No miracles are ever required. No results are ever measured. No prophet is ever held accountable. When the reform creates a disaster, the congregation simply demands a larger reform, a bigger bureaucracy, and another trillion dollars for the experts who caused the first disaster.

Then they light a candle, clutch their pearls, and announce that the universe may not survive the next Trump tweet.

Conservatives have no business joining this cult of theatrical misery.

Yes, the country has real problems. The institutions are rotten. The media is dishonest. The bureaucracy is arrogant. The culture is being vandalized by people who mistake destruction for compassion.

But realism is not despair.

Conservatives are supposed to understand that human beings are flawed, utopian schemes fail, and every government “solution” arrives dragging a parade of unintended consequences behind it. We can call the rot by its name without collapsing into a fetal position beneath the television.

Stand up. Laugh at the absurdity. Defend what remains. Yell “Stop” when history is marching toward a cliff.

The Left can keep worshiping panic.

We have a civilization to save.

Abdullah, the Garland man.

[FBI Director Kash Patel @FBIDirectorKash]

Over the weekend the Foreign Transfer of Custody is the 23rd such removal in just the last month – a historic run for this FBI in returning and repatriating alleged criminals to face American justice.

The subject Abdullah Anwar is allegedly part of a money laundering network that has been linked to over $1 billion in losses over a 5-year span - on the run since 2021 after FBI Dallas undertook a sweeping, global operation targeting fraudulent identity production operations, counterfeit device factories, transit/cargo theft rings, and more.

The investigation resulted in Anwar ultimately being indicted on charges of conspiracy to transport stolen property, conspiracy to commit mail fraud, wire fraud, and money laundering. While Anwar fled the country after the indictment, thanks to our brilliant partners, CIRG personnel, and more – he is on the run no longer.

@BasedHypnotist Right! When I read that headline, my first thought was, "Tennessee is sick of people moving there and is trying to make it stop."

@Babygravy9 When I was a kid, I and all my friends had Michael Jordan posters covering our walls. Then I got a little older, and picked up golf so I could be Tiger Woods.

@realpeteyb123 I hope you find a new reason. What you bring to this app is so valuable.

Could it be reason enough to transform people in one corner of this app?

Why do we need the word "transgender" in this sentence? What does that word mean? And how does it add relevance to the topic?

This deserves a re-tweet

[Chief Egregore Officer @ChiefEgregore]

This is what I wish the Trump Admin would say:

We do not agree with the ruling handed down by the Supreme Court today. We do not always agree with the Supreme Court, but this case is different. The Supreme Court's ruling today is not just wrong, but has implications which ultimately threaten to permanently deprive the American People of their nationhood and sovereignty.

While the Supreme Court has long claimed Judicial Supremacy, meaning that they proclaim themselves to have the final say on all matters with respect to the law, and while this is generally accepted within normal times, there is historical precedent for the Executive to overrule the Supreme Court in matters of supreme national interest. We believe this is one of those critical moments where the Executive must exercise his check on the powers of the Judiciary to not uphold their rulings with the force of the Executive Branch.

The Judicial Branch is the least representative of the people as it is the only branch of the State which is not democratically selected. The President, by contrast, consistently gets the most electoral turnout within our political system, meaning the office of the President and the mandate he was elected on are generally the most representative of the actual will of the American People.

The Supreme Court ruling today not only frustrates the delivery of that mandate, but is so outrageous in its implications for our national sovereignty and security that to allow this interpretation to stand would be irresponsible if not outright suicidal for our nation.

And so the Office of the President, empowered by the sovereignty entrusted to him by the American people, in this case has concluded it must exercise that sovereignty to decide the exception. We must take exception to the Judicial Supremacy clause binding the other branches to the Supreme Courts rulings.

The Trump administration does not recognize this ruling as valid, and will enforce Executive Order 14160, "Protecting the Meaning and Value of American Citizenship," as originally ordered.

The Court has made their ruling. Now let them enforce it.

Thank you for your attention to this matter.
