This assault on our country, our values and our freedom began long ago and has many faces. A free people, we were fat & happy and asleep at the wheel.

They didn’t steal our freedoms. We gave them away.

Now we are taking them back.

Israel is behind the hatred of Muslims and Islam in general.

The 250,000 girls raped in the UK by Pakistani Muslims have nothing to do with it.

The thousands of Islamic terror attacks have nothing to do with it.

Fourteen centuries of Islamic conquest have nothing to do with it.

9/11 has nothing to do with it.

Eighty years of religious war against the tiny, only Jewish state has nothing to do with it.

The 57 Islamic countries that were once 100% non-Islamic have nothing to do with it.

The divine mandate to take over the world and establish the caliphate has nothing to do with it.

The killing of artists who draw Muhammad has nothing to do with it.

The killing of apostates has nothing to do with it.

The killing of authors has nothing to do with it.

Turning women into property has nothing to do with it.

Sex slavery and the mass murder of the enemies of Allah have nothing to do with it.

It was Israel.

You know, like the smell of rain nearby, upwind, coming your way. You’ve smelled when the rain hit the pavement just down the road before it got to you—right?

I keep seeing this and keep being confused because I don’t really know what rain smells like

Neither Senate Republicans nor Senate Democrats can afford to ignore this.

Anyone who chooses to ignore it will do so at their own political peril.

How the Senate reacts to this moment will echo down through the ages.

For more than six decades, the Cuban regime has been the leading sponsor of radical leftism and Third Worldism in the United States.

The State Department is exposing the full history of Cuban espionage and subversion in our country.

WHY OPEN LOCAL ALWAYS WINS.

It is history and it is physics.

A central AI is something you visit — a powerful oracle you consult and then leave. A local AI agent is something that can live with you. It can read your documents without sending them anywhere. It can learn your voice, your style, your industry constraints. It can act inside defined boundaries on your behalf. It can coordinate with other local agents — one specialized in research, another in writing, another in analysis or automation — creating a small team of intelligences that no single central service can fully replicate because none of them possess your private context.

The future belongs to the swarm — to the hundreds and thousands of smaller, specialized, sovereign agents running on devices, in homes, in small server racks, at the edge. Coordinated when useful, independent when possible. Private by default. Custom by design. Resilient because failure in one place does not cascade to everywhere.

The preemptive boycotts of Nolan’s Odyssey in the name of anti-wokeness mirror the very spirit conservatives have long opposed.

For more than a decade, we’ve endured a string of disappointing movies because contemporary progressivism hardened into secular puritanism. Like earlier moral reform movements, it demanded public confessions of orthodoxy, ritual purification of “problematic” elements, and the cancellation of dissenters.

In institutional Hollywood, this took the form of explicit inclusion quotas, sensitivity training, revised awards criteria, and the systematic prioritization of identity-based messaging over coherence, character, or dramatic tension. The result was formulaic, risk-averse storytelling.

The consequences have been plain to see - a string of commercially and critically disappointing projects, such as the 2016 Ghostbusters reboot, which sacrificed the original’s anarchic, character-driven comedy for heavy-handed gender-reversal premises and “girl power” framing.

Any deviation from the diversity agenda was treated as ideological transgression, so films devolved into exercises in ticking representational checkboxes.

However, the right’s reflexive boycotts now punish perceived deviations from “correct” representation, even when they come from directors who have largely stayed outside progressive orthodoxy.

The result is a narrowing of the imaginative space in which ambitious, large-scale work can even be attempted without immediate partisan judgment.

The classics are not static relics sealed in amber. They are living testaments to the human imagination - palimpsests on which successive generations have inscribed their own visions while preserving continuity.

Homer’s Odyssey itself stands as the fountainhead of a long tradition of bold reinterpretation. Virgil refracted its wanderings into Rome’s founding myth in the Aeneid; Dante recast Ulysses as a restless seeker damned for intellectual hubris in the Inferno; and Tennyson, in his stirring dramatic monologue “Ulysses,” transformed the hero into a Victorian emblem of indomitable will and existential longing: “to strive, to seek, to find, and not to yield.”

Mythic archetypes possess a remarkable elasticity. They can absorb new cultural dimensions, philosophical depths, and formal narrative experiments precisely because they resonate with timeless human truths - mortality, homecoming, cunning, and the boundless sea of experience.

Yet when conservatism curdles into closed-mindedness, it inoculates artists against the very openness they need to engage their own moment in history with sincerity and courage.

Conservatives who cling to reflexive suspicion should remember that genuine artistic greatness requires the openness they sometimes reject; pre-judging work before it is experienced only ensures the mediocrity they claim to oppose.

Hello Mrs. Owens,

You told millions of people that Tyler Robinson "wasn't even there." That you felt "confident stating that Tyler Robinson did not kill murder Charlie Kirk."

He was on camera. Prone on the Losi rooftop at 12:22. Shot at 12:23:28. DNA on the screwdriver at 30 quintillion to one. DNA on the rifle at 1.7 octillion to one. He told his family what he did. His parents helped him surrender. He texted his roommate: "I am, I'm sorry." He engraved "Hey Fascist! Catch!" on the ammunition a month before he used it.

You said police "didn't even question" Lance Twiggs. He was interviewed twice. FBI the morning after. Joint state-federal team seven months later. His own attorney. Voluntary phone surrender. You laughed when you said it.

You told Shawn Ryan a shaped charge killed Charlie. That PETN was in his microphone. The medical examiner says gunshot wound. Bullet fragments were recovered from his body. A .30-06 Mauser with Robinson's DNA was found in the woods. Neither side — not prosecution, not defense — has mentioned explosives. Not once in four days.

You said the shot came from below. The Losi building is above the amphitheater.

You called Erika Kirk a "clinical psychopath" to an audience of millions. You said the assassination was "an occult ritual." You said Charlie was "sitting in a pentagram." You told people Israel killed him because he refused Netanyahu.

You made over a hundred episodes. You built a franchise on a dead man's name.

And the hardest fact of all: Tyler Robinson's own defense lawyers — the people whose entire career is on the line to get him acquitted — have refused to make a single one of your arguments. Not one. They're challenging DNA methodology. They are doing their jobs. You were doing something else entirely.

Charlie Kirk changed my life. He platformed my work when nobody knew who I was. He had my back when I was doxxed. I was the ten-thousandth most important person in his world and I will never be able to repay him.

So I did what I know how to do. I read every transcript. I watched every hour of testimony. I cataloged your claims and I held them up against what was said under oath.

Every single one failed.

I don't know why you did this. I'm not going to speculate on your motives, because that would make me exactly the kind of analyst I've spent my career refusing to be. But I know what you did. You told people confident lies about a dead man's murder, and millions of them believed you, and some of them turned that belief into threats against his widow.

The trial continues. And every day of sworn testimony is another day your words get tested against reality... under oath, on the record, where it counts.

I'll be here for all of it... because just as Charlie defended me, I will do what little I can to defend his legacy and @TPUSA and @MrsErikaKirk from evil.

This is as true today as the day he made this speech. Philosophy is the foundation of any government and here, he articulates what that means. You can love it or hate it, but it’s brilliant and it’s ours. 🇺🇸Happy Birthday, America.

"It is the Communists' intention to make people think that personal success is somehow achieved at the expense of others.

It is the Communists' aim to discourage all personal effort and to drive men into a hopeless, dispirited, gray herd of robots who have lost all personal ambition, who are easy to rule, willing to obey and willing to exist in selfless servitude to the State."

.@RandPaul Asks Samantha Power: 'Did USAID Fund Coronavirus Research In Wuhan China?'

"Should we be funding the Academy of Military Medical Research in China? ...Some of the research proposals in 2018 were the Wuhan Insitute of Virology asking for money to create a virus with a furin cleavage site. A SARS-like coronavirus with a furin cleavage site. That's exactly what COVID-19 turned out to be.

So we want to know if there were other research proposals you either granted or denied that were in the same vain as creating viruses that could have become COVID-19. We can't tell because you won't give us information... I now have 25 Senators that have sent you a letter, and you aren't responding... You are being dishonest."
