Austin Metcalf's dad, Jeff, just unloaded on Karmelo Anthony.
"We were robbed, don't look down, of all of these things."
"I said from day one, this was never about race, please don't politicize it. But what did you choose to do, both. It's about right and wrong. We're all humans. We all bleed the same color.
"You're free to make choices all you want, but you're not free from those consequences. You will face those consequences starting today." 
"People think that grief is sadness but its not. IT"S RAGE!!! (slamming his hands on the table.) Pure unfiltered rage,' he shouts.
"You failed your parents, your failed yourself and you failed society, You don't belong in this community," he says to Karmelo.
"You're going to prison, You can't even look me in the eyes right now but you can stab my fu**ing son in the heart."

Hunter Metcalf asked Karmelo Anthony to look at him during this victim impact statement.
“If you could just look me in the eye while I speak, I would really respect that,” Hunter said.
Karmelo looked down the entire time Austin spoke.

@LeaderJohnThune You are a wolf in sheep’s clothing & truly despised by all. Weak, ineffective & compromised! You suck !

[Gena Graddy @gena_graddy]

@EdKrassen Yeah, makes me miss the wit & statecraft of Joe Biden, said no one ever.

[Gena Graddy @gena_graddy]

@AdamJSchwarz She looks as if she is about to laugh!

[Kate @kate_p45]

In instead of everyone questioning why John Thune is allowing another recess, blocking recess appointments, pushing bills sponsored by Democrats, refusing to end the filibuster, or passing the SAVE Act, we ought to be asking why every single Republican in the Senate is just sitting back and allowing him to do these things!

[Gena Graddy @gena_graddy]

@BasedMikeLee The Save America Act!

[Gena Graddy @gena_graddy]

@LeaderJohnThune Pass the Save Act!

When you hear “America First,” most people interpret it through their own life.

Taxes.
Groceries.
Fuel.
Housing.
Bills.

That’s not wrong. That’s reality at the citizen level.

But the mistake is assuming that’s the same lens a President operates through.

A President doesn’t just manage a household economy.
He manages a global power position.

Those are not the same game.

From your perspective, “America First” means relief.

From the President’s perspective, it means survival of dominance.

Because if America loses leverage globally…
your cost of living doesn’t go down - it explodes.

The world runs on power, not goodwill.

Trade routes.
Energy supply.
Currency dominance.
Military deterrence.

These are the levers that decide whether your dollar holds value… or collapses.

Since Jimmy Carter, successive administrations slowly shifted from strength to management.

From projection of power → to negotiation from weakness.

That shift didn’t happen overnight.
It was incremental. Strategic complacency.

Under Carter, you saw the Iran hostage crisis - a moment that signaled vulnerability.

Adversaries took note:

America could be challenged… publicly.

Then came decades of mixed signals.

• Short-term wins
• Long-term strategic drift
• Wars without decisive outcomes
• Deals that bought time, not dominance

Enemies don’t respect hesitation.
They exploit it.

The result?

China expands economically.
Russia reasserts militarily.
Iran builds influence through proxies.

None of that happens in a vacuum.

It happens when the world senses hesitation at the top.

This is where people misunderstand leaders like Donald Trump.

You might judge policy based on prices.

He’s judging based on leverage.

• Who fears consequences
• Who tests limits
• Who backs down

That’s the scoreboard at that level.

Now let’s be clear about something:

No sane person wants war.

War destroys economies.
War destroys families.
War destroys nations.

Anyone cheering for war has never paid its cost.

But history is brutally honest.

When aggressors win…
populations don’t just lose comfort - they lose freedom.

Speech.
Property.
Opportunity.
Sometimes their lives.

Freedom has never been free.

That’s the uncomfortable truth people try to ignore:

Strength deters war.
Weakness invites it.

And when deterrence fails, the price isn’t theoretical - it’s paid by entire populations.

There has always been a cost for freedom.
And there always will be.

This is why they were deathly afraid of Trump for the last 10 years.

This is why they impeached him twice.

This is why some in the gop establishment threw the 2018 midterms.

This is why they stacked his cabinet/admin in Trump 1.0 with Bruti.

This is why certain people on the right counter message everything coming out of this admin.

This is why they are melting down, daily.

Trump is changing the country and the world.

He is exposing decades of grift.

He is showing that we don't have to live this way.

He is shinning a light on "unfixable problems" that turn out to be simply fixed if not exactly easily fixed.

They have no defense for that truth.

Turns out the border could always have been secured in days if they wanted to do it.

Turns out, yes we can deport illegals from the interior if they wanted to do it.

Turns out, yes, we can require companies to not put poison into our food if they wanted to do it.

Turns out we can send the poisoners of our children to the bottom of the sea if they wanted to do it.

Turns out we don't have to live with mass migration if they wanted to stop it.

Turns out we don't have to hollow out fly over country and force our citizens to learn to code if they didn't want it to happen.

Turns out we dont have to pay for the world's research and development cost for prescription drugs if they cared about our welfare.

Turns out we dont have to allow widespread fraud in welfare programs if they dont want it.

Turns out we dont have to fear terror loving countries plunging the world into a new dark age if they have a set of balls.

Turns out we dont have to allow other countries to rip us off in trade if they cared about Americans.

Turns out we don't have to become woke to protect minority rights.

President Trump is averaging one tyrannical dictator a month in 2026.

At this rate he will liberate Minnesota from Tim Walz by the end of May.

[Bad Hombre @Badhombre]

Apparently, arresting Maduro and killing Khamenei were easier than getting a Republican Senate majority to pass the Save America Act.

Unrealized gains tax for Gen-Z:

You buy a Pokémon card for $50.

Someone offers you $500 for it. You say no. You love that card. You're keeping it.

The government says: "Cool, but that card is worth $500 now. You owe us $100 in taxes."
You: "…I didn't sell it."

Government: "Don't care. Pay up."

You don't have $100 lying around. So you're forced to sell the card you love just to pay a tax on money you never received.

Next month? That card drops back to $50.

Your card is gone. Your money is gone. And the government shrugs.

That's a wealth tax on unrealized gains. They don't pay you back the tax...

Now picture this.

Your mom calls you crying. She has to sell the house she raised you in. Not because she can't afford it. She's lived there 30 years. It's paid off.

But some website says it's worth more now and the government says she owes $15,000 she doesn't have.

So she sells your childhood home. The kitchen where she made you breakfast. The doorframe where she marked your height every birthday.

Gone.

To pay a tax on money that was never real.

Now picture the opposite.

Your dad put everything into his small business. For 20 years he built it from nothing. One year the business is "valued" at $2 million on paper. He owes a massive tax bill. He empties his savings. Sells his truck. Borrows money. Pays it.

Next year the market crashes. His business is worth $200,000.

He lost everything to pay a tax on a number that doesn't exist anymore.

Does the government give him his money back?
No.

Does the government give him his truck back?
No.

Does the government care?
No.

They sold this idea as "taxing billionaires." But billionaires have armies of lawyers, offshore accounts, and trusts. They'll be fine.

You know who won't be fine? Your mom. Your dad. Your neighbor with a small business. The farmer down the road who's had the same land for four generations and now has to sell it because dirt got expensive.

You're not taxing wealth. You're taxing people for owning things.

It's like getting a parking ticket for a car you might drive somewhere someday.

They want you to own nothing and be happy. To fund the fraud, waste and abuse of the welfare state they created.

There is enough money. More tax isn't needed. It's all a lie. But you've been gaslit into believing this is a rich vs poor debate.

I hope you understand what's at stake.

[Gena Graddy @gena_graddy]

@lisamurkowski @lisamurkowski you are worse than a democrat you are a RINO. Why don’t you try actually representing your constituents in Alaska, which President Trump won by +13. I hope you are voted out asap! We need term limits in congress to hold these corrupt politicians accountable!

Having the halftime show for your biggest game of the year in a language almost none of your lifelong fans can understand, while waving the flags of countries that none them are from, is the biggest fuck you that I’ve ever seen a corporation give to its own consumers

[Eric Daugherty @EricLDaugh]

🚨 JUST IN: SecWar Pete Hegseth just NAILED IT on the blockbuster All-American Halftime Show

"We salute Turning Point USA and every American who still believes freedom is worth defending. Thank you for your courage as an organization, your clarity, and your leadership, and for this halftime show that the War Department is proud to support."

"This year we mark 250 years since a band of citizens pledged their lives, their fortunes, and their sacred honor."

"For two and a half centuries, Americans have answered that call, on farms and factory floors, in shipyards and labs, in cockpits and foxholes, and in every uniform our nation has worn. Freedom is not automatic. It is defended by a strong nation and a ready force, and that's our job."

"To our troops, our veterans, and the families who serve alongside them, we see you, we thank you, and we've got your back. So I hope you're enjoying this game. Happy Freedom 250, the things that really matter."

"God bless our warriors, and God bless our great republic."
