Republican attorneys general sue Democrat presidents who refuse to enforce the law, and who make up new laws and claim new powers no president has ever had.

Democrat attorneys general sue Republican presidents for enforcing the law and exercising the powers plainly given to them by the constitution.

@elonmusk I give even odds that a space habitat will be built around it, possibly the rotating ring variety, and it will become a tourist destination. I give it 2 to 300 years before that happens.

@SusieWiles47 @RealBenCarson When I read the headline, I just laughed. As if.

After an accomplishment filled week by President Trump, I have the pleasure of reading a piece of Friday fiction, courtesy of the Daily Mail.

To be crystal clear, I am not going anywhere. I am honored and proud to serve President Trump, proud of our team and remain fully committed to advancing his agenda on behalf of the American people.

Some in the media have spent a decade trying to manufacture drama around President Trump and people who work for him. They were wrong then, and they are wrong now.

See you Monday.

Remember:

The very purpose of mail-in ballots, no-ID laws, ballot harvesting and ballot drop boxes is to make it virtually impossible to prove widespread fraud while widespread fraud nevertheless routinely occurs.

[Insurrection Barbie @DefiyantlyFree]

I could debunk this biblically. I could talk about Romans 11. I could talk about its everlasting covenants. I could tell you the deliveror shall come from Zion. I could debunk replacement theology, and I have just look at my articles section.

But none of that matters because the people who espouse these beliefs, don’t care about the Bible. They think that God’s word can be manipulated to mean whatever they wanted to mean in the moment.

But here’s why you know they’re dead wrong. The Jewish people have survived a 35 centuries of persecution.

The Jewish people, never more than 0.2% of humanity, have survived 3,500 years of systematic persecution by every major empire in recorded history: Egyptian, Assyrian, Babylonian, Persian, Greek, Roman, Byzantine, Ottoman, and Nazi.

Pharaoh tried.

Haman tried.

Hitler tried with the full machinery of a modern industrial state and murdered six million and still, Israel exists.

Every single empire that made their destruction a priority is gone. The Amalekites are gone.

The Philistines are gone.

Rome is gone.

The Third Reich lasted twelve years.

The Jewish people are still here 15 million strong, back in their ancestral homeland, speaking their ancient language, the same people, the same book, the same God outlasting every sword ever raised against them across 35 centuries of unbroken existence.

What does that mean for us as Christians? It means you take the word of God literally. It means you look to Christ’s character to determine how you are to behave in this world.

It means that just because we don’t understand God’s redemptive plan for the Jewish people, it does not mean He doesn’t have one.

It means that what He said in Genesis still stands. I will bless those who bless you, and whoever curses you I will curse. It means Romans 11 is prophecy.

The gifts and calling of God are irrevocable.

And their existence proves it.

Every empire that cursed them is gone. Every ideology that tried to erase them is ash. And the Jewish people are still here 15 million strong, in their land, speaking their language, the same people, the same book, the same God.

So for us as Christians, the conclusion is not complicated.

We know salvation comes through Christ alone. We know there is a redemptive plan for the Jewish people. We don’t know the fullness of it and it is not for us to know. What is for us to do is obey.

And we don’t obey out of fear. We don’t obey to earn what can never be earned. We obey out of gratitude. Out of love. Because we were handed a salvation we did nothing to deserve, paid for at a price we could never repay, by a God who keeps every promise He has ever made to us, and to them.

That is why we stand with Israel. Not as a political position. Not as a theological argument. But as an act of worship, the overflow of a heart that understands what it was given, and who gave it.

And standing with Israel does not mean standing behind every decision of every government. It means we are committed to truth, to knowing the difference between deception and reality, between the persecuted and the persecutor, between what is actually happening and what we are being told is happening.

God said it. History proved it. Grace compels it.

Our job is to pray for discernment, embody the character of Christ in this world and obey.

We all fall short of the glory of God. Hi glory is His character. But falling short doesn’t mean maligning His character in the process.

[Charles Murray @charlesmurray]

Robinson also points out that *no* book in the New Testament mentions the actual destruction of the temple in 70 AD. It was an epic event in Judaism. If Jesus prophesied its destruction, proof that his prophesy had fulfilled should have been in any book that was written after 70. Personally, I find the extremely odd ending of Acts even more persuasive.
But there's a lot more in the three books I listed in another post.

[Ron DeSantis @RonDeSantis]

This is absurd. Once a ballot is received in Florida it is immediately logged as received. Once the election ends at 7pm on election night, we know how many ballots have been cast. Once you know the total number of ballots it closes off avenues for cheating.

[Coach Tommy Tuberville @SenTuberville]

It is beyond EMBARRASSING that “Republicans” continue to block the SAVE America Act.

@SenThomTillis, @LisaMurkowski, @SenMcConnell, and @SenatorCollins have not only betrayed their constituents — they are ACCOMPLICES in Democrats’ “Illegals First” agenda.

The people of North Carolina, Alaska, Kentucky, and Maine deserve better.

[Cynical Publius @CynicalPublius]

You know how in the New Testament, Jesus was always hanging out with the tax collectors?

That's because at the time, tax collectors were the lowest form of human life. Absolute filth. Greedy, mendacious, parasitic liars who the broader society rightfully condemned and shunned.

Jesus hung out with them to show that God's grace is available to everyone.

However, if Jesus were starting his ministry in 2026, he would be hanging out with journalists.

[JD Vance @JDVance]

Henry Nowak died the same way a civilization dies: abandoned, handcuffed by authorities who neither trusted nor cared for him, and accused of hate crimes he did not commit. His murder is as tragic as it is enraging. He should still be alive today, and he would be if the last few generations of European elites had stood their ground against the politics of self-hatred and the mass invasion of migrants, many of whom despise the West and the people who love it.

Henry was far from the first to so needlessly lose his life, and I fear he won’t be the last. Each time a life like his is lost, the proper response—the only response—is righteous anger. One of the most important things the Trump administration has proven to the world is that stopping the flow of mass migration and defending national sovereignty is a matter of political will and leadership. Anything else is an excuse.

It is because we love the West that we want to preserve it. We love our civilization. We love our country. We love our children. And nobody—nobody—should ever die the way that Henry Nowak died. May God comfort those who loved him, and may God rest his soul.

“Tiffany Justice read from explicit books.”

Yes, I did. Watch my lips when I’m reading and you can see me say dildo and vagina.

I stopped at one point and asked @ScottPelley if he wanted me to continue. He said yes, if I wanted to.

So I did.

Incest, rape, pedophilia- multiple excerpts, multiple books, and @CBS cut all of it.

We showed evidence of passages of explicit sexual content found in elementary to secondary public school libraries and @CBS hid all of it.

Please consider showing the whole interview @bariweiss.

Rodney is a great, great American who has created one of the best, simplest, most beautiful multiplying acts of charity in the country. Been following him for years. Let’s get some Raising Men & Women Lawn Care kids on the WH lawn!

[Rodney Smith Jr @iamrodneysmith]

Dear @WhiteHouse, my name is Rodney Smith Jr., founder of Raising Men & Women Lawn Care Service in Huntsville, Alabama. Through our 50 Yard Challenge, over 6,000 kids across the country have signed up to mow free lawns for the elderly, disabled, veterans, active-duty military, first responders, and single parents. With America celebrating its 250th birthday this year and me also being born on July 4th, I wanted to humbly ask if a few kids from our program and myself could travel to Washington, D.C. to help mow the White House lawn for this historic celebration.

More than anything, I want these kids to see how a simple act of service something as ordinary as mowing a lawn for someone in need can lead to extraordinary places. What better lesson in community service than showing them that helping others can take them all the way to our nation’s capital? I’d also love to bring my American flag-themed mower in hopes that the President might sign it, so I can later auction it off and donate 100% of the proceeds to a nonprofit supporting veterans. It would be a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to highlight the importance of service, patriotism, and the impact young people can have when they choose to make a difference. 🇺🇸

[JD Vance @JDVance]

If the fraud rate is really as low as Democrats claim, why are they fighting so hard to hide the data? Why not just work with USDA to audit and validate where the money is going? Their resistance to us going after fraud is part of why these programs ballooned in the first place.

[NOBUNAGA🇯🇵🏯_夏樹蒼依 @japan_nobunaga]

USA. A potluck. Everyone brings one dish. I have never been so out of my depth in my life.

I was invited to a gathering. "Just bring a dish to share," they said. Simple words. I did not sleep for three days.

Because I understood instantly what this was. A summit. Every guest, a lord of their own house, arriving bearing tribute. And tribute is judged. Tribute is ranked. To bring the wrong dish to the wrong table is to fall in standing before your peers, possibly forever.

So I prepared. I made my finest dish. I carried it to the door with two hands and a straight back, braced for the weighing of my worth.

The first lord arrived with a bowl of orange powder noodles. Macaroni and cheese. The crowd roared. He set it down at the center of the table. The CENTER. I noted this. The center is the seat of power.

The second lord brought a tower of small brown meat orbs in red sauce. "Meatballs," he announced, like a man laying down a sword. They were placed beside the macaroni. A strong showing. An alliance, perhaps.

I studied the table like a battlefield map. Potato salad: defensive, reliable, old money. A vegetable tray, untouched, clearly a hostage offering no one expected to win. And then a woman walked in, raised a flat box overhead, and the entire room turned and CHEERED.

Pizza. She had brought pizza. Store-bought. Still in the box.

I was stunned. She had not even cooked it. And yet the people rejoiced as if a king had entered. I revised my entire understanding of the hierarchy on the spot. Effort means nothing here. Only the roar of the crowd decides rank.

I placed my dish down, humbly, near the napkins. A peasant's position. I accepted it.

And then a man tapped my shoulder, pointed at my dish, and said the words that changed everything.

"Whoa, did you make this? This is amazing. Everybody, you GOTTA try this guy's thing."

The room turned. The room came. The room ATE. My dish vanished in ninety seconds. The pizza woman herself took a second helping and looked at me with respect.

I had won the summit. By accident. With a dish I placed by the napkins.

I understand nothing about this country. I have never been happier. I am hosting the next one.

So tell me, America.

Is there a system to the potluck? A secret rank? A hidden law?

I have decided there is not.

You just bring the thing you love, and everyone eats it, and somehow everybody wins.

It is the most insane way to hold a war.

I will fight in every single one.

[Rand Paul @RandPaul]

The SAVE America Act has my full support.

Requiring proof of citizenship to vote in federal elections is common sense.

American elections should be decided by American citizens.

[Harmonicminer @harmonicminer]

@RealJamesWoods Most Republicans would. But all it takes is a few Rinos in the Senate to block it. And a Senate Majority Leader unwilling to put his political position on the line to get it passed.

[Margot Cleveland @ProfMJCleveland]

California Democrats haven’t yet decided on the exact date that they will dump the ballots that will eliminate Spencer Pratt.  But they do know that — for the sake of tradition — it will be at 3:00 in the morning.

[Mark R. Levin @marklevinshow]

Let’s be clear. It’s not that California can’t count votes timely, it doesn’t want to. The system is set up to be corrupt, to ensure Democrat Party control, one party rule. Not long ago California was a reliable Republican state.  Even Ronald Reagan couldn’t win there if he were alive today.

[Harmonicminer @harmonicminer]

@will_m1399 A third thing can be true. The entire voting system in California is designed to make it almost impossible to detect voter fraud. It is a feature of the Democratic design, not a bug.
