Today, we lost our irreplaceable retriever, Pancake, the First Puppy of Texas.

Cecilia and I are so grateful for the 11 years that Pancake brought joy and affection to our family and to guests of the Mansion.

She will be greatly missed by all the Texans who met her.

Platner drops out. Now Maine is going to let 600 Democrat party insiders pick the new candidate, replacing the guy that 156,000 people voted for. Just like the party kicked Biden to the curb and replaced him with Kamala. Tell me again which party is a threat to democracy.

Friends, yesterday, while in Washington, DC, interviewing Vice President Vance, I visited both the Lincoln Memorial and Arlington Cemetery. As I made my way from the Lincoln Memorial to the graves of Robert Kennedy and John F. Kennedy, their assassinations weighed heavily on my heart.

A quote from Aeschylus that I have always loved is engraved on stone near Robert Kennedy’s final resting place, as he quoted Aeschylus on the night of the assassination of Martin Luther King, Jr.: “Even in our sleep, pain which cannot forget falls drop by drop upon the heart until, in our own despair, against our will, comes wisdom through the awful grace of God.”

I was moved to reflect upon the assassinations of all of these key figures in our nation’s history: Lincoln, Robert Kennedy, JFK, and Martin Luther King, Jr., in light of the quote by Aeschylus, a pre-Christian figure who, nonetheless, intuited a deeply Christian mystery that somehow, through our suffering and pain, comes the deepest kind of wisdom.

What struck me as I stood in Arlington Cemetery was the reality of the violence that has bedeviled our political society for so long. Yesterday was the second day of the trial of the man accused of killing Charlie Kirk, a figure in the public square opening himself to dialogue and conversation.

This terrible curse of violence in the body politic has been a cancer in our nation from Lincoln to the present age, and it extends beyond explicit violence to violence implicit in our online interactions.

What did Robert Kennedy say to this? “What we need in the United States is not violence and lawlessness, but is love and wisdom and compassion toward one another, and a feeling of justice toward those who still suffer.” What did Lincoln say in his second inaugural address? “With malice toward none, charity for all.” These are the great ideals that should be informing our political life.

So, as I reflected upon the individuals whose graves I visited yesterday, and with the memory of Charlie Kirk in mind, I said a prayer for our country, that we may find the path to peace.

The World Cup is exposing these absolute truths:

1. The U.S. is awesome. Everybody else is figuring that out.

3. Canada and Australia suck.
4. Japan is really nice.
5. Norway is fun.
6. Egyptians are jihadists.
7. Germany has Freddy.
8. Europe is in decline.

Amazing! Hope you're having a beautiful Independence Day weekend! Stay cool out there wherever you are ❤️🇺🇸

Your used coffee grounds are worth more than you think.

Instead of throwing them away, turn them into a homemade coffee fire log that fills the air with the rich aroma of roasted coffee and warm caramelized sugar while helping put leftover grounds to good use.

Why people love these DIY logs:
- Recycles coffee grounds that would otherwise be discarded.
- Creates a cozy café-like scent around your fire.
- Burns for about an hour when made correctly.
- Can reduce waste and save money compared to buying specialty scented fire logs.
- Makes a fun weekend DIY project for coffee lovers.

All you'll need is dried coffee grounds, black treacle (molasses), candle wax, a loaf pan, and a little patience. The result is a slow-burning log that's as satisfying to make as it is to enjoy.

Have you ever repurposed coffee grounds for something unexpected?

Stephanie White betrays her team by endorsing the pathetic attempts by Alyssa Thomas to claim victimhood. Thomas mugged Caitlin Clark but doesn't want us to notice. Instead of apologizing she's decided to gaslight us. CC has been constantly pummeled by a group of WNBA thugs (mostly black, a few white, and almost all lesbians) for going on 3 yrs. Why? They hate Caitlin Clark for being white straight and immensely talented. She transformed the league and is making the WNBA hundreds of $millions! And now they want to destroy her?! It's way past time to bring in the DOJ, Civil Rights Division. The employer (WNBA) and the entire country is well aware of the ongoing racial discrimination and sexual‑orientation discrimination against CC, and yet the league has failed to take any remedial action. The WNBA has created and enabled a CONTINUING HOSTILE AND DANGEROUS WORK ENVIRONMENT. It's egregious and unacceptable! ENOUGH!! This horrible league needs to be sued! BOYCOTT THE WNBA !!!!!

You know what shook me when I was Muslim?

The story of Hosea. God tells a prophet to marry a woman He knows will betray him.

She does. She runs to other men. She ends up enslaved, sold, used up, worthless to the world.

And God tells Hosea to go BUY HER BACK.

To pay money for his own wife who cheated on him, and love her again. Hosea 3.

I thought it was the most humiliating command in the Bible. Why would any man do that?

Then I realized I was the wife.

I gave my heart to everything but God. I chased other masters. I sold myself cheap. I made myself worthless.

And God looked at me, the betrayer, and didn’t say “you’re not worth it.”

He said, “Name the price. I’m buying her back.”

That’s the Gospel. God doesn’t wait for the unfaithful to come crawling back clean.

He pays to redeem them while they’re still dirty.

Islam told me to make myself worthy of God.

Hosea showed me a God who pays to redeem the unworthy.

The cross was Him naming the price.

Praise the Lord.

I’ve been deep in prayer these past few days, and a few minutes ago I felt something shift. That heavy feeling suddenly lifted out of nowhere, and it was as if everything finally made sense. Prayer truly changes you in ways you don’t expect. I’m ready, God.

God, thank you for this day’s blessings. Amen.

The ones worried about separating families of illegals getting deported didn’t have a problem separating your family members during COVID.

Never forget that.

you need to be positivitymaxxing. you need to look for the good in every situation. you need to stop feeding your negative thoughts, cut them off, flip them into the positive. negative thoughts are associated with alzheimers, they poison your brain, your body and your vibe. positive thoughts are powerful. they make your body go strong, your mood better, your vibe improves, everyone around you feels it. as you think, you become. be delusionally optimistic about everything.

🚨 BREAKING NEWS: Tens of thousands of Spencer Pratt voters are now receiving rejection letters from the county clerk saying that their ballots were not counted due to signature irregularities. Yet, Governor Gavin Newsom just passed legislation that would make it illegal for anyone conducting oversight, to contest signatures that they deemed fraudulent. Democrats allow ballots to be signed with an X, a -, or a 🙂 to pass and count, but all of a sudden, only Republican signatures are being flagged for irregularities, rejected, and not counted. 🤔 One of these California Republican voters said that his signature has been on file for over 20 years and there has never been an issue until he voted for Spencer Pratt. Nithya Ramen has beaten Spencer Pratt by less than 3000 votes. There are at least 18,000 Pratt voters who received this letter saying their votes were rejected.

Big Boy 4014 powering east for America's 250th! 🚂🇺🇸

The world's largest operating steam locomotive is rolling through Western New York right now on its first-ever trip to the East Coast. Built in 1941, restored to glory, and hauling heritage cars on this coast-to-coast tour to celebrate our nation's Semiquincentennial, with a huge Fourth of July stop coming up in Philadelphia.

This iron horse is reminding everyone how railroads built America. Massive crowds are turning out, stay safe and keep 25 feet back from the tracks!

Who's spotting it in your area? Drop the pics and videos below. Pure American pride in motion.
