🚨I just got off the phone with a former Iraqi Sahwa commander who served with the Desert Brigade from its founding in 2005 until 2010. During that time, he frequently operated alongside Kilo Company, 3rd Battalion, 8th Marines in Ramadi, the capital of Al Anbar Province in western Iraq.

He shared some disturbing details about a Marine named Graham Planter. According to the commander, there was a recurring pattern involving their interpreter, who would arrange visits to a local woman running a prostitution house. She had several underage daughters. Planter and a couple of other Marines would go to the house, often setting up an observation point with their Iraqi counterparts.

The story took a darker turn when he described how it started. During what was supposed to be a routine raid on the home, they discovered it wasn’t a terrorist hideout — it was a brothel operated by a single mother who had lost her husband. After that first encounter, the visits became regular.
Two or three Marines including the interpreter would disappear inside the house for an hour, sometimes up to an hour and a half. The Iraqi Sahwa fighters were always positioned outside, securing the area between the roof and the front gate. They were never allowed inside.
The commander was emphatic. He said he was 110% certain that Graham Planter and one or two others were paying for sex with both the mother and her underage daughters.

@gregjthehomie @CivicSparks Not during past three years while Kiewit and Kraemer have been rebuilding key sections.

During prior 27 winters potholes were bad enough that I needed realignments on two of my vehicles. EB approaching Vail pass was worst.

Rules for Thee, Higher Bills for Me 🤡📉

The federal government literally had to step in and order Colorado to keep its coal plants online because the state is facing massive electricity shortages and skyrocketing demand. The reason? Democrats have been systematically killing off cheap, reliable power before replacements are even ready.

But instead of taking the hint, Governor Jared Polis and state Democrats just signed HB26-1226. This vindictive little piece of legislation forces any coal plant ordered to stay open to install massively expensive new pollution controls and drown in red tape.

This is exactly how Democrats "fight Trump" and push their radical green energy transition: by intentionally making your cost of living as expensive as possible.

Let’s look at the actual math from the article:

📉 Coal generation cost: ~$32 per megawatt-hour.

💸 New wind/solar total system cost: Up to $200–$300 per megawatt-hour.

📈 Residential electricity rates have already surged 35% under Polis.

They admit they want to make coal too expensive to run, even if it means putting grid stability at risk and sticking hardworking ratepayers with the bill. If you're wondering why your power bill keeps bleeding you dry, look straight at the Capitol in Denver.

I’m trying to understand the left’s argument supporting Karmelo Anthony.

Karmelo followed Austin Metcalf into the Memorial high school tent. In high school athletics, this is a provocation.

15 times, Karmelo was asked to leave the tent. He didn’t.

He then challenged Austin Metcalf to touch him and “find out.”

Someone pushed Karmelo. Per video, maybe two minor pushes.

Witnesses testify Austin Metcalf did NOT punch Karmelo or do anything that would cause serious bodily harm.

So Karmelo had no reasonable belief—the standard for self-defense—that his life was in danger.

Nonetheless, Karmelo immediately grabs a knife from his bag —which he was carrying illegally, no knives allowed on school property— and stabs Austin Metcalf in the heart, killing him.

Karmelo then throws the knife and runs away.

Moments later, after police arrest him and refer to him as the “alleged” suspect, Karmelo admits he killed Metcalf, saying: “I’m not alleged, I did it.”

So—

The jury was NOT “all white.” There were Asians, Hispanics & Arabs reportedly on the jury.

Karmelo’s lawyer wasn’t a public defender, he was a private attorney.

The left claims “racism!”

But facts matter.

There is ZERO evidence of racism.

And all the facts demonstrate beyond the shadow of a doubt that Karmelo Anthony murdered Austin Metcalf.

If you think Karmelo should walk free, YOU are the racist because you’re basing that on his skin color alone while ignoring the reality of the crime he committed.

Colorado is about to make it a lot harder to exercise your Second Amendment rights.

Starting August 1, 2026, Colorado will ban the manufacture, sale, and purchase of many semiautomatic firearms that accept detachable magazines unless specific requirements are met under the new state law.

Before that deadline, anyone wanting to purchase one will be required to complete a state approved firearms safety course. Depending on the course, reports indicate training could range from roughly 4 to 12 hours.

Colorado already has magazine restrictions and red flag laws. Now the state is adding another layer of government permission between law abiding citizens and a constitutional right.

As a Marine Sergeant and Benghazi Warrior, I carried a rifle in combat. I train people every week at @DCFGuns on safe, responsible firearm ownership and use. Voluntary training is smart. Education saves lives.

But mandatory government classes and government approval as the price of exercising a constitutional right is a dangerous precedent. Rights should not depend on whether the government decides you have completed the latest requirement.

Real public safety comes from prosecuting violent criminals and actually holding people accountable for their actions. Putting them behind bars instead of back on the streets seconds later. A weak legal system is what’s driving our crime up and destroying our society. When you have no accountability for your unlawful actions or childish behavior, there’s no reason to stop.

It also comes from fixing mental health failures, opening up mental hospitals, and actually backing the men and women who put on the uniform every day.

Colorado families should stay informed, stay engaged, and understand exactly what these new laws mean.

Stay informed. Stay ready.

🚨 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.

The story in the Bible that rattled me before I converted to Christianity from Islam:

The two thieves crucified next to Jesus. I never knew about them. Bro. They’re the whole Gospel in one scene.

Two men. Same sin. Same cross. Same dying breath. Same distance from Jesus — mere feet away on either side.

One mocks Him. One turns to Him and says, “Jesus, remember me when you come into your kingdom.”

And Jesus tells the second man: “Today you will be with Me in paradise.” Luke 23:43.

That man did ZERO good works. He couldn’t. His hands were nailed down. He never prayed five times. Never fasted. Never gave to the poor. Never got baptized. He had nothing to offer but a dying glance toward Jesus.

And Jesus saved him... on the spot.

In Islam, that man was doomed. No time to balance the scale. No deeds to weigh. Game over. A horrible life with a horrible punishment ahead.

I wonder if that would be me…

Yet in the Gospel, that man was in paradise the same day — because salvation was never about his works. It was about WHO he turned to in his last moment.

Two criminals. Same cross. One simple difference: which one turned to Jesus.

That’s why the Gospel is offensive.

And Jesus asks everyone: who do you say I am?

This article was written by a 26 yr old college student by the name of Alyssa Ahlgren, who's in grad school for her MBA. What a GREAT perspecitve..👍🏽

My Generation Is Blind to the Prosperity Around Us!
I'm sitting in a small coffee shop near Nokomis (Florida) trying to think of what to write about. I scroll through my newsfeed on my phone looking at the latest headlines of presidential candidates calling for policies to "fix" the so-called injustices of capitalism. I put my phone down and continue to look around.

I see people talking freely, working on their MacBook's, ordering food they get in an instant, seeing cars go by outside, and it dawned on me. We live in the most privileged time in the most prosperous nation and we've become completely blind to it.

Vehicles, food, technology, freedom to associate with whom we choose.These things are so ingrained in our American way of life we don't give them a second thought.

We are so well off here in the United States that our poverty line begins 31 times above the global average. Thirty One Times!!!

Virtually no one in the United States is considered poor by global standards. Yet, in a time where we can order a product off Amazon with one click and have it at our doorstep the next day, we are unappreciative, unsatisfied, and ungrateful. ??

Our unappreciation is evident as the popularity of socialist policies among my generation continues to grow. Congresswoman Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez recently said to Newsweek talking about the millennial generation, "An entire generation, which is now becoming one of the largest electorates in America, came of age and never saw American prosperity."

Never saw American prosperity! Let that sink in.

When I first read that statement, I thought to myself, that was quite literally the most entitled and factually illiterate thing I've ever heard in my 26 years on this earth. Many young people agree with her, which is entirely misguided.

My generation is being indoctrinated by a mainstream narrative to actually believe we have never seen prosperity. I know this first hand, I went to college, let's just say I didn't have the popular opinion, but I digress.

Why then, with all of the overwhelming evidence around us, evidence that I can even see sitting at a coffee shop, do we not view this as prosperity? We have people who are dying to get into our country.

People around the world destitute and truly impoverished. Yet, we have a young generation convinced they've never seen prosperity, and as a result, we elect some politicians who are dead set on taking steps towards abolishing capitalism.

Why? The answer is this,?? my generation has only seen prosperity. We have no contrast. We didn't live in the great depression, or live through two world wars, the Korean War, The Vietnam War or we didn't see the rise and fall of socialism and communism.

We don't know what it's like to live without the internet, without cars, without smartphones. We don't have a lack of prosperity problem. We have an entitlement problem, an ungratefulness problem, and it's spreading like a plague."

Meet ENEMY of girls sports:
Jacquelynn Rich Fredericks

She is a talented leftist lawyer that previously contended for illegal immigrants to get in-state tuition.

Now she is the lawyer taking up the cause of Jeffco schools placing BOYS into girls’ beds, bathrooms and sports teams.

She was hired by Jeffco Schools to defend against the Title IX violations being pursued by the Office of Civil Rights. That is right she is advocating against girls and for the trans-identified males.

Among other things she argues that Jeffco has been pushing boys in girls spaces for 10 years and that since it is ok by CO state law they can continue violate Federal law. She calls it a “tension”.

She is apparently a mom of one and is passionate about equity and critical race theory.

If this order isn’t signed today, Lucy will spend at least another day in a cell.

I spend yet another day in a courtroom. My sons will miss the final day of VBS - the one everyone has been looking forward to, with sprinklers, slip-and-slides, and squirt guns. And I won’t be able to attend my daughter’s ballet recital.

This is a great deal of unnecessary hardship, especially since I’ve already signed the deal. Yet this entire ordeal - nearly two months now - has caused far too much avoidable suffering over an innocent incident that took place in my own yard and was over in seconds.

I don’t blame malice. I blame procedural quirks, bureaucratic inefficiencies, and an overly heavy-handed government.

It’s no wonder C.S. Lewis imagined the demon Screwtape disguised as a senior bureaucrat and Hell as a mundane, if gruesome, administrative system.

Just got a call from a friend in my town …

To sum it up - an older man had a stroke in my town and can’t take care of his dog. There’s no information about how old the dog is, name, breed, etc. looks mixed breed to me.

They tell me he’s very friendly. I can’t take another rescue right now, because I have 10, and Pedro is old and needs extra care.

Here’s some pictures, if anyone is interested, I’ll pay the initial vet bills, he probably needs some care.

[Shahriq Khan @RealShahriqKhan]

As an Ex-Muslim, let me fill you in on something most Christians won’t ever know:

There are archaeological sites across Saudi Arabia that researchers aren't allowed to excavate.

No public digs or major investigations allowed. No open examination.

If those sites contain ancient synagogues, churches, or Torah manuscripts, they could answer one of the biggest questions in Islamic apologetics:

What Torah did Muhammad believe existed?

If archaeologists uncover Torah scrolls that match the same Torah found in places like Egypt, Ethiopia, and beyond, then the claim that a different Torah existed in Muhammad's day becomes much harder to defend.

Islam's criticism of the Torah often depends on the idea that the original message was altered. But where is the manuscript evidence?

Where is the lost Torah that supports the Islamic retelling of the prophets?

If the evidence is there, let's examine it and if the Torah is corrupted, prove it.

If Islam is true, it has nothing to fear from archaeology.

Truth doesn't hide from evidence. Truth invites investigation. So open the sites. Open the digs. Let the evidence speak for itself.

Until then, the unanswered questions remain.

🚨OH. MY. GOSH!!!

A "family festival" in suburban Kansas City was overrun with "teens" who began BEATING POLICE OFFICERS and UNLEASHED BEAR SPRAY on attendees.

The fire department kept coming back to treat people who couldn't breathe.

It took 3 POLICE AGENCIES to get the crowd under control and during a foot chase, officers recovered a 3D-PRINTED GHOST GUN off another juvenile.

Only two teens were detained and then released to their parents.

This is the THIRD YEAR IN A ROW teens have hijacked this festival.

UK Police slam a White boy onto the ground, choke him & tell him to stop being a bitch after HE was just attacked.

Poor kid was hysterical & just kept asking what he had done wrong.

There is something very wrong with the UK & their Police force.

White Kids are not safe from foreign criminals or Police. When they are harmed the Police just traumatise them further.

Police are supposed to serve & Protect the community not terrorise them.

🚨JUST IN: Attempted murder caught on video in Los Angeles — Far-left protesters surround pro-Trump activist Jon Mellis, a former Jan. 6 defendant, outside the Edward R. Roybal Federal Building, douse him with a liquid (widely reported as gasoline), and chase him as he runs for his life.

One spark and it could have been fatal. Mellis was filming when identified and attacked amid ongoing anti-ICE/anti-Trump protests. LAPD briefly detained him but released without charges; no arrests of the attackers reported so far.

This is pure mob violence. American citizens should be able to express support for the President without fearing for their lives.
