K-State, live music, lake life, small government and real estate. Maybe in that order.

Thank u, next @IDF 🇺🇸 🇮🇱

[U.S. Senator John Fetterman @SenFettermanPA]

Unchecked extreme rhetoric, like labels as Hitler or fascist, will foment more extreme outcomes.

Political violence is always wrong—no exceptions.

We must all turn the temperature down.

[U.S. Senator John Fetterman @SenFettermanPA]

As I’ve long maintained, this was the correct move by @POTUS.

Iran is the world’s leading sponsor of terrorism and cannot have nuclear capabilities.

I’m grateful for and salute the finest military in the world. 🇺🇸

@ChrisVanHollen Release the hostages.

[Emily Damari @EmilyDamari1]

Dear Members of the @PulitzerPrizes board,

My name is Emily Damari. I was held hostage in Gaza for over 500 days.

On the morning of October 7, I was at home in my small studio apartment in Kibbutz Kfar Aza when Hamas terrorists burst in, shot me and dragged me across the border into Gaza. I was one of 251 men, women, children, and elderly people kidnapped that day from their beds, their homes, and a music festival.

For almost 500 days I lived in terror. I was starved, abused, and treated like I was less than human. I watched friends suffer. I watched hope dim. And even now, after returning home, I carry that darkness with me - because my best friends, Gali and Ziv Berman are still being held in the Hamas terror tunnels.

So imagine my shock and pain when I saw that you awarded a Pulitzer Prize to Mosab Abu Toha.

This is a man who, in January, questioned the very fact of my captivity. He posted about me on Facebook and asked, “How on earth is this girl called a hostage?” He has denied the murder of the Bibas family. He has questioned whether Agam Berger was truly a hostage. These are not word games - they are outright denials of documented atrocities.

You claim to honor journalism that upholds truth, democracy, and human dignity. And yet you have chosen to elevate a voice that denies truth, erases victims, and desecrates the memory of the murdered.

Do you not see what this means? Mosab Abu Toha is not a courageous writer. He is the modern-day equivalent of a Holocaust denier. And by honoring him, you have joined him in the shadows of denial.

This is not a question of politics. This is a question of humanity. And today, you have failed it.

Anti-Israel policies are anti-Texas policies.

Sent a letter to the City of San Marcos today condemning its proposed antisemitic resolution openly flouting Texas state law.

Texas will NOT tolerate antisemitism.

[Narendra Modi @narendramodi]

India will identify, track and punish every terrorist, their handlers and their backers.

We will pursue them to the ends of the earth.

India’s spirit will never be broken by terrorism.

@ChrisVanHollen While you’re traveling, do you mind stopping in Gaza and checking on Edan Alexander?

[Cam Ward @kstatecam]

@RepRashida Did you ever write a letter demanding the release of hostages that palestinians captured, raped and tortured in Gaza?

[Cam Ward @kstatecam]

@RepRashida palestine losing the war that palestine started by raping, murdering and kidnapping civilians is not genocide.

[Eyal Yakoby @EYakoby]

How can people see a photo of Hamas parading the corpse of a 9-month-old baby through a crowd of cheering Palestinians and say:

"We should give these people a state."

[Ari Fleischer @AriFleischer]

If the Ds can’t clap for a beautiful 13-year old boy who wants to become a cop, there’s something really wrong with them.

[Hen Mazzig @HenMazzig]

The medical staff greeted the freed hostages with Israeli and Thai flags. They might not be Israeli, but the Thai hostages are ours all the same, and we've been waiting for so long.

[Ritchie Torres @RitchieTorres]

The true target of the so-called Free Palestine movement, which has no desire to free Palestinians from Hamas, is the existence of Israel itself.

Israel’s existence is “occupation.”
Israel’s existence is “apartheid.”
Israel’s existence is “genocide.”
Even the mere presence of Jews before 1948 is said to be part of “the Hundred Years’ War on Palestine.”

Israel has been falsely accused of genocide by a movement whose intent is genocidal.

President-elect Joe Biden says he's concerned about reports that President Trump is considering a host of preemptive pardons for his adult children and lawyer Rudy Giuliani, as well as the possibility of one for himself https://t.co/dFHLNj5Gln

[Brianna Wu @BriannaWu]

I'm so exhausted with Free Palestine and the lack of honesty after a year and a half. I can only imagine how Israelis feel after 77 years, six wars and 16 major conflicts.

[U.S. Senator John Fetterman @SenFettermanPA]

ICE reported tens of thousands of migrants with criminal records — homicide or sexual assault.

425,000 have criminal records in total and should be deported.

I support a secure border.

I support a legal path for Dreamers.

I support the Laken Riley Act.

@LoganMize But what will happen to Miata Dave? #SaveTheThreeways

[Trooper Ben @TrooperBenKs]

Flashing your headlights—are you helping or hurting?

It’s something many drivers do, thinking it’s harmless. You see a law enforcement officer parked on the shoulder, and you flash your headlights to warn oncoming traffic. But sometimes, it can make our job harder—especially when there’s more going on than meets the eye.

I remember sitting on K-61 in McPherson County during an “attempt to locate” for a battered wife who had quietly called Dispatch with just enough info about her location before disconnecting to stay safe. As I scanned traffic for her vehicle, I saw motorists flashing their headlights. Cars turned off at intersections before reaching me, and I couldn’t help but wonder: Did the warning push someone to avoid detection?

A similar moment happened years later, trying to locate a scared child taken in a custodial abduction. Again, well-meaning drivers flashing their headlights may have unknowingly made my job harder.

The next time you see a trooper parked on the shoulder, think about what might be going on. Sometimes, we’re responding to more than just speeding—it could be someone’s life on the line.

I’m not asking anyone to change what they do, but awareness matters. Small actions can have big impacts.

Be safe,
Trooper Ben

Day 405.

It has been 405 days since Hamas terrorists abducted innocent civilians during the barbaric October 7th attack in Israel. There are over 100 still being held hostage in Gaza including SEVEN Americans. We MUST bring them home now.
