My son Matthew put this video montage together for me. He wanted to show me that what I did meant something. How lucky am I to have such a thoughtful son and a beautiful career to look back on. I am blessed. ☀️
“The highest glory of the American Revolution was this: it connected in one indissoluble bond the principles of civil government with the principles of Christianity.” —John Quincy Adams, 1837
ONE NATION UNDER GOD.
‘The Prayer at Valley Forge,’ Henry Brueckner
A woman hiking in Canada nearly became a grizzly’s next meal and the video circulating right now is genuinely one of the most intense wildlife encounters you will ever watch - her dog is with her, a massive grizzly is right there, and somehow she kept her head together long enough for both of them to walk away breathing.
That is not a small thing. Most people talk tough until nature is standing ten feet in front of them and every instinct in your body is screaming to run, and running is exactly the worst thing you can do.
Grizzlies are built to chase, they top out over 700 pounds and can cover ground faster than any human alive. The people who survive these moments are the ones who override pure fear with pure discipline and this woman did exactly that.
If you hike, camp, or spend any real time in the wilderness - bear spray is not optional, it is the difference between a story you tell and one somebody else tells about you.
Could you have kept your cool?
Hats off to her.
100% correct. When I was at the Del Rio, TX Haitian bridge camp in 2021, many of the Haitians told me they had been living in Chile & Brazil for years before coming to the US illegally for economic (not safety) reasons. The Haitians were dumping & tearing up their Chilean documents at the river’s edge hide this fact from the US so it wouldn’t hurt their fraudulent asylum claims.
The idea that all these Haitians came directly from Haiti after an earthquake or assassination is false. Many of them were living happily and safely for years in South America until Biden’s open border policies became too attractive to pass up. Others also flew into the US via Biden’s CHNV mass parole program which was supposed to be for only 2 year humanitarian parole grants. Of course, most never left.
John Thune’s team has worked harder to argue that they weren’t responsible for @ScottPresler being kicked out of the SD GOP event than they have to pass the SAVE America Act.
This is today’s Republican Party establishment.
They’ll happily take MAGA votes, but they don’t want MAGA voices in the room.
It’s happening all over the country.
John Thune is a POS traitor who has sold himself out to the deep state.
He’s for sale to highest bidder.
The Republican Party better grow a pair and remove him as majority leader or this country’s toast.
I will stand with @ScottPresler, even if it means standing against the GOP.
Literally no one, ABSOLUTELY NO ONE, works as hard as Scott to help the GOP win elections.
It’s shameful he’s treated so poorly.
SCOTT IS THE REASON WE WIN ELECTIONS!!!!!
