Hidden on page 744 of the farm bill the House Agriculture Committee passed Thursday is a provision that would condemn millions of pigs to a lifetime in gestation crates.

Rebranded the 'Save Our Bacon Act,' it's a pork-industry play to wipe out every state law banning the sale of pork from crated pigs — laws the conservative Supreme Court upheld in 2023.

Over 85% of Democrats and Republicans oppose these crates. Voters have backed ballot measures to ban them in state after state.

The pork industry knows it can't win a straight vote on this. So it's burying the provision in an 800-page bill and hoping no one notices.

Contact your senators and representative today and tell them: oppose the farm bill unless the Save Our Bacon Act is stripped out. You can reach them at https://t.co/MQvByA4atR and https://t.co/v6ghw99u1K — it takes two minutes and it matters.

Buck O’Neil shares his thoughts on Ty Cobb.

[Matt Walsh @MattWalshBlog]

As always I only support military action anywhere, in any context, if it directly serves the interests of American citizens. It’s troubling that the arguments we’re hearing for this war in Iran, including from Trump himself, seem to revolve primarily around “bringing freedom to the Iranian people.” As Americans, the freedom of Iranians is not our responsibility. If a single American life is lost in the service of that goal, it will be a travesty.

What nobody has even come close to sufficiently explaining is how this war will first and foremost directly benefit American citizens. That is a case that needed to have been made clearly and convincingly before this move, and it wasn’t. We’re also told how this will benefit Israel, and I’m sure it will. But Israel is not America. What does it do for America? How does it help us? That needs to be explained to us. And it isn’t “panicking” or demonstrating “disloyalty” to demand those very basic answers about how American tax money, and potentially American lives, are being spent.

We hear about the danger of a nuclear Iran, but that’s odd because we were told that Iran’s nuclear capabilities had already been set back decades. We hear that this war will be over quickly and easily because Iran is powerless, which I hope and pray is the case, and maybe it will be. But that’s odd, too, because if Iran is such a paper tiger then how were they a danger to us in the first place? It seems hard to argue both that Iran is an existential threat to the United States and that we can topple them in 20 minutes with no casualties or negative downstream effects.

Also the political calculation really matters here. A huge majority of American oppose this. That’s just a fact. If it costs Republicans in 26 and 28, then, no matter how things work out in Iran, it will not have been worth it. A free Iran at the cost of Democrat rule here at home is a bad deal. A free Iran for an unfree America would be just about the worst trade of the century.

I’m praying for our great country today.

The priest who died on the Titanic to hear confessions.

Father Thomas Byles was offered a seat on a lifeboat twice. He refused both times to hear confessions and comfort the people onboard.

When the ship struck the iceberg, he gathered passengers on the rear deck.

Survivors reported that he stood amidst the chaos, hearing confessions, giving general absolution, and leading the Rosary until the water swallowed the stern.

This is the type of story we should elevate, heroic virtue. May God send us more priests like Father Thomas Byles.

There are over 100 Eucharitic Miracies, and they’re documented on Carlo Acutis' website.

It took me a long time to truly understand and believe that Christ is truly present in the Eucharist, but learning about these miracles has made it evident.

Imagine that we have a Democrat administration. Now imagine that a right wing radical shot and killed one of the most influential liberals in the country on live TV. Now imagine that thousands of other conservatives shamelessly celebrated the assassination and called for more of them. Now imagine that in the same week another right winger shot up a country club while shouting “MAGA” and another one shot up a news station and left behind a manifesto complaining about liberal bias in the media. Now imagine that a week after all of those attacks, a conservative sniper perched on a rooftop fired into a Planned Parenthood clinic, killing or injuring multiple people. And imagine that this Planned Parenthood attack was just the latest in a string of them stretching back several months.

Is there any doubt how the Democrats would respond? Is there any doubt that they would wage a full scale war on conservatives and have people like me frog marched in front of cameras in handcuffs and leg irons? Is there any doubt that they would declare martial law and label all right wing expression incitement? Is there any doubt that they would be rounding up conservatives by the bus load and shipping us to Gitmo? Is there any doubt that they would have Fox News and every other conservative media company shut down and its executives arrested or sued into bankruptcy?

I’m not even advocating for Republicans to do all that Democrats would do if the roles were reversed. I believe in the rule of law. I know that they would throw the rules out, chuck the Constitution into a wood chipper, and ruthlessly persecute us all if conservatives engaged in the kind of systematic campaign of political terrorism that the left is currently conducting.

I don’t want anyone to be persecuted. What I do want — what we all want — is for the Trump Administration to do absolutely everything legally in its power to prosecute and punish every leftist responsible for committing, coordinating, funding, or inciting this epidemic of political violence. I want them to actually treat Antifa like the terrorist organization that it is, and handle its adherents and affiliates the same way we handle ISIS and Al Qaeda. Now is the time. Lives hang in the balance. Crush the terrorists. Do it now.

Kamala Harris may be on the WORST book tour in history.

✅ Admitted she blocked Pete as VP because he’s gay.

✅ Admitted she was too scared to confront Biden.

✅ Tossed Newsom, Shapiro & even Biden under the bus.

It’s not a memoir, it’s a political suicide note.

[Cynical Publius @CynicalPublius]

I'm watching Charlie Kirk's memorial service.

It finally dawned on my why it is so important that the Left lie about us.

Our message is one of peace, love, equality of opportunity, tolerance, inclusion, justice and liberty. It is a message that--when objectively understood--no decent American can help but embrace.

That embrace is what the Left fears. They know they must distort our message, otherwise they would have virtually no followers.

That is why they must pretend we are racist, misogynistic, homophobic, xenophobic, bigoted, fascist Nazis.

If they don't lie about us, they lose everything.

[Terrence K. Williams @w_terrence]

As a Black man, it hurts my soul to see people call Charlie Kirk a racist. I knew him personally and I can tell you, he was nothing but kind to me. Charlie never looked at me as a color, he looked at me as a friend, as a brother.

He went out of his way to help me, to open doors for me, to make sure I had opportunities I didn’t even ask for. That’s who he was, just generous, thoughtful, and loyal.

To hear people smear his name with lies is painful, because I knew the real Charlie. He wasn’t about division, he was about lifting people up, no matter where they came from or what they looked like.

And honestly, this all still feels unreal. I still cry, It’s hard to accept that he’s gone. A man who gave so much, who inspired so many, taken from us too soon.

Charlie Kirk was more than a leader , he was a husband, father , friend to many of us and a true American patriot.
