Elizabeth Warren hasn’t said a word about Platner since Democrats decided to turn on him after the latest r*pe allegations
Do you still endorse him @ewarren??
In a small, red county in Pennsylvania,
we’ve uncovered non-citizens that have voted since 2020.
Some of them have voted before 2020.
We are auditing the voter rolls & the Pennsylvania Dept. of State has a lot of explaining to do.
Somalian MN State Rep candidate called for more funding for daycares
He owns a daycare receiving tax dollars with dozens of repeat violations and unpaid fines
Because of course
The American people deserve to know what’s happening in the Senate.
After the massive calculated coverup of President Biden’s cognitive decline, we expect transparency & accountability from our gov’t.
This is especially important when legislation may come down to 1 vote.
Oregon cuts off parental access to 13-year-olds’ medical records under state law!!
A mother in Oregon was told she no longer has access to her son’s patient portal because he just turned 13. She said:
“I just got done taking my son to the doctor and they tried telling me at the front desk that I don't have access to his patient portal anymore because he just turned 13.
Are you kidding me? He is under the age of 18. He is my child. I should have access to what his medical stuff is. That is insane to me.”
Under Oregon law, minors gain rights to confidential care without parental knowledge or consent at these ages:
Age 14+: Can consent to outpatient mental health and drug/alcohol treatment.
Age 15+: Can consent to general medical, hospital, dental, and surgical care.
Any age: Full confidentiality for reproductive health, birth control, STI, and HIV testing and treatment.
Electronic health record systems like MyChart often automatically restrict or remove full parental access starting at age 13 to comply with these privacy rules.
This is Democrats stripping parents of the ability to know what medical decisions are being made about their own children.
Pass this along so more people understand what these laws actually do.

New Yorkers are being told to sweat through a brutal heat wave with escalators shut off and air conditioners capped at 78 degrees, while Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce’s Madison Square Garden wedding runs full power, unlimited air conditioning, and a massive security operation!!
The city pushed strict energy conservation rules across all five boroughs as temperatures soared, yet the high-profile event at MSG operated without the same restrictions.
Street closures, hundreds of NYPD officers on extended shifts, and heavy production demands created a clear contrast with everyday residents being asked to conserve.
This is the kind of two-tier system that breeds resentment. Regular New Yorkers take the stairs in the heat while a celebrity wedding gets special treatment and city resources stretched thin.
Welcome to communism, folks.

🚨 Republicans just exposed and nuked Ilhan Omar’s shady $1 million earmark for a suspicious Minnesota “substance abuse” project
The funding was requested for Generation Hope MN’s Justice Empowerment Initiative, supposedly to help with addiction recovery, job training, and support services for the East African community in Minneapolis.
Instead, the project shares an address with a Somali restaurant on Cedar Avenue South, and IRS paperwork shows it is run by just three people who all list the exact same home address. Sen. Joni Ernst flagged multiple red flags and compared it to other major fraud cases in Minnesota.
The House stripped the earmark from the spending bill after conservatives raised the alarm.
This is how easy it has been for politicians to steer taxpayer money toward questionable operations.
Spread the word far and wide so more Americans see these earmark schemes and demand full investigations and accountability.

This is New York Police Officer Quathisha Epps
- She made over $400,000 last year
- $204k was from her salary, the rest was from overtime which she is under investigation for “falsified overtime hours”
- Because of this, she retired and will now get $16k PER MONTH from taxpayers
Her pay was a base salary of $204,000 plus an additional $204,000 in overtime. She claimed to work over 1,600 hours in overtime
There was an internal affairs investigation that probed allegations of falsified overtime, it even included self-approving time slips (Very easy way to commit massive fraud)
Despite this she was allowed to just file for early retirement. She retired and was still eligible for roughly $16k per month
She’s receiving the money to this day
In Christ's presence we have fullness of joy. Thanks be to God! Hear Christ for you at https://t.co/CNJZkzVCPV.

Happy 250th Birthday to a nation like no other.
America is exceptional because it is the exception — a place where a particular set of ideas, a particular set of values, and a particular set of customs, formulated by a particular set of men in a particular place at a particular time created a covenant nation.
That the covenant has extended to men with different beliefs and histories — first to Catholics and to Jews, Irish and German and Italian, freed slaves and others, so long as they would embrace the ideas and values and customs and swear fealty to the same in the form of our Constitution — has not been a weakness but a strength, as has been borne out by the incredible rise of the new nation to heights previously unknown in human history.
The American Experiment, the “experiment entrusted to the hands of the American people,” as George Washington called it, is always just that. It’s never fully proven. It is a promise made by the republic to us and by us to the republic and to each other.
It is a republic, if we can keep it. A republic conceived in liberty and dedicated to the proposition that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty, and the pursuit of Happiness.
The promise is ours to keep or to discard at our great peril.
The promise has been abused, both by the state and by ourselves and our neighbors.
It has been strained and tested.
It is being strained and tested now.
The ideas and values and customs are often attacked or co-opted by novel philosophies, or overwhelmed by uncontrolled and unassimilated migration, or hollowed out by our lack of faithfulness to them and to the Creator who is their author.
The covenant isn’t fragile. It has endured in the face of many faithless acts over two and a half centuries.
But nor is it, like the New Covenant of our Salvation, secured by the blood of Christ.
No. It is secured only by our own blood — and some incalculable measure of God’s grace.
It is ours only so long as we fight for it —against all enemies foreign and domestic — even the chief domestic enemy, our own faithlessness and fear and anger and despair.
Prudence, indeed, will dictate that Governments long established should not be changed for light and transient causes. The American experiment should not be abandoned simply because it is showing wear. So beautiful, if a bit bruised, a reed we should not break.
To do so would be to forsake the blood of our fathers, and to flaunt the greatest blessing of God to man in almost half a millennium.
Today, let us renew the covenant. Let us carry on the great experiment, and let us embrace the exception so that it may remain exceptional.
Let us live out the great creed handed to us by those particular men and secure the Blessings of Liberty to ourselves and our Posterity.
God bless America and help us to keep her.
I hadn’t read the Declaration of Independence since high school history class. Ah, yes, history class! In fact we had American history throughout the tenth grade, then world history during our junior year. When I listen to the TikTok crowd spew the nonsense they champion today, I think how easily their knuckle-headed thinking could have been cured with a few good history classes. Alas, I don’t see much hope for the future, as long as the teachers in our urban areas are in the clutches of politicians and unions with a far different agenda from real education.
Now rereading the document for the first time in decades (shame on me for taking so long), I had forgotten that the bulk of the text is a list of grievances suffered by the American colonists at the hands of the king and various elements under his tyrannical regime. What has truly stunned me these 250 years later, however, is how familiar these grievances feel in our contemporary situation. Let’s take a peek at the exact text, and see if anything feels uncomfortably close to home (the “He” refers to King George, of course, and I will use the original spelling and punctuation):
“He has refused to Assent to Laws”
Hmm, every “sanctuary state” governor today for starters…
“He has made Judges dependent of his Will alone”
Hmm, activist judges anybody?
“He has erected a multitude of New Offices, and sent hither swarms of Officers to harass our people”
Hmm, 87,000 new armed IRS agents. Ring a bell?
“For imposing Taxes on us without our Consent”
Hmm, ever looked at your tax bill?
“…transporting large Armies of foreign Mercenaries to compleat the works of death, desolation and tyranny…”
Hmm, thirty million military-age males pouring across our open borders from 2020 to 2024…
“He has excited domestic insurrections amongst us”
Hmm, BLM and Antifa riots…
SHORT VERSION: LEAVE US ALONE!
The very essence of the Declaration of Independence is a concerted celebration of God’s gift of our “unalienable” right to “Life, Liberty, and the pursuit of Happiness.” It was argued, researched, debated yet again, drafted by Jefferson, then edited by Adams, Franklin, and others. Together the bravest men stood together against the storm of tyranny and gambled it all. As I reread it today, I literally shed tears at those miraculous words:
“And for the support of this Declaration, with a firm reliance on the protection of Divine Providence, we mutually pledge to each other our Lives, our Fortune and our sacred Honor.”
And then, of course, there were those who shed more than tears. They shed their blood, watched their homes burn, and too many gave the ultimate sacrifice. Whether they formed local militias or joined the Continental Army, colonists now dedicated to the cause, gambled their very lives. One of those Americans was my ninth generation ancestor. He fought in one of the most consequential battles of the American Revolution, the Battle of Cowpens. I am forever honored that his blood runs in my veins.
I know that this will be a joyful and glorious weekend for all of you, God willing. It should also be, if I may presume to say, a solemn one as well. The sacrifices made by simple men and women those many years ago have made these precious rights and this glorious day possible. Take a moment and honor them in your heart. I know I will.
