From our country’s beginning, for as long as America has embodied freedom and exceptionalism, the soul of our nation has been rooted in the Christian faith.
Today we gather, as our forefathers did on this day centuries ago, to rededicate our nation to God.

When a candidate wins every single county in a state primary, political insiders have a word for it.
Not a "strong performance."
Not a "commanding victory."
A **mandate**.
Vivek Ramaswamy just won all 88 counties in Ohio.
82.47% of the vote.
His opponent — Casey Putsch, a YouTube car guy — got 17.53%.
That number isn't a loss. It's a message.
When a challenger can only pull 17% in a contested primary, it means the party didn't split. It means the base didn't hedge. It means there was no protest vote worth counting.
In Ohio GOP politics, that's not a primary result.
That's a declaration.
Ramaswamy now faces Democrat Amy Acton in November.
88 counties. 82.5%. Zero cracks in the coalition.
Ohio is red — and the math just made it official.

🚨 50 YEARS AGO TODAY: Dodgers legend Rick Monday became an American hero.
Two protesters ran onto the field at Dodger Stadium trying to burn the American flag… and Rick Monday sprinted in like a damn boss and SNATCHED it right out of their hands.
No hesitation. No apologies. Pure patriotism
@TheVinScully with the call!
“Gimme Shelter”
Keith Richards came up with the core idea while sitting in a friend’s London apartment during a sudden, violent rainstorm. Watching people scramble for cover with umbrellas blowing away, he picked up an acoustic guitar and started playing. https://t.co/jr2mm9VuO1
Everybody’s freaking out about AI but I’m not sure how we ever lived without it—this is freaking awesome.
What a time to be alive!

The Philadelphia Phillies at the Cincinnati Reds. Intro. July 21st, 1990. 36 years ago.
The wire to wire Reds were 9 games ahead in NL West standings. 57-32.

🚨 INCREDIBLE! This is a stunning drone light show depicting Jesus on the Cross (the Crucifixion)
It was created as part of the “Jesus Jesus Jesus” Holy Week event by The Church on Master’s Road in Manvel, Texas.
Thousands of synchronized drones lit up the night sky during Good Friday to tell the Gospel story in a powerful, modern way.
Absolutely breathtaking!

Pure Motown magic! Those silky harmonies, the smooth moves, and Smokey Robinson’s timeless feel-good soul — still one of the greatest love songs ever ❤️
I want to apologize for not responding to any of the 22 thousand comments my last post inspired. I’ve been filming all week and just noticed my observations about Jimmy Kimmel and a former plumber named Markwayne Mullin have gone viral. I've also noticed that many of the comments are from people who genuinely seem to believe that Jimmy wasn’t belittling plumbers at all, but was instead, simply trying to point out that Mullin is not qualified to lead the DHS. Here's a small smattering...
Roger Bicknell...
Mikey stop. Kimmel wasn't making fun of plumbers he was making fun of Mullin.
Rebecca Piatt Gonzalez...
Dearest Mike, it's not anything to do with his being a plumber. It's him NOT being skilled in Homeland Security.
Patrick Wise...
Being a plumber qualifies you to be a plumber. Period. The issue Jimmy and the rest of us at the adult table recognize is that jobs require certain training and experience and being a plumber does not qualify you to be Sec of DHS.
Had Roger, Rebecca, Patrick and all the others who rushed to Jimmy’s Kimmel’s defense actually read what I had written, they would see that I did not suggest - even remotely - that a plumber was inherently qualified to hold a cabinet position. What I said was that being a plumber should not disqualify a person from holding such a position. Big difference. Doctors, lawyers, veterinarians, fireman, and university professors are no more or less qualified to run the DHS than plumbers, electricians, or carpenters – but should they all be dismissed as “unqualified” simply because they made a living in some other vocation?
As I wrote in my original post, credentials and diplomas are great ways to bolster a person’s credibility, especially if we’re talking about mastering a specific skill. I think we can all agree that plumbers, accountants, mechanics, and surgeons should all have to prove themselves competent before hanging out a shingle. But what do their credentials and diplomas have to do with their actual competency? Are we not already surrounded by a legion of perfectly qualified experts who don't know what the hell they're doing? Moreover, what do credentials and experience have to do with wisdom, honesty, common sense, integrity, courage, the ability to lead, or any other virtue we’d like to have in our elected officials?
There are plenty of legitimate reasons to question Mullin’s suitability for this role. But there’s no legitimate reason to disqualify him simply because he used to be a plumber. Just as there was no legitimate reason to dismiss AOC because she used to tend bar. As for the joke itself, here’s an honest question. If Senator Mullin was a retired doctor instead of a retired plumber, do you believe he would have would made the same joke?
Roger, Rebecca, Patrick...be honest. Do you really think Jimmy would have said to his audience, "So, now we have a DOCTOR in charge of protecting us from terrorism? Hey – it worked for Dr. Suess – maybe it’ll work for Markwayne!"
Personally, I don't. Not in a million years. Why? Because no one would have found it funny, that’s why. Even though doctors are no more “qualified” to protect us from terrorists than plumbers are, Jimmy knows that doctors are widely respected in society, and that plumbers are not. He knows that medical degrees and doctorates are aspirational credentials, whereas plumbing certificates are not. The entire premise of his joke was based on a personal bias that he knew his audience shared – a bias that presupposes plumbers are uneducated, one-dimensional workers who never made it to college, and are therefore "unqualified" to do anything but plumb.
Jimmy is entitled to his opinion, along with anyone else who believes that Mullin is unqualified to lead the DHS. The Constitution, however, says otherwise, and so does the Senate. Likewise, reasonable people can disagree as to what is funny and what isn’t. Frankly, I couldn’t care less. What I do care about, is the extraordinary shortage of plumbers and electricians our country is facing, and the longstanding stigmas and stereotypes that continue to discourage people from considering a lucrative career in the skilled trades. Jimmy’s joke – and his audience’s reaction to it – is proof positive that those stigmas and stereotypes are alive and well.
