[GRANDPA’s FREE ADVICE @GOP_is_Gutless]

Mr. President,
⠀
I don’t know if you’ll ever read this. Probably not. But I’m writing it anyway because my wife and I talk about this all the time, and somebody needs to say it out loud.
⠀
We can’t wait for the day you’re no longer President.
⠀
Not because we’re tired of you. The opposite. Because you deserve to go home. You deserve quiet mornings. You deserve to sit on your own porch without the weight of 330 million people sitting on your shoulders. You deserve your family back. You deserve peace.
⠀
You didn’t have to do any of this.
⠀
You had the money.
You had the name.
You had the life most men only dream about.
You could’ve spent the rest of your days golfing, traveling, watching your grandkids grow up.
⠀
Instead you stepped into a fire that nearly cost you everything.
⠀
They mocked you. They sued you. They raided your home. They tried to bankrupt you. They tried to lock you up. They dragged your wife and kids through the mud. They put a bullet through your ear and you got up with your fist in the air and kept going.
⠀
For what?
⠀
For us. Regular people. Truck drivers. Welders. Waitresses. Roughnecks. Farmers. Single moms working two jobs. Grandparents on a fixed income watching the country they built get handed away.
⠀
You didn’t owe us a thing. And you gave us everything.
⠀
You risked your name. Your legacy. Your safety. Your family’s safety. Your brand. Your freedom. All of it. So this country could have one more shot at being what it was supposed to be.
⠀
And the truth nobody wants to admit?
⠀
We didn’t deserve a President like you.
⠀
A nation this divided, this ungrateful, this asleep at the wheel didn’t earn a man willing to bleed for it. But God sent you anyway. And I’ll thank Him for that until the day I die. 🙏
⠀
So when the day finally comes that you walk away from that desk, I hope you sleep good. I hope your wife laughs again without looking over her shoulder. I hope your kids breathe easy. I hope you golf till the sun goes down and nobody bothers you for nothing.

Donald Trump works more than one week than Joe Biden worked in four years. Yeah.
⠀
You earned every bit of it.
⠀
Thank you, Mr. President. From a retired auto worker in Ohio, who prays for you often.
⠀
God bless you. God bless your family. And God bless the United States of America. 🇺🇸

@DHSgov This is a “Thomas Kinkade” known as the “painter of light”. He painted beauty where he was. Most fail to notice the students who are standing saying the pledge of allegiance, zoom out on it, you will find a good diversity.

@sitsio Offer confession daily. My church has it before every daily mass and 3 hours on Saturday. It needs to be available.

It is interesting - and tells you a lot about the politics that has infected every level of that agency. They should be ashamed of themselves.

@BK_Trump_1 @libsoftiktok By definition, a republic is a representative form of government that is ruled according to a charter, or constitution, and a democracy is a government that is ruled according to the will of the majority.

[Maureen Ireland @Moireland]

@GovMikeDeWine What have you done to safeguard our 2024 elections? Eliminate mass ballot mailings!

[Lara Logan @laralogan]

Worthless.

@JhWesten Bishop Strickland helped me build my faith over our our lockdown years and for this I will be forever grateful. Now we wait for God’s next move. 💔

[Bishop J. Strickland @BishStrickland]

I am urging all in the Diocese of Tyler and all other Catholics to join in this important call to prayer and fasting.

@Pontifex Can Rome worry about our Souls please?

Having tried just about every trick in the book to eliminate President Trump from running in this election, the left is now deploying a new tactic to bar him from ever holding office again: the 14th Amendment. As someone who is now polling in second or third place in most major national polls, I would be able to more easily win this GOP primary if Trump were eliminated from competition, but that’s not how I want to succeed. I stand on principle over politics, which is why I am sharing the following viewpoint despite the fact that Trump is one of my opponents in this primary:

Section 3 of the 14th Amendment states that any person who has “previously taken an oath ... as an officer of the United States ... to support the Constitution” is disqualified from holding public office if that person engaged “in insurrection or rebellion against the same, or given aid or comfort to the enemies thereof.” Politicized groups are attempting to make Trump ineligible to run for president, arguing he fomented and in fact engaged in insurrection on January 6. This is a perversion of the 14th Amendment.

The 14th Amendment was part of the “Reconstruction Amendments” that were ratified following the Civil War. It was passed to prohibit former Confederate military and political leaders from holding high federal or state office. These men had clearly taken part in a rebellion against the United States: the Civil War. Participants in the events of January 6 did not. And Trump, of course, was not even among them. That makes it all the more absurd that a left-wing group in Colorado is asking a federal court to disqualify the former president on the same grounds, arguing that his stump speeches on and before January 6 equate to rebellion against the United States.

And there’s another legal problem: Trump is not a former “officer of the United States,” as that term is used in the Constitution, meaning Section 3 does not apply. As the Supreme Court explained in Free Enterprise Fund v. Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (2010), an “officer of the United States” is someone appointed by the president to aid him in his duties under Article II, Section 2. The term does not apply to elected officials, and certainly not to the president himself. The Framers of the 14th Amendment would be shocked and appalled to see their narrow provision—intended to bar former U.S officials who switched to the Confederacy from seeking public office—being weaponized by a sitting president and his political allies to prevent a former president from seeking reelection.

I’ve said it before, and I’ll say it again: President Biden and his allies are engaging in election interference of the highest order. Yesterday’s filing is just the latest in a string of baseless lawsuits designed to silence political opponents and swing the election for Joe Biden, this time by depriving Americans of the right to vote for their candidate of choice. The judge assigned to this case should immediately toss it out. Our country is becoming unrecognizable to anyone who understands our Constitution, and we don’t have long to fix it.

Please read to understand what “outsiders “ are trying to do in Ohio and I’m sure in a state near you soon. Be ‼️ pay attention to elections.

[Alex Triantafilou 🇺🇸🐘🇺🇸 @ChairmanAlex]

And so it begins. “Qualified immunity” may not be a household term in Ohio. So let me put it in more basic terms. Now, they want to allow MORE LAWSUITS against INDIVIDUAL cops (not just their agency). And they want to put this in the state constitution. https://t.co/rgqE516fFu

[Ohio Senator Theresa Gavarone @theresagavarone]

The momentum in favor of Issue 1 is growing daily because Ohioans agree that there should be broad consensus across all 88 counties before Ohio’s most important document, our Constitution, is amended!

Vote YES on Issue 1 to protect our Constitution from special interests!
