🚨 BOOM! Sen. Mike Lee just UNLEASHED on the Senate for doing NOTHING and planning August recess, while China hacks our election data!
“They target the American voter, the sacred heart of our citizenship, and we’re supposed to shrug it off?!
NO SIR, NOT ON MY WATCH!
We took an oath to defend the Constitution. Time to honor it or get the hell out of the way!”
Pass SAVE America Act NOW. No recess until elections are SECURED for AMERICANS ONLY!
Trump exposed it. Mike Lee nailed it.
BREAKING: The Department of War has identified the U.S. service member killed in the controlled detonation of an Iranian one-way attack drone at Erbil Air Base in Iraq.
He has been named as Sergeant Michael Emmanuel Swinton, 30, of Fayetteville, North Carolina.Sgt.
Swinton died on July 19 during the operation. A Facebook post by Swinton’s widow, Mia Gonzalez-Swinton, featured a photograph of her husband holding his daughter.
“I didn’t think this would be the last time I ever saw you,” she wrote. “I have no words.
R.I.P. to Sgt. Swinton for making the highest sacrifice. We honor your memory and pray for your family's healing.
The Uniparty: “We don’t have time to pass the SAVE America Act.”
Hardworking Americans: “You’ve got plenty of time; it’s *spine* that you seem to be lacking—not time.”
“I can’t understand why we let someone else rule our land.”
Those words are from a song by The Proclaimers called “Cap In Hand,” and they describe what will ultimately happen if we don’t pass the SAVE America Act.
We can get this done, but we have to be willing to work for it—and we have to make filibustering senators “earn” their right to filibuster by showing up and speaking on the Senate floor.
Death to the Zombie Filibuster™️!
Long live the SAVE America Act, and with it popular sovereignty in America.
We have the time to pass the SAVE America Act.
What we lack is the spine.
But we can find our spine again, just as we can choose to stay in session as long as it takes to pass the SAVE America Act—even if that requires working through weekends and long-scheduled recess time.
He told his students to go to the windows.
Get out. Jump if you have to.
Then Liviu Librescu walked to the classroom door and pressed his body against it.
He was 76 years old. He weighed 140 lbs
The gunman was in the hallway.
It was April 16, 2007. A Monday morning. Solid mechanics class at Virginia Tech, Room 204. Twenty-two students, most of them 19 or 20 years old.
At 9:45 AM, gunshots echoed through Norris Hall. Room by room, the shooter was working his way down the corridor.
Liviu heard it. He understood immediately.
He had survived the Holocaust. He had survived a labor camp. He had spent decades living under Communist oppression. He knew exactly what evil sounded like.
He told his students to escape through the windows. Second floor — it was a drop, but they'd survive. Then he walked to the door and held it shut with his body.
The shooter tried to force it open. It wouldn't move.
He fired through the door. Wood splintered. Bullets came through.
Liviu stayed.
Behind him, students were climbing out the windows. Dropping to the ground. Running. One by one, all twenty-two of them got out.
The shooter kept firing through the door.
Liviu held it shut until every student was safe.
Then the bullets killed him.
When police arrived, they found his body at the door.
All 22 of his students survived. Not one was injured.
Liviu Librescu was born on August 18, 1930, in Ploiești, Romania.
He was Jewish. In 1941, when he was eleven years old, Romanian authorities sent him and his family to a labor camp. His father died there. Liviu survived. When the war ended, he was fifteen.
He went back to school. Studied engineering. Earned a doctorate from the University of Bucharest.
But Communist Romania had no interest in allowing a Jewish intellectual to succeed. He was blocked from academic positions. Passed over for jobs he deserved. He applied to emigrate. The government kept refusing.
Finally, in 1978 when Liviu was 48 years old — Israeli Prime Minister Menachem Begin personally intervened. Romania let him go.
He had spent most of his adult life trapped in a country that didn't want him.
In Israel, he taught at Tel Aviv University. Published over 300 papers. Became an international expert in aeroelasticity — the science of how air flows over aircraft wings.
In 1985, Virginia Tech offered him a position. He moved to Blacksburg, Virginia. He taught there for 22 years. His students loved him — demanding but kind, high standards, genuine care.
He was still teaching full-time at 76. Still publishing research. Still showing up every Monday morning for solid mechanics.
April 16 was the first day of Passover — the Jewish holiday celebrating liberation from slavery and oppression.
Liviu Librescu died on the day his tradition sets aside to celebrate freedom.
He spent his entire life escaping death and oppression by luck, by persistence, by the intervention of others. And on his last morning, he chose to stand at a door so that twenty-two young people could have the future he had fought so hard to reach.
He could have run. He could have hidden. He could have climbed out a window with his students.
He chose to stay.
The Virginia Tech shooting killed 32 people that day — the deadliest school shooting in American history at the time.
Room 204 had zero casualties.
Because a 76-year-old Holocaust survivor held a door with his body until every student behind him was gone.
His funeral was held in Israel. Students from Virginia Tech flew across the ocean to honor him. The Israeli government awarded him the Star of David Medal posthumously. Virginia Tech named a scholarship in his memory.
His son said his father died the way he lived — protecting others.
A man who survived everything evil threw at him for 76 years.
On his last day, he made sure 22 kids survived too.
Professor Liviu Librescu. August 18, 1930 — April 16, 2007.
Holocaust survivor. Labor camp survivor.
302 published papers. 22 years at Virginia Tech.
22 students out the window.
He held the door.
🚨WOW!!!
Every Tuesday and Thursday for EIGHT YEARS STRAIGHT, a 73-year-old grandfather has volunteered at a Virginia hospital NICU to hold babies fighting for their lives, some weighing under 2 POUNDS.
And before he lays each one down, he whispers the same blessing over every baby:
"Grow strong. Grow smart. Grow kind." ❤️
His name is Dave Whitlow. He's 73 years old.
He's not a doctor or a nurse. He's a retired government manager, a father of two, a grandfather of three... who decided his retirement belonged to the smallest, most fragile babies in Richmond VA.
Every visit, he holds five or six of them, babies smaller than a loaf of bread, whose parents can't be there every hour because they need to work.
So Dave is there and he's never once missed a day.
"It's the best gig I've ever had. It just feels right."
He doesn't just hold the babies, he says the job is holding up the exhausted parents and the worn-down nurses too. "It all kind of gets tied together, they need God's love too."
For 8 years, every single baby gets the same blessing before he lays them down:
"Grow strong. Grow smart. Grow kind."
Why those words?
"This is what I want from people in general."
He says that somewhere out there in the world are eight years of kids, currently walking, running, starting school, who will never know that when they were two pounds and fighting for every breath, he held them and spoke those words over their lives.
That brings him joy.
He calls that NICU a family he never expected and can't imagine leaving.
GOD BLESS Dave Whitlow.
Grow strong. Grow smart. Grow kind. 🇺🇸
Rest easy First Lt. Tyler James Feehan. Tyler was among the 3 casualties the DOW recently reported.
Our hearts go out to his family, friends and teammates.
1st Lt. Tyler James Feehan, 25, of Ewa Beach, Hawaii.
Pvt. Isabella Gonzales, 19, of Carrollton, Texas.
The ultimate sacrifice.
Our nation grieves.
Heroes. 🇺🇸
We owe a debt that can never truly be repaid.
To every American service member who gave their life, thank you.
You will never be forgotten. Forever grateful. 🇺🇸
Protect the Fourth Amendment!
No warrantless surveillance of law-abiding citizens!
Use technology to catch criminals—not to track every Michigan driver!
Require warrants, transparency, and strict limits on data sharing!
GOP Governor Primary polling shows a devastating absence of support for John James in the General election. If that many don't vote for the MIGOP's RINO candidate, Benson wins in a landslide of epic proportion. Its not too late to save Michigan! Vote Perry Johnson August 4th!
Thank you to Moms for Liberty for the tremendous work you are doing to defend parental rights, protect our children, and stand up for common sense in our schools!
Michigan needs more courageous parents willing to speak out and fight back. While I wish I could be at your event tonight in person, I am proud to stand with you, now and always!
Standing under the oaks in Jackson, where our Republican Party was founded, was truly humbling.
This is sacred ground. This is where ordinary Americans - outsiders, not the political establishment - had the courage to stand up, challenge the status quo, and launch a movement rooted in freedom.
That same spirit is exactly what we need in Michigan today.
We don’t need more politicians managing decline, we need reformers willing to fix what’s broken. That’s why I’m running: to bring accountability to Lansing, deliver the MEGA Audit, eliminate the income tax, and finally give families real relief through property tax reform.
Special thanks to Jackson County GOP Chairman Russ Jennings, Pastor Ralph Rebandt, Under the Oaks Project founder Lance Griffin, and data center hazard expert Kristen Meghan Kelley for joining us. Incredible energy, incredible people, and tremendous momentum.
