A Muslim asked a Christian man about the Crusades in the Middle Ages.

“Before the Crusades, Islam had invaded the Christian lands of Syria, Jordan, Egypt, Algeria, Libya, Morocco, Spain, Portugal, Turkey. And was trying to conquer Europe.”

Another Muslim asks about the European slave trade.

“The Islamic slave trade had existed for centuries before the European slave trade, from both Africa and Europe. And it never really ended.

Your prophet Muhammad was a slave trader.”

🚨 BREAKING: I am calling on President Trump, the U.S. Department of Justice, the FBI, and other federal authorities to investigate SERIOUS election integrity concerns in Oregon’s Republican primary election.

IMPORTANT: This does not mean I think anyone other than Christine Drazan won. This is to stand up for the numerous reports of disenfranchised voters we’ve received.

FULL STATEMENT ⬇️

[Daniel Horowitz @RMConservative]

Brad Little is the embodiment of everything everyone on maga inc. twitter and in adjacent NGOs loath. He was finally done with his second term, and it was clear he had no chance to win a third time. Trump came in and endorsed him early for a third term in a promising red state, which chased out any quality challenger. Even so, he only got 58%, which is a weak result, and clearly shows that without Trump, he was beatable.

In turn, this freed up Little to pony up hundreds of thousands from pro illegal alien groups to knock out conservatives who were trying to end illegal immigration in Idaho.

This dynamic has been playing out for five cycles and will continue to play out again and again and again.

What the Cornyn /Paxton race shows is that when the power brokers in MAGA inc. want to unite and send Trump a clear "get off our lawn" sign, it works.

Lead Trump, rather than follow him, and you will get better results. But in every other case aside from Texas, you are seeing the opposite. And i mean EVERYWHERE. Primaries have been cancelled all over the country.

Are we going to continue doing this next cycle too? Meanwhile, we are rebuilding a bench of corporatist Republicans who do not share our values but will serve as the farm team for elected office in red states for a generation to come.

Activist: "American cattle ranching is destroying the Great Plains."

Rancher: "How many bison were here in 1800?"

Activist: "A lot."

Rancher: "Sixty million. Same biomass as every cow in America today. Standing on the same grass."

Activist: "That was different."

Rancher: "How?"

Activist: "It was natural."

Rancher: "It was ruminants. Eating grass. Trampling it. Dunging it. The grassland built six feet of topsoil underneath them."

Activist: "Then we shouldn't have killed them."

Rancher: "Correct. We killed them, ploughed the prairie, and got the Dust Bowl in thirty years. Largest ecological collapse in American history."

Activist: "..."

Rancher: "The fix wasn't fewer animals. The fix was putting them back. The grass evolved to be eaten."

Activist: "So reintroduce bison."

Rancher: "Or use the 1,200-pound ruminant that's already here, in the same numbers, doing the same job, on the same grass."

Activist: "It's not the same."

Rancher: "It's the same animal with a different accent."

Activist: "It still feels wrong."

Rancher: "The thing that felt wrong was killing the bison. The cattle are how we're paying it back. Take them off and you finish the job we started in 1870."

[Rand Paul @RandPaul]

TODAY is the day. The DOJ must charge Fauci for lying under oath or lose the chance forever. This man oversaw gain-of-function research at the Wuhan lab, lied to Congress about it repeatedly, and watched as you were called crazy for asking questions. The statute of limitations expires tomorrow. The American people have waited long enough for accountability.

Washington State Democrats have terminated pension plans for police officers & firefighters, raiding billions to pay for Democrat Spending

It has become the first state in US history to terminate a public employee pension plan.

The legislature in Olympia passed the bill and the related federal lawsuit filed in Seattle.

Governor Bob Ferguson, a Democrat, signed Engrossed Second Substitute House Bill 2034 (E2SHB 2034) into law.

The termination of LEOFF Plan 1 takes effect June 30, 2029.

Details:
🔺️LEOFF Plan 1 covers law enforcement officers and firefighters hired before October 1, 1977.

🔺️It closed to new members decades ago and now serves about 5,500-6,000 mostly retired members and beneficiaries.

🔺️As of the state's own June 2024 actuarial valuation, the plan stood at 160% funded, with a substantial surplus.

🔺️No employer or employee contributions have been required for 25 years since it hit full funding around 2000.

🔺️Projections showed it heading to over 200% funded with a $4.3 billion surplus by 2029.

🔺️The law terminates the existing plan and "restates" it into a new system.

🔺️It transfers enough assets to the new fund to leave it at 110% funded, then sweeps the rest - expected at $3.9 billion - into a pension surplus holding account.

🔺️From there, politicians can redirect it for general spending.

🔺️$569 million goes to the Climate Commitment Account and $880 million goes to refill the rainy day fund that Democrats already drained to cover a deficit they created through overspending.

Other portions eyed climate programs and general budget gaps.

The Bill was sponsored by Rep. Timm Ormsby (D-Spokane), it passed the House 55-39 (every yes vote was a Democrat, while republicans voted no).

The state claims members have a contractual right only to their benefits, not surplus assets, and that ~80% of original contributions came from the state. Critics call this a betrayal of the deal for first responders who risk their lives to protect the public.

Retired first responders sued with former King County Sheriff and Congressman Dave Reichert (R), who served as a LEOFF 1 member since 1972 being the lead plaintiff.

Other plaintiffs include leaders from retired police and firefighter associations.

Many say local and state governments are funding illegal migrants while ripping away pensions for first responders.

𝐓𝐇𝐄𝐘 𝐄𝐑𝐀𝐒𝐄𝐃 𝟒𝟔𝟑 𝐘𝐄𝐀𝐑𝐒 𝐅𝐑𝐎𝐌 𝐘𝐎𝐔𝐑 𝐇𝐈𝐒𝐓𝐎𝐑𝐘 𝐁𝐎𝐎𝐊𝐒. 𝐇𝐄𝐑𝐄 𝐀𝐑𝐄 𝐓𝐇𝐄 𝐑𝐄𝐂𝐄𝐈𝐏𝐓𝐒.

Every time someone trots out the Crusades to lecture Christians or the West, they leave out four centuries of history. I'm putting it back on the record.

𝐓𝐡𝐞 𝐂𝐨𝐧𝐪𝐮𝐞𝐬𝐭 𝐁𝐞𝐠𝐚𝐧 𝐈𝐦𝐦𝐞𝐝𝐢𝐚𝐭𝐞𝐥𝐲

Muhammad died in 632. Within three years, Muslim armies had taken Damascus (635). The next year, Antioch (636). The year after that, the entire Holy Land (637) — the spiritual center of Christendom, gone. Armenia became the first Christian nation fully conquered (639). Egypt, the Coptic Christian power, fell two years later (641). By 650, Muslim forces had reached southern Italy and Cyprus, taking thousands of captives as "𝘴𝘭𝘢𝘷𝘦𝘴" and "𝘤𝘰𝘯𝘤𝘶𝘣𝘪𝘯𝘦𝘴." Then came Spain — Muslim armies crossed from North Africa in 711 and overran most of Iberia by 715.

In roughly 80 years, Christianity lost the Middle East, North Africa, and most of the Iberian Peninsula.

𝐓𝐡𝐞𝐲 𝐈𝐧𝐯𝐚𝐝𝐞𝐝 𝐄𝐮𝐫𝐨𝐩𝐞 — 𝐑𝐞𝐩𝐞𝐚𝐭𝐞𝐝𝐥𝐲

This was not exploration. This was conquest. In 717, Muslim forces besieged Constantinople itself — the capital of Eastern Christendom. The siege lasted a year before they were repelled. Had it succeeded, the path into Europe would have been wide open.

In 730, they invaded France. Charles Martel stopped them at Tours. In 792, the ruler of Al-Andalus called for a second invasion of France. Repelled. In 848, a third invasion of France. Repelled again.

In 827, Muslims invaded Sicily and Italy, persecuting monks and pillaging Christian communities. Sicily would remain under Islamic rule for 250 years. In 846, they invaded Rome itself and forced the Pope to pay tribute. By 909, they had taken Sardinia.

This was relentless, coordinated, and existential.

𝐓𝐡𝐞𝐧 𝐓𝐡𝐞𝐲 𝐀𝐭𝐭𝐚𝐜𝐤𝐞𝐝 𝐖𝐡𝐚𝐭 𝐌𝐚𝐭𝐭𝐞𝐫𝐞𝐝 𝐌𝐨𝐬𝐭

In 937, the Church of the Holy Sepulcher — built over the site Christians believe is the tomb of Christ — was burned to the ground. More churches in Jerusalem were torched alongside it. In 1009, the Church of the Resurrection was destroyed. By 1012, Al-Hakim's oppressive decrees against Christians had begun in earnest.

Christian pilgrims could no longer safely visit the sites of Christ's ministry. The holiest city in Christendom was ruled by a hostile power systematically destroying the faith itself.

𝐓𝐡𝐞𝐧 𝐂𝐨𝐧𝐬𝐭𝐚𝐧𝐭𝐢𝐧𝐨𝐩𝐥𝐞 𝐂𝐚𝐥𝐥𝐞𝐝 𝐟𝐨𝐫 𝐇𝐞𝐥𝐩

In 1071, Muslim Turkish forces shattered the Byzantine army at Manzikert and occupied most of Anatolia. Constantinople was now directly threatened.

In 1094, Byzantine Emperor Alexios I Komnenos sent envoys to Rome begging Western Christendom for military aid.

In 1095, Pope Urban II declared the First Crusade.

The Kill Switch was pitched to Congress as a way to stop drunk driving—but its real-world implications are far more troubling.

No government should have the authority to remotely control a vehicle you paid for, or turn it into a tool for surveillance.

Stop the overreach. Kill the Kill Switch.

[Steve Deace @SteveDeaceShow]

I’m not sure how the GOP generationally survives if it could not pass something widely supported by even normies that will help it win more elections. You can’t just openly signal to your base you’re fine losing. There’s peeing on people and then there’s defecating on them.

[Rand Paul @RandPaul]

The DOJ has ONE WEEK left to charge Anthony Fauci for the worst cover-up in modern medical history.

He lied to Congress about funding gain-of-function research in Wuhan. Millions died. Trillions were spent. And Fauci walked away with book deals and fawning media coverage instead of handcuffs. I re-upped my criminal referral to the DOJ because the evidence is overwhelming, and justice has been delayed long enough.

RT if you’re ready to see Fauci behind bars.
