Hello @AOC, while you smiled in a hijab at a New York event, I was in Federal Court facing the 4th hitman hired by the Islamic Republic to assassinate me, for campaigning for Iranian women to have the same freedom you performed for a photo op. Will you come to court with me in August when I face the 5th hitman? Or does solidarity only work when it doesn't offend the Islamic regime?

You wore hijab voluntarily in New York. Women are killed in Iran for taking it off.

You are the very woman who, at every opportunity, protests against violence against women, decries gender segregation, and champions "inclusion." Yet here you stand, smiling and wearing a hijab, at an event in New York, in the heart of the West, where men and women are strictly separated. To me and millions of Iranian women, this does not look like a choice. It is no longer "My body, my choice," but rather "My body for votes."

They who claim to fight for women's self-determination in the name of feminism voluntarily embrace an ideology that mandates our women cover their hair simply because they are women. They enjoy the prosperity, freedom, and privileges of the Western world, where they may live as autonomous individuals , yet they simultaneously accept that other women should not be afforded the same rights.

The last time debt hit these levels, America had just helped win a World War. What's our excuse today? Runaway spending. Bloated budgets. A uniparty that refuses to say no.

I've said no. I'll keep saying no. But I need Americans to demand better from their representatives.

My boss's boss is like 42, never married, no kids. Earns $275-300K per year. Goes on a minimum of two international vacations a year w/ his girlfriend. 10+ days, all out.

Eats the best food, stays in top notch accomodations. Excursions, tours, nicest beaches, etc.

Great guy, I'm happy for him.

But what I've realized is that without kids, you end up chasing a lifestyle that has to continually be topped in order for you to be satisfied and find happiness.

What he and others like him don't understand is that when you have children, seeing THEM experience life's most basic things and watching their eyes light up at all the "firsts", brings greater pleasure and joy than any vacation or travel experience ever could.

Seeing THEM try blueberries for the first time is greater than dining at the best 5 star restaurant in Europe.

Seeing THEM learn how to walk is greater than walking the Great Wall of China or strolling along the most picturesque beach.

Watching THEM giggle uncontrollably at "peek-a-boo" tops any A-list comedian act.

Seeing THEIR excitement when building a fort out of cardboard boxes and making a door big enough for daddy is superior to staying at 5-star resorts.

Flying kites with THEM far outweighs excursions like parasailing or helicopter rides.

Seeing THEM perform a recital on stage for the first time is more rewarding than watching a Broadway show or top notch symphony orchestra.

-----------------

When you have children, all of a sudden you realize that life's greatest joys are not in the pursuit of things or pleasure or travel, but rather in the LOVE and bond you share with your very own image bearers.

Seeing the beauty and magnificence and wonder of life all over again for the first time through THEIR eyes and expressions gives you something the world simply cannot offer, nor even come close.

He was just cashing a check when he heard the gunshots.
April 22, 1970. Security Pacific Bank, South Los Angeles.
LAPD Officer Earl L. Riddick, 30 years old, walked into the bank on his day off. Two years on the force. A wife at home. Three children waiting for daddy to come back.
He didn't know the bank had just been robbed.
As he stepped inside, a man burst through the doors. Ex-convict Charles Henry Mack — a violent predator who'd murdered one person every month since his parole seven months earlier.
Riddick watched in horror as Mack fired point-blank at security guard George MacMullen, 50. The guard crumpled to the ground, mortally wounded.
Officer Riddick didn't freeze. He didn't run. He drew his weapon.
In the gun battle that erupted on that Los Angeles street, the off-duty officer confronted pure evil — knowing he had everything to lose. Mack's bullets found their mark. Riddick fell, dying.
But even as life drained from him, he fired back — shattering the rear window of Mack's fleeing vehicle.
That shattered glass became a trail for other officers to follow. Minutes later, cornered in an alley, Mack died in a shootout with responding officers.
Officer Riddick died that day. So did the security guard. But Mack's killing spree — one murder per month for seven months — finally ended.
Riddick left behind Brenda, his wife. Three children: Dana, Deborah, and David — the youngest barely old enough to remember his father's face.
In September 1970, the LAPD posthumously awarded Earl L. Riddick the Medal of Valor.
But the most powerful tribute came 40 years later.
His son, David, had grown up and joined the LAPD himself. On the 40th anniversary of his father's murder, Officer David Riddick wrote:
"I am celebrating 15 years of service to the LAPD and have tried to honor my Dad's name during that time. His loss is still very difficult to deal with. My Dad was an 'Officer's Officer' based on all the things his peers have expressed to me. Being an LAPD officer has given me an insight into what kind of man he was."
A two-year veteran officer. An off-duty cop just cashing a check. A split-second decision that cost him everything — but saved countless future victims from a serial killer.
And a son who chose to walk the same dangerous path, honoring the father he barely got to know.
Some legacies are written in paperwork and medals. Others are written in bloodlines and choices — in a son who puts on the same badge, walks the same streets, and carries his father's name forward into the darkness.
That's what courage looks like across generations.

When exceptions are no longer exceptional there will be great differences. The EPC is relatively peaceful because they have baked an ethos of latitude into their standards; the PCA has not. Those who voted for "good faith subscription" 25 years ago probably envisioned that exceptions would be "safe, legal, and rare," not divisive, disputed, and common.

You can pay off your mortgage. The bank is done with you.

The property tax bill never stops. Miss enough payments and the county seizes your home — the home you paid for.

Idaho collects $2.3 billion in property taxes every year. The state budget tops $14 billion. We can replace every dollar of local property tax with state revenue.
That is not a talking point. It is math.

Eliminating property taxes is my number one priority.

We bring in $5 trillion. We spend $7 trillion. We borrow the difference. The Fed prints money to cover it.

That's inflation. And inflation is making you poorer.

The @RPCNA, one of America’s oldest denominations, and a stalwart confessional one, today convicted Samuel Ketcham (@ket38111) of all counts in his ecclesiastical trial for violating the 3rd, 5th, 6th, and 9th commandments in his advocacy of the false teaching of kinism/race realism and joining the false church founded by apostate Michael Spangler.

He was deposed from his ordination, and excommunicated from the visible Christian church.
