BNTK- A new term is needed for what happens to people going down rabbit holes. BNTK. Bogus Need To Know. It’s a real affliction.

🚨 JUST IN: Sheridan Gorman's angel mom just dropped this raw truth nuke straight to Democrat members of Congress

"I don't understand why it's only the REPUBLICAN side that cares about our American children!"

"Basically what you just did, what you said was, 'I'm so sorry for your loss. I have a daughter too. I have a son. I feel your pain...'"

"You DON'T feel my pain. Because the next words out of your mouth were, 'BUT.'"

"There's no 'BUT' when your child is in a coffin!"

"And I need you to understand that. And if you ever want to talk about it, I'm here, I'm going to buy you a bench. I'm going to buy. You can put that on the record. I'm going to buy Congress the bench. And they can come and sit and hold my hand and look me in the eye and explain to me why illegal immigrants are more important than my daughter. I really want to know what because I don't understand!"

Anyone who knows about Clarence Thomas dissents knows they are almost always short and sweet.

The fact that he wrote a 91 page dissent for this monstrosity of a decision on birthright shows how absolutely infuriated he is.

The Supreme Court has made its decision, now Congress needs to respond.

We need to make sure illegal aliens don’t come into our country and EXPLOIT our immigration system.

That means closing EVERY. SINGLE. LOOPHOLE.

I have a bill, the SAFE KIDS Act, to combat the exploitation of U.S. surrogacy laws for birthright citizenship.

I have been fighting visa-free loopholes in U.S. territories participating in surrogacy schemes.

We also need to codify President Trump’s border actions so a future Democrat administration can’t undo them.

We need to be voting on these EVERY WEEK until we provide the American people with an answer for this question.

[Jack Posobiec @JackPosobiec]

Kavanaugh is telling Congress they can pass a bill to fix birthright citizenship and it wouldn't violate the 14th Amendment

Just add this to the SAVE Act and pass it all

Florida with Zero state income tax just eliminated property taxes for people who live in the state.

Meanwhile California who has the highest taxes in the nation wants a 5% wealth tax (from everyone).

And Florida with zero taxes is better run than California:

Take two disasters: Hurricane Ian (2022) vs Palisades Fire (2025)

Permitting and rebuild speed
• In 12 months LA county (including LA city) issued ~2,600 residential permits across Palisades and Altadena after nearly 13,000 homes were lost.

• In Lee County, Florida issued 53,452 permits in just four months after Hurricane Ian. Over 20x more permits in roughly one third the time.

Have boomers suggested to the administration that America can finance its 40 trillion dollar debt by skipping Starbucks and packing their lunches, and moving to undesirable distant towns?

This is quite possibly more words than he's spoken in his entire career on the bench

That's how bad this SCOTUS ruling was

[Nick Sortor @nicksortor]

Senate Republicans should run this ‘90s bill from Harry Reid (D-NV) which bars citizenship AND resident status for children of illegals.

Just copy and paste it.

Make Democrats remind the ENTIRE country how they’ve turned on the American people in favor of illegals.

BREAKING: Secretary of State Marco Rubio hits back at claims of a U.S. oil blockade on Cuba:

"Here's what's happening with Cuba, okay? Cuba used to get free oil from Venezuela. They would take like 60% of that oil and resell it for cash. It wouldn't even go to benefit the people. So the only blockade that's happened is ... the Venezuelans have decided we're not giving you free oil anymore."

"The reason that I can't fix it is not just because they're communist. That's bad enough, but they're incompetent communists."

To everyone on the left complaining about cuts in USAID, here's an idea: start your own charities with your own money, get your friends to donate, no more grifting off the taxpayers. I'm totally in favor of anyone donating voluntarily!

[Secretary Brooke Rollins @SecRollins]

Today, we cut the ribbon on the new Freedom Plaza and unveiled 13 new statues honoring the heroes of the American Revolution.

For a time, it all seemed hopeless. We watched statues torn down, our history erased, and many wondered if America was losing sight of who we are.

But 250 years ago, it seemed hopeless then, too.

Our Founders were a ragtag band of patriots standing against the most powerful empire in the world. They endured defeat, sacrifice, and impossible odds. Yet they refused the easy path of submission or compromise because they believed liberty was worth fighting for.

These statues are a reminder that America's story is worth preserving, our history is worth honoring, and the ideals our Founders fought for are worth defending.

As we celebrate 250 years of independence, may Freedom Plaza stand as a lasting tribute to the courage, sacrifice, and love of country that gave birth to the greatest nation on Earth. 🇺🇸

For too long, outdated rules based on old technology held back American aerospace innovation. Now, we are updating those rules for the first time since the 1970s.

Today @USDOT announced a new proposal to enable civil supersonic flight by replacing speed limits with noise limits, ushering in a new era of safer, quieter, and faster air travel for all Americans.

Thank you @SecDuffy and @FAA_Bryan for your leadership in ensuring the future of flight is invented and built in the USA.

.@SecScottBessent: I encourage everyone with a child 18 or under to open @TrumpAccounts because we have over 80 corporations that are going to put money into Trump Accounts—and we think that up to 20 states may also contribute to these accounts. This is a game-changer.

Makes perfect sense

[​𝐥𝐲𝐫𝐚 @sunnkssdseraph]

According to psychology, the urge to immediately fix a partner’s or friend’s distress instead of just sitting with them in it isn't empathy; it is your own low frustration tolerance. When someone you love is hurting, and you instantly jump into problem-solving mode, offering unsolicited advice or trying to find a silver lining, you are often trying to soothe your own secondary anxiety. You aren't rescuing them from their pain; you are rescuing yourself from the discomfort of witnessing a vulnerability you don't know how to hold.

In 1986, Donald Trump was one of the first recipients of the Ellis Island Medal of Honor, alongside Muhammad Ali and Rosa Parks. How is that not widely known? Even @LaraLeaTrump was blown away by this:

“So many prominent Democrats, including Barack Obama, including Joe Biden… they were all saying the things that Donald Trump has been saying for the past 11 years [about illegal immigration]. And yet, all of a sudden, that's a problem. All of a sudden, you're xenophobic, you're racist if you say those things."

Read this post today and it sounded familiar - "hottest on record/fossil energy greed" yada yada yada.

Did some digging and like clockwork - the good Senator puts up nearly identical posts every summer when it gets hot - dating back to 2016.

Here a sample of the last ten years - skipping several for brevity.

2016
August 16, 2016: "July was the hottest month ever recorded. When do Republicans stop putting fossil fuel profits over people's health?"

2019
( a particularly active summer for the Senator)

July 5, 2019: "It was 115 degrees Fahrenheit in France last week – the highest temperature they have ever recorded. Still think climate change is a hoax, @realDonaldTrump ? You are delusional."

July 19, 2019:
"The past 5 years are the hottest on record This June is the hottest June recorded Thousands die in heatwaves around the world. Trump's ignorance is threatening the lives of our children. For their sake, we must stand up to the fossil fuel industry and build a green economy."

August 6, 2019:
"July 2019 was the hottest month in recorded history. Make no mistake: this is an emergency. We cannot afford to simply wait Trump out. Congress must act boldly to tackle the climate threat—the fate of our children and grandchildren depend on it."

August 16, 2019:
"It's confirmed: July was the hottest month ever recorded. How insane is it that our Environmental Protection Agency is now run by a former coal lobbyist? We must stand up to the fossil fuel industry and say: you will no longer dictate our climate policy."

2021
June 27, 2021:
Pacific Northwest "most severe heat in ... history ... 'historic, dangerous, prolonged and unprecedented'" per National Weather Service; "Yes. We have to act BOLDLY to address climate change."

August 12, 2021
(and similar August 13th and 21st posts):
"A huge fire in Siberia ... Greece: burning. California: burning. Oregon: burning. July 2021 was the hottest month ever recorded. We must combat climate change now." /
"July was the hottest month EVER recorded on Earth. ... how can we afford NOT to [act on climate change]?" /
Global fires, Italy heat wave, July hottest, unite to combat climate change.

2024
July 28, 2024: "Each of the last 13 months has been the hottest on record. This summer alone has shattered hundreds of heat records across the United States. Billions of people have suffered worldwide. Climate change is not a hoax. The future of the planet is at stake."

August 7, 2024:
"Last month, July 21 broke the record for the hottest day ever recorded on Earth. Then, July 22 broke the record again. Don’t tell me climate change isn’t real. We’re seeing it right before our eyes."

And - just like clockwork 👇👇👇👇
