Ok, Virginia. Bert is going up against Mark Warner … if you’re not following him, please do. He will need our support, and then some. :)

But we can do it.

Congrats on the win!

🎶 Ground Invasion in Kuwait
Oil crisis in the Strait!

Khamenei gone in a flash of light, February twenty-eight!

Missiles flying, drones in the night, Beirut burning, Gulf states ignite!

Trump and Bibi drop the hammer, nuclear dreams turned to clamor!

Retaliation, bases hit,
Tehran smashed, Saudi grit!

Ceasefire talks in Islamabad, Hormuz blocked, oil prices mad.

Ships attacked, tankers flee,
desal plants are debris!

IRGC vows no retreat, new supreme leader incomplete.

Proxy shoot from Yemen's shore,
global markets hit the floor.

We didn't start the fire
It was always burning since the world's been turning!

We didn't start the fire,
No, we didn't light it, but we tried to fight it!

Strikes on ports and power grids.
Truce collapses, nothing sticks
Muwaffaq Salti under fire,
Iran troops in the pyre!

Kuwait threatened, bases eyed, Iran pushes, Gulfies divide.
Blockade back, Brent crude high,
Asia shortages multiply!

Pezeshkian calls it war,
mediators at the door.
July heat and renewed rage, hundred forty targets engaged!

Electricity black, rails destroyed, brinkmanship fully deployed.
Millions displaced, economies strained, history's wheel turns again!

From Epic Fury to Iran pain, the cycle spins the same refrain.

We didn't start the fire,
It was always burning since the world's been turning!
We didn't start the fire
No, we didn't light it, but we tried to fight it!

Desert Storm echoes loud,
Flat circle spinning 'round.

Israel holding, proxies down,
Strait kinda open but ships aground!

Gas at four bucks, nerves are frayed, superpowers in the fray.

Future uncertain, talks delayed, Middle East forever remade!

From Khamenei's end to Hormuz dread, the fire rages on ahead,
US victor but no clean slate,
just the next chapter, same old fate!

🎶

To the tune of Bill Joel's "We Didn't Start The Fire."

44 seconds of Hamas terrorists shooting mortars in civilian clothes so that when Israel kills them, the world will believe they were just innocent civilians.

It was all propaganda to begin with.

This is one of the most famous paintings in America, and most people have no idea what they are actually looking at...

The painting is Christina's World, made by Andrew Wyeth in 1948, and the woman was real: her name was Anna Christina Olson, Wyeth's neighbour in Cushing, Maine. Since childhood a degenerative condition had slowly taken the strength from her legs, until walking was no longer possible. She refused a wheelchair, and for her entire adult life she chose to drag herself across the ground with her arms instead, going wherever she wanted to go under her own power.

Wyeth saw her one afternoon from an upstairs window, alone in that vast field, crawling slowly toward the house on the hill. He said the painting was an attempt to do justice to her extraordinary conquest of a life which most people would consider hopeless. Her world, he said, was limited physically but by no means spiritually.

That is what turns this painting from a portrait of frailty into one of the most triumphant images ever made...

Look at it long enough and it stops being about what her body took from her, and becomes about what she would not stop doing anyway. The field is enormous and she is small and the house is far away, and still she goes, because the alternative, to be carried, to give up, to let the distance win, was something she simply would not accept.

There is one more thing: Christina loved this painting. Pink was her favorite color, and Wyeth had placed her exactly where she most wanted to be, out in the open, in her own field, under her own sky. Late in her life, when she could no longer even crawl out to that field, she said something that holds the whole meaning of art inside it:

"Andy put me where he knew I wanted to be. Now that I can’t be there anymore, all I do is think of that picture, and I’m there."

Remember, all Muslim countries in the Middle East were once Christian.

When Muslims invaded them, they killed the men, raped the women, and enslaved the children.

That’s how those countries became Islamic. And that’s exactly what they’re trying to do in Europe and America now.

🚨BREAKING: Benjamin Netanyahu just posted this on X:

"Mamdani and his wife celebrated October 7th massacre, the worst massacre against Jews since the Holocaust, and he's foisting hate and fear. I speak to Jewish-Americans in NY and they're afraid right now."

He's 100% correct.

[Johnny Midnight ⚡️ @its_The_Dr]

In fact they brought in people that were not vaccinated!

Mexican American makes a very good point

He says he’s notices a very obvious loophole in the Democrat narrative

“I don't get how these Democrats say that Republicans and ICE want all the Mexicans out. When you watch these videos of ICE detaining an illegal immigrant that's Mexican — Why don't they grab 50 to 100 people that are Mexicans standing around recording? I'll tell you why. Because they're not hunting down all Mexicans. They're not trying to get rid of all the Mexicans”

He makes the very good point that all of these viral videos of ICE detaining people are always in massive crowds. There are hundreds of Mexicans standing around filming

So very logically if ICE and Donald Trump were just rounding up Mexicans they would grab everyone, but they don’t. They don’t because ICE is only looking for criminals first and illegals

So back in February of this year, a 17 year old was shot and killed by Elkhart, Indiana police. The community became outraged, held memorials, called for justice, and even started a GoFundMe for the family, raising $25,000. So what did the bodycam show? It showed the teen firing a fully automatic gun at officers before being shot and killed.

Bodycam's have been the largest self own in leftist history.

Just a quick reminder that they arrested this guy for paddleboarding alone in the ocean during Covid while Anthony Fauci had dinner with Jake Tapper and his wife in DC and Gavin Newsome hosted a party with friends in California.
