Kimmel’s hateful and violent rhetoric is intended to divide our country. His monologue about my family isn’t comedy- his words are corrosive and deepens the political sickness within America.

People like Kimmel shouldn’t have the opportunity to enter our homes each evening to spread hate.

A coward, Kimmel hides behind ABC because he knows the network will keep running cover to protect him.

Enough is enough.  It is time for ABC to take a stand.  How many times will ABC’s leadership enable Kimmel’s atrocious behavior at the expense of our community.

@robbysoave @RepDonBacon So will there be a revised worded bill that protects the wrongly accused and the victims, but lists all of the rest that used our tax dollars to pay settlements? @RepDonBacon Mike Flood & Adrian Smith

🚨 HOLY CRAP! Chuck Schumer is going viral for demanding ID CHECKS to prevent fraud in the late 1990s

"Everywhere people go, they're asked for Social Security or driver's license!" 🤯

"This is anti-fraud!"

Now? "ID is Jim Crow 2.0"

You're a CLOWN, CHUCK! PASS VOTER ID NOW.

🚨I DIDNT WANT to do it BUT I have too.

You didn’t see this yet.

The narrative that “he was just filming and the officers got angry” is false.

The narrative that he was only trying to protect two women is also false.

He, along with others, was actively interfering with a legitimate law-enforcement operation. That is why officers moved them off the street.

That does not mean he deserved to die.

When officers attempted to detain him, he resisted arrest.

That does not mean he deserved to die.

He was armed and chose to insert himself into an active enforcement operation while resisting arrest.

That does not mean he deserved to die.

An agent called out the presence of a firearm. During the attempt to secure it, the weapon discharged before the agent could declare the scene clear. Other officers, hearing a gun call and a gunshot while a suspect was resisting arrest, reacted according to their training.

From their perspective, they were confronting an armed individual resisting arrest. That is why, immediately after the shooting, one officer urgently asked where the firearm was. He believed he had just engaged an armed suspect, because that is precisely the situation as it appeared in real time.

He did not deserve to die. However, his actions, his decisions, and his criminal interference were contributing factors, alongside serious failures by the officers involved.

I believe the shooting was unnecessary. I believe there were many alternative ways the situation could have been handled. I do not believe the officers were truly under lethal threat.

Recklessness on all sides resulted in a man losing his life.

Approximately 23 percent of ICE activity occurs in Texas, yet we do not see these outcomes there. Minnesota accounts for roughly 2 percent of ICE operations, yet has seen multiple shootings involving American citizens.

The difference is organized resistance. Blue states have coordinated efforts designed to insert civilians into active ICE operations to interfere intentionally and directly.

Interfering with law-enforcement operations is illegal, and it is dangerous. This is how people get killed.

Resisting arrest is illegal, and it is dangerous. This is how people get killed.

Within the Second Amendment community, there is a common saying: “I would rather be judged by twelve than carried by six.” It refers to choosing survival over moral victory.

That same principle applies to interactions with law enforcement.

Would you rather be right, or would you rather be alive?

Make smart decisions when dealing with law enforcement. Survive the encounter. Then take the fight to court. Use every lawful platform available to expose misconduct. Name departments, supervisors, and officers. Demand accountability through evidence and process.

But interfering with an active operation, resisting arrest, and doing so while armed creates a predictable and deadly outcome.

Was it legal for him to be armed? Yes.

Should citizens carry lawfully? Yes.

Is it profoundly reckless to interfere with law enforcement and resist arrest while armed? Absolutely.

When we carry firearms, we accept greater responsibility. That responsibility was neglected here.

It is possible to support immigration enforcement while condemning reckless policing.

It is possible to criticize law enforcement while also acknowledging the dangerous behavior of civilians.

It is possible to recognize complexity, rapid escalation, human error, and shared responsibility in a fast-moving situation.

He did not have to die.

Liberty only survives when it operates within order.

Nothing about this situation was orderly.

When order collapses, lives are lost.

He did not have to die.

Why can't the U.S. military leave these poor fisherman alone? It looks like they've already got their catch cleaned and neatly boxed up while out there on the boat, in the middle of the ocean, so if they don't get it back soon it might go bad.

Then the people in Venezuela could starve!!!

Virtually everything that Obama promised about Obamacare was a lie.

Now the country is stuck dealing with the ramifications.

Instead of taking responsibility, Democrats have shut down the government and are demanding that Republicans fix what they broke.

🔥Congratulations on this huge accomplishment coach!! 🎉 Now finish it off with another SoCon Ship!!🏆

[Insurrection Barbie @DefiyantlyFree]

“If you like your plan, you can keep it” was proven false as millions lost their plans.

“If you like your doctor, you can keep your doctor” was false for many as doctor networks changed.

“Premiums will go down by $2,500” was contradicted when premiums actually rose after implementation.

“Obamacare would reduce the deficit” but costs and deficit climbed instead.

“Everyone would have more access to care” but many still struggled with access despite coverage.

Lies. Lies and more lies.

[Sassafrass84 @Sassafrass_84]

When the Affordable Care Act passed. behind closed doors, without one Republican vote, the average annual premiums for a family of four people was around $1,000 per year.

In a three year period, a family of four ended up having to pay annual premiums of $5,000 and an excessive amount of out-of-pocket costs before the medical insurance paid. It was a scam before it was passed.

We all know. This happened to all of us.

[MAZE @mazemoore]

2013. Obama talks about how incredibly irresponsible it would be for Congress to shut down the government in order to blackmail a President into making concessions.

Be sure to pass this along to Democrats.

[Speaker Mike Johnson @SpeakerJohnson]

Now the largest labor unions are pleading with the Democrats to pass the House’s clean CR funding bill and END THE SHUTDOWN IMMEDIATELY.

Their message is simple: Pay America’s workers. Reopen the government.

Democrats are losing the working class.

[Joe Rogan Podcast News @joeroganhq]

Joe Rogan: "California and New York won't even allow you to show your ID when you vote. There's only one reason why you would do that. Because you want people voting that shouldn't be voting. And you want it to count. Because you want to win."

[SaltyGoat @SaltyGoat17]

You can't really argue with this dude...

Narratives vs. Reality
-Trump hates immigrants - married to an immigrant
-Trump hates women - first ever woman Chief of Staff
-Trump will start WW3 - Stopped 8 wars in 9 months
-Trump is a dictator - People are free to protest him 24/7
-"Democracy" is at risk - Trump won electoral AND popular vote AND all swing states which sounds pretty democratic to me...

Anyone else smell the BS coming from the left?

[TheBlaze @theblaze]

- $2.9M to "desert locust reduction" in Africa
