THEY ARE AMBUSHING OUR PATRIOT POLICE OFFICERS AND SHOULD HAVE BEEN BEHIND BARS
This is why we need to support the police 100%. At ANY MOMENT the worst could happen, yet they serve anyway 🇺🇸
We do not have to live like this.
Cartels are adapting. They shift routes, use drones, and buy influence and protection wherever they can. That’s why our work through the Shield of the Americas is so important. By joining forces with our partner nations, we’re adapting too. We’re confronting and dismantling these criminal networks, and putting the security of our hemisphere and our people first.

The days of drug cartels operating with impunity in our hemisphere are coming to an end.
Through the Shield of the Americas, we’re strengthening partnerships, confronting criminal organizations, and putting America’s security first.
A safer Western Hemisphere means a safer America.

🚨WOW: A homeowner uses an AR-15 to stop three masked intruders armed with brass knuckles and a knife after they shatter a glass door to break into his home!
On March 27, 2017, three teenagers—19-year-old Maxwell Cook, 17-year-old Jacob Redfern, and 16-year-old Jaykob Woodriff—dressed in black, wearing masks and gloves, shattered a glass backdoor to force their way into a home in Wagoner County, Oklahoma.
The intruders were heavily armed with brass knuckles and a knife, intent on burglarizing the residence.
Inside, 23-year-old resident Zachary Peters heard the violent breach, retrieved his AR-15 semi-automatic rifle, and moved to confront the threat.
Following a brief verbal exchange in the hallway, Peters opened fire in self-defense, striking all three intruders before barricading himself in his bedroom to call 911.
All three suspects died from their injuries, while a 21-year-old getaway driver named Elizabeth Marie Rodriguez—who helped plan the burglary—later turned herself in to police.
Authorities fully cleared Peters of any wrongdoing, citing a textbook case of lawful self-defense under Oklahoma's Stand Your Ground and Castle Doctrine laws, proving once again that law-abiding citizens have the fundamental right to protect their homes and lives against violent invaders!
🚨 Kid Rock just gave out some hard truths about why Americans MUST get out and vote RED in November
And if you want third worlders to STOP STEALING OUR TAX DOLLARS, you better listen to him.
"If you want open borders, teachers unions indoctrinating your kids, higher taxes, huge inflation, the redistribution of wealth, and your hard earned tax dollars supporting these bums who won't take responsibility for themselves, but they keep having kid after kid after kid... Go ahead, vote for those NUT JOBS!"
"Should we help people out? Absolutely. The Bible tells us so. But compassion shouldn't mean a blank check, and working hard shouldn't make you Washington's ATM!" 🎯

You mean a terrorist Islamist who murdered 13 military including a pregnant woman who begged for her unborn child, a mother who knew she wasn’t going to survive and asked others to tell her family she loved them. Many others injured, all in the name of Islam yelling Allahu Akbar?
Get your priorities straight. WTF is wrong with you?
How can you all be sympathetic to murders and never for victims?
The left needs a mental health study.
EXCLUSIVE VIDEO: PHILADELPHIA POLICE OFFICERS RISK THEIR LIVES TO SAVE WOUNDED COLLEAGUES AS GUNFIRE ERUPTS IN WEST PHILLY
In an extraordinary display of courage, Philadelphia police officers rushed to save two critically wounded colleagues during Saturday morning’s deadly ambush in West Philadelphia.
Exclusive video obtained by Philly Crime Update captures the harrowing moments immediately following the shooting.
The footage shows responding officers carrying their wounded colleagues into patrol vehicles and rushing them to emergency medical care.
As officers worked to save their fellow officers, another volley of gunfire erupted at the scene.
Despite the danger, officers continued their efforts to get the wounded men to safety.
Tragically, Officer Shane Seiber, 40, a 10-year veteran of the Philadelphia Police Department and father of two, died from his injuries.
His 33-year-old partner, a father of five who was shot 12 times, survived and was last reported in stable condition.
These officers did not hesitate when their colleagues needed them most. Their actions deserve recognition.
Our deepest condolences remain with Officer Seiber’s family and the Philadelphia Police Department.
VIEWER DISCRETION ADVISED: This video contains intense scenes and sounds of gunfire. Images of the wounded officers have been blurred out of respect for their privacy and families.
President Trump rallied thousands of supporters in Syracuse, New York, on Friday night, urging voters to elect Republican gubernatorial candidate Bruce Blakeman and help the GOP retain control of Congress in November's midterm elections.
🚨 HOLY SMOKES. Kid Rock just WENT BERSERK on Islam, calling it a CULT
"I oppose Islamist extremists whose end goal is to impose SHARIA LAW ON THIS NATION!"
CROWD: "USA! USA!"
KID ROCK: "NO RELIGIOUS CULT OR IDEOLOGY GETS TO OVERRIDE OUR CONSTITUTION."
"Is Islam a CULT?"
"You will NEVER have the right to force any American citizen to live under it. I guarantee you that!"
🔥🔥🔥
He's damn right, WE WILL NEVER BECOME AN ISLAMIST NATION.
No Sharia Law. Shut off the 3rd world and shut off 3rd world migration
America must remain America!
