She speaks truth

Riddle me this, @RoKhanna. If closing USAID could cause so many child deaths in Africa, why would the African Union's top diplomat in DC celebrate USAID's shutdown? Does she like dead babies? Is she ignorant? How else do you explain her arriving at the same conclusion as DOGE?

Indiana music teacher John Kluge was forced out of his job in 2018 for refusing to use preferred pronouns because of his Christian faith. He offered to call all students by their last names as a compromise. The school said no and pushed him out. In March 2026 the school district handed him $650,000 and agreed to train its staff on religious liberty.

Eight years of fighting and he finally won 👏

The fact that people who weren’t born here are able to be in powerful leadership positions in this country is absolutely insane to me.

Country singer Carrie Underwood shows off a patriotic display of American flags near her property in Tennessee ahead of the nation’s 250th birthday. 🇺🇸

"I can’t believe I get to live here. Thank you, Lord," Underwood wrote on Instagram.

Somebody said that World Cup is just the US having a giant sleepover with the cousins we never see because our parents hate each other. 😂

[Matt Van Swol @mattvanswol]

Don’t EVER forget that FEMA kicked ENTIRE FAMILIES out of their hotels and into the ice and snow in Western North Carolina…

…while giving $59,000,000 to let illegal immigrants live in luxury hotels in New York City

AND THEN THEY LIED ABOUT IT FOR MONTHS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Yea GFY @seattletimes

[Jimmy’s Famous Seafood @JimmysSeafood]

@seattletimes The USMNT is captivating the country & igniting a wave of patriotism during America’s 250th birthday celebration.

Meanwhile, the Seattle Times is busy reminding everyone why legacy media continues to lose relevance.

GFY 🇺🇸⚽🇺🇸

I’m fighting for a western civilization where none of them had to die.
We’re not fighting red vs. blue.
We’re fighting good vs. evil.
Darkness vs. light.
We must win.

"The enemy smelled our blood and thought we were prey. They forgot that a wounded animal is the most lethal. We tore that jungle apart to stay alive."

Major James Capers Jr stands as one of the greatest Recon Marines to ever do it. He enlisted in the Corps and fought his way into Force Recon where he became the leader of Team Broadminded. He completed more than 60 long range patrols and five major campaigns in Vietnam.

In 1967 near Phu Loc he was wounded 19 times while fighting a numerically superior enemy force. With broken legs, shrapnel across his body he refused evacuation until every Marine on his 9 man team was lifted out. His Silver Star citation states he continued to coordinate fire and movement under direct and indirect fire while suffering extreme blood loss.

That Silver Star, originally downgraded after his commander was kill*d and the Medal of Honor paperwork lost, is now being formally upgraded to the Medal of Honor. Capers was not only a mustang, he earned a battlefield commission in combat, a rare honor that speaks to the trust his Marines placed in him.

At eighty eight he remains a giant, a warrior who carried his team through hell and set the standard every Recon Marine still measures himself against.

[QUANTUM GUARD ™️ @QuantumGuard17]

🚨 WOW! JD Vance just said LOUD AND CLEAR that we are NO LONGER pretending that "America First" includes ANY other country

"[A Ukrainian-American] was sticking his finger in my face saying 'you need to support my country!'"

"I said, 'sir, with all due respect, if you're an American, your country is the United States of America—NOT a place that you immigrated from.'"

"Whether your family's been here for 300 years or one second, to be an American means to look out for Americans FIRST — and that's the perspective we have to take to our immigration policy."

[Tommy2 @t0xmmy2]

Something good is happening at this World Cup.

The Scots turned up. The English turned up. The Norwegians turned up. They sang their songs, got stuck in, and the Americans loved them for it. Glasgow and Boston are getting twinned off the back of it.

For 30 years we’ve been told to view the US as some sort of Great Satan — all imperialism and orange-man clichés. Not everyone buys it of course, but enough do.

And then Europeans actually go, and find a place that feels familiar. Makes sense to them. A bit richer, a bit further ahead, but recognisably ours. Settled by Europeans, still deeply European in its bones.

There’s a gathering-of-the-clans feeling to it. Old neighbours discovering they still like the same songs, the same drink, the same daft humour, and genuinely enjoying each other’s company.

None of it’s a surprise, really. It’s just been buried under so much politics that we forgot we were allowed to enjoy it.

Good to be reminded.

[Mountain Cabins @cabinsmountain]

Normalize buying land with your siblings and closest friends and building a place where your families can grow together.

Modern isolation isn't how people were meant to live. A few generations ago, extended families often lived just down the road from one another. Meals were shared, support was always nearby, and childcare wasn't a constant concern.

Bring back the village.

Like so many others doing the same

[Rob Schmitt @SchmittNYC]

Daily Mail reports Gavin’s wife paying herself 1/3 of the revenue her bullshit charity brought in. Fake virtue signaling, pretending to care while getting rich. This is all over California. No surprise, the Newsom’s are terrible people.

[Mark Hemingway @Heminator]

Really admirable that Cuban is channeling his political angst by drilling down on specific health care issues using his business knowledge to try and make things better. What he's doing is illuminating.

[Bill Mitchell @mitchellvii]

Does Trump look tired? Of course, the man works 20 hours a day making the world a safer place.

I can't imagine the stress he is under.

At 80 years old he is giving us every once of his soul to make us secure and prosperous.

[Wall Street Mav @WallStreetMav]

When Jimmy Carter purchased the teachers’ union’s endorsement in 1979 by establishing the Department of Education, the USA was #1 in education.

46 years and $4.1 trillion dollars later, the USA is #40. We are, however, #1 in cost per student.

THIS IS THE MOST EPIC VIDEO YOU’LL SEE TODAY.
A U.S. Army paratrooper flying the massive American flag like a damn cape right over the Lincoln Memorial and National Mall at sunset. Old Glory dominating the D.C. skyline.
Freedom isn’t just words — it’s this level of badass.
This is America.
🔥 Drop a 🇺🇸 if you’re proud. Repost to wake people up.

Elon Musk created thousands of millionaires in his career.

Elizabeth Warren created 1, herself.

Keep that in mind.

Elon Musk is not stealing from you.

Gavin Newsom is stealing from you.
Karen Bass is stealing from you.
Tim Walz is stealing from you.
Elizabeth Warren is stealing from you.
AOC is stealing from you.

Becoming wealthy does not make you evil.

The people who take from you, promising to fix problems and then enriching themselves while trying to get you to hate those they're taking the money from... are evil.
