Congress was meant to be CITIZEN LEGISLATURES, not career politicians w/ a knack for fundraising.

It was meant to be a temporary duty, only paid per diem when in session.

High turn-over was preferred to minimize corruption.

Pay Congress Per Diem Again!

Every day at 7PM, taps is played over the loudspeakers at Dallas National Cemetery, just beyond the outfield wall at DBU

During every gameday at 7, they pause to honor the fallen troops buried just beyond the wall

One of the best traditions in sports

🚨WHOA! Anna Paulina Luna is one of the few members of Congress not afraid to call her own side out!👇

"I was wondering if the Speaker of the House could explain why leadership on BOTH SIDES are cutting BACK END deals to cover up public corruption!"

WE ALL WOULD LOVE TO KNOW!

If you’re one of the crooks in Minnesota who took a giant Great Dane whiz down the leg of every taxpayer, you ought to be in JAIL.

Trump should preemptively pardon every American citizen who’s lived here more than 10 years for NOT paying federal taxes in 2026… Force congress to balance THAT BUDGET

If you believe in the power of prayer, please take a moment and watch this.

This man's nephew Caden is 10 years old and he is in the hospital in Houston Texas battling Leukemia.

Caden is having a really hard time lately with the Chemotherapy.

Please take a moment and say a prayer for Caden and his family and pass this on so others can say a prayer too.

Mark Robinson proposes a law ensuring that during government shutdowns, soldiers, federal police, and air traffic controllers get paid, but politicians do not. They should lead by example, cutting their own pay first and forfeiting backpay if unresolved quickly. He urges sharing this idea to prevent future shutdowns.

NEW: 80-year-old Natalie Grabow of Mountain Lakes, New Jersey, becomes the oldest woman to finish the Ironman World Championship.

The American was the first female in the 80-84 category to complete the race. The race took place in Kailua-Kona, Hawaii.

Grabow finished in 16 hours, 45 minutes, and 26 seconds.

The race included a 2.4-mile swim, a 112-mile bike race, and a 26.2-mile run, for a total of 140.6 miles.

Impressive and inspiring.

California Logic Be Like…

Prop 36: We voted for it, but Gavin said $250M was too expensive.

Special Election: Gavin says we have the $250M to pay for it.

Awww, isn’t he the best Governor…
