My most recent article:
I don’t know if we can have a heaven on earth, but I know we need not have hell on earth… Our foolish leaders spend their days telling us who to fear, blame, despise, & destroy. They’re promoting a fantasy that has never worked.

🚨 Jan. 6 rioter Andrew Taake has pled guilty to soliciting a minor.
He previously received a full pardon from Trump, even though he was caught on camera attacking Capitol police.
“A family from Mexico arrives this morning legally has as much right to the American Dream as the direct descents of the Founding Fathers.”
Bob Dole accepting the Republican nomination for President in 1996.
The picture on the left is from 2012 when the filter was broken.
The picture on the right is AI generated.
That's the issue in this Presidency, everything is based on lies, even the most trivial of things.
This is so insanely corrupt, I can’t even believe it.
More than half the donors to Trump’s $400 million White House ballroom just won over $50 billion in new federal contracts in six months.
And here’s the part that should make your blood boil.
Sixteen of these 27 donors were facing federal enforcement actions, antitrust reviews, labor cases, securities charges. Many of those cases have been quietly dropped or scaled back since Trump took office. You write a check, your legal problems disappear. That’s not a coincidence.
The White House won’t even release the full donor list. They’re hiding it on purpose, because daylight is the one thing pay-to-play can’t survive. A federal judge already ruled ballroom construction has to stop until Congress authorizes it.
Government is supposed to serve the people, not auction itself off to the highest bidder. When access goes to whoever pays the most, working families always end up paying the price.
We either end the corruption, or the corruption will end us.

Trump: "When 97% of the stories are bad about a person, that's no longer free speech."
Fact-check: False. In the United States, the press owes no duty of loyalty to POTUS. @atrupar
Recent retiree Greg Bovino traveled to Portugal to attend a Nazi conference, gave an interview citing Nazi general Erwin Rommel as an inspirational figure, and wore his regulation SS haircut.
When is it ok to start calling them Nazis? Or is that still too polarizing?
I’m glad the president did well on the MOCA exam, but it’s a dementia screening tool, not an IQ test, so a score of 26 or higher represents normal cognitive performance, not extreme intelligence. None of the questions are high difficulty.
It's been a long week, but after much prayer, I've decided to endorse Ken Paxton from the pulpit this Sunday. Is he a criminal, a liar and a cheat? Yes, but he has found Jesus. Meanwhile, Talarico is a bit too fond of vegetables for my liking🙏🇺🇸
