The Left wants the White House to feel like an untouchable institution reserved for political elites. They hate seeing it used for events that remind Americans it belongs to them.
Turning the White House into a place of celebration, culture, and public engagement, especially as we approach America’s 250th, strips away the myth that government is something distant and above the American people.
No surprise the Democrats despised last night’s UFC event, but what truly frustrates them is what it represents: a White House that feels like the people’s house again.
@BasedMikeLee@WittyKitty1776 I am sorry Mike I love you but you are not a Christian. The Jesus you follow is a created being, that is not the same Jesus that walked this earth and died for our sins.
@BasedMikeLee Yes and Antifa are not filled with fascists because there name is literally anti-fascist and North Korea is not a totalitarian state because they call themselves The Democratic Republic of North Korea!
A few of you have sent me this & asked me to weigh in… it seems @sarahainesr of @TheView has decided to strike again, calling my response to their unprovoked attack on me and my family “willful” and “ignorant.”
I genuinely harbor no ill will toward any of these women - I’ve never even met any of them!! - but do remain utterly stumped at their lack of social awareness for why people across the cultural and political spectrum didn’t react well to their insane attack on the family & motherhood specifically.
Sara - as you know, the View is refusing to host an honest conversation between us after your producers wrote a segment for the hosts to grossly target, as you point out here, someone 20 years your junior. Disappointing, really, for a show that’s supposed to be about multiple “View”points.
That said, I’ve already extended the invitation to one other woman sitting around that table this week to come on The Isabel Brown Show for an honest conversation about the beauty of motherhood and where culture needs to be having this deeply important dialogue. The invitation now extends to you — from a place of “genuine empathy,” would love to host the conversation that @ABC refuses to.
God Bless You, and happy Easter.
Tom,
You’re a sitting US Representative, please try to preserve a sliver of dignity. There is an ongoing criminal trial in this case and the individual in this case is a US citizen entitled to due process. Your relentless bloviating and absurd public commentary on an ongoing, very serious, criminal matter, which you know little to nothing about (by choice), is beneath the office you hold. It’s bizarre that you continue to claim to be a supporter of liberty and the Constitution, while acting like a Soviet era communist.
I don’t think people understand how real this job is. Yesterday, a panicked citizen told me a young man was walking around with a gun in his waistband. As he was telling me this, he pointed and yelled, “He’s right there!” The person was walking up the street towards me with his hand on a gun in his waistband, just like the man said. With all the people around, I couldn’t wait. I had to stop him before he got to a corner with a large crowd. I exited my vehicle and confronted him. He reached for the gun again, and I was about to do something I pray I never have to do. He knew me and immediately dropped to the ground. When backup arrived, we cuffed him and removed a toy gun with an orange tip. I scolded the young man. I remembered trying to help this young man get shelter and buying him a pair of shoes a few years ago. I could have shot this man, who looked like one of my sons, over a toy.
I haven’t been able to sleep all night, thinking about how close I came. Would I have been justified? Absolutely. It looked like a real gun. But what would the papers say in the morning? How would the anti-cop crowd spin it? “Cop who claimed he cares for the homeless shoots unarmed homeless Black man with a toy.” Though his race was never a factor other than how he was described by the witness. No one would have known how many times I tried to help this young brother. How many would believe this biased headline and call me trigger-happy when I haven’t shot anyone in 30 years? How many friends would I lose? How woke would the narrative be among people about how I hate myself and my people, leading me to murder with impunity.
Folks, the decisions we have to make in a split second aren’t easy. But they are NOT rooted in racism or brutality. It’s what we are up against in the moment.
I thank God he complied. That would have been tough to live with.
This would have been another case Of a broken system failing him, and me, then all cops being made the scapegoat for it.
It's been a year since I left The Daily Wire. A lot has changed in the country and in the conservative movement in that short amount of time.
But America isn't over, and the politics of anger and despair do not have to win.
The future belongs to those who build it.
Time to get back to work.
Hello Brad Duplessis,
You pre-emptively blocked me here on 𝕏, so I am forced to make this "Hello" a standalone post.
You are a retired Army infantry officer. You served in Iraq and Afghanistan. You graduated from the National War College in 2018. You are now an Assistant Professor at the U.S. Army Command and General Staff College, Fort Belvoir, Virginia.
Thank you for your service.
But reputations are not defined by resumes. They are defined by choices.
Today, you chose to doxx @CynicalPublius.
Today, you published your debut article on War on the Rocks. You published his legal name. His profession. His pseudonym. All in one sentence. Indexed, archived, permanently searchable.
You have changed the course of his life forever, and revealed him to the leftist ghouls who will demand his blood for forever. It doesn't matter if he was planning to reveal his identity eventually. You still made that choice. And I will make sure you are remembered for this.
So, what was CP's sin such that you saw it fit to throw him to the wolves?
Last month, he dared to write an article for American Greatness, centered around nine recommendations for War College reform. The recommendations included firing most civilian faculty and ending permanent military faculty positions.
You hold a permanent civilian faculty position at a War College. You did not mention this in your article.
In short, you named him, exposed his life to danger, because you really are arguing for your job and self-preservation.
Know what is the most disgusting, hypocritical part of this is?
In the Fall 2017 issue of eARMOR (the U.S. Army Armor Branch professional journal) you published an article. You titled it "Our Readiness Problem: Brigade Combat Team Lethality." You opened with General Milley: "Our fundamental task is like no other — it is to win in the unforgiving crucible of ground combat." Your thesis: "If we are to get after GEN Milley's No. 1 priority, we must first address brigade combat team (BCT) lethality." The word "lethality" appears in your article about fifty times. You meant it as a compliment.
Now contrast to today's piece. You wrote this: "In staking out this Huntingtonian position, the cult of lethality does a disservice to service members and the American people."
The same word. Nine years apart. You were a field commander then, and lethality was the mission. You are a faculty member now, and lethality is what your critics embarrassingly worship.
Frankly - and you will never realize this - but you yourself are the living, walking example of the thesis which @PeteHegseth is proving.
Also, you named a section of today's article after Colin Powell. You called him your model of what War College education produces. Colin Powell endorsed Barack Obama in 2008, endorsed Joe Biden in 2020, and publicly called Donald Trump "dangerous for our democracy." Powell, who infamously tipped the scales at the UN to start the Iraq war even after privately doubting the WMD intelligence, is your hero in an article about who gets to reform the military in 2026.
In addition to being a doxxer, you look a lot less like someone who's defending institutions, and a lot more like someone who exemplifies institutional capture in the name of self-preservation. And you disclosed none of it.
Let me reiterate.
@CynicalPublius wrote under a pseudonym and identified himself as a retired Army colonel with Afghanistan and Iraq experience. He argued about curriculum policy. You responded by putting his name on the internet.
Your career depends on the institutions you are defending. Your article defending those institutions is the same article that ended his anonymity.
You taught your students about the instruments of national power, Professor Duplessis. You are now a living, breathing demonstration one of them. And why reform must happen.
