There is literally no excuse for John Fetterman. He has betrayed every single person who's voted for him. Seriously, Fetterman, resign or switch parties.

'NO APOLOGY': Senators Rand Paul and Markwayne Mullin get into a heated exchange at Mullin's confirmation hearing to become the next Secretary of Homeland Security. Rand Paul calls out Mullin for his past comments on the attack that left the Kentucky senator hospitalized, to which Mullin says he 'understood' why Paul was attacked, though clarifying he does not support the violence. PAUL: "You offer no apology today and no regrets. Haven't heard the word apologize. Haven't heard the word regret. Haven't heard 'I misspoke.'" MULLIN: "I'm not apologizing for pointing out your character."

My father is 90 years old today. He lived in China for 59 years, surviving The Great Chinese Famine & Mao's Cultural Revolution. He became an orphan at 5 and was adopted by his peasant uncle. He worked on a farm to feed himself & never went to school. He was recruited as a young laborer by a State factory in Chengdu, where he met my mother. He was never promoted because he was illiterate & he fought constantly with his CCP boss for his dignity. He worked hard to feed 3 children with little help from my mom who was ill most of her life. His life was full of struggles, tragedies and stress in Communist China, but he never lost his honor or spirit. He came to the U.S. in 1995, became an American citizen, found God and Jesus Christ. His Christian faith has given him comfort and strength since my mother's passing in 2020. His life today is full of joy, peace, love and gratitude for America. I am truly blessed to still have my father in my life. We will be celebrating his birthday this Sunday on the beach! HAPPY BIRTHDAY DAD! (Photo on the left is dad in his 50s from China.

74% of abducted children who are killed die within the first 3 hours. 44% within the first hour. I have a 4-year-old. When I found that FBI stat, I stopped what I was doing and started teaching him four things that afternoon. 1. Phone number. Memorized, not stored in a device. A kid who can recite a parent’s number to any adult with a phone becomes findable in seconds. 2. Code word. Any adult who says “your mom sent me” gets tested. If they don’t know the word, he runs. A 4-year-old can learn this in one conversation. 3. Stop, stay, yell. This one overrides the freeze response. FBI data shows 80% of initial contact between an abductor and a victim happens within a quarter mile of the child’s home. The quiet, compliant kid is what predators count on. A kid trained to scream on reflex changes the math. Every decibel is a witness. 4. Find a mom with kids. A small child can’t judge whether a stranger is safe. But a woman already watching her own children in public is the closest thing to a guaranteed safe adult. She’s the person most likely to act in seconds. 460,000 children are reported missing in the U.S. every year. One every 69 seconds. Recovery rate is above 97%. What separates the 97% from the 3% is almost always what happened in the first few minutes. In nearly 60% of abduction homicide cases, more than two hours passed between when someone realized the child was missing and when police were called. The reporting delay alone eats most of the survival window. Every one of these five skills attacks that gap. Four rules a 4-year-old can memorize. Each one turns hours of panic into seconds of correct action.
