🚨 BREAKING: Kid Rock speaks out about the Meltdown over military helicopters flying by his home.
@KidRock: "Well, I was sitting there having a Saturday morning beer, and I see choppers coming."
"I was at Fort Campbell, and I spoke to some of the pilots, and I told them they are WELCOME to fly by my home anytime!"
"At the end of the day, if it makes their day a little brighter, for serving our country."
"I thought it was harmless!"
@ThePatriotOasis@KidRock Some people are saying it's harmless. Well tell that to the families of the 2 Blackhawk crews and a Apache pilot that were killed while on routine training missions in KY within the last 3 yrs. Or the blackhawk midair collision in DC that killed 67 people last yr.
@unlimited_ls WTF is 18-60 years? So he'll be out in 9 years regardless and you make it look like you did something with your stupid "-60" years? Wow, way to go off 👏

CITIZENSHIP CHALLENGE: As the Supreme Court prepares to review President Trump’s executive order on birthright citizenship, a recent Fox News Poll finds that 69% of voters support birthright citizenship for children born in the United States to illegal immigrants - that’s up from 45% when Fox News first asked the question in 2006.
Do you think that children born in the United States to illegal immigrants should be granted birthright citizenship?
🚨 BREAKING: President Trump is now going ALL-OUT on the cartels in Ecuador after their new right-wing President Daniel Noboa gave the US Pentagon a greenlight

While it may feel old hat to say "Get woke, go broke", the consequences of decisions companies made under the Biden admin assuming a Kamala presidency and permanent Obamaism are still playing out. The corporate world moves slowly and the chickens are still coming home to roost.
@normanbuntzhsb@MarioNawfal Yeah, him lunging at the unarmed dude first and also slapping him as he lay on the ground after being shot is gonna play out real well for his ass in court.
NO, that’s not “the whole story.” Even the clip confirms there is more to this situation.
Of course the hype about an employee just wanting to leave early without permission is the HYPE that draws a viewer/reader into the story, but the full story about he friend or family member attempting to assault the shooter is a significant factor left out of the headline. A person brandishes their weapon and is likely warning a physically threatening person not to do something violent, but the person still attempts to physically assault the man with the gun and so the gunman shoots his assailant!
This story no longer has ANYTHING TO DO with the employee. It has to do with an armed person possibly defending himself from a physically violent offender trying to assault him. I believe this is going to end up be a self defense case that ends with the Manager only possibly facing a gun charge IF the weapon was not registered. He was openly carrying the gun so there is no concealed weapon charge here. The victim knew he was assaulting a man with a gun in his hand.
🚨🇺🇸 A Wendy's manager shot and killed a man in the parking lot because an employee reportedly wanted to leave early.
That's the whole story.
Someone is dead over a shift change at a fast food restaurant.
The world has lost its mind...

Is Portland actually making a comeback? A recent New York Times article highlighting the Rose City's quirky nature and path toward a new chapter has sparked discussion around its ongoing challenges, and and if there's a problem with optics. katu.com/news/local/nyt…
The fact you still think it's personal makes me think you didn't do your research, the leaders in federal agencies shouldn't be supportive of violence against political opponents and shouldn't glorify violence. That's how we got to the point where someone tried to shoot Trump. Because we keep letting it slip through instead of holding people accountable and calling them out when it comes to glorified violence on fellow Americans.
🚨 IT'S OFFICIAL: Markwayne Mullin has just been CONFIRMED as President Trump's DHS Secretary in a 54-45 vote
The Democrats who crossed over:
- John Fetterman (PA)
- Martin Heinrich (NM)
RAND PAUL (R-KY) voted against
The chamber ERUPTED in applause!
@STFUnion@EricLDaugh I know the research; didn't need you to tell me. This makes randy even worse since he decided to try and weaken the administration over a personal tiff. He's a jaded HS girl who is still crying over getting his ass kicked by his neighbor.
@EricLDaugh If anyone is criticizing Paul for voting No, needs to do some research on why he voted no. Rand voted no due to personal problems with Mullin about Mullins temperament, not about any disagreement with policy.
