Virginia Gov. Abigail Spanberger sent media a press release titled, "Governor Spanberger Signs Bills Into Law Welcoming 3,250 New Jobs, $7.1 Billion in Business Investment to Virginia." Each company listed in the press release announced their investment in Virginia when Glenn Youngkin was governor.

🚨WATCH: In a jaw-dropping video that's exploding across social media, U.S. Secretary of State Marco Rubio gives an explanation of why the United States needed to strike the Islamic Republic of Iran. It's barely two minutes long, and it's absolutely unmissable!

It’s amazing how many people on this platform have clearly never watched a real negotiation with a terrorist regime or any terrorist entity for that matter. This isn’t sunshine and rainbows. It’s pressure, consequences, and making it unmistakably clear that if the Iranian regime won’t change their ways, they highly risk being ended. Let’s get something straight, because this keeps getting butchered, the civilization he is talking about ending is the Islamist regime, the assholes that took over 47 years ago and literally ruined the original Persian civilization in Iran that no one in the west seems to ever show empathy for. That distinction shouldn’t be this hard. And no, they shouldn’t be forced to be subservient to terrorists for another 50 years because you with 50,000 followers on some social media echo chamber said so. While some rush to defend a failed terrorist state, that same regime has been hanging teenagers this whole past week. I’ve seen zero concern over that, they’ve also been sending 12 year olds to be cannon fodder. Spare me the outrage. And to those immediately spiraling into “this means nuclear war,” please chill and relax a little. All this literally is ending a future nuclear threat. Not every hard-line equals global catastrophe. That’s not how this works. You’ve grown so used to watching terrorist pandering that you don’t even recognize what resolve looks like. The regime are paper tigers let them fold or make a choice that will lead to their ultimate demise. As Winston Churchill put it, “We shall show mercy, but we shall not ask for it.”

Stephen Colbert in 2022: I'll happily pay $15 a gallon for gas because I drive a Tesla and don't care! Colbert in 2026: Oil prices are out of control! This is outrageous! Donald Trump is a moron! That’s the definition of a hypocrite.

Watching a liberal slowly wake up.

I wish those protesting for Iran would stop listening to the propaganda and open their eyes.

The security forces in Iran threw acid on Marziyeh for not covering her hijab “properly”. And this one? The grandniece of Qasem Soleimani the slain IRGC commander, in a luxury life in America, without hijab. Yes for us ordinary women in Iran: show our hair, lose our face, beaten by morality police, arrested, blacklisted, and even get killed like Mahsa, Jina Amini. Outside Iran: be connected to the regime, enjoy your freedom.

France banned mail-in voting in 1975 - DUE TO FRAUD. Mexico banned mail-in voting in 1992 - DUE TO FRAUD. Belgium banned mail-in voting in 2018 - DUE TO FRAUD. Sweden, Italy, Japan, Russia, Latin American countries and the Middle East DO NOT ALLOW MAIL-IN VOTING. Democrats would have you believe that the 2020 election that had a staggering amount of mail-in voting was the "most secure election in American history." Get. Fucked. You cheating bastards.

I want to apologize for not responding to any of the 22 thousand comments my last post inspired. I’ve been filming all week and just noticed my observations about Jimmy Kimmel and a former plumber named Markwayne Mullin have gone viral. I've also noticed that many of the comments are from people who genuinely seem to believe that Jimmy wasn’t belittling plumbers at all, but was instead, simply trying to point out that Mullin is not qualified to lead the DHS. Here's a small smattering... Roger Bicknell... Mikey stop. Kimmel wasn't making fun of plumbers he was making fun of Mullin. Rebecca Piatt Gonzalez... Dearest Mike, it's not anything to do with his being a plumber. It's him NOT being skilled in Homeland Security. Patrick Wise... Being a plumber qualifies you to be a plumber. Period. The issue Jimmy and the rest of us at the adult table recognize is that jobs require certain training and experience and being a plumber does not qualify you to be Sec of DHS. Had Roger, Rebecca, Patrick and all the others who rushed to Jimmy’s Kimmel’s defense actually read what I had written, they would see that I did not suggest - even remotely - that a plumber was inherently qualified to hold a cabinet position. What I said was that being a plumber should not disqualify a person from holding such a position. Big difference. Doctors, lawyers, veterinarians, fireman, and university professors are no more or less qualified to run the DHS than plumbers, electricians, or carpenters – but should they all be dismissed as “unqualified” simply because they made a living in some other vocation? As I wrote in my original post, credentials and diplomas are great ways to bolster a person’s credibility, especially if we’re talking about mastering a specific skill. I think we can all agree that plumbers, accountants, mechanics, and surgeons should all have to prove themselves competent before hanging out a shingle. But what do their credentials and diplomas have to do with their actual competency? Are we not already surrounded by a legion of perfectly qualified experts who don't know what the hell they're doing? Moreover, what do credentials and experience have to do with wisdom, honesty, common sense, integrity, courage, the ability to lead, or any other virtue we’d like to have in our elected officials? There are plenty of legitimate reasons to question Mullin’s suitability for this role. But there’s no legitimate reason to disqualify him simply because he used to be a plumber. Just as there was no legitimate reason to dismiss AOC because she used to tend bar. As for the joke itself, here’s an honest question. If Senator Mullin was a retired doctor instead of a retired plumber, do you believe he would have would made the same joke? Roger, Rebecca, Patrick...be honest. Do you really think Jimmy would have said to his audience, "So, now we have a DOCTOR in charge of protecting us from terrorism? Hey – it worked for Dr. Suess – maybe it’ll work for Markwayne!" Personally, I don't. Not in a million years. Why? Because no one would have found it funny, that’s why. Even though doctors are no more “qualified” to protect us from terrorists than plumbers are, Jimmy knows that doctors are widely respected in society, and that plumbers are not. He knows that medical degrees and doctorates are aspirational credentials, whereas plumbing certificates are not. The entire premise of his joke was based on a personal bias that he knew his audience shared – a bias that presupposes plumbers are uneducated, one-dimensional workers who never made it to college, and are therefore "unqualified" to do anything but plumb. Jimmy is entitled to his opinion, along with anyone else who believes that Mullin is unqualified to lead the DHS. The Constitution, however, says otherwise, and so does the Senate. Likewise, reasonable people can disagree as to what is funny and what isn’t. Frankly, I couldn’t care less. What I do care about, is the extraordinary shortage of plumbers and electricians our country is facing, and the longstanding stigmas and stereotypes that continue to discourage people from considering a lucrative career in the skilled trades. Jimmy’s joke – and his audience’s reaction to it – is proof positive that those stigmas and stereotypes are alive and well. PS. We have a lot of money set aside to help train the next generation of plumbers. Apply for a scholarship at mikeroweworks.org Who knows? Could be the first step on your road to President..

Awesome news! #2a

Russell Brand, A British guy, just explained the Second Amendment better than most Americans ever do. Let that sink in. Russell Brand — a guy from the UK, not a gun guy, not NRA, not some lifelong 2A activist — looked at America’s armed citizen culture and immediately understood something a lot of people here still pretend not to get: Being armed changes the relationship between the people and power. That’s the part anti-gun people never want to talk about. Not just the gun itself. The fact that you are not helpless. And when somebody who came from a country with heavy gun control says that out loud, it hits different. Because now this isn’t “paranoid gun owner” talk. Now it’s somebody from the other side of it saying: Yeah… I see what this is really for now. So I want to ask y’all: Why do you think so many Americans still don’t understand the Second Amendment the way Russell Brand just did? Is it because they’ve been lied to? Because they’ve gotten too comfortable? Or because deep down, they trust government more than they trust themselves? Comment: LIED TO COMFORTABLE or TRUST GOVERNMENT And be honest — Did Russell Brand explain the real purpose of the Second Amendment better than most Americans do? youtu.be/m-Srzdge_AY

Bernie Sanders in 2015: "Open borders? … That's a right-wing proposal which says essentially there is no US. It would make everybody in America poorer… What rightwing people in this country would love is an open-border policy… I don't believe in that."

@ArtCandee America!!!🇺🇸

Pete Hegseth has lifted the suspension of the Army helicopter pilots who flew by Kid Rock’s house. “No punishment. No investigation.” This guy is a fucking disgrace for wasting our money.

@NBCNews 🐂 💩

ICE agents will be stationed outside graduation events for the nation’s newest Marines to identify whether any of their family members are undocumented, according to the Marine Corps. nbcnews.com/politics/natio…

The democrats keep saying they sent a clean bill. It wasn’t!!

Why didn’t the House vote on the Senate DHS bill? Because we read it. It defunds over 25% of DHS and undermines efforts to combat child exploitation and drug trafficking. Congress must FULLY FUND DHS to keep our borders secure and our homeland safe.

THEY RAPED CORPSES!!!

@DisinfoIsBad You can’t use people’s livelihood as hostage for policy change Dems try to break apart ICE then also demand no masks, etc They are not the party of the people

You literally did that, dude. You blocked a bill that passed the Senate 100-0. All because you are too scared that Donald Trump will say mean words about you.

It took the UN 2.5 years to confirm what we all knew from day one. Palestinian militants raped, gang raped and sexually mutilated Israeli women and men on October 7th. Shame on them for gaslighting us for so long.
