Yesterday, I passed a couple of National Guardsman chatting w/ a woman walking her dog. There's no doubt their presence in DC has helped. You may hate Trump for all sorts of reasons -- but he was right about this. Blue cities just have to put more visible cops on the streets.

It would be very funny if we won a war in Iran for less money than it took for California to *not* build high speed rail

"Non-citizen households use welfare at double U.S. born rate"

This guy would do less time if he murdered you than you would for defending yourself against him

186 members of your “representative government” voted against deporting non citizens for committing welfare fraud This goes so far beyond what motivated the founders of this country to revolt

@RezaC1 Yes, but the MEN behind it were different. There's a lesson in there...

It's a good time to remember that the Empire State Building was built in 390 days using machinery and technological processes from nearly a 100 years ago.

@MQSullivan They mistakenly assumed they were similar to the USSR and Cuba, in that you either stayed or died (or both). Score one for the 10th Amendment 🇺🇸

It's fairly rare, in real time, to see a Democrat accidentally stumble into the realization that socialism is really expensive and people can vote with their feet to escape the taxes. As it turns out, "tax the rich" is a great slogan until "the rich" move somewhere else.

@CalebNoeTV @WCPO @MiamiOH_BBall @MiamiOH_DSayler @MiamiOHSwimDive @miamiuniversity @CoachSteeleMU Seriously turned the game back in Miami's favor. Tie game to a blowout.

They’re here!!! 🏊 The Miami (OH) swim/dive team storms down the bleachers in Speedos, as SMU is about to take a free throw 🤣 Whole crowd goes crazy. The free throw misses. #MiamiOH @WCPO #MarchMadness

@Daniel_Rapaport Could've just asked @Grok. x.com/BarnShadow/sta…

Used wine-searcher to look up the wines on Rory's Champions Dinner menu (not including taxes etc) —2015 Salon “S” Brut: $1,326 —2022 Domaine Leflaive: $2,371 —1990 Chateau Lafite Rothschild: $1,273 —1989 Chateau d’Yquem: $530 Fancy, fancy, fancy

There’s a lot of black-pilling on Trump on this platform. Let me offer some perspective. - Immigration: Around 3 million illegal migrants gone. First time we’ve achieved negative net migration in over 50 years. Refugee cap is lowest since 1980. Applied $100K fee to H-1Bs. Expanded travel bans. One of biggest contractions in immigration since 1920s. - Taxes & Savings: DOGE cuts saved $175 billion+. "One Big Beautiful Bill" locked in lower individual rates, no tax on tips/overtime/SS benefits, bigger CTC—worker/family relief. - Pro-Life: Pardoned 23 pro-life activists, reinstated Mexico City Policy, cut Planned Parenthood funding. - Trans & DEI: Banned open trans military service; blocked federal funds for males in women's sports, ended DEI quotas/bias training/diversity offices/gender care funding for minors. - Corruption: pardoned Jan 6 prisoners, released Epstein files, DOJ has charged 98 defendants in Minnesota fraud-related cases. - Cost of Living: Inflation averaged 5% under Biden and 2.4% (so far) under Trump. Wages are outpacing inflation. Gas is also down under Trump compared to Biden. I know it will never be enough for some. But, I remember life under Biden and I don’t want to go back. I don’t compare Trump to what might be, but what would be during a Harris presidency. Trump has his limitations. Let’s not let the perfect become the enemy of the good. The answer is to get involved in the political process, expand these victories, and make a deeper difference. Voting for Democrats in the midterms is not a solution unless being more miserable is the goal, and listening to people who like to be miserable is never a good idea.

This is a perfect example of state run propaganda, ladies and gentlemen. Here, you have an official Press Office for the Governor of the largest state in our Union pushing a defamation campaign against an independent journalist. What terrible thing did that journalist do? Oh, he exposed hundreds of millions of dollars in welfare fraud in an all but fully Democrat run state. California is an actual fully Democrat run state, so they are absolutely terrified of independent journalists that aren’t on their side coming in and spoiling all of their fun. I mean, what if someone actually looks into all of the NGO fraud in California… like where did that $37 billion go that ole Gavin threw at homelessness since 2019 only for homelessness in his state to increase by about 24%? Seems like a lot of money for some pretty terrible results… I’m just asking questions guys. Actually, I’m not. We are watching a live and self reported coverup by Gavin Newsom’s office unfold in real time, for why else would you be against a journalist exposing fraud? The Governor’s office should have nothing to worry about from a bit of investigation, right?

Uncontrolled immigration threatens to deconstruct the nation we grew up in and convert America into a conglomeration of peoples with almost nothing in common —not history, not heroes, not language, not culture, not faith, not ancestors. Balkanization beckons. -Pat Buchanan, 2001

Words cannot describe how much I hate this man. Obama’s deal quite literally worked perfectly. Iran was a non issue. And he fucked it all up.

@PGATOUR @McIlroyRory @TheMasters @grok how much would a bottle of each of those wines cost?

Rory McIlroy explains why he made each selection for his 2026 Masters Champions Dinner menu: 𝗣𝗲𝗮𝗰𝗵 & 𝗥𝗶𝗰𝗼𝘁𝘁𝗮 𝗙𝗹𝗮𝘁𝗯𝗿𝗲𝗮𝗱 “I wanted to try to bring a little bit of the local ingredients in. So I'm doing a Georgia peach and ricotta flatbread with hot honey. So hopefully that will go down well with the drinks.” 𝗥𝗼𝗰𝗸 𝗦𝗵𝗿𝗶𝗺𝗽 𝗧𝗲𝗺𝗽𝘂𝗿𝗮 “I think everyone likes rock shrimp tempura, so sort of a crowd pleaser with that one.” 𝗕𝗮𝗰𝗼𝗻-𝗪𝗿𝗮𝗽𝗽𝗲𝗱 𝗗𝗮𝘁𝗲𝘀 “My mum does these really, really nice dates stuffed with goat cheese, wrapped in bacon … Thanks to Rosie for that one.” 𝗚𝗿𝗶𝗹𝗹𝗲𝗱 𝗘𝗹𝗸 𝗦𝗹𝗶𝗱𝗲𝗿𝘀 “In the buildup to the Masters last year, I was eating a lot of elk ... I didn't want elk to be the main course because I didn't know if everyone would like that … So I'm doing grilled elk sliders which I think is fun.” 𝗬𝗲𝗹𝗹𝗼𝘄𝗳𝗶𝗻 𝗧𝘂𝗻𝗮 𝗖𝗮𝗿𝗽𝗮𝗰𝗰𝗶𝗼 “My wife, Erica and I, our favorite restaurant, or one of our favorite right now is in New York. It's called Le Bernardin. Eric Ripert is the chef there, and this is a dish from that restaurant. It's a yellowfin tuna carpaccio. It's a really thin slice of French baguette with a really thin slight of foie gras on top of that … So that's a fun one that the club worked with me on as well. They went up to the restaurant and worked with the chefs, and made sure; that they obviously wanted to get it right for the night, so that's really cool.” 𝗪𝗮𝗴𝘆𝘂 𝗙𝗶𝗹𝗲𝘁 𝗠𝗶𝗴𝗻𝗼𝗻 𝗼𝗿 𝗦𝗲𝗮𝗿𝗲𝗱 𝗦𝗮𝗹𝗺𝗼𝗻 “It's an amazing honor to be able to host it, but at the same time, I want everyone to enjoy it. I went for two different options for the main course, a wagyu filet mignon for people that want red meat, or a fillet of seared salmon; so depending on what you want.” 𝗦𝗶𝗱𝗲𝘀 “When I was a kid, I used to eat (Irish) champ by the bowlful … Some sauteed brussels sprouts. Glazed carrots with brown butter. And then trying to bring a little bit of that local flavor back in, some crispy Vidalia onion rings. Vidalia is not too far away from Augusta, about a two, two-and-a-half-hour drive.” 𝗦𝘁𝗶𝗰𝗸𝘆 𝗧𝗼𝗳𝗳𝗲𝗲 𝗣𝘂𝗱𝗱𝗶𝗻𝗴 “I think very much a crowd-pleaser, sticky toffee pudding with vanilla ice cream on warm toffee sauce.” 𝗪𝗶𝗻𝗲𝘀 "My favorite part of the menu is you obviously get access to the wonderful wine cellar at Augusta National. We're starting off with a 2015 Salon Brut champagne. And then followed by a 2022. Domaine Leflaive Batard Montrachet. It's the first-ever white wine that I actually liked ... And then for the red wine we're receiving a 1990 Chateau Lafite Rothschild from Pauillac in Bordeaux. That is the wine that I drank the night that I won the Masters, so obviously brings back some great memories. Shane Lowry had a little bit to do with getting that wine, so I want to shout him out for that, too ... To finish off, we're going with a 1989 Chateau D'Yquem dessert wine from Sauternes in Bordeaux, as well. Obviously '89, my birth year, and I think every great meal deserved to be finished off with Chateau D'Yquem. It is like liquid gold. I wanted to be really intentional with the wines. It's something that I'm really into and passionate about and started to collect wine, probably over the past decade."

The conquest of the New World should be remembered as one of the great tales of civilization triumphing over utter barbarity of the worst sort, and extirpating a great evil by banishing it to the outer bounds of hell with the Cross and sword

@ClayTravis Feels like Trump should just change the name from @WashWizards to Washington Guardsmen...

Washington, DC homicides are down 62% so far this year compared to last year at the same time. Remember when the media told us Trump’s surge of police support in DC would have no impact? DC is on pace to shatter the all time low for murders in the city.

"If we remain quiet and idle, if we allow ourselves to give way to apathy and timidity; if we leave open the way to those who are attempting to destroy religion, or if we expect the benevolence of our enemies to secure the triumph of our ideals, we shall have no right to lament when bitter reality shows us that we had victory in our hands yet knew not how to fight like intrepid warriors prepared to succumb gloriously." - Cardinal Segura of Toledo
