Hello Senator Thune,
Let's expose what you're really doing with "reconciliation."
You announced it yesterday, eleven months after the House passed the SAVE America Act. You're not trying to pass this bill. You're trying to kill it in a way you can blame on process.
Here's how we know:
Reconciliation requires the Senate parliamentarian to rule that provisions are "budgetary." Citizenship verification is not budgetary. Photo ID mandates are not budgetary. The parliamentarian will gut the bill. Then you'll shrug and say "we tried." We see through you.
Meanwhile, you WON'T use the tools that actually work:
Rule XIX limits each senator to two speeches per legislative day. Keep the Senate in continuous session, file cloture daily, and the filibuster exhausts in ~12-20 days. You dismissed it as "complicated." Because if you tried and succeeded, you'd have to actually pass the bill.
Harry Reid nuked the filibuster in 2013 when he wanted results.
Mitch McConnell changed Senate rules THREE times and canceled the August recess.
Chuck Schumer used reconciliation within months on a 50-50 Senate.
You have 53 seats. You've changed nothing, canceled nothing, and waited eleven months.
Now let's talk donors:
• Goldman Sachs: $150K to you - top H-1B user
• Google: $75K - lobbies against E-Verify
• Meta: $72.5K - Zuckerberg's FWD[.]us pushes mass immigration
• Wells Fargo: $90K - banks undocumented immigrants
Same corporations sponsor Punchbowl News, where you sit for "Fly Out Days" which nobody watches except Congress staffers and K Street lobbyists who pays premium bucks for legislative intelligence. Their reporter then telegraphs to the audience the SAVE Act "will ultimately fail."
Corporate money flows to you AND to the outlet that frames your inaction as inevitable.
We see the loop.
You called grassroots anger a "paid influencer ecosystem." YOU are the paid influencer. You take the wrong side of a 80% issue because you are indistinguishable from a K Street mouthpiece, and an ineffective one to boot who won't bend the rules to get anything passed.
What we want:
1. Force a real talking filibuster.
2. Stop hiding behind process.
3. Pass the SAVE America Act.
YOU will become the reason that we will have our butts kicked in midterms. Not Candace Owens, not Nick Fuentes, not anyone else. You and you alone, and all because you want to make the 200 or so viewers of Punchbowl Fly Out Days happy. You're living in a K Street information bubble, addicted to the comforts and praises of lobbyists masquerading as journalists. You mistake the steak and martini dinners you get invited to as your own constituents.
You are not "moderate." The SAVE America Act has 98% support among Republicans. Name one other thing that has 98% support. You are an extreme minority who prides himself on being a calm leader, when in reality you are well in the running for the most ineffective Majority leader of all time.
Prove me wrong. Do the bare modicum of effort. Not symbolic. Actual effort. Cancel the recess. Get SAVE America Act passed.
@BuzzPatterson In addition, his constant name-dropping saying that he’s friends with, has known a long time, etc. ok. We get it. You think you’re friends with Trump, for example. Ok. We heard 568 times over the last year. Give it up Sean. Fox viewers are sick of it
I am so tired of ringing up my own purchases. @Lowes, you need actual cashiers, not people standing around making sure customers ring everything up. I bought some adhesive today, and the register wouldn't continue until the supervisor typed in a bunch of overrides. How is this any different than her ringing up the purchase herself? There is no one in any department to assist with finding anything, and I find myself buying items on my Amazon app WHILE SHOPPING IN YOUR STORE because I cannot find anyone to help me. Do you want me to show up in the morning to unload the trucks and stock the shelves, too?
Muting vulgar people just does not feel as satisfying as blocking them. I used to feel guilty about doing either, but I'm sick of them.
They can't provide a reasonable argument, yet they are free to name call and make boorish comments.
Do they have any actual friends in real life?
@RichardEll85508@crunchytradcon Positive socialization vs Negative Socialization. I homeschooled to avoid the negative. My kids got a lot of positive socialization through sports and homeschool co-ops. They were able to hold conversations with people of all ages, not just their peers.
I’m sick and tired of it all.
I’m sick and tired of traitors wearing suits and smiles while they sell us out.
Sick and tired of Candace Owens turning every headline into her personal drama tour.
Sick and tired of hearing about Joe Kent, somebody I’d never heard of three days ago.
I’m tired of MTG's Botox sunburnt face and that cheap boxed bleach job she runs through her hair every six weeks.
Tired of Thomas Massie’s Jerry curls looking like he just rolled out of a 70s porn set.
Tired of Tucker Carlson and that weird thousand-yard stare he does like he’s reading your soul.
And this ain’t just a Republican problem.
I’m calling balls and strikes on everybody.
I’m sick and tired of the Krassensteins flooding my feed with their cry-baby rage-bait, racking up hundreds of thousands of impressions while the rest of us grind.
Tired of seeing JoJoFromJerz's face caked in enough makeup to spackle a house.
Tired of seeing that thing on Ilhan Omar’s head.
Tired of Jasmine Crockett’s non-stop loud mouth and AOC’s horse face lecturing me about “systemic” everything while she flies first class.
I’m sick and tired of people who break the actual law never seeing the inside of a jail cell.
Fraudsters, corrupt politicians, pedophiles on the Epstein list.
I’m sick and tired of hearing “no one is above the law” when it’s crystal clear that everyone is above the law except you and me.
I’m tired of good things happening to bad people.
Tired of the worst accounts on X blowing up while honest voices and talent gets buried.
Tired of Hollywood elites and late-night “comedians” telling me how to live while they snort coke in mansions.
Tired of corporate suits pushing DEI quotas that punish hard work and reward skin color.
Tired of teachers in schools sneaking in agendas instead of teaching real history.
I’m sick and tired of people telling me to live my life a certain way so I don’t “offend” folks with mental illness.
Biology isn’t bigotry, and I’m not rewriting reality to make anyone feel special.
But what I’m sick and tired of the MOST…are the people who hate America.
The ones who burn the flag, kneel for the anthem, and scream that this country was founded on “stolen land” and “oppression.”
The ones who flood across our border, take our benefits, wave their own flags, and then trash the greatest nation God ever gave man.
The ones in Congress who call America “racist” while cashing taxpayer checks.
The so-called journalists who apologize for every American achievement like it’s a crime to be exceptional.
These America-haters don’t love freedom, they fear it.
They don’t want opportunity, they want equality of misery.
They push socialism in our schools, woke nonsense in our military, and shame in our hearts because a strong, proud America stands in the way of their globalist wet dream.
Well I’m here to tell you...
I love this country with every fiber of my being.
I love the dirt in my backyard, the fireworks on the Fourth, the smell of barbecue on a summer night, and the fact that my three kids can still dream bigger than anywhere else on Earth.
I love the Constitution, the Bill of Rights, the flag that flies over my house, and the men and women in uniform who’ve kept us free.
I love that we’re the only nation on the planet dumb enough and brave enough to say “give me liberty or give me death” and actually mean it.
I’m done being polite about it all.
I’ll keep writing, keep voting, keep raising my kids right, and keep standing for the greatest experiment in human freedom the world has ever known.
Because if loving America makes me the bad guy…then lock me up with the rest of the patriots.
I’m sick and tired of the haters.
But I’ll never be tired of this country.
MAGA forever.
One of the realities of living in the area we do is the occasional celebrity signing.
Funny story about Gary Busey. I was driving home from LAX after flying a Delta trip late one night. The traffic was so bad on the 405 that night so I decided to drive up the PCH, look at the ocean, and not get stressed.
I pulled up to a stop light in Malibu, still in my Delta pilot uniform, tie, epaulets and all. It was around midnight on a Friday.
I looked to my left while at the light, and in the vehicle next to me is Gary Busey. He looks over at me and sees me in my uniform and he freaks out! He thinks I’m a cop. 🤣🤣🤣
He immediately looks straight ahead and put his hands on the steering wheel at 10 and 2! No more eye contact. I laughed all the way home! 🤣🤣🤣
Do you truly understand what Japan just gained? As a Japanese citizen, I’m telling you—this moment changed history.
Trump's Pearl Harbor joke wasn't an insult. It was the key that finally unlocked something buried deep in the Japanese soul.
For 80 long years, we've carried apology and guilt like a permanent shadow—haunted by the past, bound by the Constitution America wrote for us, forever in "reflection mode." He turned that raw wound into a shared laugh between equals.
No more endless atonement. No more vassal shadow.
The curse is broken. Japan is free now.
Thank you, Mr. President.
We're allowed to stand tall again—as true partners, not subordinates.
The strongest alliance in the world is rising—equals, brothers, ride-or-die.

@DisrespectedThe I’m no longer seeing several accounts that I really like, that I’ve followed awhile. So then I have to hunt them down to catch up on their posts. I’m happy about the fact that I’ve been seeing yours, and I always enjoy your posts
I need to say something about Elon Musk.
When I started posting on X regularly it was to inform people about COVID-19 vaccines and the dangers of it.
Then it morphed into sprinkling in some humor and feel good videos.
Then came the monetization. My first 2 week check was $100. I was grateful. So grateful.
Now, I literally make a second income that has helped not only me but so many others. I've been able to help so many people in need with that money.
When you hear me disappointed in the algorithms, I'm still grateful for what I receive. Please, don't take my disappointment as being ungrateful.
I like consistency. So, if im posting the same amount a day I really don't expect my impressions to be so inconsistent.
With that all being said, Elon and X has had a profound effect on many of us and when he was gracious enough to help all of us, I find it my duty to pay it forward to less fortunate people.
Now, Elon volunteered to pay TSA employees. He didn't have to. That just shows what kind of heart he has.
Thank you @elonmusk for helping so many people with your generosity! I for one appreciate it.
🚨Candace Owens Says Charlie Kirk Was “Too Smart” to Be Protestant…
Here’s Why the Bible Proves Her Wrong 🔥🚨
Candace Owens recently told a Catholic audience that Charlie Kirk was “too smart to be Protestant.”
Respectfully, Candace—Charlie was smart enough to follow Scripture over tradition. Protestantism isn’t ignorance; it’s biblical fidelity. The Reformation wasn’t rebellion—it was a return to God’s Word alone.
I honor godly Catholics who truly love Jesus, but these core Catholic doctrines don’t hold up when tested against the Bible. That’s why millions (including sharp minds like Charlie) stayed Protestant:
1. **Purgatory** — Nowhere in Scripture. “It is appointed for man to die once, and after that comes judgment” (Hebrews 9:27). No second chance or purifying fire.
2. **Praying to / Veneration of Dead Saints** — Unbiblical. “There is one mediator between God and men, the man Christ Jesus” (1 Timothy 2:5). We go directly to Jesus—no co-redeemers needed.
3. **Mandatory Celibacy for Priests** — Contradicts the Bible. Overseers must be “the husband of one wife” (1 Timothy 3:2). Peter himself was married (Matthew 8:14).
4. **Papal Infallibility & Supreme Authority** — Not found in Scripture. Christ is the Head of the Church (Ephesians 5:23). Peter called himself a “fellow elder,” not a supreme pontiff.
5. **Tradition Elevated Above Personal Bible Study** — Tradition can be useful, but Scripture is supreme and sufficient. “All Scripture is God-breathed and is useful for teaching… so that the servant of God may be thoroughly equipped” (2 Timothy 3:16–17).
6. **Infant Baptism & Sale of Indulgences** — Baptism follows personal belief and repentance (Acts 8:36–38; Mark 16:16). Indulgences (paying to reduce punishment for sin) contradict “by grace you have been saved through faith… not of works” (Ephesians 2:8–9).
The Reformation restored what Scripture actually teaches: Sola Scriptura, Sola Gratia, Sola Fide. America’s founding freedoms were deeply shaped by Protestant convictions—personal faith, liberty of conscience, and the authority of the Bible over human tradition.
Candace can poke fun at Protestants, but Charlie Kirk lived a faith grounded in God’s unchanging Word, not evolving traditions. Let’s honor his legacy by staying true to Scripture. ✝️📖
Who still believes the Bible—not tradition—should have the final say? Drop a 🔥 if you’re with Charlie on this one.

Israel’s official account in Persian posted this:
“The sun of freedom will rise again over Iran. Soon.
We love you and stand with you, until freedom.
Happy Nowruz 🇮🇷🌸🇮🇱”
