Daily Bread: “For we do not wrestle against flesh and blood, but against the rulers, against the authorities, against the cosmic powers over this present darkness, against the spiritual forces of evil in the heavenly places. Therefore take up the whole armor of God, that you may be able to withstand in the evil day, and having done all, to stand firm. Stand therefore, having fastened on the belt of truth, and having put on the breastplate of righteousness, and, as shoes for your feet, having put on the readiness given by the gospel of peace. In all circumstances take up the shield of faith, with which you can extinguish all the flaming darts of the evil one; and take the helmet of salvation, and the sword of the Spirit, which is the word of God, praying at all times in the Spirit, with all prayer and supplication. To that end, keep alert with all perseverance, making supplication for all the saints,” Ephesians 6:12-18 ESV

@mattvanswol It’s not going to look kindly on @LeaderJohnThune and the @SenateGOP for the current clown show.

I don't think history is going to look kindly on the Democrat Party and the media for terrifying the elderly into protesting like this. I saw SO MANY elderly men and women who were genuinely terrified at the "No Kings" rallies yesterday. It was heartbreaking to witness.

🚨 WANT TO REPLACE JOHN THUNE AS MAJORITY LEADER? HERE’S EXACTLY HOW IT WORKS RIGHT NOW. NO 60 VOTES. NO DEMOCRATS. JUST REPUBLICANS! Step 1: 5 Republican Senators send a written request to Conference Chairman Tom Cotton demanding a special meeting. Step 2: Cotton MUST call the full Republican Conference. Step 3: They vote by secret ballot on new leadership. Step 4: A simple majority wins. That’s just 27 out of 53 Republican Senators. That’s it. The mechanism exists TODAY. Where are the 5 with the spine to start it? America is watching. Get it done 🇺🇸

🚨 BREAKING: Sen. Mike Lee calls on Leader Thune to reconvene the Senate IMMEDIATELY and cancel recess to fund DHS if the House bill doesn't pass unanimous consent "This is RIDICULOUS!" "There isn't a good reason for the Senate to not reconvene immediately. Unless we can find a way, I hope and pray that Senate Democrats will agree by unanimous consent tomorrow to pass what the House of Representatives passed the other day." "From what we're hearing, that's not likely. If that's not gonna happen, we've got to reconvene immediately, because we can't leave the Department of Homeland Security funding up in the air for the next two weeks." Let's go! Call them back to town. Shouldn't have left.

Don’t let anyone fool you into thinking the Senate’s dirty DHS deal was just @LeaderJohnThune — rank-and-file Republican senators were in on it too. Any single Republican senator could have stopped the Thune/Schumer DHS deal, but not one did. Not a single one. Republican senators knew leadership’s plan ahead of time, and they still left town knowing exactly what was coming at 3 a.m., while Americans were sleeping.

@MarkMeadows @StevenPSchrage @POTUS @VP @SenateGOP

So Senators have no issue with a vote in the middle of the night on a bill that no one has read. But “for the sake of institution” they want to keep the zombie filibuster. News flash. The senate is broken and it is past time to get rid of the 60 vote cloture threshold.

You are exactly right. So what should we do since we have an obstructionist as the Senate leader? If we are going to save our nation from European style destruction @LeaderJohnThune must be removed. I pray that courage will rise among the senators that still love our country to do what needs to be done. Words aren’t enough. @POTUS @SenateGOP @BasedMikeLee @SenRickScott @SenTedCruz @SenRonJohnson @SenJohnKennedy

.@VP: "I would bet every dollar that I own that the next time the Democrats have control of the Senate, they will break the filibuster, pack the Supreme Court, and destroy this country. We have to do it NOW in order to save the country."

Where is the outrage for the tens of thousands of Christians being slaughtered in Nigeria?

🚨URGENT: Muslim Fulani militants attack Christians near Jos, Nigeria tonight sporadically shooting and killing many. PLEASE PRAY FOR NIGERIA 🙏🏽🇳🇬

*Maybe* Senate Democrats will let the House-passed DHS funding bill pass by unanimous consent in tomorrow’s pro forma session They should let it pass, and it’ll reflect poorly on them if they don’t But in the (likely) event that they don’t, the Senate must reconvene immediately

FINDING OUR FAITH: Former HUD secretary Dr. Ben Carson says a lot of people "don't understand" how faith and religious principles were woven into the fabric of the United States by the nation's founders 250 years ago. "I wonder if those people have read our founding document, the Declaration of Independence, which says that our rights come from our creator."

Palm Sunday in Nigeria!!! 🌴🔥🙌🏼🇳🇬 God is moving powerfully in a nation where christians are so persecuted. 🥺 “Blessed is He who comes in the name of the Lord.” Matthew 21:9

If you haven’t heard, and even if you have, Jimmy Kimmel said this about Markwayne Mullin, former Senator from Oklahoma, and our newest Secretary of Homeland Security: “We have a plumber now protecting us from terrorism.” Apparently, there has been some backlash. Plumbers were offended, obviously, as were parents of plumbers, spouses of plumbers, children of plumbers, and millions of people who have had a plumber show up when they needed one. Comedians were also offended, (the funny ones, anyway,) along with a surprising number of terrorists - especially those with access to hot and cold running water. However, in spite of the ensuing kerfuffle, @jimmykimmel doubled down. “I’m not upset that the head of Homeland Security was a plumber,” he said, “I’m upset that he isn’t still a plumber." He further elucidated by adding, "I wouldn't put a plumber in charge of Homeland Security for the same reason I wouldn't call a five-star general to pull a rat out of my toilet, OK? We all have our areas of expertise.” Being offended is always a choice, and I don’t choose to be offended by a joke, even one that comes at the expense of the skilled tradespeople my foundation tries to elevate. But I am a tad butt hurt by the suggestion that skilled workers should never evolve into something new, and that competence is somehow limited to one vocation. Obviously, expertise and skill are important. If I need a new kidney, I’d prefer a doctor do the surgery, not a late-night talk show host. But if the doctor in question used to host a talk show, why would I hold that against him? Ten years ago, during one of the presidential debates, @MarcoRubio answered a workforce-related question by arguing that America needed to get shop class back into high schools. He concluded by saying, “What our country needs are more welders and fewer philosophers.” A lot of people on this page commented that Rubio and I were singing from the same hymnal, but in fact, we weren’t. At least not entirely. Because I don’t think the current shortage of welders has anything to do with an overabundance of philosophers. In fact, I think it’s a mistake to promote one vocation at the expense of the other. What we really need in this country, are more welders who can talk intelligently about Aristotle, and more philosophers who can run an even bead. More Generals, in other words, who can fix their own toilets, and more plumbers who can hold a powerful government job. This is what Mullin did. He was a private citizen who mastered an essential skill and then turned that skill into a multi-million-dollar company that employed a lot of people and served a lot of customers. That gave him the freedom to do other things with his life, including a career in public service which got him into Congress, where he’s spent the last eleven years doing whatever Congressmen do. Now, he has a very consequential position in the Cabinet of the current administration. Is that not the embodiment of the American Dream? I get that Jimmy Kimmel might have a problem with Mullin’s politics, but what possible objection could he have about the trajectory of his career, or his desire to do more than one thing with his life? The only sensible thing to do in the wake of a moment this tone deaf, is remind America that the skills gap is wide, and getting wider. The shortage of skilled tradespeople is now headline news and closing it is nothing less than a matter of national security. This year, my foundation has set aside $10 million dollars to help train the next generation of plumbers, and lots of other essential workers. I'm talking about hundreds of thousands of AI-proof, six figure jobs that don't require a four-year degree, waiting to be filled. The money is currently available to anyone who wants to master a useful skill at mikeroweworks.org. Apply today. As for those of you genuinely offended by Kimmel's comments, consider expressing your disappointment with a modest donation to mikeroweWORKS. Our work ethic scholarship is making a real difference, and your money will be well spent, I promise. The donate button is big and red and hard to miss, at mikeroweworks.org I’d love to chat but I’ve gotta pull a rat out of my toilet…

Happy Sunday from Franklin Graham and me. Just a reminder that Christ is King and the only path to salvation 👑 A Christ-centered life is full of purpose and meaning and peace. Embrace Jesus today.

And the crowds that went before him and that followed him were shouting, “Hosanna to the Son of David! Blessed is he who comes in the name of the Lord! Hosanna in the highest!”

BREAKING NEWS: Florida is taking a strong stand for the Constitution. House Bill 1471, now heading to Governor Ron DeSantis for signature, bans Sharia law and any foreign or religious legal codes from overriding Florida courts or the U.S. Constitution. No imported doctrine gets to trump American rights and freedoms. The bill also gives the state stronger tools to designate and defund domestic terrorist organizations — keeping taxpayer dollars away from groups that threaten our security. For too long, radical ideologies incompatible with Western values have tried to gain influence. Florida is drawing a clear line: the Constitution is supreme. Period. DeSantis continues to lead in protecting the Sunshine State as a beacon of freedom. America First means defending our sovereignty at every level.

Gazans strangled these two baby angels to death with their bare hands, along with their mother. They burnt the grandparents alive in their own home. They shot the family dog Tonto to death. We will never forget.
