Elon’s mom caught posting from the perspective of Elon’s dad. It doesn’t take a rocket scientist to assume Elon is posting on Twitter as both his parents & was on the wrong alt. The cringe deepens daily with this one.

@foo_schnickens @overton_news Duh!

@overton_news And they just let Fauci go free LOL they aren't going to do ANYTHING meaningful. We are being played.

“I think that was 45 seconds — that took me two years of my life.” Kash Patel just summed up in 45 seconds what took him TWO YEARS of his life to prove about the Deep State’s illegal spying operation on President Trump. PATEL: “Remember this, it took me two years of my life to prove the following…” “That a political party in the United States of America in the 21st century would go overseas and hire some bogus intelligence asset to manufacture fraudulent, fake, unverified information…” “Funnel that to, not just the intelligence community, but the Federal Bureau of Investigation, and then take those packaged lies that they had paid for with campaign finance funds and go into a secret surveillance court and illegally spy on your opponent to be the next president of the United States.” “I think that was 45 seconds — that took me two years of my life.” “And what did we find out? The FISA court themselves came back and said these warrants were illegal.”

@LauraLoomer The press loves him” = he answered questions coherently and treated the room like professionals instead of enemies. Try it sometime!

Rubio is very likable. The press is loving him today in the Press Room.

“Kill them” is not a serious theological or historical analysis of a religion practiced by nearly 2 billion people across dozens of cultures, legal systems, and interpretations. Every major religion contains difficult, violent, or exclusionary passages somewhere in its texts or history — including Christianity and Judaism. The relevant question in a constitutional society is not “can I find extremist interpretations,” but whether individuals obey secular law and respect the rights of others. That’s why we judge conduct, not assume collective guilt. Otherwise you end up applying a standard that would condemn Catholics over the Inquisition, Protestants over sectarian violence, or Christians generally over centuries of wars, colonialism, terrorism, and persecution justified in explicitly religious terms. Selective literalism is not a coherent standard.

@CivicAnalysis @MindofMunitions @realBrandonGill False equivalence. There is a difference between distorting scripture to fit an evil narrative and a religion that explicitly says “Kill them.” When someone literally tells you their goal and carries it out en masse you should probably believe them. 🤷‍♀️

If all cultures were the same, there would be multiple Americas across the globe. But there's only one. And it's a culture we have to defend at all costs.

You mean voices like mine that understand and respect the Constitution? Because the Constitution does not require religious conformity. It requires equal protection under the law and protection of individual rights. You’re also simply wrong on the facts. Religions do not assimilate as collective entities — individuals do. Millions of Muslims in the United States work, vote, serve in the military, raise families, and participate in civic life like every other American community that was once labeled “incompatible” with the country. This behavior is exactly “islamophobia” which is the irrational fear of, hostility towards, or hatred of the religion of Islam or Muslims in general. Assimilation in America has never meant abandoning religion or ancestry. It means accepting constitutional law and civic norms. That standard applies equally to everyone.

@CivicAnalysis @MindofMunitions @realBrandonGill But unfortunately I’m pretty sure my voice will be drowned out by those like yours, and we will usher in our own destruction. I hope I’m wrong.

@LifeNewsHQ I wonder if that is why women are leaving the church in droves.

There is only one Christian position on abortion: Killing babies is wrong.

Radical judges tried to rip mifepristone away from women in America. SCOTUS paused that ruling—and I just led every Senate Democrat in an amicus brief making the case the science already made: mifepristone is safe & effective. Extremists shouldn't decide how we get our medicine.

🤔

@Emily78797000 @MindofMunitions @realBrandonGill Religions are interpreted by human beings, not in a vacuum. Christianity has been used historically to justify violence too, despite verses preaching peace. So either we judge billions of people by extremists selectively, or we judge individuals by their actual conduct.

@CivicAnalysis @MindofMunitions @realBrandonGill Nowhere in the Bible are Christians commanded to kill anyone who won’t convert to Christianity. In fact it says to do the opposite. (1Peter 3:1, 1Peter 3:15, Galatians 5:22-23, 2 Timothy 2:24-25, Matthew 10:14) A very different message in the Quran.

Codifying Roe, passing the John Lewis Voting Rights Act, and holding members of this administration criminally accountable are important goals, but none of it sticks without Supreme Court reform.

@krassenstein Because he’s better at lying?

I know I'll get some hate for this, and I don't like his politics, but I'd at least sleep well at night if Rubio was in charge instead of Trump or Vance.

You’re still doing collective attribution here. A constitutional system does not require you to approve of a religion, trust its theology, or personally associate with its adherents. It requires judging individuals by their conduct under the law. People who threaten violence, coercion, or murder for apostasy should be prosecuted accordingly. But treating 2 billion people as though they all hold the most extreme interpretation of a faith is the same logic historically used against Catholics, Jews, Mormons, atheists, and others.

@CivicAnalysis @MindofMunitions @realBrandonGill Of course not, but it also doesn’t require me to accept someone who seeks to kill me if I refuse to convert to theirs.

@LydiaMoynihan This framing only works if you pretend wealth is created entirely in isolation and not within a massive public and legal infrastructure funded by taxpayers.

@Franklin_Graham The irony is that the most successful long-term ideological project in modern U.S. politics arguably wasn’t communism — it was the fusion of conservative evangelical activism with partisan political power beginning in the late 20th century. Don’t pray, vote.

The Communist Party is alive and well here in the United States! They’ve infiltrated our classrooms and campuses—and our politics. So much of the Democratic Party is dangerously influenced by this. Pray for our nation. foxnews.com/politics/commu…

@frfrankpavone Reducing an extraordinarily complex medical, ethical, legal, and personal issue to a slogan may feel morally satisfying, but it does not resolve the realities women, families, physicians, and society actually face.

@WesleyHuntTX @SenatorWarnock “People disagree with my politics” is not the same thing as “people can’t handle independent Black thought.” Public figures don’t get immunity from criticism by wrapping policy arguments in identity.

I’m told I don’t understand American history. That I’m misinformed. But my family’s story, our service, our sacrifice, that is American history. It’s funny… @SenatorWarnock We’re told to be strong, to be Black, to be proud. But the second a Black American stands up, thinks for himself, and refuses to follow the Left’s script it becomes a problem. I’m not here to fit your narrative. I’m here to break it.

“Responsible” would mean reducing unwanted pregnancies in the first place. That means: * comprehensive sex education, * affordable contraception, * accessible healthcare, * stable housing and childcare, * and economic conditions where people can realistically raise families. But too often the same people condemning abortion also oppose the policies statistically shown to reduce it. And framing every pregnancy as the result of reckless behavior ignores reality entirely: contraceptive failure, coercion, abusive relationships, medical risk, financial instability, and the fact that human beings are imperfect. You can personally oppose abortion while still recognizing that forcing childbirth through state power is a far more serious moral and legal question than this slogan makes it sound.

Having unprotected sex when you’re not ready for children just to kill the child is the most unresponsible, cruel choice.

One thing I’ll give Joe Kent credit for: he’s speaking from actual operational experience instead of treating war like a cable news strategy game. You don’t have to agree with him politically to recognize the broader point: the U.S. has repeatedly armed “moderate” factions abroad only to watch instability, extremism, militia networks, and long-term blowback follow. Iraq, Libya, Syria, Afghanistan — the pattern is at least worth serious reflection before casually talking about another proxy conflict or regime-change project. What also stands out is that he’s willing to publicly break with parts of his own political coalition on this issue instead of defaulting to partisan loyalty. That’s increasingly rare in American politics. Lindsey Graham’s comments are dangerously short-sided (as usual?) Appreciate this message @joekent16jan19!

"Let's just arm one more group of moderate rebels... It'll work this time; I can feel it!" This is the gamblers fallacy in action. Graham is laying the groundwork for decades of chaos and blow back terrorism. The concept of sending arms to the locals sounds good at first but has never served our long-term interests. Our efforts to "arm the people" of governments we don't like led to the rise of the Taliban, Al-Qaeda, ISIS, every Shia militia in Iraq as well as the destabilization of Iraq, Syria, Libya, and Yemen, just to name a few. I say this as a former Green Beret and CIA Paramilitary Ops officer who has been involved in these operations- they simply don't work in the long run. There is no military solution to our conflict with Iran, POTUS should stop listening to those who have not updated their thinking since 2003 and get us out of this mess before we are sucked further in.

A vaccine is a substance that stimulates an immune response against a disease. COVID mRNA vaccines do that. You can debate efficacy, mandates, side effects, risk-benefit analysis, pharmaceutical influence, or public policy failures. But redefining established scientific terminology mid-argument is rhetoric, not analysis.

Ron Johnson says what many Americans have been waiting years to hear from a sitting senator. The COVID “vaccine” isn’t a vaccine. “I call it an injection.” “Because it’s not a vaccine.” “It’s a platform that turns your body into every cell in your body into a manufacturing site of the spike protein.” “Which is the most toxic part of the coronavirus.” @SenRonJohnson
