There is no such thing as Islamophobia. Phobia is: "an extreme or irrational fear of or aversion to something". For true patriots of our American Constitutional Republic*, the fear and loathing of Islamists and actions taken to protect our society/culture and nation from the threats is 100% rational. It's telling that the US Left do not share that value... *American government is *not* a democracy per our Founders and Article IV Section 4 US Constitution - rather American government is a "Republican Form of Government". If you only read one sentence, read the last sentence... California has a despotic government in the sense of the Article IV Sect. 4. CA is not the only such state.

You are mincing words to avoid the central fact: The US Military reports to the US POTUS and resides in the Executive Branch. The Congress resides in their own separate branch of US government that is under control of the Speaker of the House and leader of the Senate. Both Pelosi and RINO-McConnell (functionally a democrat) refused to ask POTUS for the National Guard to provide security at the event. Again as you seem immune to facts: The National Guard reports to POTUS but POTUS cannot unilaterally send the NG into the US Capitol buildings/property because it's under control of the Speaker and Senate Leader and their permission is *required* for POTUS to do so. That permission was never provided as the two criminals, Pelosi and McConnell, deliberately allowed (if not enabled which is the rational explanation for that day's events) the violence to begin and escalate.

@sempsictyranis @ChiefSund @julie_kelly2 The Speaker and the DC mayor do not have more power than the president and can not activate the National Guard in DC.

Reposting my April 2022 article noting how Mitch McConnell told a reporter late that evening that he was "exhilarated" by the events of January 6. Why? Because he got his way. And McConnell's security chief, along with Pelosi's. had repeatedly ignored pleas by @ChiefSund for authorization to deploy the National Guard. "A dirty little secret about January 6—one of many—is that Democrats and establishment Republicans, not Trump supporters, wanted to shut down the official proceedings of that day. Just as the first wave of protesters breached the building shortly after 2 p.m., congressional Republicans were poised to present evidence of rampant voting fraud in the 2020 presidential election. Ten incumbent and four newly-elected Republican senators planned to work with their House colleagues to demand the formation of an audit commission to investigate election 'irregularities' in the 2020 election. Absent an audit, the group of senators, including Ted Cruz (R-Texas) and Ron Johnson (R-Wis.) pledged to reject the Electoral College results from the disputed states. The Hail Mary effort was doomed to fail; yet the American people would have heard hours of debate related to provable election fraud over the course of the day. And no one opposed the effort more than ex-Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-Ky.). During a conference call on December 31, 2020, McConnell urged his Republican Senate colleagues to abandon plans to object to the certification, insisting his vote to certify the 2020 election results would be 'the most consequential I have ever cast' in his 36-year Senate career. From the Senate floor on the afternoon of January 6, McConnell gave a dramatic speech warning of the dire consequences to the country should Republicans succeed in delaying the vote. He downplayed examples of voting fraud and even mocked the fact that Trump-appointed judges rejected election lawsuits. 'The voters, the courts, and the States have all spoken,' McConnell insisted. 'If we overrule them, it would damage our Republic forever. If this election were overturned by mere allegations from the losing side, our democracy would enter a death spiral.' Roughly six hours later, McConnell got his way. Cowed by the crowd of largely peaceful Americans allowed into the building by Capitol police, most Republican senators backed off the audit proposal. McConnell, echoing hyperbolic talking points about an 'insurrection' seeded earlier in the day by Democratic lawmakers and the news media, gloated. 'They tried to disrupt our democracy,' he declared on the Senate floor after Congress reconvened around 8 p.m. 'This failed attempt to obstruct Congress, this failed insurrection, only underscores how crucial the task before us is for our Republic.' Congress officially certified the Electoral College results early the next day. While he projected a sober tone to the American public, McConnell privately was ecstatic, a new book about the 2020 election reveals. 'I feel exhilarated by the fact that this fellow finally, totally discredited himself,' McConnell told New York Times reporter Jonathan Martin late on January 6, 2021 about Trump. Martin is the co-author of This Will Not Pass, of which excerpts were published in the Washington Post this week. Martin in the book recounts his midnight conversation with McConnell. Trump, McConnell claimed, 'put a gun to his head and pulled the trigger,' Martin writes. He then asked the reporter what he had heard about members plotting to invoke the 25th Amendment. Calling Trump a 'despicable person,' McConnell reportedly bragged how he 'crushed the sons of bitches' on January 6 and promised to do the same to them in the 2022 primaries. Now, that seems like an oddly celebratory demeanor for someone who just survived an 'attack on our democracy' and an alleged attempt to 'overthrow' the seat of government power, doesn’t it? And why was McConnell so certain the four-hour disturbance would spell the end for Donald Trump? Further—and more importantly—why did McConnell’s office fail to protect the Capitol on January 6? His Sergeant at Arms at the time served on the U.S. Capitol police board, a four-man body that manages security at the sprawling Capitol complex. McConnell appointed Michael Stenger in 2018 to serve in that role; Stenger, in addition to his House counterpart, Paul Irving, rejected multiple requests by the Capitol Police chief for extra help in advance of January 6. Steven Sund, a Capitol Police captain, said he spoke with Stenger on January 4, 2021 to ask for National Guardsmen. 'Instead of approving the use of the National Guard, however, Mr. Stenger suggested I ask them how quickly we could get support if needed and to ‘lean forward’ in case we had to request assistance on January 6.' He spoke with Stenger again on January 5; the board still refused to advance his plan for extra guardsmen. As the chaos unfolded right as the joint session of Congress convened on January 6, Sund said he 'notified the two Sergeant at Arms by 1:09 p.m. that I urgently needed support and asked them to declare a State of Emergency and authorize the National Guard.' Stenger and Irving, who were together that afternoon, said he was waiting for 'authorization' by congressional leadership. That approval came an hour later, but with a caveat: Sund also needed the Pentagon’s authorization. 'Almost two hours later, we had still not received authorization from the Pentagon to activate the National Guard,' Sund testified in February 2021. 'Mr. Stenger offered to have Senator McConnell call the Secretary of the Army to expedite the request. I agreed that this would be a good idea. I followed up approximately 20 minutes later to check on the call and express the need for leadership to call to assist in expediting the request.' Guardsmen did not arrive until 5:40 p.m., four-and-a-half hours after Sund’s first dispatch and after the protest had ended. McConnell, House Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.), and D.C. Mayor Muriel Bowser—the three leaders responsible for protecting the Capitol on January 6—still have not explained their failure to do so. Not only did McConnell’s top law enforcement officials purportedly overlook the potential for violence on January 6, he denied requests for more officers days before and delayed sending guardsmen to Capitol Hill that afternoon. And it will be nearly impossible to find out why: Stegner, along with Irving and Sund, all resigned on January 7, 2021. So, perhaps there is a darker explanation for McConnell’s  giddiness on January 6. What unfolded that day on McConnell’s watch ended Republican demands for an election audit; criminalized criticism of the 2020 election, which McConnell still describes as 'fair' and legitimate; vilified Republican lawmakers; and prompted Trump’s second impeachment. McConnell also believed the protest would spell the end of the Trump movement, something the Beltway crony long attempted to quash. Like the Biden regime, congressional Democrats, and the national news media, the aftermath of the Capitol protest achieved all sorts of political ends for Mitch McConnell.

It's sick how you omit the fact that under per separation of powers, the POTUS cannot unilaterally order the National Guard into buildings under control of the Congressional Branch without permission from the Speaker of the House or the RINO who leads the Senate, who for all intents and purposes, operates to further the Democratic Party's goals.

@sempsictyranis @ChiefSund @julie_kelly2 It is hilarious how you think the president has no authority over the NG. You should really do more research. Unless you want to remain ignorant

GOOD! Supreme Court Signals It Will STRIKE DOWN All State Laws Allowing Ballots to Be Counted AFTER Election Day! No more shady midnight drops. No more “find more ballots” nonsense. No more weeks of extended counting that destroys trust. Elections must end on Election Day, ballots in by close of polls, counted that night. Period.

I’m disgusted with our own party. I was told I wasn’t a “team player” because I wouldn’t go along.

Consequential thoughts can be set aside for a later time. Our heart expresses deep gratitude for @TulsiGabbard 's unwavering strength, and I am certain you will all join with me in prayer for a successful treatment, fast recovery and extended life for both of them – filled with abundance and joy. “My rock.” It is well understood. When cancer introduces the frozen moment of fear, it is prayer that battles the dark imaginings and faith that fuels us. There is before the moment of our knowledge, and there is everything that comes next. All else moves in a blur, we become disconnected from daily challenge. When the body is tested, faith and prayer strengthen the soul. Our battle no longer manifests in the business of things, but rather in the spirit of our faith.  “With God,” is not something to say it is the core of how we fight; we lean into the source of all healing. Prayer connects us directly to the God of love who created every cell in our body. In the battle against cancer, prayer is not the last resort it’s the beginning, the front line of hope and healing. Heavenly Father, we have need for You today. Please provide Your healing power and grace upon Abraham Williams, the husband of Tulsi Gabbard. Lord of mercy guide those who will now tend the affliction. We accept Your works through those You guide and love powerfully, completely and unconditionally. Our first, last and final healing is always found in You. We come to You today with our prayers for both Abraham and Tulsi, and we know You hear our prayers just as You understand our faith. We ask for Your comforting embrace of Abraham, Tulsi and those they love. Father of strength, lift the heart of Tulsi Gabbard and fill her with fortitude, courage and the sense of safety. God that holds the stars, we ask for Your healing and grace to cover Abraham; every affliction; every wound; every trepidation and consequence. Thank You for Your mighty power that works through all things. We reach out to You knowing through every struggle Your glory is in command. We ask that You pull our prayers close and extend Your healing power. In Jesus’ name. ~Amen!

Switzerland has banned the niqab and burqa, and refuses to recognize Islam as an official religion. Should other countries follow Switzerland’s lead?

This is Kristopher Eggle. He was shot and killed by an illegal alien drug cartel member. He was 28 years old—a law enforcement park ranger. Kristopher is why I support ICE.

SCOOP In an unearthed video, Senator Cornyn’s team forgot to delete a video from YouTube where Cornyn advocates for amnesty for illegal aliens. It would be a shame if every Republican in Texas sees this before the May 26th runoff. No amnesty!

Thank you for posting this! On Monday, please remember what that hamburger actually cost. Please help me remember my one and only son, PFC Jacob H Wykstra KIA May 28th 2014 Maruf, Afghanistan Forever 21 Jake, we never stop loving you, remembering you and missing the heck outta you. ♥️🇺🇸

We need to deport Democrats... That would cure America's problems overnight.

My friend, Leah with a heart of gold 💛 and a beautiful soul passed away today. This precious lady suffered through cancer and other illnesses. Yet, she refused to accept sympathy. Laughter was her medicine. Pray for her son graduating high school. 🙏🏼 @LT_FreedomUSA

Austin Metcalf, who was stabbed to death at a Frisco ISD track meet on April 2, was posthumously recognized at the Frisco ISD high school graduation. He received a STANDING OVATION! His brother, who held Austin in his arms as he tragically passed away, accepted the certificate in Austin’s honor. 💔 Justice for Austin. Congrats, Hunter!

BREAKING: President Trump announces that 9/11 hero Welles Crowther will posthumously receive the Presidential Medal of Freedom. Known as “The Man in the Red Bandana,” Crowther repeatedly ran back into the South Tower on 9/11 to help others escape, saving as many as 18 lives before losing his own. Allison Crowther said her son’s legacy continues to endure nearly 25 years later: “Welles’ light still shines brightly.”

Those "city officials" responsible for order the police to carry out an unconstitutional arrest and jailing should be prosecuted to full extent of the law and sent to prison for some significant period of time. The woman whose rights were egregiously violated and who had to go to *jail* for *doing nothing wrong* should be compensated from the city treasury/insurance and from the from the official(s) who ordered her arrested as restitution.

Jennifer Combs, a resident of Trinidad, Texas, was actively arrested and jailed simply for making a Facebook post exposing the city's brown, contaminated tap water. The city officials panicked over the bad publicity, hid behind a garbage law, and used the local police department to lock her up under the guise of "preventing public alarm." ​Let’s be entirely real: this isn’t law enforcement; it’s tyrannical retaliation. Since when does a local bureaucrat get the right to suspend the First Amendment because their infrastructure is failing? If the citizens can’t openly criticize the basic hiding-in-plain-sight truth of what’s coming out of their own common faucets without getting a mugshot, the system is completely broken. ​She is officially suing the city for violating her civil rights. Is this Texas or North Korea? ​🎥: Fox 4 News

In both cases, police were uncaring, but only in one case does Starmer bend the knee

@HungCao_VA That is the kind of awesome that God is known for. It happened for a reason or reasons not yet known to anyone but God.

Thirty years after I graduated, and exactly one month after I assumed the duties and responsibilities as the acting Secretary of the Navy, I got to sign my own son’s commission and speak at his graduation. Only God could have orchestrated this.

2 weeks from now will 3 years since my wife had total respiratory failure. 7 days on ventilator, 88 days in ICU & a trach in her throat. Yesterday the trach was removed. Her anxiety is extremely high. She now thinks she can't breathe w/out it & she's scared. Please pray. 🙏
