@CaliRN619 That is exactly where I want to retire. Sanibel Island.

Hubby and I visited Sanibel Island in Florida this weekend and what I DIDN’T see was more impressive than what I DID see. I didn’t see homeless people camped on the beach or boardwalk. I didn’t see needles and drug paraphernalia laying around. I didn’t see human feces on the sidewalks. I didn’t see criminals looting stores or attacking people. I didn’t see any of the things that have become the norm in California. Thank you @GovRonDeSantis for fostering a clean, safe, beautiful paradise and being the governor that America needs.

Let's discuss the Insurrection Act. The Insurrection Act isn’t some dusty relic for polite debate… it’s a goddamn constitutional scalpel forged in 1807, honed through blood and rebellion, and it sits in President Trump’s hands right now like a live grenade with the pin already halfway out. Section 252 of Title 10, United States Code, is crystal fucking clear: whenever “unlawful obstructions, combinations, or assemblages, or rebellion against the authority of the United States” make it “impracticable to enforce the laws” by ordinary means, the President can call forth the military and militia to suppress it. Washington used it against the Whiskey Rebellion. Lincoln invoked it to crush secessionist treason. Eisenhower deployed it to ram integration down the throats of Southern governors who thought they could nullify the Constitution. Every single time, the message was the same: when the republic’s survival demands it, the Executive Branch doesn’t ask permission from the very vermin blocking the law. And right now? Congress is the insurrection. These corrupt idiots…both sides of the uniparty sewer…have turned the People’s House into a racketeering enterprise. Insider trading on a scale that would send any street hood to federal pound-me-in-the-ass prison for life. They exempted themselves from insider-trading laws while trading on classified briefings, then passed 6,000-page omnibus slush funds at 3 a.m. while the country burned. They weaponized the DOJ, FBI, and intelligence apparatus against political opponents in open violation of the Bill of Rights. They flooded the borders with military-age males from adversary nations, funded endless foreign wars while veterans slept in tents, and printed trillions in fiat funny money that gutted the middle class. That isn’t governance. That is organized rebellion against the sovereign will of the American people. Psychologically, they’re terrified because they know what they are: hollow men, midwits in $5,000 suits whose only real skill is narrative control and graft. They project their own treason onto Trump because the alternative…admitting the system they’ve rigged for decades is collapsing under the weight of their greed…would force them to confront the abyss they created. So they scream “democracy dies in darkness” while they’re the ones blacking out the windows and locking the doors. Trump doesn’t need their permission. He doesn’t need 60 Senate votes. He doesn’t need another toothless “investigation.” One invocation of the Insurrection Act, backed by the plain text of the Constitution (Article II, Section 3: “he shall take Care that the Laws be faithfully executed”), and the military…loyal, apolitical, oath-bound to the Constitution, not to Chuck Schumer’s slush-fund machine…can restore order with lethal precision. Corrupt members obstructing lawful federal functions? Removed. Facilities used to coordinate lawfare? Secured. The administrative state’s chokehold on the Republic? Snapped like a chicken’s neck. This isn’t fantasy. This is the law. The same law the regime cheered when it was used against parents at school boards or border agents doing their jobs. Turnabout is not just fair play…it’s constitutional justice. The country doesn’t need more hearings, more “norms,” more slow-walked theater while Rome burns. It needs a lion in the Oval Office to roar once, enforce the law without mercy, and let the chips fall where they may. The corrupt will cry “coup.” The people will call it deliverance. President Trump: the Act is yours. Use it. Clean house with fire and finality. The time for half-measures died in 2024. This is the hour of the axe. 💀⚖️🗡️

Kier Starmer was visiting a very small village in the UK, and asked the villagers what the government could do for them. "We have two big needs" said the village spokesman. "First, we Have a health centre, but no doctor." Starmer whipped out his mobile phone, spoke for a while and then said "I've sorted it out, a doctor will arrive here tomorrow. “What is your other need then?" “We have no mobile phone reception at all in our village”. 😬🤣

President Trump didn’t tweet. He launched a kinetic strike from orbit. German Chancellor Friedrich Merz...freshly installed steward of a hollow Reich...had the gall to whine that America was “humiliated” by Iran. Trump’s reply was surgical, lethal, and dripping with the contempt these continentals have earned for seventy years: “The Chancellor of Germany should spend more time on ending the war with Russia/Ukraine (Where he has been totally ineffective!), and fixing his broken Country, especially Immigration and Energy, and less time on interfering with those that are getting rid of the Iran Nuclear threat, thereby making the World, including Germany, a safer place!” Boom. The mask slipped. The vassal state that can’t keep the lights on, can’t seal its borders from the Third World tide, and can’t even pretend to deter Putin suddenly lectures the only adult in the room about “humiliation.” Fuck you, Merz. Fuck the entire post-1945 European pathology that produced you. Let’s speak the truth these salons will never stomach. Psychology of the Cuckold Continent. Europe isn’t just weak; it is pathologically dependent. Post-WWII, we pumped the Marshall Plan into a continent that had gutted itself twice in thirty years. We gave them the nuclear umbrella, the 70-plus percent of NATO’s actual combat power, the logistics backbone that lets their militaries play dress-up. In return they cultivated a psychic complex: moral superiority married to strategic impotence. It’s battered-spouse syndrome in reverse...the wife (America) keeps handing over the paycheck while the degenerate husband (Europe) drinks, cheats, lectures, and resents the very hand that feeds him. They hate us because we expose their castration. Every American strike that actually neutralizes a threat...whether Soleimani, bin Laden, or now the Iranian nuclear program...reminds them they lack the will, the balls, and the arsenal to do it themselves. Historical Betrayal on Steroids. NATO was forged to stop Stalin’s hordes from rolling to the Channel. Fine. Mission accomplished in 1991. What followed was the greatest strategic grift in history: Europe deliberately demilitarized, offshored its energy security to Putin’s pipelines, opened the gates to mass Islamic migration that now runs its no-go zones, and then had the nerve to call America “unilateralist” every time we lifted a finger. Germany...yes, the same Germany that once fielded Wehrmacht panzers...now fields a Bundeswehr that can barely muster a brigade without American airlift, fuel, and ammo. Their energy policy is a green suicide cult. Their immigration policy is national suicide by demography. And still they posture as the adults in the room. Military and Geopolitical Reality Check. The United States subsidizes European defense so Berlin and Paris can virtue-signal about climate accords and lecture us on “rules-based order” while Iranian proxies swarm the Red Sea and Russian artillery turns Ukrainian fields into moonscapes. Trump just reminded the world: when America moves against an existential nuclear threat, the planet...including the Euro-cucks...gets safer whether they like it or not. Merz’s bleating is projection. Germany is humiliated daily...by its own impotence, its own demographic replacement, its own energy poverty. The only humiliation America suffers is the self-inflicted kind: staying married to this welfare queen alliance. We are the abused wife who keeps coming back with fresh bruises and a new credit card. “But the kids!” they cry...meaning their precious European social model built on American blood and treasure. Bullshit. The kids grew up spoiled, soft, and sneering. Time for the divorce. GET THE FUCK OUT OF NATO. Let the continent that invented total war face the wolves it invited. Let Germany discover what actual security costs when the American ATM is closed and the 101st Airborne isn’t riding to the rescue. America First isn’t isolationism...it’s sanity. We will keep the seas open, the nukes ready, and the homeland defended. But subsidizing effete ingrates who piss on our boots while demanding we bleed for their mistakes? That era ends now. Trump sees it. The American people are waking to it. Europe had seventy years of the free ride. The bill is due. Pay it yourselves...or watch the house burn while you lecture the firemen on their tone. 💀

@karolineleavitt By a lot. Classy

Melania is the most beautiful and well dressed First Lady in history.

The Japanese Samurai had a rule: never make a decision before you can answer this one question. In feudal Japan, elite samurai were trained never to act until they could honestly answer one question their masters repeated for decades: "If I die tomorrow, does this choice still matter?" It wasn't philosophy. It was a mental filter designed to cut through fear, ego, and short-term emotion in seconds. Most modern decisions are made under invisible pressure: deadlines, social approval, FOMO. The result is a life built on reactions instead of clarity. When you start applying the samurai question daily, something shifts. Small irritations lose power. Big risks become obvious. You stop chasing things that won't matter next year. The samurai understood that true strength isn't speed. It's the ability to see clearly when everyone else is rushing.

La grandeza de saber disculparse. 👏👏

Truth

This was my Mother's coffee pot. I look at this and think about how younger folks keep telling us it's too hard to make it anymore. My parents worked their asses off and still could only afford to split 5 cups of coffee today. Mom hung our clothes on the line, scrubbed floors on her hands and knees. We ate simple but always had enough. We shared bedrooms and one car. On cold nights we'd all sleep in one room because we couldn't afford to heat the whole house. They never had 2 nickels to rub together until us kids left home. So, while you are reading this on a $1000 phone, waiting in line for your $10 cup of Starbucks...think about what you have compared to what you need.

The struggle is real.

Some things just make the internet worthwhile.

Hello Senator Thune, At 3 AM on Friday, March 27th, in a near-empty chamber, you passed a bill by voice vote that excludes all funding for ICE and CBP. Let me repeat that: voice vote. No roll call. No record of who was there. No accountability. Just you, Barrasso, and a handful of senators shuffling paper in the dead of night while America slept. You could have demanded a recorded vote. You chose not to. You could have held the line for five more days until the House returned. You chose not to. You could have used the same procedural tools Democrats have used against you for 40 days. You chose not to. Instead, you gave Chuck Schumer exactly what he asked for, DHS funding minus immigration enforcement, and called it a win. Then you walked to the cameras and blamed the Democrats. Let's be precise about what you did: 1. You caved to a demand Democrats made on Day 1 of this shutdown. Forty-one days of supposed hardball negotiation, and you settled for their opening offer. 2. You handed them a template. The next time Democrats want to defund any agency — ICE, CBP, or anything else — they now know: just shut down DHS and wait. John Thune will fold at 3 AM. 3. You punted to reconciliation. "Good possibility," you said. Not "we will." Not "guaranteed." Just maybe. Meanwhile, ICE operates on fumes from last year's bill with no certainty of future funding. The precedent you set: You have argued for months that the filibuster is sacrosanct. That the 60-vote threshold protects minority rights. That we cannot bend Senate rules for policy wins. But at 3 AM on Friday, you bent every norm that actually mattered: • Voice vote to avoid accountability • Empty chamber to avoid debate • Midnight deal to avoid scrutiny • Immediate recess to avoid questions You'll bend the rules to avoid a fight. You just won't bend them to win one. What you've actually accomplished: Democrats demanded ICE restrictions. They got ICE defunded. Not reformed. Not restrained. Defunded. And you're out here tweeting about how Democrats are the "Defund the Police" party while you just voted to defund border enforcement at 3 in the morning. The question you should answer: Why did this deal have to happen at 3 AM? Why couldn't it happen at 3 PM, with cameras rolling and every senator on record? You know why. Because you didn't want your voters to see what surrender looks like. Here's my message: We saw it anyway. Stop hiding behind "Democrat obstruction." You're the Majority Leader. You set the schedule. You control the floor. You chose this outcome. Own it.

Ok I know I voted for Trump 3 times but him being brutally honest about his feelings about someone who tried to destroy him, his administration and his family is too much. I am not voting for him in 2028. Unless he finds a way to run again in which case I definitely will.
