FROM PRESIDENT DONALD J. TRUMP WE GOT HIM! My fellow Americans, over the past several hours, the United States Military pulled off one of the most daring Search and Rescue Operations in U.S. History, for one of our incredible Crew Member Officers, who also happens to be a highly respected Colonel, and who I am thrilled to let you know is now SAFE and SOUND! This brave Warrior was behind enemy lines in the treacherous mountains of Iran, being hunted down by our enemies, who were getting closer and closer by the hour, but was never truly alone because his Commander in Chief, Secretary of War, Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, and fellow War Fighters were monitoring his location 24 hours a day, and diligently planning for his rescue. At my direction, the U.S. Military sent dozens of aircraft, armed with the most lethal weapons in the World, to retrieve him. He sustained injuries, but he will be just fine. This miraculous Search and Rescue Operation comes in addition to a successful rescue of another brave Pilot, yesterday, which we did not confirm, because we did not want to jeopardize our second rescue operation. This is the first time in military memory that two U.S. Pilots have been rescued, separately, deep in Enemy Territory. WE WILL NEVER LEAVE AN AMERICAN WARFIGHTER BEHIND! The fact that we were able to pull off both of these operations, without a SINGLE American killed, or even wounded, just proves once again, that we have achieved overwhelming Air Dominance and Superiority over the Iranian skies. This is a moment that ALL Americans, Republican, Democrat, and everyone else, should be proud of and united around. We truly have the best, most professional, and lethal Military in the History of the World. GOD BLESS AMERICA, GOD BLESS OUR TROOPS, AND HAPPY EASTER TO ALL!

Until recently, Hamideh Soleimani Afshar and her daughter were green card holders living lavishly in the United States. Afshar is the niece of deceased Iranian Major General Qasem Soleimani. She is also an outspoken supporter of the Iranian regime who celebrated attacks on Americans and referred to our country as the "Great Satan." This week, I terminated both Afshar and her daughter's legal status and they are now in ICE custody, pending removal from the United States. The Trump Administration will not allow our country to become a home for foreign nationals who support anti-American terrorist regimes.

Trump puts up a portrait of Christ for Good Friday. Christ is King!

Oxford professor John Lennox on testing the reality of the Resurrection of Jesus Christ: "Now, my final point is this. I'm a scientist of sorts, and people say to me, 'Come on. You can't believe this stuff.' Because in science and practical science you do experiments. You test your hypothesis. Christianity is not testable. Isn't it? Isn't it? You see, the difference between the two last things I read were the difference between seeing something, those grave cloths, and working out an intellectual conclusion that something utterly remarkable has happened. That's not quite the same thing as meeting the risen Jesus. And you see, ladies and gentlemen, if it is true that Jesus rose from the dead, then He's still alive, and it's possible to meet Him. Now, you can do an experiment, and it's this—this Jesus who claims to be risen tells us that if we're prepared to trust Him, repent of the mess we've made of our own lives, and the lives of other people, and we're prepared to receive Him as Lord and Controller of life as the risen Son of God, then He will give us forgiveness. Does the word forgiveness mean anything to you? He'll give us new life and a new power... Now, ladies and gentlemen, this is the test...When you see people with narcotic or alcohol dependence, and they've no food to put on the table in front of their children, and you meet them then a year later, and something has happened. You say, 'What's happened to you?' and they say something like, 'Well, I met Jesus,' or 'I became a Christian,' or they'll put it different ways. When you see that again and again, you add two and two to get four. I wouldn't sit here for a nanosecond if I didn't believe that not only is the resurrection of Jesus intellectually credible, but I believe it's existentially credible because the center part of my life and that of my wife and family is to walk with Him from day to day. Now, that may sound absolute jargon and mumbo-jumbo to you, but we're living in a universe where we discover that we are persons, and every analogy we know tells us that our origin cannot be sub-personal. It's supra-personal. And if we enjoy human friendship, what a magnificent thing it is if God makes a way where we can through faith in Christ become His sons and daughters and enjoy the biggest friendship and the most exciting friendship in the universe, and that is friendship with the risen Christ."

@ImMeme0 @SteCK1878 Not a clue who she is. Gonna have to GTS

Actress Laura Benanti got her ego bruised while boarding a plane when she ran into a group of teenagers from a theater program and none of them recognized her. Her caption read: “I guess they weren’t alive to watch The Tonys in 2008.” How many of you know her?

I’m receiving reports this morning regarding two successful campaigns that occurred over the weekend. 1. No Kings. As of this morning, there are (still) no kings in the United States of America. 2. No Dukes. As of this morning, there are no Dukes in the NCAA tournament.

@CollinRugg Please post the Go Fund Me. Seth should have a full ride to the University of Houston at a minimum. 🙏 Wishing him a miracle in recovery.

This is the likely path Jesus walked into Jerusalem on Palm Sunday more than 2000 years ago, and it still exists. Right here. In Jerusalem.

Elvis Presley is rehearsing "Get Back" (by The Beatles). I didn't expect Elvis to be such a good guitar player - he performed brilliantly here!

@Joseph_Duarte Needs to recruit some euros🏀

Houston coach Kelvin Sampson tells the @houstonchron on decision to return for 2026-27 season. “My heat is still hot. I still burn for this. I want another run at it. I want to chase it again.”

Senator Marsha Blackburn (R-TN) seen leaving DC around 6PM, just hours before the 2AM unanimous Senate vote on funding paychecks for TSA, FEMA, and Coast Guard workers. You can tell how guilty she is by how they try to stop it from being Filmed. Something needs to be done about those that give lip service and empty Promises!

@RayBanMannnn @TNTSportsUS

@TNTSportsUS Sampson was a dirty coach that shouldn't be in the NCAA. ILLINOIS FINALLY PAID HIM BACK FOR STEALING ERIC GORDON. HE GOT FIRED EVENTUALLY AT INDIANA. HE SHOULD NOT BEEN PERMITTED BACK TO COLLEGE BALL. HE CHEATED AT OKLAHOMA BEFORE INDIANA.

"I don't have to be their life, but they are my life." Kelvin Sampson talks on the importance of not taking a break to make sure his players are taken care of for the next step in their lives. ❤️

@the1not_the02 @diehardcoogs @SSN_UH Time for Sampson to step aside and let Kellen take over. It’s simply time

@IM4UH2 @diehardcoogs @SSN_UH Houston don’t recruit white players lol

Yall remember when I said this was a good team not a great team? And got called a stupid motherfucker from the seals? I remember

@diehardcoogs @SSN_UH Nothing keeps us from recruiting and signing same; Makes ya wonder why we don’t 🤷

@SSN_UH The fact a team has all Euro Pros is insane.

@SSN_UH Playin at home was a huge mistake for us; got too complacent

@ReformedWriter Just brutal: nerves ? 🤷 better wake up in the 2nd or these kolaches are gonna run away with it

What a fiasco of a first-half offensive performance by UH — and it’s down only two at halftime.

Astros manager Joe Espada has arrived
