Why is Facebook restricting what I can see and write and telling me that it’s because I am in Canada (I’m several hundred miles South in America.)?

Flashback: Two “anti-war” Scandinavian women — Louisa Jespersen and Maren Ueland — were beheaded by Arab Muslim jihadists in Morocco after refusing to convert to Islam. Their killers didn’t care that the women were anti-Islamophobia activists or that they had traveled alone into the Arab world to embrace the culture and prove how “open-minded” they were. None of that mattered. To the jihadists, they were infidels — nothing more. And for that, they were tortured, raped, and slaughtered. This is what happens when ideology blinds people to reality. On December 17, 2018, two young Scandinavian women, Louisa Vesterager Jespersen (24) from Denmark and Maren Ueland (28) from Norway, were raped, tortured, and beheaded by Islamic jihadists in Morocco. Their crime? Camping alone in the Atlas Mountains and not being Muslim. Louisa’s beheading was filmed by the monsters who did it — they sent the video to her mother. In it, she screams in her underwear as one of them saws through her neck, while others chant, “It’s Allah’s will.” These women were indoctrinated to believe Islam is a “religion of peace” and that fear is “Islamophobia.” The price they paid for that lie was their lives. This isn’t just a tragedy — it’s a warning. Silence makes it worse. Never forget Louisa and Maren. Never excuse the ideology that butchered them.

@mitchellvii Could a government in exile be established there?

Do people attacking Trump's war strategy in Iran realize that in World War II we used to firebomb city blocks of civilians just to take out a single factory?  President Trump has shown incredible restraint in Iran not bombing infrastructure so far. He's doing his best to find a peaceful solution to this conflict but his patience isn't going to last forever. But let's not dumb this down. The people that are leading this country are straight up crazy I think the next target is going to be Kharg Island that's the choke point. What do you think? What happens next? ⬇️

Israel has a right to defend itself against Iran and its proxies, who have been trying to destroy it for decades. The US can help its ally defend itself. Helping our ally is also in US interest. The same people who understood this with Ukraine fail to understand it now?

It’s easy to support you.

Never let your hatred of Trump let you side with China or the Iranian regime and its proxies.

@JohnCornyn 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!

🚨BREAKING🚨 After we published an unearthed video of Senator Cornyn promoting amnesty for illegal aliens, Cornyn’s team made the video private on YouTube. You can’t hide from your pro-amnesty record.

They look like they’ve never held a weapon before

Derek Chauvin was sentenced to decades in prison because a prisoner died of a fentanyl overdose in his custody. He was prosecuted to the fullest due to widespread public pressure. The same needs to happen here.

If you’d told me a few years ago this is where we’d be on Iran, I’d have said you were high: 1. Nuke program set back years. Enrichment and reprocessing gutted, weaponization sites destroyed, Fordow inoperable, Natanz in ruins, a generation of senior nuclear scientists eliminated. 2. Ballistic missile program crippled. Monthly production down from 100 to near zero. Roughly half the regime’s missiles and launchers destroyed. The IRGC Aerospace Force commander who ran the missile enterprise dead. 3. Air defenses devastated. American and Israeli airpower dominating Iranian skies, with strike aircraft operating over the country with near impunity. 4. Full economic warfare. Not just OFAC sanctions anymore, but military pressure layered on top: naval blockade, near-zero oil exports, choked imports, wrecked steel and petrochemical sectors, triple-digit inflation, and a currency that is effectively worthless. 5. Regime decapitation. Khamenei dead. Larijani dead. Hundreds of senior IRGC, intelligence, military, and Basij commanders dead including the IRGC commander-in-chief, the armed forces chief of staff, and the Aerospace Force commander. Mojtaba Khamenei inheriting a hollowed-out regime with no supreme authority and a gutted command structure. 6. The region turning on Tehran. Gulf states shutting down the sanctions-busting, money-laundering, and financial escape routes the regime has relied on for years. No Arab capital willing to throw Iran a lifeline. China and Russia providing limited support. 7. Proxy network shattered. Hezbollah and Hamas heavily degraded. Houthi political leadership taking direct Israeli strikes. The “Axis of Resistance” and “ring of fire” are now more slogans than real threats. 8. Syrian corridor severed. Assad is gone. The new government in Damascus is actively blocking Iranian arms transfers to Hezbollah: arresting smugglers and publicly declaring Syria will no longer serve as a transit corridor for Tehran’s terrorists. The land bridge to the Mediterranean that took decades to build is effectively closed. 9. Lebanon pivoting west. With Hezbollah battered and resupply choked, Israel and Lebanon have opened direct peace talks for the first time since 1983, aimed at a permanent agreement and Hezbollah’s disarmament. Beirut now asserting that the Lebanese armed forces alone are responsible for national defense. This is a direct repudiation of Hezbollah’s “resistance” claim. TBD. 10. Deterrence exposed as a bluff. Four direct attacks on Israel — April 2024, October 2024, June 2025, March 2026 — failed to impose strategic cost and instead triggered heavy retaliation. Iran couldn’t even use Syria as a launchpad. 11.Economy hollowed out from within. Power shortages, water crises, factory shutdowns, pension unrest, and mass protests. Nationwide demonstrations erupted in December 2025 after a year of economic freefall, with bazaaris, oil workers, and truckers, the regime’s traditional support base, joining strikes across all 31 provinces. Running out of oil storage space. Fuel shortages. The worst crisis since 1979. 12. Scientific and technical brain drain. Beyond the nuclear experts, Iran has lost a generation of irreplaceable expertise in missile design, centrifuge engineering, and weapons development. The survivors are harder to recruit and easier to deter. 13. Naval power decimated. The regular navy shattered, IRGC navy taking growing losses as CENTCOM moves to reopen Hormuz. And against all of this: the regime forced to play its Hormuz card at its weakest possible moment when the U.S. has options instead of when we didn’t: namely, Tehran with nuclear-armed ICBMs, 10,000 ballistic missiles, a Chinese- and Russian-built military, hundreds of thousands of attack drones, a fully operational terror network, and hundreds of billions of dollars to harden its economy. That’s the strategic picture. It’s extraordinary. Much more to do but I can’t comprehend how much has been achieved.

@realBrandonGill @SLund2217 Yes, this Senator Cornyn pro-amnesty ad is real. We found in on YouTube & it was several hours before Cornyn’s team made the video private. No amnesty!

@LeaderJohnThune 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!

As an Afghanistan veteran, I agree.

Here's some poll information that provides perspective: Gallup had Reagan's approval dropping to 35% in January 1983, with 56% disapproving.  Less than 1-year later, Reagan won 525 electoral votes (the most in US history) and 58.8% of the popular vote, carrying 49 states. I am not making predictions, which I rarely do.  Just saying, always fight like you're behind, because you may well be.  But don't govern based on the polls, especially this far away from an election, when they are fleeting.  Do the right thing and fight like hell.  President Trump clearly knows this.

BREAKING Senator Cornyn’s team forgot to take down a video supporting amnesty for illegal aliens on YouTube. This comes 1 day after exposing that Senator Cornyn hires staff that are pro-amnesty & anti-deportations. It would be a shame if every voter in Texas were to see this.

@bennyjohnson @JimDuncanson1 Massachusetts hasn’t had a Republican representative since 1993. Current district map has evolved significantly over the years and has contributed to the malaise.

Republican voters make up 40% of New England. Democrats control the district lines. Result: 🔴 — 0 🔵 — 27

President Trump is doing his best to bring peace to the Middle East and end this IRAN war. But I've said it several times, and I'll say it again. I think in order to gain some real leverage here, we're going to have to seize Kharg Island.
