Say no to HB 5044. Healthcare isn't one size fits all, and medical decisions need to be customized and personal.

🚨ATTN: @Pontifex

Adam Schiff and his Democrat colleagues now dismiss Iran as a threat after spending decades saying the exact opposite. They might have amnesia, but I have Google. You can oppose a military operation. We have free speech. That’s your right. But I’m going to call out the hypocrisy when you suddenly change your tune. Just a reminder: Adam Schiff (2018): “The greatest threat posed by Iran is the possibility that it could become a nuclear-armed state.” Adam Schiff (2018): “Iran is a dangerous and destructive actor…” Barack Obama (2009): “Iran is a genuine threat to U.S. national security.” Barack Obama (2008): “Iran is a great threat.” Barack Obama (2008): “A nuclear Iran would pose a grave threat…” Barack Obama (2016): “A nuclear-armed Iran would have constituted an unacceptable threat to our national security…” @foxnewsnight @tracegallagher @briannalyman2

The notion that ballots can be received and counted days — and even weeks — after Election Day has always been absurd. What began as a justified exception for military members serving overseas has morphed into a process in some states that has made a mockery of transparent elections.

I'm a practicing Catholic. And I need to say something that's going to make a lot of people uncomfortable. Nigeria. The Sahel. India. Syria. Bangladesh. Pakistan. Hundreds of Christians have been murdered this year alone. Churches burned to the ground. Pastors kidnapped and killed. Communities that have practiced their faith for centuries are being wiped out. Pope Leo XIV has said almost nothing. No named condemnations. No emergency visits. No breaking of protocol. Just quiet platitudes about dialogue and peace — directed at nobody in particular. But the week Trump escalated the Iran war? Leo flew across continents, gave media interviews, posted viral messages, and had three American Cardinals appear on 60 Minutes in what felt like a coordinated response. Bishop Strickland was removed for defending Church doctrine. Bishop Fernández in Puerto Rico was removed for defending religious exemptions that the Catechism itself supports. During COVID, governments padlocked churches across the world — the Vatican said nothing publicly. Joe Biden received communion for four years while publicly funding abortion policy — the Vatican said nothing. But Trump calls Leo "weak" — and suddenly the institutional Church finds its voice. I'm not defending Trump's tone. Trump talks like Trump. Water is wet. I'm asking why my Church saves its loudest moments for American politics — and its quietest moments for the people actually dying for the faith. That question deserves an honest answer. Do you think the Pope should speak louder about Christian persecution worldwide? YES or NO? 👇

So the public benefits charges on our utility bills weren't enough CT?!?! Now we're enacting them on phone lines too??? @SecScottBessent

𝐕𝐃𝐇: 𝐈𝐑𝐀𝐍 𝐉𝐔𝐒𝐓 𝐋𝐎𝐒𝐓 𝐀 𝐇𝐀𝐋𝐅 𝐓𝐑𝐈𝐋𝐋𝐈𝐎𝐍 𝐃𝐎𝐋𝐋𝐀𝐑𝐒 𝐀𝐍𝐃 𝐈𝐓𝐒 𝐄𝐍𝐓𝐈𝐑𝐄 𝐌𝐈𝐋𝐈𝐓𝐀𝐑𝐘. 𝐓𝐇𝐄 𝐌𝐄𝐃𝐈𝐀 𝐖𝐎𝐍'𝐓 𝐓𝐄𝐋𝐋 𝐘𝐎𝐔. Victor Davis Hanson just did what no one in legacy media will do. He looked at the Iran war empirically. The verdict isn't close. Iran — 𝟗𝟑 𝐦𝐢𝐥𝐥𝐢𝐨𝐧 𝐩𝐞𝐨𝐩𝐥𝐞, the largest military power in the Middle East by every measure, feared by the Gulf monarchies and Europeans alike — has just suffered one of the most lopsided asymmetric defeats in modern history. Hanson: "𝘐𝘵'𝘴 𝘷𝘦𝘳𝘺 𝘶𝘯𝘶𝘴𝘶𝘢𝘭 𝘵𝘩𝘢𝘵 𝘰𝘯𝘦 𝘴𝘪𝘥𝘦 𝘩𝘢𝘴 𝘣𝘦𝘦𝘯 𝘴𝘰 𝘷𝘪𝘤𝘵𝘰𝘳𝘪𝘰𝘶𝘴 𝘪𝘯 𝘢𝘯 𝘢𝘴𝘺𝘮𝘮𝘦𝘵𝘳𝘪𝘤 𝘸𝘢𝘳, 𝘦𝘴𝘱𝘦𝘤𝘪𝘢𝘭𝘭𝘺 𝘢𝘨𝘢𝘪𝘯𝘴𝘵 𝘵𝘩𝘦 𝘴𝘵𝘳𝘰𝘯𝘨𝘦𝘴𝘵 𝘱𝘰𝘸𝘦𝘳 𝘪𝘯 𝘵𝘩𝘦 𝘔𝘪𝘥𝘥𝘭𝘦 𝘌𝘢𝘴𝘵." The scorecard: Iran has lost 𝐡𝐮𝐧𝐝𝐫𝐞𝐝𝐬 𝐨𝐟 𝐛𝐢𝐥𝐥𝐢𝐨𝐧𝐬 — possibly 𝐡𝐚𝐥𝐟 𝐚 𝐭𝐫𝐢𝐥𝐥𝐢𝐨𝐧 𝐝𝐨𝐥𝐥𝐚𝐫𝐬 — in a half-century of investment in missiles, drones, submarines, and capital ships. Gone. Their command and control is "𝘥𝘰𝘸𝘯 𝘵𝘰 𝘵𝘩𝘦 𝘴𝘦𝘤𝘰𝘯𝘥 𝘢𝘯𝘥 𝘵𝘩𝘪𝘳𝘥 𝘵𝘪𝘦𝘳." Nobody — not the theocracy, not the IRGC, not the political class, not the army — knows who's actually in charge. They're afraid of each other. They're afraid to look soft. And they're afraid that cutting a deal means "𝘸𝘦'𝘳𝘦 𝘢𝘭𝘭 𝘨𝘰𝘪𝘯𝘨 𝘵𝘰 𝘣𝘦 𝘥𝘦𝘢𝘥 𝘧𝘰𝘳 𝘸𝘩𝘢𝘵 𝘸𝘦'𝘷𝘦 𝘥𝘰𝘯𝘦." Meanwhile, the American left spent one day calling Trump a warmonger and a "𝘏𝘪𝘵𝘭𝘦𝘳𝘪𝘢𝘯 𝘧𝘪𝘨𝘶𝘳𝘦." The next day, after he announced negotiations, they called him a "𝘵𝘢𝘤𝘰" — a Neville Chamberlain, a Jimmy Carter. Hanson nailed the pathology. They don't analyze the war empirically. They analyze it politically. In his words, Tom Friedman and Bill Kristol "𝘢𝘭𝘮𝘰𝘴𝘵 𝘧𝘦𝘦𝘭 𝘵𝘩𝘢𝘵 𝘢𝘯𝘺𝘵𝘩𝘪𝘯𝘨 𝘵𝘩𝘢𝘵 𝘩𝘢𝘱𝘱𝘦𝘯𝘴 𝘯𝘦𝘨𝘢𝘵𝘪𝘷𝘦𝘭𝘺 𝘪𝘯 𝘐𝘳𝘢𝘯 𝘮𝘪𝘨𝘩𝘵 𝘣𝘦 𝘱𝘰𝘴𝘪𝘵𝘪𝘷𝘦 𝘣𝘦𝘤𝘢𝘶𝘴𝘦 𝘪𝘵 𝘸𝘰𝘶𝘭𝘥 𝘩𝘶𝘳𝘵 𝘋𝘰𝘯𝘢𝘭𝘥 𝘛𝘳𝘶𝘮𝘱." 𝟏𝟎𝟎,𝟎𝟎𝟎 𝐀𝐦𝐞𝐫𝐢𝐜𝐚𝐧 𝐬𝐨𝐥𝐝𝐢𝐞𝐫𝐬 are in that theater right now. Risking their lives to make sure Iran never puts a nuclear-tipped missile on Tel Aviv, London, or eventually Chicago. And half the political class is 𝐫𝐨𝐨𝐭𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐚𝐠𝐚𝐢𝐧𝐬𝐭 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐦𝐢𝐬𝐬𝐢𝐨𝐧 because of who's in the Oval Office. Read that again. And the losers don't stop at Tehran. 𝐑𝐮𝐬𝐬𝐢𝐚: no more Venezuela. No more Latin America. No more Middle East. Assad is gone. The drone pipeline with Iran is severed. Bogged down in Ukraine, bleeding over a million and a half casualties. 𝐂𝐡𝐢𝐧𝐚: took 80 percent of all Iranian oil. That pipeline is now contingent on the United States. And Beijing just watched America broadcast to the world that it's about to mass-produce a half-million to a million drones. Any fantasy of crossing 110 nautical miles to take Taiwan just got a lot more expensive. 𝐄𝐮𝐫𝐨𝐩𝐞, in Hanson's words, is "𝘢 𝘣𝘪𝘨 𝘭𝘰𝘴𝘦𝘳." We asked them for bases and airspace. That was it. Spain closed its embassy in Israel — "𝘧𝘰𝘳 𝘢𝘭𝘭 𝘱𝘳𝘢𝘤𝘵𝘪𝘤𝘢𝘭 𝘱𝘶𝘳𝘱𝘰𝘴𝘦𝘴, 𝘚𝘱𝘢𝘪𝘯 𝘪𝘴 𝘢 𝘣𝘦𝘭𝘭𝘪𝘨𝘦𝘳𝘦𝘯𝘵." France wouldn't let us use its airpower or clean up H-z-b in Lebanon, its own post-colonial responsibility. Italy wouldn't let our bombers land in Sicily. The United Kingdom — the nation that built the Royal Navy — "𝘤𝘢𝘯'𝘵 𝘦𝘷𝘦𝘯 𝘴𝘦𝘯𝘥 𝘰𝘯𝘦 𝘥𝘦𝘴𝘵𝘳𝘰𝘺𝘦𝘳" to protect its own base in Cyprus. Turkey, a NATO member, is openly siding with Iran and threatening a NATO partner, Israel. Hanson's verdict: "𝘺𝘰𝘶 𝘤𝘢𝘯 𝘴𝘦𝘦 𝘵𝘩𝘦 𝘱𝘳𝘰𝘣𝘭𝘦𝘮 𝘸𝘪𝘵𝘩 𝘕𝘈𝘛𝘖, 𝘯𝘢𝘮𝘦 𝘰𝘯𝘭𝘺." Going forward, the United States will pick and choose which NATO members are actually worth the alliance. The rest are "𝘦𝘪𝘵𝘩𝘦𝘳 𝘯𝘦𝘶𝘵𝘳𝘢𝘭 𝘰𝘳 𝘩𝘰𝘴𝘵𝘪𝘭𝘦." And the Strait of Hormuz? The left spent two weeks shrieking that closure would end the world. Reality: it carries 𝟐𝟎 𝐩𝐞𝐫𝐜𝐞𝐧𝐭 of world oil, 𝐧𝐨𝐭 𝟖𝟎. The Saudis are expanding their Red Sea pipeline. The Emirates are expanding theirs. A pipeline across the desert through Jordan to Haifa is on the table. Within a few years, the Gulf "𝘮𝘪𝘨𝘩𝘵 𝘰𝘯𝘭𝘺 𝘴𝘦𝘳𝘷𝘦 𝘐𝘳𝘢𝘯." Their leverage becomes their liability. If the war ends in two or three weeks, Hanson estimates seven months to economic recovery. Then comes the realization. Iran is not threatening the Middle East. Iran has no ballistic missile threat. Iran has no immediate path to a nuclear weapon. Iran has no military. Its command and control is wiped out. Its population is stewing. "𝘛𝘩𝘪𝘴 𝘤𝘰𝘶𝘭𝘥 𝘣𝘦 𝘭𝘪𝘬𝘦 𝘵𝘩𝘦 𝘧𝘢𝘭𝘭 𝘰𝘧 𝘵𝘩𝘦 𝘉𝘦𝘳𝘭𝘪𝘯 𝘞𝘢𝘭𝘭." Not the next day. Not the next month. But within months — or within two years, like the Soviet Union — regime change. This war was fought on Western American terms. No Fallujah. No house-to-house in Taji. No villages in Afghanistan where you can't tell friend from enemy. The asymmetry — by design — was total. The 24-hour news cycle will keep shrieking. The Democrat-media borg will keep cycling through whichever narrative hurts Trump most that morning. But the map has already been redrawn. 𝐑𝐮𝐬𝐬𝐢𝐚 𝐢𝐬 𝐜𝐨𝐧𝐭𝐚𝐢𝐧𝐞𝐝. 𝐂𝐡𝐢𝐧𝐚 𝐢𝐬 𝐡𝐮𝐦𝐛𝐥𝐞𝐝. 𝐄𝐮𝐫𝐨𝐩𝐞 𝐢𝐬 𝐞𝐱𝐩𝐨𝐬𝐞𝐝. 𝐈𝐫𝐚𝐧 𝐢𝐬 𝐡𝐨𝐥𝐥𝐨𝐰. 𝐓𝐡𝐞 𝐚𝐝𝐮𝐥𝐭𝐬 𝐭𝐨𝐨𝐤 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐜𝐨𝐮𝐧𝐭𝐫𝐲 𝐛𝐚𝐜𝐤. 𝐓𝐡𝐞 𝐫𝐞𝐬𝐮𝐥𝐭𝐬 𝐬𝐩𝐞𝐚𝐤 𝐟𝐨𝐫 𝐭𝐡𝐞𝐦𝐬𝐞𝐥𝐯𝐞𝐬.

Catholics. Buckle up. We're next psy op. Pope bashes Trump over Iran. Trump posts meme. 3 bishops on 60 minutes bash Trump. Biden gave tons of $ to catholic charities to help resettle illegals. Border is now closed, no new illegals. Trumps cuts $ off to CC, saves us $. Trump bad.

@mtracey Here's a reply from a student who attended: x.com/TheRightMeliss… As she points out, her husband was publicly executed. Perhaps she's human and when threats get too high...she becomes afraid and doesn't want her children orphaned?!

How is it that Erika Kirk had to cancel her appearance with JD Vance at the University of Georgia last night because of "security threats," but those "threats" were not severe enough to prevent the Vice President of the United States from attending?

Just In 🚨: Gen Z attendee of the TPUSA event at UGA has released this video debunking the claim that the event had empty seats due to “lack of ticket sales” She says those seats were blocked off on purpose for security reasons & says she knows several students who wanted to be there but were told the event was at capacity. She also states Erika did have legitimate reason to be fearful given an incident that happened with a belligerent “protestor” at the last even in DC.

🚨 UPDATE: Pope Leo is facing mass criticism after he said Muslims migrants should be allowed to stay in Europe and coexist with Christians "I know in Europe there are many times fears generated by people who are against immigration and trying to keep out people who may be from another country, another religion, another race." "And in that sense I would say that we all need to work together." MUSLIMS AREN'T WORKING TOGETHER with us! They're R*PING, pillaging! And in Nigeria, slaughtering Christians.

@sagesteele Our taxpayer dollars are going up in smoke in Democrat run states and cities. CT is also a mess. Yet all people can do is complain about Trump here and ignore what our state elected leaders are doing with our hard earned money.

Sick. She is sick. Boston - do better.

@AmericaRpts @sheilanazarian @SandraSmithFox Will you cover this @megynkelly about public executions in Iran? Will you cover how women were treated in Iran before 1979 vs after? Will you set aside Trump for a minute, and pay attention to women's suffering there?

“The regime uses public executions as a way to intimidate and traumatize the people,” Dr. Sheila Nazarian reacts to the execution of the first female anti-regime protester in Iran.

The Left wants you to believe Trump is retaliating against Catholic NGOs. The reality is he cancelled the program because the border is secure. Why send $11 million to a program that has no need? Unless they just want to continue to launder money.

Because the Democrat party is utterly soulless, bereft of principles, obsessed with power- and completely full of shit when it comes to "caring about women. " This isn't hard to answer.

Here it is: The United States government, under the single greatest criminal organization in American history: Over $100 billion in taxpayer money was extorted and funneled to left-wing corporations to build bridges to nowhere during the last 76 days of the Biden–Harris terrorist administration, while the same program allocated only $40 million over the previous 15 years. Every single member of Biden’s Cabinet, including his White House staff, should be placed on the FBI Most Wanted list and taken into custody to face charges of bribery, fraud, abuse of power, extortion, racketeering, money laundering, and conspiracy to defraud the United States government and the American people.

🚨 NOW — SECWAR PETE HEGSETH: "Our press are just like these Pharisees." "The Pharisees scrutinized every good act in order to find a violation. Only looking for the negative, the hardened hearts of our press are calibrated only to impugn." "Not all of you, not all of you, but the legacy Trump hating press, your politically motivated animus for President Trump nearly completely blinds you from the brilliance of our American warriors." "I would ask you to open your eyes to the goodness, the historic success of our troops, the courage of this president, and this historic moment for a deal that could end the Iranian nuclear threat." "The incredible battlefield victory laid before your eyes." "The not one, but two incredible rescue missions, miracles you might say, or a locked in blockade, or how about historic recruiting numbers yesterday?" "We announced that the air force and the space force met new higher goals in FY 26, five months in advance of the end of the fiscal year, five, five months ahead of time, the Marine Corps and the army will soon do the same two, three years ago, we couldn't meet lower recruiting numbers, not even close." "Where are the reports on that? Where's the coverage of the new spirit in the country, the new spirit in the ranks, the surge of Americans wanting to join the greatest military in the world." "Nothing from the fake news. We sense a pattern."

You are such a despicable liar. The grant was cancelled two weeks ago-- before President Trump's post about the Pope. And it was cancelled because the border is now secure and unaccompanied children aren't being trafficked into our country anymore.

If we had a functioning media, David Axelrod would have reporters waiting outside his house to ask him what he and the Pope discussed.

Florida couldn't get better advertising if if paid billions

Every time New York, California and Illinois raise taxes more wealthy people — the ones actually paying the taxes — leave for Tennessee, Texas and Florida, making those red state tax bases stronger and weakening the blue state tax bases. Huge transformation under way here.
