Ilhan Omar. Shri Thanedar. Pramila Jayapal. All born in foreign countries, none were citizens by birth. All sitting in the United States Congress. All making clear every single day their loyalty is not to America.
We just introduced a long overdue joint resolution proposing a constitutional amendment to require Members of Congress, federal judges, and Senate-confirmed officers to be natural born citizens. This is the very same standard the President and Vice President are already required to meet.
The people writing America's laws, confirming America's judges, and representing America on the world stage should have one loyalty: America. Not any other country.
For too long we have allowed foreign born members to hold seats in this government while making clear they are America last, not America first. We see it every day. This constitutional amendment will put an end to it.

@jessibridges @HansFiene I’m going to be sad if he doesn’t get elected… and I live in Ohio.

@HansFiene Every attack they sling at him, he turns it into a campaign ad and it's incredibly effective and entertaining. I'm going to be sad when the election is over because I've really enjoyed his campaign. Can't say that about any other politician ever.

I've never seen anyone as good at anything as he is at this

Now this is a story all about how my life got flipped, turned upside down

A wonderful read from a few angles.

Beethoven could not hear the music he wrote. At the age of 28, he realized he was no longer able to listen to a flute being played in the distance, and he spent the rest of his life composing the most enduring music in Western history in almost complete silence... He had been a working musician since childhood. His ears were everything. In 1798, in the middle of a heated argument with a singer, he noticed for the first time that something was wrong. The sound was thinning at the edges. He could hear voices, but high frequencies were beginning to disappear. He told no one for years. By 1802, the truth was no longer deniable. On his doctor's advice he moved to Heiligenstadt, a quiet village outside Vienna, hoping the country air would help. It did not. There, alone and surrounded by farmland, he wrote a letter to his two brothers that he never sent. It was found among his papers after his death. We now call it the Heiligenstadt Testament, and it is one of the most devastating documents ever written by an artist about himself: "You men who think or say that I am malevolent, stubborn or misanthropic, how greatly do you wrong me. You do not know the cause of my seeming so... what a humiliation, when one stood beside me and heard a flute in the distance and I heard nothing, or someone heard the shepherd singing, and again I heard nothing." He wrote, in the same letter, that he had thought of ending his life. And then he wrote the line that explains everything that followed: "Only my art held me back. It seemed impossible to me to leave the world before I had produced everything I felt called upon to produce." He went back to Vienna. He went on composing. Over the next two decades his hearing continued to fade. Friends began writing their words down in small notebooks instead of speaking them aloud, and waiting while he read. Modern scholars call these the conversation books. Around four hundred of them survive. To compose, he developed his own methods. He bit one end of a wooden rod and pressed the other against the soundboard of his piano, letting the vibrations travel through his jaw to his inner ear. He had stumbled, through trial and error, onto the principle that modern science calls bone conduction. The cause of his deafness has never been settled. What we do know is this: he realized he was losing his hearing at twenty-eight, and he could have stopped. He wrote the letter, he held the thought of dying in his hand, and then he put down the pen and went back to work. Most of what he is remembered for was composed after that moment: The Fifth Symphony. The Seventh. The Ninth. The Missa Solemnis. The late quartets. All of it was made by a man who could no longer hear most of what he was writing. There are people who give the world what they receive, and there are people who give the world what they were never able to receive. The most enduring beauty in human history has almost always come from the second kind... -- -- -- If you enjoyed this, I write a weekly newsletter read by over 50,000 people who love rediscovering the beauty of the past.

@Mkknjg11 @HansFiene That is a hard one. My daughter in-law was diagnosed with it several years ago. Learning how to live with & manage things will improve the situation. A prayer for her tonight.

@HansFiene Wife has been incredibly ill for about 2 months. Diagnosed with Potts syndrome.

Too sick to be productive but not sick enough to do nothing. Tell me what's grieving you and I'll tell you how to fix it.

Weather Wonder: May 13,2026
MYTH 1: Highway and interstate overpasses are safe shelters against a tornado.
FACT 1: Overpasses can concentrate the tornado winds, causing them to be significantly stronger. This places the people under them in an even more dangerous situation. In recent years, several people seeking shelter beneath overpasses have been killed or severely injured. Being above ground level during a tornado is dangerous.
MYTH 2: Large and heavy vehicles, such as SUVs and pickups, are safe to drive through flood waters.
FACT 2: It is a common belief that the larger the vehicle, the deeper the water it can drive through. Many people do not realize that two feet of water can float most vehicles, including SUVs and pickups. If the water is moving rapidly, vehicles can be swept away.
MYTH 3: Thunderstorms and tornadoes always move from west to east.
FACT 3: More often than not, thunderstorms move from west to east. Conditions in the atmosphere dictate how and where storms will move, and it can be in any direction. Tornadoes have been known to act erratic, and can change directions and speed very quickly. Never try to outrun a tornado in a vehicle.

Friends, Christ Church Exeter has been a voice for Biblical truth in that city for generations. Now it needs to buy its building or it will be sold and probably turned into flats. Can you spare just a few $$ or ££ to help these faithful brothers and sisters in Christ?

@Brown27070Jeff @scottwestacre @clutterbugg57 Not sure why, but your post strikes me as funny, must be the visualization😄
English
@scottwestacre @clutterbugg57 I use my left over lick tubs to water the cows mainly because my cows would climb into a large water tank and use it as a toilet. Sometimes they aim and actually crap inside a lick tub, but not too often.
English
Calves drink a lot of water vs just milk. We try to run full tanks or smaller tanks that they can get access to water. Helps take pressure off cow as the calf isn’t looking for a drink but rather a meal. Good sign here

As a former Air Force Intelligence career officer, I’m uniquely qualified to lead as Ohio’s next Secretary of State.
Before you make your choice in tomorrow’s May 5th election day Republican primary I would appreciate if you would listen to the interview below. Thank you

@still_hustling if it wasn’t for my grandkids being in Cincinnati, I’d be going to Florida.

Once the Democrat machine takes hold on your city, it’s cooked. This is also happening in Cincinnati under a 100% democrat monopoly. The only recourse you have is to leave. You have to starve the communist of your tax dollars.

Chicago Public Schools is bussing kids to protest. If we're not careful we will lose our country. The students are telling me that their teachers tell them "F*ck Trump." The indoctrination in this country is not a conspiracy, it is a fact. Chicago politicians say diversity is our strength but Chicago only has democrats on their city council, as governor, and as mayor. Diversity but not in political ideas.

I believe in the power of prayer. Please join me in praying for Maddox. Dear Jesus, please heal him and help his family get through this difficult time 🙏✝️🙏
Last night Maddox Graser had two hits and helped his Wooster High School baseball team win 10 to 0.
He was perfectly fine.
By 8 pm he was throwing up at home. It got worse fast. He was rushed to the hospital in Wooster and then life flighted to the Pediatric ICU at Akron Children’s Hospital this morning.
Maddox is a sophomore. A second baseman. A teammate. A son.
Right now he has no brain activity.
From a baseball field celebrating a win to a pediatric ICU fighting for his life in less than twelve hours. His family never saw this coming. Nobody did.
His mom and dad are sitting in that hospital right now needing every prayer they can get.
If you believe in miracles please stop scrolling right now and say one for Maddox. His family is pleading for them.
Please share this post. The wider this reaches the more people are praying over this young man tonight.
Maddox Graser. Remember that name and lift it up.

@RevMattRichard The same holds true for lay people. I converted to Lutheranism, LCMS, after being part of a Vineyard church.
English
"If an LCMS pastor was in the Charismatic and/or Pentecostal churches BEFORE becoming an LCMS pastor OR if an LCMS pastor is in close relationship with an LCMS pastor who was Charismatic/Pentecostal, he knows and recognizes the dangers of popular contemporary worship, especially Bethel and Elevation.
If a pastor is lifelong Lutheran, born and raised with no experience in the Charismatic or Pentecostal movements and/or doesn't have a strong relationship with an LCMS pastor from these movements, that LCMS pastor tends to minimize or dismiss the dangers.
To summarize, a Charismatic church background and experience help explain why many non-lifelong LCMS pastors are against contemporary worship. Simply put, if you haven't been in it, you tend not to understand.
Trust those who've been in it and are warning the rest of us."

No foreign-born person should be able to hold elected federal office or be a judge. If the President has to be a natural-born American citizen, that requirement ought to extend to all other elected offices at the federal level, as well as for judges. No dual citizenship either.

The court determined the death was a preventable tragedy stemming from unsafe home conditions and known risks.

🚨 VIRGINIA JUST SOLD OUT THE ELECTORAL COLLEGE — AND YOUR VOTE.
HB 965 is now law. Signed April 13, 2026. Virginia’s 13 electoral votes no longer belong to Virginians.
Instead of awarding them to the candidate who actually wins the state — like we’ve done for over 200 years — they’ll now go to whoever racks up the most raw popular votes from California, New York, and every other corner of the country.
Your voice in a battleground state? Officially diluted. This isn’t “reform.” This is the National Popular Vote Interstate Compact sneaking through the back door — a handful of blue states banding together to rewrite the Constitution without ever amending it.
They’re bypassing Article V, dodging the Compact Clause, and treating the Electoral College like an outdated suggestion instead of the genius federalist safeguard the Founders designed to protect smaller states from being steamrolled by coastal mega-populations.
Virginia just handed the keys to the presidency to whoever wins the national headcount — even if they lose Virginia by 10 points. This is raw power politics masquerading as “democracy.”
Once they hit 270 electoral votes, the game changes forever. No more battlegrounds. No more candidates caring about flyover country. Just pure majority rule by the most densely populated areas. The Founders rejected this exact idea at the Constitutional Convention for a reason. Now activist legislators are doing it anyway.
