I never say this, but in this case, Monday can’t get here soon enough.

Dear Haitians and @AOC and @BernieSanders : Can you answer this question for me? 👇

@PolitiBunny Who in VA do we need to help this gentleman? @jonesbrendanm

After I separated from the military, I continued to deploy as a contractor. Many don't realize that we often claim to have no boots on the ground in a given theater because we have no uniformed troops there. But we do. Their uniform is 5.11 cargo pants and black zip-up fleeces. I know. I was one of them. I didn't ask to stop deploying. I was forced into it. I got a bad neurological report. Spinocerebellar ataxia, type 14. Never heard of it, right? It's one of the rare ones. I think of it like a slow progressing ALS. It's characterized by a steadily deteriorating sense of balance and coordination. It makes things that used to be easy, difficult. It makes things that used to be difficult, impossible. It's not going to shorten my life, God willing, but it will make my later years look different than I had hoped. I obviously couldn't keep deploying. I did my final tour - one last hurrah to the same desert where I had earlier met Lucy. It was a much safer place this time. I made a point to stop by our old camp and visit the spot where I had once played with my dog when she was a sad faced pup in the desert. What I didn't know is that a short time later, I'd be out of a job, a casualty of Biden's vaccine mandate. As someone rendered non-deployable, nobody went to bat for me. In those uncertain times, they wanted to retain the people they could use as boots on the ground. So I was shown the door. It felt like Uncle Sam had spat in my face. At the same time, @Herb_Minstrel's music school closed on orders of the Virginia Health Department prohibiting in-person music lessons. In the blink of an eye, our family's source of income had disappeared. But Lucy remained a source of comfort. When I deployed, I felt better leaving my wife and kids knowing she was home to protect them. When I had to stop traveling, she kept my experiences alive; a living, breathing link to the past. D.C. once took away my livelihood. Richmond took away my wife's. Now, the county is trying to take away our dog. We can't let them. #SaveLucy

I have never done this. I most likely won't ever again. My youngest daughter-in- law is on life support in the hospital. Im not asking for money. I've more than enough. All I'm asking for are prayers. Because I believe that God is real, and he hears our prayers.

Stop sharing her photo? No. Her memory isn’t harmful, your failed policies & soft-on-crime judges are & got her killed. We won’t forget Iryna. We won’t stop posting.🤍🕊️

I just had the craziest experience at the airport. We are about to board a flight to Atlanta when the pilot from the incoming plane walks out of the jetway. Guy is probably late 50s, salt and pepper hair, military look. The kind of pilot you instantly feel good about seeing on your flight. Pilot walks over to the counter, gets on the PA system, and starts addressing everyone. “Folks, I’ve been doing this a long time. Flying one of these jets is easy. The hard part is looking at 130 people and telling them their flight is going to be delayed.” Audible groans throughout the boarding gate. Most people here are flying to Atlanta as a layover before another flight. 130 people just had their day become a complete mess. The pilot goes on. “I get it, trust me. But here’s the deal: During our landing, we had a small mechanical issue. I’m not your pilot for the next leg, but I don’t feel confident the jet’s safe to fly until we have a mechanical team look it over, and I don’t feel comfortable asking the next pilots to fly you guys until we get confirmation.” He points at the agents next to him behind the counter: “Now, none of this is the agents’ fault. Please be kind to them. I’m the one who made this decision, not them, so any inconvenience you experience is my fault. Just please know that I don’t do this lightly, and I’m only doing it because I believe it’s in the best interests of everyone’s safety.” Now this is where the story gets crazy. The pilot puts the microphone down, grabs his suitcase, and all the people in the gate… Start clapping. I’m not joking, everyone starts clapping for the guy. 130 people who just had their travel plans ruined give an ovation to the guy who made the decision and delivered the message. All because he addressed them with decency and transparency, took ownership of the decision, made it clear that it was necessary, and explained why it was in everyone’s best interest. It’s honestly one of the best examples of strong communication—of strong leadership, for that matter—that I’ve seen in a long time. @Delta, whoever your Atlanta to Wichita pilot was this morning, he’s one of the good ones. Please tell him the delayed passengers of flight 1637 appreciate what he did.

A waitress in a Concord restaurant told me last Sat. that she and her boyfriend could not find a job after college graduation. New Hampshire institutions typically award 40,000–47,000 degrees per year (associate’s, bachelor’s, and graduate combined) in recent years. I wonder how these students think about Optional Practical Training (OPT) — a U.S. program that allows international students on F-1 visas to work temporarily in the U.S. in a job directly related to their major/field of study. As of late 2025/early 2026 data, New Hampshire has roughly 8,000 international (foreign) students enrolled in higher education. 1,393 OPT participants from New Hampshire institutions (2024 data). There is one major financial incentive for employers hiring OPT (and STEM OPT) workers by the US immigration policy: -- exemption from FICA payroll taxes (Social Security and Medicare) for many participants. Primary Incentive: FICA Tax Savings (≈7.65% of wages) • FICA taxes normally total 15.3% of wages (7.65% paid by the employee + 7.65% paid by the employer: 6.2% Social Security + 1.45% Medicare). • Many F-1 students on OPT/STEM OPT (typically in their first 5 calendar years in F-1 status) are treated as nonresident aliens for tax purposes and are exempt from these taxes. As of the most recent data (academic year 2024/25), there were approximately 294,253 international students on Optional Practical Training (OPT) in the United States. This represents a 21% increase from the previous academic year. Trends • OPT numbers have more than doubled since the late 2000s and continue growing, driven heavily by STEM fields (especially from India and China). • OPT participants are included in overall international student counts even after graduation, which is why total “international students” often exceed 1.1–1.2 million. OPT is not fair to our American college graduates by offering financial incentives to hire foreign students. It also provides backdoor supplies to H-1B visas. It needs to be repealed. @USCIS @IRSnews @UofNH @dartmouth @PlymouthState @KeeneState_ @NewEngCollege

FIRST ON FOX: Democratic Maine Senate candidate Graham Platner's deleted Reddit account reveals graphic posts about masturbating in portable toilets and praising explicit military restroom graffiti — the latest in a growing trail of vulgar comments that could define his race against Susan Collins. Platner has dismissed past controversies as 'joking' and 's***posting,' but GOP strategists say the pattern raises fundamental questions about his judgment and fitness for office. He became Democrats' presumptive nominee after Gov. Janet Mills dropped out last month.

Continued 🙏🏼 please, and thank you so very much.

This is what the Islamic Republic did to 42k Iranians in less than 72 hours in January.

This is Rylee Montgomery. She was killed because she refused to have an abortion. When she found out she was pregnant, she told her boyfriend Michael Isiah Sanchez. Although her pregnancy was unplanned, Rylee Montgomery embraced the prospect of becoming a mother. "I’m going to keep my baby," she said. But Michael didn't want to be a responsible father. Instead, he demanded that Rylee get an abortion. Rylee refused. So, Michael shot and killed her. Michael has been arrested and faces seven felony charges in connection with the shooting, including two counts of first-degree murder and two counts of attempted murder in the deaths of Rylee Montgomery and her unborn baby. The death of Rylee Montgomery’s unborn child is also treated as a homicide, according to Arizona law. Because the baby is human being too and a second victim. You won't hear Planned Parenthood, Chelsea Handler or pro-abortion feminists talk about Rylee. All they care about is promoting abortion.

@dustinb429 @BudElliott3 @Cover3Podcast May 22nd looks to be a rough day.

@BudElliott3 @Cover3Podcast Always been a fan of these but feels way more necessary now with all the movement. Appreciate this content

This week in Summer School on the @Cover3Podcast Let's goooo

A must read about what’s happening in Georgia as Democrats embrace openly partisan campaigning for the nonpartisan judiciary in the state. wsj.com/opinion/democr…

I have the easiest solution for helping you identify RINOs in the upcoming elections. All issues are downstream of immigration. Once you truly see that, voting becomes ridiculously simple. Check their NumbersUSA immigration scorecard here: numbersusa.com/grades/ If your candidate doesn’t get an A, they’re probably part of the problem. And remember, in any topic where they say “no decision or no action”, that is to be taken as an endorsement of the issue. No decision is a decision. Simple test. Clear signal.

Keir Starmer does NOT want the World to see how badly British Patriots want their country back Would be a shame if it went viral on 𝕏

In April of 2021 horrible, racist graffiti was found in the stairwell at Albion College in Michigan. Sprawled on the walls were hateful messages like "KKK White Power" & "Die N*gger Please" Liberals country-wide cried outrage!! Albion students were enraged and student marches were quickly organized to fight this evil racism! (see below) This incident was part of a string of racist incidents that started the month prior. Albion College later identified the perpetrator as a single student, a Black male. And suddenly no one at Albion College cared about racism anymore. The marches ceased immediately, the perpetrator's name was never released, and it was swept right under the rug. What are the odds of that...

Nationwide fury erupts after a repeat violent thug with 60+ charges brutally murdered 21-year-old US Marine Daniel Montano. Mainstream media is burying this black-on-white crime. Jail woke judges who keep releasing these dangerous animals? A. Yes B. No
