I have instructed the relevant authorities that Cardinal Pierbattista Pizzaballa, the Latin Patriarch, be granted full and immediate access to the Church of the Holy Sepulchre in Jerusalem. Over the past several days, Iran has repeatedly targeted the holy sites of all three monotheistic religions in Jerusalem with ballistic missiles. In one strike, missile fragments crashed meters from the Church of the Holy Sepulchre. To protect worshippers, Israel asked members of all faiths to temporarily abstain from worshipping at the Christian, Muslim and Jewish holy sites in Jerusalem’s Old City. Today, out of special concern for his safety, Cardinal Pizzaballa was asked to refrain from holding mass at the Church of the Holy Sepulchre. Even though I understand this concern, as soon as I learned about the incident with Cardinal Pizzaballa, I instructed the authorities to enable the Patriarch to hold services as he wishes.

If people say you resemble a celebrity from the past, who is it? I’ll go first! 😁💕

Anarchists and Democrats have done millions of dollars in damage to federal buildings all over America. @GavinNewsom is worried about a helicopter.

If you haven’t heard, and even if you have, Jimmy Kimmel said this about Markwayne Mullin, former Senator from Oklahoma, and our newest Secretary of Homeland Security: “We have a plumber now protecting us from terrorism.” Apparently, there has been some backlash. Plumbers were offended, obviously, as were parents of plumbers, spouses of plumbers, children of plumbers, and millions of people who have had a plumber show up when they needed one. Comedians were also offended, (the funny ones, anyway,) along with a surprising number of terrorists - especially those with access to hot and cold running water. However, in spite of the ensuing kerfuffle, @jimmykimmel doubled down. “I’m not upset that the head of Homeland Security was a plumber,” he said, “I’m upset that he isn’t still a plumber." He further elucidated by adding, "I wouldn't put a plumber in charge of Homeland Security for the same reason I wouldn't call a five-star general to pull a rat out of my toilet, OK? We all have our areas of expertise.” Being offended is always a choice, and I don’t choose to be offended by a joke, even one that comes at the expense of the skilled tradespeople my foundation tries to elevate. But I am a tad butt hurt by the suggestion that skilled workers should never evolve into something new, and that competence is somehow limited to one vocation. Obviously, expertise and skill are important. If I need a new kidney, I’d prefer a doctor do the surgery, not a late-night talk show host. But if the doctor in question used to host a talk show, why would I hold that against him? Ten years ago, during one of the presidential debates, @MarcoRubio answered a workforce-related question by arguing that America needed to get shop class back into high schools. He concluded by saying, “What our country needs are more welders and fewer philosophers.” A lot of people on this page commented that Rubio and I were singing from the same hymnal, but in fact, we weren’t. At least not entirely. Because I don’t think the current shortage of welders has anything to do with an overabundance of philosophers. In fact, I think it’s a mistake to promote one vocation at the expense of the other. What we really need in this country, are more welders who can talk intelligently about Aristotle, and more philosophers who can run an even bead. More Generals, in other words, who can fix their own toilets, and more plumbers who can hold a powerful government job. This is what Mullin did. He was a private citizen who mastered an essential skill and then turned that skill into a multi-million-dollar company that employed a lot of people and served a lot of customers. That gave him the freedom to do other things with his life, including a career in public service which got him into Congress, where he’s spent the last eleven years doing whatever Congressmen do. Now, he has a very consequential position in the Cabinet of the current administration. Is that not the embodiment of the American Dream? I get that Jimmy Kimmel might have a problem with Mullin’s politics, but what possible objection could he have about the trajectory of his career, or his desire to do more than one thing with his life? The only sensible thing to do in the wake of a moment this tone deaf, is remind America that the skills gap is wide, and getting wider. The shortage of skilled tradespeople is now headline news and closing it is nothing less than a matter of national security. This year, my foundation has set aside $10 million dollars to help train the next generation of plumbers, and lots of other essential workers. I'm talking about hundreds of thousands of AI-proof, six figure jobs that don't require a four-year degree, waiting to be filled. The money is currently available to anyone who wants to master a useful skill at mikeroweworks.org. Apply today. As for those of you genuinely offended by Kimmel's comments, consider expressing your disappointment with a modest donation to mikeroweWORKS. Our work ethic scholarship is making a real difference, and your money will be well spent, I promise. The donate button is big and red and hard to miss, at mikeroweworks.org I’d love to chat but I’ve gotta pull a rat out of my toilet…

We will never have, by every good metric imaginable, a President as great as Donald Trump. He has literally been one man in the storm, turning back a tsunami of graft, corruption, and sloth in Washington and beyond. He is a gladiator, a truly unstoppable force of nature.

People who have left California are receiving letters telling them that they still need to pay California state taxes. They want them to PROVE the day they left. My gosh, if this doesn't show how broke California is I don't know what will.

@Rachelle_Hulme @Addyspectre1 @m_jones_1797 @dommedebbiexx You're such a pleasant and refreshing, lady.

Summer time you say? 💦

Brian Johnson's reaction to seeing River Plate freak out to "Highway to Hell" 🤘🏻

Hypocrisy in full view

Unbelievable video filmed by a resident from Tehran shows the reality of life under Israeli/US strikes

Tel Aviv is breathtaking. They want to take it away from us. They will never succeed.

This video says it all. It also explains why John Thune’s scuttling of the SAVE America Act is the most treacherous gambit since RussiaGate. We citizens will lose our nation in the midterms, and we will never get her back.

I’m seeing some friends taking potshots at @LauraLoomer. Don’t. Just stop. We’re heading into the midterms, and not only is she solidly pro-Trump, but her “scoops” often turn out to be correct. If you don’t like her, fine — that’s one thing. But if you’re taking shots at her just to build followers or chase clicks, that makes you just as bad as the grifters she’s calling out.

What happens when you let Sean Connery play jeopardy? Pure comedic genius 🤣🤣🤣

@YoAdrienne1968 I would love to get near that POS Jimmy Shimmel...I'd bite his face. 👍

Two douchebags walk into a bar…

@Fabiodact please just talk to me...tell me what happened...and I'll leave you in peace...it's just not fair to run away and not say why you ran.

@EricLDaugh Excellent, job LAPD! Thump some commie, scumbag, skull! 👍

🚨 LMFAO! No Kings leftist protestor gets KICKED to the ground by an LAPD horse, after he tried to block them with his body FAFO! What did he think was going to happen 😂 They aren't sending their brightest 🤡

@catturd2 Paid Soros protesters. 👎

No Kings is over. And again, it accomplished nothing.
