Joanna Johnson, the World's Greatest Teacher, gives insights into teaching today's teens.
I'm amazed at her ability to articulate a stream of consciousness, like she does here.
@msrasberi@FLOTUS You seem like a very angry, hateful person. Melania also has the 1st amendment, you little hypocrite.
Just chill. You’d enjoy life more.
@FLOTUS Hypocrisy
Everyday we live through Trump attacking Patriots
Attacking Democrats as if our fellow Americans are our enemy.
I dont know what Kimmel said but he has the 1st Amendment
This isn't Israel.
Kimmel’s hateful and violent rhetoric is intended to divide our country. His monologue about my family isn’t comedy- his words are corrosive and deepens the political sickness within America.
People like Kimmel shouldn’t have the opportunity to enter our homes each evening to spread hate.
A coward, Kimmel hides behind ABC because he knows the network will keep running cover to protect him.
Enough is enough. It is time for ABC to take a stand. How many times will ABC’s leadership enable Kimmel’s atrocious behavior at the expense of our community.
Oh look Trump Deranged Pope Leo XIV was finally forced to condemn Iran for killing tens of thousands of peaceful protesters!
Make no mistake! This would have never happened had it not been for the huge amount of pushback he received from Trump supporters in America!
@Matt_Pinner I believe those are window sashes. I've had several, none like that but th shape is similar, usually cast iron and heavy. Actual use I am not positive but I think they counterweighted windows to keep them open.
Nope, not ornaments. My friend is going through the house where her grandma and aunt lived their whole lives and finding weird stuff. Apparently these are solid and very heavy; too heavy to hang on a tree. What are they
SENATOR Durbin warns that if the SAVE AMERICA ACT passes, it would require Proof of Citizenship to vote effectively removing millions of voters from the rolls.
Would you vote to pass the SAVE AMERICA ACT?
A. YES
B. No
@GenFlynn As a Catholic, I believe the pope allowing a Muslim prayer room in the Vatican is a very dangerous path to go down. Way more so than a tiff with our President, which the pope has no business being in politics to begin with.
This was at a prominent Catholic Church in Florida today. This type of information warfare against “MAGA”, against President Trump, is just beginning. It is dangerous, it is very political, it is fifth generational, and most definitely, it is spiritual warfare.
There are approximately 1.4B Catholics worldwide. The largest Christian denomination in the world. Fact is, without the Catholic vote, one cannot be @POTUS .
This Pope is consciously choosing political sides. He is emerging as a woke globalist instead of a humble servant of Jesus Christ representing the Church of Peter.
The @Pontifex should represent humility and courage in the face of the evil that walks the earth.
Does he truly see @realDonaldTrump as evil?
I think not.
I believe he is moving at a speed directed by his masters (not God). The Pope, as a man, needs to be reminded that humility in the face of God is courage. Courage without humility in the face of man is dangerous.
It is shocking how many Catholics are upset at Trump currently. It shows the unhealthy allegiance that they hold for any man, including the Pope.
In Revelation 19:10, we are told not to worship even an angel, but only God, so certainly we should not worship a man, even the Pope.
In Acts 10:25, Peter (the first Pope) says that he is just a man and not to worship him but to worship only God.
In Jeremiah 17:5 says that we are cursed if we trust in man or in our strength.
With access to greater knowledge, all of us see a darker underbelly of our international political systems and the depravity of humanity (truly).
So what? Thrust yourselves into the word of God instead of focusing on the word of man. I know that is the challenge of a lifetime, but for some individuals and even for a few nations, it could save lives.
Why? Because all men say dumb things at times. It may be purposeful for a circumstance or it may just be ignorance. If our hope and trust remains in Jesus, that allows us to walk through these uncertain times unphased.
If it isn’t clear enough yet, it will become even more clear in the months ahead.
President Trump requests a survey to tag @LeaderJohnThune, so he can see your comments.
If passed, it would end the Dem Party.
Do you back:
A. Watermarked Paper Ballot
B. Same Day Voting
C. Voter Photo ID
D. Proof of Citizenship
E. In-person voting
F. All of the above.
Cardinal Müller’s message to the entire world: No one has the right to criticize the Pope. This comes after Trump criticized the Pope.
“It must be clearly stated that no one has the right to criticize the Pope when he faithfully follows the mission he received from Christ to bear witness to the Gospel of peace.”
He is against people criticizing the Pope and believes people shouldn’t question him.
Tensions between President Donald Trump and Pope Leo XIV are stirring unease among U.S. Catholics, exposing a familiar but deepening divide between political loyalty and religious leadership.

@LucasSa56947288@ericswalwell@StevenTDennis His own party did this. It’s what they do when they are done with one of their pawns. And you brainwashed weaklings can’t see the truth.
I am suspending my campaign for Governor.
To my family, staff, friends, and supporters, I am deeply sorry for mistakes in judgment I’ve made in my past.
I will fight the serious, false allegations that have been made — but that’s my fight, not a campaign’s.
Watch as @Savsays gets assaulted and battered multiple times by radical lefties, including a man, just for exercising her First Amendment rights.
Every single one of these criminals needs to be locked up. I’m sick and tired of the nonstop lawlessness in blue cities and states.
@MannySchewitz@TimButtrum316@mikeroweworks If you think Biden knew what he was doing then frankly you’re not very bright. Just brainwashed. He had scrambled eggs for brains and find his way out of a paper bag.
I want to apologize for not responding to any of the 22 thousand comments my last post inspired. I’ve been filming all week and just noticed my observations about Jimmy Kimmel and a former plumber named Markwayne Mullin have gone viral. I've also noticed that many of the comments are from people who genuinely seem to believe that Jimmy wasn’t belittling plumbers at all, but was instead, simply trying to point out that Mullin is not qualified to lead the DHS. Here's a small smattering...
Roger Bicknell...
Mikey stop. Kimmel wasn't making fun of plumbers he was making fun of Mullin.
Rebecca Piatt Gonzalez...
Dearest Mike, it's not anything to do with his being a plumber. It's him NOT being skilled in Homeland Security.
Patrick Wise...
Being a plumber qualifies you to be a plumber. Period. The issue Jimmy and the rest of us at the adult table recognize is that jobs require certain training and experience and being a plumber does not qualify you to be Sec of DHS.
Had Roger, Rebecca, Patrick and all the others who rushed to Jimmy’s Kimmel’s defense actually read what I had written, they would see that I did not suggest - even remotely - that a plumber was inherently qualified to hold a cabinet position. What I said was that being a plumber should not disqualify a person from holding such a position. Big difference. Doctors, lawyers, veterinarians, fireman, and university professors are no more or less qualified to run the DHS than plumbers, electricians, or carpenters – but should they all be dismissed as “unqualified” simply because they made a living in some other vocation?
As I wrote in my original post, credentials and diplomas are great ways to bolster a person’s credibility, especially if we’re talking about mastering a specific skill. I think we can all agree that plumbers, accountants, mechanics, and surgeons should all have to prove themselves competent before hanging out a shingle. But what do their credentials and diplomas have to do with their actual competency? Are we not already surrounded by a legion of perfectly qualified experts who don't know what the hell they're doing? Moreover, what do credentials and experience have to do with wisdom, honesty, common sense, integrity, courage, the ability to lead, or any other virtue we’d like to have in our elected officials?
There are plenty of legitimate reasons to question Mullin’s suitability for this role. But there’s no legitimate reason to disqualify him simply because he used to be a plumber. Just as there was no legitimate reason to dismiss AOC because she used to tend bar. As for the joke itself, here’s an honest question. If Senator Mullin was a retired doctor instead of a retired plumber, do you believe he would have would made the same joke?
Roger, Rebecca, Patrick...be honest. Do you really think Jimmy would have said to his audience, "So, now we have a DOCTOR in charge of protecting us from terrorism? Hey – it worked for Dr. Suess – maybe it’ll work for Markwayne!"
Personally, I don't. Not in a million years. Why? Because no one would have found it funny, that’s why. Even though doctors are no more “qualified” to protect us from terrorists than plumbers are, Jimmy knows that doctors are widely respected in society, and that plumbers are not. He knows that medical degrees and doctorates are aspirational credentials, whereas plumbing certificates are not. The entire premise of his joke was based on a personal bias that he knew his audience shared – a bias that presupposes plumbers are uneducated, one-dimensional workers who never made it to college, and are therefore "unqualified" to do anything but plumb.
Jimmy is entitled to his opinion, along with anyone else who believes that Mullin is unqualified to lead the DHS. The Constitution, however, says otherwise, and so does the Senate. Likewise, reasonable people can disagree as to what is funny and what isn’t. Frankly, I couldn’t care less. What I do care about, is the extraordinary shortage of plumbers and electricians our country is facing, and the longstanding stigmas and stereotypes that continue to discourage people from considering a lucrative career in the skilled trades. Jimmy’s joke – and his audience’s reaction to it – is proof positive that those stigmas and stereotypes are alive and well.
PS. We have a lot of money set aside to help train the next generation of plumbers. Apply for a scholarship at mikeroweworks.org Who knows? Could be the first step on your road to President..
'THINKING ABOUT IT': Kentucky Sen. Rand Paul, who at times has broken with President Trump on policy matters, said he is considering a run for the Republican presidential nomination in 2028.
@LeaderJohnThune Mr Thune, you are not a leader. You are not a republican. You are not a representative for the American people. You are a worthless democrat hell bent on ruining this country.
Let’s summarize where we are after a 40+ day Democrat shutdown of the Department of Homeland Security.
1) ICE and CBP are funded, thanks to the Working Families Tax Cuts and the foresight of President Trump and Republicans in Congress.
2) After holding DHS and the American people hostage for over 40 days, Dems got ZERO restrictions that would prevent ICE and CBP agents from doing their jobs safely.
3) Due to Dem obstruction of the appropriations process, ICE and CBP will get even more funding through budget reconciliation.
4) Dems have once again established themselves as the “Open Borders, Defund the Police” party heading into an election.
5) Dem leadership has proven once again they can’t be trusted to make a deal.
Which begs the question if you’re a Dem senator or one of their left-wing supporters: What was this really all about?
