On March 4, 2002, John A. Chapman was left alone on a freezing mountain in Afghanistan. Surrounded and outnumbered, he fought the fight of his life.
That night on Takur Ghar, everything went wrong.
A SEAL team was pinned down on the mountain under heavy enemy fire. Chapman went in with the rescue force.
As soon as they landed, chaos exploded. Gunfire from hidden bunkers. The team was hit hard, but
Chapman didn’t fall back.
He CHARGED an enemy bunker under direct fire. He closed the distance and engaged at close range.
As more enemy fighters moved in, he didn't stop. For over an hour, he held his ground, providing cover for incoming forces.
Chapman's actions gave others a chance to survive.
Eventually, he was overwhelmed and
John Chapman died on that mountain.
But because he stayed, others lived.
His actions were not fully recognized at first, but in 2018, 16 years later, President Donald Trump awarded him the Medal of Honor.
John Chapman fought alone in the cold and held the line until the very end.

Every once in a while, a ewe will give birth to a lamb and reject it. There are many reasons she may do this. If the lamb is returned to the ewe, the mother may even kick the poor animal away. Once a ewe rejects one of her lambs, she will never change her mind. These little lambs will hang their heads so low that it looks like something is wrong with its neck. Their spirit is broken. These lambs are called “bummer lambs.” Unless the Shepherd intervenes, that lamb will die, rejected and alone. So, do you know what the Shepherd does? He takes that rejected little one into His home, hand-feeds it and keeps it warm by the fire. He will wrap it up with blankets and hold it to His chest so the bummer can hear His heartbeat. Once the lamb is strong enough, the Shepherd will place it back in the field with the rest of the flock. But that sheep never forgets how the Shepherd cared for him when his mother rejected him. When the Shepherd calls for the flock, guess who runs to Him first? That is right, the bummer sheep. He knows His voice intimately. It is not that the bummer lamb is loved more, it just knows intimately the One who loves it and has experienced that love one on one. So many of us are bummer lambs, rejected and broken. But He is the good Shepherd. He cares for our every need and holds us close to His heart so we can hear His heartbeat. I am a bummer lamb adopted and loved by The Good Shepherd!! Hallelujah!!
In a mic drop moment, Sec. Scott Bessent just PUMMELED the NYT to their faces for a HUGE double standard on Donald Trump's health
"WHERE was the New York Times? We just had a 3 hour cabinet meeting yesterday!"
"For 10 MONTHS Biden did not have a cabinet meeting. How are you going to invoke the 25th Amendment if the cabinet secretaries never see the president?"
"You had what was one of the greatest scandals of all time that the coverage of the Biden administration, Joe Biden's diminished capacity and the cover up."
"I hear from people in the Treasury building that I see President Trump more in a day than my predecessor saw Joe Biden in half a year!"
Do you firmly support Scott Bessent on this?
A. Huge Yes
B. No
IF Yes, Give me a THUMBS-UP👍!!
MAKE THIS GO VIRAL ON 𝕏. LET’S GO 👏
I’m Roman Catholic. I don’t care if you’re Orthodox, Protestant, or whatever else. None of that matters right now.
Evil attacks us every single day.
The last thing we should be doing is fighting each other. We need to stand together.
United in Christ.
Hello Senator Thune,
Let's expose what you're really doing with "reconciliation."
You announced it yesterday, eleven months after the House passed the SAVE America Act. You're not trying to pass this bill. You're trying to kill it in a way you can blame on process.
Here's how we know:
Reconciliation requires the Senate parliamentarian to rule that provisions are "budgetary." Citizenship verification is not budgetary. Photo ID mandates are not budgetary. The parliamentarian will gut the bill. Then you'll shrug and say "we tried." We see through you.
Meanwhile, you WON'T use the tools that actually work:
Rule XIX limits each senator to two speeches per legislative day. Keep the Senate in continuous session, file cloture daily, and the filibuster exhausts in ~12-20 days. You dismissed it as "complicated." Because if you tried and succeeded, you'd have to actually pass the bill.
Harry Reid nuked the filibuster in 2013 when he wanted results.
Mitch McConnell changed Senate rules THREE times and canceled the August recess.
Chuck Schumer used reconciliation within months on a 50-50 Senate.
You have 53 seats. You've changed nothing, canceled nothing, and waited eleven months.
Now let's talk donors:
• Goldman Sachs: $150K to you - top H-1B user
• Google: $75K - lobbies against E-Verify
• Meta: $72.5K - Zuckerberg's FWD[.]us pushes mass immigration
• Wells Fargo: $90K - banks undocumented immigrants
Same corporations sponsor Punchbowl News, where you sit for "Fly Out Days" which nobody watches except Congress staffers and K Street lobbyists who pays premium bucks for legislative intelligence. Their reporter then telegraphs to the audience the SAVE Act "will ultimately fail."
Corporate money flows to you AND to the outlet that frames your inaction as inevitable.
We see the loop.
You called grassroots anger a "paid influencer ecosystem." YOU are the paid influencer. You take the wrong side of a 80% issue because you are indistinguishable from a K Street mouthpiece, and an ineffective one to boot who won't bend the rules to get anything passed.
What we want:
1. Force a real talking filibuster.
2. Stop hiding behind process.
3. Pass the SAVE America Act.
YOU will become the reason that we will have our butts kicked in midterms. Not Candace Owens, not Nick Fuentes, not anyone else. You and you alone, and all because you want to make the 200 or so viewers of Punchbowl Fly Out Days happy. You're living in a K Street information bubble, addicted to the comforts and praises of lobbyists masquerading as journalists. You mistake the steak and martini dinners you get invited to as your own constituents.
You are not "moderate." The SAVE America Act has 98% support among Republicans. Name one other thing that has 98% support. You are an extreme minority who prides himself on being a calm leader, when in reality you are well in the running for the most ineffective Majority leader of all time.
Prove me wrong. Do the bare modicum of effort. Not symbolic. Actual effort. Cancel the recess. Get SAVE America Act passed.
Let's offer one Hail Mary to honor our Blessed Mother on the Solemnity of the Annunciation of the Lord. Please comment 'Amen' as a response. #OneHailMarycampaign
CONGRESS CASHES IN ON WAR
On Episode 72 of Going Rogue with Lara Logan, Tennessee Congressman Tim Burchett exposes how Washington really operates behind closed doors.
Burchett tells Lara that massive spending bills are often resisted publicly, only to be rushed through at the last minute packed with hidden deals and political favors. He says both parties play the same game, loading legislation with “pork” and forcing it through before the American people can see what’s inside.
He also raises serious concerns about insider knowledge in Congress, where lawmakers are briefed on military actions and policy decisions before the public, creating opportunities to profit in the stock market.
Burchett warns that the system is broken and that Americans are being taken advantage of by a political class that operates on power, timing, and access.

🚨 HOLY CRAP! Senator Cruz CONFIRMED that Biden’s FBI wiretapped Susie Wiles during a PRIVILEGED CALL with her lawyer without the consent of EITHER party.
To make it HORRENDOUSLY worse, they then tried to HIDE evidence of their actions by marking the file “prohibited.”
This makes Watergate look like CHILD’S PLAY. Accountability is not optional. These people MUST be held accountable.
BOMBSHELL: Senator Mike Lee just proved Biden's FBI ILLEGALLY WIRETAPPED Trump's campaign manager, Susie Wiles, during a privileged call with her lawyer.
The lawyer never consented.
FBI hid the recording by marking it a "prohibited file."
Lee's verdict is SIMPLE & ALARMING: this abuse DWARFS Watergate because it weaponized official government power against the leading opposition candidate.
PURE ELECTION INTERFERENCE EXPOSED.🔥
MUST SEE: Actor Chris Pratt is one of the good ones.
Here is his take on faith and why, above all else, it is so important to him.
"I don't care about politics to take a stand one way or another, but I do care enough about Jesus to take a stand even if it costs me everything, I don't care."
"It is what I am called to do."
I'm Catholic. The mass is the highest form of worship. I'm not going to change my opinion on that...But this is beautiful. Make a Joyful Noise unto the lord. Let your humble and contrite heart be a sacrifice to the Lord. God bless these people.
Rob Schneider just dropped a strong message:
“I support the incredible Hungarian people and their uniquely special culture. It is my sincere prayer that Hungary remains a free Christian country and is not dragged into war or becomes a pawn of Brussels.”
He proudly stands with Viktor Orbán.
Simple as that — nations have the right to protect their sovereignty, borders, and heritage. Respect. 🇭🇺
🚨 JUST IN: Rep. Brandon Gill just absolutely EVISCERATED Democrats for betraying America over and over again.
He said so much of Democrat policy is based on flooding American communities with hostile foreigners, putting their interests above the interests of the American people, and then weaponizing that politically for electoral gain.
“It’s absolutely grotesque.”
Gill also made it crystal clear that Republicans are NOT going to let Democrats defund ICE.
He said ICE and immigration enforcement will be funded the way they should be so deportations can continue, no matter what Democrats think about it.
And he warned there are still a few more steps before a deal is done, but Republicans are going to finish the job whether Democrats like it or not.
No surrender. No backing off. Keep fighting.
Do you agree with Brandon Gill?
A. 100% yes
B. He nailed it
C. Democrats got exposed
D. America first
Today is the Traditional Feast Day of Saint Gabriel the Archangel.
Five months ago, today, our son Gabriel Augustine was born, baptized, confirmed, and went to Heaven.
On this day, ask Gabriel the Archangel and our son, Gabriel Augustine, to intercede for you!
Here it is:
Democrats across every blue state have flat-out refused to share voter registration data with the federal government—and have even gone to court to block its release.
This is:
Wisconsin’s WisVote voter database for the 2020 election listed a staggering 7.1 million registrants—even though the state had only about 4 million eligible adults.
And it gets worse: of those 4 million adults in Wisconsin, not all are registered, and not all vote. The actual number is closer to 3.6–3.7 million.
Meaning: It’s easy, within the Dominion rigging system, to assign a mail-in ballot to a person, including an illegal alien.
Pass the SAVE America Act.
John L. Canley recibió la Medalla de Honor por su extraordinaria valentía durante el combate. Sus acciones demostraron coraje, liderazgo y sacrificio, ganándole el reconocimiento como una de las figuras más respetadas en la historia militar de los Estados Unidos. 🫡
In the 14th century, St. Bridget of Sweden was shown by the Lord the immense dignity, and the terrifying responsibility, of the Catholic priesthood...🇻🇦
In one of her visions, our Lord Jesus Christ spoke to her: “When I was about to depart from this world, I entrusted the thing dearest to me, my own body, to priests whom I chose to be above all the angels and above all other men. I gave them these five good gifts:
- My faith
- The two keys to hell and heaven
- The ability to make an angel out of an enemy
- The ability to consecrate My Body— which none of the angels can do
- The gift of handling My most pure Body with their own hands.”
Yet the Lord revealed to her that priests treated Him as the Jews treated Him after the miracles, denying, mocking, and betraying. The Lord said:
1.) "They preach their own pleasure and think nothing of what I did for them…"
2.) "They have lost the key with which they were to open heaven for the wretched. They love, however, the key that opens hell…"
3.) "They make a wicked man out of a righteous one, a devil out of the simple-hearted… anyone who turns to them with three wounds receives a fourth from them."
The Lord then revealed to her that priests who are sinners will find themselves deeper in hell than all the other damned: "Their condemnation will be greater than that of others, because they go astray in their conduct and hurt others by their example.”
St. Bridget was told by the Lord that bad priests are not truly His priests, but true betrayer, worse than Judas in some ways, because they sell Christ after He has already redeemed the world. They handle the sacred Host while living in lust, greed, and double lives, then return to sin with firm intention.
In one of her visions, the Lord revealed to St. Bridget a priest who was deeply loved by his entire parish. Everyone considered him a saint. He celebrated Mass daily, heard confessions, and preached sound doctrine. Yet after his death, St. Bridget saw his soul burning in the depths of hell, eternally separated from God, because he had lived his sacred vocation superficially, without true zeal or interior holiness.
This is not hatred of priests. It is a divine warning born of love. The priesthood is the greatest dignity on earth, but also carries the strictest judgment (James 3:1).
Let us respond today with prayer and sacrifice. 🙏
