@WallStreetMav Hopefully conservatives are starting to figure out that governance hasn't been happening through Congress for a long time... it's happening through institutions. Congress is merely downstream. And institutions can be bought out.

One more point on this. For years the Iranian regime (and their defenders in Washington) has denied being connected to Hezbollah. By Iran demanding a ceasefire in Lebanon - to protect their terror asset Hezbollah - they once again prove they’ve been waging war in Lebanon all along

The sad thing is that Ro is the guy preaching for socialism while he is the most active insider trader in Congress. He is a terrible representative of Silicon Valley.

If you were just complaining that a $4 billion dollar trip to space "could have fed the poor" but you're silent about the $126 billion dollar train to nowhere, it's time to stop pretending your politics have anything to do with feeding poor people

BREAKING 🚨: Eggs Egg Prices have now collapsed by more than 97% from their March 2025 all-time high and are now trading at the lowest price in over a decade 🥚📉🥳

They’re all saying the same thing Not creepy at all

One doctor. I 100% believe our national debt would be significantly less without all this fraud.

He called out sick for three days when Trump won. Brandon Straka wasn’t a casual Democrat. Obama twice. Hillary. He built his identity around it. Two months later a stranger sent him a YouTube video. It showed Trump using the same voice and the same gesture. For years. Long before he ever met that reporter. Straka watched it four times. His brain said the mockery story wasn’t true. His emotions said keep hating anyway. He listened to his brain. That was it. One video. One woman in his DMs. Everything he’d believed fell apart. The clip went viral. The context didn’t. He found it anyway.

The Left never got over Elon buying X. That wasn’t supposed to happen. The Left’s ideas are so bad and damaging they need total control of information. When Elon bought X they lost that control. People started seeing truth. This is catastrophic for the Left. Simple.

Look, I get it, Dems. You think buying Greenland is dumb. You think trash-talking NATO is dumb. You think Hegseth firing generals is dumb. You think bombing Iran is dumb. Fine. Maybe you’re right. Maybe you’re wrong. I’ll buy you a beer and we can argue about it. But that’s not the point. Every administration in American history has done dumb things. Jefferson had an embargo that tanked his own economy. LBJ had Vietnam. Carter sold the Panama Canal for $1. W. had “Mission Accomplished.” Obama had…. where do I even begin? Dumb is bipartisan. Dumb is American. Dumb is fine. DC runs on dumb decisions. What NONE of them ever did, what is truly, mind-melting, pants-on-head, clown-car-fire, galaxy-brained, lead-paint-chip-eating, 50-IQ-Neanderthal-ripping-a-bong dumb, was pay NGOs by the busload to smuggle tens of millions of people, including actual convicted criminals, across a border we spent trillions pretending to defend, then hand them free four-star hotels, free cell phones, free ATM cards, and a court date in 2031 they were never going to show up for. That is not a policy. That is a SNL cold open someone forgot to write a punchline for. A five-year-old with a juice box could tell you that was Bozo-the-Clown-on-crack, Weekend-at-Bernie’s-running-DHS, “hold-my-beer-I’m-gonna-try-something” levels of stupid. My golden retriever could have run a tighter border. A Magic 8-Ball would have outperformed the entire Biden interagency. That’s the new threshold, Democrats. That’s the low-water mark. That’s the floor. That is the Mariana Trench of public policy and you personally rented the Titan submersible. Argue all you want about the Strait of Hormuz. Write your op-eds. Go on cable TV with Tom Nichols. Clutch your pearls about Greenland. But until Trump proposes something even half as mind-bendingly, bone-crushingly, civilization-forfeitingly brain-dead as what Biden and Kamala did with our borders, I genuinely do not care. Zero F’s given by me.

On Jan 6, @BrandonStraka stood outside the Capitol for 8 minutes. He never even went inside. But weeks later, he woke up to an FBI tactical team raiding his home at dawn. He tells me about the terrifying morning that ignited a 3-year DOJ nightmare for the #WalkAway founder.

This did not happen. There are no reports of it happening. No eyewitness accounts, and no video. The Ventura County Sheriff's Department tells me they do not have any record of what Governor Newsom is talking about. Neither does the Ventura County DA’s office or the Southern California FBI office. Lying liars always lie.

🚨PROFESSOR JIANG: "I've been to a lot of countries in the world and I'd say that America is the least racist country in the world because regardless of America's racist past Americans have a deep respect for hard work and talent. America is the only country in the world where you can come as a nobody and open a restaurant and become a millionaire. I know because I have relatives who have done that. You couldn't do that in China. You couldn't do that in Europe. You couldn't do that anywhere else. I understand that there's a racist past in America, that of slavery, that of the indigenous people, but you can't forget that America is still probably the most open and generous society in the world."

If you hate the President so much that you wish harm on the country and the soldiers who serve, you have allowed anger and bitterness to blind you to what is good, right, and just. God bless America.

Macron lectures the world about stability and restraint while France quietly does the opposite behind closed doors. In a single day, France aligned with China and Russia at the UN Security Council to block a resolution that would have enabled action to reopen the Strait of Hormuz. No statement. No transparency. Just obstruction. Hours later, a French tanker sailed through that very same strait. So France blocks collective enforcement, then benefits from the security others are expected to provide. This is what colluding with the enemy looks like on the world stage.

Darren Woo is a 56-year-old firefighter. He works full-time for the Savannah River Site Fire Department and also volunteers for Columbia County. He's been a caddie at Champions Retreat, about 20 minutes from Augusta National, for six years. He's also a father to five boys. Two weeks ago, Woo looped for three @RazorbackWGolf players during a practice round at Champions – one of them was Maria Jose Marin. When Marin asked Woo if he'd caddie for her at @anwagolf, Woo jumped at the chance. Behind the scenes, Marin's father, Jose, was giving up the bag, telling his daughter, “I love you with all my heart, but you need someone that knows how to handle a tournament of this level.” Woo had zero experience at Augusta National, though his calming presence and positivity earned him the loop for Saturday's final round. Arkansas coach Shauna Estes-Taylor said Woo's southern accent was so calming, that one could "meditate to it." Throughout the final day, Woo encouraged Marin with things such as: Be confident. You’re going to work it out. Give yourself a chance. Keep your head up. Breathe. "He was my greatest support during the whole week and a key to the victory," Marin said. Woo revealed after Marin's win that he worked a 14-hour shift that ended at 7 a.m. Saturday, less than four hours before Marin's tee time. He also shared that he not only has one granddaughter but he has two more grandchildren on the way. “Maybe I’ll be lucky enough and have three granddaughters," Woo said, "and they can all grow up to be like Maria.”

Does anyone really think the left will just “go back to normal” after Trumps out of office? TDS will just turn into JDS, MDS, or some other fuckin derangement syndrome. Trumps language or behavior isn’t the reason they’re losing their shit every day. The reason they’re mad is because if they didn’t have Trump to blame for all their problems, they might actually realize they’re the ones who caused them.

EXCLUSIVE: The hidden $250K machine of 9 paid vendors behind the 'flagship' #NoKings protest in St. Paul, Minnesota I followed the money behind the No Kings protest in St. Paul, Minn., and uncovered an estimated $250,000 paid to 9 vendors to produce an event that was about the size of a Def Leppard concert. Sources said that the Democratic nonprofit Indivisible paid the bill. It didn't respond to numerous requests for comment. How did I piece this together? Well, I have a rule when reporting on the protest industry: be the first there and one of the last to leave. That’s how I met Slamhammer Sound & Roadcase Co. production manager Matt Svobodny, one of the very nice hard-working members of the production crew behind the scenes in St. Paul, as they were breaking down the set for the No Kings protest, long after Bruce Springsteen and most of the anti-Trump protesters had left. He was straightforward, candid and matter-of-fact about what it takes to throw a protest and, a few days later, guided me -- and you -- through the warehouse where Slamhammer stores the equipment it pulled out for the protest. He provided the kind of transparency that the secretive nonprofits behind the protests should actually be providing to citizens and the media. See for yourself: ➡️ the mobile stage ➡️ the speakers ➡️ nearly a mile of heavy-duty feeder cable used to distribute electricity throughout the rally site and the ballistic ➡️ bullet-resistant barriers that shielded the Bruce Springsteen, Jane Fonda, Joan Baez, TIm Walz, Ilhan Omar, Randi Weingarten and the day's other bold-faced names WATCH the video that I recorded ⬇️ Thank you to Fox News Digital's Hannah Brennan for her work editing the video. In our new @FoxNews Digital exclusive, I lay out how the "flagship" protest in St. Paul wasn’t spontaneous, like most of the media reported. It was professionally engineered. And that raises a bigger question: When protests look like productions…who’s really behind the curtain? I answer that question in the article and the thread below 🧵👇 A former Obama and Biden administration political strategist and campaign operative Roger Fisk takes credit for being the "Senior Advisor to the #NoKings flagship event," fine-tuning the "art and science" of throwing the St. Paul protest, along with two other "No Kings" protests last year. Fisk didn't respond to a request for comment. The protests have parroted Chinese government propaganda, demonizing America as a "fascist" nation and Trump as a "king." Partners in the protests were pro-communist groups funded by Neville Roy Singham, a tech tycoon living in Shanghai. @DataRepublican, You'll want to read this. READ: foxnews.com/politics/behin… Behind the scenes, I identified 9 vendors that were paid an estimated $250,000 to construct the protest: ➡️ Slamhammer Sound & Roadcase Co. — mobile stage, 100-speaker sound system, lighting, 1,700 ft cable, ballistic barriers → estimated $100,000 ➡️ Fire Up Video — 4 jumbo screens → estimated $20,000 ➡️ Algorithm, an AV company — 2 jumbo screens → estimated $25,000 ➡️ Common World Productions — 2 LED stage screens → estimated $10,000 ➡️ Warning Lites of Minnesota — bike-rack barricades → estimated $15,000 ➡️ E5 Energy — generators, electrical distribution → estimated $15,000 ➡️ Ultimate Events — tents, chairs, tables → estimated $30,000 ➡️ On Site Companies — ~300 porta-toilets → estimated $25,000 ➡️ Fast Kat Connects — high-speed internet → estimated $10,000 Total: an estimated $250,000. This wasn’t a rally that just “popped up,” as CNN reported. It was built, truck by truck, cable by cable, screen by screen. 🧵 with how it worked.

I took this picture on April 5, 2015, the last time my birthday fell on Easter. It was not a great day for me. I fought back tears at church, and not in the overwhelmed-by God's-great-mercy way. Little did I know at the time, my year was going to take much worse turns. But I was newly pregnant with my second child, and though very sick and feeling pretty sorry for myself that Easter morning, I knew I was blessed with this new life and a Savior who loves me. I took this photo because it was a reminder of new life and bread of life, and the light of the world. Later that year, I would lose my husband while 7 months pregnant. He died in September. My daughter was born in November. A lot of people wonder, and have asked me, how does one keep her faith through those dark days. I always wondered, how could I have made it through without it? I was angry and scared and so, so thankful I had met Jesus before that moment. I met Him while reading one of those 90s teen study bibles with neon graphics, in my childhood bedroom. In my sad, grey adult bedroom, I woke up panicking in the night, but He was always with me. I prayed Jeremiah 29:11 to calm myself down: "'For I know the plans I have for you,' declares the Lord. 'Plans to prosper you and not to harm you. Plans to give you hope and a future.'" I prayed it even though I didn't really believe it at the time. It's not that Jesus solved all my problems in this fallen world or fixed my immediate pain right up. But I was in it with Him and with His promises. And he put the kind of brother in my life who would move in with me to help raise the kids for six months. He put parents in my life who showed up every weekend. He put a neighbor in my life who mowed my lawn every week and another who was a SEAL wife and understood grief like few do, and a best friend who could work out my paperwork (death is so much paperwork) when I couldn't. "God whispers to us in our pleasures, speaks to us in our conscience, but shouts to us in our pain: it is His megaphone to rouse a deaf world," C.S. Lewis writes in "The Problem of Pain." I learned a lot while I was being shouted at. I think about Jeremiah 29:11 and 11 years ago today. I think about how my little girl who was not yet born then baked my birthday cake today. I think about how she has three siblings now and the most amazing dad— I remarried in 2020 and he adopted the girls. He took all four of our kids to the store to pick out something for my birthday and then let them each choose a walkout song on the karaoke machine as he gave them a Bruce Buffer announcement call when they came down the stairs to present them to me. I think about how they've gained grandparents and cousins and love and faith. (Our first holiday with Steve's family was Easter, and I took it as a good sign.) I pray they've watched our lives and gained trust in their Lord. I think about how my patience was tested by them several times today, as the patience of a parent always is, and how infinite my Father in heaven's patience for me must be. I think about how much I love each of them, and how much my heart grew when each was born just to fit it all in, and how much greater still is my Father's love for me. I think about how much I have to learn and how my faith is still not as mature as it should be at this point (occasionally illustrated on this app). Today in the car, my kids requested "No Fear" by @jonreddick , "Your Way's Better," by @forestfrank , and "Jesus Is Alive, It's a Happy Day" — that one came with sign language by the 3- and 4-year-old, which I recommend for making your heart soar on a Sunday. They listen to secular music, too, but those are their favorites. One time, reading the Christmas story with my kids, I read "Do not be afraid, for behold, I bring you good tidings of great joy which will be to all people," and my eldest (about 5 at the time) said, "Mom, the angel always says that!" She's right, the angel always says that! It is so hard not to be afraid, but we have a Good Shepherd. Our lives were touched by death, but He has conquered it. My kids like new worship songs, but I love the classics, and today as on every Easter, I sang "Blessed Assurance," because Jesus is mine. And in the darkest times, He is new life and bread of life, and the light of the world. I am remembering to rejoice in that every day.

We’re being told this country is broken beyond repair. And then this happens. An American Olympic gold medalist, bloodied and grinning, wrapped in the Stars and Stripes, after decades of waiting, sacrifice, and belief, reminding the world what it looks like when America rises again. 🇺🇸 Two kids on a quiet sidewalk, watching Artemis II tear through the sky, like history reaching forward and backward at once, reminding us we are still the nation that dares to go farther. 🚀 And an American Air Force colonel, shot down over enemy territory, alone in the mountains of Iran for 48 hours, hunted, wounded, waiting, And America came for him anyway. Through the dark. Through the risk. Through the fire. Because we don’t leave our own. Same year. Same country. Not spin. Not noise. This is real. They can keep selling division. They can keep feeding the noise. But this? This is different. This is who we are when it matters. Not perfect. Not polished. But still capable of courage. Still capable of wonder. Still capable of loyalty. The darkness is loud right now. But the light? The light doesn’t ask permission. It just shows up. GOD BLESS AMERICA 🇺🇸❤️ HAPPY EASTER 💜
