@FairElectionsVA Your YES vote DISENFRANCHISES more than a million Virginia voters. Your NO vote will keep the current map, a 6-5 split that represents Virginia and its current population very well. The 6-5 map is a result of the constitutional amendment we overwhelmingly voted for. Vote NO

The attorneys for my assailant here in Portland are publicly claiming I’m testifying against her to profit. Given the fact I have to pay for MULTIPLE full time security agents for SEVERAL DAYS while l’m here, I’m spending over $15,000 to testify All out of pocket They’re lying

Secretary Marco Rubio
Earlier this month, I met Molly, Amy, and Patti as they asked for help freeing their brother Dennis Coyle from detention in Afghanistan. Today, Dennis is on his way home. We thank the UAE and Qatar for their support. The release is a positive step towards ending the practice of hostage diplomacy.

When doubt creeps in, when times feel dark and hope is hard to find, remember what our enemies were bragging about just a few years ago: Almost all constitutional carry states now! And we are not stopping. Check the post below. We are taking this fight to all 50 states!

Tonight’s “Buzz’s Bedtime Stories” is a sober one. Please read and share. A thread. There are ways in which a ruler can bring misfortune upon his army:…by attempting to govern an army in the same way as he administers a kingdom, being ignorant of the conditions which obtain in an army.” ~ Sun Tzu, The Art of War   1) Eighty-two years ago, America’s Greatest Generation and our allies ran headlong into a massive German gauntlet on the shores of France. D-Day. They were from Ohio, California, Iowa, and New York, everywhere. They were rich and poor and everywhere in between. They answered the ultimate call. Our freedom, and the freedom of those in many other nations, was challenged, and they stepped up, as President Reagan said during that memorable speech given at Pointe du Hoc commemorating the 40th anniversary of that day, because they “knew that some things are worth dying for.” Estimated deaths (sadly, we’ll never know precisely), were approximately 2500 Americans and 1900 allies. That’s a lot of Gold Star families. How many Americans know that? How many appreciate the sacrifices of those men in the operation that eventually won the war on the European Front? Apparently, not enough. And, here we are. The world is a dangerous place. During the years of WWII, approximately 12 percent of the American population were actively serving in the military. Today, it’s less than 1 percent. That means that very few people even know someone who’s served in the military, much less actually serving, and it’s led to a huge disconnect, folks. Our contemporary culture doesn’t get it. We’ve lost the connection. We’ve lost the goal, the understanding of the purpose our military serves. There’s a phrase I’ve used in the past which I now regret: “Our military exists to kill people and break things.” While that’s very true, it’s limited, and we exist for so much more. The US military is also, simultaneously, the greatest guarantor of freedom, liberty, and humanitarian assistance around the world. During a few of the years when Bill Clinton was catting around the White House, I was his Air Force Military Aide and carrier of the “Nuclear Football,” the President’s Emergency Satchel and everything POTUS needs to launch nuclear weapons. My position wasn’t an appointment. It wasn’t political; it was a military assignment. It didn’t stop me from observing what was going on around me, though, and later (after my retirement), I wrote the bestselling book “Dereliction of Duty: The Eyewitness Account of How Bill Clinton Compromised America’s National Security.” What became immediately apparent to me was the Clinton administration’s warped view of our military and its role in a functioning republic. The one essential truth about the US military over the years was its apolitical nature and its devotion to success. Our military’s core mission, obviously, is to win our nation’s wars. During the Clinton years the mission got wrapped up in politics and the larger culture war, of which our national defense should never be a part — and now, here we are. As has become all too clear with our current operations in Iran, many Americans actively seek to undermine our military, its mission, and, most importantly, its people. For them, our military isn’t composed of intelligent, dedicated, human beings assigned to protect and defend a nation; it’s a tool for political expediency. Pure and simple. Our nation’s elites need to pause and reflect. And reflect back on Reagan’s address that day honoring the Greatest Generation. We have a generation today worthy of our support and undying respect.

2) Reagan said, “Forty summers have passed since the battle that you fought here. You were young the day you took these cliffs; some of you were hardly more than boys, with the deepest joys of life before you. Yet, you risked everything here. Why? Why did you do it? What impelled you to put aside the instinct for self-preservation and risk your lives to take these cliffs? What inspired all the men of the armies that met here? We look at you, and somehow we know the answer. It was faith and belief; it was loyalty and love.” Our troops are there, are you?

Major notes from the weekend on Iran: 1) Combined Force strikes started hitting IRGC Ground Forces units in the Kurdish regions. 2) We have confirmed that IRGC members are at least two cycles behind on pay. 3) *Coincidentally,* I'm sure, the IRGC Ground Forces Commander went on a tour visiting these forces. In combination, these three notes indicate a high risk of desertion throughout the IRGC. 4) Separately, we have the attack on Diego Garcia that, frankly, justifies the war in and of itself. The base itself isn't terribly significant, its not that "Iran can get Diego Garcia! We have to go to war!" The issue is that Iran constantly lies about everything to do with its nuclear program. Taqiyya. They've issued fatwas against nuclear weapons, then simultaneously enrich uranium to levels only usable in weapons while developing long-range ballistic missiles. "Its for medical purposes!" No, it wasn't, and it couldn't be. Uranium enriched to this degree has no medical uses. "Its for self-defense!" Then why were you hiding a long range ballistic missile capable of delivering a nuclear weapon to London? The fact they were developing these weapons while consistently lying about it, in the face of all the world being united against their acquisition of the weapons, combined with all of their past acts of terrorism and piracy, absolutely justifies this war. 5) On Negotiations: These are being played very close to the chest, but here's what I've been able to gather... Witkoff and Kushner are keeping lines of communication open with non-IRGC elements of the Iranian State—if I had to guess, I'd expect officials within the Republican Government. If not Pezeshkian himself, then probably people with access to him. It seems abundantly clear that the situation in Iran is at this point A Tale of Two Cities. One is an IRGC-Cleric alliance propping up the corpse of the Velayat-e Faqih. The other is the Republican-Reform alliance propping up the still in-tact organs of state outside of the IRGC's control. We are almost certainly negotiating with one of these 'cities,' and not the other. This is what I expected would be the prelude to final resolution. The existing power structures in Iran will continue to pull support away from, and rallying support against, the IRGC. At this point, it appears the plan is to reach a pre-negotiated settlement with the Republican-Reform Government while hammering the IRGC on all available fronts and enabling a fairly smooth transition of power. Mass uprising is probably now the backup plan, with total dismantling of Iran's infrastructure the backup to the backup plan.

None of this is hard. Stop it. Stop using people and scaring them. It's so old. Instead of saying they can't, find out how they can and help them. FFS.

@PolitiBunny May be easy for you and a few others, but not everyone is in the same situation as you. State laws vary. In person request require transportation. Money for travel, parking, fees, etc. The Constitution guarantees us the RIGHT to vote. If it cost more than 0 it is unconstitutional

While TV news ratings lie there twitching like roadkill, X is out here shattering engagement records...back-to-back days of pure, unfiltered dominance. That tells you EVERYTHING you need to know, geniuses. The audience didn’t vanish into thin air. They PACKED UP and LEFT your sorry asses. They ditched the over-lit studios, the rehearsed fake outrage, the circle-jerk “expert panels” full of the same five clowns yelling the same tired scripts… and ran straight to where actual information moves at the speed of reality, not the speed of a focus-group-approved narrative. Legacy media didn’t “lose relevance” in some tragic overnight plot twist. Nah. They SLOWLY BLED IT OUT over YEARS of smug lies, partisan hackery, and treating viewers like brain-dead cash cows. Now the viewers are gone, the ratings are in the morgue, and X is having a victory lap on their corpse. Cry harder, anchors. Your funeral is trending. (article below)

John Reid - The Reid Revolution
Remember when you’re voting that Democrats WANT you to stand in 4 hour TSA lines so they can get their way on allowing illegals to stay in the country. They want you to feel pain so they can blame Republicans for it. Meanwhile Trump is trying to come up with a solution that solves the unnecessary problem at the airports. And it’s also shocking the Democrats want TSA employees to continue to not be paid. Just like they DELIBERATELY kept the federal government closed last year to try to anger voters. Don’t entrust power in people who are glad to see you- the law abiding citizen- suffer.

How do you react when a Senate Democrat says that noncitizen voting in the U.S. is “very, very, very, very, very, very, very rare”? My reaction in a nutshell: They have NO IDEA how common or rare it is because the status quo makes knowing that impossible
