@LeaderJohnThune @POTUS You know what else is unprecedented in moderm times? A senate majority leader denying a presdent of his own party any recess appointments by using pro-forma senate sessions.

Not a single one of @POTUS’ nominees this term has been confirmed via unanimous consent or voice vote, which is unprecedented in modern times. Despite Democrat obstruction, the Senate continues to get the president’s team in place.

🚨 HOLY CRAP. Nick Shirley DECIMATES Gavin Newsom 🔥 “The governor of California is an ENEMY to the people of California. He’s literally working to support the fraudsters!” “He COULD be working to expose the fraud.” “How STUPID do you have to be to say ‘let’s go after the guy exposing the fraud, let’s not go after the fraudsters?’” “That is what he’s doing. Why don’t you say ‘Hey Nick, great video - how can we help?’” “These tax dollars don’t say right or left on them, Republican or Democrat. Each tax dollar is a dollar for the American people.” “And when they go and steal these dollars from us, they are not robbing liberals or Democrats, they are robbing everyone.” “Then the governor gets mad at the person exposing the fraud? How crazy do you have to be to think that logic?!” @nickshirleyy Mic drop. H/t @TVNewsNow

@VigilantFox Where are the arrests? Where are the trials? Where are the convictions?

Nick Shirley walks up to 6 consecutive government-funded hospice providers in California—and finds NONE of them are open. Miracle Healing - “Not a single piece of furniture.” SX Home Health - Closed Alpha Omega Ventana Hospice - “Grandma’s not going to Alpha and Omega.” Serene Touch - Closed KMD Home Health - “Completely empty and nobody was there.” St. Michael HHCI - “No one’s here.” “Not only are these shell companies—these are shell buildings. It’s like somebody took a motel building and turned it into 100 fraudulent organizations.”

@Riley_Gaines_ Nothing better in life than children.

I was engaged at 21 & married less than two months later. This year we will celebrate our fourth anniversary. Our baby girl is almost 6 months old. The American dream starts with getting married and starting a family. The baby giggles & wild hair melt me. Thank you, God!

Muslim aviation enthusiasts boarded flights Tuesday morning for what could've been normal day trips to Washington D.C., Virginia and New York in the abnormally warm September weather. But in less than a few hours, their lives would drastically change as their planes crashed into the World Trade Center, the Pentagon and the ground in rural Pennsylvania. Here's what we know so far.

Just got back from the gym. Was talking to some friends there... they had literally NO IDEA about the New York City bombs being a radical terrorist. Absolutely zero clue. They didn't even believe me, so I just pulled out my phone and showed them the video on my account. This has happened so many times now, it's truly incredible. The same thing happened when I called my dad and told him about Nick Shirley's Somali daycare fraud story. He had no idea and couldn't believe he hadn't heard about it at all. It's so frustrating. I remember it well though, it never feels like indoctrination because it comes from everywhere at once. CNN in the morning at the gym. Scrolling Instagram over coffee. A podcast on the commute home. They have their different tones, but they all keep arriving at the same places. The same things were important. The same people were credible. Literally ANY OTHER CONCERNS were paranoid or fringe or evidence of the kind of thinking that TRULY EDUCATED people had moved past long ago... I took this convergence, everyone, everywhere telling the same stories with the same angles... as proof. When you hear the same thing from ten different sources, your brain does something TOTALLY RATIONAL... it registers confirmation. Five witnesses describing the same event is better evidence than one. This is just how evidence works. The lie, the nefarious, sadistic like... ...is that ALLLLLLLLL your sources were never independent When I discovered this for the first time, it made me want to vomit it was so horrifying. The convergence I took as proof of truth was only proof of a shared bias. The most nefarious part of all is that the media doesn't try to convince you of an outright lie. Outright lies are often detectable. What's far more effective, what's essentially invisible until the moment it isn't, is SELECTION. The stories they choose to run. Which deaths become national tragedy and which aren't even told. Which government failures get a monster investigative series and which get 1 sentence. Which protests are worthy and which are dangerous. Which experts are credible and which are fringe. My dad, my friends at the gym don't want to dive deep into these stories, they have 5 minutes and are just trying to live a normal life… trusting that if something is TRULY important, someone will tell them. The legacy media know this. That's why they make sure you never hear the truth. Once you see that, you can't unsee it. It changes everything.

This is the kind of headline you read and your mind just refuses to believe it. You assume there must be some exaggeration or misinformation, or some nuanced fact is being exploited to paint an inaccurate picture. Because surely it cant be this, right? Surely theres no way a 20 y/o man could have his sentence overturned because it wasnt established at his trial whether he "thought he was having consensual sex with a 10 y/o". But then you read the article (article 🔗'd in reply) and thats literally what it is. This is what makes ppl think our leaders hate us, this is what deligitimizes the Liberal project in many people's minds. Like many liberal-minded people of my generation, I grew up believing that progressivism promised a better way, a more fair and just world, where people really WERE judged by the content of their character and not the color of their skin. When I see stuff like this, i cannot help but think something is deeply wrong with the state of the modern Left. After all, to paraphrase the psycho from No Country For Old Men: "If the liberalism you followed brought you to this....of what use was your liberalism?"

An Iranian girl speaks : Imagine India today. So diverse, so alive, different religions, different languages, different ways of life, all existing together. Hindus, Christians, Muslims, Sikhs, Jains, Parsis. And now imagine this. One day, overnight, a new regime comes and says, from today, in this beautiful diverse country, only one religion is allowed. Doesn't matter what you believe in, it doesn't matter how you were raised, you either follow this religion or youre punished. The people of Iran didn't want this. So when Iranians speak up, protest, or cry for help, this is what they're fighting against. A regime that kills people for their different beliefs. A regime that turned a prosperous, rich in minerals country into a mess with no electricity, no work, lowest currency in the world, and a forever mourning nation. For you @sardesairajdeep This is why Hindus are celebrating.

I’m an Iranian woman who grew up under morality police. I was told as a girl: “Show your hair → go to hell. Show your hair → get lashes. Show your hair → get killed like Mahsa Amini.” I escaped. I came West. I finally had a voice. Then liberals who have never spent a single day under Sharia law told me to use it quietly. “That’s Islamophobia.” Phobia means irrational fear. For years we warned you about the morality police. You didn’t listen. “We were there. Where were you?” #BillMaher

🇮🇷 47 years ago, I stood at a window in Tehran as a 3-year-old boy, smelling burning tires and hearing the chants that would steal my country. I didn’t have words for what was happening. Today, I am watching smoke rise over the same city — but this time the smoke is not the end of Iran. It is, God willing, the beginning of her resurrection. Several weeks ago I wrote in that the fever of 1979 was finally breaking. I never imagined I would wake up to see that fever confronted so directly. Israel — with the clear support of the United States — has launched a preemptive strike deep into Tehran and against the regime’s military machinery. Explosions in the capital. Military targets hit. The IRGC’s aura of invincibility, already cracked, is shattering in real time. I do not celebrate war. No decent person does. What I celebrate — what millions of Iranians inside the country and in the diaspora have prayed for in secret for decades — is the possibility that a regime which has no right to exist may finally be forced to go. This is the same regime that: - Armed and cheered the October 7 massacre against Israel for no reason other than pure genocidal hatred. - Murdered tens of thousands of its own sons and daughters who dared to walk peacefully in the streets demanding the most basic freedoms. - Gouges out the eyes of young women for the “crime” of wearing makeup. - Hangs teenagers from cranes for posting a tweet. - Exports terror, poverty, and darkness to every corner it can reach including the U.S. No nation, no people, should have to live under that. Not Israelis. Not Americans. Not Lebanese. Not Syrians. And certainly not Iranians. I am a physician who has spent his life trying to heal bodies and a son of Iran who has spent his life mourning a stolen homeland. What we are witnessing is not aggression — it is surgery. Painful, necessary surgery to remove a tumor that has metastasized for 47 years. The tumor is the Islamic Republic that has hijacked Iran. To the brave pilots and special operators of the Israeli Air Force and the men and women of the United States military now carrying out this mission: I pray for you with everything I have. May God shield you from harm. May every missile find its target and every soldier return home safely to the families who love them. You are not invaders. You are the answer to the prayers of millions who have whispered “enough” in the dark since 1979. You are giving our friends the chance to breathe free air again. The entire region will owe you a peace we have not known in my lifetime. To my fellow Iranians watching from inside the country right now, heart pounding, maybe hiding in basements or on rooftops: Hold on. The end is clearer than it has ever been. The regime’s fear is real. Their eyes — those same eyes that once stared down at us with absolute power — now show something they haven’t shown in decades: panic. The math has changed. The window of 1979 is finally closing. To the little three-year-old boy I once was — and to every little boy and girl in Tehran, Isfahan, Shiraz, and Tabriz today who hears explosions instead of lullabies: This time the sounds are not the closing of a door. They are the opening of one. The road ahead will not be easy. Transitions never are. But the direction is unmistakable. A secular, prosperous, free Iran is no longer a dream — it is becoming an inevitability. I have lived the stolen life so that others might not have to. Today, for the first time in 47 years, I allow myself to believe that the stealing is almost over. Thank you, Israel. Thank you, America. The Iranian people — the real Iran — will never forget. The fever is breaking. The dawn of 2026 is here. And this time, the light wins. 🇮🇷❤️🇮🇱🇺🇸

For those of us born in the West, we don’t even know what it means Because our ancestors were the ones who celebrated it But them, just imagine them, born under a regime And to smell the scent of freedom 🦋 IRAN 🇮🇷🔥

Bill Maher fires back at Billie Eilish and leftist “kids” who “don’t know what the f*ck” America is about. “I want to… say something about Western civilization. Kids, you don’t know what the f*ck it is.” “They think Western means white—and white means bad. First of all, everything bad that white people did, people of color did it, too. The Japanese before World War II and during World War II. And Genghis Khan, and I could go on and on.” “The left is very down on America, very down on the West. And it’s ironic because the West has also given us everything that makes your life good here. Don’t ask Billie Eilish or Chappell Roan about what the Western values are, because they’ll just say it’s about oppression.” “But it’s not about oppression. It’s about rule of law. It’s about respect for minorities. It’s about democracy. It’s about scientific inquiry. These are all good things that came from the Western world. I wish that schools would teach that again.”

@simonjgillett Following.

A huge thank you to all my new followers, I think I've followed each of you patriots back, let me know if not 🫡 We can do this 👍 #RupertLowe #RestoreBritain

The Senate must: (1) proceed to the SAVE America Act immediately, and (2) require filibustering senators to speak If senators want to filibuster this bill, they should have to earn it—by speaking Share if you agree—and encourage your senators to get on board!

The Left is wrong about the Right—and many of you are so emotionally charged that you can’t see what’s truly at stake. You claim conservatives can’t be Christians because we “don’t care.” That we hate immigrants. That we despise the poor. That we’re indifferent to suffering. That we’re acting contrary to the Bible. That’s not reasoning. That’s caricature. It’s far easier to demonize than to engage. We are NOT indifferent to suffering. We are NOT okay with children being exploited. We are NOT fine with families in crisis. But here is what you refuse to acknowledge: Secure borders are not hatred—they are responsibility. Law and order are not oppression—they are protection. A functioning nation is not cruelty—it is the foundation for any real compassion. A nation without borders descends into chaos. And chaos always devastates the poor first. You cannot sustain compassion without structure. You cannot extend mercy without stability. We do not believe government is humanity’s savior. We believe its proper role is to protect individual rights, defend the borders, and preserve liberty—not to supplant the Church, the family, or personal responsibility. You say we don’t care about feeding the hungry? Christians fed the hungry long before federal welfare existed. Hospitals? Largely founded by the Church. Food pantries, orphan care, disaster relief? Driven by believers and faith-based organizations. The Salvation Army never waited for a congressional appropriation to serve the needy. True compassion was never outsourced to the state. Here is the real divide: You believe compassion must be legislated. We believe it must be lived. You believe virtue can be coerced. We believe virtue must be chosen. When you grant government unlimited power in the name of “helping people,” you do not get compassion. You get bureaucracy, dependency, corruption, and control. Stop weaponizing empathy to shut down disagreement. Stop labeling anyone who rejects your policy prescriptions as “heartless.” We want: Safe neighborhoods Legal, orderly immigration Strong families Vibrant, faithful churches Local solutions Personal accountability We absolutely want to help people—but we reject the notion that the only way to do so is to endlessly expand centralized power. That is not compassion. That is control wearing compassion’s mask. Many of you are so politically emotional that you can no longer distinguish the two. Be clear-headed. Stop reacting out of feeling alone. Start thinking about long-term consequences. Because if you keep trading liberty for momentary emotional comfort, the future you wake up to will not be kind.

Happy Presidents Day to Hillary Clinton. Wait, nevermind lol

Unrealized gains tax for Gen-Z: You buy a Pokémon card for $50. Someone offers you $500 for it. You say no. You love that card. You're keeping it. The government says: "Cool, but that card is worth $500 now. You owe us $100 in taxes." You: "…I didn't sell it." Government: "Don't care. Pay up." You don't have $100 lying around. So you're forced to sell the card you love just to pay a tax on money you never received. Next month? That card drops back to $50. Your card is gone. Your money is gone. And the government shrugs. That's a wealth tax on unrealized gains. They don't pay you back the tax... Now picture this. Your mom calls you crying. She has to sell the house she raised you in. Not because she can't afford it. She's lived there 30 years. It's paid off. But some website says it's worth more now and the government says she owes $15,000 she doesn't have. So she sells your childhood home. The kitchen where she made you breakfast. The doorframe where she marked your height every birthday. Gone. To pay a tax on money that was never real. Now picture the opposite. Your dad put everything into his small business. For 20 years he built it from nothing. One year the business is "valued" at $2 million on paper. He owes a massive tax bill. He empties his savings. Sells his truck. Borrows money. Pays it. Next year the market crashes. His business is worth $200,000. He lost everything to pay a tax on a number that doesn't exist anymore. Does the government give him his money back? No. Does the government give him his truck back? No. Does the government care? No. They sold this idea as "taxing billionaires." But billionaires have armies of lawyers, offshore accounts, and trusts. They'll be fine. You know who won't be fine? Your mom. Your dad. Your neighbor with a small business. The farmer down the road who's had the same land for four generations and now has to sell it because dirt got expensive. You're not taxing wealth. You're taxing people for owning things. It's like getting a parking ticket for a car you might drive somewhere someday. They want you to own nothing and be happy. To fund the fraud, waste and abuse of the welfare state they created. There is enough money. More tax isn't needed. It's all a lie. But you've been gaslit into believing this is a rich vs poor debate. I hope you understand what's at stake.

I wonder if it's because sanctuary cities didn't exist and the opposition didn't tell citizens ICE was gestapo 🤔

@DerrickEvans4WV So, lets say, for example, we had a bunch of imigrations laws... Would a rule-based order enforce those? Like Trump. Or ignore them? Like the Democrats.

@GuntherEagleman We keep hearing this stuff. Where are the arrests? Where are the trials? Where are the convictions?

🚨 WTF! Health Sec. RFK Jr. just EXPOSED another California scam straight from Gavin Newsom’s backyard! Found a hotel where EVERY SINGLE ROOM was listed as the “headquarters” for a nursing group. Every. Room. “They aren’t actually doing nursing care. They just collect money!” UNENDING fraud under Newsom’s watch, fake businesses, fake HQs, fake everything… all to suck up taxpayer cash and insurance payouts. This is what happens when you let a criminal scumbag run the state.
