@BradOnMessage @NanHayworth Harrumph!

A proposal from the GOP to my Democrat operative friends: give us all the plumbers and electricians and you can have all the comedians and Hollywood screenwriters. Deal?

@AlbertBrooks Top 5 movie.

Defending Your Life was released 35 years ago today!! I think I've conquered at least half of my fears.

At Chuck Norris's funeral, he'll carry the pallbearers.

@AOC @RameshPonnuru I disagree with you on 999 out of 1,000 issues, but this is not one of them.

This is sad. I know as a politician these companies are going to spend a billion dollars against me for saying it but 🤷🏽‍♀️ Pervasive gambling is not good for society. It turns life into a casino, traps people in addiction & debt, surges domestic violence, and fosters manipulation.

This is CNN.

@deaninserra If it’s “America The Beautiful,” it’s gotta be the Ray Charles version.

Is it a hot take to think our national anthem should be “America The Beautiful,” or “God Bless America?” Maybe something that mentions America? Am I woke? Don’t answer that, online bros. 😂

Let's see: US and Israeli warplanes range freely over Iran, having hit thousands of targets, and are hitting more every day. The Iranian leadership has been taken out. Its new leader cannot or will not show his face. Its air defenses have been ineffective, destroyed or both. Its navy is largely gone. So It has now effectively blocked ship traffic through the Strait of Hormuz, a waterway vital to its own economy. US media would have you believe Iran has turned the tide in the war because blocking the strait never occurred to US war planners. You can choose to believe this. I don't.

Here’s Michelle Obama serving ribeyes to troops as part of a surf and turf meal that has been military tradition since WWII, but mainstream press has suddenly decided is a “gotcha” for some reason.

There have now been four jihadist attacks on the US homeland in the last two weeks & our Dept of Homeland Security remains shut down by Congressional Democrats, as a protest against enforcing federal immigration law. Just today, 46 of 47 Senate Dems voted to keep DHS closed.

When the left says we can’t have religion involved in politics, they really just mean Christianity.

If you want to know why Donald Trump was elected, watch Barack Obama’s attack speech yesterday at Jesse Jackson’s funeral. As he did throughout his presidency, he created a straw man to describe Republicans as bigots who force the American people to “turn on each other”. He said similar crap when he was President and the GOP was the party of Bush, McCain and Romney. It’s the language of bitterness and resentment that makes good people recoil to be described that way. Obama is one of the most divisive figures in US history, except he is celebrated by the MSM because they are partisans. They take sides and loved and protected Obama. It’s no wonder a tough, no BS, bull in the China shop emerged. That person was a fed up Trump, who broke the MSM by not caring what they thought. He showed Rs they could punch back against the Ds and win. His rise coincided with the welcome birth, at long last, of conservative media which gave voice to the voiceless who had been forced to consume the prejudices of the MSM. I can’t stand Obama. He was weak, patronizing, condescending and he put America last. But having listened to him yesterday, I reminded the only good thing he did was help elect President Trump.

As a guy who has been around for a while, allow me to explain what has happened. The truth is that peace is purchased in installments, it can be leased, but it cannot be permanently bought. There will never be lasting peace until the return of the King. People of the Book understand this. In the meantime, because the hearts of men are so wicked, countries must take actions that secure peace for periods of time. And that is what the most responsible and powerful countries have done throughout history. That is what the United States has done now. We don’t know if Iran will now become a more responsible country with some level of freedom, or if a new group of evil men will take over. But either way, these bastards will no longer be the top sponsors of terror world wide. They are dead, and the capabilities of Iran are now vanquished for years to come. Whether you like or hate Donald Trump, he and the American military have done a great service to the civilized world. Many of you will never appreciate or understand this. I’m sorry for you.

Iran just fired missiles at five countries simultaneously. Here is what actually happened to each of them. Bahrain. Confirmed hit on the US Navy Fifth Fleet headquarters. Bahrain’s own state news agency reported the strike. No casualty figures released yet. This is the command center for every American naval operation in the Persian Gulf. It was struck. UAE. Multiple missiles intercepted by Emirati air defenses. One civilian killed in Abu Dhabi from falling debris. The UAE defense ministry confirmed the intercepts. The Emirates just absorbed an act of war on its sovereign territory from a country it shares a maritime border with. Qatar. Missile intercepted. Zero damage. The Qatari Interior Ministry confirmed. The same country Iran just attacked is the country that hosted Al Udeid for twenty years as a gesture of regional balance. That balance ended this morning. Kuwait. KUNA state news agency confirmed missiles were “dealt with” in Kuwaiti airspace. No reported damage. Kuwait, which stayed neutral through every Gulf crisis since 1991, just had Iranian ballistic missiles flying over its cities. Jordan. Two Iranian ballistic missiles shot down by Jordanian military. Confirmed by the Jordanian armed forces directly. Jordan intercepted Iranian missiles in June 2025 as well. That was in defense of Israel. This time Iran targeted Jordan itself. Saudi Arabia. Fars News claims strikes. No confirmation from any Saudi source. No Tier 1 or Tier 2 verification. Either it did not happen or Riyadh is not yet ready to say it did. Both possibilities carry enormous implications. Now understand what Iran just accomplished strategically. In attempting to retaliate against Israel and America, the IRGC fired missiles at six sovereign nations in a single morning. Not one of those nations attacked Iran. Bahrain did not bomb Tehran. The UAE did not launch strikes on Isfahan. Qatar hosted diplomatic back channels. Kuwait maintained neutrality for three decades. Jordan was mediating. Iran just converted every neutral and semi-neutral state in the Gulf into a potential co-belligerent. Every nation whose airspace was violated, whose civilians were killed, whose sovereignty was breached now has legal and political justification to join whatever coalition forms next. And the damage tells the real story. One civilian dead from debris. Intercepts across four countries. No confirmed destruction of any US military asset. No reported American casualties among 40,000 troops in theater. Iran fired at the entire Gulf and the Gulf caught almost everything. Compare this to what Israel did to Tehran this morning. Precision strikes on the IRGC Intelligence Directorate. Explosions near the Supreme Leader’s office. Three detonations in central Tehran confirmed by Iranian state media itself. One side hit what it aimed at. The other side hit one civilian with debris. This is the asymmetry that will define the next 72 hours. Iran demonstrated intent to strike everywhere and capability to hit almost nothing. The Gulf states demonstrated they can defend themselves. And now those states must decide whether the country that just fired ballistic missiles across their borders gets to do it again. They will not let it happen again. Watch for the joint statement. Watch for airspace coordination between Riyadh, Abu Dhabi, Manama, and Kuwait City. Watch for the coalition that Iran just built against itself with a single salvo. Iran did not retaliate against Israel this morning. Iran gave every country in the Middle East a reason to retaliate against Iran.

Back in 2012, MSNBC attacked an American hockey player for choosing not to visit the White House under Obama, arguing White House visits for champions were standard & not the time to play politics. Now the entire Democrat party argues the exact opposite:

In a world full of Megan Rapinoes, be a Jack Hughes

If you’re born and raised n Nebraska you gotta go live somewhere else for awhile to really appreciate it

Our statement below was purposefully excluded from this story by the AJC. Since they have no interest in reporting the facts, we will do it for them — "Rather than run down whether Rick Jackson is the likely funder of a $15 million subversion of Georgia ethics laws, with subpoenas flying, this is what the AJC is investigating? Is this because Rick Jackson is buying every available ad on your website?”

BREAKING: The CEO of IKEA has just been elected Prime Minister of Sweden. He should have his cabinet together by the end of the weekend.

And yet you wonder why you lost $100 million last year…
