Under my leadership, @CivilRights will not stand by while governors attempt to strip their constituents of their Second Amendment rights. We will actively defend those rights and ensure they are fully protected!

In the sweltering chaos of 1967, 24 year old Army nurse Judy Hartline Elbring stepped off a plane into the hell of Vietnam, volunteering for a war most Americans wanted to forget. Assigned to the 67th Evacuation Hospital near Qui Nhon and later An Khe and Chu Lai-she plunged into endless shifts of triage, where the screams of burned and shattered young soldiers filled the air and the stench of napalm clung to everything. She held the hands of dying boys barely out of high school, whispering comfort so they would not leave this world alone, because "too many of them died alone, and that's just not right!" When her own Marine brother was wounded, she volunteered for a brutal second tour and was airlifted to his side to nurse him back from the edge of death. For two full years she carried the weight of unimaginable suffering with quiet courage, then came home to silence, hostility, and nightmares that never fully faded. Judy Hartline Elbring spent the rest of her life quietly honoring the fallen and fighting for recognition of the women who served until April 15, 2022, when this extraordinary Army nurse, at age 79, finally laid down her burden and passed away in Santa Rosa, California.

Tennessee Republicans Pass Bill Allowing Lethal Force for Protection of Property This should be the case for every US household. Every American should be able yo use deadly force to protect their family and property. This is a great deterrent against home invasions and robberies. It's a no-brainer, actually. 😉 But of course the left sides with the criminals. 🙄 From the article: Republicans in Tennessee’s House and Senate passed legislation this week allowing the use of lethal force to protect property. WKRN reported that the legislation passed with Republican votes amid Democrat opposition. The House bill was HB1802 and the Senate bill was SB1847. WSMV noted that if Gov. Bill Lee (R) signs the legislation into law it means “property owners will be allowed to use deadly force to prevent someone from attempted or actual trespass, arson, damage to property, including damage to livestock, burglary, theft, robbery, or aggravated cruelty to animals.” House sponsor, state Rep. Kip Capley (R), said, “Do we trust law-abiding citizens or do we side with the criminals that prey upon them? Because right now, under current law, if someone is breaking into your property, if they’re stealing from you, if they’re destroying what you’ve worked your entire life to build, you’re expected to wait. You’re expected to hesitate. You’re expected to second-guess and take a calculated look at defending what’s yours. HB 1802 simply says, ‘If someone is destroying your property, that you can use lethal force to protect it.'” Legislation regarding use of force in protection of property passed in the Tennessee Senate on April 21 and in the Tennessee House on April 23. It does contain the caveat that lethal force cannot be used if the perpetrator has his back to the property owner. Link to article in comments

To me, contracts like these prove that this is human trafficking and nothing else. Human beings – children, to be precise – are treated like easily replaceable products, like lifestyle accessories.

“Sex with WILLING CHILDREN” Read that again. There is NO such thing as a WILLING CHILD having sex with an ADULT. It is the RAPE of a child. FULL STOP. Children CANNOT consent.

@trevoraaronson @theintercept Oh man, a nearly 50 year old man got dinged for public intoxication when he was in college over two decades ago. You really got him Trev, this is great work

Let's start with Tate Adamiak who was sentenced to a decade in a cage for possession of a RPG he didn't have and machine guns he didn't have. Again - didn't have. Videos with all the details are up on my channel but if anyone deserves a pardon, it's Tate.... #Pardon

How many of yall are actually “burn a CD” old?

The Assisted Dying Bill has failed. And I am so glad. I’ve suffered with an eating disorder throughout my life. When I was 15, I was dangerously underweight. On an IV drip in hospital. My organs on the brink of failing. If I had been given the ‘choice’ to die, I would have taken it. MPs removed the parts of the Assisted Dying Bill that were meant to safeguard against coercion and protect vulnerable people. Assisted suicide isn’t only done “when the patient wants it”. Look no further than the countries that have already legalised it. In Spain, a girl who was gang raped and attempted to kill herself was offered euthanasia. She reportedly wanted to back out, but her organs had “already been reserved”. In the Netherlands, 40% of euthanasia deaths occur without patient consent. In Canada, it has been offered to Paralympians who asked for a mobility aid. If it happened there, it would happen here too. People would be killed against their will. The disabled. The mentally ill. Abuse victims. All have been killed by the State under the guise of “compassion”. When you are as mentally ill as I was then, you will do everything in your power to convince those around you that you are well enough to make your own decisions. When your organs are shutting down and every course of treatment has “failed” to fix you, death becomes an attractive option. If I had been given the choice to die, I would’ve taken it. No questions asked. And that’s why the Assisted Dying Bill terrified me. Because when you’re that mentally unwell, you don’t see hope. You see pain, and you want it to end. You’ll do anything to convince the people around you that you’re “of sound mind.” You’ll say whatever it takes to be left alone. But behind those words is an illness doing the talking. If this bill had existed when I was 15, I might not be here. Not because it was the right choice, but because I was sick and exhausted and desperate. I didn’t need a legal route to die. I needed someone to fight for me when I couldn’t. It tells people like the girl I was that death is the easiest option — to relieve your family, the NHS, and yourself of the burden of caring for you — instead of showing them that life can be worth the fight. I survived. I got better. But I may not have. Not if the law had made dying seem easier than recovering. The Assisted Dying Bill didn’t protect people like me. It wrote us off. It was abandonment dressed up as mercy. And I thank God that it failed.

Former Delta Force B and D Squadron dog handler Sergeant Major (Retired) Jeremy Knabenshue and his Military Working Dog, Weblo. Weblo started his life as a beaten down Belgian Malinois from Holland that flinched at every sudden movement. In Jeremy's hands, he would become one of the most decorated combat K9s in modern U.S. Special Operations history. Together, the pair deployed seven times to Iraq and Afghanistan alongside America's Tier 1 operators. On Halloween night 2007, Weblo was shot through the abdomen while clearing a building in Iraq. Jeremy was the only man on target carrying a K9 first aid kit. He treated Weblo in the dirt under fire, saved his life, and watched his partner make a full recovery and return to duty. Weblo went on to save countless American lives across multiple deployments, once catching an enemy combatant hiding in wait with an AK-47 at a breach point, something no operator or aircraft above had spotted. Weblo retired in 2012 and lived out his days as a family protector. On March 8, 2016, Jeremy gave him a final helicopter ride over the airfield, the wind in his fur one last time, before letting him go peacefully. Warriors come in all shapes and sizes. Some of them have four legs.

Nothing says "stay home for the midterms" like @SenateGOP continuing to fund pediatric sex changes with my money.

Atx mayor Watson here pushing a new Bond/tax increase saying they want to learn from past mistakes. He tried to increase taxes last year & voters rejected so apparently he does not learn from mistakes. Austin doesn’t want/need any new tax increases that tax people out of homes.

Today marks the 46th Anniversary of our attempts to rescue 53 American hostages from the Embassy in Tehran. We tried, but the odds were stacked against us. The details are in my book, but today, I ask you to remember the fallen, the eight brave men we lost during that mission. Recently, Mike Ritland @MRitland asked me if there’s a quote that has significance for me. I paraphrased one from Ernest Hemingway: “It’s said that a warrior dies two deaths, the first on the battlefield, the second the last time their name is spoken.” I’m honored to say their names. 1st SOW Air Force personnel that was killed:  MAJ Richard L. Bakke, age 34, Long Beach, CA, MAJ Harold L. “Hal” Lewis, Jr., age 35, Mansfield, CT, MAJ Lyn D. McIntosh, age 33, Valdosta, GA, CAPT Charles T. McMillan II, age 28, Corrytown, TN, and Tech. Sgt. Joel C. Mayo, age 34, Bonifay, FL.  Marine Air Group 26, Marine personnel that were killed:  SSgt Dewey L. Johnson, age 31, Jacksonville, NC, SGT John D. Harvey, age 21, Roanoke, VA, and CPL George N. Holmes, Jr., age 22, Pine Bluff, AR.
