@shegone03 No need to rank beyond the first three. IMO.

A!!! And it’s not particularly close. #shegone

Listening to Hillary Clinton and Bernie Sanders talk about fixing America is like listening to two lunatics trying to "out crazy" one another. [All candidates besides Trump] are owned lock, stock, and barrel by the bankers, corporations, and big dollar donors funding their campaigns. Bush can deny it, but common sense tells anyone willing to face facts is that people don't give tens of millions without expecting something in return. We have had Democrats and Republican ideologues and what has it brought us? Are we better off today or worse off? Has it happened overnight or has it been a steady decline brought on by both parties? I submit that a pragmatist is just what America needs right now. People are quick to confuse and despise confidence as arrogance, but that is common among those who have never accomplished anything in their lives (or politicians who never really solved a problem, because it's better to still have an "issue(s) to be solved," so re-elect me to solve it, (which never happens) and those who have always played it safe (again, all politicians) not willing to risk failure, to try and achieve success). Donald Trump put his total financial empire at risk in running for president and certainly did not need or possibly even want the job; that says it all. He wants success for the U.S. and her citizens because he loves his country.

Just so we are ALL CLEAR on what happened today... Educators and school administrators single-handedly CANCELLED SCHOOL for 700,000 North Carolina students... ...INCLUDING MY SON!!! To wave signs around in the street instead. The signs vary from: a) F**K ICE!!! b) Defeat Trump's Agenda c) Trump is a N*ZI d) ICE OUT!!! e) Protect trans kids f) Refuse fascism g) Stop bombing schools DO NOT TELL ME THIS WAS ABOUT KIDS. IT NEVER WAS. This was ADULTS using 700,000 children, INCLUDING MINE, as political leverage against a president they don't like. That is despicable. You know better... DO BETTER.

@Strandjunker It’s absurd that you imply, incorrectly, that he is withdrawing from Europe. It’s a very small number and an even smaller percentage. We have bases all over the world. NATO must become self-sufficient. We have other priorities.

US troops are not in Germany to protect Germany. They’re there because the US needs bases to conduct operations beyond the North American continent. If Trump withdraws them, he will harm the United States, not Germany. It’s absurd how many Americans fail to grasp this.

A Steve Hilton testimonial. Spread the word. I’ve lived in California, off and on, since 1993. The Air Force sent me here first on an assignment to Travis AFB and I’ve settled down here since. I’m a transplanted Southerner. I love the state, hate the politics. It’s that simple. Then, I had an opportunity to spend some time with @SteveHilton on a few occasions. We’ve had a couple meals together. I’ve gotten to know him. I’m impressed, not only with his intelligence and his grasp on literally everything that affects California but, equally importantly, he’s a great guy. There’s not a single issue you can challenge him on that he won’t have an airtight, conservative plan for. I dare you to find one. He’s the answer for my state. The governor we need! The only answer. He’s bright, he’s prepared, and he’s hilariously funny. He’s 100% real. What you see with Steve, is what you get. And he’s exactly who we need. I wholeheartedly endorse Steve for Governor of California! @SteveHiltonx @TeamSteveHilton

@shegone03 @Rangers I’m sure I was watching. My son is named Ryan. Born in 1993.

Nolan Ryan was something special folks! I was called up by the @Rangers on July 9, 1992. I arrived at Arlington Stadium at 5:30 pm for a 7:05 game. I looked at the lineup and I was leading off playing second base and #34 Nolan Ryan was pitching for us that night. It doesn’t get much better than that #shegone nation!

Virginia Tech’s “this was not an official campus event” dodge is weak. An off-campus party is not an “official campus event” either, but if something dangerous happened there involving students, the university would not shrug and say it had nothing to do with them. This event was held on campus, hosted by students and alumni, aimed at Virginia Tech students, and featured rhetoric designed to radicalize them and normalize political violence. That is a campus safety problem. And personally, considering Virginia Tech has no problem using university resources for all kinds of unnecessary programming — forcing new students through budgeting modules, trans-awareness trainings, body-image lessons, and even creating special housing programs based on identity — it is fair to ask why the university suddenly becomes helpless when students are exposed to extremist messaging on its own campus. The big ask is simple. Virginia Tech should train students to recognize when outside actors are attempting to radicalize them. The easy ask is even simpler. Virginia Tech should do its job and treat this as the public safety issue it clearly is.

@MerlijnTrader Europe is losing the U.S. Big difference.

BREAKING: 🇺🇸🇮🇹 Trump just cut Italy loose. "Italy was not on our side. We will not be on their side. They made their choice." Meloni's response: "Italy cannot be part of any organization where children and women are massacred." Trump's closest European ally. Gone. NATO exit threatened. Spain sanctioned. Now Italy. The U.S. is losing Europe.

@naomirwolf @realBrandonGill In 1936 one of these desperate teenaged young women made the decision to put her newborn son into Foster care, thankfully. She was my paternal grandmother.

What policies do you propose to support desperate 21 year old women find alternatives? Sincere question @realBrandonGill and you can come on my podcast to spell out the policies. So tired of easy pro life clips which are heartrending but which propose no alternatives for desperate young women.

@RosRussell7 @LarryTaunton Weren’t those based on books? I think I read them but I forget the author.

@LarryTaunton If you have time you should watch "The Winds of War" and its sequel, " War and Remembrance " They're phenomenal.

I just watched this film. Excellent. A 1990 TV movie that won 2 Emmys, I’d never heard of it. Have any of you seen it? Regardless, I recommend it.

@Connormuldowney We’re still here appreciating the fact that his tax cuts didn’t expire and admiring him for ending the Iranian nuclear threat, and taking control of Argentinian and Iranian oil.

what happened to all the idiots who voted for trump because of gas prices?

@TraceyRyniec Iran is not getting what they want. This isn’t Obama or Biden. Time is on our side. We, not they, closed the Straight. They need the $$. Choke hold.

@sjohns58 Prices fell last week because many believed the Strait was going to reopen. It did not. And will not until Iran gets what it wants.

the iran war is the first time of trump’s presidency—in either term—that he is responsible for a major economic downturn. i don’t see any capacity (and, for now, even any intent) to turn this around before midterm elections in november.

@TraceyRyniec They were pretty effective in 1945. If the good guys didn’t have them, what do you think would happen? The difference with Iran is religious zealotry. They don’t care if they die.

@sjohns58 There is no legitimate reason for ANYONE to have a nuclear program, is there? The weapon can never be used. It is used solely as a deterrent. To avoid being bombed. Iran has more of a reason to build one than ever now.

@TraceyRyniec What’s being accomplished is historically great and important and benefits the entire Middle East and Europe. Those opposed: Mullahs, China, Russia, America liberals. In favor: Iranian people and everyone else.

@sjohns58 You're right. Nothing is different from last week. The Strait has been closed for 8 weeks now, instead of 7. The shortages worsen every day and the normalization is pushed back further every day the Strait remains shut. Oil market is now finally reflecting the physical reality.

@TraceyRyniec Not anymore. Lol.

@sjohns58 Iran does not have Arab allies.

@TraceyRyniec Ahh. There it is. Your uninformed bias is revealed. If you don’t get it, you don’t get it. As Obama said, there is no legitimate reason for them to have a nuclear program. The agreement was silly and ineffective. Meant only to kick the can down the road.

@sjohns58 We already "obliterated" their nuclear program last June. If he hadn't ripped up the Obama agreement, we would at least be monitoring them right now. But no. Pakistan has nukes and no one is dropping bombs on them. This is why Iran wants them.

@TraceyRyniec Please stop with the theorizing that is never accurate. Nothing is different from a week ago when prices fell. Just perception. Check back tomorrow.

@sjohns58 Um...no, it's not. 70% of the economy is consumer spending. Higher gasoline prices are a tax on the consumer. If it is higher, for longer, it will lead to a recession.

@1Nicdar I had knee replacement and it sounds like my experience was similar to hers. PT was brutal and ineffective. Had to go under again to break up the scar tissue. But hip replacement is much different and much easier. Good luck. You probably don’t have much choice.

So the lady who cuts my hair had knee surgery awhile back and now she has to get additional surgery tomorrow to remove scar tissue. She’s gonna be out for 3 weeks. I have a bad hip, but I’ve read bad things about hip replacements as well. Do these types of surgeries ever end well? My hip bothers me 24-7, but I’m really hesitant about getting anything done.

@TraceyRyniec It’s silly to use the price of gasoline as the sole measure when there is such historically great things happening. Real silly. That’s my point.

@sjohns58 Only the Persians can liberate themselves. In the 250th year of our own independence, haven't we learned yet that it must come from within? And that won't stop $5.00 gasoline.
