Until Senate Republicans publicly announce they want a leadership change, we must assume that ALL of them back Majority Leader Thune's decision to sabotage President Trump's agenda. We don't need keyboard warriors. We need action.

Attention Kentuckians: There is an alternative to ‘the establishment’ for the Senate seat up for grabs.
Michael Faris@faris4senate_ky

Maybe my expectations for government are too high. But, there is reasoning for that. In my industry, the maintenance manual is paramount in maintaining an airworthy machine. There is always an answer. It’s very black and white. It is either good, or it is bad. There are very defined limits. There are precise tolerances. The job requires much attention to detail. Most of what is not guaranteed to be good or bad, requires an experienced technician to use their judgment. What is judgment? It can be defined in many ways, but when I think of judgment, I think of it being a decision you make based on what you’ve seen happen before. You’ve trended it. Maybe in the log book there is a repeat discrepancy. Maybe over several different airframes owned by different customers, they are seeing very similar issues. The book doesn’t tell you how to handle those things. It is written for a perfect world scenario. The in-between is a decision made by an individual with extensive knowledge of what happens if you neglect the middle ground and what the machine is telling you. It’s writing its own story. It’s telling you what it doesn’t like, based on how it’s been treated. Let’s be honest, nothing is ever perfect. Not even aviation. But, you can strive for 99.9 percent. This is something your government is not doing. This is why I feel more than qualified to represent you. I posses the attention to detail. I have the integrity to defend you, even when it’s doesn’t benefit me the most. I’ve done it many many times in the last 20 years. Actually, I’ve lost several jobs over it. But, I still go home and sleep peacefully at night. I know good and bad. But, it’s the middle ground you have to worry about. What will your representative do when the call is tough and they are required to use their judgement? Will they abandon you and your rights for their self enrichment or an accolade to make themselves look better? Remember the machine theory? Think of the machine as your government. The constitution is the manual. There is good and there is bad. But, the story your government is telling you, requires a judgment call. Sometimes it requires a tough decision. The representatives are what we have trended. It’s telling us what is wrong with it. We know how to fix it, but will we have the courage to step up, go the extra mile and take on the task while the machine is already down for other repairs? The call is yours. You know what to do, because you’ve read the manual. You’ve trended the issue, and it keeps repeating itself. The answer is clear. In fact, it could not be more clear. The only way to fix it now, is to replace the problem part (your politicians). It’s a tough job. No one wants to do it. It’s the worst job on the machine. But, it has to be done. May 19th is the day that you return your government to being worthy. The day you tell the machine that it is (wo)Man who built it, and it is (wo)Man who will see that it is properly restored. America First, Michael James Faris! 🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸

WHEN DID WE BECOME THE LEFT? “When I was going through my hell, only two elected members of congress took my phone call- @mtgreenee and @laurenboebert. MTG visited J6ers in prison, was the only congressperson to sponsor the Matthew Perna Bill- named after the J6er who committed suicide, and she prayed with me while the media took pictures of us and mocked us. Now a directive has gone out that she’s a traitor- and if you want to be in the in crowd, you must hate her, too. When did we become tribal, mean, and hive-minded?”

@KYCooperrider Neither Barr nor Morris is a true conservative. They’re opportunists. Geez, Morris is a globalist. Interesting how the GOP and CPAC are trying not to give @faris4senate_ky a platform. Maybe because he’s an independent thinker, not just a Trump yes-man.

Andrew Cooperrider@KYCooperrider·
CPAC just endorsed Nate Morris in the hotly contested GOP primary to replace Mitch McConnell. Morris told me: “I’m honored to be the only true conservative in this race and to have received the endorsement from CPAC.” This adds to Morris’s impressive list of endorsements, especially considering relatively few Kentuckians knew who he was when the race first started. Morris has received endorsements and support from the late Charlie Kirk, Vivek Ramaswamy, Sen. Bernie Moreno, and a major $10 million boost from Elon Musk. When I spoke with Rep. Andy Barr’s campaign, they fired back: “Andy Barr is the true conservative in this race, and his endorsements prove it. Barr has earned over 160 major endorsements—more than all of his Republican and Democrat opponents combined,” including statewide officials, 11 State Senators, 23 State Representatives, 26 County Judge/Executives, DHS Secretary Markwayne Mullin, Rep. Hal Rogers, over 115 Members of Congress, and Riley Gaines. Is the CPAC endorsement a game changer? I don’t think so on its own, but it is impressive how little-known Morris was before this race and how quickly he’s raking in some big-name endorsements.

@wendyp4545 It’s fascinating today to see how many ‘conservatives’ seem to despise the Constitution and its principles. Either that or they are utterly ignorant of the them. Rand Paul and Massie are hated for their adherence to these principles. Sad.

@FrankLuntz Maybe the government should stop choking us slowly to de*th with incredibly high taxes to fund their fraud, pet projects to bring in the entire world and support them off our backs, insane research projects so we can afford kids. Just a thought.

@SharylAttkisson The chicken pox vaccine wasn’t around when I was a kid. Yes, I got chicken pox. Decades later got a case of Shingles. It was horrible. Awful. Never want to experience that again. I happily got the Shingles vaccine. No regrets. Not every vaccine is bad or a conspiracy.

Did you know that Shingles incidence doubled after Chicken Pox vaccine was introduced in 1995 (**though makers insist there's no relationship)? Wouldn't it be something if Chicken Pox vaccine increases risk for Shingles in others thru shedding of the live vaccine virus or other means? And then, wouldn't it be something if the same company that invented the Chicken Pox vaccine (that allegedly was part of increasing Shingles incidence) later invented the Shingles vaccine...also using live virus? And then, wouldn't it be something if nearly 2,000 lawsuits claimed that Shingles vaccine actually gave some people Shingles, or a more severe, painful, or treatment-resistant form of Shingles? So: the same company that invented Chicken Pox vaccine would then have profited on the other end by forcing the "need" for Shingles vaccine. That Shingles vaccine was pulled from the market in 2020 due to a "more effective" Shingles vaccine being approved.

@GoldenAgeTimes2 @thewriterme Yes, we can. And, yes, we do. If adhering to Constitutional principles and standing for liberty makes one America last with today’s GOP, then I’ll be in that category with Massie and our Founding Fathers. I’ll be in good company. #ConstitutionFirst is America First.

🚨 LOL: Rand Paul SHILLS HARD for Thomas Massie: "You can like Donald Trump & Thomas Massie, because they represent a lot of the same things [...] if you want a rubber stamp, we can just have AI." No, Rand, you can't. You can't vote for & support President Trump's agenda while simultaneously supporting the one Congressman trying his hardest to stop it." They also don't represent the same things, either. President Trump is America First, & Massie is America Last while voting with The Squad. This is peak desperation! 🤣🤡

@Chicago1Ray Massie. Reading the comments, it is interesting how ignorant some of the comments are and how little people try to understand what Massie stands for. This is why our country is in the state it’s in. This is why it won’t improve.

The Kentucky Derby was something I heard about all my life from a distance. Now I work for the company sponsoring it. Horse racing is an utterly fascinating sport. Replaced football as my favorite sport. Love rooting for the horses competing to Run for the Roses!
