Fantastic fun!
The effective way the clarinet player does a musical call and response to the singer is just mesmerizing. "Tu vuo' fa' l'americano" by Renato Carosone: cover by Hetty and the Jazzato Band, an Anglo-Italian jazz quintet.

Proof that Mel Brooks is a prophetic genius: He accurately predicted the topics of Tucker Carlson's podcast almost 50 years ago.

The Left wants the mantle of affordability, but their “solutions” just double down on big government. Affordability 101 has real solutions to lower costs through consumer choice, energy, work, building, competition, tax reform, trade, spending restraint, sound money & oversight.
FIRST on Fox: @AmericanFreedom releases Affordability 101, a how-to guide for Congress to restore affordability and deliver lower prices for American families. ✍️ @kieramcd732 @amanda_m_macias

This is a very, very important piece by @EWErickson, and I'm grateful to him for putting it together. Please read it. It's Weimar America stuff, for sure. I should add something Erick wasn't aware of: the VPOTUS and I have reconciled privately. ewerickson.substack.com/p/th…

Great Report by AAF’s @malcolm_john
🚨Environmental activists are now pushing to criminally prosecute energy executives for murder or manslaughter over climate-related deaths. In his latest report, AAF’s @JohnMalcolm explains why such prosecutions would undermine fundamental principles of criminal law and the rule of law.

So, an oligarch who controls major Russian gambling and automotive assets paid a six figure sum for a post-wedding party in the Bahamas as a gift to the son and daughter-in-law of the President of the United States. Do I have that right? If so, do the President and his family not see how bad this looks? Republicans (I'm one) would be up in arms if a gift like this were accepted by the immediate family of a Democrat serving as President of the United States. Even if we were to accept for the sake of argument the unlikely proposition that Umar Krelev is not buying influence, the appearance of impropriety is glaring. Is there no one in or near the President's family who will say, "no, this kind of thing is not appropriate--we'll pay for our own post-wedding party"?

It was hard talking my feelings on 9/11 even 25 years later.
25 years after 9/11, @AmericanFreedom staff reflect and share their personal stories from that dreadful day. We remember those we lost, honor the heroes who stepped forward, and carry their legacy of courage and hope forward. We will never forget 🇺🇸
