The glory of defense and salvation is always only to God's sufficiency and not at all to our own power or worthiness. --Jonathan Edwards

Never forget that the disastrous Jimmy Carter presidency was won by 2 votes per precinct in one state - Ohio. Every vote counts.

Any county recorder can utilize the SAVE database — even in blue states. We’ve already done this in states with democrat governors, like Arizona, Michigan, & Pennsylvania. Yes, we’ve found non-citizen voters.

It's quite astounding how many people are ready to give up and give in by not voting because things didn't turn out the way they wanted it to. He's been in office less than 2 years. Isn't it possible he prevented something worse by holding Iran accountable? I keep thinking about Washington leading 2,400 cold, exhausted, hungry troops across the ice-choked Delaware in the dead of night. Where are those men today? I know some of them are here on X, but we have far too many quitters.

NOBODY tells Americans this part of the story. March 11, 2011. A black, 30-foot wall of ocean swallowed Northeast Japan. Our government froze. The Pentagon had no orders. Communications were dead. You know what Captain Thom Burke and Rear Admiral Robert Girrier did on the USS Ronald Reagan? They didn't wait for the White House. They didn't wait for paperwork. They looked at the TV screen, saw their friend drowning, and committed the ultimate military sin: UNAUTHORIZED ADVANCE. “We’re going. NOW.” They turned the massive nuclear carrier full throttle straight into the disaster zone. Then came the hydrogen explosions at Fukushima. Radiation plumes drifted across the Pacific. Every foreign embassy told their citizens: RUN. The US Embassy ordered an evacuation zone: STAY 50 MILES AWAY. Did the Ronald Reagan turn around? DID YOUR SAILORS RUN? NOT. ONE. INCH. Nineteen-year-old kids from Texas and Ohio stood on a freezing flight deck, radiation detectors in hand, launching helicopters into blizzards. They hovered over submerged rooftops, pulling shivering mothers and babies out of the black water. When Japanese refugees were brought aboard shivering in shock, your sailors gave up their own warm bunks and slept on the cold steel floor. While the rest of the world ran away from Japan, AMERICA CHARGED STRAIGHT INTO THE FIRE. You didn't do it for a treaty. You didn't do it for politicians. You saw your friend bleeding, and you kicked the doors down to save us. Happy 250th, America. Japan will remember your boys forever. 🇺🇸🤝🇯🇵

I’M SCREAMING! The Supreme Court is allowing states to use the SAVE database to verify the eligibility of voters on the rolls. SAVE = Systematic Alien Verification for Entitlements This is a HUGE win for the American people & we will find out if any non-citizens vote this November. Pass the SAVE America Act!

Why do we need 60 votes to kick illegals off Medicaid? It didn’t take 60 votes for them to crash our border & rape our welfare system! Fire the parliamentarian!
🚨 The US Senate just REJECTED the measure to remove 1.4 MILLION illegals from Medicaid, all because Thune REFUSES to fire the Parliamentarian She’s forcing this provision to need 60 VOTES. GROW A SPINE! FIRE HER @Trustintrump47

You wanted “diversity”? You got it. Now we: >can’t agree what a woman is >can’t agree that sneaking across the border is a crime >can’t agree that Western civilization built the modern world instead of looting it >can’t agree that children shouldn’t be murdered >can’t agree that a country has any right to prefer its own people, language, etc. Diversity? Cool experiment right!? We’re so diverse in population and thought that we’ve become objectively retarded. A house divided against itself…. etc etc. It could very well cast us into 1,000 years of darkness. Watching the world burn so demons can rule over the ashes.

The Iranian regime is the largest state sponsor of terrorism in the world & has held that dubious title for many years. It is not just empty words - it means the regime is literally steeped in blood. And that’s before you even talk about the tens of thousands of protestors murdered at home during the recent unrest. Go back further and it becomes hundreds of thousands.
🚨 UPDATE: In a SHOCKING incident, a young Iranian-American tells MI Senate candidate Abdul El-Sayed that his family was hunted and k*lled by the Islamists in Iran — and asks Abdul to CONDEMN the IRGC... ...Abdul refused IN HIS FACE. "WE'RE DYING." "You said you didn't want to comment on Ayatollah Khamenei's death...that silence left a GAPING HOLE IN OUR COMMUNITY. Do you renounce the people that held vigils that supported this TERRORIST? Do you stand against the Islamic Republic of Iran that killed 50,000 protestors? Please!" ABDUL: My worry is when one decides we go in and take out the leadership of foreign government... *word salad against Trump's Iran intervention* STUDENT: YOU STILL HAVEN'T SAID IT. WE'RE DYING. ABDUL: I want to be careful. WHAT IS WRONG WITH THIS GUY?! Abdul is an Islamist...he is MORE WORRIED about upsetting radical Islamic voters so he can win the election than standing with the civilians. You know why? Because he knows that it nets him more votes. If he tries to stand with the Iranian civilians, the Left would paint him as sympathizing with Trump. THAT'S WHAT THIS IS ABOUT. He hates Trump so much he's willing to stand with the IRGC. Vote for Mike Rogers!

I'm writing on this now, but the fascinating point of the Third Country Removal decision from the First Circuit is that all the issues now relied upon to grant the injunction were all raised by Justice Sotomayor in her 20 page dissent, joined by only Justices Kagan and Jackson. That means six Justices opted to let the removals to third countries continue in spite of all the arguments which are now back again in the form of a permanent injunction. If six Justices were not supportive of the District Judge's views before, why does the First Circuit think there is any more support now?
Pending before the U.S. Supreme Court are two cases with preliminary orders that it stayed before the district court entered a permanent injunction that bypassed the stay. (1) Missouri First map; (2) third country deportations. Intrigued to see how the Supreme Court handles both!

Bernie Sanders is pushing AI legislation that he allegedly drafted with consultants from the U.K. Call me crazy, but America probably shouldn’t outsource its AI policy to a country that prosecutes its own citizens for Facebook comments. 🙃🇺🇸
NEW🚨📺: I asked Bernie Sanders if his bill that would sentence people to up to 20 years in prison for breaking AI rules is “extreme.” "If that violation results in the possibility of millions of people dying, do you think that's really terribly radical?" @BernieSanders told me. The penalties would be similar to those found guilty of “unlawfully developing nuclear weapons.”

The complete and total media meltdown over the past few days has been something to behold. It is hard to imagine a more perfect demonstration of the narcissism, entitlement, and petulance that have always defined these people. All that happened was that they lost their workstations inside the White House, yet it has completely consumed them. They have talked about nothing else all week, acting as though someone killed their dog while pushing totally absurd narratives and outright lies.
In Trump’s White House, China’s Dictator Is Welcome. American Media, Less So. nytimes.com/2026/09/24/us/po…

Sophorn Cheang was hired in 2018 by Kate Brown to head up Oregon's DEI office. Her reward? Being handed the keys to Business Oregon to run the state's entire economic development strategy. The results speak for themselves. Under this leadership, Business Oregon has missed its job creation targets in 9 of the past 10 years. 49th ranked state for JOB GROWTH. Instead of fixing the economic strategy, they literally just lowered the targets to pretend they're winning. Meanwhile, businesses are fleeing, and Oregon's unemployment rate sits higher than almost any other state in the country. This is what happens when you put a DEI bureaucrat in charge of a $1B+ economic engine. Decades of unchecked single-party rule have replaced economic competence with ideological posture, and everyday Oregonians are paying the price for a completely stalled pandemic recovery. #OregonPolitics #EconomicFailure @ChristineDrazan @GovTinaKotek @LarsLarsonShow

He was working before sunrise in DC. Plane to New York at 6am. Addressed the world at the UN. Signed the Greenland security deal. Three hours with the Iranians. Hosted Gulf countries for a peace meeting. Met Zelenskyy on Ukraine. Met Venezuela on the oil and minerals deal. Shield of the Americas with other nations. Dinner at the UN. Pull-aside meetings stacked on top of it. Flew back to DC at 1am. Back at work before sunrise. All this man does is work for America. I don’t care what the media or the polls say. I’m proud Trump is my President.

It is unfortunate that people like this woman never experience what they inflict on others. As someone who has been gang-raped, I can say with profound sadness that the thought of women behind bars being subjected to this is traumatic. No court in America sentences anyone to be raped as part of their punishment so we cannot allow this behavior. It should be self evident & it is truly staggering that anyone would try to defend this. I do not understand how so many people have lost their way. This should not be something you look at through a partisan lens - there is no universe where allowing men to prey on women inside a prison is acceptable or moral. These are the actions of an immoral people. And this is not justice - it is cruel & unusual punishment endorsed from the bench by a terrible person who appears to be so ideologically blinded she cannot see the truth staring her in the face. How do we stop this insanity?
There is something deeply satisfying about watching the giant fog machine fail. A judge does something absurd, dresses it up in the language of compassion and theory, then discovers that an American Senate hearing is one of those inconvenient places where someone may actually read the words aloud and ask what the hell they mean. No euphemisms. No activist jargon. No institutional shrug. You wrote it. You defended it. Now explain it in public. More of this. Much more.

Not the war in Iran you idiot. It is the result of Ukraine attacks on Russian refineries. Russian diesel is used in Russia and sold to Europe. Because of refinery damage Russia is keeping more and exporting less. That squeezes world supply and drives up prices.
It now costs the truck drivers on average $1,200 to fill up a single tank because of the war in Iran. Mike Rogers said it's a win-win-win. Are you winning?
