As a lifelong Democrat, I didn’t know what to make of Charlie Kirk. I’ve since spent several lunch breaks watching his debates (FULL videos) and have come away with the impression that we got him all wrong. The reaction from those on my side of the aisle have really made me rethink whether we’re on the right side of history.
Well, I’m crossing the aisle—I just registered as a Republican.
Anyone else?

Jay Jones’ early release policy allowed Daniel Vanover to groom and assault an 11-year-old girl.
How many more innocent victims will it take before Jay Jones admits he is too soft for Virginia?

I served on the National Security Council under President Clinton. I was Joe Biden’s Deputy Staff Director of the Senate foreign Relations Committee. I voted for Kamala Harris and have been a vocal critic of many dangerous and undemocratic actions taken by President Trump.
But I’m not a blind tribalist and am perfectly comfortable praising President Trump for bold and courageous actions in support of America’s core national interests, as he took last night.
Iran has been at war with the United States for 46 years. Its regime has murdered thousands of American citizens. Its slogan “death to America“ was not window dressing but core ideology. It was racing toward a nuclear weapon with every intention of using it to threaten America, our allies, and the Middle East region as a whole.
No actions like this come without risks, and I imagine the story will get more complicated over time, but that’s why these types of decisions are complicated.
Although I believe electing Kamala Harris would have been better for our democracy, society, and economy, as well as for helping the most vulnerable people in the United States and around the world, I also believe VP Harris would not have had the courage or fortitude to take such an essential step as the president took last night.

It was too depressing to write this last night, after we got off air, so I went to bed. But, it needs to be said by more Democrats: this was not an impeachable offense, and Trump did not need congressional approval for one precision attack under the circumstances, just as Obama did not when striking Bin Laden. Why can’t our Party just say it’s great we achieved the objective and destroyed Iran’s nuclear sites, god bless the soldiers who carried this out and made it home safely, god bless our country, military, allies, and we look forward to a full intel briefing. 🇺🇸. If one must then assert Congressional authority at the moment, add that any escalation will require congressional approval. And if you must, express concern for where this may go and what might come next.
But, for so many in my Party to knee jerk with unhinged calls for impeachment - and sadly omit in their statement support for Iran not having nuclear weapons, which has been a principle of our Party for 40 years -is truly TDS.

Trump had nothing to do with an unfunded education mandate or state hiring spree or too high Medicaid costs or (way) over budget transportation projects or hostile business environment but..he is responsible for Maryland’s credit downgrade? Gotta throw the flag. What a farce.

This candidate doesn't even understand what packing the court means. "Packing the courts is the idea of adding justices to the Supreme Court or lower courts to shift the balance in a liberal, conservative or other direction." What she describes is NOT packing the court!

Hey Kamala Harris, I just read your plan to help the Black Community prosper so I wanted to let you know what I thought of it.
Basically all you think of Black men is that you can buy them with some loans that will never get through Congress and throw some Mary Jane at them?
Girl, I don’t know if you or your mother Shyamala Gopalan (she ain’t no Black) wrote this stuff, but it sure ain’t no plan that my community wants or needs.
I’ll be voting on TRUMP!
Very good question....
Dear VP Harris: I hear you make this statement all the time. Exactly what “faith” are you talking about when you say you don’t have to abandon it to support abortion? Are you talking about the Christian faith that says all babies are made in the image of God (Gen 1:26), that God places them in the womb (Jer 1:5) and that we should not take any life unjustly (Luke 18:20)? Are you talking about that faith or some nebulous, general “faith” that says we’re good enough, and smart enough to make our own decisions? What “faith” are you talking about?

NEW: John McCain’s son, Jimmy, says he is so disgusted that Trump would turn Arlington into a "campaign backdrop" that he is voting for Kamala.
Ironically, in 1999, John McCain himself used Arlington National Cemetery as a "campaign backdrop."
In a political ad, then-presidential candidate John McCain was seen walking through Arlington.
The incident got so much attention that McCain was forced to remove the footage from his ad.
"McCain to Remove Arlington Footage From Campaign Ad," an LA Times headline read from Nov. 12, 1999.
"Republican presidential candidate Sen. John McCain will remove footage of Arlington National Cemetery from his campaign’s biographical television ad," the report read.
"The Army said this week that the Arizonan’s campaign did not ask permission to film him at the cemetery. Any request to do so would have been denied because partisan activity is banned at Army installations, the Army said," the LA Times reported at the time.
"'It just blows me away. These men and women that are laying in the ground there have no choice' of whether to be a backdrop for a political campaign," he said, according to CNN.
Will Jimmy be condemning his father?

WOW! Actor Dennis Quaid just ENDORSED Trump due to the weaponization of the DOJ!
"I was ready not to vote for Trump until I saw a weaponization of our justice system," Quaid said.
Watch his new movie "REAGAN" in theaters now!
It sure would be a shame if this went viral!

🚨 WOW: Kamala Harris promised race-baiter Al Sharpton that she would use tax dollars for REPARATIONS if she becomes President
This is INSANE.

What "MAGA" really means
The phrase has troubled liberals who think it is a call for a return to an America before civil rights, gay rights, and women's rights. But I have a more generous interpretation, one that is truer to my experience of Donald Trump as he is today. "Make America Great Again" recalls a nation brimming with vitality, with a can-do spirit, with hope and a belief in itself. It was an America that was beginning to confront its darker shadows, could acknowledge the injustice in its past and present, yet at the same time could celebrate its successes. It was a nation of broad prosperity, the world's most vibrant middle class, and a idealistic belief (though not consistently applied) in freedom, justice, and democracy. It was a nation that led the world in innovation, productivity, and technology. And it was the healthiest country in the world. I have talked to many Trump supporters. I have talked with his inner circle. I have talked to the man himself. This is the America they want to restore.

This speech from RFK Jr. will go down in the history books:
“The DNC and its media organs engineered a surge of popularity for VP Harris based upon nothing. No policies, no interviews, no debates. Only smoke and mirrors.”

HOLY SH*T!
Minnesota National Guard Leaders Expose Tim Walz for Stolen Valor, Lying About His Rank, and Quitting When His Unit Was Deployed to Iraq.
"As soon as the shots were fired in Iraq, he turned and ran the other way and hung his hat up and quit," said Tom Behrends, a retired command sergeant major who replaced Gov. Tim Walz on a deployment to Iraq.
When he was a congressman, you know, he bragged that he was a retired command sergeant major: "I'm the highest-ranking person ever in the House," and, you know, all this lie that he was telling the state of Minnesota came out after 2018. After this was exposed, they said, "Well, he can say that he served as a command sergeant major, but he can't say he's a retired one because he's not."
Just tooting his own horn, hanging on the coattails of people that actually are command sergeant majors, who went through all the process and put all the time in.
It's stolen valor, really, what it is.
If he went to Iraq, he'd still be hiding under his desk over there, 'cause that's just the cowardice that I saw portrayed with him.

VP Candidate Tim Waltz:
ABANDONED his National Guard unit upon notification of Iraq deployment.
LIED about the timing of his "retirement" before his unit deployed.
Was put ON BLAST by retired Command Sergeants Major of the Minnesota National Guard.
UNFIT!

Remember..
The media claimed Trump was “losing it” & had issues w/his cognitive abilities just 3 days ago.
Yesterday, at 78, he was shot in the ear, immediately hit the ground & within seconds stood up to signal to the world he was okay.
Ain’t nothing wrong with that man.
