Nancy Mace said the quiet part out loud.
If the President has to be born here, why do we let people born somewhere else write our laws, sit on our courts, and lecture us about “our democracy”?
The Constitution already says the Commander in Chief has to be a natural-born citizen. Makes sense. The person with the nuclear codes should not have a backup passport and a second allegiance.
Mace wants that same standard for Congress, federal judges, and Senate-confirmed officers. She named names: Ilhan Omar. Shri Thanedar. Pramila Jayapal. All born overseas. All sitting in the House. All acting like America is the problem.
Omar’s response was, “Good luck to her.”
I agree with Rep Mace. Foreign born should never be able to hold any type of local or federal office.

From a post on FB…nothing truer!
You can bury your head in the sand where politics is concerned but it won't do any good. We're in trouble here in the U.S. We were in trouble long before Donald Trump became POTUS so don't try to put this off on him. Democrats were in office 8 years before he was elected & then we had a nursing home patient for 4 years afterward.
America fought in the Cold War for years before we defeated Communism but now we're electing Democratic Socialists (Communists) to public office. People from other countries flee to our country to escape Communism but we want to adopt it here. We all know how well that's going to turn out.
No matter how I vote, no matter what I say, something evil has invaded our nation & our lives are never going to be the same.
I have been aggravated by the hostility of family/friends. I look at people I have known all my life--so hate-filled that they agree with opinions they would never express as their own. I think that I may well have entered the Twilight Zone.
You can't justify this insanity. We have become a nation that has lost its collective mind.
• If a man pretends to be a woman, you are required to pretend with him.
• Somehow it’s un-American for the census to count how many Americans are in America.
• Russians influencing our elections are bad, but illegals voting in our elections are good.
• It was cool for Joe Biden to 'blackmail' the President of Ukraine, but it’s an impeachable offense if Donald Trump inquires about it.
• Twenty is too young to drink a beer, but eighteen is old enough to vote and go to war. And evidently, four or five is now old enough to change your gender or your name.
• People who have never owned slaves should pay slavery reparations to people who have never been slaves.
• People who have never been to college should pay the debts of college students who took out huge loans for their degrees.
• Immigrants with tuberculosis and polio are welcome, but you’d better be able to prove your dog is vaccinated.
• Irish doctors & German engineers who want to immigrate to the US must go through a rigorous vetting process, but any illiterate gang-bangers who jump the southern fence are welcome.
• $5 billion for border security is too expensive, but $1.5 trillion for 'free' health care is not.
• If you cheat to get into college you go to prison, but if you cheat to get into the country you go to college for free.
• We see other countries going Socialist & they've all collapsed but it seems like a great plan to us.
• Some people are held responsible for things that happened before they were born & other people are not held responsible for what they are doing right now.
• Criminals are caught-&-released to hurt more people, but stopping them is bad because it's a violation of THEIR rights.
• And pointing out all this hypocrisy somehow makes us 'racists'?!
Nothing makes sense anymore, no values, no morals, no respect, no civility & people are dying of a Chinese virus, but it racist to refer to it as Chinese even though it began in China. We are clearly living in an upside down world where right is wrong & wrong is right, where moral is immoral & immoral is moral, where good is evil & evil is good, where killing murderers is wrong, but killing innocent babies is right.
Wake up America, the great unsinkable ship Titanic America has hit an iceberg, is taking on water & is sinking fast. The choice is yours to make. What will it be? Time is short, make your choice wisely.
This is the truth.

I’m a conservative but I’m not a “Republican.”
I’m just an American who’s insulted by everything that Democrats say and do.
An American who believes in the Constitution.
An American who loves the flag.
An American who stands for the Anthem and the Pledge.
An American who loves his country.
In other words:
An American who wants the exact opposite of everything Democrats run on.
Censorship, mandates, RACISM, hatred, division…
I STAND AGAINST IT ALL!
And I’m not a "right-wing nut job" or a "Nazi" or a "deplorable."
I’m just a normal guy who votes for normal things.
So I voted for Trump TWICE.
And I’ll vote for whoever comes after him, if that’s what it takes to keep Democrats OUT of the White House.
Not because I’m loyal to a party.
Because I’m loyal to what I believe is RIGHT.
Anyone with me on that?

I don’t mean to be harsh—but you aren’t nearly terrified enough by voter apathy.
If we don’t increase voter turnout—especially Christians—Democrats will take power.
And when they do, they’re going to target YOU
They’ll claim your kids.
They’ll throw you in prison.
Yes, really.

30% of Christians are NOT registered to vote.
Faith is good, but faith without works is dead.
If every Christian in America voted, we would transform our country for the better overnight.

Few phrases in American history are quoted more often than Thomas Jefferson’s “wall of separation between Church and State.”
But Jefferson was not writing to atheists who wanted religion removed from society. He was writing to Baptists who feared government interference with their faith.
The phrase appeared in an 1802 letter to the Danbury Baptist Association of Connecticut. At the time, Connecticut’s Congregational churches occupied a privileged position within the state. Baptists and other dissenting Christians could worship, but their liberty was often treated as an exemption granted by government rather than an inherent right.
That deeply troubled them.
In their 1801 letter to Jefferson, the Baptists argued that religion was a matter between a person and God. Civil government possessed authority over harmful conduct, but not over religious belief.
They complained that their religious privileges were considered “favors granted,” rather than “inalienable rights.”
These were not secularists attempting to drive Christianity from public life. They were Christians seeking protection from a government-supported religious establishment.
Jefferson answered them with a statement of principle.
He wrote that religion was a matter lying “solely between Man & his God,” that a person owed no civil account for his faith or worship, and that the legitimate power of government extended to actions rather than opinions.
He then quoted the First Amendment:
“Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof.”
These two protections formed what Jefferson called “a wall of separation between Church & State.”
The purpose of that wall was not to make Americans irreligious. It was to prevent civil authorities from assuming power over religious belief and practice.
Jefferson’s surviving draft provides further context. He originally connected this principle to his refusal, as president, to proclaim national days of fasting and thanksgiving. The British monarch was the legal head of an established church. The American president was not.
This did not mean religious people could not influence public life. Churches and individual believers remained free to preach, pray, persuade, vote, and participate in politics.
The distinction was between religious influence and governmental religious authority.
“Separation of Church and State” did not mean separating religion from society, morality, politics, or public discussion. It described a boundary between two kinds of authority.
The church was not to possess the coercive power of the state. The state was not to establish worship, govern doctrine, or treat religious liberty as a privilege it could grant or withdraw.
Jefferson’s wall was a defense of liberty of conscience. Faith cannot be produced by legislation, compelled by force, or safely placed beneath the authority of civil rulers.

They will lecture you all day about American slavery. Then they go silent on 1,300 years of the Arab slave trade, where Africans were taken, broken, and erased from the story because it does not fit the script.
History is not a costume. It is blood, ledgers, and what people refuse to say out loud.
TELL THE WHOLE STORY.
If your politics need amnesia to survive, it is not justice. It is branding. Truth does not care which narrative is fashionable this semester.
Teach all of it. Or stop preaching.

People say:
"I wish one middle-class income could support an entire family like it did in the 1950s."
Okay. Then take the entire 1950s package—not just the parts you romanticize.
• No Netflix, Disney+, Spotify, or endless subscriptions
• One small TV with 3 channels, if you're lucky
• One basic car for the whole family
• No yearly vacations or cheap flights across the country
• No smartphones, laptops, gaming consoles, or internet
• Every meal cooked at home from scratch
• Kids sharing bedrooms
• A house under 1,000 sq. ft. for a family of 4–6
• One bathroom for everyone
• Little to no air conditioning in many places
• Clothes repaired, reused, and handed down
• Eating at restaurants was an occasional luxury, not a weekly habit
The comparison isn't just income.
The average household today consumes far more space, technology, entertainment, travel, convenience, and services than the average household did 70 years ago.
That doesn't mean housing, healthcare, and education aren't more expensive today—they are.
But when people compare lifestyles across generations, they often compare a 1950s income to a 2020s standard of living.
Those aren't the same thing.
If you want the economics of the 1950s, you have to accept the lifestyle of the 1950s too.

Many local votes are won or lost by single digits in Oklahoma. These are the people that "serve" you locally and affect you the most. But the governor's runoff race was won by 2,000 votes - that's 1/10 of 1%. That's how close it was, and had those 2,000 people across the state not voted, we'd be having a RINO running as governor.
GO VOTE!
100% I am 60 and plan to retire at 62. I paid in for 45 years and never collected anything. I feel the same way you do.
A letter to our Senators and Representatives.
Gentlemen,
I am a 64-year-old American that has worked and paid taxes since I was fifteen years old. I have never taken any type of handout from anyone, including the US government. After 49 years of working, I have decided to retire, at least partially. According to you, it’s “early retirement”. I don’t consider 49 years of working, “early”. Had I been a government employee I could have retired 29 years ago, or had I been a senator, I could have retired, what… 39 years ago? with full retirement pay and free healthcare for life.
Because I retired before reaching my “full retirement age”; which is decided by you, I have a reduced Social Security payment, which you refer to as a “benefit”. I see it as a return of my money that I have paid in for 49 years. This reduced payment is not enough to live on. The payment at full retirement age is not enough to live on. I have to work some, to supplement my income, but low and behold I can only earn a certain amount (which is still not enough to live on) and then you start docking my Social Security.
Apparently, I earned too much at some point because I just received a letter from the SSA stating that my next three SSA payments will be cut in half, and the real kicker is I still “owe” $38.00. I can’t work more to make up the difference because I will only be further penalized.
It is extremely infuriating, as an American citizen, to be treated this way. Look at the amount of fraud, look at the number of people, many of whom have never paid a dime into the system, receiving free benefits from the government. Look at the billions paid to and on behalf of illegal immigrants. All I want is the money I paid in and a chance to retire in peace.

𝐌𝐀𝐌𝐃𝐀𝐍𝐈 𝐑𝐀𝐍 𝐀 𝟐𝟎𝟎-𝐏𝐄𝐑𝐒𝐎𝐍 𝐈𝐍𝐅𝐋𝐔𝐄𝐍𝐂𝐄𝐑 𝐀𝐑𝐌𝐘 — 𝐏𝐀𝐈𝐃 𝐖𝐈𝐓𝐇 𝐘𝐎𝐔𝐑 𝐓𝐀𝐗 𝐃𝐎𝐋𝐋𝐀𝐑𝐒, 𝐍𝐎𝐍𝐄 𝐑𝐄𝐐𝐔𝐈𝐑𝐄𝐃 𝐓𝐎 𝐃𝐈𝐒𝐂𝐋𝐎𝐒𝐄 𝐈𝐓
A Columbia Journalism Review investigation found that Mayor Zohran Mamdani’s administration built a Signal group chat of roughly 𝟐𝟎𝟎 𝐬𝐨𝐜𝐢𝐚𝐥 𝐦𝐞𝐝𝐢𝐚 𝐢𝐧𝐟𝐥𝐮𝐞𝐧𝐜𝐞𝐫𝐬, feeding them press updates and talking points to push City Hall’s programs and policies straight onto TikTok and Instagram.
Here’s the money trail: city agencies hire outside ad agencies, and those ad agencies in turn pay the influencers directly for specific campaigns — anywhere from $𝟓,𝟎𝟎𝟎 𝐭𝐨 $𝟐𝟎,𝟎𝟎𝟎 per influencer, per campaign, according to city agency staff who spoke with researchers. City Hall’s defense is that no influencer is paid "directly" by taxpayer dollars. As one panel put it on air: that’s 𝘱𝘳𝘦𝘵𝘵𝘺 𝘤𝘭𝘰𝘴𝘦 𝘵𝘰 𝘥𝘪𝘳𝘦𝘤𝘵 when the money still starts in a city contract and ends in a creator’s bank account.
The disclosure gap is the real problem. If a politician buys a billboard, a TV spot, or a radio ad, the law requires it to say who paid for it. These influencers face no such requirement — audiences scrolling past a glowing post about a Mamdani program have no way of knowing whether they’re watching a genuine fan or a 𝐩𝐚𝐢𝐝 𝐜𝐚𝐦𝐩𝐚𝐢𝐠𝐧 𝐚𝐬𝐬𝐞𝐭.
City Hall says officials may use Signal when authorized, so long as they comply with record-retention and Freedom of Information Law requirements, and Mamdani has said his administration intends to follow those rules. That’s a promise about paperwork, not about whether New Yorkers get told who’s bankrolling the influencers praising their mayor.

Written by a 26 year old‼️
WE HAVE A PROBLEM: This is a well written and thought out article written by a 26 yr old college student by the name of Alyssa Ahlgren, who's in grad school for her MBA. What a GREAT perspecitve...
My Generation Is Blind to the Prosperity Around Us!
I'm sitting in a small coffee shop near Nokomis (Florida) trying to think of what to write about. I scroll through my newsfeed on my phone looking at the latest headlines of presidential candidates calling for policies to "fix" the so-called injustices of capitalism. I put my phone down and continue to look around.
I see people talking freely, working on their MacBook's, ordering food they get in an instant, seeing cars go by outside, and it dawned on me. We live in the most privileged time in the most prosperous nation and we've become completely blind to it.
Vehicles, food, technology, freedom to associate with whom we choose.These things are so ingrained in our American way of life we don't give them a second thought.
We are so well off here in the United States that our poverty line begins 31 times above the global average. Thirty One Times!!!
Virtually no one in the United States is considered poor by global standards. Yet, in a time where we can order a product off Amazon with one click and have it at our doorstep the next day, we are unappreciative, unsatisfied, and ungrateful. ??
Our unappreciation is evident as the popularity of socialist policies among my generation continues to grow. Congresswoman Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez recently said to Newsweek talking about the millennial generation, "An entire generation, which is now becoming one of the largest electorates in America, came of age and never saw American prosperity."
Never saw American prosperity! Let that sink in.
When I first read that statement, I thought to myself, that was quite literally the most entitled and factually illiterate thing I've ever heard in my 26 years on this earth. Many young people agree with her, which is entirely misguided.
My generation is being indoctrinated by a mainstream narrative to actually believe we have never seen prosperity. I know this first hand, I went to college, let's just say I didn't have the popular opinion, but I digress.
Why then, with all of the overwhelming evidence around us, evidence that I can even see sitting at a coffee shop, do we not view this as prosperity? We have people who are dying to get into our country.
People around the world destitute and truly impoverished. Yet, we have a young generation convinced they've never seen prosperity, and as a result, we elect some politicians who are dead set on taking steps towards abolishing capitalism.
Why? The answer is this,?? my generation has only seen prosperity. We have no contrast. We didn't live in the great depression, or live through two world wars, the Korean War, The Vietnam War or we didn't see the rise and fall of socialism and communism.
We don't know what it's like to live without the internet, without cars, without smartphones. We don't have a lack of prosperity problem. We have an entitlement problem, an ungratefulness problem, and it's spreading like a plague." #pleaseshare

Not my usual post topic........
But I’m sick of the Boomer hate. Everywhere I look, it’s the same thing. Boomers ruined the economy. Boomers hoarded all the houses. Boomers wrecked the planet. Boomers made it impossible for anyone younger to get ahead. Like my entire generation sat down one day and decided to screw everyone who came after us. I worked. I saved. I paid into the system for decades. Now I want to spend some of what I earned, and suddenly that’s a moral failing. Wanting to live in the house I paid for is “hoarding.” Taking a vacation is “stealing the future.” Existing past 65 is apparently an offense. Housing is expensive. Wages stalled. Costs went up. Fine. That’s real. But acting like every Boomer personally priced you out of a starter home is lazy. Governments printed money. Corporations consolidated. Zoning locked cities down. Colleges sold a $200k degree for a $50k job. Interest rates, regulation, immigration, supply, demand — pick a cause. “Old people exist” is not an analysis. And the entitlement in it is wild. Nobody owes you the same deal your parents or grandparents had. Life doesn’t come with a guaranteed starter home, cheap college, and a pension. Plenty of people in my generation got crushed, too. Plenty of younger people are doing fine. Outcomes aren’t a morality play by birth year. I’m not apologizing for working, saving, and wanting to enjoy the result. If that’s “Boomer hate” fuel, so be it. I’m done pretending I should feel guilty for not being broke.
Rant over.
Thanks for coming to my Ted Talk.

People don’t seem to understand this, if we lose our constitutional republic we are never getting it back.
The post liberal project is post constitution.
Anybody can take the time and do the research and figure out what they stand for, and anybody can go back and listen to clips of the people who are the forward thinkers in this movement to understand what their intentions are.
So you can continue to keep your head in the sand and pretend like it’s not happening, but it is happening and if you don’t actually fight for conservatism… America will have no viable political parties left.
