fOCUS has been out for a few months now (and is now available in paperback). My first attempt at a novel was a labor of love and I appreciate all the support from everyone who has read it. I'm pretty much caught up on answering your emails and texts, so feel free to write!

BREAKING: Florida now requires the mandatory instruction of the horror of communism be taught beginning in 2026/2027 school year.
Florida is officially rolling out a mandatory K-12 history of communism curriculum starting in the 2026/2027 school year. The Florida Department of Education approved these new standards to ensure students learn about the economic, political, and human-rights consequences of communist regimes.

🚨 TYRUS NAILED IT: Leftist podcasters are still laughing at Charlie Kirk, and Tyrus explained exactly what that means.
"One of the greatest compliments to your life's work is that your enemies are still fighting you after you're gone."
Every cheap shot sends another person looking up who Charlie was.
They can't stop talking about him. That's how you know he won.

🚨OVERRATED LIBERAL DIVA BETTE MIDLER SAYS SHE CAN NO LONGER AFFORD TO LIVE IN MIDTOWN MANHATTAN AFTER RECEIVING HER 2027 TAX BILL FROM MAMDANI’S CITY HALL!
“This isn’t my second home,” said Midler. “I shouldn’t have to give him 20 percent of my net worth just because I have many homes. Only four of them are even in New York.”
Midler says she campaigned vigorously for Zohran Mamdani, thinking he’d go after billionaires.
“I have about $900 million to go.”
One by one, they’re finding out the true meaning of communism.
This is what you voted for.
Share this everywhere so they keep finding out what they voted for!

Dear Democrat elected officials, with Pete Hegseth the military loves him and the recruitment is off the charts. Why on earth should we listen to Democrat elected officials, who have the Godless, the communists and the Jew haters in their chambers of Congress.
Was looking forward to impeaching Hegseth tonight, but instead we got a bunch of Republican procedural votes to try and avoid bringing the actual impeachment to the floor.
Republicans continue to avoid accountability at every turn. They might delay it but they can't escape it.
Readers added context they thought people might want to know
House Dems say Republicans protected Hegseth. 211-204 vote sent Massie’s resolution to committee, killing it. Massie was sole R voting to advance.
All present Dems voted to advance, but 11 Dems (incl. Pelosi) were absent—their votes would have defeated the motion.

No jobs, no insurance for employees, no 401Ks for workers, no power, no innovation, no future.
You saved an abandoned, empty lot. And somehow you are proud of it.

LA voters fired Karen Bass for her DISASTER on the wildfires, homelessness and crime. Now they've got someone even WORSE.
On the LA City Council, Nithya Raman voted against moving homeless encampments away from schools. Even Bass got that one right!
This is what happens when extreme politicians put ideology ahead of common sense.

Dumbest Gun Law Award goes to Gavin Newsom, who signed a law giving firearm companies a $25,000 fine for advertising youth shooting sports, including hunting. In 2022, California passed AB 2571, making it illegal for firearm businesses to advertise products in ways that might appeal to kids. The law was so ridiculous that just months later, California amended it to exempt advertisements promoting youth hunting, shooting competitions, and firearm safety programs. Apparently, someone finally realized that teaching kids to hunt and shoot safely wasn’t actually a crime.
But California still tried to defend the rest of this nonsense in court. Fortunately, the NRA and other gun-rights organizations fought back, and in March 2026, the state finally conceded the law was unconstitutional under the First Amendment. California even agreed to pay nearly $500,000 in legal fees from the NRA-backed lawsuit. Think about how ridiculous this is. Politicians trying to restrict the next generation’s exposure to firearms by controlling what gun companies are allowed to say. This was an attack on both the First and Second Amendments. The First Amendment protects free speech, and the Second protects all the other amendments.

Bernie Sanders says he wants to impeach RFK Jr.
"I think he has been the most dangerous Secretary of HHS in history!"
RFK Jr, who has pushed major food companies to phase out artificial dyes and reduce ultra-processed foods, who is pushing for healthy nutrition in hospitals and schools, that's who they want to go after

Polly Klaas’ furious father exploded on national TV after Gavin Newsom waited until two days after the midterms to commute every single one of California’s 548 death sentences to life without parole, including the monster who kidnapped and strangled his 12 year old daughter at a sleepover.

Just curious … If you successfully climb over the fence at Disneyland or Walt Disney World, do they reward you with an annual pass?
Thank you, Senator.
There's no pathway to home ownership for people who break into my house.
There should be no pathway to citizenship for people who break into the country—even if they're pregnant.
Said so to @tracegallagher @foxnewsnight two years ago.

So now in California you need ID to buy creatine, but not to vote. How does anybody take Newsom seriously?

You mean Democrats marching about "no kings" was all a lie. Newsom has multiple times over ruled the voice of the people when we voted for something this is just another example
