This man will not be fired for calling for the murder of American citizens, yet multiple journalists/reporters/teachers lost their job for accurately reporting things Charlie Kirk actually said and stood for.

But it’s the “violent left” that’s the problem

Only someone who avoided the draft would want to rename the Department of Defense to the Department of War.

"It's further eroding...the credibility of those who are in leadership positions in our military, that they would allow full military honors to someone who lost their life while committing the act of sedition."

Prosecuting Burning of The American Flag By the authority vested in me as President by the Constitution and the laws of the United States of America, it is hereby ordered: Section 1.  Purpose.

Some notes, from an airport, on this dumb performative decision, which is calculated to appeal to vapid totalitarian twats.

Shame on West Point for inviting a draft dodger, who views the US military as merely props to be used for his own glory, to give its commencement speech. With no respect, the tacky wheezing fool wore a campaign ball cap and rambled on about yachts and trophy wives to the bored graduates.

What an odd, telling lie.

Prompted to validate conspiracy theories, which he can't because they're made up, Patel says Trump authorized the Nat. Guard on Jan. 6.

But as the Jan. 6 Committee highlighted, the order came from SecDef in consultation with VP. Trump refused, enjoying the violence on TV.

If you’re changing the definition of human rights, it means you plan on violating people’s human rights.

1/4. On the White House’s theory, if they abduct you, get you on a helicopter, get to international waters, shoot you in the head, and drop your corpse into the ocean, that is legal, because it is the conduct of foreign affairs.

Social Security: Senator warns Elon Musk, Trump can make "backdoor" cuts Senator Elizabeth Warren has suggested that a new SSA rule may cause some recipients to miss out on payments.

On the campaign trail last year, Donald Trump said, “I will not cut one penny from Social Security.”

But by slashing Social Security staff and trying to make it harder to apply for benefits, he and Elon Musk are already risking backdoor cuts. Here’s how:

I bought a Tesla because it was fast like a rocket ship. But now every time I drive it, I feel like a rolling billboard for a man dismantling our government and hurting people. So Tesla, you’re fired!

New ride coming soon.

If you wanted to cut waste, fraud, and abuse, you would empower the inspectors general.

If you wanted more waste, fraud, and abuse, you would fire them.

The best estimates we have for the 1770s and 80s put church membership rates in Revolutionary America at about 17%. In the election of 1800, the main criticism of and most widespread fear about Jefferson was that he didn’t believe in God.

PRAYER OF
THOMAS JEFFERSON
ALMIGHTY GOD, Who has given us this good land for our heritage, we humbly beseech Thee that we may always prove ourselves a people mindful of Thy favor and glad to do Thy will. Bless our land with honorable industry and prosperity.
SAVE Us from violence, discord and confusion; from pride and arrogance, and every evil way. Defend our liberties and fashion into one united people the multitudes brought hither out of many kindreds and tongues.
ENDOW with the Spirit of wisdom those to whom in Thy Name we entrust the authority of government, that there may be justice and peace at home, and that through obedience to Thy law, we may show forth Thy praise among the nations of the earth.
IN THE TIME of prosperity, fill our hearts with thankfulness, and in the day of trouble, suffer not our trust in Thee to fail; all of which we ask through JESUS CHRIST. OUR LORD.
- Amen.

FWIW, here's a 1970 version of that apocryphal Thomas Jefferson prayer that Mike Johnson read in the House of Representatives today. It appeared in The Cross and the Flag, the magazine of Gerald LK Smith, a white supremacist & Christian Nationalist who was America's most notorious antisemite.
