If you believe free speech is for you but not your political opponents, you're illiberal. If no contrary evidence could change your beliefs, you're a fundamentalist. If you believe the state should punish those with contrary views, you're a totalitarian. If you believe political opponents should be punished with violence or death, you're a terrorist.
Sad state of affairs that politicians on the left hate conservative Americans of every stripe - and vice-versa it seems.
Democrats refused to pause and pray for Charlie Kirk. When they show you who they are and what they stand for, believe them.

Exactly
The left-wing mainstream media, as well as figures like Gavin Newson claiming Trump plans to be dictator, has created a climate of hysteria against right-wing figures that could radicalize any number of unstable people to engage in political violence. Pray Charlie Kirk is ok.
Thanks for your skepticism sir. I don’t agree with all your decisions, but I don’t have to. Besides, the differences in our physiques tell me you’ve placed a much higher premium on health and fitness. Call me crazy, but that’s exactly what we need at HHS. You’re challenging the very companies benefitting from our “wait and see” approach and changing the dynamic in the consumer’s favor.
Under this administration, vaccine injuries will be reported and studied. Individuals who suffer them will not be denied, marginalized, vilified or gaslit. They will be welcomed and we will learn everything that we can about them so that we can improve the safety of these products.

DEI is done. Science is back.
It’s refreshing to see @HHSGov prioritize taxpayer interests over ideological funding. @SecKennedy’s leadership in cutting millions in grants—tied to DEI focused research projects—shows real courage and common sense. He’s putting science and results first, ensuring taxpayer dollars go to research that benefits all Americans, not political agendas.
Have to admit I didn’t think this was real, at first. Then I thought well it must be Canada (because of the crazy anti-self defense rules). Sickens me there are people suggesting “if only the alleged attacker had pills and counseling”. If that’s how you’re wired, please recognize we need people in the world who can be prison guards because everyone loves a sucker.
Why is the disgusting, senseless, unprovoked murder of 23-year-old Ukrainian refugee Iryna Zarutska by a man named Decarlos Brown Jr. on a train in Charlotte NC not getting more media attention?!

Hammer every one of them sir - but I mean all of them. End this nonsense that adults who have made it to the pinnacle of their professions and shape public policy don’t understand the contracts to which they commit their signature. Especially them lawyers! Be against all of it.
At least three Trump cabinet officials claim multiple homes as their primary residence. Bill Pulte is the so-called director of the Housing Finance Agency. This unqualified political hack won’t investigate the extremists. We will. propublica.org/article/trump…

I don’t know sir, it seems Kansas City made a change five years ago that seemed just as incredulous to me then that this does to you now. thebeaconnews.org/stories/20…
MO-05 is the heart of Kansas City, our people, our culture, our economic engine. Trump and Missouri Republicans want to carve it up to cling to power, but they will not silence the voices of Kansas Citians without a fight. msnbc.com/top-stories/latest…

Our nation was founded on the recognition that moral virtue and a steadfast faith in God are necessary preconditions of freedom. Yet under the Biden Administration, U.S. foreign policy belittled Christianity and weaponized government against faith. That era has ended. Under @POTUS’s leadership, the State Department will eradicate practices that devalue and demean the Christian faith. foxnews.com/politics/doj-tas…

As another man who once worked with me declares himself saddened by my beliefs on gender and sex, I thought it might be useful to compile a list for handy reference. Which of the following do you imagine makes actors and directors who aren’t involved with the HBO reboot of Harry Potter so miserable? Is it my belief that women and girls should have their own public changing rooms and bathrooms? That women should retain female-only rape crisis centres? That men don’t belong in women’s sport? That female prisoners shouldn’t be incarcerated with violent men and male sex offenders? That women should remain a protected class in law, because they have sex-specific needs and issues? That language should reflect reality rather than ideological jargon, especially in a medical context? That women shouldn’t be harassed, persecuted or fired for refusing to pretend humans can change sex? That women should not be threatened with violence and rape when they assert their rights? That freedom of speech and belief are essential to a pluralistic democratic society? That troubled minors, especially those who are gay, autistic and trauma-experienced, should be given mental health support instead of irreversible surgeries and drug treatments on non-existent evidence of benefit? That gay people shouldn’t be pressured to include the opposite sex in their dating pools, nor should they be smeared as ‘genital fetishists’ when they don’t? That cross-dressing heterosexual male fetishists aren’t actually oppressed, but having the time of their lives piggybacking off gender identity ideology? That said ideology, and the privileged, blinkered fools pushing it because they suffer zero consequences themselves, have done more damage to the political left’s credibility than Trump and Farage could have achieved in a century? Let me have your thoughts.

It’s stupid for Democrats to argue against voter ID’s. All grownups should have an ID. It should come with Social Security cards, free.

Newsom will never be able to copy this. He doesn't have the empathy for it.

It’s easier to bury lies in word salads, so this makes sense…

We do not care at all.
Mail-in ballots are critical for seniors, people with disabilities, service members and their families, and millions of other Americans to exercise their right to vote. We are not a democracy if everyone cannot participate.

I support any political movement that gets these people the hell out of my country.

Because they placed a carpet? You have no idea the stupid shit we have to do on a daily basis. Shut up and stop clutching your pearls.

Hmmm. Your guy Obama won one after just 8 months in office, for making a few speeches… then became one of the biggest bombers in US presidential history. And his Syria ‘red line’ cowardice emboldened Putin in a way that would have shamed even Chamberlain!
Note to @POTUS: Neville Chamberlain didn't win the Nobel Peace Prize. nytimes.com/live/2025/08/16/… via @NYTimes
