Grateful for his service. But voting for crooks like Trump and Paxton are playing right into their hands. They have this guy convinced he will lose everything that he’s standing up for two guys that actually are taking from him.
"I love my freedoms. I love my country, and we fought for it." A retired military veteran fights back tears in Lubbock, Texas, as he explains why keeping the Lone Star State red means so much to him. Having spent time overseas, the Trump supporter says he knows what life is like outside America and believes protecting the freedoms he fought for is at stake in the upcoming midterms. Hear what else he tells @Brooketaylortv about why this election is so personal to him: foxnews.com/video/6407494054…

It was actually our 250th anniversary. Not that you would know — you spent it with the British.
Paxton: On July 4th, we celebrated the 200th anniversary of our country.

July 4 2026 marked the 250th anniversary of US independence not the 200th as claimed in the video. Multiple reports placed Paxton in London England that weekend with videos of the trip. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/United_St… thedailybeast.com/must-win-maga-… ibtimes.co.uk/ken-paxton-lon… washingtonexaminer.com/news/campaigns…

In a new poll, 15% of Americans said they believe between 1 and 5% of NCAA athletes are transgender. 14% think between it's between 6 and 25%. Meanwhile, an NCAA spokesperson confirmed that the current number is "effectively" zero thebulwark.com/p/new-poll-bu…

That joke wouldn’t make any sense if it was about a gold-plated Taco Bell.
If Obama had compared Trump's Oval Office to a gold-plated Taco Bell, I'd get the joke. But Cheesecake Factory? I grew up eating at chain restaurants, and even into my 30s, Cheesecake Factory was a fancy dinner my family often couldn't afford. Most Americans get that.

Walter was his best man and friend of nearly 60 years. Sharing a memory of that friendship belongs in a eulogy. You saw a husband mentioned and turned grief into a culture war. Who’s making this about themselves?
Look at these different eulogies for Walter Koenig. Shatner didn't know him well, but professionally respected him, wrote it about him. Takei made it all about himself, his gay marriage. This is what the SJWs do every time. They co-opt every situation, make it about their narcissism and their fetishes so you can never be left alone about it. It's not about being left alone or civil rights with them, it's about making everything about THEM.

“He doesn’t seem selfish” is quite a conclusion about a man whose campaigns took hundreds of thousands from big pharma while he pushed broader opioid access. That’s Olympic-level ignorance. She’s mistaken a warm sales pitch for a background check.
Michigan voter on @MikeRogersForMI: "I think he will put Michigan first… So many politicians put, 'What’s in it for me? What do I get out of it?' I don’t get that feel from him."

This goes hard if you’re not bright. Michigan builds cars. “Used car salesman” mocks someone desperate to prop up a lemon like Mike Rogers. Confusing the two is like thinking “ambulance chaser” insults paramedics. Congratulations: you’ve defended an industry nobody attacked.
El Sayed attempting to use “used car salesman” as a slam or dig is a brutally stupid move when he’s asking to represent the car capital of America….

So predictable.
Unexpectedly in Washington, and in honor of all of us that Barack Hussein Obama looks down on, had lunch at @Cheesecake Factory!

🇧🇷 Se terminó el comunismo en Brasil, perdió Lula, perdió la izquierda, ganó la derecha, Flávio Bolsonaro es el nuevo Presidente de Brasil!
Readers added context they thought people might want to know
Flávio Bolsonaro no es el nuevo presidente de Brasil. En la segunda vuelta de las elecciones de 2026 Lula ganó la reelección con el 51,76% de los votos válidos frente al 48,24% de Flávio Bolsonaro según el Tribunal Superior Eleitoral. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2026_Braz… theguardian.com/world/ng-inter… ndmais.com.br/politica/quem-…

🚨 BREAKING: Lula is projected to WIN reelection as president of Brazil, defeating Flávio Bolsonaro, son of former President Jair Bolsonaro and an ally of Donald Trump. The projection comes just ONE DAY after Reuters exposed a Trump administration effort to help return the Bolsonaro family to power. A major political upset in Brazil.

Every Trump rally for some reason
TRUMP: I looked at his ass, and I've never done that with a man before. By the way, I looked at one hell of a beautiful ass before: Nicki Minaj. That's hard to miss.

Beautiful moment here at Ford Field

So why is she speaking to a majority white crowd in rural St. Clair County?
Nicki Minaj is Abdul’s worst nightmare in Wayne County and Flint 🔥🔥

This is an extremely bad look for him and his son’s memory. Very disappointing and disturbing.
Beamer on El-Sayed: He has a birth certificate but he's not an American. He had the choice to be an American or not. He has chosen otherwise. He has blood that's red. However, he has chosen to remove any strain of the white and blue part in his blood. We cannot allow this man to invade and, occupy our country. (He is an American)

Wow Matt, this tweet did better than you did against Dana. Good job.
Wow, what a fun day sitting on the deck and watching the leaves turn colors. 394K impressions, 94,818 engagements, and 2,544 profile visits. That's 16 impressions per second, and all I said was, "What a miserable awful human being." Too bad some candidates didn't want my help. Awwww. It appears to be true. What a miserable awful human being.

Matt Hall cries “voter suppression” over polls while facing accusations of exposing opponents’ private information. Women fear harassment; Matt fears non-existent voter fraud. This man needs to lose his speakership.
Michigan state House Speaker Matt Hall tells voters to ignore the "fake polls" from the "fake news." "They are trying to suppress our vote," Hall says.
