Good morning! May we never forget why we have today off 🫡🇺🇸
In 2006, I was out of the Army. I had done a tour in Iraq in 2003-04 and I was sour on the Army (to say the least). I had moved on and I had a decent job, but it just wasn’t the same as being in. Then came Memorial Day Weekend: one of my best friends, @CoachDiCenzo called to tell me that his brother Doug had been killed in Iraq. He was a Company Commander and he had been killed on his PDSS. I was in utter shock. I had idolized Doug, who was a year older than me. He was a big reason why I joined ROTC coming out of high school. Our mothers worked at the same school, we played little league together, he was my teammate on the football team. He was an undersized lineman and an absolute beast on the field and the wrestling mat. He was the epitome of setting the example for others to follow. Much has been said about Doug over the years and our home town has done a great job of keeping his memory alive. None of that does justice to describe what an incredible leader, man, husband, father and friend Doug was. He was also the reason I went back in the Army. I was already feeling something was missing in my life. Doug’s death was the catalyst for me to go back in the Army. A few weeks later, I walked into a recruiting office and asked how I could get back in. By the end of the summer, I was back in. Even after he had passed, Doug still drove me to be better. RIP, brother. We will never forget. 🇺🇸🫡

The Liberals are now communists, and they intend on staying in power forever to rule over the ashes. The Architecture of National Erasure: Inside the Left’s Blueprint for Permanent One-Party Rule Every broken border, gutted city, and crushed family budget is a deliberate feature of the progressive battle plan to strip away your independence, liquidate the middle class, and reduce free citizens to permanent wards of the state. The modern left has abandoned the pretense of constitutional governance to wage a total war of attrition against the American republic. Their agenda operates in plain sight, driven by the arrogant certainty that institutional capture has placed them beyond accountability. They openly plot to pack the Supreme Court with ideological commissars who will rubber-stamp executive decrees and liquidate the Bill of Rights. They scheme to abolish the Electoral College, reducing the presidency to a prize awarded by decaying coastal megacities while relegating the American heartland to the status of a taxed, voiceless colony. Their push to manufacture statehood for Washington D.C. and Puerto Rico is a naked power grab for four permanent Senate seats, engineered to lock in a one-party legislative monopoly for eternity. Across the southern border, they have executed a calculated campaign of demographic colonization. By halting deportations, paralyzing border enforcement, and demanding blanket amnesty for twenty million illegal aliens, they are importing a massive, dependent electorate to replace the citizens who rejected their platform. Turning Texas and Arizona into progressive strongholds is mathematical warfare designed to render conservative national victories obsolete. They mask this sovereign betrayal in the language of humanitarianism, yet the cold reality is electoral replacement on a continental scale. Their economic doctrine is neo-feudal central planning wrapped in environmental hysteria. By mandating the death of the internal combustion engine, outlawing natural gas, and tethering the world’s greatest industrial powerhouse to intermittent windmills and Chinese-made solar panels, they are engineering energy poverty by design. Tripling electricity rates and normalizing rolling blackouts are features of a system built to break middle-class independence. While coastal elites lecture working families from private jets, they push national rent control policies proven to annihilate housing supply. Driving private landlords into bankruptcy clears the field for the state to become the sole arbiter of shelter, reducing self-reliant property owners to desperate tenants begging federal bureaucrats for a roof. In the streets, they have unleashed a regime of calculated lawlessness designed to terrorize the productive class. Abolishing cash bail for violent predators, downgrading felonies to misdemeanors, and installing rogue prosecutors who legalize rampant theft have turned once-thriving metropolitan centers into boarded-up wastelands. They release career criminals into your neighborhoods and prosecute the lawful citizen who dares to defend his family. Exporting this urban carnage to suburbs and rural towns is a deliberate strategy: manufacture unbearable chaos until a terrified populace surrenders its liberties in exchange for authoritarian state control. Within the classroom, they wage a psychological campaign to sever the sacred bond between parent and child. Public education has been weaponized to inject racial grievance and gender ideology directly into the minds of the youth, conditioning children to despise their heritage, their country, and their own biology. School administrators secretly facilitate irreversible medical interventions for minors while concealing records from mothers and fathers. When parents dare to object at school board meetings, the federal security apparatus treats them as domestic insurgents. The nuclear family is the ultimate obstacle to total state loyalty, so the left seeks its systematic dissolution. On the world stage, their foreign policy is a lethal cocktail of civilizational self-hatred and financial laundering. They appease the theocratic tyrants in Tehran with billions in unfrozen assets, leave Taiwan exposed to communist aggression, and subsidize regimes that openly plot the destruction of Western allies. They bleed the American military dry through aimless, unwinnable entanglements abroad while treating the domestic taxpayer as an infinite slush fund for globalist NGOs and foreign kleptocracies. To finance this leviathan, they intend to confiscate the generational wealth of the American family. Taxing unrealized capital gains means the IRS will pillage your retirement accounts, your home equity, and your small business valuation before you ever sell a single asset. Punitive corporate tax hikes will drive remaining domestic manufacturing straight into the arms of Beijing, while a predatory wealth tax will force family farms and multi-generational enterprises onto the auction block upon the death of their founders. An economically independent citizenry resists coercion, which is why private inheritance must be eradicated. Behold the final endgame of the progressive machine: the controlled demolition of a free people. Every policy is a precision strike aimed at stripping away your wealth, your security, your family, and your vote until all that remains is a docile, dependent population that ratifies its own servitude every November. They have laid their blueprint for tyranny directly on the table. The survival of the republic now rests entirely on whether patriotic Americans possess the spine to crush this agenda and reclaim the nation their ancestors built.

The head of war plans for the Joint Chiefs of Staff just got relieved of duty. The usual suspects in the Democrat/Media Complex are lying about why and how that happened. My article below examines the affair and explains its deeper meaning. ~1,700 words. Please read if so inclined.

Rant: Got last minute travel today, so won't be doing a Democracy Files drop today. But saw that the person at the center of the files posted about "unimaginable horrors." Let me tell you why I got interested in "democracy" in the first place. I've told this story many times, but here again: I was DOGE adjacent from the very beginning. I was recruited by several DOGE teams in January 2025, because I was excited about the opportunity to finally cut spending and taming the national debt. Bu then - Tesla Takedown protests happened. People got so worked up that they were firebombing innocent Tesla owners. A viral website with a Molotov cocktail cursor prominently featured my husband's address. I was doxxed in the middle of that, and forced to flee the state and homeschool my children. That's when I started researching and writing UNELECTED. I quickly found the groups organizing and funding the civil unrest were all about "democracy." It made no sense to me. DOGE wasn't overturning elections. They were cutting obviously silly awards - given our national deficit, who would object to that? Silly me! Turns out "democracy" means diffused rule by unelected people, and all that USAID money going to marginalized groups to build a "civil society" is the foundation of that. So the immune system of "civil unrest" can be activated anytime, and terrorize anyone who dares to step out of line. Such as DOGE employees. Such as me and my family. That research trail led me all the way to DemAID (now DRG), a group of ex-USAID officers. Led by you and Ro Tucci. @iamlisalogan and @SKDoubleDub33 found DemAID on video taking credit for these protests. But this isn't about me. This is about the United States. And about the dozens of countries wrecked by color revolutions. You aren't solving polarization. You are the source of polarization, because in the process of building "civil society," you are displacing people's inborn allegiances and training them up to attack the very foundations a nation are founded upon. Nor is this about revenge or anger. I'm calling on everyone to pray that no more damage is done, and that we can find a path forward that preserves our Constitutional Republic.

This is an all-time pathetic interview. Dana Bash WOULD NOT admit that what Democrats are doing in Alaska is wrong. She refused to say it. She did however have no problem accusing Trump of trying to steal the election in Alaska because he's talking about Democrats actual attempt to cheat. This is CNN. Defending cheating in an election because it's Democrats who are doing it. Absolute garbage.

I find it interesting that the people most unsuited for a paradigm where brutal violence is the determining factor in society are the ones who giggle as they promote it. Careful what you wish for.
this is not a small group of people on the left anymore, but a large, dominant faction without whom democrats can’t win elections. and there is no debating them, because they aren’t interested in changing your mind. they just earnestly want you to die.

There are two political parties. Republican and Insanity. Republicans are far from perfect, but it's far better than Insanity.
At @UTSA for Pick Up the Mic, a student read a poem celebrating the assassination of Charlie Kirk with such glee, then told me I was brave to be out here without my neck covered. I told her I’d pray for her. This is the climate. We pick up the mic anyway.

Friends, I could really use some help. A large group of Amish builders from Ohio are spending the next FIVE MONTHS fixing homes damaged by Hurricane Helene for FREE in Western North Carolina and South Carolina. There's just one problem... the Amish don't drive, so they need drivers to take them back and forth to job sites and drop off trailers (if you have a truck). I have already volunteered to help, but we need more volunteers. If you feel led and are in the area, there's a sign up sheet in the comments. You'll get free breakfast and free dinner too + you'll get to meet some of the heroes who have been working here to rebuild.

We can’t let the globalists win in America. Brazil just showed the playbook: Lula wins, the opposition concedes, and within minutes a judge seizes passports and bans travel—no charges, just power. The media and NGOs that would scream if the roles were reversed stay silent. Soros-backed groups fund the capture. Supporters burn American flags. The same networks, courts, and selective outrage operate here. Lose and the institutions become weapons. Win and they become shields. The goal is the same: neutralize anyone who rejects managed decline and open borders. America still has the strength to stop it. That edge disappears the moment opposition is treated as illegitimate and elections only count when the “right” side wins. Once the institutions are fully captured, the passport seizures and flag-burning become domestic policy. Get out and vote and prove we are what democracy stands for!
