Paris is burning. Think it can’t happen here? Neville Singham’s network reaches across borders & the Sunrise Movement is already targeting American businesses. Their agenda threatens the republic as we know it. Don’t wait for the destruction to reach your doorstep. Stop the Sunrise Movement. VOTE.

🔥Vice President @JDVance is calling on our leaders to take the pledge to PROTECT Americans from fraudsters "Together, we can have a unified front in the war on fraud" ⬇️
Do you hate fraud? If so, I’m calling on you to join me in taking the pledge to protect Americans from fraudsters, by doing everything in your power to ensure that: 1. Vulnerable Americans, such as the elderly, indigent, and disabled, are protected from fraudsters who seek to prey on them. 2. Taxpayer-funded programs serve law-abiding Americans, not illegal aliens or fraudsters. 3. Taxpayer-funded benefits are not used by fraudsters to buy mansions or luxury cars. 4. Public agencies and officials work tirelessly and aggressively, coordinating at all levels of government, to stop fraud before payments go out the door. 5. Fraudsters face justice for their crimes in a court of law. Convicted fraudsters will be imprisoned and barred from ever receiving another penny of taxpayer dollars. 6. Illegal alien fraudsters are promptly arrested, prosecuted, imprisoned, and deported, never able to take advantage of Americans’ generosity again.

Georgia, faith voters have a voice, and November 3 is the time to use it. Don't sit this election out. Make your plan. Cast your ballot. Let your voice be heard! 🇺🇸
43% of faith voters stay home during midterms. Staying home is a vote AGAINST religious freedom, closed borders, safe communities and strong families. November 3 is OUR DAY. Make your voice heard and keep our Nation free!

Where's the Beef? Fundamentally, Dirty Jobs was a tribute to two industries – agriculture and mining. In the words of a fourth-generation coal miner I met back in Season One, “There ain’t but two jobs in the whole world – farmin’ and minin’. Every thang else is jist a hobby folks get paid for.” He wasn’t the first to say it, and I won’t be the last to repeat it. Especially today, when so much of what we do for work takes place in spaces that we can’t physically occupy. The cloud, the blockchain, the latest LLM, and whatever other digital layer now passes for a modern workplace would not exist without our ability to extract rare earths and critical minerals and turn them into something useful. Beyond the infrastructure that defines civilized life, every single piece of modern technology – including all of the software and all of the artificial intelligence that’s overtaken the headlines - is wholly reliant on mining. Just as every single miner, regardless of what they’re in the business of extracting, is wholly reliant on modern agriculture - not only to keep them fed, but to keep them clothed. It’s easy to forget about our reliance on farmers and ranchers when the national pantry is fully stocked with affordable food, but that's not the case today. In fact, the government - through a presidential proclamation - just agreed to import 300,000 metric tons of ground beef into our national food supply, from places like Mexico and South America. And every rancher I know is alarmed, to say the least. On this weeks episode, I asked Brooke Rollins @SecRollins, the Secretary of Agriculture, to explain what the administration is doing with regard to cost of beef, and how this decision to import so much beef is good for American farmers and ranchers. Like everyone else who shares my addiction to chewing and swallowing things, I'm appalled by the current price of meat, and curious as to why our ranchers are suddenly unable to provide us with affordable ground beef. I’m glad the Secretary made time to chat, and hope you enjoy our conversation as much as I did. bit.ly/TWIHI505BrookeRollins

Where the Mountains Know My Name There’s something about coming home in the fall. After too many roads and too many miles, too many airports, hotel rooms, and mornings that begin somewhere other than home, I feel something inside me settle when the North Georgia mountains finally rise into view. I know these roads. I know the way the ridgelines roll blue in the distance, old as memory and steady as prayer. I know the curves that lead me home and the familiar mountains standing watch like they have been waiting for me to return. The cool mountain air wraps its arms around me like a warm blanket pulled up against the chill, and somehow I breathe a little deeper here. This time of year, the mountains are putting on their Sunday colors. Deep crimson, burnt orange, and gold spill across the hillsides, with a little green still holding on. The colors weave their magic across the mountains like a patchwork quilt, stitched together by autumn and laid gently across the ridges and valleys of the place I have always called home. One by one, the leaves let go. They drift across the mountain roads, gather along the edges of the yard, and crunch beneath my feet. There’s a lesson in that, I suppose, in knowing when to hold on and when to trust the wind with what has already had its season. Then I step inside and smell the coffee brewing. That smell alone feels like home. Rich and warm and familiar, it fills the kitchen and slows me down. I wrap both hands around my cup, feel the warmth against my fingers, and look out toward the mountains through a window I have looked through more times than I could ever count. For once, I do not need to be anywhere else. No suitcase waiting to be packed. No road calling. No schedule pulling me toward the next thing. Just coffee in my hands, fall outside my window, and the quiet comfort of being home. I have traveled enough to know there are beautiful places in this world, and I am grateful for every one I have been blessed to see. But there is a difference between seeing somewhere beautiful and belonging somewhere. I belong here. Here, where the mountains know my name. Where generations before me looked toward these same ridges, walked beneath these same changing leaves, and called this corner of Georgia home. Maybe that is why returning feels like more than coming back to a place. It feels like coming back to myself. And every autumn, when the mountains put on their Sunday colors, the leaves begin to fall, and the morning air turns crisp and clean, North Georgia seems to whisper the same familiar words: You’ve wandered long enough. Come on in. Pour yourself some coffee. Rest awhile. You’re home. By: Rebecca Fanny Yardley

After a great conversation with President @realDonaldTrump, I officially invited him to my first @WNBA game in 2027. Also, @NBA Hall of Famer @dennisrodman has agreed to coach me this offseason and get me ready for the #WNBA season. Can’t wait to become the greatest female @WNBA player of all time. Rules Are Rules! #LetFreedomPlay

When “activism” means shutting down the economy and targeting kids to advance your agenda, Americans deserve to know exactly who’s behind it. Sunlight is a powerful disinfectant. Keep documenting. Keep exposing. 👀
“We’ll shut down the economy until we get our demands” Meet the Sunrise Movement - just one of the many socialist groups trying to destroy our country at ANY COST. …But they’re not just campaigning. They’re targeting and manipulating your children. We’ve been documenting them. Watch ⬇️

Public safety shouldn’t come at the expense of individual privacy. Flock cameras can be a valuable law enforcement tool but without clear guardrails, where do we draw the line? AFPI’s new policy paper offers a balanced approach. Worth the read. 👇 americafirstpolicy.com/issue…

“When people stop talking that is when you get violence.” Let’s continue the conversation, even when we disagree, remembering that respect and kindness doesn’t come with a price tag - it’s free!
One year ago today, we lost Charlie Kirk. When people stop talking, you get violence. That's why he always kept the microphone open, even for the people who hated him. America is the greatest country in the world, and we WILL NOT let its enemies silence us. THAT is Charlie's legacy.

.@kayleigh_kozak is more than a colleague at @A1Policy—she is a courageous voice for victims and a powerful advocate for change. I’m looking forward to bringing Kayleigh’s Law to Georgia next legislative session and standing alongside her in the fight to protect victims and strengthen public safety.
🇺🇸WATCH🇺🇸 "Mr. Speaker, I rise today as a former prosecutor and as an Arizonan who has seen what happens when the system prioritizes a criminal over the victim." Congressman Hamadeh takes the House floor to champion his bill, H.R. 8481, the Kayleigh’s Law Act of 2026.

As a mom raising daughters, I want there to be women’s sports left for them to play. The few “Protect Women’s Sports” activists who are opposing the Protect College Sports Act are, sadly, not in touch with reality. The current system is broken. Without this much needed reform, the sports you’re fighting for may cease to exist.
🚨The White House just ENDORSED S. 4668, the Protect College Sports Act. This bipartisan legislation will preserve opportunities and curtail the endless litigation that has long plagued college athletics. 500,000+ student-athletes and nearly $4 BILLION in scholarships are on the line. Congress must act.
