They said the Director was “missing in action.” The record says otherwise.
4 personal days off this year. Less personal travel. More days working.
And the mission results that were laid out today:
→ Murder down roughly 20%
→ 54,000 violent felons arrested
→ 11,000 child victims located
→ 6 Most Wanted Fraudsters captured—tied to $2 BILLION in alleged fraud
→ Enough fentanyl seized to save countless American lives
We have the calendars. We have the receipts. And most importantly—we have the results.
The men and women of this FBI are working every day to crush violent crime and defend the homeland.

🚨 WOW! FBI Director Kash Patel just FLIPPED THE SCRIPT to insufferable Sen. Welch (D)'s face
"Are you DONE with your CAMPAIGN AD? By the way, I wanna know how YOUR wealth increased +4,000% percent since you became United States senator! THAT'S a magic act all Americans should know!"
🔥🔥🔥
@FBIDirectorKash holds nothing back.
Before this moment, Welch was sitting there BERATING Patel for matters totally unrelated to crushing violent crime and fearmongered about the 2026 election.
BRAVO!

I reread this every year.
I cry like a baby every year.
Todd Beamer died a father, husband, and hero.
Todd: Hello… Operator… listen to me. I can’t speak very loud. This is an emergency. I’m a passenger on a United flight to San Francisco. Our plane has been hijacked.
Lisa: I understand. Can they see you?
Todd: No. There are three that we know of. They have knives — razor knives, like box cutters. Someone announced from the cockpit there was a bomb. It sounded fake.
Lisa: Your name?Todd: Todd Beamer. United Flight 93.Todd: They killed one passenger in first class. They forced most of us back. Fourteen of us here. Five flight attendants. The guy with the bomb ordered us to sit on the floor.
Lisa: Are you okay?
Todd: We’re going down… wait. No. We’re leveling off. We changed directions. We’re flying east again.
Todd: A guy named Jeremy called his wife. She told him two planes hit the World Trade Center. Lisa, is that true?
Lisa: I have to tell you the truth. It’s very bad. Both towers are gone. A third plane hit the Pentagon. Our country is under attack. I’m afraid your plane may be part of their plan.
Todd: Oh God. Lisa, will you do something for me? Call my wife and my kids. Promise me you’ll call.
Lisa: I promise.
Todd: Our home number is… You have the same name as my wife. Lisa. We’ve been married ten years. She’s pregnant with our third child. Tell her I love her. I’ll always love her. We have two boys — David, he’s 3, and Andrew, he’s 1. Tell them their daddy loves them and he is so proud of them. The baby is due January 12th. I saw an ultrasound. We still don’t know if it’s a girl or a boy.
Lisa: I’ll tell them. I promise, Todd.(Lisa patches in the FBI.)
Agent: Todd, your plane is on a course for Washington. Best guess is the White House or the Capitol.
Todd: I understand. I’ll be back.
Todd: Everyone knows this isn’t a normal hijacking. We have decided we will not be pawns in their plot.
Lisa: What are you going to do?
Todd: Four of us are going to rush the one with the bomb. Then the cockpit. A stewardess is getting boiling water. We’ll take them out.
Todd: Would you pray with me?They pray the Lord’s Prayer. Then: Yea, though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I will fear no evil, for thou art with me.
Todd: God help me. Jesus help me.Are you guys ready? Let’s Roll.

The MAC now says the Big Ten blew it and violated instant replay protocols and Western Michigan actually won the game.
Ben Hamrick retweeted
Wow, in the NFL the game clock everyone sees on TV is used to govern all disputes. Not the super secret clock the Big Ten supposedly used. This keeps getting worse for the Big Ten. Credit for good reporting here.
Mike Pereira says NFL officials are supposed to use the clock the public can see on reviews if there's a discrepancy.
It's not clear if CFB is supposed to do the same.

Doug Eddings made things personal tonight with the St. Louis Cardinals.
Blatantly called a player safe at home when the tag was applied before the runner got to the plate.
Then he stopped the game to tell RP Rincon to straighten his hat.
The @MLB needs to look into this.

All time ump show in Colorado last night:
- Made the pitcher straighten his hat
- When the coach came out to argue, gave him a pitch clock violation
- Missed an easy call at home

🚨🚨 BOMBSHELL FROM THE EDGE OF THE WORLD 🚨🚨
James O’Keefe just DROPPED into the most remote Alaskan island imaginable… and COMPLETELY DESTROYED Lisa Murkowski’s biggest lie about the SAVE America Act.
She claimed remote Alaskans would be FORCED to fly to Anchorage, spend $1,000+, just to prove citizenship.
GUESS WHAT?
Locals in Unalaska just confirmed on camera:
You can do it at the LOCAL LIBRARY.
You can do it at the DMV.
You can even REGISTER AND VOTE right at CITY HALL.
No $1,000 flight.
No hotel.
No excuses.
Murkowski looked America in the eye and LIED to protect the status quo.
This isn’t a policy debate anymore.
This is pure betrayal.
Murkowski MUST GO.
NOW.
Who’s ready to end her career? 🔥

THOMAS JEFFERSON SAID, "IF SERVING IN AN ELECTED OFFICE EVER BECOMES A CAREER, CORRUPTION WILL SURELY FOLLOW." I THINK HE NAILED IT.
Readers added context they thought people might want to know
Thomas Jefferson did not say "If serving in an elected office ever becomes a career, corruption will surely follow." No record of this quote exists in his writings.

Here's a look at the crowds at Bellerive for the final round of the BMW Championship on Sunday.
Officials said 155,000 people attended this week.
If you host a big sports event... St. Louis will come. Guaranteed.
Ben Hamrick retweeted
St. Louis broke the record for BMW Championship attendance, with over 150,000 people showing up at Bellerive.
We saw it at the 2018 PGA, we see it at the champions tour event every year, and we saw it this weekend.
Bring a PGA tour event here every year, and people will come.

If you took Pritzker’s record in managing the state of Illinois and made it analogous to that of a CEO of a major corporation, he would have been fired by the Board of Directors years ago.
In Illinois the Board of Directors are the voters so in November do the same, fire Pritzker
Is it any wonder why his family paid him billions to leave the family empire ……
No surprise. At 48th in population growth, 46th in private sector job growth, 46th in wage growth, Illinois ranks near bottom by every critical economic indicator. Since 2019, Illinois has lost well over 400,000 residents, most of whom are middle- and upper-income earners.
It’s easy to see why.
Despite $54 billion in total federal COVID aid, Gov. Pritzker poured gasoline on the COVID fire by continuing to raise taxes and fees both during COVID and during COVID recovery, suffocating Illinois economy, while 39 states and every surrounding state lowered taxes.
The National Bureau of Economic Research gave Pritzker’s COVID crisis management an “F,” ranking Illinois 46th among states. Illinois residents now pay the highest combined taxes and fees in the nation as Illinois residents taxed at 52% higher than the national average.
