Elwood P. Dowd :
Years ago my mother used to say to me, she'd say, "In this world, Elwood, you must be" - she always called me Elwood - "In this world, Elwood, you must be oh so smart or oh so pleasant."
Well, for years I was smart. I recommend pleasant. You may quote me.

King Josiah did what was right in God's eyes when, after rediscovering the Book of the Covenant (believed to be Deuteronomy) he read it to the people.

Why so many Patriots despise @LeaderJohnThune :
Losing to the Dems in a fair fight is frustrating and disappointing.
But losing because your "Leader" in the Senate is playing for the other team is infuriating and rage inducing.

No problem. Germany has wind and solar, billions of Euro worth.
🇪🇺 European natural gas prices are starting to look absolutely brutal.
January: ~€28/MWh
Now: ~€74/MWh
That’s roughly a 160% increase in nine months, with Europe heading toward winter and the benchmark gas price already sitting near levels nobody wanted to see again.
Winter hasn’t even started yet 💀

Stunning. Who needs nukes when you can send 5,000 precision drones per month to hit critical infrastructure?
THE 'HAMMER OF THOR' ENTERS THE CONFLICT...
Ukraine has developed a lethal medium-range strike drone called 'Thor's Hammer' (Molot Tora).
This devastating aerial asset packs a massive 40–50 kg warhead and boasts an operational range of up to 600 kilometers.
The scale of production is set to be just as potent...
The manufacturer plans to ramp up assembly to a staggering 5,000 drones per month by the end of the year.
This massive influx of long-range precision firepower will dramatically expand Ukraine's ability to shatter enemy military infrastructure and logistics long before they ever reach the front line.

With images like this one going viral, Le Pen soon will become a centrist political force in France.
Notice how those who are telling you that burning a bystander’s face constitutes protesting against insufficient funding for schools are also repeatedly scaremongering about the rise of the ‘far right’ in Europe.

I know several people that worked in CA and sold their homes for $1-2M, returned to St. Louis with enough money to buy a very nice home and have money in the bank or investment income.
This is the most disgusting housing fact you'll read all week:
You can build an entire home in Houston for less than you will pay in JUST FEES for an equal-sized home in Mountain View, California.
Local control is an abject failure and is destroying California.

Teachers Unions have been an absolute disaster for the kids.
The Hill is out with my column on the "Education Cartel" and how it is strangling the life out of the school system. thehill.com/opinion/educatio… Everyone is getting windfall profits, from the unions to the politicians. Only the kids are being shortchanged by America’s school system.

Kirk was 100% correct. A Christian can be a lot of things. I can be a Christian and a Laker fan. I can be a Christian as well as a lover of Neo Soul. I can be a Christian, and a nature enthusiast. Those things don’t negate or override my faith. Yes you can be a Christian in faith, but in your politics, you can be a nationalist, a Republican and even a democrat, despite who demonic much of that party has become. I am a Christian above all. My faith will override it all the moment they reach n opposition to that.
When a Christian Actually Knew the Bible.
I just watched that clip of the aerospace engineering student questioning Charlie Kirk, and wow it was the smartest question anyone has asked him in a long time.
The student wasn't attacking faith. He was defending it. He basically said: The early church didn't try to take over Rome, they tried to live like Jesus _inside_ Rome. So how do we reconcile Christian Nationalism this idea of fusing political power with Christian identity with that?
Charlie's answer was classic Charlie. He went straight to the Old Testament Joseph advising Pharaoh, Daniel in Babylon, David as King. And yes, that's in the Bible.
But here's my take, and this is where the student was 100% right:
The Old Testament is full of theocracies and prophets advising kings. The NEW Testament, the part Christians claim to follow after Christ, is completely different. Jesus literally said "My kingdom is not of this world." Paul wrote letters under a pagan empire and never once said "take over the Senate." The early Christians were persecuted because they _refused_ to make Caesar their Lord.
That's the disconnect.
Faith SHOULD inform politics. If you are a Christian, your values will absolutely affect how you vote, how you serve, how you treat people. That's civic responsibility.
But when you flip it when politics starts informing your faith, when you need political power to feel like your faith is valid you've lost the plot. You've turned a cross into a flagpole.
The student understood something Charlie missed. Christianity was never meant to be the government. It was meant to be the conscience OF the government.
What do you guys think? Should faith shape politics, or should politics stay out of faith?

When referencing Muslim thuggery in France, the French media refers to them as "Les Jeunes." The youth. But the youth are not Vietnamese youth; they are not Japanese youth; they are not Hasidic Jews youth. They are Muslims but it is mean and Islamophobic to call them by their actual identity. In Britain, the Pakistani child rapists are called "Asian men." Now the mayhem in France is apparently not due to Muslim youth but to "high school protesters." ANYTHING is better than to be accused of Islamophobia. Give up your children, your women, your heritage, your society, your religion, your culture, your civilization but don't you dare be Islamophobic.

Not long ago, a Woke Right person mockingly tweeted the rhetorical question: where in the Bible does the Bible tell you to read the Bible? And so for the mocking and the obtuse, I offer this passage.

Electricity is the primary driver of productivity and productivity drives down costs and standard of living up.
One of the insanities of our day is making energy more expensive. Democrats have been hard at work on this for the last 60 years.

There are lots of easy pressure points we could start triggering with cumulative impacts to collapse Iran.
We do not need massive bombing at this point.
It's a shame most of the media doesn't realize the Mullahs are on the ropes and once we rid the world of this evil, we're all better off. My criticism is that the intense economic pressure should have been brought Day One, along w more bombing until they relented --Adm. Brad Cooper and the forces of U.S. Central Command have turned around the battle of the Strait of Hormuz. wsj.com/opinion/strait-of-ho… via @WSJopinion

This is a really interesting situation. It is another example of the Republican Senate sabotaging the President. Here is why.
US attorneys are nominated by the President subject to confirmation by the Senate. Once confirmed they serve at the pleasure of the President who may fire them without cause.
Here the failure of the Senate to confirm or allow recess appointments prevented the President filling the US Attorney office and at that point another statute allowed the Judges to make an appointment. And now one of those judges holds that an appointment under this process ALSO prevents the President from exercising his prerogative of firing the US Attorney.
The Department of Justice works in the Executive Branch.
The Executive Branch is led by an elected representative--the President.
The judges who unconstitutionally decided this guy should work in the Department of Justice are unelected.
Please explain, using words that even a Democrat could understand, how such fact pattern preserves "our democracy," you ignorant, lying, mealy-mouthed, America-hating, reprehensible, loathsome stooge.
EXPLAIN YOURSELF.

British intelligence aircraft increase flights over Kaliningrad Russia as the Baltics prepare for invasion!! They have purchased and deployed HIMARS from the US but are seeking additional purchases!!
Currently digging trenches and installing dragons teeth barriers and concertina wire! Flooding lower areas to restore marshes and wetlands!! Anything they can do to slow down a Russian mechanized assault!
Special concern exists at the Suwalki Gap between Belarus and Kaliningrad!
