You believe independent oversight is good. How do you feel about more regular health inspections of abortion facilities? @ilyseh #prolife xitter.cf/ilyseh/status/81636224…

In fairness, I wasn't applying 2 b ON Ethics Committee just suggesting independent oversight is a good thing. You disagree?

Gavin Newsom: “We have to completely reimagine” America. Barack Obama: “We are five days away from fundamentally transforming the United States of America.” The Left despises the Constitution & America as founded. Why would you hand them your country?
UNDERCOVER: GAVIN NEWSOM SAYS THE DSA IS "GOING TO BE DOMINANT" AND "MAINSTREAM" IN THE DEMOCRATIC PARTY! "The DSA, the energy and the desire and demand for bold change, not incremental change, is very much going to be dominant. I mean, that's going to be a mainstream Democratic movement. Absolutely. No question about that." That's California Gov. Gavin Newsom, a likely 2028 presidential candidate, speaking to an undercover journalist while campaigning in New Hampshire. Asked by a "younger voter" who said "we don't want Kamala Harris, we want more democratic socialist policies": "No one is arguing to manage the status quo and fail more efficiently." "You can't play in the margins anymore. The system's broken. It's completely unbalanced, and we can't manage the decline. We have to completely reimagine."

Foreign aid is an unpopular, unconstitutional tax on Americans to benefit corrupt, useless, and often anti-American governments overseas. End it all.
In lieu of yesterday’s terrorist attack on the Orthodox Christian funeral mass in Jordan, I must remind you that Jordan is the 3rd largest recipient of foreign aid. It must all be ended. Foreign aid is socialism and must be opposed.

"Tender Mercies" is a beautiful film and performance both because Mac Sludge finds his redemption in the faith and support of a good Christian woman, but also because faith is not an easy path and Mac suffers grievously.
Robert Duvall won the Academy Award for Best Actor for his performance in Tender Mercies & I don’t know how acting can get better than this. Duvall plays a broken man with essentially nothing to live for & no reason to keep moving forward. It’s a story about a quiet redemption & a man’s quest to find new purpose. It’s a beautiful film that I think you should watch.

An honest free press is essential to defending freedom. Instead, we have the controlled media.

At the Orthodox gym, you get through Orthros and get the big hamstrings.
This is how you build big hamstrings at home. No equipment needed. Just kneel on a pillow and hook your feet under a piece of heavy furniture. Put additional weight on it if necessary. Building up to a proper Nordic curl without any arm assistance will take a long time, so I recommend the following progression: At first, use your full palms to push yourself off the floor. Once that becomes easy, push with just your fingertips. Then, start subtracting fingers one by one. The fewer fingers you use, the less your arms will be able to help. I'm currently down to using just my thumbs, and feel I'm getting close to getting my first unassisted Nordic curl. For fast progress, do four sets of ten reps every other day. Use your arms only as much as you need to help you complete the movement. The last reps should be hard and slow ("grinders"). Final note: You can also do this exercise by having a training partner hold your ankles down or sit on your heels, but I don't recommend this, as that makes you dependent on another person for your training, and that will mess with your consistency.

I’m a few minutes late to commemorate the 50th anniversary of the Hungarian Uprising of 1956 — and the Kremlin’s crackdown against freedom. I’ve been blessed to hear the stories of survivors, who remember the screams of loved ones as Soviet tanks drove over them. Eternal memory!
On this day, we commemorate the 70th anniversary of the Hungarian Revolution of 1956. We remember all those who stood against the evil of communism. We honor the young freedom fighters who sacrificed everything to join the struggle against tyranny, especially those who made the ultimate sacrifice. These young men and women had their entire lives ahead of them, yet when duty called, they put everything on the line, taking to the streets to defend their families, their nation, and their freedom. Instead of watching passively from their classrooms, they joined the fight, knowing well that it may be their last. Finally, we remember the innocent lives lost and forever scarred by the horrors of communism. To us at the VOC, it remains deeply troubling that so many around the world continue to glorify this wretched ideology. It is therefore our duty to ensure that the dark history of communism is never forgotten—not only for the sake of future generations, but also in honour of the countless men and women whose lives, dreams, and futures were stolen by it.

Good point. I strongly disagreed with Lindsey Graham, but the new story is stupid. He was a damaging senator because he promoted foreign policy that was bad for the country, not because he was allegedly secretly gay. Talking about alleged private moral sins distracts from worthwhile and necessary policy debate.
Lindsey Graham’s use of male escorts is a seismic story on par with outing Barry Manilow or Pee Wee Herman. But it proves Beltway blowhards who praised Graham’s “moral clarity” on foreign policy have none. Graham’s bloodthirsty foreign policy and lifelong campaign to entangle America in never-ending wars of choice that have no bearing on our national interests should have long ago discredited Graham and those who promoted this alleged pederast among the rank-and-file as a moral exemplar.

Elder Aimilianos has the antidote for those struggling with despair.
“What are you saying? God cannot save you? Is He, Who made such a great world, an endless number of people and angels and heavens, not able to save your soul, no matter what state it might be in? Of course He can! See how the mercy of God comes down, not only to forgive our sin, but also to enter the depths of our soul, and searches to find whatever bad we have buried there, so He can heal it.” - Elder Aimilianos, On Hope & Repentance, p. 17

Safety net, noun. A slush fund that is taken from taxpayer dollars for the purpose of enriching foreigners, often illegally in the United States.
15 of 15 New York Social Adult Daycares audited yesterday showed no record of a single meal, activity, or hour of supervision — just attendance sheets. These daycares are receiving millions from our Medicaid system and providing NOTHING in return —this is FRAUD!

Every dollar lost to fraud is a dollar taken from taxpayers. If you have information about fraud, DOJ is now fast-tracking rewards for tips that lead to criminal charges. Take advantage of this offer and help protect taxpayer funds.
Justice Department Announces Innovative Whistleblower Rewards Program to Combat Fraud Tipsters Eligible for up to $30,000 in Fast-Track Payments “Protecting the American people from fraud remains a top priority for the Department of Justice,” said @AGToddBlanche. “The Fraud Whistleblower Incentive Program (WHIP) offers everyone the opportunity to be part of the solution, help expose fraud, and be rewarded quickly for their efforts. I urge all Americans to use this program and play an active role in bringing fraudsters to justice.” 🔗: justice.gov/opa/pr/justice-d…

The first time I heard John Anderson, his voice made a profound impression. I learned to imitate it and replicated it onstage for years. Here’s one of his underappreciated cuts, “Twelve Bar Blues,” penned by Mac McAnally for the “Tokyo, Oklahoma” LP. RIP. m.youtube.com/watch?v=Oqz145…
“John Anderson (1954–2026) was a one-of-a-kind stylist. Whether borrowing inspiration from Lefty Frizzell or the Florida swamp land, he brought creative soul to the world. John famously gave life to Billy Joe Shaver’s lyric, ‘I’m just an old chunk of coal, but I’ll be a diamond someday.’ He was already a diamond then, and a diamond he always will be.” — Kyle Young, CEO
