Wonderful time w/family & friends at "Camp Meeting" at Cypress Methodist Camp Ground. Camp Meeting is a great tradition of Christian fellowship & coming together that goes back to "The Great Awakening" when Bishop Francis Asbury rode the circuit. #campmeeting #fellowship ✝️

Our administration must refuse to recognize the election in Brazil and the government there. Pull the plug on that hideous regime.
Brazilian journalist Malu Gaspar says all Superior Electoral Court ministers were against the idea of extending the voting in Brazil by 2 hours. Zanin, Lula’s former personal lawyer, appointed by Lula to Supreme Court Justice made that decision anyway

🚨 JUST IN: Right-wing Brazilian businessman and Flávio Bolsonaro ally Pablo Marçal ERUPTS outside Bolsonaro's election-night headquarters after Supreme Court Justice Cristiano Zanin — Lula's former personal lawyer — extended voting hours AFTER polls had already closed "The decision arrives at 5:04 p.m. without notification to the Electoral Court or any state court — the voting machines were already closed, and there is NO WAY to open a machine back up again!" "Who left their voting machines open past the deadline? The machines had to be closed and sealed at 5:00 p.m. sharp! I want to know which voting machines are still open — we have to put a MAGNIFYING GLASS on those machines!" "Only 17 cities were requested on one side [for storms] and Lula's party requested two — 17 plus 2 is 19. Now to leave all 5,569 cities in Brazil waiting is ABSURD!" "Whenever they are losing, they always act like this!" He nailed the biggest question of the night: why were ANY precincts still unsealed past 5PM when everyone who followed the law was already locked out? THIS IS A STRAIGHT UP COUP. RIGGING THE ELECTION. If Bolsonaro wins tonight it will be a comeback of the ages!

The national anthem is bigger than Donald Trump, LeBron James or any political feud. It belongs to all of us and it deserves respect. This controversy did not begin with Trump. Colin Kaepernick’s anthem protest began in 2016, before Trump took office. The WNBA walkouts are part of a longer debate, too. In the Finals, the Atlanta Dream and Golden State Valkyries left the court before the anthem and returned after it ended. Whatever their intent, many fans see that absence as disrespectful. Trump can criticize LeBron, and LeBron can answer him. But their feud should not obscure the larger point: the flag and anthem represent our country, its people and those who have served and sacrificed for it. They do not belong to one president or one political party. People have every right to criticize a president or protest a policy. But we should still be able to honor the symbols that unite us. Respect for the anthem should not depend on who occupies the White House or who is standing on the court. AW

Van Hipp, Chairman of American Defense International and Former US Deputy Assistant Secretary of the Army, says stronger IAEA powers and inspectors on the ground are essential to verifying Iran’s nuclear activities. Speaking from Washington, D.C., he says military pressure has been effective and credits US Central Command with helping maintain shipping through the Strait of Hormuz. @OmarButtPK @iqrahanif2610 @VanHipp #IranNuclear #IAEA #StraitOfHormuz #MiddleEast #MaritimeSecurity #PakistanTV

I want to share something I can no longer contain. I’m flying home after one of the most profound experiences of my life - and my life has been a roller coaster. I was surprisingly assigned to direct media relations for the Hubbard family, who have been dying every day since their dad Stephen Hubbard was imprisoned in 2022 in Russia - in Pakino, one of the worst prisons in the world. He was being released! It seemed like a miracle. Since Sunday I have been beside his son, Father Iosif Coleman, an American Orthodox priest in Cyprus. Imagine a broken man like me being given a gift like this - nearly a week with a man of deep and abiding faith welcoming his father home from turmoil and agony that makes our family’s experience look like a merry-go-round. First in Miami, then DC. We walked on the beach and in the streets of Georgetown. And we talked and talked. What a gift. What timing. God knew I needed this. I am blown away and forever changed. I’m thinking differently and I see firsthand the hope President Trump brings to a modest American family without connections or cash. A family like ours. For a year now I could not find hope, no matter how hard I tried. So God sent me Father Joe. And now, the White House announcement on @TelizhenkoAndy? My roller coaster continues, but in the sunlight of a new day. SAVE THE TELIZHENKO FAMILY NEXT! Thank you @EMD_worldwide and @BSFllp in the US and EPAM Law, the family’s attorneys in Moscow. This was a rare gift of light for my darkened heart. I did not deserve this, for sure. And especially - thank you @realdonaldtrump for your profound mercy and this gift to me. You never cease to amaze me. We just landed. I’m going home now to hug all my girls and tell them of these days - if I can find the words. Glory to God in all things!

Fantastic role model for all Americans.
Coach Tony Dungy is not only one of my favorite coaches, he also has been a role model as a Christian man for me my entire adult life. When he coached you never knew by looking at him if he was losing or winning, his demeanor was exactly the same.

The nature of warfare is changing faster than our military's traditional processes can accommodate. The new Autonomous Warfare Command is long overdue, but it must have the authority, resources and flexibility to move at the speed of modern warfare. My @NEWSMAX op-ed: newsmax.com/vanhipp/autonomo…

R.I.P. Tech. Sgt. Ian Patterson E.O.W. 10-17-2026 The U.S. Air Force has officially identified the service member who tragically died after falling approximately 170 feet during a pregame demonstration at Saturday's UTSA-Navy football game as Tech. Sgt. Ian Patterson, a decorated 15-year military veteran. Patterson was one of four Airmen scheduled to rappel from the Alamodome rafters before kickoff when he reportedly lost control during his descent and fell onto the field. Patterson served as a Tactical Air Control Party instructor and was named the Air Force Special Warfare Enlisted Instructor of the Year in 2022. “This tragedy is felt deeply across the 57th Wing,” said Brig. Gen. Scott C. Mills, adding that the Air Force is focused on supporting Patterson's family and fellow service members. Rest in peace, Ian Patterson 🇺🇸🙏🫡💙 (Via U.S. Air Force)

Same league. Same disrespect. The Atlanta Dream and Golden State Valkyries skip the anthem AGAIN before Game 2 of the WNBA Finals, then stroll back out when it’s over. 🇺🇸
