We were so young then I was only 10 😉
🎬 Filmed in December 1964, this unforgettable two-minute performance was captured in a single take—no cuts, no tricks, just pure talent. Every note had to be flawless. Even decades later, its authenticity and brilliance remain timeless. ✨🎶❤️

🚨 JUST IN: Flanked by John Thune, Senate GOP Whip John Barrasso announces they are pushing to APPROVE ALL remaining Trump judicial nominees before Dems take over and ensure 0 vacancies FOLLOW THROUGH, GET THIS DONE! "We have a bold agenda going forward. We will waste no time...that means ALL these judicial appointments, we're gonna do everything we can to get every single one of them approved...we will leave NO vacancy behind." I heard it, now I want to see it in action! Because Dems aren't approving ONE conservative to the federal judiciary when they take over.

Some cheer for these times 👀 Translated from Korean
두번째 생존법. 겨울철 대정전이나 국가 비상사태가 터졌을 때, 집 안에서 저체온증으로 사망하는 사람들의 90%는 ‘보일러가 꺼져서’ 죽는 게 아닙니다. 다들 패딩을 입고 침대에 누우면 버틸 수 있을 거라 착각하지만, 그 방식은 가장 빠르게 체온을 빼앗기는 지름길입니다. 극한의 추위 속에서 난방 없이 72시간을 살아남는 5가지 절대 생존 법칙. 🧵 1. 가장 치명적인 실수는 거실이나 방 전체를 어떻게든 버티려는 것입니다. 공간이 넓을수록 사람 몸의 복사열은 허공으로 흩어집니다. 살아남으려면 즉시 집 전체를 포기하고 공간을 극한으로 줄여야 합니다. 거실 한가운데에 실내용 텐트를 치거나, 식탁 밑에 두꺼운 담요와 암막 커튼을 둘러 '초소형 격리 공간(Microclimate)'을 만드세요. 사람 1~2명의 체온과 호흡만으로도 1평 남짓한 공간은 바깥보다 10~15℃ 이상 따뜻해집니다. 2. 얼어 죽는 사람들은 대부분 위에서 덮는 이불만 신경 쓰다, 바닥의 전도 냉기에 체온을 다 뺏깁니다. 이불은 사람이 눕는 순간 솜이 눌려 공기층이 사라지고, 바닥의 냉기를 그대로 빨아들이는 차가운 돌판이 됩니다. 바닥에는 이불 대신 반드시 '골판지(택배 박스)'를 2~3겹 깔거나 스티로폼, 알루미늄 은박 매트를 깔아야 합니다. 골판지 내부의 공기 구멍이 지열 냉기를 차단하는 최고의 단열재입니다. 3. 춥다고 창문 틈을 비닐로 완전 밀봉한 채, 실내에서 가스버너나 촛불을 켜두는 것은 자살 행위입니다. 매년 한파 재난 때마다 얼어 죽는 사람보다 일산화탄소에 중독되어 자는 도중 사망하는 사람이 훨씬 많습니다. 연소 기구(난로, 버너, 촛불)를 실내에 둘 때는 잠들기 전에 무조건 꺼야 합니다. 아무리 추워도 공기가 순환할 수 있도록 손가락 굵기만 한 환기 구멍은 반드시 열어두어야 합니다. 4. 군사 생존학의 제1철칙: "Sweat Kills (땀은 사람을 죽인다)." 추위를 막겠다고 옷을 잔뜩 껴입고 움직이다 땀을 흘리는 순간 끝장납니다. 특히 면(Cotton) 소재 내의는 땀을 흡수한 채 마르지 않아, 몇 시간 뒤 얼음장 같은 냉각팩으로 돌변합니다. 폴리에스터, 플리스, 울(양모) 소재를 헐렁하게 여러 겹 입고, 몸에 조금이라도 열이 오르면 지퍼를 열거나 겉옷을 벗어 '절대 땀을 흘리지 않는 상태'를 유지하세요. 5. 체온이 급격히 떨어질 때 핫팩이나 온수병을 손발 끝에 두는 것은 낭비입니다. 손발은 혈관이 수축해 있어 온몸으로 열이 돌지 못합니다. 반드시 '경동맥(목 뒤)', '액와동맥(겨드랑이)', '대퇴동맥(사타구니)' 등 심장에서 뿜어져 나오는 굵은 혈관 부위에 열원을 대야 따뜻한 피가 전신을 돕니다. 그리고 물을 마시지 않으면 탈수로 혈액순환이 멈춥니다. 미온수를 마시고, 단백질 대신 '지방(버터, 땅콩버터, 초콜릿, 견과류)'을 드세요. 지방은 몸 안에서 가장 오래 타오르는 최고의 생체 난로입니다. 겨울철 생존의 핵심은 '열을 만드는 것'이 아니라 '체온을 뺏기지 않는 것'입니다. 가족을 위해 이 타래를 북마크해 두세요. 📌

Today my office issued a subpoena to the Democratic Socialists of America. We’re examining foreign contributions—including from Cuba and China—tied to their delegations and travel fund solicitations. FL law requires transparency. We will hold those who break the law accountable.

Let these lunatics pass their ridiculous anti-Amazon bill. Then when New Yorkers can only get two-day shipping on most Amazon deliveries and same-day disappears entirely, there is nobody to blame but Zohran and his voters. Things need to get meaningfully worse for these people. They may not care about crime, but they will surely notice when their packages take three times longer and shipping isn’t free anymore. People need to see socialists actively breaking the things that work. Things they use every day and understand in a non-abstract way. Breaking Amazon deliveries will be a great example. You bought the ticket, now it’s time to take the ride.

It’s #bluecitymodel fail on a national scale
If Democrats were actually capable of delivering affordability, the deepest blue cities would be the most affordable places in the country. Instead, all they can come up with is some half-witted tax scheme to try and bribe the lower/middle class with a few crumbs of subsidies to convince them to not flee. It's like, "Yeah we're completely incapable of actually lowering your electric bill, but how about a $75 'electric rebate' check every month and some free LED light bulbs. All it will take is an extra billion in taxes on the high-value businesses that haven't left yet. Doesn't that sound great?" Literally this is how every single 'affordability' problem is approached here. Of course everything just gets more expensive. But none of them care because they're all making money skimming the nonprofits who administer their redistributionist schemes, and they don't have to worry about being reelected. You try and explain the obvious flaws in this reasoning to them -- most notably that they've been doing this for years now and literally nothing has gotten more affordable -- and it's just met with blank stares. This is the absolute best they can do. If it doesn't work, that means the problem simply cannot be solved. Which, of course, is justification for even MORE taxes and redistribution.

🚨 NOW: Sec. Marco Rubio takes ZERO BS from the media 🔥 Q: Why is a stalemate on the Iran war beneficial to the United States? RUBIO: "It's NOT a stalemate. YOU call it a stalemate. It's not a stalemate. How is it a stalemate? The United States is imposing extraordinary damaging effects through our sanctions and other measures and the blockade on the Iranian economy, that every month continues to collapse. What is their inflation rate? Is it three or four hundred percent now? I don't know how that's a stalemate. They're BLEEDING!" 💯 "That's not a stalemate, that's the CONTRARY of the stalemate — it is an increased pressure on Iran that continues to grow every day." Just because we aren't launching bombs and missiles every day doesn't mean it's a stalemate. They are getting CRUSHED still every day and it's only getting worse.

Dems ran on “affordability”, as VA Dem Gov Spanberger did, but then taxed, regs to the max—demonized the real American Dream Dem candidate Perriello was a top Soros guy—open borders, DEI “prosecutors”. Commie Islamist slavery We have seen this in Virginia. Sic Semper Tyrannis🌲🇺🇸
🚨HOW MCGUIRE WON: Rural counties in Southside have become so red that it's hard for Democrats to dig out of that hole Even in a terrible year for Republicans, Democrats couldn’t figure out a way to make up deep vote deficits in rural counties. "The year 2010 was not a good year for Democrats. The elections that year were the congressional midterms of President Barack Obama’s first term. Obama described the results as 'a shellacking,' and no one could dispute him." "Democrats lost 63 seats in the House of Representatives, losing control of the chamber. One of the seats Democrats lost that year was in Virginia’s 5th Congressional District, where incumbent Tom Perriello was ousted after a single term." "This year was the polar opposite for Democrats: It was a good year, a very good year. The party has picked up more than 40 House seats — some races remain too close to call with ballots still being counted — and regained control of both chambers in Congress." "One of the seats they didn’t win, though, was in Virginia’s 5th District, where 16 years later the candidate was, once again, Perriello. He came close, pulling 48.04% of the vote, but is 7,686 votes shy of Republican incumbent John McGuire. Final counting of provisional ballots and post-election mail ballots will change those numbers but not enough to make a difference. Perriello has conceded." ... MORE:⬇️ cardinalnews.org/2026/11/09/…

Dem Descano Soros prosecutor
🚨 They didn't lose the child's age. They were trained to leave it out. Under federal immigration law, sexual abuse of a minor is an aggravated felony. For a noncitizen, it means mandatory detention, deportation and a permanent bar from ever coming back. In my 24 years at ICE ERO, those were the cases we never let slide. The key element is the child's age. Take the age out of the conviction and you take out the aggravated felony. According to the House Judiciary Committee report, the Bronx DA's 2019 plea-bargaining guide told prosecutors in these cases to "offer something that does not have the child's age as an element." Think about what that means. A grown man commits a sex crime against a child. He pleads to something that, on paper, could have been against an adult. The record that reaches ICE no longer shows a child victim. The removal case falls apart, and he stays here. The child didn't get a plea deal. The child gets to live with it, and maybe in the same neighborhood as him. This came out Oct. 26. Two weeks later there's been no outrage from the Bronx DA, the AG or the networks. Nothing. @claudiatenney @JudiciaryGOP @Jim_Jordan @itsyourgov @NMalliotakis @EliseStefanik foxnews.com/politics/house-r…

Got to keep fighting these two years so we have a chance in 2028 Before we lose our country
WATCH: 'The scope of the fraud problem ... is probably around $800 billion a year on the taxpayer,' says Colin McDonald McDonald, the assistant attorney general for the National Fraud Enforcement Division, spoke with Liz Collin about the ongoing fight against fraud in Minnesota and beyond. "If fraud were its own department, it would be one of the most expensive departments in the entire federal government," he said.

Texas? 👇He had no essay for me to look at. He wanted me to sign off that he had his essay read anyway. I told him that isn’t how it works. He got irate and said that if we were in his country, he could have me killed. I told him that it was a good thing we live in Texas then, huh
One more that I almost forgot: When I was working as a writing tutor at the local community college, a muslim man came in for assistance. It was required for his class. He had no essay for me to look at. He wanted me to sign off that he had his essay read anyway. I told him that isn’t how it works. He got irate and said that if we were in his country, he could have me killed. I told him that it was a good thing we live in Texas then, huh? His head could have exploded right then and there. I had to have my husband, who also worked at the college at the time, walk me to my car the rest of the week.

Likely untreated mental illness Plus DEI gets Katie d*ad. Dems are fine with this for votes and power 👇Mohassib was employed by The Department of Education, The NYPD…
This recent murder in Brooklyn can not be swept under the rug. Sayed Mohassib murdered Katie Suarez under a bridge on October 30th while she was on a run. He was caught and arrested on this past Saturday. Authorities said Mohassib told detectives that after returning home, he "got rid of the bloody clothing" and "the knife," adding that he "got blood in his apartment which he attempted to clean." Mohassib told investigators he "sat down on a bench" and "became covered in blood." Mohassib was employed by The Department of Education, The NYPD as almost The Marines. His NYPD graduates at the police academy claimed they were scared to be around him, but he graduated anyway and became an officer for a brief period. He left The NYPD to join The Marines, but he was deemed "incongruent with Marine Corps' expectations and standards" so he came back to The NYPD and demanded his job back, but was denied. The NYPD had to put out a memo about him coming back to the building and put posters of his face up to not be let in the building because he became erratic. In September 2024, his mental state deteriorated further. Police were called to his home after his mother and sister reported that he threatened to "chop them into pieces." The NYPD responded and transported him to Coney Island Hospital for another mental health evaluation. Neighbors and members of his local mosque later noted that both Mohassib and his father suffered from severe mental illnesses, which went largely unmanaged. After he was released he later applied with The Department of Education and was hired. The day after he murdered Katie he was back with the kids at school and for another week until security cameras caught him and the cops were able to confirm him as the suspect. His Mother Fatma issued this statement: "He's a black belt, he goes to Boy Scouts all his life, goes to the mosque all his life, he goes to Brooklyn College, the team basketball, excellent boy," "He never attacked me, never attacked his sister, never attacked anyone in the neighborhood," she adds. "My heart goes deep to the mother and the father. Just, we both lost, you lost your daughter, I lost my son," said Fatma. Mayor Zohran Mamdani, has said his role is suspended at The DOE at this time, although he did not name Mohassib. The fact that Mohassib was watching peoples children and carrying a gun and NYPD badge is beyond belief. He should have been institutionalized a long time ago and in no way should this have gone unoticed Katie Suarez, saved the lives of four people through organ donation, according to nonprofit organization LiveOnNY. I pray for Katie Suarez and her family. May she rest in eternal peace.
