Girls are worth protecting. Our culture is worth defending. Vote like it.

BREAKING: Lancaster, Pennsylvania officials have BUSTED a large-scale fraudulent voter registration scheme that includes thousands of applications with the same handwriting, fake signatures, false addresses, etc
They discovered the same scheme in other Pennsylvania counties.

Boy listening to the Iowa governor debate and if we find everything Sand wants to fund, we will triple taxes and still go into debt...

Jesus. Is. Lord.
Just heard from a friend who identified as gay for many years. Left that lifestyle five or six years ago and has been pursuing Christ with single-minded focus since then. Today, he told me he’s getting married to a BEAUTIFUL girl he met church.
Not every story of breaking those particular chains of sin will end this way. But transformation in Christ IS real and, contrary to what the world says, a change of affection IS possible. We need to start saying so.

I mean… @RobSandIA has absolutely no evidence on which to make this claim about vouchers.
He’s accusing people of crimes with no evidence just to incite voters.
This is the Progressive Way.
I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again: the private school voucher program has been one of the biggest invitations to waste, fraud, and abuse in Iowa history.
We have a $1.3 billion budget deficit, and Iowans deserve accountability for how their tax dollars are spent. #IAGov #GovDebate

.@ZachLahn: “I do think there is a need for greater funding in public schools. But my belief as somebody who's been in business, and even anybody that runs family budget, is when you see the trajectory of increasing spending, adjusted for inflation, decreasing quality, the wrong thing to do is to say, you know what that needs? More money.” #IAGov

He has absolutely no evidence of this.
But we do have evidence that the third largest public school district in Iowa overspent their budget and wasted millions of tax dollars while the 'auditor' did nothing.

.@ZachLahn: "The Second Amendment doesn't grant a right. It recognizes a right that is already there. The Second Amendment has nothing to do with hunting. It's about keeping a tyrannical government at bay... I want to make sure we're prioritizing the ability of law-abiding citizens to have firearms to keep their communities and families safe."

“Tonight, @ZachLahn laid out his plan for Iowa: lower taxes, clean water, safer communities, great schools, and preserving family farms for the next generation. Liberal billionaire Rob Sand offers a starkly different approach: more taxes, more spending, and more regulations that Iowa families can’t afford.
At the heart of Zach’s campaign is a simple principle: government should work for the people, not the other way around. His only allegiances are to God, his family, and the people of Iowa—not to lobbyists or special interests.
When Iowans head to the polls, they need to ask themselves who will put their tax dollars back in their hands, defend their constitutional rights, lower costs, and put Iowa families first. That’s Zach Lahn.” #IAGov

SAND: "We started a government efficiency program called PIE... That program has been so good at making money at the local level."
PICTURED: Rob Sand presenting his 'PIE' award to Iowa City schools-- which moved $38M without approval and overspent its capital projects fund by $45M over the last four fiscal years."

Again... you're using my car in your attack against Zach claiming it's his. That's the definition of lying

@ZachLahn was the clear winner tonight. And unlike @RobSandIA, he was unafraid to take a stand for our most vulnerable citizens. I’m proud to support Zach and Iowa First!

This is why you vote @ZachLahn for governor right here.
rickhawk22 retweeted
We just saw a third debate where @ZachLahn proved he was an ally to the best of us and @RobSandIA is an accomplice to the worst. Congrats, Iowa. Not only do you have an easy choice, but a worthy and honorable one as well. Let’s go, Zach! The future is bright!

UPDATE ON THE OSTROUSHKO CASE: The Ostroushko family, who violently assaulted me back in April, tried to file a “motion to dismiss” their criminal case stating that THEY are experiencing “vindictive and selective prosecution”.
They’re framing their federal charges as “prosecution and harassment” by the Trump administration, for “protesting ICE abuses”, while conveniently leaving out how the whole family took turns attacking me.
They made sure to call me a “right wing provocateur and “troll” and characterized their attack on me as a “scuffle” in which Christopher Ostroushko “shoved me in the back”.
(Reminder, that their attack was so unprovoked and brutal, that even left wing streamers who were on the ground that day were defending me).
The DOJ has responded asking for this motion to be DENIED, stating that the prosecutors on this case have been neutral in prosecuting cases involving both Democrats and Republicans.
Chris, Deyanna and Paige Ostroushko, who took turns attacking me outside of the Whipple ICE facility, have filed restraining orders against me in an attempt to silence my reporting (all of which have since been dismissed), have gone on multiple news shows to slander me and have repeatedly lied in legal documents in an attempt to make public scrutiny of their actions go away.
Luckily for me, everything was caught on camera, including Chris instructing his daughter to attack me, Chris himself slamming me to the ground and Deyanna laughing about how she “tackled me” and then ran.
Their next hearing is in TWO days and will determine if we go to trial or not.
Update to come…
