- This is one of the quiet heroes of this administration. @DNIGabbard has done more to expose two critical issues toward moving America forward over the long haul. Her and her team have identified: 1. Massive election fraud that has occurred in U.S. elections for potentially decades and specifically in the 2020 election and, 2. Those who conspired to overthrow the United States of America. Now we MUST see accountability for both. (video)
- Every pastor, priest, minister and rabbi nationwide ought to speak up about the outrageous actions of the uncontrolled mob led by media activist, Don Lemon, in a church today. It was such a dangerous act and could have led to a disaster were it not for a calm congregation and a decent pastor who was simply trying to hold a Sunday worship service to pray to God Almighty (but maybe that was this mobs intent—attack God). Wake up America and stand up for our Christian heritage and values as well as our rights before it is too late. (video)
- What I do know is that our @POTUS @realDonaldTrump is deadly serious about election fraud in the rigged 2020 elections. This is coming to a head. He knows he must act w/ or w/out the justice department coming to any conclusions. He understands if he doesn’t, he places the nation at grave risk and his legacy will be tarnished forever. (video)
- @TheSCIF
- PASS the SAVE ACT, require photo ID and proof of citizenship, or NO vote for you. This is a huge step in restoring election integrity. If we do not fix our elections NOW, and we lose the next presidential election, they will make sure they NEVER lose again. (video)
- President Trump tried to tell you about China's ties to our elections and that Biden's FBI asked intelligence agencies to destroy intel on the alleged China plot to aid Joe Biden in the 2020. From the whistleblowers exposing a Chinese ballot printing company, to Tina Peters finding and preserving proof of election and voter fraud, it was all out in the open. Fake IDs and ballots are just ONE piece and method to rigging an election. Dominion Voting Systems alone is a Canadian owned company with global subsidiaries and registered to a company in Hunan, China. It is owned by Staple Street Capital, which is owned by UBS Securities LLC, of which 3 out of 7 of their board members are Chinese nationals with CCP ties. The Dominion software is licensed from Smartmatic which is a Venezuelan owned and controlled company. Dominion Server locations are in Serbia, Canada, the U.S., Spain, and Germany.

- @lsferguson Report:
- Republican Senate Majority Leader John Thune tried to talk President Trump out of endorsing against Bill Cassidy to no avail Cassidy voted to impeach Trump and has been very critical of RFK Jr Thune was in Baton Rouge campaigning for Cassidy last week. Thune is actively slow walking and obstructing President Trump.
- @data_republican
- So @LeaderJohnThune says he doesn't have enough votes to pass the SAVE Act. I want to know which Republicans are voting against it and why! Had anyone heard a plausible explanation? Put it up for a vote so we know exactly where each of them stand on this issue! I don't know how to organize a march, but maybe we need to show up in DC? I can't think of anything else we can do.
- @GuntherEagleman
- MELT THE PHONE LINE!!! (202) 224-3121. @LeaderJohnThune and the @SenateGOP are facing a PIVOTAL moment, they have a chance to WIN for the American people. Tell them to NUKE THE FILIBUSTER and PASS THE SAVE ACT.
- BREAKING: Mike Lee just EXPOSED how the Senate could be DOING MORE to deliver on Trump’s agenda! “There are OTHER WAYS of getting to a FINAL VOTE… all you have to do is KEEP DEBATING until nobody debates.” Why are they CONSTANTLY on vacation over doing what they’ve been ELECTED to do? NUKE THE FILIBUSTER AND DO YOUR JOB! (video)

- If we've learned anything over the last few years, it's that securing our elections is crucial. I’m leading the SAVE Act with my good friend, @BasedMikeLee, to make sure only U.S. citizens get to vote in our elections. This is common sense. -@SenRickScott. America will die without secure elections.

- Q: Hey Grok, Does China's EV market have anything to do with Carney's investment firm Brookfield? A: Yes, Brookfield Asset Management has connections to China's EV market, primarily through partnerships with Chinese companies involved in battery technology and renewable energy components that support EVs. The most direct link is Brookfield's 2023 memorandum of understanding (MoU) with Shanghai-based Envision Group, a major Chinese renewable energy...

- @JimFergusonUK
- THIS WAS AN ATTEMPTED MURDER! After being beaten unconscious by a Democrat-aligned mob, Jake Lang was dragged back into the crowd — and STABBED. Read that again. They didn’t stop when he was down. They didn’t walk away. They tried to kill him. This is what happens when politicians demonize law enforcement, excuse mob violence, and label Americans as “the enemy” for their beliefs. This wasn’t a protest. This wasn’t chaos. This was targeted political violence. And the silence from Democrat leaders is deafening. (video)
- @FFT1776
- ICYMI - John Solomon just exposed a serious DOJ failure and it lands squarely on Pam Bondi. This is bad! Finally … someone is speaking out! Bondi is months behind reality, repackaging six-month-old evidence as if it’s breaking news. As Solomon said plainly: “If you want perp walks, Kash Patel already has the evidence. Prosecutors are lagging far behind.” Translation: The DOJ is the problem! Congress and DOJ are saying privately Pam Bondi can’t get the job done! REPLACE BONDI! (video)

There was FORCED sterilization until the 80s and 90s! All of a sudden, now that the US expressed an interest, there's this new interest from them?!" Nailed it. Europe does not care about Greenland or have the capability to defend it. Only America does. (video)

- @BennyJohnson
- Stop what you’re doing and look at this. A Christian pastor is trying to preach the Word of God to his Minnesota congregation. Don Lemon storms the church, rushes the altar in the middle of the sermon, harasses and threatens the pastor on a live feed then further incites a left wing mob against the Christians worshipping. This is not just an obscene violation of the FACE Act — it’s likely a hate crime. Don Lemon needs to be dealt with like the Biden Regime treated Pro-Life protesters. FBI SWAT teams raids, frog marched before the cameras, full federal charges with decades of prison time. Make an example of Don Lemon. Do it now. Otherwise this will happen at every church in America. This is the only way to protect Christianity. Defend the Faith.
- @mitchellvii
- If you're wondering why John Thune doesn't eliminate the filibuster, I'll tell you. John Thune, Mitch McConnell and their globalist friends in the Senate who love that big corporate money truly hate President, Trump and MAGA. We are a existential threat to their globalist dreams. They want MAGA done and gone. If Thune eliminates the filibuster, they know that Trump will win the House and Senate, the last two years of his presidency will be wildly successful and Vance will win in 2028. And that my friends is why John Thune won't eliminate the filibuster. They want to end MAGA as much as the Democrats do.
