Freedom is a fragile thing. It is in the nature of fallen man to do evil to their neighbors and to gather power to themselves.
Thankfully, God is the architect of this world. Although He often lets us make poor choices and suffer the consequences, He is a loving and merciful

If I were the Mayor of NYC, I would have done this secretly one weekend, and if anyone asked, I would pretend we've been doing it for decades like every other city and town in the country.
Bragging about being that far behind civilized society is an odd flex.

Getting arrested for asking clarification is not legitimate. He never once refused to comply. He did ask for the legal justification.
Nothing would have been lost by the officers being respectful and working to de-escalate or not escalate the situation.

Hold on - he lost his balance and fell off, struggled to remain afloat before slipping beneath the water? That sounds a lot more like a witness statement than an autopsy report.
How could he possibly drown if he just lost his balance and fell off? If he had hit his head or

You are the most racist and bigoted member of Congress, and it isn't even close. There isn't one thing you hate - you hate America, non-muslims, and a whole host of others. You are tiresome and vile. This country gave you opportunity, and all you do is spit on it.
Ron DeSantis is a once in a generation kind of candidate.
- He has heart, brains, and spine.
- He is a strong conservative with some populist tendencies.
- He has a proven track record of standing up to the press, the left, the establishment, even his own donors in order to

I will always place the mission first.
I will never accept defeat.
I will never quit.
I will never leave a fallen comrade.

As Trump implodes - He's out of money, out of energy, and running to the left as fast as he can. How long before the "conservative" influencers that have been under his desk for months come up for air and realize what they've done? Do any of them think the rest of us will forget?

Thank you for sharing pics of your little warrior. Every single day, we pray for him and for you. We know that God has amazing things in store.
Thank you also for your testimony of faithfulness through the storm.
Ron DeSantis is going to be the next President of the United States, and the era of prosperity, freedom, and security is going to be unprecedented. Make America Florida.

I understand if you don't update as much - but my daughter and I check in on your posts every day to see how we should pray for the challenges - and to rejoice with the good news.

My daughter and I have been praying for you all evening. We will not stop. We know God is with you and will hold you and give you wisdom in all of this.

Mark - We are still praying continually. Our God is an awesome God who DOES work miracles. God has His hand on Gus, and you.
Happy Father's Day.

Taylor Swift's politics have always been guided by a level of naivete. She is not a toxic person. Her music and public actions, while not always perfect, don't get into the gutter like most of her peers.
It's just another MAGA bandwagon outrage to keep the faithful agitated.
@JennaEllisEsq
They know why you are smiling and they hate it. They envy your peace even while they rebel against our God. You are a walking testimony to what God does in our lives. We aren't perfect. That's why we have a perfect savior and a God that never gives up on us.

Thousands of illegal immigrants overrunning Texas communities on a weekly, daily basis. Your "sanctuary" city whining about 350, but you don't care about the policies that cause this.
Too bad, so sad.

Praying for him still. We are also sending special prayers for you as his parents. You all must be physically and emotionally exhausted. Praying that God gives you strength and peace for each day as He answers prayers for Gus' healing.

We are praying, and we will be praying. When we pray for Gus, my daughter (10) always talks about what an amazing man of God he is going to grow up to be.

I'm laughing at all the responses doing the math over and over and quibbling over a thousand bucks or so a month - when the whole point is that 2.5 million a month is way, way more than 1 cent per second, no matter what assumptions you make on days in a month.

File this under - MN politics as usual.
This is by the book how DFL launders state money into their pockets and DFL campaigns through NGOs.
The real question is - Will anyone truly investigate which state employees and politicians were in on this particular scheme? I doubt it.

In my opinion, we can't beat this drum hard enough. What he did is unforgivable. It is unconscionable that he uses his service as a prop for his politics when he blue falconed an entire battalion from the senior NCO leadership position.

@votevets
The only people "attacked" by the outing of a blue falcon are other blue falcons. He left his BN of troops hanging and retired when he was called to war. His "selfless service" abruptly ended when there would be a cost.
@RogerZenAF
This sounds bogus. I have never heard of anyone being "permanently disqualified" for a low test score. People have bad days, people aren't used to the test, etc. There is a wait time before another test, but a future passing score is qualifying.
This doesn't pass the smell test.

Running for Congress is not an excuse. Every other member of that battalion had to put their lives on hold to honor their commitment to the country, the Army, the unit, and each other. Walz' pursuit of power is not a special, higher calling. His duty was to his troops 1st.

@TimRunsHisMouth
No one owns my vote. No one can tell me how to use it. That applies to cowards and grifters like Trump, but equally applies to people I generally respect like DeSantis. I don't believe I'm smarter or better - I just believe I have a right to decide who gets my support and when.
Worth watching. It gets weighty with policy talk in the middle, and picks up at the end.
