He’s undeterred by things that would rattle others for months
And apparently he’s got cat-like reflexes—or at least really good timing and luck
He’s like a duck in the rain
Sometimes we really need a man like that
Pretty sure this is one of those times
What would you do?
There’s a specific scientific term for this kind of (very unusual) man—you know, the kind of man that gets shot, gets up the next morning, and goes golfing.
In case you’re not familiar with this word, I’ll share it with you.
The word is “badass.”
Will you be voting for President Trump?
Okay I’m now told this video was uploaded today but *not* taken today. My bad!
He’s still getting up and going to Milwaukee for the Republican National Convention!
And I’d imagine that’s much harder than going golfing right after you’ve been shot.

🧵1/ At the current pace, it’ll be April 2026 before we confirm the 135 Trump nominees now pending in the Senate
We need a game-changer
Otherwise, we risk extending rule by the leftist Deep State™️, which has outsized influence when GOP political appointees aren’t confirmed
2/ Shockingly, it’s about to get worse, as my projection focuses solely on the 135 nominees currently pending & awaiting floor votes
It does *not* account for new additions as committees keep reporting out nominees (including the 124 still in committee & future submissions)
3/ Based on the average rate during the 119th Congress—where 232 nominees have been added to the calendar over the first 6 months (97 confirmed + 135 current)—that's about nine new additions per week
🧵 1/ Marxism inspires people to wield government’s coercive power against their fellow citizens—inevitably causing immense harm—all while insisting that the harm is justified because “it’s for their own good”
2/ Once embraced, the “it’s for their own good” mantra can be misused to justify cruelty in almost any setting in which there is a pronounced power differential—including at work (mean boss), home (abusive spouse or parent), or school (tyrannical teacher)
3/ While potentially harmful in countless other settings, the “it’s for their own good” mindset can become nothing short of *deadly* when it takes hold in government
1/ USAID has become a vehicle for pushing anti-American, radical far-left ideologies—all on the taxpayer’s dime. The problems go far beyond waste, fraud, and abuse. They undermine our security, promote extremism, and harm the very people they aim to help.
2/ USAID undermines American interests by failing to counter our adversaries like China. Instead of binding countries to us through trade and investment, we’ve wasted billions on a global green agenda that forces poor nations to rely on China for energy. Result? Recipients like South Africa (a top aid receiver) align with China in BRICS, support Hamas, and oppose us at the UN.
3/ Mozambique and Tanzania, other major aid beneficiaries, even conducted military exercises with China’s People’s Liberation Army—expanding Beijing’s influence right to our Atlantic doorstep. 19 of the top 20 USAID recipients are part of China’s Belt & Road Initiative. Our aid isn't buying loyalty; it’s subsidizing our competitors.
🚨🧵 1/ Alexis de Tocqueville warned us against the evils of socialism in *Democracy in America*—without using the word “socialism,” which had not yet entered common parlance
2/ Without using the word itself, Tocqueville described socialist systems as exercising “an immense and tutelary power, which takes upon itself alone to secure their gratifications and to watch over their fate”
“That power is absolute, minute, regular, provident, and mild”
3/ “It would be like the authority of a parent if, like that authority, its object was to prepare men for manhood; but it seeks, on the contrary, to keep them in perpetual childhood: it is well content that the people should rejoice, provided they think of nothing but rejoicing”
🧵 1/ I’ve been asked today why I think Jeffrey Epstein *might* have been a gov asset. Let’s unpack the case. His connections, wealth, & influence raise red flags. Was he just a financier? Or something more?
2/ Epstein’s plea deal in 2008 was unusually lenient. Sex-trafficking charges dropped, 13 months in a cushy jail with work release. Prosecutors hinted at “intelligence” ties. The U.S. attorney handling the case said he was told Epstein “belonged to intelligence.”
Coincidence?
3/ His personal network was a who’s who list that would make a king blush: politicians, royalty, tech moguls, etc. Why did so many powerful people trust a convicted felon? Was he collecting dirt for someone? Blackmail operations often use honeypots—Epstein’s islands fit the bill.
🧵 1. A judge has just issued a temporary restraining order “TRO” halting the implementation of an unambiguous statute—duly enacted by Congress and signed into law by the President—that defunds Planned Parenthood
2. Given the lack of ambiguity in the statutory text, one can surmise that the TRO was likely predicated on an assertion that the statute is unconstitutional
3. What part of the Constitution prohibits Congress from defunding Planned Parenthood?
