Gets shot

Gets up the next day

Goes golfing
The man has the energy of a dynamo
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.

🚨 🧵 🚨
How Democrats Are Trying To Enlist Republicans In The Dem Effort To Move America Toward Socialized Medicine

1. Dems enact Obamacare “to make healthcare affordable”—with *every* Republican opposing it and warning that Obamacare will make healthcare more expensive, not less
2. Obamacare makes healthcare *less* affordable, with premiums going up every year, even as coverage and quality steadily diminish

Meanwhile, huge healthcare companies get rich as they consolidate and minimize competition, facilitated by Obamacare’s onerous regulations Image
3. Trying to hide Obamacare’s failures, Dems extend and expand Obamacare premium subsidies—again with every Republican in Congress opposing that move Image

🧵 1/ No other success a country enjoys—economically, intellectually, technologically, or otherwise—can compensate for a collapse in that country’s birth rate, which culminates in unmitigated societal demise
2/ Low birth rate and population collapse leads to extinction
3/ Human extinction cancels all other human advances—in knowledge, wealth, prosperity, and every other achievement

🚨🧵 1/Repost if you think this is yet another good reason to end universal mail-in voting Image
2/ USPS unions like the National Association of Letter Carriers (NALC) & American Postal Workers Union (APWU) routinely endorse presidential candidates

Both NALC and APWU endorsed Kamala Harris in 2024 & all postal-worker unions overwhelmingly favor Democrats when they endorse Image
3/ This creates at least a potential conflict of interest, given that USPS handles tens of millions of mail-in ballots with each election—99.22 million in 2024 alone

If a union backs one candidate, could that influence ballot handling? Image

🚨‼️🚨 Read this thread to find out why Democrats are celebrating all over Utah tonight:

🧵 1/ Utah’s electoral system is under attack by Democrats and their leftist allies in the Utah courts
2/ Seven years ago, Utah voters passed a law (through a ballot initiative) creating a legislative redistricting commission
3/ The Utah legislature later amended that law, which it has the power to do under the Utah Constitution

1/ Utah is a Republican state—one that has been served by exclusively Republican governors for decades. And we’ve had decades of Republican majorities in both chambers of the legislature. Why, then, does Utah have a number of avowed leftists serving in its judicial system?
2/ Utah’s judicial nomination system is broken. Republican governors often end up naming left-wing judicial nominees who don’t share their views on the proper role of the courts—including basic concepts like textualism, originalism, and judicial modesty. It’s time for reform—to empower the governor to pick judges who align with the governor’s vision.
#UtahJudicialReform
3/ Here’s how it works today: For each judicial vacancy, a nominating commission (one per judicial district, plus an appellate commission for both the Supreme Court and Court of Appeals) solicits and reviews applications each time a judicial vacancy arises. Each commission consists of seven members appointed by the governor. Members of each commission must be U.S. citizens and Utah residents, and may not be legislators.

🧵 1. As President Trump has made clear, it’s time to end mail-in voting

Utah should lead the way on this

Other states will follow
#ElectionIntegrity
#UtahFirst
2. Mail-in voting opens the door to fraud & undermines trust in our elections

By contrast, in-person voting with ID ensures security & transparency Image

3. States like Texas & Florida are already tightening voting laws

Utah has the chance to be a model for the nation by prioritizing election integrity Image
