Every American deserves law and order, not chaos, unrest, and criminal disorder. 🧵

First, it’s important to recognize that the dangerous and unprecedented situation we are in was caused not by the current administration or by federal law enforcement officers doing their job (as they are in states across the country without any problem whatsoever), but by Left-wing politicians demonizing ICE and allowing, if not outright encouraging, radical, criminal agitators to cause chaos and obstruct enforcement of immigration law.

Federal immigration law applies across the country, there is no sanctuary from federal law, and it is the constitutional duty of the President to “Take care that the laws be faithfully executed.” 2) Conveniently, the loudest agitators for the organized resistance against federal law enforcement efforts in Minnesota are the same two Minnesota politicians at the center of the massive Somali fraud scandal recently brought to light. They would love nothing more than to shift attention away from that scandal, but they cannot be allowed to escape accountability for their actions then and now.

Parents and children deserve far better than what they've been getting from our education system for years. Thanks to the Trump administration’s bold move to dismantle the Department of Education, conservatives now have an extraordinary opportunity to revitalize education in America.

Here's what I shared in Austin, Texas last night. 🧵 The Purpose of Education: Education must be about self-governance. Every curriculum, policy, and reform should aim to equip students with the knowledge, virtue, and critical thinking skills needed to govern themselves and contribute to a free society. Anything less betrays our children and our nation.

President Trump is ending outdated trade policies that harm hard-working Americans. So now globalist elites are spitting mad that we are finally putting the interests of American workers, families, and communities over the pocketbooks of self-anointed “citizens of the world.”

Here is a thread on how President Trump’s trade policies are restoring respect for America: Demanding fairness and reciprocity: For decades, friends and foes have taken advantage of American generosity, including military and other aid, while at the same time erecting barriers to competition from goods produced by American workers. No longer.

Even our closest allies still impose tariffs, quotas, labeling restrictions, foreign ownership limits, and bureaucratic red tape that keep American products and companies out of many markets. President Trump’s reciprocal tariffs are a tool of statecraft that can level the playing field. If foreign nations want to avoid these tariffs, then they must remove their trade barriers. It’s really that simple.

🧵Americans in 2024 are in the process of carrying out the Second American Revolution to take power back from the elites and despotic bureaucrats.

These patriots are committed to peaceful revolution at the ballot box. Unfortunately, the Left may not allow a peaceful transfer of power.

As we saw in 2020, organized groups on the Left have the capacity to:

⭕️Riot violently.
⭕️Take over cities.
⭕️Target Supreme Court justices with violence and death threats.
⭕️Weaponize taxpayer-funded agencies to target their political opponents.

*Just to name a few.

The Civil Rights Act was an extraordinary accomplishment, outlawing discrimination on the basis of race, sex, religion, and national origin and securing all Americans’ participation in our society.

For the first time, a colorblind society was codified into law. But today, the Civil Rights Act is in bad shape.

College campuses discriminate against certain racial groups in the admissions process in clear violation of the law.

Mandatory DEI courses force workers to treat their co-workers differently based on the color of their skin.

Some federal programs have been restricted to minority applicants and religious employers have been hit with penalties.

A thoughtful, thorough, and sober analysis by @JDVance1, who’s already become one of the best conservative policymakers. Hats off to the @nytimes, of all outlets, for running his op-ed.

🧵 1/ He writes: “President Biden wants the world to believe that the biggest obstacle facing Ukraine is Republicans and our lack of commitment to the global community. This is wrong.”

And the following point is vital: “Ukraine’s challenge is not the G.O.P.; it’s math. Ukraine needs more soldiers than it can field, even with draconian conscription policies. And it needs more matériel than the United States can provide. This reality must inform any future Ukraine policy, from further congressional aid to the diplomatic course set by the president.” 2/ The Establishment’s inability to accept the reality about Ukraine, and instead to browbeat those who dare ask questions, must change.

As @JDVance1 argues, “Since the start of the conflict, the United States has gone to great lengths to ramp up production of 155-millimeter shells. We’ve roughly doubled our capacity and can now produce 360,000 per year — less than a tenth of what Ukraine says it needs. The administration’s goal is to get this to 1.2 million — 30 percent of what’s needed — by the end of 2025. This would cost the American taxpayers dearly while yielding an unpleasantly familiar result: failure abroad.”

As Congress prepares to vote on The Protecting Americans from Foreign Adversary Controlled Applications Act on Wednesday, it's crucial to question why TikTok doesn't opt for divestment instead of exaggerating concerns over a potential "ban" it isn't obligated to face.

The answer lies in TikTok's deep connections to the CCP through its parent company, ByteDance. Beijing-based ByteDance is subject to the People’s Republic of China’s (PRC) laws and policies that permit the CCP’s access to the data it collects.

Chinese officials—former and current—are embedded in TikTok’s parent company and involved in the company’s inner workings through an internal corporate CCP committee and a board seat on ByteDance’s domestic subsidiary.

No one is safe in Biden's America.

Laken Riley was brutally murdered because Joe Biden, Alejandro Mayorkas, and congressional Democrats repeatedly failed to keep her and our communities safe.

Blood is on their hands. 🧵 Jose Ibarra should NEVER have been in our country—or released by DHS after illegal entry.
  
He should NEVER have been released after a NYC arrest; deportation should have been immediate.
  
Athens-Clarke Co. should have NEVER been allowed to keep sanctuary status (GA banned).

1/9 The outcry over Florida's African American History standards is absurd. That happens to be my academic field as a historian; I use to write extensively—including curriculum standards—on the topic. So I took some time to review Florida’s. The bottom line: they are excellent. 2/9 In my experience as a historian of African American history, Florida's standards actually are a model for other states. They are comprehensive in topics covered, do not shy away from difficult topics, and—as history should—use examples of heroic people who fought oppression.

It's comical to see two elitists—@GeorgeWill & @KarlRove—lecture conservatives about the future of our movement at the @LBJLibrary of all places.

They're out of touch with reality and living in a bygone era.

From the 1980s through the 2000s, conservatives faced a much different political adversary. We should stop pretending today's far-Left radicals are akin to the liberals of yesteryear.

The woke war raged by today's Left is fundamentally different from what Reagan & others faced.

Vladimir Putin deserves the world’s unmitigated scorn, but not the United States’ undivided attention.

For while Russia today may be an enemy of the West, it is not really a rival. For that, we must look to China. 🧵👇 foxnews.com/opinion/bidens… The Chinese Communist Party enjoys strategic advantages Moscow never did, with greater capacity to project power around the world.
