The Democrats really just want to burn down the American Republic so they can rule over the ashes. Either patriots stand up now or we lose it forever.
James Talarico has stated “I always think of myself as a Christian who hates Christianity” According to the Scripture he is anathema.
Talarico has made it clear that he want the southern border to have a “giant welcome mat.”
There is a legal way to enter this country and any who refuse to come in the proper way, have no business being in this country.
Unfortunately, Talarico and many of his Democrat compadres aren’t just after political power. They’re out to completely destroy the traditons and values we hold dear, which includes liberty.
Millions of Christians face persecution, violence, and extreme poverty because of their faith.
Today we pray for the persecuted Church.

Obama complained and called the Constitution a document of negative liberties. Initially that did not make sense to me, after considering what he said and watching his actions I began to realize that what he and many other leftists hate is that said document is intended to protect “We, the people” from power-hungry politicians who […]
Second Amendment of US Constitution
Before the weekend ends and America moves on to the next headline, we need to pause and look at a story that matters more than almost any other—the collapse of Venezuela, and what it warns us about if the last democratic superpower ever falls the same way.
This didn’t happen overnight. It happened step by step, over one generation.
VENEZUELA: HOW A PROSPEROUS NATION COLLAPSED

THE HARD TRUTH
It took one generation of “progressive” leadership to turn one of the richest countries on Earth into a nation defined by hunger, fear, mass graves, and mass migration.
This is the lesson history keeps teaching:
You can vote your way into socialism.
But history shows people only escape it through collapse, violence, or foreign intervention.
And here is the part Americans must understand clearly:
If this happens in the United States, there will be nobody coming to save us.
No outside superpower.
No rescue force.
No second chance.
Freedom is fragile. Prosperity is not guaranteed.
And once lost, they are brutally hard to recover.
Venezuela’s people paid the price.
America cannot afford to learn this lesson the same way. – Eric Martin
Since our election system has been greatly compromised this explains a lot.
That’s a fact, jack.
New York City is baking under a brutal heat wave, and Mayor Zohran Mamdani’s answer was not more power, it was less use of the power you already pay for.
The self-described socialist mayor took to X and asked New Yorkers to set their thermostats to 78 degrees, shut off lights and electronics, and unplug what they can, so the grid does not buckle under demand.
To be fair, it is a request, not a rule. Nobody gets arrested for running their AC at 68. But listen to how the mayor framed it. City buildings are already locked to 78 degrees. Private partners are being asked to fall in line. Nonessential equipment is being powered down by City Hall itself.
That is the pattern. When socialism does not have the votes or the legal authority to force compliance, it leans on moral pressure instead. New Yorkers are being told that keeping their own homes livable in triple digit heat is somehow selfish, unless they voluntarily suffer a little for the common good.
Conservatives from Ted Cruz to Nikki Haley to Vivek Ramaswamy piled on within hours, and even a City Council Republican, Vickie Paladino, warned this is exactly how it starts. First the suggestion, then the shaming, then the higher prices, then the regulation. Europe already lived this story.
The Founders built a government meant to secure liberty, not manage a thermostat. The Federalist Papers warned again and again about power that grows through small, reasonable sounding steps. A polite request today has a way of becoming policy tomorrow, especially from a mayor who just days earlier called socialism the future of his party.
New Yorkers do not need a mayor micromanaging their comfort. They need a grid that can handle a hot summer without asking citizens to sweat for the cause. – Federalist Papers
Just a reminder of what she was saying then. A very accurate statement.
