🚨 IT'S OFFICIAL: After Delta Airlines canceled ALL special privileges for members of Congress while TSA is unpaid, other airlines nationwide are being pressured to follow suit
This is common sense. Treat them the same as us! ALL airlines should do this!
RT @ofcrdeonjoseph: I don’t think people understand how real this job is. Yesterday, a panicked citizen told me a young man was walking aro…
😁😁😁
Delta has just suspended its VIP status for Congressional members. THANK YOU DELTA. This wasn’t just a “perk.” It was the ruling class separating itself from the common man, insulating itself from YOU. Now, during their shutdown, they have to stand where you stand. Did I mention, THANK YOU @Delta.
“Reacher” is only a character. But Alan Ritchson is a freaking mountain. Smarter ppl don’t “poke the bear.”
JUST IN: Brentwood Police say 'Reacher' star Alan Ritchson acted in self-defense, say no charges will be filed.
The development comes as new footage appears to show Ritchson's neighbor blocking the road while he was on his motorcycle.
"After reviewing available evidence, including video footage and witness statements, authorities determined that no criminal charges will be pursued," said the Brentwood Police Department.
"Mr. Ritchson’s actions were found to be in self-defense."
"Although a potential reckless endangerment charge was considered, Mr. Ritchson declined to pursue charges."
The case has been closed.

Strong. And, so sad.
.@GovPritzker, I saw your post honoring lives lost in Minnesota—standing publicly, naming Alex Pretti and Renee Good, and laying flowers in their memory.
But where was that same compassion on January 19, 2025?
That is the day my 20-year-old daughter, Katie Abraham, was killed here in Illinois. She was innocent. She did not knowingly put herself in the middle of an ongoing law enforcement situation. She was not making a dangerous choice.
She was simply living her life—and it was taken from her.
You have never said her name. You have never come to where she died. You have never acknowledged her publicly.
And beyond that—you have never even responded to me.
I sent you a simple, non-political letter. Not for attention. Not for headlines. Just a father asking for clarity, for answers, and for understanding of the state’s position.
You never replied.
And now, in the wake of another tragedy here in Chicago, your public display of compassion elsewhere—while remaining silent about victims in your own state—feels deeply disconnected from the reality families like mine are living every day.
Instead, you continue to defend sanctuary policies that create the conditions where preventable tragedies like hers can happen.
This is not about politics. It’s about leadership and accountability.
When you choose to publicly mourn some victims while remaining silent about others—especially those lost under policies you support—it sends a message.
Whether intentional or not, it tells families like mine that our loss does not matter the same way.
So I am asking you directly:
Where is your compassion for my daughter? Where is your acknowledgment of victims here in Illinois? And when will you take responsibility for the consequences of the policies you defend?
Say her name: Katie Abraham.
Stand where she died. Show the people of Illinois that every life matters.

Radical left Democrats have voted 7 times against funding TSA and DHS. They are so obsessed with open borders that they’re willing to let your travel become a nightmare and leave TSA agents without paychecks.

Horrible news, people.
I ran outside my house this morning when I saw this screaming “STOP THE WAR WITH IRAN! SELENA GOMEZ THREATENED TO STOP RELEASING MUSIC IF IT CONTINUES!”
My neighbors heard me and immediately started rioting in their driveways. We all ran to the HOA president’s house and flipped her car over. I mean, we were gonna do that anyway, but now it really meant something.
I don’t know how this country will survive without the music of Selena Gomez. Trump… if you’re listening… please, man… this is Selena Gomez we’re talking about! NOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!
Someone is preaching from the reality pulpit of TRUTH!

10 days into Operation Epic Fury and we have decimated Iran’s military, their ballistic missiles, their drones, their navy, and their air defenses.

Muslim and Somali business owners say they won’t back down and are prepared to shut down their businesses and leave the United States if what they describe as “Islamophobia” continues.
They warn that if they close their doors and leave, the economic impact could be significant.
Business owners say it could leave commercial buildings vacant, eliminate jobs, and harm local communities that depend on those businesses.

There are Americans right now screaming, “Why are we in Iran? This isn’t our fight.”
Let’s slow that down.
While you’re at home arguing online…
While you’re building your business…
While your kids are asleep in a safe suburb…
There are 18–22-year-old Americans standing watch in places most people can’t even point to on a map.
Not for Israel.
Not for some abstract ideology.
For American leverage.
The United States Department of War doesn’t maintain roughly 750–800 bases in 80+ countries because it’s bored. That network exists because global dominance isn’t a slogan - it’s infrastructure.
Japan. Germany. South Korea.
The Middle East. The Pacific. Europe.
The US currently has around 170,000–180,000 active-duty personnel overseas.
In the Middle East alone? 40,000–60,000 troops.
That’s not charity.
That’s positioning.
Look at the map:
Al Udeid Air Base in Qatar - ~10,000 troops.
Camp Arifjan in Kuwait - logistics backbone.
United States Fifth Fleet headquartered in Bahrain - guarding maritime arteries.
Prince Sultan Air Base in Saudi Arabia.
Ain al-Asad Airbase in Iraq.
Why?
Because oil still moves through the Strait of Hormuz.
Because supply chains still cross hostile waters.
Because adversaries still calculate power based on proximity and readiness.
You enjoy low fuel volatility?
Stable trade?
A dollar that still dominates global settlement?
That doesn’t happen because the world is nice.
It happens because America is present.
If the U.S. pulls back from global dominance, here’s what fills the vacuum:
China expands naval control in the Pacific and beyond.
Russia pushes harder into Europe and energy markets.
Iran leverages proxies and choke points without restraint.
Superpowers don’t get to be isolationist.
Empires that retreat don’t stay wealthy - they decline.
You can dislike war. Good. So should everyone.
But pretending that disengagement equals peace is naïve.
Peace through absence has never worked in human history.
Deterrence works. Presence works. Positioning works.
When carrier strike groups move into the region, they aren’t there for theatrics. They’re there to prevent miscalculation. Each carrier group carries 5,000–6,000 personnel. That’s not symbolism - that’s leverage.
And here’s the uncomfortable truth:
If America stops protecting sea lanes, energy corridors, and alliance structures…
Your cost of living spikes.
Markets destabilize.
Allies hedge.
Enemies test boundaries.
And suddenly the conflict you wanted to avoid shows up closer to home.
You don’t have to cheer military action.
But at least understand this:
The comfort you’re enjoying was bought and is maintained by forward positioning.
By deterrence.
By young Americans standing in places you’d never volunteer to go.
This isn’t about Israel.
It’s about whether the United States remains the global superpower - or becomes just another large country reacting to stronger ones.
Power vacuums don’t stay empty.
They get filled.
The only real question is:
Do you want America filling that space - or someone else?
At least understand the bigger picture before spewing nonesense.
Humanity sometimes shows up. Sadly, TDS completely obliterates it, along with decency and common sense.
Seeing that viral video of our brave American pilot shot down over Kuwait amid the Iran chaos and getting helped, assisted, and treated with real respect by the local Kuwaiti people hits different.
They rushed to him, checked if he’s OK, got him to safety, even loaded him up to get medical help fast. No hate, no politics, just gratitude for America stepping up against the mullahs.
Meanwhile, back home? Our own Democrats are out undermining our military, calling for defunding, and treating our troops like political punching bags. Can’t even STAND for a wounded veteran last week during the SOTU address.
One side risks it all and gets real humanity from strangers in the desert.
The other side? Pure betrayal and TDS fueled hate from the swamp!
That’s all you need to know about who’s got America’s back and who doesn’t!
Thank God for our warriors and real allies. 🙌🏼🇺🇸
