Reading through Thomas Massie's articles of impeachment against Pete Hegseth. There are 8 articles. Articles 1, 2, and 3 all accuse Hegseth of violating the War Powers Resolution by waging war in Iran. You might ask yourself: Did Pete Hegseth order US forces into action in Iran? I thought President Trump did that. That's a good question; from the very beginning, Hegseth appears to serve as a stand-in for Massie's real desire, which is to impeach Trump.
Article 4 is about the accidental hit on the Iranian school. Article 5 is about the drug boat attacks. Article 6 is about retaliating against Sen. Mark Kelly over the you-can-refuse-an-unlawful-order video. Article 7 is about the Venezuela attack and taking Nicolas Maduro into US custody. And Article 8 is about strikes against the Houthis in Yemen.
In all, Articles 1, 2, 3, 5, 7, and 8 are matters of the president's constitutional authority to wage war. If Massie wants to impeach somebody for those actions, the proper official to impeach is the president. Article 4 is about an accident by US forces in Iran. That leaves Article 6, the Mark Kelly matter, as the only issue for which Hegseth appears to bear some direct responsibility.
Massie is clearly pushing these articles because he is racing the clock against his own departure from Congress on January 3, having been defeated in a Republican primary in his home state of Kentucky. There is only so much time left to do damage, and with this BS impeachment, Massie is trying to make the most of it.

All you need to do is look at all his accomplishments in FL, but also look at the performance of the GOP in the election, compared to a lot of other red states. He's clearly more conservative than Vance (aligning with alt-right) and Rubio (always a Bush Republican).

If you tolerate Islam, Islam will grow.
When Islam grows, it will not tolerate you.
If you agree with me, repost this!
So what if a Muslim wins an election in America and becomes a congressman or senator? Why is that any different from a Buddhist winning an election?
Because Buddhism is a religion. Islam is a state.
Islam has a population: the ummah. It has a constitution: Sharia. It has courts, criminal law, family law, taxation, rules for minorities, doctrines of war and peace, and a foreign-policy framework governing relations between the land of Islam and the lands outside it.
The ummah is not tied to Egypt, Pakistan, Saudi Arabia, Indonesia, or any other modern country. It crosses all of them.
Islam's population "Muslims" belong to one political-religious community.
That is fundamentally different from Buddhism.
A Buddhist American may practice Buddhism faithfully, but Buddhism does not give him a second universal political order with its own law, sovereignty, territorial doctrine, and theory of government.
Islam does.
This is why reducing Islam to “just another religion” misses the point.
Muslim officeholders are literally citizens of another existing country, and their loyalties can never be American first, because the two projects are contradictory.
Add to that the religious hatred of Jews in Islam and the special relationship between Israel and America.
A Muslim in a position of power in America, with a religious mandate to hate Jews, will not approach Israel from the perspective of what is in America’s best interest, but rather from the perspective of what Islam commands him to do.

To attempt to honour one prominent abortion supporter might be regarded as a misfortune. To attempt to honour two looks rather like a pastoral strategy. 😂
Cardinal Cupich is at it again. Last year, Senator Dick Durbin. This year, billionaire Planned Parenthood donor Michael Sacks. And the latest award is being presented at a fundraiser for the formation of future Catholic priests. Oscar Wilde would have had a field day.
Perhaps the Archdiocese of Chicago could save everyone some trouble by publishing the eligibility criteria. 😏

Dear Bishop Joensen,
Your October 24th statement said: There are many things tied to this present Administration that are blatantly at odds with our Catholic faith. You named the administration. You did not name the party whose platform contradicts Catholic teaching more directly than any policy you cited. That asymmetry is not a pastoral observation. It is a partisan one.
Immigration enforcement is a prudential question, and Catholics may weigh it differently. On abortion, on the surgical and chemical transition of children, on the redefinition of marriage — the Church has not left room for prudential disagreement. Those positions are not at odds with Catholic teaching in some debatable sense. They contradict it outright.
If your standard is what is blatantly at odds with the faith, the Democratic Party's platform meets it more directly than any border policy. You know this. Your silence on it, nine days before a national election, while naming only the administration in power, tells the faithful something you did not say in words.
A bishop who applies the faith as a measuring stick owes the faithful both ends of it. Selective application is not teaching. It is campaigning with vestments on.
In Christ,
Joseph Fosco

One could say that Cornell is infantilizing its female students. President Michael Kotlikoff, following up on his maudlin video performance of Oct. 3, has just banned all fraternity social events for the remainder of the 2026-2027 academic year. Doing so is necessary, Kotlikoff said, to strengthen campus safety.
This measure is wildly overinclusive. The number of “sexual assaults” (we will merely bracket the term for the moment) that would have come out of the dozens of future frat gatherings is minute to non-existent. The more efficient measure would have been to let females evaluate the risk of attending, and if they decide the risk is too high, boycott the parties. Or don’t show up roaring drunk. Or don’t get into bed with a guy whom you have no deep relationship with. Or don’t get into bed with a guy at all, unless you are engaged or, god forbid, married.
But Kotlikoff is implicitly right about one thing: He is presiding over a bunch of helpless, nauseatingly self-pitying co-eds who eschew all personal agency and who thus appear to need Cornell’s intercession. Cornell’s females expect everyone other than themselves to safeguard them.

My post about France went viral. Thousands of likes. Many Americans told me: "Democrats aren't socialists. America will never be France." I want to answer that seriously, step by step.
Start with a simple observation. Look at what has gotten cheaper in America over the last 25 years: TVs, phones, software, clothes, toys. Now look at what has exploded: college tuition, healthcare, childcare, housing.
What separates the two lists? The first lives in competitive markets. The second is exactly where government is most involved: subsidies, mandates, licensing, zoning, regulation.
College. Washington lends students almost unlimited money. Universities know the money will always come, so they raise tuition and hire more administrators. The student pays the bill for twenty years. More government money, higher prices.
Housing. Why can't a nurse buy a home in the city where she works? Not because of capitalism. Because of zoning laws, permits, environmental reviews, years of procedure to build a single building. The most expensive places to live in America are the places where it's hardest to build. When building is nearly illegal, prices explode.
Healthcare. The patient almost never sees the price. A third party pays, regulations limit who can compete, and costs climb year after year with no one able to say no.
So here is the trap. The problems you suffer from are not the failure of free markets. They are the places where the market has already been replaced by the state. And the solution you're being offered is more of the same.
That's the Trojan horse. It always works the same way. A real problem. A generous-sounding promise. A program that makes things worse. Then the failure of that program becomes the argument for the next one. People who lived under communism in Poland learned to recognize the lie and the mask the lie wears. The lie never presents itself as a lie. It presents itself as compassion.
In France we are at the end of that road. Debt we can never repay. Young people who can't afford a home. Our best people leaving. And every few years our cities burn. Nobody voted for this. They voted for one more generous promise, fifty years in a row.
If you're a Republican, share this with the Democrat in your life. Not to win an argument. To start a conversation.
If you're a Democrat, I'm not asking you to switch teams. I'm asking you to look at the pattern. Wherever the state took over, life became unaffordable. Don't fix the failures of government with more government.
Stay American. Ask for less state, not more.
I’m French. I want to talk to Americans who are about to vote Democrat. Not to insult you. To warn you.
I come from your future.
In France we did everything your progressive politicians promise. Free healthcare, free college, generous welfare, strong unions, heavy regulation, high taxes on the rich, a state that takes care of everything. Public spending close to 57% of GDP, one of the highest on the planet. On paper, it’s the dream.
Here’s what it looks like from the inside. France hasn’t passed a balanced budget since 1974. Our debt is above 3,300 billion euros. Interest on that debt is becoming one of the biggest items in the national budget. Our hospitals are collapsing despite record funding. Our schools rank lower every year. Young people with degrees can’t afford an apartment in the city they were born in. Our best engineers leave for London, Zurich and San Francisco. And the rich you wanted to tax? They left too, and took the jobs with them.
The promise was protection. The result is stagnation.
The worst part is that nobody in France voted for decline. Every single step sounded generous, compassionate, reasonable. One more program. One more regulation. One more tax to fund it. Each step alone makes sense. Fifty years of them, and you wake up in a country that can no longer build a nuclear plant on time or keep its streets safe.
I love America because it’s the one place on earth where people still believe they can build something from nothing. I came to Silicon Valley as a self-taught kid and it changed my life. That spirit is the most precious thing your country has.
Before you vote, ask yourself one question: is the program you’re voting for making America more like America, or more like France?
Trust me. You don’t want to be France.

DeSantis took cautionary measures (in line with White House policy) for a short time following the initial covid outbreak. As soon as data rolled in he began to do a full cost/benefit analysis on the effects of draconian lockdown measures. He rejected them based on a host of factors, from the health effects of economic depression to potential death rates related to actual depression (hiding in your house actually isn’t good for you, whoodathunkit).
He explained the reasoning behind each move he made while reminding us that the maximization of liberty is what makes America great. Covid was what really made me pay attention to him, and it’s why despite my frustrations I’ll start going door to door if he announces for ‘28 right now. That type of leadership does not grow on trees. It’s actually generational.

I’m often asked what I call the actions of Israel in Gaza.
I call it urban warfare, an extremely difficult type of war which tragically has a high casualty rate.
I call it the result of having been the target of 30,000-40,000 rockets aimed at civilians for decades.
I call it the natural outcome when you have people living beside you who constantly try to kill the citizens of your country.
I call it the culmination of multiple attempts at ceasefires and peace negotiations and offers of land for recognition and peace that never go anywhere.
I call it the only option after a savage massacre that saw 1200 brutal murders, countless rapes, 250 kidnappings, the strangulation of a 9-month and 4-year old, months of torture of hostages and their families, and a promise to do it over and over and over again.
I call it a sane rational decision after rats sneak into your country, hunt the people of your nation, and then scurry like rats underground to hide from your response, putting their own citizens between themselves and your rockets and bombs.
I call it the government of Gaza, Hamas, intentionally trying to sacrifice the lives of the people of Gaza in order to turn public opinion against Israel.
I call it tragic and horrific and devastating for the innocent people who have gotten caught up in this situation that their government has created, on purpose.
I call it the absolute only choice Israel has to try and stop the bloodshed and bring peace to the region.
I call it a miracle that Israel, despite how vicious the attack of Oct 7 was, has shown incredible patience and restraint in doing everything it can to minimize deaths and injuries to innocent victims, as few countries would have done the same.
And I call it disgraceful and disgusting that despite all of that, much of the world chooses to believe the lies and propaganda that Hamas and the Free Palestine movement are shoving down their throats, and have turned on Israel, one of the greatest countries in the world, by far.
That’s what I call it.
