..The coming midterms everyone, do NOT forget..
Dear President Trump, I write this letter to you today with the fire of freedom that you have reignited in millions of American patriots. You are the relentless flame this country needed when the lights were flickering low, and today I want every soul who loves America to feel that same heat in their chest. You look like a man who hasn’t slept since 2015, and I believe it. While the rest of Washington crawls into silk sheets after another day of selling us out, you’re pacing the halls at 2 a.m., phone in hand, hammering out the next winning move. That tireless fire for this country burns so hot it probably keeps the whole White House lit. You don’t do it for glory or gold you do it because you see what America was meant to be: strong, prosperous, and unapologetically great. The powers that be smear you every single day because they know if you succeed, their game is over. The media twists your words, the elites paint you as a villain, and the swamp creatures leak, lie, and lawfare you into oblivion. They don’t want you winning because your victory means their cushy little empire of weakness crumbles. But you? You keep swinging. You keep standing. That’s the kind of love for America most men only talk about on the Fourth of July. They’ve attacked you over and over legally, politically, and yes, with bullets. Three assassination attempts that would have broken lesser men, and you walked away with blood on your ear and fire in your eyes, fist raised, telling the world you were still here for us. They tried to silence you with indictments, raids, and every dirty trick in their corrupt playbook. They called you every name in the book, hunted your family, and turned the justice system into a weapon. Yet here you are, still fighting, still standing taller than ever. Why? Because you want America great again not for yourself, but for the factory worker in Ohio, the rancher in Texas, the mom in Florida who just wants her kids to inherit a nation worth fighting for. That’s not politics that’s pure, unbreakable patriotism. Your relentless spirit proves that America isn’t finished it’s just getting started. You’ve reminded us that greatness isn’t handed down; it’s fought for, tooth and nail, by those who refuse to kneel. And because you refuse, we refuse too. We stand with you. We vote with you. We fight with you. The same fire that keeps you awake at night is waking up millions of patriots who were asleep too long. You’ve made it cool to love America again and to wave the flag with purpose. To the man who took a bullet for this republic and still charges forward like a lion. To the misunderstood warrior the elites fear because he actually delivers. To the father, the fighter, the president who loves this country so fiercely that nothing...not media smears, not lawfare, not even assassins can make him quit. You’ve given us back our pride. You’ve shown us the path. Now it’s our turn. Every patriotic American reading this, rise up. Stand tall. Work hard, speak truth, defend liberty, and never apologize for wanting America First. We are the heirs of revolutionaries, the sons and daughters of the greatest nation on earth, and under your leadership we will make her great again stronger, prouder, and freer than ever before. The dawn is breaking, the eagle is soaring, and together we will roar. From the bottom of my heart, and millions of many others, thank you sir. God bless you, President Trump. And may God continue to bless the United States of America. With unwavering respect and American fire... A Proud Trump Supporter, Mr. Star-Spangled MAGA

Attention!! @elonmusk , @X, @realDonaldTrump....Old Russian has defined a serious issue!!
2/6 🧵 Everyone focuses on Palantir's contracts. Old bear wants to show you something more important 👇 ‼️The Ontology‼️ Never heard of it? That's the point, comrades... 😬 Here is the thing about Palantir's data platform, cubs... Most people think the lock-in is the contract. Sign a five-year deal, get trapped. Standard vendor stuff. 🤷 No-no. That's amateur lock-in. ☝️ Palantir's lock-in is ARCHITECTURAL. And it runs much, much deeper. ‼️ When an institution deploys Palantir.... IRS, NHS, USDA, Army, does not matter.... they don't just connect their data. They rebuild their entire operational model inside something called the Ontology. 🤖 So.... What is the Ontology? 🤔 It's a live, executable model of how the institution works. 1️⃣Every entity... a Farmer, a Taxpayer, a Target, a Patient... becomes an Object. 2️⃣Every relationship between them becomes a Link. 3️⃣Every action the institution is allowed to take becomes a governed Transaction. 4️⃣Every decision ever made gets logged as an immutable record. 📋 The institution stops working WITH data and starts working THROUGH the Ontology. And here is where it gets interesting, cubs 👇 👉Your raw data? Stored in Apache Iceberg.... open standard, portable, replaceable. 👉Your compute pipelines? Spark and Flink... standard engines, replaceable. 👉Your infrastructure? AWS, Azure, on-prem.. Apollo-managed but cloud-agnostic. But the Ontology ITSELF 👉the schema, the action logic, the applications your people use to do their jobs every day, the AI agents built on top, and 10 years of decision history? 🚫 None of that is portable. None of it exports. No migration path exists. ‼️ The NHS in Britain found this out the hard way. After £330 million, they do not own the software, the IP, or the connector code built around the Federated Data Platform. Palantir keeps the rights. The state rents back its own institutional memory from the company that built it. 😬 👉Migration does not mean finding a new vendor and moving your data. 👉Migration means rebuilding the entire operational logic of your institution from scratch. ‼️ That is not a contract cage, cubs. That is an architectural cage. 💥 And once the Ontology is built and your people work inside it every day... Good luck clawing that back. 😬 #OldBearTruth

Thune, Senate A SOLID MAJORITY OF THE VOTING PUBLIC WANTS ELECTIONS CLEANED UP!!!!!!!!!!!! @gop
Fewer than 3 years. That’s all the time we have left. If we lose 2026, we are likely to lose 2028. Our Republican Senate majority hasn’t passed any meaningful legislation, which means many of President Trump’s policies aren’t codified into law. If a democrat president wins 2028, then these 4 years won’t mean anything. The next Department of Homeland Security Secretary will reopen the border — just like Alejandro Mayorkas did. Then, when democrats regain control of the Senate, they will nuke the filibuster & pass legislation to implement automatic mail-in ballots in all 50 states. Ballot harvesting will be the law of the land. They will stack the Supreme Court, add 2 new democrat Senators with the creation of DC as a state, & establish a permanent democrat majority. We have the power to stop this, but the question is whether or not @LeaderJohnThune wants to be remembered as a hero or a villain.

Read and repost.. ..or leave, if you dislike the message.
I may piss a few of you off by posting this. We can handle it one of two ways: discuss it like adults or you can unfriend me. Your choice. You have your opinion and I have mine. Before anyone gets their panties in a wad, I add that my ancestors came here from other countries, as did most everyone else's ancestors, and they learned the language and worked and never once did I hear any of them trash America. They became citizens, were proud to be one and some served in the military! I am nice to everyone and I have no problem with anyone coming here and making a good life for themselves and their family, BUT if you are coming here and expect us to become what you just came from, then that’s not happening! Return and work on your country and make it better where you can be proud to live in it. Muslims who want to live under Islamic Sharia law were told on Wednesday to get out of AMERICA, as the government targeted radicals in a bid to head off potential terror attacks. “IMMIGRANTS, NOT AMERICANS, MUST ADAPT.” Take it or leave it. I am tired of this nation worrying about whether we are offending some individual or their culture. Since the terrorist attacks, we have experienced a surge in patriotism by the majority of Americans. This culture has been developed over two centuries of struggles, trials and victories by millions of men and women who have sought freedom. We speak ENGLISH, not Spanish, Lebanese, Arabic, Chinese, Japanese, Russian, or any other language. Therefore, if you wish to become part of our society, learn the language. Most Americans believe in God. This is not some Christian, right wing, political push, but a fact, because Christian men and women, on Christian principles, founded this nation, and is clearly documented. It is certainly appropriate to display it on the walls of our schools. If God offends you, then I suggest you consider another part of the world as your new home, because God is part of our "culture." We will accept your beliefs, and will not question why. All we ask is that you accept ours, and live in harmony and peaceful enjoyment with us. This is OUR COUNTRY, OUR LAND, and OUR LIFESTYLE, and we will allow you every opportunity to enjoy all this. But once you are done complaining and whining about Our Flag, Our Pledge, Our Christian beliefs, or Our Way of Life, I highly encourage you take advantage of one other great AMERICAN freedom, "THE RIGHT TO LEAVE". If you aren't happy here, then LEAVE. We didn't force you to come here. You asked to be here. So accept the country that accepted you. NOTE: IF we circulate this among ourselves, WE will find the courage to start speaking and voicing the same truths. If you agree, please SEND THIS ON and as for those who disagree, move to a country that suits you and live there. " THANK YOU! 🇺🇸 Copy and Paste if you want... I can't be the only American that feels this way..

..Yes, we are watching and remembering, then voting.
The root of this entire Democrat shutdown is a demand to reopen the border and to protect criminal illegal aliens.   Democrats prioritize murderous illegal aliens over American citizens. Look at their actions, their words, and their votes.

Hello Senator Thune, Wow. Just wow. Democrats didn't block Trump's nominees, @SenateGOP did. You had the majority. You failed. Republicans rejected Trump's picks. That's not on Democrats. We aren't Marxists; we believe in historical fact. And the fact is, you torpedoed @EagleEdMartin over manufactured outrage about January 6, while ignoring actual violence your constituents face. You don't get to revise the record. You own this. You talk about being the party of personal accountability. Stop attending lobbyist steak dinners and start showing it.

Yes.. ..THIS.. ..PRECISELY!!!
𝗦𝗘𝗡. 𝗧𝗛𝗨𝗡𝗘 𝗝𝗨𝗦𝗧 𝗗𝗘𝗠𝗢𝗡𝗦𝗧𝗥𝗔𝗧𝗘𝗗 𝗪𝗛𝗬 𝗙𝗘𝗗𝗘𝗥𝗔𝗟 𝗘𝗟𝗘𝗖𝗧𝗜𝗢𝗡 𝗟𝗔𝗪 𝗘𝗫𝗜𝗦𝗧𝗦 Senate Majority Leader John Thune just unwittingly enumerated the exact issue. When asked why the filibuster matters more than stopping non-citizens from voting, his answer was: states have the authority to do this already. My state has those requirements in place. Senator Thune. 𝗧𝗵𝗮𝘁 𝗶𝘀 𝗽𝗿𝗲𝗰𝗶𝘀𝗲𝗹𝘆 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗽𝗿𝗼𝗯𝗹𝗲𝗺. South Dakota having voter integrity requirements is wonderful. South Dakota also votes for federal officials — senators, representatives, presidents — whose decisions affect every American. So does California. And California issues driver's licenses to illegal immigrants, has no citizenship verification at voter registration, and the documented cases of non-citizens voting keep piling up. When a California senator is elected with votes that include non-citizens, that senator goes to Washington and votes on legislation that affects South Dakota. On taxes. On wars. On spending. On the Supreme Court. The integrity of California's elections is not California's problem alone. It is every American's problem. This is the entire constitutional justification for federal election law. The Supremacy Clause exists precisely so that rogue states cannot opt out of basic standards that affect the whole nation. "My state already does it" is not an argument against federal legislation — it's an argument for it. If your state already does it, the federal law costs you nothing. The states that resist are the ones telling you exactly why it's needed. Thune needs to hold the floor, force the vote, and let every Democrat own their opposition publicly. 𝗙𝗲𝗱𝗲𝗿𝗮𝗹 𝗲𝗹𝗲𝗰𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻 𝗹𝗮𝘄 𝗲𝘅𝗶𝘀𝘁𝘀 𝗯𝗲𝗰𝗮𝘂𝘀𝗲 𝘀𝗼𝗺𝗲 𝘀𝘁𝗮𝘁𝗲𝘀 𝘄𝗼𝗻'𝘁 𝗱𝗼 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗿𝗶𝗴𝗵𝘁 𝘁𝗵𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝘂𝗻𝗹𝗲𝘀𝘀 𝘁𝗵𝗲𝘆'𝗿𝗲 𝗺𝗮𝗱𝗲 𝘁𝗼. But we know that our Senate leadership doesn't have the intestinal fortitude to do anything. I can't begin to tell you how disgusted I am over this.

Interesting flip from '20 to now, I wonder where the money is?
You have these idiots running around saying we can’t criticize Joe Kent because he’s a veteran, but what they don’t realize is that we don’t have to… we can use his own words to demonstrate how much of a loser he is.

This from a convert.. ..I have been this way since Carter.
I think one of the most eye-openings moments for me has been watching Leftists and Democrat politicians try to destroy the lives of people trying to root out waste and fraud in the government. I used to think that Democrats cared about the poor and elderly... I voted for Democrats because of that compassion I thought I saw. Why would ANYONE want people to steal money mean for them? If your actual concern was protecting the poor and elderly, you'd be the loudest voice for demanding fraud be prosecuted. Every dollar stolen from Medicaid is a dollar that doesn't reach a sick kid. Every SNAP scam is food taken from someone who actually needs it. But that's literally the opposite of what I'm seeing. I mean... at some point you have to start asking: "Who exactly is benefiting from letting the fraud continue?" Because it's definitely not the poor American citizens and it's not the elderly American citizens. I'm pissed my tax dollars are being stolen and used for luxury cars, but I'm infinitely more pissed that foreigners are literally stealing money from programs designed to help the MOST VULNERABLE... ...and Democrats don't even seem to give a damn In fact, they seem to be wanting to hide the fraud? It's one of the most insane things I've ever witnessed and this is coming from someone who once voted for Democrats... It's hard to believe what I'm seeing. But I guess the Democratic Party is now the party of pro-fraud.
