Placing my marker: it is dangerous to democracy to claim that democracy is on the ballot in this election. The implication is that if one candidate wins legitimately that democracy must be dead. Stop saying it. It only serves to further undermine public confidence & fuel division

On this day in 2017, an unhinged Bernie Sanders supporter opened fire on us at the Congressional baseball practice. The attack lasted approximately nine minutes, but I was in position to end it much quicker had I not been a law-abiding gun owner, stripped of my right to self defense by the restrictive gun laws in Washington D.C. The mad man didn’t care about gun laws. They never do. Thank God all the innocent people survived that day.

USA. A Mexican restaurant. We had not yet ordered anything, and the food was already arriving. Chips. Salsa. Unrequested. Free. I stopped the waiter. "We have not earned these." "They just come with the table, man." They come with the TABLE. In my land, hospitality is a debt. Every gift creates an obligation, weighed carefully, returned in the proper season with interest of feeling. Here, the gift arrives before you have even proven you can pay for dinner. This is not an appetizer. This is a declaration: we trust you. Eat. I ate with the gravity the moment deserved. And then — I must report this calmly — the basket emptied, and a new one appeared. "Did we…?" "Refill," the waiter said. "It's bottomless." Bottomless. They have wells of salsa. The supply lines of this nation are beyond anything my ancestors imagined. My friend warned me. "Don't fill up on chips, dude." Too late. I had accepted three baskets. Honor demanded each one be finished — an unfinished gift is an insult. By the time my actual food arrived, I was a ruined man. I was not hungry. I was not comfortable. I had been defeated by a courtesy. Generosity that arrives before the request cannot be repaid. It can only be survived. I know the rule now. I have made my peace with the basket. One basket. Two at the most. Who am I deceiving. There is no number of baskets I would refuse. The trust of a nation is in that salsa, and I intend to honor all of it.

.@RobAdkersonGA is a rock-solid, pro-Trump conservative who will fight for GA-11. Proud of my friend of 15 years for being in the fight. We need fewer Thomas Massies and more Jim Jordan-style republicans in Congress who can get conservative things done. Rob fits that mold. VoteRobAdkerson.com

Dad tears up watching his son make his Major League debut. Seeing your kid reach the highest level of the sport has to be one of the greatest feelings in the world.

Why do we continue to do this to ourselves? @dotsonc @jefffcarr @soffenbaker @CharlieG__ Why is my TV still even on?

Chipper Jones giving kids free hitting advice is the best thing on X. And it’s not even close.

I bucked all advice from my friends (and resisted my conservative bias) and decided to fully trust the Times journalists. As they left my home they asked that I not talk to any other outlets and I insisted then and repeatedly over the following weeks that I would keep my word and only share this story with them. But then the weeks dragged on. They kept coming back to us saying the editors needed more. I needed to go on the record (okay). We need more screenshots (okay). I met every bench mark they set, eager to provide more sources or evidence as needed. After the story went up I began to ask them … wait, where are the stories from the other women? Where are their accusations of sexual assault? Why am I the focus? Why are there 11 paragraphs dedicated to detailing my work history (more than has been published about Graham’s by far)? Why does it say “nobody could corroborate” when I offered them sources that COULD corroborate? Why did they include an out of context quote from a friend joking “do not call Graham” after I called off my wedding? (Because she knew I would never). Where were the screenshots they’d said they would use? Or the mention that I’d supported local democrats and that most of my family (and husband) are liberal? The editors said it was too much, they explained. The Times also failed to include any mention that I DID confide in multiple friends through the years that Graham had been abusive — long before he was running for office. Those friends confirm they told the Times so. It dawned on me that this really was a set up all along. The journalists I trusted who convinced me to share a story I never wanted to tell methodically delayed and twisted this into a gift to the Platner campaign. Violating the trust of his victims. Shattering the trust I placed in them with the most vulnerable story of my life. And at the end of my call with them I reluctantly accepted their insistence that this was still a powerful story and that I had done a brave thing. And I thanked them for all the hard work they had put into it. Still fawning after all these years.

“Rob will be a perfect Congressman for us. He’s experienced, solid on the issues, and he lives in and cares about our District. Best of all, he’s totally real, not a shred of fake in him. Rob is one of us!” -Harry Johnston, Cherokee Board of Commissioners Chairman. Thank you, Harry! Our campaign has built a coalition of grassroots conservatives and local leaders that reflects the values of the 11th District. Let’s win this thing!

RT @RobAdkersonGA: Todd Starnes is exactly right: “The first warning sign is when they start deleting their tweets.” John Cowan does not s…

I have been listening to the radio ads from John Cowan's campaign, and they are a textbook example of misleading attacks dressed up as facts. As someone who lives in Georgia's 11th District and actually does the research, this kind of dishonesty is frustrating. Here are the claims, addressed with facts: "Adkerson got rich off the taxpayers." Rob Adkerson served as Chief of Staff to Congressman Barry Loudermilk. Like every other congressional Chief of Staff, he received a government salary. That is how congressional offices operate. It is not unique to Adkerson, and it is not some scandal. "Adkerson put his wife on the payroll." Congressman Loudermilk hired Ashley Adkerson as a staff assistant. Rob Adkerson recused himself from the hiring process. She was a qualified candidate with relevant experience. This is standard practice across many congressional offices and hardly the corruption it is being portrayed as. "Adkerson took trips on the taxpayers' dime." Congressional staff travel with their Member for official business, including district work, hearings, and meetings. These trips are routine, disclosed, and funded the same way they are for every Representative's staff. There is nothing unusual or improper here. On Trump support, the claim that Adkerson is anti-Trump does not hold up. He worked directly for Congressman Loudermilk, one of President Trump's strongest and most consistent allies in Congress, particularly on issues surrounding January 6th and the weaponization of government. There is no credible evidence supporting the attack. By contrast, John Cowan has a documented record of criticizing President Trump after January 6th, including referring to the events as "Trump's Rebellion" and suggesting Trump sounded like a "drunk uncle." His current positioning feels more calculated than consistent. On policy, Cowan's so-called "aggressive" agenda largely consists of mainstream positions that enjoy broad bipartisan support. That is not the kind of fighter this district needs in Washington. Georgia's 11th District deserves a representative who will actually support President Trump's agenda and fight the entrenched interests in D.C., not someone running a campaign built on distortion. Vote Rob Adkerson on June 16.

ICYMI there is only one proven conservative ready to serve Georgia’s 11th District: @RobAdkersonGA. He has the experience and plan to keep our communities safe, protect taxpayer dollars, and deliver results. That’s why he’s endorsed by @CPAC, @TPUSA, and many other leading orgs!

I want to take him turkey hunting now.

Make the nondelegation doctrine great again! #GAGOP #GAPOL

The guy with a Nazi tattoo is shocked that Jewish Americans are rallying to his political opponent. Idiot.

Eugenio Suarez puts his arm around Edwin Arroyo. Edwin does the same. The two, now teammates, walk like that all the way to the outfield. Arroyo just got called-up this morning. He’s about to make his MLB debut. #Reds @WCPO
