The perfect replacement for Tulsi Gabbard

"Gabbard has served her country with uncommon courage and integrity. Here is the right man to take the torch from her.

 Don Brown - American Thinker   

"For North Carolina, for America, and for the United States Constitution, Dan Bishop as director of National Intelligence would be a win-win for all."

"Tulsi Gabbard has served her country with uncommon courage and integrity.  A combat veteran who deployed to Iraq and Kuwait with the Army National Guard, she entered Congress as a Democrat but refused to toe the party line when it conflicted with the Constitution or America’s national security.  She boldly called out the “elitist cabal” dominating her former party, exposed the failures of endless wars, and stood against the weaponization of government against political opponents.  As President Trump’s director of National Intelligence, she worked to declassify hidden truths, reform a bloated intelligence community, and put America First.

"Gabbard’s recent resignation, effective June 30, to support her husband through a serious illness, is a reminder of the personal sacrifices so many in public service make.  We owe her gratitude for her service and her willingness to put principle above politics.

"Now the president has an opportunity to name a successor who combines the same America First instincts with unmatched experience in both national security and the inner workings of the federal government.  That man is Congressman-turned-prosecutor Dan Bishop of North Carolina.

"Bishop is no stranger to the fight for constitutional government.  As a member of the House Freedom Caucus, he was one of its most effective voices — a steadfast defender of limited government, fiscal responsibility, and individual liberty.  He has been particularly resolute in protecting the Fourth Amendment against the surveillance state.  Bishop consistently opposed the warrantless surveillance provisions of Section 702 of the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act (FISA)." . . .  More...

Transgender Day of Visibility on Easter Among Biden’s Governmentwide Anti-Christian Policies

 Judicial Watch  

"The agency prevented foster children from being placed with Christian families or Christian foster agencies that did not affirm the Biden administration’s policies on sexual orientation and gender ideology." 

May 12, 2026; "A governmentwide anti-Christian effort launched under the Biden administration was much worse than previously imagined and a new report published by a Department of Justice (DOJ) task force documents the alarming details of woke measures adopted by most federal agencies to conduct the mission that clearly targeted conservatives. This includes the Biden DOJ mandating the adoption of gender ideology throughout the federal government, illegally weaponizing a landmark civil rights law prohibiting sex-based discrimination to allow men into women’s sports and intimate facilities, punishing faith-based homeless service providers who raised concerns about biological men entering women-only shelters and allowing federally-funded schools to facilitate “gender transitions” without disclosing education records to parents. In 2024 the Biden administration delivered a sucker punch on Good Friday, a solemn and sacred day for Christians, by announcing that Easter Sunday, a Christian holiday celebrating the resurrection of Jesus Christ, would be officially recognized by the government as Transgender Day of Visibility.

"The flagrant examples go on and on with an extensive list of anti-Christian measures that even President Trump probably could not imagine when he signed an executive order in early 2025 to right the wrong. The order created a special Task Force to Eradicate Anti-Christian Bias within the DOJ to protect the religions freedoms of Americans by ending the anti-Christian weaponization of the government. “The Founders established a Nation in which people were free to practice their faith without fear of discrimination or retaliation by their government,” Trump’s order states, adding that the previous administration engaged in an egregious pattern of targeting peaceful Christians while ignoring violent, anti-Christian offenses. The task force uncovered the Biden administration’s radical policy agenda and documents cases in detail in the recently issued 200-page report, which includes over 300 pages of exhibits and evidence illustrating how individual federal agencies discriminated against Christians. Besides the DOJ, they include key agencies such as the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI), the departments of Education, Housing and Urban Development (HUD), Health, and Human Services (HHS) as well as Homeland Security." . . . More...

It was never about the climate

 Silvio Canto, Jr.   

"Maybe someone should tell them that the clean air in Cuba is due to a collapse of industrial activity. Or we can always remind them of how they treat gays in Palestine or women in general."

"Here is a question for your long weekend: Why haven’t you ever seen a climate change protest before the Chinese embassy anywhere? Why is it always the US or capitalism messing up the environment? Why don’t they show up at all when China is a bigger threat to clean air than any US city?

""The answer is obvious, but I’ll say it. It was never about the climate but rather capitalism or the US.

"Check this out:

In 2024, climate activists in New York City protested alongside anti-Israel protesters at a rally headlined “Climate Justice Means Free Palestine.” Last year, climate change celebrity icon Greta Thunberg tried to storm Israel by sea on a flotilla protesting the country’s war in Gaza, yelling “Free! Free! Palestine!” when she was refused entry.

And, last week, activists from CodePink, a far-left feminist activist group that has received funds from an American expatriate, Neville Roy Singham, living in Shanghai, took a break from their rallies supporting the Islamic Republic of Iran and the Cuba Communist Party to circulate a video on Instagram, attacking a Utah data center project backed by investor Kevin O’Leary.

"That’s a busy bunch protesting against the West. Maybe someone should tell them that the clean air in Cuba is due to a collapse of industrial activity. Or we can always remind them of how they treat gays in Palestine or women in general.

"As the article points out, these marches were always about hating the West and what we stand for. So don’t be fooled by the slogans or some well-meaning people showing up to protest. The root of all of this is hatred of the West and our individual freedoms."   More...
