Fathers, listen to your children. Respect them. Reach out to them regularly. Support them. Defend them. Pay attention when they challenge you. Assume the best about them. Earn their love, and reciprocate it. Don’t let your ego drive a wedge between you and your children. Happy Fathers Day

Seems bad

This book is on our coffee table. More appreciated than ever right now.

You know who else was an Open Borders guy? Jesus. According to the Gospel of Matthew, Jesus's family escaped Herod's purported infant killing spree by crossing the border to Egypt. I guess he's "gross" to Laura Loomer too.

Make it make sense

Even *if* you accept Stephen Miller’s (textually, historically, and morally indefensible) claim that undocumented immigrants are not entitled to due process, you’d *still* need due process to ensure that the individuals at issue are, in fact, undocumented. His argument fails even on its own terms.

And there you have it.

Buyer’s remorse happens when you realize you’ve made a bad choice. Voter’s remorse works the same way, and it is better to realize you’ve been duped than to stubbornly insist you were right despite all evidence to the contrary.

This is your regular reminder that executive orders are not royal decrees. Because America has no king.

Last place. Loser.

Our cover this week.

Breast cancer diagnoses rose by over 300% between 1973 and 1992. Was there a breast cancer epidemic?! NO. Mammograms were implemented for screening in 1976. PREVALENCE is a function of being able to correctly diagnose something. This is also about autism.

It's funny how when you ask them why they think Pope Francis was "too woke" and request specific examples, they always wound up describing Christ's teachings without a hint of self-awareness.

Just keep in mind: The day will come when America is no longer held hostage by a sociopath, a convicted felon, an arsonist and a vengeful, narcissistic sadist who revels in the pain and suffering of others and builds his fortune on the ruins of public liberty. May it come soon.

Last night was the 250th anniversary of Paul Revere's midnight ride to warn the Minutemen of approaching British troops. I want to take a moment to share an excerpt from the Declaration of Independence's grievances against King George III. Remind you of anyone?

This is known as a “Holy Ghost”

Elon Musk and Donald Trump are effectively cutting Social Security benefits. After Trump promised “not to touch” Social Security, they are making people suffer. It’s wrong — and we’re fighting back.

That would be nice. Or some nice rule 11 sanctions.

If President Trump can wrongly deport a Maryland father to a prison in El Salvador and then defy a 9-0 Supreme Court order to facilitate bringing him home, who’s next? This threatens the rights and freedoms of everyone in the United States.

This is too important not to share: substack.com/home/post/p-...

The U.S. is the only major country on Earth that does not guarantee workers a paid vacation. When a husband, wife & kids are unable to spend any time together on vacation, that is not a family value. It's an attack on everything a family is supposed to stand for. Unacceptable.

I'm calling for an investigation into whether President Trump manipulated the market to benefit his Wall Street donors—all while working people and small businesses paid the price. Did Trump help insiders cash in on his tariff flip-flopping? It sure looks like corruption.

It's almost impossible to imagine, after the first Trump administration, but do we have the stupidest, lying Press Secretary in history?

I'm struggling to understand the mental gymnastics needed for someone to admire and support both Pope Francis and Donald Trump at the same time. Catholics for Trump are today's poster children for cognitive dissonance.

"Every gun that is made, every warship launched, every rocket fired signifies, in the final sense, a theft from those who hunger and are not fed, those who are cold and are not clothed." -Dwight D. Eisenhower, 1953

Republicans in Congress aren't holding Donald Trump accountable. So @raskin.house.gov and I are. Tune in: www.youtube.com/live/ElEVeJA...

We wouldn’t be here if SCOTUS had allowed the January 6th trial to go forward as scheduled.
