1/5 I was SWATed last night as you can see in these 3 videos. I was in bed, but noticed Ranger, my German shepherd, was on the prowl, his ears up. I heed his instincts. I then saw a flicker of light on my BR door. Ranger went to investigate, I got my gun…..

FLASHBACK Serena Williams tells Letterman: “Men’s & women’s tennis are completely different sports. If I played Andy Murray, I’d lose 6-0, 6-0 in 5 minutes…. It’s true. He would kill me. Men are a lot faster, serve harder, and hit harder. I only want to play girls.”

***USAID - CAIRO 1/14*** Today I paid an unexpected visit to the USAID headquarters in Cairo. The last few years I have shown you how USAID organized, financed, & ran the invasion across our southern border. Today I visited their fortress-like offices in Egypt….

Have you ever noticed iPhone’s subtle censorship via its built-in predictive text? Here I type in the names of several presidents. Guess whose name doesn’t appear? iPhone will readily offer up a word like “transgender,” but not the name of our current president. It’s petty.

3/5 I turned on a light and told them to identify themselves. They did as you’ll see, by I kept my weapon. It de-escalated from there. The officers told me they’d received a call from someone claiming to be in my home and hiding while I shot people. These were good guys…

***USAID - CAIRO CORRUPTION*** By God’s grace, I am now out of Egypt. Let me state at the outset of this report: • An X🧵is insufficient to tell the full story. • There are ongoing complications. So you must read between the lines. Last week in a🧵that got 12 million…

Predictive Text (PT) is supposedly based on your usage. If you type your father’s name enough, for example, PT will suggest it. But no matter how often I type “President Trump,” it only offers Biden, Clinton, & Obama or the word “trump.” This is also true of many other words.

It’s much worse than this. As I reported last year from Cartagena, Colombia, the Biden admin was, via USAID & the UN agency IOM, working with Colombian cartels to run the largest human trafficking op in modern history. Think Somali-gate is big? This is MUCH bigger.

Tim Walz’s Hunting Gaffe Explained:🧵 I’ve done a lot of pheasant hunting. As a high schooler, I made extra $ assisting guides on pheasant hunts: getting the hunters in the field, flushing game for them to easily shoot, and making sure they are safe. And much more since those days. You learn to spot the guys who are a potential danger to themselves and others. Everything about them is new: the shotgun, the gear, the clothing. They look like they’ve just stepped out of an LL Bean catalog. This isn’t meant as a criticism. But if you’re leading the hunt it’s a visual clue that he’s probably new to this and, in his excitement, he went to his local hunting store bought all the gear in an effort to look like one of the guys. It tells you to keep an eye on him and to be ready to offer quiet instruction so as not to embarrass him. I don’t fault Walz for clearly being inexperienced with firearms and hunting. Anyone who is proficient in either had to learn sometime. For most of us, I think, the scorn heaped upon him is due to the fraudulent nature of it all. What VP candidate takes a day off to go hunting? Well, they don’t unless they see it as a photo op. Dems realize Americans think Walz is a beta male weirdo, so some campaign genius said, “I got it! He’ll go hunting! He’ll look manly!” With the exception of “The Natural,” I generally hate sports movies because the lead actor usually looks like he’s never played sports in his life. Watching Walz handle a shotgun is like watching Keanu Reeves throw a football in “The Replacements.” It’s painful. (Robert Redford was believable as an aging baseball player because he clearly played the game as a boy. Same with Kevin Costner in “For the Love of the Game.”) In this video, Walz appears to be having difficulty loading his shotgun while on a pheasant hunt. He tells the reporter, whose questioning tone suggests she’s not buying any of this, that it’s a Beretta A400. The A400 is a semi-auto shotgun. Many guides don’t allow semi-autos on a hunt because they can’t see at a distance that you’re “safe.” A break-action double-barrel is therefore preferred since they can tell when your gun cannot be fired (be it loaded or not). This is because the barrel is on a hinge that “breaks” open to permit manual loading. And this is very important for safety. I would wager that most accidental shotgun deaths involve semi-autos. This is all the more important in pheasant hunting. Unlike, say, deer hunting where you might sit in a tree all day long by yourself, pheasant hunting is typically done in large groups where the hunters are arranged in a crescent and marched through a field toward “blockers,” that is, hunters who stand still in a line. The idea is to drive the birds into the blockers and force them to flight. Hunting in such close proximity with other hunters can be dangerous for a variety of reasons: the birds fly parallel to the ground at head level, excitable hunters start blasting away at everything that moves or don’t wait for the birds to reach a safe height, accidental discharges, etc. A guide wants to see that your weapon is open and therefore inoperable in all but the hunt. The loading port on the A400 is beneath the weapon near the trigger guard. This type of loading is an acquired skill, and Walz doesn’t have it. (I’ll add that Walz says he bought it for trap shooting. In this he is correct. I wouldn’t want to use an A400 pheasant hunting. It’s not a field gun. It’s heavy. But it’s excellent for clays.) He fumbles around and, sensing he’s making a fool of himself, he appears to stop before he’s managed to get it loaded. As you can see, this carefully choreographed hunt wasn’t so carefully choreographed. It’s become Tim Walz’s Michael Dukakis-in-the-tank moment. It’s also noteworthy that in this gaffe Democrats, for all their faux rage about “toxic masculinity,” unwittingly pay homage to masculinity and its appeal. They do know what it is. They just don’t know how to practice it.

“[Hitler’s] antisemitism is what allowed him to love the German people.” Wow. Were the Jews living in Germany not Germans? And, as I recall, Hitler loved the German people so much that he wanted the whole nation obliterated at the end. Darryl Cooper is an evil charlatan.

My heart is full. In this moment, I saw a decade of work, danger, death, sickness, and obstacles of every kind see their Divine purpose. There are moments where the Lord gives us a glimpse of what He’s doing. This is one of those moments. I am so grateful to the Lord.

This is a Venezuelan woman I interviewed in a dusty barrio north of Mexico City in Nov 2024. She wanted to go home. Listen to what she says about Trump: She hoped he will topple Maduro so that she can go home. Trump’s action in Venezuela will lead to mass self-deportations.

A dear Nigerian brother just sent me this: “What a black Palm Sunday. O Lord, fight for us!” This is his church, his flock. I spoke there, met them. As I did, Muslims surrounded the church, peering in threateningly. What courage these dear Christians have! This is Islam.

This is a Venezuelan family I interviewed living in a garage in a dangerous barrio in Colombia known as Caraquitas. Why? They had fled Maduro’s “socialist paradise” because there were no jobs, no food. They want to go home. Perhaps now they can thanks to President Trump.
