Though the Walk for Peace Buddhist monks will soon return to Texas, I know that their mission for lasting peace continues. It’s on all of us – from governors and local elected officials to national leaders and community voices – to carry on their mission in every step that... show more

Peace isn’t just a journey for monks. It’s a responsibility for all of us. Every step toward understanding and unity counts. ✌️🌏💛

Thank you Governor for hosting. I was grateful to see them at the stadium this morning. So many comments show that people have missed the message of peace shared by the monks 😔

Really. Clean up the Millons of Gallons of Shit that just spilled into the Potomac. And you are talking about Monks? Are you completely out of your fucking mind. I'm sure the monk would not support the shit dump.

Attention MD employers, Wes Moore and the @mddems love higher taxes. Beginning January 1, 2026, MD law now requires the DOL to collect a new 0.15% administrative fee from employers taxable wage base.

I am happy to see that our @POTUS recognizes how much these monks have done for our country. Please meet with them and thank them for their efforts. I supported you, @POTUS, because I believe you are a president of peace. I sincerely hope you will meet with them soon.

Maryland Governor Wes Moore…..even the Buddhist monks can’t save you from yourself. 🔥 Not only did Maryland Gov. Wes Moore lie about a Bronze Star, his Baltimore origins, a fictional football Hall of Fame introduction and his academic credentials, but a new report also suggests he fabricated a story about his great-grandfather fleeing the KKK. 🔥 The report, by the Washington Free Beacon, centered on Moore's repeated claim that his maternal great-grandfather, Rev. Josiah Johnson Thomas, fled South Carolina for Jamaica after narrowly escaping a lynching by the KKK in the 1920's. 🔥 However, the Free Beacon reported that the “straight out of Hollywood" story appears to be "false" as it is "flatly contradicted by historical records."

When monks leave their monasteries to walk for peace, it's not symbolic, it's a warning‼️ They carry nothing but what's given to them‼️ The fact that Buddhist monks are walking for peace in America should make us all pause‼️ This is serious‼️

On Saturday, July 4, 2026, the people of Alapere in Ketu, Agboyi-Ketu LCDA, Lagos State, took a powerful stand for peace as they came out in unity for a peace walk against cultism, drvg abuse, and other crimes affecting their community. We hope this effort marks the beginning of lasting peace in the area and that everyone will continue to work together to ensure that the goals of the peace walk are achieved. We also encourage other communities facing similar challenges to emulate this process, rise together and take ownership of their future in order to make Nigeria a better place. Reject Violence. Reject Crime. Reject Cultism.

On the day that marks the end of a month of sacrifice, it was fitting that we joined those who sacrifice to keep us safe at the COAS Sallah Luncheon for Troops in the Field of 2 Division Area of Responsibility in Igbeti, Olorunsogo LGA. As I said in my remarks, their welfare is our shared responsibility and we will continue to do all we can to support them to carry out their duties. May their sacrifices never be in vain and may Nigeria continue to find peace through their service to the nation.

When monks leave their monasteries to walk for peace, it's not only symbolic, it's a warning. They don't seek attention. They don't ask for power. They walk only when the world is out of balance. They carry nothing but what's given to them. This isn't a protest. It's a prayer in motion. The fact that Buddhist monks are walking for peace in America should make us all pause. This is serious, rare, & it matters. People need to quietly stand and watch to take it in. Understand the significance. They’ve never walked in the US.

Just before the prayer vigil for peace and the recitation of the Holy Rosary began in St. Peter’s Basilica, Pope Leo XIV made a surprise appearance in St. Peter’s Square to greet and bless the faithful who were unable to enter the Basilica. He thanked them for their presence, called on everyone to become “bearers of peace,” and said that, in the light of the Risen Christ, a new peace is possible — one that unites all peoples as brothers and sisters. Entrusting the crowd and their loved ones to God’s care, he concluded by invoking Mary, Queen of Peace.

🚨 NOW — SECWAR PETE HEGSETH: "War, in this context and in pursuit of peace, is necessary, which is why each day on bended knee we continue to appeal to heaven, to almighty God's providence, to watch over and give special skill and confidence to our leaders and to our warriors." "To those warriors who this nation prays for every single day, I hear from all of you out there, who pray for them every day, stay on bended knee and pray for them. I continue to say to them, Godspeed, may the Lord bless you and keep you and keep going." "We will stop at nothing to win. War is hell, war is chaos, and as we saw yesterday with the tragic crash of our KC-135 tanker, bad things can happen. American heroes, all of them." "And as I have with all of them, as we have, we will greet those heroes at Dover, and their sacrifice will only recommit us to the resolve of this mission."
