It is absolutely disgraceful to threaten young Americans for participating in politics and serving their country.

“Students” has become the left’s new word for “North African Fighting Age Muslim Illegal Men.”
Maybe their wildest one yet.

Heavenly Father,
With my whole heart, I praise You. Blessed are You, O Lord! Teach me Your statutes and incline my heart to Your testimonies. Your Word is a lamp unto my feet and a light unto my path. Your truth is eternal, Your judgments are righteous, and Your faithfulness endures through every generation.
Lord, I rejoice in Your promises more than in great riches. Your commandments are not burdens but blessings. Your precepts give wisdom, Your statutes bring understanding, and Your truth brings freedom. You are my portion, my refuge, and my strength. Whom have I in heaven but You, and what greater treasure could I desire than Your presence?
Let my soul continually praise You, even when my circumstances tempt me to complain. When my heart grows weary, strengthen me according to Your Word. When my thoughts become troubled, establish me in Your peace. When the world grows dark, remind me that Your truth has never lost its light.
Great peace belongs to those who love Your law. Let that peace govern my heart today. Open my eyes to behold wondrous things from Your Word. Give me a hunger for righteousness, a love for obedience, and a heart that delights in Your will.
May my lips overflow with praise, my life testify to Your goodness, and my every step bring glory to Your name.
You are good, and You do good. Your Word is forever settled in heaven. Let everything within me rise up and bless Your holy name!
In the mighty name of Jesus Christ, Amen.

As a former Fellow at @UChicago’s @UChiPolitics and someone who had the privilege of serving in the Trump White House twice, I find this deeply troubling.
The Institute of Politics should be a place where young people are encouraged to engage in public service, regardless of political affiliation.
The suggestion that political prosecutions should serve as a warning to the next generation of conservatives is the exact opposite of what an institution dedicated to civic engagement should stand for.
We should be inspiring the next generation to serve their country, not intimidating them into silence.

🚨 WOW: Elon Musk just announced he'll give one of his OWN SpaceX shares to every kid in America next year.
That's about 73 MILLION kids, and roughly $10.7 BILLION out of his own pocket at Friday's price, per Moneycontrol.
And he says this is "the first of many."
The left spent years telling you billionaires never give anything back.
This one just made an entire generation of American kids shareholders in the company taking us to MARS.
That's how you build an ownership society.
AMAZING.

O Lord, my God, how great is Your name in all the earth!
Before the mountains were formed, You were God. Before the seas found their boundaries, Your throne was established. Before my first breath, You knew my name, and before my feet found their way, Your mercy had already gone before me.
Who is like You, O Lord? Who can measure Your wisdom or exhaust Your goodness? The heavens declare Your glory, the thunder announces Your power, and the morning light bears witness to Your faithfulness.
Yet You, who command the stars, incline Your ear to the whisper of Your children.
When my strength was gone, You sustained me. When my heart was troubled, You became my peace. When darkness surrounded me, Your Word was a lamp beneath my feet, and Your presence was the light that darkness could not overcome.
I will praise You, not only for what Your hands have given, but for who You are.
For You are holy when the world is corrupt. You are faithful when men are faithless. You are righteous when justice is forgotten, and You are merciful when sinners cry out for grace.
Your goodness is not diminished by my suffering, nor is Your sovereignty shaken by the storms of this life.
Though the earth trembles, You remain my refuge. Though kingdoms rise and fall, Your throne endures forever. Though my flesh grows weary, Your strength is made perfect in weakness.
Let my mouth never grow silent with praise. Let my heart never become so familiar with Your blessings that I forget the One from whom they flow.
I will bless You in the morning when hope is renewed. I will worship You in the evening when the burdens of the day are laid down. In the midnight hour, when answers are few and tears are many, I will still declare that You are good.
For Your steadfast love is better than life, Your mercy is new every morning, and Your faithfulness reaches beyond the heavens.
Let everything within me magnify the Lord!
Let my victories bring You glory, my trials deepen my trust, my words proclaim Your truth, and my days bear witness to Your grace.
And when my earthly song is finished, when my final breath has passed from these lips, let my praise continue in the presence of the One who redeemed my soul.
For You alone are worthy.
You were worthy yesterday. You are worthy today. You shall be worthy throughout all generations.
Blessed be the name of the Lord, from everlasting to everlasting!
Amen.

The Naturalization Act of 1795 added a requirement that applicants for citizenship declare an intention to renounce foreign allegiance and, at naturalization, “absolutely and entirely renounce and abjure all allegiance and fidelity to any foreign prince, potentate, state, or sovereignty.”

If you have ever wondered why leftists, Democrats, LGBTQ people, and feminists decided to side with Muslims…
The answer is very simple:
Their hatred for the Christian West is greater than their fear (or dislike of) of Islam.
They are using whatever they can get their hands on as a battering ram against Christianity and the West.

Honestly, Elon Musk is the only pioneer left who makes you truly inspired & amazed by innovation. Landing rockets backwards, driving cars upside down...it feels like our great American pioneer spirit went dormant since the Apollo missions, and we've felt stuck in time, but he's reawakened it...and for the first time in decades people are actually asking "what else is possible?" instead of this gloomy malaise of stagnation and planned obsolescence. Just the dumbest thing imaginable to bet against this guy.

“I have often said during my 20 years as a bishop that I am not interested in a private education for the privileged as an apostolate of the Church. The Archdiocese of Portland should not be operating schools whose institutional priorities and plans are dominated by a secular, utilitarian vision of academic excellence and great sports programs, while remaining inaccessible to so many of our families because of high tuition costs. To do so would be wholly inconsistent with the history and purpose of Catholic education. Our first job is not to prepare children eventually to get into a great college or university, but to help them get into heaven!”

Heavenly Father,
Before I ask You to bless my plans today, I ask You to order my steps. Before I ask You to change my circumstances, I ask You to examine my heart.
Your Word says that the steps of a righteous man are ordered by the Lord (Psalm 37:23). So today, lead me where You want me to go, keep me from places I do not belong, and give me the wisdom to recognize the difference.
Guard my mouth from speaking foolishly, my mind from entertaining fear, and my heart from becoming hardened by the troubles of this world.
Lord, help me not to confuse being busy with being fruitful, being successful with being faithful, or being comfortable with being obedient.
Give me the courage to stand for truth, the humility to receive correction, and the grace to love people who are difficult to love.
When I am tempted to worry, remind me that You are sovereign. When I grow weary, renew my strength. When I face opposition, remind me that no weapon formed against me shall prosper according to Your purposes.
And Father, let me not become so consumed with what I want You to do for me that I forget what You desire to do through me.
Make me useful for Your kingdom today. Let my words bring life, my actions reflect Christ, and my decisions honor Your name.
Above all, Lord, don’t just give me a good day. Make me faithful with the day You’ve given me.
In the mighty name of Jesus Christ,
Amen.

From a Cornell student - this is exactly right. The response from sorority members on campus has been absolutely furious.
If fraternities were actually perceived by the women who frequent them as citadels of sexual predation, one might reasonably expect their restriction to be greeted with relief.
One could say that Cornell is infantilizing its female students. President Michael Kotlikoff, following up on his maudlin video performance of Oct. 3, has just banned all fraternity social events for the remainder of the 2026-2027 academic year. Doing so is necessary, Kotlikoff said, to strengthen campus safety.
This measure is wildly overinclusive. The number of “sexual assaults” (we will merely bracket the term for the moment) that would have come out of the dozens of future frat gatherings is minute to non-existent. The more efficient measure would have been to let females evaluate the risk of attending, and if they decide the risk is too high, boycott the parties. Or don’t show up roaring drunk. Or don’t get into bed with a guy whom you have no deep relationship with. Or don’t get into bed with a guy at all, unless you are engaged or, god forbid, married.
But Kotlikoff is implicitly right about one thing: He is presiding over a bunch of helpless, nauseatingly self-pitying co-eds who eschew all personal agency and who thus appear to need Cornell’s intercession. Cornell’s females expect everyone other than themselves to safeguard them.

NEW: Following the revelation of his lung cancer diagnosis last night, Pope Leo's doctors have issued brief details of his recovery today ---
“This morning, the Holy Father underwent the blood tests and chest X-ray scheduled following the surgery.
The results confirm a normal postoperative course: the values are within the normal range for the type of surgery performed.
The Holy Father underwent respiratory physical therapy and has begun walking around his room. He has resumed a regular diet, having had breakfast and lunch.
His recovery is proceeding as expected.”

Heavenly Father,
Give us the courage to stand when others bow, to speak truth when silence is easier, and to obey You when obedience comes at a cost. Remove the fear of man from our hearts and replace it with a holy reverence for You. Like the apostles in Acts 4:29, grant us boldness to proclaim Your Word without compromise.
Let our confidence come not from our own strength, but from the power of Your Spirit. Make us fearless in faith, humble in spirit, and unwavering in conviction. May we never be ashamed of the gospel, never intimidated by opposition, and never forget that if You are for us, no one can stand against us.
In the mighty name of Jesus, Amen.
