Republican Rep. Maria Salazar ran on securing the border and funding ICE, then voted to give the agency billions. Now she is running ads telling President Trump that enforcement has gone too far. @BiancaForTexas is right to call that out. Hispanic voters who backed Trump did not ask for a midterm lecture against the policy they just elected.

Living From, Not For What changes when you stop trying to become someone and start living as who you already are? That single shift has reshaped my faith more than almost anything else. The Bible says followers of Jesus are “chosen,” “adopted,” and “a chosen people… God’s special possession.” These aren’t goals to achieve. They’re realities to step into. Paul tells the Colossians, “Set your hearts on things above… For you died, and your life is now hidden with Christ in God.” In other words: build your daily life on who you now are in Christ, not on who you’re scared you still might be. Living from your identity changes the small things. You forgive more freely, because you’ve been forgiven. You take risks for God, because your worth isn’t on the line. You serve, not to be accepted, but because you already are. Over these five days we’ve seen it: new, free, loved, righteous, chosen. None of it earned. All of it given. So here’s the invitation. Stop performing for an identity you already have. Start living from it. You are who God says you are. Let that be the ground you stand on today and every day after. Reflection Which part of your new identity — new, free, loved, righteous, chosen — do you most need to live from this week? Next Step Choose one of those five words, write it somewhere you’ll see it daily, and live this week as if it’s true. It is. Prayer God, thank You for the new identity You’ve given me in Jesus. Help me live from it with confidence, freedom, and joy.

It’s all in the family! @AbdulElSayed’s mom worked for a terror organization that gave direct financial support to Osama bin Laden, the Taliban, and Hamas jihadists! His father-in-law is among the top leaders of the terrorist Muslim Brotherhood organization, and his sister @emanabdelhadi openly calls for the destruction of the United States! They all believe, as their dear friend @hasanthehun does, that America deserved 9/11, Sharia law should rule the U.S., and Israel should be wiped off the planet!

Deploying 1,000 federal election monitors to supervise the midterm elections with a special focus on blue states is exactly what’s needed! Thank you @HarmeetKDhillon and @realDonaldTrump for restoring our election integrity!

Watch these Flying Gurnards open their wing-like pectoral fins on the ocean floor. The striking blue spots and edges help with display and defense as they forage on sandy bottoms.

Wow, they’re using AI in schools and if you didn’t think indoctrination is bad enough, these kids are never gonna know the real truth because of ai has taken over and will continue to indoctrinate kids. This is just terrible.

Retired firefighter stopped to save a man's life, ended up in cuffs for his efforts. Lawsuit followed. with a dislocated shoulder. ​ Santa Paula, California, retired Oxnard firefighter Joseph Garces, 27-year veteran of the fire service was driving his Jeep when he spotted a man lying on the ground in commercial parking lot. ​Garces immediately pulled over to render aid. Garces jumped into action: ( not seen in the video) • Administered emergency CPR • Safely removed a firearm from the victim's waistband and secured it inside his own vehicle to neutralize any immediate threat • Used a pocketknife to cut away the victim’s clothing to treat the injuries The video starts when first responders from the Santa Paula Police Department arrived, Garces stood by calmly to brief them on the situation, pointing out where he had secured the weapon and detailing what he saw. ​However, the encounter quickly escalated when Santa Paula Detective Chris Rivera arrived on scene. ​Instead of coordinating with the other officers already interviewing Garces, Detective Rivera aggressively ordered Garces out of the crime scene perimeter. Garces complied and began moving away, but verbally expressed his frustration at how he was being treated after saving a man’s life. ​As Garces reached the perimeter, Detective Rivera followed him and placed a hand on his shoulder. When Garces pulled his arm away and told the detective not to touch him, Detective Rivera immediately seized Garces' right arm behind his back. ​Garces was placed in handcuffs and locked in the back of a patrol car for roughly 15 minutes before being uncuffed and released without any charges. ​Shortly after his release and the body cam ended, Garces had to be transported to Community Memorial Hospital via ambulance. The force used during the detention resulted in an injury: a dislocated shoulder and a torn labrum requiring surgical repair. ​The victim Garces helped, Samir Salgado, ultimately survived the attack, and police later arrested and charged the suspect with attempted murder. ​Garces filed a federal civil rights lawsuit against Detective Rivera and the City of Santa Paula, alleging excessive force and constitutional violations. While a federal judge initially granted qualified immunity on the federal excessive force claim regarding the specific control hold, state law claims moved forward, leading the City of Santa Paula to reach a confidential settlement with Garces. ​A classic example of how ego, poor communication, and unnecessary escalation can turn a life-saving rescue into a costly civil rights incident. Another case where the citizens pay the bill for an out of hand officer.

Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent announced new rules that stop illegal immigrants from collecting four major refundable tax credits. The changes apply to the adoption child American opportunity and earned income tax credits so only US citizens nationals and qualified aliens can receive them. The move is expected to save taxpayers about 3 billion dollars. American tax dollars should go to Americans not people who are here illegally. This is a long overdue fix.

A single bee can produce 1/12th of a teaspoon of honey in its lifetime. 683 bees fly roughly 32,550 miles to gather 5.93 lbs of nectar from about 1,185,000 flowers in order to make one 9.5 oz. jar of honey. Use it. It's nature's healing medicine!

🚨 Jake Lang addressed the Dearborn City Council on Tuesday night, August 18, 2026, amid intense clashes outside the relocated meeting at the Henry Ford Centennial Library. Lang and Detroit Pastor Lorenzo Sewell heavily promoted an anti-Islam "Christian Crusader March" ahead of the session, prompting a massive law enforcement response ponse and forcing city officials to move the council meeting to the larger library venue for safety. Tense confrontations erupted on the grounds as demonstrators pushed toward the building and knocked down police barricades, forcing officers to deploy crowd-control measures to restore order.

🔲 When anyone in Washington can use their platform for years to say anything they want as well as criticize a President that is working for the American people, Oh... Then we find out all of the corruption they have been involved in and how they are using their office to exploit the American people. A sitting president should able let the American people know the truth without having to make a harsh truth seem smaller than it really is. Free speech runs both ways

Give your burdens to the Lord, and He will take care of you... Psalm 55:22 Dear Lord, Thank you for taking care of me and my loved ones. I am so blessed to be able to lean on you and give you all my worries so that I can experience your perfect peace during challenging times.
