I was present when Charlie Kirk was assassinated. I heard the gunshot and witnessed an act of pure evil that day. My emotions have ranged from deep sadness to intense anger. My heart breaks thinking of his wife and their two young children—please pray for them. And may Charlie rest in peace.

This is where Charlie Kirk was tragically taken from us one year ago. I’ve walked by this quad at UVU dozens of times since then and still can’t believe it happened. May God bless his family, and may Charlie rest in peace.

If you are a patriotic American like me, you are probably appalled by what some heinous leakers and the Washington Post did today regarding highly classified military information about the war in Iran. They have put our troops at risk, but they don't care so long as they can "get" the President and the Secretary of War. Despicable. Please read and share my article below.

Every year our neighborhood puts on a Fourth of July breakfast and kids bike parade to celebrate. This year felt particularly special. Happy 250th and God bless America!

For reasons I don't want to go into at the moment, I have lately been doing a lot of thinking about the American way of war. It dawned on me that the social justice imperatives of the pre-Trump Pentagon have much in common with the pre-WWI, mystical, French doctrine of “élan.” Thanks to Pete Hegseth, however, we will not need to fight WWIII to learn that Social Justice Warfare is a failure. My article explains. (Also, while my hyperlinks usually serve to provide a sort of footnoting of source material, these hyperlinks include a bunch of Easter eggs--enjoy.)

Today is our nations Memorial Day. Enjoy your day and take a moment to remember the true meaning of this day. A day to pay our respects to all those who have given their lives in our country's defense. God bless these brave heroes and their families.

Home, again! Mission complete. I hope we glorified God, humanity, our families and our terrific teams a @NASA and @csa_asc. Time to share the good news!

“But the curse of every ancient civilization was that its men in the end became unable to fight. Materialism, luxury, safety, even sometimes an almost modern sentimentality, weakened the fibre of each civilized race in turn; each became in the end a nation of pacifists, and then each was trodden under foot by some ruder people that had kept that virile fighting power the lack of which makes all other virtues useless and sometimes even harmful.” -Teddy Roosevelt

“He is not here: for he is risen⁠, as he said. Come, see the place where the Lord lay.” Matthew 28:6 May Jesus Christ’s message of peace and redemption fill the earth and bring hope to all.

20 years fighting for free speech, election integrity and against COVID mandates. Now she's reshaping the DOJ as Assistant AG for Civil Rights. When the rule of law is under pressure, you need someone battle-tested. @HarmeetKDhillon was built for this. Next AG.

🔥MRS. DR. PUBLIUS ALERT🔥 I am an ardent advocate of our American birthright, especially free speech. In our public squares, every American citizen has a voice - a right to be heard even if you disagree with other people’s opinions/viewpoints and they disagree with you. Law abiding citizens can exercise that right. That’s a good thing - it is quintessentially American. That’s not the case in most countries around the world, even European countries. However, two American Olympians very publicly aired “their” criticisms of the country they volunteered to represent - pontificating about their political views - that’s something different and well, it ignited a firestorm. These two incompetent malcontents squandered a priceless gift. What gift you might ask? When in their lifetime will they have another opportunity to represent our whole country (even people with whom they disagree) and stand in the sun and embody their dream? How many people ever get to realize their dream? On the contrary, their actions were shamefully self-serving and frankly ignorant. They presumably earned a spot on the US Olympic team to participate in the Winter Games because of their highly honed skill set and talents in their individual sport, not their political commentary. It's like they don’t know how to behave when they are away from home - most people try to put their best foot forward and stay positive in someone else’s home. This wasn’t the time or place to air these grievances or concerns because this isn’t the purpose of the Winter Games. These two probably don’t even realize they actually violated an implied trust with the American people and their teammates. Americans take an oath to defend the Constitution when they join the military because they are representing all US citizens whether they agree with someone’s political views or not. While this isn’t the case with participating on the US Olympic team - perhaps the US Olympic Committee should review its charter and outline in their bylaws the responsibilities and expectations of the members of Team USA. This American was willing to support and cheer for these two young people as they challenged the world’s best competitors in their individual sport not because of their political views but because of their dream to be a Olympian and foster goodwill amongst nations. What did they do - they made their political opinions the talking point not competing for an Olympic medal. Do that on your own time! In the real world, if you as an employee represent a corporation at a corporate event; if you wear the company logo on your clothing; if you actively engage with other companies from around the world at this event, then it isn’t about you. Your company didn’t hire you to represent your interests - they hired you to represent theirs. Team USA is representing all of us - the American people. You have an opportunity to shine for your country and to change the world by inspiring others to pursue their dreams - that’s the gift of the Olympic Games and don't selfishly exploit your platform. And one more thing, while these two were proudly denigrating our country on the world’s stage - I'd like for them to please name ONE country with more freedoms for its citizens than the USA. Where on this planet is this utopia of perfect harmony they seem to believe exists. Let me give you a hint - it doesn’t exist. In different forum truthfully highlight these perceived injustices - open it up for debate instead of whining in a setting where your views can’t to be challenged. You aren’t even grateful for rights, privileges, and rich cultural heritage you were born into by sheer chance. You chose the wrong platform, wrong time, wrong message, wrong forum - next time remain focused on the purpose. Go TEAM USA!

Yes, this is a World Book Encyclopedia (1976) being used by my daughter to look up stuff about Texas. This may actually be one of my proudest moments as a parent.

This goes hard Share if you agree

The testimony of former Jack Smith before Congress confirmed the worst assessments of his view of free speech. The only thing more chilling than his lack of knowledge of constitutional doctrine is his contempt for constitutional values... jonathanturley.org/2026/01/1…

Imagine its January 9, 1776. You head down to a print shop with two shillings in your pocket You want to buy a copy of Common Sense Published anonymously, Common Sense did something radical – it asked ordinary Americans to simply trust what they already felt.

THOSE COUGS ARE CRAZY GOOD 🤪 #Big12FB | @BYUfootball

Who can forget this hilarious moment between Novak Djokovic and an Italian reporter? Novak in an Italian accent: “Not too bad.” 🤣

Without freedom of speech, the West will fall
