In 2007, when Chuck Norris visited Marines in Western Iraq, he demanded to get away from large bases and instead visit the small FOBs and COPs. MNF-W said it would be too dangerous, but Norris insisted and in the end, got his way. I'm forever grateful for the example he set, and this awesome choke hold.

For all the economic voters who punished Republicans, just remember: (1) Poverty and child poverty are at an all time low. (2) GDP per capita is at an all time high. (3) The murder rate is lowest recorded. (4) Real median income is up to an all-time high of $88,000. (5) U.S. crude output is at an all time high. Natural gas production also at an all time high. The Dems promised free everything. We'll see which track pulls more Americans up. But you already know.

Saint Benedict of Nursia is widely considered the man who preserved Western Civilization after the fall of Rome. Today may be a great day to look to the example of one of Europe’s greatest Saints. After the political collapse of Rome, Benedict began founding monasteries across Italy laying the social and spiritual groundwork for medieval Christendom. As Roman government and infrastructure were wiped away by anarchy and barbarism, Benedictine monasteries became safe havens that copied, stored, and protected sacred texts, classical literature, and ancient wisdom. When the outlook was dire and civilization seemed to be failing, he focused on God and built redoubts of Western thought around a simple saying, “Ora et labora” (prayer and work). Benedictine monks began teaching everything from agriculture to architecture and brewing across Europe. Through the years, the Benedictine Order produced over 57,000 known saints and 35 popes, of whom 17 are Saints or Blesseds. Saint Benedict of Nursia, pray for us today and always.

Everybody else gets to vote for fun stuff but all we get in Virginia is $1170 billion in county bond questions

Last year in Virginia, I had to go out and cast a futile vote against an AG candidate who said he wanted his political opponents’ kids to die. This year I have to go vote against enshrining abortion on demand in the state constitution. Hard not to get discouraged these days.

So much is at stake this Election Day, most of all the lives of unborn babies. @BishopBurbidge makes a powerful case against Virginia's proposed constitutional amendment on abortion. "Ballot Question 1 would create a virtually unfettered legal right to abortion for anyone, even minors, up to the moment of birth." What you need to know before you vote: ❌ Creates a sweeping constitutional right to abortion ❌ Allows abortion through all stages of pregnancy ❌ Weakens parental rights for minors as young as 13 ❌ Protects human traffickers who aid or assist abortions ❌ Undermines health and safety safeguards Thanks to @arlingtonchurch for leading the CATHOLICS VOTE NO campaign to educate Virginia voters. dailysignal.com/2026/11/02/v…

He backed defunding the police, wants to eliminate private health insurance, supports raising everyone’s taxes, and opposes investment in fossil fuel infrastructure—including the continued transportation of oil through pipelines.

I enjoy that it gets dark earlier The pressure to always be doing something subsides. Relaxing in front of the fire feels cozy. Warm, hearty meals inside are satisfying. There is a charm to the cold mixed with the dark. This “dark” period allows us to appreciate the spring and summer more Quit complaining and lean in folks

Yes. That’s the argument 🤷🏻‍♀️

Remember when Liz Cheney was a profile in courage and a hero for "putting country over party?" Good times.

Nothing, not even this, will diminish my love for candy corn. theatlantic.com/science/2026…

My latest for @WSJFreeEx: Abdul El-Sayed won’t need a security clearance to view classified information if elected to the Senate. But if he were up for a job requiring one, his background check would raise a lot of red flags, from his parents’ associations with shady organizations to his own past support for Muslim Brotherhood leader Mohamed Morsi.

BREAKING: A new study finds that one-third of all accounts reposting support for Abdul El-Sayed in Michigan’s Senate race are based overseas. You are being manipulated.

Lula’s corruption is obvious. His re-election signals a worsening situation in Brazil as a free state. But aside from that, he is also an ally to just about every anti-American regime and effort in the world. Including by giving the CCP a clearer foothold into the Americas.

Preach. And who is covering the upper levels? This is what happens when everyone in an army thinks they are raiding a single point in a permissive urban environment or watch too many movies involving SWAT tactics

5-foot-3 and an attitude.
