Chickens eat ticks, lay fresh eggs, fertilize the soil, and apparently carve pumpkins, too. 🐓🎃 Nature’s little overachievers.
New chicken skill unlocked: pumpkin carving.

Brandon Gill, Riley Moore, Eric Schmitt, JD Vance…archetypes for the future of the party
SCOOP: Some House Freedom Caucus members have privately discussed kicking Rep. Brandon Gill out of the group "He's not really in the Freedom Caucus. He's just using it for conservative bonafides," one HFC member told @axios Gill's bid to chair Oversight is fueling resentment beyond HFC, with Republicans questioning whether viral hearing moments qualify him to lead the committee But Gill also has powerful defenders, including Whip Tom Emmer, who called him "the future of our party." axios.com/2026/10/22/texas-b…

I’m excited to announce that former Deputy National Security Advisor to President Trump and National Security Advisor to the Vice President Andy Baker is joining American Moment. Andy helped build the President’s America First foreign policy. After spending 13 years as a Foreign Service officer in the State Department, he joined JD Vance’s Senate team as his national security advisor. Andy is not just right on the issues; he is smart and extremely skillful. He followed JD Vance to the White House where he served Vice President Vance as his National Security Adviser and President Trump as his Deputy National Security Adviser. We founded American Moment in 2021 on the hopes that the issues upon which President Trump ran would outlast his presidency in the Republican Party. I met Andy when he joined JD’s Senate office, and have been impressed again and again that someone with his commitment to this country’s interest was in the fight with us to re-establish American interests abroad. Andy has since become a friend of American Moment. His wife and children have gotten to know our team. His children are a testament to his and his wife’s care and steadfastness. He has spent time investing into our Fellows, advising and encouraging them in their careers in government. They are doing the hard, unglamorous work to serve President Trump and have told me that they feel stronger knowing that Andy Baker is in their corner. Those of you who have worked with Andy know that he dedicates his heart, mind, and soul to anything in his way. This is the biggest hire American Moment has made so far, and we are honored Andy has chosen to dedicate his time and talent to our people. The road ahead requires planning and support both in and outside of government. We’re excited that Andy has decided to take his next step with us.
🚨 NEW: American Moment is proud to welcome Andy Baker as Senior Advisor Baker previously served as Deputy National Security Advisor to President Trump and National Security Advisor to Vice President Vance. “Andy is a luminary in the conservative movement and is leading the charge on creating a new class of foreign policy staffers. We’re thrilled to have him hang his hat with American Moment.” — CEO @NickSolheim

Half the town is trying to smear every GOP hill staffer as a groyper and the other half is trying to put them in jail. The kids, though? They're doing just fine.
“A few thousand experienced and competent staffers are the bedrock of any political movement.” Ten years ago, MAGA had no one in Washington D.C. except President Trump. Today, there are thousands. Ten years from now there will be thousands more. Will you be one of them? semafor.com/article/10/21/20…

Ireland: housing crisis, record homelessness, unaffordable rent, and strained services from mass immigration. The government’s response? An ad telling granny and grandad they need “consent” before hugging their grandkids.

This is a husband appreciation post. 37 weeks pregnant with baby Ath #4, exhausted, and feeling approximately the size of a whale. Meanwhile, my husband is taking care of our boys, picking up my slack, and making sure I can rest. Real men don’t just provide for their families, they show up for them. And watching him be the best dad makes me love him even more. ❤️

The West was not built on moral neutrality. It was built by people who believed truth existed, God mattered, and human beings possessed dignity that no government can grant or revoke.

Tradwife content makes homesteading look like frolicking through fields in a linen dress. The reality is sometimes it looks like being covered in feathers and turning a mean rooster into Sunday dinner!
