A Maryland man was charged with attempted murder for targeting Trump's budget chief, Russ Vought, fearing a fascist takeover.
Gee, do we think the mainstream media is covering this?
I doubt it.
Colin DeMarco allegedly appeared at the residence last August wearing gloves and a surgical mask.
He's a 26-year-old man facing attempted murder charges after allegedly traveling to the North Virginia home of the Office of Management and Budget Director Russ Vought with the intent to kill him, according to court records and law enforcement sources.
Colin DeMarco was arrested on January 22nd by the Arlington County Police and is charged with multiple offenses.
He's scheduled to appear in court February 23rd.
Court documents identify the intended victim only as RV, described as a presidential appointee.
Sources familiar with the case confirmed the target was Vought.
Ian, does this sound to you that things are heating up?
I mean, how many attempted murder events do we need before?
I mean, do we think something, it's going to take another something horrible happening before.
I mean, can we crack down on this, you know, preemptively, or is it just we have to let it play out?
The office of the CBO is not a particularly high-profile part of the federal government, you know.
So I wonder if this guy has some kind of problem that he sees with the funding of something, like something that a family member was getting that got cut or something like that.
Because again, usually if someone's going to go after a member of the administration, they're going to go after someone that's a little more high-profile just because they want the attention.
You know, the director of the CBO, it's not like most people don't know.
Oh, he's trying to be like a wish.com, Luigi Mangion.
Well, investigators say DeMarco later admitted to going to the residence to confront Vought over Project 2025, a conservative policy initiative associated with the Heritage Foundation.
He denied having a weapon or intending to harm anyone.
Yeah, I mean, there was the left was freaking out over Project 2025.
And if you honestly, like, the stuff in Project 2025, like, I didn't read a whole lot of stuff in it that I didn't like.
Most of it was like pretty boilerplate conservative type stuff.
So I think actually, to Ian's point, like, you know, the way that the media kind of portrays any kind of cuts or any basically any conservative policies, they frame it as if it's the end of the world, that there is some somehow going to attack minorities.
It's somehow motivated by evil as opposed to, you know, motivated by trying to maybe, you know, manage the national debt, balance the budget, those kind of things.
So it could be just a situation of this guy got riled up by the media.
And this really is juxtaposed to what Virginia is trying to pass, those, you know, 20 some-odd bills they tried to pass this past couple of months, last month, right?
And some of these things were like, you know, full-term abortions.
We're not going to have anyone outside the polling places enforcing immigration status.
I mean, they actually are proposing things that are actually evil.
Project 2025 says we're just going to follow the Constitution and the laws that are on the books and make sure we enforce them.
I mean, again, like, like I said, there's nothing that's particularly offensive in Project 2025.
You know, it's pretty boilerplate conservative stuff.
So I'm not sure what it was that he actually had a problem with.
Again, it's a pretty big document.
Like there's a lot of things that they talked about, but it was still just an outline of things that conservatives would like the federal government to do.
They'd like to see the administration do.
It wasn't some kind of guarantee that it was even going to happen by the administration.
Yeah, the most I remember of Project 2025 is mainly just Trump having to denounce it eventually because they were trying to come at him with, but this.
Yeah, because the way the left characterized it was it was, you know, they were going to take away all your rights.
It's going to be, what's that stupid movie they always dress up in the red dresses?
It's going to, you know, throw women under the bus and all of this stuff because it's going to make us a Christian nationalist nation and blah, blah, blah, you know, doing all the fear-mongering stuff.
And obviously that has not come to pass.
It's exceedingly unlikely that it will come to pass because that's not even Donald Trump's, like that, Donald Trump's not that guy.
They want people to think that he's some kind of evangelical or what have you because the evangelicals support him.
But the evangelicals support him largely because he appointed conservatives to the bench and discordists and got Roe versus Wade overturned.
It's not because they're like, man, that guy's got a wholesome family life.
Everyone's aware of Donald Trump's sordid past.
And the evangelicals are looking at him and they're like, well, it's better than trans and the kids.
But I mean, to your point, like, if you look at the stuff that he talks about when he's talking about immigration, these policies that we have now, they were all passed with bipartisan support, right?
And they're the exact same policies that Hillary Clinton, Barack Obama, all the Democrats 15 years ago were like, this is how we're going to deal with illegal immigration.
We're going to build some kind of barrier.
We're going to build a fence.
We're going to do all this stuff.
And then after kind of the, after Barack Obama's first term and woke kind of sensibilities took over the country, that's when it was like, oh, these things are vibrant.
You can't talk about building a barrier.
Oh, no one's illegal on stolen land, and there aren't, there should be no borders in the world.
You should be able to travel freely, blah, blah, blah.
I mean, even Bernie Sanders said, look, the no borders, every illegal immigrant comes.
That's a Koch brothers policy, and I'm against it because it hurts the workers in America.
Like, that was his policy position for the longest time until those two women of color got up on stage and kicked him off of his own stage.
Apparently, the law enforcement officials did, they did find drafted notes referencing a manifesto, a weapon stash, and a document titled Body Disposal Guide.
A search of his search of his iCloud account allegedly revealed references to firearms, including a 357 Magnum Colt revolver, revolver, a partial search of his residence, did not recover weapons, but probably tons of anime.
Just kidding.
Complaint also cites social media and Discord messages in which DeMarco allegedly expressed violent thoughts towards Trump.
Surprise, surprise, and discussed locating Vought's address.
Yep.
And like you said, he reportedly admired Luigi Mangion.
So by definition, these people who are coming out here doing these things, the people who are doing the violence against ICE, they are the actual fascists because we won the popular vote.
Everything that's happened right now is what everyone voted for in majority.
Well, I brought up before, like, I voted for Trump actually this time, particularly because I wasn't going to vote for Kamala Harris and the imperial candidate being without a primary.
But I didn't vote for carte blanche with Trump.
I voted to give him the authority to do the deportations, you know, secure the border.
But if he goes haywire and starts commanding people to massacre dudes on the streets to collect all the, I'm going to speak up against it.
And my point was like, if you can do it without anyone seeing it, without anyone knowing that it's going on, just so long as you're following the law, just so long as you're doing it legally.
But if you can do it without all the bluster and without all the protests and without all the fighting, that's the best option.
But I'm saying if it got to that point where it is The exact opposite to show that something being done in the dead of night is secretly being done and, you know, clearly wrong, but the fact that Trump's doing things in the daytime for everyone to see is way more dangerous for ICE, but it's just, he's not breaking the law.
I read today that JD Vance is heading up an audit in California that he was put ahead of this.
I think at some point you're going to have limited returns in Minneapolis.
I know they've already deported tens of thousands of people out of there, and there will be limited returns.
So I like the strategy of you go into a place, you hit them hard, you hit them fast, you get a lot of people out of there, and then you move somewhere else, you do it somewhere else because we know that it's happening all over the country.
So I like this drop ship bunch of people, get a bunch of work done, go somewhere else.
Don't let them catch up.
Don't let them have enough time to organize and put people together to put up barriers and riots.
In combat too, they'll hit a target and then they'll wait like two hours until everybody comes out, try to start to do the recovery, and then they hit the target again to get everybody.
Minnesota activist Kyle Wagner was arrested and charged with threatening ICE agents.
This is from CBS News.
A Minnesota activist was arrested Thursday and charged with threatening to assault and kill immigrations and customs enforcement agents, the Department of Justice said.
Prosecutors allege that Kyle Wagner 37 shared comments and videos to Facebook and Instagram last month and encouraged his followers to attack federal immigration officers where he called them Gestapo and murderers.
He is expected to make his initial appearance in federal court on Thursday.
Photos were taken on Thursday.
They appear to show Wagner being led out of a residential building in Minneapolis.
I mean, I'm not, I assume everybody in the signal chat would call themselves Antifa.
They would say they're anti-fascists in the broad sense of the term.
Whether or not they would, you know, be going to like meetings, flying the anti-fascist flag, I'm not so sure about that.
But I mean, at the end of the day, if you're in a signal chat with a bunch of people that are Antifa, that call themselves Antifa, likely a whole bunch of communists.
I mean, if you were in a signal chat with a bunch of Nazis that call themselves Nazis, they'd be like, you're a Nazi.
So, you know, you're like, look, man, if you're sitting at the table.
The following day, he allegedly encouraged his followers to, like many of our leftist politicians, harass immigration officers, and we should cripple them.
Anywhere we have an opportunity to get our hands on them, we need to put our hands on them.
Pam Bondi said in a statement that this man allegedly doxed and called for the murder of law enforcement officers, encouraged bloodshed in the streets, and proudly claimed affiliation with the terrorist organization Antiva before going on the run.
But you know what, Adam?
At least he didn't pick up a podium and walk around smiling.
Caroline Levitt said the Trump administration would hold accountable anyone who legally obstructs these law enforcement operations or targets, doxes, or harasses ICE agents.
And you know what?
I think Trump said recently they're going to start making sure all the agents have body cams, which can only help them.
It helps the guy that shot Renee Good ultimately because we could see, oh, well, the car definitely hit him.
I think the difference too between the ICE agents and these people like Wagner here, ICE agents, I don't think they go out, wake up a nine to five and think, I hope I get to kill someone today.
No, forever.
This man woke up on a regular basis.
I hope I get to kill someone and I hope other people kill people.
Protests have broken out in Minnesota in response to Operation Metro Surge.
That sounds like a new energy drink, which the Trump administration launched in December to ramp up immigration efforts, enforcement efforts in the state.
More than 3,000 immigration agents descended on Minneapolis, as we mentioned before.
Borders are announced Wednesday that 700 law enforcement personnel would withdraw from Minnesota.
And these jurors, like, you know, they're going to convict because they're getting doxxed in real time.
I wonder how many of these citizens of Minneapolis are just like, yes, we're definitely with that because we don't want to have our house burnt to the ground.
They saw the same things happen during the BLM riots.
It looks like everybody just exactly like that blockade brought their garbage into, it's right at that corner where the Cup Foods was, which they had to rebrand, which I think was a mistake.
Because it's like, I went there to take a selfie in front of the place.
I'm like, it's not Cup Foods anymore.
They called something else.
But it's everybody.
I guess it started out as a George Floyd Memorial, but everything is like sun bleached and wet.
It's a bunch of like wet old teddy bears and picture frames.
And then it slowly became like just like a memorial for whoever.
I don't know if this has shocked anybody, but trans surgery turns out it's bad.
Did we know this?
Did we have any inkling?
So New York, and this is exciting because this happened in my neck of the woods in Westchester County.
A New York jury awards $2 million to a teen girl who formerly identified as male in a malpractice case.
In what may be the first of many such cases, I hope a New York jury awarded millions to a woman who no longer thinks of herself as a male who underwent a double mastectomy six years ago at age 16.
So this woman began her, I guess, social transition at 15.
Yeah, I think her name is Fox Varian, a woman who no longer thinks of herself as male, underwent double mastectomy six years ago.
And this is going to be the first U.S. malpractice case of its kind to reach a trial verdict.
The jury found a psychologist and a plastic surgeon liable for medical malpractice, which I think they all should be liable for this, in performing and supporting the 2019 breast removal surgery on Varian in order to treat gender dysphoria.
The award includes $1.6 million for past and future pain and suffering and $400,000 for future medical expenses, according to the Epic Times.
And this is out of EWTN news, by the way.
Varian lawyers said she no longer thinks of herself as male and said she sued claiming psychologist Kenneth Einhorn and surgeon Simon Chinkel to meet the standard of care through inadequate psychological evaluation, poor communication between the professionals and insufficient screening before proceeding with the irreversible procedure.
I mean, like are any of these medical professionals who do this, they're all failing to do their jobs, basically.
And nobody should be doing surgery on a minor period.
The case centered on whether the medical team properly assessed her mental health and readiness for gender-affirming surgery, marking a significant development in the growing number of such lawsuits.
The legal team, and it sounds like she's got a good legal team around her.
She said that she felt like she was being bullied.
She felt like it was rushed.
And so that, I mean, that's a big part of the problem: it's not just that kids are saying this stuff because they're reading stuff on the internet or they have their friends that are talking about it or whatever.
There are parents that are like, no, I don't want this to happen to my kid.
I don't think this is a good idea.
And then the kids end up somehow getting to a psychologist or whatever.
And the psychologist is just affirm everything they say because the argument that is made on the left is you have to affirm.
You can't say, well, maybe this is something else.
Maybe this is just an awkward phase or whatever.
You have to affirm the things that they say.
And if you don't, you're going to be, you're going to have people from the LGBT lobby coming down on you like Matt.
With the opium, opiate epidemic with, you know, Sackler family and all this.
But it was about the medical industry converted into treating pain and they had to treat the patient's pain instead of their illness.
So if the patient was like, I'm in pain, I need more medicine, the doctor was obligated then to give them medicine, or they would be committing malpractice for not acquiescing to the patient's pain.
And it's the same kind of thing in the mind state that if this kid's in pain, that's more important than what's right.
I think this is going to send a chill and a shockwave down the spines of many psychologists that will be nowhere near this kind of behavior in the future.
And to Chrissy's point, you know, the idea that they get a patient for life or their drug companies get a patient for life.
You can't just get a surgery and then be like, okay, I'm going to go off on my way and I'm going to be fine.
Like you still need to be on hormone replacements.
You need to be on all kinds of drugs for the rest of your life.
So there's a big incentive from pharmaceutical companies to have these surgeries.
Obviously, the people that are doing the surgeries are making a lot of money.
There are people that are ideologically committed to this.
When we were talking earlier, it's only like about a 10% detransition rate.
And part of the reason for that is because of the ostracization that comes because the lobby, the LGBT groups that people usually associate with when they're trans, they will disown you.
You will get all kinds of crap on, you know, you'll be inundated on Twitter.
People will call you names.
And so there's a lot of pressure to stay.
Even if you're not happy, it doesn't make you happy.
And that's probably part of why suicide is so high.
It's like, I thought this was going to make me happy.
And then when it doesn't, they're like, well, I can't go back because I'm just going to get excoriated on the internet.
So, you know, and another thing we were talking about this morning, the rates of body dysmorphia, so like bulimia and anorexia, they've gone down significantly, whereas trans girls have or trans boys has gone up.
But yeah, like the idea that this isn't body dysmorphia, right?
That it isn't just kids that feel uncomfortable in their body, like to your point earlier.
Like that's clearly what it is.
And the medical industry, which is supposed to take care of people, has jumped on the fact that kids are insecure, they feel awkward, and they're like, oh, we can take advantage of this.
We can capitalize on it.
So it's nefarious and pernicious in multiple ways.
And I think that, first of all, the government should have always been saying, no, we're not going to, this is, this is wrong.
This is that you're not doing this.
The only time that you will tell a person that the solution for your psychological issue is actually changing your body is this.
Like if someone says, I, you know, my hand's not my hand.
If you need any more proof of how demonic this is, look no further than what's been coming out recently in the Epstein files.
They talk specifically about grooming, creating basically trans kids specifically for sick, twisted adult fetishes.
And they, I mean, if you want to do deep dives into that, like they, Epstein cites like specific examples of like, of why we need to create, it's so disgusting and it's so, it's so absolutely demonic.
And I just can't wait for this chapter in human history to be over soon enough.
And the first medical, major medical organization actually comes out against trans surgeries for minors.
This is out of the National Review.
The American Society of Plastic Surgeons released new guidance on Tuesday cautioning physicians against performing gender transition surgeries on minors, marking a significant breakthrough for critics of the procedures who have long called on major medical associations to be transparent about the harms associated with medicalizing gender dysphoric children.
Exactly what we've been talking about.
And so many of these kids just need therapy.
A lot of them have been abused and that's why they hate their parents.
Partially because like the whole woke thing that was going on for the past decade or so, like if you said no, kids don't need to transition, you were called all the bad names.
People really have grown like really, they've been desensitized to words like bigot, racist, sexist, because we've had to.
Because that's been used to bully people into being silent.
And when you're seeing stuff like this, right?
Like you have to speak up and say, look, this is wrong, you know, but most people are not used to being called names and they're not used to the vitriol.
And if you say something, like if you've got a Twitter account, you've got 50 followers or 100 followers and you say something and it gets someone on Reddit notices it.
And the next thing you know, your mentions are full of people, you know, 200 people or whatever calling you all these names.
It seems like everyone in the world is beating you up, whether it be Twitter or Facebook or Instagram or whatever.
If you normally get five comments on a post and you put up a post and there's 200 replies, it seems like so overwhelming.
People aren't used to it.
So it's like it was an effective tactic to just pile on and basically scare people into silence.
And so it's a good thing that people have kind of grown a bit thicker skin.
But it's a learning curve.
People have had to realize that this is not, you're not a bigot for saying, hey, this is wrong.
That it's just like, hey, you have to speak up.
And there are going to be people that are going to call you names and say stuff, but you have to ignore them because it's not true, you know?
And just to make a point here, they're not coming out against it completely.
They're saying for minors.
So back in 2020 and 2021, the AMA launched the National LGBTQ Fellowship Program in 21, providing up to $750,000 grants to academic medical centers to train physicians in transgender affirming care, including cross-sex hormones in pediatric and adolescent patients.
So it's not like they're against this.
So they're trying to make you think they're still on your side.
They have been funding it at three quarters of a million dollar grants for hospitals to do these things for the past four years.
They've not changed their tune.
All they're saying is, oh, it's not popular right now.
But I'm telling you right now, they'll get right back to it the second that we stop talking about it.
So I don't want to give them any credit whatsoever.
In the absence of clear evidence, the AMA agrees with the ASPS that surgical interventions and minors should be generally deferred to adulthood, the statement said.
Other prominent medical groups, including the American Academy of Pediatrics, said on Wednesday that their positions on gender-related surgery for minors remains unchanged.
Guidance from the American Academy of Pediatrics for Health Care for Young People with Gender Dysphoria does not include a blanket recommendation for surgery for minors.
Dr. Andrew Raskin, the group's president, said in a statement, the AAP continues to hold the principle that patients, their families, and their physicians, not politicians, should be the ones to make decisions together about what is the best care for them.
But you know what?
You know who's going to be motivated to make that the money is our physicians.
Yes, and the parents feel like they get steamrolled by, like we were just saying five minutes ago or eight minutes ago, they get to feel like they're getting sped through this.
Like it's a, it's like a it sounds like what they're saying is like, don't let the politicians stop us from making money to stop stop us from transing your kids.
I think it's probably a smaller percentage of the parents who are being steamrolled into this and a larger percentage of them saying, look at me, I'm an ally.
I'm going, I'm so far into my leftist ideology that I will literally sacrifice my child to the cause.
And, you know, I'm not in favor of taking children away from families, but if you're abusing your child in an irreparable way where you are cutting off their bits and pieces, I think you should be harming them for life.
And again, I feel like these, again, it's another place for the TDS to flow, right?
Like, oh, Trump is taking away money.
It's just because, oh, let's go back to that article.
Sorry.
In December, the federal government proposed new rules that would deny federal funding to hospitals that provided medical treatment for trans youth.
High profile hospitals in blue states, including Stanford Medicine and Kaiser Permanente, have stopped providing gender-related surgical procedures to minors, citing funding concerns.
I mean, if that's what it takes, cut that money, yo.
And it took how many people calling up the hospitals, calling up the specific departments, being like, hey, can you, I have a 14-year-old or I have a 16-year-old that wants XYZ surgery.
Even in the states where it's been made illegal, these hospitals, I've seen these phone calls, they'll call and the staff will actually say, you can't get it done here, but I can recommend a place just over state lines.
Finally fired for celebrating Charlie Kirk murder, but now he's begging for donation.
Donations for pets?
Oh, boy.
UCLA finally fired its DEI chief months after the woke administrator publicly celebrated the assassination of Charlie Kirk, but now he's begging.
This seems not like it's not real.
Jonathan Perkins, who is the UCLA Director of Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion, was finally given the axe in a letter on Friday after he gushed that he was glad about the vicious murder of the Turning Point USA founder.
Given the nature of your role as Director of Race and Equity, the university has determined that this conduct significantly undermined trust in your leadership and adversely affected the office's effectiveness and credibility.
The university told him in a termination letter obtained by the LA Times.
According to the letter, it's not clear what took the university so long to make its determination.
Perkins intends to file a lawsuit, of course, challenging his dismissal, claiming he was exercising his right to free speech when he made, you know, when the left celebrates Charlie Kirk's death, it's free speech.
But when Ben Bankus on a comedy club stage makes fun of Renee Goode, well, that's hate speech, and he deserves to have all his shows canceled, clearly.
Okay, so an online group known as the Charlie Kirk Data Foundation out of Axios, an online group known as the Charlie Kirk Data Foundation, is crowdsourcing a database of social media users who purportedly criticized the late conservative activists or celebrated his death.
Why does this matter?
The anonymous organizers say their goal is to clear out left-wing radicals and reshape the rank and file of America's institutions.
Converts and also the number of people going to church every week.
To support this exciting renewal this morning, I'm pleased to announce that on May 17th, 2026, that we're inviting Americans from all across the country to come together on our national mall to pray, to give thanks, and to re-we are going to do something.
I know there's like a carbon copy cut out of what Christians are supposed to think, but that doesn't mean we can't evolve even Christians and see more.
You know, there's more.
There's always going to be a new horizon of ways to see things.
No, I think we're all sinners and without grace, we would all continue to be sinners.
But because God is merciful and did give us his son to die on a cross to grant us grace to help us, I think that no matter what we do afterwards, it doesn't change who Christ is.
Christ is the Son of God and he gave us grace and he saved us.
And I think that's, I don't know, it seems to be maybe Christians as a whole, it is, it's so easy to like grandstand.
But I know that that like puts a lot of people off of it because I think if someone feels judged, maybe by somebody in the Christian or Catholic community, they're like, that's going to make them kind of pull away a little bit.
But I think this is great, what Trump is saying here.
I think it's, we were a Christian nation.
We were founded under certain values.
And when, I don't know, you have millions of Muslims kind of infiltrating your country.
We used to think that it was secularists that kind of came first, right?
They kind of made the secularists kind of really pushed the Christians out of the center of the country, right?
Because they would say, oh, you know, especially in the 90s, there was so many people that looked at Christians as bad because of people like the Catholic Church's.
Well, because of the Catholic Church's scandals, because the Pope wasn't, you know, condemning the priests that were actually, you know, abusing kids.
Yeah, they were abusing kids and it went not just the cardinals, but it went all the way up to the Pope.
And that really gave Catholicism a bad name.
And then you had people like Jimmy, was it Jimmy Swaggart?
Was the guy that was cheating on his wife or something like that?
He was a pre, was it?
Yeah, it was Jimmy Swaggart who was cheating on his wife.
He was a preacher at one of the mega churches and he was cheating on his wife and stuff.
So those kind of things really did a number on organized religion and Christianity in particular.
And so Christians kind of got browbeat a lot.
And so they kind of, they weren't proselytizing the way they were before and stuff.
And so after that, you had a situation where kind of like the secularists kind of moved in and kind of took over and they're like, well, you know, I'm kind of Christian.
I have, you know, we celebrate Christmas, but we're, you know, I don't go to church and stuff.
And they kind of became the center of the United States.
And so that kind of opened the door for people to say, well, you know, there is no religion that the U.S. has.
It's like we don't have a religion in the United States.
It's doing things like we did these things because we said that we're polite people.
We're not going to, you know, be mean to people.
And the Bible commands us to speak in truth and love.
That is, that is two things we're supposed to do.
And I can tell you the truth in a very loving way, but I have a requirement to tell you the truth.
That is what the Holy Spirit asks us to do and tells us to do.
So I think when we water down our faith leaders to give us these, you know, these coffee shop talks instead of actually reading the word of God and convicting people to go out there and go and sin no more, we're not going to win the faith back.
And I think the founding fathers were very clear.
We are a Christian nation.
When they came together and said, you know, freedom of religion, they were talking about Christianity because they were simultaneously burning women for being whores.
So I definitely think they were talking about Christianity.
And, you know, even though, like, I, you know, I'm an agnostic, I still understand that, you know, the United States was founded by Christians.
They were trying to escape the persecution from the Church of England.
They wanted to be able to practice their faith in the way that they saw fit, the way that they believed that the word told them to.
And so, like, even though I'm not, you know, a believer, I understand the faith enough and I understand our history enough to be able to say, yeah, we are a Christian nation.
You know, that's that's the moral, the morals that we all share here, that most of us share in the United States, they come from Christianity.
Well, again, that's why I specified the Church of England.
Like the way, like, the Church of England was basically kind of the king and then the Pope.
Right.
And so it was basically the Catholics.
And the Protestants, they wanted to get away from that.
They didn't believe that God ordained the Pope to be the one speaking for God, right?
They said that, no, we can talk to God ourselves.
We can pray to God.
And so now you sure do have a bunch of plenty of denominations, but the reason that we don't have a state religion is because of the Church of England, because we didn't want to have one church in the United States saying this is the religion of the United States, because there were a bunch of different Christian denominations here in the U.S.
I mean, that's how you got, you know, nowadays, you kind of, most of the time in the U.S., you're either or people talk about either Catholics as Christians or they talk about Protestants.
And those are the two main.
And basically, if you're not a Catholic, you're some form of Protestants.
So the Baptists, the Episcopalians, those are all Methodists.
So there is a concept about new Christians needing milk like a baby, right?
And I think mega churches do a really good job feeding milk to new Christians.
It's a very watered down version, but I'm glad you're here.
I'm glad you're learning something.
There comes a point where babies need to grow and they need solid foods.
And you're developing your faith with Christ.
If you're actually praying and reading the word of God, spending time with him, you will get to a place where you'll understand the megachurches that while they serve a purpose, they don't serve a purpose for you and your faith and your walk.
They really, really don't.
It's more of it.
It is a business model.
And I also think that it's more of a production.
I was a worship pastor for a couple of years, and the production side of it always felt took away from the actual worship part of it.
When you come into worship God, it's not supposed to be all these lights and things like that.
It's a church.
Yes, it's supposed to be you offering a sacrifice to God.
It's almost like if you give your life over to Christ, it's basically like you're saying, it's a huge weight that's lifted off your shoulders.
You're basically saying, like, use me, guide me.
Like, when I, I'm not an expert at praying yet, but like when I, when I do pray, I'm like, hey, I pray for guidance.
I pray for strength.
I pray for clarity.
Like, I pray all the time, like, Lord, help me use my platform for like to the best of whatever is your plan.
It also helps, you know, just like, if you don't want to make a big prayer, like, it's just like, oh, help guide me through this day.
I think one of the women who's leading my OCIA class has this prayer and a line that really stuck with me was like, like, God, please destroy any plans today that are not part of your plan, which is like, what a great thing to remember.
So if you're like stuck in traffic or something doesn't work out or like something happens to your day, we're like, oh, this is messed up.
This is ruined.
It's like, no, like, maybe some things get upended because that's part of the plan and that maybe kept you away from something.
Another thing that's good to remember is like, yeah, rejection is, you know, oftentimes redirection.
You know, it kind of helps take some of the negativity and the heaviness.
It's like, all right, well, someone else is like kind of steering you.
You just have to be get in flow with it, get in flow with what God's plan is for your life.
And then it's not all on you to make, you know, every decision, you know, on your own.
It's like we all kind of need to like rely on him.
Yeah, the Uh no, Grok, someone just was talking to asking Grok about it, and Grok says, The U.S. State Department issued a security alert on February 5th, 2026, urging American citizens to leave Iran immediately due to ongoing protest, unrest, internet outages, flight disruptions, and risk of terrorism, kidnapping, and arbitrary detention.
They suggest departing by land to Armenia or Turkey if safe commercial flights are limited.
If the Iranians don't play ball, I imagine strikes are imminent, right?
Like, so they get together tomorrow at 10 a.m.
And if they don't hammer things out, I wouldn't be surprised if there were strikes tomorrow evening, which would be what, you know, about this time tomorrow evening, probably during 10 minutes.
The only problem Iran faces and the regime faces right now is that what people are on the streets complaining about, this regime cannot address.
They cannot address it because it's economic.
Those problems remain.
And one of the reasons why the Iranian regime cannot provide the people of Iran the quality of life that they deserve is because they're spending all their money.
They're spending all their resources of what is a rich country.
Sponsoring terrorism, sponsoring all these proxy groups around the world, exporting, as they call it, their revolution.
But I remind everybody what I've been saying through my entire career in public service.
I said it in my hearing when I was asking for confirmation through the Senate.
The Iranian people and the Iranian regime are very unalike.
In essence, what the Iranian people want, this is a culture with a deep history.
These are people that the leadership of Iran at the clerical level does not reflect the people of Iran.
I know of no other country where there's a bigger difference between the people that lead the country and the people who live there.
As far as the president's views on the way protesters were treated, he was very clear about it.
And as you saw, helping democracy.
Part of what the president said publicly, prevented mass execution and the precipice of.
And obviously, beyond that, the president retains a number of options to how he responds to that and future events.
But as far as the talks are concerned, I think the Iranians had agreed to a certain format, for whatever reasons changed in their system or what have you.
I don't know how much of a dictator he was, how many people running it.
Iran, I don't, I have not worked in the Iranian government, but I think it's a more entrenched attitude, Ian.
Yeah, right enough.
35 years, 45 years, I think they've been in power.
So they're heavily entrenched.
If we did remove the top eight guys from power there, we'd still have a bureaucracy, like a deep state, Iranian deep state that probably would be hunting down.
We, I say, but like, you know, militarized aspects of society would be hunting people down.
I think as well with this, it's very different than a situation where you're going to create martyrs.
Like Rubio is stating that everyone in Iran, which is what we all kind of know, most people in Iran are knocked down with what the regime is doing.
They're not going to be suddenly like, oh, I can't believe the U.S. came and killed our Ayatollah.
Yeah, there'll be probably a couple of those guys, but it's not going to be by and large, like the whole culture is against the United States for getting rid of or ousting this leadership.
We're not going to see martyrs.
We're going to see an overall end in terrorist funding around the world because these guys bankroll everything.
We've proven that they do it, and they've done it for a long time.
Yeah, and largely that's because of the changes in the Department of War with the media there and the changes at the White House, the media room there.
The media that was covering Donald Trump, they had a lot of connections.
They knew a lot of people, and they would get information and they would put it out regardless of how many people's lives they endangered, no matter, regardless of how much of a problem it became for America, because, well, one, it was a scoop, and two, they could go ahead and cast Donald Trump as a bad guy.
I think another thing to speech my point is this right here.
You see this graffiti that someone shared that is written in Farsi, I assume, saying President Trump don't negotiate with the killers of the people of Iran.
But yeah, I mean, look, if they're going to be talking tomorrow and the State Department's issuing a warning now, I think it's, you know, I mean, again, not that I have any kind of insider information, but it's likely that if the talks break down, because they've been putting stuff in place for the past couple weeks, I think there's two carriers in the area now.
And I said a couple weeks ago, like people were talking about, you know, things are moving.
And I was like, at the time, there were no carriers in the region.
I was like, they're not doing anything until there's aircraft carriers there because the aircraft, it's not just the aircraft carrier, it's a whole strike group that comes along with it.
So there's a bunch of ships that are just there to shoot missiles and stuff.
Now that there's two carriers in there, that's how you know something's going, you know, or at least that's how you know the United States has the capability to do a, to do strikes that are sustained and to make sure that if there are any special forces or anything that are on the ground, because again, they were talking about, you know, special forces guys getting into the area as well.
If they're there on the ground waiting for, you know, waiting for the signal to go, you have to have a quick reaction force.
You have to have, normally, if it's Army going in, there'll be the Rangers on QRF.
But if it's this kind of situation, there's probably a couple thousand Marines on those aircraft carriers that they can use as a quick reaction force.
So if something goes bad, you'll have backup and the U.S. doesn't move without that kind of stuff nowadays.
Yeah, people just like to say, oh, the U.S. lost, the U.S. lost.
And fair enough, the U.S. goals, the U.S. political goals weren't achieved, but the U.S. didn't lose engagements at all.
I can't think of any significant engagement.
Obviously, people died.
People in the military died.
There were casualties.
But there was no significant military engagement that the U.S. got into where they didn't absolutely crush the opposition.
And that's whether you're talking about the Iran, or I'm sorry, the Iraq wars, one and two, Vietnam, Afghanistan, like all of these military operations, the U.S. absolutely dominated on, you know, the U.S. military absolutely dominated.
Vietnam, not Vietnam, the Tet Offensive is when it shifted and turned, it routed the Americans into a full retreat, just getting slaughtered off hills and dying in the jungle, napalming, like friendly fire.
It was after the Tet Offensive began, which is where the North Koreans or North Vietnamese, pardon me, came in a surprise attack with Chinese weapons, Russian weapons.
Basically, the reason we lost those engagements in Vietnam was because we were up against Russian weaponry, Soviet weaponry at the time.
They were feeding them to the North, the North Vietnamese.
There were definitely ambushes, but in the U.S., the U.S. lost 56,000 people in the Vietnam War, right?
Overall.
The VC lost 849,000 people.
So again, yes, there were times where the U.S. took casualties, but the overall military engagements, the U.S. absolutely dominated.
The problem was you can't subjugate people that aren't going to be subjugated, right?
The political side, they weren't going to win.
But when you go by, and I'm not talking about the politics, I'm talking about just the military operations, right?
The U.S. is absolutely the premier military in the world and has been since the end of World War II.
The U.S., like in Korea, right?
Like there were 2 million people that died fighting the Americans in Korea, or Chinese that died, because they would just send wave after wave after wave after people of people.
Like they would send them out with no guns.
There'd be a dude with a gun in the front.
There'd be a guy behind him without a gun that says, when that guy dies, pick up his gun.
So yes, I understand that like the politics side didn't, you know, the political goals weren't achieved.
And so that means that, so technically the U.S. lost.
But the point that I'm trying to make is that the military engagements, when you're talking about just what the military is doing, the military doesn't lose.
And it's not that they can't, but like overall, it's like 50 to 1 engagements the U.S. wins.

Joey Giggles, Ian would, I would play Wow with you, oh, World of Warcraft with you, and talk all the lore and talk about alternate dimensions and alternate realities.
But your weak spot is politics, and I'd have to walk away from that combo thinking, WTF.
Wolf37401 left is accusing everyone they disagree with of being every iss and ism has become so common that I no longer trust anyone who hasn't been targeted like that by blue sky weirdos.
But the idea that he's trying to communicate here is that like hard-hearted people or people that don't have a conscience are like, he's making the statement that they don't have that mind of God.
Like if it is a magnetic, we're obviously in a magnetic field, but if that thing is somehow aligned within a magnetic field, you're being pulled towards that alignment.
And the people that go broken, they can shut off that alignment.
Like they can really resist it to the point where they're no longer even really being pulled towards it.
I would also say that in the actual Bible, Matthew Mark, Luke, John, after Jesus dies, he says, a greater is the one that comes after me, and that is the Holy Spirit.
So you get Acts, which is next.
So these people who followed Christ are not necessarily Christians.
You know, it came after when the Holy Spirit came among, came out and came upon them.
So it's a whole, it actually is like a spiritual manifestation of God that lives through us.
Oh, you're saying after Jesus died, the Holy Spirit started working through the followers or the people that came after and they started kind of building an ecosystem of righteousness.

The Winter Olympics has long been a battleground for marginal canes.
Just look at the International Bob Slant and Skeleton Federation banning the new helmets Great Britain had planned to wear next week due to their aerodynamic ridges.
Thursday, however, took things to a new level in Milan Cortina.
Ski jumpers allegedly injecting their penises with hyalonic acid in order to fly that little bit further.
I know hyaluronic acid is a common product in skincare.
I know that it helps keep your skin nice and tone down.
It's like the, I think you were explaining it, Adam, is like, it's like the fin of a tail fin of a fin of an airplane, you know, on the back, that tail.
In prison, men actually will take little bits of dominoes, shave them down into little pearl shapes, and actually insert them in the shafts of their penis so when they get out, they can be more pleasurable for women.
In each case, an incarcerated Hispanic male or fellow inmate filed a domino into unique shape for placement under the penile skin, utilizing the tip of a ballpoint pen or a sharpened shirt of plastic to create a puncture wound.
Each man inserted the domino fragment into the subcutaneous tissue of the penis.
All three men present with infection requiring optimal removal.
