'Do you agree with Justice Ginsburg that there are physical differences between men and women that are enduring?' the senator asked.
When Jackson claimed she had never heard the quote, Blackburn asked directly: 'Can you define the word ''woman''?'
'Can I provide a definition?' Jackson responded.
'No, I can't,' she declared, before adding: 'I'm not a biologist'.

The 2026 midterms are a contrast for America between common sense and crazy.
While Republicans deliver secure borders, a stronger economy, safer streets, and renewed American strength, Democrats are surrendering to the far left, communism, and much worse.
From their dangerous policies to their radical candidates, we are giving voters a clear choice this election with one clear outcome: House Republicans must defend and grow our majority and continue saving America!

“Although it pains me to do so, because of the respect I have for the Legislative Branch for government, and my decades-long record of cooperating with Congress, under the advice of my attorneys, I will invoke my right under the Fifth Amendment of the Constitution to refrain from answering your questions,” Fauci, 85, who led the National Institutes of Health’s National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases (NIAID) from 1984 to 2022, said in his opening statement during a hearing in Washington.
The Fifth Amendment says no person “shall be compelled in any criminal case to be a witness against himself.” Fauci received a preemptive pardon in 2025.

Watch Full Interview: North Korean Escapee: How Socialism Brainwashes and Destroys Everything | Yeonmi Park youtube.com/watch?v=r5ipSu_T3ak
Transcript Yeonmi Park: The young people really don't know how tyranny comes to them in America. Usually tyranny comes in the name of compassion and equality. They come and make the sweet, sweet promises of Paradise. They created the biggest concentration camp in human history. The whole country became a concentration camp. Nobody is allowed to leave North Korea. North Korean don't know. They are enslaved by a dictator.
So if you don't know, you're a slave. How do you fight to be free?
Nick Shirley: And how much of a risk do you think North Korea actually is to the United States of America?
Yeonmi Park: Well there eventual goal is destroying America(n) destroying capitalist societies.
Nick Shirley: What fears you most about fleeing socialism and seeing it coming back here into the United States?
Yeonmi Park: Well, the history repeating itself. It's a, it's, it's unbelievable. But I do have more hope for America because at least in America they have Second amendment. People can have arms. I think if the governments were to take that away from people, we will never be like no longer different than China or North Korea.
Nick Shirley: In North Korea, do you guys have any way of going against the government?
Yeonmi Park: No, because there are no guns. And when, in North Korea, when one person commits a crime, they punish anybody that's related to that person, its guilt by association. So when one person says something that is not pro the government, they convert three to eight generations. When that happens, if you have the guns unified, when you're going to all get killed anyway.
So that's why the first thing that the dictators did was getting rid of the arms from the people. But as long as America has different states and people have ability to protect themselves, I don't think we can ever reach the North Korean level of tyranny in America, even if we involve socialism.
NTD Reporter Iris Tao: Iris Tao with NTD with his sister media with The Epoch Times. On communism, you have been issuing a wake up call to Americans at home about the dangers of communism. And now you're speaking on the world stage. What's your message to people both living under communist and socialist regimes, but also people living under democracies like in Europe and America, who might not have realized how close communism has come to home.
President Donald Trump: Yeah, that's a great question, actually. But look, I want to get the word out because what's forming is communism in the country. And communism's easy to sell. I would be the greatest communist in history. I'd be right up there with Lenin. I'd be, I'd be as good as anybody. You've got free rent for the rest of your life.
What they don't say is that you'll be living in squalor in 12 months. You've got free house. Would anybody like to have a free house? We'll take it away from somebody will give it to you. You'll have murders all over the place. Communism's a disaster. It's been proven to be for thousands of years under different names, but the same thing.
It's very important. And, you know, it's funny. One of the reasons I do well so well with Hispanic people, I set a record. Republicans, I get great numbers for the election, helped me get elected in a landslide. The Hispanics, because a lot of them came from countries that were essentially communist. You know, whether you call them radical, socialist or communist is not that much.
But there is a little difference. When they say social democrats. With social Democrats, it sounds so nice. It's not nice. It's a very dangerous term. So I do talk about it and I talk about it on TikTok, and I talk about it everywhere. I talk about it here. And you're right, it has become international, but it's never worked and it's not going to work.
What is working is the United States. I think of it. We have more jobs than we've ever had. People are making more money than they've ever made. I'm talking about workers now. Talking about workers. They're making higher salaries than they've ever made before. It's just the best system and it's got flaws. But everything's going to have a little flaw.
But it's it's been amazing. And when I watch what's happening and I see these lowlifes getting I mean, they're low lifes, I watch them. I know good people, I know quality people. These are essentially low lifes. And when I see what they're talking, I think they're very dangerous in many ways. And I've said it. And then I said, boy, that's a pretty big statement.
Then I realized, you know, a couple of people said, I think you're probably right. I think this country with this thing that's going around is in more danger than it was during World War One, world War two. If you talk about September 11th, if you talk about Pearl Harbor, that was big danger. I think this is, I think, the concept of us going communist, because one thing that happens when you go communist, you never come back, never comes back.
You die in squalor, you die, you die a horrible death, you die in squalor, and it gets very evil and very nasty.President Trump Salutes America on July 4, 2026The Thinking Conservative2026-07-05 | ‘We’re celebrating freedom’s triumph over tyranny, liberty’s conquest over oppression, and the enduring victory of the American spirit,’ President Donald Trump said during his speech at the Salute to America Celebration in Washington DC on July 4, 2026.

Marco Rubio on Dangers of a Nuclear Iran in 2015The Thinking Conservative2026-07-05 | All the way back on September 10, 2015, just before Senate Democrats blocked a vote on the Obama Administration’s nuclear deal with Iran, U.S. Senator Marco Rubio spoke on the Senate floor about the repercussions of allowing the Iran deal to stand and the threat it poses to America and future generations of Americans.
Transcript Senator Marco Rubio: Mr. President, I'll be brief. I know the senator from Tennessee would like to close on this matter. I think everything that needs to be said about the details of this deal have already been said. I do want to be recorded for history's purposes, but for I know what was going to happen in regards to this if it goes through.
Iran will immediately use the money that it's receiving in sanctions relief to begin to build up its conventional capabilities. It will establish the most dominant military power in the region outside of the United States, and it will raise the price of us operating in the region. They're going to build anti access capabilities. Rockets capable of destroying our craft carriers and ships.
Continue to build these swift boats that are able to come on us. These fast boats that are able to swarm our naval assets. And they'll make it harder and harder for U.S. troops to be in the region. They'll also work with other terrorist groups in the region to target American servicemen and women, and they may or may not deny that they're involved, but they will target us and raise the price of our presence in the Middle East until they hope to completely pull us out of that region.
They'll also continue to build long range missiles, missiles capable of reaching the United States. Those are not affected by this deal, and they'll continue to build them as they've been doing. And then at some point in the near future, when the time is right, they will build a nuclear weapon and they will do so, because at that point, they will know that they have become immune, that we will no longer be able to strike their nuclear program because the price of doing so will be too high.
This is not just the work of imagination. It exists in the world today. It's called North Korea, where a lunatic possesses dozens of nuclear weapons and a long range rocket that can already reach the United States. And we cannot do anything about it. An attack on North Korea today would result in an attack on Tokyo or Seoul or Guam or Hawaii or California.
And so the world must now live with a lunatic in possession of a nuclear weapon, of nuclear weapons. And this is the goal Iran has as well, to reach a point where they become immune to any sort of credible military threat, because the price of a military strike would be too high, and then they become an established nuclear weapons power.
And never in the history of the world has such a regime ever possessed weapons so capable of destruction. Iran is led by a supreme leader who is a radical Shia cleric with an apocalyptic vision of the future. He is not a traditional geopolitical actor who makes decisions on the basis of borders, or simply history, or because of ambitions.
He has an apocalypse, religious apocalyptic vision of the future, one that calls for triggering a conflict between the non-Muslim world and the Muslim world, one that he feels especially obligated to trigger. And he's going to possess nuclear weapons. This is the world that we are on the verge of leaving our children to inherit, and perhaps we ourselves will have to share in it.
And so I want to be recorded for history's purposes if nothing else to say that those of us who oppose this deal understood what it would lead. And we are making a terrible mistake. And I fear that passage of this deal will make it even harder for us to prevent it. And I hope that there is still time to change our minds.
But here's the good news. Iran may have a supreme leader, but America does not. In this nation, we have a republic. And soon we will have new leaders, perhaps in this chamber, but also in the executive branch. And I pray that on their first day in office, they will reverse this deal and reimpose the sanctions and back them up with a credible threat of military force or history will condemn us for not doing what needed to be done at this critical moment in the world's history.

Just a moment ago, our colleague, Senator Hirono said there's a lot more to say. And indeed, she's right. And in fact, I want to go back to her comments. She began by saying, we have a long history of racial discrimination in this country. That's undoubtedly correct. And then she said, quote, we had poll taxes, we had literacy tests. We even had tests of how many jelly beans are in a jar. Mr. Chamberlain, when, when Senator Hirono says we had poll taxes.
I want to ask you who we is. And in particular, what party was it that implemented poll taxes in the South?
Will Chamberlain: I don't want to necessarily speak in every single case, but I'm pretty confident it was mostly the Democrats.
Senator Ted Cruz: And what party was it that put literacy tests in place in the South?
Will Chamberlain: Same answer. Mostly the Democrats.
Senator Ted Cruz: And what party was it that had tests like how many jelly beans are in a bottle?
Will Chamberlain: The Democrats.
Senator Ted Cruz: Tell me, what party were the founders of the Ku Klux Klan from?
Will Chamberlain: I'm pretty sure that was the Democrats.
Senator Ted Cruz: Indeed. In fact, Nathan Bedford Forrest, the founder of the Klan, was a delegate to the 1860 Democrat National Convention.
What party wrote the Jim Crow laws in the South?
Will Chamberlain: The Democrats.
Senator Ted Cruz: And, so, on this side of the aisle were members of the Republican Party. Who was the first Republican president.
Will Chamberlain: Abraham Lincoln.
Senator Ted Cruz: The Republican Party was literally founded to oppose slavery. We came into existence because slavery was a grotesque evil. And it was President Lincoln, the first Republican president who signed the Emancipation Proclamation, who won the Civil War. And that resulted in the freeing of the slaves and the passage of the 13th, 14th, and 15th amendments.

Kash Patel is currently President-elect Trump's nominee for FBI Director. He is a former top official in the White House, the Department of Defense, the Intelligence Community, and the Department of Justice. In his book and the movie, Kash pulls back the curtain on the Deep State, revealing the major players and tactics within the permanent government bureaucracy, which has spent decades stripping power away from the American people and their elected leaders. Based on his firsthand knowledge, Patel reveals how we can defeat the Deep State, reassert self-government, and restore our democracy.
Trailer Transcript: Kash Patel: Government gangsters are the group of individuals, career bureaucrats, who have been installed by what we call the deep state into every agency department in the United States government. Had Donald Trump not won in 2016, he would not have exposed the flank of the deep state, and their weapon of choice, the two tier system of justice. From Russiagate, Hunter Biden's laptop, to Joe Biden's classified documents case, to January 6th, to the 51 intel letter, and everything in between, we would never have learned that. These people are dangerous and vindictive, learning from their mistakes and perfecting ways to hide their corruption.

Transcript
Reporter: Republicans don't seem to be interested in the 1.8 billion fund. That clearly was a sticking point today up on Capitol Hill. Is there anyone that the President is reaching out to making calls to? It's not going to be on his desk by June 1st, which I think is a deadline he had said earlier so.
Stephen Miller: Well, that's a good closing question, only because it allows me to say this, which is that, we lived through four years of more than four years, actually, but I'll just say four years in this case, of unimaginable weapons, weaponization of the federal government against innocent people. We've had so many lives, it really goes back so I would say further, but so many lives destroyed, so many livelihoods ruined, so many people who were deprived of their fundamental rights and freedoms as American citizens.
And this settlement is just a small measure of the justice that they are owed. Anyways, It was thank you all for your time.

Every blue state refused. California refused. Minnesota refused. New York refused. In fact, they sued us to stop us from removing illegal aliens from the voter rolls, removing non-citizens from the voter rolls.
But that’s not the only thing. They don’t even want to get dead people off the rolls. They don’t want to get felons off the rolls. They don’t want to get out-of-state voters off the rolls. They don’t want to get double and triple voters out of the count. Because they want the fraud.
This is the most important issue, Sean, because the Biden administration brought 20 million illegal aliens into this country and this is the way, the only way, to keep them from participating in our sacred democratic process.”GOP Lawsuits Prevent Democrat Cheating in ElectionsThe Thinking Conservative2026-05-18 | RNC Chair Joe Gruters announces 130 LAWSUITS across 32 states to block Democrats from cheating in the elections — and MORE lawsuits are coming

American school children have became the minority in their own schools.
Senator Tommy Tuberville: Americans. Open your eyes. Look what's happening. We're losing. We're losing our country as we know it to people that want to destroy us. But this issue doesn't affect today. It affects us today and future generations. Mass migration is destroying our educational system. Listen to me. It is destroying it. Go to any high school and I can show you examples.
More and more American kids are entering the classroom, hearing multiple languages, being spoken around them every day, and have a difficult time making friends because they are now the minorities in the schools. We're having enough problems with our education system when our kids can't understand the language that the other people are speaking. That goes with our higher education, who have teachers and professors coming from other countries that can't speak English, that are teaching our kids in higher education, and our kids are paying a fortune to go to these four year schools.
Enough's enough. This is an English language country, and that's how we speak. That's how we communicate. Approximately 5 million students in US public schools are classified as English learners. 5 million can't speak English in our public schools across the country. It is destroying us 10 to 11% of K through 12 population and growing every day. And we got our eyes closed.
Our kids already have enough problems. Many of our kids were sent back during Covid. It was disastrous. What the federal government did to our kids of closing our schools was a disaster, and it was our fault. People in this building right here. But we're running and hiding now when the truce coming out. So now our kids are being left behind the classroom because school resources are being reallocated for kids that come from other countries, we need to be spending money on our kids to make them and give them better lives.
We are leaving our kids behind and our country will not survive without teaching and developing the next generation. The purpose of our immigration system should be beneficial, should be to benefit hard working American taxpayers. Do you think mass immigration is benefiting this country? Absolutely not. There's not one benefit to it and the next, it's the exact opposite of what we should be doing.
You know, mass immigration is a leech that is slowly bleeding this country dry. And politicians and the people across the country better open their eyes. There's been a lot of talk over the past few years about deportation, not 100% of what President Trump is doing. They got to go home. We can't afford them. American taxpayers, they need help.
We can't help people. If we don't, we can't help ourselves.

SPENCER PRATT For Mayor of Los AngelesWhy Bidens FBI Raided Trumps Mar-A-LagoThe Thinking Conservative2026-05-10 | Devin Nunes: I'm going to try to get out as much of this information and get it declassified as possible.
So you believe that they raided Mar-A-Lago because they were looking for this. They were looking for the intelligence community assessment. Your report on Russia's influence campaign targeting the 2016 presidential election. That's why they raided.
I believe it had to be one of the things that they were that they were looking for. Because, look, that report is, is pretty damning. If people take the time to read it, it's 45 pages. It spent. You know, we had a dedicated team that spent nearly two years down at the CIA looking through this. It was blocked from getting out.
And the reason that report is so important, right. That's let's just dumb it down. Simply put, we went through every single piece of intelligence that existed. And if anything, it was clear that if Putin was going to do anything, he probably wanted Hillary Clinton to win. But in fact, if you just apply a little common sense to it, the fact was, is that nobody around the world thought that President Trump was going to win in 2016.
Same with Vladimir Putin. He didn't either. And so when you when you go through that, that was the intelligence. Every piece of intelligence that existed is we went through it. It's in that report. And so and what do we know? What are we after all this after all, Trump and Russia and collusion. You know, the two people that didn't collude Trump and Russia.

Speaking at an April 24 Pentagon briefing alongside Joint Chiefs Chairman Dan Caine, Hegseth provided an update on the conflict with Iran, which is currently paused under a ceasefire agreement.
“Every ship that the U.S. believes, meets our criteria, either Iranian ships or to and from Iranian ports, has been turned around,” Hegseth said. “As of this morning, 34.”
Additionally, Hegseth emphasized that the blockade is both expanding and intensifying.
“Not only is the blockade growing, in fact, a second aircraft carrier will join the blockade in just a few days,” he said, adding that “this growing blockade has also gone global.”

“Once you let inflation take hold in the economy, it’s more expensive and harder to bring it down, and so the fatal policy error going back four or five years is still a legacy that we’re dealing with,” Warsh told the Senate Banking Committee.
“I think that means a regime change in the conduct of policy. I think that means a different, new inflation framework.”
Transcript: VP Kamala Harris: Then the president did say in the state of the Union. There is a price to pay for democracy. You got to stand with your friends.
And as everybody knows, even in your personal life, being loyal to those friendships based on common principles and values, sometimes it's difficult, and often it ain't easy. But that's what the friendship is about. Based on shared values. So that's what we're doing.

It holds that our rights and our dignities come not from God but from government. It requires of the people a subservience and weakness incompatible with a constitution premised on the transcendent origin of our rights.

Visit: www.thethinkingconservative.com thethinkingconservative.comNewsoms $1,350 VMT Charge Per Month For New Single Family HomesThe Thinking Conservative2026-04-04 | Steve Hilton: All right. VMT. Do you know what that is? You need to know, VMT. It stands for Vehicle Miles Traveled and is yet another sneaky, stealthy way that the Democrats in charge of California want to gouge you for the crime of driving your car.
So this latest version, I mean, this comes on top, by the way, of the highest gas taxes in the country, highest vehicle registration. Everything they can do to punish people who drive.
This thing we've dug into was actually started in something that Newsom touted as the solution to the housing crisis, to bring down housing costs. It's a bill last year called AB 130 and hidden away in it is this thing called the VMT Mitigation Bank a new tool for housing and infrastructure?
What it actually does, according to some estimates, is to charge you for every new single family home. But they don't want single family homes. They're trying to punish single family homes. They want to stop single family homes from being built. And so they're going to put this charge on, VMT, because if you build a new home, people are going to drive to their new home. That's vehicle miles traveled.
So to try and stop all that because they want to shove apartment buildings into existing neighborhoods instead of building new single family homes, they are trying to sneak in a charge, wait for it off. $1,350 per month for 20 years on every new single family home. And this is in the bill, the AB 130 that Gavin Newsom said would solve the housing crisis.
They don't want to solve the housing crisis. They don't want to solve anything. They just want to charge you more. And in return, you get less. That's why we need change in California. When I'm governor, all this nonsense will be scrapped.

"Let me make this clear. Federal agents, ICE, HSI, are officers. They are agents of law enforcement."
Transcription:
Chicago Police Chief Larry Snelling: Let me make this clear. Federal agents, ICE, HSI, are officers. They are agents of law enforcement. If you box them in with vehicles, it is reasonable for them to believe that they are being ambushed and that this could end in a deadly situation. And it's reasonable for them to use force based on those conditions. Do not box in any law enforcement officer. You are breaking the law when you do that, and you are putting yourself in danger.
Following law enforcement agents around. The question is why? What do you plan on doing? It's also reasonable for them to believe that you were eventually going to do harm to them.
If you ram any vehicle, especially that one that contains law enforcement agents and that's any law enforcement, local, state, federal, county, and you do this intentionally. This is considered deadly force. Deadly force is anything that can cause great bodily harm or death. When you plow into a vehicle that contains law enforcement agents, you're using deadly force, and they can use deadly force in response to stop you.
We need to be clear about these laws. We cannot become a society where we just decide to take everything in our own hands and start to commit crimes against law enforcement. It is a crime. You may not like what they're doing. I can understand that there's a lot of emotions out there, but that does not mean that you get to commit a crime, especially one that could lead to deadly force.
We need to keep everyone safe.
Our responsibility when it comes to federal agents, and I've been asked these questions. We do not interfere with the duties and responsibilities of federal agents.
For the first time in more than half a century, people around the world can look to the sky and know somewhere up there a crew of astronauts is on its way to the Moon.
They are NASA astronauts Reid Wiseman (commander), Victor Glover (pilot), and Christina Koch (mission specialist), and Canadian Space Agency astronaut Jeremy Hansen (mission specialist).
At 6:35 p.m. ET on April 1, they charged off the launch pad at Kennedy Space Center in Florida aboard the largest spacecraft built to carry humans into deep space and atop the most powerful human-rated rocket NASA’s ever constructed.
Transcript: Benny Johnson: Let's talk about hon Omar and Tim.
Vice President JD Vance: Exactly.
Benny Johnson: Ilhan Omar, the president and the White House have been out saying she married her brother, that there is immigration fraud going on here. These are deportable. The naturalization offenses. Can you give us an update on that?
VP JD Vance: Yeah. So we actually think that Ilhan Omar definitely committed immigration fraud against the United States of America. And I talked to Steve Miller about this actually, recently. We're trying to look at what the remedies are. That's the thing that we're trying to figure out. What are the legal remedies now that we know that she's committed to immigration fraud?
How do you go after her, how do you investigate oher, how do you actually do the thing? How do you build the case necessary to get some, some, some justice for the American people?
There's a related issue, Benny, which is she has been at the center of a lot of the worst fraudsters in the Somali community. So, do I know that Ilhan Omar was aware that the Quality Learing Center was defrauding the American people?
I'm not certain of it, but we at least need to investigate it, because if people can commit wrongdoing without even the fear that they're going to be found out, that that's a fundamental problem. So, I'm worried about the immigration fraud. I'm also worried about what did Ilhan Omar know about what was happening in the Somali community, and why was nobody looking into it until, frankly, Donald Trump did?

University of Austin Student: I would like to reiterate the thanks for your time here at the University of Austin.
What I wanted to ask you was, you speak of Islamophobia and classes like Black Studies as phony, ideological things, but, I was curious as to what makes them different. What makes, white supremacy different for like Islamophobia, is so different from antisemitism as there, you know, we did import many African slaves that died in the millions, and so, South American countries, even more so. We did force Native Americans on forced marches, that, and genocide. You know, there are Muslims being massacred in China today. So what makes antisemitism so different?
Ayaan Hirsi Ali: Two things. One is we have reckoned in America and in Western European countries, we've had a great reckoning with our past. We've addressed the fact that we engaged in slavery. We fought a war. We ended it. We had segregation. We had another major fight. We ended it. We had the civil rights movement. We brought women out of, and by the way, in fighting for all of those emancipation, the people who were heading these fights were constantly quoting from the Bible.
They were believing Christians, and they were inspired by their Christianity. So, number one, we had a reckoning. Number two, anti-Semitism is the oldest hatred in humanity and you find its, believe it or not, across the entire world. What made the West different after they nearly exterminated their Jews was to have that honest look in the mirror and reckon with what they did, and then that those campaigns to end it.
Islamophobia is a made up word. It's made up by a political movement that wants to exploit and capitalize on white guilt to achieve its end goal, which is the revival of the caliphate and the revival of the caliphate, is to convert all of us into Islam, whether we like it or not. Those of us who refuse to do that, we will surely be beheaded.
I'm sure I'm on top. And that is the end goal. And so they're exploiting these Western, part of subversion, this is what this is just a guest speech. But I wish that at some point, someone here could start a lecture series on subversion, on active measures, on asymmetric warfare that would get you interested in what it is that the Islamists are doing and how they've become so successful against these great nations with these incredible military and economic structures. And yet the Islamists are winning. Islam is spreading. They're doing better today than they were doing in 2001 after they hit us, and we invaded Afghanistan. They've got Afghanistan back. They have Iraq back. They have Syria. And these Muslim governments are shut, I mean, they're shaking in their boots. They're worried about what what could happen to them because of the Islamist movement.
And that's why there is and this movement came here, and they're exploiting principles like freedom of speech, freedom of religion, freedom of association, and so on. And of course, these progressive movements that we have here, we've got to understand that, and we've got to become really creative in finding a way of preserving our principles. I don't want to give up on the freedom of speech, but on the other hand, on beating the Islamists at their game.
Student: Is there room for compromise between principles?
Ayaan Hirsi Ali: If I want to kill you and behead you, unless you convert to the religion I dictate, what would be the place of compromise.
University of Austin Student: Ah, well, I would not mind converting, as I myself am an agnostic, so I have no faith, NI have no established faith. However, I understand that some people would not see it, have share that vision, so . . .
Ayaan Hirsi Ali: Let's play with this thought for a while. There's a time and a place for everything, and for some of the people say, in places like Africa, we don't talk about this, but Islam is active in Africa, and violently so. If you are a Christian in Egypt or, a Hindu in, in parts of Pakistan and you have someone looking at you and saying you like to lose your head or you convert to Islam, it makes sense to consider converting to Islam.
But here today, for us to have the attitude of, well, we'll see what happens, and if if we get to that point, I'll just convert. I will say, are you sure? Maybe you want to get educated on what would happen once you convert. What would your life be like and the life of your sisters and women? What would they do to the Jews?
He has said, this man, I repeated. He said, they are bacteria and microbes. And in the video that I showed you, they made it very clear it has nothing to do with Palestine. It has everything to do with them being Jewish. So they are going to annihilate the Jews. Will you stand by and watch that? Maybe I should give Introduction to Islam and Islamism as a lecture series, and once you understand what it's all about, you might, you might develop a backbone.Stephen Miller: Democrats DHS Shutdown is Legislative TerrorismThe Thinking Conservative2026-03-27 | During the Task Force Meeting to Eliminate Fraud, President Trump's homeland security adviser, Stephen Miller, tells it like it is regarding the Democrat shutdown of DHS. What the democrats are doing . . . "it is legislative terrorism. It is one of the greatest abominations that has ever occurred in the history of this country, and is to the everlasting and eternal shame of the Democrat Party."
Transcript: Stephen Miller: I'd be remiss if I didn't mention the atrocity that is taking place in Congress, with congressional Democrats fighting relentlessly to abolish the various federal agencies that are responsible for policing and investigating fraud, as well as all matters of homeland and national security. I see, of course, the new secretary, who has just been confirmed to DHS, my good friend Markwayne Mullen.
He now takes command of a department whose men and women have been working without pay for weeks on end to protect and defend the American people, to protect and defend our coastlines, to protect and defend our families. While, they've been treated with nothing but derision, hatred and contempt by congressional Democrats. It is legislative terrorism. It is one of the greatest abominations that has ever occurred in the history of this country, and is to the everlasting and eternal shame of the Democrat Party.
Again, thank you, Mr. Vice President, for your leadership and vision in establishing this task force. I'm proud to serve on it under your leadership. Thank you.
Visit: www.thethinkingconservative.com thethinkingconservative.comFraud: No Verification Process For Receiving Your Tax Dollars!!!The Thinking Conservative2026-03-27 | During the Task Force Meeting to Eliminate Fraud, President Trump's homeland security adviser, Stephen Miller, tells it like it is, there is no verification process that takes place for the receipt of most federal benefits.
Transcript: Stephen Miller: I think what's important for Americans to understand about how pervasive and widespread the fraud is, is that all of our systems were set up at established for a high trust society. I think that most citizens probably assume there's some verification process that takes place for the receipt of most federal benefits. The reality is, is that there is not.
This is particularly true in blue states, willfully true, and blue states in which all of these programs are operated entirely on the honor system. No verification takes place before individuals are enrolled in or receive these benefits. So as a simple example, if you're a Somali refugee living in Minnesota, you could lie about how many children you have. You could lie about what your immigration status is. You could lie about your marital status. You could lie about child care. You could lie about disability. You could lie about all these things and many more. And nobody in the state of Minnesota would validate any of these facts before writing you a check.
We at the federal government are simply sent a bill from the state of Minnesota for the cost of providing these services in the aggregate.
So, to take the food stamp program as an example, Snap. And that, of course, is administered by Secretary Rollins. We do not know the names of any Snap recipients in the state of Minnesota. We just get a blank check. We have asked the state repeatedly and tried to compel the state, unsuccessfully, to turn over their Snap enrollment rolls so we could ascertain such basic facts as, are these people even legally eligible to receive these benefits?
And the state has refused. Absolutely, categorically refused. And in fact, the state spent millions of dollars in court for the singular purpose of trying to prevent the state from ascertaining the identity of a single snap recipient in the entire state of Minnesota. Think about what this does to public trust, social trust, people's faith in the system, right. Imagine in a community, a working class community in the Twin Cities. Say a native Minnesotan who works as a lineman, or works as a construction worker, works in any job that requires hard work, dedication, focus. Who's worried about his ability to support for and provide his family. And then imagine that he has a neighbor who's a Somali refugee who arrived two years ago and has a Mercedes, and no financial stress and no worries at all in the entire world, and never seems to ever go to work at all because he just went to an office in the state, lied on a piece of paper, and got unlimited free money, forever, for life.
That is the system that is being run. That is the corruption that this task force under the leadership of the vice president is going to demolish.
Rep. Anna Paulina Luna: I would rather be on the right side and have, be able to control the outcome of something that I know is going to happen regardless.
If you know that you're going to get hit. And if you know that you are going to have people die, ultimately, that's a decision that I would never want to have to be in that decision, in that position as the president.
But what I will tell you is I would rather be on the right side, and have, be able to control the outcome of something that I know is going to happen regardless. And I think that this gives a bigger . . .
