If you have ever wondered what holds a man together when the full weight of a corrupt federal system is trying to crush him, I will tell you. It is not bravado. It is not press releases. It is a wife who looks you in the eye at the end of the worst day and tells you to keep going. It is the women in your life who refuse to let evil have the last word.

Everyone reading this knows a woman like that. Honor her today and every day after.

The Almighty did not make you for comfort. He made you for purpose. There is no purpose more sacred than the one He placed in your hands when He gave you a child.

Almighty God, on this Mother's Day, we thank You for the mothers of this Republic. Bless the mothers raising children in fatherless homes. Bless the mothers who buried a son or daughter in uniform. Bless the mothers who pray through the night for a child who has lost his way. Bless the mothers who walk into school board meetings shaking and walk out unbroken. Bless the mothers in heaven who still watch over us, including my own. Strengthen them, protect them, and use them, Lord, to raise up the next generation of patriots this Nation will need. In Your Holy Name we pray, Amen.

To every mother reading this, thank you. You are the reason this Republic still has a fighting chance.

Happy Mother's Day.

James Comey signed his name to FISA warrants built on a fabricated dossier paid for by Hillary Clinton’s campaign (he likely knew it too). He then leaked privileged government documents to manufacture a special counsel.

He sat across from the POTUS and ran a counterintelligence trap while smiling. He destroyed careers, shattered families, and weaponized the most powerful law enforcement apparatus in the world against American citizens he had already decided were guilty.

Now, his daughter has lost a government job, and he calls it illegal!?

The projection here is astonishing. This is a man who has never once been held to the same standard he applied to others with ruthless aggression. He has never sat in a room and been asked to explain himself under oath, as he forced others to. He has never had his home raided at dawn. He has never had his life turned inside out by the machine he ran, and because none of that has happened yet, he still believes he is untouchable.

He is NOT untouchable. He is simply not yet touched.

There is a difference.

History has a way of correcting that distinction, and James Comey knows it. That is why he keeps talking. Guilty men who feel the walls closing in cannot stay quiet. They never could.

Statement on the Epstein Files: The American people have read and had enough.

What is already documented in the Jeffrey Epstein matter is enough to demand the full release of every page.

It is enough to demand the prosecution of every adult whose name appears in connection with the abuse of a child.

It is enough to tear the entire apparatus of redaction and protection down to its foundation.

Children were trafficked through the homes, planes, and islands of some of the most powerful people on earth. Women working directly for Jeffrey Epstein and Ghislaine Maxwell, including women who were themselves victims groomed into becoming traffickers, sent emails identifying girls as young as nine, ten, and eleven for delivery into that network.

Representatives Boebert, Luna, Massie, Khanna, and Garcia with security clearances and direct access to the unredacted files, have told the American people that the language in those documents is darker than what the public has been allowed to see.

They have described emails about torture. They have described coded references that warrant immediate criminal investigation. They have described names hidden behind black bars while survivors watch their own identities exposed.
That is not a conspiracy theory. That is testimony from sitting members of Congress, on the record, in front of the cameras, under their own names.

What is already on record is enough to indict an entire generation of institutional failure. The FBI had this material for two decades and the case went nowhere. The Department of Justice cut the original sweetheart plea deal in Florida that let Epstein walk in a county jail with work release. The man himself died in federal custody on the watch of agencies that to this day cannot give a clean accounting of what happened in that cell.

Now, after the Epstein Files Transparency Act (a law), the American people are told that millions of pages remain withheld and that the redactions in what has been released are shielding the powerful rather than the victims.

There is pure evil in this case. Real, spiritual, moral evil of the kind the Scriptures warn us about and that every civilization in human history has been forced to confront.

Children were destroyed for the appetites of the wealthy and the connected. The institutions of this Republic that exist to protect those children failed them at every level, for decades, across both parties.

I have spent a lifetime in military and intelligence work. I have sat in the rooms where decisions get made. I have watched institutions classify their failures, bury their misconduct, and call the result national security. The pattern in this case is the same pattern I have watched my entire career.

The powerful protect the powerful. The truth gets buried until the American people force it into the open.

So here is what every American must demand, and what every American must keep demanding until it is delivered.

1. Release every page, every email, every flight log, every financial record, and every video.

2. Strip the redactions that exist to protect the predators rather than victims.

3. Identify every person, foreign or domestic, whose name appears in connection with the abuse of a child.

4. Prosecute where the evidence allows, regardless of station, party, citizenship, or wealth.

5. Reopen the question of Jeffrey Epstein's death in federal custody.

6. Audit the FBI, the Department of Justice, and every agency that touched this case for the past twenty years.

The Constitution does not run a separate justice system for the connected. The Republic does not bend its laws around the elite and no claim of "national security" will ever justify the protection of monsters who paid to abuse children.

Pray for the victims and do not, under any circumstance, let this story die.

Mike Pence wants to warn Republicans about the “siren song of populism.” I want to remind him of what the last half-century of his “traditional conservative principles” actually produced.

1. It produced NAFTA.

2. It produced the WTO deal that handed China our manufacturing base.

3. It produced twenty years of nation-building in the Middle East while our own Nation crumbled.

4. It produced a ruling class of Republicans who won elections, controlled committees, gave speeches about limited government, and delivered NOTHING.

Not one inch of a wall.
Not one factory brought home.
Not one federal agency, activity or department reined in.

NOTHING, so stop with your BS!

Mike, that is the path you want us to return to. You call it principle. I call it failure with a flag pin on the lapel.

The American people did not drift toward populism. They ran toward it because the alternative was another decade of men like you managing their decline while assuring them it was conservatism.

We are done being managed.

We are done being lectured.

We are done watching Washington Republicans cash out while the country falls apart.

There is no time for choosing, Mike. The choice was made (three times to be exact). The only person who hasn’t accepted it is YOU.

You may as well be speaking to the hand! You’re wasting your time if you believe for a second that you have a shot at the presidency.

Americans are now demanding far more leadership than you ever demonstrated.

Have a nice day!

Thank you for your attention to this matter!

The Remnant is Rising, and if you have been waiting for a sign that it is time to get off the sidelines, this is it. The ReAwaken Reunion is coming to Sheridan Church in Tulsa, Oklahoma, and this is exactly the kind of gathering that reminds you why the fight is worth it.

This is not just another event on the calendar. It is a room full of people who love this country, who have not given up on it, and who know that real change starts when real people decide to show up.

There is something powerful that happens when believers, patriots, and leaders come together in one place with one purpose, and that is exactly what this reunion is going to be.

We are just weeks away, and seats are going fast. If you have been feeling isolated, discouraged, or like the voices of faith and freedom, are losing ground, this is where you come to be reminded that you are not alone. You never were.

Tickets are available now at timetofreeamerica.com, and we cannot wait to see you there.

The Trump - Xi summit: What the United States should be addressing.

The Chinese Communist Party is the single greatest external threat to the United States of America.

That is not a political statement. It is the operational reality confirmed by every serious threat assessment produced since I left government.

In my latest piece, I lay out ten (10) specific, documented actions taken by the CCP against the American people over the last five (5) years.

Taken together, these ten items form a single picture.

The Chinese Communist Party is working to hollow out the American Republic from within while simultaneously building the military capability to confront it from without.

The evidence is clearly documented across the federal record.

The American people deserve the truth, and the truth is this. The country you were born into is under sustained assault by a foreign adversary that does not sleep, does not relent, and does not lose interest.

Every day you spend distracted is a day our adversaries spend advancing.

Every institution you assume is still working in your interest has, in too many cases, already been compromised, captured, or quietly redirected.

Every comfort you take for granted, the electricity in your home, the water from your tap, the medicine in your cabinet, the food on your shelf, the device in your hand, sits on a supply chain that runs through the territory of an adversary that has openly stated its intention to displace the United States as the leading power on Earth.

The battlefield is no longer somewhere else. The battlefield is your home.

Senator Rand Paul, you clearly have learned very little in your time as a U.S. senator about the power of the C. I. A. nor what they are willing to do to those they view as crossing them.

Please stay on top of this because it doesn’t appear anyone else has the guts.

Breaking (the internet):

CCP President Xi’s use of the term, “Thucydides Trap” during his opening comments to POTUS has everyone wondering …

WHAT THE …. ?

Xi’s remark on the Thucydides trap is a classic piece of Chinese diplomatic signaling; polite on the surface, however, very sharp and pointed underneath. It’s a reminder to our president (and the world) that Beijing (Xi) sees itself as the rising power in a structural rivalry with a (supposedly) established hegemon (the U.S.), and that any failure to accommodate China’s ascent risks major conflict which the United States cannot afford (and there is practically zero support from the American people currently for more war and Xi knows it).

Examining it another way, President Xi stated it intentionally to show China as Sparta (rising, dynamic, rightful heir to greater influence) and the U.S. as Athens (established but fearful and in decline). To some students of warfare, this may be an imperfect analogy, but the fact he used this phrase must be clearly and thoroughly examined.

Xi is signaling that the U.S. should step back gracefully, especially on Taiwan (and never lose site of what Xi has already said about Taiwan; One (1) China, and he’s not backing down), checking trade & tech restrictions, and increasingly regional dominance, rather than the U.S. attempting to further impede China’s “rejuvenation” efforts.

Essentially, it was a veiled warning:

Push too hard (ie., on Taiwan or decoupling), and structural tensions could lead to an extremely dangerous place.

Lastly, I believe Xi’s use of this ancient theory on warfare is explicitly tied to Taiwan tensions. At the same time, it’s cooperative language as well. Typical use of smart diplomatic double speak the Chinese are masters at.

Xi addressing a new paradigm, a brighter future for humanity because he knows the world is watching and listening and studying.

This is standard CCP diplomacy that keeps the door open for deals while putting the onus on the U.S. to avoid escalation.

Bottom line, and like it or not, he let Trump know you’re in my house now and we set the rules here.

FYI only, Thucydides wrote about the Peloponnesian War. The War (431–404 BC) was a devastating 27-year conflict between Athens and Sparta. It was driven by Sparta’s fears of growing Athenian (ie., U.S.) imperialism, the war ended with the total defeat of Athens, fundamentally altering the ancient Greek world and ending its “Golden Age.”

The Peloponnesian war lasted more than two decades. I’d say we’re somewhere in the late third quarter and time favors the watchmakers and not the watch-watchers.

We need to keep in mind that President Donald J. Trump isn’t the only one who understands nor read the art of the deal.

#FREETINA

Tina Peters is finally scheduled to come home, and that matters more than most people in this country will ever fully understand.

Tina sat in a cell while the very system that should have answered her questions turned its machinery against her instead. She lost time that no court order and no commutation can ever give back. She endured what would break most people, and she did it without surrendering her conviction that Americans deserve to know their elections are honest. I have served alongside warriors my entire adult life, and I will tell you plainly that the measure of a person is not what they do when things are easy. It is what they hold onto when everything is being taken from them.

Tina held on.

To everyone who prayed for her, who refused to go quiet, who kept her name alive when the powerful hoped you would forget: you fought with honor.

Tina, you are coming home to a Nation that never stopped believing in you, and to a God who carried you through every single day of this.

Soon the nation will welcome you home.
