TODAY: Virginia voters decide a referendum that would allow the redrawing of Congressional lines
It could swing four U.S. House seats in Virginia from red-to-blue next year
Why is the Maga project teetering? Because not even Trump supporters voted for this dysfunction | Moira Donegan
If our Christianity causes us to defend the president rather than the poor, the powerless, the sick, the hungry, the homeless, and the immigrant, that’s when we know we are following someone other than Jesus.
When the church abandons its rightful role as the conscience of the state and instead seeks to curry favor with the state, there is a real-world consequence. If you take an already grandiose man and fill him with a sense of divine purpose, you can uncage a tyrant. www.nytimes.com/2026/04/19/o...

Quite literally Nazi propaganda.
Pete Hegseth appears to be a very insecure man, persuaded that brass and political appointees loyal toJD Vance are out to get him. www.wsj.com/politics/nat...
The fact that Jared Kushner derives nearly all his income from the Saudi government while he purports to be negotiating issues of acute interest to the Saudi government allegedly on behalf of the US is simply swept under the rug by US mainstream media.
Israel never talked me into the war with Iran, the results of Oct. 7th, added to my lifelong opinion that IRAN CAN NEVER HAVE A NUCLEAR WEAPON, did. I watch and read the FAKE NEWS Pundits and Polls in total disbelief. 90% of what they say are lies and made up stories, and the polls are rigged, much as the 2020 Presidential Election was rigged. Just like the results in Venezuela, which the media doesn’t like talking about, the results in Iran will be amazing - And if Iran’s new leaders (Regime Change!) are smart, Iran can have a great and prosperous future!

Trump on his historically dismal approval numbers: "The polls are rigged, much as the 2020 Presidential Election was rigged"
Trump's DOJ is moving to wipe out the J6 convictions for 12 Proud Boys & Oath Keepers, including the founder sentenced to 18 years. Erasing accountability, one motion at a time. I break this all down and more in my Week In Review video on my YouTube page: youtu.be/hsI_hxHLNWo?...
Trump’s moves to bludgeon trading partners with tariffs and leave them to bear the brunt of a reckless, counterproductive war with Iran opened the door for China to present itself as a model of stability in a world of Trumpian chaos. open.substack.com/pub/contrari...
A shocking number of Trump's supporters have turned against him, @yvonnewingett.bsky.social and @elainegodfrey.bsky.social report. The pair spoke with voters in an Arizona swing district about why they're souring on the president: theatln.tc/mjSu54mq
If you watch and share one thing today make at this. Why is every democrat in the country not talking like this?

“If you take an already grandiose man,” our columnist David French writes, “and fill him with a sense of divine purpose, you can uncage a tyrant.”
A bombshell new report reveals that top military officials have kept Trump out of the room during Iran war operations because they fear his erratic behavior will put troops in harm’s way.

Hilarious if it wasn’t so sad.
Trump: "When you see soldiers walking around with no legs, that was Iran that did that"
You always have to pay attention to what is actually happening, not what Trump says is happening. Because Trump lies about everything. Too often media serves as Trump’s daily stenographer, passing along his propaganda verbatim.
Breaking News: Iran’s military said it had reimposed “strict control” over the Strait of Hormuz, adding to uncertainty over access to the waterway.
Iran's military said the Strait of Hormuz is closed again, prompting ships to turn back. on.wsj.com/42bjPdc
"A large number of Cubans are being held at the Everglades facility. 'Predominantly, the population are Cubans whose families voted for or supported Trump, and they’re pissed,' immigration activist Thomas Kennedy said." Insult to injury. @adriancarrasquillo.bsky.social:
They only closed it when Trump and Israel started a massive bombing campaign killing their leaders and school children.
It’s also interesting that we can now apparently take them at their word on this.
I think as with all things Trump I will wait and see what actually happens with Iran rather than all the things he claims are going to happen on Truth Social.
Experience shows actual results never match his claims on pretty much everything.
