liberal Lindsay James called sex-changes for children—including gender surgeries, puberty blockers, and hormone therapy—"medically necessary" and "lifesaving."

She also refused to answer whether children are too young to make such an irreversible medical decision. More in Washington Free Beacon⬇️

DES MOINES, Iowa – Rob Sand’s newest campaign ad, “Genuine,” tries to sell Iowans on a guy named Mace Hensen, who talks about working a Republican county fair booth, and claims he still believes in what the party used to stand for.

The advertisement called him a “lifelong Republican,” who’s now backing Rob Sand because the Democrat is supposedly “genuine as the day is long” and will “rally the entire state.”

It was a pretty polished pitch. The problem is the paper trail. It was recently uncovered that in 2020, Mace Hensen was helping coordinate yard signs and volunteer efforts for Joe Biden, Kamala Harris, and Democrat Theresa Greenfield.

Does that sound like a lifelong Republican to you? That’s a Democrat organizer who got a new label for an ad.

Sand keeps leaning on these carefully staged endorsements because the truth of his record and his party doesn’t poll as well. When the “lifelong Republican” in your own commercial was handing out Biden signs six years ago, the whole crossover appeal starts looking like theater.

Iowans can watch the ad for themselves, but they should also see the 2020 posts that undercut it. Sand’s campaign is running on image, not truth.

Congratulations to all the Primary winners on Tuesday.

We're excited to have decisive winners in each race, no need for nominations going to Convention!

Also, more Republicans voted in this primary than Democrats. If we all get behind our nominated candidates this November, it will be a comfortable victory for all our candidates! We win if they win.

Today we honor the great sacrifice of the few for the freedom of many.

I did 5 tours to Iraq & Afghanistan as a Marine Captain, it's my job now to keep these great story fires lit. Let's remember & celebrate those we love who fell.

JUL11, I took this photo of this young Marine Infantryman, 1st Battalion 5th Marines before I too passed out from sheer exhaustion in the green zone NW of Sangin Afghanistan. Took from pre-dawn to late afternoon to move just a few miles as our & all nearby units were in constant contact with dug in & motorcycle mobile Taliban resistance via crew served, small arms, indirect & RPG fire. We had several Marine and Afghan Army casualties evacuated from the battlefield. Thankfully no KIA. Several EKIA. We approached, cleared, then secured an abandon compound and firmed up for the evening.

That was the easy part, as about 1900... we ran out of water.

Air was standing by to drop pallets of water, problem was the entire area around the compound was most likely seeded with Talib IED's. IED's which needed to be cleared, inch by inch, on foot. Bit after dawn 53's dropped pallets of water, outside the compound... in the area we didn't clear. Around noon we finally got to the water.

I hadn't experienced true thirst before then. You feel like you're dying. To date, that first sip of hot bottled water is the greatest sensation imprinted in my memory.

As wars in Ukraine & The Middle East rage on, I'm thinking about the absolute uncertainty prescribed for all involved & the pure horrors awoken in wake of war. As parents lose Son's & Daughter's, as Son's & Daughter's lose parents, as friends lose friends, as things that shouldn’t burn, burn, as "plans" suddenly dissolve & life becomes violently immediate, as things that shouldn’t be, become real & more disturbingly...common..

We have it good. Many of you have endured the photo below & know this, most of you have not & that is a wonderful thing, as I/we wish this on no one. War is a waking nightmare so I find the time to fully comprehend the wealth we recieve from the embrace of our friends & family and the laughter from our children.

Open your full refrigerator friend, turn on the faucet, look up at your intact roof, these things matter. We have it good.

"If we see only the worst, it destroys our capacity to do something. If we remember those times and places, and there are so many, where people have behaved magnificently, this gives us the energy to act, and at least the possibility of sending this spinning top of a world in a different direction. And if we do act, in however small a way, we don’t have to wait for some grand utopian future." -Howard Zinn

Semper Fidelis ❤️
