I am 💯 pro-life (moment of conception). There is no such thing as an “unborn” baby. That child is alive from the moment of conception.

Prove me wrong!

Breaking: IOWA FIRST!

Pardoned former National Security Advisor and retired Lt. Gen. Michael Flynn told an Iowa audience he's worried about the state of the nation, making it all the more important that Iowans elect Republicans this November.

"You've got three congressional seats that are at risk, a governorship that could be at risk," Flynn told the Westside Conservative Club crowd on Wednesday, Aug. 19, in West Des Moines.

Flynn said he sees as akin to the quilts his mother used to make, with grassroots communities acting as the thread that stitches it together, their precision and care creating something durable yet beautiful and easy to love.

"You've got to think about our country like that; you hang it up, you throw it in a bag, the kids use it too often, and (a quilt) starts to fray," Flynn said. "In our country, the stitching is coming out. The edges are frayed, the center is thin because it's been overused. We haven't taken care of it."

To start stitching Iowa back together, Republicans must elect Zach Lahn for governor.

"The thing about Zach (Lahn) is that he's not beholden to anybody," Flynn said. "And that's a big deal in politics."

Flynn said Lahn's ideology will keep Iowa strong, but only if Republicans turn out on Nov. 3, and he said Lahn's first focus should be on bettering Iowa's public schools.

"So you're known for corn, great," Flynn said. "But what does Iowa want to be known for? For me, the best answer is the best education system in the nation. If I was a governor, I'd want to be the top. I'd want to be number one."

Kim Schmett, one of the speaker organizers at the Westside Conservative Club, received a phone call late Saturday night: Flynn was in town with time to spare in his schedule. Would the Westside Conservative Club like to have him come speak? Schmett said yes without a second thought.

"It's really important to have some national speakers in, and for Iowans to hear that," Schmett said. "We have the caucuses, it's a rare opportunity that we have that the rest of the country doesn't, and I think it's our obligation to come and hear different speakers. I think it's good for democracy."

Chatter abounded as those gathered placed their orders, sipped their coffee and waited for Flynn to arrive.

"I spent about 40 minutes, two, three different times trying to get through this guy's resume," Schmett joked. "Finally I gave up and I thought, 'they don't want to hear from me, anyway; they're here to hear from you, general.'"

Flynn stood up from a table in the middle of the crowded room and strode to the front to shake Schmett's hand.

"I like to speak to audiences as though I will never be invited back," he joked. "So you know what you'll get from me is what I absolutely believe."

Flynn's message was simple: Want to win the election in November? Keep your focus local.

"I keep harping on this 'local,' because I use this phrase, 'local action has a national impact,'" Flynn said.

As the event wound down, Flynn had a final request for the audience.

"If you do anything after listening to me today, you go back and read Psalm 23, okay? Because America is in that valley right now," Flynn said. "We have two choices: Don't get involved, you know, let the political people do whatever they're gonna do. The harder path is long and generally pretty dark. But there's a little tiny light at the end, and you know what that light is? That's freedom."

LOCAL ACTION = NATIONAL IMPACT

“Truth is the cornerstone of society.”

The entire Mueller “investigation” must be thrown out and anyone impacted by that sham should be completely exonerated.

The challenges facing America demand informed, engaged, and courageous citizens who are prepared to take action.

On Tuesday, August 25, at 11:00 a.m. ET, I will join America’s Future Champions for a private, members-only conversation about the threats facing our nation, what lies ahead, and what each of us can do to help secure America’s future.

This is not a time to sit on the sidelines. Get involved. Stay informed. Take action.

LOCAL ACTION = NATIONAL IMPACT

Been there, done that. Most times they make up the crime, withhold evidence and then lie to a federal judge, but hey, what do I know…sad, but this is what the FBI has become known for. Doesn’t sound like much has changed. Call me sick of it!!!

The road ahead does not always reveal its destination. Some journeys begin before the country recognizes the road. In time, it will all make sense. Time to stand up, step up, and speak up!

LOCAL ACTION = NATIONAL IMPACT

GET INVOLVED NOW!

Please tell me this is AI.

It’s a straight and hard NO from me Dan, but someone needs to ask the people around the admin. And I don’t believe it’s just foreign influence money. Money comes in many forms (for example, I’ve seen it with things like political endorsements—I don’t take money for endorsements, but that question should be asked). And we don’t just have a rising Democrat Socialist problem here in America (and this is a very real threat that we all must come together on to defeat in these upcoming midterms) or a useless uniparty GOP that barely supports this president (there is no question about this), or outside forces like the CCP who leverage their inside spies to influence and steal from us our most sensitive secrets (you should have been made aware of these type activities in your DD time). Dan, to save our country, we must unite not divide. We must stop the name calling, stop the endless attacks against people who question the policies of this administration, an administration that many of us stood up to support and took many arrows for, some even going to prison, all based on a set of lies, in fact too many lies. In our form of government, we MUST be able to ask hard questions, otherwise, we are no longer a constitutional republic based on freedom and fairness for all. If those tough questions cause concern or discomfort, address them head on. All these issues mentioned above and many more have to be recognized for what they are and must be dealt with honestly. I use a phrase local action can have a national impact but only if each and every patriot decides to step up and speak out against the rising tyranny in our country. DJT has clearly changed politics as usual and quite possibly forever (IMHO, a good thing), but one man cannot do it alone. If we unite, we win…we stay divided, we lose. I want to win. So, what do you say Dan, let’s win.

“Neither let us be slandered from our duty by false accusations against us, nor frightened from it by menaces of destruction to the Government nor of dungeons to ourselves. Let us have faith that right makes might, and in that faith, let us, to the end, dare to do our duty as we understand it.”

-Abraham Lincoln

This has been ongoing for decades and we must recognize it for what it is, call it out and not allow this element to take over our country.

The march on the institutions (cultural Marxism) is in full swing and this is exactly why we must get the GOP off its dead a** and stop it.

Make this photo go viral.

Pray for these murdered children.

And God help our society that doesn’t protect and stand for innocent children.

Globalists are waging a physical war in Ukraine to first colonize Ukraine in order to then destroy Russia to gather more resources for their own selfish interests.

Globalists are waging a cultural war in the United States to destroy the last bastion of freedom in order to gather more resources for their own selfish interests.

Stop the rise of globalism by facing up to those who are running these wars.

America First!
