- Matthew KolkenRT @BillMelugin_: NEW: DHS confirms that the suspect arrested by NYPD for allegedly following a 27-year-old woman into a Brooklyn building & then violently raping her on Sunday is a Peruvian illegal alien who was caught and released at the California border by the Biden administration on 8/18/2023. Per DHS, 35-year-old Reynaldo Hoel Mayna is now charged with anal rape – strongarm, assault with a deadly weapon, forcible touching: touching sexual/intimate parts of another person, and sexual abuse – 3rd degree. “Sanctuary politicians in New York invited this vile criminal into their community,” said DHS Secretary Markwayne Mullin.01.7K079
- Matthew KolkenRT @gunrights: Before @HarmeetKDhillon, the DOJ’s Civil Rights Division had never once sued to defend your gun rights. She built a Second Amendment Section from scratch and filed more than a dozen lawsuits against gun bans in Denver, Colorado, Virginia, D.C., and beyond. She was in our corner long before that, as counsel on NAGR’s amicus brief in Bruen. She stepped down from the DOJ today to return to private practice. Best wishes and great success in your future, Harmeet. Gun owners won’t forget what you’ve done for us.02180108
- Matthew KolkenRT @AAGDhillon: Serving my country as AAG for Civil Rights has been the honor of a lifetime. We ushered in the downfall of illegal DEI, we fought to protect women and girls’ sports, and so much more. I want to thank President Trump for giving me this opportunity. I look forward to what’s next!04.4K0179
- Matthew KolkenRT @MisanthropeFLA: NY is filled with absolute retards who don’t understand that all of their problems are local, not federal. The same people who complain about high energy proces just elected a governor who -Quadrupled their energy prices - Refused to suspend gas taxes and fees despite doing it under Biden - Panders to the anti-Semitic crowd -has raised taxes in order to house and feed illegals -has caused a complete stall in new housing because of regulation - has made rent unaffordable090201
- Matthew KolkenRT @mkolken: Rural conservatives in deep-blue states are effectively governed without consent. In New York, Republicans win most counties yet still lose statewide by 20 points because dense urban and suburban voters in New York City and its suburbs cast the decisive ballots and vote overwhelmingly Democratic. The result is that rural and upstate communities pay the taxes, live under the regulations, and absorb the costs set by politicians they consistently reject. Same story in California and Illinois. Population density has become a veto over the rest of the state.Matthew Kolken @mkolkenKathy Hochul “won” New York.06020643K
- Matthew KolkenRT @MorosKostas: Harmeet Dhillon will go down as one of the most prolific Second Amendment champions to serve in the Department of Justice. Under her watch, the federal government championed gun rights in a way not seen since Reconstruction. We are very sad to see her go, and we hope to see her replaced with someone who values the Second Amendment just as much. Whoever they are, they will have big shoes to fill.SAF @2AFDN@HarmeetKDhillon has been fighting for Second Amendment protected rights since day one. Through the DOJ, she and her team have filed dozens of lawsuits all over the United States where our rights have been infringed. As she returns to private practice, we wish her great success in her future endeavors.01170192

- Matthew KolkenRT @BillMelugin_: It’s going to be interesting to watch Fetterman & El-Sayed interact on the Hill. El-Sayed has referred to Fetterman as an “ogre” to be put on a “pike” & called him an “asshole”. Fetterman has said El-Sayed has “little man syndrome”, is a “tiny guy”, referred to him as “Pontiac Platner”, and called him an anti-American communist.

We thought we were moving to a red state (Nevada), we didn’t.Kevin Dalton @TheKevinDaltonIf you are having trouble trying to wrap your head around what happened in Texas and Nevada last night, let me help explain it for you. In 2024 alone, roughly 77,000 people moved from California to Texas. That same year, about 53,000 moved from California to Nevada. Those two states just delivered some of the biggest Democratic wins of the night. James Talarico flipped the U.S. Senate seat and became the first Democrat to win a Texas Senate race since 1988 Gina Hinojosa defeated Greg Abbott and became the first Democratic governor of Texas in decades Aaron Ford defeated incumbent Republican Joe Lombardo and flipped the governor’s office.05530136
