Awarding the Medals of Honor during the State of the Union should be made standard practice. Every citizen of this country needs to know the recipients and story behind it. Those two stories were truly inspirational moments.

I saw something yesterday, that the congress portfolio was up 163% for 2025 vs the S&P’s 18%

Whats crazy is that while Pelosi undoubtedly gets the worst rap for this.. she is actually #8 on the list of top 10 congressional traders..

Congress Made Over $635 Million In Stock Trades While Americans Struggled – See Who Traded the Most

Did your member of Congress make the list?

Blumenthal made a little more than 400 trades last year and made $80M... Gottheimmer made about 420 trades and made $44M.. Issa made 1 trade.. and that trade made him $30M.. etc..etc...

Pelosi made a total of 12 trades last year.. and those trades made her $27M...

I can not say that was the best State of the Union Speech I have heard, but it may well have been the most effective. He had the democrats exactly where he wanted them throughout the evening.

I was particularly pleased with the recognition finally given to E. Royce Williams. His dogfight against Russian fighter pilots was a thing a legend in the Navy but classified for decades.

very well stated!

For the voters who watched the SOTU, it doesn’t get much more damning than this. Democrats agreeing not to stand and Trump taking advantage of the situation all night.

I would be replaying this non-stop in every advertisement I could, if I were a republican running for office this November. Or even any moderate or democrat trying to unseat one of those unpatriotic f**ktards

Great optical moment for Republicans. I would bet it is played at every congressional campaign stop leading up to the midterms.

It’s funny to see that this is the one thing congressional democrats and republicans seem to share. Money really does talk.

Spanberger? Liar, liar, pants on fire. She's trying to tax everything down to passing gas and burping.

I will be interested to see what others thought.

The Democrat leaders in the Presidential race are so far left they use a perceived moderate for the response.

That pick turns out to be the embodiment of a wine sipping Karen. Democrats are too obtuse to notice.

If they were smart, they had a camera trained on each D individually.. so that it can be demonstrated by whoever is running against them that they specifically dont agree that the priority is the American people..

Showing D's as a whole not standing up for Americans is a strong message.. but showing that YOUR senator/congressman doesnt think that YOU are the priority is about as powerful a message as it gets..

I obviously misread Al Greens sign last night.

Holy crap, we've actually got a picture of a real, live CW5? I've always heard they were complete phantoms.

Pretty dang elite group only 3-4% of CW’s have had that much experience and smarts in logistics

Not a great looking future....depressing or what....

A Nobel Prize–winning physicist says Elon Musk and Bill Gates are right about the future: we’ll have far more free time: but we may no longer have jobs

Pretty funny that he cant even get how to hold a protest sign right... That guy is a walking advertisement for the value of birth control...

But.. Houston will put him back in office.. Almost guaranteed..

Unless redistricting gets rid of him.

We won’t be that lucky, my understanding is his district will be Shelia Jackson lee’s old district?
The new map redrew his constituents in the 9th District into other areas, including the 18th Congressional District, which was previously held by the late Sheila Jackson Lee.

Trade one idiot for a new idiot, that district is pretty much a danger zone in Houston
