Mike ‘Pick Me’ Pence’s Opposition To The SAVE Act Is Dishonest And Constitutionally Illiterate
Pence felt the need to slither out of political obscurity to finger wag at people who actually want to safeguard elections against noncitizen voters.Pence felt the need to slither out of political obscurity to finger wag at people who actually want to safeguard elections against noncitizen voters.America is now playing by Corkins’ rules — unless we stop it
Floyd Lee Corkins. That name should ring louder than it does.
In 2012, Corkins stormed into the Family Research Council’s Washington, D.C., offices armed and intent on mass murder. A security guard stopped him before he could carry out a massacre. He became the first person convicted of domestic terrorism in the District of Columbia.
Corkins came once. His successors will come again. ... The question is what we’re prepared to do about it.
Yet you probably don’t recall him right away. Why not? Probably because the propaganda leaflets against Chick-fil-A and Christians found in his car tied back to groups like the Southern Poverty Law Center — and the press played down the obvious connection. They helped bury what Corkins meant to announce in blood: that political rhetoric backed by violence was the new normal.
I’ve long warned that when legitimate authorities fail to punish evil, someone eventually decides to take matters into his own hands. Corkins is the left’s demonic version of that. His case teaches a simple lesson: If you’re going to call conservatives Hitler, sooner or later someone will start acting on the metaphor.
That same logic drove the 2017 shooting at a congressional baseball practice, where a Bernie Sanders supporter nearly assassinated a swath of House Republicans. Rhetoric became ammunition. Talking points became bullets.
Fast-forward to 2025. The demons are autographing their shell casings. They want everyone to know exactly who wants us dead. And the corporate left-wing press winks and nods along.
Enter Jimmy Kimmel, a late-night host with fewer viewers than Glenn Beck can pull in an impromptu X Spaces session.
Kimmel should have been irrelevant years ago. But his network kept him on the air. Why? Not because he draws ratings or ad revenue — he doesn’t. He survives because of affinity advertising: the corporate and philanthropic subsidy system that props up “the right people” no matter how much red ink their shows spill. Pfizer, Disney, the Soros family — they all bankroll the propaganda they want in circulation, audience or no.
As the Joker explained while burning an enormous pile of cash, “It’s not about the money. It’s about sending a message.”
That’s why Kimmel could stand on stage and smear conservatives, even after Charlie Kirk’s assassination, and still be untouchable. His words carry the same function as Corkins’ bullets: intimidation dressed up as entertainment.
RELATED: Violence gave Jimmy Kimmel his job back
The danger isn’t just one unfunny comedian. It’s the ecosystem that shields him. Advertisers and networks subsidize the message, the media excuses it, and the extremists absorb it as permission. That’s how rhetoric becomes carnage.
We face two choices. We can enforce the law, punish violent actors and those who materially enable them, and protect the marketplace of ideas. Or we can accept the Corkins rules: a culture where calling people Hitler is step one and shooting them is step two.
The notion that we can run in place like Mike Pence, emasculating ourselves for the sake of “proper tone” or one last bow to decorum, is a funeral march. Some may find comfort in that tune, but I will not bind my children’s future to it.
Corkins came once. His successors will come again. Kimmel’s sponsors and allies want you to think this is inevitable. It isn’t. The question is what we’re prepared to do about it.
The cold civil war is real — and only one side is fighting to win
Don’t threaten me with a good time, Texas.
If you are going to issue arrest warrants for the Democrat traitors, then somebody better get arrested. Get busy living, or get busy dying.
If we don’t fight for the good, the true, and the beautiful, we risk far more than elections
We’re not just living through political dysfunction — we’re slogging through a cold civil war. And it’s time we started acting like it. Just war theory demands it.
Living ‘not of’ this world
Augustine developed the theory for a Christianized Roman empire that needed to distinguish the rules of the “City of God” from those of the city of man. Today, America must reclaim that tradition — not to excuse evil for the sake of good, but to return to our foundational, God-ordained principles.
To what degree can we become the shining city on a hill that the founders intended while being mere sinners? Since the values that defined such a city existed long before the American experiment was ever tried, we were clearly meant to rely on the rigorous application of self-evident truths — not to reinvent the wheel.
We have a duty to defend the integrity of our worldview — contrary to what your sweater-vested beta-male pastor may have told you. When the laws of nature and nature’s God are under attack, we are biblically called to offer up reasons for the hope that is in us.
When we don’t, we don’t just forfeit hope; we invite its opposite — despair — which has so often been the case in recent years. We must choose: the way of men or the way of cowards.
Yes, Trump won in 2024, and life is indeed better than it was a very short while ago. But make no mistake: We are still under attack.
A new ‘just war’ theory
That’s why we need a renewed just war theory for America’s current plight.
Whereas the spirit of the age — via its primary political vehicle, the Democratic Party — has willfully broken the social compact that once bound us together as a people;
And whereas that same spirit has made clear through both policy and rhetoric that it has no interest in restoring that compact;
Therefore, we no longer owe deference to any tradition, legal fiction, or gesture toward comity that no longer binds us. To pretend otherwise is to either lose the cold civil war or start a hot one that our children will be forced to fight.
We won’t do that to them. We will do the hard things now so that they may live free.
Therefore, our new rules of engagement are as follows: We will do everything it takes to win, other than what the ultimate judge of our fates explicitly forbids in his word. But short of that, we will do everything else to the greatest degree and with maximum prejudice when necessary.
We prefer cold civil wars when our side wins and the other side loses.
No more furrowed-brow “nicer-than-God” poses from the Mike Pence school of surrender. No more ackshuallys. No more arguing like the earth is flat.
Our domestic enemies hate us. They want to enslave our children. We must defeat them — without apology.
Our enemies are prowling
Remember that iconic line from “Independence Day”?
You will once again be fighting for our freedom, not from tyranny, oppression, or persecution — but from annihilation. We're fighting for our right to live, to exist. … We will not go quietly into the night!
If the fictional American president played by Bill Pullman in “Independence Day” could get us out of our seats with such a message, maybe it’s time we recommit ourselves to such a message possibility in real life.
That’s the prime directive. And after taking a bullet to the face and rising to shout “Fight, fight, fight!” it’s one that Donald Trump has recommitted to — body and soul.
Every tactic and strategy must now be filtered through that lens.
Because if we don’t fight for the good, the true, and the beautiful, we risk far more than elections. We risk our eternal souls.
RELATED: What Texas Dems are now saying after arrest warrants were issued for fleeing the state
Our enemies are deadly wolves, and they know what they are doing. Elizabeth Warren didn’t just accidentally find herself next to a foreign-born, communist, Islamic rainbow jihadist in New York and decide to brand him as the new face of her party.
She did it because she is making plans for your destruction.
So yes, we need to start arresting traitors in Texas. And that should only be the beginning of what we’re prepared to do because we love God, our children, and our future.
Trump is correct — Leonard Leo teamed up with Pence to derail RFK Jr.
The legal battle surrounding President Donald Trump’s proposed tariffs has intensified, and Trump took aim at the Federalist Society for helping him pick out the judges who are now giving him a hard time.
"It was suggested that I use the Federalist Society as a recommending source on Judges," Trump wrote in a post on Truth Social.
"I did so, openly and freely, but then realized that they were under the thumb of a real ‘sleazebag’ named Leonard Leo, a bad person who, in his own way, probably hates America, and obviously has his own separate ambitions,” he continued, adding that he was “so disappointed” in the Federal Society "because of the bad advice they gave me on numerous Judicial Nominations."
And Leo doesn’t work just with the Federal Society but with the CRC Advisors as well — who BlazeTV host Liz Wheeler believes are leading Mike Pence’s campaign to derail Robert F. Kennedy Jr.
“Mike Pence’s issue with RFK Jr. is what RFK Jr. plans to do at HHS, to hold vaccine manufacturers accountable, to reform the Big Food industry, which has caused chronic health problems among, especially children, but everyone in our country,” Wheeler says on “The Liz Wheeler Show.”
“That’s what Mike Pence is concerned about, because Mike Pence’s group takes money from Big Pharma,” she explains, noting that the former chairman of the pharmaceutical company G.D. Searle, which was bought by Pfizer, now runs a political group of his own.
“One of his pet projects, which he gave six figures to, was Mike Pence’s group, Advancing American Freedom,” Wheeler says. “The very group that is now advocating that Republican senators vote against RFK Jr., who wants to take on Big Pharma.”
Pence’s group, Advancing American Freedom, was working with the publicity group Leo funds, CRC Advisors.
“Now, this publicity group was hired by Mike Pence’s group to bring publicity to Mike Pence’s ad blitz, trying to convince Republican senators to vote against Bobby Kennedy,” Wheeler says.
“If you look at the client resume of CRC Advisors, another one of their clients is Eli Lilly, a big pharmaceutical company,” she continues. “This is the swamp, the interconnectedness, the fact that it’s so nebulous that everyone’s tied together, for what? For this swampy purpose.”
“And Mike Pence is pretending that his opposition to RFK Jr. is about abortion. It’s not about abortion. His group, his effort to derail RFK Jr. as HHS secretary, is funded by Big Pharma. That is his real motive,” she adds.

Mike Pence’s Dollar Store Dream Is Killing The American Middle Class
A few weeks ago, Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent rightly pointed out that “Access to cheap goods is not the essence of the American dream. The American dream is rooted in the concept that any citizen can achieve prosperity, upward mobility, and economic security. For too long, the designers of multilateral trade deals have lost sight […]Today's top stories
