Good morning, patriots! 

As some of you know, my fiancée lives in Asheville, North Carolina—one of the cities devastated by Hurricane Helene. I’ve made several trips back since, including yesterday, when I had the privilege of watching her get baptized. Watching her grow in her faith has been one of the greatest blessings of my life. In a world full of chaos and division, I pray each of you experiences the unshakable peace that only Jesus can give.

Riots, Flags, and Federal Force in LA

What happened: Los Angeles erupted this weekend after ICE agents conducted a large-scale immigration raid targeting violent offenders and fugitives. Leftist protesters—many waving Mexican flags—stormed city streets, blocked freeways, and even attacked law enforcement. The situation spiraled so quickly that President Trump activated the National Guard to restore order. Footage shows officers being pelted with rocks and fireworks while Democrats like Gavin Newsom scrambled to blame the chaos on Trump’s enforcement of federal law.

Why it matters: Let’s state the obvious: if gun-toting American citizens blocked highways, assaulted police, and waved “Come and Take It” flags in downtown Atlanta or Dallas, the media would be screaming “insurrection.” But illegal immigrants and radical protesters do it in California, and suddenly they’re just “peacefully expressing frustration.” The media cheers it. Politicians cower. And the White House gets accused of “escalating tensions”—for daring to enforce the law.

What’s next: Federal officials, including acting DHS Director Patel, have promised arrests for anyone assaulting officers. Secretary of Defense Pete Hegseth made it clear: if the National Guard isn’t enough, the military will step in. Trump isn’t backing down—and neither should we. This isn’t about race or rhetoric. It’s about the rule of law. The American flag flies over Los Angeles, not the Mexican one.

Simone Sides With the Left, Not Women

What happened: Olympic gold medalist Simone Biles sparked backlash last week after she appeared to defend transgender athletes competing in women’s sports. In response to a social media post praising Riley Gaines for standing up for female athletes, Biles replied, “Y’all need to chill.” That’s all it took to ignite a firestorm.

Riley Gaines, the former NCAA swimmer who was forced to share a locker room with biological male Lia Thomas, didn’t let it slide. She fired back: “If wanting to protect women and girls makes you ‘not chill,’ then I guess I’m the opposite of whatever chill is.”

The exchange quickly went viral, with everyday Americans—and plenty of former athletes—calling out Biles for siding with radical gender ideology over fairness and safety in women’s sports.

Why it matters: This isn’t about feelings. It’s about fair competition. Every woman knows it—biological males have physical advantages that no amount of hormones can erase. We’re watching women lose scholarships, records, and opportunities because people like Simone Biles are afraid to tell the truth.

Biles had a choice. She could’ve stood with the girls who train for years to get a spot on the podium. Instead, she told them to shut up and “chill.”

Meanwhile, Riley Gaines is doing what most of the sports world won’t—fighting back. She’s been shouted down, assaulted on campus, and smeared by the press, yet she keeps showing up to defend women’s rights to compete on a level playing field.

What’s next: The fight isn’t over. Gaines continues to push for state-level legislation protecting female sports, while the Biden administration pushes Title IX changes that erase biological sex altogether. And athletes like Biles? They may face a rude awakening when the fans who supported them stop cheering.

Bottom line: You can’t say you care about women and stay silent—or worse, mock the women speaking out. Simone Biles may have medals, but Riley Gaines has backbone. And in this fight, that counts for more.
