My dude, you had to pay an organization almost $800,000 because you apparently couldn't find enough regular people willing to help get you on the ballot.

While digging through state contracts, I noticed Garmong BOT Development has a contract worth nearly $29.3 million that's been amended at least 11 times.
Then I went to Garmong's website...
And who did I find?
Kyle Walker.
Current Indiana State Senator.
Senior Vice President of Development.
Hmmm.

Those of you who love to hate the United States, please step back and consider.....
Just 250 years ago, America didn’t exist. Let that sink in.
Within three generations of people, this country has accomplished the impossible
> first country to send human to the moon
> invented the internet and core infrastructure behind it (ARPANET, TCP/IP)
> invented airplanes
> invented the telephone
> invented electricity distribution
> invented reusable rockets
> invented the polio vaccine and mRNA technology
> invented the GPS
> built the deepest capital markets in history
> won 34% of all nobel prize awards, more than the next two countries combined
> annually spend a third of the world’s entire R&D budget
> led the Genome project that sequenced human DNA
> hold just 4% of the population but contribute 25% to the world’s GDP
> hold the oldest written national constitution that still remains in force
The birth of America was not just a win for Americans. It was a win for the entire world.
God bless America. Greatest country on the planet.
Proud to support Max and looking forward to supporting him in Ft Wayne on Saturday.
Great evening in Culver with Rep Jake Teshka and the Puruckers!
Thank you for the friendship, hospitality, and thoughtful discussion. I’m grateful for every opportunity to meet directly with delegates, answer questions, and listen to the issues that matter most as we work toward this important decision.
Looking forward to the conversations ahead and earning support one delegate at a time.
We owe so much to the brave men and women who have given the ultimate sacrifice in uniform across the globe so that we may live in a free society in the best country on the face of the earth. The sacrifice and efforts of fallen veterans and their families should never be forgotten.
Walking among these heros laid to rest atop the cliffs above Normandy Beach in France was one of the most solemn and moving experiences of my life.

The College Republicans at Indiana University fully support and endorse Max Engling for Indiana Secretary of State.
Max is a born and bred Hoosier who is lead by his faith and family. He is ready to fight for election integrity and support Indiana’s small businesses.
As a senior advisor to U.S. Senator @Jim_Banks, who is a former Chairman of the College Republicans at IU, Max has a proven record of fighting for Hoosier values. Max is also the former Vice President of the College Republicans chapter at IUPUI, and we are proud to see another CR alum stepping up to serve Indiana.

This is insane. This isn’t counting people served, it’s rides. @IndyGoBus ridership is declining, yet the 2026 budget is the largest ever at $438 million. End the Marion County transit income tax now. End the Blue Line.

Kimmel’s hateful and violent rhetoric is intended to divide our country. His monologue about my family isn’t comedy- his words are corrosive and deepens the political sickness within America.
People like Kimmel shouldn’t have the opportunity to enter our homes each evening to spread hate.
A coward, Kimmel hides behind ABC because he knows the network will keep running cover to protect him.
Enough is enough. It is time for ABC to take a stand. How many times will ABC’s leadership enable Kimmel’s atrocious behavior at the expense of our community.
For a decade now, they've claimed anyone who supported Trump or Republican policies were part of a cult and here is an honest to God TDS cult!! @DonaldTrump

🚨New: Michigan Democrat State Rep. Karen Whitsett has announced she won’t run for reelection because her Christian faith is incompatible with the Democrat Party:
“For me, it is impossible to be a faithful follower of Jesus Christ while remaining a member of the Democratic Party as it exists today. I cannot reconcile that platform with Scripture”

It's a long one, but a pretty good speech from Senator Mike Young(no relation to Todd) about not coming back for a special session.
He says its a "slap in the face to not show up when a governor calls a special session"
When broadcast TV late night comedy was about comedy, actually funny and enjoyed by a broad-spectrum of America rather than a nightly partisan political rant.
This is why Johnny Carson is THE iconic late-night talk show host:
“Why do they think that just because you have a Tonight Show that you must deal in serious issues? It’s a danger. It’s a real danger. Once you start that, you start to get that self-important feeling that what you say has great import. And you know? Strangely enough, you could use that show as a forum. You could sway people. And I don’t think you should as an entertainer.”
You can’t hate the @nytimes enough. For people who have preached at conservatives for decades about words mattering they choose this moment to use “right wing” as a description of Charlie rather than American Activist or Political Activist.

I have been involved in urban violence for 50 years, and I strive to remain realistic about my observations over the years. There is significant concern in this country regarding mass shootings involving assault rifles. However, what often receives less attention are the mass shootings in urban areas that involve both assault rifles and handguns equipped with extended magazines and switches. A lot well-meaning people believe that banning assault rifles is essential to prevent mass shootings.
For decades, I have observed elected officials implement strict legislation intended to penalize those involved in drug trafficking. Unfortunately, this has not reduced the level of drug use and trafficking in our nation. In my opinion, even if we were to ban assault rifles, they would still find their way onto the streets of America through the underground black market, as the demand for them would likely only increase. I do not believe that morality can be legislated.
For many years now, the moral fabric of our country has been in decline. You cannot legislate “Thou shalt not kill.” A moral compass or respect for the sanctity of human life cannot be mandated through legislation. Laws can declare certain actions to be wrong, but what we face is a heart issue in America. There is a spiritual crisis in our nation that is leading to a collapse of our moral fabric, manifesting itself in heinous acts of evil, such as mass shootings.
There was a time in America when biblical principles and morality were taught at home, in church, and in school, and were reinforced in neighborhoods. To all the politicians, experts, and political pundits, I don’t believe you can stop any of this without God. You cannot fix the brokenness of the soul without God. You cannot overcome the hatred and wickedness of the heart without God. We cannot overcome a culture that glorifies violence and immorality without God. Legislation won't fix what is broken in this country; only God can. Only God can transform the human heart to bring out the best in all of us. I'm sorry, only God, not legislation, can heal our nation.
