@BlastingThrough I guess it doesn't pay to be a hothead, right? 😁

From 1992 to 1996, I was the Joint Special Operations Command (JSOC) Exercise Sergeant Major. This May 1995 photo was taken in Jordan. One night in the tent, I had an unusual bed partner. I was sleeping on the ground in my sleeping bag. In the morning one of the guys noticed that a horned viper was snuggled up for warmth – just next to my head. I lay there until the snake was dealt with. The desert, like every environment I had operated in, demanded respect and constant awareness.

@angelflesh3 Nope

does anyone actually like these

@hoshizorarock No cocaine please!! But Coca-Cola with cheese is delightful 😋

How it started vs ...

@vbspurs Whoops, I almost caught that "bless you" but it bounced off me and landed on mum. 😁

@InfectiousMasc1 Bless you, dear one!

I've ordered ready-made meatloaf from the prepared food section of the supermarket. Mum has a bit of a toothache and can't masticate well. If you would be so kind, please pray Mum's tooth gets better.

アメリカ人よ🇺🇸 どちらに回っているように見える？👀 右回りに見えると天才らしい👀

@TiffMoodNukes Wow, that's amazing!

Sober Birthday Today! 🎉 Twenty-one years ago today, I ended my relationship with alcohol It was poisoning me. It was deceiving me. It was controlling me I was addicted to a dangerous companion that held a power over my life I didn’t fully recognize. Alcohol is often referred to as “spirits,” and for many, it can lead into places of darkness, despair, and self-destruction One morning, while sober and deeply dissatisfied with the reflection staring back at me, I looked into the mirror and made a life-changing decision. Instead of turning to alcohol, I turned to Spirit I meditatively prayed: “I am listening. Guide me. I am ready to change. I am ready for healing, purpose, and happiness” With unwavering determination, faith, and guidance through God’s Word, I chose a different path I confided in only a handful of trusted people as I began my journey. Some friends and even family members stopped inviting me out because I was no longer their “drinking party girl.” There were moments of temptation. There were tests and challenges. But I refused to return to the darkness, recklessness, and emptiness I had left behind I took it one day at a time, moment to moment Just four months later, I had lost 19 pounds, was exercising four days a week, and had started a small business. I looked and felt damn good ya’ll! More importantly, I had reclaimed my life And I have remained sober ever since I did it! ❤️ If sharing my story helps even one person who is struggling with addiction, then it is worth telling Today, I pray for everyone fighting the battle of addiction—the demonic winnable war within May God speak to your heart, and may you have the courage to listen There is hope. There is healing. There is freedom One. Day. At. A. Time. 🙏🏾🪷

@KingBobIIV Aww thanks!

About 6 weeks or so ago, a friend of mine was awoken by her toddler saying, "mummy! Small cats are coming out of our cat!" She didn't know the cat was pregnant. Anyway... after much massive watery big blue eyes manipulation from my little girl, we welcome James. James the cat. He's beautiful. youtu.be/HpPxBrMy7lo?is…

@brian_t_muldoon @carolmswain Shaun King for Pres? I don't know dude. 🤔

@carolmswain We could elect a gay white man pretending to be a straight black man president and he will magically fix everything.

“There is a sickness in black subculture in contemporary America, and the sickness is this: Too many young black males are immersed in a socio-racial ideology that glorifies violence, preaches that only the meanest dog on the block wins, and dictates that any perceived threat from anyone who “steps up to me” must be countered with a wildly disproportionate, overwhelming response.” I concur. What are we going to do about it? #KarmeloAnthony #blackcrime

@elsathora @ball_knower69_ Don't listen to those negative comments. Those people are snobs. The reason they don't like Golden Corral is because they don't want to be seen there. It's has nothing to do with the food which is perfectly fine, working class American fare. If you like it, then it's good 👍🏻

@ball_knower69_ Oh no don’t scare me

I just had an out of body experience

@SenseiOfSarcasm It's a pretty cool mechanism for sorting out weirdos.

Same. Some of the only people I can tolerate speaking to out loud, I met here.

@The_Crack_Emcee @Rothmus Lol! Quoting Wolfe about anything is kind of like taking relationship advice from Friar Laurence. It's wrong and bound to be disastrous if used. 😂 😂

"Democrats are not just scoring points. They genuinely feel disgust at what they see." "The thing that we can that we can safely predict, whatever [Trump] does will be about him. Whatever he does will be about how he wants people to think about him. Whatever he does will be about wanting people to think about him in any way possible, as long as they are thinking about him." - Michael Wolfe, Donald Trump's biographer

I believe them. Democrats are not just scoring points. They genuinely feel disgust at what they see. Trump shares the taste of a working class American so all these middle class overeducated Democrats look down on him and “hillbillies” for the exact same reason. Their status depends on believing refined taste equals superiority. Anything bold, loud, or fun without their approval gets labeled crass and uneducated. But much of it is distinctly American, and that’s exactly why they hate it and consequently America because of it.

@buggirl This is why humans, and not monkeys, rule the world

in nature if a monkey hoarded 1 trillion bananas the other monkeys would beat that monkey to death and take his bananas

@elsathora Well I got all but 2

My USA trip bucket list: - See an eagle - Meet Guy Fieri - Witness a B-2 flyover - Shoot a gun - Eat at waffle house at 1am - Go to a rodeo - Eat southern comfort food - Visit a state fair

@vbspurs My favorite right is Genesee NA. That's right, I admit it. Do your worst X! 😂😂😂

Ohhhh. Well shucks. I'm not having that Modelo crap. American beer only!

@brent64624136 @SoveyX She's proud of the stereotype. 😂 😂

@InfectiousMasc1 @SoveyX That's so funny

“I try now. Good luck everyone else.”

@PatBD3 @mattvanswol @SenWarren And it's a horrible idea, completely extra constitutional and answers to nobody. 🙄 Try again

@mattvanswol @SenWarren Senator Elizabeth Warren originally proposed the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau (CFPB) in 2007 and was instrumental in its establishment under the Dodd-Frank Act which serves as a financial watchdog designed to protect Americans from predatory lending, hidden bank fees, etc

Elon Musk just became the world's first trillionaire. The typical American household would have to work more than 11 MILLION years to make Elon Musk's level of wealth. We need a wealth tax.

@corwinsfo @mattvanswol @SenWarren "A lot more than that" is not an answer to the question. Got receipts? Show your work.

@mattvanswol @SenWarren Seriously go fuck yourself dude, she has done a lot more than that we deserve all the shitty stuff that's gonna happen to the U..S. The astounding lack of education in this country. Let me guess you're also a multiple time Trump voter. Elon musk is the king of u. S. Welfare...
