Rome didn't fall in love with Christianity because it was 'true.' It adopted the version that could actually govern an empire. Jesus preached in Galilee. Paul conquered the roads of Rome.

Dan, you're one of the best parts of ESPN. Probably the most genuine on air. I met you a couple of times when you were with the Lions (was neighbors with Nick Harris). Obviously you won't remember, but you wear your faith on your sleeve and are a genuine inspiration. I guarantee you're a big part of this ratings jump.

@Espngreeny Do good work With good people

Proud to share that our show just had its most watched January, and February, and March, ever. On behalf of every member of our outstanding team, who show up each day with great passion and enthusiasm, thank you very much for Getting Up with us. espnpressroom.com/us/press-relea…

@skitzomatic @JoeyCaruso3 @LegendaryEnergy Interesting, thank you. I wonder what's causing prices to go up if the cause you point to is being removed? Great point on the violent and property crime piece, lowest in 125 years, l believe.

@mattskern @JoeyCaruso3 @LegendaryEnergy Removing millions of illegals literally makes everything more affordable. And low crime literally helps everybody…

If you still support Trump, consider yourself MAGA & believe he’s “draining the swamp”, how do you explain him endorsing Lindsey Graham? I’m genuinely curious.

@skitzomatic @JoeyCaruso3 @LegendaryEnergy Great points, however I am very curious to understand how those accomplishments materially benefit your life or that of the average citizen?

@JoeyCaruso3 @LegendaryEnergy Really? Securest border ever, lowest crime rates ever, smallest federal workforce in decades, retirement accounts up, taxes down, negative net migration for the first time in 50+ years, kicking China out of the western hemisphere… Like wtf else do you want??

@mattvanswol @AAGDhillon Are you the only Matthew Van Swol in the US?

I have just heard from @AAGDhillon that the DOJ is looking into these donations made to Act Blue for candidates in Kansas in my name. I have NEVER donated to any political candidates in my life and have NEVER been to Kansas. THANK YOU!!!!!!!

@IAmClintMurphy @BenjaminPDixon I don't know enough about the subject, but isn't Hamas the primary driver of what you're describing? Or is the claim that all Palestinian civilians support Hamas and other terrorist groups in the region?

@BenjaminPDixon Then why won't it take it? Every time it's offered, why do they decline? When Israel left Gaza, instead of building a state, why'd they focus on building missiles, terror tunnels and wiping out Israel?

Palestine has the right to exist.

If the incentive is attention extraction, then the system will reward whatever achieves the highest degree of attention extraction. I'm sorry you don't understand, but visible "inefficiencies" typically mean that you're measuring for the wrong incentives and under the wrong constraints.

@mattskern @RedTeamActual @nikitabier That’s the stupidest definition of “high quality”. And I’ve seen lots of stupid.

Do you see the issue here @nikitabier? 90% of accounts on X tried to scam the system. The same system that the company you work for thought it would be a good idea fairy to implement the monetization the way X did. These clowns are posting what gets clicks, not genuine thoughtful content. They grift and they scam and will adapt and overcome to your next pay scheme. Get rid of monetization completely if you want to play “we are the news” now or have some sort of quality on here. Clearly X is incapable of making a fair monetization program.

@santucci_debra @Rosemar56697439 @JamesTate121 Is this a serious question?

@Rosemar56697439 @JamesTate121 What red city has a meth problem?

Too on point not to share, “Aussie reply to Trump rant about NATO not being there for us. Mate. You run a country with 600,000 homeless people sleeping on the street tonight. A country where 40% of adults can't cover a $400 emergency without borrowing money. A country where insulin costs more than a car payment and people are rationing it to survive. A country where medical debt is the number 1 cause of bankruptcy. A country where women are dying in hospital car parks because doctors are too scared of abortion laws to treat a miscarriage. You lock up more of your own citizens than any nation on earth. More than China. More than Russia. More than North Korea. The land of the free has 2 million people in cages, and a quarter of them haven't even been convicted of anything. They're just too poor to make bail. Your life expectancy is going backwards. You're the only developed nation where that's happening. Your infant mortality rate is worse than Cuba's. Your kids do active shooter drills between maths and English while you sell the gunmaker's stock to your mates. Your minimum wage hasn't moved in 15 years. You've got teachers working 2 jobs and veterans sleeping under bridges and you just spent a trillion dollars flattening a country that didn't attack you. And you’ve got a convicted felon, adjudicating raping, paedophile protecting, porn star shagging insurrectionist running the biggest dumpster fire war campaign since the Taliban thanked you very much for losing again. And you're calling Greenland poorly run? Greenland has universal healthcare. Free education. One of the lowest incarceration rates in the world. Nobody goes bankrupt there because they got sick. Nobody dies in a waiting room because their insurance said no. "NATO wasn't there when we needed them." When exactly was that, champ? September 11? Because NATO invoked Article 5 for the first and only time in history FOR YOU. Soldiers from dozens of countries deployed, fought, bled, and died in Afghanistan FOR YOU. Australia wasn't even in NATO and we still showed up. For 20 years. And you pulled out at 2am without telling anyone and left them to deal with the mess. So maybe before you start calling other countries poorly run, have a look at your own backyard, you spray-tanned aluminium siding salesman. The only thing poorly run in this picture is your fucking mouth. Credit (borrowed from) Jim Scroggins - original author 📷 unknown”

@ssryan6466 @RonPaul People from Australia famously get stressed over American politics. Just smile and wave

@RonPaul They deserve to be torched and thrown out!! Instead of trusting he might know wtf he's doing they jumped on the bandwagon of the Left and attacked. He is taking down the deep state, leave him alone and at least give him the full term to accomplish it all, before having a tantrum!

President Trump has shown a curious characteristic of turning on those who want to hold him to account. Right at the beginning, we had the falling out with Elon Musk over the Big Beautiful Bill. Then, to Trump voters who wanted accountability on the Epstein Files, the president wrote: "I don't want their support anymore." And now the president has attacked his biggest and most influential backers: Alex Jones, Megyn Kelly, Tucker Carlson, and Candace Owens. Why is the president burning so many important bridges? Watch @RonPaul & @ChrisRossini below:

@Frick232496 @benwfreeman1 Which ideas do you dislike the most?

@benwfreeman1 I can't imagine the f'd up mind of a person that will vote for a democrat. They're ideas are complete garbage

2026 Midterms Kalshi Ratings: House: 🔵 Democrats: 235 🔴 Republicans: 198 🟡 Tossup: 2 Senate: 🔵 Democrats: 51 🔴 Republicans: 49 🟡 Tossup: 0

@IAmClintMurphy @TheatreSpoonie @caitoz I agree with your points but am curious on your answer to the question related to Netanyahu's government facilitating payments to Hamas. You can't buy missles without money.

Don't fire rockets at Israel, Theresa. Don't attack Israel and let them live in peace. Super simple Don't attack, won't be attacked Egypt isn't being attacked by Israel, because they don't fire rockets at Israel. You're supposing that Israel is the agressor in the region and there is absolutely zero support for that. They are the defender and, fortunately for them, not the opposition, they're a very successful defender.

The world can have peace or Israel. It can’t have both.

@thermoflix2000 @ManaByte Good point, I often wonder how ones does an error.

@ManaByte Do not conflate dumb fiatearthers with people that can't believe the BS of NASA: if you do it means you are doing the same error you are criticizing

There is a reason people do not debate Flat Earthers or Moon landing deniers. It is not because the evidence is weak. It is because the conversation is rigged from the start. You can bring measurements, physics, engineering, independent tracking, international verification, and experiments they can do in their own backyard, and none of it matters. The moment the facts show up, they shout fake, edited, CGI, conspiracy, or “that’s just your belief.” You cannot debate someone who treats every piece of evidence as invalid by default. You cannot debate someone who demands proof and then rejects the proof the second it appears. You cannot debate someone who thinks their personal disbelief outranks measurable reality. A debate requires both sides to accept evidence. Flat Earth and Moon landing denial collapse the moment evidence enters the room, so the only move left is to deny the room exists. That is why people do not debate them. Not because the globe is fragile, but because the argument they bring is. You cannot have a real discussion with someone who decided ahead of time that nothing you show them will ever count.

@bennyjohnson @grok, what is the demographic breakdown of baby births in the listed states?

Census Data Shows That RED States Are Having a Baby Boom, Blue States Are COLLAPSING in Population Blue state populations continue to collapse as third-world legal and illegal migrants PLUNGE under Trump -- while Red America is fostering growing American families. Provisional Census data shows 10 out of 16 states that had MORE babies in Feb 2026 vs. Feb 2025 were RED. This paired with the COLLAPSE of blue city populations and leftist extinctionist ideology means the demographic writing is on the wall. These trends will spell DOOM for the Democrat Party...

@Train0M42248 @PrezLives2022 Tell 'em train0, vibes and feelings over facts and laws.

FYI… Trump cannot dissolve NATO membership because it takes 2/3 of the Senate to do so. To leave, the President requires either a two-thirds vote in the Senate or a joint act of Congress. This measure restricts federal funds from supporting a unilateral withdrawal. All of you celebrating Trump leaving NATO may be a bit premature.

@1ne_deep00 @MeghanMcCain I appreciate your opinion. Can you tell me what about my statement you find displeasing?

@mattskern @MeghanMcCain Very retarded words

Inject this straight into my veins.

@PastorSteve Pastor Steve, how can one find Jesus?

Trump has been with us a long time. We ought to know him by now. 1987 The Art of the Deal became a huge #1 bestseller for 13 weeks. Tells you how he negotiates. 2004-2015 The Apprentice reality TV on NBC. Tells you how he leads by hard work, decisive action, rewarding loyalty and ruthlessly eliminating weakness. 2015-2026 Presidential candidate three times & President twice. He ruthlessly mocked Republican candidates, then appointed some of them to his cabinet. He got more prominent Democrats to switch over to him than any other President — Elon Musk, Joe Rogan, RFK Jr., Mike Flynn (yes a lifelong Democrat appointed by Obama), Tulsi Gabbard, Sylvester Stallone, Caitlyn Jenner, Kanye West, 50 Cent, Nicki Minaj, etc. Trump knows how to negotiate and make deals. It’s his life calling. He talks like this to terrorists. He isn’t talking to you. Simmer down and get a grip. Let him work. You hired him to be America’s President, not the world’s pastor. Iran will be defeated. Iranians will be liberated from 47 years of Islamic dictatorship.

@LauraLoomer Ms. Loomer, why are you so angry? Sincerely want to understand where the hatred is rooted. Makes me feel like I'm missing something not being that angry.

This dirty rat has turned off the ability for most people to comment on her posts. I want to see Ilhan Omar and her family raided by ICE and removed from our country by ICE. If ICE has to drag her by her sweaty hijab kicking and screaming Allahu Akbar, I do not care. Just get this jihadist invader out of our country on a plane back to Somalia.

@StockMKTNewz @grok, who was the president for these different intervals. Please list with corresponding political party.

@FoxTrueCrime "Fragments and whatnot" feels very scientific.

🚨🚨🚨 NOT SO FAST — Experts are debunking claims from the defense team for Charlie Kirk's accused assassin, Tyler Robinson, that argue an ATF report about inconclusive ballistic testing could be "exculpatory" in the case against him. "The defense has been provided with an ATF summary report which indicates that the ATF was unable to identify the bullet recovered at autopsy to the rifle allegedly tied to Mr. Robinson," reads a new filing seeking to postpone his preliminary hearing once again. But experts say inconclusive testing on a fired bullet doesn't mean the match has been ruled out, and investigators have compiled other evidence in the case — including allegations that Robinson confessed or implied guilt to family and friends. "It's not uncommon for a round that went through a human body, especially if it traveled through tissue, to say conclusively that it's tied to a specific firearm, because by nature the projectile is supposed to transfer all of its kinetic energy, and it often disintegrates into fragments and whatnot," said Bernard Zapor, a former ATF special agent in charge and faculty associate at Arizona State University. "The fact that it went through several bone structures, there was going to be very little left."
