@GiffLasta Telling her son its a no win situation is telling him to play life safe. If this becomes his frame for life, he will never risk, especially when it comes to women. High schools soccer boys beat the USA women's soccer. The boys win or have reason to fight to be better.

Her son had girls challenge his team to a girls vs guys softball game. She thinks it's a no-win scenario. Is she right?

@claudiairr1 @Freyy_is Varied. Goal isn't a result, as much as maintaining awareness that Jesus and the holy spirit are there to talk to as real as someone I can physically see and touch sitting in that seat.

@AaronBudd1 @Freyy_is Hello ! What are your experiences doing that?

nobody really teaches you that you can just talk to the holy spirit like he’s right there with you because he actually is. learning to do that and then learning to hear when he responds back has been one of the most transformative things in my walk

@GiffLasta Revelation 21:5 is one of my favorite verses.

Let’s teach men and women to love each other again. Things that had grown old are being made new. Things that were cast down are being raised up. The first step is building strong men.

@GiffLasta We understand hierarchy and battle, but make the concept of vulnerability one of weakness if displayed. Then, we enter romantic relationships understanding that we need to be vulnerable to be successful and so we become terrified. Even worse, shes more skilled there than we are.

A guy in the Spring Reforged Marriage cohort: “I’ve led marines in two wars. I’m the president of a company. Why am I so timid and deferential with my wife? Especially when I do take action and am decisive, she loves it?” Y’all, why are we like this?

@edgaralandough Ngl, this post hit me in the chest this morning.

God is moving you into one of the most transformational and blessed seasons of your life, and really wants you to know that you deserve it. You've been through so much, more than anyone will ever truly know. Thank you for staying, holding onto faith, and praying through it. God divinely designed everything to grow you into the person who can receive with grace and whose testimony will bless the world. Night yall.

@beherleader Amen! Hope that today will be better than yesterday, that tomorrow will be better than today may be the only thing that gets you out of bed some days and build, repair, fight.

@MaxNordau We are in this situation culturally because No. 6 wasn't on everyone's list

7 things every kid needs to hear: 1. I love you 2. I’m proud of you 3. I’m sorry 4. I forgive you 5. I’m listening 6. Communism has failed every time it was tried 7. You’ve got what it takes

Stanford paid 35,000 people to quit Facebook and Instagram for 6 weeks Depression dropped. Anxiety dropped. Happiness went up. Women under 25 on Instagram saw the biggest gains That was 6 weeks. I'm going a full year.

@realgwill 400% value gains incoming?

I am announcing that Anderson Plumbing will be pivoting out of plumbing and into AI. Looking to IPO by next Friday.

@beherleader Really appreciate you brother! Find myself looking forward to your daily nuggets of wisdom.

Wives need to know that husbands often need respect for the burden they feel, even when they are imperfectly carrying it. A good husband feels the weight of responsibility for the household. When things feel unstable, he often moves toward trying to create structure. That can come out awkwardly or too bluntly, but the impulse underneath it is often protective, not hostile. If wives can learn to ask, “What problem do you think we’re trying to solve?” it can transform the tone of the conversation. A husband who is trying to lead may not yet have the right words, the right tone, or the right system. But if every attempt is met with instant defensiveness, mockery, shutdown, or emotional escalation, many men will either become passive or harsh. Neither helps a marriage. A wife does not strengthen her marriage by forcing her husband into discouragement. She strengthens it by helping bring out his best. That means seeing and affirming what is good in him, even while helping refine what is immature. Grace builds on nature. Encourage the good movement already there, and help it mature into virtue.

@najam_ali Youre almost there. Who is the sole mass supplier of oil where geopolitical uncertainty doesn't exist...the US may have more to gain with it closed than open.

I am genuinely struggling to understand this logic. If the rest of the world is willing to pay a small toll to Iran to keep oil flowing and stabilise markets, then why does the U.S. feel the need to block all shipping, especially when it is not dependent on that oil?

@misfitpatriot_ But he said crass things in a tweet. So, communism.

It’s gonna take years for some people to realize the decisions Trump made in this term directly led to a new wave of American exceptionalism, and prevented this country from turning into the UK. He probably won’t even be alive when he finally gets credit for saving this country from the dark and bleak trajectory we were heading down. He’s single handedly taking down the new world order by way of the new red green alliance, and he doesn’t give a fuck how many people hate him for it in the moment, because he sees the cost of not doing it while he still can. Bookmark this shit and set an alert for 2050 so you can come back and tell me I’m right.

We send men into marriage with a suit, a speech, and a stag do...then act shocked when they don’t know how to be husbands. A lot of pain could’ve been avoided by a simple letter like this from their dads the night before the wedding. A father’s letter about marriage to his son Son, Tonight you stand on the edge of a new life. Tomorrow you will speak vows that will shape your soul. You won’t just marry a woman; you will accept a mission. You will become a husband, and God will judge you as one. I want you to remember this first: marriage will not run on feelings. Feelings rise and fall like weather. Marriage runs on virtue, sacrifice, and truth. When you love your wife, you don’t merely feel warmth toward her. You will her good. You choose her good when you feel tired, when you feel misunderstood, when you feel tempted to withdraw. That choice will make you a man. Your wife will not need a perfect husband. She will need a present one. She will need a man who leads the tone of the home. When tension comes—and it will—your calm will act like a roof over her head. If you panic, if you react, if you argue like a boy trying to win, you will teach her that the home has no shelter. If you stay steady, you will teach her that she can exhale. So lead with steadiness. When she feels upset, don’t treat her emotion as an enemy to defeat. Treat it as information to understand. Ask yourself, “What is she feeling, and what does she need from me right now?” Name it simply: “You feel hurt.” “You feel scared.” “You feel alone.” That kind of clarity will lower the fire. Then you can move to action together. You don’t need to fix everything in five minutes. You need to make her feel safe with you in the storm. At the same time, do not confuse “being loving” with “being weak.” Love needs backbone. You must hold your frame: your dignity, your boundaries, your direction. Some days she will test you—not because she hates you, but because she wants to know whether you can carry weight. She wants to know whether your strength stays when her emotion rises. Meet those moments with warmth and firmness. Speak slowly. Stand tall. Choose clarity over sarcasm. A man who holds the line with kindness becomes trustworthy. Never tolerate contempt. Never feed it. If she speaks with disrespect, address it quickly and privately. Keep your voice low. Make your boundary clear. Then return to peace. When you allow disrespect, you train the marriage to rot. When you correct it with calm authority, you train the marriage to heal. Build trust through consistency. Keep your promises. Show up on time. Follow through. A wife relaxes when she knows your “yes” means yes. She will forgive many imperfections if she can rely on your word. Consistency will feel boring to you some days. It will feel like oxygen to her. Keep courting her after tomorrow. Don’t let the wedding end the pursuit. Keep dating her. Plan. Initiate. Touch her with affection. Speak admiration out loud. A woman blooms under steady cherishing. Romance does not compete with responsibility. Romance fuels it. When conflict comes, repair quickly. Pride loves delay. Pride loves silence that punishes. Choose humility instead. If you wound her, own it cleanly. Don’t justify. Don’t lecture. Don’t say “I’m sorry you feel that way.” Say, “I was wrong. I’m sorry. I will do better.” Then do better. That is how a man leads: he takes responsibility without theatrics. Make your home orderly. Create a shared mission. Decide what kind of marriage you want to build: prayerful, joyful, hospitable, disciplined, generous. Talk about money with honesty. Run a budget like a grown man. Learn the practical skills that prevent resentment: planning, chores, logistics, childcare. Don’t “help” in your own home. Own your share. Competence is love made visible. Now listen carefully about intimacy. Treat it as sacred. Your body will tempt you to take. Your vocation will call you to give. Lead with tenderness. Pursue connection, not release. Communicate. Learn her seasons. Respect her rhythms. Create emotional safety, because intimacy depends on trust. Guard your eyes and imagination like a man guarding a city gate. Porn and lust do not stay in a corner; they spread through a marriage like smoke. Purity gives you strength; strength gives her safety. Above all, put God at the center. Pray with your wife even when it feels awkward. Go to confession like a man who wants to stay clean. Go to Mass like a man who knows he needs grace. You cannot love her well on willpower alone. Grace will make your sacrifices fruitful. Virtue will make your love stable. Tomorrow you will speak vows. Speak them like a man laying his life on the altar. Then live them on Tuesday afternoons, on sleepless nights, on hard seasons, and in ordinary hours. Ordinary hours will build your marriage. Ordinary faithfulness will make you great. I love you. I’m proud of you. Now go and become the husband God calls you to be. Dad

@Hitchslap1 Anti-human losers

We need a slur for communists.

@glenn_tunes Wannabe Ragnar, your country hasn't been relevant since the age of vikings. Your military hasn't scared anyone since long boats were the pinnacle of naval tech. I'll debate the merits of the president's language with my fellow voters. Clutch your pearls and be irrelevant.

AS A NORWEGIAN I JUST WANT TO POINT OUT THAT IF OUR PM SAID BAT SHIT CRAZY SHIT LIKE THIS 24/7 HE WOULD HAVE BEEN REMOVED AND LOCKED UP IN A PSYCHIATRIC HOSPITAL 🤷 AMERICA THIS IS NOT NORMAL🙄

@Arrogance_0024 US soldiers do and have done and will do what the soldiers of other countries consider impossible in many respects because they know our country will move hell itself to bring them home. War isn't all on paper and impossible happens when men believe its possible

The "leave no man behind" doctrine is actually a strategic weakness disguised as a virtue. Name one other military on earth that destroys 6 aircraft and fights a ground battle inside a sovereign nation to recover one pilot. You can't. Because no other military confuses tactical sentimentality with strategic logic. Soldiers serve the mission. The mission doesn't serve the soldier. The US has now established that Iran can shoot down an F-15, then watch America spend $300M and expose Delta Force trying to prove it didn't happen. That's not military doctrine. That's politics with weapons. A military that cannot accept the risk of loss cannot win wars. The US hasn't won one since 1945.

I’m noticing a lot of foreigners who seem to not understand why we’d risk hundreds of lives, spend millions of dollars, and sacrifice several aircraft to rescue one guy. And the reason they don’t understand is also the reason people can’t be made American by a piece of paper.

As an Iranian watching this rescue mission unfold, I was praying the American pilot would make it out alive, not just for him, but so the Islamic Republic could not use him as a bargaining chip or claim some twisted “victory.” At the same time, I felt a deep envy. Your government sent elite special forces, million-dollar aircraft, and moved heaven and earth to bring one American home. No hesitation. No excuses. In Iran, the regime uses human shields and recruited child soldiers to clear minefields during the Iran-Iraq war. They treat their own people like disposable tools. They are now recruiting child soldiers as we speak. The Islamic Republic has zero regard for human life. That’s the brutal difference. One side risks everything to save their own. The other sacrifices their own to stay in power. This hits hard when you have lived under both realities.
