@Agent_Turnage Spent 2 hours getting car repairs last week. About half the time was spent listening to a woman’s phone conversations on speaker phone.

I will truly never understand how people can be so selfish and inconsiderate- they have their phones full full blast with no head phones. It is becoming more and more common.

This morning at PIT, so many TSA employees expressed their appreciation for standing with them and shared their financial hardship. End this ridiculous DHS shutdown NOW. Pay these hardworking TSA agents and all DHS employees who collectively keep our country more secure.

Been at ESPN a long time - this one was an all timer. Before social media, it was as viral as a story can be. I watched it on a tape in the news room. I couldn’t stop watching his teammates.

19 years ago, a high school basketball coach put his team manager into a game for the final four minutes. The kid had never played a single minute of competitive basketball in his life. He scored 20 points. Jason McElwain was diagnosed with severe autism at age two. He didn’t speak until he was five. He couldn’t chew solid food until he was six. He wore a nappy for most of his early childhood. As a baby, he was rigid, wouldn’t make eye contact, and hid in corners away from other children. He tried out for his school basketball team every year and got cut every time. Too small. Too slight. Barely 5’6 and about 54 kilograms. But he loved the game so much that his mum called the school and asked if there was any way he could be involved. The coach created a team manager role for him. For three years, McElwain showed up to every practice and every game. He wore a shirt and tie on match days. He ran drills, handed out water, kept stats, and cheered every basket like he’d scored it himself. On 15 February 2006, the last home game of his final school year, the coach let him suit up in a proper jersey and sit on the bench. With four minutes left and a comfortable lead, the coach sent him in. His first shot missed. His second missed. Then something shifted. He hit a three-pointer. Then another. Then another. His teammates stopped shooting entirely and just kept passing him the ball. He hit six three-pointers and a two-pointer. 20 points in four minutes. The highest scorer in the game. When the final buzzer went, the entire crowd rushed the court and lifted him onto their shoulders. His mum tapped the coach on the shoulder, in tears. “This is the nicest gift you could have ever given my son.” McElwain won the ESPY Award for Best Moment in Sports that year, beating out some of the biggest names in professional sport. He’s 36 now. He works at a local supermarket, coaches basketball, has run 17 marathons including five Boston Marathons, and travels the country speaking about never giving up. When asked about that night, his coach still gets emotional. “For him to come in and seize the moment like he did was certainly more than I ever expected. I was an emotional wreck.”

An elderly man named Richard came out of retirement to deliver food for DoorDash because he and his wife were struggling to pay their bills. A customer watched on her doorbell camera as he slowly climbed the steps to deliver her order. She later learned he was working again in his 80s just to get by. She gave him a $200 tip and started a fundraiser. Strangers stepped in, raising over $80,000 to help him retire again. Sometimes the internet gets it right. ❤️

Really telling just how heavily the league leaned into signing young players on Day 1 of free agency. By my count, 40 players signed deals with an AAV of $10 million or more and just five of them were 30 or older.

They want you to be ashamed of the American Dream Your grandpa showed up with a suitcase and $40. Didn't speak the language. Didn't know anyone. Washed dishes until he could afford something better. Saved enough to buy a truck. Started a business. Then bought the building. Your grandma watched it happen. And she raised four kids to believe they could do it too. That's the American Dream. It never mattered if you were born here or came on a boat. What mattered was what you were willing to build. A kid grows up on a cattle farm in the middle of nowhere Nebraska. His dad never finished high school. His mom works the register at the only store in town. Nobody in his family has ever left the state. He tinkers with engines after school. Builds things out of scrap. Shows up to college with everything he owns in the back of a pickup truck. Ten years later he's running a manufacturing company. Not because his parents had connections. Not because someone handed him a trust fund or a last name that opened doors. Because this is America. And in America, you're allowed to try. You're allowed to dream. And the numbers prove it. ~23 million millionaires in this country. 79% of them are self-made. 902 billionaires. More than anywhere else on the planet. 13 out of the 15 richest people in the world are American. 73% self-made. They didn't inherit empires. They built them. In garages. In dorm rooms. In strip malls. On kitchen tables. Jeff Bezos never knew his biological father. He started Amazon out of a garage and couldn't afford a desk so he bought a door from Home Depot and screwed four legs onto it. Larry Ellison was abandoned by his mother at nine months old. His adoptive father told him he'd never amount to anything. He dropped out of college twice and built Oracle into a $200 billion empire. Oprah was born into poverty in rural Mississippi to a single teenage mother. She became the most influential media figure on the planet. Three people who had every reason to fail. Look what they built instead. Tell me where else a broke kid with no connections can build a billion-dollar company and nobody asks who his father was. You won't find it. Because every other system on this planet was built to keep people where they were born. Castes. Classes. Last names. Bloodlines. Old money. Old power. America was built to break all of it. An entire generation has been brainwashed into being ashamed of it. They taught your kids that this country was built on nothing but slavery and genocide. They put it in the textbooks. The movies. Every feed. Until your 19-year-old can't say "I love my country" without feeling like he has to apologize. They told you the American Dream was a lie sold to keep people down. 53 million people born in other countries chose to live here. 71% of them say they'd do it all over again. They didn't pick France. They didn't pick Germany. They didn't pick China. They picked here. Because they already know what you've been gaslit into forgetting. Don't let them do this to you. Don't let some professor who's never built anything tell your kids that the country their great-grandparents bled for is irredeemable. Don't let some activist with a blue check convince you that a nation of 22.7 million self-made millionaires is a monument to oppression. Don't let a politician shame you into believing that the people who build are the villains. Every time this country creates greatness, they tell us to apologize for it. And don't you dare let a foreigner who's never set foot here tell you what your country is. They've never watched a janitor's daughter become a surgeon. They've never seen a single mom put herself through night school and end up running the department. They've never sat at a Thanksgiving table where five different accents argue about football and nobody thinks twice. That's not some ad, it's a Thursday. Somewhere right now a kid is lying on the floor of a studio apartment doing homework while his mom works a double. He doesn't have a trust fund. He doesn't have a single connection that matters. But he's got a shot. A real one. Because he lives here. And if you let them take that from him, what are you even defending? This is the country that looked at the moon and said "we choose to go, not because it is easy, but because it is hard." So build. I hope you understand what's at stake.
