@TeamTrackhouse Another week of Tractorhouse. When are you all going to try something different? Drivers and fans deserve a lot better. Shame on you all.
@mithianme@SenAshleyMoody Gave his life in defense of the world against an evil regime. Would you sacrifice your life for the same, or hide behind a keyboard?
Today, our nation lays to rest a brave Floridian, who gave his life in service to his country.
Major Cody Khork was a patriot, a soldier, and a son.
We are forever grateful for his service and sacrifice.
🚨 JUST IN: Florida Southern College has just created an ROTC SCHOLARSHIP in honor of fallen Captain Cody Khork, who was lost to Operation Epic Fury
Well-deserved 🙏🏻
SHERIFF GRADY JUDD: "Normally, the pictures I hold up are of bad guys. This is a hero. This man went off to war at the direction of his country."
"This is Captain Cody Khork. He's 35. He's from Winter Haven."
"He was in the U.S. Army Reserves. He was called up. He died in the early days as a result of an attack."
"His family has asked that we escort him past Florida Southern College, where he went to college."
"This man is a hero, and he died in order that we can live in a free and democratic society, and he did what was asked of him of his country."
"Once he is escorted to the funeral home, which is in Winter Haven, he will remain there until he has services this weekend, and then on Monday we will escort him to Bushnell, which is his final resting place."
"From the time he arrives in Polk County on that airplane until the time we take him to Bushnell, Captain Cody will not be by himself."
"Twenty-four hours a day, seven days a week, there will be a deputy standing guard because it's the right thing to do. We're proud of him."
"We're proud of all our military personnel that are standing in the gap and doing what this country has asked of them." 🇺🇸
@EricLDaugh PLEASE DONATE IF ABLE! We reached the minimum goal but have a ways to go to make it a 4-year scholarship! First drop-down option. Thank you all, GOD BLESS! 🇺🇸

@EricLDaugh "Captain Cody will not be by himself." That line from Sheriff Judd just broke us. Respect to Florida Southern College for the scholarship, his legacy will now lead the next generation of officers. Rest easy, Captain. 🦅🫡
Today is St. Patrick’s Day, the Patron Saint of Ireland 🇮🇪✝️
Although alot of people will spend it drinking green beer and wearing plastic hats the Catholic Church celebrates the life of a great Saint who was instrumental to the preservation of Europe as we know it and for the conversion of the nation of Ireland.
Kidnapped at 16 by pagan pirates, St. Patrick was dragged from his noble family and forced into slavery in the freezing Irish wilderness.
For six brutal years, he suffered in total isolation.
He finally escaped, walked 200 miles to the coast, and made it back home. He was safe. He became a priest, then a Bishop.
But then he had a vision. God called him to go back to the exact same violent barbarians who enslaved him.
He went back to save their souls.
When the High King of Tara ordered that no fires be lit before his pagan festival, Patrick marched up the Hill of Slane and lit a massive Easter bonfire, openly challenging the king, the druids, and the penalty of death.
According to tradition, one of the high druids challenged Patrick to a supernatural duel to determine whose god was greater.
The druid invoked demons and even levitated before the crowd, but Patrick, filled with the power of Christ, commanded them to fall.
The wizard crashed to the ground and died.
Witnessing this, the king was shaken.
Convinced of God’s power, he allowed Patrick to continue preaching. Over the next 30 years, Patrick baptized thousands, converted chieftains, and used the shamrock to explain the mystery of the Trinity.
Through him, Ireland was set on the path to becoming one of the most Christian lands in Europe.
He drove literal snakes out of Ireland. He drove out demons, paganism, and human sacrifice, conquering an entire nation for Christ.
Enjoy your pint today, but remember you are celebrating a spiritual warrior, a Bishop of Holy Mother Church, a Saint who is in Heaven right now looking down on you, praying for you, praying for the Church.
His life and total devotion and faith in Our Lord Jesus Christ should be an example for all of us to follow.
Saint Patrick, pray for us! Christ is King.
Today, we honor six American heroes who made the ultimate sacrifice in service to our nation.

May God hold them in His eternal embrace and comfort their grieving families, and may God forever bless the United States of America. 🙏
God bless @USArmyReserve Captain Cody Khork from Winter Haven, Florida, here in Polk County, who died serving our country. He was an American hero, and his sacrifice will never be forgotten.
@SenAshleyMoody Senator, please ensure that Khork receives the highest recognition the state can provide. I am a close friend, and he deserves the absolute best treatment and recognition. He was a patriot, loved the 4th of July, Florida and this country. He is sorely missed.
Justin and I are praying for the Khork family tonight.
Captain Cody A. Khork of Winter Haven gave his life in service to our nation. Florida stands with his family as we honor his sacrifice.

@KamalaHarris Iran would’ve had its way with us if you were in charge. PEACE THROUGH STRENGTH only came by President Trump. Go back to obscurity, where you belong!
Donald Trump is dragging the United States into a war the American people do not want. Let me be clear: I am opposed to a regime-change war in Iran, and our troops are being put in harm’s way for the sake of Trump’s war of choice.

@NASCARONFOX Stop going to side by side commercials or skipping cautions. Coverage has been embarassingly bad so far. Take notes from Prime, who does it well!
