My youngest boys have a globe in their room. This morning they were looking at it and said, “Daddy, why does it say Philippians?” 🤣 #churchkids

@BenjaminSWatson The best part was reading this aloud to my wife, and she knew exactly who’d tweeted it.

Fascinating example of how social media works today… (LONG POST) Saw a display in the BHM airport honoring the Tuskegee Airmen. Like 99.999% of Americans, I’m Team 🇺🇸… especially over Nazis. Posted it. Most responses were what you’d expect likes, RTs, patriotism. Then the algorithm shifted. Started seeing a wave of replies saying: “Tuskegee success was a myth. Just PR. DEI BS” The argument? They had fewer aerial kills than other escort groups, so therefore it was all BS. So I paused and did a real deep dive looked for actual historical data from the official Air Force accounts and historians. Here’s what I found…. They were right. They did have less aerial kills the other fighter groups. However….. The SAME data being used to discredit them tells a completely different story if you read the whole reports. Yes, they had fewer kills. But here’s the data that they omitted: Bombers lost under escort (same theater, same aircraft): • Tuskegee Airmen: 27 • Other groups: ~49, 68, 88 That’s not spin. That’s the mission. Escort fighters weren’t there to run up kill counts, they were there to protect bombers. And by that measure, the 332nd was one of the most effective groups in the war. Why did they have less aerial kills? Was it because they were less skilled? Historians pointed out the 332nd was known for staying disciplined and stuck with the bombers while others groups tended to often peel off chasing kills. So both things can be true: • Fewer kills • More bombers protected But here’s the social media lesson: Same report. Same data. One side cherry-picks “lowest kills” = “they weren’t good” But they “conveniently” left out the part where they protected bombers better than anyone. What I observed? 2 things. 1) Most of the accounts pushing the “myth” angle? Burner accounts, fake names…,people that hid behind a vague account names 2) Setting the record straight wasn’t the goal of the “myth” posters, it was for them to get their personal beliefs off without the actual information they claimed to have used. Anyway… Team America 🇺🇸🫡

Everytime I fly out of Birmingham I’m reminded of one of the most bad ass quotes of all time. 🇺🇸

@MonaVogele Thanks Mona. It was wonderful meeting you and hearing about your book. Thanks for taking time to talk to me. The trafficking topic is hard to comprehend. I’m glad you are involved in that fight for the good. 🙏🏿

@BenjaminSWatson Great meeting you today at Training Camp. You definitely shared some powerful stories. The Mia story hit personally—recently, I’ve spoken to communities and businesses on human trafficking for O.U.R., so I’ve been exposed to stories that are hard to hear, but should be. Your honest delivery doesn’t just move people in the moment—it challenges how they show up after. Appreciate the impact.

If a young man in his 20’s comes up to you and says “Man! My dad used to KILL me with you on @EAMaddenNFL” does that mean you are old? 🤔 Asking for a friend.

@El_Mayimbe7 @markingramII Pure ignorance by folks who know nothing about nothing. They asked me last year and I was honored. I was only on the field one year too. Ravens are that kind of organization, first class. And that fan base is loyal.

Love it @Eagles. 🇳🇬 Smart move by the NFL. Expand the global interest of the game. But a guy who never played football is about to play DL in the league? This is going to be an epic movie or a “fart in the wind.” lol
