DREAM MAKER | SHAWN

Celebrating today: I have not had an alcoholic beverage in 51 months! Alcohol free since 1.1.22 one day, one moment, at a time. I drank daily for over 40 years. You can do this if, and only if, you: Make an unbreakable covenant with yourself to never drink again under any circumstance. And when you do, your life will get better and better. I’ve never met a person who regrets this decision. #recoveryposse

@soberheadz 4 years, 4 months, 14 days, whatever that adds up to…. Almost 1600 days maybe. (After 40 plus years of hard drinking)

Community check-in: What day sober are you today? Day 1 or Day 1000, doesn’t matter here. Drop your number below. Someone scrolling might realize it’s possible for them too.

Real American history

@OleTimeHardball The Great One 21 Retire the number

Game 7 of the World Series. Bottom of the 9th and the game is tied. Rickey Henderson is on 2nd and Tony Gwynn lines a single into RF You have your choice of any RF, of any era, to try and nab Henderson at Home. Who gets the call?

@mchooyah @OleTimeHardball Unless going to the World Series is on the line and you gotta make a throw from shallow left to nail a limping runner Check his post-season stats when he was with Pittsburgh

@OleTimeHardball Every dude on here knows, with money (a lot of money) on it… you’re taking Barry Bonds. Stop pretending you’re above it😂

You have your choice of any player, in his prime, to fill this DH spot. Who gets the call?

@PaulMayne6 Oh, for goodness sakes if it’s not Roberto Clemente, the great one you know nothing about baseball

Who’s your all-time favorite right fielder that’s NOT a Tiger? I’ll go first … Tony Oliva 👍⚾️

I don’t give a shit

This is awesome!

FLASHBACK: Loved this video of Rep. Wesley Hunt DESTROYING Democrats who say black people can't get voter ID: "Sitting with me is my global entry card...driver's license...what SORCERY is this?! Am I the black Houdini?" "My military ID card, my Texas driver's license, my Texas license to carry because that's how we roll in Texas, my congressional card, and of course the good old fashioned American passport." "How was I able to pull off the impossible and attain not one, not two, not three, but six government issue IDs?!" "Personal responsibility in this country. I fought for this country as an Apache helicopter pilot to protect free and fair elections and having a government issued ID as a racist." "It's American. You need to have an ID to drive a car to check into the airport. Open back account. You need an ID for basically everything to be a responsible adult in this country except for voting, apparently according to the left!" REPOST and amplify this leader's voice! #thinblueline #lawenforcement

@1992Pirates Scrap iron

@Sober_lifestyl Only 100 percent

@JamalBrownRaw Yeah Jamal, right on my brother. I’m right on that same timeline after 40plus years of heavy drinking. I’m not perfect but I’m so much better!

I’ve tried getting sober a few times and fell right back into my drinking ways. Multiple stints in jail, ruined marriage & friendships, lost jobs you name it I experienced it. My name is Jamal Brown and I’m a fucking drunk. I’m also 4.5 years sober. If I can get sober so can you

You decide!!! No Kings explained for people who think they're fighting fascism. You're standing in a crowd on Saturday. You look around and think yeah. No Kings. This is what democracy looks like. Bro. You're holding a sign made by a communist billionaire who lives in Shanghai. You live in a constitutional republic. Elections. Term limits. A free press that spent four years calling the president a fascist without one journalist being arrested. The modern left's definition of fascism: You love your country? Fascist. You want to enforce the border? Racist. You think parents should raise their kids? Bigot. You want to know who's voting in your elections? Jim Crow. Being patriotic is fascism to the modern left. But every country has borders and enforces them. 176 countries require ID to vote. That's the definition of a country. But the Democratic establishment told you otherwise. And you believed them. Congress has a 15% approval rating. 80% of Americans disapprove. 97% of incumbents got re-elected. Chuck Schumer. 46 years. Longer than Stalin. Steny Hoyer. 45 years. Longer than Mao. Mitch McConnell. 42 years. 5x more than Napoleon. Nancy Pelosi. 39 years. Longer than Henry VIII. Maxine Waters. 35 years. Longer than Mussolini. Bernie Sanders. 35 years. Triple Hitler's entire reign. Trump. 5 years and 3 months. Won the popular vote and the electoral vote. But Trump is the king. Okay buddy. You don't hate kings. You hate kings that aren't yours. And Saturday they had you in the streets carrying their water. The Democratic Party installed a president without letting you vote. Biden quit on a Sunday. By Tuesday your queen was crowned. No primary. No debate. No ballot. First time since 1968. Three days before your march every Senate Democrat voted against photo ID to vote. During COVID you carried a vaccine card everywhere like a hall pass from the government just to eat at a restaurant. But getting a birth certificate or waiting two hours at the DMV to prove you're a citizen before you vote? That's oppression. The Democratic Party is pro illegal immigration. Counts non-citizens in the Census. Census determines congressional seats. More non-citizens means more seats means more power. No voter ID means no way to check. That's how you keep power without wearing a crown. Biden built a censorship machine. Pressured Facebook to suppress true information and admitted it in writing. Censored scientists. Censored doctors. Censored JOKES. The Biden White House told Facebook to remove "humor and satire." They literally went after people for making fun of them. UK does it better tho... Everything they censored turned out to be right. They just outsourced the silencing to Silicon Valley. And it doesn't stop at speech. The extreme left justifies taking children from families. Six thousand schools rewrite children's identities without telling parents. And the State has the right to intervene. The Hitler Youth did this. Mao's Red Guards did this. The Soviets built statues of a child who reported his own father. Same playbook. During Covid, your bakery got shut down. Church closed. You couldn't hold your dying mother's hand at the hospital. But thousands packed together during BLM to burn Minneapolis and THAT was essential civic engagement. Obviously. $2 billion in damage. 25 dead. 2,000 cops injured. 20 states burning. VP Kamala promoted a bail fund for the rioters. No investigation. No hearings. January 6. One building. Few hours. 1,000 prosecuted. Two years of televised hearings. Kings decide which violence counts. The left decided. Charlie Kirk spent his life walking onto campuses asking for honest debate. He was assassinated. CSIS terrorism database. 2025 is the first year in 30 years that left-wing attacks outnumber right-wing. Yet no one brings this up. 75% of liberal students say preventing a speaker from talking is justified. 27% say violence is acceptable.

@yinzer_g Even though I can’t stand where he played in college, Lavar Arrington was a beast

Mt Rushmore for WPIAL football. (I know, I know, the images look really bad. Deal with it. Also, only those who made the Pro Football Hall of Fame were considered) Would you change any?

5/8 TGiF 🤔’s from Holmes Beach 🏝️ 😎 🤔 I've learned a lot since COVID 2020. I learned that things don't always turn out the way you planned, or the way you think they should. And I've learned that there are things that go wrong that don't always get fixed or get put back together the way they were before. YI've learned that some broken things stay broken, and I've learned that you can get through bad times and keep looking for better ones, as long as you have people who love you. Make a difference today Love Clint

@TheSports_Shift There aren’t any

50+ years in baseball. 17 as an MLB manager. over 2,500 games from the dugout. I won Manager of the Year and also lost more games than I want to count. I led teams through losing seasons and took a team to the World Series. The biggest difference was leadership. If I could go back to my first day as a leader, here are the 5 lessons I'd whisper in my own ear: Lesson 1: Be a window when it's good, a mirror when it's bad. The leaders I respected most shared every win and absorbed every hit. What this looks like in practice: • Wins: name the people who made it happen • Losses: say "that's on me" before anyone asks • Locker room: spotlight the effort before the outcome Your team will fight harder for a leader who deflects credit and absorbs blame. Lesson 2: Nobody hands you trust. You earn it before you coach it. Early in my career, plenty of coaches tried to fix my swing. I tuned out every one I didn't trust. Get to know your people before you try to develop them. Their hobbies, their family, what makes them tick. Then the coaching lands. Lesson 3: Shower well after every loss. After a losing streak in Colorado, our team president asked me how I kept the clubhouse together. This was my rule: • Self-evaluate honestly, were we prepared, did we execute? • Shower well, wash off the grit, grime, and angst before you walk out • Be present for whoever you're going home to Tomorrow is a new opportunity. Don't drag yesterday into it. Lesson 4: Lead transformationally, not transactionally. Transactional leaders ask: what can this person do for me? Transformational leaders ask: how do I put this person in a position to win? The first builds compliance. The second builds careers. When your people start chasing growth instead of your approval, you've crossed over. Lesson 5: Stay humble before life humbles you. There are two kinds of people in this world: those who are humble, and those who are about to be. Discipline keeps you in the first group: Skill gets you in the room. Humility keeps you there. 50 years taught me leadership isn't about you. It's about the people you serve. @Rockies

The Left doesn’t debate. They rewrite the dictionary to hide reality. They rename uncomfortable truths with soft, clinical, or “compassionate” language so opposition sounds hateful. This is Orwellian Newspeak in real time. Here’s an exhaustive list: • Illegal aliens / illegal immigrants → “undocumented migrants” or “people who immigrated” (erases the crime entirely) • Genital mutilation / puberty blockers + sex-change surgeries on kids → “gender-affirming care” • Gender dysphoria (recognized mental disorder) → “being trans” / “transgender identity” (now celebrated, no therapy needed) • Mother → “birthing person” or “birthing parent” • Woman / female → “pregnant people” / “menstruating persons” / “chest feeder” / “person with a uterus” • Breastfeeding → “chest feeding” • Biological sex (male/female) → “sex assigned at birth” (implies doctors just guessed) • Normal biological people → “cisgender” (invents a label to make the default weird) • Homeless → “unhoused” or “experiencing homelessness” (removes any personal responsibility) • Equality (equal opportunity) → “equity” (forced equal outcomes by identity) • Riots, looting, arson, violence → “mostly peaceful protests” or “uprising” or “civil disturbance” • Prostitution → “sex work” / “sex trade” (turns exploitation into a job) • Abortion → “reproductive rights” / “reproductive healthcare” / “my body my choice” / “pregnancy termination” • Pedophilia / minor attraction → “minor-attracted persons” (MAPs) • Criminals / prisoners / thieves → “justice-involved individuals” • Slave → “enslaved person” (shifts focus to perpetual victimhood) • Affirmative action / racial quotas / preferences → “Diversity, Equity & Inclusion” (DEI) • Censorship / banning speech → “content moderation” or “combating misinformation” • Obesity / fat → “plus-sized” / “larger-bodied” / “body positivity” • Islamic terrorism → “violent extremism” or “man-caused disaster” • Biological male in women’s sports/spaces → “trans woman athlete” / “trans athlete” • Defund the police / cut policing → “reimagine policing” or “public safety investment” • Poor / on welfare → “economically disadvantaged” / “food insecure” / “underserved communities” • Global warming → “climate crisis” / “climate emergency” (amps the urgency when data doesn’t) This isn’t politeness. It’s strategic. Change the words → change the debate → make truth “hate speech.” Once the old accurate terms are banned, you literally can’t discuss reality anymore. What other examples am I missing?

@BTCBreadMan Make him buy his own car

Took my 16 year old to look at cars today. At first he loved the Toyota Camry we looked at, but when he saw the seats were cloth he hard vetoed it. They have another one with leather seats, but it’s an XLE and costs $5k more. How can I change his mind so I can save some money?
