@Irish_Cowboy88 Nah. If we're looking for the best backup QB who went on to become a starter, you need to look a little harder in Big D.

@JohnCornyn Whatever. I'm just thankful the end is indeed near.

“Now this is not the end. It is not even the beginning of the end. But it is, perhaps, the end of the beginning.” Winston Churchill

@JohnCornyn Come on, Senator. Surely someone on your social media team knew how the comments to this were going to go. Maybe they don’t like you, either.

An old, but apt fable: A scorpion wants to cross a river but cannot swim, so it asks a frog to carry it across. The frog hesitates, afraid that the scorpion might sting it, but the scorpion promises not to, pointing out that it would drown if it killed the frog in the middle of the river. The frog considers this argument sensible and agrees to transport the scorpion. Midway across the river, the scorpion stings the frog anyway, dooming them both. The dying frog asks the scorpion why it stung despite knowing the consequence, to which the scorpion replies: "I am sorry, but I couldn't help myself. It's my character." @Wikipedia

@MisyDP @LewisDT2024 Always smart to post your little scams on social media. No one wlll ever know … until you get that one RT that lights the fuse!

People taking advantage of the lax return policies of major corporations are a problem. Yes, it’s allowed, but they also flag your account, and if you try it again you will get caught. I just don’t operate this way.

@OleTimeHardball I actually went to this game in 2001. Luis Gonzalez did a pretty fine job then. I think I'll stick with him.

Game 7 of the World Series. Bottom of the 9th, bases are loaded, 2 outs, and your team is down by 1 Mariano Rivera is on the mound. You have your choice of any hitter, of any era, in his prime. Who gets the call?

@TheCalvinCooli1 There might be a hint somewhere in this for @LeaderJohnThune.

The U.S. Senate will lose 4 of the biggest RINO following the 2026 midterms👇 Mitch McConnell (Kentucky) Bill Cassidy (Louisiana) Thom Thills (North Carolina) John Cornyn (Texas)

@TomEDewey1948 It's not hate in my case. Just profound disappointment. Cornyn was marketed as an arch conservative when he came out of the TX Supreme Ct but he was just a go along/get along squish. A state as conservative as Texas deserves better.

Never understood the Cornyn hate. He was a standard Republican who always supported the party whether it was ran by Bush, McCain, Romney, or Trump. twitter.com/NickyScatz/sta…

Yes, of course. Unless you don't have that kind of income. In which case you live below your means, save & invest like a madman & get rich too. The docs & lawyers will drive flashier cars, have nicer homes & take stunning vacations in their 30s & 40s. The rest of us can get there by our 50s or 60s.

Everyone talks about guys making $60k investing and getting rich… while the guys making $200k+ end up broke. Nah. The guys I play tennis/hockey/golf with are mostly high earning doctors, dentists, lawyers & biz owners. And are rich. Income matters, that’s reality.

@amyklobuchar Please, Please, Please Democrats. Please pour $$$ into Texas. Lucy is going to let Charlie Brown kick the football, and you're going to turn Texas blue!

Talarico is going to win this.

@TruckerDanUSA Guilty as charged. Maybe a half dozen days a year I need it to get me through the snow to my business, and it does, and that’s why I got it!

This should explain 80% of Jeep owners. I’m not stopping, not giving up. When in doubt, post more. Maybe I can pickup a spam label!

@BuzzPatterson Best thing you'll see on the internet all day.

This is just too cool! Pilots are cool. This makes me happy!😎🤣❤️

@AwakenedOutlaw @LeaderJohnThune was already holding the country hostage before the Cornyn temper tantrum brought it into view for casuals. Requiring voter ID is the most basic common sense measure to protect free & fair elections, but he obstructs it & gaslights us.

Senate leadership considers the Senate chamber theirs, not the People’s. And it’s sickening. Sen. John Thune, a life long RINO gasbag, is mad for a few reasons… one being that John Cornyn is going to get voted off the island with his opponent (Ken Paxton) getting Trumps endorsement. So, now he’s essentially holding the county hostage as a result. Oh, and did I mention that without the SAVE America Act, there’s a good chance that our Republic could be lost? Who here voted for President John Thune? I sure as hell didn’t.

@BlackLabelAdvsr Sooner or later the day may come when I regret that I have zero neighbors within shouting distance. But it hasn't happened yet.

I see these neighborhoods being built in Texas and I’m trying to figure out who in their right mind would buy a mansion with zero lot lines. Like, you could do a handshake through your kitchen window. Insane! Please make it make sense.

@1Nicdar I survived a rollover crash. I'm 100% fine with wearing a seatbelt every time.

When traveling in a vehicle, do y'all wear a seatbelt? Be honest? (I almost never wear one)

@johnkonrad The middle class hack to avoid having a devastated 401k in a selloff is DO NOT SELL. You haven't lost a thing until you sell. It always rebounds. Just tell yourself "Stocks are on sale!" and keep adding.

Of course we’ll have a crash. We have one every 10 years. That’s how they wipe out the middle class. They get a signal. Pull their money and short the market. Jump back in once 401k’s are devastated. Drop interest rates to boost the market. Basic sell high, buy low strategy. I’m just guessing they’ll have to wait till another Democrat is in office to pull it off.

@SCHDaccumulator That's what you do. Read the Peter Lynch books, then train your brain to celebrate every purchase you consider, but decide against. Save. Invest. Don't sweat the downturns. Just tell yourself "Stocks are on sale!" and keep adding.

My uncle told me he maxed out his 401k since he was 34… He’s 59 and a multimillionaire now 🤯

@Sassafrass_84 Costa Rica does have a yellow fever vaccine requirement, but it only applies to people coming from countries where it's prevalent. US residents aren't required to have it. Just watch out for the ocean snakes. I didn't realize they were venomous until our last day there.

Wait a darn minute. My sister in law just told me to make sure I take all my mosquito shots before I go to Costa Rica in a few weeks. Um...say what? I am vaccine hesitant after covid vaccines and the mrna bs. Please tell me she was joking because I am definitely not taking anything. I will however take mosquito spray. As in OFF. ADVICE?!

@fintechfrank And what's so beautiful is that any American of average intelligence can start w zero, develop superior work ethic, read a couple Peter Lynch books and join that top 1.6%.

Only 60 million people on earth (1.6% of adults) have a net worth over $1 million. Those 60M people hold 48% of all global wealth. The bottom 1.55 billion hold 0.6%. Source: UBS Global Wealth Report 2025

@anthonycook65 Every real estate purchase I've ever made has come with massive "Are we doing the right thing?" angst. I've liquidated stocks, cashed in a life insurance policy + had to pay alternative minimum tax to make down payments. 20+ yrs downrange they all look like no-brainers.

My parents paid $17,000 for their house . Its a nice expensive neighborhood now but in 1964 it was a house on a dirt street with 4 other homes at the corner of another dirt street surrounded by bush. Their friends all said they were moving to the end of the world. In hindsight it looks like easy money at the time it was a leap of faith.

Seeing all the boomer hate made me remember a conversation with my father. It was around 1997, my wife and I had just bought our first house and my dad was prepping to retire. He asked what my retirement plans were. I remember getting angry with him; telling him I'd never be able to retire because I wouldn't see the same huge increase in house values (we'd just paid $254000, his house cost $17000) and generous union pension as him. 30 years later im retired with more wealth than he ever had. I guess what im saying to all the boomer haters in that your future isnt determined yet, go build it. Playing victim doesn't pay.

@theficouple Or has been for a while, and feels no need to change.

When I see someone who: - Maxes their Roth IRA - Owns at least 3 rental properties - Uses debit, not credit - Drives a paid off F-150 ...I know they will be a millionaire.
