@vhdawg @3YearLetterman We were there a month ago

Fitting that they should have a portrait of our first and greatest president at the exit of the Hall of Presidents. @3YearLetterman

On this day, 27 years ago, this Epstein island visitor singlehandedly shattered the international legal order that had existed since WW2 and opened the door to the Islamization of Europe by creating the first Muslim Brotherhood–dominated so-called state in Europe—Kosovo. Let’s be clear: Serbia did not attack any NATO country. No NATO member was under threat from Serbia. What Serbia did was respond to armed insurgency by CIA-armed Albanian jihadists operating within Serbia's own territory. These Albanian jihadists launched an uprising in southern Serbia, on the territory of Kosovo—the spiritual and historical heart of Serbia, the seat of the Serbian Orthodox Church, and the site of the 1389 battle that defines Serbian identity and its covenant with God. This marked the first time the United States and NATO used force under completely false pretenses. They didn't even bother inventing fake weapons of mass destruction like they did later. Instead, they used lies such as the Račak "massacre," where male jihadist terrorists in action were simply eliminated, or the fabricated stories of thousands of murdered Albanians supposedly killed on the Pristina stadium. This war became the model for how to stage a war on false pretenses—with no UN vote and no actual U.S. interest being endangered. This reckless adventurism was the first major step toward the Islamization of Europe. It was the war in which Al-Qaeda and the United States fought on the same side, with the U.S. funding and arming Muslim extremism. As a direct reaction to this brutal and unnecessary attack on Serbia, Yeltsin chose someone like Putin to lead Russia, fearing this was only the opening act of a much larger aggression creeping closer and closer to Russia's doorstep. Let's not forget this insanity, and let's never again allow a manipulator like this to start wars just to divert attention from his sexual affairs with young interns.

@CigsMake This is correct.

World War I & World War II was the catalyst for the downfall of Western Civilization. 100m+ of the world’s greatest men perished for no reason

@MarioBojic Amen brother!!!

🚨On this day, exactly 27 years ago, the demonic pedo elite opened the gates of hell! In 1999, I was only 11 years old when that perverted maniac Bill Clinton, together with sick degenerates like Tony Blair, decided to bomb and kill my Orthodox Serbian nation - all in the name of radical Islam. More than 20 countries, backed by NATO and the EU, attacked Serbia - the heart of Europe, the first nation in the modern era to stand boldly against the threat of radical Islamism. Those who constantly preach about democracy and human rights spent 78 days deliberately murdering civilians, destroying our infrastructure, and trying to crush the spirit of an entire nation. They failed miserably. Instead of breaking us, they made us stronger. Today, 27 years later, the world can clearly see that we Serbs were right from the very beginning. As Europe now burns with constant terrorist attacks - mass stabbings and daily horrors - and as native Germans, French, British, and others can no longer safely walk their own streets, the brutal truth is undeniable: the criminal attack on my homeland was one of the greatest strategic disasters and moral betrayals in the history of the so-called international community. The United Nations has lost all legitimacy. International law has been destroyed. Satan himself struck at the children of Christ - but all he managed to do was ignite an even fiercer flame in our hearts. We emerged as some of the hardest and most defiant Christians on the face of this planet. Serbia was not defeated. The real defeat belongs to the pedo-regimes of the West. And today, thank God, we are witnessing a powerful awakening of patriots across that same West - people who understand that only by standing together can we save our continent. This is not the fault of the American patriot from Louisiana, the German from Dresden, the Frenchman from Lille, or the Englishman from Essex. The guilty ones are the globalist traitors who have been destroying their countries, their families, their freedom, and their children's future. The year 1999 marked the beginning of the nightmare we see engulfing the entire world today. For us Serbs - and for me personally - it became a sacred vow: we will never join NATO, and we will never submit to the failed and corrupt European Union. We will never kneel and become vassals of the sick, corrupt bureaucrats in Brussels. Our only true Leader is Jesus Christ - and before Him alone will we ever bow our heads. Only with God, and united with all European patriots - Serbs, Germans, Hungarians, French, English, and all the rest - will we smash this demonic system and reclaim our future. The fight ahead will not be easy. Many already know that. But there is no other choice: either we live free in our Europe… or we die in their communist-Islamic caliphate. We will never surrender. Christ is King.

@MikeCalcara @Ford Brother you call me in the morning. 601.833.7521. I have. Raptor I will sell you for MSRP. Sullivan Ford, Brookhaven, MS. sullivanford.net/new-Brookhaven…

Done with @Ford Three dealerships today. All 90+ minutes from my client. Not one will give numbers over the phone. Yelling at me and consistently paranoid I'm cross shopping them. I'm not, I just need a Raptor at MSRP, which is a perfectly reasonable bid in this market. My client is a buyer immediately. This isn't a one-off. Every single Ford deal I've touched has been a disaster. Missing accessories, wrong builds, last-minute changes, improperly delivered vehicles. No other brand comes close to this level of consistent disorganization. @jacecraftmiller I may just need you on retainer at this point. If you're a GM at a Ford store who actually runs a tight operation, my DMs are open. I have clients ready to buy. I just need a partner who can handle basic communication, math, and common courtesy. Until then, I need an Avalanche Grey Raptor (non-37") with a Moonroof delivered to Charlotte.

@Callunc He is not doing his job unless he asks. Give him a break.

Dude just put it back and change my damn oil

@pestctrlguy Your credit sucks

We order a new Ford Maverick. Dealer calls and said they got financing approved but it’s a high rate so they recommend we put more down and in the future get approved for the Ford credit line to make things easier. I ask the rate. 12.99% I say let’s pause on the deal and let me make a few calls. 5 mins later the phone rings. They magically got it down to 8.49%. Don’t let these guys try to screw you over.

@MyGolfSpy @PuttView Nothing beats the ol' Billy Baroo

Blade vs Mallet Putters — What the Data Actually Says We analyzed 43,000+ putts using our algorithm and the @PuttView testing system to answer a simple question: Do mallet putters outperform blades? Short answer: Yes. And it’s not particularly close. Here’s what we found 👇 1️⃣ Overall Performance 2.6 stroke advantage for mallets. And it wasn’t just one or two golfers skewing the results. (85%) testers putted better with a mallet.

@tatereeves $0 in Southwest Mississippi

This is more great news for Mississippi and it proves our hard work is paying off. Since I’ve been governor, we’ve finalized a record-breaking $70 billion in new capital investment in our state – that’s going to generate millions in new tax revenue for Mississippi. Economic growth and population growth trends are strong and actually growing stronger. When you factor in the work we’re doing to strengthen PERS, the fact we are in the best fiscal and financial shape in history, and our declining overall debt burden, it really should come as no surprise that the outlook improved.

@BuzzPatterson Buzz when I was a student at Mississippi State we were playing golf on the Mississippi State Golf Course and the space shuttle piggybacking on the 747 flew almost directly overhead and landed at Columbus Air Force Base for refueling. It was one of the coolest moments of my life.

USAF Pilot Training is a slog. One year of waking at o’dark thirty. Flying 2-3 times a day and being evaluated. “Finals” week every week. And you lose half of your friends to washouts. It’s challenging. One morning, I was the first aircraft to takeoff on a solo in the T-38. I trained at Columbus Air Force Base, Mississippi. At 6 AM, I was #1 for takeoff. I lowered my canopy and locked it. I plugged in my Walkman and played “Sailing” by Christopher Cross. It was a gorgeous morning. Low clouds were hugging the glens and the rivers. Sun was coming up. Gorgeous. I took off and climbed out. I looked down on the houses and farms thinking “here I am.” At about 1000’, I snapped off a quick aileron roll. Why? Because I could.😎

@tatereeves Zero jobs in SW Mississippi, Tate. ZERO.

✅$209 million investment. ✅100 good jobs. ✅More Mississippi Momentum.

@tatereeves $0-and counting- in southwest Mississippi

Momentum you can see. Opportunity you can build. We’re breaking new ground on a $29 million investment in DeSoto County.

@alt_w_v_g It's a good thing because when you replace the transmission in that thing after about 50,000 miles you'll be paying about $7,500

Went to the car dealership Saturday Wife wants a new SUV Salesman walked over and said "what are we looking for today?" I said "what's your margin on the Tahoe?" He laughed I said "I'm not joking. What's the invoice price versus the sticker and what holdback does the dealer get from GM?" He stopped laughing My wife said "we're just browsing" We were not just browsing I brought a spreadsheet Printed Color coded Blue for inputs Black for calculations I showed him the comparable transaction analysis I ran on every Tahoe sold within 50 miles in the last 90 days He said "sir this is a car dealership" I said "and these are the comps" He went to get his manager The manager came out Looked at my spreadsheet Looked at me Said "where do you work?" I said "private equity" He said "that explains it" My wife was already in the lobby pretending she didn't know me We got the Tahoe $4,200 below sticker She didn't thank me But the savings speak for themselves You are welcome Sent from my iPhone

@tatereeves $0 in SOUTHWEST MISSISSIPPI

They’ve helped Mississippi finalize a record-breaking $70 billion in new private sector investment.

@tatereeves In NE MS for sure.

2026 is going to be a historic year for economic development in Mississippi.

@tatereeves @EntergyMS Then why did my light bill double last month?

The first conversation I had regarding major data center capital investments was in December 2019 - after I won the gubernatorial election but before I was sworn in as the 65th Governor of Mississippi. We did the research. We talked with leaders in the industry. We listened to community leaders with experience dealing with similar projects. As always with economic development projects, we understood that we represent the taxpayers. And in these specific massive data center capital investments, we also understood that taxpayers = ratepayers. When we (meaning @bill_cork_ms) entered serious negotiations over three years ago with @amazon, I insisted that ratepayers would never be negatively affected financially by the large capital investments required. @EntergyMS President Haley Fisackerly understood the importance of protecting the existing ratepayers while growing our overall economy and agreed strongly with this approach. And to their credit, @amazon - as our first major partner - agreed as well. So much so that we all agreed to structure the Mississippi Major Economic Impact Act (the law) and worked with the Mississippi Public Service Commission to ensure that rate increases to everyday consumers would not be approved. As a result, @Entergy announced this week $2 billion in expected long-term savings for our ratepayers due to the economic growth that led us to the 2nd fastest growing economy in America in ‘24. Moral of the story: Don’t believe everything you read about the dangers of building economic prosperity in America. Our state has taken a responsible, sustainable approach to building out the technology of tomorrow and that’s what we will continue to do. Mississippi is leading… And we ain’t done yet!

@Wolfways44 Hell, that's cheap.

When did car batteries become $180? Have I just been living under a rock? At least she starts now. 🤦‍♀️

@HawkEmDownChris The Chief

Age yourself by naming an NBA center you grew up watching. I’ll start: Shaquille O’Neal.

@AlBuffalo2nite Well I can't do a damn thing about but live life. Been here before and will be here again at some point. Can't do anything about things out of my control.

Does anyone else feel like there are two completely different realities right now? On X… people are watching events unfold in real time. War developments… economic data… policy debates… global shifts. Then you walk outside, talk to people in everyday life, and it feels like none of it exists to them. No awareness. No curiosity. No sense that major things are happening in the world. It’s like two parallel conversations are taking place at the same time. One group is tracking information constantly. Another group is completely disconnected from it. So I’m genuinely curious… Is this just the nature of social media concentrating news and discussion in one place… Or are most people simply too busy living their lives to follow what’s happening? What do you think? #SilentMajoritySpeaks #AStoneGroove

@araghchi F*******ck you, bring that shit on Mfer

The U.S. has perpetrated an atrocity at sea, 2,000 miles away from Iran's shores. Frigate Dena, a guest of India's Navy carrying almost 130 sailors, was struck in international waters without warning. Mark my words: The U.S. will come to bitterly regret precedent it has set.
