Van Paiute

Does this sound familiar? My dad retired from a distinguished career as a special agent w/the FBI in the early 80’s & as his child, I couldn’t have been more proud of him & the work he did. He protected American citizens nationwide by investigating & apprehending criminals. 🧵

THIS.

@weheartseattle @RealJamesWoods I’ll tell ya… if he can clean up LA’s drug addict/homeless crisis, it might instill the hope needed to do the same for Seattle. Wouldn’t that be something?! Praying!🙏🏻

@RealJamesWoods I am IN!

👊🏼

@DHSgov @CBP Thank you!!!

@itslinklauren I don’t know if I can handle seeing and hearing her for another election cycle… seriously…

Making Kamala the nominee again would be like Christmas for me as a content creator and commentator. Such good material. And I can recycle my greatest hits from last time! 😂

Amen. We’ve been in the same boat living in WA state.

Powerful.

@SenRickScott @PlanetFitness A man used the women’s locker room at our YMCA while I was bathing my 4 & 6 year old granddaughters. There’s a gender neutral bathroom across the hall from the locker room, but he had to make every woman uncomfortable so he could affirm his gender delusions. Infuriating.

Hey @PlanetFitness, when women sign up at your gyms, do you warn them up-front that they may have to change in front of biologically male pedophiles, or do you only kick them out when they complain about it?

On January 6th I followed the crowd into the Capitol and shouted. Police stood by the whole time, hanging out with us and sometimes directing us places. At one point near the House Chambers I was walking downstairs when a trio of some special section, secret service looking men started pointing guns in my direction. Confused and annoyed, I walked the other way and when I saw a normal police officer asked him why they were doing that. He informed me a protestor (Ashli Babbit) had been killed, and advised me to leave the building. I walked towards the exit and after a short rest on the bench I left. I harmed nobody and damaged no property that day and complied with all police orders. What I received for that was a pre-dawn raid at my parents house, where my 1 month post-partum wife and I were staying, on Biden's first day in office. His DOJ had signed the order to arrest me 3 hours after his inauguration. In the subsequent weeks I received death threats online and harassing phone calls, something that would be ongoing for the next few years. I was banned from Meta and Paypal. My wife and I were both debanked by PNC and banned from Airbnb. My wife was detained at the airport for hours with our newborn daughter. I was charged with 4 misdemeanors and the 1512 unconstitutional felony. The government offered to drop the misdemeanors if I pled to the felony. The felony was a lie, so I refused and went to trial. At trial the prosecution for 2 days straight was allowed to show footage to the jury of things that occurred around the Capitol I wasn't present for "for context." When we asked to put forward footage that contradicted the prosecution's "context" we were not allowed. They could show what they wanted, we could not. Police officers were then put on the stand for the next 2 days who cried about their experiences. I had no idea who they were. They admitted they never saw me or interacted with me. Nevertheless like every other J6er, I lost, and was sentenced to 4 years and $22k in fines and restitution. Yet even after the Supreme Court overturned the felony, the judge would not let me out until my misdemeanor sentences of a year were maxed out. Because she can't count she actually kept me in longer - to the extent she intervened at the last minute to make the prison release me on a Sunday, something that is against BOP rules. My family sat outside the prison gates the Friday before practically the whole day waiting in vain because of this pettiness. But the government wasn't satisfied with their pound of flesh: after my release they took me back in for resentencing, to attempt to have me resentenced after the fact to my misdemeanors consecutively, so I'd be taken from my family again and have another 1.5 years behind bars. This time I won, as they had no legal precedent and it skirted on violating double jeopardy since I had served my full prison time. Even still, it cast a cloud over the holidays and cost me another 20k my family couldn't afford. People ask whether prison was bad, and yeah of course prison sucked. It was a hard and violent place. I was present for a stabbing, and was lucky to avoid two fights and a race war. But dealing with Biden's DOJ and the DC Judiciary was the real trauma - they would grind down your spirit by weaponizing the legal system and use the endless procedure to bankrupt you. I had nightmares for months after release that I had somehow been hit with new charges. By the time I was pardoned by President Trump, I had spent literally every single day of Biden's presidency either in prison or under some form of supervision. I had incurred over $300k in legal fees and over $1 million in lost business. It was a reign of terror, and yet it was a mere foreshadowing of what they had planned for anyone else who opposed them under Kamala. The country should never forget it.

@BillboardChris Sanity is hard to come by here, for sure, but we’re getting a few wins right now and we’ll take ‘em!

A surprising win for sanity in Washington State. 👏🏼

@Moms4Liberty Thank you for taking a stand. Y’all are so appreciated. ❤️

The SPLC Lied about us just so the bad guys could have permission to treat us horribly.

@TheShawnHendrix @grok @Tesla @elonmusk I can’t help myself thanking Grok when I’m provided answers. I know it’s a computer but I feel weird not saying thank you. Nice to hear I’m not the only one lol.

I had no clue what I was missing. Having @Grok plus @Tesla powering my commute is amazing. Just want to show you what @elonmusk is talking about.

@JeffDye Amazing what a lift that can be… 😂

"You seem happy lately" “Thanks, I'm no longer friends with people who actually hate me”

@choeshow Awesome! I live in the Puget Sound area and so appreciate your reporting. Thank you for taking the risks that you do so we can all know more about what’s really going on in our state.

Cool project, weekly updates on the Revolutionary War as it was 250 years ago:

@ShannonJean Thank you!

When I started on X in January of 2024 with 38 followers, I learned that sharing stories of success AND failure helped grow my followers. It was uncomfortable, and it led to 53k followers today. When I kept getting asked to create a guide or training program in August of 2024, I didn’t want to be a “course guy”, but I gave in and built a Costco Auction guide with Gumroad. It was uncomfortable, and it generated $12,347. When people began asking me to coach and mentor them, I created a Calendly account and linked it to Stripe. It was crazy uncomfortable, and it generated six figures while I helped some great people find success. In July of 2024, I was completely disorganized and struggling to build a consistent, trusted personal brand based on my experiences as a reseller, business owner, and a bit of a pirate. Everyone said, “You need an assistant, Shannon.” So, I hired Hareem, and it was uncomfortable at first. Learning how to manage someone remotely, coming up with projects, KPIs, and being worried about how I was going to “keep her busy.” Today, I couldn’t imagine not having help, and my team has increased to five Rock Stars who make me look much smarter than I am. When Dan Magazu suggested I start a Mastermind, I wondered if anyone would join. It was super uncomfortable. I was super stressed about it when we had 400 members 12 months ago, and today we have 3,351 members. When my coach (yes, I use them) suggested I offer paid workshops in our Reseller Mastermind, it took me a month to try it. It was uncomfortable, and so far, we have shared 12 deep dives into topics that our Mastermind members can’t get enough of. When I started on Instagram last September, I asked my daughter for help as I opened IG on my computer. She looked at me and said, “Your first mistake is using your computer,” as she grabbed my phone. I started recording videos for IG, and it was out-of-this-world uncomfortable for me to have my phone in my face. Those months of discomfort have led to 81k followers and thousands of additional newsletter subscribers. Are you getting the theme here? Every time I stepped (or was pushed) out of my comfort zone, amazing things happened. My challenge to you is to make yourself uncomfortable and to share the results. You can share the results here on X, in our $5 Reseller Mastermind, with your family and friends, or by sending me a message. Let’s be uncomfortable together as we build cool stuff and create our uncommon lives. Cheers to your inevitable success! ~Shannon
