@rez_devil I knew that area looked familiar

Pretty sure this is Gila Bend.

Read please

If you haven’t heard, and even if you have, Jimmy Kimmel said this about Markwayne Mullin, former Senator from Oklahoma, and our newest Secretary of Homeland Security: “We have a plumber now protecting us from terrorism.” Apparently, there has been some backlash. Plumbers were offended, obviously, as were parents of plumbers, spouses of plumbers, children of plumbers, and millions of people who have had a plumber show up when they needed one. Comedians were also offended, (the funny ones, anyway,) along with a surprising number of terrorists - especially those with access to hot and cold running water. However, in spite of the ensuing kerfuffle, @jimmykimmel doubled down. “I’m not upset that the head of Homeland Security was a plumber,” he said, “I’m upset that he isn’t still a plumber." He further elucidated by adding, "I wouldn't put a plumber in charge of Homeland Security for the same reason I wouldn't call a five-star general to pull a rat out of my toilet, OK? We all have our areas of expertise.” Being offended is always a choice, and I don’t choose to be offended by a joke, even one that comes at the expense of the skilled tradespeople my foundation tries to elevate. But I am a tad butt hurt by the suggestion that skilled workers should never evolve into something new, and that competence is somehow limited to one vocation. Obviously, expertise and skill are important. If I need a new kidney, I’d prefer a doctor do the surgery, not a late-night talk show host. But if the doctor in question used to host a talk show, why would I hold that against him? Ten years ago, during one of the presidential debates, @MarcoRubio answered a workforce-related question by arguing that America needed to get shop class back into high schools. He concluded by saying, “What our country needs are more welders and fewer philosophers.” A lot of people on this page commented that Rubio and I were singing from the same hymnal, but in fact, we weren’t. At least not entirely. Because I don’t think the current shortage of welders has anything to do with an overabundance of philosophers. In fact, I think it’s a mistake to promote one vocation at the expense of the other. What we really need in this country, are more welders who can talk intelligently about Aristotle, and more philosophers who can run an even bead. More Generals, in other words, who can fix their own toilets, and more plumbers who can hold a powerful government job. This is what Mullin did. He was a private citizen who mastered an essential skill and then turned that skill into a multi-million-dollar company that employed a lot of people and served a lot of customers. That gave him the freedom to do other things with his life, including a career in public service which got him into Congress, where he’s spent the last eleven years doing whatever Congressmen do. Now, he has a very consequential position in the Cabinet of the current administration. Is that not the embodiment of the American Dream? I get that Jimmy Kimmel might have a problem with Mullin’s politics, but what possible objection could he have about the trajectory of his career, or his desire to do more than one thing with his life? The only sensible thing to do in the wake of a moment this tone deaf, is remind America that the skills gap is wide, and getting wider. The shortage of skilled tradespeople is now headline news and closing it is nothing less than a matter of national security. This year, my foundation has set aside $10 million dollars to help train the next generation of plumbers, and lots of other essential workers. I'm talking about hundreds of thousands of AI-proof, six figure jobs that don't require a four-year degree, waiting to be filled. The money is currently available to anyone who wants to master a useful skill at mikeroweworks.org. Apply today. As for those of you genuinely offended by Kimmel's comments, consider expressing your disappointment with a modest donation to mikeroweWORKS. Our work ethic scholarship is making a real difference, and your money will be well spent, I promise. The donate button is big and red and hard to miss, at mikeroweworks.org I’d love to chat but I’ve gotta pull a rat out of my toilet…

@EdKrassen @RepNancyMace Dude…

@RepNancyMace Tell that to Renee Good and Alex Pretti

Unless you are in our country illegally, you have absolutely no reason to worry about ICE officers in our airports.

@RADeMita Wasn’t a flop.

the flop at the end is diabolical

@WembyCentral Book really doesn’t flop.

Also, I like Booker but come on dude. We have lost the impact of shame in our society. Just shoot the ball bro

@DuaneRankin As a major face in this league, the serious question is why. Why doesn’t he get the calls? It really makes no sense. This is three games in a row but this has been going on for s couple of years now.

Booker can't believe there wasn't a foul on Anderson steal that led to Dosunmu transition layup. Calling it a block. Suns down six going into 4th. #Suns

@MrJerryOC @ClubRandom_ @X @nypost @PardonMyTake @JayD__5 Hang in there, man. The world is crazy. Do t take offense to the shit storm. You’re a good guy and that’s all that matters

Okay. @ClubRandom_ was my last podcast. Can't do anything right. @x is mad at me. My family is mad at me. Even @nypost is having a laugh. Only podcast I will ever do again is @PardonMyTake for Fahntasy Preview and we're drafting @JayD__5

@TheDunkCentral 36 free throws…that’s a joke.

@CryptoxxxCoffee Hi

if you got $0 in your wallet just comment 'hi' and wait. if i like your reply send me a dm.

@CaptMarkKelly Senator Kelly, the US has now taken out two Tyrants and all you can do is complain that no congressional approval was sought. I really thought you would be a good Senator for AZ but the more your TDS evolves, the more I realize how wrong I am.

Trump ripped up the Iran nuclear deal and created this mess. Now, he's putting servicemembers in harm's way with no clear plan and no Congressional approval. The American people deserve answers — and Congress needs to do its job.

@AmericaRedVoice Strong

As of today, how would you rate your level of support for President Trump? A. Very Strong Support (100%) B. Strong Support (75%) C. Moderate Support (50%) D. Limited Support (25%) E. No Support (0%)

@RashidaTlaib And you’re a US representative…sad

Both the U.S. and genocidal Israel doesn't care about the laws. This is who they are.

@QThe76 Yo, how’s it going

IF YOU CAN SEE THIS ON YOUR TIMELINE REPLY WITH ANYTHING 😏😃 You'll thank me later 👇🇺🇸 THE Q-STORM ⏳

@AndrewLeezus The free throw difference in this game is a joke

THIS IS THE PHOENIX SUNS TEAM WE KNOW AND LOVE

@Hummingbrd15 @ocdevil332211 @azfamily Lyrics from cool daddy cool from 2001. Now do Springsteen’s I’m on Fire Hey little girl, is your daddy home? Did he go and leave you all alone? I got a bad desire

@WadeJacobs1 @ocdevil332211 @azfamily Here you go

If you tuned in to watch Kid Rock and company, what did you think?

@ocdevil332211 @azfamily What??? Name the song where he sings about rapping children!

@azfamily Rock sings about raping children, AZ family. Do your research

@RGIII I watched both.

Dear World, this is a safe space. What did you think about Bad Bunny’s Super Bowl Halftime performance?
