@JimDrumheller @megbasham Jim’s profile page says it all. Gross

@megbasham Really? Behind my belief in young people's privacy must be something nefarious? I disagree with you often, but I don't question your sincerity. I disagree with you theologically often, but I don't question your Faith. We're called by Christ to reconciliation not animus.

Last night, after she’d gone to bed, my 16 y/o daughter receives a text from a friend. (We keep electronics in our room at night). I know my daughter isn’t gonna see it for a while and I know the answer to the girl’s dance-class-related question. So I just pick up the phone and answer it really quick as if I’m my daughter and leave it at that. Tonight, I see her giggling over her phone. I ask what’s up. Apparently, the other girl’s mother had just wanted to get an answer to the question really quick, so she picked up HER daughter’s phone and texted mine as if she were her daughter. (basically both of us were too lazy to go through the rigmarole of explaining, “hi, this is Mrs. So-and-so, and here’s why I’m texting you on your friend’s phone…” But the funny part was how the two girls figured this out. Because the first one was so appalled at seeing her mother‘s perfectly punctuated and capitalized sentences, that she felt she needed to come clean that it was her mom lest my daughter think she is that conscientious. And my daughter, likewise, didn’t want her friend to think that SHE uses correct grammar when texting either. So what I learned today is that it is apparently humiliating to be caught correctly formulating sentences via text.

@Sunny333333333 @TheCoachMelShow @JohnMappin The letter states that there is a messaging problem by Israel, not an intention or action problem by Israel. Charlie was not in disagreement with Israel’s actions. He was making the case that they needed to make a better case to The American population for what they were doing.

@TheCoachMelShow @JohnMappin Charlir states Israel is losing support because the actions they take are not clearly defined and he's trying to wake people up to stop out of line behavior. This letter ascertains that Charlie felt exactly the way Mr. Mappin confirms. Charlie has a kind persuasive way to convey.

Dear Friends, Followers and Subscribers, our dear Americans, Seeing as one and all are reminiscing about Charlie Kirk today in light of the Iran war, I thought I would make something that happened crystal clear. Minds are for changing, and when the facts change we change our minds. We had dinner with Charlie Kirk in London last May 2025, and when Charlie I walked privately after dinner in Hyde Park, Charlie told me then that in his view Bibi Netanyahu was a psychopath and that the actions taken by his government in Gaza were psychopathic. We already knew that, so it was no shock to me, but it was good to see that his evaluation and capacity to observe the obvious was present and sane. Charlie had completely changed his mind and his position on Israel from when I first met him in Dec 2018, and in May 2025 he did not support their actions in Gaza or many of the actions of their government, particularly their growing destructive influence in America. Previously he had been one of Israel’s biggest champions, so this was indeed a complete change. We had witnessed his support of Israel previously as we had visited Israel with him in spring 2019 when he had held almost completely the opposite view. Charlie was also totally against any military engagement with Iran by America. And he told me in London that he had written a few days previously to Israeli leadership to express his disappointment. Erika, Charlie’s wife, shortly afterward on June 17th and 18th, communicated to us that she suported Charlie completely concerning his view of the insanity of involving the US in a war with Iran and the importance his attempts to achieve a peaceful resolution. And she communicated that directly to us in writing. She also, and most importantly, indicated that she did not agree with how biblical scripture was being used and was being twisted by pastors and politicians to justify their support of military action. This discussion is historically important in the light of discussions about dispensationalism* (see definition below) and how the Bible is being interpreted today by many politicians and military leaders to justify the current war. She stated very clearly that “the pastors” in Charlie’s orbit were “hungry for war.” That was her worry at that time, and Erika was VERY disturbed by it. Charlie was not alone in his views. Many feel the same way today. The elderly in America and the boomer generation seem to be somewhat unconscious on the subject of harmful Israeli government action and how it affects the entire future of America and the world. Charlie’s view was that most of the youth of today will never forgive Israel for the needless slaughter of innocent children in Gaza, and he suspected that they would not forgive Trump for a future war with Iran either. Charlie did his best to warn President Trump about this and what voters and the Trump base were telling him on June 18 last year. He did this knowingly at great personal risk to his personal relationship and friendship with the President. Today, the youth of the world and young voters in America, on the whole, have recognised that Trump’s actions in Iran are insane and that they have been encouraged by psychopaths. I personally believe that there is a possibility that Charlie was executed for his efforts to prevent the Iran war. This is my opinion. This matter and Charlie’s execution should be completely investigated. If an American citizen was executed by a foreign power for expressing their opinion, then we should be aware of that. I am not alone in that thought either. Charlie was one of my best friends; we communicated directly (often daily) since April 2018. We achieved a tremendous amount together. I have strong reason to believe that there is a possibility that he has been betrayed by several of those around him. @RealCandaceO @CarriePrejean1 @TuckerCarlson @BretWeinstein @piersmorgan @IanCarrollShow

@JohnMappin What Charlie’s actually said in May 2025…in writing.

@JacobEdwardInc If your engaged with your children and your home is sound. It's easier than you think.

@troygem I’m really wrestling with this idea…

90% of what I learned from 1st to 12th grade was useless and/or forgotten. School taught me that reading and learning sucks, because everything that school forced me to read and learn about, sucked. It wasn’t until I was out of school, that I actually fell in love with learning. This is something I keep thinking about as my kids enter school age…

@IanCarrollShow There are ZERO Christian citizens in QATAR: Tucker didn’t mention: ❌Christians r not allowed to be citizens in Qatar ❌Public display of crosses or Bibles is illegal & punishable w/ 7 years in prison Why did Tucker omit these important details?

This 40 minute lecture from Peter Thiel at Stanford will teach you more about business competition than a 2 year MBA program

I drive Uber. Night shift mostly. Last week picked up an old man at 11 PM. He got in and said: "I need you to drive me to five places tonight. I'll pay you $500. Cash. But you can't ask why until we're done." Handed me five addresses. First stop: a house in the suburbs. He sat in the car. Stared at it for ten minutes. Crying silently. "Okay. Next one." I drove. Second stop: elementary school. Empty. Dark. He got out. Walked to the playground. Sat on a swing. Stayed there twenty minutes. Came back to the car. "I taught here. 43 years. Best job I ever had." Third stop: diner. He went inside. Ordered coffee. Sat alone in a booth. Didn't drink it. Just sat. Looking around. Fifteen minutes. Came back. "My wife and I had our first date here. 1967." Fourth stop: cemetery. He got out at the cemetery. Walked to a grave. Stood there. Talking to it. Couldn't hear what he said. Thirty minutes. When he came back his eyes were red. "My wife. Three years today." Fifth stop: hospital. He asked me to park. Wait. "This is the last one." He looked at me. "Now I'll tell you why. I have stage four cancer. Weeks left. Maybe days. Tonight I wanted to see my whole life. One last time. Before I can't anymore." I started crying. Right there. "The house - that's where I raised my kids. The school - where I found my purpose. The diner - where I fell in love. The cemetery - where I said goodbye. And here. The hospital. Where I'm checking in tonight. Hospice floor. I'm not going home." He handed me $500. "Thank you for driving me through my life. You're the last stranger who'll ever be kind to me. I wanted it to be gentle. You made it gentle." I refused the money. "I can't take this." He insisted. "Please. I have nobody to leave it to. My kids don't talk to me. I have no friends left. You gave me three hours of kindness. That's worth more than $500 to me." He got out. Grabbed his small suitcase. Turned back. "What's your name?" "Marcus." "Thank you, Marcus. For being the last good thing." He walked into the hospital. I sat in my car. Sobbing. For an hour. Couldn't stop thinking about him. Went back next day. Asked for him. "Mr. Patterson. Room 412." Brought flowers. Knocked. He was in bed. Smiled when he saw me. "Marcus. You came back." "Couldn't leave it like that. Are you okay?" "Dying. But I got to see my life last night. So yes. I'm okay." We talked for two hours. About his wife. His students. The kids who stopped calling. The life he lived. I visited every day for two weeks. Brought coffee. Read him the news. Sat in silence sometimes. He told me everything. The regrets. The joys. The moments he'd relive. "I thought I'd die alone," he said one day. "But you're here. A stranger who became family in my last days. That's a gift." I held his hand. "You're not dying alone. Not anymore." He cried. "Thank you for seeing me. When I was invisible." Mr. Patterson died on a Tuesday. 3:17 AM. I was there. Holding his hand. His last words: "Tell people. Tell them to look at strangers. Really look. Everyone's dying. Some faster than others. But we're all heading somewhere. Be kind on the way. You were kind. You saved my last days." He closed his eyes. Heart monitor flatlined. I stayed another hour. Couldn't let go. He died with someone. That mattered. His funeral had six people. Me. Three nurses. A lawyer. One former student who saw the obituary. That's it. A man who taught for 43 years. Loved a woman for 52. Lived 81 years. Six people. I spoke. "Mr. Patterson taught me something in his last two weeks. Every stranger is someone's whole world. Every Uber passenger has a story. Every person you pass is living and dying and hoping someone sees them. He paid me $500 to drive him through his life. But he gave me something worth more. The knowledge that kindness to strangers isn't extra. It's everything. Because we're all strangers. Until someone stops. Looks. Listens. Stays." I keep the $500 in my glove box. Never spent it. It's a reminder.

Forget the $100,000 investing courses. In 1998, Warren Buffett quietly explained how to never lose money in just one hour. Almost nobody paid attention. The company built on those principles is now worth nearly $1 trillion. This is the closest thing to a cheat code you’ll ever see. Save this before it vanishes from your feed 👀

"The man on the middle cross said I could come..." This might be the best 3-minutes of preaching I've *EVER* seen. If you don't feel this in your soul, you need to check your pulse 😭🙌

@CinemaShogun Pleezz keep up this excellent reporting.

I watched Candace Owens today so you don’t have to. She opens the show bringing up a trip Charlie took to Asia. Says she has info to blow people’s mind. Says this info should lead to a confession from the government that the military helped kill Charlie. Starts talking about church. Says she prayed at mass for a tip to be delivered to her that would solve the case. Says as soon as she got home she got a miraculous tip to answer her prayers. Tip told her to call some guy. Says she called. Says guys name was Harry. Says she fact checked what he told her. Says the she’s certain the guy will do a lot of interviews soon. Says something happened on September 8th that made Harry think there was a military conspiracy against himself. Starts talking about stuff from 35 years ago. Talks about Iran-Contra affair. Says Harry was first to ever discover a Sinaloa Cartel underground rail tunnel. Says there’s photos of Military working with El Chapo. Rambles on for what seems like forever talking about Harry’s past. Info that literally has nothing to do with anything at all. Then reassures everyone she’ll tell us what this has to do with Charlie soon. Says Harry was on the run for his life for years because of what he knows. Hitmen were coming after Harry for 35 years. Says Harry has a new name now. Rambles on !!!!!!! Says September 8th Harry was at a hotel. Harry claims he noticed Special Forces at the hotel that night. Next day Harry runs into more soldiers while out and about. Harry says there was some sort of high level military meeting. (This is dragging) Says Harry claims Brian Harpole (Charlie’s Head Of Security) was at the military meeting. Says Harry was interrogated for 7 hours after stumbling upon this meeting because they believed he was a spy. Says one of the military commanders at the meeting could be related to the producer of the Charlie Kirk show because they have the same last name. Says she’s wondering about Charlie’s trip to Asia. Says this feels right to her. Global trafficking cartels and the government being involved. Says she feels like this is god moving her in this direction. Spiritually she knew they wouldn’t get away either it. Says she’s tied to Charlie’s death and we learn more everyday that she’s tied to his death. Says this is god operating. Says Harry wants to meet Ian Carroll now. WOW MORE EMAILS FROM HER FANS CONFIRMING ANOTHER ONE OF HER SUSPICIONS !!! Rants about Pierre Falcone and France. SEVEN MORE EMAILS CONFIRMING HER SUSPICIONS. Talks about Ukrainians working with French and Israelis in Tennessee to get her. Begs for more tips. Says call cops if you see Ukrainians in Tennessee. Says keep your eyes peeled for Ukrainian refugees organizing against us. Says they’re building up in Washington. Says Israeli French intelligence officers have no business in Nashville. Takes shots at Tim Pool. Says Tim Pool is trying to get her harmed. Calls him Timothy Smollett. Says Tim is a coward. Accuses Tim of having financial problems. Says she’s not his wife. Says she doesn’t care about the midterms. Says she doesn’t care about Republicans being united. Shouts out her network of “influencers” that spread her videos on X. Says our country is infiltrated. Says her and her fans have to be their own CIA unit and they can’t trust the government only their unit. Says she has to build her own security team and will start a fund for her fans to pay for it. Says she doesn’t want to know what Tim Pools beanie smells like. Closes show mocking people worried about the midterms. Overall todays show was ONCE AGAIN almost entirely about another convenient email with tons of pointless backstory from a guy who sounds like he could be off his rocker. If he even exists… One new country blamed Two mentions of midterms Eight convenient fan emails exposing or confirming everything. Zero evidence shown. Complete waste of time.

@CinemaShogun we need a report like this everyday... Pleezzz.

Todays episode was an ABSOLUTELY DRAG but don’t worry guys we’re during our own “Investigation” into Candace’s claims. Be sure to check out the post below and join in as we all just ask questions. x.com/cinemashogun/s…

@cstewart133 @StefanMolyneux This is dumb. Your kids can learn, your parents with Dementia can’t.

@StefanMolyneux My philosophy is if I must hit my kids to get them to behave I can hit my elder parents with dementia for the same reasons.

Christians hit children – and approve of it – way more than agnostics and atheists. - Religious conservatives (especially evangelical and fundamentalist Protestants) spank their children at significantly higher rates than the general population. - In the GSS (1972–2010 cumulative data), about 80–85% of weekly-attending conservative Protestants approve of and report spanking children, compared to roughly 60–65% of the overall population and lower rates among mainline Protestants, Catholics, and the non-religious. - Similar patterns appear in child-rearing studies: conservative Protestant parents are 20–40 percentage points more likely to use corporal punishment than secular or liberal religious parents. - People with no religious affiliation ("nones," which includes atheists, agnostics, and unaffiliated believers) spank at lower rates than the national average. - In analyses that separate out the strictly non-religious (atheists/agnostics), the rate drops further. For example, a 2014 study using GSS data found that individuals who identified as atheist or agnostic were about half as likely to strongly agree that "a good hard spanking is sometimes necessary" compared to weekly-attending conservative Protestants. - A 2021 study of parenting practices found that parents who reported "no religion" were the least likely of any major religious category to use corporal punishment, with only about 45–50% reporting ever spanking, versus 70–80% among conservative Christians. Controlling for demographics (education, income, region, race, political conservatism), the religious effect remains strong: conservative Christian belief and practice is one of the strongest predictors of spanking, while atheism/secularism is negatively associated with it. Bottom line: Christians (particularly conservative/evangelical ones) spank their children substantially more often than atheists do. Atheists fall at or near the bottom of corporal-punishment usage among major belief groups in the United States. Similar (though less granular) patterns appear in other Western countries.

@anymanfitness How do you get to that page?

Lots of people posting this info since it’s now public. I haven’t seen anyone who has been on X longer than I have. Can anyone beat May, 2013?
