@TheRickWilson I think all states should be districted by bipartisan committees only. I’m so done with both parties.

At my 5 year old son's soccer game Saturday morning
Cargo shorts
Whistle around my neck, backup whistle in pocket 2, Band-Aids in pocket 3, juice box in pocket 4
Analyst by my side sitting on a cooler with his laptop open
Game starts
Kid on the other team goes down
4 players on my team look back
My son runs over and checks on him
On one knee asking if the kid is okay
Opposing player goes right past him and scores
Pulled him out immediately
Asked him what happened
He said he wanted to make sure he was alright
Told him to give me 20
He said 20 what
Laps
Started crying
Saw my wife storming across the field
Thought she was bringing me another juice box
She wasn't
She said the kids are 5
He still did the laps
Took him 2 hours in a jersey that went past his kneecaps
Sportsmanship doesn't show up on the scoreboard
And if it's not on the scoreboard it doesn't count
Plz fix. Thx.

@shipwreckshow Point blank, you are NOT a hypocrite. You showed many examples that we all were mad about, but now that Trump posted this and he aligns with republicans politics it’s ok for people? Nope!! That’s classic hypocrisy. Keep it up, Ship!
English

@ConcentricArc @Johnny_Joey Anti-Catholic would imply he is against Catholics in general. He is clearly stating he is not. I’m Catholic, I grew up Catholic, and I too believe the Catholic Church is corrupt AF! So there is that…
English

@Johnny_Joey There's always a "but" with people like you. You are definitely anti-catholic......
English

I’m not anti-Catholics at all. But I’ve read the history of the Catholic Church entirely too extensively to be bothered by the most consistently corrupted religious institution getting its feelings hurt by POTUS. God is perfect, men are not. God has power, men do not. For a Protestant, that’s true for any Christian leader, including the Pope.

@Johnny_Joey Didn’t know you’re an anti-Catholic bigot too. Sad!

@CAgovernor I thought that hospice fraud was not going on in California? Pick a lane, Gavin!!

@KamalaHarris I don’t like what is going on with Iran. I don’t like wars, I don’t like conflicts.
However, I still would not under any circumstances want you as our president. You literally said to our enemies “Don’t”. They would and never will take you seriously.
English

The President of the United States is threatening to commit war crimes and wipe out a "whole civilization" — all because he started a disastrous war of his own making and had no plan and no strategy for how to end it.
This is abhorrent, and the American people do not support this.
Trump's recklessness is needlessly putting our brave service members in harm's way, destroying America's global standing, and making life even more unaffordable for the American people.
We must all stand against this and oppose funding this illegal war of choice.

@JebraFaushay She doesn’t have a pound of make up on, it’s very natural. It still goes with her less is more and the whole natural look. She just has a bit of makeup on for a formal event. She looks beautiful no matter what is on her face!

🚨 BREAKING: TIGER WOODS ARRESTED FOR DUI — BLOWS 0.00 AFTER HIGH-SPEED SUV FLIP… SOMETHING DOESN’T ADD UP
Tiger Woods was just arrested after the crash, but here’s what’s raising questions:
• Officers say he showed signs of impairment
• Breathalyzer result: 0.00
• Still arrested for DUI
• Then refused urinalysis test
No alcohol.
No clear explanation.
Still charged with DUI + refusal.
That’s where it gets strange.
So what shows “impairment” with a 0.00… and why refuse the one test that could explain it?

Karen in HR swung by my office this morning
Asked if I'm joining the Employee Engagement team-building session this afternoon
I said "what is it"
She said "an escape room"
I said "what time"
She said "5pm"
On a Friday
An escape room
At 5pm
On a Friday
The irony of trapping employees in a room they have to solve their way out of at the exact hour they've been trying to escape all week was apparently lost on her
I said "no"
She said "it's mandatory"
I said "so is reading the policy before enforcing it but here we are"
She said "it's about building team culture"
I said "I already spend 50 hours a week with these people. If we haven't built culture by now, a padlock and a flashlight aren't going to fix it."
She said "your attitude is part of the problem"
I said "my attitude built the Q2 forecast in two days. What has the escape room built."
She didn't answer
She left a flyer on my desk
I used it as a coaster
At 4:58 I packed my bag
The analyst saw me leaving
He said "you're not going?"
I said "I have somewhere to be"
He said "where"
I said "home"
He looked confused
Like the concept of leaving at 5 on a Friday was something he'd only read about
I said "you should try it sometime"
Got in the car
My wife called
She said "are you coming home?"
I said "I escaped"
She said "from what"
I said "the escape room"
She said "you didn't go did you"
I said "I didn't need to. I solved it from my office. The answer was the door."
She laughed
First time she's laughed at something I said in weeks
I'm counting that
Plz fix. Thx.

@shipwreckshow I don’t always agree with you, but I know I’m always getting YOU, no lies! That is very important to me. Keep being YOU, because I know you aren’t blowing smoke up my 🍑!!

If you are a content creator of any form, your authenticity will be a highly sought after currency very very soon.
In a world of AI videos and posts where people don't know what or who to believe, if you stay true to yourself and your morals your time to shine will come.
But first it'll be hard af.

@iamhereforelon @F0ODHub I just swap out the OJ for a coke, but yes all 3!

@alt_w_v_g I tip servers, I don’t like to tip others, but I feel guilted.
If I saw a 30% I would also but 0% that’s highway robbery for someone who is getting a working wage, not a server’s wage.

Bought a coffee this morning
Black, no milk, no syrup
Someone poured liquid into a cup
Took eleven seconds
Then she flipped the iPad around
30%
35%
40%
For a $6 coffee that took eleven seconds to make
The line behind me was six deep
All watching
30% is the new 0%
Everyone knows it
Nobody says it
I pressed custom
Typed $0
The barista looked at me
The guy behind me looked at me
My wife looked at the ceiling
We left
Went to lunch after
Waiter brought water and bread without being asked
Took our order
Checked on us twice
Refilled drinks
Cleared plates
I tipped 25%
My wife said "you just gave the waiter 25% and the barista nothing"
I said "correct"
She stared at me
I said "one of them did a job. The other one turned an iPad around."
She took the check out of my hands
After lunch we stopped for frozen yogurt
The kids served themselves
Picked their own toppings
Weighed their own cups
I paid by the ounce
Then the screen flipped around
35%
40%
45%
I looked at my seven-year-old who had just done the entire job
I pressed no tip
The teenager behind the counter didn't blink
She already knew
My wife grabbed my arm and walked me out
In the car she was quiet
Then she said "I can never take you anywhere"
I said "just not the places with iPads"
She didn't laugh
But she didn't disagree
Tipping used to mean something
Now it's just a screen that guilt-trips you in front of strangers
I don't negotiate against myself
Not at work
Not at a frozen yogurt shop
Plz fix. Thx.

@BuckSexton Vanilla Sky was AWFUL!!! I wanted so badly to walk out, my friend thought it wasn’t “that bad”. 😞😤😤

@Evie_Magazine Cavil has been handsome since The Tudors!! I’m not one to have “celebrity crushes” but he is one handsome man!!!
English

In the latest internet discourse, some women on X are claiming Henry Cavill isn’t “that attractive.”
But there may actually be a scientific explanation for why some women say they prefer someone like Timothée Chalamet instead.
Research suggests that women on hormonal birth control tend to be more drawn to men with softer, more feminine facial features.
Coincidence?

@RealCandaceO I’m sorry but anyone who believes this as concrete proof is an idiot.
I’m so glad I told my daughter to not follow you over a year ago. I knew you were a bad seed and what you have done recently just confirms it. You could have waited, but no…money…

@DataRepublican @ROCKCRAWLN What a coward. I’m married to a vet.
No true vet would do that to another vet.
What a douche!

Hello Brad Duplessis,
You pre-emptively blocked me here on 𝕏, so I am forced to make this "Hello" a standalone post.
You are a retired Army infantry officer. You served in Iraq and Afghanistan. You graduated from the National War College in 2018. You are now an Assistant Professor at the U.S. Army Command and General Staff College, Fort Belvoir, Virginia.
Thank you for your service.
But reputations are not defined by resumes. They are defined by choices.
Today, you chose to doxx @CynicalPublius.
Today, you published your debut article on War on the Rocks. You published his legal name. His profession. His pseudonym. All in one sentence. Indexed, archived, permanently searchable.
You have changed the course of his life forever, and revealed him to the leftist ghouls who will demand his blood for forever. It doesn't matter if he was planning to reveal his identity eventually. You still made that choice. And I will make sure you are remembered for this.
So, what was CP's sin such that you saw it fit to throw him to the wolves?
Last month, he dared to write an article for American Greatness, centered around nine recommendations for War College reform. The recommendations included firing most civilian faculty and ending permanent military faculty positions.
You hold a permanent civilian faculty position at a War College. You did not mention this in your article.
In short, you named him, exposed his life to danger, because you really are arguing for your job and self-preservation.
Know what is the most disgusting, hypocritical part of this is?
In the Fall 2017 issue of eARMOR (the U.S. Army Armor Branch professional journal) you published an article. You titled it "Our Readiness Problem: Brigade Combat Team Lethality." You opened with General Milley: "Our fundamental task is like no other — it is to win in the unforgiving crucible of ground combat." Your thesis: "If we are to get after GEN Milley's No. 1 priority, we must first address brigade combat team (BCT) lethality." The word "lethality" appears in your article about fifty times. You meant it as a compliment.
Now contrast to today's piece. You wrote this: "In staking out this Huntingtonian position, the cult of lethality does a disservice to service members and the American people."
The same word. Nine years apart. You were a field commander then, and lethality was the mission. You are a faculty member now, and lethality is what your critics embarrassingly worship.
Frankly - and you will never realize this - but you yourself are the living, walking example of the thesis which @PeteHegseth is proving.
Also, you named a section of today's article after Colin Powell. You called him your model of what War College education produces. Colin Powell endorsed Barack Obama in 2008, endorsed Joe Biden in 2020, and publicly called Donald Trump "dangerous for our democracy." Powell, who infamously tipped the scales at the UN to start the Iraq war even after privately doubting the WMD intelligence, is your hero in an article about who gets to reform the military in 2026.
In addition to being a doxxer, you look a lot less like someone who's defending institutions, and a lot more like someone who exemplifies institutional capture in the name of self-preservation. And you disclosed none of it.
Let me reiterate.
@CynicalPublius wrote under a pseudonym and identified himself as a retired Army colonel with Afghanistan and Iraq experience. He argued about curriculum policy. You responded by putting his name on the internet.
Your career depends on the institutions you are defending. Your article defending those institutions is the same article that ended his anonymity.
You taught your students about the instruments of national power, Professor Duplessis. You are now a living, breathing demonstration one of them. And why reform must happen.

. @SenJohnCurtis I am told you pride yourself on being a nice, open-minded person.
Many have begged me to go after you. I didn’t because we need you.
But just now, your office just sent me the most patronizing message in response to the very real testimony I offered on the behalf of @realJeremyCarl weeks ago. Not just that, but that Carl retweeting one of my posts was a possible factor in you denying his nomination.
Senator Curtis, I’m really struggling here ethically. Genuinely. You are my Senator and I respect you especially in the light of a swing vote.
But the message your office sent me just now is very upsetting and patronizing, and shows you don’t listen to your own constituents at all.
Let me ask you a simple question.
Are you willing to communicate with me and get to know me?
Yes or no?
Silence will be taken as a “no.”
