It’s not just nostalgia. This was our childhood and it’s gone now. As a parent you can, through great effort, create the conditions for some version of this for your own children today. But the problem is that most of the other kids are screen addicted zombies who don’t really want to run around outside until the streetlights turn on. So an energetic, free spirited kid who’d rather climb a tree than stare at a screen ends up being kind of isolated. 30 years ago he’d have been the most popular kid in the neighborhood. Now the other kids in the neighborhood are home with the screen and he’s climbing the tree by himself.
When the American empire finally collapses, historians won't be stunned by the greed of the elite; they'll be stunned by the loyalty of the poor. The working class didn't just vote against their own interests. They worshipped the billionaires robbing them. They slashed their own benefits, gutted their own healthcare, and cheered while the rich wrote off private jets as tax deductions. Not because it helped them. But because they were told it would hurt someone else. And that, right there, is how you rig a democracy without even breaking a single law.
This was a comment I saw under my content. I must say… Perfectly articulated.
This SCREAMS I'm an ignorant virtue signaling liberal. These people are so tiresome. They simply care about opposing the right.
Also democrats manufactured Trump into a felon likely so they could call him that.. These people are insufferable.
Tim Dillon just revealed why the elite donor class forced Marjorie Taylor Greene out of Congress.
“She doesn’t speak at the World Economic Forum.”
“She didn’t go to Harvard.”
“She’s not married to somebody who runs a private equity company.”
“She ran a construction company. She’s a mother.”
“They don’t give a s—t about any of that.”
“They don’t care about America.”
“They don’t care about your children.”
“They don’t care about the crime.”
“They don’t care about the disappearing middle class.”
“They only care about preserving their power and influence—and that’s where people like Jeffrey Epstein come in.”
“He does the bidding of people that don’t really wanna listen to the Marjorie Taylor Greenes.”

I worked under your FAA @PeteButtigieg and, after 34 years, mostly as an Air Traffic Controller, I retired because of how you and the Biden administration, to use your words, shit on every employee at the FAA and ruined a once fine agency.
You allowed men into my office bathroom.
I had to work with and for people you hired and promoted because of the color of their skin or who they have sex with who were wholly and completely unqualified for their job.
You FORCED me to inject an experimental dangerous drug into my body in order to keep my job and paycheck.
As for what the current ATC's "have been through", every single one of them is eligible for an interest-free loan program which their credit unions initiate during every government shutdown. As well, they all can withdraw from their TSP accounts. Every FAA employee knows these are both well established, common practices during shutdowns, so the only ones not coming to work are the ones making a political statement.
President Trump is right to call them out.
You, sir, can sit down and shut up.
If the legendary Pat Boone smacks you, you know you're wrong!
Pat just knocked one out of the park against Jimmy Kimmel.
“Jimmy….you’re still perfectly free to say anything you want, anywhere you choose, but freedom isn’t free as you’re finding out…there is a responsibility with it and consequence from its’ misuse and that’s why it’s so precious.”
“So shout, shout on! Speak your views publicly in the streets without fear, but don’t expect to be paid millions when you bite the hand that feeds you.”
Said with so much class!
The older entertainers know what's up! Johnny Carson never got political and had a great run entertaining us for years!
This is why Johnny Carson is THE iconic late-night talk show host:
“Why do they think that just because you have a Tonight Show that you must deal in serious issues? It’s a danger. It’s a real danger. Once you start that, you start to get that self-important feeling that what you say has great import. And you know? Strangely enough, you could use that show as a forum. You could sway people. And I don’t think you should as an entertainer.”
Now this is crazy
This woman is in a college civil social change class, they were told to write about someone influential. She chose Charlie Kirk, so did more students
The teacher wrote back a multiple page document about how horrible Charlie Kirk was and how Donald Trump and JD Vance are calling for political violence against the left
She actually includes and go over the document the teacher wrote
The indoctrination is absolutely insane in American schools
Wow!!!! Read this comment from a University of Wisconsin-River Falls professor, which he posted on Wisconsin Right Now Facebook. Make this go viral!! Profile in courage!!!!! Get this guy on national TV. https://t.co/ZBPxfPQSMS
Wait until the haters of Charlie Kirk find out their anger is based entirely on quotes taken out of context and flat-out lies about what he said.
Cognitive dissonance will glue most of the haters to their original positions, with word-salad explanations of how they have been proven wrong yet they are really right.
But some will experience unbearable sadness and deep shame over their actions this week.
That's coming.
Oregon head football coach, Dan Lanning, on Ducks super fan Charlie Kirk: “I hurt for his wife, Erika, and their kids. That sort of evil should never exist in our country. That’s what it is, evil.”
“Life matters, and I think we’ve lost sight of that.”
“If you disagree with me, if you hate me, if you don’t like me, just know this: I love you. I absolutely love you, and life matters.”
“Charlie shouldn’t have experienced that; his family shouldn’t have experienced that; there’s no way that evil should exist in this world.”
Thank you, Dan, for standing up for what’s right. Charlie, your legacy will live on forever.
Good morning.
The reason you feel Charlie’s death so deeply is because grief doesn’t measure itself by proximity. It measures itself by meaning. You didn’t have to know him personally to feel the sting of his absence, because when a voice like his goes silent, something in the atmosphere shifts.
The reason it feels heavier than so many other tragedies is because your spirit recognizes that this is not just about a man, it is about a battle. Scripture says eternity is written on our hearts, and when someone who carried truth with boldness is suddenly gone, eternity aches within us. It’s like our souls know instinctively that the darkness celebrated, and that strikes us at the core.
The reason you can’t shake it is because psychologically, we don’t only attach ourselves to people…we attach ourselves to symbols. Charlie became a symbol of conviction in a time of compromise, courage in a time of fear. And when a symbol is struck down, it rattles something primal and eternal inside us.
That’s why even those who never met him feel it. There is a strange thread pulling at us, and it is not imagined. It is real. We are bound together by shared purpose, by shared longing for truth, by the Spirit of God Himself weaving us into a fabric that cannot be torn apart. This loss pulled at that fabric, and every one of us felt the tug.
So if you’ve wondered why this hits so hard, it’s because your soul knows. This is bigger than news. This is bigger than politics. This is about eternity, about truth, and about the weight of a man whose life carried both.
Love y’all.
On the 24th anniversary of 9/11, we honor the lives lost, the heroes who emerged, and the resilience of the American spirit.
America will never forget.
