Gaining ballot access as an independent candidate in NY is a major win, shaking up both parties. Polling at 8% already, this movement is poised to grow, potentially securing a victory in a 3-way race. #NYPolitics #Independent

Important note on X algorithm changes (this may affect many of you):

X is now applying heavy reach reductions, up to 90% impression deductions, on reposted or third party content, including TV clips and simple excerpts which are very important in our reporting (ex. video Statements from heads of state)

The platform is clearly pushing for more original, native videos, especially talking videos with your own voice on camera. One example X highlighted was a man from Germany explaining why he left his home, or voiceover style reaction videos, closer to TikTok videos.

(We happen to be in pre production for long form original video content, but for videos we may prefer YouTube, unless X really can compete, as production costs are very high)

My feed has always been real time, verified security reporting. Fast alerts with primary sources, added context, and careful verification. We do not just copy and paste. Every post is checked. We have published over 95,000 posts. We are not perfect, and if we get something wrong, we will publicly correct it, like we always have.

That said, X stated that news accounts providing rapid updates would not be limited in their reach, but we have already seen a sharp drop in reach, and it may decline further as these changes roll out.

We have expanded our team and will continue to invest in accuracy, stronger verification, and proprietary intel. The mission stays the same. Delivering fast, reliable updates on the Middle East, geopolitics, and critical developments.

If you want to keep seeing these updates in your feed:

• You can turn on notifications
• Like, reply, or engage

If this work matters to you, you can quote this post and let X know that reducing reach on verified, real time news accounts hurts access to information when it matters most.

The mission does not change. Thank you for being here.

After opening Romans Chapter 13 by talking about respecting authority Paul then pivots to love. He says we have an obligation to love each other. If we do that we will naturally fulfill all the requirements of God’s laws. In vs 9 he says that all of the commandments can be summarized by one statement—love your neighbor as yourself.

If we truly love everyone around us we won’t do any wrong toward them because we will always do what’s best for them and not for us. That is the ideal.

And Paul says it’s important for us to think and act that way because the time is drawing near for Christ to return. No one knows when that day will come but Paul says it’s closer now than ever. Because of that we need to represent Jesus by loving our neighbors just as Jesus loved us.

I heard a U13 select volleyball coach yelling at his team while the parents listened in.

“You all need to take this seriously if you want to play collegiate volleyball. Stop screwing around with other sports. Focus just on volleyball year around.”

The girls were all about 5’3 being sold a lie.

If this sounds familiar, pull your kid from that team asap.

Just watch the @NFL draft. Even the greats played multiple sports.

Life is too short. Play multiple sports.

Why?

Before you know it, it’s all over. Even for those that make it to D1 or pros.

The most common comment I get from alumni that didn’t play football while in high school is “I regret not playing football for you.”

No regrets. Play multiple sports!!

If we just focus on what we’re going to be doing tomorrow, we’re going to miss what God wants to show us today. If we focus on everything that’s wrong, we will miss all that’s right.
