Dogged Truth

Trying to sort through faith, service & civic life - attempts at humor included. Logging miles. Encouraging people. Doing my best to always tell the truth…

This X place is kind of crazy, isn’t it?

I’m still learning all about it and have a way to go. I’m jumping in for a few reasons – first - to have some fun. When I can, I’ll try to lighten things up in this space and maybe make a few smiles. Other times, I may work to address obvious misinformation (lies?) – by, if possible, being polite and asking questions. (Right. In this rage machine? Like, I said “if possible.”).

My Goals Here:
· Have fun and make smiles
· Reflect on faith, service, and civic life knowing I don’t have all the answers
· Share videos, stories, songs, and stuff that I’ve found that might make smiles (even if it’s just for me)
· Encourage people that are striving to improve or accomplish
· Notice when something isn’t right and question it or correct it when I can

I’ll make mistakes - absolutely. But, I’ll own them.

Follow if that sounds good to you and let’s have some fun (without adding to the toxicity…if possible. 😊).

@RGIII Great reminder - I absolutely need to remember to do this more often and more than once a day!

Mike, I can see you're searching. Maybe start with Lee Strobel and the case for christ. There are a lot of questions, but, when you look outside and see the sky and trees and bushes and for me, the ocean, you know that God is real. Take a look, do some research, and hopefully you can create a relationship with Jesus... good luck and God speed!

@Dakotawin Prayers up and I'll have my F3 group provide a prayer this morning.

@michaeljknowles Heavenly Father, please be with Lilian, fill her with the holy spirit and give her the strength to fight, provide her with the doctors with the skills to help and give them the tools and decision making to get her back to health. In Jesus'name.

[Dogged Truth @DoggedTruth]

@SharylAttkisson Exactly! Thank you for the response and all the work you are doing. I can't even imagine some of what you've been through, and, yet, you've kept going - you are pretty awesome!

@RepThomasMassie @nickshirleyy @grok ...offered... 🤣🤣🤣

[Dogged Truth @DoggedTruth]

Wow. And, this was verified in 3 sources (2 had the 5.3 million decrease, the 3rd had it at 5.8 million) Just by putting controls in place - that should have already been there.

Total SNAP FY 2025 = $95.87B
Total SNAP FY 2026 = $51.41B

A $44.46B decrease.

How long has this been going on?!

🚨 JUST IN: It's just been announced that nationwide SNAP food stamps enrollment has PLUMMETED by -5.3 million in the last year after new anti-fraud protections and work requirements

GREAT NEWS! SNAP is meant to be temporary, NOT a way of life 👏🏻

Stephen Miller nailed it: "If every single person who wanted to enroll in SNAP or enroll in Medicaid or enroll in public housing was in a shared database that the federal government had access to, to verify age, citizenship, criminal record, other basic biographic facts, that single step alone would save taxpayers hundreds of billions of dollars!" 🔥

Keep purging the rolls! SNAP fraud is FINALLY being crushed.

@PewterReport Click the article, eh? How about unfollow?

@TonyDungy Thanks for sharing Coach - great reminder. Your Uncommon Life daily challenge has helped me greatly - haven't missed a day this year!

[Dogged Truth @DoggedTruth]

@DLoesch It took us over a year - and, turns out, it's the church 2 minutes from our house! We finally gave it a chance in November and immediately knew we were home. Good for you @DLoesch!

[Dogged Truth @DoggedTruth]

@RGIII Sorry, gotta disagree here - God wants to hear it all. Praise, good, bad, requests, everything. I like to speak to God like I'm "talking to a friend" (props to @RodneyAtkins! 😁 )

[Dogged Truth @DoggedTruth]

@Buccaneers Talk about matching mindsets and attitudes. These guys would be beastly together!

[Dogged Truth @DoggedTruth]

@DeionSanders Get after it, Coach!

[Dogged Truth @DoggedTruth]

@xx_xyathletics @WNBA Love this - great job @xx_xyathletics ! Keep it up - and if there is ever a need for an old dude to help, let me know.

@goddek There are about 46 million Muslims in Europe. Even if it's only 5% as extremists, that's 2.3 million.

Can you tell us - which ones are they?

@Medi4M4inStre4m @StraightFlorida Yikes. 🥴
