Help me understand America.

Why is it that liberal athletes are celebrated for speaking out politically, while conservative athletes are criticized for doing the same thing?

When athletes supported Obama, they were praised by the media, corporations, sports leagues, and Hollywood. Nobody called it “dangerous” or “polarizing.”

The same thing happened in 2016, when many athletes attended Hillary Clinton rallies, publicly supported her, and openly campaigned for her.

But when conservative athletes express their opinions, they are told to stay quiet, while liberal athletes are applauded for doing the exact same thing.

Americans can see the double standard.

[Lincoln @flabbytofit99]

In 30 years, you'll be a lonely old man whose kids rarely visit.

Unless you do these 7 things starting TODAY:

1. INVOLVE YOUR KIDS IN YOUR HOBBIES

Leaving every Saturday for 6 hours of golf?

That's not being a dad. That's being absent.

Instead:
• Take them fishing
• Let them "help" in the garage
• Get involved in THEIR hobbies

Hobbies should bring you together, not take you away.

2. PRIORITIZE FAMILY OVER CAREER

Dying with a billion dollars doesn't erase the fact your kids barely know you.

Show up for:
• Games
• Recitals
• Bedtime
• Dinner

Your career will replace you in a month.

Your kids will remember you forever.

3. COMMUNICATE CONSTANTLY

Babies need bonding.
Toddlers need talking.
Kids need chatting.
Preteens need deeper conversations.

They have a million questions. Answer them.

This is your window. When they're teenagers, it closes.

Build the relationship NOW.

4. SPELL LOVE WITH T-I-M-E

Little kids feel loved through time spent together.

Not toys. Not trips. Just YOU being present.

Play. Read. Get on the floor.

They love you automatically right now.

Use this time wisely. It doesn't last forever.

5. EXPERIENCES > STUFF

Kids forget toys within a week.

But they remember:
• Blanket forts
• Water park trips
• Beach days
• Snowball fights
• Trampoline park adventures

Memories last. Possessions don't.

6. LET GO OF THE SMALL STUFF

Stop correcting every little thing:

"Don't touch that."
"Stop doing that."
"Why would you do that?"

All day long.

Let the small stuff go.

Save your energy for what actually matters.

Constant correction kills their spirit.

7. LEARN THEIR LOVE LANGUAGE

Kids feel loved differently:

• Words ("I'm proud of you")
• Time (one-on-one dates)
• Gifts (thoughtful, not expensive)
• Service (helping with homework)
• Touch (hugs, wrestling)

Figure out THEIR language. Then speak it.

Your kids won't stay little forever.

One day they'll be grown with their own families.

How often they visit you will depend on the relationship you built TODAY.

Want them to WANT to be around you?

Prioritize them now.

Or spend your final years alone wondering where it went wrong.

The choice is yours.

BREAKING: President Trump announces that 9/11 hero Welles Crowther will posthumously receive the Presidential Medal of Freedom.

Known as “The Man in the Red Bandana,” Crowther repeatedly ran back into the South Tower on 9/11 to help others escape, saving as many as 18 lives before losing his own.

Allison Crowther said her son’s legacy continues to endure nearly 25 years later: “Welles’ light still shines brightly.”

🚨 WOW! Rep. Wesley Hunt just made the Democrats SPEECHLESS after dropping straight truth nukes

"My own father, who grew up in a segregated South, had to walk around to the back of a restaurant just to order a sandwich because of the color of his skin."

"THAT was Jim Crow, and THAT is precisely why it is so offensive to compare that era of legalized discrimination and racial terror to showing a PHOTO ID in a voting booth!"

"And it's just as offensive when groups and organizations like these manufacture faux hate and racial tension, requiring identification of vote."

"It's not oppression. It is not segregation. It is not racism."

"It is a basic standard that applies equally to every single American citizen, regardless of what you look like. You need an ID to board a plane. You need an ID to cash a check."

"You need an ID to buy alcohol. You need an ID to enter these very federal buildings. And by the way, attaining an ID in this country is an extremely low bar."

"But somehow showing an ID to vote in America is now considered to be Jim Crow 2.0. This is NOT about civil rights. This is about political theater. And the Democrat Party survives on manufacturing grievance."

I just had the craziest experience at the airport.

We are about to board a flight to Atlanta when the pilot from the incoming plane walks out of the jetway. Guy is probably late 50s, salt and pepper hair, military look. The kind of pilot you instantly feel good about seeing on your flight.

Pilot walks over to the counter, gets on the PA system, and starts addressing everyone. “Folks, I’ve been doing this a long time. Flying one of these jets is easy. The hard part is looking at 130 people and telling them their flight is going to be delayed.”

Audible groans throughout the boarding gate. Most people here are flying to Atlanta as a layover before another flight. 130 people just had their day become a complete mess.

The pilot goes on. “I get it, trust me. But here’s the deal: During our landing, we had a small mechanical issue. I’m not your pilot for the next leg, but I don’t feel confident the jet’s safe to fly until we have a mechanical team look it over, and I don’t feel comfortable asking the next pilots to fly you guys until we get confirmation.”

He points at the agents next to him behind the counter: “Now, none of this is the agents’ fault. Please be kind to them. I’m the one who made this decision, not them, so any inconvenience you experience is my fault. Just please know that I don’t do this lightly, and I’m only doing it because I believe it’s in the best interests of everyone’s safety.”

Now this is where the story gets crazy. The pilot puts the microphone down, grabs his suitcase, and all the people in the gate…

Start clapping.

I’m not joking, everyone starts clapping for the guy. 130 people who just had their travel plans ruined give an ovation to the guy who made the decision and delivered the message.

All because he addressed them with decency and transparency, took ownership of the decision, made it clear that it was necessary, and explained why it was in everyone’s best interest.

It’s honestly one of the best examples of strong communication—of strong leadership, for that matter—that I’ve seen in a long time.

@Delta, whoever your Atlanta to Wichita pilot was this morning, he’s one of the good ones. Please tell him the delayed passengers of flight 1637 appreciate what he did.

This video hit home.
It shows how important being in your kids lives is so important!
The oldest son’s face / reactions when he realizes his father never did anything with his own dad. Sadly this is reality for many kids and adults.

Dear Boston - thank you.

To the roar inside TD Garden, the incredible staff, the tireless coaches, and the entire Boston Celtics organization, thank you for welcoming us and making us feel at home from day one. A special note to the coaches whose work behind the scenes is truly top-shelf, helping Luka grow, improve, and learn the system every single day.

I know there were early doubts. That’s Boston, passionate, knowledgeable, and fiercely protective of the standard. Which is exactly why your belief and embrace mean so much. You saw the heart, the work, and the love for his teammates, coaches, and the city of Boston.

We are deeply grateful and excited for what’s ahead.

Go Celtics! 💚🍀🦚 @NoaDalzell @celtics

[Wesley Hunt @WesleyHuntTX]

Failed TV host Don Lemon asked me what I tell my kids.

Here’s exactly what I tell them:

You live in the greatest country on Earth.

You are both black and white, which means you carry the strength, history, and legacy of both sides of your family.

Your mother and father love you endlessly.

And the opportunities you have exist because generations of Americans fought, sacrificed, built, and defended this nation.

I do not teach my children victimhood.
I do not teach them to hate America.
I do not teach them that they are oppressed before they even begin life.

I teach them faith, discipline, gratitude, excellence, and personal responsibility.

The race-grifting hustle is dead.

Americans are exhausted by people who became rich convincing others that this country is evil while enjoying every privilege it offers.

I also remember when @ericswalwell went on this platform and claimed Republicans would outlaw my interracial marriage.

Funny how that worked out…

Emily and I are still happily married.
No mobs showed up.
No torches.
No pitchforks.

But Eric did get politically humiliated and ejected from Congress, because that “paragon of virtue,” never lived by the example he tweeted.

Sound familiar, Don?

And by the way, Don, since you’re so interested in parenting, what exactly do you tell your kids? Have any?

REPORTER: “You've had a deep faith for God and country…. What is your hope for America at a time such as this?”

SECRETARY RUBIO: "My hope for America? It's the same as it's always been. I think it's the hope we all share. We want it to continue to be the place where anyone from anywhere can achieve anything — where you're not limited by the circumstances of your birth, the color of your skin, or your ethnicity."

“But frankly, it's a place where you are able to overcome challenges and achieve your full potential. I think that should be the goal of every country in the world, frankly.

“But I think in the U.S. we're not perfect. Our history is not one of perfection, but it's still better than anybody else's history.”

"It is a unique and exceptional country. And as we come upon this 250 year anniversary, I think we have a lot to learn and be proud of in our history. It is one of perpetual and continuous improvement, where each generation has done its part to bring us closer to fulfilling the vision that the founders of this country had upon its founding."
