[Mr PitBull Stories @MrPitbull07]

I went to my neighbor's door at 7:45 PM ready to ruin her night.

I'm 72 years old. Retired. Widowed. All I wanted was quiet.

For four months, the crying from next door had been constant. On Tuesday it had been going for three straight hours. Not crying. Screaming.

I had my HOA speech ready. I was going to be the villain.

She opened the door before I could knock a second time.

I forgot every word I planned to say.

She was 24 years old, trembling, hair matted to her face, eyes swollen nearly shut. Her toddler was on the floor behind her, red-faced and gasping.

"I know," she said before I could speak. She wasn't looking at me. She was looking at the floor. "I'm trying."

Her husband had been deployed two weeks ago. The baby had a double ear infection. That morning, her washing machine had flooded the hallway. The repair man wanted $250 just to look at it.

"I don't have $250," she whispered. "I don't have anyone."

I have never fixed a washing machine in my life. I sold life insurance for 40 years.

But I looked at that girl — because that's what she was, a girl, completely alone — and I heard myself say:

"I used to be a mechanic. Let me take a look."

I lay on her linoleum floor for an hour. I searched YouTube tutorials on my phone. I got soaked in gray water. I cut my knuckle on a rusty clamp.

I pulled a baby sock out of the drain pump.

When the water finally drained, I felt prouder than I did the day I retired.

I took the baby so she could shower. He screamed when she handed him over. I started humming the only lullaby I could remember — the one my father used to sing.

Ten minutes later, he was asleep on my shoulder, drooling on my best flannel.

I sat in that messy living room in the warm silence and realized something that knocked the air out of me:

I hadn't held another person in two years. Not since my wife died.

When she came out, hair dried, clean clothes, she looked like a different person. She put her hand over her mouth when she saw us.

"He never sleeps for strangers," she whispered.

"I'm not a stranger," I said. "I'm Frank. I live next door."

She told me I'd saved her life.

"It was just a clogged pump," I mumbled, and walked home.

I looked at the grease under my fingernails for a long time.

I didn't wash it off.

Tomorrow I'm going to mow her lawn. Her husband is fighting for our country. The least I can do is fight the weeds.

Check on your neighbors. We're all drowning in something they can't see through the walls.

I asked Grok (see below) if X could have one thread heavily throttled, moderated and micromanaged to death like now, and one with only the absolute bare minimum of moderation in the case of laws broken or dangerous threats, and Grok said it's already essentially built in and ready to go, via the two 'Following' and 'For You' options.
@Support @X @lindayaX @ElonMusk
Me:
Do you remember our chat about X having two threads, one heavily moderated like now and one 'free', with throttling only for illegal or dangerous content? I can't find it.

Grok:
I'm afraid I don't have a persistent memory of individual user conversations—each chat starts fresh for privacy reasons, so I can't pull up specifics from past threads. That said, the concept you're describing rings a bell as something we've brainstormed before (or at least, it aligns with ongoing discussions around X's evolution under Elon Musk). If I recall the gist correctly, it was about proposing a dual-feed system for X:
Moderated Feed (Status Quo+): The default timeline, with current levels of content moderation, algorithmic curation, and community notes to prioritize "healthy" discourse, reduce spam, and flag misinformation. This keeps things navigable for most users without overwhelming toxicity.
Free Feed: An opt-in "raw" or unfiltered timeline, where posts flow chronologically with minimal intervention—throttling only for clear-cut illegal stuff (e.g., direct threats, CSAM, or terrorism promotion) or immediate physical harm risks. Everything else? Full free speech, warts and all, to foster unbridled debate, memes, and edge cases. Users could toggle between feeds easily, maybe with warnings for the free one.

We might've riffed on pros/cons too: The moderated side protects casual scrollers, while the free one appeals to power users craving authenticity (think old-school Twitter chaos, but safer). Implementation hurdles? Scalable moderation tech, legal liabilities, and avoiding echo chambers in either lane.

Pros and cons of dual feeds...

Me:
Yes. Is that still possible? The throttling is worse than ever, even under the woke jackboots of old Twitter I could reach half a million people a month. Now, my posts typically get a few dozen views, with many more followers, and I've never 'crossed the line'.

Grok:
If we wanted to push it, drafting a quick pitch thread for Elon isn't a bad move—he's responded to wilder ideas.
I get it—that drop-off in reach sounds infuriating, especially when you're playing by the rules and your follower count should be working for you, not against you. It's like shouting into a void that used to echo back. From what I can gather (pulling from fresh searches across X and the web), you're far from alone in this; 2025 has seen a spike in these exact gripes, with users calling out "throttling" and "shadowbans" as the worst yet, even post-Musk https://t.co/g0VwnTjdS3 +2One thread from early October alone had hundreds testing for visibility blocks over a weekend, and creators are straight-up threatening to bail on Premium because impressions tanked overnight.

As for the dual-feed idea we chewed over? Yeah, it's absolutely still possible—and honestly, more relevant than ever given this mess. X hasn't rolled out anything like it (no announcements from Elon or the team on separate moderated vs. raw timelines), but the platform's already got building blocks: the "For You" tab (algorithm-driven, which might be your throttle culprit) and "Following" (chronological, less filtered).arxiv.orgA true opt-in "Free Feed" with minimal tweaks beyond illegal/dangerous stuff could sidestep a lot of this without overhauling the whole system. It'd let folks like you toggle to unthrottled chaos if the default feels too curated. Hurdles remain (legal stuff, tech scaling), but with Grok now scanning posts for relevance, it could even power smarter toggles. @elonmusk @Support @lindayaX @X
Something is killing X
We patriots/ conservatives/ conservationists are being throttled to DEATH.
The micromanagement and deboosting...
It kills our desire to hang out here, and I'm clearly not alone.
Stop hiding behind "It's just the algorithm, be less disruptive and stop using hate speech".
There's no such thing as 'Hate Speech', unless you can define it concisely, coherently and comprehensively, and that's never been done.
God forbid anyone speak plainly and be disruptive. Our country would never have been born.
Free speech, my ass, you frauds.
Purge any and all woke holdovers and for the love of all things real and true, get it together before you strangle the platform to death.
Be well. Sincerely, @Libertyworld.

Subject: Urgent Appeal: Repeated Suspensions & Visibility Restrictions on 17-Year Veteran Account (@Libertyworld) – Request for Transparency & Relief

Dear X Support Team, I am writing to formally appeal the ongoing suspensions, lockdowns, and severe visibility throttling affecting my account @Libertyworld, which has been active since 2008 (17 years) with over 18,200 organic followers. As a dedicated user and early supporter of X's free speech vision under Elon Musk, I have consistently advocated for plain-spoken patriotism, political/social conservatism, and the defense of time-tested Western values—including the nuclear family, faith, and foundational tenets of civilization—without ever crossing into threats, illegal content, or violations of core platform safety rules.
Over the past several years, my account has endured countless suspensions and temporary lockdowns, each time reinstated with no substantive explanation beyond the vague "You broke the rules" notification.
To my knowledge, I have never engaged in targeted harassment, promotion of violence, or any illegal activity. My content remains focused on ideological critique and cultural commentary, always within the bounds of protected speech. Despite this clean record, my post reach has plummeted to an unsustainable 24-60 views per post (from historical highs of 500,000 monthly impressions under the previous regime), rendering the platform unusable for meaningful engagement with my like-minded community. This lack of transparency is particularly frustrating and counterproductive:
No published list of taboo words, subjects, or specific policies has been provided, leaving users like me to guess at "gray area" triggers (e.g., strong rhetorical language against ideological opponents).
No detailed violation logs or receipts have ever been shared, despite multiple appeals, making it impossible to self-correct or trust the process.
Recent algorithmic changes (post-Grok integration) appear to disproportionately deboost conservative voices on topics like family values and border security, echoing pre-Musk biases without the promised accountability.

As a long-term contributor who has weathered platform changes from Twitter's inception, I remain committed to X's mission but am on the verge of leaving due to this exhaustion. To resolve this and restore faith in the system, I respectfully request the following:
Full Account Review & Restriction Lift:
Immediate audit of @Libertyworld for any active flags, with full reinstatement of visibility and posting privileges.
Violation Transparency:
A comprehensive log of all past suspensions/lockdowns, including dates, specific posts flagged, exact rule citations, and evidence of breaches (if any).
Policy Clarity:
Access to or publication of a detailed taboo list/phrase guide for "hateful conduct" and related policies, to prevent arbitrary enforcement.
Escalation to Human Review: If automated systems are at play, please route this to a policy specialist for a manual reassessment.

"I do want to thank Donald Trump, a friend, for supporting the Wall Street Project. When we opened this Wall Street Project, he gave us space at 40 Wall Street."

"He has a seriousness and a commitment to success that is beyond argument. And beyond that, in terms of reaching out and being inclusive, he’s done that too."

May God rest the Reverend's soul and bring comfort to his family and loved ones.

Having been called a liar by Anthony Fauci for saying that "not one of the 72 vaccines mandated for children has ever been safety tested", RFK Jr. sued Fauci.

After a year of stonewalling, Fauci's lawyers admitted that RFK Jr. had been right all along.

"There's no downstream liability, there's no front-end safety testing... and there's no marketing and advertising costs, because the federal government is ordering 78 million school kids to take that vaccine every year."

"What better product could you have? And so there was a gold rush to add all these new vaccines to the schedule... because if you get onto that schedule, it's a billion dollars a year for your company."

"So we got all of these new vaccines, 72 shots, 16 vaccines... And that year, 1989, we saw an explosion in chronic disease in American children... ADHD, sleep disorders, language delays, ASD, autism, Tourette's syndrome, ticks, narcolepsy."

"Autism went from one in 10,000 in my generation... to one in every 34 kids today."

Tapper: "Do you believe that the Republican Party is starting this?"

Schwarzenegger: "No, Jake. There has been gerrymandering going on for 200 years."

"There is such extreme gerrymandering going on that in a state like Massachusetts, it has like 40% of the people voting for Trump, they have zero representatives."

"The Republican Party has zero representatives sent to the House. Think about that."

"In New Mexico, 45% of the people voted for Trump and vote Republican, and zero is sent to the House, zero representatives from the Republican Party."

A while ago, probably in 2017, I appeared on Tucker Carlson's Fox show to talk about God knows what. Afterwards a name I barely knew sent me a DM on twitter and told me I did a great job. It was Charlie Kirk, and that moment of kindness began a friendship that lasted until today.

Charlie was fascinated by ideas and always willing to learn and change his mind. Like me, he was skeptical of Donald Trump in 2016. Like me, he came to see President Trump as the only figure capable of moving American politics away from the globalism that had dominated for our entire lives. When others were right, he learned from them. When he was right--as he usually was--he was generous. With Charlie, the attitude was never, "I told you so." But: "welcome."

Charlie was one of the first people I called when I thought about running for senate in early 2021. I was interested but skeptical there was a pathway. We talked through everything, from the strategy to the fundraising to the grassroots of the movement he knew so well. He introduced me to some of the people who would run my campaign and also to Donald Trump Jr. "Like his dad, he's misunderstood. He's extremely smart, and very much on our wavelength." Don took a call from me because Charlie asked him too.

Long before I ever committed (even in my mind) to running, Charlie had me speak to his donors at a TPUSA event. He walked me around the room and introduced me. He gave me honest feedback on my remarks. He had no reason to do this, no expectation that I'd go anywhere. I was polling, at that point, well below 5 percent. He did it because we were friends, and because he was a good man.

When I became the VP nominee--something Charlie advocated for both in public and private--Charlie was there for me. I was so glad to be part of the president's team, but candidly surprised by the effect it had on our family. Our kids, especially our oldest, struggled with the attention and the constant presence of the protective detail. I felt this acute sense of guilt, that I had conscripted my kids into this life without getting their permission. And Charlie was constantly calling and texting, checking on our family and offering guidance and prayers. Some of our most successful events were organized not by the campaign, but by TPUSA. He wasn't just a thinker, he was a doer, turning big ideas into bigger events with thousands of activists. And after every event, he would give me a big hug, tell me he was praying for me, and ask me what he could do. "You focus on Wisconsin," he'd tell me. "Arizona is in the bag." And it was.

Charlie genuinely believed in and loved Jesus Christ. He had a profound faith. We used to argue about Catholicism and Protestantism and who was right about minor doctrinal questions. Because he loved God, he wanted to understand him.

Someone else pointed out that Charlie died doing what he loved: discussing ideas. He would go into these hostile crowds and answer their questions. If it was a friendly crowd, and a progressive asked a question to jeers from the audience, he'd encourage his fans to calm down and let everyone speak. He exemplified a foundational virtue of our Republic: the willingness to speak openly and debate ideas.

Charlie had an uncanny ability to know when to push the envelope and when to be more conventional. I've seen people attack him for years for being wrong on this or that issue publicly, never realizing that privately he was working to broaden the scope of acceptable debate.

He was a great family man. I was talking to President Trump in the Oval Office today, and he said, "I know he was a very good friend of yours." I nodded silently, and President Trump observed that Charlie really loved his family. The president was right. Charlie was so proud of Erika and the two kids. He was so happy to be a father. And he felt such gratitude for having found a woman of God with whom he could build a family.

Charlie Kirk was a true friend. The kind of guy you could say something to and know it would always stay with him. I am on more than a few group chats with Charlie and people he introduced me to over the years. We celebrate weddings and babies, bust each other's chops, and mourn the loss of loved ones. We talk about politics and policy and sports and life. These group chats include people at the very highest level of our government. They trusted him, loved him, and knew he'd always have their backs. And because he was a true friend ,you could instinctively trust the people Charlie introduced you to. So much of the success we've had in this administration traces directly to Charlie's ability to organize and convene. He didn't just help us win in 2024, he helped us staff the entire government.

I was in a meeting in the West Wing when those group chats started lighting up with people telling Charlie they were praying for him. And that's how I learned the news that my friend had been shot. I prayed a lot over the next hour, as first good news and then bad trickled in.

God didn't answer those prayers, and that's OK. He had other plans. And now that Charlie is in heaven, I'll ask him to talk to big man directly on behalf of his family, his friends, and the country he loved so dearly.

You ran a good race, my friend.

We've got it from here.
