#Maga#Trump2024 & beyond
Liberals screeching "pedo protector" at Trump voters while Democrats literally invented the term "Minor Attracted Person" (MAP) to rebrand child rapists as a protected identity group.
Your party turned grooming into academia and pride flags into rainbow shields for predators, you absolute clowns.
🚨🚨SPECIAL PERSON🚨🚨
Former New York #Jets standout offensive lineman D’Brickashaw Ferguson is officially a registered NURSE after graduating from nursing school in New Jersey.
Ferguson chose a path centered on serving others and helping save lives despite earning over $70 million during his #NFL career.
Inspired by his mother and grandmother—both nurses—he wanted a career that would allow him to give back to the community.
Beautiful ❤️👏
Everyone STOP SCROLLING and listen to this…
UFC fighter Mauricio Ruffy declares Jesus Christ as Lord in front of the entire country following his huge win.
"Jesus saved my life, he wants to save your life too. Give your life to Jesus"
What a powerful moment.
It’s time for @MLB to end Pride Nights for good…
They are openly discriminatory to Christians, and make games non-family friendly with unapologetic sexual depravity.
No athlete should be forced to support an agenda/movement that doesn’t align with their faith/values.
#NoMorePrideNights
Mauricio Ruffy proclaims the gospel after his UFC White House win

Well done, gentlemen 👏
Things that triggered the left this week:
- a clean reflecting pool
- a name on a building
- a murderer getting convicted of murder
- a sporting event at the White House
- a successful IPO
- welders and janitors becoming millionaires
Aldon Smith passed away this weekend. Most people are talking about his incredible ability, potential, and performance as a football player.
Even though that is all true. He was so much more than that. He was a great friend and his kindness changed my life forever.
I met Aldon our freshman year at Mizzou. He was redshirted and relatively unknown as an athlete. His giveaway was the biggest hands you'll ever see and his ability to dunk at 250lbs, but his size in many ways didn't match his personality. He was relatively quiet and in most scenarios would try to shrink into the room vs stand out in it.
Over the course of the next year, we became close. We were very different people, from different places, but we both connected on the feeling of being a bit lost in the beginnings of adulthood. That year, I never really thought about him as a football player. He was just this gentle giant who loved to play video games and talk about life.
His sophmore year he broke the single season sack record at Mizzou, became an All American, and his life changed forever.
He became a celebrity on campus. He became a household name in Missouri. He became a top NFL draft prospect.
I remember how crazy his life became, and how quickly. ESPN doing interviews. Fancy cars being "loaned" to him. And people everywhere inserting themselves into his life.
Despite the craziness, my friend was always a text away.
My junior of college, I decided to take my first stab at entrepreneurship. I wanted to launch a chapter of Camp Kesem.
Kesem is a summer camp for children whose parents have been affected by cancer. The camp would be totally free and be a chance for a kid to experience the magic of being a kid again. As a son of a breast cancer survivor the idea of being able to create this camp in Missouri meant the world to me.
The Livestrong Foundation was hosting a nation wide contest to win $10,000 as seed capital to get started. To win, you had to have the most votes.
I tried really freaking hard to win that competition. I was going up against some really influential people at huge schools. As a somewhat awkward kid in Columbia, MO I had no chance.
So I asked my friend Aldon for a favor. I asked him if he would help me out and promote the link to vote.
He did more than just posting about Kesem on Facebook, skyrocketing us into the top place in the country. He kept supporting me the next 3 years while I was working on building Kesem.
He showed up to have fun with the kids. He helped me fundraise. He helped me get Kesem to become an official organization sponsored by the NFLPA so he could publicly endorse us as as a player.
Since then Torry Holt, Larry Fitzegerald, and many others have supported Kesem. But Aldon was the first.
Kesem led me to move to Austin to work for the Livestrong Foundation. Kesem is how I met my wife. Kesem gave me the confidence to start Workweek and continue the path of building something from scratch.
But in reality, Aldon enabled all those things.
Throughout the years we had many amazing memories together. Having my wife and I vacation to his house in San Jose. Going to New Orleans for the Super Bowl and seeing his entire family make the trip. Meeting his son and watching him be a dad. The hilarious night we met Derek Jeter. Having the most intellectual conversations about life while playing Call of Duty.
I also saw him struggle. There's no doubt he was a complicated person. Truthfully, I don't know if he ever really figured out who he wanted to be. I know just because your'e 6'4, 250lbs, and get 5.5 sacks in a single NFL game doesn't necessarily mean you want to be a football player. No matter the reasons, he made many bad decisions in his life. Some of those mistakes made it hard for me to stay as close as we'd once been.
One day, not too long ago, I just decided to text him. It had been years since we really chatted. I just wanted to say thank you for all that he had done for me and that I was sorry I wasn't there for him more through his struggles. We FaceTimed after that, and it was like the old days all over again.
Aldon was more than the headlines, the mistakes. He was a generous, gentle soul, a kid at heart, someone who was endlessly curious about life... all in the body of a world class NFL player, bearing the weight of professional pressure and personal circumstances that most of us can't even imagine.
People are complex. People who make bad decisions can also do great things. A person can be hated by almost everyone and, yet, there are people in that person's life who still love them deeply.
I learned many of these lesson due to Aldon, and I'll carry them with me forever.
Rest in peace, Aldon. You won't be forgotten.
UPDATE: At least 4 San Francisco Giants players protested Pride Night on Friday vs Chicago
1. Starting pitcher Landen Roupp wrote Genesis 9:12-16 on his Pride hat
2. Reliever Sam Hentges refused to wear the Pride hat (just like Blake Treinen)
3. Reliever JT Brubaker wrote Genesis 9:13-15 on his Pride hat
4. Reliever Ryan Walker wrote a message on the side of his Pride hat was unreadable on the broadcast
*I couldn't tell on the broadcast if outspoken Christian Robbie Ray protested as well
Well done, gentlemen. You've set a great example for other Christian athletes 👏
🚨🚨POWERFUL🚨🚨
#Knicks star Josh Hart gave ALL GLORY TO GOD after winning the #NBA finals tonight.
“First of all glory to God…”
Hart is a devout Christian who proudly identifies as a “Follower of Christ.”
What a powerful moment on the biggest stage.
Pregame during San Francisco Giants Pride Night, the team paraded 10 same-sex couples on the field where they renewed their “marriage” vows in front of fans & a gigantic drag queen…
Get this sexual depravity out of sports. Pride Nights should be banned.
Remember the Mississippi couple Billy and Virginia Blair who were murdered in their home by 17 year old Cordarius Hobbs last week?
Turns out his two older brothers Cortavious and Cortavion Hobbs were just caught after shooting a Covington County deputy during a traffic stop.
That deputy will never walk again.
Three brothers. One family. Two separate violent crimes in five days. This is the story the national media doesn't want to talk about?
