Luke Falk shared a Mike Leach story that stopped me cold:
Two kids. One rich. One poor.
Every training camp, Coach Leach told his team about these 2 kids.
The rich kid has two choices.
Get soft. Get entitled. Expect everything handed to him because he was handed more.
Or take the resources, the coaching, the opportunities, and compound them into something greater.
The poor kid has two choices too.
Say nobody gave him anything. Blame the world. Make his circumstances the reason he never became what he could have been.
Or outwork everyone in the room.
Luke said the locker room had both. Kids from wealth. Kids from nothing. Kids with every advantage. Kids who scraped for every inch.
Same choice for all of them.
Ownership or victimhood.
Fuel or excuse.
The rich kid can waste the head start or build on it.
The poor kid can drown in the deficit or weaponize it.
Greatness doesn't come from where you start.
It comes from which kid you choose to feed.

Now that we've successfully exposed the affair between a married NFL coach and an NFL reporter, can our crack team of national journalists please give us a quick update on the $16 billion of tax payer money that was fraudulently handed out to fake Somali daycares in Minneapolis?
@BernieSanders According to many polls, 76% of voters want voter ID, grandpa.
Maybe, just maybe, senators like yourself, should listen to the American people & pass the Save America Act.
Democrats have one plan: hope Trump fails.
That’s it.
Their only path back to power is betting against America’s success.
No real vision, no actual leadership—just waiting and praying for the country to lose.
Inspiring stuff.
I was born in 1961 IN AMERICA.
So my name is William Michael Holte, not Muhammad, Mohamed, Kwame, Kofi or Bakari.
I’m not African-American, I’m American.
I’m not a black American, I’m American.
My loyalty belongs to America, not to any fake African identity.
My history is American history, not African history.
My colors are red, white, and blue - not red, black, and green.
My anthem is the Star-Spangled Banner, not the Black National Anthem.
My flag is the Stars and Stripes, not the African Union banner.
My symbol is the bald eagle, not the Black Power fist or the letters "BLM."
I celebrate Christmas, not Kwanzaa.
I celebrate Independence Day, not Juneteenth.
I went to a white Catholic college, not an HBCU.
I got ahead through hard work and good education, not DEI and Affirmative Action.
In school, I recited The Pledge of Allegiance TO AMERICA.
I support The U.S. Constitution, not the weaponization of it against American citizens.
My future is tied to America’s success, not to racist democrat takeover policies.
And my president is Donald J Trump, not anybody else.
Who's with me on this?
FETTERMAN: “I checked where gas was a gallon, two years ago in 24 and it was around $3.60-3.65 a gallon, and the world wasn’t on fire.”
“And you know, I don’t remember any Democrats complaining about it.”
Let that sink in: Just 535 fucking people in Washington act like they’re entitled to run the lives of 330 million Americans.
The very people who pay their goddamn salaries, fund their bullshit perks and guarantee their bloated pensions.
And here’s what should really make your blood boil:
They’ve stopped acting like public servants and started behaving like they’re untouchable assholes.
They treat us like cash cows and voting cattle while they jet around on our dime, insider trade their way to millions, and pass laws they exempt themselves from.
I’m fucking sick of it.
These arrogant pricks have forgotten who the hell they work for and it’s long past time we remind them with a goddamn reckoning.
Fuck you @GOP and fuck you @TheDemocrats.
I suspect our entire almost 40 trillion dollar national debt is due to fraud. I actually suspect the amount stolen from us is way higher. We are being robbed blind and absolutely nothing is done about it
