Trump hired a bunch of chuds to restore the Reflecting Pool, which they did on time and on budget. Liberals are absolutely furious because they don't want voters to see that you can just fix things.

The Nazi misogynist is also a phony. Who would've thunk it?

Wait Graham Platner got a 100% disability rating from the VA? Why isn’t that the biggest scandal of the whole campaign?

In another era a clearly healthy young man running around with the same rating as a paralyzed veteran would be an outrage even if he wasn’t running for Senate

@Robeno @tedcruz No doubt all of this is being accomplished via space lasers, weather shifting, and dogs trained to rape.

Let’s start with “Sources Say”

So Joe Kent “resigns” & Tulsi Gabbard quickly replaces him with rehire Dan Caldwell to DNI “fired by Hegseth as Pentagon leaker”. Then Tulsi resigns and this comes out of DIA.

Sure, Sure we see your “Rage Against the War Machine” commie propaganda a million miles away.

This is the wildest World Cup story yet. If someone in Toronto sells a ticket above face value they get fined $25,000 yet the city of Toronto bought 3,500 World Cup tickets early and then sold them to taxpayers at a markup as a “revenue generation strategy.” What the hell man.

Let’s be honest. Only reason @SecRubio is looking over his shoulder is he’s trying to figure out who this guy is.

[Echoes of War @EchoesofWarYT]

On June 6, 1944, a 56-year-old general with a secret walked onto Utah Beach under fire, armed with a cane and a pistol.

The secret: his heart was failing. He had hidden it from the army doctors so they wouldn't pull him from the mission.

His name was Theodore Roosevelt Jr. Son of the President. He had begged three separate times to lead the first wave ashore at Normandy before his commanders finally said yes.

When his landing craft drifted 2,000 yards off course, every instinct said redirect the following waves to the correct zone. Instead, Roosevelt walked the beach himself, alone, under artillery fire, cane in hand, reading the terrain.

His verdict: "We'll start the war from right here."

He then stood on that beach and personally greeted every regiment that landed after him, pointing them inland, cracking jokes under shellfire, steadying 18-year-olds who had never seen combat. He did this for hours.

Years later, Omar Bradley was asked to name the single most heroic act he had ever witnessed in combat.

His answer, without hesitation: "Ted Roosevelt on Utah Beach."

Roosevelt's son, Captain Quentin Roosevelt II, also landed at Normandy that same morning. He was named after his uncle, Quentin Roosevelt, who had been shot down as a fighter pilot over France in World War I.

Three generations. Three wars. One family.

Theodore Roosevelt Jr. died in his sleep 36 days later. Heart attack. The thing he had been hiding finally won. He never learned he had been awarded the Medal of Honor.

He was buried at the Normandy American Cemetery.

In 1955, his family had his brother Quentin, killed in WWI, exhumed from where he fell in France and reinterred right beside him. Quentin is the only World War I soldier buried there.

Two brothers. Two world wars. The same French soil.

Their father had once said: "Do what you can, with what you have, where you are."

Both of his sons did exactly that.

[Jermaine Curtis @JermaineCurtis]

When I was with the St. Louis Cardinals, I saw Matt Carpenter do one of the strangest things.

He always had a bat in his hand.

Before the game.
In the clubhouse.
In the tunnel.
Walking around the stadium.

And he was constantly taking swings.

No baseball.
No tee.
No pitcher.

Just swing after swing after swing.

We call them dry hacks or dry swings.

One day I finally asked him about it.

I said,

"Carp, why do you take so many dry swings?"

His answer surprised me.

He said:

"I'm visualizing success."

That was it.

I remember standing there thinking about that for a second.

Because I had always viewed dry hacks as physical work.

Matt viewed them differently.

Every swing was a confidence rep.

He wasn't just moving a bat.

He was seeing himself drive a fastball into the gap.

He was seeing himself stay on an off-speed pitch.

He was seeing himself compete and succeed before the game ever started.

That's when a light bulb went off for me.

Think about it.

Every player wants confidence.

But most players wait for a hit before they allow themselves to feel confident.

Matt was doing the opposite.

He was building confidence before he ever stepped into the batter's box.

By the time the game started...

He had already seen himself succeed hundreds of times.

So I decided to try it myself.

When nobody was around, I'd grab a bat and take dry hacks.

But this time, I wasn't just swinging.

I was visualizing.
I saw myself driving balls into the gaps.
I saw myself competing with two strikes.
I saw myself getting big hits in big situations.

And over time, I noticed something.

I felt different on the field.

More confident.
More relaxed.
More prepared.

And the results started improving too.

Not because I magically became a better hitter overnight.

But because I stopped waiting for confidence to show up.

I started building it before the game ever started.

So if youre struggling with confidence...

Here's my "Confidence Booster Plan" I'd Do Tonight:

1. Dry Hacks (10 Swings)
Visualize yourself driving a line drive into the gap.

2. Dry Hacks (10 Swings)
Visualize yourself battling with two strikes and winning the at-bat.

3. Dry Hacks (10 Swings)
Visualize your next game. See yourself stepping into the box confident, aggressive, and ready to compete.

30 swings.

30 confidence reps.

One thing I've learned from Matt Carpenter:

Most players practice their swing.

Elite players practice confidence.

Graham Platner created the website for his Senate campaign before he created the website for his fake oyster business. The WhoIs records are indisputable.

His mom is the only customer of his oyster hobby, and judging by the number of liens, she’s had filed against her for unpaid taxes, she’s not buying that many.

[Jason Epstein @Southfive]

@MattFinnFNC You know why. Everyone knows why.

[David Marcus @BlueBoxDave]

Will Cain asked me why more establishment Democrats aren’t denouncing Graham Platner. It’s easy, they can’t stop him, and if they try and fail, their powerlessness will be fully exposed.

[MAZE @mazemoore]

Why did the Obama Admin struggle so much with such a simple project? They spent 2 years and $34 million on it and within days of completion, the pool was not reflecting anymore.
