Experts are beginning to worry of a blowout in the Texas A&M vs. Miami game as it is becoming evident that Texas A&M holds the talent edge in virtually every position group.
Many are wondering if this will be the most lopsided playoff matchup ever.
Daniel Penny is an American hero.
His situation has been eating away at me and I have chosen to only talk about it in private until now. But I believe it is important that more people feel free to discuss these situations, so I may as well start with myself.
The reason this situation is disturbing is because I could have been Daniel Penny. We both served in the military and deployed overseas. The military trains young men to stand up for what is right, especially when defenseless women and children are being directly threatened by a credible threat.
If my wife and children were on that subway car alone, I pray that a young man like Daniel Penny would step in and protect them.
I have paid close attention to Penny trial. The evidence is overwhelming that Daniel Penny did exactly what we should hope every young man in the country would do in that situation — he put himself in danger to protect women and children.
After putting himself in danger and gaining control of the situation, every innocent citizen was able to safely escape the situation at the next train stop. The police arrived and Jordan Neely was still alive.
But here is the insane part — the police did not administer first aid because they were scared for their own personal safety. They felt there was a risk of contracting HIV.
Imagine a scenario where a young man is willing to put himself in danger to potentially save innocent bystanders' lives, but the police deem the situation so risky when they show up that they are unwilling to put themselves in the same danger.
That is the definition of what a hero does.
If we live in a society that tries to punish young men for doing the right thing—for protecting women and children that are in danger—then we will live in a society that is overrun by criminals.
That is not the society we want to live in.
The jury is currently deliberating the fate of Daniel Penny. They just told the judge that they are deadlocked and can not reach consensus.
This means there is at least one courageous individual in that jury room that is refusing to go along with the charade. Whoever that individual is, may we hope they continue to stand strong in the face of immense pressure.
Daniel Penny acted heroically on that subway train and now his freedom depends on a fellow citizen doing the same thing in that jury room.
Hopefully we find out today there is more than one hero ready to stand up for what is right.

I just received word that an upcoming USDA report will show 38% of teens (12 to 18) have PRE-DIABETES.
38%‼️
I will call out any lawmaker’s name who stands in the way of @realDonaldTrump and @RobertKennedyJr’s pledge to reverse this moral travesty.
This is the most important video on the Internet today.
Take 6 minutes to watch Dr. Casey Means unravel the PROPAGANDA she was taught at Stanford Medical School.
“I learned virtually NOTHING about the tens of thousands of scientific papers that elucidate the root causes of why American health is plummeting.”
“This is a spiritual crisis. We are choosing death over life, we are choosing darkness over light.
We need a return to courage. We need a return to common sense and intuition. We need a return to awe for the sheer miraculousness of our lives. We need all hands on deck.”
From Sen. Ron Johnson’s Roundtable on “American Health and Nutrition: A Second Opinion”
RFK Jr. was previously asked about how it felt to be condemned by his own family.
He told a story about how his father gave him a book just two weeks before he died.
RFK said he read the book multiple times, trying to figure out what lesson his dad wanted to give him.
Here is what he said:
"Camus had written this book called The Plague. My father gave it to me and he told me, with this kind of peculiar intensity, 'I want you to read this'."
"He said this with this directness that after he died, I ended up reading that book about three times, trying to figure out kind of what the message was that he was trying to give me."
Breakdown of the book:
- "The Plague" is set in a North African city hit by an unprecedented plague.
- The city is quarantined, and the story begins with a focus on the doctor's internal conflict.
- The doctor initially considers not helping because there is no treatment the unknown disease.
- Despite the risks, the doctor decides to comfort and serve the people.
- Camus, an existentialist, draws from Stoicism, focusing on duty and service.
- The doctor's actions bring order to the chaos, reflecting Stoic philosophy.
- RFK then discussed Sisyphus, a figure in Stoicism, who is happy despite his eternal, futile task.
- Sisyphus's happiness comes from fulfilling his duty (protecting people from a rolling stone), regardless of the outcome.
"For eternity [he] pushes a rock up a hill. He can never get it over the top. It always rolls back down and on top of him. And then he goes up and does it again," RFK said.
"Sisyphus is a happy man because he put his shoulder to the stone. He was given a duty and he does his duty. And that self-sacrifice that he makes, brings order to a chaotic universe."
"So for me to have kind of a concrete task that I know is right, and I'm open to criticism, I have a critical mind. If somebody shows me where I got it wrong, I'll change. I'm not dug in, I'm not hardheaded in that sense."
"But until somebody shows me that I'm gonna try to help these children and, you know, and I feel like it's a gift. So, and the more people that abuse me, the bigger the gift is in some way."

Rogan hit job started with misinformation. That didn’t stick so now it’s racism. Next it will be misogyny. After that transphobia. They are trying to make him radioactive bc they fear his influence. This isn’t about hate. It’s about silencing a powerful man THEY can’t control.
