This is incredibly difficult to write, however a West Point brother needs us right now.
Ben Lemon (2017) lost his 7-year-old son Solomon last month. His two remaining boys (ages 5 and 3) have the same rare mitochondrial disease.
Ben and his lovely wife Katja are not giving up. They are researching trials, going to work, and fighting for their family.

If you have connections in pharma or mitochondrial disease research, DM me directly. Pretzel Therapeutics (drug: PX578) is in trials that could change everything for his boys.
For Solomon. And for the Lemon family. 🖤💛
Hard to stomach the pearl clutching about women’s sports being disrespected from folks who are silent when males put on womanface and invade women’s and girls sports.
Last political post for awhile I hope, but this has to be said.
I’m not a Trump supporter and honestly, a lot of people who aren’t Trump supporters are still completely fed up with the far left right now.
Not because of “progress,” or “fairness,” or any of the values they claim to own. It’s because of the behavior: the purity tests, the tribalism, the reflex to label anyone who disagrees, even slightly, as an enemy. One wrong word, one nuanced opinion, one “I don’t fully agree,” and suddenly you’re a fascist, a bigot, or “part of the problem.” That’s not activism. That’s a cult mindset.
Compromise is treated like betrayal. Questions are treated like violence. And “the science” gets invoked like a religious slogan, right up until the data becomes inconvenient, then it’s ignored, reframed, or shouted down. Meanwhile, the same people who demand empathy have none for anyone outside their in-group.
Normal people are exhausted. We want solutions, not moral grandstanding. We want reality, not ideology. And we’re done pretending this kind of insane extremism is “just being passionate.”
Sincerely,
Normal people everywhere
I don’t care if Alysa Liu is woke. I don’t care if the Tkachuk brothers are MAGA. It’s the Olympics. Celebrating incredible American athletes is a joy and a privilege. If you can’t find a way to do that as an American, it’s your loss.
Coastal Carolina is on a 25 game win streak and head coach Kevin Schnall is going to make sure his team gets the respect that they deserve.
Starting with the way their team name is pronounced. (@NCAABaseball)
Rest in power George Wendt. One of the greatest character actors of our generation.
