Rest In Peace Jim Copenhaver
On July 13, 2024, Jim went to Butler to hear President Trump speak.
A left-wing psycho opened fire on the President and struck multiple supporters in the crowd. Corey Comperatore was killed. Trump was hit in the ear. Jim was shot twice once in the arm, once in the abdomen.
He fought for two years after that day. Multiple surgeries. Permanent injuries. Bullet fragments still in his body.
Left-wing violence has very real and deadly consequences. This evil must be rejected.
Pray for Jim’s family 🙏🏻

The capture of Cherbourg cost the American VII Corps 3,000 dead, 3,000 missing and 13,500 wounded. By the end of the Battle of the Cotentin, with the final surrender on 1 July at Cap de La Hague, the German forces had left behind 11,000 dead and 39,000 prisoners. Cherbourg was the first French port liberated by the Americans. Thus, on 16 July, the first large ships were able to dock.

Lou Holtz hails from the cradle of football civilization that is the land between eastern Ohio/Ohio Valley & Western Pennsylvania/Steel Valley that includes Joe Montana, Joe Namath, Mike Ditka, Tony Dorsett, Dan Marino, Curt Cignetti, Terry Hanratty, Johnny Unitas, Jim Kelly and scores more who almost all have deep faith as well as athletic superpowers either as coaches or players. Holtz hails from "the pottery capital of the world" East Liverpool Ohio; he played for the local high school football team, the Potters, and went on to achieve greatness as a coach.
Holtz, who has reportedly entered into hospice care at the age of 89, is beloved both off and on the field; sending prayers to the Holtz family and thankfulness to Lou who I've had the honor of meeting several times for the inspiration he has been.

Real civil rights leaders fight for truth, not power. Charlie Kirk was one of them.
"Charlie Kirk was a civil rights Icon.
Charlie Kirk was a civil rights leader... It's time to call him, Charlie Kirk, a civil rights leader."
