Scoop from a trained sniper:

“That whole thing was a fucking failure.

The Secret Service got there slow, the swat team got there slow. And Why the fuck did they keep him on the stage?

He should’ve been off of there in two seconds!! yet they stand him up !!! For what ??? to give the shooter another shot?

Look at the old Reagan assassination attempt. He was out of there in point two seconds.

Why didn’t a drone pick him up? Why didn’t another Sniper pick him up. That’s fucking bullshit.

We cover the Boston Marathon fucking better than our they cover our own fucking president

I’m so bullshit !! If anyone says how great of a job the secret service or swat team did .. they are full of shit. They sucked! They should be ashamed of themselves and all fucking fired.”

@thepivot @R_Mendenhall @Realrclark25 @FredTaylorMade @OfficialCrowder Ryan, I appreciate the effort that you display in establishing equality and fairness in life and sports. However, that young man is hurting based on someone's perceived reality of who is, and that moment is defining him as a human.

Nick Saban said, "There are 3 things we can't have: We can't have complacency, we can't have selfishness, and we can't lose our accountability."

Accountability means taking ownership.

It means holding everyone to the standard.

Accountability is not only what you do, but also what you don't do.

It's foundational to trust and building trust within yourself and your team.

Success doesn't happen without accountability.

6 Principles of Accountability:
1. Acceptance - It means acknowledging your responsibilities and taking ownership of your actions to move forward. Know what you want, believe in it, and make it a priority. Be clear and specific about your values, standards, and environment.

2. Clarity - It means defining the standard and the expectations you expect from yourself and others. This is essential for communication. When you have a clear standard, you have a roadmap to follow, and it makes accountability much easier.

3. Honesty - Be honest with yourself and others. Be truthful and transparent about your actions, decisions, and outcomes, even when they are challenging or unfavorable. Build trust and credibility by being honest with others (and yourself) when you don't meet the standard that was set.

4. Courage - Have the courage to admit mistakes, address problems, and take corrective actions. There will be times you fall short, but having courage means demonstrating a consistent commitment to accountability and growth. By being courageous, you build confidence in the process.

5. Leadership - People do what people see. Set the tone and be the example of change that you want to see. Leadership means leading others and leading yourself by embracing the standard. When leaders hold themselves accountable, it sets an example for others to follow.

6. Trust - Accountability thrives in an environment of trust. When you trust yourself, you know what to expect. When you trust others, you can expect them to stick to their word because you know their values, standards, and what they stand for. Communication is easier when you trust people.

"Failing to hold someone accountable is ultimately an act of selfishness." - Patrick Lencioni

The Virginia Calculator: Thomas Fuller, the slave with remarkable calculation power who was used by antislavery campaigners as a demonstration that blacks were not mentally inferior to whites.

Thomas Fuller, an African sold into slavery in 1724 at the age of 14, was sometimes known as the “Virginia Calculator” for his extraordinary ability to solve complex math problems in his head.

Rumors circulated that he was a servant. However, he could not read or write, which was not uncommon among slaves at the time. Some believed that he may have gained his skills with math in his homeland in Africa.

His case was often cited by abolitionists of the time as proof that Blacks were in no way mentally inferior to whites. Born in Africa somewhere between present-day Liberia and Benin, Fuller was enslaved and shipped to America in 1724 at the age of 14, eventually becoming the legal property of Presley and Elizabeth Cox of Alexandria, Virginia.

Both Fuller and the Coxes were illiterate. The Coxes owned 16 slaves, and appeared to value Fuller the most; he expressed gratitude for not being sold.
Stories of his abilities abounded through the Eastern seaboard. His skill was even used as proof that enslaved Blacks were equal to whites in intelligence, which fueled some pro-abolitionist discussion.

When Fuller was about 70 years old, William Hartshorne and Samuel Coates of Pennsylvania were in Alexandria and, having heard of Fuller's powers, sent for him. They asked him two questions which satisfied their curiosity.

First, when they asked him how many seconds there were in a year and a half, he answered in about two minutes, 47,304,000.

Second, when they asked how many seconds a man has lived who is 70 years, 17 days and 12 hours old, he answered in a minute and a half 2,210,500,800.

One of the men was working out the problems on paper, and informed Fuller that he was wrong, because the answer was much smaller. Fuller hastily replied, "'Top, massa, you forget de leap year." When the leap year was added in, the sums matched.

Despite Fuller's perfect answers, it appeared to Hartshorne and Coates that his mental abilities must have once been greater. They wrote:
He was gray-headed, and exhibited several other marks of the weakness of old age. He had worked hard upon a farm during the whole of life but had never been intemperate in the use of spirituous liquors. He spoke with great respect of his mistress, and mentioned in a particular manner his obligations to her for refusing to sell him, which she had been tempted to by offers of large sums of money from several persons. One of the gentlemen, Mr. Coates, having remarked in his presence that it was a pity he had not an education equal to his genius, he said, "No, Massa, it is best I had no learning, for many learned men be great fools."
