Mom and football fanatic of GB Packers and Tim Tebow. May the Favre be with you. Crazy about my kids and puppies. Politically Adrift. Choose 10VE 🫶

Prayers for my son. Hooah! His child play now becomes real.

Yet another former teammate of Aaron Rodgers speaking glowingly about him...

One day the bogus narrative about him will have to die.

[catherine mchugh @cosmicpull]

Crazy. We have an anti-Semitic problem with our youth.

“Not interested in working for a jew”
This kid applied to our job on handshake, we accepted him, and then he responded this.
He probably knows nothing about Jews accept for what they tell him in college and on social media. Sad world.

No, this isn’t a Real Madrid match in Bernabéu stadium

It’s 80,000 Catholics with Pope Leo XIV

Hate speech laws sound obvious until you ask the only question that matters:

Who decides what counts as “hate”?

Everyone imagines their side holding the pen. History suggests you should imagine your worst enemy holding it instead.

Sure, there are people in America who like international football. They fall into 4 groups:

Immigrants
Tourists
Americans who hate the USA and vow to leave whenever elections don't go their way, but then puss out and pretend to enjoy soccer as goth cosplay rebellion

[Zach Jacobson @zacobson]

Aaron Rodgers was better at his job, but the Packers aren’t who they are today without two people: Brett Favre and Ron Wolf. Mike Holmgren, Bob Harlan, and Reggie White all played a significant role, but Wolf’s trade for Favre laid the groundwork for everything that was to come.

[blighter @blightersort]

when a journalist -- especially one from 60 Minutes -- sobs that he's "been in combat for this country", it's good to remember this old video where Mike Wallace, perhaps the most legendary 60 Minutes journalist of all time, solemnly opined that he was "a journalist first, not an American" and so would not warn US troops of an enemy ambush if he learned of one.

just something to consider when a journalist from 60 Minutes tells you he's been in combat "for this country".

“He did something jaw-dropping to me. He read a statement from his phone.”

That is the issue right there.

Scott Pelley was not making an argument. He was applying emotional blackmail to CBS. It is the same tactic that works so well in corporate HR today: frame composure as coldness, preparation as cowardice, and discipline as moral failure.

But serious people write things down when the words matter.

Priests read from notes at funerals.
Presidents read prepared statements. Officers read casualty notifications. Judges read verdicts. They do it because mistakes are unacceptable.

That has been true since the beginning of parchment.

The disciples took notes after the death of Jesus and carried those words around the world.

Reading carefully is not weakness. It is reverence you imbecile.

MAGA fascist to her core? Susan Collins? She isn’t even MAGA fascist down to her granny panties. Some of these people need to update their software.

[Echoes of War @EchoesofWarYT]

Private Carlton Barrett was possibly the smallest man in his regiment.

5 feet 4 inches tall. 125 pounds.

On the morning of June 6, 1944, he landed at Omaha Beach in neck-deep water, machine gun fire cutting the surface all around him. He made it to shore.

Then he turned around and went back in.

A soldier was drowning. Barrett pulled him out. Then another. Then another. For hours, under constant fire, this 125-pound man waded back into the surf again and again, pulling drowning men to safety and physically carrying the wounded to evacuation boats offshore.

But he didn't stop there.

He ran dispatches the full length of the fire-swept beach. He found soldiers paralyzed by shock and calmed them back into action. He appeared wherever the crisis was worst, doing whatever needed doing, treating rank and personal safety as irrelevant details.

He did this for hours without stopping.

His Medal of Honor citation says his courage had "an inestimable effect on his comrades." That is military understatement for: this small, anonymous man held that section of beach together through sheer force of will.

He survived the war.

His comrades later said his life darkened after he came home. He lived quietly and died in 1986 in California, largely unknown outside of military history circles.

5 feet 4 inches. 125 pounds. He went back in.

Remember him.

@GrabienMedia We’re at the point where the word “fascist” doesn’t mean anything anymore.

[Tyler Cralle @tylercralle]

@GrabienMedia Defending a guy with a Nazi tattoo by calling his a political opponent “a fascist” is quite the move…

[Jonathan Turley @JonathanTurley]

In responding to a challenge from Sen. Fetterman to prove that he did not send naked pictures to women, Graham Platner immediately raised the Jews, declaring that Fetterman is a tool of AIPAC. It appears that the tattoo may be obscured, but a certain obsession remains...

[Patricia Heaton @PatriciaHeaton]

This is the problem. Their bubble is airtight.

The people who found outrageous Nazi symbolism in “Ok” hand signs can’t find it in a Nazi death squad chest tattoo

[Carol Roth @caroljsroth]

These people fascinate me (in the same way a train wreck fascinates the masses).

How do they believe the goods come into being?
What responsibilities do people have for their own needs?
Who defines “needs”?
Etc.

I’ve met savvier third graders.

@GovBobFerguson Have you thought about not spending millions of dollars on trans surgeries for convicted felons?

Susan Collins has a lifetime Heritage vote score of 24 percent. They will villify you even if you are moderate.
