guy murdered his son/daughter in the womb and comes to X to try and justify it. Don’t explain to us… you will have to explain it to somebody else when you die. @McJuggerNuggets
This week, my wife and I made the very difficult decision to terminate the pregnancy due to Trisomy 21.
The choice was not made lightly. We really appreciate all of the personal stories that you guys shared with us, especially the unconditional support we received from fans with no matter what we decided.
I know some of you may be very disappointed to hear this news. We are devastated. This has been extremely traumatic for both of us, especially Ashley.
She underwent the procedure earlier this week and is on the mend. Thankfully, everything went smoothly, but emotionally we are drained.
Trisomy 21, also known as Down Syndrome, is caused by an extra chromosome. It is caused by an error in cell division, like a glitch. The odds of a baby having it is 1 in 1000.
When I first confronted this news, I was shocked but optimistic. If they’re a little slow intellectually, then we’ll make it work. I signed on to be a parent, come what may…but I just didn’t fully understand what Down Syndrome entailed.
Once we made it public, it became clear that MOST people don’t know what Down Syndrome entails (and no, it’s not the same as Autism):
50% of babies with DS have heart defects. 75% will have hearing challenges. Over 50% will have vision problems. Impaired immune function, developmental disabilities, learning disabilities, delayed physical development, poor muscle tone, structural issues with face, decreased lifespan, etc…Sadly, the list is long, feel free to look it up…Down Syndome isn’t a “blessing”, it is objectively shitty from a health perspective.
I didn’t realize just how rough it is for the child, let alone the family…more often than not, they would be fully dependent on others for the rest of their life.
The miscarriage risk is also close to 50%, which made matters worse…they may never see the light of day and it puts Ashley further at risk.
We spoke with doctors, friends, family and genetic counselors and learned that up to 90% of women terminate their pregnancy after learning the baby has Trisomy 21.
This was WAY higher than I expected, I thought it would be lower given that I hear so many say they kept or would keep the baby. I believe that’s because most terminations happen privately, it feels shameful. A lot of judgment being cast.
You never think you’d be in this type of situation until it happens to you and then things change.
To all of my fans who have weighed in on this topic who have Autism, Down Syndrome or any other conditions…we appreciate you. You matter a lot and we’re glad you’re here. I commend you and your families for having the strength and courage to push forward.
As for us, we made a difficult decision that we believe in the long-run will be beneficial for our family. Thankfully, we had a choice.
It will take a little time to move on, but we are excited to try again in the future and hopefully have a better outcome.
Love you guys & thank you for understanding. ❤️
if this guy didn’t have his company and advertising revenue he would be broke…. I think they pay him to lose more cause he has such a great following and for what? I don’t know
I bought 265 acres in Weatherford, Tx in January 2016. At the time it was rural and its purpose was to raise my kids hunting and fishing as much as possible.
Fast forward to 2021 and my neighbor sells his 220 acres to a developer. I now have 2 acre lots down my entire western fenceline.
That doesn’t change what we do at all, it’s just annoying sitting in the deer stand and hearing nail guns at 7 am…
So now I’m left with a tough decision…the best way to monetize it would be to chop it up, replat it myself and piece off smaller lots. Or go the data center route…
The last option and the one I’m leaning towards is keep it. My cost basis is so low, my kids love it, and the holding cost is minimal since it’s all in Ag.
What would you do?
@thechek182 And animals and with each other obviously would be almost impossible. It would be like winning the Milly maker every single week for 4 years straight. Literally impossible lmaoooo … the law is written on your heart brother. Find the law maker/giver.
@thechek182 Brother with all due respect I admire your DFS knowledge but you can’t be serious? I’m not even saying you have to believe in a certain God but to think that mortal men with money are a higher power. Us even existing in the first place with a symbiotic relationship to plants
Lotta guys playing next week for whom if you are not a sicko, you may be unaware of. So without further ado,
Zurich Classic Pairings Review for Newbies:
Taylor Pendrith/Mackenzie Hughes: The Canadian Sir Duncan & The Egg
Garrick Higgo/Matt Kuchar: I hope young Higgo isn’t looking for tips from the veteran Kuchar. Kuchar never ever gives tips.
Rafael Campos/Alejandro Tosti: You can’t steal their thunder, as they are the storm.
Chandler Phillips/Carson Young: These are the exact names of every fraternity pledge co-chairmen at every SEC school.
Michael Brennan/Johnny Keefer: Their caddies are excited as they’ll only need to carry a driver, gap wedge, and putter all week.
Gordon Sargent/Nick Dunlap: In alternate shot will go -18 on the even holes and +18 on the odds.
David Lipsky/Rico Hoey: Lipsky, after being the worst putter on tour for years, is now putting well! It will all be undone after being around Rico this week.
Chad Ramey/Justin Lower: Sneak preview of the final group at Corales Punta Cana later this year.
Tom Kim/Kevin Yu: The trophy engraver’s pick to win this week.
Dan Brown/John Parry: These are names you use when checking into a cheap motel with a hooker, not actual golfers.
Charley Hoffman/Nick Watney: If you had told 2007 me that 20 years later I could still bet on these two in a PGA Tournament I’d have assumed we are now living in utopia.
I ordered these @DwyaneWade shoes, but after wearing them once and getting blisters on my feet, I realized they run small and I need a size up. After weeks of back and forth with @WayofWade , they deemed them too worn to be returned. In 2026 you just can’t run a business this way
the irony of the first tweet (Not Adam’s) but how fkn stupid to say “maybe you’re a natural born slave” while literal depending on the government to feed you. What a fucking idiot.
