I bring home a trapped coyote and let it loose in the kitchen.
Hackles up. Teeth bared. Pissing on the floor.
My wife says, "Get it out."
I tell her that is a very unwelcoming and unchristian way to speak about a future house pet.
The children back into the hallway.
I tell them it's a rescue.
I tell them fences are fear.
I tell them cages are barbaric.
I tell them the old rules were cruel.
I tell them it will domesticate in time.
Then I grab my lunchbox and leave them to live with my principles.
When I get home, there is blood on the floor, and the experts who sold me on compassion are already explaining why nobody could have seen this coming.
Anyway, that's Western migration policy.
It will never cease to amaze me that in this nation, war dead get one day of remembrance a year.
But sleeping with the same sex gets you a whole month of adoration.
A fallen society. Backwards as hell.
The math behind Jesus being the Messiah is mind blowing.
Here are the odds:
8 specific prophecies fulfilled by one man:
1 in 100 quadrillion
48 prophecies:
1 in 10¹⁵⁷
That’s a number beyond human comprehension.
Jesus fulfilled 300–500+ Old Testament prophecies written centuries before His birth.
This isn’t chance.
This isn’t coincidence.
The odds are literally astronomical.
Our King is the real deal.

Augusta National Chairman Fred Ridley says golf has become "one-dimensional."
"Until recent years golf has been a game of imagination, creativity, and variety. The game has become much more one-dimensional."
Great soundbite. It's also directly contradicted by the USGA's Distance Insights Project. Here's what their research actually found.
Today's long hitters are good at everything.
Report R56 measured how closely driving distance was linked to every other skill on Tour. Longer hitters have improved their approach play. They have improved their short game. They have improved their putting.
R56's conclusion: "This can be interpreted as longer hitters becoming better at the non-driving distance parts of the game, while accurate hitters were becoming worse at the non-driving accuracy parts of the game."
Read that again. The USGA concluded long hitters are becoming MORE well-rounded. The straight hitters are becoming LESS well-rounded. If anyone is getting more "one-dimensional," it's the shorter hitting accurate players, not the bombers.
Report R14 (Mark Broadie) broke down what separates the top 40 players from the field: approach shots 36%, driving 32%, short game 17%, putting 14%. The single biggest contributor to elite scoring is still approach play. Non-driving skills account for 68% of the scoring advantage.
R56 analyzed every tee shot on every par 4 and par 5 on the PGA TOUR over 15 seasons using Shotlink data. Driving distance explains 3% of scoring variance on a hole. Where your ball ends up (fairway, rough, bunker) explains 9% of scoring variance on a hole. Where you hit it matters three times more than how far you hit it.
Ridley's claim "feels" right, but feelings aren't data. The USGA's research found that today's long hitters are more well-rounded than ever, approach play still matters more than driving, and distance explains 3% of scoring variance on a hole while where the ball ends up explains 9% of the scoring variance.
The game hasn't become one-dimensional.
The best players have added dimensions.
Finally got through this entire podcast… Here is the cliff notes version.
Theo Von- “Let’s talk about the fact that we are funding a genocide, an unjust war, and our government is ran by jewish lunatics.”
Rogan- “Nah man let’s talk about aliens, sex with robots, drugs, and vaccines.”
The older I get, the more I realize intelligence is overrated. Intelligent people are more likely to overthink, overplan, and overanalyze. They hide behind motion that doesn't create progress. They fear the judgment of others if they're proven wrong.
The truth is that intelligence is abundant. Courage is not. The people you admire are the ones who had the courage to act. They aren’t more talented than you. They aren’t smarter than you. They just took action when you didn’t.
I often wonder how many extraordinary people wasted their entire lives waiting for permission that never came. Permission isn't granted. It's taken. You get to tap yourself in whenever you want. You can just do things.
Courage beats intelligence.
