College Football, man.

America’s greatest invention. @UKFootball

[Lee (Greater) @shortmagsmle]

I’m noticing a lot of foreigners who seem to not understand why we’d risk hundreds of lives, spend millions of dollars, and sacrifice several aircraft to rescue one guy. And the reason they don’t understand is also the reason people can’t be made American by a piece of paper.

If you remember these two calling Kentucky games, your childhood was awesome.

On the morning of September 11, 2001, Lt. Heather Penney was flying training missions out of Andrews Air Force Base when the radio crackled with words that changed everything: America was under attack. By the time she landed, the Twin Towers had been struck, the Pentagon was burning just miles away, and another hijacked plane was headed straight for Washington.

She and her commanding officer were ordered back into the air immediately. There was only one problem—their F-16s were loaded for training, not combat. No live missiles. No real ammunition. The order came through her headset anyway: stop that aircraft by any means necessary.

Heather understood what that meant. If they found the plane, they would have to ram it. A deliberate collision. No ejection. No survival. Her commander said, “I’ll take the cockpit. You take the tail.” There was a pause, and then her reply: “Roger that.”

She launched into the sky, breaking the sound barrier over Washington, the shockwaves rolling across a frightened city. As she climbed, her mind raced—not with fear, but with questions no training could answer. Where do you aim? How do you make sure it ends fast? How do you accept that this is your last flight?

She searched for United Flight 93, knowing that if she found it, she would not be coming home. But she never did. Two hundred miles away, the passengers had already made their stand, and the plane went down in a Pennsylvania field.

Heather flew patrol for hours afterward, guarding a sky already saved by ordinary people who refused to be weapons. When she finally landed, her crew chief was crying. He hadn’t expected to see her again.

Neither had she.

@alancornett Saw one as well in Louisville/Btown area last week.

Kentucky fans didn't boo because their team lost by 35.

They booed because they don't feel like their team seems to care that they lost by 35.

They booed because they are tired of waiting to be great again.

I still don't like it, but I understand it.

This stuff matters to people.

I explain better here:

The kid who sat in section 128 at Commonwealth Stadium is gonna be leading the Cats onto the field next fall. Welcome home!

[Sarandon Raboin @sarandon_raboin]

I asked UK Basketball icon John Pelphrey what it meant to have the rest of his 'unforgettables' with him at Rupp Arena tonight.

The answers spawned a 5 minute sermon about his love for Kentucky and this basketball program.

Here's just a piece of it

"When people stop talking, that's when you get violence." -Charlie Kirk

[Jeffery Mead @the_jefferymead]

Charlie Kirk was just assassinated in broad daylight and people on TikTok are celebrating.

These people are on the side who claims to be the side of “love and tolerance.”

A man’s life was taken and instead of mourning, they cheer. It is absolutely disgusting.

Pay attention. DO NOT ignore this behavior.

Miracles Witnessed While Filming of The Passion of the Christ: ✝️

No Hollywood studio would agree to make The Passion of the Christ, so Mel Gibson decided to create his own production company and fund the entire film himself.

While casting the role of Jesus, Mel Gibson warned Jim Caviezel:

"Playing Christ will be incredibly difficult. If you do this, you'll likely be rejected by Hollywood."

Jim took a day to pray. Then he told Mel:

"We have to make it, even if it is difficult. My initials are J.C., and I am 33 years old. The same age as Christ. I didn't realize that until now."

Mel paused: "You're really scaring me, you know." And hung up the phone.

What followed was the most brutal movie role in Hollywood history.

– Caviezel lost 45 pounds
– Was struck by lightning twice
– Whipped accidentally, leaving a 14-inch scar
– Dislocated his shoulder
– Suffered pneumonia & hypothermia after hanging the cross for hours in only a loincloth
– Filming the crucifixion took 5 weeks
– Later required TWO open-heart surgeries due to stress from the role

And still, his purpose was clear:
"I didn’t want people to see me. I just want them to see Jesus. Conversions will happen through that.”

And they did:

- Pedro Sarubbi, the actor who played Barabbas, said of Cavezel: “His eyes had no hatred... only mercy and love.” He later converted to Christianity.
- Luca Lionello (Judas): Former atheist, converted to Christianity after the film & baptized his children
- A Muslim technician on the movie converted to Christianity after the film.
Countless millions around the world were converted to Christianity through the film.

It grossed $611 million worldwide, becoming the most successful R-rated film in history.

But more than that—it changed hearts around the world showing the true pain of Christ’s suffering.

Jim Caviezel now proclaims Christ boldly:
A role that nearly destroyed him became the one that saved countless others.
