"Hey Tim Scott,
You spent years tap dancing through every interview, every speech, every Sunday show appearance telling America that racism was basically over and that your success story proved everybody else just needed to work harder and complain less.
You carried water for people who mocked civil rights, demonized poor people, gutted diversity programs, attacked voting rights, and treated Black history like a disease.
And for what?
No VP slot.
No cabinet throne.
No real power.
Not even basic respect.
You confessed your admiration on national television for people who viewed you as nothing more than a convenient talking point — the “See? We have one!” guy standing in the background smiling on cue.
Then the second you showed the smallest trace of independence and questioned that disgusting Obama monkey post, your own side turned on you like starving wolves.
Suddenly the loyal house servant wasn’t loyal enough.
Now you’re sitting in a car recording cellphone videos reminding the world that you’re still Black.
Trust us, Senator — nobody forgot.
The problem is that you spent so much time trying to convince other people that racism wasn’t real that now, when it smacks you directly in the face, you want sympathy from the same community you lectured for years.
You defended the people stripping away protections for minorities, women, the poor, and working-class families. You stood beside people cheering the destruction of programs our grandparents marched, bled, and died for.
And now you look shocked that the crowd you entertained never actually saw you as an equal.
The Bible talks about the Prodigal Son returning home after losing everything.
But the Prodigal Son came home humble.
You spent years helping burn the house down.
And now you’re politically homeless:
too Black for the people you defended,
too eager to defend them for the people you abandoned.
That’s the tragedy of selling your dignity for a seat at a table that was never meant for you.
Tim, you may be the PRODIGAL SON, BUT YOU CAN’T COME HOME."
We saw it coming. He didn't want to.

Unlike Admiral Bradley, Navy Admiral Alvin Holsey resigned and refused to go along with Pete Hegseth's illegal orders.
RETWEET to thank Admiral Holsey for standing up for the Constitution!
Admiral Alvin Holsey was Forced to Resign After Refusing to Carry Out Illegal Boat Strike Orders from Trump Administration.
Admiral Holsey expressed concern for civilian casualties. Secretary Hegseth pushed back and reminded the admiral of his sworn duty. Admiral Holsey informed Hegseth that he had no intention of carrying out an illegal order after 40 years of service in the U.S. Navy.
In response, Hegseth threatened to strip Holsey of his command. The meeting became heated and quickly adjourned. Less than 15 minutes later, Secretary of Defense Pete Hegseth received Admiral Alvin Holsey's letter of resignation.
In recent days, members of Congress have reached out to Admiral Holsey requesting him to testify on events surrounding his resignation. Admiral Holsey has receipts and has agreed to testify.
Holsey is recognized for breaking barriers as the first Black commander of SOUTHCOM and for his dedication to partnerships and strategic challenges in the Americas.
Nigerian inventor Nelson Emeka reportedly built a water-powered generator in 2018. At just 22 years old and without a university degree, he created a machine capable of producing power using only a small amount of H2O.
Even more remarkable, Emeka constructed the device using scrap materials he collected from dustbins, turning discarded items into a groundbreaking invention. His innovation shows that even with limited access to coal, gas, or solar panels, it is still possible to generate energy in alternative ways.
With Emeka’s water-powered generator, communities that depend heavily on generators could potentially avoid rising energy costs and benefit from a cleaner, more sustainable power source.
