BREAKING: A reporter asked Mike Johnson at a press conference today, “Should we bother asking you any questions about Trump reigniting his illegal Iran War without any Constitutionally mandatory Congressional deliberation and authorization... or have you not heard about it yet?"
I spoke to my old friend Mitch McConnell this morning, the senior Senator from Kentucky. He’s still recovering in the hospital. We talked for just shy of 45 minutes. He's so sharp. Just like always he let me do all of the talking. He's a great listener. After that we prayed silently for awhile and had a staring contest. Just like always, he beat me. I told him we want to see him back at work as soon as possible.
Democrats - knock off the stupid ideological food fight. Find someone who can speak articulately about housing and gas costs, corruption, doesn't have a Nazi tattoo, and isn't over 80. It's not that hard.
They say all countries are created equal.
But then you look at the United States of America, and then you look at everybody else and you know that statement ain’t true.
See, every country’s got a 50/50 chance of being the greatest at best.
But America’s not every country.
You take that 50% chance, add 250 years of freedom, multiply it by the strongest military on Earth, multiply that by millions of hard-working Americans, then add the Stars and Stripes and one bald eagle.
Now everybody else looks at that equation and they KNOW they can’t compete.
So everybody else’s 50% chance drastically goes down.
And America’s chance of being the greatest country on Earth goes up to 141 2/3%!
The numbers don’t lie. And they spell disaster for anyone who thinks they can compete with the United States of America!
Happy 250th Birthday, America! 🇺🇸
HOLLA IF YA HEAR ME!
It’s pretty fucking disgusting that we live in a country where climbing the Empire State Building is a crime but rich people touching little kids isn’t.
Hey just wanted to mention something I just remembered.
I thought congress was supposed to investigate the J6 investigation and throw us all in jail? What happened? Maybe they realize we were…. Right?
Or am i misremembering?
Elon Musk once jokingly offered to end World Hunger, asking how much it would cost as if it would be some incalculable number.
When the UN replied saying 6.6 Billion would be enough to immediately end Famine for the year he never responded, and a few months later bought Twitter for 44 Billion.
You struggle and suffer because people like him are allowed to exist, not because your neighbor is an immigrant.
Hunter Biden on Graham Platner: I always say to people: show me your phone. Give me access to your iCloud. Let’s go through it and pull everything we can find that’s inappropriate.
And if that’s the standard by which we’re going to judge people, particularly people in elected office, then I don’t think we’re going to have many people in elected office.
And so, as it relates to Graham Platner, I focus on this: I have not heard anything, in any way, that would lead me to believe he is an abusive, misogynistic, anti-Semitic, or racist person.
I have heard this from Graham Platner: that he thinks we should all have free health care.
I have also heard this from Graham Platner: that he thinks we have to radically change our politics.
I have heard this from Graham Platner: that working people are getting fucking screwed.
To everyone so eager to cancel someone for a tattoo they got at age 22, a drunk text, a selfie they took in the middle of a mental health crisis:
Show us your laptop.
Show us your iCloud.
Open your entire digital life to your worst enemy. No context. No filter. No explanation.
You won’t.
You won’t because you know what I know. Any one of us, frozen at our worst moment, photographed in our lowest hour, looks like a monster. Looks like a stranger. Looks like someone who deserves to be cast out.
That is not who we are.
My mom and baby sister were killed in a car accident when I was just a kid. Cancer took my brother Beau, my best friend and my rock. I battled alcoholism. I battled addiction. I chose the coward’s way out more times than I can count.
For years I believed the defining chapters of my life were written by tragedy, loss, and shame.
I no longer believe that.
Pain can shape us. Loss can humble us. Failures can leave scars that never fully fade. But none of them have the authority to define us.
And it sure as hell ain’t the critic that counts.
That authority belongs to us alone-the person in the arena.
Every setback presents a choice. Play the victim, or cut the bullshit and take ownership for who we become next.
Life does not determine our character. It reveals it.
Again and again we are asked the same question. When shit happens, what next?
We are not defined by what happened to us. We are not defined by the worst photo, the worst text, the worst tattoo, the worst night. We are defined by the person we choose to become. And by the courage to choose that person, every single day.
So before you reach for the gavel - show us your laptop.
You won’t.
The whole world saw mine. And I am still here. Still becoming. Still choosing. Still standing.
That is the only definition that matters.
