To you, it's just a Cracker Barrel parking lot. To me, it's where I gave my life to Jesus Christ.
I was 21 years old. I was working at the Cracker Barrel in Tallahassee after some of the worst years of my life. I'd made mistakes. Real ones.
I grew up in Crown Heights, Brooklyn, raised by a mom who worked hard and didn't accept excuses. But I made decisions that should have ended my story before it ever really started. By the grace of God, they didn't. But every day, I was carrying them.
One afternoon, a church group came into the restaurant, just back from a revival. I served them their meals like I served any other table. But something happened while I was serving them. I can't fully explain it to you. The Lord spoke to me. He said, “Stop running from Me.”
It knocked me back.
I went to find the table, and they were all gone. I could see through their windows that they were getting on their bus, and I knew deep down that if I let them drive away, I was going to keep running. So I went outside. The last woman, just as she was stepping onto the bus, turned to me and asked, “Are you okay?”
I told her, “No ma’am, I’m not okay.” I told her the Lord was telling me to stop running.
That whole bus emptied out, stood with me in the parking lot of a Cracker Barrel in Tallahassee, Florida, and prayed over me right there.
I gave my life to Christ that day. Right there.
I still get emotional about it. Because I know what I was before that moment, and I know what He's done since. He gave me a wife who shares my faith. He gave me three sons. He gave me a career, a community, a calling I never would have dared to ask for. He took a kid from Crown Heights who’d run out of chances and gave him a life that doesn't make sense apart from grace.
People ask me sometimes why I talk about it. Why I bring up the parking lot. Why I don't just keep that part private and let folks see the polished version.
I'll tell you why.
Because there's a young man out there right now — maybe in Tallahassee, maybe in Tampa, maybe in Miami, maybe in a small town in the Panhandle — who thinks his story is already over. Who thinks the mistakes he's made disqualify him from the life he could have had. Who thinks God doesn't want anything to do with somebody like him.
I'm here to tell him: that's a lie.
In life, you're not who you are at the lowest point. You're who you choose to become after.
The Lord met me in a Cracker Barrel parking lot. He'll meet you wherever you are.
You just have to stop running.

Hello Mr. Hunter Biden,
You're getting six-digit likes on every post lately. I don't have any hope to ratio you or whatever through traditional "Hello" means.
But for those uninitiated, those who are captivated by your fake-humble persona obviously PR-engineered to capture unsuspecting disaffected Republicans:
You are not some humility, witty guy turning over a new leaf. You are the ultimate proof of nepotism, everything that the so-called "Epstein Class" is supposed to represent.
Let me explain - off the top of my head.
You were a board member of USGLC. U.S. Global Leadership Coalition. The most powerful NGO that nobody's ever heard of. Last year, I documented in several threads, how Liz Schrayer, USGLC lead, took credit for ramming through a 90 billion dollar bill for Ukraine in 2024, even as @mattvanswol demonstrated that Western North Carolina got zero help in the aftermath of Hurricane Helene because FEMA threw up their hands and said they ran out of funds.
USGLC, arguably, is the most powerful NGO that nobody has ever heard of. It includes a bunch of corporations, a bunch of nonprofit leads, and ... for some magical reason, I documented, extensively, linked, that Liz Schrayer started pursuing you in 2012. During the Obama years, when you were Biden's son. Are you a former Secretary of State? No. Are you a CEO of a Fortune 500 company? No. That puts you below the average USGLC board member, by a good tier.
So what DID get you on USGLC? The only reason: that you were the son of a sitting Vice President known for corruption, and you yourself were known for corruption.
You are not "folksy." You are the worst of the worst of the elite. Most of the elite, at least, get their credentials through Georgetown/George Washington/Harvard Kennedy. You got yours purely on nepotism. Any photographs you have of yourself at motels is proof that you are so incompetent that you waste all your money, not that you come from humble beginnings. Because others like @MarcoPolo501c3 have thoroughly documented that you benefited a great deal from your nepotism.
You even tried to bait those in with saying you prefer to keep immigration "legal" - but we all know the trap that keeps illegal immgrants here: outlaw deportations, and make every immigrant case "asylum", and magically, everyone who might've been here illegally a few years ago is legal.
You may get 175K likes on your semi-subverting, PR-designed photographs. But those of us who know, know you're fake.

@kaur_kirenkaur@RudyGiuliani@grok The same criminals have taken over the Democrat Party & many in Congressional Republican leadership. It’s disgusting the fraud they have allowed. They had 14 magic money printing computers at the Treasury sending money to whoever they chose without audit!
This IS IMPOSSIBLE, and yet, the Senate will not pass the Save America Act.
39.3% vote in…
Karen Bass had 117,579

The judge who ordered Trump's name stripped from the Kennedy Center married his wife in a ceremony officiated by Merrick Garland.
That wife, Amy Jeffress, represented Lisa Page during the FBI texting scandal, helped the Jan. 6 committee, and now serves as Joe Biden's personal attorney. Her former law firm represented E. Jean Carroll against Trump.
Trump says Judge Christopher Cooper has 'a total Conflict of Interest' and asserts he can't be treated fairly in Cooper's court.
BREAKING: The US Department of Transportation confirms to @FoxNews that they have issued a subpoena to the state of NY after they allege the state has refused to cooperate with their investigation into Jing Shen Dong, the bus driver who allegedly caused a crash that killed five people in Stafford County, VA on Friday morning. DOT says Dong is a naturalized US citizen who was born in China, doesn't speak English, and received his commercial driver's license (CDL) from the state of New York.
DOT says the subpoena is a result of not being able to "obtain the requested documents through other reasonable means."
DOT is demanding that New York turn over records on Dong's CDL, his entry level driving training, and the driving school he attended. DOT says those documents must be turned over by Wednesday at 10AM ET, or face consequences/penalties.
After AG Todd Blanche stated that the only way to hold fraudsters accountable is to put them in jail, Will Cain followed up with the question we all want answers to:
“Does that include politicians?”
Blanche answered:
“That’s consistent with the President’s absolute directive to his Department of Justice. It does not matter if you’re a politician or if you’re a fraudster from Somalia, we can not tolerate it.”
If true, the majority of politicians in America are going to jail.
DO IT!

Today's story behind the numbers: This #FBI worked with partners take down a brutally violent sex trafficker in Houston.
After an FBI investigation with state and local partners in Texas, Jonathan Smith-Byrd was recently found guilty of forcing three children and two women into prostitution over several years in Texas, Nevada, Louisiana, Florida, and New Mexico. Smith-Byrd violently assaulted and trafficked his victims while keeping 100% of the proceeds from the illicit activities.
@FBIHouston led the investigation through the multi-agency Human Trafficking Rescue Alliance, which has been recognized as a national and international model for its anti-trafficking efforts. It’s one of the many models this FBI has built to embed with partners, share intelligence, and crush human traffickers all over the country – arresting nearly 3,000 human traffickers and child predators since last year, a 70% increase.
Thanks to this entire team for rescuing these women from a nightmare and safeguarding our local communities.
