We keep seeing stories of Democrats demanding entry into ICE facilities to see how illegal aliens are being treated...

Y'all ever see one at a VA hospital checking on veterans?

Me either....

Your government will cheerfully let you:

- Drink until your liver waves a white flag
- Smoke forty a day for fifty years
- Inhale a kebab at 3am with a fistful of chips and a fizzy drink the colour of antifreeze
- Eat ultra-processed gunge until you're diabetic at thirty-four
- Swallow pills with a side-effects leaflet folded like a road map
- Get inked by a bloke called Spider in a garage that smells of Dettol and regret
- Hurl yourself out of a perfectly good aeroplane
- Climb a frozen mountain that kills experienced men every year
- Pay good money to swim with sharks

But there is one substance so dangerous, so reckless, that a grown adult cannot be trusted with it:

- Milk. From a healthy cow. On a clean farm. The next village over.

They'll wave you onto the skydive and the shark cage, then step in to save you from a glass of the stuff your great-grandparents drank every single morning of their lives.

Funny, that.

The overwhelming majority of parents nationwide are monumentally delusional when evaluating their son's athletic abilities.

A dog welcoming you home after a long day is the best feeling in the world.

Life was better when there was a ‘computer room.’ Where you had to physically enter the room to get on the internet and then log off and leave that room and the internet stayed behind. The minute we were able to take it with us in our pockets that’s when society collapsed fully

[Trophy Dad @HypertrophyHub]

Once you realize that you can cook *most* restaurant food at home for a fraction of the price your standards for good food/dining subsequently rise.

You then become much more choosy when eating out, and in the process end up saving money in the long run.

Now we are announcing high school kids transferring to other high schools.

This is getting old and tired really fast.

Is it just me, or is it only out-of-shape people who eat salads?

Fit people are usually eating meat, eggs, rice, potatoes, and shit like that.

Playing hard is a skill many kids don’t have

[Anthony Bonner @AMB2Live]

Kids do not watch basketball to learn the game anymore and it shows!!

[Coach Hill @CoachMarcusHill]

Room temperature take: today’s young athlete plays so many games that they rarely care much about losing anymore.

The American deer camp was, between approximately 1880 and 1990, the autumn ritual of every rural family in the upper Midwest, the Northeast, and the Appalachians.

A cabin in the woods. Three or four men, three generations sometimes, who got there on the Friday before opening day, lit the wood stove, drank coffee that had been on the burner since 4am, played cards, told the same stories they had told the year before, and went out at first light on Saturday with rifles their grandfathers had owned.

A buck taken cleanly with one shot. Field-dressed in the snow. Hung in the woodshed. Butchered the next weekend in the garage with the family. Forty pounds of venison in the chest freezer. Steaks for the winter. Sausage made by the grandfather with a recipe nobody had written down. A roast for Thanksgiving. The hide tanned and turned into mittens for the youngest grandson.

The deer was free. The freezer was full. The boys learned to shoot, to clean a rifle, to gut an animal, to butcher it, to thank the woods for the deer, to be quiet for hours at dawn in the cold and notice things.

Roughly 14 million Americans hunted in 1980. By 2020 that number was 11.5 million, and the average hunter age had risen from 35 to 51. The next generation is not coming up.

Suburbanization removed the woods from the back door. Liability fears closed private lands. Public hunting access shrank. Time pressure on working families killed the long weekend at camp. The cultural drift made hunting socially suspect, then unfashionable, then, in some quarters, taboo.

The number of American teenagers who have ever fired a rifle, gutted an animal, or watched their grandfather butcher a deer in the garage on a November Sunday afternoon is, in 2026, statistically vanishing.

The freezer that used to be full of free, lean, grass-fed wild protein is full of ground beef from a Smithfield CAFO in Iowa.

The skill is one generation deep. If the grandfather did not pass it to the father, and the father did not pass it to the son, the chain is broken. YouTube is, at the moment, where the few remaining young hunters are getting most of their training.

A small American tradition that fed families for a century, taught a sequence of practical and moral lessons no textbook can replace, and connected three generations to the land their ancestors lived on, is closing down quietly, camp by camp, season by season.

The cabin is still there. The stove still works. The buck is still in the woods.

The grandfather is in the cemetery on the hill above the cabin. He cannot take the boy himself.

Somebody else has to.

@mwhiteburgh @JWLaskey Class act. Thank you for the opportunities coach, and especially for the friendship.

Here's something I've noticed: I've never met or heard of anyone who regrets skipping the vaccine. There are exactly zero people out there complaining that they stayed unvaccinated.

Zero.

On day 1 of my high school history class, our professor got up and said

You are 15 or 16 years old. 200 years ago people your age were married, planted crops, had children, and built a cabin by winter. You can do your homework. The bar set for you historically is embarrassingly low. You are not dealing with regional famine or plague. You do not have to save your family from marauders or go into battle to destroy your enemies. You have to sit down and learn from someone who cares about you in a safe, air-conditioned room. You have no excuses.
