Dave Ramsey said 78% of people don’t pay their credit card bills every month.
Tucker Carlson: What's wrong with having a credit card if you pay the balance every month?
Dave Ramsey: Most people don't.
Tucker Carlson: Most people don't?
Dave Ramsey: That's the great lie. 78% of people don't.
Tucker Carlson: No way.
Dave Ramsey: And they all talk around, talk about how everybody talks about this theoretical discipline that they just freaking don't have. And so, you know, uh...
Tucker Carlson: Wait, 78% roll the balance over month to month?
Dave Ramsey: Yeah. Just like 97% of the people don't pay a 30-year mortgage like a 15, so that it pays off in 15 because they promise themselves they would. "We're going to take out a 30 just in case we need to let up, but we're going to pay it like a 15." 97% do not systematically prepay.
And that's, that's um, you know, Federal Reserve statistics. I didn't make those numbers up. And so, it's just this idea that we have, we trust ourselves with this discipline that's really, just simply not there.
My frontal lobe fully developed, and I realized that working a 9 to 5 job five days a week until I am 60 just so I can “enjoy” a few years when I am close to death is the worst idea I have ever seriously considered.
A week ago our H.S. players were competing in front of 800-1,000 fans with a season on the line.
Last night they were playing a 16U travel game in front of about 20 people, 0 energy and no pressure.
Tell me again that travel baseball can replace the high school experience.
School Board: Minneapolis (@MPS_News)
When: June 2026
Topic: Deconstructing enrollment 🤡
I can't make this 💩up if I tried.
Board member Lori Norvell challenges us to look at enrollment "in a different way" because we look at things "through the lens of what we know as very white centered, Eurocentric education."
What's her suggestion?
"I don't know what we might have."
She just knows we need to do some deconstructing...
"I would challenge us to deconstruct our ideas on that, deconstruct the things that we're comfortable with, and really think about what is best for our Native American students and their families."
It's cool though, she hits all the right virtue signal words:
- Eurocentric
- white centered
- deconstruct
- harm
- comfortable/space
I just want all of you reading this to realize 19,774 people voted for Lori, and she holds a board position in a district with ~30k students.
It's worth the time really internalizing how crazy that is...
Does anyone else find it odd that $200 billion is spent on cancer research every single year...and the only thing to show for it is a 75% increase in cancer deaths since the 1990s?
Six of us went on a weekend trip for my friend’s bachelorette.
Before we booked anything, I was upfront:
“Guys, I’m on a tight budget right now. I can do max $150 for lodging. If it’s more than that, I’ll find my own place or skip.”
Everyone said, “No stress, we’ll find something cheap.”
A week later they booked a $3,200 luxury villa with a pool, hot tub, and “aesthetic” bedrooms for Instagram.
$533 per person.
I told them, “That’s way over what I said. I’m out.”
The bride got mad. “It’s my weekend! Don’t ruin this over $300!”
To keep the peace, I caved — but I booked myself in a $140/night motel 10 minutes away.
Trip comes. I sleep at the motel, hang out with them during the day, bring my own snacks and drinks. I didn’t use the pool, the hot tub, or even their kitchen.
Last night, the bride’s sister hands me a Venmo request: *$533*
“For your share of the house.”
I said, “I didn’t stay there. I paid for my own place like I said I would.”
She lost it. “But we booked it counting on 6 people! Now we all have to pay more!”
I didn’t argue.
I Venmo’d $60 with the note: “For gas + the charcuterie board I ate.”
Then I left for my motel.
Group chat exploded later. Half called me selfish.
But two other girls privately texted: “We wish we’d done what you did. We can’t afford this either.”
I went on the trip to celebrate my friend, not to finance a mansion I never slept in.
Twos high school teachers can’t afford to buy a house but a Somali that’s been in the states for a short period of time that doesn’t even have an education is driving around in a brand new Mercedes
The 8th best movie from the 1960's according to me is The Great Escape.
I had no idea this was a true story until after I saw it. Really good WWII film.
The Great Escape is my number 8.
I don’t know…maybe it’s just because I’ve worked outside of schools too much, but I continue to think that when someone acts in a public space such that they ruin everyone else’s experience, you should just kick them out.
The Billionaires don’t wake up at 5am. Teachers, nurses, bus drivers, etc., wake up at 5am. Billionaires wake up whenever they want because their wealth doesn’t come from their own labor.
It comes from the labor of people who will never be billionaires.
I am so in for this one.
Brad Pitt. Alaska. A plane crash. A retired Special Forces operator. One loyal combat dog. No CGI multiverse nonsense, no superheroes, no forced plot twists—just survival, grit, and man versus nature.
The fact that it’s directed by David Ayer and reunites him with Brad Pitt after Fury makes me even more bullish. Everything coming out of the early previews suggests it’s less of an action movie and more of a story about resilience, loyalty, grief, and survival.
“One last mission” is exactly the vibe.
Not saving the world.
Not stopping an alien invasion.
Just a broken warrior and the only partner he trusts trying to make it home.
That’s the kind of movie Hollywood forgot how to make.
September can’t get here fast enough. 🐺🏔️🐕🦺
The entire movie of Black Hawk Down (2001) is essentially one massive firefight. The brutal street battles, nonstop gunfire, and documentary-like realism make it one of the most intense war films ever made.
