@SpeakerJohnson @POTUS Ya if it was that simple and didn’t have all the conditions attached to it! Posting it like this should be labeled false advertising!

[Robert Jones @robert_jones417]

@LauraLoomer @mtgreenee Seems like he should worry more about 40 million to Taliban, high gas prices, and actually passing bills not executive orders. Let the voters decide.

@OU_RecruitingHQ Definitely need upgrade at O-Line and have to be willing to take what the defense gives us every pass doesn’t have to be a deep ball underneath routes work

[Robert Jones @robert_jones417]

@BPrzybylo Any chance we run slants or shorter routes this week while not giving UT receivers a 10 yard cushion every play

[Robert Jones @robert_jones417]

@ParkerThune @arbuckle_ben @JimNagy_Sooners @LakeDawson_ @COACHSTACE_ @samspiegs @TravisSkol Any chance they are 2 deep on O-Line by next year

[Robert Jones @robert_jones417]

@dom_lucre Good on them!

@katiejwoo Idk why the Cardinals act like they don’t have money. If they continue on like this the seats will become more empty and they will not have money! Maybe if us fans stop paying they will start spending!

@LauraLoomer And that repentance and remission of sins should be preached in his name among all nations,beginning at Jerusalem

[Robert Jones @robert_jones417]

@LauraLoomer Luke24:45-47Then opened he their understanding,that they might understand the scriptures,And said unto them,Thus it is written,and thus it behoved Christ to suffer,and to rise from the dead the third day:

Anyone have suggestions on someone who’d want to represent me?
Will pay in baseball lessons or memberships.
(Ha… just kidding. But seriously.)

The Associated Press is suing me for using a photo of myself.
Not a stock image. Not a product shot.
A photo of me, pitching during my Major League Baseball career.

Let me explain how this works—so you or someone you know doesn’t get blindsided like I did.

I run a small sports training business in Little Rock, Arkansas.
After years of financial struggle from COVID shutdowns (especially brutal in Arkansas for gyms like mine), we were finally getting back on solid ground.

I hired someone to build a simple website to showcase who I am and the players I’ve helped.

That included a few images pulled from the internet.
Two of the three were photos of me from my playing days.

I didn’t think twice—because most people assume that if it’s a photo of you, and you’re not selling anything, it’s fine.

That’s where the Associated Press steps in.

Even though they’re a nonprofit, they don’t play nice.
They outsource their copyright enforcement to a firm called Higbee & Associates—a law firm that scours the internet for unlicensed images and threatens small business owners with lawsuits.

No warning. No cease and desist.
Just a demand letter threatening thousands in federal damages unless you “resolve” it on their website.

Here’s what I’ve learned:
•It doesn’t matter that the image is of you
•It doesn’t matter that you didn’t profit from it
•It doesn’t matter that you didn’t know it was copyrighted
•It doesn’t even matter that you took it down immediately

They want money.
And they target small, vulnerable businesses that don’t have legal departments or the resources to fight back.

I’m a father. A coach. A former pro athlete trying to give back to the next generation.
Now I’m being threatened with a $5,000 bill—for posting pictures next to my bio on the Proformance website.

So I’m sharing it louder.

If you’re a small business owner, trainer, speaker, or anyone building a website—do NOT assume that an image is free just because it’s online or of yourself.
These companies will come after you—fast and hard.

And if you’re wondering what kind of “journalism” the Associated Press is supporting with the money from these threats…
Join the club.

@SpencerGuard @BretBaier @marklevinshow I love and pray for Israel but it is full of humans and humans sin. God himself put them in captivity for sin. A person can love Israel and disagree with them. If we always say yes to someone do we actually love them?
