Dear Followers & Subscribers:
We have a great community here on X. So many of you are so supportive of me and my mission, it is heartwarming and I am more appreciative than you may ever know. Thank you.
I am a figure who speaks his mind without hesitation on political and social matters for which I am knowledgeable based on my experience and education, and therefore my views are often controversial.
This has a side effect of attracting a very small number of unfortunate souls who are obsessed with me and have engaged in behaviors that have resulted in insane consequences in my private life, including death threats.
I encourage vigorous debate about political and social matters, but some people are unable to distinguish between opinions they disagree with and the person speaking such opinions. These people become obsessed and present actual danger IRL.
When I encounter such people online, I do everything in my power to avoid them and never engage them in hopes that they will come to their senses. Sometimes it works. Sometimes it does not. Nevertheless, I steadfastly attempt to defuse such people by ignoring them. (While also maintaining private, personal security--yes, that's where it is at.)
Please do not feel the need to independently rise to my defense with such people. While I am very appreciative of your care and concern, when dealing with such people you are putting yourself at actual risk and stirring up their irrational behavior. Please do not put yourself in that position on my behalf.
Thank you.
Sincerely,
CP

82 years ago today, Sgt. James Phillip Connor hits the beach with the 3rd Infantry Division under a wall of heavy fire for Operation Dragoon.
His patrol had one job: neutralize the heavily fortified German positions staring down at the landing zone.
Minutes in, a hanging mine detonated & the blast kills his platoonโs Lt. & tears open Connorโs neck. Bleeding heavily, he refuses medical aid, rallies the men, & drives them across a mine-laced beach under relentless mortar & machine-gun fire.
When two German snipers pin down his squad, Connor took aim & dropped them both.
Moments later, the platoon Sgt. was killed. Connor assumed command.
Then shrapnel shredded his shoulder & back, but he refused evacuation again, telling his men heโll stay in the fight until he physically can't stand.
He guided his unit through intense mortar fire, driving them toward a cluster of buildings crawling with snipers & machine guns.
A third strike hits & Connor takes a bullet directly to the leg.
He collapsed from his leg wound as his leg canโt hold his weight. He then handed command off, but he refused to stop fighting. Lying face down in the dirt, he shouted orders, directing the assault on the enemy stronghold.
Inspired by his refusal to quit, his surviving men, reduced to under a third of their original 36, storm the buildings & wreaked havoc on the Germans:
-7 enemy soldiers killed
-40 prisoners taken
-3 machine guns captured
-Objectives completely secured
Connor survived his wounds, spent months in military hospitals, and on March 15, 1945, was awarded the Medal of Honor.
After the war, he returned home to Delaware & spent decades working for the Veterans Administration, fighting for other veterans to get their benefits. ๐บ๐ธ
US Navy SEAL Petty Officer 1st Class Brian Ouellette gave his life in Afghanistan for our country.
On May 29, 2004, the 37-year-old Massachusetts native and three other US Special Operations service members were Killed In Action when their Humvee struck an improvised explosive device during a mounted patrol in Zabul Province, Afghanistan.
The vehicle had swerved to avoid another explosive device on the road while the team was returning to their base of operations near Kandahar Airport. All four were assigned to the Combined Joint Special Operations Task Force-Afghanistan.
Ouellette was posthumously recognized with the Bronze Star Medal with "V" device for valor, the Purple Heart, and numerous other awards reflecting a distinguished career of more than 14 years.

โWe didnโt storm the beaches of Normandyโฆ didnโt bleed and die in the trenches of World War Iโฆ didnโt sacrifice everything in World War IIโฆ JUST TO BE LECTURED BY NEWCOMERS on why America is โracistโ and โflawedโ!โ
Do you think Hamilton and Jefferson fought and died for YOU?
250 years of American bloodโfrom Gettysburg to Belleau Wood to Iwo Jimaโonly for first- and second-generation arrivals to march in and declare:
โYour Constitution is garbage. The Founders were racists. When we take power, weโre tearing it all down.โ
ENOUGH.
This is OUR country. We built it. We defended it with our lives.
If you come here, assimilateโor go home.

I'm not saying Americans don't have the right to criticize military ventures for purely political reasons, even if what they are saying is fabricated BS.
They absolutely do.
I'm just saying that those who do should spend 15 seconds thinking about who they are actually helping before they do it.
I am sick and tired of the bad-faith disunity and browbeating on the Right. We must debate conservative issues in good faith without labeling slight divergence as being the "enemy."
Then when our candidates are nominated, we must stand by them 100% as the alternative is LITERAL COMMUNISTS.
What we see today--and I'm not naming names because I do not want to get sucked into the insanity--is pretty much exactly like this Monty Python YouTube clip.
