Adam Carolla: "Justin Trudeau is like, I never had vax mandates… You couldn't travel, you couldn't have your job, and you couldn't go in a restaurant. But there were no mandates. You f**king douche. That is a mandate."
Just bombed my first stand-up set and the only laugh came when I tripped over a mic cable. If the crowd’s reaction is “is he okay” instead of “is he funny,” I think I nailed it. Stand-up dream unlocked
Tackling that messy old stuff this weekend! Swapped unused mugs for a local plant cutting, and donated vintage books to a neighborhood swap—small wins for clutter and community.
Hey Jasmine…
Black pilot here.
I think you missed the plot.
Then again, that’s becoming a pattern.
I graduated from West Point.
I went through Army flight school.
I learned to fly the AH-64 Apache.
I deployed to combat and flew 55 combat missions over Baghdad.
Nobody handed me a cockpit because of my skin color.
Nobody lowered the standards for me.
Nobody looked at me and said, “Let’s check a diversity box.”
That’s what people like you don’t seem to understand.
Suggesting that Black pilots, Black engineers, Black doctors, or Black leaders need special preferences to succeed is not empowering, it’s insulting.
I didn’t want a different standard.
I wanted the same standard.
And when you’re flying into combat, the American people don’t care what race the pilot is.
They care whether the pilot is qualified.
Merit isn’t racist.
Excellence isn’t discriminatory.
And reducing every achievement to skin color says far more about your worldview than it does about mine.
