@RodDMartin Thank you for posting this.
I will follow you both.
It’s has inspired me to read the declaration of independence in detail.
The heart of a society must be civil, but not tolerate of violence,
But of debate that keeps all us sharp and NOT complacent.
Cheers to you both again!

THE INSPIRATION OF AMERICA

Next to the entrance of The Red House, the Parliament of Trinidad and Tobago in the capital of Port of Spain, there is this marble inscription. It is clear that it is inspired by our 1776 Declaration of Independence and America’s founding principles. Trinidad’s population is 99% either Indian (from India), African, or a mix of the two. 64% are Christian, 21% Hindu, 6% Moslem, others undeclared – and all have these principles as a common bond between them.

Here in the Caribbean’s Trinidad is such a clear example of how America’s founding moral principles are such an inspiration to all humanity, of all cultures, creeds, and ethnicities. They are universal, America’s heritage as a gift to the world. This is the heritage of all Americans – something we need to cherish is we celebrate the 250th
anniversary of our nation’s birth. (photo ©Jack Wheeler)

Sometimes the greatest miracles happen when you keep your eyes on Jesus instead of the storm.

Faith doesn’t make the waves disappear, it gives you the courage to walk through them.

Last week, Anthony Fauci notified us he will NOT voluntarily testify before the Senate Homeland Security and Governmental Affairs Committee, even though he had previously agreed to do so.

Therefore, today I have issued a subpoena requiring him to testify before the Committee, in public, next month.

@RealJamesWoods Are you saying he was crying because he had a weasel in his ass?

[Ronald Rickert @rumrickert]

@TiffMoodNukes Good to see you back at it.
Miss your old humor thou.
I know your trying to better but
Your catchy sentences made me laugh many times.

@CynicalPublius 99.9 % accurate

[Cynical Publius @CynicalPublius]

As we contemplate the Iranian delegation storming out of the negotiations in Switzerland like a bunch of humiliated high school mean girls, consider the possibility that Trump signed the MOU for two reasons:

1. To show the whole world that the Iranian mullahs are incapable of operating in good faith.

2. To show the world he has no choice but to once again bomb the crap out of them.

This is just common sense. You should never be at the mercy of the mob.

@jayplemons @billysandytodd Society fails when the takers out weigh the makers.
Complececy is the cavity of progress.

[jay plemons @jayplemons]

The great lie is that society is divided between rich and poor.
The great truth, as David Friedberg puts it, is makers vs takers.

Makers build, create, and deliver real value: houses, software, art, businesses, and everything that moves civilization forward.

Takers watch, criticize, analyze, and politic. They push the lie that the rich hoard unfairly so the poor must seize it… all while positioning themselves to rule the chaos.

As @friedberg tells his kids: “At the end of the day, if you made something and someone else valued it, you were a maker. That was an amazing achievement. That is a great day.”

Takers thrive on division. Makers drive progress.

Time to choose your side.

I’m in love with this sentence:

“The more delusionally optimistic you are, the more life rewards you.”

“Greatness does not come out of intelligence, it comes from character.

Character is not formed out of smart people: it is formed out of people who have suffered.”

“Then I heard the voice of the Lord saying, ‘Whom shall I send? And who will go for us?’ And I said, “Here am I. Send me!”
~ Isaiah 6:8

Tonight, let’s remember the brave men and women who answered that same call. I wore this scripture on a chain around my neck for 20 years.

They heard the voice of duty — of God and country — and said, “Send me.” They left homes, families, and futures behind to defend liberty on distant battlefields.

Some never returned. Their sacrifice was total. Their “Here am I” became eternal.

Today we honor their courage, their faith, and the freedom they secured for us. We owe them a debt we can never fully repay — only remember and live worthy of.

To every Gold Star family, every veteran who carried the weight: Thank you.

May we never forget those who said “Send me”… and meant it with their lives.🙏✝️

Goodnight, ya’ll.

Elizabeth Warren owns a ($4M) dollar mansion in Cambridge and reports are, her net worth ranges from ($12M - $67M) on a Govt salary of ($174K)

This isn't mathematically possible, it's time for an audit on every member of Congress

No one's above the law, including Democrats

I know how Elon Musk became a trillionaire, but I don't know how Bernie Sanders, Elizabeth Warren, and Nancy Pelosi became millionaires.

⁣
As one of the few senior officers still active on X, I’ve been attacked, downgraded, and hit with whisper campaigns meant to soften what I’ve seen and said from the front seat of command.⁣
⁣
I do it because I care. Deeply. Because I’m committed to authenticity and relentless about truth. Not for clicks or applause, but for one purpose: to build the lethality and warfighting edge our Army will need if the balloon goes up. And more importantly, to strengthen deterrence—so we never have to fight. ⁣
⁣
Peace comes through real, credible strength. Not dog-and-pony shows.⁣
⁣
I’ve been “informed” my authenticity upsets people. Damn right it does. That’s the job. Our profession demands abrasiveness when softness gets Soldiers killed.⁣

I’ve written the professional articles, recorded the podcasts, spoken at the symposiums. Observations from 55 NTC rotations, Blackhorse command, and hard lessons from the modern battlefield. They get filed away like every other rotational AAR—only for us to repeat the same mistakes and ignore the same gaps.⁣

⁣
That’s why I stay in the fight here.⁣
Our Army deserves leaders who prioritize winning over comfort. I’m all in on that mission.⁣
