The World Cup has turned America into a discovery channel for the rest of the world.

And they are not handling it well.
In the best possible way.

Here is what they are discovering:

Free public restrooms. Europeans pay every time.
Free water at every restaurant. Just appears.
Free refills. Coffee. Sodas. Iced tea. Unlimited.
Free chips and salsa before you even order.
Free warm bread with dinner.
Ice in drinks like civilized people.
Air conditioning everywhere. Not a moral debate. A fact.
Parking lots attached to the actual place you are going.
Drive throughs where the food comes to the car while you sit in it.
Ranch dressing by the gallon.
Tex-Mex that cannot be explained only experienced.
Dental care that actually works.
Buccee’s. There are no words for Buccee’s.

Then they found the grocery stores.

Five of them within one mile.
Each one the size of an aircraft hangar.
Burgers. Steaks. Brisket. Ribs. Pulled pork. Lamb. Veal. Every cut of every animal ever domesticated by human civilization available in one refrigerated aisle at ten in the morning on a Tuesday.

The Germans stood in the meat section for forty five minutes.
In silence.
Processing.

They finally understand why we do not have trains.

We have roads wide enough for the cars we actually drive.
Parking lots the size of small European countries.
Airports in every city worth visiting.

Why would we need trains.

The Germans are taking ranch home by the bottle.
The Dutch found queso and briefly lost the ability to speak.
The Japanese are photographing HEB like it is the Louvre.
The Czechs are weeping in West, Texas.

Welcome to America.
Everything is free, enormous, air conditioned, comes with chips, and has five grocery stores within a mile that will sell you any cut of any animal you have ever imagined.

Write that down. 🦋

VILE: disgusting new TikTok trend called the “Austin Bop” has exploded among young black Karmelo Anthony supporters. They gleefully dance, with and without knives, while making repeated thrusting and stabbing motions toward the chest in a brazen mockery of a teenage boy’s brutal murder, often adding laughing emojis to their videos.

This isn’t edgy content. This is straight-up demonic celebration of violence.
Thug culture remains one of the most toxic, self-destructive forces rotting the black community from within. It glorifies murder, mocks victims, and turns human tragedy into dance challenges.

@Cardinals Can I go back to staying in my own lane and not giving a crap what other people do yet?

Tonight's national anthem singer for San Antonio vs. New York Knicks started off strong, but as the song progressed, he started throwing more and more unnecessary vocal curlicues and whatnots in there. Come on, mayne! Just sing the song, people.

This is where we are in 2026.

I purchased a utility knife today that is packaged so well it requires a utility knife to get it out. It's like the chicken-or-egg question, but with knives.

There is something deeply broken about a society that watches a teenage boy lose his life after being stabbed in the heart at a school track meet… and then turns the accused killer into a celebrity.

Today I witnessed hours of livestreams dedicated to fundraising for the Karmelo Anthony family. Panels praising Karmelo Anthony. Calling him a “hero.” Saying HE is the victim. Saying HE deserves justice. Saying HE “did nothing wrong.”

Meanwhile Austin Metcalf is no longer with us.

Austin doesn’t get to go home. Austin doesn’t get to graduate. Austin doesn’t get to hug his family again. His parents are still grieving a child they will never get back while strangers online celebrate the person accused of taking his life.

And in the last 24 hours alone, the fundraising connected to Karmelo grew past $600,000.

Hundreds of thousands of dollars flowing in while people openly glorified a man who stabbed Austin in the heart, and mocked the suffering of a dead child’s family.

This case has become so toxic that people have been threatened, doxxed, swatted, and harassed simply for defending Austin or demanding accountability (Myself included). There are people sitting in jail right now because of threats tied to this madness.

Yet, Dominique Alexander went live yesterday, calling for justice for Karmelo.

And these livestream panels continue day and night, pushing the narrative that the real tragedy is what happened to Karmelo.

No.

The tragedy is that a teenager was killed.

The tragedy is that we now live in a culture where personal responsibility is treated like oppression, accountability is treated like injustice, and a grieving family has to watch people turn the accused into a martyr while their son is buried beneath the ground.

Austin Metcalf was the victim.

And no amount of livestreams, donations, spin, propaganda, or emotional manipulation will change that.

During this live stream, I recorded several clips. Only listen if you can stomach it. But according to the panel and Tiffney Billions, who was a participant (the family’s advocate), the Anthony family was listening to them. As they went up one by one, and praised Karmelo for his actions.

Billions also stated that during the time of the trial, herself and a group should walk the neighborhood of Frisco, knocking on doors with their “documentation”. And registering black people to vote so that they could have more of “their people” on juries for cases such as this.

Just a reminder that in the state of Texas, only an official county-appointed Volunteer Deputy Registrar (VDR) is authorized to officially collect and submit completed voter registration applications on behalf of others in many organized registration efforts.

A person also cannot engage in fraud, coercion, intimidation, or misrepresent eligibility rules.

"[T]he takeovers have almost always spiraled into chaos, with reports of fights, robberies, gunshots and general disruption."

Fixed.

[CNN @CNN]

The incidents are just a few examples of what's become known as "teen takeovers," the term for a mass gathering of rowdy youngsters in a public space like a mall or park. Spread by social media flyers or mass messages beforehand, the takeovers have on occasion spiraled into chaos, with reports of fights, robberies, gunshots and general disruption. https://t.co/bLo9XU1WMC

When I was a Delta pilot, I used to layover in Minneapolis a lot. I visited the Mall of America a few years ago. I’d heard about it and had lots of time to kill. The copilot told me not to waste my time but I was super bored.

I immediately regretted it. I felt like I was back in Mogadishu in 1993. Black Hawk Down vibes. It’s a third world hell hole. Couldn’t wait to leave. It’s not the United States, it’s Somalia.

We don’t want it and we don’t want @Ilhan.
