There’s been a lot of talk in this race about what makes a "real man."
A man does what’s right when no one is watching. He upholds his commitments to his family and neighbors. He doesn’t lie, cheat, & steal his way through life.
Real men serve others. Weak men serve themselves.

The Curt Cignetti College Football 27 cover looks like the poster for a 1994 Disney movie in which a recently divorced NFL head coach decides to coach an underachieving high school team of misfits as a way to reconnect with his son who's grown distant after his parents split up.
Cartoons used to have life and moral lessons, like He-Man qnd The Masters of the Universe.
Today's shows just teach kids to suck at everything and eat broccoli 🥦
I got a call from my daughter’s high school principal today. He said she’d been caught running an “unauthorized commercial enterprise” out of the girls’ locker room. My stomach dropped.
I left work immediately, already picturing the worst drugs, vapes, stolen goods, some shady TikTok hustle. By the time I pulled into the school parking lot, I was bracing for lawyers, suspension, or worse.
I walk into the principal’s office… and there’s my daughter sitting quietly with a spiral notebook full of spreadsheets. Not cash. Not customer lists. Just spreadsheets.
Turns out she’d noticed some girls at school quietly struggling no money for feminine hygiene products, no warm jackets, wearing the same clothes week after week after budget cuts hit families hard.
So she started her own underground operation. She collected donated jackets, hygiene products, gloves, and clothes from better off neighborhoods. Cataloged everything by size and need like a little logistics boss. Then quietly distributed them from her gym locker no drama, no embarrassment, no announcements.
The principal wasn’t calling to punish her. He called because the school found out… and they want my permission to turn her “illegal locker room business” into an official school charity program.
Thought I was heading into the biggest parenting nightmare of my life.
Instead, I left feeling prouder than I’ve ever been as a father.
That’s my girl.
Now agreed to and official: The #Browns are trading Defensive Player of the Year Myles Garrett to the #Rams for star edge Jared Verse, a 2027 1st-round, a 2028 2nd round, and a 2029 3rd, per me, @AdamSchefter and @TomPelissero.
The offseason's biggest trade is final and real.
🚨🚨🚨
Bombshell: The Browns are finalizing a trade that will send two-time Defensive Player of the Year Myles Garrett to the Los Angeles Rams, per @rapsheet, @TomPelissero and me.
In exchange for Garrett, the Rams are expected to send Pro-Bowl edge Jared Verse, a 2027 first-round pick and other draft-pick compensation still being negotiated to the Browns.
Ken Paxton is throwing everything he has at us.
He’s called me a radical leftist. He’s called me a fake Christian. He’s even called me a vegan!
I’m an 8th generation Texan — I've been eating BBQ since before Ken Paxton’s first indictment.
Reporter: Ken Paxton has taken to calling you ‘Talafreako’
@JamesTalarico: If Ken Paxton is worried about freaks, he should stop giving Epstein-style sweetheart deals to pedophiles. This is the guy who just released Adam Hoffman from jail, an admitted child rapist, after one of Ken Paxton’s wealthy lawyer friends got involved in the case.
Ken Paxton even kept him off the sex offender registry. Adam Hoffman was supposed to serve 25 years to life, but instead he served less than a month. As of this week, he’s now back on our streets because of Ken Paxton’s corruption.
Ken Paxton is the most corrupt politician in America, and it is costing Texans, it’s endangering our children, and it must end. The Epstein class has no place in Texas.
