@dpakman Says your TDS mind. It doesn’t have to be that way. I didn’t vote for Biden or Obama yet would never have thought it a travesty for them to hand out a trophy representing The Americas. You represent a very sad and pathetic mindset of our country.
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!
The greatest country on earth.
Allow me to make something absolutely clear to all of you. And yes, I am angry.
I am independent. I am not the mainstream media. That means I have more freedom in what I do. I am beholden to no one. The mainstream media is careful. They’re controlled. They stay safe. I do not.
I have the freedom to report every fact I find, even when it makes people angry. During the Anthony case, I was able to expose bad actors because I put in the work. That meant hours of investigating, collecting documentation, and gathering information. It was also how I was able to warn people that witnesses were being doxxed and that the family was being threatened.
Through all of this, I became friends with Jeff.
Jeff is a father grieving a murdered son. He was dragged through the mud and muzzled, unable to speak. I spent hours with him on the phone, sometimes late into the night. He would vent. Sometimes he would cry. But worst of all, none of his feelings could be publicly known.
He was swatted six times. Meghan was also swatted. People can argue over intent, but the reality is that sending armed police to someone’s home repeatedly creates a dangerous situation for that family. Austin was called “worm food.” People mocked a murdered child. Charleston White said, “He should have killed both of them.” This disgusting rhetoric went on for a year while Jeff was unable to speak publicly or defend his dead son.
That is why I told Jeff that when the gag order was lifted and the trial was over, I would give him an interview. Unlike the mainstream media, he would have the freedom to say whatever he wanted without interruption. He would not have had that freedom anywhere else.
I could not care less what people think about that decision.
I knew things would be clipped and taken out of context. They’ve been doing it since the beginning. That was never a surprise to me.
This interview was for Jeff.
It was not for them. It was not for you.
It was to allow Jeff to finally get every ounce of anger, sadness, grief, rage, and pain off his chest. I’m glad we did it.
If you are angry at me for it, then you do not understand grief.
If you are angry because you think I should have controlled the interview more, then you do not understand the pain he has lived with for the last year.
My goal was simple: give him the microphone, step back, and let him talk.
Most people seem to understand that. Some do not.
Many are angry that I gave Jeff the freedom and platform to express thoughts he has been forced to keep buried for an entire year.
As for the clips being shared out of context, I want everyone to hear the full context.
Yes, Jeff called Karmelo a “watermelon felon.”
No, he did not say it because he is racist.
He said it while sarcastically mocking the people who constantly clip words out of context and chase viral moments. They have spent a year calling him racist. His point was that if they wanted something to clip and spread around the internet, he’d give them exactly what they were looking for.
That is the context.
And I don’t blame him.
If you’re angry that I gave him a platform to say what he wanted, I truly do not care. I don’t even know how to explain how much I do not care.
I love the Metcalf family. I love Jeff. And this is what he wanted.
For once, Jeff got to do what HE wanted to do.
He is the father of a dead son who spent a year being told to stay quiet while people lied about him, mocked his family, and celebrated his pain.
I warned all of you how evil some of these people are. I’ve known it for the past year. The Metcalf family has lived it, and so have I.
These people do not just threaten to kill you. They threaten to destroy you. They threaten your family. They are not above threatening children.
We already knew this.
Now many of you are finally seeing it for yourselves.
And if a few words from a grieving father are enough to outrage you, then you might want to grow a thicker skin.
@krassenstein Take a minute and read what the interviewer Sarah Fields @SarahisCensored said about this comment. This comment was sarcasm to give the haters something to clip because they will do it anyway.
@FoxNews I do not. If neither of the parents are legal citizens then the child should be considered a citizen of the country their parents still hold citizenship through. If they were on vacation, and had a child, the child would not be a citizen of the country they were visiting.
@CSURamT@vjon91@AstroZen34 Working for tax accountant here. Did you mark on your W-4 that there are multiple jobs? If you don’t, the payroll system assumes you are the sole provider and won’t take out as much. Both of you need to be sure your W-4 shows multiple jobs.
@4thOfJuly365 Hell to the no!!! Hubby served from 1984 - 1996 and periodically (maybe once or twice a year) they had surf and turf in the mess hall. Just because they are serving doesn’t mean they don’t deserve special meals now and then!
