@DerekMarich @NFL The same thing happens to me with the Bruins. We are watching cowboys on fubo, though. Free trial, maybe?

��🚨URGENT: Maine Democratic Party caught brazenly lying to voters regarding Question 1.

In a secretly recorded audio, an operative representing the Maine Democratic Party boldly tells a Mainer that Question 1 would end ALL absentee voting in Maine.

She also claimed the question would prevent Native Americans from voting.

"It all goes away. There will be no absentee ballot, no mail-in ballot... You'd have to go that day between eight in the morning and eight at night."

This call is so outrageous, it defies even our low expectations for Maine's election integrity.

44 years ago today, President Reagan returned to work less than two weeks after being shot in the chest.

Later that week, he flew atop a bald eagle to Russia, knocked out Ivan Drago, then punched a hole in the Berlin Wall before returning home and going on tour with Van Halen.

Bank Of America called the Police on a 93 yr old man, who wanted to make a money withdrawal with an expired identification. Bank refused! Officer Robert Josett took the man to the DMV, helped him get his identification renewed, then took him back to the bank to get his money. 👍

Real ID isn’t needed and won’t stop terrorists from hijacking planes.

Most of the 9/11 hijackers held Saudi, UAE, Egyptian, or Lebanese passports.

Real ID is a national standard and database of IDs that is primarily a tool for control of Americans.

Trump shouldn’t enforce it.

🚨#BREAKING: Marco Rozenbroek, a Swannanoa NC resident, has confirmed he planted over 8,000 tulips, daffodils, hyacinth and other flowers across destroyed public parks in Western North Carolina.

This week, for the first time, they began to all fully bloom.

HERO!!!

The primary objective of this post is to persuade you to like and follow my YouTube Channel. Currently, I have 999,000 subscribers, and I’d like to get to a million before I launch the first episode of People You Should Know.

As you may have heard, people have begging me for several years to reboot Returning the Favor, ever since Facebook canceled it after a hundred episodes, (and right after it won an Emmy!) Unfortunately, that title belongs to Facebook, but the business of celebrating regular people with bottom-up solutions does not. Hence, a new show on YouTube called People You Should Know, which I think everyone on this page will love. Assuming of course, you're not opposed to watching it on YouTube.

To make the process of liking and subscribing to my YouTube Channel as easy as possible, I’m including a link to a short video that shows me making Austin Boedeker’s mother cry. https://t.co/BgoHNvHY1c

Who is Austin Boedeker, you ask? I’ll tell you.

Austin Boedeker is the son of a farmer in Ohio who applied for a work ethic scholarship from my foundation a year ago. His application was perfect. His references were great, his answers to my many questions were stellar, and his video was spot on. He also agreed with every single tenet in my SWEAT Pledge and signed it with great enthusiasm. So, I gave Austin some money to pursue a career in modern agriculture and wished him well.

A few months ago, I caught up with Austin while filming in Ohio, not far from where he lives. I asked him to stop by the set to say hello and give us a progress report. I thought it might be helpful for people to see exactly what kind of qualities we're attempting to reward with our scholarship program. Austin brought his family with him, so I took the opportunity to grill him in front of his father, on camera. Then, I made his mother cry by doing something I had not intended to do when I showed up for work that day.

The secondary objective of this post is to persuade you to share it with every mother you know. (Or better yet, with everyone you know who ever had a mother.) Doing so may or may not lead to more weeping, but it will definitely encourage more people like Austin to apply for one of our work ethic scholarships. We’re currently in the midst of our annual enrollment period, and I’m trying to give away $2.5 million to people like Austin. Sharing this post will help.

And don’t forget to check out the first episode of People You Should Know, after I get a million subscribers on YouTube. Which I'm hoping won't take too long...

And finally, have a nice day.

Army vs Navy kicks off later.

Watch the legendary CBS game promo video from a couple years ago — it’s the best sports introduction I’ve ever seen:

“It’s the only game that everyone’s playing in it that are willing to die for everyone who’s watching.”

RIP JD Souther. ‘New Kid In Town’ was a song he co-wrote for the Eagles in 1975. In 2019, he sang this beautiful acoustic version at a show in Long Island, NY. Just mesmorizing.

Day 56 of our Shanghai Covid lockdown

When it’s nice out at night, I unwind on our balcony in a rocking chair my aunt gave me when our oldest was born

It’s a full moon tonight and so quiet that you can hear the footsteps and swishing of the hazmat suits 10+ stories below

Day 47 of our Shanghai Covid lockdown and we woke up, like we often do, to a man in a hazmat suit downstairs yelling through a bull horn for us to come down for our tests

While checking our phones for the new test QR code, we also saw this alarming new official notice sent to us
