Every year is always the same… Christmas is on the 25th and Beach football runs the ball too much. Merry Christmas

Ardent supporters of any salad bar, anytime you give me an “all you can eat” option I’m going to take it. #fatguy #farmkid

In America, a warehouse store. A fully roasted chicken costs five dollars, the raw chicken beside it costs seven, and I stood between them like a man between two truths. Golden. Hot. Seasoned. Spinning in glory under the lights, in a line of its brothers. Four dollars and ninety-nine cents. I checked the raw birds. Seven dollars. Pale. Cold. You must do everything yourself. This is not commerce. Commerce does not move backward. Somewhere in this building, mathematics lies defeated. I asked the man at the counter. "How is the cooked bird cheaper than the raw bird?" "Been five bucks forever. They keep it that way." "But the store loses." "Yep. On purpose." On purpose. I held my receipt with both hands. In my land, a lord who lowered the price of rice in a hard winter was remembered for generations. They built him a small shrine. This store does it every day, with chicken, and tells no one. A woman behind me grew tired of my reverence. "It's just a chicken, sir." It is not just a chicken. It is a wound the merchant takes on purpose, so that anyone, on any day, with five dollars, eats like a lord. The bird is the message. The price is the vow. I will confess: I bought two. I did not need two. The second was not hunger. It was gratitude, and it was delicious. Some prices are not prices. They are promises. I return every week now. I take one bird. I bow toward the deli, briefly, so as not to alarm the staff. They have begun nodding back. The vow holds. The bird turns. Five dollars. Long may it spin.

The intellect and wisdom of a Japanese @ZierMike, that is why I love this account. Would you not agree @OdermannNation_ ?

Very cool. Point for college baseball.

Every training camp I had at Washington State University, Coach Leach would share the same story. The story of two kids. The rich kid and the poor kid. The rich kid has two choices. He can become spoiled, entitled, lazy, and expect everything to be handed to him because he has been given more. Or he can take every advantage of what he has been given—resources, coaching, opportunities—and use it to become even better. The poor kid has two choices too. He can say, “I never had a chance. Nobody gave me anything. The world is against me.” He can feel sorry for himself and use it as an excuse. Or he can say, “I may not have what they have, but I am going to outwork everybody.” He can become tougher, more driven, and more relentless than everybody else. It was a powerful message in a locker room full of people from different backgrounds, different families, and different life experiences. Some guys came from wealth. Some came from almost nothing. Some had every opportunity. Others had to fight for every inch. But despite all of those differences, everybody still had the same choice. You can take ownership and use what you have as fuel. Or you can become victim-minded. You can look for excuses, blame your circumstances, become entitled, and convince yourself that because of what you have—or because of what you do not have—you cannot become what you want to be. It is not about how you start. It is about what you choose to do with how you start. The rich kid can waste what he has been given or use it to build something greater. The poor kid can use his circumstances as an excuse or as fuel. In the end, greatness does not come from starting with more or less. It comes from which person inside of you that you choose to feed.

Asked to explain discrepancies between public activities and filed disclosure reports, the leader of Citizens Alliance of North Dakota directed me to a phone number for a fictional character. inforum.com/opinion/columns/…

My take on the 2026 NDGOP Convention. No one will take someone seriously that continues to do unserious things.

NDGOP Convention: Vote to rescind the vote from yesterday that removes the brand from candidates not attending. 297 yay 311 na Motion fails.

NDGOP Convention: A lot of animated discussion on and off floor during this vote. Chairs lining up to report district totals.

NDGOP Convention: Discussion occurring to reconsider removing the brand. Seems as if there is regret from leadership in decision made yesterday. Charles Tuttle claiming John Hoeven stole endorsement in 2022. Jared Hendrix hinted at initiated measure regarding this issue.

NDGOP Convention: On removing the republican brand from candidates who did not attend "the R is embarrassing right now with people like Kelly Armstrong representing it, let's be bold" - Josiah Rice delegate and candidate for Minot Mayor

We ❤️ the Glasers!

Thank you, #NorthDakota, for the privilege of being able to walk out of your Capitol after a long and productive week as you are 30th Attorney General. #AG30 #WhyWeServe

NDGOP Convention: Letter of Recommendation for Chris Olson fails.

NDGOP Convention: Jason Pierce District 15 Chair “we are setting a dangerous precedent if we give this letter to a candidate that doesn’t even have the signatures yet” Well said by Mr. Pierce!

NDGOP Convention: Passed Convention Rules less than an hour ago. Convention is currently attempting to flush rules down the toilet on first non contested race.

NDGOP Convention Discussion on letter of support occurring now. Allowing Chris Olson potential candidate to speak now. Olson admits he still does not have the signatures to be on the ballot.
