There will be no private DMs. People want transparency and accountability so we’re going do this right here in public. You can start by apologizing to all impacted and then reimburse them all of their expenses with extra flight credit/money for the trouble caused.

Sometimes in life all you need is $50 million dollars.

Is it masculine to run from a storm? Is it masculine to allow a man to insult you, call your wife ugly, and call your father a criminal...and then kiss his ass?

Things the recovery industry will not tell you: 1. The drug worked. That is why people use it. Not weakness. Not moral failure. A neurological event so complete and persuasive that any honest account of addiction has to start there. The problem is not that the drug fails. The problem is that what it does is unrepeatable, and you will burn your entire life to the ground trying to get back to a place that no longer exists. 2. Shame is not guilt. Guilt says I did something bad. Shame says I am something bad. Guilt is appropriate. Shame is a cell with no windows. Most people use the words interchangeably. That mistake is lethal. 3. You cannot shame someone who has already named the thing you are holding over them. Say it first. Say it in plain light. The weapon drops. 4. Guilt can coexist with self-respect. Shame cannot. You can hold the damage and the dignity at the same time. I know because I live there. 5. Radical honesty does not give you back who you were. It hands you the clean slate of who you always wanted to be. The mask comes off. The cartoon other people drew of you stays on the page. 6. Nobody gets clean on a winning streak. 7. You have to be almost self-delusional in your forgiveness of yourself. (Go watch Chase Hughes) 8. The greatest sin was not the chaos. It was the absence. Being unavailable to the people who needed you. 9. Sustainable recovery starts with one thing: honesty with yourself. If you love an addict and want to help, that is the only door in. 10. I am only an expert on my recovery. Nobody is an expert on anyone else’s.

It’s an open secret throughout the Pentagon that survivability often depends on making as little noise as possible and avoiding drawing the attention of Hegseth and his office, multiple officials said. “Everything we did on a daily basis, we were calculating, ‘Is this going to keep the boss employed, or is this going to get him fired?’” a Pentagon official told CNN. “Every single day, every decision that we made, that was a planning factor. … It’s very unusual for that to be considered so heavily.” cnn.com/2026/06/09/politics/…

New: On April 1, Army Chief of Staff Gen. Randy George requested an in-person meeting with Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth — an effort to calm months of tension between Hegseth and senior Army leaders, three officials said. The meeting never came. The next day, he was fired in the middle of a meeting with Army staff. “The staff proceeded to, one by one, either go and give him a handshake or a hug,” a Pentagon official recalled. By the next morning, George’s office had been emptied. Inside Hegseth’s Pentagon, where distrust and suspicions of loyalty are rampant cnn.com/2026/06/09/politics/…

I know we've been having fun... but on a serious note... To be clear... I do come in peace... and want to be an active participant in the "make violence of action great again" movement Respectfully and humbly I'm just asking that @secwar @SecArmy release @infantrydort to participate in the challenge he has made to the world... To be clear... This LTC has called me a Marxist/leftist and a coward... despite serving my country honorably and being a registered principled conservative republican that lives in Sampson County NC... A guy whose family has fought in every single war this country has fought in.. It was the honor of my life to serve in the 82nd ABN Division... (i even got married in jump boots so my wife understood exactly what she was getting into) Regrettably... one of my biggest heartbreaks was being medically retired 2 years ago... And yes, while he has attacked dozens of people I respect... this isn't about that.. It's a matter of honor at this point.. I think we all can agree that accountability matters... and honestly, I think it would be great to show the world exactly how serious the DOW takes winning... how much it believes in violence of action.. how much believes in lethality and merit... Therefore, I respectfully request that you just give him what he's asking for.... let the man design his challenge and I volunteer as tribute lol... I understand that there will be those that say I'm not qualified to ask y'all to fulfill this request... if there's questions about my credentials to participate in such a challenge.... I would humbly direct you to this fine officer...

“If you think the world is selfish and rotten, go to the cemetery at Colleville-sur-Mer overlooking Omaha Beach. See what one group of men did for another on D-Day, June 6th, 1944.” — Andy Rooney

This is an image from @I_W_M of British Commandos on a landing craft approaching Sword Beach on D-Day, 6th June 1944. 82 years ago today. War is a horrific thing; these men left their loved ones to enter its hellish cauldron. Some never returned. We remember their immense bravery and sacrifices to defeat fascism so that they should never be necessary again.

History will not remember either of us. But I know that history will record that the most disgraceful man ever to hold the office of President of the United States stood in Arlington, looked around, and asked: "I don't get it. What was in it for them?"

Whoever said ‘out of sight, out of mind’ never had a spider disappear inside their tent.

🤨 What kind of a question is that‽ 🙄👋🏻

Too many American military men, serving and retired, who feign devotion to "honor", "merit" and other manly values, are, in fact, middle-school-mean-girl chickenshites who get their rocks off throwing unoriginal insults from behind pseudonyms. This says nothing about their targets and a lot about them.

Mistakes were made..🐕🐾😅
