I love to drive. It’s my happy place. Tunes cranked. Hours on end. That being said, Tesla Self Driving is incredible! Knock it or avoid it all you want.

What part of their sacrifice involved allowing non-citizens to vote in our elections? What part of their sacrifice involved leaving America vulnerable to emerging threats that our government refuses to confront? What part of their sacrifice involved supporting Senate leadership that too often prioritizes personal power over delivering real results for the American people? Your leadership in the Senate fails to honor their memory when it does not take stronger action on these critical issues. On this Memorial Day, we need more than words, we need courage and results. @LeaderJohnThune

Just so you don’t need to be corrected today, and with respect, don’t wish combat veterans Happy Memorial Day. It ain’t happy.

Night y’all 🙏🏻

Quick note regarding Memorial Day: Tomorrow is not the day to thank the veterans in your life for their service. As much as it’s appreciated—and I promise you, it very much is—that’s what Veterans Day is for, not Memorial Day. Memorial Day is for those we can now only thank from a distance, no longer in person. It’s for the men and women who never made it back home to have their hands shaken or their bar tab taken care of in gratitude. It’s for wives and husbands who have been handed trifold flags at funerals. For kids missing a parent at their graduation ceremony. For parents visiting a cemetery tomorrow instead of going to a barbecue. Most importantly, it’s for the fallen. It’s for those who paid the ultimate price for their brothers and sisters in arms, our flag, our freedom. By all means, thank a veteran any of the other 364 days of the year (we don’t expect it, though we always appreciate it). But please save tomorrow for the heroes no longer with us to hear our words of gratitude. May we never forget them. May our nation be forever grateful.

Number 3 in my series. Ink over pencil.

I’m not an MMA/Boxing/UFC fan. But, I am curious to see how this fight goes tonight between RR & GC. Mad props for both of them cutting the weight and coming back to the sport after an extended absence 10 & 17 years I believe) even though RR is the favorite, I’d love to see GC take it.

They Expect You to Be the Next Victim Just a reminder that October 7th was over two years ago, and not only did the press downplay the massive atrocities committed against women and children, but governments including our own purposely buried critical facts from the public. People were not told that Osama bin Laden’s own sons were involved in the planning for this massive coordinated attack, or that it was not just Hamas on the ground. Terrorists tied to Al-Qaeda, ISIS, and yes, even the Taliban of all things, were all there, too. The terrorists have evolved and we can’t even get the truth out to the public regarding this convergence. I like to ask people, why do you think so many of the attackers during October 7th were on hooked Captagon? Because they got hooked on it sitting around in Syria waiting for the attacks to kick off. A simple fact no one seems to understand. When you are lied to about the enemy, a large portion of the country is left mentally and physically unprepared. October 7th is not viewed by these terrorist groups as an isolated event. It was treated as a dress rehearsal for their upcoming attacks against the U.S. homeland. That is not speculation, it is what Al-Qaeda senior trainers told terrorists while they were cross-training in Afghanistan for both October 7th and the U.S. homeland plot. If your math is good you are realizing some of these terrorists have been on U.S. soil since 2023. They think about the attack they are going to carry out every single second of every day. They walk by you on the street and the supermarket and fantasy about the harm coming to you. Our government can stick its head in the sand all it wants and continue to make a mockery out of the counterterrorism fight, but refusing to educate yourself on the tactics used by the more than 8,000 terrorists involved in the October 7th attack does not just put you at a disadvantage, it puts the people you love at risk too. Do not look away, especially when that is exactly what the terrorists and the useful idiots aiding and abetting them want. They expect you to stay distracted, silent, fearful, and willing to become the next victim. Time to say: HELL NO!

REAL LEADERSHIP VS. BUREAUCRATIC MANAGEMENT: WHAT TRUMP JUST SHOWED IRAN (& THE WORLD). As a retired USAF Lt Col who carried the nuclear football for President Clinton in the White House, I've seen both up close. Sometimes painfully. Leadership isn't about managing decline or kicking the can. It's about vision, courage, and decisive action that restores deterrence and protects America. President Trump just proved the difference again with Operation Epic Fury. In weeks—not years—U.S. forces under his command destroyed Iran's navy (dozens of vessels gone), crippled their air force and air defenses, smashed missile/drone capabilities, and took out key leadership targets. The Strait of Hormuz is reopening. A fragile ceasefire is only holding because Iran knows the alternative is total dominance. This isn't endless war. This is “Peace Through Strength.”Adversaries respect strength; they exploit weakness. Here's the difference between Leadership and Management: - Leaders set the vision and inspire. They look over the horizon and say, This is where we're going—and why it matters for America. They take calculated risks, back their warriors, and accept accountability. Trump saw the Iranian threat—nuclear ambitions, proxies attacking our allies, “Death to America” chants—and acted. He didn't manage the status quo; he changed it. - Managers focus on process, consensus, and maintaining the system. They worry about optics, endless meetings, and “strategic patience” while our enemies build capabilities. We've lived that under past administrations: hesitation, reduced readiness, emboldened regimes, and American lives put at greater risk. Management keeps the lights on. Leadership turns the lights back on for freedom. Trump didn't ask permission from the UN or wait for the “international community.” He led. He gave clear objectives to the greatest military on earth, and they delivered overwhelming results. That's what real Commanders-in-Chief do. Our military isn't a social experiment or a jobs program—it's the tip of the spear for American exceptionalism. When led properly, there is no equal. The left will cry “warmonger.” History will call it strength. America First means never again apologizing for winning. What do you think, folks? Leadership or management—which does America need in 2026 and beyond?

It’s late! Work comes early! But when inspiration hits, ya just gotta go with it. A few hours later and I think this is a finished piece. I see a series coming out soon. Mostly rock artists, but after seeing “Michael”, I had to get this one out of my system!

Before anyone says anything, making my car purchase has ZERO to do with politics. Purely practical for my 30-45 min commute to work every day. I love my big V8 motors just as much as anyone else. But here’s my ride! And I LOVE it!!!!

You have never worn the uniform, taken the oath or served overseas. We follow orders. We are the reason you have your Freedom. When our Warfighters die overseas it is for us! You are “talking” about our brothers and sisters. When they chant and scream Death To America, they mean it.

Happy Saturday, X’ers!! Guilty pleasure of the early afternoon? Gotta get my fill of the Area52 podcast from @chrisramsay52 Bob Lazar follow-up interview! Guilty pleasure? UFO/UAP/CRYPTIDS Enjoy the weekend everyone!!!!

Broke the first joint at the tip of my middle finger (seriously, I did!!!), a little over a month ago. It’s my finger pickin’ hand!! This SUCKS!!! Now it’s healing with a slight downward bend! Come on universe, gimme a break here?

Hey @Walmart! I’m about tired of your stores treating polite, normal, rule following customers with disrespect and attitude! Self Checkouts is what you OBVIOUSLY prefer because you won’t staff your stores up to have the registers open. One register for a line of people down the aisles is not proper staffing. So, if I’m going to USE self checkout, and you’re going to provide me with a handheld scanner to go through my items, you don’t get to dictate to me what I can and can’t use the handheld scanner on. If you want to control my check out process, then how about you stop taking jobs away from people and staff up your registers!! Otherwise, don’t be calling me out in the middle of a crowded store because I used the handheld scanner which YOU provide. Half your flat scanners don’t work properly, even AFTER the recent store refresh, and, the debit card readers are STILL garbage!

Went and saw the movie “Michael” tonight. Talk about a walk down memory lane! The epic Billy Jean moment on MTV, Thriller, Beat It, Bad….truly from my high school years through early military career! I can remember where I was for each moment. Great film!

PSA: Big Donors. I will be requesting seed money/donations soon. Let’s get COV back up and running🇺🇸 Please share for exposure.

I am looking at restarting #codeofvets It will take some time but I feel the passion rising. We have a lot of work to do. We are taking care of our own. One veteran at a time. I needed some time to recalibrate, regroup, adapt and overcome.
