A wise man once said, if you want to hate America, watch the news. If you want to love America, drive across it. These European World Cup tourists are experiencing the REAL America for the first time: not New York City or LA, but middle America and all its hospitality. 🇺🇸

"And so sometimes like God speaks to me, I think primarily God speaks through me through action. And I think he speaks through everyone through action. You know, we like to talk a lot, but not a lot of people like to live it out. And I make mistakes, but I want to try to live it out to the best of my ability. I think secondly, through the way of communication, I've always had a heart to make complex ideas simpler to understand because I'm not a smart guy. I have a hard time reading Shakespeare and complex literature, so I like doing that. But sometimes I'll be sitting and talking with someone, and I feel like God tells me something about the person. They're struggling with something or if they've got a physical ailment and I'll ask. And sometimes it's true. Sometimes it's not. I'm not not discouraged if it's right or wrong, but if it's right, sometimes God speaks through that way. Those are a few ways God speaks through me, but, but the intrusive thing is so beautiful because I think he can speak to everyone intrusively and it is so sweet when it happens. And it was, it was happening this morning to me in the shower, which is so sweet and beautiful, you know. I struggle a lot with what people think about me because I've always struggled with people pleasing before being a Christian. And so, you know, if I'm misunderstood or someone takes something in the way that I didn't say it, I get hurt because I'm like, oh, I didn't mean it that way. Or, you know, whatever. So I'm kind of talking to Jesus and I'm in the shower praying and I'm going, man, God, I want to be more like you. I want to be how you want me to be. I want to love you. And I want to be your son. And I just want to focus on being yours. And I don't want to care what other people think. And this, this and that. And Jesus was speaking to me about some practical things I needed to do. Like it would help you if you, you know, stopped looking at what people say online. It would help if you deleted Instagram. And it would help if you did this. And, it would help if you would just trust other people to do what they're supposed to do. So you can focus on being mine. And I'm sitting there in the shower going like, wow, this is so good. And it's so hard, but it's so good." @ibrycecrawford, Minister

Year of the patriot

If you wanna lose all support from America's Warrior Caste, this character assassination is a sure fire way to do it.

Mark Cuban is out here telling new grads to go sell AI agents to SMBs. and he's not wrong. businesses are bleeding money on problems AI solves in a tenth of the time and a fraction of the cost. the opportunity is sitting right there and it’s your job to take it.

for anyone in oil and gas, build the distribution to mom and pop operators. speed of concept to implementation of basic task management -> operator specific apps utilizing existing company tools and workflows will only increase. the moat is distribution. not scraped P5 lists. real network. @palousetuna @VDoorKey1 @blackgldrush

If you don’t listen to Ms. Catherine Austin Fitts, you need to start paying attention. Her @solari_the report is worth reading all the time.

Did you know C.S. Lewis predicted the modern obsession with “being nice” would destroy the soul? In The Abolition of Man, Lewis argues that when a society stops believing in objective virtue, it doesn’t become tolerant… it becomes manipulable. He calls the result “men without chests.” People with appetites and intellects, but no courage, no honor, no trained moral instincts. They can calculate everything and defend nothing. Lewis saw that once we reject inherited moral law, we don’t become free. We become raw material… easily shaped by propaganda, pleasure, and fear. Modern man prides himself on compassion while quietly surrendering every standard that once gave compassion meaning. Lewis’s insight is brutal: a civilization that educates clever cowards will eventually be ruled by tyrants or technicians. Because when nothing is worth dying for, everything becomes negotiable… including human dignity.

This is how a man from Texas addresses the media postgame … No scarf, handbag, fur coat or painted nails. A George Strait t-shirt, some broken in jeans and a pair of badass boots. Amen … and Hook ‘em. 🤘🏼🏈😤

This is the most badass post I've ever read and I wanted to share it incase someone needs it. You have to be a warrior to stare death in the eyes and find gratitude and hope.

Any of you old heads using MCP with AI for day-to-day work? @palousetuna @blackgldrush @VDoorKey1 @FracSlap

“For the first time I examined myself with a seriously practical purpose. And there I found what appalled me; a zoo of lusts, a bedlam of ambitions, a nursery of fears, a harem of fondled hatreds. My name was legion.” C.S. Lewis, “Surprised by Joy”
