I voted for Donald Trump because, at the time, he felt like the lesser of two options I didn’t trust. I didn’t want to see Joe Biden or Kamala Harris continue what I believed was a system full of corruption, mismanagement, and constant tension. Trump’s message was simple: No new wars. End existing conflicts. Put America first. That was the foundation of my support. But looking at things now, I’m struggling to square those promises with what’s actually happening. We’re seeing conflicts intensify instead of cool down. Billions continue to flow overseas in aid and military support to places like Ukraine and Israel. And at home? People are still dealing with rising grocery bills. Veterans are still without stable housing. Families are still buried in debt and uncertainty. So I keep asking the same question: Where does America First fit into all of this? I didn’t vote for deeper global involvement. I voted for stability at home. I voted for relief, not expansion. And honestly, that’s where my frustration comes from. Not anger for the sake of it—but disappointment in what’s changed, and the gap between what was promised and what feels real on the ground today. I’m not sure how many others feel the same, but it’s getting harder to ignore that gap.

Reading Fiction is just adult pretend time. If you’re over 25 and still reading novels instead of white papers, case studies, or technical manuals, you aren’t Learning, you’re just escaping reality. Knowledge is a tool, not a hobby

Protestant churches ask new converts to say the "Sinner’s Prayer" - one of the most popular altar practices today. Show me one place in Scripture where the Apostles told people: "Close your eyes, repeat after me, and you're saved." You won’t find it. Instead, you'll find: Repentance, baptism and a radical turning of life. In Acts, nobody was handed a scripted prayer of salvation. They were commanded to repent and be baptized (Acts 2:38). But somehow, modern Christianity replaced that with a 30-second formula and called it salvation. Sola Scriptura question: Why hold tightly to a salvation method that isn't in the Bible at all?

Sitting in Houston's George Bush air port, my flight is delayed...my partner's flight is delayed, they say it is because his plane "left late"...no reason on my flight...we aren't going to the same destination, we are on two separate flights. The idea that both flights "left late", I find ...improbable...what's actually going on? #AmericanAirlines

We just completed a study comparing one experienced program manager equipped with AI agents against a traditional team coding two websites (tradyr.ai) and (codexlumen.ai) against a traditional team. We wanted to see what all of the noise was about. The results are staggering in their implications. DM me for a copy of the Analysis Report.

I was one of the four people who started the Chuck Norris (and also Mr. T and Vin Diesel) memes of about 10 years ago. The site is long gone but the memes live on. We didn't start the memes as a way to make fun of Chuck Norris, we did it out of profound respect. @chucknorris RIP. Hero of my childhood - Good Guys Wear Black, the Octagon are why I spent twenty years in the martial arts.

I almost never do this, but Christi and Coral are friends...and what good is social media if you can't do some good with it? Richard Featherer was a truly kind soul who touched many lives. His family is now facing the challenge of honoring his memory without the means for a proper farewell. Please consider donating or sharing to help ease their burden during this tough time.

If the Codex Sinaiticus is the oldest complete Bible and dates to about 250 AD. How old is the oldest torah scroll and where is it?

There's something that fires me up about taking care of my wife. Last night proved it. I walked in from work to absolute chaos: One kid just threw up. Another was whining and crying. Two more were fighting over a toy. And my wife was standing in the middle of it all, completely fried. She looked at me with exhausted eyes that said: "I can't do this anymore." You know what happened to my energy? It didn't drop. It multiplied. "Go upstairs. Take a break. I've got this." She didn't argue. She just left. I cleaned up the puke. Broke up the fight. Calmed the crying one. Got everyone settled. And I felt ALIVE doing it. Here's what most guys don't understand about marriage: Your wife doesn't need you only when things are smooth. She needs you MOST when she's at her breaking point. When the kids are losing it. When dinner burned. When she's had zero breaks all day. When she's one more tantrum away from losing it herself. THAT'S when you step up. Not with resentment. Not keeping score. But with energy. Purpose. Leadership. "I've got you. Go rest." That's what it means to be a husband. Not 50/50. Not splitting duties down the middle. It's 100/100. Both of you giving everything, especially when the other has nothing left. When she's running on empty, I fill the tank. When I'm running on empty, she fills mine. That's the partnership. Most guys see chaos at home and think: "Great, more problems after a long day." I see my wife exhausted and think: "Time to lead." That shift in perspective changes everything. Your wife married a man who would protect her, provide for her, and PARTNER with her. Don't just be a roommate managing a household. Be the man who shows up when it's hard. That's what she needs. That's what your kids need to see. Show up.

This needs the widest possible attention. x.com/i/status/2001997187576…

Crash Course in Molecular Biology… for my fellow Christians. 🚨Everyone else can keep scrolling…🚨 Before we talk faith, let’s talk science… raw, objective molecular biology. Every living cell depends on nine mandatory stages of DNA replication, each performed by precision-built molecular machines. These stages are not optional… not gradual… not the kind of thing random chemistry “figures out.” They are required all at once. 1… Origin recognition… 2… Helicase unwinding… 3… Single-strand stabilization… 4… Primase placement… 5… Polymerase extension with error-checking… 6… Sliding clamp loading… 7… Leading/lagging strand coordination… 8… Ligase sealing… 9… Topoisomerase tension relief… Remove one… the system collapses. Life ends. This is not evolution building complexity slowly. This is an integrated, interdependent replication engine that must be fully operational from the first moment a cell exists. And here is the scientific dagger that no atheist biologist can escape… You cannot have DNA replication without proteins. You cannot have proteins without translation. You cannot have translation without the ribosome. You cannot have the ribosome without dozens of proteins that only exist after translation. The machinery requires the machinery to build the machinery. Abiogenesis cannot solve that circularity. Random chemistry cannot either. Given Earth’s timeline, the probability of a functional self-replicating cell emerging by accident is mathematically zero. I said ZERO! So no… life did not “just happen.” The informational complexity of even a single cell is beyond anything the universe can produce without intention. You hear that? When the Word says The Almighty spoke life into existence… the molecular data agrees. This is why believers have nothing to apologize for. Science isn’t the enemy of faith… it is the revelation, the fingerprint of God written at nanoscopic scale. #AStoneGroove

Why is such a false history of slavery taught in American schools?

This is the right attitude 🫡

December 6th, 1998 "Democratic" Socialist Hugo Chavez wins the Presidency in Venezuela. "They've called me a new Mussolini or Fidel Castro. But the people know... who I really am" Chavez said. That was the last free and fair election of Venezuela. 27 years later: 8 million refugees 80% smaller economy 1000s of political prisoners Hundreds of thousands dead from crime and shortages

🚨 WHAT A LEADING U.S. LAW PROFESSOR JUST REVEALED 🚨 A major warning was issued this week—not by activists, not by commentators, but by one of America’s leading constitutional law professors. He was just in Berlin, and what he described is chilling. He said only TWO people at the World Forum were defending free speech… and the rest of the room was demanding coordinated censorship—not just across Europe, but against Americans. And here is what he testified: European regulators want U.S. speech controlled by EU law Platforms are being threatened with ruinous fines International bodies now expect enforcement against U.S. citizens Silence is being globalised through regulation, not debate He also stated that Hillary Clinton personally intensified this push—calling on the EU to weaponise the Digital Services Act when Elon Musk acquired Twitter. Think about that: A former U.S. presidential candidate urging a FOREIGN authority to pressure an American company into censoring U.S. citizens. According to this professor, what is happening is not organic—it is strategic. He said the Berlin gathering was “the most anti-free-speech event” he had ever attended. He warned that: “This is how censorship becomes internationalised.” Not through law in Washington. Not through court rulings. But through transnational regulatory power overriding domestic rights. As he put it: “Free speech isn’t falling—it’s being dismantled.” This is not speculation. This is testimony—firsthand—from someone who was in the room. Defending free expression is no longer optional—it is urgent. @JonathanTurley

In 1783, King George III asked an American painter what George Washington would do now that he had virtually won the war. The painter replied that the General intended to return to his farm in Virginia. The King was stunned. He reportedly said, "If he does that, he will be the greatest man in the world." Throughout history, victorious generals almost always seized the throne. From Caesar to Cromwell, military success usually meant political dictatorship. The concept of voluntarily walking away from absolute power was practically unheard of. But George Washington wasn't like other men. By December 4, 1783, the British surrender at Yorktown was past, and peace was finally assured. Washington commanded a powerful, seasoned army that adored him. Conversely, many of his officers were unpaid and angry at the inefficient Congress. They had the guns, the manpower, and the loyalty to install a new monarch. He could have been King George I of America. Instead, on this day in history, Washington walked into the Long Room at Fraunces Tavern in lower Manhattan. The room was filled with his most loyal officers—men like Henry Knox and Baron von Steuben—who had frozen with him at Valley Forge and bled with him for eight long years. The atmosphere wasn't celebratory. It was heavy with inevitable separation. Washington, usually stoic and commercially reserved, poured a glass of wine and looked at his brothers-in-arms with visible emotion. "With a heart full of love and gratitude, I now take leave of you," he said, his voice shaking. "I most devoutly wish that your latter days may be as prosperous and happy as your former ones have been glorious and honorable." He didn't order them. He didn't demand their allegiance. He hugged them. One by one, the hardened soldiers wept openly. Washington embraced each man in silence. There was no pomp, no ceremony, and no speeches about future conquests. It was just a quiet goodbye between warriors who had done the impossible. Immediately after leaving the tavern, Washington didn't march on Congress to demand payment or power. He rode to Annapolis, Maryland, resigned his commission, and went home to Mount Vernon to plant crops. He did the impossible. He refused the crown. He trusted the people. By stepping down, he ensured that the United States would be a republic ruled by laws, not a kingdom ruled by force. He proved that the military serves the people, not the other way around. It was the final, and perhaps greatest, victory of the Revolution. The world watched in awe as the American Cincinnatus returned his sword to its sheath, proving that character is the strongest constitution of all.
