We joke about winning the life lottery, because we were born in the USA, but it’s not far from the truth. These visitors here for the World Cup are getting to experience what we often take for granted. I live in Alabama. I can start in Mobile and drive north for 5 hours, and still be in Alabama. My state has beautiful sandy beaches, and also has the foothills of the Appalachians. In between, we have a super speedway that pushes the limits of American muscle. Talladega. NASA is here. The Army’s rotary wing flight school is here. We have a festival every year to celebrate peanuts. We celebrate the harvest of a crop with funnel cakes and music. 2 teams from my state are currently in the College World Series, and that isn’t even our most popular sport. Don’t even get me started on football Saturdays in the fall. It’s something else entirely. My state is just 1 of 50 states that are all equally wonderful. This country is awesome, and I do love it so. 🇺🇸

.@PeteHegseth to the US Army helicopter pilots: “No punishment. No investigation. Carry on, patriots.” I’d fight with this guy to hell and back. 🇺🇸

Platner talks about about his service a lot. Claims 10 years. Says the transition to civilian life was tough. But when asked for details? Crickets. And not a single person he served with is supporting his campaign? Yeah… people have questions.

This is a New York City newsstand in the 1930s Genuine question: why no overweight people?

Anyone know of a good job for someone who hates people?

Here we go again: Bernie Sanders says he doesn’t have his birth certificate or know how to get one. “I don't have my birth certificate. God knows how I get it." Just incredible.

What’s the first thing you notice?

The veterans who are mad that there’s even a discussion about VA disability reform are the same people who go to a dozen restaurants on Veterans Day to collect as many free-meals-for-vets as possible.

Then there are people like my husband a combat vet who was blown up, bent (diving), nearly killed many times and involuntarily medically separated at 15 years. He got selected for DRILL Instructor (he wasn’t trying) and failed the physical initiating a med board, or he’d still be in. I watch Caleb and cannot comprehend how these 💩bags can live with themselves. How did they even get disability?

Low morale is a leadership issue. Low morale is usually caused by poor leadership decisions. Down playing what led to low morale makes it worse. Commanders needs to accept responsibility and an effort to do better in the future. I once heard a Commander state that low morale is a personal problem. No, it is a command problem.

Afroman is a totally one-of-a-kind vibe.

This is the funniest thing I’ve seen on the internet. Afroman had his house raided by Ohio Adam County deputies… who found absolutely nothing… broke his door, trashed his place, allegedly had $400 go missing… and then they refused to pay for the damages. So, like any reasonable rapper would do… He turned his home security footage into music videos, mocking them. And then, the deputies sued him for FOUR MILLION dollars… because they didn’t like being made fun of. And Afroman’s response? He dropped ANOTHER music video. In his own words: “Unconfidential informant lied to Police to get out of some trouble. Adam County Sherriff officers made a mistake by believing the lie. Raided my house, found nothing, refused to pay for the damages and filed a lawsuit against me, Afroman, for exercising my freedom of speech! This is me holding trial in one song. I hope you enjoy it.” They said his videos “ridiculed” them… so he decided to show them what that actually looks like. And the best part? A jury basically said… yeah… you don’t get to raid someone’s home, end up in their surveillance footage, and then cry because they used it to make fun of you.
