Story from the Mar a Lago awards w/ @OKeefeMedia
Words can't express how honored, humbled, & grateful I am to be recognized among much bigger heroes with this award for courage, integrity, & truth from @jamesokeefeiii & @okeefemedia at the President's Mar a Lago for catching over $76M in fraud by Florida Tech's President and refusing to sell out to his $96k offer of hush money. Thanks to everyone standing for truth in a world of lies. With all my heart: THANK YOU for this Honor of a Lifetime 🙏

Can I say something without pissing everyone off?
Look at this loser. Short, chubby, with his gelled back hair, fake Ray Bans and whatever the F is happening with that lower lip happy trail and white undershirt to hide his lack of chest hair.
Loser.
And it gets worse. He’s a single dude who snuggles with his cat before clocking in at a tire store. Couldn’t even get a like on a dating app.
Loser.
And it’s worse. He’s got some spinal thing making him a partial cripple and a pronounced learning disabilities.
Loser.
Does that piss you off? Does telling the truth anger you? Am I not allowed to say the blatantly obvious online?
Does saying the truth EVERYONE is thinking make me a judgmental, ableist prick?
Screw you for judging me.
Stop being aholes to people with the balls to tell you the unvarnished truth.
If this guy had called me, a experienced mariner with the highest USCG license imaginable, and told me his plan to buy a shit ass boat and sail it around the world I would have told this loser he was going to fail.
But he didn’t call me. He took the official motto of American mariners to heart.
Acta Non Verba
Actions not words.
He wrote a letter not to Garcia but to himself.
And if he had called me, how dare I “kill” his dream? How dare me for saying I would have told him he’d fail?
Because fail he did. He only made it to Hawaii.
With his cat.
A cat.
Loser?
Fuck no. He failed. At sea. An unforgiving sea that doesn’t give a shit about your dreams or aspirations or whatever the F is happening with that lower lip happy trail.
A sea that rewards experience and gives absolutely no bonus points because you couldn’t afford better gear because you work in a tire store.
And failure brings experience. And failure makes you figure out how to beg, borrow or steal that equipment you can’t afford.
Failure by a working class loser and his cat inspired millions to fund a second attempt.
Did he take that money and drop it on a perfect boat? Nope. Did he drop the boat he did purchase at a boatyard and say “fix it”? Nope.
He spent months on the hard building out the systems himself.
Now he’s making a solid go.
And if he called me today and asked for advice… what would I say? Well he wouldn’t call me, I have decades of experience but he’s in another league. Above me.
Screw Lionel Messi
Screw Keanu Reeves
Screw LeBron James
Screw whatever sports star or politician or activist or actor you admire most.
This guy is above them.
Now I’m not saying Lionel or Keanu or whoever isn’t worthy of admiration. I deeply respect their talent and work ethic.
But they aren’t tire guy loser sailing with his cat AROUND THE F WORLD nonstop alone:
Fewer people have done that than climbed Everest and he has zero sherpa’s to help.
And nearly every other dangerous sport in earth you’ll get to a hospital in a few days if injured. Not this guy. He is far beyond the max cruising range of any rescue helicopter.
Meet Oliver Widger
Loser turned THE coolest guy on planet earth IMHO
Patriot
Daredevil
Poet
Philosopher of the sea
Inspiration
From tire store rags to the riches of purpose filled life.
Bravo Zulu Oliver Widger. I am truly and passionately impressed 🫡

“As Sherman put it: It is only those who have neither fired a shot nor heard the shrieks and groans of the wounded who cry aloud for blood, more vengeance, more desolation. War is hell.”
I just caught up on some of the recent posts from @DataRepublican, and they’re chilling—not primarily because they outline a violent uprising, but because they reveal a strategy of manufacturing a constitutional crisis in which states declare the federal government illegitimate. What’s alarming is the sheer ignorance and hubris of the people treating this as a workable path. They appear to believe such a rupture can be contained or directed, yet they show little understanding of either American history or the practical consequences of delegitimizing the federal order.
The people driving this approach are largely led by academics who have never borne responsibility for real-world outcomes, military officers who couldn’t produce a coherent strategy to win a twenty-year war, and former intelligence officials whose records inspire little confidence. They seem prepared to sacrifice institutional stability—and the young idealists who would be drawn into the resulting chaos—while remaining safely removed from the fallout themselves.
What they fail to grasp is that the Constitution is not merely a set of rules that can be voided by state declaration. It is bound to the oaths of those sworn to defend it and to the habits of a population raised on the Bill of Rights. America is not Europe, China, or any other society in which a central authority can be nullified with limited resistance. Attempts to engineer a crisis of legitimacy will not remain a matter of legal posturing. They will collide with people who take their oaths seriously, and the resulting contest over authority is unlikely to stay bloodless.
The American Civil War remains the deadliest conflict in U.S. history. Roughly 2% of the population died—men, women, and children—in what was, by historical standards, a relatively conventional war fought between uniformed armies. Scaled to today’s population, that figure approaches 7.5 million dead. A modern breakdown in which states and the federal government treat one another as illegitimate would almost certainly be worse: a grinding conflict fought in neighborhoods, towns, and cities, where the line between friend and enemy would be unclear and ordinary life would become impossible. Anyone of consequence would carry a target, and trust would collapse.
This is not a call for violence. It is a plea to avoid the conditions that make violence probable. Many of us have seen what war actually does, and we understand the cost that would be imposed on the next generation because some believe their preferred political outcome can be forced by creating a crisis of legitimacy. Trump leaves office in two years. If the goal is to alter the constitutional order, the Framers already provided the mechanism for doing so. Use it. Do not manufacture a crisis that invites states to treat the federal government as illegitimate while others pay the price.
As Sherman put it: “It is only those who have neither fired a shot nor heard the shrieks and groans of the wounded who cry aloud for blood, more vengeance, more desolation. War is hell.”

Ilhan Omar has now contorted herself into more positions than that Cornell girl who did 7 guys then got mad when they didnt invite her to the Halloween party, Lucy Craig.
I was an APA Diversity Fellow (2009-2010), taught a tenured professor in APA-accredited Doctoral programs in Clinical Psychology, have served for 10 years as a Reviewer for APA fellowships, and have direct videos of the APA admitting they lie to lawmakers to hide their support of "gender affirming" care that I told them was pseudoscience garbage - in addition to University President (CSUDH) & APA Clinical Psychologist training other Psychologists on how they want to "disrupt and dislodge" White people and make their White clients "uncomfortable" as a response to their "residual white supremacy".
Dear @EDSecMcMahon & @usedgov: The @WSJ article by @SwipeWright & @Hartz_PhD is right: the APA must lost their accrediting authority - they are long past gone and are far more dangerous than they are helpful. I am glad to give professional expert testimony as such, and to more (and there is much, much more: such as the dire implications for Woke Psychology infiltrating the @DeptofWar to indoctrinate its warriors in need of support, as I have spoken about to @STARRSmission below.
I have reported this several times, such as Fox News, Gateway Pundit, Fox News Digital, and more:
Fox News article: foxnews.com/politics/inside-…
Gateway Pundit Article: thegatewaypundit.com/2025/10…).
My report on the WHCA: raddante.substack.com/p/as-f…
And APA CSU President racist teachings to clinical Psychologists via Gateway Pundit: thegatewaypundit.com/2025/10…
🚨 NEW: For the @WSJ, @Hartz_PhD and I expose the ideological takeover of the American Psychological Association.
The APA is facing the possible loss of its federal accreditation authority following allegations of widespread antisemitism.
But while the APA's antisemitism problem is serious, it's only a symptom of a much deeper ideological rot.
The organization has become so captured by radical left-wing political activism that its commitment to scientific objectivity competence is now in serious doubt.
We examined the program for this year's major APA Division 39 conference, which drew nearly 800 attendees and held 90 panels over four days.
By our count, roughly 70 of the 90 panels were overtly political, and always left-wing. Topics included abolishing the family, queer anarchist psychoanalysis, dismantling gender assessment guidelines, and white supremacy. One session even concluded with a drag show.
There was at least some hope that the threat of losing federal accreditation might prompt some institutional soul-searching. It didn't.
Instead, APA members just elected Candice Hargons as their next president. Her campaign identifies "systemic intersectional oppression" as the profession's "common enemy" and calls for rejecting the traditional scientific notions of objectivity.
Psychologists wield enormous influence over vulnerable patients, and the people seeking treatment deserve the peace of mind knowing that the care they're receiving care is evidence based and not tainted radical politics.
We believe most would agree that federal accreditation should actually mean something. If the APA cannot distinguish its scientific mission from its political activism, the Education Department should reconsider whether it deserves the government's endorsement as an authority over psychological training.

Is there no one else, @Grok, @EdWorkforceCmte?
Independent search finds only one: Rick Addante (b. 1982), PhD Neuroscience (UC Davis), tenured Associate Professor of Psychology/Biomedical Engineering at Florida Tech. Memory discoveries revised textbooks; NASA analog astronaut. Now whistleblower/speaker after firing for exposing DEI issues. Training takes 15-25 years (PhD + postdoc + tenure track). Pipeline scarcity implies decades to rebuild balanced expertise as older cohorts retire, risking prolonged ideological skew in academia, science, and US leadership.

Follow & thank these independent journalists for having had the brains & balls to report the Ilhan Omar fraud many years ago when Republicans hated hearing about it and ignored the truth like the plague: @realDSteinberg , @scottwjohnson , and @psamsundar
I'm thrilled that Ilhan Omar is *finally* (perhaps) going to get her just deserts, but it is frustrating that it has taken so long.
Ben Weingarten wrote American Ingrate exposing Omar in 2020 , and @realDSteinberg, @scottwjohnson, and @psamsundar (among others) were reporting on the marriage fraud issue from Minnesota A DECADE AGO.
And yet, DC Republicans did nothing to hold her to account until now.
I get that it takes a while to build a case, but it doesn't take a decade.

Buddy of mine was in an absurd Highlander role for some years.
I'll have more on his story later today, but @RickAddante of Florida Tech seems to have been the ONLY white...straight...male...Republican...social scientist from the last two generations with tenure.
Talk to him about it!
Lets ask Grok about the future: young conservative/Republican professors:
@Grok how many Millennial aged professors (b.1981 and after) were tenured in America during the DEI regime (2000-2025), who were openly-conservative in their views such that they were public views (not hidden in the closet)? Who are their names, their fields of study, their respective credentials, and what are they doing now? Also, please note how long it takes to train and credential a tenured professor, and thus how long it will take to fix the issue, and what kind of a prognosis that makes and implicates for the future of America. Thanks.
Can answer at the expert level, and please do not forget to answer any of the questions asked.
Ilhan Omar has now contorted herself into more positions than that Cornell girl who did 7 guys then got mad when they didnt invite her to the Halloween party, Lucy Craig.

Vice President JD Vance breaks down the data:
"If you are working as an H-1B visa in the United States of America, you’re earning $20,000 less than an American citizen hired in the same position. If you were brought in by one of these foreign outsourcing firms, you’re making $48,000 less than an American citizen in a similar position. So I’m sure that everybody here understands the game that is being played. You bring in indentured servants from outside the country, you lay off American workers and, if you’re a corporation, you make a ton of money by under cutting the wages of American workers, replacing them with people who frankly shouldn’t be in the United States of America to begin with."

“Talent shortage” is a hell of a way to spell CHEAP LABOR.
Fire Americans. Undercut wages. Pocket the difference.
@VP called out the game. If your business model depends on screwing American workers, expect subpoenas and a door knock.

The future is bright.
You need to understand how Right-wing people under 40 view the Left.
When we think of Leftists, we do not think of Barack Obama or Ezra Klein. Yes, these guys are on the Left, but younger Millennials and Zoomers on the Right do not think of Leftists in their own age bracket as polished technocrats.
These are not the sort of people that make up our Left-wing counterparts that we grew up with, went to school with, or work with.
When we think of Leftists, the first thing that pops into our head are a bunch of disgusting, depraved, spiteful mutants who want to destroy everything around them as payback for the crime of being born.
We think of Discord troons that invaded our hobbies, Reddit mods who are drunk on the most insignificant power imaginable, that one girl from high school or college who became a literal Communist, and that friend or family member who cut off all contact because we refused to treat their mental illness like a status symbol.
We think of people who, if they ever became a majority of the country and actually managed to possess political power, would inevitably kill tens of millions of people out of blind envy and petty cruelty.
Younger people on the Right come across as impatient and anxious in their mindset and mannerisms because they understand what will eventually happen when these people succeed their Gen X and Boomer predecessors in the Democratic Party.
They know what is to come if their own generational cohorts on the Left actually take power, and they feel incredibly exasperated that it seems like none of their parents or grandparents understand just how late the hour truly is.

FLASHBACK: A fall 2016 profile from the local Twin Cities City Pages publication referred to Rep. Omar's father as "Nur Said Elmi Mohamed," before later changing it.
Per @realDSteinberg, classmates of "Ahmed N. Elmi," a graduate of high school in St. Paul, MN in 2003, claim he lived with the man identified as Ilhan Omar's father.
Leila Nur Said Elmi, the only such Elmi in the UK per Steinberg -- and Ahmed Nur Said Elmi's likely caretaker there when he was a child, lists "Nur Said Elmi" on her marriage certificate. Ilhan Omar's father was friends with her on Facebook.
Deleted pictures on social media put Ilhan Omar alongside what appears to be Leila Elmi, and Ilhan's father, in 2011 in Kenya.
Ilhan Omar appeared next to Leila in 2015 in London, in a photograph with text superimposed over it reading "I heart my sisters," with hashtags #sisterhood and #londontrip in the caption.
A Leila Elmi appears to have accompanied Ilhan Omar on a trip to Washington, D.C. in Dec. 2016 during a visit in which Omar claimed she was harassed by a cabbie while traveling with her "sister."
In 2013, Ilhan Omar wished "Nur Said" a happy Father's Day, only to delete it in Sept. 2019.
That same year, Omar celebrated the formation of Jubaland, a Somali state. Also that year, the congresswoman's brother-in-law, and a "Nur Said Elmi Mohamed," signed an open letter from the St. Anthony, Minnesota-based Jubaland Foundation regarding the formation of the state.
Somali naming convention says that if Nur Said Elmi Mohamed was the father, his children's names would end in "Nur Said Elmi."
So if he he had a son named Ahmed, Ahmed's full name would be Ahmed Nur Said Elmi.
If he had a daughter named Ilhan, her name would be Ilhan Nur Said Elmi.
Make of all that what you will in light of how the federal government refers to Omar as "Ilhan Nur Said Elmi."
All of this and more is covered in my book, American Ingrate. amazon.com/American-Ingrate-…
