Sadly, I woke up to some heartbreaking news this morning here in Baton Rouge , Louisiana. Someone broke into my van overnight, shattered two windows, stole a lawnmower, and ransacked everything inside. It’s honestly heartbreaking and deflating, especially when you’re simply trying to do good and make a difference. I can’t understand why someone would do something like this. I’ve contacted the police, and I’m currently waiting for them to arrive and process the van for fingerprints. Unfortunately, this means I won’t be able to attend the Louisiana Book Festival today as planned. I was really looking forward to meeting everyone and sharing my books, but right now, I’m just trying to process everything that happened.

A three-star general reportedly failed three polygraphs during a classified-leak investigation involving American war plans, and The Atlantic's big fucking scandal was that Pete Hegseth supposedly couldn't tolerate disagreement.
Are you shitting me?
Lieutenant General Brett Sylvia was reportedly investigated for leaking classified information involving Iran, Ukraine, and other sensitive matters. Pentagon sources allege he even began meeting journalists outside the building after Hegseth tightened media access. The investigation was referred to the Justice Department.
And somehow we're supposed to wring our hands over the poor general's professional disagreements?
What kind of arrogant, self-important asshole believes three stars and a security clearance grant him the authority to potentially compromise wartime secrets because civilian leadership rejected his advice?
American service members are operating in a dangerous conflict. The president is making decisions involving military operations, diplomacy, and national security. Classified information in the wrong hands could compromise those decisions and endanger American lives.
Yet Washington's pampered military aristocracy apparently expects everyone to treat a general's wounded fucking ego as the greater national emergency.
And the media? Naturally, Hegseth becomes the villain. The suspected leaker becomes the sympathetic professional. The alleged betrayal of military trust gets buried beneath another convenient narrative about Trump's supposedly reckless Pentagon leadership.
What an absolutely breathtaking pile of bullshit.
The allegations demand a complete investigation, and any criminal conduct established deserves serious punishment. No rank, reputation, or collection of powerful media friends should interfere.
Because if a senior officer deliberately weaponizes classified information against lawful civilian leadership, he's disgraced the uniform, violated the trust placed in him, and endangered the country he's sworn to serve.
And America has a serious fucking problem when generals start treating the stars on their shoulders as a license to betray the flag stitched onto the same goddamn uniform.

Well said, Sir. Semper Fi !
The hardest thing I ever carried home from war wasn’t a weapon. It was the weight of knowing I was alive while brothers I loved were lying beneath an American flag.
And God help me, there are days I still wonder why I got to come home and they didn’t.
I have stood over the graves of men I would have given my own life to save. Watched a flag folded with steady hands while everything inside me was falling apart.
People thanked me for my service that day. I couldn’t even find the strength to answer.
It wasn’t Taps that broke me. It was the silence afterward. Knowing I would get another sunrise, another birthday, another chance to hug my family, while a brother of mine never would.
I’ve carried that weight through years of laughter, pain, and sleepless nights.
Sometimes all it takes is the sound of a flag moving in the wind, and suddenly I’m standing there again.
I came home from war, but not every part of me made it back.
But somewhere along the way, I began to understand something. My brothers wouldn’t want me to spend the rest of my life buried in sorrow. They would want me to laugh again. To love deeply. To hold my family close. To find peace in the freedoms they gave everything to protect.
And maybe that’s how I honor them best.
Not by pretending the pain is gone, but by refusing to let it steal the good that remains.
I still believe that when God finally calls me home, those brothers will be waiting. And maybe, just maybe, there won’t be any more goodbyes.
Until then, I’ll keep living, keep loving, and keep finding reasons to be grateful for another day.
Because the greatest way I can honor the men who never came home is to make something beautiful out of the life I was blessed to bring back.
And when the wind catches that flag, I won’t just remember what we lost. I’ll remember what they gave us to live for.

Journalism is Dead: I took many writing classes in school and college. I know the difference between good journalism and bad journalism. However in today’s society real journalism has lost touch on The Who, Where, and What! It’s all about what sells and what doesn’t sell and who cares if it is true or false. Who cares if it has the meat and potatoes to fit the narrative. There is no such thing as real journalism anymore. It’s whoever gets the best story and can twist it into something it’s not. Cause yeah we all know that truth and facts do not matter, but what does matter is how much money it pays. I don’t rely on local news or Newspapers , but occasionally I will stop and glimpse at what the headlines say. But I wouldn’t spend a Dime on their stories or propaganda . Real journalism does not exist these days. There are not many who are fair and balanced, and there is not much honesty in their writings. In the day a newspaper was your only source of news, then came the TV . Now we have this thing called the internet. My how we have evolved. That’s today’s news . Many are very gullible and believe everything they see and hear. But all too often many refuse to do their own research and put their own thoughts into it. Because yeah I read it on the internet. And we all know that the internet doesn’t lie.. 😂🤣 that’s real journalism
W,W,W,W,W...answeres the ?'s. I was editor of HS yr book, editor and writer school monthly paper. Bunch of crap now days. The headlines are a real joke. Sad.

Hello Senator Thune,
Let's expose what you're really doing with "reconciliation."
You announced it yesterday, eleven months after the House passed the SAVE America Act. You're not trying to pass this bill. You're trying to kill it in a way you can blame on process.
Here's how we know:
Reconciliation requires the Senate parliamentarian to rule that provisions are "budgetary." Citizenship verification is not budgetary. Photo ID mandates are not budgetary. The parliamentarian will gut the bill. Then you'll shrug and say "we tried." We see through you.
Meanwhile, you WON'T use the tools that actually work:
Rule XIX limits each senator to two speeches per legislative day. Keep the Senate in continuous session, file cloture daily, and the filibuster exhausts in ~12-20 days. You dismissed it as "complicated." Because if you tried and succeeded, you'd have to actually pass the bill.
Harry Reid nuked the filibuster in 2013 when he wanted results.
Mitch McConnell changed Senate rules THREE times and canceled the August recess.
Chuck Schumer used reconciliation within months on a 50-50 Senate.
You have 53 seats. You've changed nothing, canceled nothing, and waited eleven months.
Now let's talk donors:
• Goldman Sachs: $150K to you - top H-1B user
• Google: $75K - lobbies against E-Verify
• Meta: $72.5K - Zuckerberg's FWD[.]us pushes mass immigration
• Wells Fargo: $90K - banks undocumented immigrants
Same corporations sponsor Punchbowl News, where you sit for "Fly Out Days" which nobody watches except Congress staffers and K Street lobbyists who pays premium bucks for legislative intelligence. Their reporter then telegraphs to the audience the SAVE Act "will ultimately fail."
Corporate money flows to you AND to the outlet that frames your inaction as inevitable.
We see the loop.
You called grassroots anger a "paid influencer ecosystem." YOU are the paid influencer. You take the wrong side of a 80% issue because you are indistinguishable from a K Street mouthpiece, and an ineffective one to boot who won't bend the rules to get anything passed.
What we want:
1. Force a real talking filibuster.
2. Stop hiding behind process.
3. Pass the SAVE America Act.
YOU will become the reason that we will have our butts kicked in midterms. Not Candace Owens, not Nick Fuentes, not anyone else. You and you alone, and all because you want to make the 200 or so viewers of Punchbowl Fly Out Days happy. You're living in a K Street information bubble, addicted to the comforts and praises of lobbyists masquerading as journalists. You mistake the steak and martini dinners you get invited to as your own constituents.
You are not "moderate." The SAVE America Act has 98% support among Republicans. Name one other thing that has 98% support. You are an extreme minority who prides himself on being a calm leader, when in reality you are well in the running for the most ineffective Majority leader of all time.
Prove me wrong. Do the bare modicum of effort. Not symbolic. Actual effort. Cancel the recess. Get SAVE America Act passed.
