Sometimes I fantasize about disappearing.
Not dying.
Just logging off.
Getting a job no one cares about.
Growing tomatoes.
Writing poems in the margins of a notebook no one reads.
Not as a failure.
But as a kind of freedom.

It's hard to think of an action more damaging to American greatness, or insulting to American freedom, than cutting off cancer research to punish a university for failing to align politically with the current government.

HUGE FLIP: Democrat John Ewing Jr. just turned Omaha blue—defeating the longest-serving GOP mayor in the country and becoming the city’s first Black mayor in history.
I’m officially running to be the Ranking Member of the House Oversight Committee.
These are not normal times—and this cannot be a business-as-usual moment.

Lissen,
As an adoptee I've had to learn that one's worth is not a currency to be bartered for belonging.
You are not on Earth to be everybody’s savior, secretary, sounding board, therapist, mama, mule, or messiah.
You are not a bottomless well of “strength” for people to sip from when they’re thirsty and then walk away when they’re full. Your worth is not in your labor, your silence, your forgiveness, your caretaking, your ability to bend without breaking, or your capacity to carry what no one …
YES or NO?

We launched one of the biggest operations deep into Russia. Dozens of successful strikes. Some targets were 4,000 kilometers away.
But tell me, did you see a single image of a bombed apartment?
A Russian mother screaming in the dust?
A Russian child buried in bricks?
No. Because we don’t hit civilians.
We fight to live, not to destroy.

World-class writing
The best stories, ideas, and culture right at your fingertips.
America cannot long remain free, nor first among nations, if it becomes the kind of place where universities are dismantled because they don't align politically with the current head of the government.
Be bored more often.
Go for long walks. Meditate. Journal your thoughts. Read new books. Spend time alone without devices. You would get to understand yourself a lot much better. Your brain gets the best ideas when it is left to wander.
In those quiet moments, you'll uncover clarity and inspiration that can't be found in constant stimulation.

I might get slightly bashed for this one—but just my personal intake;
Can we please stop giving the “universe” credit for what GOD is doing?
It’s not the stars aligning — it’s the Savior making a way.
Doors don’t just open on their own. That’s GOD.
Let’s start calling it what it is and giving honor where it’s due.

It’s a simple question
The Augean Stables of D.C. By Ralph K. Ginorio (12/01/24)
This thoughtful essay describes the Herculean task that our new administration and each citizen must undertake to save our United States republic. Now is NOT the time to relax and let "them" handle it. We must be active participants or the momentum will die.
Excerpts from the article:
Mythological Hercules undertook twelve labors to demonstrate his worth as a semi-divine Olympian hero...
…the most vivid of these tasks [for the author is] the cleansing of the Augean stables. Imagine stables so caked with accumulated filth that only a literal Herculean effort would be needed to cleanse them. To make matters worse, he only had a single day to accomplish this deed.
Hercules determined that only by redirecting the flow of an entire river through these stables could he possibly succeed... Having committed himself to this task and being pressured by an implacable deadline, Hercules thought his way through this problem... Employing his creativity more than his brawn, Hercules passed this test.
…Americans are faced with an Augean Stable of our own making. As citizens, a critical mass of us…allowed our elected leaders to rule in our name, trusting that they would keep us at peace, both prosperous and free. We assumed that the free press would fairly inform us if our leaders went off-mission. We allowed our civic duty, to be vigilant in defense of our freedom, to lapse.
The disastrous results of the proverbial silent majority’s dereliction of duty only became impossible to ignore in the 2024 election cycle.
This is not a normal time. It requires heroes and it demands our civic engagement. …archons of “business as usual” cannot be permitted to protect their cushy privileges at the expense of our reclaiming control over our own government and institutions.
Trump and MAGA are Hercules. The Deep State is the Augean Stables. Moderate RINOs are the failed stable hands… We awakened Americans must be that river which, when unleashed, will …restore a clean and worthy government dedicated to the preservation of our natural, God-given rights. Nothing less will do!
