We live in a time that people are more inclined to obey an unlawful executive order than they are to follow a court order 🤦🏾‍♀️.

Dictators are created due to cruelty, cowardice, & compliance! IF THEIR ASSES will ignore the Supreme Court, we can definitely IGNORE HIM!

I’m going to say something that shouldn’t be controversial but will be. If you are a Christian, you can support border control and immigration being legal vs illegal. You CANNOT celebrate deportations and get off on the cruelty, and be a real Christ follower. Period

Of course advance information on US combat operations is classified. Pretending otherwise is an insult to our troops, who all know this.

Educate yourself.

When a question about a certain topic pops up, google it. Watch movies and documentaries. When something sparks your interest, read about it.

Read, read, read.

Study, learn, and stimulate your brain.

Don't just rely on the school system; educate your beautiful mind.

I refuse to be the kind of person who loses their mind over a delayed train or lets a spilled coffee set the tone for the whole day.

I want to be the one who stays composed, who sees the good even when things don’t go as planned. The kind of person who breathes through the little chaos and still finds beauty in how the day unfolds.

I want to be soft. I want to be steady.

Wow, this came at the perfect time.

Today has been a slog.

No bursts of creativity nor flashes of genius.

Today was all about pushing through and not giving up (even though I really wanted to).

So the Republican Party has historically blocked:

-Paid sick leave

-Paid family & medical leave

-Universal childcare

-Universal pre-K

-Expanded Child Tax Credit

-Programs to support reproductive health

And they're wondering why more people aren't having children?

Bcuz I used to be a Trump supporter, I engage with Trump supporters every day. Always have. Four Trump supporters today told me the exact same thing: “This is not what I voted for.” 4 random Trump supporters. Just today.

Slowly, I’m hearing this more & more from his supporters.

Pam Bondi said on Fox that the FBI’s arrest of a county judge is “sending a very strong message.” Yes, Pam, and that message is, this country is being ruled by fascist traitors.

Hi Clint. As long as you have the content, I'm happy with 30 minute long videos of handsome men. You're doing fantastic work and giving me, at least, a sense of belonging in an historical line of masculinity which I need for my well-being. Thank you again! Michael

Thanks, Michael. Appreciate the vote of confidence. Like you, I also get a “sense of belonging” making these videos. I don’t consider myself “masculine” in a traditional way, but I know I am…because there’s no singular definition. I’m a man, so I’m as masculine—or feminine—as I wanna be. Haters and trolls be damned. :-p

Absolutely Clint. We've grown used to narrowing and trying to define, "masculine". Yet we are just a chromosome away from being totally "feminine", and visa versa. We must fight, especially in the present political climate where simplistic and non-fact-based propaganda about gender has permeated the minds of the majority of Americans. We stand proud just to be ourselves with as much feminine or masculine energy as we choose to express in any given moment. You're giving all of us men a voice by …

This line shivered me timbers...in the best way possible:

"A true man is not "traditional" but "current" and "situational", given the moment in which he exists and the community in which he participates."

So well said and written, Michael. As is the rest of your comments. Thank you!

You’re too kind, Michael. I’m just making what I want to make and thrilled some fine folks seem to enjoy it. Cheers!
