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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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 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.

Best advice I received:

If you overthink, Write.

If you underthink, Read.

and that is all.

Trump had expressed that he wanted the King of Norway, Harald, to invite him to Norway. So the King invited Obama instead.

I feel like Substack is lowkey full of the people who get overly excited about the small things in life which everyone else seems to miss - that morning coffee, the luxury of fresh sheets, the tiny synchronicities, evening light

Gonna say something obvious to most: real masculinity defends the defenseless, punches up not down, has compassion, and fights only on behalf of others to battle injustice or evil.

It doesn’t just lift weights and tweet in all caps and listen to Rogan and grow a beard to feel accepted by other men

5 Times to Choose Silence:

1. Be silent when someone is teaching you something new.

2. Be silent if you're about to criticize without a solution.

3. Be silent when your words might add fuel to rumors.

4. Be silent when your heart needs time to heal.

5. Be silent if speaking might disrupt a peaceful moment.

Photon and Lazer Tag were different things? In my mind, as a kid, they seemed to be one and the same, or at least from the same manufacturer.

I think most kids felt that way. Unless they were confronted by different brand purchases like I was at the time.
