Congratulations to Luke and his loving family! If only more Americans were willing and able to do their part and follow in our footsteps. 🇺🇸🫡🇺🇸
Well, my son left for the Army today. I remember being in the same position 26 years ago, headed to Ft Benning wondering what it was going to be like. It’s a unique feeling of both pride in the man he has become and concern of a parent that wants their child to be safe. I know he will do well. I know the Army will be a better place for his presence. But right now our house is lonelier because of his absence. But this is the way. This day was always going to come. God has laid this path before him and he is dutifully following it. God speed Luke. We love you, are proud of you, and look forward to seeing you on that graduation field as you earn your place among those who have gone before you. God speed son.

YES These are threats to our country, but just as important, the risk of life to our agents when their actions are leaked with the potential of an ambush to stop them. Weed out the traitors!
🚨 BREAKING: Do you support Kristi Noem in prosecuting everyone involved in leaking the ICE immigration raid, even FBI officials? YES or NO? (If YES, I'll follow you back!)

Yeah, these phonies don't care about the REALITY that we will not combine opinions with facts. FACT: There are ONLY two sexes/genders...Male (XY) and Female (XX). Everything else is an "Opinion" and cannot be elevated to "Fact" when it comes to law. Period.
I don’t care how shiny or nice your hair is, you do not belong in women’s sports, in our locker rooms, or in our restrooms. If you think that infringing is on your imaginary “rights“ that is too damn bad

Lemmings always operate on "talking points" from their leaders. Glad they haven't learned anything and hope they never do! 😉
Heads up - the left media and all the dems are going to start using the phrase “constitutional crisis.” @kaitlancollins started it after it appeared in the @nytimes and now @BernieSanders is saying it. Just like they all decided republicans were “weird.” They’ve learned nothing.

Haven't heard about the KC Extra Point thing. What was that about?
@garycp70 Saw the odds to win SB next year. KC & Philly at the top. Not interested. DET looked like best bet. Did you hear about the $2200 to make $100 on KC xtra point?

49ers, Lions, Commanders, Rams, Packers... 49ers and Lions were devastated by injuries to several key starters, while the Commanders, Rams and Packers are maybe a player or two away from being Super Bowl Contenders. Lots of trades and drafted players who can make immediate impacts on any of those five teams AND the Eagles. We'll see who they line-up and who can stay relatively healthy next season. 😉
Name a NFC team that can beat the Eagles in the playoffs next season 💪

Reminder: The Super Bowl doesn't measure the success of any player, but a whole team. Dan Marino, Barry Sanders and LaDainian Tomlinson, are perfect examples of greatness without Super Bowl Rings.
@DonAtkinsonNFL Yes that is true. You cant get blown out twice in the Super Bowl and expect to be called the Goat. Only way he becomes the goat is if he wins 8 Super Bowls which is highly unlikely.

My Top 10 list: 1) Joe Montana 2) Dan Marino 3) Peyton Manning 4) John Elway 5) Roger Staubach 6) Steve Young 7) Tom Brady 8) Johnny Unitas 9) Patrick Mahomes 10)Aaron Rodgers I keep in mind that Championships in football reflect a "Team" effort, with few individual heroics turning the tide. Also, Mahomes, Allen, Jackson and Burrow don't have the longevity to be on the list, as they are in their Prime. Of the four, clearly Mahomes has established his credentials for the Hall of Fame (barring something egregious like betting on NFL Games or throwing games for money, dogfighting, murder, etc). They are all under 30 and probably have at least another decade to achieve greatness, possibly beyond my Top 10 listed.
@DonAtkinsonNFL 1. Brady 2. Montana 3. Manning 4. Mahomes 5. Rodgers 6. Marino 7. Elway 8. Favre 9. Young (most underrated QB all time) 10. Brees Just going 80’s on since I saw these people play live.

Sadly, we are left to compare players like Mahomes and Brady of the 21st Century to greats who played without protection rules of the 20th Century, like Montana and Marino. I believe that if the current rules protecting QBs existed back in the 20th Century, QBs would have been starters into their late 30s and early 40s, as well. We'll never know how much greater Montana could have been, or if he could have led the 49ers to the "three-peat" 😉
Patrick Mahomes is an exceptional quarterback who will almost certainly be a HOFer when he retires. But Patrick Mahomes isn’t Joe Montana. He never was. If you want to debate this point, plan on telling me you saw Montana play every game through all those years, both before and after the SB trophies. Because I did. Mahomes is great. But he ain’t lookin’ down at quite everybody.

The Beatles in 1966. Queen in 1978 would be my number two.

Genius! Thank you for correcting this injustice and with "the twist" by honoring PFC Roland L. Bragg. Personal thought: The only base name changes I supported was Fort Moore, however, I still know it as Ft. Benning from my mobilization with the 249th Medical Company (Air Ambulance) in support of Operation Noble Eagle (2004-2005), replacing the 490th Medical Company (Air Ambulance) with our UH-1 Huey's while they deployed to Iraq with their UH-60 Blackhawks, and Fort Cavazos from Ft. Hood in honor of Medal of Honor recipient, General Richard E. Cavazos. I am not familiar with any of the other changes, but "Fort Liberty" definitely had to go! Thank you, sir!
Bragg now. More to come. 🇺🇸

@PeteHegseth Great decision and impressed with the "twist" that should satisfy everyone...except the haters, of course.

I think some booed because she used to be an Eagles fan and now roots for her boyfriend's team and the Eagles fans were the majority at the game. I personally wouldn't boo her for the fact that I am not a negative person, however, her negative affect on Travis Swift and really hurt his fantasy football value as my overall #1 pick and cost me 7 close games where he did little. 😉
I know I see this differently than a lot of my conservative friends, but I didn’t like nor do I celebrate the booing of Taylor Swift. What did she do to any of y’all? I get that she endorsed Kamala but that’s her right. Are we supposed to hate someone because they have different political opinions? Overall, she is a wholesome and talented performer, who, by all accounts, is kind to her crew and a nice person. I don’t celebrate that kind of thing being booed just because she voted for someone that I didn’t.
