It's 5am as I head toward the race. First prize is a loaf of bread. My children are starving. "Get that bread," I say. My limp worsens. My children are starving. Gotta get that bread.

If the Nobel committee won’t give Trump the Peace Prize for ending the most number of wars… maybe they’ll give it to him for ending one war the most number of times.

Huh, I did not expect The Pope to lead the way in Woke 2.0

Pope Leo XIV made a historic apology on Monday for the Holy See's role in legitimizing slavery and for having failed to condemn it for centuries, calling the Vatican's record a "wound in Christian memory." https://to.pbs.org/4tTcBWM

Only Donald Trump has what it takes to bring triumph to a nation and humiliating defeat to its enemies. Unfortunately that nation is Iran

60 Minutes confirms Iran is bypassing the US blockade and exporting 100,000 more barrels of oil per day than before the war. Most of it is reportedly going to China.

Shocking stuff from the CEO of Vornado Realty Trust on his latest earnings call:

The matter-of-fact way she asks what investors should do if Trump destroys Iran. Absolutely wild. "Let's talk about tonight, this deadline that President Trump has set 8 p.m., has threatened to destroy a civilization. How does an investor process that? Is it a bigger upside risk or downside risk?"

He is clearly signaling his intention to commit mass murder on an unthinkable scale. Those who could stop it - could TRY to stop it - and don’t will have it forever on their conscience.

It's not been a great day. My next door neighbor was murdered in his home last night and I spent the afternoon dealing with the police in my front yard. Found footage of the suspect's vehicle on my doorbell camera and sent it to the police. East Charlotte lost a pillar of the community today.

Today's my first day of walking without my ankle immobilization boot and it feels WEIRD. My arch has never been higher, some specific muscles get tired very quickly, and getting back into bending my knee when walking is taking some time. Finally getting to the end of this recovery 🎉

Honestly when I see or hear people using these, I treat them like they have a Nazi tattoo. You don't get to use Nazi language and not be treated like a Nazi. You just don't.

John Breen@breen.tech

For the record, the Nazis are spreading terms like “zio” and “zog” into leftist spaces intentionally as an on-ramp to fascism. This is what cryptofascism means. They explicitly talk about doing this on their forums and telegram channels. You’re being played.

I truly do think all of the "Noem out, Mullin in" posts and stories are failing American democracy right now! Trump is announcing his nominee. That's it. If the Senate majority wants to confirm him, they're a part of this—even after knowing what they know now. And that matters come November.
