Trump’s worldview is one of winners and losers. Always has been. His new National Security Strategy picks Russia, China, authoritarians, his friends and his family as the winners. Do you know who Trump decided the losers are? You and your family and our safety.

Allies may panic; despots will cheer

Made teen #1 and #2 ride the city bus today. I thinks it’s good to put them in situations where they feel uncomfortable but also safe.
#2 is loving it. #1 less so. #2 may be a future fan of public transit, #1 may be locked in as a passenger princess, we’ll see. #parenting

The amount of step by step instructions I have to give my teenage children in order for them to complete the most basic of chores (that they have been doing for years) drives me insane.
How many ways can we screw up taking out the trash? All of them, approaching genius levels of incompetence #kids

I love it when I pick up old GW kits and they still have the original price tags. Even 11 year old me with my lawn mowing $ could have afforded a $6 blister
But I will say, you get a lot more in the new kits

Building community is important. About a year ago my friend and I (who both love war gaming) decided to be intent on building a community around our hobby. Today, we’ve got 8 people around the table playing a crazy fun King of the Hill style game. Achievement unlocked!

The Epstein scandal has always been a scandal about the ruling class as a whole, not one individual or political party.
Epstein trafficked not just in the bodies of the children he abused but also in social connections that could bring elites together.

Epstein’s emails are the end of America as they ruined it
If the evil banality of the world's most powerful people exposed in the Epstein emails doesn't cause a revolution, nothing will.

"The Republican Party has created an entirely avoidable mess for itself. By taking a resolute stand in favor of making healthcare unobtainable for many Americans, and now threatening to starve children to achieve that perverse goal, they have made performative cruelty their political calling card."
Mike Johnson's lies keep getting lost in the facts
The shutdown is exposing the speaker's slimy disingenuousness.

This story has been all over my feed and I’m glad it’s getting traction. The GOP hates America, and this needs to be more widely reported
The GOP are racist, sexist, bigoted Nazis. And all I have to do is point to their own words
They also look like total dweebs and losers, sad people

POLITICO: “.. They referred to Black people as monkeys and ‘the watermelon people’ and mused about putting their political opponents in gas chambers. They talked about raping their enemies .. and lauded Republicans who they believed support slavery.

One of the things I love about conference season is talking with those parents who are so obviously excited to yell at teachers
The condescending tone, the subtle ways they let you know they think you’ve failed at life
Makes it hard to head in the next day

The disappearance of America’s leadership class at a time like this means that the rest of us have to be leaders. We can no longer wait to be led by those with the power and authority to lead. You must lead, I must lead, all of us must lead. We are the leaders we’ve been waiting for.

Liberals are both soy boy cucks who’ve never used their muscles & cry at the memory of the cow at a BBQ and Capable of Jason Bourne levels of violence if they hear you use the wrong pronouns in a meeting. They believe both with their whole heart

First time in 9 years I’m not coaching at a football game on Friday night Coaching was not part of my vision when I started teaching but it became a key part of my career
My kids are doing things now and I need to be there for them
Sometimes I miss it, and sometimes I don’t
Still checking scores

Please, please, more of this. I don’t want buzz words or consultant driven focus groups workshopping canned speeches.
I want honesty and I want leaders who will fight.
