I only do two things: fistfight and your mom. And your mom ain’t here…

Then we must elect better politicians. Because taxation is not theft. It is the social contract. The government does not always live up to the social contract. But that’s when it is most critical to vote.

I can’t fathom now someone believes “taxation is theft” while enjoying services supplied by the government. Their counterargument would probably be about government waste. And yes, the government should spend our taxes more judiciously at times. But, have fun funding repaving the roads, shitgibbons…

I was a Conor Lamb guy. I voted for Fetterman over Dr. Oz, obviously. But Fetterman was not my first choice by any stretch of the imagination.

If he accepted that $50k, he did, indeed, do something illegal. So again, I ask: did he accept the $50k?

That was a PERFECT throw.

Summer is such a thoughtful little girl. She gave me her Kent Tekulve autographed ball. 😢

Conor Lamb was the better option. 😔

Somehow, the name of my Italian great grandparents went from Abbruzzese to Thomas. Figure that one out.

Jim Crow essentially started in 1896 with Plessy v. Ferguson, but really ramped up in the 1920s.

That’s pretty much how it worked. My great grandmother came through Canada first. But that’s the only difference.

“My ancestors immigrated the right way.”

Bro, restrictions on immigrants from Europe were practically non-existent prior to the 1920s.

And the FSU fans are trying to beat traffic.

My first semester at Carolina, I had a 2.9 GPA, which seemed like the end of the world because I had a 3.9 in community college. But my cohort, veterans and younger transfer students alike, had similar issues. We adapted and overcame because we were able to shake the imposter syndrome.

I’m sure that’s some of it. As proud of my service as I am, it’s not something I advertise a lot. It’s only part of who I am. Another struggle is a lot of veterans don’t like to seek help. I don’t think they realize how much of a difference being part of a community can help.

Literally the perfect post.

We had an excellent veterans resource center. I’m not sure what they had for other adult learners, though. And getting veterans to participate can be like herding cats. We attracted veterans with Taco Tuesday. That is my claim to fame. That was my idea. As far as I know, they still do it.
