People of Denmark. And Greenland.

Please know that Trump does not speak for an overwhelming majority of here in the US. And he especially doesn’t speak for American veterans.

We understand and appreciate your friendship, your support, your sovereignty, and especially your sacrifices.🇺🇸🇩🇰🇬🇱

The patriotic purged are shaping up to be a powerful political wave. Leaders from the military, FBI, Justice and across the government. And 1/3 of those fired by DOGE that are vets.
After decades of service to our country, a career that started as a Navy pilot and finished as a three star admiral, I was removed from my position without cause.

I still have more to give, more to fight for, more work to do — and I am not done serving.

⚡️ICE is out of control.

And it’s only a matter of time before there’s a blue-on-blue friendly fire tragedy.

President Mayhem wants Greenland. Troops are on alert for Minneapolis. ICE is out of control. The press is under attack.

And in the CFB.
So often in today’s NFL, it’s not the QB that throws the game-winning TD that wins the game. It’s the QB that throws the pick that loses it.

Stafford is/was the difference. And must be the MVP.

MENDOZA. Guts. Toughness. Clutch. Inspiration. Per usual. He’s incredible.

They are ripping and tearing our country apart.

Every day. And more and more by the day.

Put ICE on trial. And shut em down.🚨🇺🇸
WATCH how heavily amred ICE agents drag an elderly U.S. Citizen out of his home in the snow! ​ChongLy Scott Thao (St. Paul, MN) was pulled out barefoot and half naked in freezing temps. No respect for human dignity. No due process. Just brute force and humiliation.

On Martin Luther King Jr Day.

Don’t have a failure of imagination.

He would do it.

Abolish ICE.

And until that eventually happens, continue to record and share EVERYTHING they do.
Video circulating online alleges an ICE agent sprayed a 15-year-old girl in the face with pepper spray in Minnesota. The girl appears to panic and lash out before her mother intervenes, yet agents still threaten arrest. Her mother then guides her to the car to go to the ER.

Good decision-making is the single most important thing for an NFL QB. Especially in the playoffs.

CJ Stoud is finding that out the hard way today. What a bad half.
