For those of you new here, so am I!

I had been on Twitter since 2013, where I've been tweeting about my experiences as a police officer, contemporary policing issues, politics, fatherhood, and posting pictures of my shina inu.

I'll continue to do that here, so I hope you'll give me a follow!

It's the worst part of the year.

The building heat has been turned on, but the temperatures are still way too hot for the heat to be on.

I'm cooking in my office.

I've told my Detectives to make themselves comfortable in the office, but they still need to wear pants.

Can’t vote on the Epstein files if the whole government is shut down.

My biggest takeaway from the Hegseth speech is that Elon Musk tweeted out that Donald Trump is on the Epstein List.

Watched the Hegseth speech.

Putin and Xi must wake up every day, look at America's changing priorities, and think it's Christmas.

We are giving the Pacific to China and giving up on Europe.

Started cooking dinner and cracked open a beer.

The wife called and said she needed to help her sister and pushed dinner back by two hours.

So this cooking beer just became an afternoon beer.

Cheers!

Admittedly, I've never been to Quantico because I don't eat crayons.

But where do you house 900+ flag officers plus their staff?

Is a two star going to have to struggle putting on the second cross bar of his military issued cot?

It's kind of wild that right now, hundreds of Generals and Admirals are making the decision of whether they're going to be loyal to the Constitution or a drunken Secretary and his pedophile boss.

Me: I'm running late. Need to get to work.

My toddler: Daddy, can I have extra snuggles?

Me: Screw the bosses, I can be late.

On this #FirstDayofFall I must remind everyone of this controversial but true fact:

Apple Cider is the far superior autumn flavor profile when compared to Pumpkin Spice.

Fun Recipe Idea - Warm up your Apple Cider with a shot of Fireball Whiskey for a delicious adult drink.

Went to a concert before work.

I wasn't interested in the headliner as much as I was one of the openers.

Nothing says "Punk as fuck" like leaving a show early to go to work as a cop.

I still got it, though. 🤘

Ran into an old colleague of mine in the break room.

We said hi.

We sat next to each other and stared at our phones with football in the back room. No words were exchanged.

We said bye.

Great guy. I love hanging out with him.

"Children are dying." Lull nodded.

"That's a succinct summary of humankind, I'd say.

Who needs tomes and volumes of history?

Children are dying.

The injustices of the world hide in those three words." - Deadhouse Gates by Steven Erikson

Four years ago today, one of our smallest citizens, a 5 year old girl, was killed in a preventable traffic crash while riding her bike.

We have thought about her every day.

This morning, Penny and I stopped by to lay flowers and a stuffie

We miss you, Allison Hart.

If Bill Clinton is in Epstein Files and the Trump Administration still isn't releasing them, those files must be REALLY bad.

I've been a semi-professional poker player for 22 years now.

Last night, I hit my first Royal Flush.

It netted me about $1100.

I've been riding a high since then!

Last night was the kind of night that made me wish liquor stores opened earlier than 9 am.

I won't use alcohol to decompress, but damn if the thought hasn't crossed my mind 100 times since midnight.

In reality, it's because he's a true believer and thought the files would be released and exonerate Trump, and built his fan base on this belief.

And now he knows they aren't going to be released and that they don't exonerate Trump, so his whole life is a lie, and he doesn't know what to do.

Wait, wait, wait...

Deputy AG Todd Blanche is invited, but Deputy Director Dan Bongino isn't?

Either he isn't important enough to be invited, or he isn't important enough to be named by the press. Both are hilarious.
