In 2007, when Chuck Norris visited Marines in Western Iraq, he demanded to get away from large bases and instead visit the small FOBs and COPs. MNF-W said it would be too dangerous, but Norris insisted and in the end, got his way. I'm forever grateful for the example he set, and this awesome choke hold.

This is actually a teachable moment regarding the use of active and passive voice: Active voice is the clearer option, used to assign blame. Passive voice is for when you want to obscure blame. Here we have active voice used to obscure blame.

Best and worst job I ever had. Happy 251st Birthday Marines

I feel seen

As I told @KatiePavlich last night regarding threats of impeachment: If we learned anything from the Kavanaugh hearings it’s not to give in to these idiots. Massie has done nothing for 14 years and now wants to spend his final two months attacking a Republican.

Does the @nytimes know that Tolkien fought at the Batttle of the Somme in WWI where the British took 57,000 casualties in the first 24 hours? At the end of the offensive over 1 million men were killed, wounded, or missing. Seems like this article is inaccurate 🧐

Saint Benedict of Nursia is widely considered the man who preserved Western Civilization after the fall of Rome. Today may be a great day to look to the example of one of Europe’s greatest Saints. After the political collapse of Rome, Benedict began founding monasteries across Italy laying the social and spiritual groundwork for medieval Christendom. As Roman government and infrastructure were wiped away by anarchy and barbarism, Benedictine monasteries became safe havens that copied, stored, and protected sacred texts, classical literature, and ancient wisdom. When the outlook was dire and civilization seemed to be failing, he focused on God and built redoubts of Western thought around a simple saying, “Ora et labora” (prayer and work). Benedictine monks began teaching everything from agriculture to architecture and brewing across Europe. Through the years, the Benedictine Order produced over 57,000 known saints and 35 popes, of whom 17 are Saints or Blesseds. Saint Benedict of Nursia, pray for us today and always.

This woman, effectively arguing that only rich people should have children, runs an organization called “Abortion Every Day”

One of the best parts about being a father of a young girl is their almost supernatural ability to make you laugh and smile. A five minute phone call can brighten your whole day.

Welcome to the best season of the year. College Football Saturdays NFL Sundays MLB Playoffs (w/ Red Sox and NYY) NHL opening week What an incredible country and awesome time to be alive. 🇺🇸🦅🇺🇸

Great NHL season intro by @espn Immediately took me back to my son’s first practices, years tying his skates, and helping him get ready. Now he does it all on his own and out skates me with ease. BUT we still have years of watching the NHL together.

Less than one year into having a Democrat governor. The surplus is gone. Virginia is $1.7 Billion in the red.

What an odd post

Only 18% of American films and scripted TV series are shot in Los Angeles. Paramount Pictures is the ONLY major studio that maintains its main studio in Hollywood. This is the self-inflicted, final destruction of Hollywood… spearheaded by CA’s radical AG.

When I was young, I had a nagging fear that I would marry into a family that runs 5ks together….. How did this happen?

This week held good news for the admin’s Iran strategy: - Oil flows through the SoH are 2/3 pre-war levels - Overland flows are increasing rapidly - Most Iranian mines are decoys and duds All this suggests that maintaining the current posture and op-tempo is a smart bet.
