God bless Southerners.
This pic was taken at the Iron Bowl last night, and I woke up today with some strong feelings about what I’ve experienced in the South.
First, I’m a NY kid, born and raised, but I’ve spent most of my adult life far south of NY. Between Georgia, Maryland, Florida and Alabama, we’ve been around. And I’ve really grown attached to Southerners, and here’s why (note: I obviously haven’t met every person from the South, this is MY EXPERIENCE):
-God matters. Their faith is central to their lives, and they’re proud of it. Nothing comes before God. Nothing.
-Manners and structure matter. They’re not vestigial structures from a bygone era. They’re links to the past, and bridges to the future that instill order and discipline in a chaotic world.
-They’re proud, but not arrogant. I once offered to buy a friend of a friend a pair of new boots because his were beat up, and he flatly refused to take the offer. I saw it in his eyes and I instantly regretted it. I knew I had misjudged the situation, and although my intentions were pure, I was angry at myself for not reading the room better.
-They absolutely love college football. But the love is pure, not contaminated. I sat with 80,000 plus people in Auburn watching a game that had zero chance of the home team producing a championship. I watched them scream, I watched them hug their wives and kids with a joy I’ve never seen before as each insane play of an amazing game unfolded. I also watched them cry at an ending they didn’t expect. And, despite the ending, I watched them treat the Roll Tide fans with absolute respect on the way out. No fights. No evil. Just a pure, innocent, love of the game.
I often joke on my podcast and radio show how I’d like you all (y’all?) to adopt me, but I’m happy just being an observer. To the people I have met down South, thank you for so deeply enriching my life. And to those I haven’t, God bless y’all. 🇺🇸

All Air Traffic Controllers must get back to work, NOW!!! Anyone who doesn’t will be substantially “docked.” For those Air Traffic Controllers who who were GREAT PATRIOTS, and didn’t take ANY TIME OFF for the “Democrat Shutdown Hoax,” I will be recommending a BONUS of $10,000 per person for distinguished service to our Country. For those that did nothing but complain, and took time off, even though everyone knew they would be paid, IN FULL, shortly into the future, I am NOT HAPPY WITH YOU. You didn’t step up to help the U.S.A. against the FAKE DEMOCRAT ATTACK that was only meant to hurt our Country. You will have a negative mark, at least in my mind, against your record. If you want to leave service in the near future, please do not hesitate to do so, with NO payment or severance of any kind!
Yes, Yes, and Yes!!
Government data shows that India accounts for 71% of all H-1B approvals, with China receiving 11.7%.
“We want to make sure that they’re protecting the American worker, first by – one: posting the jobs available to Americans.
“Two: if they do need to use the H-1B Visa Program, within the program, we have to make sure that they’re paying those fair wages, not to depress the American wages.
“And if that employee leaves that company, they have to make sure that they’re posting that with the government so that we know where those employers have gone and those employees.

General Flynn recalls a time where a roadside bomb in Afghanistan exploded into a million pieces yet his team immediately traced it and took out the bomber using fingerprints alone. He says there’s no excuse the January 6th pipebomber hasn’t been caught, and it could be done just as quickly with proper, thorough forensics. "There is so much in terms of detailed forensics that still must be done." "In Afghanistan, a vehicle was blown up by. a roadside bomb. Millions of pieces. We did detailed forensics of the device. We would find latent fingerprints. We were able to indentify the creator of that bomb. We went after that individual and killed them on the battlefield." "We can solve this very quickly. Look at the perimeter, look at the phone, look at the folks parked around there. None of us should be asking these questions, they should already be answered.”
