A while ago I read a piece in the NYT that denigrated my home. It posited that the hillbillies of Tennessee will soon have their voices silenced by an influx of coastals migrating to Nashville.
This is a kind of op-Ed I wrote, and a history of my home.

The average American today lives better than John D. Rockefeller did in 1926. That is not an exaggeration. It is a fact.
Rockefeller could not fly across the country in five hours. You can for $200. He could not video call his family from another continent. You do it for free. He had no antibiotics, no MRI, no air conditioning in July. He could not carry every book ever written in his pocket. You are reading this on a device that does all of that and more.
Americans throw away 30-40% of their food. Not because they are wasteful, but because food is so abundant that waste is affordable. Your car has climate control, navigation, and safety systems that did not exist at any price a century ago. Your home has heating, cooling, refrigeration, and entertainment that emperors could not have imagined.
None of this was voted into existence. None of it was redistributed from the rich. It was created by free minds operating in what remains of a free market. Every comfort you enjoy today is the product of a man who thought, invented, produced, and traded voluntarily.
This is what the remnants of capitalism still deliver, even while it is being dismantled. Imagine what a fully free society could build.

Ole Miss, I know we feel some type of way. And rightfully so. Theres alot of speculation, but most of us were not in the room while things were being discussed. Need to remember this man has kids, and putting things out about his personal character just isn't it. Ultimately we're mad because he didn't make the decision we wanted him to make for him, his family and his future. Who are we to make that determination. Let's move on, control what we can control, and finish this historic season out.
Thank you Lane Kiffin @Lane_Kiffin

Lane Kiffin isn’t the enemy here. The calendar in College Football is. It’s an absolute joke. Fix this crap NCAA. Playoffs, National Signing Day, Transfer Portal, all within the same month time frame. Just straight stupid!
Social media distills real life into a soap opera - like a WWE match with a hero and a villain.
90% of you would step over your neighbors corpse for a shot at $12m a year. Lane is in a tough spot. He has every right to ply his trade somewhere other than Oxford next year.
Three living Tennessee quarterbacks have won in The Swamp: Bobby Scott, Casey Clausen and Joey Aguilar

NEW: Urban Meyer on Nico Iamaleava's departure:
“Tennessee is screwed. They got a problem.
...Everybody’s saying, ‘Nice job Tennessee, making a stand.’ I’ve got a little comment on that. Tennessee plays Florida usually every year in October.
Can you imagine that game’s going the other way and coach Heupel grabs the microphone and stands on the 50-yard line in Neyland Stadium and says, ‘It’s OK, I made a stand way back when.'”

Cupcake week sucks. SEC programs have no business playing teams like Samford, Eastern Illinois, Charlotte, Mercer and Kentucky in November.
We’ve been involved in many military engagements since WWII for a multitude of reasons: domino theory, humanitarian obligation, cheap oil etc.
Destroying the narco terrorists pumping fentanyl into our country is the most justified military action we’ve taken in 80 years.
Palantir, $PLTR, CEO: “If fentanyl was killing 60,000 Yale grads instead of 60,000 working class people, we’d be dropping a nuclear bomb on whoever was sending it from South America."

Glad to have conservative leaders from across Tennessee on @TeamMarshaTN. We appreciate you and all you do for our state, @GlennJacobsTN!
It holds true!
It's not a Reagan Day without a straw poll and @VoteMarsha winning. Great to be in Obion County this evening with #TeamMarsha.

Sen. Ted Cruz, Texas Republican, is urging conservatives to confront squarely rising antisemitism on the right by naming names - including that of Tucker Carlson. trib.al/xqFj6iV
Why would anyone give this moron oxygen
Nick Fuentes, “it was December 18th I remember because that’s an important date to me.”
Tucker Carlson: “Why?”
Nick: “It’s Joseph Stalin’s birthday. I’m a fan.”
Tucker: “You’re a fan of Stalin?”
Nick: “Mhmm (with an evil little smile).”
No follow up questions. No outrage. Nothing to see here.
All part of the plan.

This one isn't like UGA or Bama losses, where you made plenty of mistakes, but still arguably lost to (marginally) better/more talented teams.
Tonight didn't feel like that in the least. Flat out wasted opportunity in an incredible college football environment.
LSU has three titles this century, two of them with moron head coaches. It’s the best job in the country. Tennessee has been abysmal for most of this century. There is 0 comparison
Brian Kelly was fired at LSU with a record of 34-14
Josh Heupel over the same timeframe is 36-11
I think Heupel has done an amazing job turning this program around, but the expectations from the fanbase need to dramatically increase. We have the second largest budget behind Texas. It’s time to demand being elite and stop settling for 9-10 wins.

Thanks, Andrew.
I’ve spoken with the President of UT. The student advisory group voted to deny but that has ZERO to do with approval.
*Turning Point will be approved for the UTC campus.
TP has a huge presence at UTK and we hope for the same success in Chattanooga.
Reach out to me directly if you have additional questions or run in to any further obstacles.
Thankful for you and TP team.
The University of Tennessee at Chattanooga has denied Turning Point USA’s RSO (Registered Student Organization) request following a vote by the Student Government Association.
This decision effectively blocks our students from gaining official recognition on campus. As a result, the students will be forced to restart the process, reapplying and once again facing the same SGA that has already demonstrated clear bias against them.
Tennessee, are these the values of your state? Your tax dollars are propping this garbage up.
