Ask yourself a simple question. When did common sense become controversial? I build things, flip houses, serve in the Air Force Reserve, and I'm a husband and dad who loves Jesus. I post what I think about where this country is headed, plain and honest. If that sounds like you, stick around.

How does a 19 year old end up paying $7,000 for a looksmaxxing camp and wanting $40,000 to change his face? Young men will follow somebody. If dads, coaches and pastors don't give them something better to chase, a guy selling insecurity will. Character outlasts a jawline.
A 19-year-old man spent $7,000 to attend Clavicular’s 7 day “Camp Looksmax” without telling his parents. His parents panicked after discovering he was missing, and he now wants a $40,000 facial surgery. (Via: NY Post)

Old house or new build? From flipping houses: plenty of 1950s homes have better bones than new builds that cost twice as much. Plaster walls, solid wood doors, hardwood under the carpet. New builds win on wiring, insulation and windows. Same money, which one do you buy?

In the military you run tabletop exercises to plan for something you think could actually happen. So simple question. If a group invites foreign "transition" veterans to advise on a US election, what exactly are they preparing for?
🚨🚨THE DEMOCRACY FILES, PART 3: AMERICA GETS THE FOREIGN-INTERVENTION TREATMENT 🚨 At what point does this become foreign interference of our elections? To back up: the main group that Danielle Reiff and the other ex-USAID workers belongs to, Renew To Thrive (R2T) / Renew American Democracy (RAD) have an explicit strategy document. That strategy outlines "preparing for the worst" which includes the Insurrection Act or "election meltdown," and their goal is to get "structural reform" in place by that - a polite way of saying our Constitutional Republic has to be overhauled. In July 2026, R2T/RAD invited foreign state actors to share experience with the American community, for the express purpose of operationalizing their expertise right here in the United States. All actors had experience in international community assisted transitions (I'll let you figure out what that is a code word for). The disturbing part, though, is that all of the foreign actors' recommendations were implemented right here in America. You may have seen news headlines like: - Restore trust in processes - Increased election security, increased legal presence at polls - Democratic officials hold tabletop exercises - Judges prepare for post-election challenges To be clear, this video doesn't prove that this meeting specifically caused this cascade of escalations. But what it shows is that the democracy-promotion playbook the U.S. spent decades exporting, with situation rooms, observers at every polling place, prebunking and litigation paired with street mobilization, is now being run on America's own election. The same people are running it, and they're taking advice from the foreign actors the U.S. once backed. Now when you look at officials talking about independent watchdogs or tabletop exercises... know that it's because they are now treating the United States midterms exactly the same as they'd treat elections in a third world country. And I think more than a small part of them are hoping that it does become a self-fulfilling prophecy as it has in so many of those countries. (For context, my book Unelected documents that so-called "election meltdowns" are precursors to transitions of power via color revolution.)

$14.6 billion in one quarter, up 161% from a year ago, and the first Starship flight that actually got paid. Plenty of people said this would never pencil out. Building things is hard. Building things everyone says won't work is harder. Well done.
Congrats SpaceX team!

When an inspector shows up on a job, you don't start a fundraiser. You pull the permits and show your work. No charges have been filed and she says she did nothing wrong. Fine. Then why ask for donations instead of just putting the paperwork out?
🚨Ilhan Omar just broke her silence BEGGING for money on TikTok after being raided by DHS amid multiple federal investigations She accused Trump of trying to “intimidate” her before the elections and is asking for donations to “fight back”. This investigation was started by Biden and the search warrant was signed by a Democrat judge who donates to Democrats. It isn’t political. She knows it and she’s panicking.

"For which one of you, when he wants to build a tower, does not first sit down and calculate the cost, to see if he has enough to complete it?" Luke 14:28 (NASB2020) He meant following Him, not budgets. He just used the failure everyone's seen: a slab with nothing on it.

It’s not about affordability
France has FREE health care, paid parental leave, paid family leave, FREE child care, FREE preschool, 5 weeks paid vacation, a 35 hour work week, generous unemployment and housing benefits, and heavily subsidized higher education. Everything the left says they want AND THEY'RE STILL PROTESTING AND BURNING SHIT DOWN.

Garage gym beats a gym membership and it's not close. No waiting on the bench, no mirror selfies, nobody cares how loud the music is. Only catch is nobody's there to spot you either. Garage gym or real gym?

Ask yourself why a country needs a £100 fine to get people to use headphones. Manners used to do that job for free. Every rule like this is a receipt for a courtesy people quit practicing. A people who won't govern themselves will always find someone happy to do it for them.
The UK introduces fines of up to £100 for playing loud music or videos on buses without headphones

Pat Monahan and his 14 year old son Rock took on the national anthem before Monday Night Football, with Rock playing heavy metal guitar. The internet has opinions. Classic straight version, or room for some personal style? Where do you land?

On a job site you never let the contractor sign off on his own inspection. Per the indictment, the company paid on enrollment also controlled attendance checks and financial aid. Enrollment went from about 8,500 to over 60,000. Who was checking?
BREAKING: Michael Perik, the husband of Rhode Island Democratic Party chair Liz Beretta-Perik, was just indicted on fraud charges for allegedly stealing $20 million of taxpayer money meant for a community college

Planet Fitness sells itself as a Judgment Free Zone. Then it judged a guy's jacket for backing ICE. Simple question. Since when is supporting the people who enforce federal law "sensitive"? Wear what you want, lift heavy, and let members do their judging with their wallets.
American is at Planet Fitness in Wisconsin wearing a jacket in support of ICE 🚨 The Planet Fitness makes him REMOVE the jacket because they say defending your country is “sensitive” (They actually say this on camera) “Supporting ICE — protecting your country is sensitive?” “Yes” “I was wearing an ICE jacket inside of Planet Fitness, and he's telling me I can't do that.” America has completely lost the plot. So every other country on earth is allowed to have immigration enforcement but America… Remember Planet Fitness also defends trans men in women’s restrooms Cancel your Planet Fitness membership

"Fathers, do not provoke your children to anger, but bring them up in the discipline and instruction of the Lord." Ephesians 6:4 (NASB2020) Roman fathers had near total legal power over their kids. Paul still put a limit on dad. Discipline, yes. Just don't be why they're angry.

You can brew beer and make wine at home. Distill whiskey at home and you face up to 5 years in federal prison. Why? A tax worry from 1868. The Civil War ended. The ban didn't. Government rarely hands a freedom back on its own. Someone has to drag it to the Supreme Court.
The U.S. Supreme Court has agreed to review an 1868 law which bans Americans from distilling alcohol in private homes. (apnews.com/article/supreme-c…)

Must watch
🚨🚨THE DEMOCRACY FILES, PART 1: THE PLAN 🚨 I am working on gathering all the documents. Now, here's something to understand about the "democracy" and protest ecosystem: almost nobody knows the 'grand plan' so to speak. They simply agree to play a role. For example, 99% of people breaking stuff on the streets believe they're doing it out of an organic uprising. They don't see that the police have been ordered to stand down. They don't see that legal services have already been arranged for them. They don't see that foundations are paying for their bonds. Similarly here, governors aren't participating in a pact to destroy the Constitution. Governors simply have agreed to push back on the Insurrection Act. The effect is the same: the governors end up playing a role in a grander plan. I call this "shared epistemology" in my book Unelected. Motivations differ, people rarely agree to the big evil supervillain framing, but incentives all converge in the same end goal. No Kings might not agree to explicitly tear down the Constitution, but they nonetheless work with DSA and will turn out millions of people if the right phone call is put in. Here is one articulation of the plan - and crucially, since then, they have put many NGOs in their places to execute their proper role at all levels when the time is right. Many more coming.

245 years ago today, Cornwallis surrendered at Yorktown. Six years of cold, hunger and missed pay, and Washington's men kept showing up. Anyone who has served knows the fight usually goes to the side that refuses to quit. Who's your favorite figure from the Revolution?

"Rare" is an argument for checking, not for looking away. Most buildings never fall down, and nobody skips the inspection. You check because it matters when it does happen. One illegal vote cancels out a citizen's legal one. Check the rolls. Prosecute the cases.
🚨 WOW! 60 Minutes just tried telling Americans to IGNORE noncitizen voting because it's "rare," and AAG Harmeet Dhillon took NONE of that BS HOST: It could sow distrust! 🤡 DHILLON: The point is actually the OPPOSITE of what you're saying. It's not to sow distrust. The distrust is THERE! All of these kinds of crimes are being prosecuted now for the first time in VOLUME. 👏🏻👏🏻 We can't keep letting the fake news talk down to us like we should be OK US citizens' votes get canceled out... The DOJ sued California for allegedly mailing ballots to more than 20,000 likely noncitizens in the 2026 elections. And 30 states are refusing to turn over their full voter rolls, so the DOJ sued every one of them! If it's so "rare," why are they fighting this hard to keep anyone from checking?!

Ask yourself what a kid learns from owning one share. That they own a piece of something real. That it grows when people build things. That they can go get more. A handout teaches a kid to wait for the next one. Ownership teaches a kid to go earn it. As a dad, I love this.
Next year, I will give one of my SpaceX shares to every kid in America. This will be the first of many.
