The USDOT and FAA don’t know drones are saving lives and aiding rescue efforts by flying insulin to inaccessible regions, locating trapped and isolated individuals, and providing imagery to the world.

@FAADroneZone
False. Watch for manned aircraft and yield as always but drone operations EXPAND the capabilities of operations on the ground. ESPECIALLY this disaster. Stay absent like you have been on every disaster since this administration appointed you, Pete. You’re an abject failure.
@ted_macie
I thought your original post was one of the boldest and most courageous reports I’ve ever listened to. This one is an exemplary act of moral courage. The shame of this scenario is that our nation needs men like you and Brad Miller in leadership positions. Men of sterling

According to ChatGPT, that qualified as the largest live political audience in history. It credited Obama's inauguration with 38 million + unknown streaming viewers. If this event's numbers were between 60-70 million, it just dwarfed any known political broadcast.

There's no such thing as an unauthorized low-attitude high-speed pass over an airport- especially one in DC. Never trust headlines written in Comic Sans font.

This backwards thinking sets the drone industry back 20 years. That’s how out of touch this guy is. It is abundantly clear to everyone that this admin has no clue what’s going on in these hard hit areas. Drones are a a non-negotiable asset to the folks on the ground there.

Nothing shocked me about those who called for internment camps for the unvaxxed, the mask zealots, or the incessant pressure to conform to unprecedented government mandates. What shocked me was the medical community who discarded their hard earned degrees and slavishly bent the

I saw the foreshadowing of this when they started the myocarditis in children ads. The ads didn't run very long and I believe they realized people were connecting the dots rapidly.
Let me tell you something about Jon Worthington. He is likely the best friend you could hope to make on this platform. He’s a guy who gets the struggle that X is for small accounts (like mine) to achieve the reach that makes the time you devote to this platform feel worthwhile.
@MargoinWNC
Mark and I are about the same age. We both grew up in Greensboro. He likely had a more meager upbringing than me but we were poor too. I don’t know him personally but I know the things he is saying aren’t radical or dangerous- it’s how men talk. And for what it’s worth, “nude

White socks, Birkenstock sandals, clip-on man bun, graphic t-shirt with snarky dig at conservatism, pants are probably optional. Don't let your drink leave your sight. Oh, and arrive early. Seating is probably capped at 25 attendees. Good luck, we’re all counting on you.
@RTMannJr
There's exactly zero correlation between captain underpants and the former president’s assassination attempt. Beyond pathetic of you to try to make a comparison.
@FAADroneZone
This has got to be the singlemost tone deaf, unaware, and ignorant post this office has ever issued. The FAA has shamed itself in front of the world by insinuating this is a concern. What’s concerning is, there IS NO federal response for them to interfere with. They’re saving

Why should every Christian watch this? Is it your point that the pre-tribulation rapture is false? Because it isn’t. Every Christian should know that.

You did the right thing. You need a different surgeon—one who can see the positive outcome, not the one who can only see the negatives. The world is full of people like him—they are the 59mph in the fast lane kind of people. They exist for us to blow their doors off.

Dear brother, I never met you before now. Your words are strong and filled with grace. May we all strive to have the strength to praise God in the fullness of his grace as our lives ebb and flow. I pray that you either regain your strength and flourish with the help of dialysis

Twenty years ago I had to leave my life behind and board a bus that took me to a plane that flew me and my unit to Iraq. I spent all of 2004 there in combat. In addition to seeing the scriptures opened, I had to learn to “die every day”. I did the same thing you did. I wrote a

@dontwantadothis
I'm sorry for your loss and also sad to hear that your friend group added injury to your grief. What an awful combination. Its important to remember that bringing a plate of food over is a key that opens the door to the fellowship we all need when grieving. Wishing you well.
@CynicalPublius
Mere participation is all that matters in their camp. Doesn't matter if you charged the hill or slipped home before sunrise. All they care about is that you wear their color. And as we’re finding out through disclosure, that color is a urine-soaked pair of skivvies.

They were introduced 20 years ago. I joined the Army with values that were handed down to me by the Greatest Generation, my grandfather, specifically. God's values. The kind America was founded upon. They served me well.

He’s none of those things. He left Americans dead in Afghanistan. We’ll never forget. The veteran community will not forgive you. History will remember you but not for any of the things you’ve written here. You should withdraw this libelous love letter immediately.

I was the battalion safety officer in Iraq and we had a young soldier that we sent home for the same reasons. The boss wasn’t happy about it and was afraid it would result in copycats. Fortunately, the opposite was true. Our warriors favored the unknown trials of war over the

Sad to see. Rodanthe is a small town on the Outer Banks. For those who think this home was built recently, that’s probably not the case. Rodanthe is slowly succumbing to the sea despite the continuous efforts of earthmoving equipment to counter this. The new, modern bridge

I just got off the phone with my Senator's office. I passed along the intel I have pushed for Title X authorization to get the military assets in, and asked his office to squash the turning away of private citizens (esp those with helicopters). They're aware and working to help.
@CynicalPublius
1. I got the Liberace reference
2. Great observation. Well worth the time you put into ferreting the answer out.
3. The only thing that has ever fixed it is extreme hardship. I don't wish for that. It just tends to be differentiator between powerful and impotent generations.
@MargoinWNC
I was on a flight out of Greensboro and was seated across the aisle from Mark and his wife. They were kind and respectful to the flight attendants and appeared to be loving with each other. I knew who he was but I didn’t pester him. He’s genuine and will be a great gov for NC!

Arlington is the solemn reminder we all need of why we did what we did—the personal sacrifices, time away, failed relationships, deployments, battles, and wounds—all minuscule contributions on our part towards the security of national ideals that some gave their all for.

Except that when he made those movements in his twenties people thought he was on drugs and now doing the same moves in his eighties, people assume he forgot to take them.
@clbolt
Beautifully written. All true. It speaks to a larger problem: this church model is broken. This corporation-based expository presentation model where one person is hired to feed men a fish each week is a broken business model. That’s not to say it’s worthless or hopeless. Broken.
Okay, one more story about Jon Worthington. He’s gonna kill me for telling this one. Way back in first grade, Jon was sent to the principal, accused of cheating on his “US Presidents Quiz”. The principal told Jon, “we know you cheated, just confess and we’ll go easy with the

One would think that his one job would be to prove to every citizen in America that no one could run the country better than himself. “Beat Trump” is a pathetic read of what matters most to us.
Something I like to do on X. See a hot topic post that compels you to comment? Scan the replies and give credit to someone who said the same thing you were thinking. This is a great way to pick up quality followers and acknowledge folks who posted a great reply.

US “high trust” in physicians in 2020 pre-pandemic was 71% and that has declined to 40% as of January of 2020. I would venture to guess that number is now approaching half of the 2020 statistic. That’s an implosion of trust.
We're in a war for this nation. That's not hyperbole; it's a fact. We've been in it for so long now that we're becoming accustomed to it.
I hope to encourage you by saying that battles are won day by day, but wars sometimes span generations. Knowing if we're winning can be
DON’T ECONOMIZE HOPE
A humble request to my fellow patriots. We’ve been taught all our lives not to get our hopes up. That’s a poor mindset. I’m telling you to let your hopes soar! I have lived this through war and am speaking to you from personal experience. Trying to conserve

Initially, they had no clue. They're phoning it in. Now, I'm sure they know, and they need to be held accountable for their actions.

If the world has taught us anything over the last four years it's the fact that the field of medicine is merely a trade school for drones. Not an ounce of intellectual curiosity in those hospitals. TikTok dances. Self-labeled heroes. This same snarky know-it-allness. But hey,

Lots of expletives for sure. I have heard an instance of what you’re referring to but I can’t remember the specific accident. Sometimes it’s “I told you so” as in “I told you we couldn’t make this landing” or “I told you we would run out of fuel” but the thing that probably gets

It’s time to stop using hyphenated American labels. If you want unity in this country, start by identifying yourself as an American.
Not, “SomeOtherCountry-American.”

If the closing operatic “Nessum Dorma” at this weeks RNC was indeed a message to the deep state, I think it’s safe to assume they got the message and are in full fight or flight mode. Watch end scene of The Sum of All Fears for reference.

You lack the capacity to know what sick is. You’re voting for a Marxist regime. The same that wrote the comments they accused Mark of writing. You’re voting for the party of Diddy, pedophilia, and murderous abortion- so spare me your condemnation. You’re the depraved one, Who dat
Libs are so disingenuous. Media outlets are touting the “huge turnout for Harris”. This is intellectual property appropriation. They slapped Harris’ name on a scheduled concert tour stop and took all the credit. Libs steal everything they touch.
The directors of the Superman, Man of Steel movie had some decent military advisors. I saw this movie in the theater and to my complete surprise, they used the code words “Fallen Angel, Fallen Angel, Guardian is down”

Its comments like John’s here that I most regret you have to endure. You’re handling it profoundly well but I hope you’re not internalizing any of it. The truth is, the most dangerous man to the whole of humanity is the one who will blindly follow orders without ever questioning
I’ve said this before but it bears repeating. Dr. Martin Luther King Jr’s comment of judging others on the content of their character and not the color of their skin has a revelatory element to it. Leftists can’t see character. They see only the facade and believe it completely.
TRUMP/ELON CONVO
Elon is sincere, kind, and loose. Trump credited God and said he's become a stronger believer since the Butler rally. I will post additional commentary to this post as a thread.
