I'm a retired UPS guy of 43 years, and before that I was in the USAF. I'm a husband, father, and grandfather. I'm also a lifelong Christian conservative who stands with MAGA, MAHA, and the American way. I study the Bible. It is God's word, period. I believe in the supremacy of the United States Constitution as the founders laid it out. I post original takes and some articles, and algorithm analysis. I post a lot of veteran stories to give them the attention they deserve. They deserve far more than that, but that's all I can do on X. I love finely crafted beer by local brewers. You might say I'm a beer snob, but I won't judge you if you simply like the factory beers. It's all good, it's beer. Patriots are always welcome on my page, whether as mutuals, commentary, or both. I block bots and burner accounts, both foreign and domestic, who try to follow me or attack me on my page. Everybody else I judge by the feed. If your feed is suspicious or you post from the left, you get kicked to the curb. If you never post, then I'm probably not going to follow back. If you're a reply-only account, you're welcome to follow, but I probably won't follow back. The only reason to follow an account is to see their posts. If you never post, there is no need. If you're here for real talk and the occasional fired-up run-on about our love for this country, pull up a chair. If you like to talk the algorithm and what makes X tick, then we can have a conversation. I like to talk about my genealogy research of my family and using Grok Bot to get that done. Absolutely no DMs without permission. All others get deleted. Put a link in the DM and you're blocked. No crypto. No coins. No "opportunities." Don't ask. I also need my coffee in the morning, so don't be surprised if I start the day grumpy. Though I'm mostly peaceful. I'm putting more about my experience in the first reply if you're curious. If not, that's fine, have a nice day.

Detective Collin Savoie of Fort Walton Beach, himself an Army veteran, stood just feet from a man holding a rifle and talked him down. The man was an Army veteran in crisis too. Savoie reached him by voice, then by phone, and they connected over their shared service. The man set his weapons down and surrendered peacefully. Nobody was hurt. That's one vet taking care of another. The Fort Walton Beach Police Department is awarding Savoie its own Medal of Valor and a Life Saving Award on Nov. 17. If you or a veteran you know is struggling, call 988. getthecoast.com/video-fort-w…

Ten days before the election, the Justice Department is asking California to make sure only citizens vote. NBC News reports DOJ sent letters Friday to 57 of California's 58 counties asking election officials to help identify noncitizens on voter lists and give an answer within 48 hours. San Bernardino County alone got a list of 1,133 names DOJ calls "likely aliens." For anyone whose citizenship can't be confirmed, the ask is to set their mail ballots aside, not cancel them. First Assistant U.S. Attorney Bilal Essayli says any election official who knowingly processes a noncitizen's ballot is "opening themselves to legal jeopardy." Sen. Alex Padilla says DOJ has provided no evidence. If the list is wrong, show it. If it's right, why would anyone fight checking it? Only citizens should vote, period. It's time to put the pressure on them and not let up. nbcnews.com/politics/2026-el…
