Thanks, brother! We did! I was thinking, as we played, just how blessed we are to be able to do this in our country, without dealing with a country ravaged by war like Ukraine or the folks stuck inside Gaza. ๐โค๏ธ๐

Iโm not as big into golf as I used to be, but Jacob loves it, so we got some in today. So blessed by this young man. (Not pictured, the awesome woman who makes us both better โ she was sweaty and demanded pics of her be scrubbed. ๐คฃ๐คฃ)

It would be one thing if they were fighting crime, and I would be okay with that if they had called me up to deploy for that, but if you had me mulching leaves in DC on a big football Saturday, Iโm not sure Iโd be real happy about that โ being away from my family and all. ๐คท๐ปโโ๏ธ

Iโm not an attorney, but Iโm fairly familiar with media law. (Mainly because for the past twenty years Iโve tried to stay on the right side of it.) And frankly, this seems like a pretty solid lawsuit to me. Iโd settle this in a hurry. www.cnbc.com/2025/08/29/k...

I havenโt really read one of his threads in a while, but I just read this one, and I am reminded that absolutely no one I personally know talks like this. And if I had a friend who did, Iโd be a little worried about them. But even more so, if he actually believes this polling stuff, just yikes.๐ฑ๐คฏ

This is a great question. My answer was to launch a podcast three years ago that focuses on unity and trying to bridge the gap. Itโs certainly not going viral in growth, but itโs also growing at a steady clip. Most people are more sane and less radical than social media tricks us into believing

It is just tough to stop progress. I am an old print guy myself, but I recently picked up a newspaper, and I just did not enjoy it the way I used to. We have become addicted to our devices in their ability to share information and look up facts. ๐คฆ๐ปโโ๏ธ๐คท๐ปโโ๏ธ I would say they are making the right move.

Thank you for your voice, Charlie. Iโm speaking out, as well โ and went on my longest rant to date in this weeks podcast โ but we need more urgency and volume. I have learned much from you through the years, and youโve been a comfort and voice of reason in tumultuous times. Thank you for that.
Stan R. Mitchell (@stanrmitchell.com)
Thanks for the comment, Jab! I ALWAYS appreciate your input, as I try to keep it between the lines in these complex and tribal times. We need stronger unity, more civility, and a stouter Congress that remembers they have a job to do (and donโt actually work for the President).
