My buddy @VictorinoMatus and I are BACK with weekly @GetHammeredPod and guarantee a Christmas cocktail show before the year is out! Listen, like, subscribe and review! We appreciate youuuuu! podcasts.apple.com/us/podcas…

Kid was out picking up donuts with Dad, shields his sister from shrapnel from a plane crash in the parking lot, ends up in emergency brain surgery, wakes to ask if he saved his sister and is pumped to know he didn’t miss the Eagles in the Super Bowl. I couldn’t be happier for him

I shouldn’t cuss, but fuck you, we’re not doing this anymore.

In Michigan, a church deacon arrived late to Sun service, encountered a would-be mass shooter, had no weapon, but realized time was short, so hit shooter w his F-150, totaling his truck while being shot at. A local dealership gave him a new truck. Deacon’s name is Richard Pryor.

I spotted the tether.

An old man waving a cane and booing is a good rebranding for the Dems.

I’m starting to think some of this Hunter Biden stuff might not be Russian disinformation.

Bring back @DefiantLs, @Twitter.

Jesus has had an incredible college football and NFL season

I want to take a moment to recognize the bravery of the woman who, when told to “get out of my fucking shot” CALMLY FACT-CHECKS HER BOSS on EVs and is presumably still alive? She deserves better and I hope she found it.

Hi, female athlete here. I ran this exact trail every single week of my college career. I guess I could have been snuffed out before I graduated, had a career, family, and the professionals at the AP would lie about the suspect bc it fits a preferred narrative. Ibarra is not merely an “Athens resident,” and Laken Riley and every other student was put in danger by not enforcing laws and allowing a man arrested 3x after crossing the border to hang out and work on campus. He had to escalate to alleged murder to be held and/or risk deportation. Good policies. Good work. This story even cites the 2018 murder of Mollie Tibbetts in IA as a reason solo female runners should be worried, *also without noting her killer was an illegal immigrant.* Just stop lying! Here’s the local news station doing actual journalism on this. wsbtv.com/news/local/clarke-…

No one has done more damage to public schools in my lifetime than the teachers unions who held those kids’ education ransom for two years. She led them and she’s the villain.

Losing someone suddenly and having to do it the public eye is not a thing a lot of people have to do, but I have done it. I was pregnant with a 2-yr-old at home. I spoke twice in 5 days after my husband died and was back on TV within a month. One, I had to work. Two, the story I told helped create the framework for the rest of my life bc I committed to my vision for my little family in public. It also inspired people to support and pray for me and helped other people facing crisis, too, I’ve learned in the intervening 10 yrs. Grief is a strange journey and sometimes feeling capable and strong means doing things you’re good at, and @MrsErikaKirk is very good at this. She is carrying on Charlie’s vision, as she is so well-positioned to understand it. Feeling capable and strong will help her be a mom in her darkest moments to her children, who are no doubt (as mine were) surrounded by love and help right now. She is going through something very big and she is doing it with a fierce faith that is carrying her. She is not weird. She is exceptional.

Catching a Liberal White Lady tweeting in 2020 that she took a day off to fully absorb a v. important book about reparations, and making her admit under oath she probably didn't read it after all is an all-timer of Liberal White Lady moments.

You are currently in office

My kids asking me what’s for dinner. “I come from a middle-class family”

The cool thing is real socialism has never been tried before and we can all be excited for the chance to finally see it in action.

Widows are allowed to smile. This is me surrounded by my hometown friends and brothers at Jake’s funeral. This is me two months later at a party after giving birth to a healthy baby girl.

It’s almost as if Harris is the kind of politician who might be so bad at this she’d have to drop out of a primary before a vote was cast in Iowa.

It went down 51-49, girl. Math!

I watched @MrsErikaKirk’s speech last night with my two oldest girls, who were 2 yrs old and 7 mos in utero when my husband died 10 years ago this week. It was the first time I think they’ve really thought about what my life must have been like in that time, which is as it should be. I didn’t want to burden them with it too soon and they’re just getting to a time when we can talk about it more. Funny how the Lord works, huh? They declared “Wow, she’s awesome,” and I agreed. It’s always hard to watch someone start her own journey on this path, but I’ve met and prayed with so many young widows over these 10 years, and it’s clear Charlie chose well, God is at her side, and her kiddos will be so blessed. May her example bless many more women who must do the job under crushing circumstances.

Call me crazy, but I don’t think “whaaat will I doo without my exploited underclaaahhhsss to pick my smooothie berriiieees,” with maximal vocal fry, is the enlightened argument she imagines it is.

People who said goodbye to their dying grandmas with a poster from the street, and couldn't have a funeral or attend church, would like a word about distress.

I think my favorite absurdity of the Joe Rogan dust-up thus far is Harry and Meghan, who have been paid roughly $1 million per minute of podcast they've produced for Spotify, harrumphing that the company "meet the moment" lest they take the 35 mins of work elsewhere.

I’m gonna put Andrew Cuomo’s book on responsible COVID responses on my shelf right next to Carole Baskin’s book on marital conflict resolution.

Well, well, well.

It's not happening It's happening but it's not a big deal <-- you are here

He was found not guilty because there was copious evidence, much of it video, of him being not guilty of the charges brought. The state did not make its case, in rather spectacular fashion. A lot of this site is misinformed or willfully ignorant of this.

Your institutions failed you at every level. Now, let them disarm you and protect you.

Just beautiful. Jesus is about to win American Idol on top of everything.

Why do I like this ad so much. This is a very different campaign than he’s ever run before.

The horror of the Charlotte murder is somehow compounded by watching everyone on the train ignore her crying and bleeding to death. Monstrous in so many ways.

We were never going to stay at home as a society until there is a vaccine. That’s unreasonable and irresponsible policy and a violation of the flatten-the-curve bargain most Americans happily made. It also has ruinous public health consequences of its own.

Oh neat, an unelected person married to the mostly incapacitated elected president is overseeing the first Cabinet meeting in forever. Does anyone have any questions about this?

As everyone knows, when you have lost someone close to you, unless your face is contorted in pain at every moment and your soul finds not one second of palpable though sadness-tinged relief for 5-7 years, you are acting. GTFOH with policing the widow’s face. People are insane.

These absolute psychopaths are tone-policing a widow who watched her husband be murdered three days ago, who gave a stunning tribute to him with dignity these people can’t muster in the face of an anxiety diagnosis for their cats, and they’ll tell you they’re the good guys.

SHUT YER MOUTH. 💍😍😂

A woman did not commit this crime

I’m gonna have to spend some time contemplating the possibility that this was not a completely organic event featuring a former president taking a side gig at a Pennsylvania McDonald’s while he’s running for president.

Gentle parenting people confused by your white-people meetings.

"I really don't know what he said at the end of that sentence and I don't think he did, either" is probably the moment.

It’s been 4 yrs since a very bad day for me. It is yesterday & a millennium ago. I have 2 beautiful, funny kids, & we’re all happy. Thank you to all the friends & strangers who donated to help us, prayed for us & continue to, & just put in time for my kids or had a drink w me. 🙌🏻

This has everything. The condescension, the cutesy casual verbiage, the credentialism in service of made up stuff, the credibility destroyed. Keep it up, I guess.

As a widow who specialized in raising two young kids, it takes a ferocity and faith you can hope you’ll never have to understand. Also, no one should talk to a bereavement psychologist who is unfamiliar with anger in the face of death, particularly murder.

I lost track of a toddler briefly in a grocery store parking lot today, which is the absolute worst place to do that. I was yelling at the other kids to look for her, peeking around the car on both sides, frantic. It was very stressful… until I realized I was carrying her.

There’s plenty more to say on this issue, but I can’t get over that ✨Simone Biles✨ thought she’d jump into this debate by bodyshaming a woman for… having lots of muscles?

A woman did not commit this crime

Bodega worker is at Rikers bc he defended himself instead of taking his beating.

Mark my words, this will turn into a story about graceless, pouncing Republicans being unwilling to turn down the temperature by simply accepting apologies from Democrats who want to shoot their colleagues.

We’re married now, y’all. 😂💪🏻😍 ift.tt/2xknD0E

Cheers to you, America! The greatest, coolest, loudest, most ingenious, prosperous, resourceful, tough, fun, air-conditioned country that ever was. God bless all those who have given all to make it happen. 🇺🇸

Since everyone’s gonna pile on the widow for not taking a phone call bc we live in stupid times: She should do exactly as she wants, and she knows best how to navigate her new and newly horrific situation. I declined an invitation to the White House four days after my husband died bc I didn’t think I had the strength to go through security and stand on my feet, and frankly, I thought it might make my very public experience even more weirdly public and politicized. A friend went in my stead. I’m trained for public, political exposure and still had no idea how exactly to navigate it while my life was falling apart. She has no obligation to public officials, even though it is nice for them to reach out. She is in a place almost none of you will ever be, and you should thank God for it. If you are not of her political tribe, you can extend to her half the grace you extend to Joe Biden over the loss of his wife many years ago or the loss of his son 9 years ago. She’s two days in. She deserves and needs support and prayers, not judgment. As for Trump, he was literally shot, so he’s also deserving of a moment. His finance person set up a large GoFundMe and he has said he will attend the funeral of Corey Comperatore, although that is another decision for the widow to make. Because people have different desires about how they want to mourn and honor their loved ones and when it’s public and political like this, it becomes even harder to make those decisions. God bless you, Helen. I’m praying for you and I’m sorry that you have to do this.

When a woman watches her husband murdered and it not she who has a public breakdown, but much weaker men who resent her public display of strength. Mind-blowingly pathetic for the clicks.

Must be wild to be a NYT reader/NPR listener and just learn YESTERDAY that everyone lied to you on purpose about the lab leak theory and Collins and Fauci were helping. NYT reader: "Am I a racist conspiracy theorist now?" NYT: "No, we decided truth isn't racist anymore."

The president was non-functional and didn’t know what he was signing, and I’m trying to figure out what is a larger scandal than this vacant presidency by committee that went on for years

Welcome to the world, Holly Jane! 💜Weekend plans: wonder if this is labor, realize it is DEFINITELY labor, get to birth center just in time, have baby, go home, watch football, Praise the Lord! instagram.com/p/CVd5WN6M1E2/…

Now that you mention it, I have felt a little more raw than normal after watching someone doing my job shot to death in front of his friends and family for saying words

I say this without value judgment on the actual work these organizations do, but if you are running a charity/ministry that cannot survive for three weeks without government funding, you’re being irresponsible.

He didn’t say it. Yeah, he said it, but it’s not a big deal. His brain doesn’t work. He said it & it’s good he said it because it’s good to call garbage people what they are—garbage. He said it, it was just truth, and people pouncing are the problem, and also misinformation.

Don’t overthink it. The places schools are closed, it’s bc a teacher union doesn’t want them open & allied political leadership won’t buck them. It’s not science or misplaced community priorities. Some fight to open, serve their customers, a lot of public schools do the opposite.

Dark MAGA Carmen Sandiego

I am being misinformationed.

“I can easily kill you with my military, dumb-dumb citizens,” is not a good talking point to refute the need for self-defense.

Fun fact: I grew up in one of the most notoriously gerrymandered districts in U.S. history— North Carolina’s 12th CD, baby!

Guys, I don’t think she’s gonna get better at this

Every revelation is basically, “we do things in incredibly effed up ways and this has revealed the incredible effed uppedness of our ways that no private entity could ever withstand, but we can with your money, and the real problem is you have noticed our sacred effed up ways.”

Seen some tweets attacking Douglas students for *smiling,* as if it’s proof of ulterior motives. They are not expected to look sad every second of every day to pass some grief test. They’re still living, & grief & laughter are sometimes next door neighbors.

This whole interview is making me rethink. Hunter is so measured and mature, there's no way he's the kind of guy who would leave his laptop at a repair shop in 2019.

I am against heckling at a SOTU, but so help me God, if there are more consequences for a Gold Star father for yelling at a President who has neglected to mention 13 Marines murdered during Afghanistan withdrawal than there are for any person who botched that withdrawal…

I relate to AOC. Literally every criticism of me boils down to people being disappointed they can’t have sex with me. It is indeed a burden, but one we must bear.

My Lord, it’s remarkable. This is after 20 years of public speaking experience.

She was very bad at her job. 🤷🏻‍♀️

If I were the President running for reelection, I would simply stop being *secretly* inexhaustible and sharp as a tack and do it in public at speeches and campaign events.

My husband and I in the East Wing. He tried to save it. I can’t believe it’s gone.

As a public figure, I’ve had to deal with a stocker. He came to my house and I was gonna call police until he started putting my canned goods in those cool pyramids, and I thought “hey, this is kind of a nice perk of having a stocker.”

If he fixes the gas cans, he's gonna be President forever

It’s really worth listening to all of this. I believe he will never stop fighting for his daughter. I wish he didn’t have to. Just awful.

Is there a thing that exists that could more directly refute this claim than “started a snitch line for people to report their neighbor’s gatherings and church groups to the government for Covid restriction violations,” bc that’s what he did.

He was for “suppressing the views of people he didn’t like” by … funding events where he would hand them microphones?

That eulogy was a victory for Christ, a victory over stereotypes of Christian and conservative women, a word for anyone listening who wants to have a good marriage, a word for men seeking purpose, an example of forgiveness, and a victory for her kids to see their Mama soar.

So the plywood is a… design choice?

Ooooh, this is bad

Biden dropped out and endorsed Harris on July 21 and her first interview was with Dana Bash on Aug 29. That’s not a narrative. That’s reality. Y’all have got to stop pissing on people’s legs and telling them it’s raining.

Just gonna post this again to say these are not very hard questions. This reaction is wild. She presumably would be governor to the 40% of Californian voters she can't even fathom answering a question about. It's astonishing the weaknesses a career in a bubble give you.

Journalism should help people understand what happened. A woman did not commit this crime. Nor was he simply a young man. He was a trans-identifying biological male with a host of apparent mental illnesses. This doesn’t have to be the most important fact about him, but it’s a very important fact and leaving it out or eliding it by calling him her is anti-journalism.

Who will speak for the hot people, whose plight has been too long ignored in this country? AOC and I will!

The uncertainty was caused by it being unconstitutional in the first place.

It is an unalloyed public good that people are showing up in droves to these events and asserting they are unafraid to do so in the face of the murder of the leader of this group for doing exactly this.

Oh are we not doing build your own platform anymore

Off to a country with a … national 14-wk limit on abortion, which was just changed from 12 wks in February.

This seems almost like intentional sabotage. No one wants a minimalist Cracker Barrel. We want Hoarders: Southern Grandma Edition. If it don’t look like Meemaw and Peepaw’s, with the only concession to modernity is removing ashtrays, I’m out.

My toddlers after a 5-min walk without snack and a sippy cup.

The “slur” was the word boy. 🤦🏻‍♀️ This is an 85/15 issue, they are on the wrong side of 85% of Americans on this, there is one person on the panel talking about it, and he’s berated in this unhinged way for saying what everyone except this sliver of people knows.

“Now that I have honorably limited my government service to just 51 years, I think the proper limit for a position that is supposed to be lifetime should be 18 years. Rules start NOW!”

I don’t have a particular Pedro Pascal issue, per se, but why did we stop putting Henry Cavill in all the things and putting Pascal in?

TWO BILLION. Think of every small charity doing good work in your community that has to scrape for cash. Think of every small business in your community that is arguing for a loan. Think of every family in your community doing their taxes right now, for this.

Mayor of Athens, Ga. in the wake of the first murder at UGA in 30 yrs. Listed threats: Trump, Charlottesville, possible vitriol from American citizens to illegal immigrants. Not listed: Crime, murderers, his duty to citizens. He is the Norm joke. A blinkered, insane response.

The fact you don’t happen to like an outcome does not make the process that brought it about illegitimate when the process was in fact perfectly legitimate. A woman you don’t happen to like is not unqualified bc of your feels when in fact she is very qualified.

Charlie died doing something I greatly admire. He debated anyone in civil, energetic form. It was fun and enlightening even when I disagreed (that’s the point!). It was what college should be and has failed to be for a long time, which is why they needed Charlie to import it to campuses. We now know too well, that came with great risk. Many young people will mourn his too-early death, and if the aim of the murderer was to end his ideology, the effect will instead be to solidify its following. And if that means more young people agree with his embrace of this raucous American form of debate and refuse to be silenced, good. Beyond mere political ideology, I know he loved Jesus, his country, his wife, and his kids. Lord be with Erika and the children, and let that part of Charlie’s life be a model for other young people, too. Rest in peace.

Guys, you can just disagree with him

Just, what? What are you doing, man?
