Michael O'Day

I was willing to risk my life for this country. And if some draft-dodger thinks he’s going to intimidate me, or threaten me or my family, he’s got another thing coming.

Having worked in the meat industry for several years, it’s almost impossible to rebuild your reputation after a food borne illness kills people. Doesn’t help when the issues that caused the outbreak are systemic and repeated across other sites. We always feared listeria, rightly so.

Agreed.
Best livery from the Rolex 24 was the AMG GTR, 75 Express. STUNNINGLY OVER THE TOP!

Never ever seen this before.
Rolex 24 as usual didn't disappoint this year! 🏁🏁🏁

30+ years on both sides of the criminal justice system (full disclosure).

So, when a law enforcement officer chooses to discharge their weapon, surely resulting in death, & NO INVESTIGATION follows... we're in uncharted territory.

Like, the whole ballgame kinda territory.

Plan accordingly folks.

I wish Coach Tomlin all the best & thanks for the awesome 2 decades long ride!

Get a feeling that taking a break from coaching is in order & perhaps it's time for somebody to again bring the FUN back into NFL broadcasting.

Not aking for another John Madden but like to see him give it a shot!

Life... living every day in the One Battle After Another movie.

Hundreds clash with ICE outside Somali mall in St. Cloud People blocked federal agents’ vehicles in the parking lot outside several Somali-owned businesses.

"A man on a loudspeaker urged the crowd to 'let them leave.'

After more than an hour, the crowd parted and federal vehicles trickled from the lot.

As the last vehicle left, a few people banged on the hood before the driver sped away..."

Frey: "You cannot drag pregnant women through the snow. You're not allowed to take teenagers out of their car and detain them when they are in fact American citizens. That is against the law in every state. That is against our US Constitution."

American shot dead by Ice agent remembered for ‘formative years’ in Northern Ireland Renée Nicole Good took part in Christian youth missions to Northern Ireland as a teenager

"Renée touched a lot of people’s lives while she was here, and being here, her life was touched and impacted as well." 🙏☘️

Unimaginable to me that this would NOT be investigated then charged as a homicide.
And 10 years on the force makes one wonder what really was behind this?
Not a tough call.
And ultimately a jury's decision.

Opinion | To Trump, on Venezuela: You Break It, You Own It

www.nytimes.com/2026/01/03/o...

I used to think the 2024 election was about inflation.

When did I miss the memo it was about giving presidential authority to kidnap Maduro then confiscate $17T in Venezuelan oil reserves?

Must've missed that one.

Best description I've seen to date as to what it's like to now live in America:

One of the unacknowledged advantages of this awful era is that it's revealing for all to see the putrid connections between great wealth and great power.

The intentions of the oligarchs are fully exposed and more blatant than ever.

But remember: We outnumber the oligarchs.

The last five decades have been marked by an explosion in wealth inequality and a growing distrust of America’s institutions.

Many Americans believe that the system as a whole is rigged against them.

They're right.
