So I’m a little late to the party and finally saw Oppenheimer. It’s a fantastic film, but since y’all know I love science/war history, of course I have thoughts… 1) It was unequivocally the right choice to drop the bomb, an act that saved millions and ended a brutal war…if you don’t believe me, spend a little time listening to Dan Carlin’s “Supernova in the East” series on WWII Japan...

There’s a reason the NYT makes cracks about Republicans like @JuanCiscomani, @yestoyesli @JasonMiyaresVA, and @RepHerrell, and it has nothing to do with their defense of the American dream… nytimes.com/2022/08/21/us/… Imagine if a center-right outlet ran this headline about Democrats. There would be justifiable outrage. Why aren’t we seeing that now?

And we’re back for our 3rd and final day of #TheHonorProject 2021! I’ll be tweeting photos of the graves I visit in this thread today...please DM me if you have a loved one you would like visited in Arlington Cemetery and it would be my honor to visit them for you 🇺🇸#MemorialDay This is my friend @AmberSmithUSA’s friend CW4 Michael Slebodnik. He was killed in Afghanistan flying a OH-58 Kiowa helicopter on September 11, 2008. From what I’ve read and heard he was an absolute badass and incredible mentor.

Day 1 of #TheHonorProject was cold, rainy, and incredible. I’m so grateful to the volunteers who came out today...please follow the hashtag as we share the names of the fallen this weekend 🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸 I’ll be visiting and sharing the photos of the graves y’all send requests for here on Monday, but in the meantime I’d like to share a little more background on an Airman whose grave has become one I visit every time I’m in Arlington Cemetery..

Ok, so between all the pieces on our failed education system (depressing), an unfinished debate with a friend (annoying), and bc I told @MZHemingway I would, here’s the tweet thread with my recent thoughts on passing on what we believe to our kids... ..we often hear a viewpoint that Jefferson held on government. That each generation should reshape/reinterpret laws to fit a new lens, and that what we fight for today could just as likely be forgotten tomorrow as our kids make their own choices about what matters most to them..

Does anyone have buddies buried in Arlington who they would like visited today? Since only family members are allowed in, I would be honored to pay respects on your behalf... @JoshuaFiveson 🇺🇸♥️
