Some gigs die quietly. A postponed meeting here, a slow email thread there. And then one day, you realize you’re no longer waiting for a callback—you’re celebrating its absence. Last week I lost a gig I should’ve walked away from earlier. The scope was loose, the expectations tighter than the budget, and the smell of burnout was already baked in before kickoff. Losing it wasn’t a failure. It was a course correction.In tech—and really in life—there’s a myth that saying “no” is a luxury. But truth is, walking away from bad-fit work is how you stay sharp, sane, and available for the right kind of projects. I didn’t just dodge a bullet—I reclaimed bandwidth for the people and products that actually matter. And if you’ve been stuck in a contract that’s draining more than it pays, maybe this is your permission slip to step back and say: “Not today, Satan. Not this sprint.”
Fatherhood is a strange kind of mission—equal parts sacred duty and improv comedy. No manual, no rehearsal, and just when you think you’ve got a handle on things, life throws you a curveball. But you show up anyway. You patch the drywall, you teach the hard lessons, you grill the burgers, and sometimes—if you’re lucky—you get to watch your kid turn into someone who actually gets it. Father’s Day isn’t about getting credit. It’s about pausing for a second, looking around, and realizing that all those ordinary moments—those late-night talks, shared jokes, and even the discipline that stung—were the actual legacy.
This day lands differently for all of us. Some of us are fathers. Some of us miss ours. Some are still healing, and some are finally understanding the man we once couldn’t. For me, it’s a reminder that time moves fast, and being present is more than just being in the room—it’s being in the moment. If you’ve still got your old man, give him a call. If you are the old man, make the time count. And if you're walking the road solo, remember—real fatherhood isn’t about perfection. It’s about presence, principle, and doing your damned best to leave your kids stronger than you found them.
Today marks the 250th birthday of the United States Army — a moment that gives me pause and fills me with deep respect. Since June 14, 1775, the Army has stood as a steadfast guardian of American liberty, forged even before we declared independence. It began with farmers and blacksmiths who stood shoulder to shoulder with one purpose: to defend the idea that free people could govern themselves. Two and a half centuries later, that same spirit lives on in every soldier who wears the uniform — men and women who raise their right hand and swear an oath to protect and defend the Constitution, not a king or a party, but a set of principles.
We owe them more than thanks — we owe them remembrance. From the muddy trenches of the Revolutionary War to the global complexities of the 21st century, the Army has been there, often in the worst of times, doing the hardest jobs. As a patriotic American, I believe it's important not just to celebrate milestones like this, but to reflect on what they mean. The strength of our Army is not just in its firepower — it’s in its people, its values, and its enduring commitment to freedom. Happy 250th birthday, U.S. Army. May we remain worthy of the sacrifice.
Not just proof there was fraud... but evidence that it was known, and allowed, by law enforcement and others.
Then Job answered the Lord:
“I am unworthy—how can I reply to you?
I put my hand over my mouth.
I spoke once, but I have no answer—
twice, but I will say no more.”
After Job's tirade against God, and His rebuke, Job finally realizes that he needs to shut up and learn.
It is my hope, that every day, I remember that I need to stop and listen to my Near, Loving, Heavenly Father, when all I have is a rant for the Distant, Apathetic, Master of the Universe.
Listen to Him: He knows your troubles better than anyone, and knows what your need, better than yourself. Listen to Him, and follow His words. You can hear Him, if you quiet your rage, anger and frustration. He wants good things for you, and will guide you to them. Just as with any child, you can hear your Father's calming voice, and wisdom, once you get past your childish tantrums.

Beth Pensky, a 54-year-old single mother from New Jersey who now lives in Florida, never tells anyone that she’s estranged from her only son and daughter.
“I lie all the time,” said Pensky, who told The Post her kids have rejected her because they’re “woke” and she is not. “I can’t tell anyone I don’t have a relationship with them. I had so much shame about it. It looks awful for me and makes me feel terrible so I lie.”
But her attitude changed when she — and a number of other mothers — read a Post story in November about Annabella Rockwell, a graduate of Mt. Holyoke College who claimed she’d been “totally indoctrinated” into hard-left ideologies at the school and had to be deprogrammed.
Election Watch (EW), a Wisconsin election integrity watchdog organization, has discovered that more than 150,000 votes cast in the 2020 presidential election cannot be connected with a valid address.
EW computer analyst Peter Bernegger said the group’s study of Wisconsin’s voter rolls found 45,000 such occurrences involving people who were living out of state in the Nov. 3 ballot, with another 107,000 documented instances on the part of voters who moved to another address within the state and cast a ballot in a different jurisdiction from the one in which they actually reside.

A little-known lawsuit filed by a Utah man could rehash the ongoing controversy surrounding the 2020 presidential election, which he and many other Americans insist was marred by irregularities that undermine its legitimacy.
The lawsuit, Brunson v. Adams, was quietly added to the docket of the U.S. Supreme Court in late October and has since been scheduled for a hearing on Jan. 6 — fittingly, the two-year anniversary of the day that supporters of then-President Donald Trump protested the election results in Washington.
“The Bahamas and the United States have a shared interest in holding accountable all individuals associated with FTX who may have betrayed the public trust and broken the law,” the prime minister said. “While the United States is pursuing criminal charges against SBF individually, The Bahamas will continue its own regulatory and criminal investigations into the collapse of FTX, with the continued cooperation of its law enforcement and regulatory partners in the United States and elsewhere.”
