More Satisfying Than Being Number One

Original Article

There was a moment this week—brief, unassuming, and barely covered in the blaring swirl of press microphones and boom cameras—when one of the most dominant athletes in the world offered a sermon disguised as a shrug. Scottie Scheffler, the current World No. 1 in golf, sat before a packed room of reporters ahead of the 153rd Open Championship in Northern Ireland. As expected, the questions were incessant: what does it mean to be No. 1, what drives him to win, how does he stay so mentally sharp? Sports journalists, trained to extract sound bites, wanted a narrative. Scheffler gave them something far more meaningful. “There’s a theme,” he said early on.

WOW!! I'm even more impressed with Scottie Scheffler!!

Family before golf: Scottie Scheffler's priorities are in perfect order. My greatest hero in golf, Jack Nicklaus, has always been the same way as Scottie, completely devoted to his family. It's why our respect for them is so great. Being a devoted husband and father never seems to hurt one's career. In fact, that devotion probably helps one's career.

Ugh! I don't know anything about this man, but I HOPE this article missed it by a mile. It seems to imply that Scheffler believes: "it’s not about what you accomplish but who you become in the eyes of your wife, your children, and your God." and then it goes on to say about this man: "He’s aiming at faithfulness in things that outlast it all." As noble sounding as those goals appear to be, I hope they aren't what inspires Scheffler--or anyone else reading this. After all, what happens if in spite of all you do, your children rebel or your marriage goes to hell in a hand basket? What if, in the end, you're NOT the roaring success in life that you thought you were going to be? Those are lousy goals--for Scheffler or anyone to have--because he (and you) can't control a large part of the equation that makes him (or you) "successful." The bottom line is that any time you get your identity from accomplishments, sooner or later you WILL be severely disappointed. No, what should motivate us, including this man, is that God loves for us. And He doesn't love us any more when we're successful, nor does He love us any less when we're a failure.

I became a fan after Scottie was arrested, falsely last year. This is a beautiful tribute to a wonderful human being. Thanks for posting.

Trump Derangement Syndrome found a resurgence with “UNEARTHED” video of the future president judging models, drowning out coverage of a predecessor’s alleged “treason.” Likely surprising no one, corporate media had yet to have its fill of demonizing President Donald Trump. Despite the chief executive calling for the release of grand jury transcripts to advance transparency regarding the late sex offender Jeffrey Epstein, MeidasTouch dredged up decades-old footage of the then-businessman at a modeling competition with “participants as young as 14-years-old.” A clip from the Elite Modeling 1991 Look of the Year contest,

House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries is facing an ethics complaint for “improperly inserting himself” in a proceeding. The New York Democrat was accused of “clear corruption” after he called on federal district judges to remove acting U.S. Attorney Alina Habba from her position. Habba, a former legal spokesperson for the Trump campaign, has been serving as the acting U.S. attorney for the District of New Jersey and is still awaiting Senate confirmation. Habba charged Rep. LaMonica McIver, D-N.J., with obstructing Homeland Security agents after the lawmaker allegedly assaulted law enforcement officers outside of an immigration detention facility in Newark back in May. McIver has pleaded not guilty

A twice-deported illegal alien, convicted of killing 19-year-olds Anna Varfolomeeva and Nicholay Osokin in the sanctuary state of California, has been taken into federal custody after serving just three and a half years in prison for vehicular manslaughter. Varfolomeeva and Osokin, who were dating, were killed in November 2021 in Orange County, California, by Oscar Eduardo Ortega-Anguiano who was drunk, high, and driving 100 mph on the 205 freeway at the time. The teens were burned alive in the crash. The following year, Ortega-Anguiano was convicted on two counts of vehicular manslaughter while drunk and sentenced to just 10 years in prison for killing Varfolomeeva and Osokin.

California Gov. Gavin Newsom (D) issued a demand Monday for the “immediate withdrawal” of all soldiers from Los Angeles, after the Pentagon announced that the U.S. Marines would be pulling out of the city. In a statement, Newsom said: The women and men of the California National Guard deserve more than to continue serving as puppets in Trump and Stephen Miller’s performative political theater. There was never a need for the military to deploy against civilians in Los Angeles. The damage is done, however. We, again, call upon them to do the right thing and end the militarization once and for all.

In the famous words of Ed O’Neill from Wayne’s World 2, “people need to be entertained.” Unfortunately, today’s late night comics didn’t embrace this motto and broke hard left in favor of partisan politics, with one of the worst offenders being Stephen Colbert. If Colbert had simply stuck to the formula followed by the late great Johnny Carson of “Tonight Show” fame, it might have saved him. The simple trick was as follows: Don’t get political. Carson was the master. Beloved by all. Republicans, Democrats, and independents alike tuned in with gratitude. Because he had only one goal in mind: To make us laugh.

WASHINGTON — Former Transportation Secretary Pete Buttigieg failed to replace outdated air traffic control systems while in office — with his agency instead shelling out tens of billions of dollars on a DEI agenda, according to federal spending records and airline industry insiders. In one meeting, Buttigieg — who is said to be eyeing a 2028 presidential run — told industry executives that air traffic control upgrades would just allow them to fly more planes, “and so why would that be in his interest?” sources said.

There is cringe, and then there is the DIGNITY Act. It’s one of those stupid bills whose authors turn its title into a stupid acronym, but this latest amnesty proposal doesn’t make an acronym out of “DIGNITY”; fittingly, it makes it out of the Spanish word “DIGNIDAD” (Dignity) and stands for “Dignity for Immigrants while Guarding our Nation to Ignite and Deliver the American Dream.” We should ignite it all right, and deliver it to be used as a suppository, not just because of that idiocy, but because there’s so much more to hate. Basically, it’s a free ride for illegal aliens in exchange for enforcement that will never happen

A former NPR CEO made a shocking admission about Congress voting to cut federal funding for the news outlet and other public media organizations. During an interview on MSNBC, Vivian Schiller suggested that NPR will survive without federal funding and that leaders should work together to adapt to the new development. “The fact is, this is done, the money is gone, the rescission has happened so my perspective now is let's move on,” she said. “Look in many cases, I have long believed that mixing journalism and federal funding is just a recipe for disaster, so in many ways I think this is an opportunity for a reset.”

Director of National Intelligence Tulsi Gabbard just lit a fuse under the deep state—and it’s about time. Appearing Sunday on “Sunday Morning Futures” with Maria Bartiromo, Gabbard dropped a stunning accusation: that Barack Obama personally directed a “treasonous conspiracy” to undermine Donald Trump’s presidency before it even began. And now, according to Gabbard, the floodgates are opening—whistleblowers who were sickened by what they witnessed are starting to come forward.

Now that President Trump's National Intelligence Director, Tulsi Gabbard, is exposing the depths of the Democrat deep state's disinformation operation against President Trump as a Russian agent as he entered office in 2021, it's worth noting that the operation had a lot of casualties on the way -- people who were smeared, often in the press at the explicit direction of the Obama White House -- one of whom was Gabbard herself. Anyone recall how Hillary Clinton attempted to smear Gabbard herself as a "favorite of the Russians" and a "Russian asset"?

Two impeachments didn’t do it. A phony Russian hoax didn’t do it. A dubious election loss didn’t do it. Relentlessly negative coverage didn’t do it. Civil and criminal judgments and massive fines didn’t do it. Two assassination attempts didn’t do it. Maybe Jeffrey Epstein’s ghost will finally bring Donald Trump down. That seems to be the hope, anyway. Epstein, who hobnobbed with the rich and famous, had been under investigation since 2005 for sex trafficking and pedophilia, and died in prison six years ago, has been responsible for conspiracy theories for years.

Host Shannon Bream said, “You mentioned Ghislaine Maxwell. She’s still got an appeal. I’m tracking at the Supreme Court, but in the meantime, you suggest she should be potentially offered congressional immunity to go and testify. Do you think that would happen?

Hunter Biden really walked smack into it when he “crashed out” during a YouTube interview with Andrew Callaghan that was released today. Now, when you look at the data, Hunter is of course completely wrong: statistically, whites commit the fewest crimes…by far. And, if you were to remove all the blacks and Hispanics included in those “white” crime statistics, that number no doubt falls drastically. However, in one sense, Hunter is right on the money: White men are significantly more likely to commit a crime…if you’re a white man like a Biden. If you’re a “white man” with the last name Biden,
