I'm a retired UPS guy of 43 years, and before that I was in the USAF. I'm a husband, father, and grandfather. I'm also a lifelong Christian conservative who stands with MAGA, MAHA, and the American way. I study the Bible. It is God's word, period. I believe in the supremacy of the United States Constitution as the founders laid it out.

I post original takes and some articles, and algorithm analysis. I post a lot of veteran stories to give them the attention they deserve. They deserve far more than that, but that's all I can do on X.

I love finely crafted beer by local brewers. You might say I'm a beer snob, but I won't judge you if you simply like the factory beers. It's all good, it's beer.

Patriots are always welcome on my page, whether as mutuals, commentary, or both. I block bots and burner accounts, both foreign and domestic, who try to follow me or attack me on my page. Everybody else I judge by the feed. If your feed is suspicious or you post from the left, you get kicked to the curb. If you never post, then I'm probably not going to follow back. If you're a reply-only account, you're welcome to follow, but I probably won't follow back. The only reason to follow an account is to see their posts. If you never post, there is no need.

If you're here for real talk and the occasional fired-up run-on about our love for this country, pull up a chair. If you like to talk the algorithm and what makes X tick, then we can have a conversation. I like to talk about my genealogy research of my family and using Grok Bot to get that done.

Absolutely no DMs without permission. All others get deleted. Put a link in the DM and you're blocked. No crypto. No coins. No "opportunities." Don't ask.

I also need my coffee in the morning, so don't be surprised if I start the day grumpy. Though I'm mostly peaceful.

I'm putting more about my experience in the first reply if you're curious. If not, that's fine, have a nice day.

I got the grok bot reset today but my normal reset is tomorrow morning. So I have my ancestry research bots working on a 24 hour plan to uses as much of this extra usage as possible before the normal reset in the morning. Use it or lose it. We're getting way ahead tonight. 😂

X updated the code behind its algorithm tonight. Likes, reposts, replies and quotes still count the same.

Here's what did change in plain English. Brand-new accounts now need a little engagement before X keeps showing their posts. X also added a new way to pull posts for your feed and a few more pieces for the video carousel, but those are NOT LIVE YET. They're still switched off in the visible code.

Reposts count a little more than a like, but far less than a reply or quote. Replies and quotes carry equal weight.
