When the President of the United States has to clarify he wasn't calling for the destruction of two American cities, that's not a political strategy. That's lunacy. And Republicans signed up for it.

A MAGA just told me:
“I’m catholic, but I’d stand with Trump over the Pope.”
Then you are not catholic.

The lawyer brought out a file.
He explained that our father had visited him six months before his death and made an unusual request.
He had asked the lawyer to keep a record of the person who had consistently paid his medical bills during the final two years of his life.
My siblings exchanged glances.
Then the lawyer turned to me.
"Your father instructed me to give you this document."
It was a statement of account showing that, for two years, I had paid almost all his medical expenses from my salary.
I was confused.
"Sir, I already know I paid those bills."
The lawyer nodded.
"Your father knew you would say that. He asked me to tell you something else."
He handed me a sealed envelope.
Inside was a letter.
My father wrote that he had noticed how his children behaved whenever money was involved. He had watched them argue over his property while I quietly took care of him.
He explained that he had set aside money to reimburse the medical expenses I had paid on his behalf. It wasn't the exact same amount, it was much more than I spent.
The money was not a reward for being his favourite.
It was money he owed me.
My siblings went silent.
My elder brother finally muttered, "You should have told us you were spending so much."
I looked at him.
"I did. You said you had your own responsibilities."
Nobody answered.
I collected the documents and left.
I didn't get the biggest house. I didn't get the land. I didn't get the car.
But I recovered the money I had spent caring for my father, and I finally understood why he had kept records of everything.
Sometimes, the person who appears to have received the least is simply the person whose sacrifices nobody bothered to count.

Y’all acting like you’ve never seen an octogenarian drug addict POTUS let his alcoholic Fox-n-friends Sec Def livestream a wheelchair-bound paraplegic firing squad execution while cutting diesel deals w/Putin because he’s worked w/Russian mob for decades, esp w/Epstein, before?

It’s crazy how Pete Hegseth thinks that Americans won’t verify this information well I guess some won’t and will just believe his lies.

I’d rather vote for someone who gets the flu and recovers at home than a corrupt scum bag who uses my tax dollars to wine and dine his mistresses.

When your so-called friends keep deserting you and betraying you, and your own life and that of your country is under threat every day - Ive no idea how on earth this guy has been through it and keeps going through it. I’ll never admire any public figure more in my lifetime.

A mob gathered outside her dormitory window on her second night at university and threw a brick through it.
The university's response was to suspend HER — for her own safety and drive her off campus.
She was eighteen. Charlayne Hunter.
She and Hamilton Holmes desegregated the University of Georgia in January 1961 after a two-year legal fight.
On the night of the riot, students and townspeople surrounded Center Myers Hall chanting.
Bricks and bottles came through the window. The state police were slow.
At around two in the morning the dean told her she was suspended and she was driven back to Atlanta in a patrol car, past the crowd.
A federal judge ordered her reinstated within days and she returned. She graduated in 1963.
Then she went and had a career that makes the point better than any speech: a reporter at the New York Times, a correspondent on national television, a bureau chief in Johannesburg and then in Africa for CNN, covering the end of apartheid and the continent for thirty years.
She has an endowed professorship at the university that suspended her for having a brick thrown at her, and the building she was driven out of now has a plaque.
They told an eighteen-year-old that the mob outside her window was her problem.

My MAGA sister and her piece of shit husband…
Can’t seem to figure out why we’ve not shown up and family gatherings,
And why we’ve distanced ourselves from them.
History about her husband -
Claims to be a “Catholic”.
Has repeatedly verbally and physically abused my sister and their children.
Has a serious alcohol addiction.
Uses his religion and his MAGA ideology as justification for his actions.
Uses his religion and MAGA ideology to expect forgiveness.
Always demonizing the LGBTQ people,
Even though he knows my son is gay.
Always blaming Mexicans for his financial issues…
Always demonizing Muslims for all the problems in our country.
He’s the “In Your Face” MAGA Republican.
My sister constantly defends him and his actions.
Not to mention, their oldest son (23 years old)
Is a self proclaimed “Christian Nationalist” who thinks Hitler was a good person.
Yeah….
This isn’t a short term deal.
This isn’t about politics.
It’s simply about shitty people who we choose not to have anything to do with.
I don’t give a fuck if they’re family.

🇷🇺🤮 This man in Russian military camouflage is Dmitry Kurashov, accused of a horrific war crime — the execution of an unarmed Ukrainian prisoner of war.
According to the evidence presented against him, Kurashov fired three shots at a captured Ukrainian soldier who was defenseless and posed no threat.
When he pulled the trigger, he apparently believed he would never face consequences. He thought he could murder a prisoner and simply walk away.
Now he faces trial, and that confidence has vanished. The man who showed no mercy to an unarmed Ukrainian soldier must answer for his actions.
Let this be a warning to every Russian soldier who commits war crimes in Ukraine: uniforms will not protect you, orders will not excuse you, and time will not erase your crimes.
Justice may take time, but accountability must be inevitable.
Eternal glory and everlasting memory to Ukraine's fallen heroes. 🇺🇦
We will remember. We will demand justice. We will never forgive these crimes.

This is the only known picture from Epstein’s “wild” dinner with Peter Thiel, Elon Musk, Mark Zuckerberg, and Reid Hoffman.
Whatever you do, DO NOT SHARE IT!
They'd hate that.

When all this is over, @realDonaldTrump will be remembered as the greatest traitor to America in its history.
Children in school will learn of his treachery as a warning to future generations. People will spit on the ground when they hear his name. His works will be torn down, one and all.

In 1995, inside a small Massachusetts hospital, a pair of newborn premature twins fought the hardest battle of their tiny lives. Born far too early, Kyrie and Brielle weighed barely enough to fill a nurse’s hands. Both fragile… but one fading faster than anyone expected.
Kyrie, the stronger twin, slowly gained strength.
But Brielle — so tiny, so exhausted — was slipping away. Her breathing stuttered. Her oxygen levels dipped again and again. Her skin turned a worrying shade of blue. Doctors prepared the family for the unthinkable: she may not make it through the night.
And then came a moment of quiet courage.
A nurse named Gayle Kasparian, guided not by procedure but by pure human instinct, made a decision that defied the rules of the time. Back then, premature babies were always kept in separate incubators.
But she believed something else.
She believed that love — even the smallest kind — had power.
Gently, she lifted Kyrie and placed her beside her struggling sister in the same incubator. Two tiny hearts, side by side. Two tiny bodies, skin to skin, just like they had been in the womb.
What happened next brought the entire neonatal unit to tears.
Within minutes, Brielle’s monitors changed.
Her oxygen levels rose… higher… higher.
Her heartbeat steadied — strong and sure.
Her frantic breathing calmed.
Color returned to her cheeks.
And then, in a moment that seemed almost like a whisper from heaven, Kyrie lifted her tiny arm and wrapped it around Brielle… as if she was holding her sister here on earth.
The nurses stood frozen.
Doctors rushed in.
No one could explain it — but no one could deny it.
That single embrace didn’t just save Brielle’s life…
It changed medical care forever.
Because of these twins — because of one nurse who simply followed her heart — “co-bedding” premature babies is now used in hospitals around the world.
All because two sisters reminded us of something simple and profound:
Sometimes the greatest medicine
is love in its purest form.
