@easportsdfw Get better soon, Norm! We need good people like you around.

@TSA please recognize that ONE TSA agent working TSA Pre-Check this morning (25 March 2026, 0430) @JFKairport Terminal 8 ALL BY HIMSELF. A TSA TITAN. doing it with courtesy and a smile despite the actions of the supposed administration leaders you’re so avidly fawning over.

Before you speak to me about your religion, first show it to me in how you treat other people;

before you tell me how much you love your God, show me in how much you love all His children;

before you preach to me of your passion for your faith, teach me about it through your compassion for your neighbors.

In the end, I’m not as interested in what you have to tell or sell as I am in how you choose to live and give.

"My name's Raymond. I'm 73. I work the parking lot at St. Joseph's Hospital. Minimum wage, orange vest, a whistle I barely use. Most people don't even look at me. I'm just the old man waving cars into spaces.
But I see everything.

Like the black sedan that circled the lot every morning at 6 a.m. for three weeks. Young man driving, grandmother in the passenger seat. Chemotherapy, I figured. He'd drop her at the entrance, then spend 20 minutes hunting for parking, missing her appointments.

One morning, I stopped him. "What time tomorrow?"
"6:15," he said, confused.
"Space A-7 will be empty. I'll save it."
He blinked. "You... you can do that?"
"I can now," I said.

Next morning, I stood in A-7, holding my ground as cars circled angrily. When his sedan pulled up, I moved. He rolled down his window, speechless. "Why?"
"Because she needs you in there with her," I said. "Not out here stressing."
He cried. Right there in the parking lot.

Word spread quietly. A father with a sick baby asked if I could help. A woman visiting her dying husband. I started arriving at 5 a.m., notebook in hand, tracking who needed what. Saved spots became sacred. People stopped honking. They waited. Because they knew someone else was fighting something bigger than traffic.
But here's what changed everything, A businessman in a Mercedes screamed at me one morning. "I'm not sick! I need that spot for a meeting!"

"Then walk," I said calmly. "That space is for someone whose hands are shaking too hard to grip a steering wheel."

He sped off, furious. But a woman behind him got out of her car and hugged me. "My son has leukemia," she sobbed. "Thank you for seeing us."

The hospital tried to stop me. "Liability issues," they said. But then families started writing letters. Dozens. "Raymond made the worst days bearable." "He gave us one less thing to break over."

Last month, they made it official. "Reserved Parking for Families in Crisis." Ten spots, marked with blue signs. And they asked me to manage it.

But the best part? A man I'd helped two years ago, his mother survived, came back. He's a carpenter. Built a small wooden box, mounted it by the reserved spaces. Inside? Prayer cards, tissues, breath mints, and a note,

"Take what you need. You're not alone. -Raymond & Friends"
People leave things now. Granola bars. Phone chargers. Yesterday, someone left a hand-knitted blanket.
I'm 73. I direct traffic in a hospital parking lot. But I've learned this: Healing doesn't just happen in operating rooms. Sometimes it starts in a parking space. When someone says, "I see your crisis. Let me carry this one small piece."

So pay attention. At the grocery checkout, the coffee line, wherever you are. Someone's drowning in the little things while fighting the big ones.

Hold a door. Save a spot. Carry the weight no one else sees.
It's not glamorous. But it's everything."

Let this story reach more hearts....

President Trump is meeting with the President of Argentina instead of meeting with Congressional leaders to end the shutdown and prevent health care premiums from skyrocketing.

$20 billion for Argentina, but no $ for Americans' health care?

[B.Roll.Benny @brollbenny]

They aren't going to lower the flags in this country for the 3 police officers from my local PD who were gunned down by a 24 year old with an AR.

These dudes were actual heroes, since it seems like people have forgotten what actual heroism looks like

[Bernie Sanders @BernieSanders]

I don’t often agree with Ted Cruz, but he’s right about this.

The US government can’t force Jimmy Kimmel, or anyone else, off the air because they disagree with what he says.

Clearly, FCC Chair Carr hasn’t read the Constitution.

Kimmel should be reinstated. Carr should resign.

[Barack Obama @BarackObama]

After years of complaining about cancel culture, the current administration has taken it to a new and dangerous level by routinely threatening regulatory action against media companies unless they muzzle or fire reporters and commentators it doesn’t like. https://t.co/uts7JpJZzN

[Rep. Jason Crow @RepJasonCrow]

I went to war three times.

I served and put my life on the line to protect the free speech rights of my fellow Americans, some of whom I disagree with. That’s who we are as a country.

Trump is now trying to silence critics. That’s not what I fought for.

I won't remain silent.

[Ed Werder @WerderEdNFL]

The three Pennsylvania police officers who lost their lives and the two crucially injured in the shooting yesterday deserve to be foremost on our minds today. A true American tragedy.

Digital Realty’s Athens data center campus has been selected by AWS as the first-ever AWS Direct Connect location in Greece.

This milestone reinforces our role as a rising hub for data and connectivity across Southeastern Europe and globally: https://t.co/Nw61xadyV2

Joe Rogan calls out American bread

“Our bread is so f*cked — We're f*cking poisoned”

People are not gluten intolerant, they’re poison intolerant. Here’s the breakdown

“In America what we call bread can't even be considered food in parts of Europe. See, here in America, it's not so much the gluten as what we've done to the grain

- About 200 years ago, we started stripping the bran and germ or the fiber in nutrients to make flour shelf stable, also nutritionally dead
- Because the nutrients were gone, we enriched it with folic acid, which a large majority of the population can't even metabolize

Therefore many people experience fatigue, anxiety, hyperactivity and inflammation.

- But then the bread wasn't white enough, so they bleached it with chlorine gas
- The bread didn't rise enough, so they added a carcinogen called potassium bromate, which is banned in several countries like Europe, the UK and even China
- Then we wanted to ramp up production, so we started using glyphosate to dry out the wheat before harvest, causing endocrine disruption and damaging your gut

So now you're bloated, brain fogged, tired and blamed gluten. But gluten is just the scapegoat.

The real issue is ultra processed, chemically altered, bleached, bromated, fake vitamin filled wheat soaked in glyphosate. This isn't bread.”

When President Obama spoke at the 2014 West Point commencement ceremony he shook the hand of every single graduate after his speech. Today, Donald Trump gave a speech while wearing a MAGA hat and then left without shaking any hands

Good luck @EileenforCO

[Mike Leslie @MikeLeslieWFAA]

The entire Jets team waited for Mark Scheifele to finish shaking hands with Stars players before they left the ice, then they followed him up the tunnel to their dressing room.

All class and respect for a man who played through profound grief, after the passing of his father.

I don’t know how he managed to find the strength to play.

[Piers Morgan @piersmorgan]

I’m going to block anyone I see - and there’s already a lot of this vile crap flying around - mocking, celebrating, or playing partisan politics with Joe Biden’s health news. The man has served his country for 50yrs and is fighting for his life. Show some bloody respect.

What the heck is a Roku game and how can the rest of us see it? And why is everything so complicated to watch baseball in 2025?
