“I delivered a pepperoni pizza to a house last night. Total was $18.50. An elderly man opened the door. He moved slow. The house was dark. "My wife used to handle the money," he apologized, fumbling with a jar of coins. "She passed last week. I just... I didn't know how to cook." He poured the coins onto the porch table. Pennies, nickels, dimes. "Is it enough?" he asked, voice shaking. "I can look for more." It was maybe $6 in change. I looked at him. I looked at the cold, dark house. "Actually, sir," I said. "It's your lucky day. We have a special for seniors tonight. It's on the house." I pushed the coins back toward him. "Really?" his eyes watered. "Really. And hey, I get off shift in 30 minutes. Do you mind if I come back and eat a slice with you? I hate eating alone." He smiled. A real smile. "I'd like that, son. I'll leave the light on." We sat on his porch and talked about his wife for two hours. The pizza was cold. But the company was warm. I paid for the pizza out of my tips. Best $18.50 I ever lost.”

Small acts of kindness can change a life or many lives.

"My husband thinks I'm wasting my time.

Every Wednesday morning, I drive to Riverside Nursing Home. Not to visit anyone. I don't know a soul there. I go to sit in the lobby and knit. Been doing it for three years now. I'm 67, retired teacher, got nothing but time.

The staff thought I was confused at first. "Ma'am, who are you here to see?"
"Nobody," I said. "Just sitting."
They let me stay. I think they felt sorry for me.

But I noticed something. Residents would shuffle past, some in wheelchairs, most alone. They'd see me knitting and slow down. Stop. Watch.
One woman, Agnes, finally asked. "What are you making?"
"Scarf. For nobody in particular."
"That's a waste," she said.
"Probably," I agreed. "Want to help?"
She looked startled. Like I'd offered her the moon. "I haven't knitted in 40 years."
"Good. Then you won't criticize my terrible stitches."
She sat. I handed her needles. Her fingers remembered what her mind had forgotten.

Next week, Agnes brought two friends. Then five. Then eight. The nursing home staff moved us to the sunroom. Called us "the knitting circle," though we mostly just sat together, hands moving, talking about nothing important. Grandchildren. Weather. The awful meatloaf they served on Tuesdays.

But here's what I noticed, these women started showing up to meals. Getting dressed instead of staying in robes. One woman, Clara, hadn't spoken in months according to staff. Started telling stories about knitting blankets during the Depression.

The scarves piled up. Terrible, uneven scarves in every color. "What do we do with these?" Agnes asked.
"Give them away," I said.
We donated them to the homeless shelter. Every month, a pile of scarves made by women everyone had forgotten about.

Then last winter, something happened. A homeless man came to the nursing home. Asked to meet the knitters. Staff was confused but brought him to our circle.

He held up a green scarf, terribly made, one end wider than the other. "I got this at the shelter in November. Wore it every night. There was a note in the pocket. 'Made by Agnes, age 81. Stay warm, friend.'"
Agnes's hands flew to her mouth.

"I'm in an apartment now," he continued. "Got a job. Saved that scarf. Wanted to say thank you. Nobody ever made me something before. Made me feel like I mattered enough to keep living."
Agnes cried. We all did.

My husband still thinks I'm wasting my time. Driving across town to knit with strangers.

But Agnes died last month. Peaceful, in her sleep. At her memorial, her daughter found me. "Mom talked about Wednesdays constantly. Said it gave her a reason to wake up. You gave her three good years."

The circle still meets. Eight women, ages 74 to 93, making terrible scarves for people who need to know someone cares.

I'm not saving the world. Just sitting in a sunroom, knitting with lonely women.
But sometimes that's exactly what saving the world looks like."

When My Team Complained About the Janitor Taking Too Long on Break

The first complaint came at 2:15 PM.

"Mr. Francesco has been in the break room for thirty minutes," my assistant said, glancing at her watch. "Breaks are fifteen."

I waved it off. "He's probably tired. I'll check on him."

Five minutes later, another employee appeared at my door—but this time, the concern in their voice had shifted to irritation.

I found Mr. Francesco sitting alone, his weathered hands covering his face. When I asked if he was okay, he jumped up like a student caught sleeping in class.

"I'm fine," he said quickly. "I just... I had a small anxiety attack. Trying to catch my breath."

I told him to take all the time he needed.

Ten minutes later, the third complaint arrived: "Francesco hasn't taken out the trash, and there's no toilet paper in the women's restroom. How long is this break going to last?"

That's when something inside me snapped.

I called everyone into my office.

"Mr. Francesco has worked here for twenty-six years," I began, my voice steady but firm. "He's a widower who lost his son last year. To reach this country, he crossed a jungle and a river on foot. He served in the military and defended Kuwait in 1990. He donated a kidney to save a stranger's life. He's survived three major surgeries. He's fifty-eight years old."

The room went silent.

"This man has given more to this building—and to this world—than most of us ever will. So if you see him sitting down, catching his breath, *leave him alone.* If there's no toilet paper, come find me. I'll replace it. I can take out the trash too."

I looked around. "Any volunteers to help? No? Then I'll handle it. But let Mr. Francesco have his peace."

From that day forward, no one ever complained about him again.

Sometimes he still sits a little longer. Sometimes he pauses mid-hallway, lost in thought. And honestly? After everything that man has endured, the least we can do is let him rest.

When asked why I defended him so fiercely, I said something simple: "Because kindness costs nothing—but its absence costs everything."

Nigerian man gives his testimony after the massacre of his village: "all the houses were set on fire and all our grain was burned. This morning we buried 29 people". Why is no one protesting for them?

A Tale of Two Maines - Total Media Blackout
Old Orchard Beach July 4th 2025

Nonstop the media propaganda outlets have talked about how OOB was going to be a ghost town this year. 4th of July was a MASSIVE hit! (thank you for this video btw). Instead of covering OOB's success - our propaganda outlets covered the TINY protests in Portland or wrote 'opinion' pieces on Orange Man Bad.

1 Video Is OOB take by a Mainer and the 2nd Video is from a non-Mainer who works at WGME doing a propaganda piece.

This WWII hero took on 200 German soldiers—and won.

He held the line alone for over an hour.
Wounded. Frozen. Outgunned.

He calmly called in artillery on his own position—and forced the enemy to retreat.

And yet today, most Americans have never heard of him.
His name was Audie Murphy.

And his story proves the power of an underestimated kid who refuses to back down.

@newscentermaine Nationwide, the No Kings Day marches were a flop. Since News Center Maine posted this story instead of the Flag Day parade, it would be reasonable to assume they supported the marches.

@EricLDaugh I heard that Carney stopped the Canadian tariffs before the election. Was that inaccurate?

This is heartbreaking. Tom Homan describes a child who was just rescued from a HORRIFIC situation:

"We just found one two days ago. A 14-year-old little girl. Living with two adult males. Who trafficked her."

"We found her, she’s pregnant. From trafficking being forced into prostitution. 14 years old. We are taking care of her. Both physically and mentally. Despite what the media says, we are not heartless. We care about these kids. I am a father."

"That shit is happening every day. We are going to put an end to it. Everything we can do."

@seiacoes @EricLDaugh Come and visit. Safety depends on what part of the U.S. you decide to visit. I would not recommend NYC right now, for instance. Galveston TX would probably be a good place to visit.
