1970’s Time Capsule
(A Thread 1/9)
Before The National Geographic Society became NatGeo, they celebrated Americana.
The June 1972 cover features a family competing in the annual Fourth of July raft race in Independence, Oregon. Their raft proudly displays OldGlory on the mast.
🚨TEXAS MURDER TRIAL LATEST: The defense has rested in the Texas murder trial of Karmelo Anthony for the fatal track-meet stabbing of 17-year-old Austin Metcalf. After a defense witness admitted Anthony provoked the fight, the case heads to closing arguments tomorrow. @Brooketaylortv reports.
SCOTUS: The Supreme Court has confirmed that parents don’t have to let government schools groom their children. Parents have the right to opt their children out of LGBTQAI+ indoctrination.
Dear @WhiteHouse, my name is Rodney Smith Jr., founder of Raising Men & Women Lawn Care Service in Huntsville, Alabama. Through our 50 Yard Challenge, over 6,000 kids across the country have signed up to mow free lawns for the elderly, disabled, veterans, active-duty military, first responders, and single parents. With America celebrating its 250th birthday this year and me also being born on July 4th, I wanted to humbly ask if a few kids from our program and myself could travel to Washington, D.C. to help mow the White House lawn for this historic celebration.
More than anything, I want these kids to see how a simple act of service something as ordinary as mowing a lawn for someone in need can lead to extraordinary places. What better lesson in community service than showing them that helping others can take them all the way to our nation’s capital? I’d also love to bring my American flag-themed mower in hopes that the President might sign it, so I can later auction it off and donate 100% of the proceeds to a nonprofit supporting veterans. It would be a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to highlight the importance of service, patriotism, and the impact young people can have when they choose to make a difference. 🇺🇸
British police are hiding Henry Nowak’s final Snapchat and police bodycam footage.
18-year-old Henry Nowak was stabbed to death in Southampton. His Snapchat videos captured the attacker carrying a 21cm blade and saying “I am a bad man” – shown in court.
Bodycam footage captured the dying teen handcuffed by police, pleading “I’ve been stabbed,” “I’m dying,” “I can’t breathe.” He collapsed and bled out in cuffs.
Yet the full raw footage remains withheld from the public despite outrage and petitions.
Why hide a victim’s final moments if there is nothing to hide?
Release the Snapchat and bodycam footage now. Justice for Henry demands transparency.
CBS News said there was no evidence of fraud.
The NYT said the Somali community was being targeted
CNN said there was "little evidence."
Tim Walz said it was “white supremacy” to expose fraud
Today: $90M busted and 15 charged.
IT WAS ALL FRAUD AND THEY KNEW.
BREAKING: It's being reported by the Washington Times that there will be a peace deal announced within the next 24 hours between America and Iran.
"The draft version of the peace deal has been sent to leaders of both nations for final approval."
Pray for peace 🙏
There were massive international protests over George Floyd and those police involved were severely punished with long prison sentences, yet the police responsible here did not even lose their jobs!
An incredibly unjust double-standard!
🚨 After TMZ ran a dirty SMEAR PIECE on him, LA mayoral candidate Spencer Pratt showed up on their network and went FULL BEAST MODE, directly PUMMELING their lies to their faces!
TMZ tried claiming he was misleading people about living in a trailer after his house burned down, saying he’s really at a “hotel.”
Pratt walked right in and absolutely destroyed the narrative. No script, no handlers, just raw truth.
This is why Spencer Pratt is the REAL DEAL. He doesn’t back down from the fake news media. Future Mayor Pratt energy is unstoppable.
Rubio goes viral after DJing a family wedding, and even Fetterman backs him up, saying he’s doing a strong job representing the country.
Didn’t see that combo coming.
Politics meets real life.
Internet ran with it.
The puppy we rescued with @jamesklug and @Julio_Rosas11 is thriving! He was filled with parasites and had a tough time detoxing from whatever horrors he was digesting, but look at him now! Visit The LaBelle Foundation to learn more about him and other dogs!
