Elihu Yale was a slave trader.
Bishop Emory was an anti-abolitionist.
If you aren’t after those universities to change their names, then stfu about #racism 🤨
The allegations of sexual assault against Graham Platner are deeply disturbing. He should drop out and make way for a candidate that can defeat Susan Collins in November.
A single mother put 40 cents into a slot machine at a New York casino and won $43 MILLION. The casino offered her a steak dinner and $2.25 instead. A judge sided with the casino. She walked away with nothing.
– Katrina Bookman grew up in foster care.
– She was homeless as a teenager. Raised four kids on her own as a single mother in New York.
– On August 5 2016 she walked into Resorts World Casino in Queens and put 40 cents into a slot machine called Sphinx Wild.
– Bells went off. Lights flashed. The screen displayed her winnings in full. $42,949,672.76. The biggest slot machine jackpot in American history.
– She took a selfie with the screen. She was already planning what to do with the money.
– A MILLION dollars for her son who wanted to open a barbershop.
– A casino employee told her to come back the next day to collect her winnings after an official review.
– The next day the casino told her the machine had malfunctioned. She had won nothing.
– They offered her $2.25, the amount showing on her printed ticket and a complimentary steak dinner as a gesture of goodwill.
– She said "Really? Are you serious? I felt insulted."
– She refused both and hired a lawyer.
– She filed a 17 page lawsuit against the casino, its parent company, and the slot machine manufacturer.
– Her lawyer argued that even if the $43 MILLION was a malfunction the machine's maximum legitimate jackpot was $6,500. The casino should pay at least that. The casino refused even that.
– The New York State Gaming Commission confirmed the malfunction.
– Every machine in the casino had a small disclaimer printed on it: "Malfunctions void all pays and plays."
– After years of delays including COVID the case finally went to court.
– A judge at Queens County Supreme Court ruled in favor of the casino.
– Katrina Bookman walked away with nothing.
– Not the $43 MILLION, not the $6,500. Not even the steak dinner.
A single mother who grew up in foster care put 40 cents into a machine, watched it display $43 MILLION, took a selfie, came back the next day and was handed $2.25 and a dinner reservation.
Fact check: Sarah Ransome claimed in 2016 emails she had copies of Epstein sex tapes involving Trump, Clinton, Prince Andrew and Branson. She retracted the claims weeks later. In a 2019 New Yorker interview she admitted fabricating the videotape allegations to draw attention to Epstein. No tapes were ever produced or verified. The story is old, self-admittedly fabricated on that point, and lacks corroboration. Resurfacing now adds no new evidence.
I asked the Government about the appalling two-tier policing in Birmingham.
The heckles and jeers from Labour and Tory MPs tells you a lot.
The Deputy Speaker cut me off. They might not care but millions of people do.
If Mitch McConnell was found unresponsive did he ever gain consciousness or was he brain dead at that moment?
John Thune said he spoke with him after being admitted to the hospital and said he was "very dialed in and indicated he'd be back soon".
It just baffles me that Americans sit back and do nothing.
Mitch McConnell is braindead and still a Senator.
Tim Walz allowed massive fraud and illegal immigration and he's still the Governor.
Gavin Newsom committed fraud and allowed massive illegal immigration and he's still the Governor.
We've literally watched Treason happen in real time and not a damn thing gets done about it.
Nobody's coming to save us!
When will enough be enough?
Outrageous.
A 12-year-old girl was sexually assaulted by her own brother, a 26-year-old-man, yet a judge concluded that sending him to jail would be "cruel and unusual."
Cruel and unusual? What about the lifelong trauma inflicted on this innocent child?
Canadians are right to be outraged. Time and again, we see a justice system that seems more concerned with protecting offenders than delivering justice for victims.
Victims deserve justice. Child predators deserve prison. It shouldn't be controversial.
Not for the first time 🙄 instead of aiming for higher achievement, better STEM scores, preparation for careers, education on personal finances or business, stock market…we’re just going to roll it back to lowered expectations 😒 smdh
Parents, we must stay vigilant.
A deeply concerning video has surfaced showing Ty'Heim Clark, widely known as "The Childcare Whisperer," wearing a dress and high heels while telling a group of young children that their parents cannot be trusted.
This is a direct, open attempt to drive a wedge between parents and their children. When prominent industry figures look kids in the eye and tell them to distrust the very people God gave to protect and guide them, it crosses a dangerous line. This is a deliberate effort to separate children from the authority and protection of their parents.
Scripture clearly establishes that parents—not outside influencers—are responsible for instructing and shielding their children. Anyone trying to break that bond is an immediate red flag.
We cannot afford to look the other way while people try to groom the next generation into distrusting their own families. You are the first line of defense for your household.

New York residents are furious at Zohran Mamdani over power restrictions
Con Edison implemented 8% voltage reductions in parts of Queens, Brooklyn, the Bronx and northern Manhattan. This means residents have to deal with things like slightly lights and appliances not working at full power
“Zohran Mamdani you're a real piece of f*cking sh*t. I get a message from Con Ed and they tell me that they're going to lower the voltage in my area to reduce outages. What a coincidence, the same day Taylor Swift gets married— Imagine going to a gas station paying full price, but they quietly give you 10% less than what you're supposed to get. Welcome to socialism”
Remember that while this is happening and residents are being told to keep their air conditioning at 78 degrees, the New York Post did investigative journalism and found temperatures inside City Hall were as low as 54
Rules for thee but not for our socialist leaders
@JessFromThe504 Where exactly does it say “they left him to die”? All we know is there were several boatloads of young people, most of whom likely knew each other. He spent time talking to a girl & reportedly swimming to other boats. Guess you never went to beach parties.
@JaccsJacks@cirocobama69 No one’s family members drowned when they created Lake Lanier. I’ve heard the lie forever. The fact is no black folk were living in Oscarville when Lake Lanier was created, and the white families there were made to leave. Whole area was evacuated prior, and no one drowned.
