Australian discovers Texas Roadhouse…
First, he calls it a “fancy restaurant,” and he couldn’t be more wrong. Texas Roadhouse isn’t just a fancy ole restaurant. It’s a giant slice of heaven brought down to earth.
This man loves the bread, the free refills, the service.
In response to those outside the US complaining about tipping there: “You don’t have to tip… you WANT to tip. These are the most wonderful people on earth.”
“I don’t even know why some of you Americans are so angry all the time; you guys have Texas Roadhouse in your country.”
You got that right. 🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸

Tony Robbins: iPhone has ran for 18 - 19 years. If you got an iPhone each time, you spend $22,000 and some change at retail price... But if you bought Apple stock, same amount of money on the stock you’d be up $326,000 instead of being out $22,000
Spencer Pratt got 0 out of 24,000 votes in a late night LA ballot drop.
0/24,000
A guy getting around 30% support got 0 out of 24,000.
Astronomically small probability of happening.
Impossible.
California no longer even hides it.
Doors need to be kicked in.
Benicia, California Police Corporal Kirk Keffer spotted 19-year-old Jourdan Duncan walking alone late at night through a dimly lit industrial area.
Jourdan was making the tough 7-mile (2.5-hour) commute home to Vallejo after his graveyard shift—his car had broken down. He turned down other ride offers, determined to handle it himself.
Impressed by the teen’s strong work ethic, Officer Keffer gave him a ride home and later returned with fellow officers. They surprised Jourdan with a new bicycle, purchased by the police association, to make his daily journey easier.
Keffer went further: he helped raise $38,000 to buy Jourdan a car and mentored him toward his dream of becoming a police officer. Jourdan even rode along on shifts with him.
What started as a simple act of kindness and grew into a genuine mentorship and lasting friendship. It is a powerful true story of human connection.
Last night, I made a simple request on X. I asked if anybody visiting Arlington National Cemetery for Memorial Day would stop by Alan’s grave and leave a photo for our family.
What happened next honestly caught me off guard.
By this afternoon, dozens of Americans from all walks of life had made the walk to Section 60 to visit SSG Alan W. Shaw. Veterans. Families. Complete strangers. People who had never met Alan, but chose to honor him anyway.
For one day on social media, people put aside the constant noise and negativity and came together for something bigger than themselves. My notifications filled with photos, kind messages, prayers, and stories from people honoring not just Alan, but so many of our fallen heroes.
I don’t think people fully understand what moments like this mean to Gold Star families. The fear is never just losing them. It’s losing them slowly over time as the world moves on and fewer people remember their name.
But today showed me that Alan will never be forgotten.
After years of watching social media reward some of the worst parts of humanity, today gave me a reminder that the good is still out there too.
Thank you to every single person who stopped by to visit Alan today, said his name, shared his story, or took a moment to honor the fallen.
This right here is the America Alan knew and loved enough to fight and die for.
And today, y’all showed us all that it’s still here and it’s still worth fighting for. 🇺🇸
When I worked at Sears in the early 90's, the people there built entire lives off those jobs.
The guy running appliances had three kids, coached little league every weekend, and retired after 32 years with a pension.
One of the women in customer service bought her first house working full-time there, and the older guy in hardware took the same vacation to the Ozarks every summer because he could actually afford to unplug for a week.
The managers knew everybody by name, the Christmas bonuses actually meant something, and the store was packed every holiday season because business was booming.
Nobody thought they were "stuck" working retail - it was honest work that paid enough to live with dignity.
Somewhere along the way, corporations started making record profits while the people keeping the place running could barely afford rent.
When exactly did a steady full-time job stop being enough to build a normal life?
it is an unwritten rule of life that after every prolonged period of hardship and uncertainty, there is going to be a period when you are going to achieve quantum leaps across multiple areas of your life. the only requirement is that you do not give up on yourself
One of the strangest things about America 🇺🇸…
You meet people making $300k/year who are anxious, exhausted, medicated, and can barely sleep at night.
Then you go to Mexico 🇲🇽…
and see some guy running a small restaurant, barely breaking even…
but he’s laughing with friends, drinking mezcal at lunch, hugging customers, and sleeps perfectly fine at night.
A woman who lives and works in California had $20,000 taken out of her bank account by The Oregon Department of Revenue
She’s never lived in Oregon yet they were able to get her bank account information and take her money
Oregon said the woman owed the money in unpaid income taxes and penalties, but she didn’t. She’s never lived or worked there
She called and apparently Oregon has an address for her that was literally a public park
They told her it would be 5+ months to refund her money. The woman had to get the local media involved to put pressure to make them give the money back faster
Eventually, Oregon admitted it was a mistake
Another state should not have access to out of state residents bank account information
A dad breaks down in tears as he watched his son pitch in his first MLB game, and throw his first career strikeout.
His son’s childhood dream coming true right in front of him.
Incredible.
This is what every father lives for, seeing his children succeed.
Powerful moment.

An elementary school teacher asked her students to share what their father's do for a living.
One kid said, "My dad is a stripper at a gay nightclub and he turns tricks in the alley for extra cash."
After class, the teacher asked, "Does your dad really do that?"
"No, he used to work for Joe Biden but I was too embarrassed to say that."
