Esto es en Irán ahora mismo. Desesperante.

Se reportan al menos 12.000 MUERTOS, CBS dice que la cifra podría llegar hasta 20.000 en tan solo 16 días de protestas.

Esto es probablemente la matanza más grande de este siglo. El mundo no hace nada, nadie esta hablando de esto.

A Chinese man invented an anti-mosquito device by attaching a net to a fan and placing a UV light behind it. The mosquitoes are drawn to the light and then get sucked into the net

"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....

As our nation girds for possible Iranian terrorist attacks, this is the person Trump put in charge of terrorism prevention.

22 years old. Recent work experience: landscaping/grocery clerk.

Never worked a day in counter-terrorism. But he’s a BIG Trump fan. So he got the job.

No joke, leaving your house and returning home safely for 365 days is something to give God thanks for.

After a certain age, you are no longer the product of your environment or how you were raised. It's a personal choice to live the way you do.

We need the best educated workforce in the world.

We need the best teachers in the world.

We need to pay our teachers fairly for the important work they do.

No teacher in America should begin at less than $60,000 a year.

Netanyahu’s extremist government has halted ALL humanitarian aid into Gaza.

Starving children is a war crime.

UN leaders said: "International humanitarian law is clear: we must be allowed access to deliver vital lifesaving aid. We need to get aid in and the hostages out.”

All federal funding for grants, loans and programs will be paused as of 1/28/25 at 5pm. This means that NO MORE FUNDS WILL BE DISBURSED. Some of the funding areas affected include:

1. Head start and federally subsidized daycares
2. STUDENT FINANCIAL AID AND GRANTS
3. SNAP BENEFITS/ Food Stamps
4. Non-profits that receive federal funds or grants
5. ACA Health Insurance (premiums may rise)
6. Education programs funded federally i.e. After School programs, Special Ed
7. Medical Research/Cancer/Infectious Diseases
8. MEDICAID (Medicare and Social Security may be soon).
9. Affordable Housing and Section 8 payments
10. Foreign Aid
11. Clinics

This list is NOT exhaustive. I pray that those who voted for this especially for RACIST ideologies now understand that CLASSISM doesn’t care about your race. NOT ONE PERSON who benefits from and who is in need of federal funding/assistance is exempt from this. JESUS, BE A FENCE!
