Robin Williams’ emotional tribute to the American Flag leaves an entire stadium speechless — then in tears.
Is there a single Hollywood star who would give this performance today?
Total Patriot.
RIP Legend 🇺🇸
You only had a 2.7% chance of being born an American.
If you were lucky enough to be a native born American, you already won at life.
🇺🇸🇺🇸 Happy 250th Birthday, USA 🇺🇸🇺🇸
As a 20 year ER/Trauma RN, let me tell you a little bit about CPR that none of the tv shows will.
To do proper CPR, you have to push down on the chest HARD & fast. If you’re doing it correctly on anyone over the age of 70, multiple ribs will be broken and the sternum bruised. When you have multiple broken ribs, we call it “flail chest” and even if the person gets back a heartbeat, they’ll be unable to breathe properly because the chest cavity is no longer supported. So, you’ll likely need to be intubated rapidly and we sometimes break off your teeth in the process. It’s not pretty. It’s not peaceful. And it sure as hell isn’t painless.
Now, all of that is if you have your heart stop while in the hospital and you get a trained team. For patients over 80, if you need pre-hospital CPR, your survival rate is about 2%. Even if you do survive, your life is a living hell. You can’t laugh, breathe, cough or sneeze for up to a year without severe pain. You likely lost brain function due to the time without oxygen. Your mobility is impaired because you’ve been in bed for so long and many will never get out of bed again.
But @SenMcConnell ’s people want us to believe he’s already up and functioning as a member of Congress. I call bullshit. Complete and utter bullshit. The man was gorked for the last 5 years and there’s no way he’s miraculously healthy enough to vote on matters that impact our country after this.
He must be removed immediately. Isn’t fair to him or us to continue this farce.
Lastly, if you’re over 70, I beg you not to be a full code (make sure your loved ones know you don’t want CPR or intubation) and for the love of God, if you’re over 80, make sure you’re a DNR and have your POLST form on your refrigerator, in your wallet, and in your medical records so your poor family doesn’t have to make the decision for you. There’s nothing worse than being forced to break the chest of a frail granny because the kids are too sad to let her go or because the asshole grandkids want more time to have her write them into the will.
🚨 HUGE WIN FOR SECURE ELECTIONS!
Speaker Johnson just informed Senator Mike Lee that the SAVE America Act WILL be forced into the base text of the NDAA. This puts massive pressure on the Senate to pass it once the House sends it over, and it’s a must-pass bill!
Thank you, MAGA Mike Lee! Thank you, Speaker Johnson!
All hands on deck to SECURE OUR ELECTIONS!
As a critical care nurse, looking at Senator Mitch McConnell’s situation through an ICU lens tells a very different story from the public updates.
Following the release of emergency audio detailing an unconscious person and active CPR for cardiac arrest at his residence on June 14, his staff issued a statement claiming he continues to improve and is working closely with his office. 🙄
However, anyone with extensive bedside experience knows that for an 84-year-old frail patient who has sustained an out-of-hospital cardiac arrest requiring full resuscitation, the idea that he is actively participating in daily Senate business is highly unlikely.
The brutal physical trauma of chest compressions combined with the high risk of acute neurological insult makes a return to a high-functioning baseline virtually impossible for someone with his preexisting vulnerabilities.
From my clinical perspective, the statistical chances of a full recovery are slim to none, serving as a stark reminder that political status cannot override physiological limits.
Who agrees that his constituents and the rest of America deserves the truth? 🤔

There is a gigantic Washington D.C. press corps. Every news organization has reporters there. So why is no one trying to find out if Mitch McConnell is currently dead or alive?
Why aren’t we being informed about the health and prognosis of @SenMcConnell??
As a Kentucky voter, I am entitled to know if my Senatorial representative is lucid, vegetative, or deceased.
If the news was good, we would know it.
I can't get over this.
Every player on Team USA, heads bowed, locked in on a postgame prayer after knocking out Bosnia.
When's the last time you saw an entire American team do this?
Certainly not in the NBA…
Faith, brotherhood, and gratitude on the world stage.
God bless America. To Him goes the glory. 🇺🇸
Now would be a good time for ICE to launch the biggest mass deportation effort we’ve seen.
Total crackdown.
Post the videos everywhere.
Don’t let open borders Democrats think they’re winning.
