So I tried something new this morning. While my kids were eating breakfast I played the daily readings podcast from the @USCCB & just watched their reaction. At the end of the podcast my 10 yr old son began asking me questions about the readings. #GreatConversationStarter
Charlie Kirk was more committed to peaceful, open dialogue with those who disagreed with him than anyone I know. God blessed him with immense gifts, and he used them boldly and without fear. He knew the risks he was taking, but he did it anyway because he loved his kids & felt a responsibility to the nation they would inhabit. I traveled the entire country with him last year, we spent 1x1 time together in Ohio two weeks ago, spoke to him again 2 days ago. He’s long warned of the rise of political violence & the growing culture of assassination, when few were willing to listen, with a clarity of vision unlike anyone I’ve known. Completely and utterly devastated.
@VernThompson I think it could be worse. How many years have they produced post season teams with very little payroll. Excellent business strategy. If they can focus on getting at least one more home run hitter that can hit 25+ bombs a year we’ve got a great chance to win a World Series
At the Cook Inlet in Alaska, I joined Kenaitze Tribal Council Vice Chair Jakob Kooly to witness the tribe’s deep commitment to traditional, subsistence foods — from fishing the Kenai River’s historic salmon run to growing fresh produce in community gardens and greenhouses.
Ultra-processed foods are driving our nation’s chronic disease crisis, and their impact hits American Indian and Alaska Native communities especially hard. The Kenaitze Indian Tribe’s leadership in food sovereignty shows the path forward to Make America Healthy Again.
A group of black people jumped two white people in Cincinnati, sucker punching a woman and knocking her out cold.
If the races were reversed, this would be on every major news outlet in the country. But since it’s not the narrative they want, they’ll ignore it.
This was violent, disgusting and unacceptable. They should be charged.
Cap property taxes. Eliminate income & capital gains taxes. Reverse the ‘brain drain’ of young people leaving our state & give our kids a world-class education. The state that put the first man on the moon can get this much done, it’s not too much to ask.
AOC built her entire political brand on being a “Girl from the Bronx.”
But is that true? No. It’s a lie.
I travelled to AOC’s actual hometown to investigate. It’s safe, clean, patriotic and wealthy. It’s a slice of small town American heaven.
Here’s where AOC is really from…
Cranbury Township is looking to take ownership of a 175-year-old family farm for a housing development project
The farm owners don’t want to sell, so the New Jersey town plans to take it by eminent domain
The farm has survived significant historical events, including the Civil War and the Great Depression. Cranbury Township aims to seize the farm to meet New Jersey’s state-mandated affordable housing requirements, stemming from the Mount Laurel Doctrine and a 2024 bill signed by Governor Phil Murphy
The farm owners received a letter from the Cranbury Township Committee notifying them that their farm was targeted for affordable housing. If they refused to sell, the township would proceed with eminent domain
American High School teacher left being a teacher and she has a warning for America
She exposes the school boards are making teachers pass students just to keep their graduation numbers up
“Now that I am no longer a teacher, I can finally say the things that have been on my mind all school year. As somebody that taught high school and basically educating our new young adults, we should all be scared. Every last one of us should be scared
- These kids cannot read
- They cannot write
- There is no type of comprehension skills
- No type of critical thinking
- They cannot do anything on their own
- They expect everything to be taught to them
Well, I won't even say taught. They expect everything to be given to them”
“Genuinely the truth of the matter is everybody is failing these kids. Everybody. The school board with all these different rules, they're failing these kids, the principals or admin all together, they're failing these kids and they're failing the teachers because they're basically telling us that we had to just pass a child along just to keep these graduation numbers up”
“These colleges are going to have to start lowering. Lowering their requirements. They're gonna have to start lowering the fact. Or just lowering everything. Because the way that stuff is going now, the amount of kids that are going to come into these schools, and they cannot read, they cannot write, they cannot do anything without AI”
She talks about giving assignments to write 5 sentences and basically no students can do that
“We should be scared. We should really be scared”
