At age 11, Elon saw his first real computer in a Johannesburg mall and just stood there staring. He had only read about them in magazines before.

His dad hated computers (“just for games”), so Elon saved up from odd jobs and bought a Commodore VIC-20.

He finished the 60-hour BASIC programming course in 3 days, barely sleeping.

At 13, he created his own video game called Blastar (destroy an alien space freighter with hydrogen bombs) and sold it to a magazine for $500.

He then sold two more games: one similar to Donkey Kong, and another simulating roulette and blackjack.

This kid was built different from the start. 🚀

REVEALED: Top American generals formed a secret backchannel with a CCP military intelligence front that instructed them:

“We wish you would advocate positions” favorable to China.

Some ended up on China’s payroll.

Pete Buttigieg says higher taxes would help America build fast trains.

Has he seen California’s high-speed rail?

"If we had a more reasonable rate of taxation on capital gains and corporate income, and made it harder to pass along inherited wealth..."

"We’d be out of this doom loop we’re in saying... We can’t possibly do something like fast trains here in the United States. Of course we can. This is the wealthiest economy in the world."

"If we aren't collecting a fair level of taxes, then of course we're going to come up short when we're trying to fund those things."

California started its high-speed rail 18 years ago. Original cost: $33 billion. Current estimate: $230 billion. They've already spent $15 billion.

They've built 0 miles of operational high-speed rail.

Low taxes isn't why America can't build fast trains.

RFK Jr. just said on national television that Lyme disease and RSV came from gain-of-function research.

“Lyme disease almost certainly came from these experiments and is now devastating our country.”

“RSV came from a laboratory, which is now the biggest killer of children in our country.”

“And of course, the COVID-19 pandemic, which was a trauma for the whole globe.”

“All of those have been linked credibly to gain-of-function research.”

“It’s something with enormous costs and no proven benefits.”

A woman in a hot-air balloon realized she was lost. She lowered her altitude and spotted a man in a boat below.

She shouted to him, "Excuse me, can you help me? I promised a friend I would meet him an hour ago, but I don't know where I am."

The man consulted his portable GPS and replied, "You're in a hot air balloon, approximately 30 feet above a ground elevation of 2,346 feet above sea level. You are at 31 degrees, 14.97 minutes north latitude and 100 degrees, 49.09 minutes west longitude.

"She rolled her eyes and said, "You must be a Republican."

"I am," replied the man. "How did you know?"

"Well," answered the balloonist, "everything you told me is technically correct. But I have no idea what to do with your information, and I'm still lost. Frankly, you've not been much help to me."

The man smiled and responded, "You must be a Democrat."
"I am," replied the balloonist. "How did you know?"

"Well," said the man, "you don't know where you are or where you are going.. You've risen to where you are, due to a large quantity of hot air. You made a promise you have no idea how to keep, and you expect me to solve your problem. You're in exactly the same position you were in before we met, but somehow, now it's my fault."

[Jordan Sather @Jordan_Sather_]

Natalie Winters reports that Fauci quietly joined an mRNA Vaccine startup company called “Vaccine Company Inc.” in 2023 right after he left government service.

Biden’s Admin then awarded this company $28 million in government contract money in September 2024.

Then just two months ago, Eli Lilly bought this company for $1.55 billion.

In looking into this company (which there’s not much online for, it’s very stealth), it looks like the current CEO is a woman named Susan Silbermann. Susan is the former “Global President of Vaccines” at Pfizer. Color me not shocked at all.

Wonder how much money Fauci got for being on the “Scientific Advisory Board” of this shady vaccine startup after their Eli Lilly buy out?

Looking back now, it’s hard to believe this was considered completely normal by so many people.

Amazing life story!

[LifeNews.com @LifeNewsHQ]

They left him like he was nothing—just a few days old, abandoned and crying inside a dumpster.

But fate had a different plan for Freddie Figgers.

A passerby heard the cries and called the authorities. Police rushed the baby to the hospital.

Just 13 days later, Nathan and Betty Figgers, a humble couple from Quincy, Florida, saw the story on the news.

They already had a daughter, but when they saw that tiny boy… they knew they had to do something.

They brought him home.

His childhood wasn’t easy. Kids bullied him, calling him “trash baby.” The words cut deep.

Years later, he sought out his biological mother—only to learn she was battling serious addiction.

He never saw her again.

“The people who raised me are my real parents. They gave me love… and a new life.”

When Freddie was 9, his dad bought him a broken $25 Macintosh computer. Freddie took it apart, fixed it using pieces from a radio—and it worked.

That’s when his love for technology was born.

By 13, he was repairing computers for the local government.

At 15, he launched Figgers Computers.

He built his first systems in his parents’ living room.

He invented medical devices so doctors could remotely monitor patients.

At 19, he sold one invention for $2.2 million.

He even designed GPS shoes to help track his father, who had Alzheimer’s.

By 25, Freddie held five patents and had developed over 80 software programs.

But he never forgot where he came from.

Today, he runs a foundation that provides scholarships, emergency aid, and food for the homeless.

“I started it with my own money. You can be successful and lose your soul—I don’t want that.

I want to make a difference. What you give always comes back.

And there’s no greater reward than knowing you’re doing good.”

From being thrown away… to building a legacy with purpose.

Freddie Figgers’ story proves: Where you start doesn’t define how far you can go.

It is with profound sorrow that we bid farewell to Jeanne Gibson, our beloved Rosie the Riveter, has passed away today, July 29, 2026, at the remarkable age of 100. With her passing, we don't simply mourn the loss of a beloved friend, we honor the life of an American hero whose courage, dedication, and unwavering spirit helped shape history, and will continue to inspire generations to come.📷📷
At just 18 years old, Jeanne left her home in Minnesota in the summer of 1944 and answered her nation's call, becoming a welder at Todd Pacific Shipyards in Seattle. With determination and grit, she helped build destroyers that strengthened the Allied war effort during World War II. She later continued her service with the Army Transportation Corps in Juneau, Alaska, embodying the resilience and patriotism of the Greatest Generation.
Yet Jeanne's legacy extended far beyond the war. She earned her Ph.D., dedicated three decades to teaching, earned her private pilot license, and spent the rest of her life proving that courage, determination, and purpose know no age.
In 2024, Jeanne and her fellow Rosies were collectively awarded the Congressional Gold Medal, one of our nation's highest civilian honors, recognizing the extraordinary women whose sacrifices and determination helped secure victory during World War II.
To all of us at Pacific Historic Parks, Jeanne was far more than a Rosie, she was family. She traveled to Hawaiʻi time and again to share her remarkable story with visitors, inspire local students, and ensure that the sacrifices of the Home Front would never be forgotten. Her radiant smile, generous heart, and boundless enthusiasm touched every life she encountered.
She had a special gift for encouraging young girls, reminding them that no dream was too big and no obstacle too great. Through her words and her example, she inspired generations to believe in themselves and pursue lives of courage, service, and purpose.
Jeanne remained a tireless advocate for preserving the legacy of the Rosies, volunteering at Rosie the Riveter WWII Home Front National Historical Park on "Rosie Fridays" and ensuring the stories of the women who helped win the war would continue to inspire future generations.
In one of life's poignant moments, just days before her passing, Jeanne was celebrated with a Wall of Honor banner at the park she loved so dearly and recognized during a San Jose Earthquakes halftime ceremony honoring Bay Area heroes. It was a fitting tribute to a woman whose life was defined by selfless service, quiet strength, and extraordinary grace.
Though Jeanne has taken her final flight, her legacy will never fade. It lives on in every story she shared, every young person she inspired, every life she touched, and in the enduring example of courage she leaves behind.
Our hearts are with Jeanne's family, her fellow Rosies, and all who were blessed to know and love her.
Rest in peace, Jeanne Gibson.
Thank you for answering the call when your country needed you most. Thank you for showing generations what courage looks like. We will remember you always
