@ArlineL0 Honestly I could careless if Trump had a bad night. Still won’t change who I’m voting for. I want a safe environment for kids to live in and be able to afford a living and feed my kids at the end of the day! I know Trump can do that cause he already proved it before!
@itsrosesm Think it was all setup with Democrats to ruin Trump presidency and now he in office again and then came Epstein files! Funny how it all on Trump presidency
An FDNY firefighter just tore into a pro-Palestine activist wearing an Elmo costume a few blocks from Ground Zero.
On 9/11.
While families were still reading the names of the dead.
That’s the line. You don’t show up in a cartoon costume to spit on this day and expect New York’s firefighters to stay quiet.
343 of their brothers never came home.
@LauraLoomer Right from wrong is seriously not that hard to comprehend! Yet these women have made a fan club out of supporting a women who killed 3 innocent children. I don’t care what issues or excuses people got for her! Wrong is wrong period! Take responsibility and accountability
They showed Lindsay Clancy’s phone searches in court.
“Where is the carotid artery”
“How to slit your throat to die”
“Can you turn airbags off on Kia Sorento”
“Can you treat a sociopath?” — searched just FOUR DAYS before the killings.
“Ketamine for suicidal ideation”
And we’re still supposed to believe there was absolutely no planning involved?
Come on.
Those searches didn’t happen after the fact. They were made BEFORE her three children were killed.
You can debate her mental state. You can debate criminal responsibility. But those searches are evidence the jury absolutely has to weigh when deciding whether this was planned.
I know what they say to me.
She planned it.
@atensnut I really believe she was suicidal from things not working out with her husband. To get back at her husband she didn’t want to live anymore and was going to take the children with her. That way patrick life will be hurt for rest of his life with his new wife
@GuntherEagleman Name change Doesn’t matter to me. But it never was named after the Canadian province it was an Indian name meaning shining lake! A lot of our towns in NY are Indian names!
Nineteen dogs were scheduled to be euthanized.
Then a Buffalo Bills wide receiver showed up and opened the van door.
Khalil Shakir is one of the best slot receivers in the NFL. He is also, quietly, in the dog rescue business.
Here's how this one happened.
His family's foundation, the Shakir Family Foundation, held a big pet adoption event in Buffalo. Eight local rescue organizations took part. A bunch of Bills players showed up. So did a big chunk of the community.
Eighteen dogs from one rescue, Nickel City Canine Rescue, found homes that day.
And while he was there, somebody mentioned to Shakir that a transport was coming in the next day.
Clarke County Animal Shelter, like a lot of shelters, has to euthanize dogs when they run out of space. Nickel City's fosters had gone through the list and identified 19 dogs they could take.
A representative for the rescue described Shakir's reaction in one sentence: his eyes lit up, and he said he would love to come help again.
So the next day he showed up. Not with cameras and a PR team. With his mother, Mona, and two of his best friends.
ESPN's description of the moment is the whole thing: Shakir had his signature big, bright smile on his face as he opened the van door, and inside were 19 dogs waiting.
He helped them off the truck and helped them get used to their new surroundings while they waited for homes.
Nickel City's post about it said it perfectly.
19 dogs. 19 second chances.
Now here's the part that makes this more than a nice afternoon.
Clarke County is the exact same shelter where the Shakirs' own dog, Missy, was rescued from by Nickel City before the family adopted her.
He wasn't helping strangers. He was going back to the place his own dog came from.
And this wasn't his first one either. Shakir and his wife Sayler had helped with another transport a few months earlier that saved 26 dogs.
That's 45 dogs in a single year from two transports, plus a foundation adoption event that placed 18 more.
He's also partnered with Nickel City enough times that one of the dogs they rescued ended up in the Puppy Bowl.
There's a version of an NFL player's charity work that's a photo op and a check. And there's a version where a 25 year old brings his mom and his two best friends to a parking lot on a Sunday to meet a van.
Shakir does the second one.

Friendly reminder: Robert Gilman, a former U.S. Marine, spent FOUR YEARS in a Russian prison while Biden traded the “Merchant of Death” for Brittney Griner.
President Trump brought Gilman HOME, and didn’t trade a damn soul to do it.
That’s America First.
