I watched my wife push three human beings out of her body like it was an Olympic event.
One labor lasted over 18 HOURS.
EIGHTEEN.
She wasn’t sipping iced lattes, she was white-knuckling through pain that would make a Navy SEAL tap out and ask for his mommy.
And that’s just the delivery part.
Now she runs a full-contact combat zone at home: chasing a toddler who doesn't stop singing, teaching a 10-year-old multiplication and division, and feeding an 8-month-old who thinks sleep is optional.
She does all that on repeat, every single day, while somehow keeping the rest of us alive and mostly sane.
And what recognition does the calendar give her and many other rockstar moms around country?
One measly day.
Mother’s Day.
Fathers?
We show up, provide, protect, and kill the spider the size of a small dog.
One day.
Father’s Day.
Veterans?
The ones who went to war, saw things that broke their bodies and minds, and came home missing pieces?
They get one day too.
Memorial Day gets a long weekend for the rest of us to grill and forget when we should be remembering, and not stuffing hot dogs down our throats.
We honor our fallen heroes for a three-day weekend max.
Jesus Christ?
One day, even though half the country turns it into a shopping spree with inflatable Santas.
Thanksgiving?
The one day we’re supposed to shut up, sit down, and actually feel grateful for the roof, the food, and the family?
One. Single. Day.
But the LGBTQRSTUVWXYZ community?
They get an entire MONTH.
Thirty glorious days of corporate worship.
Every sports team, every Fortune 500 company, every coffee chain, every candy wrapper suddenly explodes in rainbow.
Your cereal wants to be an ally.
Your gum, your coffee and even your cheeseburger.
They’re not just waving it in your face, they’re selling it, branding it, and guilting you into buying it.
Why do they get 30 days when mothers who literally created life get 24 hours?
Because it’s not about rights anymore.
It’s a marketing racket dressed up as compassion. MA tiny percentage of the population gets turned into a cash cow while the rest of us are told to sit down, shut up, and celebrate or else we’re bigots.
Why?
Because guilt sells.
Fear of cancellation prints money.
Companies don’t actually care about the community, they care about looking like they care while your wife who birthed three kids gets a $6.99 card from Walgreens and a “happy Mother’s Day” text from corporate HR.
Mothers built civilization in the delivery room and the kitchen.
Fathers held the line so the rest of it didn’t collapse.
Veterans paid for our freedom in blood.
Jesus Christ LITERALLY DIED FOR YOU, so you could live forever.
And we give them all one day.
But a lifestyle marketing campaign gets a month because nothing says “authenticity” like Target turning your toddler’s underwear into a pride parade.
Enough.
Give mothers the whole damn month.
Or veterans.
Stop pretending a corporate profit orgy is bravery. Real bravery is pushing a baby out after 18 hours of labor then doing it two more times because you love your family more than your comfort.
That’s not a marketing ploy.
That’s a legacy.
Wouldn’t that mean he knew this baby would be aborted and he still gave them free will to make this decision? Is it not possible that this could be a lesson that hurts them so bad they end up turning to God? I don’t think I will ever understand a religion that tells people God gave us free will and that we shouldn’t judge people being made up of humans that judge everyone for making choices they think they shouldn’t have. To each his own.
@BrandonStraka@defroger03@Shannon049671 Why do you need an apology from someone who had nothing to do with what happened to you? And your life will not get better if Trump apologizes. If anything the media will just attack you more. Be grateful that you were pardoned and move on with your life.
@AnaKasparian@misfitpatriot_ He simply pointed out that you have selective outrage and that you’re full of shit. Calling him pathetic instead of addressing your hypocrisy only makes you look even worse. Now the only thing I know about you is that you lie and change your morals when it’s convenient for you.
And you are conveniently ignoring the fact that a jury who heard and saw all the evidence took less than 8 hours to unanimously agreed he was not guilty. Were you even in the courtroom to hear ALL of the testimony and evidence. Please stop with this race baiting bullshit. You are only embarrassing yourself.
@Dramahluv@Not_so_Ernest@MattWallace888 The jury, who had all the information took 8 hours to come back and say not guilty. Why are you pretending to know more than the actual jury?
@Zarish5062 I had an unexpected pregnancy that I wasn’t ready for. I gave it to a family that could provide everything I couldn’t. Making excuses instead of taking responsibility for your choices doesn’t help anyone.
@luinalaska The boom Journey of Souls completely cured my fear of death. It also released a lot of my fears in everyday life. I would recommend to anyone who struggles with a fear of death.
A mother describes her experience of being pressured to donate organs when her son was critically ill — and how “no” should mean no:
“I know my opinion on organ donation after loss may be unpopular.
But I also know there are grieving families who have felt exactly what I felt and were too afraid to say it out loud.
When my son was on life support, I was approached about organ donation extremely early into the process.
At that point, my son had not been declared brain dead.
I had not decided if or when I would remove life support.
I was still desperately trying to process the reality that my child was critically injured.
And yet I was brought into a small conference room under the impression we were having a medical discussion… only to be met by organ donation representatives.
There was nothing gentle about how they approached me.
Nothing compassionate.
Nothing that felt centered around the fact that my son was still lying there fighting for his life.
To me, it felt like vultures swarming around my son’s organs before I had even fully accepted I could lose him.
I felt blindsided.
Bombarded.
Pressured.
When I said no, the conversations continued.
I was told I would feel differently in 6 months because right now I was ‘deep in grief.’
I was told how his organs could save other people.
I was told stories about recipients waiting for transplants.
I was told his heart could save a woman in her 40s.
But in that moment, I did not care about strangers.
That may sound harsh to some people, but anyone who has sat beside their child on life support may understand exactly what I mean.
My entire world was my son.
And what made it even harder was that nobody had even fully explained to me yet that his body was no longer in multi-system organ failure I was told he was in just the day before.
Instead of feeling informed, I felt pursued.
I want to make something very clear:
I fully respect people who choose organ donation.
I think it is an incredibly selfless and beautiful choice for those who want it.
But I also believe consent matters.
My son was not registered as an organ donor on his state identification.
And for me personally, I felt that if Tomasso wanted his organs donated, he would have made that designation himself.
That was my decision as his mother.
And I do not regret honoring what I believed were his wishes.
What people do not talk about enough is how traumatic these conversations can become for families already in shock.
There is already unbearable pressure inside ICU rooms:
medical decisions,
life support discussions,
brain injury evaluations,
fear,
anticipatory grief,
exhaustion.
Families should never feel manipulated, guilted, or repeatedly pressured while trying to survive the worst moments of their lives.
People can support organ donation while also acknowledging that grieving families deserve honesty, compassion, informed consent, and space to make decisions without feeling emotionally cornered.
And families who say ‘no’ should not be made to feel selfish for it.”💔
In a thorough analysis of the Florida Department of Corrections, the Miami Herald identified at least 40,000 inmates with Hispanic surnames who were officially classified as “white”.
This is happening all over the country, in every city, in every state, erroneously inflating crime data for the white population.
The books are cooked…
When the Moderna "vaccine" entered my arm, I knew something was terribly wrong. I felt like my whole body and arteries was burning, at CVS in Los Angeles in July 2021, I was told I was overthinking it, but my body knew better.
Three days later I ended up in the hospital, fighting for my life for 6 weeks in the ICU and after 5 years of constant fighting my body is heavily affected by it.
I'm here to warn those still unaware or who've been gaslighted into silence just like myself.
The harms of mRNA vaccines aren't just side effects..they're life-altering for those of us living with them every day.
The unbelievably symptomatic can overwhelm any health professional, ALS, Myocarditis, blood clots, neurological disorders - these are now part of our reality. The narrative of progress rings hollow when you're one of the casualties. We need real vaccine injury compensation, not a system where you're lost in the shuffle. We deserve transparency from the manufacturers about what they knew, what they know now. And I'm calling out to political leaders,
I've learned the hard way that we can't count on the government to right these wrongs. They've been too slow, too unresponsive, or worse, dismissive. It's up to us to shout from the rooftops, to make our voices heard. I've been accused of overreacting, of being biased, but my body's reaction to the vaccine is undeniable. I'm not alone; there are millions of us.
Don't vaccinate. Don't vaccinate your children or your pets. Not until there's undeniable proof of safety, especially with new technologies like mRNA snd saMRNA. The risk is too great. I'm standing here, fighting not just for my health but for the truth, for justice, for all of us who've been harmed and killed. We cannot let this be a forgotten chapter in history.
We must unite, raise our collective voice, and demand change. Share this, support this, because we, the vaccine injured, will not be silent.
(Picture is from 2020. now after 6 years I look like a different person.)
@JamesSurowiecki@Noah_Fencebutt@TheDavidPiv Why don’t you just say the truth doesn’t matter to you? Just be man enough to admit that the facts surround this story are completely irrelevant to how you view it. But calling everyone a liar expect for the woman who had zero proof this happened is just unhinged behavior.
@TX3MReyna@DezBryant Same. Rooting for a giant as a cowboy’s fan feels kind of blasphemous 😂 But you gotta support our heroes even when their team sucks.
