Bear cub refuses to lose another brother. A shop owner near the woods couldn’t believe what he saw on his security camera: a mother black bear walking past with her cub and a tiny fawn beside them.

Another trail camera later captured the fawn nursing from the bear. Wildlife officials believe the fawn had lost its mother, while the bear may have recently lost one of her own cubs. Her maternal instincts took over, and she accepted the deer as part of the family.

Now, whenever anyone gets too close, the bear cub reportedly rushes forward to protect the fawn. It’s as if he already lost one brother and refuses to lose another. #wholesome #animals

I had no idea..

"This man was born in 1809.
In 1816, at age 7, he was forced to work because his family was expelled.
In 1818, he lost his mother.
In 1828, he lost his sister.
In 1831, he opened his first business and went bankrupt.
In 1832, he stood in the legislative elections and lost.
In 1833, he borrowed money to open another business and went bankrupt again.
In 1835, he met a wonderful woman. He falls in love with her, they get engaged, and she dies.
In 1836, he entered a dark period of his life: deep depression.
He remains bedridden for 6 consecutive months. But he gets up.
He gets up and in that same year of 1836 he runs in the legislative elections and loses again.
In 1840 he presented himself as an elector; he loses.
In 1842, he met the woman he would end his life with.
They fall in love, get engaged, get married and she gives him 4 children and they lose 3 (three).
In 1843, he appeared at the congresses and lost.
In 1845, he appeared again at the congresses and lost again.
In 1850, his son died.
In 1854, he ran for the Senate and lost.
In 1856, he ran for Vice President, he didn't even have 100 votes.
In '58, he ran again for the Senate and lost again.

And in 1860 ABRAHAM LINCOLN was elected President of the United States of America 🇺🇸.
He was elected for two exceptional terms (he was assassinated in beginning of the second term.) He was one of the most respected and impactful Presidents in the history of the United States 🇺🇸.

It's important to tell this story of perseverance because we see the hero, but we don't see the backstage of the afflictions. "

Wow. ...
I think this is a great example of Never Never Never Give Up! 🇺🇸🇺🇸

My grandfather, communism, and the tremor that never left. A story I rarely share.

He was the principal of a private school; respected, steady, a man who believed in books and order. Then, one ordinary afternoon, his world ended.

A squad of communist troops stormed on to campus grounds. They herded the children out like cattle, set every book ablaze in the courtyard. “Less educated people are easier to control,” they believed.

They dragged my grandfather and his staff to the side of a dusty road, forced them to their knees, hands bound tight behind their backs. One by one, the executions began. The crack of pistols split the air. Each body fell with a heavy thud into the dirt. Each crack of the pistol meant it was getting closer to his demise.

My grandfather stared straight ahead as the man beside him collapsed. He felt the warm steel of the pistol press against the back of his skull. Time slowed. This was it, the final second of his life.

Then, fate intervened. He lifted his eyes and saw a column of troops marching down the road. At its head walked a general. A childhood friend.

With a scream of desperation, he called out his name. The general was startled but recognized my grandfather and immediately spared his life.

Tears streamed down his face. His entire body shook violently as he sprinted home. He grabbed his wife and children with nothing but the clothes on their backs and fled that very hour, leaving behind their home, their belongings, their entire life.

Everything was taken away by the regime in a single afternoon.
From that day forward, an uncontrollable tremor gripped his right hand. It was particularly noticeable whenever his emotions got the better of him.

The shaking never stopped. It followed him across oceans and time until the day he passed.

That is communism.

It is not theory, not idealism, but the pistol at the back of the head, the burning books, the shattered lives. Do not let anyone sell you a nightmare dressed up as a wonderful dream.

The people now sowing socialist and communist poison in America are exactly what President Trump warned: the greatest threat to our free world.

On this 250th birthday of the United States, let one survivor’s grandson say it plainly and without apology:

COMMUNISM MUST NEVER BE ALLOWED TO SPREAD IN THESE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA. 🇺🇸​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​

MAY GOD BLESS AMERICA.

JUST IN:

Chuck Norris’ son Dakota has taken to social media and posted this tribute to his father.

“Dad, it's hard to find the right words for this, but I'll do my best. You've been the man I looked up to my whole life.

Your generosity, your kindness, your courage, your integrity, your strength, your discipline, and your faith in the Lord were just a handful of things I always admired about you. You lived your life with purpose and with love for all people.

No matter what I was going through, you were always there.

You made sure I knew how much you loved me. Honest to God, I don't think there was a single day that went by where you didn't say it. I'm so proud to be your son.

The memories we made, the lessons you taught me, and the constant laughs we shared will stay with me for the rest of my life.

Thank you for everything you gave to our family and for the example you set every day. I hope I can live a life that honors you and makes you proud. I love you, Dad. I'll miss you forever.”

[Duane Dog Chapman @DogBountyHunter]

Chuck Norris wasn’t just the tough guy on screen as Walker, Texas Ranger or in his action movies—he was a real martial arts master who grew up poor, became a six-time karate champion, served his country as a Marine, built a family he loved as a caring husband, father, and grandfather, and gave his life to Christ with the same strong discipline.

He lived with purpose, faith, and love for others—just as Scripture calls us to. He’s now resting in the arms of the Savior he trusted.

“I have fought the good fight, I have finished the race, I have kept the faith. Now there is in store for me the crown of righteousness, which the Lord, the righteous Judge, will award to me on that day.” —2 Timothy 4:7-8 (NIV)

RIP Chuck Norris.

A legend.

[Greg Abbott @GregAbbott_TX]

Texas has lost a legend.

All of Texas mourns the passing of Chuck Norris. He was not only a martial arts champion, action icon, and the one and only Walker, Texas Ranger. But he electrified generations of conservatives. Giving them a passion and voice to fight for the principles that make America the greatest nation on earth.

He embodied the toughness, grit, and patriotism that makes Texas supreme.

Rest in peace, Chuck.

Mother's Milk⭐️ I found this fascinating. It's long but worth it.

A scientist analyzed 700 samples of mother's milk—and discovered it wasn't food at all. It was a conversation.
California, 2008. Dr. Katie Hinde sits in her lab, surrounded by data that refuses to make sense.
She's studying breast milk from rhesus macaque mothers. Hundreds of samples. Thousands of measurements. The kind of straightforward nutritional analysis that should produce straightforward results.
Instead, she keeps finding patterns that contradict everything in the textbooks.
The milk isn't consistent. It's changing. Adapting. Responding to variables she hasn't even measured yet.
She runs the analysis again. Checks her instruments. Reviews her methodology.
The patterns hold.
Some mothers are producing milk concentrated with fat and energy. Others are producing higher volumes with completely different nutrient profiles. It's not random variation—it's systematic. Purposeful.
Katie presents her findings to colleagues.
The responses come immediately: "Measurement error." "Statistical artifact." "Probably nothing."
Because if milk composition actually changes based on individual babies and their specific needs, that would mean something medical science had never seriously considered:
Milk isn't nutrition being delivered. Milk is information being exchanged.
For generations, we treated breast milk like biological fuel. Calories in, baby grows. A natural formula. Simple. Case closed.
But Katie trusted what the data was showing her.
She kept digging.
Across hundreds of mothers and thousands of samples, a revolutionary picture emerged.
Milk composition changes throughout a single day. Morning milk contains compounds that promote alertness—natural wake-up chemistry. Evening milk includes precursors that help babies sleep.
The first milk in a feeding (foremilk) differs from the last (hindmilk). Early milk hydrates. Final milk delivers concentrated calories, naturally teaching infants to feed completely.
Then Katie discovered something that rewrote biology textbooks.
Human milk contains over 200 complex sugars called oligosaccharides that babies cannot even digest. They pass through the infant's system completely unchanged.
Why would evolution include indigestible compounds in the primary food source for human infants?
Because they're not food for the baby.
They're food for beneficial bacteria in the infant's gut. Milk simultaneously nourishes the child and cultivates their microbiome—building the bacterial ecosystem that will protect them for life.
But the most astonishing discovery was still ahead.
When babies nurse, microscopic amounts of saliva make contact with breast tissue. That saliva carries chemical signals about the infant's immune system—information about pathogens encountered, threats developing, infections beginning.
The mother's body reads those signals.
And the milk transforms.
Within hours, white blood cell counts can surge. Antibodies appear—targeted to whatever the baby's chemistry revealed. When the infant recovers, the milk composition returns to baseline.
The breast isn't just producing nutrition. It's responding in real-time to biological intelligence from the baby.
A dialogue. A conversation refined across 200 million years of mammalian evolution.
Mother and infant exchanging chemical information with every feeding. The mother's immune system educating the baby's defenses before symptoms even emerge.
And medical science had barely studied it.
Katie began investigating the research landscape. What she found was stunning:
Breast milk—the first food every human being consumes, the biological system that sustained every one of our ancestors—had been dramatically under-researched compared to other aspects of human biology.
Women's health, particularly the science of motherhood, had been systematically deprioritized.
Katie decided that needed to change.
In 2011, she launched "Mammals Suck...Milk!"—a blog that made lactation science accessible. Within a year, over a million readers were discovering answers to questions science had never properly asked.
The research accelerated.
Every mother's milk is biologically unique—customized not just to our species, not just to her individual baby, but to the specific moment in that baby's development, the environment they're in, the immune challenges they're facing right now.
In 2017, Katie brought this research to the TED stage. Over 1.5 million people watched.
In 2020, her work reached millions more through the Netflix documentary "Babies."
Today, at Arizona State University's Comparative Lactation Lab, Dr. Katie Hinde continues transforming how we understand infant development and maternal biology.
The implications reach everywhere.
Preterm infants in NICUs receive fundamentally different care now. Formula manufacturers are redesigning products with new understanding. Lactation support has improved because we finally comprehend what milk actually accomplishes.
But here's what matters most:
Katie Hinde didn't just discover new facts about milk.
She exposed how half the human experience—the biology of mothers and infants—had been under-studied because it was considered less important than other research priorities.
She proved that nourishment is intelligence. That the first relationship every human has isn't passive delivery but active conversation.
An information transfer. An education in immunity, behavior, and survival encoded in chemistry.
Today, comparative lactation is a growing field. New researchers. New questions. New discoveries emerging constantly.
All because one scientist looked at data that contradicted accepted models and asked:
"What if the data is correct and the model is wrong?"
Sometimes the most significant revolutions don't require new technology or massive funding.
They come from someone paying attention to what everyone else overlooked.
Katie Hinde thought she was analyzing milk composition.
What she uncovered was a conversation 200 million years in the making—sophisticated, adaptive, intelligent—hidden in plain sight because no one had thought to truly listen.
Now we're listening.
And what we're hearing changes everything we thought we knew about how mothers and babies communicate, how immunity develops, and how the most fundamental act of nurture is also the most sophisticated transfer of biological wisdom ever evolved.

Charlie Kirk did not begin by leading. He began by learning.

He loved the truth and went looking for it — in the Bible, in the Great Books, and in the principles of the American Founding. Those studies shaped his mind and strengthened his character.

If we wish to carry on his work, we must do the same.

The courses he took remain open to all. Learn as he learned.

Unrealized gains tax for Gen-Z:

You buy a Pokémon card for $50.

Someone offers you $500 for it. You say no. You love that card. You're keeping it.

The government says: "Cool, but that card is worth $500 now. You owe us $100 in taxes."
You: "…I didn't sell it."

Government: "Don't care. Pay up."

You don't have $100 lying around. So you're forced to sell the card you love just to pay a tax on money you never received.

Next month? That card drops back to $50.

Your card is gone. Your money is gone. And the government shrugs.

That's a wealth tax on unrealized gains. They don't pay you back the tax...

Now picture this.

Your mom calls you crying. She has to sell the house she raised you in. Not because she can't afford it. She's lived there 30 years. It's paid off.

But some website says it's worth more now and the government says she owes $15,000 she doesn't have.

So she sells your childhood home. The kitchen where she made you breakfast. The doorframe where she marked your height every birthday.

Gone.

To pay a tax on money that was never real.

Now picture the opposite.

Your dad put everything into his small business. For 20 years he built it from nothing. One year the business is "valued" at $2 million on paper. He owes a massive tax bill. He empties his savings. Sells his truck. Borrows money. Pays it.

Next year the market crashes. His business is worth $200,000.

He lost everything to pay a tax on a number that doesn't exist anymore.

Does the government give him his money back?
No.

Does the government give him his truck back?
No.

Does the government care?
No.

They sold this idea as "taxing billionaires." But billionaires have armies of lawyers, offshore accounts, and trusts. They'll be fine.

You know who won't be fine? Your mom. Your dad. Your neighbor with a small business. The farmer down the road who's had the same land for four generations and now has to sell it because dirt got expensive.

You're not taxing wealth. You're taxing people for owning things.

It's like getting a parking ticket for a car you might drive somewhere someday.

They want you to own nothing and be happy. To fund the fraud, waste and abuse of the welfare state they created.

There is enough money. More tax isn't needed. It's all a lie. But you've been gaslit into believing this is a rich vs poor debate.

I hope you understand what's at stake.
