After Japan battled the Netherlands to a 2-2 draw, the Japanese fans stayed behind and cleaned up every single piece of trash from their section at Dallas Stadium after the game.

These two short sentences tell you a lot about our government and our culture!

1. We are advised to not judge ALL Muslims by the actions of a few lunatics, But we are encouraged to judge All Gun Owners by the actions of a few lunatics.

Funny how that works….

And here is another one worth considering.
2. Seems we constantly hear about how Social Security is going to run out of Money. How come we never hear about Welfare running out of money?

What's Interesting is the first group "worked for" their money, but the second didn't.

Profound isn't it... Think about it.....

The hardware store closes at 6PM.. It's 5:58 when a kid walks in. The kid can't be more than sixteen. Soaking wet and shaking from the rain...

"We're closing." Tom says.

"Please. I just need a lock. For a door."

Something in the kid's voice. Terror. Desperation.

"What kind of lock?"

"I don't know. Just one that keeps people out."

The kid's got a black eye. Fresh. The kind that's still swelling.

Tom doesn't ask. Just walks to aisle seven. Shows him the locks. The kid reaches for the cheapest one, $8.99.

"That one's garbage," Tom says, "Won't stop anyone determined."

He hands him a deadbolt. Heavy duty. $34.99.

The kid's face crumbles. "I only have twelve dollars."

They stand there. Store empty except for them.

Tom takes the deadbolt to the register. Rings it up. "Twelve dollars."

"But,"

"Sale price. Today only."

The kid knows there's no sale. Knows this old man is lying. Tries not to cry and fails.

Tom bags it. Adds a screwdriver. Free.

"You know how to install it?"

The kid shakes his head...

They drive in Tom's truck. Don't talk. The kid directs him to a rundown duplex on the east side.

Upstairs apartment. Door frame cracked. Old lock broken, hanging loose.

Tom installs the deadbolt. Takes him fifteen minutes. Tests it. Solid.

Hands the kid both keys.

"Someone tries to get in, you call 911. You hear me?"

The kid nods.

Tom's halfway to his truck when he hears it, "Why?"

He turns around. The kid's standing in the doorway, backlit, holding those keys like they're made of gold.

"Why did you help me?"

Tom thinks about his own son. Twenty years ago. Different city. Same desperate eyes. Didn't make it.

"Because you asked," Tom says simply.

He drives home. Doesn't tell his wife. Doesn't think much about it.

Three weeks pass.

A woman comes into the store. Tired eyes but smiling. "Are you Tom?"

"Yes, Ma'am."

"My son told me about you. The lock you sold him." She's crying now. "His father, my ex-husband, he's not a good man. That lock kept us safe until I could get the restraining order. Until we could breathe."

She hands Tom an envelope. "It's not much. But it's the thirty dollars we owed you, plus a little more."

Tom tries to refuse. She won't let him.

"You didn't just sell him a lock," she says. "You saw him. You saw us. When we were invisible."

After she leaves, Tom opens the envelope. Sixty dollars. And a note from the kid:

"Installed three more locks for neighbors who needed them. Taught myself how...

"Going to trade school next year. Maybe I'll work in a hardware store someday. Be someone like you. -Marcus"

Tom's manager notices him crying by the register.

"You okay?"

"Yeah," Tom says. "Just... yeah."

That night, Tom stayed two minutes past closing. Then five. Then ten.

In case someone walks in at 5:58PM. Soaking wet. Desperate. Needing more than just a lock.

Tom learned something.

The last customer of the day may be the most important one we ever serve.

🔥 BRANDON GILL JUST WENT NUCLEAR ON ILHAN OMAR

Freshman congressman Brandon Gill meets Ilhan Omar on the House Budget Committee.

She storms up to him, screaming curse words and vulgarities because he tweeted that America would be better off if Ilhan Omar were deported. (LOVE IT)

Gill just stands there, takes it all in, and the only thing running through his head is.....man....

“Do you kiss your brother with that mouth?” 😂😂😂

This Is the Energy

✅ No fake smiles.
✅ No “respect the institution.”
✅ Straight savage truth to the face of the Squad’s favorite jihadi sympathizer.

Ilhan Omar can scream all she wants.

The American people are done pretending these clowns are normal.

Brandon Gill is only getting started. 🇺🇸🔥

The Democrat Party’s real structure:

Antifa = Military Wing
Media = Propaganda Wing
ActBlue = Laundering Wing
SPLC = Targeting Wing
Soros = Funding Wing
Colleges = Indoctrination Wing

This isn’t a political party.

It’s an organized crime syndicate.

TAXPAYER MONEY STOLEN FOR 26 STRAIGHT YEARS

Minnesota has funneled millions to “Advance Mobility Incorporated” since 1999.

The company has no office, no staff, no vehicles — it doesn’t exist.

Investigator Nick Shirley was confronted and chased out when he visited the fake address.

26 years of payments to a ghost company. This is blatant, long-term fraud.

Our tax dollars are being stolen in plain sight.

BREAKING: Marco Rubio just said the quiet part out loud.

Americans work 40+ years…

Pay taxes.
Follow the rules.
Build the country.

Then retire on $800, $900, maybe $1,000 a month.

Meanwhile, new arrivals can allegedly receive more support from the same system they never paid into.

Read that again.

The people who built America are being pushed to the back of the line.

This is not compassion.
This is a government priority problem.
America First was never just a slogan.
It was a warning.

Who comes first?

The taxpayer… or the system?

My Generation Is Blind to the Prosperity Around Us!
I'm sitting in a small coffee shop near Nokomis (Florida) trying to think of what to write about. I scroll through my newsfeed on my phone looking at the latest headlines of presidential candidates calling for policies to "fix" the so-called injustices of capitalism. I put my phone down and continue to look around.

I see people talking freely, working on their MacBook's, ordering food they get in an instant, seeing cars go by outside, and it dawned on me. We live in the most privileged time in the most prosperous nation and we've become completely blind to it.

Vehicles, food, technology, freedom to associate with whom we choose.These things are so ingrained in our American way of life we don't give them a second thought.

We are so well off here in the United States that our poverty line begins 31 times above the global average. Thirty One Times!!!

Virtually no one in the United States is considered poor by global standards. Yet, in a time where we can order a product off Amazon with one click and have it at our doorstep the next day, we are unappreciative, unsatisfied, and ungrateful. ??

Our unappreciation is evident as the popularity of socialist policies among my generation continues to grow. Congresswoman Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez recently said to Newsweek talking about the millennial generation, "An entire generation, which is now becoming one of the largest electorates in America, came of age and never saw American prosperity."

Never saw American prosperity! Let that sink in.

When I first read that statement, I thought to myself, that was quite literally the most entitled and factually illiterate thing I've ever heard in my 26 years on this earth. Many young people agree with her, which is entirely misguided.

My generation is being indoctrinated by a mainstream narrative to actually believe we have never seen prosperity. I know this first hand, I went to college, let's just say I didn't have the popular opinion, but I digress.

Why then, with all of the overwhelming evidence around us, evidence that I can even see sitting at a coffee shop, do we not view this as prosperity? We have people who are dying to get into our country.

People around the world destitute and truly impoverished. Yet, we have a young generation convinced they've never seen prosperity, and as a result, we elect some politicians who are dead set on taking steps towards abolishing capitalism.

Why? The answer is this,?? my generation has only seen prosperity. We have no contrast. We didn't live in the great depression, or live through two world wars, the Korean War, The Vietnam War or we didn't see the rise and fall of socialism and communism.

We don't know what it's like to live without the internet, without cars, without smartphones. We don't have a lack of prosperity problem. We have an entitlement problem, an ungratefulness problem, and it's spreading like a plague."
