@SymoneDSanders I’m afraid we’re all going to have to multitask this one. Egregious behavior by a president doesn’t obviate legitimate concerns about other candidates.

BREAKING: Rep. Pat Ryan just got the House Armed Services Committee UNANIMOUSLY to force Pete Hegseth to explain every senior military firing within the next 5 days. Hegseth has fired 24+ officers without cause or explanation. Even Republicans want answers.

There’s been a lot of talk in this race about what makes a "real man."

A man does what’s right when no one is watching. He upholds his commitments to his family and neighbors. He doesn’t lie, cheat, & steal his way through life.

Real men serve others. Weak men serve themselves.

The last time the Knicks had a lead in the NBA Finals was June 17th, 1994.

Yes, the same day as this:

@brindaadhikari You last sentence captures it all. A teacher with integrity. That didn't cave to the weak and unqualified lemmings given the keys to the car. Thank goodness he won't be around for the wreck.

@PanasonicDX4500 Crazy I know, but I'm starting to think that maybe it wasn't about the suit color.

“He was a German oil executive in occupied Poland. She was his wife, hiding Jewish children in their home. They didn’t start as heroes. They started as parents who saw other parents’ children being dragged into trucks—and decided that witnessing evil was not enough.”

In August 1942, Berthold Beitz, a 28‑year‑old German businessman, stood outside a Jewish orphanage in Boryslaw, Poland, and watched SS soldiers empty the building. Children were torn from their beds, crying for parents who had already disappeared. That night, Berthold went home to his wife Else and their young daughter. He told her what he had seen. Then he said two simple words: “We have to do something.” Nothing in his background—a banker, an oil executive, a former member of Nazi youth organizations—had prepared him for resistance. But once he saw the faces of children who reminded him of his own, he could not look away.

Berthold managed an oil field deemed critical to Germany’s war effort. He used his position to grant “essential worker” status to Jews who had no connection to oil—a tailor, a hairdresser, a scholar. A signature on a piece of paper could mean the difference between life and death. He signed again and again. When deportation trains arrived, he walked directly to the platform, argued with SS officers, and demanded the release of entire families. Sometimes he succeeded. Meanwhile, Else turned their home into a refuge, hiding Jewish children in closets and basements, feeding them, protecting them. The penalty was death. They did it anyway.

The danger escalated. In 1943, forged documents traced back to Berthold, and he faced investigation. He denied involvement and managed to avoid arrest, but the risk never faded. Every knock on the door could be the Gestapo. Yet the Beitz family continued for the rest of the war. By 1945, they had helped save approximately 800 Jewish lives—men, women, and children who would have perished. Most of the survivors never forgot the German couple who chose compassion over complicity. After the war, Berthold became one of Germany’s most influential industrialists, advising presidents and prime ministers. But he rarely spoke of his wartime actions. When pressed, he simply said: “When you see innocent people being killed, and you have children of your own, your response becomes impossible to ignore.”

In 1973, Yad Vashem recognized Berthold and Else Beitz as Righteous Among the Nations. The survivors they saved have multiplied into thousands of descendants—entire generations who exist because two people refused to turn away. Else died in 2014, Berthold in 2013, just weeks before his 100th birthday. They did not seek fame or medals. They sought something simpler: to look at themselves in the mirror and know they had done what was right.

The Beitz family’s story is a quiet thunderclap. It teaches us that heroism is not about grand plans or powerful weapons. It is about a husband and wife who, in the middle of the darkest regime in history, said “we have to do something”—and then did it, one signature, one hidden child, one pulled‑off‑the‑train at a time. As Berthold himself once reflected: “You don’t have to save the whole world. You just have to save the person in front of you. And if enough people do that, the world gets saved anyway.” Share this if you believe that the courage to act begins with the refusal to look away.

This has quietly been a miracle month in medicine.

In the last 5 weeks we’ve got news on:

- retatrutide, the triple agonist GLP-1 from Lilly, basically melting fat and body-wide inflammation at record levels
- RevMed’s new pancreatic cancer drug showing unprecedented abilities to extend life
- small trial of a one-and-done PCSK9 gene editing therapy for slashing LDL cholesterol
- Mayo’s AI-assisted radiology showing vastly improved cancer detection
- this new therapy for metastatic solid tumors

This stuff is at varying levels of evidence. Retatrutide is ~100% on its way, other stuff needs more clinical trial data. But put it together and we’re maybe on the verge of majorly reducing the mortality of heart disease and cancer, the two leading causes of death in America.

Talarico is the son Maga Christians say they raise.

His girlfriend is the all American girl they say they want their sons to marry.

Meanwhile, Ken Paxton & Scott Presler are the sinners & freaks they warn their kids to stay away from.

Maga Christians are such hypocrites

When a President’s physicians start citing “AI cardiac age” metrics and explaining bilateral bruising from “frequent handshaking,” the line between medical documentation and political messaging disappears.
