He didn't break the law out of greed. He broke it out of love. Standing in court, head in his hands, shivering in an orange jumpsuit, he looked like just another criminal facing fraud charges. But the file on the judge's desk told a different story. He'd written a bad check for thousands of dollars. Not for a new car or a vacation, but at a pharmacy counter. When the insurance company denied his mother's life-saving medication, panic took over. He knew the check would bounce, but he also knew it was the only way to get the medicine she needed to survive the week. Now, he faced prison time for that desperation. And as he stood there weeping, his only thought wasn't about jail, but about who would take care of her if he was gone. He braced himself for sentencing. But the judge didn't bring down his gavel. In a moment that stunned the entire room, she stood, leaned across the bench, and wrapped her arms around him. She didn't see a con artist; she saw a loving son pushed to the brink. Holding his face in her hands, she looked him in the eye and delivered the life-changing verdict: 'It's over. I'm dropping the charges. You deserve a second chance, and I believe you can take advantage of it.' She didn't just give him back his freedom; she gave him the challenge of going home, taking care of his family, and making this mercy matter. Sometimes, justice isn't just about punishment. It's about understanding. Do you think the judge made the right decision by looking at the 'why' instead of just the 'what'?
Of course ABC doesn’t fact check Harris’s accusation that Trump said “fine people on both sides” about Charlottesville. Trump’s statement was about whether statues should be taken down.
ABC is awful.
Bryson DeChambeau has a new set of 3D printed irons in his bag this week that cost roughly 10k to produce a one off set. They have a more forgiving face bulge allowing off centre hits to fly straighter and were only approved by the USGA on Tuesday.
You have to admire his motivation to continuously push boundaries of technology and swing mechanics. He does it his own way and his own way is leading the Masters 👊
Harvard Business School and Harvard Medical School have aggressively and effectively addressed issues raised by Hamas terror and subsequent anti-Semitic speech. The Harvard University response is not nearly as strong. This is very unfortunate at a time of moral crisis.

This is Shlomo Ron. When Hamas terrorists invaded his home in Kibbutz Nahal Oz, this 85-year-old frail man had a plan.
He left his wife, daughters and grandson in the shelter, and went to sit in his living room, waiting for his death. He figured that when terrorists break in they will see him, execute the lonely old man, and move on. He was right.
He’s a hero who sacrificed himself for the people he loves. May be rest in peace.
This is Captain Yuval, an infantry commander in the Nahal Brigade. On Saturday morning, as soon as she heard about the horrors taking place, she ran out of her home with her gun in her pajamas.
She reports there were dead bodies all over the road, and that at some point, a group of terrorists on motorcycles drive towards her, and she empties a whole magazine on them killing two. She's calling her boss Colonel Steinberg, but he's been killed. Same with other commanders she tries reaching - all gone.
She located Captain Ron, and together they understand that only they are left to conduct this battle. They find a friend's house nearby, open up a war room, and begin directing the forces on the ground. Before most of us even woke up and understood what is happening, these two young captains were directing commandos and fighter pilots, and eliminated 22 terrorists, preventing them from taking control of two outposts. In their pajamas.
They are still out there fighting. We are in good hands!

Instead, Harvard is being defined by the morally unconscionable statement apparently coming from two dozen student groups blaming all the violence on Israel. I am sickened. I cannot fathom the Administration’s failure to disassociate the University and condemn this statement.
Ahmad Yar served with US military for years as an interpreter. Probably helped save US troops lives. Senseless.
His family should be honored and taken care of. https://t.co/q8BW1SKY7M
