Talent gets you there.
Process keeps you there.

Nick Saban said it best:
“You must focus on the things that have made us good all season long.”

Championship teams don't chase the moment.
They live the process.

[Coach Tony Miller @tonywmiller]

The best coaches are comfortable with some chaos in practice.

If your practice looks perfectly organized, clean, and mistake-free, your constraints are too easy. You're building robots, not basketball players.

Embrace the mess. That’s where the actual learning happens.

We constantly hear about social security running out of money.

Why don't we ever hear about welfare running out of money?

Obama made Americans get health insurance, or you paid a fine.

Biden made people inject an experimental shot, or they lost their jobs.

Tell me again how Trump is a fascist dictator…

[Mr PitBull Stories @MrPitbull07]

For 20 years, students at a strict Catholic school in Los Angeles feared their calculus teacher.

Then they discovered where he spent three nights every week.

His name was Jim O’Connor.

Former Navy veteran.
Math teacher.
Relentlessly demanding in the classroom.

At St. Francis High School, students knew him as the teacher who never accepted excuses.

Discipline mattered.
Effort mattered.
Precision mattered.

Nobody would have described him as soft.

Then one day in 1989, a friend asked Jim to donate blood at Children’s Hospital Los Angeles.

He had Type O-negative blood — the universal donor type.

He gave once.

Then he kept coming back.

Over time, hospital staff noticed something else about him.

After donating blood, Jim would stay.

He learned about a small volunteer group that cared for infants who were sick, abandoned, withdrawing from drugs, or simply alone for long stretches of time.

Babies who needed to be held.

So Jim signed up.

Three days a week.
For 20 years.

After finishing work at school, he’d drive to the hospital, walk into the neonatal ward, pick up whichever baby needed comfort most, and quietly rock them to sleep.

He fed them.
Walked the halls with them late at night.
Sang softly to them.
Held them against his chest for hours.

Nurses said he could calm even the fussiest infants.

And he never told anyone at school.

Not coworkers.
Not students.
Nobody.

For two decades, the toughest teacher on campus spent his evenings comforting fragile newborns in dark hospital rooms.

Then a group of students organizing a blood drive visited the hospital.

The moment they mentioned St. Francis High School, hospital staff lit up.

“Do you know Jim O’Connor?”

The students were confused.

Then they saw the plaque listing the hospital’s top blood donors.

At the very top was their calculus teacher’s name.

Jim O’Connor had donated 72 gallons of blood.

And volunteered with infants for 20 years without ever mentioning it.

When reporters later asked why he kept it secret for so long, Jim looked genuinely confused by the question.

“I wasn’t hiding it,” he said.

“I just didn’t think it was anybody else’s business.”

That’s probably why the story still moves people.

Because real kindness rarely announces itself.

Sometimes the people who seem hardest on the outside are carrying the softest hearts in complete silence.

And sometimes the most extraordinary things a person does are the things they never felt the need to tell anyone about.

You have to be 16 to drive.
You have to be 18 to vote.
You have to be 21 to drink.
You have to be 25 to rent a car.

Why are teachers talking to our kids about sexuality at 12?

Why are kids encouraged to mutilate their bodies at 13?

This gender ideology madness needs to end.

[Old School Eddie @Old_SchoolEddie]

Jesus gives a sobering warning in Matthew 7:23.

He says many will stand before Him one day claiming to have done great things in His name, only to hear, "I never knew you. Depart from me, you who practice lawlessness."

This hits especially hard for churches today that have traded clear biblical truth for popular woke cultural ideas.

When we bend Scripture to fit the latest worldly trends instead of standing on God's Word, we risk leading people away from the real Jesus.

True faith is not about chasing what feels right or sounds loving to the world.

It is about knowing Christ and obeying Him from the heart.

Churches must return to teaching the full Bible with love and courage, calling people to repentance and holy living.

If your church has drifted, there is still time for them to come back... or for you to find a new church.

[Greg Berge @GregBerge]

Great teams don’t make excuses.
They make adjustments.

No…

“Yeah, but the refs…”
“Yeah, but they’re more talented…”
“Yeah, but we were tired…”

Accountability starts when the excuses stop.

[Mike Bales 🫡🇺🇸 @MikeBales]

We didn’t debate whether to stand, we stood. Hand on heart every morning because people died for that flag and our teachers made sure we never forgot. 🇺🇸

[Rodney Smith Jr @iamrodneysmith]

Dear @WhiteHouse, my name is Rodney Smith Jr., founder of Raising Men & Women Lawn Care Service in Huntsville, Alabama. Through our 50 Yard Challenge, over 6,000 kids across the country have signed up to mow free lawns for the elderly, disabled, veterans, active-duty military, first responders, and single parents. With America celebrating its 250th birthday this year and me also being born on July 4th, I wanted to humbly ask if a few kids from our program and myself could travel to Washington, D.C. to help mow the White House lawn for this historic celebration.

More than anything, I want these kids to see how a simple act of service something as ordinary as mowing a lawn for someone in need can lead to extraordinary places. What better lesson in community service than showing them that helping others can take them all the way to our nation’s capital? I’d also love to bring my American flag-themed mower in hopes that the President might sign it, so I can later auction it off and donate 100% of the proceeds to a nonprofit supporting veterans. It would be a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to highlight the importance of service, patriotism, and the impact young people can have when they choose to make a difference. 🇺🇸

[THE Q STORM @e3z9b_qI1ytkw]

I used to believe that Donald Trump was simply an exceptional president.

But then, I watched in real time as the Mainstream Media (mainstream media), the FBI, intelligence agencies, the CIA, Big Tech, and the entire Washington establishment joined forces in an unprecedented campaign to destroy a single man.

The numerous lawsuits, the two impeachments, the endless hoaxes including the Russia one, the Mar-a-Lago raid, the gag orders, the efforts to remove him from the ballot, the attempts to bankrupt him and throw him in prison... all of that was aimed at preventing him from returning to power. Two attempts on his life followed.

With 92% of media coverage being negative toward him while 78% of that for Kamala was positive, he managed to secure a convincing victory in the last election. How do you explain that?

That's when it became undeniable for me: no one faces this level of coordinated and hysterical opposition unless they represent a true existential threat to the system... The system we all know is corrupt and broken. Ordinary politicians don't trigger this kind of coordinated panic.

At that moment, I stopped thinking of him as a great president.

He is the greatest of all time.

🚨 JUST NOW: New Jersey Democrats have made a stunning decision to nominate an ISLAMIC TERRORIST-linked candidate for US Congress, Adam Hamawy (D) WINS the primary...

...he was associated with Omar Abdel-Rahman, convicted of TERRORISM and seditious CONSPIRACY in 1996 🤯

"Prosecutors said it was Rahman, who led the jihadi terror cell of Islamic militants, who in November of 1990, assassinated extremist rabbi, Maya Kahane, as he spoke at a Manhattan hotel."

"Then three years later, in 1993, the sheikh and his cell bombed the World Trade Center to try and bring it down. But that attack killed six people, injured more than 1,000."

"And two years later, the sheikh and his terror cell plotted to blow up New York City landmarks. Rahman was sentenced to life in prison and died behind bars nine years ago. Turns out that Hamawy testified at the blind sheikh's terrorist trial as a defense witness, according to published report transcripts."

The Democrats are becoming the party of ISLAMIC TERROR. He is a national security risk.

TEXAS SENATE RACE: Recorded sermon catches James Talarico (CIS) comparing unborn children to tapeworms & parasites who should have no legal rights. He claims Christianity is a 'feminist religion' that justifies abortion. This is the 'moderate' Democrat preacher running for Senate. Just say no.
