@JaniceDean Love you JD.

You are a treasure and I’m confident the next chapter will be Mostly Sunny too.

@KatTimpf I am so deeply sorry for all the trauma you have experienced. I will pray for your family and hope, in time, you can find joy knowing you gave your father such a beautiful gift on this side of Heaven in the joy of getting to know his grandchild. 🙏❤️
@karol If you love Jane Austen go to her home and Winchester. Cotswolds are beautiful. Bath is wonderful (historical, Thermae Bath Spa, Roman Baths, Sotto Sotto is divine).
@VigilantFox 2/2 and the irony is it came from a foreign account that many who promoted the fake quote would never support. More people need to think before they tweet.
@VigilantFox 1/2: Wonderful job spelling out the truth. When prominent voices perpetuate a lie it diminishes VALID debate. You don’t have to agree with either side to acknowledge the “quote” was not true. Not only that but the OG video was edited to leave out context and…
He didn’t have to.
But he did.
I love you Coach and I’ll carry your lessons with me always. Thank you for everything.
Welcome home good and faithful servant… reunited forever with Beth.
My prayers go out to Skip, Jennifer, and all who loved him.

Tonight I’m thinking about the legend I was fortunate to know. The National Championship coach who shared his wisdom and time with me.
Cathal Kelly, you absolute embarrassment of a Canadian columnist—sit the hell down, eh.
I’m a Canadian through and through. I love hockey more than my morning double-double. I was gutted when Team USA beat us in overtime for gold in Milan, but you know what? Those American kids earned every bit of it. They played their hearts out, won fair and square, and getting flown to the State of the Union, clapped into the Capitol, and celebrated by their whole country? Good on them. That’s sports, that’s pride, that’s awesome. I’m happy for the players.
But your headline? “The State of the Union was a zoo – and Team USA the monkeys”?
Jesus Murphy, Cathal. What in the actual fuck were you thinking?
You took a moment that should’ve been “yeah, it stings after we lost, but congrats to the champs” and turned it into the most childish, classless, sour-grapes garbage imaginable. Calling Olympic gold medalists “monkeys” in the national paper? That’s not sharp commentary. That’s not even decent trash talk. That’s the kind of low-brow, playground crap that makes every reasonable Canadian’s blood boil—because it makes all of us look like bitter, jealous assholes who can’t handle anyone else winning.
We already get enough “sore loser” jokes south of the border. You didn’t channel the natural hockey-rivalry salt into something clever or witty. You went straight to zoo noises like a drunk uncle ranting on Canada Day. Now Americans are screenshotting your lede, laughing their asses off, and we’re all stuck looking small and petty.
You didn’t represent the Canadian perspective. You embarrassed it. You embarrassed the game we love. You embarrassed every one of us who can cheer a rival’s success without melting down into monkey memes.
Next time you want to write about hockey or politics, maybe leave the animal insults in the reject pile and try a little dignity. Some of us actually love the game more than we hate losing.
Do better, Cathal. We’re better than this crap.
Now if you’ll excuse me, I’m going back to watching highlights from 2010 and pretending the Leafs aren’t cursed. Go Canada… but next time, do it with class.
@InezFeltscher My pediatrician also recommended Bamba - and my daughter doesn’t have an allergy and loved them too. Like Bethany said TJ’s usually has them for like $1.99. I’ve also found in European grocery stores.
@BethMooreLPM I was there. It was such a blessing. Thank you (and your team) for making the trip. I’m excited to watch it again so I can soak it all in. I especially appreciated the juxtaposition of 1 Cor 13 and 2 Tim 3. As someone who works in media I think about that a lot.
Two years. Two years passed since the last moment I saw Avinatan, the love of my life. Two years since the moment terrorists kidnapped us, put me on a motorcycle, and tore me away from Avinatan before the eyes of the entire world.
From that moment, our journey in captivity was separated. I was held captive with children, women, and the elderly, while Avinatan was held alone. I was mostly kept inside houses, while Avinatan was only in the tunnels. Hamas released videos and signs of life from me, while there was no information at all about Avinatan. I was held captive by Hamas for 246 days, while Avinatan was held for 738 days. I came back in a heroic rescue operation, and Avinatan returned in a deal.
But both of us, against all odds, came home and were reunited!
I cannot put into words the range of emotions I felt when I saw him for the first time after so long. Each of us faced death countless times, and yet, after two years apart, we are finally taking our first steps together again in the State of Israel.
At last, we can begin our healing together. The recovery will be long; we still haven’t truly processed what has happened here over these past two years. But we won. We won our personal war, and the war of all those who fought alongside us to reach this moment. And now, the time has come to begin our shared journey together.
I want to say a huge thank you, first and foremost, to the @IDF soldiers and security forces who have been fighting for so long and risk their lives for us every single day. Thank you to our family, friends, and to the people of Israel, Am
Yisrael, who raised their voices when we couldn’t speak. To the people around the world who embraced us, to all the incredible individuals who supported us through the hardest times and never lost hope throughout this long period. To the US government, which opened its doors to me and was always there to listen, especially @SEPeaceMissions Steve Witkoff, @jaredkushner, and the exceptional, President @realDonaldTrump.
To all the people who too stood beside our hostages and understood that light must overcome darkness.
We will never forget the fallen and the murdered, and we will not stop fighting until every fallen soldier and hostage is brought home for a proper burial in Israel.
Thank you, thank you, thank you!
This could never have happened without you.
We are back ❤️
@gatorgar Yes! Just go. The right church will welcome you with open arms and you’ll just know you’re home. It may take a few tries. If I knew what area you are in that could help people give advice. But you can Google churches in your area and often people will say if it’s welcoming.
Even if you didn’t agree with him on the issues…he wasn’t nasty about it. I don’t know why God allowed Charlie to die. My heart breaks for his loved ones & his children who barely knew their dad. I really don’t know what else to say other than that & I’m praying the hate ends.
To work in journalism, you often have to sideline personal feelings…you can’t survive otherwise. Tonight, I have shed so many tears, I often produced segments when Charlie Kirk came on my shows. He was insightful and kind…traits many in the media fail to possess.
