If you want to fix NCAA football, you have to find a way to give us an intriguing matchup before the night slate in mid September!!! Today’s schedule is a complete embarrassment by the sport.
1986. Georgia farmer Leonard Hill walked out of his house 20 minutes before the bank auctioned his family’s five-generation farm. He never came back.
He took his own life, hoping insurance would cover $300,000 in drought debt. It didn’t. His 66-year-old widow Annabel was left to face the auction alone.
An Atlanta businessman started making calls. One reached a 40-year-old New York developer named Donald Trump.
Trump called the bank himself. When they said the foreclosure was happening, he told them he’d sue for wrongful death if they proceeded. The bank backed down.
Americans sent checks. It still wasn’t enough. Trump and a Texas oilman quietly covered the last $78,000. No press release. No cameras.
Annabel’s family still lives on that farm today.
The media never tells you this side of Trump.
A widow with no lobbyist got a phone call and $78,000 she never had to repay.
Remember that the next time they claim they already know everything about the man.

Remarkable statistic:

🚨WOW!!!
A Bronx pizzeria owner saw a woman eating out of his GARBAGE.
He walked outside, took her by the hand, led her in, and pulled a hot slice straight from the oven for her.
She sat down and cried. He said: "Don't cry. Eat. I don't want you eating out of a garbage." ❤️
His name is Daniel Romano.
He owns D'Romano's Pizza in the Throggs Neck section of the Bronx.
He didn't shoo her away.
"I grabbed her by the hand and I led her to the pizzeria and I went in the oven and I got her a fresh slice and gave it to her. Sat down and she started crying. I said, 'don't cry, eat. This is not a problem.'"
In that moment, he decided he'd never let it happen to anyone again.
So he grabbed a marker, wrote a sign by hand, and taped it in his window for the whole neighborhood to see:
"To the people eating out of my garbage, I have more love for you than you think. Please come in and tell me you're hungry. I will forever give you a slice and fresh water to drink."
When they asked him why, his answer was simple.
"Right now, I think this world is shot. There's too much hate. Too much negativity. Why not put a smile on someone's face?"
And it turns out this runs deep for Daniel.
It goes all the way back to his mother, Carmella.
"She had a saying in Italian. She used to say, 'a desperate person will always make a better decision on a full stomach than on an empty.'
"It always stuck with me. So I feed people."
A desperate person makes a better decision on a full stomach.
That handwritten sign has traveled way past the Bronx now.
Daniel says people are calling him from Texas, Arkansas, Hawaii, even Alaska, all wanting to chip in and buy slices for hungry strangers they'll NEVER MEET.
"Don't ask me, I didn't even know Alaska had a phone."
It all started with one slice.
One woman.
One man who did something kind.
GOD BLESS Daniel Romano. 🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸
