A 17 year old was called into the office at school and told to REMOVE the American flag from his truck.
He refused.
The next day students filled the school with American flags.
God bless America.

I have the worst news…
Sadly, 29-year-old Chris DeLong, a police officer in Columbia SC, father of 2 and husband, has been k*lled in the line of duty.
He was responding to a call involving a violent, repeat offender who was arrested across 3 states.
His widow is devastated.
In her words:
“i can't find the energy to respond to everyone right now. i'm living a nightmare. this will be the last post I'll be making for until I can understand what I am going through.
I am heart broken. My person. My love. The best dad to our babies and the person I've been with since I was 16 was killed today in the line of duty.
someone's selfish decisions took away the one person I loved and i knew I would always have, and my babies now have to grow up with their daddy.
i can't process this. i want to wake up from this. I can't respond to everyone but i needed to take a minute to update everyone.
I'm going through every stage of grief while also still remembering there's two babies having to go through this as well.
I'm pissed. I'm heartbroken. I'm everything. Somebody wake me up. I've never had to be without Chris.
I'm going to figure this out because I have to live for my babies. I am not okay. I need Chris. I need my person. I need him!! I love you Chris. I need you.”
Please pray for her and Chris’s kids… I cannot imagine what they are going through.
🚨 BREAKING: Columbia, SC police officer SHOT AND KILLED in the line of duty.
Officer Christopher DeLong, 29.
Wife. Two young kids.
He responded to a domestic call. Woman had a restraining order. Suspect was destroying her house.
They found him at a park. Gunfight.
DeLong is dead.
Officer David Dymock is wounded.
Suspect Adam Dowdy — rap sheet in FOUR STATES — is dead.
A restraining order didn’t stop him.
A 29-year-old cop did.
This is the job. This is the cost.
Pray for the officer and his family.
As Tuskegee University implements a strict new dress code, its president and CEO is responding to critics who argue the measures go too far.
Ret. Maj. Gen. Mark Brown detailed the HBCU's "unapologetic" new policy, which will require suits for business meetings and ban du-rags and other non-religious headwear from the classroom.
“We are a university of standards. I believe all of higher education should be a university of standards,” Brown tells Fox News Digital.
Something I did not realize at first: Lindsay Clancy was never diagnosed with postpartum depression or psychosis. These diagnoses have only been applied to her during this trial.
Nobody made Chad Doerman a mental-health cause.
June 15, 2023, Ohio. He shot his sons, ages 3, 4, and 7, wounded their mother, pleaded guilty, and received three consecutive life sentences.
He told police about “bad thoughts” and needing help. Asked if he’d struggled with mental illness, he said, “I don’t know.” The defense raised insanity. Experts said he still knew it was wrong.
Where were the “system failed him” posts? Those appear only when the story is useful.
Murder is murder and should be treated harshly in all cases.
🚨#BREAKING: A Minnesota mother, Bonnie Pierce, escaped her burning house only to realize her toddler was still inside…
...and she ran BACK into the flames.
Firefighters found her wrapped around her baby girl, shielding her with her own body. ❤️
Her daughter, SURVIVED, she saved her life.
Her name is Bonnie Pierce, she was 38, a mom from St. Paul, Minnesota.
On Saturday afternoon, a fire broke out in the duplex where she was home with two of her daughters.
One of the girls, Aurora, did something incredible to save herself.
She kicked an air conditioning unit clean out of a window and climbed through it to safety.
And Bonnie made it out too.
She was OUT. She was safe.
But her other little girl, Grace, still just a toddler, was somewhere back inside that burning building.
Her mother, Bonnie, didn't think twice.
She turned around and ran back into the fire.
When firefighters fought their way in, they found her.
She had wrapped her own body around her daughter, shielding that little girl from the flames and the smoke with everything she had left.
Protecting her baby to the very end.
Bonnie was found unresponsive, she'd been without oxygen for nearly 15 minutes.
She had burns over 48% of her body.
First responders and doctors fought for her with everything they had.
But on Monday, Bonnie passed away from her injuries.
Little Grace, the daughter she shielded with her own body… SURVIVED.
She's still in the hospital. But doctors say she is expected to make a FULL recovery.
That is a mother's love.
Her home is now covered in flowers and chalk writing from friends that say "HERO" everywhere.
Please keep Bonnie's family and both of her little girls in your prayers.
GOD BLESS Bonnie Pierce. 🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸
