Does anyone else find it odd that $200 billion is spent on cancer research every single year...and the only thing to show for it is a 75% increase in cancer deaths since the 1990s?

"This press conference is solely for those pieces of sh*t who are right there!"

Marion County Sheriff Billy Woods exploded on a reporter who ignored the subject of his press conference -- a sting conducted to capture child sex offenders -- and asked about an unrelated case.

“At my direction, the United States Southern Command delivered a swift and lethal kinetic strike to successfully execute Niño Guerrero, the infamous leader of Tren De Aragua, one of the most bloodthirsty Terrorist Organizations on Planet Earth.” - President DONALD J. TRUMP 🇺🇸

I will be putting forward a resolution to void the fraudulent impeachment of President Trump during his first term in office.

Russia collusion never happened. This has been proven by evidence released by ODNI Gabbard. It was a terrible lie that tore this country apart, and was plotted by a weaponized intelligence agency under Obama. There is no monetary value that can be assigned to the damage this lie caused. It destroyed families’ relationships with one another, our country’s comradery, and our relationship with another nuclear super power (Russia) that could have resulted in war. Thank goodness the admin has started to restore that relationship, but HISTORY should reflect what actually transpired.

Don’t worry about Elon becoming rich with his own money.

Worry about politicians becoming rich with your money.

Elon Musk's companies employ roughly 170,000 people.

AOC drove Amazon out of New York, killing 40,000 jobs.

One creates. The other destroys.

They are not the same.

The hardware store closes at 6PM.. It's 5:58 when a kid walks in. The kid can't be more than sixteen. Soaking wet and shaking from the rain...

"We're closing." Tom says.

"Please. I just need a lock. For a door."

Something in the kid's voice. Terror. Desperation.

"What kind of lock?"

"I don't know. Just one that keeps people out."

The kid's got a black eye. Fresh. The kind that's still swelling.

Tom doesn't ask. Just walks to aisle seven. Shows him the locks. The kid reaches for the cheapest one, $8.99.

"That one's garbage," Tom says, "Won't stop anyone determined."

He hands him a deadbolt. Heavy duty. $34.99.

The kid's face crumbles. "I only have twelve dollars."

They stand there. Store empty except for them.

Tom takes the deadbolt to the register. Rings it up. "Twelve dollars."

"But,"

"Sale price. Today only."

The kid knows there's no sale. Knows this old man is lying. Tries not to cry and fails.

Tom bags it. Adds a screwdriver. Free.

"You know how to install it?"

The kid shakes his head...

They drive in Tom's truck. Don't talk. The kid directs him to a rundown duplex on the east side.

Upstairs apartment. Door frame cracked. Old lock broken, hanging loose.

Tom installs the deadbolt. Takes him fifteen minutes. Tests it. Solid.

Hands the kid both keys.

"Someone tries to get in, you call 911. You hear me?"

The kid nods.

Tom's halfway to his truck when he hears it, "Why?"

He turns around. The kid's standing in the doorway, backlit, holding those keys like they're made of gold.

"Why did you help me?"

Tom thinks about his own son. Twenty years ago. Different city. Same desperate eyes. Didn't make it.

"Because you asked," Tom says simply.

He drives home. Doesn't tell his wife. Doesn't think much about it.

Three weeks pass.

A woman comes into the store. Tired eyes but smiling. "Are you Tom?"

"Yes, Ma'am."

"My son told me about you. The lock you sold him." She's crying now. "His father, my ex-husband, he's not a good man. That lock kept us safe until I could get the restraining order. Until we could breathe."

She hands Tom an envelope. "It's not much. But it's the thirty dollars we owed you, plus a little more."

Tom tries to refuse. She won't let him.

"You didn't just sell him a lock," she says. "You saw him. You saw us. When we were invisible."

After she leaves, Tom opens the envelope. Sixty dollars. And a note from the kid:

"Installed three more locks for neighbors who needed them. Taught myself how...

"Going to trade school next year. Maybe I'll work in a hardware store someday. Be someone like you. -Marcus"

Tom's manager notices him crying by the register.

"You okay?"

"Yeah," Tom says. "Just... yeah."

That night, Tom stayed two minutes past closing. Then five. Then ten.

In case someone walks in at 5:58PM. Soaking wet. Desperate. Needing more than just a lock.

Tom learned something.

The last customer of the day may be the most important one we ever serve.

Funny how we’re supposed to be outraged by a man becoming a trillionaire, but not by politicians who become millionaires on government salaries.

Wrong target.

John Thune is lying.

He needs 50 votes plus VP Vance to pass the Save America Act.

All he needs to do is force a “Talking Filibuster”.

No Senate rule changes.
No nuking the Filibuster.

He isn’t powerless.
He doesn’t need to find votes.

He needs to not be a traitor.

Truth.

I give zero fucks that the Knicks won, and that’s how I feel about any NBA team. There was a time I let that horrendously rigged league control my emotions, but LeBron ruined the sport for me and I’m glad.
