So I have a sweet story for you! My neighbor is never home (maybe 1 hour a day to feed his golden retriever), so I asked if his dog Ranger could visit. His daily visits have become my little dachshund Freddie and Ranger’s highlight of the day. Everyday Ranger barks one loud bark to let us know he’s ready to come over. He has done this every day for almost 2 years, and he spends about 6 hours playing at our house daily.
A gorilla who hadn’t seen a man for 35 years ran toward him, after remembering he was the one who saved him from poachers.
David was part of a rescue team that raided a poaching site deep in the Congo, where several gorillas had been taken and kept in terrible conditions.
Some were too weak to survive.
But one baby gorilla did.
When David stepped close, the little gorilla ran straight to him, wrapped around his leg, and refused to let go. David prepared a bottle of milk, picked him up, and held him like a baby who had just lost everything.
After that, the baby was taken to a sanctuary, and David visited whenever he could.
But the war against poachers never stopped.
For years, David kept working in other regions, and life pulled him away from the gorilla he never forgot. By the time he finally returned, 35 years had passed, and he thought there was no way the animal would remember him.
Then he stepped into the sanctuary. The gorilla saw him and ran toward him. People nearby froze, thinking he was charging, but David knew before anyone else did.
It wasn’t anger. It was recognition. The gorilla reached him, wrapped his massive arms around him, and pulled him close the same way David had held him as a baby.
David just let it happen. Because after 35 years, that gorilla wasn’t seeing a stranger. He was seeing the first human who ever made him feel safe.
🔥 AWESOME! The BRITISH MILITARY just did a flyover here in DC blasting RED, WHITE, AND BLUE SMOKE to honor America’s 250th Birthday
They even flew over the Washington Nationals baseball game
God bless America! 🇺🇸
Georgia is proud to join in the nationwide celebration of America's 250th birthday by participating in the Great American State Fair.
Stop by the Peach State's exhibit and experience our southern hospitality. You'll have plenty of reasons to keep Georgia on your mind!
I now understand the American dream.
I came to the World Cup because I was offered a last minute ticket to watch England play Croatia in Dallas and I started documenting my journey.
The content went viral on social media. So much so, the President of the United States saw it himself.
I was invited to attend the grand opening of the great American state fair for freedom 250 and halfway through Donald Trumps speech, I was told to come and wait back stage for a photograph.
This sort of thing could only happen in America.
As an Englishman I never really understood what America has to make it “the land of opportunity”
But results speak for themselves.
A touching video shows a father helping his blind son follow the Portugal vs. Uzbekistan match by using a football board and guiding his hands through every play. I pray Ronaldo sees this. ❤️
What I've learned from World Cup travelers this week.
- Apparently the US is the only country with A/C
- Other countries don't use seasoning on their food
- You can only buy a gallon of milk in the USA
- You have to pay for a 2nd or 3rd pop at a restaurant outside of America. No free refills
- They love to party just like us and boy are they fun!
- Only we do flyovers before games
- America's spring is hotter than Europe's summer
-We have a lot to learn when it comes to soccer chants
- Ranch Dressing is a delicacy to be treasured
- Their media lies to them just like ours does to us
Can we keep em?
In December 2015, 15-year-old Zaevion Dobson, a Fulton High School football player from Knoxville, Tennessee, made a decision most people could never imagine.
He was with friends when gunfire suddenly erupted during a drive-by shooting. In that terrifying moment, Dobson had only seconds to react. He could have run.
He could have tried to save himself. Instead, he threw his body over the girls beside him, shielding them from the bullets.
The girls survived. Zaevion did not.
His final act turned a teenage football player into a national symbol of courage. In 2016, Dobson was posthumously honored with the Arthur Ashe Courage Award at the ESPYS, becoming one of the youngest recipients ever.
Fulton High School later retired his No. 24 jersey, ensuring that his name would never be remembered only for how he died, but for how he chose to protect others in his final moments.
Zaevion Dobson was only 15 years old, but his courage carried the weight of a lifetime.
We stopped at the dispensary for the grown up gummy candy the human eats for phantom pain.
I'm super excited because this means she is gonna want snacks. Many snacks. And she'll be less moody and will share more snacks with me. Everyone wins!
🎥 Me. Super happy to carry her bag home.

Thank you and all the Japanese supporters for sharing your traditions with me! 🇯🇵
This World Cup is all about spreading culture and miracles 🙌🌎 #JameisOnFox
🚨 NOW: Americans are noticing that Japanese World Cup fans are doing MASS CLEANUPS of AMERICAN STADIUMS after the match
"In Japan, we are taught to clean up in school"
Thug cultures destroy and ravage, others clean and build!
This is why we LOVE JAPAN! PURE CLASS ACT! 🇺🇸🇯🇵
@Sneketoshi@halving_fun Steve's sketches are wonderful

@EricLDaugh I love it! He is the man! And don't forget what's even more proof that the late night and later days' ballots were fraudulent!They want you to believe that LA County people voted to increase their taxes when the proposal was initially going down in defeat!

@EricLDaugh If I was an LA resident who feels my candidate was cheated out of the primary, I'm showing up on election day and writing their name in on the ballot.
