After heart surgery, the parents of a 13-year-old girl were told that their daughter was dying, and that they should start making end-of-life decisions, including donating her organs.
Upon transferring their daughter to another hospital however, they were told that doctors at Oregon Health and Science University had installed her new heart valve upside down.
“Doctors at Seattle Children's removed the inverted valve and replaced it with a different one, properly positioned. Her heart promptly began to function correctly. She was successfully taken off cardiac bypass and no longer required ECMO.
Her condition continued to stabilize over the following days in Seattle Children's ICU. After more than a month in critical condition, she was able to return home with her parents.”
When I was the Air Force Military Aide to Bill Clinton (and again, that was not a political appointee position, it was a military assignment), I served daily with very young staffers who were appointed because of their efforts in the campaign or who their parents were.
I really enjoyed interacting with most of them. Bright kids from Ivy League school. But their naïveté and lack of experience showed. Dramatically.
One day I was walking across the White House “campus,” the “18 acres,” and I encountered one of the young female staffers. We chatted for a bit, and she asked me, “So, why did you join the military? Were your career options limited or were you forced to by a judge?”
I wanted to throat punch her, but I said, “No, ma’am, I volunteered.”
She asked, “But why? Lack of education? No other options?”
“No, ma’am, I volunteered. Really. Not only do I have a Bachelor’s but also an MBA.”
She asked again, “Then why?”
I shook my head and walked away. They simply can’t understand a higher calling. They are incapable of understanding that another human who would selflessly serve.
Therein lies much of the Democrat vs. military disconnect. They’re missing the patriotism chip.
Sadly, a few years later, Temar encountered legal trouble. In 2016, he pleaded guilty to armed robbery and was sentenced to 40 months to 10 years in prison. Fans and community members on Reddit expressed mixed emotions: admiration for his earlier act and concern over how life’s challenges may have led him astray.

@MikeBales Boy do I remember that thing as well as the band saw!
We grew up in an era of self responsibility not coddling days like now. You use that slicer and clip your finger off to the nurses office.
A 13 year old boy in South Carolina defended his family and home when he shot and killed an armed intruder.
The teen noticed a vehicle pull up to his house and a man trying to force entry. He got his mother’s gun and open fired. Lamar Brown, age 31, was shot 3 times.
Then the teen continued to fire at the get away car in his driveway. The other thief Ira Bennett was arrested and charged with burglary.
No charges were filed against the teen since he was protecting his home and family.
Bravo for this young man.

How many more young White boys get taken from their family before America wakes up?
Media blackout, open borders, soft-on-crime bullshit, and “diversity” flooding White areas….
This stops when we stop importing and tolerating it.
Deport them all.
Hey Chicago Bears Fans,
Your blood is about to boil reading this:
I just did some research. The state of Illinois has spent over $2.5 BILLION on free benefits for illegals last year.
At the same time Illinois Governor @JBPritzker was telling the Bears there’s “no money” for tax relief on a new stadium.
Let that sink in.
For $2.5 billion the state of Illinois could have PAID for a new stadium for the Chicago Bears.
Instead, they spent it paying for lavish benefits for aliens, while running a $3 billion deficit and losing a franchise they've had for over 100 years.
This is what Democrat priorities look like. They hate you and will destroy your state for power.
If my message can get to this young man I’d say never give up on your dreams. Start with small steps towards the next to obtain your goals
I started shining shoes at age 12 at the barber shop where us kids got our hair cut. That experience helped me to become a very successful businessman by applying the simple principle of one job at a time.
🚨Unions would hate for everyone to see this.... Did you know if you work for a public sector union you have the right to opt out of the union? Lets make sure everyone in America knows this.
@GenFlynn Trust me General, Michigan has turned to shit in many areas especially in Lansing! 70 years I’ve been here sir and I’ve seen it fall to ruins.
Judge John J. McConnell:
Do you have any words for the innocent Americans killed or harmed because politicians distorted immigration policy and accepted the risks to citizens as a political tradeoff? Anything?
Or is your judgment and compassion reserved only for what aligns with your ideology and blind loyalty to party?
My daughter Katie is dead at the hands of an illegal immigrant who should never have been here.
And ABC News, we are still waiting for you to contact our family about Katie’s life and death instead of telling this immigration story from only one side.
Selective judgment and selective compassion should be exposed as unacceptable and even from judges.
Katie should not have been sacrificed to political ideology. She was more than collateral damage.
This is not justice. It is disgraceful.
