In December 2007, a Barcelona newspaper ran a charity raffle to pick a local baby for a UNICEF calendar shoot.
The winning family brought their 5-month-old son.
The 20-year-old Barca player assigned to bathe him was Lionel Messi.
The baby was Lamine Yamal.
Nobody thought about the photo for 15 years.
Then the baby debuted for Barcelona at 15. Won the Euros at 16 while still doing homework. Took over Messi's number 10 shirt.
On Sunday they meet in the World Cup Final.
Messi is 39. It's likely his last one.
Yamal turned 19 two days ago. It's his first.
The baby Messi held in his hands is now trying to take the trophy out of them.
🚨🇵🇱Polish MEP Dominik Tarczyński just blasted the EU's Great Replacement agenda!
"In Poland, we have zero migrants. We don't give a shit. We take care of our families. I don't want my daughter to be raped or be killed."
Twins died from SIDS at exactly the same time just 2 HOURS after being vaccinated. 2 hours. Exact the same time.
If vaccines don't cause SIDS, this event is statistically impossible.

Public school buses dropping minors off at the international bridge so they can cross back into Mexico alone.
This is normalized in South Texas. U.S. districts recruit these students from Mexico, subsidize crossings, and bus them to the border — all to boost Average Daily Attendance funding from Texas taxpayers.
How is this not eroding our sovereign border in practice?
The line is treated like it barely exists for public services.

This is a toll road in Dallas, Texas
The tolls are run on dynamic pricing. The tolls adjust every 5 minutes based on real-time traffic and congestion data
Private equity firms got $490 million from taxpayers to build these toll lanes and the whole project cost about $2.6 billion
If taxpayers are going to have to pay to drive on toll roads they should not be charged a single cent for their construction
WOAH 🚨 My jaw literally dropped listening to this
The Los Angeles Police Department came and tried to clean up Skid Row and in a response a nonprofit working with Mayor Karen Bass SUED THEM and stopped police from EVEN BEING ALLOWED TO ENTER
“LA CAN, which is another organization (an NGO), they get very, very upset and they sue the LAPD when they come and do street cleaning down here. And they're basically saying that their encampments are their Private property. Police can't enter, and they sued the police more than any other organization”
Translation: They are suing to keep the homeless population right where they are so the NGO homeless money laundering industrial complex keeps running
This same NGO has also launched protests to stop Skid Row from being cleaned up
Pure insanity. It’s criminal
