🚨WOW!!!
Firefighters and college football players showed up to a Tennessee senior home...to pull grandmas and grandpas down a MASSIVE slip 'n slide!!!
Seniors with dementia and Parkinson's laughed like little kids again.
This is the annual "Ride 'n Slide" at Adams Place in Murfreesboro, Tennessee where a giant tarp is stretched across the lawn and the Murfreesboro Fire Department keeps it soaked and lifts residents safely on and off.
The Middle Tennessee State football team spent their day pulling grandmas across the water on inner tubes and cheering them on every single ride.
One resident, Mike Mitchell, an Army veteran and a retired minister who preached for SIXTY YEARS, talked himself into it right there on the lawn.
One grandma went down FOUR times and came up smiling saying, "Well that was fast!"
Organizers say the residents with dementia and Parkinson's light up brightest of all.
For one afternoon, no diagnoses, no age, just water, laughter, and people cheering your name.
That's so amazing...
GOD BLESS THESE PEOPLE!!!! 🇺🇸
Such a great commentary by Janet Elaine Parks on where we should be as a country and @JohnFetterman is the one who put this perspective for both of us. Truly appreciate his honesty.
There was something Senator John Fetterman said recently that deserves attention …not because I agree with him on everything, but because it was honest.
He acknowledged that his own parents support President Trump.
And then he said:
“I love a lot of people that vote for Trump. That’s part of why I refuse to call these people Nazis.”
Read that again…
In today’s political climate, that shouldn’t be controversial. It shouldn’t be brave.
It should be normal…
But it isn’t.
For years now, millions of Americans who voted for President Trump have been labeled:
• Nazis
• Fascists
• Racists
• Threats to democracy
• Evil
• Beyond redemption
And that kind of rhetoric doesn’t just create disagreement …it creates division.
Here’s the truth most people already know deep down:
The overwhelming majority of conservatives, MAGA supporters, and Republicans are not extremists.
At our core, what we want is simple:
• Laws to be followed
• Borders to be secure
• Communities to be safe
• Parents to have a voice
• The Constitution to be respected
You can disagree with policy approaches.
You can debate implementation.
You can argue priorities.
That’s politics.
But reducing tens of millions of Americans to the worst labels imaginable because of a ballot choice?
That’s not moral clarity …that’s lazy demonization.
Step back from the selective outrage for a moment.
Look at your neighbors.
Your coworkers.
Your family members.
Many of them voted differently than you.
Many of them still love this country.
Many of them still want what’s best for their children.
The temperature in this country doesn’t drop until we stop pretending half the nation is evil.
Fetterman didn’t endorse Trump.
He didn’t flip parties.
He simply acknowledged something basic:
People who vote differently from you are still people.
That’s not weakness.
That’s maturity.
We can argue policies without annihilating each other’s humanity.
And if we don’t relearn how to do that, the damage won’t be political ..it will be cultural.
You don’t have to agree with me.
But you should be able to live next to me without thinking I’m a monster.
That’s the standard.
Faith. Family. Freedom.
I don't know if ya'll are paying attention but Larry Vickers has Auburn Women's Basketball 8-0 and they just took down a SOLID Cal squad. #auburnbasketball@thewarrapport
@Aubfather@d1baseball Took me forever to find the game! Even after I made my way to ESPN+, I was quickly perusing, looking for the AU logo.... oh, all we get is a NCAA baseball logo? Okay.
@McGR47HBR14NJ@Braves@FanDuelSN_SO And my feed freezes no less than 6 times any time I watch a game! Somebody was not ready to stream live baseball! Grrrr
