Sadio Mane, a Senegalese soccer star, earns approximately $10.2 million annually. He gave the world a rude awakening after some fans were flabbergasted when they saw him carrying a cracked iPhone 11.
His response was awesome:
"Why would I want ten Ferraris, 20 diamond watches, and two jet planes? I starved, I worked in the fields, played barefoot, and I didn't go to school.
Now I can help people. I prefer to build schools and give poor people food or clothing. I have built schools and a stadium, provide clothes, shoes, and food for people in extreme poverty.
In addition, I give 70 euros per month to all people from a very poor Senegalese region in order to contribute to their family economy.
I do not need to display luxury cars, luxury homes, trips, and even planes. I prefer that my people receive some of what life has given me."
Just now, Senators from both parties voted to protect our hard-earned economic progress and prevent a first-ever default.
No one gets everything they want in a negotiation, but make no mistake: this bipartisan agreement is a big win for our economy and the American people.
Our work is far from finished, but I look forward to signing this bill into law as soon as possible and addressing the American people directly tomorrow.
President Biden tripped on a sandbag and fell as he completed handing out diplomas at the US Air Force Academy commencement in Colorado. He appeared fine afterward, walking without assistance to his seat in the stands. https://t.co/PBJZayPWp0
BREAKING: Georgia gun store owner Jon Waldman is struck by his conscience and announces that he will be closing his firearm shop "Georgia Ballistics" because of the constant mass shootings.
Waldman explained his powerful rationale for closing up the business amidst the never-ending wave of gun violence, saying: "I don’t want something that I’ve personally touched, that I’ve helped a client with be used on children."
"The fact that it keeps being kids, after kids after kids, that’s the thing for me," he said.
He added: "I understand I’m not the one selling the guns that are doing this but there’s a possibility that I could."
Before making the decision to end the store, he dipped his toes into the water of anti-gun action by refusing to sell a staggering 4,000 rounds of armor piercing bullets to a customer.
"Just because you pass [a background check] that doesn’t mean you should have it," said Waldman.
"This is just my conscience, and it’s more important to me than anything else," Waldman explained.
RT and ❤️ to spread Waldman's example so that other gun shop owners follow suit — and consider joining the exodus to new Twitter competitor https://t.co/w3Mt5NkJBE. Elon Musk banned their Twitter account, but he hasn’t yet banned this link to download the new Tribel app: https://t.co/HnJzSKjCwX
@GavinNewsom@GOP They can't win fairly so they will win by changing the rules or by force. They got a lot of money, They got a lot of greed, but we got the numbers we just got to show up. 🌊#voteblue2024 🌊
For any idiots on the left irate at Biden like "How could he negotiate with Republicans?"
It's because your dumbass let Republicans win the House back in 2022.
BREAKING: remember when GOP candidate Solomon Peña shot up his opponents houses in Albuquerque? He’s been INDICTED on FEDERAL charges, including election interference. https://t.co/DNT5OajH0p
THIS is the man who was just convicted for RAPING two women.
Was he trans, using the wrong bathroom?
No. Surprise, surprise, he is a DEVOUT CHURCH MEMBER.
But is he the only Church of Scientology member accused of sex crimes? Not even close. A new lawsuit alleges not only that church officials REFUSED to stop her sexual abuse as a child in their care, but they also deployed a campaign of harassment against her when she left the church, a tactic based on their founder's "Fair Game policy".
But wait – "The Church of Scientology isn't a REAL church," Republicans say?
Then why did Ron DeSantis take FIVE HUNDRED THOUSAND DOLLARS from one of Scientology's top donors?
Why did Greg Abbott veto a UNANIMOUS mental health care bill after a Scientology-backed group organized a campaign against it?
I'm sure now DeSantis & Abbott will return every dime they got from Scientology members, and RIP away their church tax statuses. Then they'll make laws so we never have people like Danny Masterson abuse people again.
Because clearly they should leave those of us in the LGBT+ community alone.
