Today, legendary American boxer Terence Crawford is in Ukraine. He has supported our country and our people since the first days of the war. We deeply value having people like him stand with Ukrainians.

As a gesture of solidarity, Terence gifted me an American Pit Bull Terrier puppy – a female named Freyja. Her grandfather Athos survived the Russian occupation of Bucha, and now Freyja bears the name of our future FREYJA air defense system – as a symbol of our protection.

Thank you for the meeting and for this very warm and special gift. Thank you for your support and for your respect for our people.

こんにちは♪　富士山登頂：先日、#米海軍横須賀基地 が企画する #富士登山 ツアーに３０名近くの基地関係者が参加しました。前日に山小屋で一泊し、朝早く登頂を目指しました。雲海を見下ろす壮大な景色が広がり、山頂から見る日の出は格別でした🌄#夏の思い出

The way he lit up when he was given this beauty was so wonderful to see.

Of course this dog took right to him as well.

If you want to understand the goodness of a person, animals will show you.

New episode:

Slovak police have thwarted a planned arson attack on a Ukrainian-owned Skyeton drone factory in eastern Slovakia. Three foreigners suspected in the attempt were detained - two in Slovakia and one in Germany.

The attack could have sparked a large-scale fire and caused extensive damage. Around 70 people were at the facility at the time.

Police seized a large quantity of incendiary mixture, tools, mobile phones, a camera, and a handwritten plan.

The investigation is ongoing.

🎌 Since the end of World War II, Japan has been known as a nation of peace. That commitment remains unchanged. We will continue to be a peaceful country.

But peace alone is not enough. To protect what we value, we must also remain strong. This means standing with and loving our Self-Defense Forces, who quietly shoulder the responsibility of our security.

It means cherishing our people, and it means holding deep affection for our country itself.

⚡️BREAKING: Lukashenko suddenly orders a combat readiness check of the Belarusian army

One of the brigades will leave its permanent base and carry out undisclosed tasks.

Belarus’ Security Council said the exercise will test the troops’ readiness for combat, taking into account lessons from the wars in Ukraine and Iran. Particular attention will be paid to the use of firepower.

Coincidence or not, the inspection was announced shortly after CIA Director John Ratcliffe’s visit to Moscow.

To me, the universe is simply a great machine which never came into being and never will end. The human being is no exception to the natural order. Man, like the universe, is a machine. Nothing enters our minds or determines our actions which is not directly or indirectly a response to stimuli beating upon our sense organs from without.

I have lived in America long enough to learn one absolute rule: Americans will argue about everything.

They argue about barbecue sauce. They argue about the weather. They argue about which truck brand can pull a heavier oak tree. In Tennessee, I once watched two men debate mayonnaise brands with the intensity of two samurais preparing for a duel at sunrise.

So yesterday, when I entered a diner off the highway and saw complete, heavy silence, I prepared for battle.

Every truck driver had removed his baseball cap. The TV in the corner was playing a message from a nephew. Men with beards down to their chests were quietly staring at their coffee cups.

"Charlene," I whispered to the waitress, keeping my hand near my side. "Has a foreign king declared war upon the republic?"

"No, honey," Charlene said, her voice shaking slightly as she wiped the counter with unusual slowness. "Aunt Dolly passed away. She went to rest on a bed of cotton."

I did not know this Aunt Dolly. But as I listened, I learned this woman gave over two hundred million books to children with no castle of their own, wrote songs that healed entire valleys, and spent eighty years wearing fifty pounds of shiny rhinestones so that everyone else could feel joy.

When a great feudal lord passes in Japan, the province weeps for forty days. Here, Charlene just put on a record called '9 to 5,' and fifteen grown men softly sang the chorus while staring at their hash browns.

I stood up, bowed ninety degrees to the television screen, and recited my deepest respect for the Queen of Tennessee.

Charlene gave me extra bacon and told me that Dolly would have liked my armor, though she would have probably glued glitter on the helmet.

Dolly Parton somehow stayed 25 for 55 years, built an empire in rhinestones, loved God without weaponizing it, welcomed everybody, gave back endlessly and made being kind look powerful. ❤️

Ultra feminine. Business savvy. Inclusive. Faithful. Funny. Generous. Completely Dolly.

There will NEVER be another one. Rest beautifully, Dolly. 🕊️💎
