My daughter brought her new boyfriend to Sunday dinner last month.
He’s 24, works at a COMMERCIAL TIRE SHOP, and has grease permanently stained into his cuticles.
He didn’t say much, just ate three servings of my pot roast and nodded a lot.
After they left, I told my wife I wished my daughter would date someone with a bit more ambition.
Someone who didn't look like they just crawled out from under a semi-truck.
Two weeks later, my alternator died on the shoulder of Route 9 during a torrential downpour.
I called AAA, but the wait time was two hours.
My daughter must have seen my text in the family group chat because twenty minutes later, her boyfriend's beat-up Chevy truck pulled up behind me.
He didn't have a raincoat.
He just got straight to work in the pouring rain, leaning over my engine bay while semi-trucks flew past at 70 miles per hour, spraying us with dirty highway water.
It took him forty-five minutes of wrestling with a rusted bolt to get the spare part in.
When he finished, he was soaked to the bone and shivering.
I pulled out my wallet and tried to hand him two hundred dollars.
He looked at the cash, then looked at me, and gently pushed my hand away.
He said,
"Sir, you don't pay family.
Just make sure your daughter gets home safe tonight."
I sat in my dry, warm car on the drive home feeling incredibly small.
I had judged his worth by the dirt under his fingernails,
completely missing the size of his heart.
$16 per person to attend a HS baseball playoff game. Then we wonder why kids don’t attend - the association has priced kids and families out of going to these games ! HS kids should never pay more than $5 for any event at their HS and they should NOT have to use a stupid APP!
From Lake City to the national stage.

My goal is to build a strong connections with coaches in a six-hour radius of Lake City, Florida, spanning all directions, as this region comprises a multitude of football programs that I am eager to connect with for our student athletes.
HOLY SH*T 🚨 Black Lives Matter LEADER has a shockingly powerful message for all Americans:
“I definitely will NOT be supporting Kamala Harris and if she ever got close to POWER, it would be a disaster for this Country”
HE IS ABSOLUTELY RIGHT 👏
JUST IN: Kamala Harris says it is "offensive" that Donald Trump said he would protect women from being r*ped and k*lled by illegal immigrants.
Yikes. Protecting people from being k*lled is offensive?
Harris gave an "emotional" response after being asked about a recent comment from Trump.
During a recent rally, Trump said he would protect all Americans, including women, from illegal immigrants, "whether they like it or not."
The Harris campaign is deceptively clipping the comment to make it sound like Trump was talking about taking women's rights away.
Instead, Trump was talking about the illegal immigrants, let in by Biden and Harris, who are r*ping and k*lling innocent women.
The comments come after it was revealed by the @FDRLST that the Harris campaign has a Discord server where they instruct people to shut down Community Notes so they are able to spread left-wing propaganda like this.
The Sheriff is right. Mayor Deegan’s comments are deeply troubling. Lying about President Trump’s policies, particularly while representing Jacksonville overseas on a taxpayer-funded trip, is incredibly disappointing. I hope @DonnaDeegan will apologize and issue a retraction.
$200 billion more to Ukraine
$2,500 per month to illegal aliens
$750 to Americans who lost everything in Hurricane Helene
Imagine voting for more of this. Share so all Americans see this.
Just so we are all on the same page, @ElonMusk has provided more rural broadband in the last day than the government could do in 4 years and has just saved U.S. astronauts who were going to be stuck in space till 2025.
SHOCK REPORT: After sending 175 BILLION a to Ukraine and handing out thousands of dollars a month to ILLEGALS, Biden tells the American people to help fund the recovery of Hurricane Helene in NC.
HOW DOES THIS MAKE YOU FEEL AS AN AMERICAN CITIZEN?
I think this is so cool and I very much appreciate @Coach_Norvell’s character.
Glad he prays with his team and instills some of the life lessons in his players like Bobby used to. Faith. Family. Football. 🙏🏻
🚨BREAKING: President Trump announces a brand new plan aimed at blue-collar, non-salaried workers to END all taxes on overtime:
"We will end all taxes on overtime ... This gives people more of an incentives to work. It gives the companies, it's a lot easier to get the people... They're police officers, nurses, factory workers, construction workers, truck drivers, and machine operators. It's time for the working man and woman to finally catch a break."
This mother makes $60,000 but can’t afford her daughter’s medical procedure. However. If she were to downgrade her job and salary, she would qualify for government medical assistance for her daughter.
What’s even more messed up is that she’s from Denver, where every migrant gets free healthcare.
Make it make sense!
