@DavidWolfe One of my pups went lame (back legs) after receiving 4 vak-scenes simultaneously. He appeared close to death. Thankfully, he survived and is with me now. Because of this, I will never vaccinate my pups, myself or another being again.
"Dawn Loggins did not have a bad childhood. She had something harder to describe, a childhood that taught her, slowly and repeatedly, that the adults around her could not be counted on.
She grew up in a ramshackle house in rural North Carolina - dark, cockroach-infested, perpetually on the edge of collapse. No electricity. No running water.
She and her brother Shane would walk 20 minutes to a public park and fill jugs from the bathroom spigots when they needed water to cook or flush the toilet.
She went days, then weeks, without a shower. Classmates called her dirty.
She did not stop going to school.
Her parents moved constantly - eviction after eviction, new town, new school.
Dawn attended 4 different high schools before landing at Burns High School in Lawndale, North Carolina, in March 2010.
She had missed nearly an entire academic year. She was behind.
She was also brilliant.
2010. Burns High School. Lawndale, North Carolina.
Guidance counselor Robyn Putnam noticed Dawn and her brother within weeks. She enrolled both in online makeup courses.
She drove Dawn to appointments. She advocated for her the way her parents never had.
Dawn did homework before dark because there were no lights. She took 3 Advanced Placement courses and an honors class. She earned straight A's.
She joined the photography club, the rock climbing club, the Spanish club. She became president of all 3.
Then the summer before her senior year, something remarkable happened. Dawn was selected for the Governor's School of North Carolina - a prestigious 6-week residential program at Meredith College in Raleigh, reserved for the state's top students.
Putnam drove her the 200 miles to get there. She bought Dawn clothes for the program. Other teachers contributed money. No one was sure where Dawn's parents would be when she got back.
That uncertainty was warranted.
Summer 2011.
Near the end of the program, Dawn tries calling home. The phone number is disconnected. She tries again. Same result.
She returns to Lawndale. Her grandmother has been dropped at a local homeless shelter. Shane is gone. The house is empty. No note. No warning.
She learns later that her parents have moved to Tennessee.
Dawn is 17 years old. She has no home and no family to call.
"I found myself absolutely homeless with nowhere to go," she tells CNN. "Instead of worrying about it, I decided to take action."
She starts couch-surfing. She keeps going to school. She carries toothpaste, a toothbrush, soap, and shampoo in her school bag, because a shower is now a matter of opportunity.
Senior year. 6 a.m.
A school custodian named Sheryl Kolton takes Dawn in - giving her a stable place to sleep. Other staff members donate money for clothes, medical care, and dental appointments.
Through a school workforce program, Dawn becomes a part-time custodian at Burns High. She starts at 6 a.m., 2 hours before class. She sweeps hallways. She scrubs classrooms. She picks up gum students leave under desks while mentally running through material for her next test.
Here's what makes it worse, because she had needed to make up missed school credits through online courses - rather than AP classes that generate extra grade points - Dawn ranks approximately 10th in her senior class despite having nothing below an A-minus all year.
The valedictorian title goes to a student with a more conventional path through the system.
She does not complain.
She takes 3 AP courses. She earns straight A's. She leads 3 clubs. She cleans the building before anyone else arrives.
December 2011. 1 more application.
Dawn applies to 4 in-state schools. Then her history teacher Larry Gardner pushes her one step further.
She sends a 5th application - to Harvard University. The 1st Burns High student ever to do so.
"I thought about it and figured - why not?" she says.
Gardner writes her recommendation letter. It takes him days. "How do you articulate her story into 2 pages?" he later says. "How do you explain this is a young lady who deserves a chance but hasn't had the opportunities?"
He finds the words.
The letter.
One afternoon, Dawn opens an envelope from Cambridge, Massachusetts.
"Dear Ms. Loggins, I'm delighted to report that the admissions committee has asked me to inform you that you will be admitted to the Harvard College class of 2016."
She doesn't jump or scream. She takes a breath.
She shows Gardner the letter the next morning. He reads it. He looks up at her. His voice breaks.
"When I first met her, they were living in a home without electricity, without running water. They were showering at a local park after most people had left. This is a young lady who's been through so much. Pretty awesome."
Harvard covers all of Dawn's tuition, room, and board. Everything.
June 7, 2012. Graduation day.
When the announcer calls "Ashley Dawn Loggins," the auditorium erupts - a standing ovation in a small-town gymnasium for a girl who mopped their hallways before class. She breaks down in tears for the first time.
"All I could hear were their screams," she says afterward. "That's when I got overwhelmed and really emotional. I felt like all my hard work had finally been recognized."
Nearly 60,000 people share her story on Facebook that day alone.
Her brother Shane graduates the same week, on a full scholarship to Berea College in Kentucky.
When reporters ask about her parents, Dawn is quiet for a moment. Then,
"I love my parents. I disagree with the choices they've made.
But we all have to live with the consequences of our actions. If I had not had those experiences, I wouldn't be such a strong-willed or determined person."
Burns High School. 1,100 students. Dawn Loggins was the 1st ever accepted to Harvard.

And if you're a full-grown adult who still blames a race, the government, or everyone else for your own life decisions, it might be time for a crash course in personal responsibility.
Start with accountability.
Then move on to hard work, perseverance, initiative, self-discipline, personal development, and professional growth.
Learn valuable skills. Create value for others. Improve yourself every day.
And while you're at it, take an honest look at some of the cultural habits that keep people of every race stuck: living beyond your means, financing things you can't afford, chasing status instead of wealth, spending more time consuming entertainment than building skills, having children before you're financially prepared, avoiding personal accountability, and looking for shortcuts instead of putting in the work.
Black, White, Hispanic, Asian - it doesn't matter. Bad habits don't care what color you are. They will bankrupt you all the same.
From my own experience, don't overextend yourself. Stay humble. Stay responsible. Stay disciplined.
Life isn't fair, and success isn't guaranteed. But I've never met anyone who built something meaningful without facing setbacks, failures, obstacles, and challenges along the way.
At some point, you either become the author of your future, or you spend your life looking for someone else to blame.
A recent indictment handed down by the DOJ has revealed that the “far left” & the DNC funded “the far right” as a boogeyman to scare the public. Including the KKK. They manufactured racist groups to smear Republicans as racist. Completely outrageous. I hope they all go to prison for it. Including you, Kamala. ⬇️
The woman behind me in line paid for my groceries with a hundred-dollar bill, and I didn’t even realize I was crying until she asked if I had eaten that day.
I told her I was fine.
I wasn’t.
It was a Wednesday in March. I had been sitting in my car in the Walmart parking lot for twenty minutes, trying to decide what I could afford. Bread or milk. Eggs or cheese. Tampons or deodorant.
I had $23.47 in my account and three days until payday. My daughter needed poster board for a school project. My son had outgrown his only pair of jeans. The check engine light had been on for weeks.
I went inside anyway. I got the poster board, the cheapest jeans I could find, a loaf of bread, peanut butter, and milk.
At checkout, I watched the total climb.
$19.
$26.
$31.
I knew it wouldn’t work.
It didn’t.
Declined.
I asked the cashier to take off the jeans. Then the peanut butter. Finally, the total dropped low enough for my card to go through.
I grabbed my bags and rushed out to my car, where I sat and cried—not because of what I had to put back, but because I was exhausted from trying to make numbers work that never did.
Then someone knocked on my window.
It was the woman from behind me in line. She handed me a bag filled with everything I had put back—and more.
“I’ve been you,” she said gently. “Have you eaten today?”
That’s when I really broke down. Because I hadn’t.
She squeezed my hand and said, “It gets better. But today, let someone help.” Then she left before I could even thank her.
That moment stayed with me.
Eight years later, life looks different. My kids are older. I’m more stable. But I never forgot what it felt like to choose between basic needs and dignity.
Now, when I see someone struggling in line, I don’t look away.
Last month, I paid for a young mom’s groceries. She cried just like I did. I told her what that woman told me:
“It gets better. But today, let someone help.”
Kindness doesn’t need names.
It just needs someone willing to see.
Elisjsha Dicken was shopping with his girlfriend at a mall in Indiana when a gunman started shooting in the food court. Putting his own life in danger, Elisjsha confronted the gunman and neutralized him within fifteen seconds...
Countless lives were saved.
Nicholas Bostic was delivering pizza in Indiana when he saw a house go up in flames.
Without hesitating, he ran into the house and pulled four occupants out.
He was then told there was a six year old child still inside.
Bostic ran back into the fully engulfed home, found the child and while cradling her, he jumped out of a second story window to safety.
A lot of attention is given to the worst of society, but we need to remember that the human spirit is still alive and well.
These are the people that our attention should be focused on.
Our lives are all elevated when we take seriously the responsibility of being our brothers keepers.
Millions of people shoved in nursing homes, or the 80% forced on ventilators and given remdesivir, or 90% plus that had underlying conditions such as obesity, asthma, diabetes etc… or the people that were completely healthy that got the vaccine and had a heart attack or stroke? Funny how the flu and common cold disappeared! Also funny that the flu kills approximately 12,000-50,000 a year and 290,000-650,000 a year depending on which one of your gods you ask on Google, the CDC or the WHO, but no one talked about that.
I was about to ask, “aren’t you a doctor?” But I forgot they don’t teach you prevention or natural treatment, they teach you to give pills and then more pills for the side effects and then more pills for those side effects. So no, Covid didn’t kill millions of people! Doctors, the CDC, the WHO, big pharma, and the government did! It’s no wonder we don’t trust the MD after your names anymore. It’s no wonder people are scared to go to the doctor or hospital anymore. It’s no wonder that we are vaccine hesitant as you like to call it and no wonder people are finally thinking for themselves and growing their own food, finding home remedies, eating organic, TAKING Ivermectin (you know, the Nobel prize winning 3 cent cure all that was hidden from us) for cancer, parasites and overall good health. WE DON’T TRUST YOU ANYMORE!
The only thing good that came from this little Covid experiment was that you got caught! The jig is up and we don’t believe your bullshit propaganda anymore and no we don’t forgive it. Well, at least we “conspiracy theorists” don’t! We’re over here batting a thousand, BTW! It’s almost sad (almost) that these tiny brained retarded liberals still do. “But but my doctor said, but but the CDC said, but but CNN said…” 🤦🏼♀️😂
A-List Actress Katherine Heigl is getting DESTROYED for attending Trump's Mar-a-lago fundraiser that raised $5.5 Million to save the lives of shelter dogs.

Was this "career suicide," or do you respect her more? ❤️
Everyone should be so angry right now.
A good American was killed today because America did not deport an ISIS terrorist.
Please share the legacy of Lt. Col. Brandon Shah.
Brandon was killed today — the victim of the terrorist attack at Old Dominion University. Brandon was a Professor of Military Science and the leader of the university's ROTC program.
He was a veteran of Operation Iraqi Freedom, Operation Enduring Freedom, and Atlantic Resolve.
His awards included two Bronze Stars, Senior Army Aviator Badge, Combat Action Badge, Parachutist Badge, Air Assault Badge, Defense Meritorious Service Medal, Meritorious Service Medal, Air Medal with Valor, Joint Service Commendation Medal, Army Commendation Medal, and the Joint Service Achievement Medal.
Brandon was gunned down by a coward foreign terrorist who was already convicted of ISIS ties yet we allowed him to remain in this country. We MUST fix our immigration laws.
Please pray for Brandon’s family.
