@spiroscuck @BoLoudon Pretty sure he is saying that would be a breeze compared to storming the beach at Normandy...🤷🏻‍♀️

This is truly the most beautiful video I’ve seen lately

So tender and heart-warming, yet it makes you stop and reflect, with a subtle touch of sadness

We may have gained so much, but perhaps we’ve lost even more✨

Everyone needs to be aware of this

Journalist Avery Daye exposes the history of Minnesota Rep Ilhan Omar

“Ilhan Omar — I figured not enough people know about her family’s history, so let’s recap:

Her dad and her grandfather were both high-ranking military officials in the Barre regime, which killed over 200,000 people. They’re most famous for the Isaaq genocide — it was the worst of the worst: aerial bombings, executions, man-made famine.

People massively suffered under this regime, with the help of people like Ilhan Omar’s family who supported the regime and carried out this, this horror.

— They have family ties to this guy known as the Butcher of Hargeisa, and his whole shtick was “kill all but the crows.””

“So the suffering of the people of Somalia was so bad that there was a civil war and the regime was overthrown. Her family fled first to Kenya and then Minnesota, claiming they’re like these asylum seekers.

These poor, poor people. No, no, no, no. They were fleeing to escape being held accountable for what they did. She was not oppressed. Her family, they were the oppressors.”

“So for the Democratic Party to have her as a representative is insane to me — and the way that they’ve like rebranded her as all this poor refugee? No, no. She wasn’t a refugee of war. Her family created the war.”

When I was a high school principal, I interviewed a teacher named Jake Huggins. He seemed like a good candidate—friendly, experienced, and thoughtful. I believed he could be a solid addition to our faculty. But any lingering doubt disappeared when he answered one particular question. It has always been my favorite.

I asked him, “Jake, in every school in America, you can place teachers on a continuum. On one end are those who don’t seem to want to be there. They’re always complaining. Their colleagues wonder why they haven’t retired yet. They drain the energy of the building. But on the other end are teachers who are excited to come to work. They love their students. They value their colleagues. They lift the spirits of everyone around them. When graduates come back, these are the teachers they want to see.

So Jake… what’s the difference between these two teachers? What is the X factor? Because that’s what we’re looking for.”

Most teachers answer that question by talking about passion. Or purpose. Or the desire to make a difference rather than just earn a paycheck. Those are good answers. But Jake said something different—something I’ve never forgotten.

He said, “I think almost every teacher starts out idealistic. They love kids. They want to change the world. But after a few years, you hit a wall. You realize how hard this job really is. There are endless papers to grade. Some students make it incredibly challenging to teach. And parents aren’t always supportive.

Some teachers never move past that reality check. They burn out. But others do. They keep their sense of purpose in spite of the challenges. The work is hard, but they remain convinced it matters. Some students are difficult, but they know those students need someone who refuses to give up on them. They face adversity, but they don’t let it steal their passion. Those are the teachers who make a difference year after year.”

We hired Jake.

A few years later he was named the school’s Teacher of the Year.

So today, I salute Jake—and every educator who has faced that “reality check” and chosen to keep going. The ones who remember their whyon the hard days. The ones who refuse to let frustration turn into cynicism. The ones who continue to believe, even when the work is exhausting.

Because those are the teachers who change lives.
And they do it… year after year.

Cheers,

Danny

Here’s the real problem:

The SAVE Act is make-or-break for our elections, yes—but it’s worse than that.

85% of Americans want it. EIGHTY-FIVE PERCENT. “Democracy,” right?

So if the Senate doesn’t pass it, they’ve proven the entire system is a farce—a mafia scam to exploit you.

The problem isn't who spends 4-8 years in the White House.

The problem is who spends 30-40 years in Congress.

Congressional term limits are badly needed.

@AnnieForTruth The equivalent would actually be that government does not have the right to force women to have abortions. js
