My favorite part (and there are many) of working with @BarstoolGruden is listening to his stories. Nobody loves football more than this man.

🚨 THIS YOUNG MAN IS A HERO.

Fourteen-year-old Acie Holland III was riding home from school, looking at his phone, when something felt wrong.

The bus had passed his stop.

Then it began accelerating.

Acie looked toward the front and saw the driver unconscious over the steering wheel. The moving bus, carrying 14 students, was drifting across the centerline toward oncoming traffic.

Acie did not scream.

He did not freeze.

He did not wait for an adult to save them.

This eighth grader ran forward, seized the steering wheel, guided the bus back into its lane, moved the driver’s foot from the accelerator and pressed the brake until that enormous bus came safely to the curb.

He could not find the parking brake, so he turned the wheels hard toward the curb to prevent the bus from rolling away.

That is presence of mind under pressure.

Then Acie checked on the younger students, told them to contact their parents, made certain 911 had been called and went to get his grandmother, Phyllis Holland, who is a nurse.

The driver regained consciousness and received medical care. Every student made it home safely.

Acie had worked on cars with his father and enjoyed go-karting, but nothing could have completely prepared a 14-year-old boy to take control of a moving school bus.

Something had already been built inside him: courage, mechanical understanding, responsibility and the instinct to protect others.

His classmates gave him a new name:

“AC-Hero.”

That name fits.

While the world spends enormous energy telling us what is wrong with young men, Acie Holland III reminded us what can be right with them.

Fourteen students reached home because one young man recognized the danger, stepped forward and acted.

May God continue to strengthen this remarkable young man.

Reenactors are living historians, not hobbyists playing dress-up. They translate a paragraph in a textbook into the weight of a haversack, the smell of black powder, the sound of a company wheeling on command. They cannot make the past painless, and they don’t try to.
What they do is make it real enough that a child standing at the tree line can feel, if only for an afternoon, just what it meant to wait through a sleepless night behind a wall of flour sacks.
That is what keeps a battle like this from disappearing into a footnote. Not the marker by the road, but the men and women willing to put the past back on its feet, year after year, all so the next generation doesn’t just read what happened here — they feel it.

250 years ago, on July 2nd, 1776, the Second Continental Congress voted to declare independence from Great Britain.

John Adams wrote to his wife the next day:

“The Second Day of July 1776, will be the most memorable Epocha, in the History of America.—I am apt to believe that it will be celebrated, by succeeding Generations, as the great anniversary Festival. It ought to be commemorated, as the Day of Deliverance by solemn Acts of Devotion to God Almighty. It ought to be solemnized with Pomp and Parade, with Shews, Games, Sports, Guns, Bells, Bonfires and Illuminations from one End of this Continent to the other from this Time forward forever more.”

Well, not quite.

On July 4th, the delegates adopted the Declaration of Independence — and that has been the day for celebrations ever since.

🚨Aaron Tucker had been out of prison for just seven days, with less than two dollars in his pocket and one job interview lined up that morning to turn his life around.

From his bus window, he saw a car flip over and catch fire. He asked the driver to stop and help. The driver refused and warned him he would leave if Tucker got off. Tucker got off anyway.

He sprinted to the upside-down, smoking car, found the 61-year-old driver covered in blood, unbuckled his seatbelt, dragged him to safety as flames grew, and used his own shirt to stop the bleeding while encouraging him to stay awake for his family.

Tucker missed his interview. The bus left without him.

When the story spread, strangers launched a GoFundMe that raised over $50,000 in three days. He also received multiple job offers in construction.

Tucker said: "I feel like a job can come and go, but a life is a one-time thing. The job just wasn't in my mind at that time."

Absolutely incredible!

When Tocqueville came to America in 1831, just shy of 200 years ago, what he observed astonished him. His expectations, much like the expectations of the elites in Europe and our own country today, began with our “remarkable tendency to organize themselves in pursuit of shared goals.”
“Americans of all ages constantly unite,” Tocqueville wrote in his book Democracy in America. “Not only do they have commercial and industrial associations, in which all take part, but they also have a thousand other kinds: religious, moral, grave, futile, very general and very particular, immense and very small.”
When Tocqueville visited the U.S., we were in an era of rapid change, not unlike today. Some were moving westward, others toward cities, others away from cities, all while building transportation systems, such as canals and roadways, to achieve that moment.
The Industrial Revolution was at the center of all that cultural and political change. Our postal system was also speeding up. Our political parties were raucous, populist, and changing with the times. And we were influenced by those changed by how we formed communities.
Sound familiar? We are also in a moment of rapid change, building high-tech superhighways, this time through artificial intelligence and the internet. We are also moving inward this time, some rediscovering the middle of our country, while others try to remake our cities.
And the technological revolution of AI is having as much of a cultural and political impact as the industrial revolution.
What @FreddyLA7 @shaunvlog_ and all of the other World Cup soccer fans are experiencing is a modern-day Tocqueville moment. Freddy and Shaun likely had no idea what to expect when arriving here. If they read the European press or the Atlantic, it was probably pretty dark. Tocqueville himself wrote that he expected to find a raw, chaotic society, which is pretty much a condensed version of the criticisms you read about America and Americans from elite news organizations today.
What Tocqueville found instead were Americans who were constantly developing ways, and or tools, for creating associations, both large and small — associations with wildly different interests, from small local sports and community or religious groups with little internal order to vast national networks with structures. Think the Rotary Club, NAACP, the Elks, Lions Clubs, Future Farmers of America, the Grange, and 4-H.

Eighty-two years ago, Allied forces stormed the beaches of Normandy into the hell of war — answering the call of duty in defense of freedom.

Today, we honor their courage, remember their sacrifice, and remain forever grateful for the liberty they secured for generations to come.

Imagine its May 26, 1776

You’re a successful doctor in New Hampshire and soon you'll be the first to vote 'Aye' to approve the Declaration of Independence.

But you won't give up your practice, instead, you'll serve in the army and treat wounded soldiers mid-war.
