Some of you will probably laugh at this, and many will not understand it.
My 17 year old cat is not doing well, and we will probably have to let her go.
Kidney failure, almost from 1 day to the next. 2 days ago she was still running around like a young cat.
I am a grown man, and this is breaking my heart. At the same time I have to find a way to explain to my children that this is part of life, even when it feels brutally unfair.
17 years.
She has been with me for almost half my life.
Through 4 different homes, different chapters, different versions of myself, from having no children to having 3 children.
She was always there. Every day she came to me, wanted to be close, climbed onto my arm like it was the most normal thing in the world.
She never scratched 1 of my children.
Never hurt anyone. A proper little lady.
Call me soft if you want. I do not care.
There are things in life you only understand once they are suddenly standing right in front of you.
The quiet loyalty of an animal is one of them.
No words, no demands, no drama. Just presence.
For 17 years she simply existed next to me, through stress, change, exhaustion, bad days, good days, moving boxes, new rooms, crying babies, growing children and all the silent moments.
And now I have to watch her become weak almost overnight.
I have to look at her and somehow decide what kindness means when every part of me wants more time.
Love makes you want to hold on. Responsibility forces you to let go before suffering becomes the price of your own selfishness.
So yes, I am devastated over a cat.
A 17 year old little soul who followed me through almost half my life, never asked for anything except closeness and food, and gave my family nothing but gentleness.
Laugh if you want. I will grieve her properly.
This picture is 17 years old, from the day I picked her up.
🔥 This 👇 HAS to be the most EPIC “concession” speech in all of human history.
@spencerpratt making it clear that his mission is now gaining fuel & he may just achieve more without being in elected office than being limited by formalities of working in city hall.
He’s already done more to expose city corruption than anyone else.
He’s already done more to expose California’s disastrous electoral system than anyone else.
And now it appears that Spencer Pratt is just getting started.
Getting out my popcorn 🍿 for what’s next! God bless this man!
The intel was cooked. Tulsi Gabbard is saying what many have suspected for years — Obama falsified the Russia interference narrative. If true, that’s not a mistake. That’s a crime. It’s time for equal justice. ⚖️
A boy from Pretoria, South Africa, has become the world's first trillionaire.
Huge congratulations to him on making history! 🇿🇦🎉
Elon Musk is proof that brilliant minds can conquer the world.
Elon just created 4,400 millionaires in a single day.
400 of them are now worth over $100 million.
These aren't VCs. They're SpaceX employees, and the list includes welders, technicians, and cafeteria staff, because for two decades the company paid every level of the workforce in stock instead of higher salaries.
Juan Hernandez immigrated from Mexico and took a $28 an hour contractor welding job in 2015. He says he didn't even know what SpaceX was. The company gave him a $10,000 equity grant and let him buy more shares through payroll deductions. That stake is now worth $880,000.
Trevor Hise's parents wanted him to take a stable job at General Electric. He picked SpaceX instead, stayed 12 years, and accumulated over 100,000 shares. At the $135 listing price that's $13.5 million. He's 37 and semiretired. His words: "The magnitude of this has been ridiculous."
The most telling detail came before the listing. Over 100 employees quietly banded together and negotiated a group wealth management deal covering up to $5 billion, because none of them had ever needed a wealth manager before.
Software IPOs have minted millionaires for 30 years. This is the first one where the money went to the factory floor.
Man says that Toledo, Ohio, desperately needs ICE and speaks out against the H-1B visa program after seeing Walmart flooded with foreign workers.
“They have fully infiltrated the country, using one person as a catalyst to bring the rest of their family into the nation.”
I'll never let the world forget about the Bibas babies.
Ariel and Kfir Bibas were both kidnapped to Gaza by Palestinian terrorists on October 7 with their mother, Shiri, and were all brutally murdered in a dark underground tunnel, simply because they are Jewish.
Remember them.
Swimmies for Weenies 🥰🥰🥰
Weenies playing fetch in the pool is the timeline cleanse I needed today. It looks like they are having the best time.
The very end is worth staying for. 😍
How come no other Administration thought to do this for Foster Kids?
MELANIA TRUMP UNVEILS SAVINGS ACCOUNTS FOR FOSTER CHILDREN
First Lady Melania Trump announced a new initiative to help foster children build a stronger financial future.
“For the first time, children in foster care will have access to a dedicated savings and investment vehicle: Fostering the Future Accounts,” she said.
“Fostering the Future Accounts give foster children the same chance for asset ownership and long-term wealth building as every other American child. By investing in our foster youth now, we help strengthen America’s workforce, communities, and economic future.”
This is exactly the kind of thing that can change lives.
Foster children deserve stability, opportunity, support, and a real path toward independence.
And one thing is clear: Melania Trump has consistently used her platform to help America’s youth, especially foster children, have a better chance to succeed and flourish in life.
God bless every child in foster care.
May they know they are seen, valued, loved, and never forgotten.
In India, a Muslim man sneaked into a non-Muslim village and was caught raping a minor girl.
Local women beat him until he was deaf.
Stand with these brave women?
A. Yes
B. No
