He was out on the water for a peaceful afternoon when she noticed the boat ahead of her slow down. A couple of people laughed, finished their drinks, and casually tossed empty cans and plastic straight into the ocean like it was nothing. The current carried the trash away while seabirds circled overhead. He couldn’t believe it.
The ocean isn’t a dumpster. That trash doesn’t just “disappear” it breaks down into microplastics, harms marine life, and eventually finds its way back onto our beaches and even into the food chain. Call it harsh, but actions like that feel intentional and selfish. Fines clearly aren’t stopping everyone. Maybe stronger penalties would make people think twice before polluting shared spaces. Protecting the ocean shouldn’t be controversia. Itt’s basic responsibility.
What makes someone think it’s okay to treat open water like a personal garbage bin?
No one at the NFL level has any idea what a catch is, especially as it relates to the EZ. How is that control, then two feet down in the EZ isn't a TD? Certainly a new standard if three feet are needed in order to establish a TD.

This man is Derrick Perry a U.S. Marine Veteran who held the suspect from the Walmart stabbing at gun point, which prevented more tragedy & allowed for emergency responders to quickly access victims. Give this hero the recognition his actions deserve.
Thread 🧵
1) "When 79-year-old George retired, he didn’t buy a golf club or a hammock. He hung a handmade sign in his garage window: “Broken things? Bring ’em here. No charge. Just tea and talk.”
His neighbors in the faded mill town of Maple Grove thought he’d lost it. “Who fixes stuff for free?” grumbled the barber. But George had a reason. His wife, Ruth, had spent decades repairing torn coats and cracked picture frames for anyone who knocked. “Waste is a habit,” she’d say. “Kindness is the cure.” She’d died the year before, and George’s hands itched to mend what she’d left behind.
The first visitor was 8-year-old Mia, dragging a plastic toy truck with a missing wheel. “Dad says we can’t afford a new one,” she mumbled. George rummaged through his toolbox, humming. An hour later, the truck rolled again—this time with a bottle cap for a wheel and a stripe of silver duct tape. “Now it’s custom ,” he winked. Mia left smiling, but her mother lingered. “Can you… fix a résumé?” she asked. “I’ve been stuck on the couch since the factory closed.”
By noon, George’s garage buzzed. A widow brought a shattered clock (“My husband wound it every Sunday”). A teen carried a leaky backpack. George fixed them all, but he didn’t work alone. Retired teachers proofread résumés. A former seamstress stitched torn backpacks. Even Mia returned, handing him a jar of jam: “Mom says thanks for the job interview.”
Then came the complaint.
“Unlicensed business,” snapped the city inspector. “You’re violating zoning laws.”
Maple Grove’s mayor, a man with a spreadsheet heart, demanded George shut down. The next morning, 40 townsfolk stood on George’s lawn, holding broken toasters, torn quilts, and protest signs: “Fix the law, not just stuff!” A local reporter filmed a segment: “Is kindness illegal?”
The mayor caved. Sort of.
“If you want to ‘fix’ things, do it downtown,” he said. “Rent the old firehouse. But no guarantees.”
The firehouse became a hive. Volunteers gutted it, painted it sunshine yellow, and dubbed it “Ruth’s Hub.” Plumbers taught plumbing. Teenagers learned to darn socks. A baker swapped muffins for repaired microwaves. The town’s waste dropped by 30%.
But the real magic? Conversations. A lonely widow fixed a lamp while a single dad patched a bike tire. They talked about Ruth. About loss. About hope.
Last week, George found a note in his mailbox. It was from Mia, now 16, interning at a robotics lab. “You taught me to see value in broken things. I’m building a solar-powered prosthetic arm. PS: The truck still runs!”
Today, 12 towns across the state have “Fix-It Hubs.” None charge money. All serve tea.
Funny, isn’t it? How a man with a screwdriver can rebuild a world."

Baltimore Ravens Head Coach John Harbaugh delivered a masterful response to a nasty reporter when asked why he met with Trump:
“Why do you frame that question [like that]? … It was amazing—it was awesome. And I promise you, I root for our President. I want our President to be successful just like I want my quarterback to be successful… My mom and President Trump — seeing how he treated her, it was really meaningful.”
We honor and celebrate the extraordinary life and service of Dakota Louis Meyer, one of only 61 living Medal of Honor Recipients. Please join us in wishing him a very happy birthday!
During a six-hour battle near Ganjgal, Afghanistan, Corporal (Highest Rank: Sergeant) Meyer displayed extraordinary bravery after learning that four U.S. team members were trapped in an ambush by over 50 enemy fighters. Taking the exposed gunner's position on a vehicle, he made a total of five dangerous trips into the kill zone under intense fire. Meyer helped evacuate wounded Afghan soldiers, supported U.S. and Afghan forces with accurate fire, and ultimately located and recovered bodies of his fallen teammates. Despite being wounded himself, his selfless actions and determination greatly disrupted the enemy assault and inspired those around him. 🫡🏅

This man will be celebrating Father’s Day at the cemetery with his son who served our country.
He has a message for people on Flag Day and for the people behind ‘No Kings’ protests.
“There’s a billionaire out there who is offering people a little bit of money for people to bring havoc to the cities through the United States. He’s planting bricks throughout the cities for people to throw at cops, throw at Marines and The National Guard. Please do not buy into his hatred. He’s a bitter, old, miserable man and sooner or later he’s gonna’ get caught funding all of this hate. Out of respect for all these young men and women behind me, please do not attend. RESPECT!”
Amen Mr. Buckley. We thank your son Lance Corporal Gregory Buckley for his service to our country. It’s a debt we can never repay.
Mr. Buckley is talking about that old miserable George Soros in my opinion. He should be deemed an Enemy Of The State. He should have all his assets frozen and he should be arrested.
Thank you sir. We are with you. 🇺🇸
Clint Eastwood:
"I love when people call Trump Stupid..
You mean the multi-billionaire who kicked every Democrats butt, buried 16 career Republican politicians, and continues to make fools out of once reputable news organizations ..
You mean the guy who won the presidency?
You mean the guy with the super model wife?
You mean the guy whose words alone put a massive slow down on illegal border crossings?
You mean the guy whose mere presence made the stock market smash its previous records?
You mean the guy who created 1 million jobs in his first 7 months in office?
Are you sure you even know what it is you're resisting?
Are you sure you back a party that enables the decimation of every core principal of Christianity?
Are you sure you back a party that voted 100% against the abolition of slavery?
Are you sure you really take a politician like Maxine Waters seriously?
Are you sure you don't see anything wrong with someone who has a 40 yr career as a public servant living in a $4.5 mansion representing a district she doesn't even live in?
Are you sure you see nothing wrong or peculiar about Hillary Clinton a woman being involved in politics for the last 30 yrs having a net worth of $240 million?
Are you sure you're not just basing your opinion on hatred spewed by a crooked paid for media platform?
Could you even tell me 5 things the Democratic Party has done to improve your day to day prosperity as a hard working American citizen?
Probably not..
Do you realize the debacle you are sending your children into once they become adults by continuing to support a political party that has done nothing for the poor except kept them poor, gave them free abortions, and a few hundred a month to keep food in their fridge?
The prosperity and safety of its citizens is job one of your government.
Get with the program.
Everyone else has horribly failed you!
Smarten up and take a position for the sake of your children.
I promise you a country full of illegal immigrants, abortions, $15 an hour jobs, and non-gender specific people aren't gonna make your country and life any more prosperous.
Rosie, Madonna, Katy Perry, and Robert Deniro are not just like you. They don't have to live through the real world day to day disparity of an average American.
Men don't hate women, white people don't hate black people, and Donald Trump is not a racist.
Stop allowing yourself to be brainwashed by a party that has continuously failed you.
Be about your prosperity, your safety, your children, and an America First mindset.
Dump these crooked politicians that have stunted your growth.
Dump these crooked politicians that have stunted your children's growth.
Toughen up, take a stand, and act like a proud American.
See the spirit of Trump supporting and freedom loving Americans and just imagine where we could be as a country if everyone had the same priorities”
