A 25-year-old woman was abducted at gunpoint and forced into the back seat of a car.
Desperate for someone to notice, she locked eyes with two teenage boys in another vehicle and silently mouthed two words… “Help me.”
17-year-old Jamal Harris and 19-year-old Aaron Arias immediately called 911 and began following the car.
The driver realized they were behind him and started speeding up, slowing down and swerving through traffic trying to lose them. But Jamal and Aaron stayed with him, continuously updating police on where the car was going.
They knew if they lost sight of it, the woman could disappear.
Police eventually caught up, surrounded the vehicle and arrested the driver. The woman was finally safe, and later embraced the teenagers who had noticed her silent plea and refused to look away.
Jamal and Aaron were just out driving that day. But because they paid attention and kept following when it would have been easier to turn away, a kidnapped woman made it home safely.
These are the types of young people the internet should be talking about.

October 7, 2023—a day forever etched into the heart of Israel.
Today, we remember the 1,200+ lives brutally taken, the families forever changed, and the nation that still carries the scars.
We remember. We mourn. We stand with Israel 🇮🇱
When I'm fully unleashed and get to tell this story in detail, country by country, operation by operation, I don't think the world will ever view the history of the past decade the same way again.
What you're watching is the first election in 6 years where Lula no longer has tens of millions of dollars of USAID operation money propping up him and his allies.

WHISTLEBLOWERS: “Thousands of Americans across all 50 states, as well as Washington, D.C., and Puerto Rico, who donated as little as $1 to President Trump and Trump-aligned Republican entities had their checks secretly subpoenaed by Special Counsel Jack Smith and his team” @ChuckGrassley
Can President Trump PLEASE give the Presidential Medal of Freedom to the Amish for their amazing work rebuilding Western North Carolina?
They have literally rebuilt HUNDREDS of bridges, homes, businesses, and roads... and are STILL HERE HELPING!!!!!
No group deserves it more.
Passing time in a tightly packed airport coffee shop recently, I ended up in conversation with a thirty-something couple sitting only inches from me. I was coming from Mexico City and they were going there. After the usual banter, I asked where they were from and learned they were New Yorkers moving out of that city. They didn’t offer a reason and I didn’t press for one.
They asked me what I did for a living and I explained that I was a writer currently investigating how cartels were smuggling people into the US. I say I was chatting with this couple, but it was really only with her. He said nothing the entire time. But he listened intently as she asked questions.
“You travel a lot? Where have you been?”
“Well, so far this year, I’ve covered the WEF in Davos, researched Karl Marx in London, went to Gaza with the IDF…”
“You’ve been to Israel?” She interrupted. “We’ve been there. What do you think of the war?”
I guessed that here our conversation would end unhappily. They were New Yorkers, so almost certainly heavily propagandized lefties. But I pressed on.
“Almost everything you hear in Western media is wrong…”
“You mean it’s a lie. How?”
“Oct 7 was not just a Charlie Hebdo-style terrorist attack. It was an act of war. More than 7,000 Hamas terrorists penetrated the frontier at more than 100 points. Inspired by Islam, they had been instructed to r8pe, behead, torture, and kidnap men, women, and children.”
He still said nothing, but leaned forward, eyes narrowing.
“Who helped them do it?” She asked.
“Iran was the biggest supplier, but North Korea, China, and Qatar mostly. The UNRWA also played a role. Weapons and matériel were stockpiled in Egypt and smuggled into Gaza through tunnels.”
“You know that?”
“I know that. Trust me.” That led to a discussion of President Sisi, the Muslim Brotherhood, and my standoff with Egyptian State Security in Cairo. Still, I had no real gauge for where they stood politically. She asked if I had written anything on the subject, so I pointed her to my article for The Federalist connecting the dots between Egypt, USAID, Gaza, and my swatting.
A woman sitting nearby, leaned over and said, “Forgive me for eavesdropping on your conversation, but this is fascinating.” We all chatted a bit longer and I left.
About 30 minutes later I was standing in line at the gate waiting to board my flight when the husband appeared.
“Pardon me, but I had to come find you.” He was full of emotion. He indicated that he and his wife were Israelis who had lived in NYC but were now fleeing Mamdani’s third world sh*thole.
“You are a man who needs the protection of angels,” he said, and then presented me with a Jewish holy book. “We want you to have this. I pray it protects you.”
With that he turned and walked away.
Gentile and fierce Protestant that I am, I was nonetheless deeply moved. It seems they had read the article and, catching a glimpse of my work, felt my life was in danger. For my own part, I was aware that the same ideology that threatened me, was the same one that threatened them, forced them to move, and imperiled their native land.
I’m often amazed by the people the Lord puts in my path when I pause long enough to look around and notice them.
If you listen to Cain, he will tell you that righteous Abel was the problem.
If you listen to Potiphar’s wife, she will tell you that righteous Joseph was the wicked man.
If you listen to Pharaoh, he will tell you that Moses was an enemy of the state.
If you listen to Saul, he will tell you that loyal David was a traitor.
If you listen to Haman, he will convince you that Mordecai was a dangerous enemy.
If you listen to Ahab and Jezebel, they will tell you that Elijah, the prophet of God, was the troublemaker.
If you listen to the Pharisees and the teachers of the law, they will tell you that the sinless Jesus was a blasphemer.
If you listen to Judas Iscariot, he will find a way to justify betrayal.
If you listen to Pontius Pilate, he will wash his hands while Truth stands directly in front of him.
And if you listen to the world, do not be surprised when it calls righteousness evil and evil good.
My friends, listen carefully: a lie does NOT become Truth simply because it is repeated loudly, confidently, or by powerful people.
Be careful what you hear.
Be careful whom you believe.
Be careful whom you follow.
Test everything by the Word of God.
The world may condemn you for standing for Biblical Truth but the only verdict that ultimately matters is His!!!
Stand firm. Stand faithful. And above all, listen to Jesus.
“I am sending you to them, to open their eyes, so that they may turn from darkness to light and from the power of Satan to God, that they may receive forgiveness of sins and an inheritance among those sanctified by faith in Me.’”

My heart reflected on this verse of commission - while on our Airbnb balcony in Switzerland. #Grateful #GoodNews #HeMakesAllThingsNew
A 2-year-old boy was kidnapped from his home and driven nearly 200 miles away.
Then one trucker spotted the getaway car, and within minutes, three massive semis were closing in around it.
Jim Lowe had heard the AMBER Alert when he recognized the car on Interstate 24. He checked the license plate, realized it matched and immediately radioed other truckers ahead.
The truckers spread across the highway and moved their semis into position around the car. They boxed it in and began slowing it down, making sure the driver couldn’t get away before police arrived.
Officers rushed in, arrested the driver and found 2-year-old Cael Whitehead inside safe and unharmed.
Those truckers had never met Cael, but when they realized that little boy was inside the car beside them, they did everything they could to make sure he got home safely.
Nous en sommes EXACTEMENT LÀ... 🤬🤬🤬
"La prophétie la plus troublante de toutes"
Il y a 70 ans, une vision fut gravée dans les mots, décrivant avec une effrayante précision ce que nous vivons aujourd’hui.
Le 2 février 1905, à Saint-Pétersbourg, naissait une âme qui allait marquer la pensée et les lettres : Alissa Zinovievna Rosenbaum, plus connue sous le nom d’Ayn Rand. Philosophe et écrivaine américaine d’origine russe, elle laissa derrière elle des mots qui résonnent encore, comme un écho prophétique dans les tumultes de notre époque.
Elle écrivit ces paroles :
« Lorsque vous réalisez que, pour produire, vous devez obtenir l’autorisation de ceux qui ne produisent rien… Lorsque vous voyez l’argent couler non pas vers ceux qui créent des biens, mais vers ceux qui trafiquent en faveurs… Lorsque vous comprenez que certains s’enrichissent davantage par la corruption et l’influence que par le labeur, et que les lois ne vous protègent plus d’eux mais, au contraire, les protègent contre vous… Lorsque vous découvrez que la corruption est récompensée tandis que l’honnêteté devient un sacrifice, alors vous saurez, sans le moindre doute, que votre société est condamnée. »
Un avertissement gravé dans le marbre de la pensée, un miroir tendu à un monde vacillant.

"That's a big one in my book!"
MAHA is alive and well! 🇺🇸
The 60 Minutes interview with the rescued U.S. Air Force officer was INCREDIBLE and hit totally different than anything I've seen on 60 Minutes in a long time.
It feels like we’re living in parallel worlds right now. On one side, there’s a powerful God movement happening. People are facing absolute chaos and saying, "Your will be done." But on the other side, there are people completely lost in the darkness and chaos of the world.
This story is a reminder that you don't have to stay in that dark place. There is a better path, and the message this officer radioed out is a great place to start: "God is good."
