🚨WOW!!!
Firefighters and college football players showed up to a Tennessee senior home...to pull grandmas and grandpas down a MASSIVE slip 'n slide!!!
Seniors with dementia and Parkinson's laughed like little kids again.
This is the annual "Ride 'n Slide" at Adams Place in Murfreesboro, Tennessee where a giant tarp is stretched across the lawn and the Murfreesboro Fire Department keeps it soaked and lifts residents safely on and off.
The Middle Tennessee State football team spent their day pulling grandmas across the water on inner tubes and cheering them on every single ride.
One resident, Mike Mitchell, an Army veteran and a retired minister who preached for SIXTY YEARS, talked himself into it right there on the lawn.
One grandma went down FOUR times and came up smiling saying, "Well that was fast!"
Organizers say the residents with dementia and Parkinson's light up brightest of all.
For one afternoon, no diagnoses, no age, just water, laughter, and people cheering your name.
That's so amazing...
GOD BLESS THESE PEOPLE!!!! 🇺🇸
A 4-year-old boy’s simple habit of waving to his neighbors transformed an entire neighborhood, and helped him find the community he needed. @SteveHartmanCBS is On the Road in North Carolina.
On this Independence Day, please take time to enjoy the most underrated version of The Star-Spangled Banner ever performed.
Meat Loaf in Pittsburgh.
1994 All-Star Game.
This is General Donahue and he was a four star General who was apparently pressured to resign from the Military because of Pete Hegseth’s ridiculous mismanagement of the Department of Defense. This is the loved he was shown as he was leaving his home and position!
Beloved actor, singer and trailblazer Sheryl Lee Ralph delivers a powerful and heartfelt rendition of the Star-Spangled Banner from beside the historic Liberty Bell in Philadelphia to mark America's 250th birthday. #DisneyCelebratesAmerica
We’re looking back at a song that changed music forever: "Walk This Way."
40 years ago, @OfficialRunDMC released their cover of this Aerosmith anthem—crossing genres, connecting worlds, and it’s never been the same since! We’re celebrating this epic collaboration with an equally epic new merch collection exclusively at https://t.co/RJq2gOG32l.
🚨📣 Vozinha mengenai apa yang dia ucapkan ke Messi seusai pertandingan:
"Aku menghampirinya, dan bahkan sebelum aku sempat bicara banyak, dia langsung memelukku dan berkata: 'Kerja bagus. Kau kiper yang sangat hebat. Rakyatmu pasti sangat bangga padamu.' Mendengar hal itu dari sosok seperti Leo sungguh sangat berarti bagiku."
"Aku berterima kasih dan menjawab: 'Terima kasih, Leo. Kau yang terbaik.' Lalu aku meminta baju pertandingannya, dia tersenyum dan berkata: 'Tentu saja. Akan kuberikan padamu di lorong ganti.' Momen seperti ini akan selalu aku ingat seumur hidup." ❤️🇨🇻🇦🇷
Sungguh keindahan sepak bola dan kerendahan hati dua sosok luar biasa! ✨🤝
July 4th 1985 and morning of the 5th, Pitcher Rick Camp, with a lifetime .060 batting average, hits the game-tying home run, the only one in his career, in the 18th inning to tie the ballgame.
I can never watch this without smiling. This is why I love baseball. No other sport can make a hero out of the everyman the way baseball does, and it never gets old or routine. Every time it's special.
Judge Elizabeth K. Dillon at Naturalization Ceremony at Monticello:
Please know, you are all welcome.
Some of you may have come the the United States for a better life, some for a job, some for family, some for education, some for love and some for freedom.
Some of you may have lived here for a lifetime and others may have arrived more recently. Some may have come from free countries where you transition was one of choice and others may have risked your lives to flee a country where there is no freedom and no choice.
Please know, you are all welcome.

The U.S. Constitution is made up of the original preamble that begins “We the people” and seven articles that took effect in 1789, and 27 amendments added between 1791 and 1992. The first 10 of those amendments are known as the Bill of Rights.
We now invite our GenX followers to begin singing the preamble as you learned it on Saturday morning from Schoolhouse Rock.

Continental Congress HAS SIGNED A DECLARATION OF INDEPENDENCE!
The UNITED STATES are OFFICIALLY INDEPENDENT from BRITAIN.
LIBERTY BELLS ring out throughout Philadelphia; the streets ERUPT IN ECSTASY.
In 1942, James Cagney was told to just walk down the stairs in "Yankee Doodle Dandy." Instead, he decided to improvise a tap dance down the slick marble steps. The crew tried to stop him due to the high injury risk. He ignored them, nailed it in ONE take.
Two hundred and fifty years ago, a group of Americans signed their names to a piece of parchment and made a promise no nation had ever made before: that we're all created equal, endowed by our Creator with unalienable rights — life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness.
We're the only nation in history built not on ethnicity, or blood, or geography but on an idea. That's always been what makes us exceptional. We chose that path 250 years ago but that’s where the work began, not where it ended. Every generation has had to choose it again. At Valley Forge, at Gettysburg, on the beaches of Normandy, in the streets of Selma. Americans recommitted themselves to the principles on which our nation was founded.
Now it's our turn.
There's nothing guaranteed about our democracy. We have to fight for it, defend it, and earn it. Over and over, year after year. That's not a burden. That's what it means to be an American.
250 years in, we still haven't fully lived up to those words in the Declaration. But we've never walked away from them, and this July 4, I hope all of us can commit to one thing: that we never will. I don't believe we're as divided as we're told we are. I've bet my whole life on the American people, and I'm not stopping now.
Happy 250th birthday, America. Our story isn't finished. Let's keep writing it together.
The local grocery chain here in RI/MA had a local artist paint its Fourth of July flyer, and I think in a world of AI slop, stuff like this is awesome.
