Can President Trump PLEASE give the Presidential Medal of Freedom to the Amish for their amazing work rebuilding Western North Carolina?

No group deserves it more.

Thursday night, 96% of the Moon will disappear into Earth’s shadow.

Most of the U.S. will be able to see it.

One of the coolest sky events of the year.

The most important and eye opening 6 minutes you will listen to today.

Dr. Charles Hoffe who is a family doctor from Southern British Columbia describes how he was told never to speak badly about the vaccine even though his patients were experiencing adverse reactions to them. On top of it, all of is adverse side effects reports he submitted were censored.
What went on during this time was criminal.

Good news! @WVUCancer’s LUCAS mobile lung cancer screening unit will be in Berkeley, Morgan, and Hardy counties in September.

Make sure to schedule your low dose computed tomography (LDCT) scan if you’re in the area!

This painting shows the exact moment a man realizes he has just killed his own son, and that nothing he does for the rest of his life can undo it...

It is Ivan the Terrible and His Son Ivan, painted by Ilya Repin in 1885, and it captures a single instant from the year 1581. Ivan, the first Tsar of Russia, a man prone to violent fits of rage, had struck his own son in the head with his staff, in one of the furies that gripped him more often as he aged.

Repin does not paint the blow. Instead, he paints the second in which a father sees what he has done and understands that it is final.

Look at his eyes. They are wide, bulging, wild with a horror that has no bottom. In an instant his anger has drained away completely, and left behind only the unbearable truth: the person dying in his arms is his own child, and he is the one who killed him. He clutches the boy to his chest, one hand pressed uselessly to the wound, trying to hold the blood inside a body that is already slipping away.

And now look at the son. There is no anger in his face. His expression is soft, almost peaceful, and a single tear runs down his cheek. His hand gently touches the father who has just murdered him, not in a struggle, but in something that looks unbearably like forgiveness. He is dying, and in his last moments he is comforting the man who did this to him.

That contrast is what makes the painting so devastating. One face is pure damnation, the other pure grace...

Repin painted it as a cry against violence, against the blind rage that can destroy everything we love in the space of a single second. He had watched his own country tearing itself apart with political murder, and of the period in which he made it, he said:

"A trail of blood ran through that year."

He was describing an empire. But the horror he depicted is the oldest terror there is: the irreversible moment. The word said that can never be unsaid. The blow that cannot be taken back.

All of us have felt some small version of it, the instant when we realize we have hurt someone we love and there is no way to undo it. Repin took that feeling to its absolute extreme and gave it a face, so that we might look at it and think twice before we let our own anger take something from us that we can never get back...

I'm not voting for anyone who thinks the wrong side won the Cold War or cheers for the Intifada like it's the World Cup.

@NWSPittsburgh There was a lot of hype leading up to this system, but I'm glad it didn't hit like predicted (MarshallCounty, WV)!

Fish Creek is muddy and rising, but I don't think it will be anything of concern, thankfully.

⚠️ Weather Update: The forecast for Tuesday remains concerning. We’re still looking at a potential for severe weather, including damaging wind gusts, large hail, tornadoes, & heavy rain.

The highest risk for intense storms will be between 12:00 PM - 8:00 PM.⛈️

Nostalgic memes spread misleading messages, like:

“Once, families could own a home & send their kids to college on one income.”

But the homes were smaller.

Most kids didn’t go to college.

The memes ignore facts.

We give them to you:

I've been following you for years now and I like your content, but I personally don't like your political opinions and your insults of the USA. It's not perfect here, but I've been to the UK and y'all have plenty of flaws too! You should have stuck with what worked. Unfollowed.

For years, Europe’s economy was about the size of America’s. Not today.

Today, the U.S. is 50% RICHER--despite the EU having 100 million MORE people.

What changed?

@slater57649 I have rescued numerous Pitbulls (and many other dogs) and they're hands down my favorite breed. But their jaws/bite force have to be respected! Raise them right and they're the best dog you could ever ask for 💕

[John Stossel @JohnStossel]

Minnesota taxpayers paid millions to “licensed" day care operations that watched NO kids.

How could this happen?

Because bureaucrats write rules, but government rarely checks if they work.
