In 1982, Robin Williams did a routine as the American Flag for the Norman Lear produced tv special "I Love Liberty" created to bridge political divides - and it's one of the greatest pieces you'll see 🇺🇸
Oklahoma HC Skip Johnson on being selfless teammates and in life.
“And we're trying to teach them in our culture to be selfless, to pick each other up. I mean, it's really what life's about. You think Jesus Christ was selfless? Absolutely. I mean, we live our life for that because of that reason.”
“So I think that's the biggest difference. Man, if you can teach those young men to be selfless in a selfish world, is really big to me. It's really big to me. When nobody cares who gets the credit, you can do amazing things. It's pretty amazing. And we're a reflection of those guys not caring.” — @CoachJohnsonOU
A father’s calling involves more than providing or protecting.
He is meant to reflect the heart of the heavenly Father — in strength and tenderness, wisdom and patience, mercy and truth.
No earthly father does this perfectly. But faithful fathers point beyond themselves to the perfect Father their children need most.
Happy Father’s Day.
Listen to John Piper’s message “Fathers Who Give Hope.”
Joe Rogan watches in disbelief as a video reveals America’s “nonprofit” hospitals actually rake in $45,000,000,000 in profit every year.
ROGAN: “Motherf*ckers.”
One CEO at NYU Langone paid himself $15,300,000 a year.
Other CEOs paid themselves $4,500,000 while nurses made about $70,000 a year.
P. DAVIS JONES: “A congressman recently described some nonprofit hospitals as ‘hedge funds with hospital beds,’ and I was like, ‘I bet they are.’”
“The total revenues of nonprofit hospitals in America in 2023 was $1.3 trillion. Nonprofit hospitals were making $45 billion worth of profit.”
“A study that looked at almost 1,500 nonprofit hospitals found that 86% of them provided LITTLE TO NO charity.”
“It goes to executives, these CEOs getting paid about $4.5 million a year. Meanwhile, their nurses make about 70K.”
“Here’s a guy, Robert [Grossman], at a hospital in New York who paid himself $15.3 million a year. Nonprofit hospital.”
Men are hardwired for fatherhood:
"In the social sciences, It has long been assumed that motherhood is natural but that fatherhood is merely cultural. Anthropologist Margaret Mead famously wrote, “motherhood is a biological necessity, but fatherhood is a social invention.” But today that commonplace assumption is being proved wrong. Neuroscientists are uncovering the biological underpinnings of fatherhood.
In the first few weeks after a child is born, a father’s biochemistry changes. His level of testosterone goes down, which makes him less aggressive. At the same time, his level of oxytocin rises, which creates a sense of empathy and bonding. The baby’s oxytocin rises as well, so that a biochemical bond is forged between the father and his newborn. Their brains begin to function symbiotically. These benefits accrue, however, only if the father is actively holding and playing with his baby. As one study found, “Infant contact itself seems to modulate endocrine systems and activate neural circuitry in fathers in a manner that is strikingly similar to that in mothers.”
In short, becoming a father literally stimulates brain growth. Warren Farrell, author of The Boy Crisis, explains: “When a man becomes a hands-on dad, he activates his ‘dad brain’—a nest of neurons that would otherwise remain dormant.”
The message from science is that a strong emotional bond between fathers and their children is encoded into the wiring of the male brain. God has designed the male neurochemistry for fatherhood."

Memorial Day isn’t about barbecues or beach days—it’s about those American heroes who gave everything for our freedom.
THIS 70-SECOND VIDEO CAPTURES WHAT THE DAY IS TRULY ABOUT. 🇺🇸
🚨 HOLY CRAP! FBI Director Patel says leftist NGO Southern Poverty Law Center, which has now been indicted, was using donor to pay leaders of the KU KLUX KLAN to stage "HATE CRIMES"
"They used the FRAUDULENTLY raised money by lying to their donor network—THOUSANDS of Americans—to go ahead and actually PAY the leadership of these supposed violent extremist groups.
"Furthermore, our investigation revealed that the Southern Poverty Law Center—on TOP of perpetuating this widespread decade-long multimillion dollar fraud—conducted more criminal activity.
They attempted to HIDE their criminal activity from our financial banking network.
They set up shell companies and entities around America so that the financial institutions that we rely on as everyday Americans were DECEIVED in believing that money was NOT coming from the Southern Poverty Law Center in the perpetration of this scheme and fraud, but rather fictitious entities they stood up to perpetuate this ongoing fraud."

Enlisted at 18. Rangers by his early twenties. Selected into Delta Force at 23. Seventeen deployments. In 2015 in Kirkuk, during a nighttime hostage rescue under heavy fire, he cleared the first building and freed 38 hostages. Then he crossed open ground under fire to a second building, climbed it,
and went back in repeatedly through smoke and heat with bolt cutters until every single person was out. 75 hostages walked out alive. By 2020 he was a Medal of Honor recipient. Master Sergeant Thomas Payne. Born April 2, 1984. Some men are just built for a different calling. He answered it every single time.
Marco Rubio is so good it’s unfair:
“The U.S. is constantly asked to help in wars and we have. But when we had a need, it didn’t get positive responses from NATO. A couple leaders said that Iran was not Europe’s war. Well, Ukraine isn’t our war, yet we’ve contributed more to that fight than anyone.”

Israeli pilot: “It’s an honor for us to fight alongside you. You’re doing a great job.”
American pilot: “Thank you very much. Likewise, gentlemen. Stay safe out there. Strike hard. See you.”
