❤️🇨🇻 ¡¡NO PERDISTE NADA, CABO VERDE… TE GANASTE EL RESPETO DEL MUNDO ENTERO!!

El pitazo final los encontró de rodillas, entre lágrimas y con el corazón roto. Sabían que habían estado a un paso de lograr el milagro. Cayeron 3-2 en la prórroga ante la tricampeona del mundo, pero se marcharon con la frente en alto y el orgullo de haber protagonizado una de las historias más inolvidables de esta Copa del Mundo.

Era su PRIMER MUNDIAL. Muchos los daban por eliminados antes de empezar. Sin embargo, una selección valorada en apenas 60 millones de dólares llevó al límite a una Argentina que supera los 1.000 millones en valor de mercado. La obligó a jugar tiempos extra, la encerró por momentos en su propia área y estuvo a centímetros de firmar una de las mayores hazañas que se recuerden en la historia de los Mundiales.

Un país de apenas 500.000 habitantes hizo temblar a uno de los gigantes del fútbol. Vozinha, con 40 años, firmó una actuación legendaria. Sus compañeros corrieron cada pelota como si fuera la última de sus vidas. Nunca jugaron con miedo. Jugaron con convicción, con orgullo y con el corazón.

No levantarán la Copa del Mundo, pero consiguieron algo que muy pocos logran: conquistar la admiración de millones de personas. Hoy, Cabo Verde dejó de ser una selección desconocida para convertirse en el equipo que enamoró al planeta con su entrega, su valentía y su fe.

El fútbol no siempre recompensa con títulos. A veces recompensa con algo todavía más grande: el respeto eterno.

👏❤️ GRACIAS POR HACERNOS CREER, CABO VERDE. EL MUNDO ENTERO TE APLAUDE. 🇨🇻

My mother still cries about it.

Forty years later, she'll be sitting at the table, and her eyes will fill, and she says the same words she's said my whole life: "We had everything. We lost it all. And we couldn't give you children anything."

Mom, I have told you a thousand times — and I will tell you a thousand more. You gave me the greatest gift a parent can ever give a child. You gave me America. Nothing else matters. Nothing else even comes close.

Let me tell you what she means.
In Iran, we did have everything. My father spent thirty years helping build a nation — its cities, its schools, its roads, its hospitals. We belonged to a Jewish community that had lived on Persian soil for 2,700 years. We had a home, a history, a name that meant something.
And then, almost overnight, we had a target on our backs. Bullets cracked over our roof. Cars burned in our street. My father became a hunted man for two unforgivable crimes: he had served his country, and he was a Jew.

So he did the only thing a father can do. He sold everything we owned for whatever he could get, gathered his wife, his mother, and his four little boys, and he ran. Thirty years of a man's life's work — surrendered at the door, in exchange for our lives.

We were the lucky ones. That community was once a hundred thousand souls. Most never got out with what we did. Some never got out at all.

We carried away only what no regime could confiscate — our faith, our language, our poetry, and each other. And after a few years finding our footing, we came here. To America. To the one country on earth that looked at a family fleeing a regime that hated it… and opened its arms anyway.

We arrived with empty hands. And that is the wound my mother has never let go of — that after all they'd had, they gave us nothing.

But Mom, you don't understand what you gave me.

You gave me a country where I could pray out loud without fear. Where I could speak my mind. Where a penniless refugee kid could become a physician, a scientist, an author — where the only ceiling was how hard I was willing to work. You didn't hand me an inheritance. You handed me something no fortune in Iran could ever have bought: the freedom to build a life without looking over my shoulder.

That is a love only an exile understands. Not the calm, comfortable patriotism of someone born into safety — but the fierce, protective, almost desperate love of someone who has watched a homeland turn on its own people and knows, in his bones, how quickly it can all be taken away.

And that is exactly why I will never stay silent.

When you have watched a revolution promise heaven and deliver a prison — when you've seen radical Islamists and the intoxicating lies of socialism hollow out a great nation from the inside until it devours its own children — you do not take a single hour of American freedom for granted. And you carry one holy fear: watching it happen again.

I did not flee that fire to sit quietly while anyone strikes the same match under the country that saved my family. You do not escape the thing that destroyed your first home only to welcome it into your second. I love America too much — and I remember far too much — to let that happen without a fight.

So I spend my life trying to be worthy of the gift. Through medicine. Through science. Through my words. By defending the freedoms that saved us — free speech, free thought, the God-given right to choose — with everything I have. This country once invested in me with no expectation of return, only trust. I have been repaying that trust every day since, and I will until my last breath.

So this is my answer, Mom.

You did not send me into the world with empty hands. You placed in them the freest, most generous, most extraordinary nation in the history of mankind.

You gave me America.

And I will spend the rest of my life proving it was more than enough.
Happy 250th Birthday. 🇺🇸

God bless the United States of America. 🗽

[Hillbilly @JamesHu27192912]

Just to clear the air: I’m a MAGA (Make America Great Again), Conservative, but that doesn’t mean what a lot of you apparently think it does. Let’s break it down, because I’m tired of being told what I believe and what I stand for. Spoiler: not every Conservative is the same, but most of us I know share these same principles.

1. I believe America should never depend on another country for energy, protection, or basic supply and demand. We are strongest when we build, produce, and protect things right here in the USA.

2. I believe America must put itself first. We cannot pour from an empty cup. Our country should prioritize our own people before trying to save the world.

3. I believe America should stay out of endless foreign conflicts. We are not the world’s sugar daddy, and we shouldn’t act like it.

4. I believe no foreign aid should be given until every veteran at home is taken care of.

5. I believe immigrants make America stronger — when they come legally. If your first act in this country is breaking the law, you aren’t an upstanding citizen.

6. You can marry who you want. I may not agree with your lifestyle, but your life is not mine to judge, I leave that to God Almighty. That being said, I am a Christian and suggest everyone read and follow God's word.

7. I believe men are men and women are women. Surgery or hormones don’t change that. Men should use men’s bathrooms, and women should use women’s bathrooms.

8. I believe schools are for education, not indoctrination. Kids should learn math, history, reading, and science - not political propaganda. They should not be taught they were “born in the wrong body” or pushed into gender delusion.

9. I believe America is in a mental health crisis. Mental health care is real, it matters, and it desperately needs to be addressed.

10. I believe guns aren’t the problem - people are. Gun control only infringes on constitutional rights.

I’m a Conservative because I believe in faith, family, freedom, and personal responsibility. I don’t want a government that controls every aspect of our lives - I want a government that protects our rights, secures our borders, defends our freedoms, and then gets out of the way. We are strongest when Americans take care of America first, when families are supported, when our veterans are honored, and when our children are given truth, not propaganda. I love this country, and I believe it’s worth fighting for 🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸

Dear Republicans, stop mass texting my phone for donations. You won't get squat from me until you pass the Save America Act and start putting American citizens first instead of your donors.

[War Correspondent @warDaniel47]

🚨 WOW! Elon Musk just resurfaced this video of Chuck Schumer in 1996 saying that "the NUMBER ONE REASON" migrants come to America is to commit fraud and steal taxpayer dollars

"They can get benefits against the law because of FRAUD!"

ELON: "That’s what he said."

We need to pass the SAVE America Act so they CAN'T VOTE.

🚨 WOW: Florida legislature has APPROVED the official abolition of statewide property taxes.

This is a MASSIVE win! Proud to be a Floridian.

[The Iranian @JustAnIranianIr]

REMEMBER when the American pilot made an emergency landing in southern Iran, the Islamic regime wanted to search for him and capture him, but the Iranian people stood in their way so that the American pilot would not fall into the hands of the Islamic regime and be saved???

These are people whose average family income is $100 a month, they could have earned thousands of dollars by finding and handing over the American pilot… But according to their culture, they chose humanity.

This video proves to you that the Iranian people are not looking for food, wheat, and corn, the Iranian people want freedom and human dignity, not corn and wheat.

SOPHIE’S COOL 😎 RESPONSE:

Sophie Cunningham‘s cool response to the whole finger pointing incident is amazing:👇

Step 1: She asked the ref “if Caitlin Clark got a technical, why didn’t she (“DB” DeWanna Bonner) get one?” 🤷🏼‍♂️
Step 2: DB sad “Don’t you point your finger at me!”
Step 3: Sophie said to herself “Oh you shouldn’t have said that!” 😂
Step 4: The pointing 👉 began and went on for 22 seconds! 😂😂🤣 DB loses it!

Her Commentary: “it’s so stupid! That is the stupidest thing I’ve ever done… it was pissing her off, I couldn’t help myself! 😂😂👏 I literally did not say a word.”

FYI My Friends ❤️

I have attended CPR classes over the years, but was never told this particular scenario. I was told that when your body starts sweating profusely for no apparent reason followed by what feels like a spasm at the end of your esophagus, that is your body’s warning sign.

When you are alone and have a heart attack, what are you gonna do? A really good post that can't be shared often enough:

1. Take a 2 minute break and read this:
Let's say it's 5:25 pm and you're driving home after an unusually hard day's work.

2. You are really tired and frustrated.
All of a sudden you experience chest pains. They are starting to radiate in the arm and jaw. It feels like being stabbed in the chest and heart. You're only a few miles away from the nearest hospital or home.

3. Unfortunately you don't know if you can make it..

4. Maybe you've taken CPR training, but the person running the course hasn't told you how to help yourself.

5. How do you survive a heart attack when you're alone when it happens? A person who is feeling weak and whose heart is beating hard has only about 10 seconds before losing consciousness.

6. But you can help yourself by coughing repeatedly and very strongly! Deep breaths before every cough. Coughing should be repeated every second until you arrive at the hospital or until your heart starts to beat normally.

7. Deep breathing gives oxygen to your lungs and coughing movements boost the heart and blood circulation. Heart pressure also helps to restore a normal heartbeat. That’s how cardiac arrest victims can make it to the hospital for the right treatment.

8. Cardiologists say if someone gets this message and passes it on to 10 people, we can expect to save at least one life.

9. FOR WOMEN: You should know that women have additional and different symptoms. Rarely have crushing chest pain or pain in the arms. Often have indigestion and tightness across the back at the bra line plus sudden fatigue.

❤️Sharing this could help SAVE a life 🙏

[CRIXUS @CRIXUSwasHERE]

WHO AGREES?👇💯💯💯😡

[CRIXUS @CRIXUSwasHERE]

ABSOLUTELY!!👇🤨

[Wall Street Apes @WallStreetApes]

Leaked recording of Xavier Becerra at HHS under Biden saying he was putting illegal migrant children “in an assembly line”

He clearly says the American people will be upset knowing how much Democrats were spending on children who shouldn’t even be here in America, and he’s instructing his staff to place them as quickly as they can without doing the proper checks

How is this guy not rotting in prison

“This is not the way you do an assembly line”

“We need to get discharges up — Every time we have to go to the Hill and explain why we're spending so much money when most people are struggling to spend a little bit of money for their kids on a daily basis, we try to explain how we're spending more than $1,000 a day for kids who may not even have the legal right to be here”

This is your reminder he was also called out in official testimony for placing children with sponsors using strip clubs as addresses

Arrest him

[marqix ☆ @fwmarqix]

Got a call at 01:33 AM last night. My daughter's name lit up the screen. My heart skipped for a second, you never know with late night calls.

I answer, All I hear is giggling, Then, "Dad?"

"Yeah, kiddo, You good?"

More giggling, Barely holding it together. "Can you... can you come get me?"

"On my way, Send me the pin."

She's 23, Lives on her own, Works full-time. But tonight, she went out with friends, had a few too many, and knew better than to get behind the wheel.

I pull up to the bar, She's sitting on the curb with two of her friends, all of them laughing at absolutely nothing. Her car is parked safely in the lot. Her friend's car right next to it. Nobody's driving tonight.

The whole ride home, she's cracking up in the backseat over something that happened earlier. I have no idea what the story even is, but she can't get through a sentence without snort-laughing.

And honestly? I'm not even annoyed, I'm relieved.

Because this call, the one where she's safe, giggling, and trusts me enough to ask for help, is infinitely better than the other call. The one no parent ever wants to get.

I told all my kids when they were teenagers, "I don't care what time it is, I don't care what you did, If you need a ride, you call me, No lecture, No judgment, Just call."

These nights don't happen often anymore. But when they do, I will always answer. Every single time.

[🇮🇷 Association of Iranian Royalists @IranRoyalists]

This is Mohammad Rashid Mazaheri, a professional football goalkeeper who represented Iran's national team. He has long been a vocal critic of the Islamic regime, speaking out against the execution of protesters and other government abuses. Following the regime's massacre of innocent protests in January 2026, he posted a series of messages on Instagram calling Ali Khamenei "satan" and a murderer. He later joined protesters in the streets. Since then, he has disappeared, and no one has heard from him.
