Today was Donna Brothers' final time covering the Kentucky Derby for NBC. Before the race, Cherie DeVaux said "it is an honor that you get to do your last walkover with me."

Brothers told DeVaux, "I'm hoping you become the first female trainer to win the Kentucky Derby."

@SNAFU_Sara Drove out to a training site and realized it had been rescheduled!

She was once a Muslim, now a Christian convert.

Listen as she takes one of the favorite arguments used by Muslims to trip up Christians, and completely dismantles it with God's Word.

Do you know Scripture well enough to combat the lies?

The Cadets from Old Dominion University who stopped an active shooter, received 8 Meritorious Service Medals. Two of them received Purple Hearts…from the Sergeant Major of the Army and the Secretary of the Army.

Absolutely amazing and well deserved.

JD Vance just gave the clearest, most disciplined response to the Kent resignation of anyone in the administration — and it lands harder because he says it without malice.

Vance knows Kent. He likes Kent. The president likes Kent. None of that changes the fundamental principle Vance articulated with surgical precision: 𝘪𝘵'𝘴 𝘰𝘯𝘦 𝘵𝘩𝘪𝘯𝘨 𝘵𝘰 𝘩𝘢𝘷𝘦 𝘢 𝘥𝘪𝘴𝘢𝘨𝘳𝘦𝘦𝘮𝘦𝘯𝘵 𝘰𝘧 𝘰𝘱𝘪𝘯𝘪𝘰𝘯. 𝘞𝘩𝘦𝘯 𝘵𝘩𝘦 𝘱𝘳𝘦𝘴𝘪𝘥𝘦𝘯𝘵 𝘮𝘢𝘬𝘦𝘴 𝘢 𝘥𝘦𝘤𝘪𝘴𝘪𝘰𝘯, 𝘪𝘵'𝘴 𝘺𝘰𝘶𝘳 𝘫𝘰𝘣 𝘵𝘰 𝘩𝘦𝘭𝘱 𝘮𝘢𝘬𝘦 𝘵𝘩𝘢𝘵 𝘥𝘦𝘤𝘪𝘴𝘪𝘰𝘯 𝘢𝘴 𝘦𝘧𝘧𝘦𝘤𝘵𝘪𝘷𝘦 𝘢𝘯𝘥 𝘴𝘶𝘤𝘤𝘦𝘴𝘴𝘧𝘶𝘭 𝘢𝘴 𝘱𝘰𝘴𝘴𝘪𝘣𝘭𝘦.

This is how functional governments work. Trump, by Vance's account, is genuinely open to input — from the Secretary of State to the gardener at Mar-a-Lago. He listens. He values different perspectives. That culture of openness is a feature, not a bug. But it operates 𝗯𝗲𝗳𝗼𝗿𝗲 the decision is made. Once the president decides, the debate is over and execution begins.

Kent didn't raise his concerns privately and then faithfully implement the decision. He was cut from briefings months ago as a suspected leaker, was excluded from all Iran war planning, ignored JD Vance's personal counsel to speak to the chief of staff before going public — and then published a resignation letter on government letterhead filled with antisemitic conspiracy theories accusing the president of being manipulated by Israel.

That's not principled dissent. That's insubordination wrapped in a press release.

Vance closes with the most important line: 𝘵𝘩𝘢𝘵'𝘴 𝘩𝘰𝘸 𝘐 𝘥𝘰 𝘮𝘺 𝘫𝘰𝘣. In one sentence he draws the sharpest possible contrast with Kent — and quietly signals to anyone watching that whatever disagreements he may have about foreign policy, he is not going to be the next person throwing a grenade on the way out the door.

That's called loyalty. And in this administration, it means something.

@Diana_Ridley Definitely it is top of the food pyramid for Asian people.

This is one of the most ice-cold, ruthless speeches in U.S. history.

@FLYNAVYBuzzy The LA on the tail is 2d Bomb Wing from Barksdale AFB in Louisiana. I was an Air Force brat that grew up on Barksdale. Would go to sleep hearing the "on alert" crews firing up their engines periodically. Girlfriend and I would park at the end of the runway and watch landings.

Petty Officer 3rd Class Lauren J. Singer was traveling over the Coronado Bridge near San Diego, California, when she noticed a stranded motorist outside his vehicle.

Singer asked if he needed any help, and the driver responded that he was fine. She noticed the driver putting a rope around his neck. As he was putting a foot on the barrier to jump over the edge, Singer rushed to his side, pulling him back. Startled, she grabbed him and asked what he was doing. He coolly responded by saying that today was the day he was going to die.

While Singer was holding the driver, she noticed a knife on the barrier ledge. She cut the rope from around his neck, dropped the knife and kicked it underneath the car. She then identified a gun in his pocket. She removed the firearm and directed other stopped motorists to lock the gun securely in the trunk and call 911.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
She stayed with the suicidal driver until the California Highway Patrol arrived. Singer’s willingness to assist a stranger undoubtedly resulted in saving his life.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Singer, an aviation machinist’s mate, serves with the U.S. Navy’s Helicopter Sea Combat Squadron out of Naval Air Station North Island, California. For her actions, Singer was selected as the USO Sailor of the year 2020.
