Friends, our friend Diane @edianeschmidt is still looking for some help getting back home to Florida.
She is looking for someone that can drive her truck towing her cargo trailer from Michigan to Florida. She is the widow of a veteran (USMC) and is trying to get back home to Florida (Putnam county) and just doesn't feel safe on such a journey by herself. She will pay for all gas, food and lodging for the trip and will pay for a flight back to Michigan if the person helping is going back there. Please reach out to Diane for details and if you would please repost this so she can get more exposure. Let's see if we can get Diane and her late husband back home to Florida.
Thank you and God bless🙏
NEW:
Gavin Newsom @GavinNewsom, who is on track to be one of the Democrats top 2028 candidates for President is about to sign Assembly Bill 2017, legislation that makes the Muslim holidays of Eid al-Fitr and Eid al-Adha state holidays, which means state workers will be able to take vacation days on those days.
When he signs this bill, these Islamic holidays will be recognized as official California holidays.
The Islamic takeover of America continues.
Soon our country will be unbearable to live in.
🚨WOW!!!
An Ohio principal LOST HIS JOB after refusing to abandon a homeless 16-year-old student who was sleeping in a CAR.
He and his wife already had SIX KIDS… but they took him in anyway.
When the boy offered to LEAVE so the principal could save his career, he refused. ❤️
His name is Rob Burnside. He had spent 31 YEARS in education and was the principal of Lakota East High School outside Cincinnati.
The boy’s name is Landerius “DeDe” Hayes.
During DeDe’s junior year, his home life fell apart.
He says living with his mother wasn’t safe, his father was dealing with problems of his own, and there were nights when DeDe was sleeping in a car with the heater running because the mobile home where his father was staying was too cold.
...and yet, every morning, he kept showing up to school.
Eventually the school learned DeDe’s mother had moved outside the district. Without a qualifying address, DeDe was withdrawn from Lakota East.
That’s when Principal Burnside realized this wasn’t just an enrollment problem.
This kid didn’t have a freaking HOME.
Rob went home and told his wife, Angel, what was happening. Her response was basically: if he needs somewhere to live, he can live with us.
Rob and Angel already had SIX CHILDREN, including two they had adopted, but there was a 16-year-old boy out there without a stable place to sleep, and they couldn’t ignore it.
The couple prayed about whether they should take DeDe in. Rob has said that just minutes later, his phone buzzed.
It was DeDe.
“Hey, Mr. Burnside.”
Rob looked at his wife and knew they had their answer.
DeDe moved in with the Burnsides and suddenly had something he desperately needed: a warm house, food, stability and people who were going to show up for him.
While DeDe’s custody and residency situation was being worked out, Burnside allowed him to continue attending classes even though he’d already been withdrawn.
The district investigated Burnside for insubordination and raised concerns about enrollment, lunches and liability.
He was eventually placed on administrative leave.
After 31 YEARS in education, Rob says he was given a choice: step down or go through the termination process.
The 16 year old, DeDe, realized Rob’s career was on the line and offered to LEAVE THEIR HOME so Burnside could keep his job.
Rob wouldn’t allow it.
He hugged DeDe and told him: "You’re part of this family. We’re not gonna turn our back on you.”
So Burnside stepped away from the career he’d spent three decades building... and DeDe stayed.
The Burnsides eventually became his legal family. DeDe started calling Rob and Angel “Pops and Ma.”
Then this past May, Rob Burnside sat in the stands at DeDe’s high school graduation.
Not as the principal, just sitting there as a dad, watching the kid he refused to abandon walk across the stage.
DeDe is 18 now and is pursuing a career in aviation mechanics.
When asked he regretted what happened, Rob simple said:
“What value can we put on the life of a young person?”
When Rob Burnside had to choose between protecting that career and protecting a homeless kid who needed somebody…
He chose the kid.
And when that kid offered to sacrifice his own home to repay him…
Rob chose him AGAIN.
THIS IS THE AMERICA I KNOW!!!! 🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸
If a bill were introduced in the Tennessee legislature to rename Nashville’s airport Dolly Parton International, it would pass unanimously.
Let’s make it happen, fellow Tennesseans.
In 1988 Dolly Parton pulled every 7th and 8th grader in Sevier County into a room and told them to pick a buddy.
She made them sign a contract.. if BOTH graduate, she hands you both $500. One fails, nobody gets paid.
The county dropout rate went from 35% to 6%.
She handed out the checks herself.
In 1989 she offered $500 to every kid in the county who wanted to go to the local college.
When Gatlinburg burned in 2016, she sent 900 families $1,000 a month for six months.
You've probably heard that part.
Here's the part you haven't:
The fund raised more than expected, so she showed up in May and handed every one of those families another $5,000 on top.
Then she quietly put $3 million into the recovery group that handles the years after the news trucks leave.
She built her county an entire hospital.
She played a benefit concert in 2007, Dollywood and the Stampede matched it, and LeConte Medical Center opened in 2010 with a birthing unit and a women's center in it.
In 2022 she started covering 100% of tuition, books, and fees for Dollywood employees.
Full-time, part-time, AND seasonal.
In 1991 she paid for a bald eagle sanctuary because the birds couldn't be released back into the wild, no press release.
And when Hurricane Helene came through here in Western North Carolina, she wrote a personal check for $1 million and her companies matched it.
She didn't owe North Carolina anything, but she helped us anyway.
She started the Imagination Library because her daddy couldn't read or write. Before he passed, he told her it was the most important thing she ever did.
Rest in Peace, Dolly 🇺🇸

🚨WOW!!!
A college student is being praised as a HERO after she saw 3 little girls drowning in Lake Washington, jumped in, and saved ALL THREE GIRLS.
The last one was UNCONSCIOUS, underwater, tangled in a rope, only her hair was still floating.
All 3 SURVIVED!!!! ❤️
Her name is Lillie Vehling.
She is an engineering student at UC Davis and an attacker on the women's water polo team.
She was in Seattle for a summer internship and went to Seafair for the very first time, sitting at Genesee Park waiting on the Blue Angels with a book in her hands.
Then she scanned the water.
Three girls were out past the buoy line, bobbing, screaming, going under. She is a certified lifeguard who started her own swim lesson program, so she knew exactly what she was looking at.
One of the girls was pushing the other two under just to get a breath.
That is when she went in.
She grabbed that girl first, to stop her from taking the other two down with her. Got her to shallow water. Went back for the second one.
Then she went back a third time.
By then the third girl was already gone under.
Lillie: "I just saw her black hair in the water barely floating."
The child was unconscious AND tangled in the rope of a buoy she had been clawing at to save her own life.
Lillie got an arm under her, lifted her head out of the water, and hauled her to shore.
The little girl coughed up the lake and came back.
Seattle Fire paramedics met them on the beach. One girl went to Seattle Children's Hospital in stable condition.
All three lived.
Seafair's president found her that same day. Her first question was whether Lillie was okay. Her second was whether she could give her a hug.
That night they brought her to the gala and knighted her "Lady Guardian of Lake Washington."
Admirals lined up to meet her.
And Lillie? She is chasing a career in the nuclear Navy.
Seafair's president says she hopes the next time Lillie comes back to that lake, it is in a Blue Angels cockpit.
"To save three people, I didn't think twice about myself."
GOD BLESS Lillie Vehling, and GOD BLESS the firefighter who raised her.
THIS IS THE AMERICA I KNOW!!! 🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸
💔Derrick Moore, 47, a beloved elementary school teacher and father of four from Loganville, Georgia, gave his life on August 7, 2026, to save a young girl he had never met.
While at Myrtle Beach, SC, he saw the child caught in a powerful rip current after lifeguards had gone off duty. Without hesitation, he ran into the water, pulled her to safety, and then was swept under himself. His body was recovered the next day.
He was known as “Coach” to his students at Rockbridge Elementary. Colleagues and family describe him as a man who always showed up with a smile and a heart ready to help.
He didn’t know the little girl.
He just knew she needed saving.
Rest in power, Derrick Moore.
True hero. Forever. 💔🇺🇸🫡
Millions of Americans are angry about the Senate's refusal to seriously address Election Fraud.
I think its fair to ask; "How many of the current 100 Senators have themselves benefited from unfair elections?"
🔥🚨BREAKING: 30 Christians were slaughtered in Naridon Village, Kaduna, Nigeria and the mainstream media will not say a word about it. The persecution of Christians around the world is a genocide and the world is silent.
