Living the good life. I love to travel. Enjoy helping others with their health and wealth; it gives me opportunitues to make a difference in my community.
Scottie Scheffler on his immediate celebration after winning: "There was an open bar inside and I'm like, alright, I'm grabbing a beer. It tasted great. I don't really drink very often. My wife and my manager were like, wow, I haven't seen you have a beer in a long time. Well, season's over now. I'm going to have a beer. Well-earned beer."
Trump said he was "draining the swamp" and fired 3,000 people at CDC... 3,500 at FDA... and 11,000 food safety officials.
Now: 160+ food recalls... 24,000 sick... 740 hospitalized... and several dead.
The corruption is killing us. Literally.
Last year, six huge companies got $83 BILLION in federal tax breaks.
Meanwhile, Americans struggled to afford groceries and doctor's visits.
Let that sink in.
An extraordinary day for science and for @OhioState as a nation-leading academic powerhouse. The Nancy Grace Roman Space Telescope, launched from Cape Canaveral at 7:26 a.m. today, is on its way to an orbit 1 million miles beyond the moon. I’m so proud of the many Buckeye researchers who have worked for years to make this mission a reality, including the two dozen students, postdocs and faculty who traveled to Florida for the launch. We’re excited to see the spectacular images that Roman will produce and the scientific discoveries that will result – more proof of the consequential work being done by Ohio State’s incredible community of scholars!
This 16-year-old girl was disappointed that she had to miss a Jonas Brothers concert because she's undergoing chemotherapy treatment. But then, she got a surprise right in her hospital room ❤️
The King's Guard is famous for standing perfectly still, no matter what happens around him. On this day, one guard did something no one expected.
Earlier that afternoon, a six-year-old boy named Oliver had been walking through the crowded plaza with his parents. He was excited to see the guards in their red uniforms and tall black hats, just like the pictures in his books.
In the noise and movement of the crowd, his parents' hands slipped away. One second he felt safe, and the next he was surrounded by strangers.
Fear took over. Tears blurred his vision as he pushed through coats and legs, calling for his parents while nothing around him looked familiar anymore.
Looking for someone who felt safe, Oliver spotted the guard standing motionless in his sentry box. He ran straight toward him and grabbed the red coat with both hands.
Please help me, he cried.
The guard was trained to ignore distractions. He was trained not to react. Still, when he looked down and saw the terror on the child's face, instinct outweighed protocol.
A glance at the clock inside the box showed one thing clearly. His shift ended in two minutes.
In a calm, steady voice, he spoke without moving.
Stay right here and don't move. I'll help you in one minute.
Oliver stood beside him, gripping the coat, counting every second.
At exactly the end of the shift, the next guard marched in and officially took over the post. Only then did the first guard step away.
He knelt down immediately and opened his arms.
Alright, buddy, he said gently. What's wrong?
The boy's brave face collapsed. I can't find my mom, he sobbed.
Oliver pressed into the guard's chest, shaking. The guard held him firmly and spoke in a low, reassuring voice. You're safe now. I've got you, and we're going to find her together.
He stayed there with the child, unmoving and patient, until police located the frantic parents and reunited them.
Everyone who witnessed the moment understood something important that day.
Rules matter, but compassion matters more when a child is afraid.
This happened July at Dallas Airport TSA checkpoint. The boy is Noah, 8 years old. Autistic and nonverbal.
The mother is Jennifer. Noah was having a sensory meltdown. Overwhelming security checkpoint noise, crowds, procedures.
Sitting on the floor screaming. Rocking.
Hands hitting his head. Jennifer knelt beside him trying to calm him. Nothing worked. TSA agents tried to help. Made it worse. Travelers walked around staring.
Taking photos. Then a woman approached.
Her name is Patricia, 54. The dog is Max, a
5-year-old German Shepherd. Patricia's
PTSD service dog. Phone camera footage from another traveler shows Patricia wheeling toward Noah in her wheelchair.
Stops ten feet away.
Releases Max's leash.
Max walks to Noah on his own. Lies down.
Presses his body against Noah's side. Deep pressure. Noah's screaming stops immediately. His hands move from hitting his head to gripping Max's fur. The rocking slows. Noah curls against Max. Stays there for eleven minutes. Jennifer watches crying.
Patricia stays back. Doesn't approach. Just lets Max work. When Noah finally calms down and stands, Jennifer approaches Patricia. Says: "How did you know? Thank you." Patricia said: "Max pulled toward Noah. He's my PTSD dog, not trained for autism. But he recognized Noah needed help. I trusted Max's instincts." Jennifer told: "Noah was in full meltdown. I couldn't reach him. TSA couldn't help.
Everyone was staring. Judging. Then this stranger let her service dog comfort my son. Max did in two minutes what I couldn't do in forty. He gave Noah what he needed-pressure and calm." Patricia said: "Max is trained to help me with PTSD. But he knows when others need help too. He's done this before-pulled toward people in distress. I always trust him. Max knew Noah needed him." Noah told his mom later through his communication device: "The dog helped me. The noise stopped hurting when the dog was there." TSA supervisor contacted Patricia and Jennifer afterward.
Commended Patricia for the intervention. Offered Noah priority boarding. Sometimes angels wear service vests and know exactly who needs them.
A police officer stopped a young man's car and, upon checking it, realized that his driving license had expired.
The police officer asked him why he was driving with an expired license.
He answered:
«They just fired me from my night job, and the money I have is only enough for me to eat, pay rent, and my bills. I am from another state and I have come here to study at university. Plus, I have a job interview».
The police officer had the option of applying the law and prohibiting the young man from driving his car, but he decided to listen to his heart.
He parked his police vehicle, helped him tie his tie, got into the young man's car and accompanied him to the interview location.
They entered together. The police officer apologized and explained the reason for the young man's delay. They hired him!
The young man got the job and obtained a temporary driving license until he raised enough money to renew his license.
That's humanity!

James Talarico: “What would Jesus say if he walked onto the floor of the US Senate? I think he would say I was hungry and you kicked me off food stamps. I was sick and you kicked me off Medicaid. If we claim to be Christians, we need to love our neighbors not just through our words, but through our actions, through our public policy”
To everyone who voted for Trump because you wanted lower gas prices, lower grocery prices, no new wars, and a full release of the Epstein files?
How’s that going?
Trump’s stupid war is now projected to cost taxpayers over $1 trillion.
$1 trillion.
That's Medicaid fully funded. That’s real support for our veterans. That’s childcare and healthcare for working families.
Instead, our money is going to a war with no strategy, no clear mission, and no end in sight.
Americans have been clear about what they want: lower costs, and leaders who actually fight for them. Not another forever war.
🚨 BREAKING:
Marjorie Taylor Greene just revealed that the Epstein files were blocked by Trump himself.
He did everything he could to bury them.
Not the Democrats. Not the Justice Department. Not the deep state.
Trump. https://t.co/y2CNTVk5Ry
Today marks six months of Trump’s illegal war of choice in Iran—a catastrophic mistake that has taken the lives of 19 servicemembers and left over 750 wounded.
After half a year and billions of dollars, Operation Epic Failure has yet to achieve a single strategic objective.
President Trump tried to kill the single biggest transportation project in America — the Hudson Tunnel project — for nakedly political reasons, eliminating tens of thousands of jobs.
That’s illegal, so the courts stopped him.
Now he's appealing. America deserves so much better than a President putting political revenge ahead of jobs and safety.
Trump has literally done nothing this entire second term except rename things for no reason, enrich himself & his Epstein pals, get us into a war he’s too stupid to get out of, and spend our money on shitty renovations nobody asked for. That’s literally it. Pathetic.
