🚨BREAKING: The White House just announced another 2.5 billion dollars to Ukraine today.
Meanwhile, this is what roads still look like in western North Carolina after Hurricane Helene.
The mainstream media censored this. Let's make it go VIRAL!
When I’m told I need to deliver a death notification, the weight of it hits me immediately. My chest tightens, my stomach sinks, and my heart skips a beat. I know I’m about to share news that will change someone’s life forever.
When I arrive at the home, I knock on the door and take a step back. I often see the family through a window, walking through their living room. They wave or smile at me, trying to greet me warmly. That moment is incredibly hard because I can’t smile back—I know I’m about to bring them the darkest moment of their life.
When they open the door, they usually ask, “What’s wrong? What happened?” That’s when I begin by confirming their name and if I’m at the correct address. Once I know I’ve got the right person, in the right place, I notice something I’ve seen many times before—they start taking small steps back, almost fading away from me. I don’t think they even realize they’re doing it. I think it’s their body trying to create distance from an unwelcome moment, knowing deep down that something devastating is about to be said.
Then, I deliver the most difficult words anyone could ever hear:
“It’s my sad responsibility to tell you that your son has died in a crash.”
“It’s my sad responsibility to tell you that your daughter has died in a crash.”
“It’s my sad responsibility to tell you that your mother has died in a crash.”
“It’s my sad responsibility to tell you that your father has died in a crash.”
In those moments, I often see one of three reactions:
1. They collapse. Some fall to the floor, crying in a way that’s impossible to describe. I kneel beside them, and often, I cry with them.
2. They go silent. Others stand frozen, their faces blank as they try to process what I’ve said. They’re lost, unsure of how to move forward.
3. They push me away. Sometimes, I’m told to leave or forcefully pushed back as they yell, “No! Don’t say that!” But I stay because no one should face that moment alone.
These moments stay with me and the family involved.
Tonight is a night meant for celebration—a time to welcome the new year, look forward to fresh opportunities, and start anew. It shouldn’t begin with tragedy and heartbreak.
Please make safe choices tonight. Don’t drink and drive. Use a designated driver. Protect yourself and your loved ones from the pain of ever having to face this kind of moment.
Be safe,
Trooper Ben
Say goodbye to the last Sunday of the year with this final half of "Hillbilly Hare" (1950)
It's considered one of the great masterpieces of animated comedy.
Bugs Bunny (in one of Mel Blanc's greatest performances), is harassed by a duo of Ozark hillbillies, and disguises himself in drag to lure them into a dance hall, then disguises himself as a square-dance fiddler to turn them against each other in a battle of musical mayhem.
.@ScottPresler to Democrat Bucks County Commissioner Diane Ellis-Marseglia: “We are coming for your seat in 2027…”
We refuse to sit idly by while the Democrats try to rig our elections in an attempt to cling to power.

I keep seeing so called "smart people" arguing against Trumps tarriff plan, but that's only because they think in checkers, not chess.
And yes, Trump's plan is the epitome of 5D Chess.
Here's why...
I’m sorry I couldn’t properly lead to this beautiful tribute the @CollegeGameDay put together. Really wanted to thank all of you for the avalanche of love and support you’ve shown Ben. It gives me and my family such comfort knowing how he impacted so many peoples lives around the country. He was a beautiful and loving soul.
Thank you to every one in this amazing community! YOU helped make this happen with your votes, support, and words of encouragement.
Nothing we do is for publicity or recognition or celebrity status. EVERYTHING we do is to help others in need. Mom says she doesn’t care if anyone ever knows our name, she does care about the #impact we can have in making positive change for people with disabilities. We are THEIR voice!
Opportunities like being on the @TODAYshow or being the top finalist for the @AmericanHumane@HeroDogAwards in the Service/Guide Dog category helps to raise awareness around the barriers these people face daily.
Thank you all for making that possible!
So many people have sent us emails, messages, and direct messages of support - we have read every one and will respond to each in the coming days. Thank you all! We love each and every one of you!
Please help me honor Pat Tillman, a pro NFL player who abandoned it all to enlist in the U.S Army (75th Ranger Regiment) after the 9/11 attacks happened. He would have been 48 years old today.
HOLY SH*T 🚨 Donald Trump announces HUGE news. He is going to throw America’s 250th big Birthday Party 🇺🇸 🎂
“We want to make it the BEST of all time” 🔥
God Truly saved Trump for this moment 🙏
