🚨Huge Update on Our Hero Lifeguard Ryder Williams 16yrs
Ryder says he refused to let go of the child because he knew the boy would almost certainly die if he did
Ryder’s father Shane “I almost started crying because how determined he was to save that boy’s life makes me so proud.”
Shockingly, Ryder made ANOTHER rescue that day under circumstances MORE difficult than the ones seen on the viral clip, pulling 2 more people to safety
Ryder has proven to be extremely humble, stating he doesn’t understand all the attention because he was just doing what anyone else would.
Several bystanders went against policy to help Ryder save the drowning boy, but the surf rebuffed them, and they retreated.
Ryder’s parents attribute his incredible water skills to years of playing intense water polo, where he played the position of hole set, which means constantly fighting off opponents. His parents joked about being uncomfortable “with everyone trying to drown our boy”.
Ryder and his family have been involved to the White House by President Trump, where Ryder will receive a civilian award 🥇
NEW UPDATE: A parasite outbreak is causing explosive diarrhea across America. A woman in Denver went to the bathroom FORTY TIMES (!!) in a SINGLE DAY. She's one of THOUSANDS of Americans hit by a parasite most people had never heard of a week ago: Cyclospora cayetanensis. Even scarier: washing your salad won't stop it, freezing won't kill it, and one state is reporting TWICE as many cases as the CDC says exist in the whole country. Everyone is behind the curve, and I did HOURS of research to help you stay safe and protect your loved ones. ❤️
Before the weekend ends and America moves on to the next headline, we need to pause and look at a story that matters more than almost any other—the collapse of Venezuela, and what it warns us about if the last democratic superpower ever falls the same way.
This didn’t happen overnight. It happened step by step, over one generation.
VENEZUELA: HOW A PROSPEROUS NATION COLLAPSED
1992
Venezuela is the 3rd richest country in the Western Hemisphere, powered by oil and a growing middle class.
1997
Venezuelans become the 2nd largest buyers of Ford F-150s—a sign of widespread prosperity.
1998
Hugo Chávez is elected, promising to “redistribute wealth” and fix inequality.
2001
The country votes again for socialism, framed as compassion and fairness.
2003
The government imposes price controls and currency controls.
Black markets appear. Shortages begin.
2004
Private healthcare is fully socialized.
2006
Inflation rises sharply as massive welfare programs expand without real economic backing.
2007
All higher education becomes “free.”
2008
Key industries—oil services, steel, cement, telecom—are nationalized.
Production drops almost immediately.
2009
Private gun ownership is banned.
2010
The currency is devalued by 50%, crushing savings and accelerating inflation.
2011
Oil production begins a steady decline due to mismanagement and lack of investment.
2012
American politicians, like Bernie Sanders, publicly praise Venezuela’s model.
2013
Chávez dies. Nicolás Maduro takes power and tightens state control.

GDP collapses. Hyperinflation begins.
2016
Severe food and medical shortages spread nationwide.
2017

Unarmed civilians are killed by their own government.
2020
More than 8 million people flee the country to escape hunger and repression.
2023
Minor economic improvements fail to relieve mass poverty.
2024
Disputed elections trigger protests and global isolation.
2026
Maduro is removed by force. Venezuela is liberated after decades of ruin.
THE HARD TRUTH
It took one generation of “progressive” leadership to turn one of the richest countries on Earth into a nation defined by hunger, fear, mass graves, and mass migration.
This is the lesson history keeps teaching:
You can vote your way into socialism.
But history shows people only escape it through collapse, violence, or foreign intervention.
And here is the part Americans must understand clearly:
If this happens in the United States, there will be nobody coming to save us.
No outside superpower.
No rescue force.
No second chance.
Freedom is fragile. Prosperity is not guaranteed.
And once lost, they are brutally hard to recover.
Venezuela’s people paid the price.
America cannot afford to learn this lesson the same way.
Imagine being forced to give someone 6.2% of your paycheck, every single check, every month, for 30 to 50 years of your life.
And that person said, "Don't worry, I'm holding this for you and will pay it back to you on a monthly basis, when you retire at 65."
And then they said, "Nah, just kidding. I meant when you retire at 67. And at that time, I'll only give you 70% of what you paid me."
And then they said, "Oops, I spent all your money. You're out of luck."
That's the U.S. government.
BREAKING - More than $25,000 has been raised in mere hours for Dasha, the Texas woman who was doxxed, fired, and subjected to death threats after confronting a pair of Muslim women who instigated her and then began filming her response at a grocery store.
FSU linebacker Ethan Pritchard, who was shot in the head 10 months ago, took his first steps without a walker while celebrating his 19th birthday with his family 🙏🏻💯
I‘m a traitor because I‘m honest and share my real experience I’ve made in the US talking to Americans instead of just following the news blindly? Then I love to be a traitor!
This South African family will be given refuge in the United States. They so want to be here for the 4th.
Give her a follow. When the family lands in the US, we can share in their joy and wonder.
Middle School teacher is sounding the alarm on how many children are lacking very basic skills, even fine & gross motor skills.
Interesting observation that boys seem to be constantly touching each other, whereas it used to be girls who hug one another, etc.
I am so proud of Team 30! Here is your friendly reminder that we are more than just the softball players you see on the field. Before commenting on someone’s performance, remember there is a human behind the jersey🤍
They'll never know they joy they bring to us all. They'll never know the memories they help families create.
But they will know that they are loved and appreciated. As student-athletes. As people.
Thank you for an incredible spring, and a remarkable week in OKC @AlabamaSB
