Toyota released a pro-life ad highlighting Lauren Woolstencroft—born without legs—who went on to defy the odds and become an 8X Paralympic gold medalist.
Most babies with disabilities are aborted.
This is one of the best commercials I’ve ever seen.
The World Cup ends today. One game left. By tomorrow most of you visitors will be packing up, heading to the airport, going home.
So before you go, let me say the thing I actually want to say.
A few weeks ago I wrote a silly post about all the things you were discovering here. Free refills. Free water. Ice like civilized people. Chips and salsa before you even order. Air conditioning that is a fact and not a moral debate. Drive-throughs. Ranch by the gallon. The Germans standing in the HEB meat aisle in reverent silence, finally understanding why we do not have trains. Buc-ee’s, for which there are still no words.
It blew up, because it was true, and because you were so delightfully stunned by all of it.
Even the Wall Street Journal caught on. Their headline this week: how the US lost the World Cup and won over the world. We did not lift the trophy. But apparently we lifted something else.
We even learned a few things about ourselves along the way. Like the fact that Elon Musk, the single richest man on the planet, shops at HEB. Just rolls in and queues up for fresh tortillas with everybody else. The man could buy the tortilla company, the state it is in, and the moon it sits under, and instead he is standing in line at the hot-tortilla counter like the rest of us, because that is where the good ones are. Only in America is the wealthiest human alive elbow to elbow with a mom of four at the salsa bar. That is the whole country in one aisle.
And here is the part I want every one of you to hear on your way out the door.
None of it was a show.
We did not roll all this out because you were coming. The ice was always there. The refills were always free. The grocery stores were always the size of aircraft hangars at ten on a Tuesday. The stranger who adopted your whole section, the guy who gave you a ride, the waitress who remembered your order, the family that invited you to the cookout, that is not World Cup America. That is just America. That is Tuesday.
We are exactly like this when nobody is visiting. Loud, generous, ridiculous, overfed, and genuinely thrilled you came. We will still be exactly like this tomorrow when the stands are empty and the flags come down.
So thank you. To everyone who came, who sang in our streets, who cleaned our stadiums, who turned our cities orange and filled our bars and taught us your chants. You were wonderful guests, and you made a country that just turned 250 feel young and seen and loved.
And to everyone who could not make it this time, the door does not close today. We meant all of it. Come whenever. The porch light stays on, the fridge stays full, and there is always room for one more at the table.
You found out who we are these last few weeks.
Good news. We are like this all the time.
Safe travels home.
Y’all come back now, you hear. 🦋
🇦🇷 ABSOLUTE MADNESS IN NYC RIGHT NOW!
🗽Times Square is completely overrun by Argentines — they shut down every street around it because the crowd is INSANE!
🔥 What’s going on?! This energy is next level!
🚨#BREAKING: Two boys on paddle-boards are being praised as heroes after heartwarming footage emerged of them RESCUING A DROWNING RACCOON during the Texas storms.
The two boys, Tucker and Owen saw the raccoon being sucked under by the current, scooped it out of the water, saving it's life.
The animal crawled underneath Tucker's legs, hiding from the rain and the storm.
They paddled him all the way to shore through the storm and let him go.
Absolutely awesome!!!!!! ❤️
"A guy looked at my airplane the other day and said I wonder how many people I could have fed for the price of that airplane...
I replied I am not sure, it fed a lot of families at the Dassault factory where it was built. I’m sure it fed a bunch of families that rolled the aluminum at the Alcoa factory. It surely fed a lot of people at the Honeywell factory where the experts built the turbines. It fed a whole company for a few weeks when I had them build me a new interior. It feeds the families of the linemen that fuel it.
That’s the difference between capitalism and a welfare mentality. When you buy something, you put money in people's pockets, and give them dignity for their skills.
When you give someone something for nothing, you rob them of their dignity and self worth.
Capitalism is freely giving your money in exchange for something of value.
Socialism is taking your money against your will and shoving something down your throat that you never asked for."
This is so good. Seriously - watch this.
He does an excellent job explaining why the Palestinian hoax works so well on "Western suckers who need to feel morally superior while staying intellectually lazy."
So many gems in this video.
I don’t know who he is, but he’s incredibly sharp.
A must-watch.
WOAH 🚨 Investigative journalist Catherine Herridge reviewed the documents just released by the Trump Admin on election integrity and finds CIA emails showing they were working against Donald Trump to aid China and the Democrats in the 2020 election
“I've been digging into the documents already and I found this November 2020 email, and it specifically states, it's a conversation among intelligence officials, it specifically states that they have, quote, deliberately massaged one of our pending PDBs. That's the president's daily brief. To avoid any direct links to the election”
“This was a massive effort, what they call a multi-domain operation. That means trade, it means diplomacy, it means open-source information, it means social media. So all the levers of power China had to influence the US election”
And our own CIA worked to make sure the r President wasn’t aware of any of this information, they literally removed it from his daily briefing
Literally treason
“In the summer of 2020, as we're heading into the election, in the intelligence community there were indicators of this Chinese influence operation. Influence operations means that you're trying to affect the outcome of how people vote or their sentiment about a presidential candidate.
It's different than an interference operation, which is penetrating voting rolls and voter systems. And this whistleblower was raising the alarm about the influence operation, and then suddenly it all was suppressed”
“In some of their reports, there were in officials' own handwriting that they wanted everything out that could help President Trump in his reelection. So there was clear evidence of political and personal bias”
They wanted to remove EVERYTHING that could possibly help Trump win reelection
Again, literally treason
Also if you remember awhile back, a former CIA officer named Pedro Israel Orta who worked at the CIA during the Trump Administration said the CIA didn’t even recognize him as the President, they wouldn’t even put his picture up on the wall which was customary for all Presidents
They were actively working against him
Californians were forced to pay a fee on their phone bill for years to fund a new 911 system. The Newsom Administration spent $450 million before deciding the design wouldn't work and scrapping it.
Now, we've learned the state is spending another $194 million on a "bridge" contract to maintain service while they try to figure out a new design. This kind of waste is why California taxpayers pay the most yet get the least in return.
Warner Bros is going under. That's why they're selling. Low IQ communists know NOTHING about economics, so they lie that a Paramount acquisition will shed jobs. WB is already slashing jobs! If they don't sell, ALL the jobs go away. My goodness this scammer is so dumb.
In fairness my siblings and I were all homeschooled and all we did was get full rides to college, write speeches for presidents, become senior admin officials and decorated war heroes while on the other hand Jennifer Welch has a podcast.
The “I PLAY ROCKY” trailer just dropped about the true origin story of Sylvester Stallone.
This is as AMERICA as it gets. 🇺🇸
This just RIPPED My face off.
