This is heartbreaking! 💔 A video compilation by Austin Metcalf's girlfriend, Tatum, of Tiktok videos they did together and Austin's voicemails to her. You could tell he loved her so, so much ! 😭
Wow
Beautiful Memorial Day message from Spencer Pratt
This is Presidential level stuff
I have never seen someone running for office or elected official in California do something like this
There's been talk about moving the dates of the Triple Crown to make it easier for the horses.
As we wait on the decision whether or not Golden Tempo will run in the Preakness, I find this answer by Trainer Cherie DeVaux interesting.
"It's hard to win for a reason"
An amazing @GeorgeStrait concert last night! What a way to start with @codyjohnson and the crowd singing God Bless America in Death Valley. @clemsonuniversity
All I know, is that I’m on the side that doesn’t kill anyone, nor celebrates the killing of anyone, nor fantasizes about the killing of anyone...
…just for winning an election
That’s what side I’m on.
I just got a phone call from my kid's school.
They have cancelled his classes for this Friday, May 1st so that school staff can go protest.
I'm so pissed.
Every parent I know is scrambling for childcare right now, trying to take off work, they have NO IDEA what they are going to do.
How does this happen?!
How can they just cancel school for my kid so they can play activist when they should be teaching him TO READ AND DO MATH?!
This may be our last straw...
Homeschooling feels inevitable at this point.
I'm so sick of this... I've been holding my toungue but I will do so no longer.
If you want to fix the public schools, you are going to have to do the hard things that NOTHING in this protest will do:
1) DEPORT ALL THE ILLEGAL ALIENS and funding per AMERICAN student will increase DRASTICALLY
How do I know?
Because when ICE came to Charlotte NC, guess how many kids didn't show up to school?
30,000 kids.
Yes, nearly 20% of ALL KIDS didn't show up to school because of ICE, so what does that tell you about how many illegal aliens we have going to our public schools in this country?
2) DRASTICALLY DEFUND THE ADMINISTRATIVE STAFF.
There are HUNDREDS OF PEOPLE in school administration in North Carolina right now making $200,000-$315,0000.
Guess what?
None of them are teachers.
Guess which positions in schools have grown in the past 10 years?
Number of students: 2.5% increase
Number of teachers: 2.2% increase
Number of administrators: 45% increase
Number of consultants: 107% increase
You want to pay teachers more?
Great, then you now know EXACTLY where to look.
Because the "middle-management" for North Carolina schools grew 20x FASTER than the student population, so there's a good place to start.
Sorry for the rant...
I've been patient.
I've been engaged.
I've gone to the meetings.
I've read the emails.
I've donated, a LOT.
I'm really close to just being done.
If the public school system thinks canceling class so the adults can go to a rally is acceptable, then the public school system has told me exactly what it values.
And it isn't my kid.
Texas Republicans take 73% of districts in a state they won by 15%
Media: 🚨 FASCISM!!!! 🚨
Virginia Democrats take 91% of districts in a state they won by 5%
Media: 😍 DEMOCRACY 😍
Every year, I repost this same video on Good Friday.
Every year, it brings me to absolute tears and stops me in my tracks.
What's so good about Good Friday?
In the midst of what can only be described as complete darkness, torture, evil, and death... God in His abundant, enduring, everlasting love for us reverses the curse of sin to bring salvation to each of us, individually.
I truly believe we are living in a far-too-often very dark time in human history. The demons are getting loud, but so are those fighting for God and proclaiming the truth.
It's why you're seeing a true revival led by young people to seek the light in the midst of the darkness, inspired by the abundant, unconditional, endless love of God offering Himself for us.
Good Friday is GOOD, always, because even in the darkness of death and the shadow of sin, Jesus is at work fighting for us. God is always working all things together for GOOD, even when we can’t understand how or see it with our own two eyes.
Don't be discouraged by the evil out there. GOOD is still present, if we know where to look for it.
