Love this. A little girl comforted her frightened baby brother during bedtime by reminding him of the peace found in Christ.
“God is inside of you… and He can protect you.”
Watch.
Continue to pray for the people of Venezuela. Many in the area around Caracas and La Guaira have gone more than a week without medical care because hospitals are damaged and overwhelmed with patients. Our Emergency Field Hospital has been open for two days and we have already treated 322 patients. John Barrett, the Chargé d'Affaires for the @usembassyve in Caracas, visited our team yesterday, and a few hours later, the hospital was visited by Venezuela’s Interim President Delcy Rodríguez. We were grateful they could each see the work that our teams of doctors, nurses, and other staff are doing in Jesus’ Name. We appreciate all that the U.S. government has done to help expedite and support our relief efforts on the ground in Venezuela.
Balogun was in on goal. He beat the defender and was about to score.
No red card. No penalty. No yellow card. No foul. No review.
The bizarre thing is that Fox Sports showed a replay that began just AFTER the defender let go of the arm. So weird. How could the officials miss this? And how could the TV crew miss it as well? @USMNT
Per the rules, holding a player back while trying to score IN THE BOX especially, is a RED CARD! And an automatic PK!!!
Why wasn’t this called?
Consistency eases anger!

Several people commented on my interview with @JeremyDBoreing saying I was risking my life.
If you believe Islam is that dangerous to free speech, why are you silent?
There’s safety in numbers. If everyone spoke, The jihadists couldn’t kill us all.
Instead everyone waits for someone else to go first, one speaker gets killed or silenced, then the next, and the crowd that could have protected all of us never shows up.
Keep choosing to be a coward, and eventually there’s no one left to speak.
In 1951, Rose Totino walked into a Minneapolis bank asking for $1,500 to build her frozen pizza empire. The manager said no.
He didn't just reject the application. He didn't know what she was selling. She called it "pizza." He had never heard the word. It was a regional food, mostly confined to East Coast Italian immigrant neighborhoods. In the Midwest, it was alien. Rose had a high school education and a recipe from her mother. The bank had strict lending rules for women. The answer was a flat denial.
Instead of leaving, she asked the manager if he had an oven at home. He did. She told him not to eat lunch the next day.
The next morning, she stood in the small kitchen she shared with her husband, Jim. They were barely scraping by. Rose spent the hours before dawn kneading dough, simmering tomatoes, and slicing cheese.
The raw pie went into a square box. She carried it back to the bank. Bypassing the tellers, she walked straight into the manager's office. She handed him the box and gave him baking instructions. He took it home.
At the time, the banking industry relied heavily on character loans, but character was defined by collateral and male guarantors. The commercial lending guidelines of the early 1950s made no provision for culinary demonstration. Women could rarely secure business capital without a husband's signature, let alone for a product the loan officer couldn't pronounce.
The manager baked it. He ate it.
He called her the next morning. He approved the $1,500.
They opened a takeout shop. It was so small they had to store fifty-pound bags of extra flour in the backseat of their family car. But the city had tasted it. Lines formed around the block. They paid off the loan. Then they bought a factory.
Rose realized that if she froze the dough, she could ship it across the country. Nobody had successfully mass-produced the item before. She figured out how to keep the crust from turning to cardboard. She patented the process.
They shipped them in refrigerated trucks. The food the bank manager couldn't pronounce was now in freezers from California to Maine. By 1970, Totino’s was the top-selling brand in the United States. Pillsbury bought the company in 1975 for nearly $20 million.
She didn't argue with the rejection. She just gave the manager baking instructions.
She became the first female vice president in Pillsbury’s history. She sat in boardrooms with men who had Ivy League degrees. She still tasted the test batches herself.
The original takeout shop closed years ago. The brand she started now sells hundreds of millions of units a year. The recipe has changed. The boxes look different. The freezer aisle in every grocery store in America is built on a $1,500 gamble by a man who didn't know what he was eating.
Rose Totino: the woman who taught America how to eat pizza.
One woman’s vision created a culinary shift in America
Did you know this?
🚨 IT'S OFFICIAL: US Attorney Jeanine Pirro announces a DC grand jury indicted former Olympic canoeist David Hearn, who was caught RIPPING the sealant in the reflecting pool, on FELONY DESTRUCTION OF PROPERTY
FAFO. Hearn is facing 10 YEARS in prison
"Our evidence further shows that the National Park Service employees observed Hearn actually FORCEFULLY AND VlOLENTLY pulling up and removing the bottom liner with both hands," per Pirro
He allegedly ripped up 2 SQUARE FEET of sealant, before getting in the face and SCREAMING at a female NPS employee who confronted him.
"This was a delivered act to damage the reflecting tool at the National Mall that members of the National Park Service actually have worked hard to restore and have witnessed."
Again, this is NOT a unilateral action by the DOJ. A GRAND JURY brought the felony indictment.
I truly don’t understand this ruling, do you? Why would the Supreme Court rule that way especially when the evidence confirms it is true? So glad this son won his battle against this and that his Mom shared his story 🙏
“The picture on the left was my son after more than a gallon of glyphosate was tipped over his neck and shoulders during a work accident. This is why I won't stay quiet. My healthy, 6 ft 5, 18 year old son was taken down to 125 pounds after glyphosate seeped into his pores.
That picture? He'd turned a corner then. We all felt like he just might make it. We were celebrating. He could stand. He could get out of his hospital bed. He didn't want a picture taken at his worst - with no hair from rounds and rounds of chemo, looking more shrunken, bigger tumors. A few months before this left picture, he was at death's door, stage 4 lymphoma and the doctors didn't give us much hope he would live.
I'm one of the fortunate mothers. My son battled like a warrior. He survived and the right picture is him now. But there was a brutal seven year battle with all the alternative methods, all the chemo... so much that he became chemo resistant. Then when nothing else would stop the tumors from growing back, a stem cell transplant that wiped out his whole immune system in the hope it would restart. Many mothers.... many families are not so fortunate. They lost their loved one.
Last week the Supreme Court voted 7 to 2 that glyphosate didn't need a cancer warning. Monsanto won. Bayer won. Two of the largest companies in the world won against thousands of families. My son, our entire family and thousands of others families who have had glyphosate impact their lives felt this blow in our guts.
Eleven years ago the WHO announced it "probably causes cancer." We want the "probably" word gone. We want this monster named for who it is and what it does.
We lost the fight last week. But the battle will keep going. Mothers like me won't stop. Because we know.”

In 1783, the final remaining British troops left America in defeat.
As the last troops boarded their ships, they left one final insult behind: Greasing a flagpole with a Union Jack nailed to the top so the Americans could not raise their own colors.
John Van Arsdale, a young American, nailed wooden cleats up the pole and climbed up. He tore down the British flag and hoisted the Stars and Stripes.
It is unbelievable to me that this wasn’t a red card + penalty kick
Balogun was completely obstructed here and still hit the crossbar
He earned two PKs that weren’t called
This didn’t get VAR but an irrelevant midfield tangle led to a red card
Unreal
🚨 BREAKING: A Washington, DC grand jury has INDICTED the former Olympic canoeist who was caught tampering with the reflecting pool
The grand jury brought him up on FELONY CHARGES
This was not the DOJ — this was a jury in DEEP BLUE DC.
WOW!
To celebrate the 250th anniversary of American independence, Tokyo Tower, Rainbow Bridge, and the Tokyo Aqua Symphony will be illuminated in red, white, and blue on July 4th.
It truly was the small and unknown people behind the scenes that won our freedom.
The Culper Spy Ring, a small band of Long Island patriots whose exploits included foiling several assassination attempts on George Washington are not known much to history. They also uncovered Benedict Arnold's treason, and covertly infiltrated Redcoat brass while the British occupied Long Island. Since his days commanding British troops during the French and Indian War, Washington knew the value of spies and "demanded" them. Washington turned to an officer he could trust to recruit a spy network: Setauket native Benjamin Tallmadge of an elite fighting force called the 2nd Regiment of the Light Dragoons. He recruited friends from his childhood who he could rely on with his life. They weren't trained soldiers, they were farmers, civilians and housewives, who found it their patriotic duty to fight for their country. Most of their names are lost to history, one was simply known as "Lady," and there are believed to be about 6 of them. One thing is certain, the loyalty and sacrifices they made for this nation cannot be overlooked. Without them, we may still be living under British rule.
New letters are still being discovered today about these citizen patriots. Thank you from all of us!🇺🇸

ICYMI, this song is awesome and the love and patriotism oozes with every verse.
Celebrate America’s 250th with reverence, respect and loads of patriotism. Free we will always be thanks to the patriots who fought tirelessly to keep us this way.
🚨 BREAKING: DeSantis Strikes Hard- Florida Officially Designates CAIR, Muslim Brotherhood, & Antifa as Terrorist Organizations Effective July 1, 2026
Initial Tranche under HB 1471:
✅Council on American-Islamic Relations (CAIR): reaffirming prior EO
✅Muslim Brotherhood: reaffirming prior EO
✅Antifa: as a domestic terrorist organization
✅Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) of Iran
✅Major drug cartels & affiliates including Cartel de Sinaloa, Tren de Aragua, and over 90 foreign terrorist organizations total
These now head to the Florida Cabinet for final approval. Once designated: no state funding/contracts, material support becomes a serious crime, and other restrictions apply.
250 years ago, fifty-six men signed their names to a death warrant.
If the Revolution failed, that document was a hanging list. They knew it and they signed nonetheless. Pledging their lives, their fortunes and their sacred honor to an idea that did not yet have an army strong enough to defend it.
N.C. Wyeth painted the gap between the promise and the price.
Above, in the light and clouds, the signers commit their names.
Below them, the farmers, tradesmen and frontiersmen, are the ones who had to make those words real. In the smoke and the fight.
It took seven more years of war. Trenton. Valley Forge. Saratoga. Yorktown.
Most of the men in the struggle never signed the Declaration.
But they paid for it.
America 250 🇺🇸
