If you needed another reason to move to Florida, just know that my kids school district sent this letter out to every parent and student in the county last night, welcoming them back to school with a letter from President Trump.

I've never seen anything like it, but I love it.

An elephant was found struggling to stay afloat nearly 10 miles out at sea. No one knew how much longer he could keep swimming.

The exhausted animal, later nicknamed "Jumbo," had likely been swept out into the ocean by strong currents while crossing a lagoon between two jungle areas in Sri Lanka.

Spotted about eight nautical miles (15 kilometers) off the coast of Kokkuthuduwai, Kokilai by a Sri Lanka Navy patrol vessel, the elephant was fighting to stay afloat.

"They can't keep swimming for long because they burn a lot of energy. And the salt water isn't good for their skin, so in this case, the situation probably warranted human intervention."

What followed was an extraordinary 12-hour rescue mission.

Navy divers, multiple boats, and officials from Sri Lanka's Department of Wildlife worked together to save the struggling giant. In dramatic footage released by the Navy, rescuers can be seen surrounding the elephant, with one sailor even climbing onto its back as the team carefully used ropes to guide it toward land.

Slowly, hour by hour, they escorted the exhausted animal back to shore.

"It was a miraculous escape for the elephant," Navy spokesman Chaminda Walakuluge said. "The animal had likely got swept into the sea."

Once safely back on land, Jumbo was handed over to wildlife officials to recover before eventually being returned to the wild.

Thank you for taking care for the turtles. I have 10 tortoises and three turtles I dearly love and they all have different personalities and quirks. 🐢🐢🐢🐢🐢🐢🐢🐢🐢🐢🐢🐢🐢

I am not a fan of late cutting hay, because of nutrition. But our farm is not just a cool season mixed grass, so it doesn't hurt as much. It was nice to see not as much intrusion to the nesting turtles by cutting later. It likely also helped for many other things also.

What a hero!

[Mr PitBull Stories @MrPitbull07]

Nobody in Walton County knew who was buying up the Panhandle. Timber companies sold him tract after tract. Sod farms. Played-out peanut fields. Pine that had been cut and cut again. The buyer was a timber and oil commodities trader, and he never told a single seller what he wanted it for.

He was buying it so it could NEVER be developed again.

Marion Clifton Davis grew up on the wrong side of the tracks in the Florida Panhandle. He summed up the whole childhood in one sentence: "I grew up with five other people in 300 square feet in a wore-out trailer on a dirt road."

He gambled his way out, hustling pool and poker from the time he was 16 until he was 30. It paid for a political science degree and then a law degree. He moved the winnings into land and mineral rights, and they turned into hundreds of millions of dollars.

He had spent his entire life climbing out of that trailer, and he got all the way to the top of it. Then he said this: "I finally made some money and it wasn't what it was advertised to be."

What changed him was a traffic jam. Stuck in a line of cars going nowhere, he read a high school marquee advertising a presentation on the Florida black bear. He pulled out of the line and walked in.

"I hate to confess to this. I didn't know Florida even had black bears at the time." He gave the two women running the presentation enough money to keep going for another two years, then asked them for a reading list and spent the next year working through Thoreau, John Muir, and a Harvard biologist named E.O. Wilson.

In 2000, he started buying. He spent roughly $90 million assembling more than 50,000 acres along the Choctawhatchee River, tract by tract, never tipping his hand until each deal closed. He named it Nokuse. It is the Muscogee word for black bear.

Then he did the thing no land man does. He took it apart. His crews thinned 22,000 acres of pulpwood pine and hand-planted EIGHT MILLION longleaf seedlings across 24,000 acres, scattered in deliberately random patterns so the forest would never come back in rows. They burned about 10,000 acres a year on purpose, because longleaf needs fire.

He told people it was a 300-year project.

In 2009 he spent $12 million of his own money on a 28,000-square-foot science center for Panhandle schoolkids. He named it for E.O. Wilson. Not for himself.

In November 2014, doctors found stage 4 lung cancer. He kept working. That June he sat down with a national radio crew and said it plainly: "I'm dying, as we all are. It's well advanced."

He got 15 years of the 300.

M.C. Davis died on July 11, 2015, eight months after the diagnosis. Not one tree he planted had grown tall enough to matter yet.

He spent thirty years learning how to take. He spent the rest putting it back.

Around here, thousands of Panhandle fourth graders get loaded onto a school bus and driven out to that center. Almost none of them ever find out who paid for the trip.

Then the bears came back.

They cross under US 331 now, through three wildlife underpasses finished in 2012, funneled in by a mile and a half of fence on both sides of the four-lane highway. The man who did not know Florida had black bears built them a way under the road. They den on land named after them.

Nokuse Preserve is 56,258 acres today, endowed and permanently protected, the largest private conservation project east of the Mississippi River. More than 3,800 gopher tortoises pulled off Florida development sites have been released there since 2006. In 2025 the E.O. Wilson Biophilia Center took in 5,500 students from 56 schools, and it charged none of them a dollar.

A longleaf pine can live 400 years. The seedlings put in the ground in 2004 are barely out of childhood, and the forest he was actually aiming at will not stand until sometime around the year 2300. He knew that when he wrote the checks.

M.C. Davis, a poor kid from a dirt road, spent everything he ever won on a forest he would never walk through.

[Clandestine @WarClandestine]

I think athletes like Aaron Rodgers, Cole Beasley, Kyrie Irving, Novak Djokovic, Bryson DeChambeau, etc., all deserve a MASSIVE apology from the media.

These people were objectively correct about masks/vax, and the ��experts” and sheep were wrong. All the athletes who stood up to this insanity were treated like villains, and maliciously smeared by the media, and they deserve respect for standing up when it was the unpopular thing to do.

Unfortunately, I can say from personal experience, that day is never coming. None of us will ever get an apology. The Fauci-worshippers have quietly backtracked, and are content with pretending they didn’t try to put us all in camps, all based on lies.

They will never openly admit they were wrong, but deep down, they know. It’s up to us to never let them forget it, and never let them assume power of any kind again.

A tiny sandwich shop decided to take a chance...

They heard Liam Neeson was filming Hard Powder nearby, so they wrote a joke on their chalkboard:

"Liam Neeson eats here for free."

On the other side, they added:

"Come in and get TAKEN away by our sandwiches."

They figured he'd never see it.

Seven hours later...

The door opened.

Liam Neeson walked in.

In his signature deep, gravelly voice, he looked at the staff and asked,

"Where is my free sandwich?"

The entire shop was in shock.

Although he didn't have time to stay and eat, he happily posed for photos with the amazed staff before heading out.

The surprise visit became such a memorable moment that the shop later created a sandwich in his honor...

"The Neeson."

What started as a funny chalkboard joke turned into a story the shop will never forget. 🥪🎬

⚠️ FRAMERS, THAT HOUSE YOU'RE BUILDING BY HAND IS BEING BUILT BY A ROBOT CREW SOMEWHERE ELSE RIGHT NOW

A dozen Tesla Optimus units just framed an entire house from the foundation up, no scaffolding crew, no framing contractor, nobody standing around waiting on materials.

Framing is one of the hardest jobs on a site. You're balancing on trusses, reading blueprints on the fly, and timing every cut so the whole structure lines up by the time the roof goes on. It's the kind of work people spend years getting good at.

Now watch what's happening in the footage. The robots are climbing the frame, setting studs, running the roof trusses, and doing it as a full crew, the way an actual framing team would, except none of them stop for lunch and none of them call in hurt.

Nobody expected robots to learn a full trade before they learned to walk normally. They're already building the house.

If you still think construction is years away from automation, the frame is already up.

Florida dumped 500,000 tons of recycled oyster shells into the gulf and revived a dying marine ecosystem.

Natural restaurant waste may be the ultimate tool for reef restoration.

Between 2007 and 2024, Florida embarked on an unusual ecological experiment. The state dumped over 500,000 tons of discarded oyster and clam shells, collected directly from restaurant plates and processing plants, into the gulf. Critics initially slammed the move as reckless dumping, fearing it would further harm the region’s fragile, sandy seafloor.

Even researchers initially doubted the project, as no visible progress occurred for years. However, beneath the surface, the rotting shells were quietly undergoing a chemical transformation. This started with the growth of essential biofilms and the release of calcium that created vital chemical microzones for marine survival.

As the old shells disintegrated, they provided a perfect solid foundation for living baby oysters to attach and thrive. These active oysters filtered the water, combating toxic algae blooms and triggering a trophic cascade that brought fish, turtle, and dolphin populations back to levels not seen in 25 years.

This massive environmental victory has captured the attention of marine biologists worldwide, with similar shell-recycling programs now taking root across the U.S. coastlines and Europe. The project proves that simple, natural waste, when thoughtfully repurposed, can successfully reverse decades of human-caused marine degradation.

🚨 WOW! Aaron Rodgers just WENT OFF

"I'm gonna plead the 5th...like that absolute COWARD! Tony Fauci! Absolute coward. Are you kidding me? You got a pardon, you pleaded over 100 times? What are you SCARED of Tony?! I thought you were the 'science.' You were 'I AM SCIENCE!'"

"And you get up there and can't answer a question?"

"And how much time did the network spend on that? How much time did they spend on my responses every week? My vaccination status? On Taylor and Travis' wedding? Did they do even a minute on Tony Fauci?! I bet they didn't."

Apparently Anthony Fauci is now saying that his life is in danger because of all of the accusations that are coming from Trump supporters about his crimes during COVID...

My recommendation for him?

Just tell everyone to stay 6 feet away and he should be completely safe

Every night she rings a dinner bell… and the whole farm starts heading to bed.

The goats, pigs, and chickens all know exactly where they belong. Each one has their own little house with their name on the door, and she says goodnight to every single one of them.

She even built a special doorway with cutouts so the goat with the long horns can fit through easily. It’s the sweetest detail.

These animals are clearly living their best lives.

[Dr. Simone Gold @drsimonegold]

July 2020. Steps of the Supreme Court. America’s Frontline Doctors stood in white coats and told the American people the truth the regime did not want spoken:

COVID was treatable.

Early treatment worked.

Nobody needed to die.

Lockdowns were never necessary.

We were censored within hours. Facebook, Twitter, YouTube erased the video. Careers were destroyed. Doctors were threatened. Patients were denied the medicine that could have saved them.

They called us dangerous.

They were the danger.

History has already rendered its verdict. We were right. They lied. And the people paid the price in lives, liberty, and lost years.

Watch it. Share it. Bookmark it.

Never let them memory-hole what they did.

The truth was never the threat.

Their power was.

[W B Nancy @WBNancy1]

Way to go RFK Jr. you are a hero to so many of us👍👍👍👍👍

[Overton @overton_news]

This was a long-overdue moment on CNN.

RFK Jr. called out the network on air for helping to silence dissent during COVID.

Dana Bash was getting visibly irritated, after she repeatedly tried to move the conversation away from censorship.

Then he aimed his fire at Dana Bash directly: “Of course you want to move on because you were part of the problem!”

KENNEDY: “We need to protect our constitutional rights. That is the primary obligation in our country.”

BASH: “What does that mean?”

KENNEDY: “Well, during COVID, we completely dismantled our constitutional rights. We began censoring people in violation of the First Amendment.”

BASH: “You’re saying what not to do, I’m asking what to do.”

KENNEDY: “Well, that’s something to do. That is the number one priority: we protect the Constitution.”

BASH: “Forgive me, but you’re talking about rights and I’m asking about a potential public health crisis that is coming. But I do want to… let’s…”

KENNEDY: “And one of the mistakes we made last time was suppressing those rights. So people weren’t being heard. Doctors who were saying, ‘You’re doing it wrong,’ were being marginalized and vilified.”

BASH: “Again, I really want to move on…”

KENNEDY: “Yeah, of course you want to move on because you were part of the problem!”

BASH: “No! I wasn’t part of the problem!”

KENNEDY: “There was absolute press malpractice. Your job is to have a fierce skepticism toward authority, and you weren’t doing that.”

“You were beating up on people who were dissenting!”
