@RobertsforCD2 @charliekirk11@sonyacsa FYI...Trump NEVER attacks anyone FIRST. Remember that! He only retaliates when someone attacks him or one of his Family members FIRST (you need to pay attention). In addition, he would NEVER attack a Family member of one of his opponents.
Sylvester Stallone with his dad Frank Stallone Sr. and brother Frank Stallone Jr. in Gioia del Colle, Apulia, Italy in 1965....
Sylvester was 19 when he visited Gioia del Colle, the southern Italian town from which his paternal family originated. His father, Francesco “Frank” Stallone Sr., was born in Gioia del Colle in 1919 and emigrated to the United States as a child. Sylvester’s grandfather Silvestro had worked as a barber before the family left Italy.
Stallone had grown up in a turbulent household. His parents had an extremely contentious marriage and divorced when he was young. Stallone later described his father as exceptionally tough and said he himself became aggressive and difficult as a teenager. He attended numerous schools, was expelled from several, and spent time at a school for troubled youths.
Around 17, he went to the American College of Switzerland, where he became involved in acting. He later struggled financially while pursuing acting, taking small roles before writing the screenplay that became Rocky. Released in 1976, the film turned him into an international star.
Nearly six decades after this visit, Sylvester and Frank returned to Gioia del Colle in September 2023. Both were awarded honorary citizenship in a public ceremony.
During that 2023 return, Stallone visited the building where his grandfather had operated his barbershop and was presented with the original key to the shop. He held it up before the crowd, connecting his family’s emigration from this small Italian town directly to the life that eventually produced Rocky.

@AXSTV What a blessing he was to her, and that they were to each other. She deserved a good man, as we all do, but after the horror she had to live with Ike, being with Erwin must have been a dream come true!
Tina Turner had hypertension, which affected her kidneys and required a lifesaving kidney donation from her husband, Erwin Bach, in 2017. After that, she wrote an essay for the Show Your Kidneys Love campaign, which spreads awareness about kidney disease.

The Perseids meteor shower has returned, and the color of each meteor reveals its composition!
Every summer, Earth travels through a trail of dust and rocky particles shed by Comet 109P/Swift-Tuttle. As these fragments burn up in our atmosphere, they produce one of the year's most impressive meteor displays.
The Perseids are currently active and will reach their peak on the night of August 12 to 13. Under perfect conditions, the shower can deliver up to 100 meteors per hour, though observers in dark rural areas typically see 30 to 50.
This year promises one of the best shows in recent memory, as the peak aligns with a new moon. Without bright moonlight interfering, even fainter meteors will be easier to spot.
What makes the Perseids especially captivating is that a meteor's color indicates the elements burning as it races through the atmosphere at around 132,000 miles per hour.
🔴 Red = Oxygen and nitrogen in the atmosphere
🟡 Yellow-gold = Iron
🟣 Violet = Calcium
🟠 Orange = Sodium
🔵 Blue-green = Magnesium
Many meteors contain multiple elements, so they may appear white or shift colors while streaking across the sky. The brightest ones often create fireballs with glowing trails that linger for seconds.
For the best viewing experience, choose a dark site away from city lights, allow your eyes to adjust for at least 20 minutes, and observe after midnight into the early morning hours.
Elon Musk just said the one thing about America they made sure you’d never learn.
The one thing that should’ve made you proud, not ashamed.
Musk: “After World War 2, the US could have basically taken over the world and any country. Like we got nukes, nobody else got nukes. We don’t even have to lose soldiers. Which country do you want?”
One nation held a weapon no civilization had ever possessed.
Total monopoly on destruction. No rival. No consequence. No limit.
Every empire in history that held that kind of power did the only thing empires know how to do.
They took until there was nothing left to take.
America had a greater advantage than all of them combined.
And rebuilt the nations it just defeated.
Musk: “The United States actually helped rebuild countries. So it helped rebuild Europe, it helped rebuild Japan. This is very unusual behavior, almost unprecedented.”
Not almost unprecedented.
It had never happened. Not once in 5,000 years of recorded civilization.
The nation with the power to take everything chose to rebuild instead.
Enemies became allies. Rubble became economies. Surrender became partnership.
Germany went from ashes to the economic engine of Europe in a single generation.
Japan went from unconditional surrender to the third largest economy on earth.
Three years after the war, America was flying food into Berlin.
Into the capital of the country that just tried to end the free world.
That decision reshaped every economy, every alliance, and every trade route on the planet.
Billions of people lifted out of poverty over the next half century trace back to one moment. One nation choosing restraint over domination.
No other country in history can make that claim. Not one.
Musk: “There’s always like, well America’s done bad things. Well of course America’s done bad things, but one needs to look at the whole track record.”
Every nation on earth has blood in its history.
But the measure of a nation was never its worst chapter.
It’s what it does when nobody can stop it.
When nobody could stop America, it fed its enemies and rebuilt their cities.
You’re being told every day that this country is something to be ashamed of.
By people who have no idea what the world looks like without it.
Every free market. Every open border for trade. Every democracy that took root outside Europe stands in the shadow of that single decision.
The values that built this country didn’t just shape America.
They shaped the modern world.
AI is about to hand a small number of people a power advantage that makes nuclear monopoly look primitive.
1945 was the first test.
AI is the last.
That power is going to exist. The only question left is who holds it.
The most powerful thing America ever did wasn’t building the bomb.
It was having the power to take everything and choosing not to.
The people trying hardest to tear that story down have never built a single thing worth defending.
@AZ_Brittney NO, I'm NOT ashamed of Trump as President! He's Awesome! He just needs to get a little more sleep! But he is working his self hard to get things done in a timely manner. I have the utmost respect in him and what he is trying to accomplish.
Happy Birthday to the 45th and 47th President of the United States, Donald J. Trump. A relentless patriot who fights every day for the country he loves, the people he serves, and the American Dream. 🇺🇸🇺🇸
🚨 JAMES WOODS JUST DROPPED THE MIC ON THESE LUNATICS:
“If you’re still a Democrat and you support mutilating 5-year-olds because they like the color pink, you’re just a MONSTER.”
“I’m done with Democrats. If you’re still a Democrat now, you’re NUTS!”
Before Jesse Jackson’s funeral, his son asked attendees not to “bring your politics” into the service, but every single Democrat who spoke ignored his wishes and turned his father’s funeral into a political rally.
🚨 WOW! This moment is resurfacing of DHS Sec. nominee Markwayne Mullin saying in President Trump's 2020 campaign, he dropped EVERYTHING to visit Mullin's young son in the hospital after a bad wrestling accident
They will work GREAT together! 🇺🇸https://t.co/wR5RGKsmay
"He flew to Bakersfield CA JUST to meet my son! And sat there and encouraged him and talked to him."
"They tried to get him to leave...he looked at them, 'hey, guarantee you the plane won't leave without me!'"
"Did that win him a vote? Were there cameras around? The only thing he cared about was him [the son]."
"Someone that loves on your kids — that makes a huge difference. He didn't do it for fanfare, no social media release. Just him being who he is. That's the guy I know well!"
