On the morning of February 27th, 2025, Dorian Pace was doing what he'd done for eleven years — driving students to school in Cleveland Heights, Ohio. Around his second or third stop, something felt wrong. The accelerator was sluggish. He kept driving toward Monticello Middle School anyway, fifteen kids chattering behind him. Then came the first boom. Pace radioed the mechanic. They said they'd send another bus. He pulled over to wait. Then came the second boom. When he looked in his right-side mirror, he saw smoke rising from the rear tire. Then flames. "I actually felt like the bus was about to blow up," he said later. Pace didn't panic. Eleven years of driving and annual evacuation drills took over. He went into what he called "bus evacuation mode." "Everybody off the bus!" The students didn't fully understand how serious it was. Some thought it was a drill. But they followed his voice. One by one, they filed through the front door — away from the fire now spreading up the side of the vehicle. Within moments of the last child stepping off, the bus was engulfed in flames. Not a single student was injured. "What was going through my mind was, 'I can't lose any kids,'" Pace recalled. "I pray on the bus every day. I try to pray before I pick up the kids. And God just answered my prayers." On Monday night, Pace was honored by the City of Cleveland Heights, Cuyahoga County, and Governor Mike DeWine. The Ohio Department of Public Safety presented him with a special coin for heroism. Andy Wilson, the department's director, said what every parent was thinking: "I would feel such a level of comfort putting my kids on one of your school buses, knowing that there are men and women of this character." Pace, ever humble, pushed back on the word "hero." "I would say I'm not really a hero," he said. "I'm a good worker. I just thank God for my life and theirs." By Friday — just two days after the fire — Dorian Pace was back behind the wheel. Because that's what good workers do. They show up.

Be honest

Prince Harry gets well protected in other countries he visit except his own country because his father and brother are petty and spiteful.

Lots going on today. Please don’t let it distract you from the Epstein survivors’ work. Read & share:

On the morning of February 22, 1943, 21-year-old Sophie Scholl stood in a Munich courtroom. Arrested four days earlier, she had endured 17 hours of interrogation and a broken leg. When the judge asked if she had anything to say, she replied: “What we said and wrote is what many people are thinking. They just don’t dare say it out loud.” Three hours later, she was beheaded by guillotine. Sophie was a biology and philosophy student at the University of Munich. Her “crime” was distributing leaflets with her brother Hans and a small circle of friends known as the White Rose. Born in 1921 into a Lutheran family in Forchtenberg, Sophie grew up with a father who openly opposed the Nazis—he was later imprisoned for calling Hitler “a scourge of God.” Like many German youths, she initially joined the League of German Girls at age 12. Her father’s quiet insistence on truth pulled her away. By 15 she had quit the Hitler Youth; by 18 she despised the regime. In 1942, while studying in Munich, Sophie learned her brother Hans—a former medic who had witnessed mass executions on the Eastern Front—had co-founded the White Rose with friends including Alexander Schmorell, Willi Graf, Christoph Probst, and Professor Kurt Huber. Their weapons were a typewriter and a hand-cranked mimeograph machine. Over roughly a year they produced six leaflets in elegant, impassioned prose—quoting the Bible, German philosophers, and Greek poets—calling on ordinary Germans to resist the evil being committed in their name. “Hitler’s mouth is a foul-smelling maw,” one declared. “Every word that comes from it is a lie.” Sophie insisted on joining despite the mortal danger. She bought paper and stamps in small quantities across the city, typed, mimeographed, and helped distribute hundreds of leaflets by mail and by hand. On February 18, 1943, Sophie and Hans took the sixth leaflet to the university. They left stacks in corridors and stairwells. In a final act of defiance, Sophie pushed a pile from the top of the atrium and watched the pages flutter down like falling birds. A janitor saw her, locked the doors, and called the Gestapo. Arrested immediately along with Christoph Probst, the three endured brutal interrogation. Sophie refused to betray others. On February 22, before the infamous Nazi judge Roland Freisler, all three were sentenced to death in a show trial lasting about three hours. The sentence was carried out that same afternoon—bypassing the usual 99-day appeal window. Sophie walked calmly to the guillotine. Her last words: “Such a fine sunny day, and I have to go. But what does my death matter if through us thousands of people are awakened and stirred to action?” Hans shouted “Long live freedom!” before the blade fell. Christoph, a father of three, was executed minutes later. The Nazis executed the rest of the core group in the following months. But they could not kill the idea. The sixth leaflet was smuggled out of Germany, reached Britain, and was reprinted by the millions. In the summer of 1943, RAF bombers dropped copies over German cities—the very words Sophie had died for now raining from the sky. Today, a square at the University of Munich bears the name Geschwister-Scholl-Platz. In a 2003 poll, Germans ranked Sophie the fourth greatest figure in their nation’s history—above Bismarck, Einstein, and Goethe. She was twenty-one years old. She distributed pieces of paper. And in a moment when silence was safer, she chose to speak—and proved that courage, even when crushed by a guillotine, can still echo across decades.

@Matt_Pinner @TheRealDudja Tennis ball

What can be served but never eaten?

@Damaan4u33 @jbminatra Yes!!!! There were staffers laughing that shots would be fired

Do you believe this was staged? Yes 👍 or No?👎

THIS. SAYS. IT. ALL!

"The Babe was the last to come in. He had on a dark suit and a cap oyster white. He walked slowly with a friend on either side of him. He paused for a moment and them he recognized someone and smiled and stuck out his hand. They did not crowd him. When someone pointed to a locker, he walked to it and it was quiet around him. When a few who knew him well walked up to him, they did it quietly, smiling, holding out their hands. The Babe started to undress. His friends helped him. They hung up his clothes and helped him into the parts of his uniform. When he had that on Ruth sat down again to put on his spiked shoes, and when he did this the photographers who had followed him moved in. They took pictures of him in uniform putting on his shoes, for this would be the last time. “A glove?” he said. “A left-handed glove,” someone said. They found a glove on one of the hooks. It was one of the type that has come into baseball since the Babe left—bigger than the old gloves, with a mesh of rawhide between the thumb and first finger—and the Babe took it and looked at it and put it on. “With one of these,” Ruth said, “you could catch a basketball.” The Babe handed the glove to someone and someone else handed him a bat. He turned it over to see Bob Feller’s name on it and he hefted it. “It’s got good balance,” he said. “And now—” Allen’s voice said, coming off the field. They were coming to cheer the Babe now. In front of him the Indians moved back, and when they did the Babe looked up to see a wall of two dozen photographers focused on him. Babe Ruth stood up and the topcoat slid off his shoulders onto the bench. “—George Herman,” MelAllen’s voice said. “Babe Ruth!” The Babe took a step and started slowly up the steps. Babe Ruth walked out into the flashing of flashbulbs, into the cauldron of sound he must know better than any other man. "Down Memory Lane with the Babe" W.C. Heinz. "New York Sun", June 14, 1948. Babe Ruth’s last appearance at the Yankee Stadium. Ruth died of cancer two months later.

@Wescott464348 We need new blood.

Joe Biden is eligible to run in 2028. Would you vote for him? Yes No

Look at these people. They are all smirking. These are not "I just survived a mass shooting" smirks. These smirks tell a completely different story.

Here are the profound words from Prince Harry that no one shared! The silly media focused on Prince Harry's challenge to President Trump. They ignored his honest eloquence about the clarity that he personally has found in Ukraine—a clarity felt and described by almost every single foreigner I know who comes to Ukraine, no matter their background. The Duke of Sussex was speaking at the Kyiv Security Forum. UnderFire.News

Be honest, which fanbase do you actually belong to? Bob Dylan or Don Henley

Sleepy is fine. It’s the constant waking up that’s difficult.

MS NOW host Symone Sanders Townsend recounts how poor security was at the WHCD. She says she was able to roll up to the front door on a scooter and security did not ask to see her ID nor see her ticket, they assumed she was a guest at the hotel: "I actually showed up to the Hilton shortly after 8 P.M. And I actually took a scooter right up to the front of the Hilton driveway. And this matters because, as you know, usually there's a lot of protesters outside that's outside of those barricades before you can actually enter into the driveway of the Hilton. But this year, there are no protesters outside. I come to find out the people were actually milling about into the lobby. When I got off of the scooter and into in front of the barricade, usually you have to show ID and a ticket. The folks, the security at the gate, these were not agents, the Secret Service agents. They were not identified as Secret Service agents that I could see at the gate, but they did not ask me to show ID, and they did not ask me to show a ticket. They said, 'Oh, you're good. I'm sure you're going to your room.' I am not staying at the Washington Hilton. As I entered into the driveway, I saw the president's vehicle. The Beast was driving around in the circle of the Hilton driveway, and people walking around near it, taking photos. Secret Service was not keeping a perimeter. And it went around about two or three times while I was outside. When I entered into the Hilton, I asked Secret Service agents, which I saw they were identified as Secret Service agents, which way the ballroom was, and they said they didn't know. When I finally got my way onto elevator, no one asked me to show ID. No one asked me to show a ticket. I got all the way down to the red carpet area without ever showing a ticket to anyone in the Hilton. I am saying it like this because this is unusual."

"The Yankees didn’t want Elston, because of the innate prejudice at the time on that ball club and in that organization. When Elston came, what he had to go through is somewhat the same as what Jackie Robinson had to face." Arlene Howard. "The Yankees are not going to promote a Negro player to the Stadium simply in order to be able to say that they have such a player. We are not going to bow to pressure groups on this issue." Yankees GM, George Weiss. Casey Stengel had no problem calling Elston Howard an “eight ball” to his face. Stengel also commented on Howard’s lack of running ability, saying: "I finally get a black guy, and they give me the only one who can’t run." Elston Howard's plaque in Monument Park reads: "A man of great gentleness and dignity." "The Yankees lost more class today than George Steinbrenner could buy in 10 years." New York Times columnist Red Smith on Elston Howard`s death. "Elston Howard Night."

"To build his mammoth WH ballroom, Trump chose Clark Construction. In January, the Trump administration secretly gave the company a no-bid contract to do another job at a sharply inflated price." The Trump gang not entirely honest? Can't be... nytimes.com/2026/04/25/us/…

"You're being put in a cage...you're inside of a holding tank with 20, 30 other people. After being released, I lived with a sense of guilt. I'm still going to therapy to lose that sense of guilt…that I have to make up for making a mistake." Community advocate and DACA recipient Edder Martínez, on how being unjustly detained by ICE when he was 20 years old still greatly impacts his mental health.

Trump suing the IRS as President is like punching yourself in the face and then demanding compensation! He thought that this would be an easy grift,but it looks like it’s not going to be because the Judge seems to have morals & ethics!

⛔️Contrary to what the Trumps are saying - Jeffrey Epstein celebrated his 50th birthday at Mar-a-Lago. - Images reveal identical backgrounds to Trump's property. - The information is sourced from the Epstein documents released by the DOJ, labeled "JE 50 Bday." - The images display the same window curtain, mirror, and walls.‼️
