I've never pinned a post before, but I want to do my small part to ensure the Bibas family isn't forgotten. May the horrors they suffered be avenged. #IStandWithIsrael

@ThomasSowell She probably thought, "There's the only cop out here I can outrun." Bad miscalculation.

A woman throws a drink at a police officer in North Carolina and quickly finds out.

Re-read Tom Wolfe's 1976 "Me Decade" piece for the first time in decades. What an astonishing essay! Incredible to revisit it from 2026. The man was a prophet. nymag.com/article/tom-wo…

@JoeConchaTV And a good part of the 5000 are hate-watchers.

Here's a premature baby born at 25 weeks. Where's this clump of cells they keep talking about?

Or Akoni (32) was killed by Hamas in her home on October 7th, along with her parents. Hamas went from home to home, butchering families and burning them alive while live-streaming it. Israel fights demons, and every sane person should stand with Israel. Remember her name.

Does anyone know where I can attend the protests for these five young people tomorrow? I heard that it's at the corner of No Jews Avenue and No News Boulevard. Can anyone confirm?

💯death penalty. Do you agree?

Weitzel: “This was not ‘Wrong Place, Wrong Time.’ That headline misleads and distorts the truth. She was randomly shot in the head and killed at Loyola Beach. Framing it differently sanitizes the brutality of this murder." @CWBChicago @Awake_IL @Suntimes @John_Kass @MorningAnswer

The Islamic Regime has sentenced this 18-year-old to death. Melika Azizi was arrested in January because she wants a free Iran. The hero told the kangaroo court, "You let so many young people bleed. How can I remain silent? I don't care. Just kiII me." BE HER VOICE. SPEAK UP.

Happy World Down Syndrome Day! This child, with an extra chromosome, is valuable and worthy of life.

On the morning of 7 October 2023 in the southern Israeli town of Ofakim, Tali Hadad, a 48-year-old kindergarten teacher and mother of 6, transformed into one of the most remarkable heroes of that terrible day. Sirens blared just after 6.30am, quickly followed by the crack of gunfire & the ominous sounds of a motorised paraglider. Hadad and her family hurried into their safe room. Her son Itamar, a combat soldier in the who had just finished officer training & was home on a short break, instantly understood the horror unfolding outside. He seized his rifle and headed for the door. “Go out and save as many people as possible,” Hadad urged him, her voice steady with the fierce support she had always shown her children, five of whom serve or have served in the IDF. Still wearing her pyjamas, she pulled on her running shoes and raced after him. Her daughter Meitav briefly joined her. They spotted heavily armed terrorists firing wildly in a nearby playground & ducked behind a wall for cover. Tali sent Meitav back home to safety and pressed forward alone. From windows and streets, people shouted at her to turn back, calling her crazy and urging her to go inside. She refused. Later she described her state of mind with blunt force: “I was mad, like a thug.” With ambulances nowhere in sight and wounded civilians crying out, Hadad sprinted home under fire, grabbed the family car and turned it into an improvised ambulance. She drove straight into the heart of the fighting, risking everything. The first casualty she reached was Itamar himself. He had been shot four times, in the stomach, leg and thigh, while battling alongside comrades, 2 of whom now lay dead beside him. Bleeding heavily, he looked up in disbelief. “Mum, what are you doing here?” “You’re hurt,” she answered calmly. “I am going to take you to hospital.” She loaded her son and other wounded into the car and sped towards the Magen David Adom first-aid station at the edge of town, racing at 120 kms per hour so the terrorists could not target them easily. Glancing in the rear-view mirror, she saw Itamar slipping away & shouted to keep him conscious: “You are a hero! Wake up! We are almost there!” At the station paramedics took charge. Hadad leaned close and told her son, “Mum is not coming with you. You will go in the ambulance. I have to go back and help the others.” True to her word, she returned three more times, driving back into the gunfire again and again. She even picked up Itamar’s rifle for protection. Across those runs she evacuated a total of 13 wounded people. Neighbours and rescuers begged her to stop, but she continued until police, special forces & armed civilians finally regained control of Ofakim after hours of fierce combat. Only then did Tali head to the hospital. Itamar underwent emergency surgery. His liver had been cut in two, his gallbladder was torn and a bullet remained lodged in his leg. He endured a long hospital stay and demanding rehabilitation, both physical and emotional. In the book One Day in October: Forty Heroes, Forty Stories, she stands out as the only active female hero whose courage unfolded in real time: following her son into battle in her pyjamas, saving his life, then refusing to leave the fight until more lives were secured. A quiet teacher who once guided five-year-olds through songs and stories became, on the worst day in Israel’s modern history, a one-woman rescue force powered by raw maternal instinct and unyielding resolve. “I had no choice but to act,” she has said simply. In the darkness of that October morning, Tali Hadad showed extraordinary courage, driven by love and refusal to abandon others. 1/2⬇️

On this day in 1901, a Jewish man was born in Poland. Living in France, he was interned in Drancy with his wife and 3 children. On the 14 Aug 1942, they were deported to Auschwitz where they perished. His name was Moishe Zurach Borensztejn Please support @AuschwitzMuseum

"When Phil Rizzuto became ill toward the end of his life, he was put in an assisted living facility which was about 30 minutes away from where Yogi Berra lived. And every single day, because teammates were important to him, Yogi would drive there and he would play cards with Phil. And then when Phil would start to fall asleep, Yogi would hold his hand and when Phil would finally go to sleep, that’s when Yogi would leave. Every day. That’s what teammates meant to him."

For kids of a certain age (like me), Wide World of Sports was one of the highlights of any weekend. And I hated to miss the intro -- cringed every time for this poor guy.

The California Parole Board got an innocent person killed again. Who could have ever predicted that a convicted double murderer would kill again? Two weeks ago they also found two serial convicted child rapists suitable for early release, including one who said he still has sexual fantasies about young children.

You do not honor other cultures by weakening your own. You honor them by standing firmly in what is yours. Shakespeare is not a symbol of domination. He is one of the clearest expressions of what human language can reach at its highest level. His work survived because generation after generation, across cultures, found truth in it. What they are calling decolonising is diluting something rooted, tested, and refined over centuries. This is what happens when a civilization loses confidence in its own inheritance. The idea that Shakespeare being universal is harmful reveals something deeper. It suggests that greatness itself has become suspect. That if something endures across time and place, it must be explained away, not studied. That instinct erases standards. Tradition is not exclusion. It is memory. It is the record of what a civilization discovered was worth preserving. Once you start apologizing for that, you create a vacuum where nothing holds. A culture that cannot defend Shakespeare will not be able to defend anything else that made it.

Spot on.

18 years old. Out for a late night walk by the pier with her college friends, doing nothing wrong. Shot in the head by a lunatic on a rampage near campus. This is Chicago. But yeah, keep telling everyone it’s “safe,” Gov. Pritzker.
