@Mr_Husky1 A wonderful teacher teaches way more than just the curriculum!

I’m a high school teacher. We have policies. Late work gets points deducted. Turn it in on time or take the hit. That’s how students learn responsibility. Senior year. Final paper worth thirty percent of the grade. Due Friday. Monday came. Still no paper from this one kid. Smart kid. Never missed assignments before. Called him to my desk after class. “Where’s your paper?” He looked down. “I don’t have it” Waited. He didn’t elaborate. “You know this tanks your grade right? Might not graduate” He nodded. Still wouldn’t look at me. “Do you not care?” His voice cracked. “My dad died Thursday night. Heart attack. Paper was done. On my laptop. But I’ve been at the hospital. At the funeral home. I forgot. I just forgot.” My chest tightened. “I’m so sorry. Why didn’t you tell me?” “Because it sounds like an excuse. Everyone has excuses.” He finally looked up. Eyes red. “Just fail me. I deserve it.” Closed my gradebook. “Email me the paper tonight. Full credit. And take this week off. Come back when you’re ready.” He shook his head. “The policy—” “I’m the teacher. I make exceptions when life happens. Your dad died. That’s not an excuse. That’s a tragedy. Go home.” He graduated. Top ten percent. Spoke at graduation. Mentioned a teacher who showed him that rules and compassion can coexist. I was in the audience. Crying. Sometimes grace matters more than policy. —Mr. Hayes, English teacher

@DougWahl1 They need to make this permanent

DO YOU SUPPORT DELTA's MOVE? Because of TSA workers not being paid, today Delta Air Lines suspended its special services it had been offering members of congress and their staff. The canceled perks include: Airport escorts Personal "Red Coat" assistants. Your Thoughts?

@FLCons It’s great

This company gave their customer all their random left over hardwood for free! The video shows the end result. It's not a uniform vanilla looking floor. It's pattern random because of the various times of wood used. What do you think? Do you like the end result?

@BasedMikeLee Why is he being deceitful?

That isn’t a thing SAVE America Act is non-budgetary It can’t pass with budget reconciliation

@LeaderJohnThune Do not go on recess until you pass the Save America Act

Every senator will soon be on the record with an up-or-down vote so the American people can know exactly where they stand on voter ID. I don’t know how Democrats will be able to explain being against commonsense voter ID requirements, but I can’t wait to hear them try.

@E_Barcohana I would like for him to explain where the 300,000 children went under his care at HHS.

Becerra is polling at 3% but because of him all 40 million of us will be deprived of seeing the top 5 on stage together debating each other for the first time. Because racism. How is California a real state?

@DougWahl1 @rolandsmartin The host country pays these fees. If Im incorrect, do we bill other countries dignitaries for our hosting them here? Interesting to know either way. But I also believe Secret Service is there to protect the President

TRUMP STIFF'S UK POLICE! Donald Trump is refusing to pay a $900,000 bill for police protection during his UK visit last September. The money is needed to compensate officers who worked overtime to keep Trump safe. Your Thoughts?

@DeAngelisCorey Having happy teachers and supporting the teachers, not a political teachers union is the way. Having teachers loving their job will only benefit the pupils they teach.

BREAKING: 12,356 teachers have opted out of their unions and joined the Teacher Freedom Alliance. This is the way to hold union bosses accountable. Starve the beast.

@FarmGirlCarrie The best future husband, father, provider ever!!

Pure love can live in the smallest hearts ♥️🐾 Ten-year-old Ethan sold his Xbox, bike, and favorite toys without a second thought when he learned that Scout, the stray dog he rescued, needed urgent surgery. His quiet sacrifice showed a kind of courage many adults struggle to show. Based on a viral photo that is spreading on the internet, people everywhere felt his kindness. Donations poured in, reaching $1,847 and saving Scout's life.

@chefsevenn Trump

What’s the first word that comes to mind when you see this?

@SenTedCruz Get the Save Act passed no recess until it’s done

Due to the Democrat’s Shutdown, I’ve asked the Financial Clerk of the Senate to hold my salary. It’s not right for Members of Congress to be paid if the working men and women of DHS aren’t.

@lady_valor_07 25% is beyond acceptable

@highbrow_nobrow Let’s start without labeling or categorizing…. Violence is violence and needs to be held accountable regardless of who, what, where, when or even why. Actions should have consequences for those who chose this despicable behavior.

D. Vance: "Because we have such a big problem with left-wing political violence... we really have to re-train the entire government to focus on the left-wing violence problem." FC: Data show right-wing violence far exceeds left-wing in frequency. (2025)

@dom_lucre Awesome

🔥🚨BREAKING: A “Unity Statue” of the group of boys, who were strangers to each other, that formed a human chain to save a dog rushing waters at the same place of the event.

@EricLDaugh 😂

🚨 BREAKING: Police officers are ACTIVELY stopping foreign truck drivers and demanding proof they speak English, then putting them OUT of service This Florida trooper took NO BS, straight-up asking: "Can you speak any English?!" MAN: "No..." FOX: "He was taken out of service RIGHT away." 🔥 Great! Fox's @AlexisMcAdamsTV: "He didn't know what the road signs meant." This is what we voted for! Take them off the road and save American lives. 🙏🏻

@EricLDaugh Get it done before the recess

🚨 BREAKING: Senate Leader John Thune floats a RECONCILIATION bill for the SAVE America Act, needing only 50 votes and JD Vance "This was discussed, there is a lot of support...that's an option. If that's what it takes to get it across the finish line!"

Amazing how many anti-Americans we have. But Iran said today they are talking I wonder if a follow-up apology will happen. But wasn’t he one of the “51 spies that lied”. It’s a shame how partisan politics can foment so much hate and disdain—- people forget the part of what is best for America is what all should want regardless of party.

BREAKING: Former US CIA Director John Brennan implies that Trump is lying about the Iranian talks and says he tends to believe Iran over Trump. Brennan: "I tend to believe IRAN more than Donald Trump, Because he could not acknowledge the truth even when he’s slapped in the face with it repeatedly." Man, are we screwed...

@_we_love_food Love it!!

Does anyone actually like Rye Bread?

@Mr_Husky1 Awwwhhhh. Best story of the day!!

I was outside when I noticed a teenage boy walking past carrying a bucket. He flashed me this huge, genuine smile, so I called out, “Hey, what are you up to?” He explained he was going door to door offering to clean cars—he wanted to earn enough money to go fishing the following weekend. It hit me how rare it is to see a kid out hustling like that these days. Without hesitating, I asked if he’d wash both of our cars. When I came back with a $100 bill I’d been saving for a trip, his face lit up like I’d just handed him the keys to a brand-new truck. My husband stepped out, curious what was going on. When I told him the kid was working to fund a fishing trip, something changed in him instantly. He didn’t say much—just turned, walked into the garage, and started pulling things down. Wheel cleaner, premium wash, microfiber towels, all his good detailing supplies—the kind you don’t lend out, you pass down. From the window I watched him kneel beside the boy, showing him exactly how to use each product, then quietly told him everything was his to keep. He didn’t rush the kid. Didn’t brush him off. He took his time, explaining everything carefully, like it—and the boy—really mattered. You could see the exact moment it sank in for the kid: someone believed in him. Believed in his little fishing weekend. Now the two of them are sitting together on the sidewalk, making a post on Nextdoor. They’re using our address so he can safely detail cars right here in our driveway. All because a teenager wanted to go fishing… and ended up knocking on the door of a man who once had to figure life out the hard way, too.

@BuzzPatterson And scary

This is hard, folks. Really hard.
