UPDATE ON MAYA - TUMBLER RIDGE VICTIM 🚨
Today brought encouraging news for Maya. Cultures from her abscess showed no bacterial growth, and the abscess has not increased in size, an optimistic sign that the infection may be inactive following its removal.
The medical team also discussed transitioning Maya out of the ICU, the first truly hopeful update her family has received. They are deeply proud of Maya’s remarkable resilience and fighting spirit, which was recognised early in her care.
After a week in the ICU, UFC President Dana White contacted the family and offered to cover Maya’s full medical care at a leading hospital in Los Angeles, California, along with accommodations for the family. For UFC fans, Maya’s name was featured in the ring.
The Los Angeles facility offers an extensive brain trauma clinic with advanced resources. Maya had not been stable enough to travel until now. Provided no setbacks occur by Monday, the family can begin planning her continued recovery and long-term needs, including specialised supports.
This development has brought renewed hope and a lighter outlook for Maya and her family.

@DavidFischer Is it, or is it that it can’t hide anymore with X around?!

🚨 JUST IN: DOGE Chair Rep. Tim Burchett just filed to ABOLISH the African Development Foundation after its director pled guilty to FINANCIAL FRAUD
Every Democrat opposed it. Fraudsters.
"It's your tax dollars, it's going to Africa, bring it home, I don't care, I'm getting tired of this. And then of course what every Democrat opposed it, they put a bunch of amendments on it, and righteous indignation!"
"It goes back to my original premise that these funds are probably sent back in the form of dark money to campaigns and other things, allegedly."
"I've already had some Republicans say that they had some problems with it, but they're gutless."
"We've got to quit spending this money overseas. It ought to just make you furious that we're even having these kind of discussions, but that's what we're doing."

July 1989. Patricia Stallings had the perfect life — new house overlooking Lake Wauwanoka, husband David, and 3-month-old Ryan.
Then Ryan got sick: vomiting, lethargy, breathing trouble. Hospital tests showed ethylene glycol (antifreeze). They accused her of poisoning her baby.
Ryan died. Patricia was convicted of murder and sentenced to life.
While in jail she had another son with the exact same symptoms. Tests revealed a rare genetic disorder — methylmalonic acidemia — that mimics antifreeze poisoning.
Re-testing proved Ryan had it too. No crime. Just tragic medical error.
She was freed after years of fighting.
Heartbreaking wrongful conviction.

I was flying home from my honeymoon, alone. My husband didn't make it. A heart attack, three days after the wedding, right there in the hotel room in Cancun. I was 26. I was wearing black yoga pants and a hoodie because I couldn't bear to look at the "Just Married" t-shirts in my suitcase.
I sat in 14B, sobbing quietly into a cocktail napkin. The plane was full. Noisy. Happy vacationers coming home. The man in 14A was a large guy, wearing headphones and a baseball cap. He looked like he didn't want to be bothered. I tried to stop shaking. I tried to be quiet. But when the turbulence hit, I let out a whimper I couldn't control.
He took off his headphones. I expected him to ask to move seats. Instead, he reached into his bag and pulled out a beaten-up paperback book. Harry Potter. "I read this when I'm scared," he said softly. "Do you want me to read to you?"
I nodded, unable to speak. For three hours, this stranger—a grown man who looked like a linebacker—read about wizards and magic in a low, steady voice. He didn't ask why I was crying. He didn't ask where my ring was. He just built a wall of words around me to keep the world out.
When the flight attendant came by with drinks, he ordered two ginger ales. "She's okay," he told the attendant, blocking the aisle so no one would bump into me. "We're just reading."
When we landed, everyone rushed to get their bags. I couldn't move. The grief was pinning me to the seat. He waited. He grabbed my carry-on. He walked me off the plane. At the gate, my mom was waiting, dissolving into tears when she saw me. The man handed my bag to my mother. "She did great," he told my mom. "She's incredibly brave."
He turned to walk away, and I realized I didn't know his name. "Wait!" I choked out. "Why?" He turned back, offering a sad, small smile. "I lost my daughter two years ago," he said. "Someone sat with me on the flight home. I'm just passing it on."
He disappeared into the crowd. I never saw him again. But whenever I fly now, I bring a copy of Harry Potter. Just in case someone in 14B needs a little magic to survive the flight.

Why is everyone so ridiculously sensitive these days?
People get offended by the tiniest little thing.
Back in my day, we were all professional ball-busters.
We could roast each other nonstop and still laugh about it.
Now?
You say “God bless you” after someone sneezes, and suddenly, they’re triggered like you just insulted their whole bloodline.
Come on, folks… lighten up!

In June 1986, 24-year-old model Marla Hanson stepped out of a Manhattan bar expecting to collect an $850 security deposit from her landlord, Steve Roth.
Instead, two men he hired ambushed her. They held her down and slashed her face with razor blades—leaving deep, permanent scars that required over 100 stitches and ended her rising modeling career in an instant.
Roth’s motive? Rejected romantic advances and a petty dispute over rent money.
During the trial, the defense tried to blame her—questioning her clothes, her dating life, and her Texas roots. The cross-examination, she later said, hurt almost as much as the attack itself.
But Marla refused to hide. She showed up to court without makeup, scars visible for the world to see: “I wanted people to see what they had done.”
All three men were convicted. Marla went on to become a powerful voice for victims’ rights, an advocate for reforming how the justice system treats survivors, and even a screenwriter (credits on The Blackout and Subway Stories).
Her story is a raw reminder of resilience: beauty isn’t just skin deep, and strength is what you build when the world tries to break you.
