@Arraez_21 FRIAR FLASHBACK: No one can better appreciate the beauty of an exceptionally talented contact hitter than Gwynn/Padre fans-Make a deal, A.J.!
My uncle is panicking. He’s running against a strong Black woman—and a former prosecutor—who isn’t afraid to call him out or mock him. His whole campaign strategy was based around attacking Joe Biden—his age, his infirmity, his cognitive decline. It was all projection, of course, but because Pres. Biden is old and has slowed down in the last four years, and because he doesn’t shout or bully, Donald was able to make the attacks stick thanks, in large part, to his foot soldiers in the corporate media.
The fireworks in Long Beach this year are insane. There are literally no breaks in the noise. Between the louder explosions is a nonstop almost drumroll/thunder.
Join us at one of our morning rallies and add your voice to reverse the decision made by the AUHSD school board to cut 10% of teachers. We hope you will join us in solidarity to show that class size matters to the well being of our students and our teachers. #WeAreASTA#RedForEd
Kevin Briggs is a former California highway patrol officer who has stopped more than 200 people from committing suicide on the Golden Gate Bridge.
When Briggs finds a suicidal individual, he usually starts a conversation with them by asking how they are doing, then asking their plans for the following day.
If they did not have plans for the next day, he attempts to make plans with them, inviting them to come back to the bridge if their plan did not work out at the end of the day.
The image below is from 2005 when Briggs spent 60 minutes convincing Kevin Berthia to climb back over a rail on the bridge. Berthia went on to marry and have multiple children.
Briggs has earned the nickname ‘Guardian of the Golden Gate’ for having saved the lives of over 200 people.
Throughout the USS Triton's secret mission to circumnavigate the world submerged, the only unauthorized individual to spot the submarine during those sixty days was a Filipino man on his canoe, who noticed its periscope. April 1, 1960.
The Captain, Edward Beach, later wrote in his log:
"It is a ludicrous situation: On one hand an impassive Asian, staring with curious concentration at an unusual object in the water; on the other, a U.S. Navy officer, equipped with all technical devices money and science can procure, looking back with equally studied concentration. On one end of the periscope, an outrigger canoe propelled by the brawny arms of its builder; on the other end, a $100,000,000 submarine, the newest, biggest, most powerful in the world, on a history-making voyage. What an abyss — what centuries of scientific development — lie between me and him!"
They’re losing the culture war, they’re hanging with violent extremist, they’re losing elections, and their leaders are embroiled in scandal. What does the future for the “Moms for Liberty”? I take a gander at their past and present, in today’s piece. open.substack.com/pub/statuskuo/…
