For 27 years in a row, a daughter took photos of her parents standing outside and waving goodbye each time she left.

HELLO SATURDAY!!!!

Whenever your teacher rolled this sweet bastard into the classroom, you knew the "No learning this afternoon!" celebration was officially ON.

"Auggie Busch traded me to the last-place Phillies over a $5000 salary dispute. I was mentally committed to winning 25 games with the Cardinals and now I had to re-think my goals. I decided to stay with the 25-win goal and won 27 of the Phillies' 59 victories". Steve Carlton Cardinals' owner, Auggie Busch had a temper tantrum because Steve Carlton wouldn't agree to the club's contract terms. Ordered by Busch to trade Carlton, GM Bing Devine dealt him to the Phillies for another pitcher, Rick Wise, 1972. "Steve Carlton had a way of elevating everyone’s game, even the year we were horrendous. He was never indecisive on the mound. Before the game, he’d go over the hitters and say, ‘This is how I’m going to pitch and this is where I want you to play him.’ He had a game plan of how to pitch to each hitter and he stuck to it. And he wanted you in a certain spot, and if they didn’t hit it there, it was his responsibility. That’s how he wanted it." Larry Bowa. "Steve Carlton was not your normal guy. Communicating with him was not always easy. On the mound, he would tune out all distractions. Off the mound, he did the same. If he considered you the distraction, he'd direct at you an icy stare. Teammates considered him to be a recluse. He refused to talk to reporters for long stretches at a time. He pissed people off with his stand-offishness and his arrogance. Steve Carlton was also the finest left handed pitcher of his generation." "The Spirit of St. Louis". Peter Golenbock. Steve Carlton was 27-10 with a 1.97 ERA, for a last-place Philadelphia team.

🎶✨Vincent - Don McLean (1971) Starry, starry night… Don McLean’s tribute to Vincent van Gogh paints his life, his suffering, and his misunderstood brilliance through the lens of The Starry Night — a swirling sky born from observation, memory, and emotion during his time in the asylum.

Barack Obama’s ICE chief received an award for 920,000 removals. Donald Trump’s ICE chief was called a Nazi. It’s the same person: Tom Homan. In 2012, Obama deported 409,000 people. In 2025, Trump deported 290,000 people. The difference is mainstream media brainwashing.

We don’t have any footage of Beethoven or Mozart writing their masterpieces. We do, however, have Paul McCartney writing Get Back. And that’s even better.

The Power Of Subconscious Mind—-Bruce Lee:

On this day in 1976, Dolenz, Jones, Boyce & Hart appeared on “Dinah!”. They performed a medley of The Monkees hits, including Carole King’s and Gerry Goffin’s “Pleasant Valley Sunday”.

A lesson for humanity. 🙌🙏🫶👇

As long as we let them the crooked DC politicians will keep stealing our money through illegal taxation!

🚨 WOW. Brown University student Alex Shieh previously EVISCERATED the school's administrators for having a $46 million deficit, despite surging costs for students. They pay $90K+ PER YEAR. Alex Shieh: "What about the kids who weren't born on third base?! [...] Brown is on track to run a $46 million DEFICIT this year. WHERE is all the money going?" "I'll tell you where it's going. It's going into an empire of administrative bloat and bureaucracy! Brown employs 3,805 full time non-instructional staff for just 7,229 undergrads. That's one administrator for every two students." "This isn't education. This is bloat paid for on the backs of students and families who are mortgaging their futures for a shot at a better life!" HE'S SPOT-ON.

When people ask what makes humans extraordinary, this is it. A 7 year old Turkish girl, İpek Nisa Göker, was born completely blind… yet she sits at a piano and turns darkness into music. No music sheet. No sight. Just her compositions… pure instinct.

This is the most comforting thing ever! It debuted 60 years ago on the very date December 9, 1965.

If found this to be quite profound. We will all fade away. This made me cry. Happy and sad emotions.

As you hit the stores for your Christmas shopping this season keep this in mind… (I haven’t laughed this hard in a long time)
