@ValaAfshar I’m going back to school, this looks way better than Sister Mary’s “I’ll kick your ass” approach. (excuse the potty mouth)

A good teacher will educate you. A great teacher will joyfully inspire you to grow.

@KhanSaba1278 Agreed!

If you can’t afford to pay a living wage, you can’t afford to own a restaurant

@DerrickEvans4WV No Comment......well I guess that is a comment!

Man serving life in prison killed 3 child sex offenders. When asked about it he said: “The taxpayers no longer have to pay for them. I’m paying my debt to society.”

@omoelerinjare1 I am sure Wal Mart has done some nice things for employees, can anyone find them?

19-year-old Devan Bonagura secretly filmed 81-year-old Walmart cashier Nola Carpenter resting alone in the break room of a Hackettstown, New Jersey store. Exhausted after more than 20 years on the job to pay off her mortgage—while her injured husband couldn’t work—she looked worn out. Bonagura posted the short TikTok video with the caption “Life shouldn’t be this hard.” It exploded, gaining over 30 million views. He quickly started a GoFundMe that raised $186,000 in days—enough to pay off her mortgage and let her retire. Walmart and his employer (OSL) were upset about the unauthorized recording. They demanded he delete the video and fundraiser, then suspended him. Bonagura refused, saying he was leaving anyway. Nola was deeply grateful. She worked through the holidays, then retired. The story showed both the kindness of strangers and corporate pushback.

@ItsEthanRay The right people at the right time...all of their lives will be changed forever.

A person should never give up. This child didn’t lose hope, even though many people would have given up on life in such a difficult situation. 💪❤️

@khnh80044 A huge thank you to those who made this possible. Can you imagine the impact this could have on that young man's life?

When a young man's work bike was stolen, the local shop owners and customers came together to buy him a brand-new one.His reaction is pure heart-melt… 🥹❤️

@Be_Believing Thank you for sharing this!

This is the moment little Leo sees his big sister for the first time in YEARS. 😭💔 Foster care separated them… but love brought them back.

@sarahadams @borealissaves Nice

Hanging out with the one and only @borealissaves on the latest Canadian Intelligence Eh! podcast! Why taking the eye off the Afghan/Taliban terrorism ball is a bad idea. Have a listen! borealisthreatandrisk.com/forget-taliban…

@sarahadams @conocophillips Who in the H...thought this was a good idea? @robertcobrien @GovRaimondo @DavidRMalpass

Look at this: @ConocoPhillips wants to do business with Al-Qaeda. Al-Qaeda's central leadership in Afghanistan is getting a cut of oil profits from Syria under the new regime, yet apparently oil profits are more important than who gets paid along the way. We spent trillions of dollars and lost thousands of lives fighting Al-Qaeda. Now some are willing to look the other way if there's money to be made. There should be no corporate immunity for helping enrich and resource the very terrorists we spent a generation trying to defeat.

@SeanSan86675472 @SoldiersWhisper May your grandfather rest in peace, and may your family know we appreciate their military service.🫡

@SoldiersWhisper I love my grandpa he was a great man 1 Korea 2 Vietnam my family served every war and branch beside navy and space force I think we look alike

“This is my grandfather Corporal Charles Wesley Bonner. He severed in Vietnam. When he enlisted, he was part of the 101st Airborne Division. His second tour, he was a part of the 82nd Airborne where he led his Paratrooper. He recently passed last year September. 🕊️ My grandfather was amongst very few men who was able to make it back home alive to tell their stories. I love you so much grandad & you will forever be honored.” - Niam Bonner

@SoldiersWhisper Rest in peace Brother......

@Andrew_Maj42 Truly heartwarming....

A simple moment, but powerful. That woman and everyone on that highway showed what patience and kindness really look like ❤️🫶❤

@ExxAlerts Kudos to the Coast Guard!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

ALERT: US Coast Guard jumps onto a runaway boat and safely stops it in Maryland. Authorities say the man operating the vessel suddenly fell overboard, and the Coast Guard had to intercept and stop the boat. The incident has raised awareness among boat operators to wear their engine shut-off clip lanyards, which are required by federal law on most boats under 26 feet.

@HumanityChad God bless that family; may they remain united, and let us pray for the swift end of the war.

A Ukrainian child is told to get a delivery from a driver But its her father returning from War in Ukraine 😭😭

@Rainmaker1973 🥲

Even though he's so small, his heart is enormous. During his hospital stay, he took a younger friend for a walk and reminded us that compassion knows no age.

@Mia_Anderson8 It is heartwarming to witness these small tokens of gratitude that were missing during my time of service. May the nation continue to heal and honor those who serve and those who have served before.

little respect, a massive smile. 🥺❤️ This sweet little girl saluting a soldier is the purest thing you’ll see today!😍💚

@Arkypatriot I’m thrilled to see the Marines finally acknowledging the Army well-earned senior status. As someone airborne, I rarely had the chance to glance back and see who was trying to keep up🪂😊

Happy 251st Birthday to the United States Army. 251 years of grit, sacrifice, courage, and answering the call since 1775. 🇺🇸 As a Marine, I’m required by law (or at least tradition) to remind everyone that we’re the younger, better-looking sibling. That’s just part of the interservice rivalry. But I’m also the daughter of a career Army soldier, so I grew up knowing what service, discipline, and sacrifice look like long before I ever earned my own Eagle, Globe, and Anchor. The Army isn’t just another branch to me it’s part of my family’s story. The United States Army is the best army in the world. Hands-down, no argument. So today, the Marine in me will throw a little good-natured sarcasm your way… but the Army brat in me stands up a little straighter and says thank you. Happy Birthday, Army. We kid because we’re family. And because somebody has to keep you humble. ❤️🤍💙

@MrPitbull07 Whenever people faced impossible odds, they remembered the simple truth Rick once typed to his dad: When we move forward together, the impossible becomes just another mile. And with every heartbeat, Team Hoyt still whispers to all of us—Yes, you can.

In 1977, a 15-year-old boy asked his father a question that would change both of their lives—and eventually inspire millions around the world. The boy was Rick Hoyt. Rick was born with cerebral palsy, a condition that affected his ability to control his muscles and speak. When he was young, doctors told his parents that he would never communicate and would likely never live an independent life. At the time, many families were encouraged to place children with severe disabilities in institutions. But Rick’s parents refused. His father, Dick Hoyt, and his mother, Judy, believed their son deserved the same opportunities as any other child. They fought to keep him included in school and everyday life, even when the system often worked against them. Years later, engineers at Tufts University helped develop a communication device that allowed Rick to type by moving his head against a switch. For the first time, he could express his thoughts. Then one day in 1977, Rick typed a simple request. A classmate had been paralyzed in an accident, and a charity race was being organized to help him. Rick turned to his father and asked: “Dad, can we run in that race?” Dick was 36 years old and had never been a runner. He wasn't trained. He wasn't an athlete. But he didn't hesitate. He said yes. The race was about five miles long. Rick sat in a wheelchair while Dick pushed him from behind. They finished near the back of the field. There were no cameras, no headlines, and no special attention. But later that evening, Rick typed words his father would never forget. “Dad, when I’m running, it feels like I’m not handicapped.” For Dick, everything changed in that moment. He realized running gave his son a feeling of freedom that everyday life rarely could. So they kept going. What started as one race eventually became a lifelong journey. Over the next four decades, they became known around the world as Team Hoyt. Together, they completed more than 1,100 races, including 32 Boston Marathons, multiple triathlons, and six Ironman competitions. During Ironman events, Dick pulled Rick through the swim in a small raft, carried him on a specially designed bicycle during the cycling stage, and then pushed him through an entire marathon. It required extraordinary effort. But their story was never really about sports. It was about possibility. At a time when many people underestimated what individuals with disabilities could achieve, Team Hoyt challenged those assumptions every mile they traveled. When people asked Dick how he managed such incredible physical feats, he always gave credit to his son. “I’m just lending Rick my arms and legs. He’s the one with the heart.” Rick had his own view. “He was my motor,” he once said. “I was his heart.” Together, they became far more than father and son. They became a symbol of determination, inclusion, and unconditional love. Dick Hoyt passed away in 2021 at the age of 80. Rick followed in 2023 at the age of 61. Their races eventually ended, but their message never did. The story of Team Hoyt was never about crossing finish lines first. It was about believing in someone so completely that you refuse to let limits define their future. A father who became his son's strength. A son who became his father's purpose. And a lesson that still inspires people today: Sometimes love is powerful enough to carry both of you forward.

@worldranking_ A wonderful story !
