I love how most of the animals stop running and look back at their saviors, its like an unspoken "Thank you, I will remember you."

True story: A Vietnam veteran died with absolutely no family to attend his funeral—but what ordinary Americans did next will restore your faith in this country. In 2019, 72-year-old U.S. Air Force veteran Joseph Walker passed away in Texas. He had no surviving relatives. The local cemetery was preparing for an "unaccompanied burial," meaning this man who served his country was going to be lowered into the ground in complete silence, with absolutely no one there to mourn him, thank him, or say goodbye. Not wanting this hero to be forgotten, the local veterans cemetery put out a humble plea on social media, asking if just a few folks in the area could spare an hour of their day to stand by his casket. They hoped for a handful of locals. Instead, on the morning of his funeral, the highways completely gridlocked. Over 2,000 Americans dropped everything they were doing and drove from hours away. Bikers, veterans, mechanics, ranchers, and mothers holding their children’s hands flooded the Central Texas State Veterans Cemetery. They stood shoulder-to-shoulder, holding American flags in the biting wind, in absolute, reverent silence as Taps echoed across the hills. A man who thought he died with no family was buried surrounded by thousands of his brothers and sisters. The news often tries to tell us that we are hopelessly divided, that we've lost our values, and that the fabric of our nation is tearing apart. But the quiet, everyday patriots of this country prove them wrong every single time. We still honor sacrifice. We still take care of our own. And the true heart of America is still beating incredibly strong.

🚨 POLICE SERGEANT FIRED AFTER DEPLOYING TASER SEVEN TIMES ON MAN EXPERIENCING A MEDICAL EMERGENCY A man was outside his OWN HOME putting up Halloween decorations when he suffered a seizure, collapsed in his yard, and needed emergency medical assistance. What happened afterward has now resulted in a police sergeant losing his job. On October 25, Dwight Jackson was decorating for Halloween in Chattahoochee, Florida, when he suddenly collapsed. His brother, Caleb Johns, called for help. According to Johns, Jackson had been experiencing a seizure for approximately TEN MINUTES before EMS arrived. Paramedics were already treating him when Sgt. Price of the Chattahoochee Police Department arrived. According to Jackson’s brother, EMS personnel had been rendering aid for approximately 45 minutes when the officer intervened. Johns described the officer pushing people aside and jumping on Jackson as he was beginning to regain awareness. THE OFFICER DEPLOYED HIS TASER SEVEN TIMES. Police Chief Michael Miller claims EMS requested assistance because they were having difficulty restraining a combative individual. He also claims Jackson physically resisted the officer and pulled on his body armor. Jackson says he wasn’t intentionally combative. He was suffering a medical emergency. And anyone familiar with seizures should understand that involuntary movements and post-seizure confusion can occur. Jackson later described the experience as “more terrifying than war” because he was defenseless and had no idea what was coming. But there are additional developments that I have discovered… According to reporting on the police chief’s findings: ▪️ The officer reportedly FAILED TO RECORD the initial encounter and use of force on his body camera. ▪️ A supervisory review of available footage identified ANOTHER use-of-force incident while Jackson was being transferred into the police department. ▪️ Jackson reportedly suffered ANOTHER SEIZURE while at the police station, requiring EMS to be called again and resulting in his transportation to a hospital. ▪️ A separate recording captured Sgt. Price in a verbal confrontation with an EMS employee. ▪️ Jackson says he was never formally booked into jail and was eventually released. On October 28, Police Chief Michael Miller announced that Sgt. Price had been TERMINATED following the department’s review. Jackson is now considering legal action.

Today is another year without my daughter, Brianna Long, and the weight of it still feels impossible. I struggle to call it an anniversary. It was the day everything broke. Brianna was murdered by gang members while she was at work in Valdosta, Georgia. We are still waiting for a trial. Still waiting for answers. Still trying to move through a life that no longer makes sense. I miss her in ways I can’t fully put into words—her voice, her face, the ordinary moments I used to take for granted. I find myself wondering who she would have become and what we would have shared. Grief has narrowed my world. Most days I work and come home. The things I used to enjoy no longer feel like mine. Learning to live without her has been the hardest thing I have ever faced. Please keep our family in your prayers. Pray for strength, for answers, and for justice for Brianna. Nothing will bring her back. We know that. But she deserves accountability, and we deserve the truth. We will keep holding on to the hope that it comes soon. Brianna, not a day passes that we don’t miss you. You are loved. You are remembered. Your life mattered, and we will keep speaking your name. My sweet Bri Bri, I love you more than words can hold. Until we meet again. Mommy loves you always. 🌹

For thirty-one years, the classified files of the Cold War hid what happened on June 29, 1987, when America's fastest spy plane blew an engine at Mach 3 over the Baltic Sea. U.S. Air Force Lieutenant Colonels Duane Noll and Tom Veltri were flying a Lockheed SR-71 Blackbird at seventy-five thousand feet near Soviet airspace when their right engine exploded. In seconds, the crippled American reconnaissance jet decelerated and dropped down to twenty-two thousand feet on a single engine. An SR-71 carries zero weapons and relies entirely on speed to survive. Now flying slow and low, the unarmed American crew was a sitting duck as Soviet fighter jets scrambled with orders to intercept or force the Blackbird down. Then two Swedish Air Force JA 37 Viggen fighter jets piloted by Major Roger Moller and Major Krister Sjoberg thundered up beside the limping American plane, followed minutes later by two more armed Swedish Viggens. Sweden was officially neutral, and those four pilots were only on a routine training flight. Yet without hesitation, they locked their own combat radars on and positioned their fighter jets as an armed shield right between the Soviet interceptors and the crippled U.S. aircraft, escorting the Americans all the way to safety. In November 2018, the secret was finally declassified, and the United States Air Force awarded all four Swedish pilots the U.S. Air Medal.

On May 4, 1944, Mildred “Micky” Axton was sitting in the rear of a B-29 Superfortress when the chief test pilot’s voice came over the intercom. He asked if she would like to fly the aircraft. Micky put on her parachute, crawled through a narrow passage and made her way to the cockpit. The pilot gave her the left seat and she took control of one of America’s most powerful bombers. In that moment she became the first woman to fly a B-29. The aircraft was so secret that Micky later said she could tell only her husband about the experience. Her love of flying began in Coffeyville, Kansas. She earned her pilot’s license in 1940 and became the only woman in her civilian pilot training class. In 1943 she joined the Women Airforce Service Pilots. She left her infant daughter in her mother’s care and traveled to Sweetwater, Texas, for training. After completing her training Micky was assigned to Pecos Army Air Field where she tested repaired aircraft before they returned to service. Eventually her mother became ill and Micky had to leave the WASPs to care for her daughter. She returned to Kansas and found work with Boeing’s flight-test operation in Wichita. That job brought her aboard the B-29 nicknamed “Sweet Sixteen.” When the chief test pilot offered her the chance to fly it she later recalled being “absolutely in hog heaven.” The chief pilot wrote a letter confirming her historic flight. During the war the WASPs were not granted military veteran status. They finally received that recognition in 1977. Micky lived long enough to see the women’s service formally recognized. She died in 2010 at the age of 91. In her honor a restored training aircraft was named “Miss Micky.

I watched BLM burn down cities, riot, while people lost their lives. I watched Antifa, hold rallies which always led to violence, threatening anyone who wasn’t part of the Marxist movement while people lived in fear. I watched paid agitators which always led back to George Soros and dark Democrat money, cause violence while causing chaos and destruction against anyone who dared to stand up for conservative values and respect our Constitutional Republic. I watched George Soros money buy and manipulate our court system along with our justice system, putting big money behind personally handpicked puppets, all out there to takedown capitalism, our freedoms and our America. I watched Soros get behind a bought and paid for Obama Presidency I watched a rigged and controlled media all receive the same talking points to denounce conservatives, denounce free speech, all while trying to brainwash the American people, especially the American youth that we are a racist country all while implementing division and hatred, the recipe towards Marxism I watched George Soros buy up a bunch of radio stations, bypassing all regulations and having all his stations fast tracked through the FCC so he can use them as a weapon against the American people, all while aiding and abetting dangerous illegals helping them avoid capture by warning them in advance of all ICE agents whereabouts, directly putting their lives in jeopardy The Democrats response? I can still hear the bullshit words spewing from the fraudulent President Joe Biden’s lips. White Supremacy is the number one danger in this country. Has it ever been so obvious? Democrats are the enemy. RINOs are the enemy. There is no group of people who are a bigger threat to our Constitutional Republic than the Dems, RINOs and any govt agency, judicial branch, or representative affiliated with them. This is exactly what it means when you hear, Enemies Within. This is the exact definition of Domestic Terrorists. Just look at the crimes committed by their savior Obama after DNI leader Tulsi Gabbard had the balls to drop the hammer and send criminal referrals of the big eared Kenyan cocksucker to the DOJ along with all of Obama’s most trusted confidants Call it a miracle. Call him a Godsend. Call him the chosen one. Call it Divine Intervention. There is a reason Donald Trump, survived everything thrown at him, there is a reason Trump beat every rigged case thrown his way, there is a reason he survived multiple assassination attempts. The Dems were on the brink of taking down the greatest country on the planet, but God had another plan. That plan was Donald Trump. He is here for a reason. He is here for a purpose. He is here with a vengeance. He is here to finish what he started. He didn’t forget what they’ve done to him. He’s coming for all of them. Just ask Comey and Omar. Trump will show all roads lead to Obama. This is a battle of good vs evil. Evil is doing everything they can to stifle Trump but we all saw this movie many times. Trump wins in the end. Have the Dems hit the fear level? Desperation? You bet your ass! Just look at the seditious 6. Never has anyone in DC went out and told the military to Not listen to the commander in chief There is already a crew of corrupt politicians preparing a coup against Pete Hegseth. We all know there is also a coup taking place against Trump. They are undermining Trump’s cabinet and undermining Trump’s presidency. They desperately want to shut it all down unfortunately for them Trump is always 3 steps ahead planning his counterattack against every last one of them. Are you listening Jake Sullivan? That’s right, his wife was one of the 6 and is desperately trying to save her from the wrath that is coming Trump with the help of us loyal supporters have come too far, fought too hard. Let’s finish what we started. Let’s make these midterms too big to rig. A vote RED is a vote for America. Together, We Will Make America Great Again. My two cents

My fellow Americans, Something broke in the Democratic Party. Their love of country has gone missing. Giving other people basic human dignity seems no longer necessary to them. What is right and wrong now depends on who has committed the wrong and why? Reason has given way to rage. Persuasion has been discarded for violent rhetoric and actual violence. Fraud, theft and voting irregularities and illegal voting now seem acceptable to them. Even justified. Leftists have more sympathy for criminals than for the victims of their crime. Their empathy for their fellow Americans must only be given to those with the same political beliefs. This unique American system of government with its checks and balances that has provided the greatest level of freedom and prosperity the world has ever known, they feel is now dispensable. What they offer to replace it is a socialist nightmare that has been responsible for the deaths of over 100,000,000 people in the 20th century. Perhaps even worse, the Left now flirt with the dangerous and Western Civilization enemy, Islam, which is completely incompatible with American freedoms, our constitution, women rights and gay rights, religious freedoms and free speech. An actual Hamas terrorist supporter, supported by the designated terrorist group, the Muslim Brotherhood, is running to be the next Senator of Michigan and may very well win. I remind my fellow Americans that our freedoms are inalienable and given by God and were fought and died for by patriots with their own blood. While the Republican Party is far from perfect, they will keep our borders closed from people who intend to harm our fellow citizens. Unlike Democrats, they will continue to protect our God given liberties and our Constitution and our system of justice and government. So I beseech you to do your duty and vote like your life, and your children’s life and freedoms depend on it. Because they do. God bless you and your family and God bless the United States of America! 🇺🇸 Love, Rob Schneider

This isn’t a matter of belief. It’s a matter of fact. I was 7 years old, playing laser tag in our big front yard out in the country of Central Florida. We had a neighbor three houses down that kept an aggressive red pit bull on a chain 24/7 to protect their yard. On this beautiful sunny day during the summer, it broke it’s chain and it ran down the dirt road towards our house. I never saw him coming. But I heard him growling (not barking) so low I could feel the hair on the back of my head literally stand up. I had enough time to see him over my shoulder as he leapt directly at my head. I ducked and curled into a ball on the ground expecting to get ripped to pieces. I looked up and saw a real life hero that had sprinted from the back yard meet my attacker in mid air over my body. Champ, our golden retriever collie mix, was a ball of fury and both dogs fought over and around me. There’s literally no way to describe how loud, violent and bone-chillingly fast two dogs fighting for their lives is. It was a tornado of teeth and legs. At this point my father had run out to meet the dogs and the pit bull’s owner was running down the road too. My dad picked up the pit bull by it’s collar and both dogs were still fighting in mid air. With the neighbors help they were finally pulled off each other. I stood up, in complete shock, and completely unscratched. Champ had a few minor scratches on his shoulder and the other dog’s nose was half off. Our family dog literally saved my life.

If President Trump, at 80, can hold 44 rallies and 20 tele-rallies in a single month to help save America, all while working 24/7 as president without even accepting a salary, the least we can do is get off the couch and vote Red.

A 3-year-old boy was kidnapped from a public library, and less than an hour later, he was sitting on a city bus beside the man who had taken him. The little boy was crying, and the other passengers had no idea he had been abducted. But when the bus driver looked at the child, he suddenly realized he matched the description of a missing boy police were desperately searching for. It happened in Milpitas, California. Bus driver Tim Watson had heard the police alert about a missing 3-year-old boy earlier that day. When a man boarded his bus with a crying child, something didn’t seem right. The more Tim looked at the little boy, the more he suspected he was the child everyone was searching for. But Tim couldn’t risk confronting the man. If he was the kidnapper, one wrong move could put the little boy in even greater danger. So Tim came up with a clever plan. He announced to the passengers that someone had reported a missing green backpack and began walking through the bus, pretending to search for it. As he moved past the man and child, Tim got a closer look and confirmed his suspicions. He quietly contacted dispatch to alert police, then returned to his seat and continued driving as though nothing had happened. All the while, the suspected kidnapper remained on board, completely unaware that the driver had recognized the child. Tim kept his composure until police were able to intercept the bus. Officers rushed aboard, arrested the suspect, and brought the little boy to safety. Thanks to one observant bus driver who refused to ignore his instincts, a terrifying kidnapping ended with a child being returned to his family. Tim Watson wasn’t a police officer or a trained rescuer. He was simply a bus driver who recognized a child in danger and found a way to save him without putting him at greater risk. Let’s give this incredible man the recognition he deserves.

Nellis Air Force Base, 1995. I was waiting for the beer light to come on when my squadron commander, call sign Beaker, walked into the flight room and poked me in the chest. "Deacon, you're grounded." It wasn't the first—or last—time I'd heard that phrase. But it was the only time it took me by surprise. "Sir, she said she was eighteen." I thought a little humor might help diffuse his anger. I was wrong. "It's not funny, Deacon." He scowled. "You went supersonic yesterday—right over the Dog Lady." Oops. Apparently I'd buzzed the infamous Dog Lady—a small, hard-to-spot area where supersonic flight was prohibited. My bad. A little background. I was participating in Red Flag, the world's finest simulated aerial combat training. Great terrain. Electronic combat. Realistic threat replication. Smokey SAMs reaching out like giant bottle rockets. Red Air was flown by some of the best Aggressor pilots on the planet. And it didn't hurt that it took place in Vegas. But there were some range restrictions—areas to avoid—that could get you in serious trouble. The most obvious was Area 51. We called it Dreamland or The Container. Drag a wing through that roughly 600-square-mile chunk of real estate and you got a one-way ticket home. Maybe on a bus if your boss was in a bad mood. Drop below the Reveille Shelf at FL250 and you were likely to intercept a Boeing instead of a bandit—and get a solid ass-chewing for your efforts. And who can forget: Student Gap Texas Lake Tonopah ("The Small Container") Thunder Dome Caliente The Farms Anyone who flew Red Flag in the '90s will have a near-Pavlovian response to some of these names. Which brings me back to the Dog Lady. "Look, Deacon," Beaker said. "The evidence is right here." He handed me a screenshot of the range. A cyan F-15, designated Harass 3—my callsign that afternoon—was directly over the Dog Lady. Harass 4, my wingman, was in tactical formation two miles to the north. And a red F-16 was three miles behind us, in hot pursuit. Beaker pointed to a telemetry printout that showed all of our flight parameters—including airspeed. "You were supersonic over the Dog Lady at exactly 1555—right in the middle of the afternoon mission." I was pretty sure he was wrong, but my HUD tape had failed to record, leaving me with no proof of my innocence. Meanwhile, Beaker had plenty of proof of my guilt. About that time, Harass 4, joined the conversation. "Deacon." He tugged on my sleeve. "We were—" I yanked my arm away. "Hey 4, were we supersonic over the Dog Lady?" He shrugged. "Honestly, I was just trying to stay visual and not hit the ground." "Big help," I muttered. He tried again. "But I know—" I waved my hand to shut him up and turned back to Beaker. "Sir, I would have sworn we were below the Mach." "Nope." He shook his head. "Just over Mach 1." He pointed to the telemetry again. I shook my head. "I must be losing my mind, but OK." Beaker motioned with his hand. "So both of you are grounded for the next week." I blew out a long breath and started folding my map. "The rules are the—" "Deacon, you should really take a look at this." My wingman was interrupting. Again. He pointed to the telemetry. "That's in Zulu time." I stopped map folding. "What?" "1555 Zulu is 0855 local," my wingman said. "That wasn't us. That was Harass 3 from the morning go. Whoever that was." I looked at Beaker. He looked a little pale. The three of us turned in unison toward the scheduling board. Then two of us started laughing. Harass 3 on the morning mission had been Beaker. He walked to the scheduling board, erased his name from the next day's mission, and replaced it with mine. It was the first—and only—time I'd ever been grounded and ungrounded in the same conversation.

So, basically, 500 million Europeans expect 300 million Americans to protect them from 120 million Russians who can’t even defeat 40 million Ukrainians while those 500 million Europeans don’t even realize they are being conquered by 2 billion Muslims who claim they are being persecuted by 8 million Israelis. Is that about right? 1

Who else feels this way? I am for praying for the day you’re no longer President. After, of course, you finish the cleanup of our country that you've started. ⠀ Not because we’re tired of you. The opposite. Because you deserve to go home. You deserve quiet mornings. You deserve to sit on your own porch without the weight of 330 million people sitting on your shoulders. You deserve your family back. You deserve peace. ⠀ We all know you didn’t have to do any of this. You had the money. You had the name. You had the life most men only dream about. You could’ve spent the rest of your days golfing, traveling, watching your grandkids grow up. ⠀ Instead, you stepped into a fire that nearly cost you your Life a couple of times. ⠀ They mocked you. They sued you. They raided your home. They tried to bankrupt you. They tried to lock you up. They dragged your wife and kids through the mud. They put a bullet through your ear, and you got up with your fist in the air and kept going, saying "Fight Fight Fight " ⠀ For what? ⠀ For us. Regular people. Truck drivers. Welders. Waitresses. Roughnecks. Farmers. Single moms working two jobs. Grandparents on a fixed income watching the country they built get handed away. Veterans that’s sacrificed it all to give us all every opportunity. ⠀ You risked your name. Your legacy. Your safety. Your family’s safety. Your brand. Your freedom. All of it. So this country could have one more shot at being what it was supposed to be." GREAT AGAIN " ⠀ And the truth nobody wants to admit? We don't deserve a President like you. ⠀ A nation this divided, this ungrateful, this asleep at the wheel didn’t earn a man willing to bleed for it. But God sent you anyway. And I’ll thank Him for that until the day I die. ⠀ So when the day finally comes that you walk away from that desk, I hope you sleep well. I hope your wife laughs again without looking over her shoulder. I hope your kids breathe easy. I hope you golf till the sun goes down and nobody bothers you for nothing. ⠀ You have certainly earned every bit of it. ⠀ Thank you, Mr. President. From all of us American Patriots! God Bless You and God Bless America 🇺🇸🙏🇺🇸 Copied.

After six years of Nazi persecution Gerda Weissmann was so weak she could barely stand. At just twenty years old she weighed around sixty pounds and her hair had turned white from starvation. Then in May 1945 a young American soldier opened a door for her. Gerda would remember that moment for the rest of her life. It was May 7, 1945, in the Czechoslovakian town of Volary. Gerda was struggling to survive after a brutal death march. When American military vehicles began appearing she stood near an abandoned factory barely able to remain conscious. A young American lieutenant approached her. His name was Kurt Klein. He was twenty-five and spoke fluent German. He opened the door and stepped aside so she could enter first. Gerda later recalled that he was the first person in six years to open a door for her. Kurt asked whether she was Jewish. When she said yes he quietly told her that he was Jewish too. He made sure she received medical attention. He continued visiting her as she received treatment. Their conversations grew into a friendship and that friendship gradually became love. In June 1946 she wore a white wedding dress in Paris. Gerda and Kurt moved to the United States and settled in Buffalo, New York. They raised a family and devoted much of their lives to preserving the memory of those who had not survived. Gerda wrote *All But My Life*. Their marriage lasted fifty-six years. Kurt died in 2002. Gerda continued sharing her experiences until her death in 2022 at the age of ninety-seven. One of her most cherished memories remained that brief encounter in 1945 when Kurt opened a door for her.
