This headline is ridiculous. 🤦♂️
America grows tomatoes. The whole point of the policy is to protect American tomato growers who have argued for years that Mexican tomatoes were being sold here at unfairly low prices.
But somehow we jumped straight from a 17% duty on Mexican tomatoes to “TRUMP COULD END FREE CHIPS AND SALSA.”
And the actual story doesn’t even point to some nationwide wave of restaurants taking free salsa off the table.
You can debate whether the policy is good or bad, but framing it like Trump is personally coming for the little bowl of salsa at your local Mexican restaurant is hilarious. 😂

🚨 THE OUTRAGE IS REAL: GM is officially killing the oil dipstick.
First, the auto industry tried to force us into monthly subscriptions just to use our own heated seats. Then they started voiding warranties if you dare to change your own brakes.
Now, General Motors is taking away the most basic tool under the hood.
For the 2027 Chevy Silverado and GMC Sierra V8s, GM is completely removing the physical engine oil dipstick.
Their corporate response? A total shrug. They claim they’re "simplifying the ownership experience" by replacing it with a digital sensor at the bottom of the oil pan.
Translation: If your truck is burning oil and you want to double-check the level yourself, you either have to cross your fingers that the computer isn't glitching, or you have to jack the truck up, crawl underneath it, or pay a dealership service center just to find out where your fluid levels are.
It’s an absolute middle finger to
American truck owners, DIY mechanics, and anyone who believes in the Right to Repair. The comments section on TikTok is already completely losing its mind, with thousands calling for an absolute boycott of GM products.
Corporate greed has officially crossed the line. They don't care what the public thinks—they just want total control over the vehicle you supposedly "own."
Are you standing with the boycott, or are you letting corporate algorithms control your engine? Drop your thoughts below. 👇🏼

Do not pay for this.
Rivals is now charging high school athletes $499 for ‘evaluation’ and ‘ranking consideration’ awfulannouncing.com/high-sch…

Every single American man should experience a NASCAR race, in person, at least one time in their life. It’s impossible to impart the raw energy and power. F1 races are not fun to attend. Feeling, literally feeling, 35 cars go by at 750hp is pure joy

I don’t think we talked enough about how big of a middle finger it is to NFL fans to have your Thursday night opener be on a paid streaming service and in a foreign country

Boston College and Rutgers were always scheduled to play this season. Boston College moved the game to Friday night on purpose.
September 11, 2026. Twenty five years.
Rutgers is the FBS program closest to New York City. Thirty seven of their alumni were killed that day, including a football letterwinner named James Martello.
So every helmet Friday night will carry the number 37, along with the names of the people it stands for.
Never Forget runs down the sides of the jersey. The striping is a tribute to first responders. Players who wear the gloves can lock their hands together and the gloves read Never Forget too.
Nothing on that uniform is a design choice.
Boston College honors one man.
Welles Crowther was a BC graduate working as an equities trader in the South Tower. He was also a volunteer firefighter back home in Rockland County, New York.
When the building was hit, he went down to the 78th floor sky lobby, where dozens of people were trapped and badly hurt, and started getting them out. He carried a woman on his back down seventeen flights of stairs.
Then he went back up.
He did that over and over.
He is credited with saving 18 people.
The survivors who got out couldn't tell anybody who he was. They didn't know his name. All they could describe was that the man leading them down had a red bandanna tied over his mouth and nose to keep the smoke out.
That's how the world came to know him. The man in the red bandanna.
He didn't make it out.
Since 2014, Boston College has played one Red Bandanna Game every season. The bandanna pattern runs through the numbers, the sleeves and the trim. Where a player's last name normally goes, the jersey reads For Welles.
Friday night is that game.
So on the 25th anniversary, in Chestnut Hill, one team runs out carrying 37 names on their helmets.
The other runs out wearing a dead man's bandanna.

I hope everyone will read Dave Ramsey’s comments about going cashless. It’s a two minute read. No one has explained it better. He brings up several situations I'd never considered.
I took this picture of my receipt in my beautiful town Kerrville Texas. I support this and I can see how this could affect our kids by having gaps in work ethic, financial literacy, and community connection.
Dave Ramsey repost:
HERE'S WHAT NO CASH ACTUALLY MEANS:
A cashless society means no cash. Zero. It doesn’t mean mostly cashless and you can still use a ‘wee bit of cash here & there’. Cashless means fully digital, fully traceable, fully controlled. I think those who support a cashless society aren’t fully aware of what they are asking for. A cashless society means:
* If you are struggling with your mortgage on a particular month, you can’t do an odd job to get you through.
* Your child can’t go & help the local farmer to earn a bit of summer cash.
* No more cash slipped into the hands of a child as a good luck charm or from their grandparent when going on holidays.
* No more money in birthday cards.
* No more piggy banks for your child to collect pocket money & to learn about the value of earning.
* No more cash for a rainy day fund or for that something special you have been putting $20 a week away for.
* No more little jobs on the side because your wages barely cover the bills or put food on the table.
* No more charity collections.
* No more selling bits & pieces from your home that you no longer want/need for a bit of cash in return.
* No more cash gifts from relatives or loved ones.
What a cashless society does guarantee:
* Banks have full control of every single penny you own.
* Every transaction you make is recorded.
* All your movements & actions are traceable.
* Access to your money can be blocked at the click of a button when/if banks need ‘clarification’ from you which will take about 3 weeks, a thousand questions answered & five thousand passwords.
* You will have no choice but to declare & be taxed on every dollar in your possession.
* The government WILL decide what you can & cannot purchase.
* If your transactions are deemed in any way questionable, by those who create the questions, your money will be frozen, ‘for your own good’.
Forget about cash being dirty. Stop being so easily led. Cash has been around for a very, very, very long time & it gives you control over how you trade with the world. It gives you independence.
If you are a customer, pay with cash. If you are a shop owner, remove those ridiculous signs that ask people to pay by card. Cash is a legal tender, it is our right to pay with cash. Banks are making it increasingly difficult to lodge cash.
Please open your eyes. Please stop believing everything you are being told. Almost every single topic in today’s world is tainted with corruption & hidden agendas.
Pay with cash & please say no to a cashless society while you still have the choice.
Copy and paste to your page if you like! Posted from a friend…. I agree 💯

Nobody tells you when you’re a kid that one random Sunday at Grandma’s house will eventually be the last time everyone is there at the same time.
The cousins are running in and out of the house.
Somebody’s yelling, “STOP SLAMMING THAT DOOR!”
The adults are sitting around the kitchen table talking about things you couldn’t care less about.
There’s food everywhere.
Someone is asleep in a recliner.
You can hear the TV from the other room.
You’re bored half the time and begging to go home.
And you have absolutely no idea that you are standing inside a memory you will spend the rest of your life wishing you could walk back into.
Then everybody grows up.
The cousins move away.
People get married.
Families get busy.
Grandparents get older.
The house gets sold.
Some people stop speaking.
Some people are no longer here.
And suddenly you’d give just about anything to sit at that kitchen table for ten more minutes and hear everybody’s voices coming from different rooms.
The older I get, the more I realize…
We weren’t “just going to Grandma’s house.”
We were going to the one place where our entire family still belonged to each other.
And somehow none of us realized it was temporary.
If you had a house like that growing up, you were richer than you knew. 🤍
Whose house was “the house” in your family?
