Jakub Kulik – a True Polish Hero 🇵🇱
On one side, the liars in the government and international media. On the other, a True Polish Hero.
On Saturday, when a gunman opened fire on Kraków's Main Market Square, senior constable Jakub Kulik and his partner, Artur Morański, did what heroes do: they ran toward the shots. They stopped him. Officials say the death toll would have been far higher without them.
Jakub is a former paratrooper, and for ten years he has been a volunteer firefighter. "For him, service was everything," says the head of his fire brigade. Paratrooper, firefighter, policeman: all his life, he has run toward what others run from.
He was badly wounded, shot three times. One of his lungs is not working, and he is fighting for his life.
While a minister was busy writing a story, a constable had already dealt with the facts.
Pray for him. And if you can, give blood: he needs AB Rh+. Any blood donation center in Poland will take it – just say it is for Jakub Kulik.
Jakub, Poland is with you. 🇵🇱
The Coordinated Camp of the Lie
Six people were murdered in Kraków on Saturday. The killer's own mother, father and sister were found dead at home. Poland is in mourning. 🕯️
That same evening – while the police were still saying the motive was unknown and his house was still being searched – the Minister of the Interior announced that the attacker was "fascinated by far-right ideologies." Ultranationalist, of course. He added that this would be verified.
No evidence has been shown. The mayor of Kraków, who is not a man of the right, called it the act of a madman. Reports from classmates, and photos attributed to him online, point somewhere else entirely.
But within hours, "far-right" was in headlines across Europe. The minister's own caveat – "this will be verified" – mostly stayed behind in Kraków. Four days before the Independence March, the story fit perfectly.
That is how the camp of the Lie works. It needs no central office. It needs a shared story, and people who know which facts to wait for and which to run with.
A civilized state follows a simple rule: evidence first, verdict last – or not at all. This government reversed it, before the six victims were even buried.
The coordinated camp of the Lie.
We are being governed by them.
And that needs to stop.

This is a good reaction.
But I will say, enough of the "rival sports team" politics. We're not getting anything out of "We won! Haha!" or "Your side lost!"
Damn. Just get the job done.
Politicians need to stop making influencer videos and just do the basic job of balancing their budgets, enforcing the laws, setting tax rates reasonably, using the tax dollars for basic services (roads, police, fire, schools, etc) before money goes to anything (or anybody) else, prepare for worst case scenarios, etc. And then, shut up.
If these new people can do it, then fine, DO IT.
Enough about your "identity agendas." Nobody cares.
Do your job.
Whoever. Somebody. Anybody.
One of the things the data analysts on our side obsessed over was "composition"—whether the electorate looked close enough to 2024 for Republicans to win. And despite polls that showed a Democrat blowout, the data kept on telling us the same story: in some states turnout was merely OK, in other states it was downright amazing, and in no state was it catastrophic. There was a genuine sense of optimism on our team: our people were showing up.
So, I asked the smartest data guy I know, does that mean we're going to shock the world? "No," he told me. "We might do better than the polls suggest. But the data is telling us that a lot of Trump/Vance 2024 voters are pissed and planning to vote for the other guys. Our voters are turning out, but they may not vote for us."
Well, that looks prophetic now. Our voters did show up. In Florida, for example, the electorate was 9 points more Republican than Democrat, just a couple points worse than 2024. Undoubtedly there were places we could have done better on turnout. But the main problem is not turnout. The main problem is that many people who voted for Trump/Vance in 2024 voted for Democrats in 2026.
There will be a lot of infighting and arguing over what happened and why that is. One of the pollsters I really respect told me that our economic messaging wasn’t sharp enough down the stretch. I’m sure that’s true.
But the real reason we lost is obvious to almost everyone.
Another pollster—one of the smartest people I know in politics, told me yesterday we’d lose the generic ballot by 13 points. I felt negative going into Tuesday, but even I was shocked by this. In his polling, he saw that a lot of Trump 2024 voters were angry and planning to vote for Democrats. He asked those voters who had abandoned us what would cause them to come back on our team. The top four answers, accounting for nearly all of the responses were:
1) End the war
2) Focus on cost of living/inflation
3) Put America First
4) Change our relationship to Israel
Our voters showed up. And the above four reasons are why many of them voted for Democrats. This is according to a pollster who nailed the results. While many spent Monday attacking Rachel Campos Duffy for calling for a diplomatic resolution to the conflict, it turns out her political advice was sound. (She’s also a great person.)
In the next few months, there's going to be a lot of gaslighting. Expect to hear any number of establishment politicians say the solution to our woes is amnesty. I'm open to the idea that we should change enforcement—by focusing more on businesses that hire illegal labor, for instance. But anyone pushing amnesty is lying to you.
The reason we lost is the war. The president himself said so last night.
If you'd like to argue it was worth it, that losing the Senate for the next 6 years was worth it, then do so. Argue it was a worthwhile cost to pay. Agree or disagree, that's at least honest.
But everyone knows why we lost. And any honest conversation about where we go from here must start there.
I remain hopeful about our country. To the people who are pissed off and want to say, “I told you so”: you’re right, you did tell us so. Take that energy into electing Republicans who share your worldview. To the people who are just pissed at the results, you should be. Let’s take that anger and get back to the work of saving our country.

🚨 UPDATE: Kaylub Giamanco, the dad who killed the Bend, Oregon school shooter, gives credit to the unarmed TEACHER who fought the gunman with her BARE HANDS 👏🏻
"I want to recognize HER. SHE gave me the opportunity to make my shot without losing my life...That's a real TRUE hero, to not have a weapon and to put yourself in between your babies and a firearm."
This man is pure selfless. Give him a medal of freedom!
Police say she threw her PHONE at the 16-year-old gunman, then tackled him and fought for the gun. That gave Giamanco the shot he needed
When the gunman went for his weapon again, Giamanco fired two more times "to make sure that he couldn't move"
He saved countless lives, and he's still apologizing: "I want to apologize for not saving their babies." 💔
Man, this guy is a hero with a heart of gold. 🇺🇸

🚨#BREAKING: A 17-year-old White boy is being HAILED AS A HERO after he STOOD UP TO BULLIES who were throwing food at a girl in his school cafeteria...
...and then NINE OF THEM began BEATING HIM on his way to his car
They could NOT knock him down and then ALL NINE WERE ARRESTED!!!!
This happened last week at Harmony High School in Osceola County, Florida.
He was sitting at lunch with his girlfriend when they saw a girl getting pelted with carrots.
Nobody was stepping in, so he did.
Two of the boys got in his face. He didn’t swing. He didn’t escalate, he stood his ground.
Right after school, he was walking to his car through the tunnel by campus when one teen hit him... and EIGHT more piled on.
NINE against ONE.
Video shows them throwing punch after punch to his face and head.
He went to the hospital and needed ELEVEN STITCHES to close his face.
His sister Brianna Bailey says he has never been able to tolerate bullies, or anyone being cruel to the people he loves.
When she saw the photo of his bloody face, she was shocked... then she found out WHY it happened.
“He stood his ground.”
Somebody filmed it, that video went straight to deputies.
They identified EVERY SINGLE ONE.
All NINE were arrested at the school, all NINE charged with aggravated battery and inciting a riot, and the school district says they’ve been EXPELLED.
The sheriff himself came out and said it plain: this young man is the brave one, and the ones who ganged up on him are the cowards.
Now people everywhere are calling him a HERO.
He’s recovering at home.
And his sister has one message for every kid out there: if you see someone getting bullied, stand up for them.
GOD BLESS this young man and GOD BLESS his family.

Heroes. Saw this on fb and wanted to share.
Two brothers were fishing behind their Carmel, Indiana neighborhood on a Monday morning when a stroller rolled down an embankment and plunged into the retention pond in front of them.
Maddox Larger is 15. His brother Grant is 14.
Inside that stroller was a 2-year-old, strapped in and sinking.
Their grandmother was already in the water, struggling. She had a 4-year-old strapped to her back, and neither she nor that child could swim.
Maddox heard her scream and ran.
The brothers jumped in.
Together they pulled the grandmother and the 4-year-old to dry land first. But the worst part was not over.
The stroller was upside down in the pond with the 2-year-old still clipped inside.
Maddox went back into the water.
He got the stroller to the surface, unbuckled the little one, and lifted the child out. But the toddler was not breathing.
So Maddox did the one thing he remembered. He leaned the child forward and began back slaps, over and over.
And the child spit out the water and started breathing again.
By the time first responders reached them, both little ones were conscious and crying, and the whole family was safely out of the pond.
Police say the brothers' quick thinking is what made the difference between a tragedy and a miracle.
The city plans to honor Maddox and Grant at the Carmel City Council meeting next month.
Two kids went out to fish that morning, and came home having carried three people back from the edge of the worst day of their lives.

To every American, and to everyone watching France burn from abroad:
Do not blame the French people for this.
We never asked for it. We never voted for it. And the one time we were clearly asked, we said no.
Here are the numbers your media won't show you.
70% of the French say there are too many immigrants in France today.
79% want a tougher immigration policy.
77% disapprove of the government's record on immigration.
83% want foreign criminals and long-term unemployed foreigners sent home.
And no, it's not just the old. 69% of French 18 to 24 year olds support suspending legal immigration for three years.
This is not a fringe. This is the French people.
In 2005, we were asked if we wanted the European Constitution. 55% voted no. Three years later, our politicians passed the same text under another name, through parliament, without ever asking us again.
That is modern France in one sentence. The people say no. The elites do it anyway.
So who is responsible? The politicians who lied to us. A class of leaders formed in the same schools, the same forums, the same networks, loyal to each other before they are loyal to their nations.
In 2017, at Harvard, Klaus Schwab, founder of the World Economic Forum, bragged about his Young Global Leaders program in four words: "We penetrate the cabinets." He added that it was true in France. Emmanuel Macron was one of his Young Global Leaders.
It's the same project in Brussels with Ursula von der Leyen and in Paris with Macron. Borders treated as an obstacle. Nations treated as relics. The people treated as a problem to be managed.
What you are watching in France is not the French people failing. It is the end of the globalist project, an abject, quasi-communist dream of a world run by unelected planners. It is collapsing everywhere in Europe at once, and the West has to cut this cancer out before it takes the rest of the body with it.
The peoples of Europe don't want this. They never did.
So when you see our town halls burning, don't say "the French chose this."
The French never chose this.
They were forced into it.
If you're French and you agree, repost this so the world hears it from us.
If you're American, look at us carefully. Then choose differently on November 3rd.

🚨#BREAKING: Two teenager brothers are being hailed as HEROES after they DOVE INTO A RETENTION POND to RESCUE A GRANDMOTHER and a 2 and 5 year old from drowning!!!
...the 2 teens heard the splash, ran over, and pulled ALL THREE of them out ALIVE!!!
The baby was still underwater in that stroller when they found him. He’s ALIVE today! ❤️
Their names are Maddox and Grant Larger.
They’re brothers from Carmel, Indiana.
Maddox is 15. Grant is 14.
On Monday morning, around 11:15, Grant heard a splash.
He looked down at the pond and saw them floating in the water.
A grandmother, struggling, going under.
Her 4-year-old grandbaby was strapped to her back.
The stroller holding her 2-year-old had rolled into the pond and was partially SUBMERGED.
Neither grandma nor the 4-year-old knew how to swim.
Grant got on the phone with 911.
Maddox, who swims for the Carmel Swim Club, jumped STRAIGHT IN.
Together the brothers dragged grandma and the 4-year-old to dry land.
But here’s the part that got me...
Once everyone was out, Maddox realized the baby was STILL IN THE STROLLER.
He unbuckled him, pulled him out, tipped him over to drain the water, and patted his back until the little baby coughed up the pond water... and started BREATHING again.
By the time firefighters and police got there, both little kids were conscious.
Carmel officials say there is no doubt these two boys SAVED THAT 2-YEAR-OLD’S LIFE.
The fire department says they proved you don’t need a uniform or a badge to be a hero.
And Grant? Humble as can be.
“Anybody would’ve done what we did.”
The city is honoring both brothers at the Carmel City Council meeting on November 16.
FIFTEEN and FOURTEEN years old!!!!!!
GOD BLESS Maddox and Grant Larger.
THIS IS THE AMERICA I KNOW!!! 🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸

🚨WOW!!!!!
An 11-year-old boy in Kentucky has been hailed as a hero for RESCUING a man who was drowning and unconscious at the bottom of a pool.
His name is Avory Woolery, he is ELEVEN years old.
According to Avory, the adults around the pool weren't doing anything, so he put on his goggles, dove down, and pulled a grown man up out of the water.
"No one was doing anything, so I put on my goggles. I went underwater. I grabbed him up. There was no way that I was going to let another man die today. He's a human being. He should be treated as such."
In August, Kentucky lawmakers gave him a citation of achievement and he got to meet the governor.
The kid's response?
"Try and be the best person you can be whenever someone is in danger or someone just needs a friend,"
WHAT AN ABSOLUTE HERO!!!!! 🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸

I’m French. I want to talk to Americans who are about to vote Democrat. Not to insult you. To warn you.
I come from your future.
In France we did everything your progressive politicians promise. Free healthcare, free college, generous welfare, strong unions, heavy regulation, high taxes on the rich, a state that takes care of everything. Public spending close to 57% of GDP, one of the highest on the planet. On paper, it’s the dream.
Here’s what it looks like from the inside. France hasn’t passed a balanced budget since 1974. Our debt is above 3,300 billion euros. Interest on that debt is becoming one of the biggest items in the national budget. Our hospitals are collapsing despite record funding. Our schools rank lower every year. Young people with degrees can’t afford an apartment in the city they were born in. Our best engineers leave for London, Zurich and San Francisco. And the rich you wanted to tax? They left too, and took the jobs with them.
The promise was protection. The result is stagnation.
The worst part is that nobody in France voted for decline. Every single step sounded generous, compassionate, reasonable. One more program. One more regulation. One more tax to fund it. Each step alone makes sense. Fifty years of them, and you wake up in a country that can no longer build a nuclear plant on time or keep its streets safe.
I love America because it’s the one place on earth where people still believe they can build something from nothing. I came to Silicon Valley as a self-taught kid and it changed my life. That spirit is the most precious thing your country has.
Before you vote, ask yourself one question: is the program you’re voting for making America more like America, or more like France?
Trust me. You don’t want to be France.
Je n'ai jamais été aussi optimiste. Pas malgré le chaos actuel, mais grâce à lui.
Je vais vous expliquer pourquoi l'empire du mensonge construit par la gauche depuis cinquante ans va s'effondrer, et pourquoi ce n'est pas une opinion mais une question de physique.
Tout commence avec un mouvement né sur X il y a quelques années : l'effective accelerationism, ou e/acc.
Au départ, c'est une idée presque thermodynamique. L'univers a une tendance de fond : la matière s'organise pour capter et dissiper l'énergie de plus en plus efficacement. Une cellule fait ça. Une forêt fait ça. Une civilisation fait ça. Le marché, la technologie et le capital sont les formes les plus avancées de ce processus. Ce sont des machines à transformer l'énergie en intelligence, en abondance, en complexité.
La thèse e/acc est simple : il ne faut pas freiner cette dynamique, il faut l'embrasser. Plus d'énergie, plus de calcul, plus d'innovation, plus de croissance. Monter sur l'échelle de Kardashev au lieu de s'excuser d'exister. En face, il y a les « décels » : ceux qui veulent ralentir, réguler, taxer, interdire, culpabiliser. Ceux qui voient le progrès comme une menace à contenir plutôt qu'une force à libérer.
Mais il y a une dimension de l'accélération dont presque personne ne parle. L'accélération n'est pas seulement un moteur. C'est un filtre.
Pensez à n'importe quel organisme. Un corps humain en bonne santé peut courir. Il accélère, son cœur pompe plus fort, ses muscles consomment plus d'oxygène, et tout fonctionne parce que le système est bien conçu. Maintenant, prenez un corps malade. Des artères bouchées, un cœur fragile, des organes qui ne communiquent plus entre eux. Faites-le courir. Il ne va pas plus vite vers la santé. Il va plus vite vers l'infarctus.
L'accélération ne corrige pas les défauts d'un système. Elle les amplifie. Un système sain qui accélère devient plus fort. Un système dysfonctionnel qui accélère meurt plus vite.
Et c'est exactement ce qui est en train d'arriver au projet que je vais appeler par son nom : le projet globalo-socialiste. Celui porté par les démocrates américains, par la technostructure de Bruxelles, par les entités supranationales qui n'ont de comptes à rendre à personne, par un réseau d'ONG financées par l'argent public pour dicter la morale aux peuples qui les financent.
Regardez ce que ce projet a produit.
Des États obèses qui prélèvent plus de la moitié de la richesse produite et qui délivrent des services publics de plus en plus dégradés. Des écoles qui n'apprennent plus à lire mais qui apprennent à culpabiliser. Des hôpitaux à bout de souffle malgré des budgets records. Une immigration massive sans aucune exigence d'assimilation, présentée comme une chance par ceux qui n'en subissent jamais les conséquences. Une désindustrialisation organisée au nom d'une écologie punitive qui délocalise la pollution en Chine et l'emploi avec. Des normes, des normes, et encore des normes, jusqu'à ce qu'il devienne plus simple de créer une entreprise à Austin qu'à Lyon. Une justice qui excuse le coupable et soupçonne la victime. Une censure qui avance masquée sous le nom de « lutte contre la désinformation ». Et une jeunesse à qui l'on a expliqué que son pays, son histoire et sa civilisation étaient des crimes à expier.
Ce n'est pas un ensemble de bugs. C'est la conception elle-même.
Maintenant, changeons d'image. Voyez ce système comme un moteur.
Un bon moteur, c'est de la précision. Des pièces qui s'emboîtent, un minimum de frottements, une énergie qui se transforme en mouvement. Le marché libre, la propriété, la responsabilité individuelle, la monnaie saine : c'est ça, un moteur bien conçu. L'information circule par les prix, chaque erreur est sanctionnée, chaque bonne idée est récompensée.
Le moteur socialiste, lui, est mal conçu dès le départ. Il ne tourne pas sur la création de valeur mais sur sa redistribution. Il ne récompense pas la performance, il la taxe. Il ne laisse pas les erreurs mourir, il les subventionne. Résultat : ça frotte partout. Ça chauffe. Ça grince. Chaque pièce use la pièce d'à côté.
Et que font ceux qui pilotent ce moteur ? Au lieu de le reconcevoir, ils changent les pièces. En permanence. Une pièce cède, on en remet une neuve. Encore une. Encore une.
Ces pièces de rechange, vous les connaissez. Elles s'appellent la dette publique et la planche à billets.
La France a dépassé les 3 300 milliards d'euros de dette et n'a pas voté un budget à l'équilibre depuis le milieu des années 70. Les États-Unis ont franchi les 37 000 milliards de dollars. Les banques centrales ont maintenu des taux à zéro pendant des années, imprimé des montants que plus personne ne sait se représenter, et quand l'inflation est arrivée, elles ont fait semblant d'être surprises. Milton Friedman l'avait pourtant dit il y a cinquante ans : l'inflation est toujours et partout un phénomène monétaire.
Chaque crise, on rachète du temps avec de l'argent qui n'existe pas. Chaque problème structurel, on l'arrose de liquidités pour masquer le bruit du moteur. Mais les frottements sont toujours là. Ils s'accumulent. Et la facture des pièces de rechange finit par coûter plus cher que le moteur lui-même : la charge de la dette devient l'un des premiers postes de dépense de l'État français.
Pendant des décennies, ce moteur mal conçu a pu tourner à 3 000 tours par minute. Lentement. Bruyamment. Mais il tournait. Le monde allait assez doucement pour que le bricolage permanent suffise à masquer l'absurdité de la conception.
Et puis l'IA est arrivée.
L'intelligence artificielle, c'est l'accélération la plus brutale de l'histoire humaine. Ce qui prenait des années prend des mois. Ce qui prenait des mois prend des jours. Des entreprises de dix personnes font ce que faisaient des entreprises de mille. Le capital, les talents et les idées se déplacent à la vitesse de la lumière vers les endroits où ils sont bien traités.
L'IA vient de faire passer le moteur de 3 000 à 20 000 tours par minute.
Posez-vous la question qu'un ingénieur se poserait. Que se passe-t-il quand on fait monter à 20 000 tours un moteur mal conçu, rafistolé de partout, qui frotte à chaque rotation ?
Il explose.
Pas parce que quelqu'un l'a saboté. Parce que la physique ne négocie pas.
Et c'est exactement ce que nous voyons en ce moment, sous nos yeux.
L'insécurité qui gagne des villes entières qui étaient paisibles il y a vingt ans. Le conflit de Gaza importé dans nos rues et instrumentalisé par une gauche qui a troqué l'ouvrier contre le clientélisme communautaire. La misère qui revient dans un pays qui a pourtant un des taux de dépense publique les plus élevés au monde. Des classes moyennes qui travaillent et n'arrivent plus à se loger. Une France fracturée, où l'on parle désormais à voix haute de risque de guerre civile.
Ce ne sont pas des accidents. Ce ne sont pas des « crises » successives sans lien entre elles. Ce sont les pièces du moteur qui commencent à voler.
C'est la conséquence logique de cinquante ans de socialisme international : un système qui a détruit la responsabilité, la frontière, la monnaie, l'école et la fierté, et qui découvre qu'à haute vitesse, tout ce qui a été détruit ne peut plus être compensé par une ligne de dette supplémentaire.
Et c'est là que je deviens profondément optimiste.
Parce qu'une fois qu'on a compris ça, on comprend aussi que leur projet a une date de fin. Pas une date politique. Une date physique. Un système qui consomme plus qu'il ne produit, qui punit ceux qui créent et récompense ceux qui détruisent, qui finance son présent en hypothéquant l'avenir de ses enfants, ne peut pas durer indéfiniment. Il n'est pas soutenable par construction. L'IA ne fait qu'avancer l'échéance.
Le mensonge a besoin de lenteur pour survivre. Il a besoin que les conséquences arrivent assez tard pour qu'on puisse accuser quelqu'un d'autre. Dans un monde à 20 000 tours, les conséquences arrivent immédiatement. Le mensonge n'a plus le temps de se cacher.
Alors, que faire quand le moteur explose ? On en construit un nouveau. Et cette fois, on le conçoit correctement.
Écoutez Elon Musk. Un homme qui a reconstruit l'industrie spatiale, la voiture électrique et l'infrastructure satellite en partant d'un principe simple : revenir aux premiers principes. Ne pas demander « comment on a toujours fait », mais « qu'est-ce qui est physiquement vrai ». C'est exactement ce dont nos États ont besoin : arrêter de rafistoler et repartir de la base.
Écoutez Javier Milei. Un homme dont tout le monde se moquait, arrivé à la tête d'un pays ravagé par un siècle de péronisme, et qui a pris la tronçonneuse au sens propre. Ministères supprimés, dépenses coupées, inflation écrasée, excédent budgétaire retrouvé. Il a prouvé une chose que la gauche jurait impossible : on peut démonter le moteur socialiste et le peuple peut le soutenir.
Écoutez Milton Friedman. Relisez-le. Tout était déjà là. La monnaie, la liberté de choisir, la responsabilité, les effets pervers de l'intervention publique. Il disait que si l'on confiait le Sahara au gouvernement fédéral, il y aurait pénurie de sable en cinq ans. On a ri. On a confié le sable. On a eu la pénurie.
Revenez à une hiérarchie et au respect du beau. Une civilisation ne tient pas que sur des chiffres. Elle tient sur l'idée qu'il existe des choses supérieures à d'autres. Que l'excellence vaut mieux que la médiocrité. Que le mérite compte. Qu'une cathédrale est plus belle qu'un parking. Que transmettre est un devoir et pas une oppression. Le relativisme a été l'arme culturelle de ce projet. Le retour du beau, du vrai et de l'exigence en sera l'antidote.
Et enfin, faites le Nuremberg du communisme. Le nazisme a été jugé, documenté, enseigné, et il est devenu moralement indéfendable. Le communisme, avec ses dizaines de millions de morts, ses goulags, ses famines organisées et ses peuples réduits en esclavage, n'a jamais eu ce procès. On peut encore porter un t-shirt du Che dans une université sans que personne ne cille. Tant que ce procès historique et moral n'aura pas eu lieu, l'idéologie continuera de muter et de revenir sous de nouveaux noms. Il faut nommer les crimes, les enseigner, honorer les victimes, et rendre cette idéologie aussi infréquentable que celle qu'elle prétendait combattre.
Le monde qui vient sera plus rapide, plus exigeant et plus impitoyable avec les systèmes mal conçus. C'est une terrible nouvelle pour ceux qui ont vécu du mensonge.
Et c'est la meilleure nouvelle de notre génération pour tous ceux qui veulent construire.
Le moteur va exploser. À nous de dessiner le suivant.

He hadn't smiled in days, terrified of his upcoming 12-hour surgery. Then, two Navy SEALs walked into his room.
10-year-old Cody had been in the hospital for weeks, his body broken from a terrible car accident. To save his spine, doctors had to put him in a "halo brace," a metal ring bolted to a vest to keep him still. It was painful, scary, and he hadn't smiled in days.
He was facing another, even more dangerous 12-hour surgery. The night before, his Child Life Specialist, a woman whose job it was to help him cope, asked him what his one biggest wish was. "I want to meet a real soldier," he whispered. "A real hero."
That specialist had a brother. He was a Navy SEAL.
The next morning, the call went out. A SEAL team was in the middle of a 48-hour urban training exercise just miles away. When they heard the request, the team leader didn't hesitate. "We're going."
Two operators, still in full combat gear—faces covered in camo paint, night-vision goggles flipped up—walked into the pediatric ward. The hospital went silent.
They entered Cody's room. He'd been crying, but his eyes went wide.
"Hey, Cody," the first SEAL said, his voice gentle. "We heard we had a real fighter in here."
"You're... you're real," Cody whispered, his eyes locked on their gear.
"We sure are," the second SEAL said, smiling. "And we heard you were going into a tough fight today. We wanted to give you this." He unclipped a patch from his vest. "This is our team patch. We only give it to the toughest guys we know. And you? You're tougher than any of us."
For 10 minutes, Cody wasn't a sick kid. He was a new recruit, being visited by his brothers-in-arms.

A 92-year-old North Carolina man got so bored 2 months into retirement that he applied to work at Chick-fil-A...
...his smile, kindness, and passion for Jesus became so contagious that when he got sick and missed 3 days of work, an ENTIRE TOWN began asking where he was.
His name is Gilbert Martin.
Everybody calls him "Mr. Gil."
Mr. Gil is 92 years old, and works at the Chick-fil-A on Oleander Drive in Wilmington, NC.
He spent decades working in the natural gas industry and when he retired, he greeted people at Sam's Club for 12 MORE years, until they eliminated his position.
Most people would call that a sign to finally rest, but not Mr. Gil!
Two months into retirement, he got bored... so he walked into Chick-fil-A and put in an application.
He was 86 years old at the time.
He's been there ever since.
Not one or two shifts a week either. Monday through Friday.
He says the full schedule gives him more chances to be there for people who need him.
His official job is dining host.
Clean tables.
Clean floors.
But Mr Gil doesn't see it that way... as he describes it, his real job is:
"I get a lot of people that are coming in, just been to the doctor, and got bad news... I'm able to be an encourager; the Lord gave me that."
A 92-year-old man who could be resting at home... chooses to stand in a dining room five days a week... so strangers on the worst day of their lives don't have to be alone.
And Wilmington noticed.
When Mr. Gil caught a cold and missed a couple of days, the owner said he was FLOODED with HUNDREDS of customers who were panicked about him.
Mr. Gil has zero plans to retire.
He says if you ever see him working, come say hi.
"I don't know what 92 is supposed to feel like, but I feel great. Serving others has always brought me joy because I believe that a smile and a kind word can make someone's day a little brighter.”

WOW okay so the most amazing thing just happened to me and I can’t help but share it with the world
American Airlines instituted a new policy where you have to pay to take a carry-on onto the plane. Which is ridiculous but off topic. I consolidate my bags into one and they measure it and say it’s just a little too big. They proceed to charge me $50, except they only take credit card, no cash. Since I just got back from Europe all my cards are being declined as Chase doesn’t know I’m back. They tell me that I’m going to have to miss the flight and head back to the ticket counter to pay down there. I’m pleading, devastated after a long day of travel. Then, this man walks up and says, “How much is it?” They tell him $50 and he says “I got it.” I’m astonished and tell him it’s fine not to worry and he hands the lady his card as the American Airlines employees stand in silence shocked by this man’s generosity. They swipe the card and he tells me to have a great flight and hop on board. I’m crying as I write this and as I board the flight. This man was an angel. I stop him as he’s sitting in first class and try to give him my money but he just shook me off and told me to pay it forward. My heart is so happy. There are good people in this world. Be that person for someone because I know after this I sure will be." Update: It was NFL player, Jermaine Gresham.”

This post copies a May 2018 thread by Delilah Cassidy verbatim as a recent personal event. American Airlines does not charge for carry-on bags that fit size limits; fees apply to checked or oversized bags.

🚨WOW!!!!
A 13-year-old boy in Utah spent his ENTIRE SUMMER building a custom wheelchair for a 21-month-old baby girl he's never met.
His name is Zac Waters.
He watched a YouTube channel about 3D printing and decided he wanted to do something with it.
So he found MakeGood, a nonprofit that 3D prints assistive devices for people with disabilities, and got to work.
He spent over 300 HOURS, designing, printing, testing. and assembling.
...but he didn't just build a chair, he custom-designed it specifically for her
He custom printed pink accents, because pink is her favorite color.
He built her a removable cupholder and tray table. He designed a space in the back for heavier medical equipment.
He gave her soft, bendable straps so they don't dig into her, he even designed an adjustable footrest and headrest so it grows with her as she does.
When they asked him why he did it, he said it combines his two favorite things in life: 3D printing and helping people in need.
He's THIRTEEN YEARS OLD.
THIS IS THE AMERICA I KNOW!!!!! 🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸

I was born to teenage parents, and when they couldn’t handle the job of parenthood, my grandparents stepped in and became the parents I needed.
Mamaw took me walking every day. Those walks were my first education. She taught me the names of plants and wildlife, the stories and legends attached to them, and how to pay attention to the little things growing and moving around me.
She taught me how to garden. How to can food. How to cook from scratch.
And every day, she read to me. Not children’s books — the classics. She helped me start my first journal when I was six years old, and somewhere along the way, she planted the love of words deep inside me.
And then there was Papaw.
Papaw was the greatest protector I’ve ever known. More than once, Papaw showed up with a shotgun to save me from a bad situation.
He taught me to ride a bicycle, bait my own hook and drive on steep mountain roads. He taught me to clog when I was five years old, and he kept taking me dancing well into my teenage years.
But the thing I remember most isn’t any one lesson.
It’s that after my mama got custody of me, there was NEVER a time Mamaw and Papaw didn’t want me.
If I wanted to come home, Papaw got in his truck.
Eight hours from Canton to Wilmington.
He’d come get me, turn around, and drive eight hours right back to Canton.
There was never a question of whether I was welcome.
I reckon they don’t make grandparents like that anymore.
And that’s a damn shame.
Because Mamaw and Papaw taught me something I’ve carried with me my whole life: family matters. Home matters. And when somebody you love needs a place to land, you open the door.
So when my grandbabies need me, my door will be open.
Twenty-four hours a day. Seven days a week.
They’ll never have to wonder if they’re wanted.
They’ll know.
Because that’s the greatest gift my grandparents gave me, and it’s one that needs to be paid forward.

If you only watch ONE video today...
Please watch this Texas High School senior with Down syndrome run for 30 yards for the FIRST touchdown of his life!
His name is Mason Wisnoski.
He's a senior at Manvel High School in Manvel, Texas, jersey number 39.
For years, Mason has been part of the Manvel Mavericks.
He runs onto the field with the team and hands out Gatorade and water, he runs the celebration flags, but he never left the sideline.
Until now.
The coach's wife came up with an idea. Coach Kirk Martin called the head coach of their rival, Alvin High School, Matthew Bass.
A couple days before the game, they told Mason he was suiting up.
He couldn't believe it.
Mason walked out as a CAPTAIN for the coin toss, then they lined up and ran his play.
Mason took the handoff and took off down the sideline, right in front of the bleachers.
Thirty yards. Untouched.
He slid in like he was stealing third base and broke out his touchdown dance. 😂
The whole team MOBBED him and the offensive line lifted him onto their shoulders and carried him off the field.
Oh, and it was his 18TH BIRTHDAY.
His dad said it best: "It just shows that kids with disabilities are more alike than they are different."
THIS IS THE AMERICA I KNOW!!! 🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸

At the start of every month, Middle Eastern-looking men load cart after cart of milk at Walmart and sometimes take it all. They were there again this month. It's baffling. 🤔

A man suddenly grabbed a child from his mother and demanded that she hand over her other children. But he had no idea a 16 year old wrestling champion was nearby.
The mother fought back as people rushed in to help, but the man struck her and kept trying to take her kids. She managed to get them inside the convenience store and behind a door, but he followed them in.
That’s when Canaan Bower came running over.
Canaan sprinted inside and found the man trying to get into the room where the family was hiding. He grabbed him, body slammed him to the ground and used his wrestling training to pin him there.
For more than five minutes, Canaan held him down until deputies arrived. The mother and all of her children were safe.
Canaan was only 16 years old. The skills he had spent years developing for wrestling ended up helping protect a mother and her children when they needed someone most.
Canaan is the kind of young man the internet should be talking about. He deserves recognition for this one.
