As a suicide loss survivor I’m disturbed & disgusted by all the threats & ideations being expressed on social media today. Weaponizing self harm and threats is manipulation. “If you love me, you’ll do what I tell you to”. No one wants you dead, they want you to be healthy & well.

🚨 BREAKING: HISTORIC FRENCH CITY HALL DESTROYED BY RIOTERS!
The historic Limoges City Hall in France has been engulfed in flames after masked rioters reportedly stormed the building, smashed windows, and deliberately set it on fire during nationwide unrest.
The building, inaugurated in 1883, survived two World Wars. Tonight, much of it lies in ruins.
The roof has collapsed, and officials report that approximately two-thirds of the building’s exterior has been destroyed.
Even more disturbing? People were reportedly still inside when the rioters set the building ablaze. Thankfully, officials have reported no injuries.
This wasn’t peaceful protesting. This was destruction of a historic landmark that stood for more than 140 years.
Goodbye, France.

🚨#BREAKING: A nonverbal boy with autism in Tennessee ran away from his family... and was found by a police officer, standing alone in a Target toy section in front of toy dinosaurs.
The officer, Sgt. Henderson BOUGHT him the toys... and brought him home to his family!
It happened in Murfreesboro, Tennessee.
Someone spotted a child running alone across a parking lot and called it in.
Sgt. Travis Henderson found him inside, in the toy section, fixated on the dinosaur toys.
The boy couldn't speak. He couldn't tell the officer his name, where he lived, or how scared he might be.
Sgt. Henderson understood immediately what he was dealing with.
So he didn't raise his voice and he didn't rush him.
He connected with the little boy who couldn't say a single word... through dinosaurs.
Then he bought him the toys and brought him to his parents.
The police department said it perfectly: "It's a moment of patience, understanding, and genuine compassion. In a world that often moves too fast, this officer paused, connected, and led with kindness."
GOD BLESS Sgt. Travis Henderson!!!!

🚨#BREAKING: Firefighters in Wisconsin are hailing 5 teenage boys as HEROES after they BUSTED DOWN A DOOR TO A BURNING HOME to save a 91-year-old elderly couple and their family on July 4th.
When firefighters arrived, they discovered the boys had already rescued ALL SIX PEOPLE inside the home.
According to investigators, the boys noticed what they thought was a bonfire from their home.
As they walked closer, they saw a home was on fire and started banging on the doors and windows and heard people yelling.
The group of boys BROKE DOWN THE DOOR, ran into the home, called out for the victims and rescued all them.
“We started calling out for people and asking if anybody was in there. And then we ended up getting quite a bit of responses. There ended up being five or six people in the house..."
"...you are kind of just feeling around, yelling, and then I heard a couple in the room on the left. So I went in there and got them out."
As the last person stepped out of the home, the flames intensified.
INCREDIBLE!!!!!!!!

🚨WOW!!!!
A Vietnam vet gave up his dream car, a '69 Mustang Mach 1, to raise his 6 sons.
He never let them see what it cost him.
50 years later, his youngest traded away his OWN Mustang to track down the exact car... and handed his dad the keys on Father's Day.
His name is Daniel Allen and he came home from the Vietnam war and bought his dream car.
It was a white 1969 Mustang Mach 1.
Black hood, red stripes, four-speed.
And then he gave it up.
Because one baby became two. Then three. Then six sons. And a two-door muscle car can't raise a family.
So Daniel traded away his dream, the way good fathers do.
He never made his boys feel the cost of it.
But his youngest son, Shane, was always listening.
Every time his dad told the story of "the one that got away," it stuck. The two of them even made a tradition of it, going to Father's Day car shows together, hunting for Mustangs, reminiscing.
So this year, Shane found it.
A white '69 Mach 1, exactly like the one his father described for decades.
He traded away his OWN restored Mustang GT to get it, then had it repainted and reupholstered to match his dad's memory down to the detail.
And to get it, he traded away his OWN restored Mustang.
On Father's Day, at their car show, Daniel walked past a Mach 1 and noticed a name tag hanging from the mirror that read "Daniel."
He figured it was a coincidence. Half-joking, he said, "Where are my keys?"
His son reached out and put the keys in his hand and told him to fire it up.
This grown man. This veteran. He climbed out of that car, asked his son how on earth he'd pulled it off, and when Shane told him he'd traded his own custom Mustang to do it...
...Daniel broke down and wrapped his boy in his arms.
Fifty years later, the dream he laid down for his kids... his kid handed right back to him.
God bless the Allen family. That's what it's all about.

...breaks down into TEARS, live on air saying he has FALLEN IN LOVE with America after a random man named "Bob" in Boston gave him a ride home after he was stuck at a game with no way back to his hotel
The German soccer fan's name is Sebastian, he said after meeting Bob, he extended his entire trip.

🚨#BREAKING: A police officer in Phoenix has rented out an ENTIRE 144-SEAT MOVIE THEATER for over 100 middle schoolers after their end-of-year field trip fell through, so they could see Toy Story 5.
When they got there, he realized many couldn't afford popcorn or drinks...
..so he bought EVERY SINGLE ONE OF THEM popcorn, candy, and a drink too.
His name is Sean Reavies,
For many kids, it was their first time ever inside of a movie theater in their lives.
When the kids asked how they could pay him back, he told them:
"As you get older in life, help other people. As a payback to me. Would you do that? That's all I ask of you."
MORE OF THIS!!!!! 🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸

The New York Provincial Congress evacuates New York City as British forces approach.
Yesterday, General Washington learned of 45 Royal Navy ships bearing down on New York from Sandy Hook. The situation looks dire.

Replying to @japan_nobunaga
Nobunaga-San, you’re giving me a new appreciation for Waffle House!! I feel that we need another revival of The Travel Channel’s “Man vs Food” with you as the host!!
Dear @travelchannel
I think that we need a revival of “Man vs Food” with @japan_nobunaga as a host!! He is a treasure and his poetic descriptions of what we consider to be mundane eats have me craving Waffle House more than a next day hangover.
Can someone please make this happen? 😎

Clark Griswold, the indefatigable 80s dad immortalized by Chevy Chase in National Lampoon's Vacation, embodies the optimistic, slightly unhinged American family man of the Reagan era.
With his polyester shirts, ambitious grin, and unbreakable belief that a perfect family road trip will forge lifelong memories, Clark charges forward despite disasters...overloaded station wagons, dysfunctional relatives, and hilariously catastrophic detours.
He represents the earnest provider who overpromises and underdelivers, yet never stops trying.
In an age of economic boom and nuclear-family idealism, Griswold captured the hilarious gap between suburban dreams and chaotic reality.
Decades later, he remains the patron saint of well-intentioned dads everywhere, proving that enthusiasm and a little duct tape can conquer anything.
This was really difficult to listen to, but seeing some of the negative comments about the dispatcher and the profession in general make it abundantly clear that most people have zero idea what we do. What people perceive as unnecessary questions, repeating information and wasting time is part of obtaining information. Repeating info back to the caller is confirming that it’s correct. Super easy for a stressed out caller to accidentally transpose numbers on an address, and some street names sound similar. Asking about the attacker - they want to know if the scene poses a threat to EMS, because that changes their response. They’re not armed. Asking a patients info - the dispatcher is giving as much info to EMS as possible to help them give care. All of the typing in the background? That’s the dispatcher sending that info to responders in real time, keeping them updated. At times, we may make mistakes, but we try our best not to, because lives are at risk. We’re human. And believe me, those dispatchers are probably affected by this call as well. My heart goes out to them, and all who witnessed this awful tragedy and tried to help.

🚨 Missing Wheelchair
At the Scotland v Morocco game at @GilletteStadium Mary and John were in section 303 for wheelchair users.
John’s wheelchair was stowed for the game and unfortunately someone removed it from the storage area insisting he needed it for his father.
We can only presume he thought John's wheelchair belonged to the stadium.
If it was you, can you DM us to let us know where exactly you left it so it can be located and returned to John.
