"This guy, John, has been coming into my work for years.
I told him I was going to Vietnam next week with my girlfriend. He told me he was over there during the fall of Saigon and helped orphan babies get on evacuation planes and helicopters as a Marine. I told him I was one of those babies. He looked at me, his eyes started to well up, and he said he might have held me in his arms during the rescue mission (Operation Babylift).
We talked for a while and I thanked him dearly for his service and kindness. In the end, he told me he'll sleep better tonight knowing a small innocent baby has now grown up with a better life in America. What an amazing man you are John. And thank you again for your service! I'm no longer an orphan."

30 State Alliance Moves to End Gaza Atrocities.
Weapons bans, financial divestments, prosecutions: a coalition of 30 states spanning Latin America, Africa, Asia, and Europe has launched an international initiative aimed at ending the ongoing atrocities in Gaza and the West Bank. The 'Hague Group' alliance was formed in January 2025, and convened this week in Bogotá, Colombia, to announce coordinated legal, economic, and political actions against Israel’s conduct in the occupied Palestinian territories.
Twelve of the states have committed to immediate actions, including a global arms embargo, divestment from companies and investors profiting from the violence, and intensified efforts to investigate and prosecute those responsible in both national and international courts.
“Palestine has changed global consciousness, drawing a clear line between those who oppose genocide and those who accept it or are part of it,” said Francesca Albanese, the United Nations Special Rapporteur on the occupied Palestinian territories.
“Ministers, the truth is that Palestine has already triggered a revolution, and you are part of it.”

Julian Assange - "The criminalisation of newsgathering activities is a threat to investigative journalism everywhere. I was formally convicted, by a foreign power, for asking for, receiving, and publishing truthful information about that power while I was in Europe. The fundamental issue is simple: Journalists should not be prosecuted for doing their jobs. Journalism is not a crime; it is a pillar of a free and informed society"

My brother waited 13 yr to come here with my sponsorship after background check, health screening, in person interviews & paying the fees. He has worked nonstop to support his family. If we need workers, let legal immigrants come in quicker & work. No amnesty! No free handouts!

A man… a river… a cross.
🙏 Dan Beazley stood at the edge of the Guadalupe in Ingram, Texas—not with answers, but with faith. With the weight of unimaginable loss pressing down on this community, he carried a large wooden cross to the water’s edge and dropped to his knees in prayer.
This is what hope looks like in the middle of heartbreak. This is what it means to show up for a hurting town, even when words fail.
🌊 The Guadalupe River has taken so much. Families. Homes. Generations. Futures. But in moments like this, it also becomes a place to lay down our grief, to lift up our pain, and to stand in unity—no matter who we are or what we believe.
🙏 Will you join Dan? From wherever you are—whatever your faith—send up a prayer for Ingram, for Hunt, for Kerrville… and for the people still searching, grieving, and rebuilding.
Because Texas needs all of us right now. 💔
Post what you would say in your prayer today? And share to spread this powerful message of unity.
