SAVING HIS BACON? 🥓 🤔 Starmer’s made a seemingly... executive move to soften the IHT policy for farmers while parliament is in Xmas recess. This might save the bacon of many of our family farms, but will it save Starmer’s bacon? No way! WHAT TOOK HIM SO LONG?! Reeves landed impending doom on our farmers and their families way back in the Autumn Budget of 30th Oct 2024. They couldn’t have voiced their concerns louder then. 🚜📢👇🏻 I filmed these videos LAST Christmas outside Westminster. Starmer has no excuse for not hearing their plight back then, and saved them a year of extreme stress. He acts now in self preservation, not farm preservation. His true colours have been plain all year. He only cares about himself, not his country.show more

My heart is in pieces. I lost my best... boy yesterday. He was 13 but it still felt sudden. I know a lot of you know Homer as he was often in the background of my pics. He was the sweetest, funniest and most loving little guy, and I feel very grateful to have had spent such a good amount of time with him. Yesterday Homer had a massive seizure. I rushed him to the vet immediately and they tried for several hours but we just couldn’t save him. I know it was his time. And I know I did everything I could. But it still doesn’t take away the heartache. I will miss him so much. They are with us for such a short time but have such a huge impact on our lives. Rip my little guyshow more

So it’s completely fine for Ali to call Bozo... “the man who is now married to the woman he loves” a woman he still loves and keeps confessing to at every chance MY BROTHER just because Bozo once saved his life? Everyone supports their friendship so much that they’re even okay with Ceylan sacrificing herself for it. But when Ceylan says, “I couldn’t run away from Bozo. He kept finding me everywhere I went, so I had no choice but to say yes. But love is something else I love Ali,” suddenly no one can find even a little empathy for her. I’d understand this reaction if it only came from men who can’t accept that a married woman might still love someone else. But the same women who constantly defend Sultan as a victim can’t extend that same understanding to Ceylan. The double standard is obvious. And let’s be honest if Yılmaz had truly wanted to save her from Bozo, who was literally stalking her, he would have done it. He couldn’t protect Cey or even Melek. Or he didn’t want to so Ali will be forever stuck in Bozo’s house Just like Ali said in episode 1. #Yeraltıshow more

Flying Bodies My sister’s body flew in a blast.... Flew past two buildings and a street. Her husband — may he rest in peace — was found two days later, in a nearby alley. Early in the war, a neighbor’s house was hit. The people found a woman’s body, lying calmly on a bed… but on the fifth floor of the next building. Some said: “The angels carried her to safety. She was just sleeping.” I don’t know if “flew” is the right word. But the blasts are so strong, it feels like bodies try to save themselves — leaping out of the fire, running from hell. The air smells of blood, burnt flesh, and melted iron. The sound of explosions? Like the sky ripping open, shaking the ground, deafening our ears until fear howls inside our heads. God didn’t make bodies to burn, tear, or get crushed under concrete. A father told me once — the only survivor of his family — how he spoke to his child trapped under the rubble for half an hour. The boy’s voice faded… until he gave up and slipped away. Civil defense couldn’t pull them out. Like hundreds of others, they stayed under the ruins, breathing death. Beneath this surface now live 52 martyrs. The family changed addresses — the surface isn’t a surface anymore. “Nobody really dies. Souls just change their place.” Yesterday, I saw bodies flying through endless explosions. Fire mountains climbed over the towers, and thick smoke turned the sky dark red — as if the heavens themselves were bleeding. Why do bodies run upward? Maybe at the peak of terror, they race the fire eating the earth. Maybe fear gives them wings, lifting them, even for a moment, to feel free. Now, after two years of this war, we know: no ambulances, no hospitals, no rescue teams can save us. Only the black bags wait for us — twenty kilos of burned flesh in each. I wonder: Doesn’t the world have gentler ways to kill us? Ways that don’t burn our bodies alive or scatter us into pieces? Why do we have to run from fate to the skies? Here, we do what the souls rising to God do: Forget the pain. “Oh God,” screamed a woman watching the bodies fly up, “the people are flying!” They fly, trying to find heaven’s door… forever, and ever.

India TV exposed Abhijeet Dipke in front of his... own villagers 🚨 India TV reporter - Why were you visiting schools at night yesterday? Isn’t it obvious that the school would be closed at night? Abhijeet - The school had no working street lights around it. I noticed it and called the principal to come here and give an explanation India TV reporter - Sir, you're not MP or MLA of this place? Why would the principal give explanation to you? And it’s not even his job to fix street lights around a govt school Abhijeet - I’m not an MP but I’m a proud citizen of this country and it’s my right to question things to make children’s futures better India TV reporter - Of course, sir. how can you be the MP of this place? Especially when it’s your dear friend whom you met just last week and he honoured you. You never questioned Shiv Sena even once, but you suspended all the principals over your MP friend's mistake Abhijeet Dipke started coughing as he had no reply to save his image in front of his own villagers 🙏show more

I'm launching an urgent fundraiser to support engineering equipment... for our frontline efforts, and I need your help. Please donate, like, share, and comment—every bit of support is crucial. You can find the donation link at the end of this message. The situation on the front lines is incredibly challenging. Errors by political and military leaders, combined with slow support from the West, have led to significant losses in both territory and lives in the Pokrovsk axis. While we can't always change the decisions made by our leaders, we can make a real difference by providing our soldiers with essential engineering equipment. For instance, I personally have reservations about the operation in Kursk for my own reasons. However, I am fully committed to doing everything I can to save Ukrainian lives during this operation. That’s why one of Liberty Ukraine Foundation 🇺🇸🇺🇦’s excavators is already at work at the new positions on that axis. Our efforts to save soldiers' lives should remain focused regardless of individual opinions on tactical or strategic decisions made by our Ukrainian leadership. Thanks to the fundraising efforts of Liberty Ukraine Foundation 🇺🇸🇺🇦, we have already transferred or are in the process of transferring over 8 excavators. The feedback has been overwhelmingly positive, with engineering, infantry, and artillery units reporting that this equipment is saving many lives. On both the Kursk and Pokrovsk axes, the front lines are constantly shifting, which makes the need for excavating equipment even more critical. This equipment allows our forces to adapt quickly and operate more effectively. Our goal is to raise 🎯 $110,000. I know this is a substantial amount, but we've successfully raised even more in the past, and this equipment is making a significant impact right now. donation link 🔗 Thank you for your support.show more

Happy 5th Anniversary to Everyone ❤️ Since the birth... of our NFSC, we’ve walked a powerful path through storms and sunshine and Mr. Miles Guo didn’t just help us - He awakened us and he taught us Truth, Love, Courage through the movement and this is more than a fight - This is Family, this is Faith, this is History in the making. I don’t have the right to speak for others and I never will but based on what I’ve seen - The Alliance and our Great Fellow Fighters didn’t just fight but they protected, they bled, they sacrificed, they stood tall when it hurt the most and their bravery has become the heartbeat of our movement and this is the reality, not a story or a rumor and from my point of view, it’s only going to get better and stronger. With all due respect to Brothers and Sisters, let’s take a moment to show more appreciation towards the great people around us, those in the Alliance, your Farm, your Fellow Fighters who are showing up with intelligence and courage, both online and offline activities and I truly mean this to everyone from every part of the world - One of the greatest way to stay United is by sharing Love, Respect, Support, Advice, Experiences with one another, all under the one and only important goal is to grow stronger together and fight against CCP, a journey that has been incredibly tough and long but deeply meaningful. For a very long time - I kept hearing the same question over and over again: People asked with worry, when will Mr. Miles Guo come out ? But ever since 3.15, my mind has been holding onto just one question that I keep asking myself every single day: Why would he choose to stay inside when he had the option to be free outside ? IN MY PERSONAL OPINION, it's because he wants to make it clear to everyone that he prioritizes his mission to TAKE DOWN THE CCP over his own freedom - That’s why I’ve never spent even a second believing he couldn’t get out because the people behind him is massive and there’s no such thing as 99% - It’s a 100% chance he could be released if he chose to make the call... Most importantly, please don’t misunderstand: the FACT is that he is a PURE, CLEAN, INNOCENT PERSON who has done absolutely nothing wrong and everyone knows it - CCP, the West, the Families knows it pretty well and they know far more than all of us combined and whether people agree or not, it doesn’t change the fact that he was a good person, a man of his word, a man who never backed down from doing what’s right and good for the Chinese people.show more

Dear Everyone, The last few days have been hell.... Losing Kiyo has not been easy and I’m not ok. Kiyo gave me the best time of my life. The level of joy you brought into my word and any space he was able to exist in was incomparable. Kiyo was my lover, my best friend, and my truth. He truly saw me for who I was and I saw him for who he was. I didn’t just love him, I believed in him, prayed for his victory. I cared for him. Who would have thought that bringing back a piece of Tupperware would invite me into the world of the purest, kindest soul in the world. Kiyo would do anything for anyone. He was my hero and I was his. We both kept our capes on for each other whenever we needed to save the other person. I am grateful that I got to experience a love like his. I am grateful I got to spend some of the best moments of my life with him. I am grateful that even I grieve I still feel his warmth and care. Kiyo taught me be more patient and understanding and no matter how we came into this world and no matter how bad the world treated us, it doesn’t give us the right to exact that same unkindness to others. He loves animals, anime, a good meal, Steven Universe, a really inappropriate joke, and you never had to guess how he felt about you. As he was goofy he was charming. I still feel his hands interlocked into mine and he was fearless. He loved like no other man I have met in this world could. The first night we reconnected he gave my cat Patrick the middle name Bayard. He gave me first Christmas full of love and laughs. The first man in my life to actually pay attention to me and surprise me with gifts that he knew I would love and were true to who I was as a nerd. Anytime I could get it, I was with him. He had full access to my home and my heart. To Mike and Rico thank you for always being there for him and caring for him, Mike you coming into town in March really lit him up. First time I got to dance with him. Rico thank you for taking him to there museum. He loved every moment of it. All he could do was rave about how much made his day. To Tony, his wife and his gaming community on Destiny 2, thank you for being patient with my baby and giving him space to be man that he was and to his Dad and his brothers. He loved y’all more than you know. All he wanted was for y’all to be ok. And to all his true friends and loved ones know that he always thought of y’all. I will never say goodbye to Kiyoki-D’Andre Marcel Toliver, I will say see you later because no matter where you are I know you are watching me because what we had was Immortal. As I grieve I will try to give any notice on his memorial service which will be in NYC because his grandmother sent him here to find the best version of himself and I know he truly did. I want to share this video I made months ago because I was so proud of the man I had. I want to share also the last video he took of me before we went to Brooklyn Comic-Con. If there are typos forgive me.show more

My faith journey! I grew up Baptist but was... disfellowshipped from the church I grew up in in 2014 due to being in an interracial relationship. We went to different denominations until the missionaries for The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints knocked on the door. I had been studying anti-Mormon and anti-JW literature and apologetics so I was ready to debate. I did fairly well, missionaries left discouraged but left me with a Book of Mormon. I decided to read it and underline mistakes or doctrinal errors. I was heavily convinced by the time I reached 2 Nephi 25:26 that this was true and I needed to reach out to the missionaries, so I decided to get baptized and my fiancé did too. We were married a couple of weeks later in the chapel. We received a blessing that next year and ended up with twins but we went inactive before we could be sealed. In 2020, my wife and I separated due to my ego and selfishness. I wanted to experience the world. I wanted the fast life; the women, parties, and recognition. It was empty happiness. The happiness always faded and I went to bed alone with no kids or wife. The alcohol always wore off. We ended up getting back together in the fall of 2020 before we finalized the divorce. She was a believer, I considered myself agnostic. She couldn’t attend church because we lived 40 minutes away from the chapel and it was a huge burden to carry 3 kids to church by herself (our 3rd child was born in 2018). On February 1, 2024 one of my best friends took his life. I was devastated. I had nothing to lean on. This guy was very strong and we worked out together all the time. He showed no signs of depression or self-harm. If someone that strong could get so low that they’d take their own life, what hope was there for me? I gave my life to Christ that day. I didn’t go back to church until a month later after his funeral. We went to Little Rock on the Saturday of his funeral. We stayed the night and went to a park with the kids to play. A stranger walked up and started talking to us. He asked if I was a member for some reason. I told him I used to be, but struggled to reconcile science and religion. He was a scientist! He studied non-Hodgkin lymphoma at UAMS. He really helped to increase my faith and I started reading scripture again. We went back to church that next week and was baptized about a month and a half later, rejoining The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. I’m preparing to receive the Melchizedek priesthood now, and ultimately to receive my endowment and be sealed to my family. No matter how far you’ve strayed, or how far way you get from God, he is always waiting with his outstretched arms ready to welcome you home.

Someone asked me to look into the videos of... Tyler Robinson… said they noticed there are missing times I looked into what I recorded and it most certainly does. In this specific scene, it appears 1 minute and 16 seconds is missing. Notice the time stamp skipping ahead. Was at 11:53:17AM Skipped to 11:54:33 Several observations I have: 1. Probably most important.. He clearly pulls out a cell phone from his right pocket. He was calling or texting for at least that long. Who was he on the phone with? 2. Notice the shadows on the steps. They shift about an inch. Very noticeable. My question is, is 1 minute long enough for that shadow to move that far? For the sake of sanity, let’s just say yes. But it also proves the time skip. 3. Why show this? When people see this, it makes them think something was tampered with. It causes doubt. Now, to play devils advocate on my own observations— maybe they skipped the video to save time, to highlight his progression in movement.. fine. But please make that clear.. because these “glitches” are throughout the entire 13 minute presentation… I found them all over. I included the original 13 minute showing of videos unaltered. Now after seeing this, these original videos need to be made to the public.. not on a courtroom screen.show more

🚨New: Garnacho on Manchester United and Chelsea: • Reporter:... Alejandro, you’ve been through Manchester United, Chelsea, and now Aston Villa. How do you reflect on that journey? 🗣️Alejandro Garnacho: I won’t lie, it has been difficult. From my perspective, Manchester United gave up on me too early. Leaving Old Trafford gave me a different kind of motivation because I wanted to prove that they had made a mistake. When Chelsea came for me, I honestly saw it as my answer to United. I wanted to become a top player there, succeed at the highest level, and make people at United look back and think they had let the wrong player go. But football doesn’t always follow the script. Instead, Chelsea became another setback. That’s the reality. Two massive clubs, two opportunities that didn’t end the way I imagined. Now everyone has their opinion. United fans will probably say they were right to let me go. Chelsea fans will probably say I wasn’t good enough. They’re entitled to think that. My job isn’t to argue with them, it’s to prove both of them wrong on the pitch. And despite everything, I don’t regret the path I’ve taken because every setback has taught me something. I also understand the pressure I’m under. If I fail here, people will say the problem was always me. I know this loan could define the next stage of my career. There were people who questioned different parts of my game. Some at United felt I lacked discipline. At Chelsea, I felt there were doubts about my consistency. Whether those opinions were fair or not, this is my chance to show that I can be disciplined, consistent, and deliver every single week. Football gives you second chances, but it rarely gives you a third. That’s why I see Aston Villa differently. This isn’t just another move, it’s my reset button. It’s the perfect place to rebuild my confidence, rebuild my reputation, and remind people why they believed in me in the first place. Working under Unai Emery gives me confidence because he’s a manager who improves players. I believe he can help unlock the best version of me. At the end of the day, I don’t need to win arguments with Manchester United or Chelsea fans. I just need my football to do the talking.show more

I was planning to return him to the shelter... on Monday. It’s hard to admit, but I had reached my limit. His name is Sarge, a 110-pound Pyrenees mix, and for three weeks he had been exhausting to handle. He didn’t destroy things or bark nonstop. He escaped. A six-foot fence didn’t stop him — he dug underneath. A locked gate didn’t matter — he figured out how to open it. Every day while I was at work, he would get out. Animal control kept finding him miles away, worn out, covered in dirt, sometimes limping. I couldn’t keep dealing with the fines or the constant stress. “He doesn’t want to be here,” I told my sister. “He just keeps running.” Saturday changed everything. I was home that morning when, around 10, he started pacing. Whining. Scratching at the door. This time, I let him out — but I followed him. I needed to know where he kept going. He didn’t head toward a park. He didn’t chase anything. He lowered his nose and moved forward with quiet determination, like he had a destination in mind. We walked a long way. Across a highway. Through thick brush that tore at my clothes. Eventually, he stopped at a cemetery. He slipped through a broken section of the fence, and I climbed over after him. I found him in the far corner — the part no one visits anymore. He was lying flat in front of a small, weathered headstone. Completely still. No panting. No restlessness. Just… there. I stepped closer and read the name. It belonged to an elderly man. That’s when it clicked. Why the shelter struggled to place him. Why he kept escaping. He wasn’t running away from me. He was going back to someone. For years, Sarge had been making that same journey. Rain, heat, cold — it didn’t matter. He had somewhere he needed to be. I sat down beside him in the dirt and rested my hand on his tangled fur. He let out a long, quiet sigh and leaned his heavy head against my leg. I’m not taking him back on Monday. Instead, I bought a strong harness and a long lead. If he needs to visit his person, he won’t have to do it alone anymore. We’ll go together. Every Saturday. He’s not trying to escape. He’s just that loyal. If you want to see Sarge now — how he’s doing, how he still makes those quiet Saturday visits — comment “Sarge” and I’ll show you his update.show more

"At first, I thought someone had heartlessly abandoned their... dog outside the grocery store. The real story broke my heart. “Look at him — he’s freezing! You can’t just leave him out here,” I yelled at the security guard, pointing toward a golden retriever tied to the metal railing. The dog was shaking violently in the bitter cold. The wind chill had dropped far below zero. People rushed in and out of the store, heads down, coats pulled tight, acting as if they didn’t notice the trembling animal. I sat in my car with the engine running and the heater blasting, watching him for nearly forty-five minutes. No one came for him. Not a single person stopped. Finally, I couldn’t sit there anymore. I stepped out, untied the anxious dog — his fur stiff with ice — and lifted his heavy, shaking body into the backseat of my car. Anger burned inside me. Who would leave a loyal dog outside during a snowstorm and simply walk away? Once we reached my small apartment, I dried him off with every clean towel I had. I cooked an entire pack of plain hot dogs in a pan, and he ate them eagerly before curling up at the foot of my bed, finally warm and safe. The next morning, I planned to take him to the county shelter and report the situation as animal cruelty. But while drinking coffee and scrolling through a neighborhood app, one post made me stop mid-sip. “PLEASE HELP. My elderly neighbor George’s dog Rocky is missing. George is in the ICU.” My hands trembled as I dialed the number attached to the post. A woman answered, her voice breaking with emotion. She explained that George, a seventy-eight-year-old widower, had collapsed during his evening walk near the pharmacy. He’d suffered a massive heart attack on the icy sidewalk. Paramedics rushed him to the hospital to save his life. They couldn’t take the dog with them in the ambulance. Someone nearby had offered to tie Rocky up somewhere safe and contact animal control. But in the confusion of the storm, that promise never happened. Rocky had simply been left there and forgotten. Instead of driving to the shelter, I went straight to the county hospital—with a very large golden retriever sitting beside me. Getting a sixty-pound dog past security and into the cardiac ward required a little creativity and a lot of quiet pleading. One compassionate head nurse saw the tears in my eyes, sighed softly, and decided not to stop me. I slowly pushed open the door to Room 402. George looked fragile in the hospital bed — his skin pale, tubes connected to machines that beeped softly beside him. His eyes were closed, his breathing shallow. Rocky let out a soft, desperate whine and gently placed his front paws on the edge of the bed. George’s eyes flew open. He didn’t notice the machines or the wires. Instead, he reached out with trembling hands and buried them deep in Rocky’s fur. Pressing his face into the dog’s neck, he began to cry — deep, emotional sobs that made the heart monitor spike. “I thought I lost you, boy,” he whispered through tears. “I thought I was going to die alone.” His wife had passed away five years earlier. His children lived several states away, busy with their own lives. Rocky was the one companion who gave George a reason to get out of bed every morning. Without him, George was just another elderly man fading quietly in a world moving too fast to notice. I stayed with them for hours, holding George’s fragile hand while Rocky slept peacefully across his feet. Four days later, George was finally discharged from the hospital. No family came to pick him up. So I took the day off from work and drove him home myself. These days, I don’t just rush past my neighbors anymore. Every Sunday, I stop by George’s little house with a bag of groceries. We sit on his porch, drink cheap coffee, and throw a tennis ball across the yard for Rocky while we talk about anything and everything. If you want to see how brightly Rocky’s tail wags now and how happy George is every time he sees himshow more
