Cooper and Murphy, both Hound mixes, ages four and five, have been kenneled side by side for three years - touching noses through the bars every single day, playing during yard time, sleeping pressed against the shared wall. Staff call them "the brothers." This morning, a family looking for a running companion chose Cooper. As his new family walked him toward the exit, Cooper suddenly stopped at Murphy's kennel, pulled toward the bars, and pressed his nose through. Murphy pressed right back. They stayed nose to nose for almost a minute before Cooper's family gently tugged him along - Cooper kept turning back to look. "After Cooper left, Murphy stopped eating. Won't play. Just lies at the front of his kennel staring at the hallway," staff told us. "He's waiting for Cooper to come back." We're hoping someone adopts Murphy soon, so he can learn that endings sometimes lead to new beginnings. Right now, he just knows his brother left without him.

🚨 NOW: President Trump infuriates the left by confirming another historical statue has been cleaned and waxed in Washington DC Democrats HATE NICE THINGS! “The statue of Baron Friedrich Wilhelm von Steuben in Lafayette Park was cleaned and waxed by the National Park Service. Dedicated in 1910 in a ceremony attended by President William Howard Taft, the 10-foot-tall bronze statue atop a 15-foot granite pedestal depicts von Steuben inspecting American troops at Valley Forge in 1778 during the American Revolution. Drawing on his experience as a Prussian army officer and former aide-de-camp to Frederick the Great, von Steuben brought discipline, organization, and professionalism to the Continental Army. His 1779 training manual, known as the "Blue Book," became the Army's first standardized training manual. Later in the war, he contributed to the Southern Campaign and commanded one of George Washington's divisions during the Siege of Yorktown.”

Meghan Markle and Kids Will Join Prince Harry in the UK After All In a heartwarming family update, Meghan Markle has decided to bring Archie (7) and Lilibet (5) to the UK to join Prince Harry for a private visit. The trip may include a meaningful stop at Princess Diana’s burial site at Althorp Estate, with hopes the children could meet King Charles III amid his cancer battle. No public appearances are planned, and Meghan will not attend Harry’s Invictus Games event. Harry was focused on safely reuniting with his family despite earlier security and accommodation challenges (Video: AI). Harry is constantly surrounded by this intense level of global fame and media spotlight. How much of it do you think truly comes from his dynamic with Meghan?

CIRCUS MAXIMUS Circus Ringmaster brags he's called a summit with Putin in Hungary. Orban appoints a committee to organize everything. Then Ringmaster cancels it - "doesn't feel right" because he will never get a sham "ceasefire". And he has less than nothing to offer Moscow. Look who's by his side: stale herring Tutti-Frutti al Rutti. Nothing has changed. Well, a bit. It's NATO/Circus Ringmaster's war. And there's NO way Circus Maximus can manage NATOstan's strategic defeat.

Steven Kampfer has announced his retirement from professional hockey after nine seasons in the NHL. Steven was drafted by the Anaheim Ducks in the fourth round of the 2007 NHL Entry Draft after his freshman season at the University of Michigan, and would play all four seasons for his hometown school, winning national championships in 2008 and 2010. The defenseman joined the NHLBruins via trade in March 2010, and made his NHL debut the following season on December 12, 2010. Two months later, on February 12, 2011, he scored his first NHL goal, putting a second-period shot past Tampa Bay’s Dan Ellis. Steven appeared in 38 games for Boston during the 2010-11 campaign as he and the Bruins went on to hoist Lord Stanley’s Cup on June 15, 2011. Steven played 113 regular-season games for Boston before joining the Minnesota Wild ahead of the 2012 trade deadline. He remained with the Wild franchise until 2014, signing with the New York Rangers in July before ultimately joining the Florida Panthers for the 2014-15 season. After his time in Florida and a return to New York, Steven rejoined the Bruins from 2018-21. His final professional seasons were split between the KHL and AHL, and wrapped up with Chelyabinsk this past season. Steven finishes his NHL career with 231 regular-season games played, registering 15 goals and 39 points. Internationally, Steven proudly represented his country as an alternate captain for Team USA at the 2022 Olympics. Congratulations, Steven, on a great career, and welcome to the NHL Alumni Association! P.s. - enjoy a special message from a former teammate and now fellow Alumni!

INSTAGRAM | 250504 SUNGHOON’s former figure skating coach from his time as an athlete attended the BLOOD SAGA IN SEOUL concert and shared a post about #SUNGHOON ‘I attended ENHYPEN’s concert after being invited by Sunghoonie. I had coached Sunghoonie for five years during his time as a figure skating athlete. Back then, he was very shy and introverted, but in sports he was extremely hardworking, a quiet yet relentless “tough” worker. When I asked him during his time balancing figure skating and idol trainee life whether it was difficult, he would always say he was so happy he didn’t even feel the hardship. That teenage boy has now grown into a remarkable idol and singer who tours the world. His once-introverted personality seems to have disappeared, as he now captivates audiences and communicates with fans so naturally, making me think about how much effort he must have put in over the years. It surely was not easy given his personality, but rather than feeling proud or simply impressed, I found him admirable, remarkable, and truly worthy of respect. (His strong, determined mindset from his athletic days must have definitely helped him during his trainee period.) One important lesson I felt today is that people can change as much as they want when they are doing what they love, and they can grow in any direction. Just like Sunghoon of ENHYPEN.’ #EN_WORLDTOUR_BLOODSAGA #BLOODSAGA_IN_SEOUL

Shedeur Sanders isn’t running a 40 at the #NFLCombine —so as a former NFL Scout, I did the next best thing —I timed him running 40 yards during a game two years ago to see how fast he is. I got 5.37 seconds. I timed him with a stopwatch from his first step at the 50 until he reached the 10. What time did you get? I had to go back two years because Sanders only has one run in his 4 year college career over 40 yards on his ESPN stats page —and it was in this game when he played for FCS Jackson State vs. Southern in 2022. The record for the slowest time at the NFL Combine for a quarterback according to the USA Today is 5.37 by Ryan Mallet.

a point i’ll never get tired of mentioning is how healthy chan’s masculinity is. he is strong but he never uses his strength to hurt but only to protect. there’s so much warmth and security that he carries into everything he does and it’s truly felt by everyone around him. the only time he gets genuinely aggressive is when he’s protecting or standing up for someone he loves and it only makes him so much more strong and mature. even in boxing, a sport that’s by it’s definition so aggressive, stereotypically masculine and rough, he manages to show his gentler and more grounded and protective side. even for a competitive person that chan is, someone who loves sports and loves winning, his priority still is making sure his loved one isn’t hurt. oh i always think that i couldn’t love this man more and then i do.

$👑 Prince Harry’s Buckingham Palace Stay Snubbed at the Last Minute — Drama Continues — (Video: AI) Another twist in the royal rift: Prince Harry’s invite to stay at Buckingham Palace during his UK visit for the Invictus Games was reportedly withdrawn at the last moment — even after he formally accepted it. His team explained: “Once those arrangements were in place, [Harry] was able to formally accept the offer… It is therefore disappointing that the offer has now been withdrawn at the last moment… unclear why, having formally accepted the accommodation offer, it has now been withdrawn at the last moment.” The Palace says he responded too late for arrangements to be made. Harry arrived in the UK on Monday and is in London for a five-day trip of charity engagements. With ongoing security disputes keeping Meghan and the kids stateside, this latest bump highlights just how fractured things remain. He’s pushing forward with events anyway. You think this is a simple scheduling mix-up, or are deeper family tensions playing out?$

After a long time, the long-lost cat suddenly returned home one day… but this time she wasn’t alone. She had given birth and appeared in front of the door with her kittens. The homeowner, upon seeing the scene, couldn’t hide his shock and for a moment didn’t know what to do. The kittens, without any shyness at all, started playing with the homeowner. While the mother cat calmly and carefully watched them, the homeowner turned to her and said worriedly: “Be careful, it looks like the kittens might fall… you should also take care of them.” Just look at them 🥹❤️ how cute they are…

What in the world is going on here? Is he telling the kids about “big breasts”? That’s what I heard. He's strutting around like a rowdy drunk looking for a fight after last call. Oh so very royal! There has got to be something seriously wrong with him. From People Mag: Prince Harry used the second day of outings on Sept. 18 to launch a new initiative called INSPIRE, which will take resources inspired by the Invictus Games into classrooms around the U.K. over the coming year. It has been developed in conjunction with educators and learning authorities in the region around the English Midlands city. During the classroom portion of his visit, Prince Harry sat in on a Year 9 STEM lesson. Students were tasked with designing prosthetic limbs, and Harry moved around the room giving them feedback, encouraging them to think about adding their school branding to the designs.

Went to my second ever broadway show the other week and it was a one-man performance by Daniel Radcliffe aka Harry Potter. He spends the 20 minutes before every show handing out props and recruiting people to interact with him during the show. Never seen someone so dialled in. Was an amazing performance, 1.5 hours straight, no intermission. He does this night after night. Did some math with Claude and he probably makes $50K per week which is great $$ but still considerably less than what he would make for a movie role. His parents also helped him invest his Harry Potter earnings well and he makes $660K/month just off investments (UK companies are required to make full financial disclosures, very different from the US but very useful for this kind of pocket watching). Which means he never has to work again he just continues to do this for the love of the game. These kinds of in-person experiences and acts of passion are one of the few things that can’t be replaced by AI Oh also he does not like it when you call him Harry or bring up his old movies. Ask me how I know.

🚨 The official TheDemocrats 𝕏 account posted today: “Texas: James Talarico is the only candidate who will put you first.” Yet during his time in the Texas state legislature, Talarico missed 842 votes according to official records. How does missing hundreds of votes put Texans first? How does that show he’s serious? Accountability and showing up should matter for anyone seeking higher office. Talarico refusing to play by the rules is disqualifying. Should voters hold candidates to at least the minimum standard of actually being present to vote? (Video: AI)

❗️🇷🇺 After a meeting with Putin, Russian oligarchs transferred 220 billion rubles as “donations” for the war. This amount is almost 130 times higher than the planned revenue from such contributions for the entire year (1.7 billion rubles). The reason for these “voluntary contributions” was a closed-door meeting held by Putin with oligarchs on March 26, during which he announced his intention to continue the war against Ukraine and called on business to support it. This is a striking example of how the Kremlin extracts financial resources from big business to sustain the war effort. The scale of the “donations” shows the level of control Putin exerts over the oligarchs and the extent to which the Russian economy is being mobilized for military purposes.

How J.K. Rowling Kept a Ukrainian Alive Through Years of Russian Captivity Sasha Ivanov, a Ukrainian soldier, spent five years in Russian captivity—starting before Russia’s full-scale war. When men from his cell started returning home, it turned out they had all listened to Harry Potter through Sasha’s retelling—and now they know every book too. From memory, he kept retelling the whole saga—over and over. Meanwhile, Sasha’s friends showed up at every prisoner exchange with wands, toy owls, and other Harry Potter gear, hoping he would be among the released. Time after time, he did not appear. He was still in a Russian prison, reciting Harry Potter. At last, their dream is true: He is back in Ukraine—and free. And JK Rowling’s stories written in an Edinburgh café kept him going in darkest Russian dungeons through the bleakest time. ‘Happiness can be found even in the darkest of times, if one only remembers to turn on the light.’ Art by #NEIVANMADE with Cultural Forces International
