She volunteered. First Lieutenant Ashley White graduated from Kent State University and accepted her commission as a Medical Service Corps Officer in the United States Army. She loved the camaraderie. She loved belonging to something bigger than herself. That is what her mother remembered most. In 2010, the Army... created Cultural Support Teams to work alongside Special Operations units in Afghanistan. At the time, women were officially banned from combat roles. But they could be attached in support positions. Ashley raised her hand. She joined the 230th Brigade Support Battalion and volunteered for a Cultural Support Team attached to a Joint Special Operations Task Force. She became part of the first group of women to enter combat under that mission. These teams were tasked with engaging local Afghan women and families, building trust where male soldiers could not. It was dangerous work. In October 2011, while supporting an assault force in Afghanistan, an improvised explsive device detonated. Ashley was klled in action. She was 24 years old. She became the first member of a Cultural Support Team to d** in combat. Her loss carried weight beyond her unit. It exposed the reality that women were already serving in direct combat conditions, even before policv officially changed. Ashley was k*lled in action. She was 24 years old. She became the first member of a Cultural Support Team to d** in combat. Her loss carried weight beyond her unit. It exposed the reality that women were already serving in direct combat conditions, even before policy officially changed. She was posthumously awarded the Bronze Star, the Purple Heart, the Meritorious Service Medal, the Afghanistan Campaign Medal, and the Combat Action Badge. But medals do not tell the full story. They do not capture the quiet courage of volunteering when you did not have to. They do not show the humility her mother described. They do not measure the cost of leading where no woman had officially been allowed before. Ashley White stepped forward when history was still catching up. She believed in service. She gave everything. 🙏show more

She was 19, riding in a convoy through Iraq, when one hidden explosion ended her life instantly forever. Carrie French was only 19 years old when she stepped into a war that demanded more than most people ever experience in a lifetime. She served with the 145th Support Battalion of the Idaho National Guard during Operation Iraqi Freedom, deployed to Kirkuk, Iraq, where every mission carried unseen danger. Her role was part of a support convoy—missions that often appeared routine but were never truly safe. In Iraq, even the simplest movement on the road required discipline, trust, and constant awareness. Threats were not always visible. Sometimes they were buried beneath the ground, waiting silently. On June 5, 2005, her convoy moved forward like so many before it. The day carried no warning, no sign of what was about to happen. Then, in an instant, an improvised explosive device detonated beneath or near the convoy. The explosion was sudden and overwhelming, leaving no time for reaction. Carrie French was killed in the line of duty. She was 19 years old—old enough to serve her country, old enough to wear the uniform, yet far too young to have her life end in a single moment of violence. After her death, she was posthumously promoted to corporal, a recognition of her service and commitment. Today, her name remains one among many in a war defined by unseen danger and sudden loss. Most people will never know her story, but for those who understand the cost of service, Carrie French represents a generation of young soldiers who stepped forward willingly—and never returned home.

in the wise words of taylor swift, “a man is allowed to react, a woman can only overreact.” they cut the camera to her while she was still in shock & she took a sip of her drink. that is not even a reaction. this whole situation has blown out of proportion throughout the media. you’d think things would’ve gotten better for women in the past five years since she said this, but that’s not the case. this has made one thing abundantly clear, women are not allowed to react when they are blatantly disrespected. even if they don’t react, they’re still overreacting, since there is this perpetuating stereotype that women are “dramatic & emotional.” she’s just sitting there trying to enjoy her night that she was attending because of HER accomplishments & the records she broke with her movie about her life-changing, record-smashing tour. yet, she was only mentioned once, only ten minutes in, to be devalued to her relationship & to poke fun at the ways the media has been tormenting her for years. you can not tell me that is funny. she’s been through hell throughout her career, she’s heard these jokes a million times—she’s over it. she shouldn’t have to laugh at a joke that offended her to appease anyone. personally, i’m extremely proud of her for not feeling it was necessary to be a people pleaser & laugh, which is what she typically would’ve done int the past. that shows growth, that shows that she finally recognizes her worth. she finally realized that she doesn’t have to put up being painfully disrespected. she’s allowed to think a rude joke isn’t funny, it just made her uncomfortable. if she looks uncomfortable, it means he crossed the line, regardless of if you think it was funny or not. it’s evident that this was an under reaction. she kept her composure & responded to the situation perfectly. however, even though she responded perfectly, she’s still getting tremendous amounts of hate for this. this makes it abundantly clear that men in this society will always have it out for women who are successful—especially when that success was created all on their own, since women are not allowed to be successful in their eyes. that is blatant misogyny, just like the joke they think she is a horrible person for not laughing at. of course they think the joke was funny, they’re a bunch of misogynists themselves.

I genuinely cannot understand how someone can watch this story and still stand there, looking at two women, and somehow decide that the wrong one is the victim. On one side, you have a girl (Yıldız) who has been mistreated her entire life. Since the moment she was born, she was treated like a sacrifice for a conflict she was never even part of and later we find out that this conflict never even existed. Her right to study was taken from her. She was pushed into a marriage at a very young age just imagine being six, seven, eight years old, living in fear of being tied to someone you don’t even know. She was treated like a servant in her own home, by the very people she thought were her family. And just when she gets close to the happiness she dreamed of, the man she was engaged to shows up with another wife. She gets mistreated by that wife, by his family, and even (unintentionally) by him, because he was trying to run away from his own feelings, and that only caused her more heartbreak. The whole world was literally against her. She fought through all of that, only to find out in the end that everything she suffered for was based on something that wasn’t even real. Her entire life was built on a lie. That she isn’t even part of that family that she has literally no one in this world. Now on the other side… You have a girl (Melek) who, yes, was taken from her biological mother but she was raised by loving parents. She had everything anyone could wish for: education, freedom, a happy childhood, a healthy environment. She lived her life, fell in love, went out, made choices and no one questioned her, no one controlled her. And then what did she do? She found out that her man was engaged to another woman before marrying her (and even saw him marry her) and instead of holding on to her dignity, she chose to stay, to fight for a man who lied to her, to hold onto a marriage he tried to end multiple times. She used her unborn child to keep him tied to her. She lied constantly, and her excuse was that she was “protecting her marriage” a marriage that was already broken from the moment Serhat removed that ring at the airport in episode one. She tried to hand Yıldız (a woman who had already suffered enough) over to dangerous people. Then she found out the truth about her own birth (that her father ra*ped her mother.)And still no empathy. No moment of humanity toward her own mother. All she cared about was herself. And even though none of this had anything to do with Yıldız, she still found a way to blame it on her. Instead of holding her father accountable, she went and made a deal with him to get rid of Yıldız. She literally made a deal with the devil just to hurt Yıldız one more time. And after all of that… you want me to feel sorry for her? You want me to call her a victim? I honestly cannot believe we are living on the same planet with people who see this and still say, “she’s the victim.” Not morally. Not logically. Not emotionally. There is no world where this makes sense. It’s like watching someone clearly cause harm, and still calling them the victim and actually BELIEVING it. #HalefKöklerinÇağrısı

For ⭕️Faerie ❤️ Calling her an artist barely covers it. She did not simply make art. She made environments. Light, fabric, color, movement, paintings, installations, canopies, flags. She created entire worlds that people could enter, stand beneath, and experience. Then she came to X and did the same thing with words. She was a Jew and a lioness. She fought antisemitism and stood unapologetically for Israel and the Jewish people. She spoke for people whose voices were being crushed. She carried stories others ignored and demanded that the world pay attention. She was fierce without surrendering her tenderness. There were Shabbat candles. Torah. Humor. Nature. Warmth. Beauty. A wish for peace sent across the world from her paradise island in Thailand. She once wrote that she spent her working days “fighting my heart out here.” She did. Heart first. All of it. That is what made her special. She did not separate the artist from the fighter, the Jew from the lioness, or the lioness from the beautiful soul. They were all the same woman. One of her final gifts to us was a Shabbat blessing, wishing her friends peace and the company of those they loved. May that peace surround her now. May the light she created continue to find us in the dark. May her courage remain in everyone she strengthened. May her memory be a blessing. זכרונה לברכה The Jewish people have lost a lioness. The world has lost a genuine artist and a beautiful soul. And many of us have lost a friend.

For most orphans, it can take a while to play – and when they do, we know they've turned a corner in their recovery. Lemeki surprised us all, charging around from the minute she exited the rescue helicopter! Even the guineafowl couldn't escape her playful antics. This flock became her best friend and the feeling was mutual. When she changed stables, they relocated and came to roost on her roof! Her start was extraordinary: rescued as a week-old newborn in 2018 after she was spotted in the floodwaters of the Mara River. Today she is eight years old and one of the lead females of our Voi herd, edging closer to a wild life of her own. Discover Lemeki's story, an orphan who has the honour being the first orphan ever raised at our Kaluku Neonate Unit:

She Lived to 117. Scientists Studied Her for Months. Her Secret Cost $2. Maria Branyas Morera ate three yogurts a day. Every single day, for as long as anyone could remember. She mentioned this to anyone who asked about her longevity, which was often, and it was the kind of advice people receive with a warm smile and then immediately discard, because we prefer our longevity secrets to involve something more exotic than a supermarket dairy aisle. Maria died in Barcelona in 2024. She was 117. Then scientists actually looked inside her, and the smiling stopped. Her gut was packed with Bifidobacterium, a bacterium almost never found in people past 110, and far more commonly associated with infants. Her body had, in the most literal biological sense, not been informed of her actual age. It was operating on entirely different assumptions. Her DNA suggested she was somewhere between 100 and 110. She was 117. Seven years younger on the inside than the calendar insisted, which at 117 is not a rounding error. That is a extraordinary number. But to appreciate why any of this matters, you need to understand what kind of person we are talking about. Maria was born in San Francisco in 1907, the year before the Model T Ford, when Theodore Roosevelt was still in the White House and most of humanity died of things we now treat with a Tuesday afternoon at the pharmacy. Her Catalan father had come to America to make something of himself, and for a while it worked beautifully. He founded a Spanish-language magazine in New Orleans, one of the most chaotic, beautiful, swampy, and gastronomically unhinged cities on the continent, a place that has always operated on the reasonable philosophy that life is uncertain and the gumbo is excellent. Then the family got on a boat back to Spain. Maria fell on deck and permanently lost the hearing in one ear. Her father died of tuberculosis before the coast of Catalonia came into view. He was 37. She was eight. Her mother arrived in Europe with five children, no husband, and presumably very little appetite for what came next. Maria managed. She nursed soldiers in the Spanish Civil War. She outlived Franco, which required considerable patience. She raised three children. She played piano until she was 108. At 113 she caught COVID-19 and dispatched it, which at that point resembles less a medical event than a statement of intent. Then she joined Twitter. Her bio read: “I am old, very old, but not an idiot.” Her last request, before she died peacefully in her sleep, was three words: “Please study me.” The geneticists obliged with considerable enthusiasm, and their subsequent paper in Cell Reports Medicine runs to forty pages of scientists explaining, in the careful and hedged language that science requires, that this woman was remarkable in ways they had not previously encountered and were not entirely sure how to explain. The yogurt, it turns out, had been doing quiet and serious work for over a century. Nomadic peoples of Central Asia were fermenting milk 8,000 years ago, long before germ theory, before microscopes, before anyone had the faintest idea what a bacterium was. They didn’t need to understand it. Their guts understood it. The knowledge was older than writing. Maria understood it too. She didn’t publish a paper. She didn’t launch a wellness brand. She just ate her yogurt every morning and got on with the extraordinary business of being alive. Gandalv / Gandalv ✦ AI-generated image. Not the actual person. Full story:

🚨ALL UKRAINIANS IN OCCUPIED TERRITORIES — FROM DONBAS TO CRIMEA — ARE WAITING FOR THEIR ARMY TO RETURN AND SAVE THEM. YOU CAN ONLY IMAGINE HOW HEARTBREAKING IT IS FOR THEM TO HEAR PROPOSALS ABOUT CEDING THEIR TERRITORIES TO RUSSIA Russians have sentenced a 70-year-old woman from the temporarily occupied city of Tokmak in Zaporizhzhia Oblast to 15 years in prison on treason charges. The woman’s name was not disclosed, but she was accused of donating part of the pension she continued to receive from Ukraine to support the Ukrainian army. Although she was forced to obtain a russian passport in December 2023, she did not renounce her Ukrainian citizenship. From January to November 2024, she transferred 63,420 rubles (about 35,725 hryvnias / $826) in 24 payments through a Ukrainian banking app to support the army. The case was published on the website of the Zaporizhzhia Regional Court under russian occupation as a show trial meant to intimidate others. This is her o the video 👇

The exact moment Princess Diana knew they were going to k!ll her is often described through the haunting fear she carried in her final years. She had already sensed that something dark was unfolding behind the glamour of royal life... her phones were allegedly tapped, her letters spoke of plots, and she told close friends she felt she was being watched. During a tense period after her divorce, Diana even wrote a note saying her car might be tampered with, predicting a crash that would look like an “accident.” On that fateful night in Paris, as the paparazzi swarmed and the car sped through the tunnel, many believe she realized her worst fears were coming true. It wasn’t just a moment of danger... it was the chilling fulfillment of what she had long anticipated: that her truth, independence, and refusal to stay silent had made her too powerful for the establishment to control.

The story goes that when Paolina Bonaparte, sister of Napoleon, was asked whether it had been uncomfortable to pose nearly naked for Antonio Canova, she answered with a line that has been repeated ever since: "All veils may fall before Canova." She had married into one of the great noble families of Rome, the Borghese, in 1803. Two years later, her husband Camillo commissioned the most celebrated sculptor in Europe to portray her in marble. Canova carved her between 1805 and 1808 as Venus Victrix — Venus the Victorious — reclining on a couch, semi-nude, holding the golden apple given to the goddess in the Judgement of Paris, when she was named the most beautiful of all the goddesses of Olympus. It scandalised Rome. Aristocratic women, especially the sister of an emperor, were not portrayed without drapery. The gossip was relentless, and the reply attributed to her became just as famous as the scandal itself... Canova carved her in white marble so finely that the mattress beneath her appears to give under her weight, and the surface of her skin glows in the light as though the stone were alive. She reclines today in the Galleria Borghese in Rome, where she has not moved in nearly two hundred years. "I can't read or write," Canova used to say, holding up his hammer and chisel, "but with these I can create poetry." If you enjoyed this, I write a weekly newsletter read by over 50,000 people who love rediscovering the beauty of the past.

I LOVE this! THIS is what Caitlin Clark was doing in college. She elbowed players. She shoved players. She knocked players down. She taunted players. She provoked players. She humiliated players. Her opponents never responded in college…..until Angel Reese did. THEN Caitlin became a victim. Poor innocent little white girl being taunted by big mean black girl. ———————————————— After that, she went into the WNBA, and started trying the same arrogant tactics, and they knocked the CRAP out of her. You can be a Bully, or you can be a VICTIM, but you can’t be BOTH. In this case, she hit a big shot, and jumped in her opponents face yelling, “YOU LIKE THAT??!” THIS is why opponents were fouling Caitlin so hard during her rookie year. THIS is why it appeared at times that opponents were trying to injure Caitlin. ———————————————— It was not jealousy. It was not her endorsements. It was not because she was white. It was not because she was straight. Nope. It was not ANY of that. She provoked her opponents. They gave her what she was asking for…….and she started crying, and her body fell apart. They are going to start hammering her again, but this time, I don’t want any victim tweets. If you dish it out, in ANY sport, you have to be ready for what comes WITH that! This is no different than a baseball player hitting a homerun, and standing at the plate posing as the ball sails over the wall. Then getting hit in the head with a 102 mph fastball in his next at bat.

How much of a hero is Rimon Kirsht? In Hamas' captivity, she was with her partner. When terrorists came to her yesterday before she was released, she wouldn’t agree to be released without him until they forced her. During the moments they were transferred to the Red Cross, she looked the terrorist in the eye, walked upright, and hugged Merav, who was released by her side. She did not placate Hamas or the Red Cross representative with a fake smile. She marched strong and proud. A true heroine!

SHOCKING: A Woman Tells Her Story Of An Illegal Immigrant Exposing Himself And Harassing Her At A Bus Stop And What Happened After A 24-year-old illegal immigrant exposed himself to a woman at a bus stop on Dewsbury Road in Leeds in broad daylight. She called the police and stood her ground until he was arrested. More girls then came forward, four in total, including one who was underage. He was remanded as a danger to women, sentenced to six months, served three, and is already back out in Leeds. The police would not tell the woman what country he is from or where he is now. When she said she would find out once it went in the press, the officer laughed and told her it probably would not even get published. She was right. Read full details of what happened below ⬇️

Tulsi Gabbard’s latest statements should not come as a surprise. Before she was appointed she was asked many times about her relationships with Russia and Syria, and she did not provide any answers. At the time, my question to her was - whether she had any concerns that, because of her statements, U.S. allies might hesitate to share intelligence with the United States. It didn’t seem to bother her. The video with my question is attached 👇 I do wonder whether it has had an impact these days - especially in light of the latest leaks involving Witkoff’s conversations, which may prove the point.

Just a reminder: while in office, Mendel physically confronted and harassed journalists (video attached). She did not hold the position for long, but during that time she was involved in multiple cringe-worthy scandals and controversial statements. Some of my colleagues in D.C. have been texting me for a while asking what happened to her. The answer is simple: nothing happened to her — she was always like this. Inside Ukraine, she was never taken very seriously. Somehow, though, she managed to build credibility abroad, especially in the U.S., and gained a large following on Twitter. Zelenskyy’s team was very different when he first took office compared to what it is today. But even back then, they quickly realized hiring her was a mistake, and she was let go. The only real difference now may be that she is acting openly as a Russian asset. Or perhaps she is simply trying to use this scandal to gain legal status in the U.S. as someone claiming political persecution.

NEW: 80-year-old ‘nun’ caught on camera wheeling the dead body of her sister nun in Santiago, Chile. The body was later found by someone walking by and the police initially thought the death was an execution carried out by the drug cartel. After they investigated further, they found out that the corpse was a 58-year-old ‘nun’ who died a year before due to natural causes. The two women made an agreement before she died that they would "take care of each other" after death. The dead woman was in a case for the entire year out of "affection and loyalty" according to authorities. After the alive nun's daughter visited however, she was convinced to officially lay her to rest. Police later found out that the women weren't a part of a formal religious order but were "consecrated laywomen." The 80-year-old was not arrested.

Here is Noelia Castillo Ramos with her father only a few years back. Smiling. Happy. Loved. The government in Spain betrayed her 3 times. First, when they took her by force from her parents and put her in a government center. Over “financial troubles.” Second, when they allegedly allowed dangerous illegals into the country and did nothing to prevent it or stop them while they gang r*per her. Third, when they convinced her euthanasia was the best option and made her feel like there was no turning back. Even convincing her and her family that her organs were already compromised after the decision was made. We don't know if that part is really true, but it is difficult to believe or understand since she has been living for years after the injury she sustained jumping from the 5th story of the government center. It is difficult to think about, but she is likely taking her last breaths as I type this. Still praying for a miracle, but unfortunately, we are at the scheduled time. They planned to start the process 39 minutes ago, meaning she is already potentially in an induced coma, as the toxins that are designed to stop her from breathing begin to be administered. She should be alive and well right now and maybe even starting a family of her own. Instead, she is in a hospital all alone for what is scheduled to be the last moments of her life. Regardless of what happens, please pray for her.

TRENDING: “Who is your dad, how did you get this Job?” — Zenith Bank allegedly asked a Tiktoker, before firing her for filming office VLOG. GRWM Becca was first queried in 2022 after joking about a whopping ₦10,000 salary increment, a joke that, according to her, management did not “get”. She was summoned before the Disciplinary Committee at the Head Office, where she was asked who her parents were and how she got the job. She told the that her father is a pastor and that she got the job by applying like everyone else. As a new employee and first-time offender, she appealed to this, and was subsequently pardoned. Months later, the company substantially increased salaries, which Becca believes happened, at least in part, because of the attention her video brought to the issue. As her social media following grew between 2024 and 2025, she received more warnings from management over the extensive workplace exposure in her videos. Becca initially didn’t understand the concern because she believed she was doing what everyone else was doing , dance. However, she eventually understood the company’s position and toned it down. In April, she posted a full office vlog, which immediately earned her another query and a fresh summons before the Disciplinary Committee. This time, a full panel. She was formally accused of inappropriately exposing the workplace in her content. She finally got the message, took down all the videos, stopped posting content about or showing the workplace, adhered to the guidelines, and limited her GRWM videos to her bedroom. Yet, on Thursday, July 23, 2026, she filmed her final GRWM. Upon arriving at work, her Branch Manager calmly broke the news: she had been asked to tender her resignation, effective immediately. Becca paused to catch her breath, then made her way downstairs to type what would become her final words; a quiet farewell to a career, a team, cherished friends, and a life she had built over the better part of half a decade. Fans are comparing Becca’s dismissal for content in Zenith Bank, with Tega who was apparently promoted for content at FCMB. However, many argue that, Tega did not show the bank’s vault in her videos.

That is where she met the accused.” “About two years ago, we began noticing changes in her behaviour. She had become withdrawn. She also started keeping roza regularly. That is when the family felt something was not right.” “We asked her to take leave from work and brought her to her aunt’s home in Ahilyanagar. She stayed there for 21 days. During that time, we kept speaking to her, trying to make her feel safe enough to open up.” “Eventually, she told us what had been happening and agreed to give her statement.” “She said that two people at her workplace were blackmailing her. Both were her seniors.” “She told us they were threatening her, saying that if she spoke to anyone, they would release her videos on social media and send them to her family.”
