I’ve never shared the full inside baseball on the inside fastball that broke my jaw April 5, 2008 at Ole Miss, we were facing projected 1st rounder and future Big Leaguer, Lance Lynn Before it became widespread, Lance had success pitching towards the top of the zone with a fastball that appeared to rise He got me out my first at bat on a high fastball that I should have laid off So my 2nd at bat I told myself to see the ball down in the zone My eyes jumped from his release point to the area I was trying to see the ball down to. I never ended up seeing the pitch until .01 before it hit me If you’ve ever gotten hit in the face, you don’t know what happened at first. So it took me about half a second to realize what happened When I did, I fully expected to spit teeth out and when I leaned over to spit and saw that only blood came out, I assumed I was fine Then I heard the Ole Miss head coach yell “it hit his bat,” because the cracking of my jaw sounded like a foul ball off a mental bat I turned around and yelled “shut the fuck up” at their dugout and proceeded on to first base My trainer came up to me and his first words were “oh fuck,” Knowing that was poor bedside manner, and that I was probably very fucked up, I joked “you’re not supposed to say that,” At that point I knew I was coming out of the game but I was so full of adrenaline that it didn’t hurt and wouldn’t begin to hurt for a couple hours Both the pitcher and coach felt so bad after it happened that both came to apologize to me at the end of the inning while I was beside their dugout being tended to by my trainer and their doctor I actually had to walk to the parking lot through the stadium seats and all the fans looked at me in horror as I had a white bloody rag hanging off my face. It was surreal watching their reactions to my blood We drove over to an Oxford medical center that was clearly not the best location for me to be in, so my coach’s wife drive me up to Nashville to get surgery that night We got swept that weekend and I got my jaw wired shut for the first of 6 weeks I stupidly tried to come back and play the following week. My coaches let me as I was medically cleared to hit with a face mask, but the rest of my season I was a different hitter I was hitting .400 at the time of the fracture, 2nd in the SEC, with 2 months left in the season I finished the year hitting .312. Meaning I flipped from one of the best hitters in the conference to one of the worst before and after the incident Despite finishing my Vandy career 7th on their all time hit list, this play is what I hear about the most when I return I’ve been lucky that I haven’t had much issues with my jaw thus far post incident, although I did find out that 2 of the nerves of the impacted teeth are dead, and I will likely need to get one of those teeth extracted at some point When they showed me the X Ray it was a clear break. A scary image that could have been WAY worse if it were 3 inches higher, as I likely would not be able to see out of my left eye (and wouldn’t be as handsome as I am) Anyway, to have interesting ideas you must have interesting experiences and this was certainly one

Last night felt unreal. i don’t think it has fully registered with me yet that we got hit by a tornado. firstly i’ll start out by saying troy, me, and the dogs are okay. thank you God. we stayed in the basement laying down under a mattress while we heard crashing and felt the house shaking. after the first wave, we rushed upstairs to my office to grab my streaming computer and put it somewhere safe. never in a million years did i think that in those short couple minutes i would have the weight of my entire ceiling crashing down on my head. it happened so fast and all i could hear was troy screaming my name. it was pitch black. he grabbed my arm and pulled me out of the debris as we ran back downstairs with the dogs. then the second wave came. we could hear more ceiling crashing down from upstairs and water was seeping onto us in the basement. we made the decision to completely evacuate the house and drive to my grandparents house, which was terrifying in its own right. power lines were knocked down in the road and we had no service. i think we’re both kind of in shock. we worked so hard on our home & were very proud of it, but at the end of the day, i’m just grateful to have made it out alive with only a welt on the back of my head. i hope everyone else is doing okay

On 11th August, 2025, I was involved in a ghastly accident on my way from Kumasi to Accra with my friend, an accident that almost took our lives. The accident happened around 4:00 am, just a few minutes’ drive from Nkawkaw. In those moments after the crash, fear took over. Help was not coming, and at a point, I genuinely feared for our lives. I kept thinking the car might catch fire as we were helpless. We both sustained serious injuries: the bone in my thigh got broken, and my friend suffered fractures in both legs. I was admitted at St. Joseph Hospital for 22 days, where I underwent surgery and received all my treatments. After the surgery, the pain was unbearable and i even forgot how to walk. I stayed indoors for a long time, battling both physical pain and depression. There were days and nights I cried endlessly, holding on to hope and praying to get better. I feared our legs might never be the same again. Today, I am grateful to say that we are both doing well. From the depths of my heart, I extend my sincere gratitude to my friends and family, the doctors, surgeons, nurses, and everyone who stood by me during this extremely trying period. Your support, prayers, and encouragement carried me through when I felt weakest.

Healing update! Good news: My amazing surgeon removed the four metal screws that were drilled into my gums & bone to help hold my jaw together today! Bad news: My range of motion is behind schedule (have been dealing with a lot of stress in private for the last few weeks). Next step is getting a medical device to start stretching my jaw and start physical therapy, which I heard will be very painful. Woof! 😖 I’m just grateful. Grateful for the pain. Grateful for the healing. Grateful to be alive. Still on the liquid diet. 🤙🏼

On the Embakasi Gas Plant fire incident, I personally called NEMA several times to ask them two questions. 1. Why there was a gas handling factory operating next to a residential area? 2. How did the company get a permit to operate next to a residential area given the hazards it poses? This was next to my place in Nyayo and let me tell you, I just woke up to realize I escaped death last night but unfortunately my friend Allan didn't. I remember one evening we were watching with him Herman Manyora's daily clips explaining how Ruto will not become President, that night we had a very long conversation with him on the danger that this gas plant posed to the community and eventually I told I'm moving out. You can imagine the last two months I lived in that house, I didn't step into my balcony or even open windows of my house et-al?, I couldn’t handle the smell of the gas anymore mahn. Anybody involved in corruption like this one should just receive a DEATH PENALTY!

✨🎂!!! BIRTHDAY CAT !!!🎂✨ Meow Meow! 4 years ago, while at a low point in my life, I was dragged to my very first furry convention against my will. I was completely out of my element and weirded out by this strange fandom. But I opened up to it, and fell in love with it that night. A few days later, on my Birthday, an amazing friend helped me come up with Astra's first Ref sheet and the Galaxy Gato you know was born! Happy 4th birthday to this feline, and the 29 year old human as well ❤️ Massive thank you to LightOfSolaris 🔜 AWO for helping me film and being an amazing doggo!

By Thursday, we will be announcing Phase IV of the Health Insurance for vulnerable citizens in Kaduna. The figure takes us to over 1, 000 in partnership with KACHMA. I missed being in the office. In the next few weeks, I will state my position politically. I owe the public that. I always state whatever I do through my handles. I was with my father for a few hours and he is fine with me running. As God is my witness, and on behalf of the excellent people Kaduna North, I will be running for office in 2027, if alive. We will still focus on the job we were elected to do, and there are a few leaders, Northern Statesmen and fathers that I have to speak to. My position is peculiar. But I have tried to handle with honour and dignity. My wife and I have decided this is the right course. And my people are with me, on social media and offline. I have never feared an election for a day. But it is the right of anyone to try. Respect that right knowing my record speaks for me. Thank you.

🚨AAKASH CHOPRA BLASTS UMPIRE STEVE BUCKNOR🤯 Aakash Chopra said :🗣️ "The man actually took pleasure in telling me that he gave me out. It was the second Test match in Lahore, 2004. I got an inside edge off Shoaib's ball. My place was hanging in the balance because Saurav was coming back, he had already said Yuvraj Singh is going to open, but my second inning was not done yet, so I could still score runs & save my place. I got an inside edge, and the ball hit the pad. He gave it out. I was distraught. There was no DRS back then. It was a very important knock as I was 100 percent going to get dropped in Rawalpindi if I didn't score. He further added : Then, Steve Bucknor met me at the reception of the hotel. He was standing next to me & telling the receptionist, I gave him out. Why are you so proud of that? There was an inside edge. Now what is this? He was crazy. He was always against India. There was a Test match in Sydney where we actually said, Let's send a pillow to his room because he was sleeping. We should have won that Test match. He didn't give out when Justin Langer was hit on the pad in front of the middle. Just take the pillow if you want to sleep.

🚨 What Really Happened Between Tuchel and Bellingham After the Norway Match? 🗣️ Thomas Tuchel: “We were lucky today. The way we played was sloppy, we did a lot of technical mistakes. It is nothing to do with mentality. We need to play better”. 🗣️ Jude Bellingham: “Tuchel said we didn’t play well? Yea, well, WHATEVER. It’s difficult out there. All the players have put in a very tough shift. My thoughts and appreciation go out to the players who put in a tough shift”. 🗣️ Jude Bellingham on Tuchel’s criticism:“Maybe he doesn’t know what it’s like to play in those conditions against Haaland, Ødegaard, Nusa and Sørloth. That’s not an easy team to play against.”

Can you believe people sleep under such structures? As a journalist, I don’t stay in the same place and I’m constantly on the move. Yesterday, I decided to go spend some time with my family in Jabalia where we had tuna and mayonnaise for dinner. I went to the bathroom and saw the ceiling covered in mosquitoes and the smell of sewage was overwhelming. The living room has a massive column broken in from the neighboring building. Somehow my family is adapting to all of this. Sharing a small bowl of tuna, surrounded by a horrible smell, walls covered in mosquitoes and somehow they still manage to crack jokes and bring me joy. But still, my feeling of helplessness broke me. I couldn’t bring more than some tuna, I can’t fix a sewage system that was completely obliterated, I can’t protect them from the mosquitoes, I can’t rebuild the home. Every night, when it’s my thoughts and the buzzing of drones, I wonder if the house will collapse on my family. On my parents, my sisters, my brothers, our cat and its four kittens. I wonder if the house will get bombed while they’re all inside. I don’t want them to die without me. If they will die, I hope it’s on one of the days that I’m visiting them.

🚨Ben Stokes SPEAKS: Why he Had To Retire From England🚨 Stuart Broad🗣️: "Stokesy, how have you made peace with retiring right now when everyone thought you’d lead us into the 2027 Ashes?" Ben Stokes🗣️: "Honestly Broady, I’ve given so much of my heart and soul to the captaincy role. When I looked ahead, I was constantly asking myself, 'How am I going to survive until 2027?' It reached a point where I wasn't just physically cooked from over-training, but mentally drained. I didn't want to play for England if I wasn't the captain, and at 35, I was completely at peace walking away." Jos Buttler🗣️: "Was there a single moment during the summer where you felt it was time?" Ben Stokes🗣️: "At Lord's, after we won an epic match, I realized I was more excited to go and face the press media than to celebrate with the lads in the dressing room. That’s when it hit me—this isn't me anymore. The joy of playing for England was getting swallowed by external noise and non-stop duty. My wife Claire told me recently that for the first time in years, I'm actually mentally present at home with my kids." Stuart Broad🗣️: "What about the rumors of you and Baz McCullum falling out before he was sacked?" Ben Stokes🗣️: "Total rubbish! Baz and I are great mates. We would have heated, detailed cricket debates in the dressing room, and because people aren't used to seeing two guys disagree and then laugh over a drink five minutes later, the media created this huge narrative. In fact, if I hadn't made my decision to step down, Baz would still be the Test coach today."

I was eleven years old. My mother was taking me to an eye specialist when we were stopped by a patrol of the IRGC at this very spot. A few strands of my hair were visible, and I had grown too tall for my trousers. Again and again she pleaded with them not to take me, explaining that I was tall for my age, that she had just returned from the front lines and had not yet found the time to buy me new clothes. I was frightened, but my mother's fear was far greater than my own. Many years have passed since that afternoon. Yet when I see this place of cruelty and its power holders reduced to dust, I am overcome with emotion and an unexpected, trembling relief. To witness a regime of terror crumbling into ruin feels like learning to walk after long paralysis, like unfurling wings and discovering flight, like water offered at last to one who has wandered for hours through the Sahara. I feel a release, a memory long buried in the body beginning at last to loosen. In this moment, the child I once was seems to breathe again.

The Story of Wesam Mekdad “I am a Palestinian from #Gaza. I fled my homeland in search of safety and the opportunity to work so that I could send money back to my family, who are surviving under the horrors of war. The road was grueling and full of obstacles. First, I went to Egypt, where I waited a full year just to secure a Turkish visa. From Turkey, I attempted to cross into Greece. I failed twice, enduring imprisonment both times. It was only on my third attempt that I finally reached Greek soil. Once there, I was placed in a refugee camp for a year, waiting for a residence permit. But the moment I finally received it, my life was shattered again: I was unjustly imprisoned for four years. My trial was a sham, and it became deeply clear to me that refugees are not treated equally under the law there. Eventually, I was released. Seeking a fresh start, I traveled to Berlin, where I met my wife and we were married. Together, we moved to the Netherlands to apply for asylum. I truly believed that the Netherlands, as a nation built on human rights, would understand our plight. Because I am an innocent man and had absolutely nothing to hide, I was entirely honest with the authorities. I openly told them about my imprisonment in Greece. Tragically, my honesty was weaponized against me. We were shuttled endlessly between different reception centers. During this time, my wife became pregnant. We held onto the hope that the authorities would show compassion for our situation and for our unborn child. Instead, the hammer fell: we received a negative decision. My asylum application was rejected. I was handed a deportation order to Egypt and a two-year entry ban from Europe. My wife’s application was also rejected; she was ordered back to Germany. They told us coldheartedly that even if our child were born on Dutch soil, it would change nothing. The fact that my family in Gaza is trapped in an active war zone seemed to mean absolutely nothing to them. Desperate to prove who we are, I went to the Palestinian Embassy in the Netherlands and obtained official documents confirming my Palestinian nationality and the identity of my family in Gaza. I handed these papers to the authorities. Yet, it feels as though we are screaming into a void. No one is listening. Is this fair? Why is this happening when all I ever wanted was to build a stable, quiet life for myself, my wife, and our daughter? Why am I being condemned for a prison sentence I served unjustly in Greece? I had hoped the Dutch authorities would help me prove my innocence, but instead, they simply wronged me again. Where are human rights? Where are the rights of a child? Where are the rights of a woman? I have lodged an appeal and am now awaiting the judge’s decision. In the meantime, the stress, anxiety, and suffocating uncertainty mount every single day. I am constantly terrified of what tomorrow will bring. I have been stripped of my right to work and my freedom of movement is heavily restricted. Then, the breaking point came. One day, I received devastating news. In a flash of pure despair, unable to contain the agony inside me, I smashed a television and damaged the door. It was inside my own room—not someone else's. I harmed no one. The center staff called the police. They knew my wife was nine months pregnant. When the officers arrived, I told them myself. My wife looked them in the eyes and told them that I would go with them voluntarily and respectfully. I had not used violence against a single soul. I remained calm because I believed I would simply give a statement at the station and return to her. Yet, they treated us as if we were dangerous. They treated a heavily pregnant woman as a threat. This is my story. I feel that my wife, my daughter, my family in Gaza, and I have been deeply, profoundly wronged by the system. But I still believe that eventually, the truth will come to light. Justice cannot remain hidden forever.” Baby Reem born premature (5 days after the attack)

The Story of Wesam Mekdad “I am a Palestinian from #Gaza. I fled my homeland in search of safety and the opportunity to work so that I could send money back to my family, who are surviving under the horrors of war. The road was grueling and full of obstacles. First, I went to Egypt, where I waited a full year just to secure a Turkish visa. From Turkey, I attempted to cross into Greece. I failed twice, enduring imprisonment both times. It was only on my third attempt that I finally reached Greek soil. Once there, I was placed in a refugee camp for a year, waiting for a residence permit. But the moment I finally received it, my life was shattered again: I was unjustly imprisoned for four years. My trial was a sham, and it became deeply clear to me that refugees are not treated equally under the law there. Eventually, I was released. Seeking a fresh start, I traveled to Berlin, where I met my wife and we were married. Together, we moved to the Netherlands to apply for asylum. I truly believed that the Netherlands, as a nation built on human rights, would understand our plight. Because I am an innocent man and had absolutely nothing to hide, I was entirely honest with the authorities. I openly told them about my imprisonment in Greece. Tragically, my honesty was weaponized against me. We were shuttled endlessly between different reception centers. During this time, my wife became pregnant. We held onto the hope that the authorities would show compassion for our situation and for our unborn child. Instead, the hammer fell: we received a negative decision. My asylum application was rejected. I was handed a deportation order to Egypt and a two-year entry ban from Europe. My wife’s application was also rejected; she was ordered back to Germany. They told us coldheartedly that even if our child were born on Dutch soil, it would change nothing. The fact that my family in Gaza is trapped in an active war zone seemed to mean absolutely nothing to them. Desperate to prove who we are, I went to the Palestinian Embassy in the Netherlands and obtained official documents confirming my Palestinian nationality and the identity of my family in Gaza. I handed these papers to the authorities. Yet, it feels as though we are screaming into a void. No one is listening. Is this fair?

Hard to put into words what happened yesterday. I had zero awareness of the car that nearly brushed us on the right. In a fraction of a second it moved us from the middle lane into the left lane. My wife and I were completely speechless. We’re both safe because of that reaction. If we had stayed in the lane, things could have gone very differently. This is the kind of moment that makes you trust the system.

My wifey found him!!!!!! 2 miles into the Forrest! We ran into some campers that saw him and split up into two directions. Wifey actually climbed up to the top of the mountain and found him hiding from wolves and coyotes and bears in like a rock cave. She took a video and saw his eyes glowing and he was keeping quiet which was smart cause of predators I had just buried my little dog after 20 years together and Bruno is only 4 so I feared the worst and wifey kept saying she’ll find him and she did in pitch black dark with just a flashlight after almost 5hrs Sorry for the drama but I had a presentation planned and my 11yr old daughter ran up and told me that one of the smaller kids opened one of the sliding doors and he went exploring but we have some construction going on so he couldn’t get to the park that we normally go to next to my house and he crossed a dark semi busy highway which was a first and ended up 2 miles into a pitch black Forrest How she found him I still don’t know. I had grabbed my tent ready to sleep the night deep in the woods too. But I got lucky, he’s the sweetest animal and my best friend we do everything together everyday and he sleeps in my bed with me every night so I was heart broken until my wife faced time’d me and said look who I found and I bust into tears of joy not gonna lie and said how the F did you find him, and she said his magical glowing eyes and for the first time I laughed and could feel my heart fill with joy Sorry for the long story.

👉OK, so a few days back I saw a photo in my phone, that prior I had not caught the significance of. Frank Turek, was standing in the far left corner of the photo & it looked to me, like he is pointing his phone to film Rick Cutler. -Allegedly. So my friend here, sent me the original video that someone had caught, at some point, & asked me to see what I can do with it. -The first video is the original one that I was sent. -The second item, is a picture of the video that I took. Something to me, looked a lot like a face, & sunglasses. I then saved that image & edited it in my basic phone adjustments, to try to define what I thought I am seeing, as best I could. -Next, is the picture, that gave me the original impression, that Turek was filming Cutler. -And then I edited a video to highlight what I think… I am seeing. -ALLEGEDLY… Thoughts please? Honesty alway’s welcome. Charliesangels47 Candace Owens Baron Coleman Project Constitution Jon Bray Diligent Denizen 🇺🇸

My name is Karina Pritika, and I was training to join the Israeli Olympic gymnastics team when I was murdered by Hamas. I spent my last moments on my knees begging for my life as a Palestinian man reloaded his AK-47 and executed me in cold blood. I died in the October 7th terror attack. Hamas didn't just attack on a Shabbat. They attacked on a Jewish holiday. I am one of about 1,200 people who died that day. The IDF is still on a mission to neutralize the terrorists who were involved. Will you remember me?
