🚨#BREAKING: Outrage is erupting after a Charlotte NC man who was PREVIOUSLY CONVICTED of M*RDER was LET OUT OF JAIL ON BOND by a judge for possessing a weapon... ...AND 84 MINUTES LATER he sh0t 2 men IN THE BACK and K*LLED ONE OF THEM His name is David Simpson and he was sitting in the Mecklenburg County Jail on a warrant for possessing a WEAPON. He posted a $10,000 bond. The doors opened at 12:21 in the morning. At 1:45 AM, 84 minutes later, he sh0t 2 men at the Country Club Apartments on Dunlavin Way. One de*d at the scene. One in the hospital. Investigators say surveillance video shows Simpson walking up BEHIND both men and firing twice. Why? A PARKING SPOT. The victim lived a few doors down and had parked in the spot in front of Simpson's door. That's it. That's the whole reason. In 2013, Simpson was charged with FIRST-DEGREE M*RDER for shooting Richard Bonds during a fight in an uptown parking lot. He pleaded it down to voluntary manslaughter. He served ONLY FIVE YEARS. He was out in 2020. His record and found TEN more notable arrests AFTER that release!!!! I found 9 separate sets of charges in the last 3 years alone. He has literally been charged OVER AND OVER with possession of a firearm by a felon. A man who already k*lled someone. Who is BARRED BY LAW from touching a gun. Who kept getting caught with one anyway. ...AND SOMEHOW A JUDGE SAW ALL OF THIS AND LET A MAN OUT ON BOND???????????? He refused to even come to court Friday morning!!!!!! A judge had to ORDER HIM BACK that afternoon!!! WHY WAS HE LET OUT OF JAIL??????!!!!!!!!!!!!!! WE DO NOT HAVE TO LIVE LIKE THIS!!!!!!!

🚨WOW!!! A car flew OFF a Houston overpass and landed UPSIDE DOWN on the freeway below with three women trapped inside... ...and total strangers grabbed SLEDGEHAMMERS and their BARE HANDS and refused to let them die!! ❤️ It happened on the Southwest Freeway at Beltway 8. Police say the car was speeding down the elevated HOV lane, lost control, smashed through the barrier, went AIRBORNE, and slammed down ROOFTOP-FIRST onto the main lanes below. All three women were trapped and SCREAMING for help ...and Houston did NOT drive past. One of the men who stopped is named Jack Johnson. He didn't even see the car go off. He just saw the barrier crumble and a crushed car sitting in the middle of the road. He said something just told him to stop. He got out, ran toward it, and what he heard he'll never forget: "Get me out. Get me out. Help me! Help me!" Young women, screaming from inside a car folded nearly in half. "And I thought about my little girls," Jack said. Suddenly nearly a dozen total strangers began feverishly trying to rescue the women. One man climbed ON TOP of the car. Someone smelled gas and grabbed fire extinguishers, just in case. Others went at the metal with sledgehammers, poles, and their bare hands until the first responders showed up and those women were free. Everybody took a task. Nobody was in charge. Everybody just... helped. Miraculously...all THREE women survived!!! When it was over, everyone went back to their lives. Jack says he's still hoping to find the other men who stopped, and the three women, just to know they're okay. And when he talked about why they did it, he said this: "Houston comes together. At a time of need, we come together." Three women are going home to their families because a handful of strangers decided a wrecked car full of screaming girls was worth stopping their entire lives for and getting first responders. GOD BLESS Jack Johnson and every single stranger who ran TOWARD that car. THIS IS THE AMERICA I KNOW!!!! 🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸

FT #Spurs 2 - 0 #Doncaster It was mainly a comfortable 1st half Marty’s Tel with a shocking miss early doors and it just never got any better embarrassing misses and losing possession with sloppy passes it was such a poor performance. A beautiful finish with an over head kick by Palhinha playing at CB gave us the lead. A quick second with Danso getting involved as McGrath scored an OG. Ajayi was their best player he created a couple of chances for them in the first half. It needed a top save by Kinsky to stop them clawing a goal back. Gray has done well in the middle as has Simons but Johnson needs to work much harder done nothing but score in the 94th min 🤣 The 2nd half performance really hasn’t been a great one at all but it’s about getting the win and going into the next round. What a great sight seeing Williams Barnett make his debut at 16. For me Palhinha is my MoM #COYS 🤍💙 #CarabaoCup #COYS 🤍💙

This morning I drove into ABC place Waiyaki way as I needed to do some shopping, as I got out of the car I heard someone shout “Baba, Baba” I turned around and a young man straight away came and hugged me. He looked and me said Baba do you remember me, it took me at least two mins but I realised who he was. This goes back some 20 or more years ago when I was a frequent customer or should I say furniture at a place called Tropicana or Gypsy’s in Westlands this boy was a teenager and together with his very very young two siblings would be there selling njugu or asking for handouts. I recall asking him why would they be doing this late past midnight and he said so they could help their mother and also try get money for fees. I did not realise what I did then, but I began helping him with frees for many years and these boys would take care of my car and even of me when I would walk out very late in the night. They had became a part of that area and the security of Gypsy would even allow them to do this extra work as I would tell them these boys aren’t the usual chokoras who will steal. They would watch over customers cars and I would support them. As time passed I grew out of that life and moved on and we never met again, even the place closed down but my nickname as most of my closest childhood friends, the waiters and everyone who I associated with still remained BABA and to date they call me BABA, and why? because I “USED” to be a die hard Raila Odinga supporter 😂😂😂. The boy told me he looked for me for a long time as he always wanted to thank me and finally we met today as he was getting to work , he told me he sent his family back to Kisumu where he helped his little brothers to complete their education and believe it or not today he is a head chef at the Seven Grill & Lounge ABC place. Good people see how hard work, honesty and focus pays. This is my boy Victor and today I am an extremely proud man.

Security footage from the Eastgate Shopping Center in North Carolina shows the unwavering bond between a Soldier and their Service Dog. The veteran walking through the corridor is David. He's 32 years old with 2 deployments. He was diagnosed with PTSD in 2019 and crowds immediately trigger anxiety attacks. The German Shepherd walking beside him is 5 yr old Atlas. David's certified service animal for three years. David told a local news outlet he had driven to the mall to pick up a prescription from the pharmacy near the east entrance. He knew it was a Saturday. He knew it would be crowded. He thought he could manage it. "About halfway down the main corridor I could feel it starting," David explained. "Heart rate going up. Breathing getting shallow. I was scanning every face. It's like my brain just shifts into a different mode and I can't pull it back manually." The security footage shows David walking at a slightly faster pace than normal. His posture tighter. Atlas is right beside him, matching his stride. Then Atlas stops. He sits down directly in David's path. Squarely. Calmly. Like he'd planned it. David takes one more step and nearly stumbles over Atlas. He looks down. Atlas looks up. Direct, steady eye contact. Unwavering. The kind of focus that asks for nothing except full attention in return. David stopped. The crowd parted around them. People kept moving. Nobody stopped. Just two figures standing still in the middle of a busy corridor — a man and his dog looking at each other. David knelt down. Put both hands on either side of Atlas's face. You can hear David talking to Atlas, calming himself by acting like he's calming the dog. He told us: "When Atlas locks eyes with me like that, it forces my whole nervous system to find something to attach to that isn't a threat. He becomes the only thing in the room. And once he's the only thing in the room, I can breathe again." They stayed there for about two minutes. Then Atlas stood up. Resumed walking. Slower this time. And David walked with him. They picked up the prescription. Made it back to the car. David posted the security footage two weeks later with permission slip from the mall. He wanted people to understand what service animals actually do in real time — not in training environments, not in demonstrations, but in the middle of an ordinary Saturday when everything quietly starts to fall apart. "Atlas didn't wait for me to ask for help," David said. "He saw what was coming before I could name it. And he put himself between me and it." Sometimes the bravest thing a guardian does is simply refuse to move. God bless our soldiers and the service dogs who walk beside them...always. 🇺🇸

This morning, I was returning from a condolence visit here in Lagos. A townsman had sadly lost his wife to the cold hands of death. After spending a good part of the day there, I decided to drive straight to my office instead of going back home first as I had originally planned. Lagos life no dey wait for anybody—if you blink twice, hold-up will use your destiny to do rehearsal. Barely ten minutes into the journey, I was flagged down by the Nigerian police. In true Naija fashion, they used the vehicle in front of mine as human shield to stop me—as if we were filming an action movie. I was about to properly park, but the officer immediately started demanding my driver’s license right there in the middle of the expressway. I politely asked him to allow me park first so I wouldn’t cause obstruction, but oga said no. Before I could say “Officer, calm down,” traffic had already started building up like JAMB website during registration season. After plenty back and forth, he finally allowed me to park halfway along the Isheri-Idimu Expressway. I handed him my driver’s license. He checked it and returned it. Next, he asked for my vehicle license. I gave it to him. Then he requested for roadworthiness. I handed that over too. Suddenly, his mood changed like NEPA light during rainy season. He flared up and started shouting that I did not give him all the documents at once. I was confused. I simply gave him exactly what he asked for, one after the other. But apparently, in his own constitution, I was supposed to have read his mind and submitted my entire family tree. He began yelling that I was wasting his time. I asked him calmly, “Officer, how exactly am I wasting your time?” The next statement shocked me: “I will change it for you o! In fact, come and open your boot!” At that point, tempers were rising on both sides. I told him, perhaps with more confidence than wisdom, to go and open it himself. But quickly remembering that what Nigerian Police officers cannot do does not exist, I decided to come down and open it myself before my village people would be accused. He searched my boot like he was looking for the missing budget of the federation. He scattered everything. Then he entered the car, opened compartments, checked under seats—searching for what was not lost. Meanwhile, while he was performing his ministry, I was quietly recording him with my phone. When he finally realized I was videoing him, ah! Ladies and gentlemen, the atmosphere changed immediately. Heaven did not fall, but hell applied for overtime. He insulted me.He called me names.He raised his voice. But trust me, it was aura for aura, egusi for egusi, pepper for pepper, back to sender with express delivery. At the end of the day, the devil searched but found nothing on the son of man. No hidden “something for the boys.” Just an innocent man trying to survive Lagos and reach his office in peace. Eventually, I entered my car and drove off, leaving behind the drama, the dust, and one very disappointed officer whose fishing expedition returned no catch. Moral lessons: First, integrity is expensive, but it saves you from unnecessary fear. When your hands are clean, your confidence becomes your defense. Second, power without courtesy becomes oppression. Uniform should command respect, not fear. Third, wisdom matters. In Nigeria, sometimes you need the patience of Job, the boldness of David, and the prayer life of Elijah just to survive one police checkpoint. And finally, life itself is unpredictable. From attending a condolence visit in the morning to almost acting Season 2 of “Police Wahala” by afternoon, one thing is clear: every day in Lagos deserves its own Nollywood documentary.

Beethoven could not hear the music he wrote. At the age of 28, he realized he was no longer able to listen to a flute being played in the distance, and he spent the rest of his life composing the most enduring music in Western history in almost complete silence... He had been a working musician since childhood. His ears were everything. In 1798, in the middle of a heated argument with a singer, he noticed for the first time that something was wrong. The sound was thinning at the edges. He could hear voices, but high frequencies were beginning to disappear. He told no one for years. By 1802, the truth was no longer deniable. On his doctor's advice he moved to Heiligenstadt, a quiet village outside Vienna, hoping the country air would help. It did not. There, alone and surrounded by farmland, he wrote a letter to his two brothers that he never sent. It was found among his papers after his death. We now call it the Heiligenstadt Testament, and it is one of the most devastating documents ever written by an artist about himself: "You men who think or say that I am malevolent, stubborn or misanthropic, how greatly do you wrong me. You do not know the cause of my seeming so... what a humiliation, when one stood beside me and heard a flute in the distance and I heard nothing, or someone heard the shepherd singing, and again I heard nothing." He wrote, in the same letter, that he had thought of ending his life. And then he wrote the line that explains everything that followed: "Only my art held me back. It seemed impossible to me to leave the world before I had produced everything I felt called upon to produce." He went back to Vienna. He went on composing. Over the next two decades his hearing continued to fade. Friends began writing their words down in small notebooks instead of speaking them aloud, and waiting while he read. Modern scholars call these the conversation books. Around four hundred of them survive. To compose, he developed his own methods. He bit one end of a wooden rod and pressed the other against the soundboard of his piano, letting the vibrations travel through his jaw to his inner ear. He had stumbled, through trial and error, onto the principle that modern science calls bone conduction. The cause of his deafness has never been settled. What we do know is this: he realized he was losing his hearing at twenty-eight, and he could have stopped. He wrote the letter, he held the thought of dying in his hand, and then he put down the pen and went back to work. Most of what he is remembered for was composed after that moment: The Fifth Symphony. The Seventh. The Ninth. The Missa Solemnis. The late quartets. All of it was made by a man who could no longer hear most of what he was writing. There are people who give the world what they receive, and there are people who give the world what they were never able to receive. The most enduring beauty in human history has almost always come from the second kind... -- -- -- If you enjoyed this, I write a weekly newsletter read by over 50,000 people who love rediscovering the beauty of the past. You can join us here: I write about beauty in all its forms. If you'd like to support my work, a paid subscription is what makes it possible.

“The US government has unlocked zero point energy.” AJ Gentile from The Why Files just blew Tucker Carlson’s mind. He revealed that many people have invented free energy tech since the 1930s.

“The US government has unlocked zero point energy.” AJ Gentile from The Why Files just blew Tucker Carlson’s mind. He revealed that many people have invented free energy tech since the 1930s. But a 1951 law classified all of it. And it mandated that this tech can only be sold to the US military.

She was a woman my brother loved and protected with everything he had. On the 20th of December, she got married while heavily pregnant—about eight months along. We didn’t hear this from her directly; we found out on TikTok. When my brother passed away in November, she brought the children to us in January, saying she wanted to pursue her master’s degree and continue her education. At the time, my mother felt sad that she seemed to move on quickly, but I told my mum that life doesn’t stop completely just because someone has passed. However, finding out later that she was already far along in another pregnancy broke my heart deeply. It meant she became pregnant just a few months after my brother’s passing. That realization was very painful for me. What makes it harder is remembering what happened shortly before my brother died. I visited them two days before his passing and was meant to stay for a week. Her car had broken down that day, and my brother took her to work. After work, she called him to come and pick her up. My brother asked her to take a ride instead because he was busy with me at the time. She refused and insisted he must come. At that period, my brother was on leave and had planned to stay home, which was why he invited me over. She continued insisting. When my brother hesitated, she became upset and accused him of causing tension at home. I suggested that I go pick her up since I could drive. My brother even handed me the car keys because he was already getting frustrated. But once she heard that I was coming instead, she insisted that only my brother should come for her. After a long back-and-forth, my brother finally decided to go. On his way, there was a serious accident involving a large vehicle, and my brother lost his life. I didn’t immediately understand the seriousness. She was the one who called me, saying she couldn’t reach him and that people said he had been in an accident. I only realized the reality when I got there. It was devastating. I was angry because the entire situation happened right in front of me. My brother did not want to go out that day, but he went because he was pressured. I understand that death is something no one can control. But moving on so quickly after such a loss feels deeply hurtful. My brother stood by this woman completely. He supported her education, protected her, and never allowed anyone to disrespect her. We all respected her because of him. Seeing how things turned out is painful. It doesn’t feel fair, and it hurts deeply. At first, we didn’t interfere with any property matters. But now, I feel that whatever my brother left behind should be preserved for his two sons, to be accessed when they are adults. None of us wants his property—we are all doing fine—but we want to protect his children’s future. I’m not writing this out of bitterness. I’m writing because I’m hurting. I wish my brother hadn’t gone out that day. I wish things had turned out differently. Life can be very unfair, and this pain is something I’m still trying to understand. ●Miss Favour

VIDEO: DBU student's quick thinking helps stranger in Oak Lawn ... DALLAS - A Dallas Baptist University student's quick thinking may have saved a man's life in Oak Lawn Tuesday night. Emma Dilley tells FOX 4's David Sentendrey she and her friends were driving through Oak Lawn in Dallas Tuesday night when they saw a man lying on the street with a crowd of people around him. The man was lying near the intersection of Lemmon Avenue and Douglas Avenue. She pulled over and saw the man was unconscious and not breathing. "I got on the scene and I checked his pulse, and it was very faint. I actually thought he was dead when I got there, but I re-did the pulse, and it was just a very faint pulse," Dilley said. "A bystander told me that he had been flagged down by this man saying he was having an asthma attack and just collapsed on the ground — and he had his inhaler next to him, so I figured that was the most logical explanation," she explained. Dilley said she's known CPR since she was a high school freshman. Now a freshman at Dallas Baptist University, she said that training was quite useful on Tuesday night. "I figured I needed to put others before myself, and so I just hopped out and did CPR," she told Sentendrey. Cell phone video shows Dilley taking action moments after she hopped out of her car. She performed CPR on the man despite never having performed it on a human before. "I want to go into healthcare, so I figured I’d use it at some point, but definitely didn’t think I’d use it in college," Dilley said. She's a pre-med biology major at DBU who hopes to be a doctor in the NICU one day. The man revived during Dilley's second round of chest compressions. First responders arrived within minutes of Dilley performing CPR and took over medical care. Does Dilley think she saved his life? "I think I did. I tried my best," she told Sentendrey. "But I’m just glad I was there to help and be there for him." Dallas Fire & Rescue did not have an update on the man this evening. He was taken to a local hospital after the incident.

‼️Candace Owens Reveals a TERRIFYING Medical Emergency That HAPPENED to Her Security Team in Russia 👀 In her first episode back, Candace Owens shared that while on her family trip to Russia, one of their American security personnel — a former Special Forces member — collapsed and was rushed to the hospital. Doctors discovered he had a massive blood clot in his brain and needed emergency surgery. She explained that this man had been trying for years to get proper medical care through the VA after surviving a sonar blast with his platoon. He was repeatedly gaslit and told it was probably PTSD. Multiple men from his unit who couldn’t get appointments eventually took their own lives. Despite being in Russia — a country he was trained to see as the enemy — he received immediate care, a CAT scan, and life-saving brain surgery. Candace noted the stark contrast: the same veteran who couldn’t get basic help in America was treated with urgency and respect once he was in a Russian hospital. She didn’t hold back on her anger, pointing out how America seems to have unlimited money for foreign wars and foreign aid, but can’t even give veterans the basic medical care they were promised. This story is heartbreaking and infuriating at the same time. FOLLOW Candace Owens, RT and watch her FULL episode linked below.👇 ⚠️My channel is under attack to try to bankrupt me.

Here’s a very small story about the kind of leader Geoff Duncan is, and has been, from my time working with him my first term. When I served in the state Senate, the first bill I ever filed was hijacked. It passed out of the Senate, through House committee, and made it all the way through House Rules, at which point it was yanked back. (I actually appreciated the House GOP leadership for telling me this so plainly—it saved me a lot of time—but essentially I was told: “We like your policy. We don’t like your name on it. So we’re going to give it to a Republican woman.”) And…I get it. Sometimes that’s how it works in this place. It’s about the work, and the policy, not about getting credit. What we actually do and the people we help is what’s most important. But the thing I remember about this process was meeting with Geoff early in my first term, his encouragement, his telling me how he recognized good work when he saw it. I remember the ways he helped me, in the small, invisible ways it takes, to help this first-year nobody in the minority party to move her first bill. And he didn’t like what ultimately happened to that bill, because he believed—has always believed—in people over politics. The following year, that bill came back to us for a final vote. (Without my name in it, of course.) But he saw it, and remembered it, and did something so kind, and frankly unprecedented. He called me up to the rostrum, gave me the gavel, and allowed me to preside over the passage of my own bill. It was the first bill I ever wrote as a lawmaker, and it was ultimately signed into law the Spring of 2022. (Of note, this was also the first and last time we had two women physicians speaking together from the rostrum of the state Senate. And I know there were no subsequent times, because there are still only two of us.) Is this a huge story? No. Was this the most life-changing thing that ever happened in my time at the state Capitol? No. But that’s actually why it’s important. Because the true mark of leadership, and personal character, is what you do when you don’t *have* to. It’s when you show, rather than tell. It’s when you practice mentorship, true bipartisanship, strength of character, and genuine, human kindness, even when no one else might notice or care. Think for a second if we would ever see this in today’s legislative environment. And ask yourself if we would be better to have more moments, and leaders, like this. Geoff is the kind of leader I want to see leading our state. And I know, with our support, that he can win. And that’s why I’m endorsing him to be the next governor of Georgia.

🧵Difficult Post Many already know but My car was vandalized twice in San Francisco during these Tesla Takedown protests. I've missed work, and now it's becoming difficult to keep up with bills and repairs. I just need to be able to work 😞 Asking for help Long version. What happened? The second vandalism was less expensive but much more scary. A man smeared feces all over the backseat of my vehicle. He was a man dressed as a woman and much larger and stronger than me. I'm only 5'1", but I really don't think it's a good idea for me to argue with someone who's already clearly deranged. The first attack on my Tesla was during a Tesla Takedown event in San Francisco where my windshield was broken. This man targeted my vehicle and had a getaway car. He hit the windshield with something that caused the glass to instantly crack. It was so expensive to have the feces cleaned, but I continue to work with the broken windshield (no choice). I have to work to replace this expensive windshield. Because I am in California, I cannot afford to mark "yes" to the question, "Have you had a loss in the last five years?" It's now time to renew my policy that I cannot renew with a broken windshield because they require pictures. I can’t work without updating my insurance with the vendors. To make things even better, the patients have been refusing my services and making false claims against me just because I have a Tesla. I have been a five-star, top-tier, perfect non-emergency medical transportation driver for two years. I only began receiving these false complaints in the last two months. I understand it's easy to say, "Leave San Francisco," but it's much easier said than done. I have been working in the Bay Area because it allows me to continue to provide for my family in these difficult times. As soon as I save up, I am out! All of the damage, missing work, and piling bills are getting heavy. Why are these people so violent and evil? How does hurting my family hurt Elon? If you are able to help, I greatly appreciate it and thank you so much. If not, I totally understand that these are difficult times for everyone. I'm accepting prayers as well 🙏🏼 Engagement could also help. I'm going to attach my links below just in case this reaches the right person.

Tyrese Gibson Was Handcuffed In A Courtroom For Missing Child Support, The System That Did This To Him Has A Name, And Every Man Needs To Understand It Tyrese Gibson married Samantha Lee in 2017. She filed for divorce in 2020 after three years of marriage, and they had a daughter, Soraya. The court ordered him to pay $10,690 every single month in child support; he refused, not because he did not love his daughter but because he believed the figure was unjust, as the judge was biased, and the system was stacked against him from the moment he walked through the door. In September 2024, he was handcuffed in an open court and removed by a bailiff in front of everyone just because he owed $73,525 in back payments. His attorney appealed immediately and was released without paying a cent; however, the image of a man being walked out of a courtroom in handcuffs had already done its damage. He later posted on Instagram: "Getting arrested wasn't easy. As a matter of fact, it was very traumatic." This is a man who said, "I am a failure. I am not on top because I don't live under the same roof as my daughter, and I wanted to be married for the rest of my life." That is not the statement of a man who stopped caring, but the statement of a man broken by a system that treated his pain as irrelevant and his finances as a resource to be distributed, not a life to be protected. By December 2024, his income had dropped 85%. He was earning roughly $39,000 a month, and the court was demanding $10,690 of it every month, just for child support before taxes, before his own bills, before his own survival. He filed for a reduction, but his ex-wife's legal team filed to dismiss it, citing that he had only paid the full amount three times in over a year. Now here is what nobody is saying loudly enough. When you are born a man, and you walk into a family court, the system does not begin from a neutral position. Tyrese said it himself on Instagram: "When you were born a man, you go into a courtroom and you understand clearly that there is a preset menu that says, you were born a man, f*** you." That is not bitterness. That is a man describing an experience that tens of thousands of fathers live every single year without cameras and without a platform to speak from. The lesson every man with income, ambition, and a future needs to take from Tyrese Gibson's story is not complicated. A prenup is not a lack of love; it is a legal document that says your financial future belongs to you, regardless of what the emotions do. A clear custody agreement signed before conflict begins is not pessimistic; it is architecture and financial independence, assets in structures that cannot be liquidated by a court order, it is not paranoia, it is the only protection a man has when the relationship ends, and the paperwork begins. Tyrese Gibson loved his wife and called losing her the worst outcome, not the financial penalty, and that tells you everything about where men consistently make the most expensive mistake of their lives: they build from love and forget to build from strategy at the same time. Love the woman you choose, build with her fully, but never let love be the only document protecting what you spent your entire life creating, because the courtroom does not care about love. It only reads what is in writing.

He was earning roughly $39,000 a month, and the court was demanding $10,690 of it every month, just for child support before taxes, before his own bills, before his own survival. He filed for a reduction, but his ex-wife's legal team filed to dismiss it, citing that he had only paid the full amount three times in over a year. Now here is what nobody is saying loudly enough. When you are born a man, and you walk into a family court, the system does not begin from a neutral position. Tyrese said it himself on Instagram: "When you were born a man, you go into a courtroom and you understand clearly that there is a preset menu that says, you were born a man, f*** you." That is not bitterness. That is a man describing an experience that tens of thousands of fathers live every single year without cameras and without a platform to speak from. The lesson every man with income, ambition, and a future needs to take from Tyrese Gibson's story is not complicated. A prenup is not a lack of love; it is a legal document that says your financial future belongs to you, regardless of what the emotions do. A clear custody agreement signed before conflict begins is not pessimistic; it is architecture and financial independence, assets in structures that cannot be liquidated by a court order, it is not paranoia, it is the only protection a man has when the relationship ends, and the paperwork begins. Tyrese Gibson loved his wife and called losing her the worst outcome, not the financial penalty, and that tells you everything about where men consistently make the most expensive mistake of their lives: they build from love and forget to build from strategy at the same time. Love the woman you choose, build with her fully, but never let love be the only document protecting what you spent your entire life creating, because the courtroom does not care about love. It only reads what is in writing.

Simon Jordan HITS OUT AT HOLLYWOOD Owners After ALL-STAR Birmingham City vs Wrexham Clash 😳🔥 Does Tom Wagner lack substance, as Simon Jordan suggests, or does he have genuine global ambitions for Birmingham City? #BCFC🤔 Let’s set the record straight. The new owners didn’t take a Premier League club down to League One. They bought a Championship club that had been hovering over the League One trap door for years. ⚽🔵 While they came in late during their first summer, leaving little time to make substantial changes, it’s true they made a misstep in appointing Rooney. On top of that, they were unlucky with the appointment of Mowbray and Venus. 😬🩹 This season, however, is the first where they’ve had a real chance to implement their vision, and so far, they seem to be delivering on the promises we’d all hoped for. 🙌🔧 Jordan is right in saying that, as fans, we care more about football than we do about seeing Tom Brady and David Beckham in the stands. But from a business perspective, surely even he can see the marketing masterstroke behind it all. 🌍💼 Bringing in those global names will help push interest in BCFC and Wrexham in the UK and the US. 🇬🇧🇺🇸 As a businessman himself, you’d think Jordan could appreciate how savvy this move is for the club's profile and commercial appeal. 📈💡 It certainly must be as it's getting these League One side's eyeballs on Talksport! #EFL #KRO

🚨#BREAKING: A 23-year-old is being hailed as a hero after he saw a woman TRAPPED ON THE TRAIN TRACKS with a train coming... ...so he sprinted out of his car and LIFTED THE RAILROAD CROSSING ARM WITH HIS BARE HANDS so she could reverse off the rails. The train passed SECONDS later. ❤️ His name is Josiah Baur, and he is 23 years old from Port St. Lucie, Florida. It happened last Friday around 5 p.m. in Hobe Sound, at Bridge Road and Dixie Highway. Debbie made a turn onto the tracks, and the crossing arm came down right on top of her car. Her antenna caught on the gate. She was pinned between the gates, sitting on the rails. Debbie: "Then I realized that I was trapped; it was absolutely trapped." Dash cam video from another driver caught the whole thing. You can hear the train horn getting closer to her little red car. Debbie: "I know for sure somebody might come up from behind and help me, but you know didn't happen, and then all of a sudden I looked, and I saw my guardian angel coming over the track." That person was Josiah. He had left work late and was in a hurry to get home. He was stopped on the OTHER side of the tracks, looked down at his phone, then looked back up. "I see Miss Debbie's car stuck on the train tracks with the arm down behind it... She's going to get hit, so I threw it in parking and just took off running." And while he was running, he was doing math. He was watching the train. How far out it was. How many seconds he had AND which side of the track it was coming down. "When I noticed it was on her side of track, I'm like, OK, now or never, we gotta do this." He got to the gate, put both arms under it, and PUSHED IT UP. Debbie threw it in reverse and backed off the rails. Then the train went through. Debbie: "I don't know how many seconds passed by and then the train came right by, so it was a close call. It was very close." A woman named Lizzy Dominguez was in the car right behind Josiah, watching it all, unable to move. "We were just saying, 'Please, God, please, God, please, God.' We were frozen in the car. We couldn't move." She took a photo of Josiah and posted it to a local Facebook group because she did not know his name and wanted to find him. She said they had just watched a miracle. Josiah said he does not think he did anything special. "People say she's a stranger to me, but she's a child of God just like I am." And this: "I'm just very fortunate that God put me right where I was." That Sunday, Debbie and Josiah met back up at the same railroad crossing. They hugged. Debbie: "I won't ever forget what he's done for me. He is a true American hero." She is taking his whole family out to dinner. GOD BLESS Josiah Baur. THIS IS THE AMERICA I KNOW!!! 🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸

In 1997, at the age of 27, Matt Damon won his first Academy Award for Best Screenplay ("Good Will Hunting"). After Damon won the Oscar, he went home, sat down on his sofa, & looked at the award. As he looked at it, he was suddenly overwhelmed by a heartbreaking thought. "Imagine chasing that, and not getting it, and getting it finally in your 80s or your 90s with all of life behind you and realizing what an unbelievable waste of your life...It can't fill you up. If that's a hole that you have, that won't fill it." "My heart broke," Damon said. "I imagined another one of me [not getting that award until I was] an old man, and going like, 'oh my god. where did my life go? What have I done?' And then it's over." Takeaway 1: Many successful, rich, famous, etc. people talk about chasing success, money, fame, etc., getting it, and realizing that it didn't feel like they thought it would. That it didn't, as Damon said, fill the hole they had. One of my favorite analogies for this pattern comes from Sam Hinkie. Hinkie was asked about what he's learned from reading Robert Caro's books—about some very successful, rich, famous, etc. people. "I think of it like the Pacific Salmon," Hinkie said. "They spend their whole life making this journey upstream to spawn in this one spot. And as soon as they do, they die. That's largely what Caro shows you." Takeaway 2: Before he was a big-time comedian, Hasan Minhaj was asked if he thought he was going to become a big-time comedian. “I don’t like that question,” he said. “I fundamentally don’t like that question.” Because that question implies that he is only doing comedy as a means to some end (success, money, fame, etc.). “No, no, no,” he said, “The set I get to do tonight at 7:20 PM is the win. I get to do comedy—I won. It being predicated on doing X or being bigger than Y—no, no, no. To me, it’s always just been about the work." "The work is the win," as Ryan Holiday once told me. - - - "It's such a gift to be able to [do] something and to love it for the sake of it...I see people with talent, with all those things. But the one thing they don't have is just that love for doing it for the sake of it...So if there's anything, just find joy in what you do for the sake of it." — Rodney Mullen Follow Billy Oppenheimer for more content like this!

NEVER FORGET WHAT LUKE O NEILL DID AND IS STILL DOING Luke O'Neill said (when we asked him questions), I'm "going back to my day job" and was "not needed anymore". He never actually got the wee prick himself (but it could be argued he is a massive one), ignores the 25k excess deaths in Ireland since the roll out. Ignores all the turbo cancers killing even young people within weeks of diagnosis, and instead, today, he parrots some big pharma funded study that seriously misleads people about the truth, saying that getting the "tea" helps you better survive cancer. He once told people the "tea" was "100% safe and effective" and to take any "tea" you could get your hands on. Yet he never took it himself. We know or was not safe. Even if it generally had been, nothing is "100% safe and effective". Ever. We challenged him a few times on camera (see one of those times below where even the blind and deaf would be able to see and hear how totally dishonest and shifty he is being. He can sue me if he likes for saying that. He is totally unscrupulous and I'll stand over that until the day I die. If there's a God (I believe there is) this man will have to answer to him someday. When you look at the money he had made from selling his company to Big Pharma, you'll know why he shills for them (and he has received "funding" from them too. Once someone said to me that he is a pure chancer, who would have been a door to door dodgy carpet salesman if he hadn't of fallen into what he is selling now. I think that sounds about right.

congratulations son yejin for winning best actress! "oh, thank you so much. honestly, every time i was nominated, i would prepare an acceptance speech. but, this time, i really didn't. earlier when sungmin sunbae said he hadn't prepared a speech, i feel exactly the same. do i really deserve this award? that thought kept going through my mind. oh, everything in front of me just feels so unreal right now. first, i remember when i was 27 and first won best actress at the blue dragon film awards. back then, in my speech, i said it was tough living as a 27 year old actress, and that this award would give me strength. but now, as i enter my mid-forties, over 10 years have gone by in a flash, and now, receiving this award again from the blue dragon film awards, the very first dream i had as an actress was to win best actress at the blue dragon film awards. that was my dream. and you all have made it come true for me again. and, it's really been 7 years since my last film. when dir pcw asked me to work with him again, i was so excited and happy, but then i started worrying and often wondered if i could do it well. but even though my role wasn't that big, i'm truly grateful to dir pcw for helping me shape the character of miri so well, and watching byunghun sunbaenim act up close was really inspiring and taught me a lot. and then, after getting married and becoming a mum, i've started to feel so many different emotions and perspectives on the world, and my way of looking at things has changed a little. i really want to become a good adult. and in the midst of that, i'll keep growing and continue to become a good actor, and always remain a wonderful actor by your side. lastly, i'd like to to share this joy with the two men i love so much, kim taepyung and our baby, kim woojin. thank you"
