🚨 What if the secret to success isn’t talent or luck… but one simple daily choice? Nick Saban drops truth: Every single day, you face the same 2 questions: 1. Something you KNOW you should do… but don’t FEEL like doing? Can you make yourself do it anyway? 2. Something you know you shouldn’t do… but really WANT to? Can you stop yourself? Getting out of bed when the alarm hits Hitting the gym when you’d rather scroll Studying or grinding when Netflix calls Choosing the hard right over the easy wrong This is the invisible bridge between where you are… and who you want to become Put your choices ahead of your feelings Because if you only do what you feel like doing, you’ll never reach your goals This one mindset shift changes everything for champions — and it can change everything for YOU too.

They used to find the fastest man in the NFL by actually racing. No debates or hypotheticals. And even with no force plates, no resisted devices, etc. they had legit speed. Bring this back!!

Puts the finishing touches on the D. Bolsters the line for present and future. Tall WR with speed to take the top off. And a power back who can catch, block and score touchdowns in case Brooks can’t do it.

I’m a Marine Corp veteran, trained by LEOs when I served in US embassies on how to handle unruly individuals or protestors. 1) If you are the guys with guns, you are the ones responsible for the situation. Doubly so if you outnumber the person you’re engaging. 2) You do not need to use force except to control the situation in order to deescalate it. Minimal force required. 3) You are NOT here to look for excuses to use more force. Even if the person gives you an excuse which ā€œjustifiesā€ using force, that doesn’t mean using force is de facto the right move. 4) ā€œLet the other person retreatā€ often resolves the situation just fine! Don’t surround people, back them up against a wall, etc. Your job is to control the situation. ā€œI put myself stupidly in dangerā€ is not an excuse to escalate ā€œbecause I’m in danger.ā€ 5) People will feed off of your energy. If you come rolling up like a fascist thug ready to break skulls, people will meet you at that level. If you show up calm, professional, and having a friendly chat, often that brings the temperature down. Everything I see from ICE agents is they are relishing violence and exercising power, needlessly escalating situations, looking for opportunities to shoot their weapons and beat the shit out of people.

On the morning of September 11, 2001, LeRoy Wilton Homer Jr. reported for work like he had countless times before. He was a pilot. A husband. A son. A Black man who had earned his place in a cockpit that had never been designed with him in mind. When United Flight 93 was hijacked, LeRoy didn’t disappear into fear. From inside the plane, a calm but urgent voice reached the ground. He relayed what was happening. He fought for time. He fought for lives. And when passengers rose up against terror, he was already standing in resistance. The plane never reached its intended target. It crashed into a field in Pennsylvania instead—because the people onboard, including the pilots, refused to surrender quietly. Because courage lived in that cabin. LeRoy Wilton Homer Jr. died that day at just 36 years old. His name is rarely spoken when 9/11 is remembered. His face is often missing from the narratives. And yet, his sacrifice is inseparable from the lives he helped save. Even in a moment of national mourning, his story reminds us of a painful truth: Black heroism is too often overlooked, even when it costs everything. But history does not forget forever. LeRoy Homer was a Black pilot who faced terror with resolve, who helped prevent even greater loss, and who gave his life in the fight. He deserves to be remembered—not as a footnote, but as a hero. Honor LeRoy Homer Jr.'s legacy by sharing his story and keeping his heroism alive. His courage deserves to be remembered.

"I'm Big Joe. 58. Long-haul trucker. Been driving 18-wheelers for 34 years. Sleep in my cab. Eat at truck stops. Talk on CB radio to stay awake. Lonely job. But someone's gotta move America's stuff. Two years ago, I'm driving through Nebraska. 2 a.m. See a car pulled over. Hazards on. Woman standing outside. Looking scared. I pulled over. She backed away when she saw me. I'm 6'4", 280 pounds, covered in tattoos. I get it. "Ma'am, I'm not stopping to hurt you. I'm stopping to help. What's wrong?" Her car died. Phone dead. She'd been there three hours. Nobody stopped. "Where you headed?" "Hospital. Omaha. My daughter's in emergency surgery. I have to get there." No hesitation. "Get in. I'll take you." "In your truck?" "Safest vehicle on this highway." She hesitated. Then got in. Drove her 60 miles out of my way. Got her there in time. She hugged me hard. "Nobody stops anymore," she cried. "Thank you for seeing me." Got back on the road. Couldn't stop thinking about it. Got on the CB. Told other truckers. "We see everything out here. We should do something." Started a code. "Code Angel" we call it. When truckers see someone broken down, stranded, in trouble, we stop. We help. Word spread. Truckers across the country joined. Last year, we helped 1,200 people. Dead batteries. Out of gas. Medical emergencies. Domestic violence victims escaping. Runaways needing safe transport to shelters. We've got a network now. Truckers, CB radio, truck stops. Someone needs help? We mobilize. Saved six lives last year. People broken down in dangerous spots. Diabetics in crisis. A kidnapping victim we spotted and reported. But here's my favorite story. Last month, I'm at a truck stop. Young kid approaches me. Maybe 19. Scared. "Are you Big Joe?" "Yeah." "You know how to ride in a truck?" His eyes filled. "You'd help me?" "That's what we do." I didn't go to San Francisco. But I got him to a trucker who was. She took him the rest of the way. He made it. Safe. Now there's 4,000 truckers in Code Angel. We've got an app. Dispatchers. Resources. News called us "Guardian Angels of the Highway." But we're just truckers. Doing what's right. That woman in Nebraska? Her daughter survived surgery. She sends me Christmas cards every year. The kid I helped? He's in college now. Studying social work. Says he wants to help invisible people like truckers helped him. I'm Big Joe. I drive a truck. Sleep in parking lots. Smell like diesel. But I learned something. The loneliest roads are where people need help most. And the scariest-looking people are sometimes the ones who stop. So tomorrow, if you break down, if you're stranded, if you're running from something bad, Look for the trucks. We're watching. We're listening. We might look rough. But we'll get you home. Because the highway doesn't have to be lonely. Not when 4,000 truckers refuse to drive past people in trouble." . Let this story reach more hearts.... . Ai image is for demonstration purpose only. .

BREAKING: EVERYONE NEEDS TO HEAR THIS. Senator Mark Kelly just completely torched Donald Trump: "When Donald Trump was driving the Taj Mahal casino into bankruptcy, I was getting shot at over Iraq and Kuwait. In 2001, after Donald Trump said that the collapse of the Twin Towers now meant he now owned the tallest skyscraper in Manhattan, I was carrying flags honoring 911 victims into space on a rocket ship. In 2003, when Donald Trump was writing birthday greetings to the monster, Jeffrey Epstein, I was the first on the scene to recover the bodies of my fellow astronauts who died when Space Shuttle Columbia exploded during re-entry. In 2011, when Trump was hosting a reality show, and peddling conspiracy theories against President Barack Obama, I was sitting next to my wife’s hospital bed as she recovered from a gunshot wound to the head."

Holiness must blossom precisely where decisions are made that affect the lives of thousands of families. The world needs entrepreneurs and leaders who, out of love for God and neighbor, work for an economy that serves the common good. It is possible to be both an entrepreneur and a saint—economic efficiency and fidelity to the Gospel are not mutually exclusive—and charity can penetrate even industrial and financial structures.

Cowboys fans. Giants fans. Commanders fans. Eagles fans. Let’s take a moment and put the trash talk aside. At the end of the day, this is football. Rivalries are part of our cultures, but life is bigger than all of this. Cam Skattebo - season ending injury Jayden Daniels - dislocated elbow Marshawn Kneeland - took his life All that happened not even a month apart. These aren’t just players we watch on a screen. They’re people’s sons, teammates, brothers, friends, and real human beings with real lives and real pain. We argue every day, but right now, none of that matters. Someone is battling an injury. Someone is fighting depression. Someone is carrying pain none of us can see. Right now, let’s come together—all 4 fanbases as people first. Check on your people, even as fans during this time. We are all brothers and sisters today. ā¤ļø #DallasCowboys #RaiseHail #NYGiants #FlyEaglesFly

HOF voting season is underway, and I'm deeply grateful for the incredible words shared by my peers in this video. Hearing their endorsements has left me speechless— I'm not good at asking for support, but I'm asking now. If you believe in my candidacy, please help me get this video seen. A simple repost makes all the difference. ​@Giants fans, let's unite! Your support is what can make this go viral. #tellafriendtotellafriend #GoBigBlue šŸ‘‡šŸ¾ ​youtube.com/shorts/dajCDq6oN…

The murder of Charlie Kirk is part of a disturbing rise in political violence that threatens to hollow out our public life. A free society relies on the premise that people can speak out without fear or humiliation. No more political violence.
