Best thing I hard last night "At least Mayor Bass pretends to care!" @Spencer

Last week in Baltimore, Uber charged me $85 for a trip that usually costs $20. So today, I called Lyft and was picked up by a guy named Mike. He was driving a red F-150, clearly a work truck, full of tools and lumber... I sat up front. “How far to the airport,” I asked. “Fifteen minutes,” he said. “You in a hurry?” “Not really,” I said. “Are you?” “Never.” As we merged onto the road and settled into the slow lane, I asked Mike if he was a carpenter in real life. “Among other things,” he said. “Jack of all trades?” “Well, I don’t know about that,” he said. A while ago, I was a plumber’s helper. Then I worked in the heating and air condition game.” “How was that?,” I asked. “Hot and cold,” he said. I couldn’t tell if he was making a joke or not. His voice had a midwestern drawl with no expression on his face. “After that, I started carpentry. Trim, then framing." “You retired now? “No. I build campers these days.” “What kind of campers?” I asked. “I build them small ones you can tow most anywhere. They call ‘em teardrop trailers. I build ‘em by hand, one at a time.” “Yeah? How’s the quality,” I asked. “Pretty good,” he said. “Got a website?” I asked. “Sure,” he said. “What’s your website called?” I asked. “Mike’s Pretty Good Campers.” “Your company is called 'Mike’s Pretty Good Campers?'” “I like to manage expectations,” said Mike. "Under promise and over deliver?" "That's the idea," said Mike. "Is that what you were doing before you picked me up? Building a pretty good camper?” “Yup. But I was frustrated. I don’t work when I’m frustrated. So, every now and then I step away.” “And drive a stranger to the airport?” I said. “Never too frustrated to drive.” said Mike. “Driving relaxes me. Besides, we ain’t strangers no more, are we?” “No,” I said. “I suppose not.” As we turned on Airport Road, I said, “So what’s the plan? Wait for another call? Or head back to the shop?” “Ain’t decided yet. Guess I'll see how I feel in a few minutes.” “Good plan,” I said. “By the way, if I like your website, do you care if I share it on Facebook?” “Why do you want to do that?” he asked. “I’ve got a few people who follow me on social media. Maybe some want a pretty good camper, custom made by a quasi-retired carpenter who drives for Lyft when he's frustrated?” “Can’t hurt,” said Mike. “Once people see these things, they fall in love with ‘em. They got conventions all over the country for teardrop trailer owners. Thousands show up.” As we pulled up to the airport, Mike asked me what carrier I was on. “American,” I said. “Right here is fine.” “Pre-check?” he asked. “Yes,” I said. We pulled up to the curb. I hopped out, as Mike dragged my bags out of the bed of his truck. “You look familiar,” he said. “Have I driven you before?” “I don’t think so,” I said. “I would have remembered. Thanks for the lift.” “No problem,” he said. “Was the ride okay?” "Pretty Good" Source: Mike Rowe

🚨 TRUMP: WILL FIND OUT ABOUT IRAN IN ABOUT 10 DAYS

Thank you for responding. Keep at it. Imagine watching your child lose their eyesight because you don't meet the parameters of a system. I imagine if that happened to anyone in management of @AnthemBCBS they would do anything to push this through.

TRUMP: WE HAVE A LOT OF MEETING SCHEDULED ON GREENLAND

We will never have, by every good metric imaginable, a President as great as Donald Trump. He has literally been one man in the storm, turning back a tsunami of graft, corruption, and sloth in Washington and beyond. He is a gladiator, a truly unstoppable force of nature.

US military attacks Venezuela, captures Maduro and flies him out of country, Trump says foxnews.com/video/5614615980…

My dad @SteveWitkoff has always been my hero, the kind of man who leads quietly, works tirelessly, and puts others before himself. But seeing him help bring hostages home reminded the world of what I’ve known my whole life: his heart, his strength, and his faith move mountains. I’m endlessly proud to be his son. And grateful to President Trump @POTUS and @jaredkushner — whose resolve and leadership made this mission possible. 🇺🇸

We are waiting for you.

Retweet if you believe @realDonaldTrump deserves the Nobel Peace Prize.

.@MrsErikaKirk just shared this on her IG 🥺🙏🏼 “You loved witnessing excellence. It's why you loved sports so much. You loved watching the best of the best perform at the level of greatness God intended for them. When we first started dating, we went to the basketball court to shoot around. I loved seeing you in that element because time was irrelevant. It was just us, the sound of sneakers squeaking and jump shots. We bonded over how Jordan was the GOAT and you told me about your basketball days in high school and I told you about my basketball days in college. Just two athletes escaping the demands of the world for a minute. I remember seeing on your wrist a red bracelet. You never took it off, it said "work harder, be better." And everyday you did just that. Years later, one day after an event on campus a student asked you about your bracelet, and you gave it to them. I have no idea who that student was or where they are today, but l have no doubt they're working harder and being better, because you set the tone. This is one of the last photos taken of you before you were murdered. I look at it and can't help but see excellence. You're in your element. You're in athlete mode. Training for this exact moment, mind, body, and soul. To me, this is your "Jordan" photo. Permanently etched in time, held in my heart, as I admire your greatness. Forever. I pray you've had the most amazing week in Heaven @charliekirk11 I love you.”

Charlie’s children will be raised with stories instead of memories, photographs instead of laughter, and silence where their father’s voice should have echoed. Charlie Kirk’s life should serve as a symbolic reminder that compassionate awareness elevates family, love, and country.

I spoke to former Israeli hostage Or Levy last week. He shared everything about his captivity. I’ve written down everything I remember from our conversation. Please take one minute to read his chilling and terrifying experience. He told me that in Hamas’ tunnels, he didn’t speak for months—because they warned him that if he spoke, they would kill him. After so long, he forgot what his own voice sounded like. Sometimes he would cover his face with his shirt and whisper—just to remember how he sounds. He said you can barely breathe in those tunnels because of the mold. They were given one single pita bread every two days—often moldy, in different colors. Many times Hamas officers would flaunt their food and taunt them. The tunnels are only 4–5 feet high, so you can’t stand. They were rarely allowed to use the bathroom and could shower maybe once every 2 months at best (just a small sink rinse). At one point, Hamas moved him to an even harsher tunnel and chained him to another hostage for eight straight months. They were told that if they were heard speaking to each other, they would be killed. On October 7th, immediately after kidnapping him, they killed his wife. For an entire year, he did not know whether she was alive or dead. On the day of the hostage deal, the IDF informed him that she had been killed. On October 7th, when he was kidnapped from the Nova Festival, he said he was more terrified of the “innocent civilians” than of Hamas. Not one civilian tried to help him. On the contrary—they all tried to kill him. Hamas actually had to protect them from the civilians. From what he experienced, most Palestinians in Gaza want all Jewish people dead. Don’t be on the wrong side of history. Israel is not the enemy. Israel wants peace. Tonight is yet another night our hostages are chained in mold-infested, five-foot tunnels, starving to death. Please share this message. BRING OUR HOSTAGES HOME.
