The question that needs to be asked is obvious: how does that happen?
As one person put it: “Anybody want to ask questions why, when they don’t own any companies, they don’t run any businesses? You should. By the way, that’s a lot of our politicians.”
It’s a stark illustration of how Washington works and why so many Americans are fed up with the system."

TSA
workers are confirming they have now received back pay for the last two
missed pay periods, thanks to President Trump’s executive order.
This has brought an improved start to the week for travelers, with lines moving better and the chaos easing.
While
Democrats continued to block funding, Trump used funds from the Big
Beautiful Bill to make sure these frontline workers got paid.
It’s a clear example of action over obstruction.

The NBA’s double standard is glaring.
Steve
Kerr can stand at the podium and falsely accuse government agents of
murder with zero consequences — no fines, no suspensions, nothing.
Meanwhile,
Jaden Ivey gets waived by the Chicago Bulls after speaking out as a
Christian and criticizing the league’s promotion of “Pride Month” and
“unrighteousness.”
He didn’t attack anyone personally — he simply stood on his faith.
The contrast is impossible to ignore: the league tolerates inflammatory political rants but cracks down on Christian conviction.

16-year-old
Lily Bova, a beloved high school student, was gunned down outside her
home in the quiet Chicago suburb of Glenview, Illinois.
Despite
the shocking murder in a normally safe area, police have still not
released a description of the suspect or any meaningful details to the
public.
Her family and the community are devastated, and the lack of transparency is only adding to the pain and frustration.

11
year old Alireza Jafari has been identified as the child soldier who
lost his life while being forced to serve as a soldier of the Islamic
Regime in Iran.
According to Hengaw, a Norway-based human rights
organization, he is the first reported Iranian child soldier to lose his
life since the escalation of the war in the Middle East.
He was initially reported as a civilian casualty, but the
"Teachers' Basij" organization later confirmed that he d*ed "while on duty."
According to his mother, he was at an IRGC checkpoint with his father due to a shortage of personnel.
Earlier,
Al Arabiya reported that the Islamic regime in Iran had lowered the
conscription age and resumed recruiting minors into the armed forces.
Teenagers have reportedly been assigned to checkpoints and patrol duties
in Tehran.
The use of child soldiers is not new for the Islamic regime.
Similar
practices were used during the Iran-Iraq War, when children aged 9-12
were sent en masse to clear minefields, with the full approval of
Ayatollah Ruhollah Khomeini.
Schools were heavily used for
propaganda, where dying for the Islamic revolution was glorified. Many
children went to the front voluntarily under its influence.
Children
were given so-called "golden keys" to wear around their necks.
Propaganda claimed these keys would open the gates of heaven if they
were deceased as martyrs.
They were sent ahead, detonating mines to
clear the way for trained units. Some were even tied together with ropes
to prevent them from fleeing.
Rest in peace, Alireza
