This is good to know! I stay away from engagement farming etc. I just try to post news that I think others might find informative. Thank you Grok!

A 17-year-old boy was punched inside his high school classroom, ran into the hallway and moments later went over a FOURTH-FLOOR railing to his death. Now his family says what happened before that horrifying video began is just as important. They say Xavier had been bullied for YEARS. Xavier Nungaray was a senior at Benjamin Franklin High School in Los Angeles when a confrontation broke out Wednesday. Video circulating from inside the school shows a teacher trying to intervene before another student strikes Xavier. The Los Angeles Times reports another video shows the attacker shouting racial slurs. A student who witnessed the confrontation told ABC7 the other boy kept throwing punches while Xavier wasn't fighting back. Xavier got up, ran from the classroom and, moments later, went over a fourth-floor railing. He was rushed to a hospital, where he died. Police are still investigating exactly what happened and say they have found no evidence of foul play in his death. But Xavier's family says this wasn't the first time he had been bullied. His stepmother says he had endured bullying throughout high school but was afraid to report it because he feared HE would be the one who got punished. His aunt says it became so bad that Xavier wanted to change schools. And this is where I don't want the horrifying final moments of his life to erase the 17 years that came before them. A classmate who had known Xavier since SECOND GRADE remembers a funny kid who loved laughing at everyone else's jokes. She says he was the kind of friend who would be there when you needed him and seemed to always have a smile. Hundreds of people have now gathered outside his school, surrounding his pictures with flowers and candles. His family is preparing to bury him. And parents who send their own children through school doors every morning believing they'll be safe are left with some incredibly difficult questions about what happened here. Xavier's family believes the bullying he endured matters, while investigators are still working to determine the circumstances surrounding his death. So rather than pretending we already know every answer, maybe we should ask a question that could matter for the NEXT child: If a kid is being bullied but is too afraid to tell an adult because he thinks HE might get in trouble, how are parents and teachers supposed to recognize it before something terrible happens? Please share condolences and prayers for Xavier's family here. His life mattered. RIP.

TEXANS VOTE FOR KEN PAXTON AS THE NEW TEXAS SENATOR. TALARICO IS A 'WOKE' CANDIDATE WHO PROMOTES LEFTIST CAUSES INCLUDING MEN IN WOMEN'S SPORTS. Many Texas Republican legislators have taken a knee to the Democrats other than a few politicians like .@brianeharrison: There is no doubt that the House in TX is controlled by Democrats who support 'woke' Talarico. How do we know the Democrats control the House? The pretend Republicans love Talarico so much they made him vice chair of academic and career-oriented education. The so-called Republicans had no problem with Talarico in that position and still don't. It's time Texans stopped listening to the candidates' rhetoric when they are on the campaign trail and pay attention to what they have said in the past and how they have voted if in office. BTW - Burrows is a RINO and has to be taken out of any kind of leadership in Texas.

These oysters are everything! This was the best way to escape the heat at home. Family fun day!

Saturday fun random question🤣🍟 I rarely eat French fries, but when I do, I’m the #2 kind with less ketchup. My son, on the other hand, loved lots of ketchup on his fries. 🍟 Which one are you, or neither?

🇺🇸The term “mostly peaceful” is not applicable to Islam.🇺🇸

Okay, Dores not going to beat Georgia in football today But they have looked okay. Not god awful. Kept it somewhat close thru 3 quarters I think can save my Lucky Dore Shirt. Nothing a few trips thru the washing machine can't fix. Maybe a trip to the Dry Cleaners Anchor Down

66 years ago today, we took our first trip to Mayberry. 📺 If you spent enough time there, you might recognize this place without seeing a single familiar face. Where are we? 👀

This is exactly where AI should never cross the line. Chris Pelkey’s family wanted the court to hear the kind of person he was, and I understand that. But the words in that video weren’t his. His sister wrote the script, and AI gave those words his face and voice. The sentencing judge said he “loved” the video and treated the forgiveness in it as genuine. The appeals court said that was the problem. AI had turned what the family imagined Chris might say into something that looked and sounded like Chris actually saying it. His manslaughter conviction still stands. It’s the sentence that was thrown out, and now he has to be resentenced. AI can recreate a face and a voice. It cannot speak for the dead.

It's Subscriber Shoutout Saturday! @TylerRatcliff17 is my brother from another mother, my sibling, my fellow SEC sports nut, Bake. Ty is a real one and always makes me laugh, whether it's related to golf, Mississippi State sports, or drinking beer. He served our country in the Navy and is a loyal friend. Go check him out!!

Every year or so I order a quarter of a cow. That means at that time i have to go through my freezers and make lots of room. Its pizza day. 🤣 The farmer just happens to be my boss at the state job. I love ordering from him. First off hes a friend and Its also great to support local farmers. The beef isn't treated with anything and is purely organic. Its also very much cheaper to buy this way. I attached my beef Pic from the last time.

It's almost rodeo time for me, I'm excited to see some good riding and takedowns. This girl here, has nerves of STEEL!! 👀🤠🐴💥💪🏻

Sometimes I just shake my head at why people do the things they do. What did doing this provide her? It’s just stupid choices yet it happens a lot day in and out. I could probably tell you which way she votes.

Stay strong 🫡 The sky does the rest. 💙 Some roads feel longer when you are carrying more than the truck. I filmed this stretch with a line I needed to hear out loud today. Isaiah. Short. Steady. The kind that does not rush you. If your Saturday got loud, watch it through. 🙏

It’s always an activist judge cheating for Democrats. What’s interesting in this case is the judge admits only congress can change voter laws. Well we tried telling the masses this is 2020 when judges interfered in the presidential election. nypost.com/2026/10/02/us-new…

If you hurried home from school to watch TV in the late ’60s, this place might look familiar. 👀 Do you recognize it?

Before he became Sergeant Stubby, he was simply a stray Staffordshire terrier mix who wandered onto a training field and found himself a soldier. In 1917, Stubby befriended Private J. Robert Conroy while the 102nd Infantry was training in Connecticut. When the unit shipped overseas for World War I, Conroy brought his little companion along. Stubby would go on to serve alongside American troops in France. He survived a gas attack and became sensitive enough to the danger that he later warned sleeping soldiers of another attack. He helped locate wounded men on the battlefield, alerted troops to danger, and even helped capture a German soldier near the Allied trenches. During his service, Stubby participated in 17 battles and was wounded by shrapnel. His famous coat eventually carried medals and decorations commemorating the little dog who had shared the dangers of war alongside American soldiers. Stubby returned home a hero. But perhaps his greatest honor wasn't hanging from his coat. It was the trust of the soldiers who slept beside him, fought beside him, and knew that when danger came, their little four-legged brother would be right there with them. From a little stray Staffordshire terrier mix to Sergeant Stubby, his story has survived for more than a century. Courage doesn't always wear a uniform. Sometimes it walks beside one on four paws. 🇺🇸🐾❤️

A tripped breaker stops halfway. This one is switched all the way off. Landlord films a “typical day at work.” Tenant says the heat dies every night he gets home and wants money back. Panel opens. Furnace breaker isn’t in the trip spot. It’s fully off, the way a hand leaves it. He flips it on and says if it snaps off by itself, it’s a real fault. If it only dies when the guy walks in, somebody killed it. Rent discount. He turned the breaker off himself.

Chubby Checker turns 85 today, and I just learned his name was basically a joke. He was born Ernest Evans and already had the nickname “Chubby.” As a teenager, he was also really good at impersonating singers—including Fats Domino. Dick Clark's wife heard him doing the impression and made the connection: Fats → Chubby. Domino → Checker. And just like that, Ernest Evans became Chubby Checker. Somehow I've known that name my whole life and never once realized it was a play on Fats Domino. ♥️

Blacks always say support blacks until it’s a black conservative. The legacy media would have you think these black candidates don’t matter, but they do and blacks and others should consider voting for them. What do they have to lose?

Now that's what I call catching a nice ride! This spider monkey has no fear, and the pony is calm as a cucumber! This is so dam entertaining! 🤩😂🐴🐒
