This man is wearing a full USMC Sergeant Major (E-9) uniform, a Silver Star with Valor device, and service stripes that claim roughly 12 years of service.
He is not active duty.
He is not retired.
He says he “went to a wedding.”
The rank doesn’t match the stripes. The Silver Star is not an authorized award for him. He claims he deployed to Iraq and Afghanistan twice (and so did his son), yet still chose to put on a uniform and decorations he did not earn.
Wearing the uniform of Marines—especially with combat awards—is not a costume. It is an insult to every Marine who actually earned the right to wear it and to those who never came home.
This is Stolen Valor. Call it what it is. Real service members and veterans should not have to watch this in public without someone saying something.
If your son is actually a Marine, he should be the first person telling you to take it off.
Drop the gear. Stop representing something you didn’t earn.
What are your thoughts? Have you seen this kind of thing in person?

This is what ride operators deal with right before someone gets ejected and dies.
A grown man is screaming at Six Flags staff, threatening to “shut this bitch down” and take it to the parking lot because his 8-year-old keeps getting denied on rides (including Goliath) for not meeting the height requirement. He’s demanding they let the kid on anyway.
Height and restraint rules exist so the lap bar actually holds you when the coaster hits 70 mph and airtime hills try to launch you out. Staff aren’t being mean—they’re the only thing between a bad day and a body on the ground.
Days ago a man was ejected from Goliath at Six Flags Over Georgia, struck other riders, and died. The ride is still closed. This exact kind of pressure on operators is how corners get cut and people don’t come home.
Ride ops aren’t the villains. The people who treat safety checks like personal insults are. Let them do their jobs.
Stop arguing with the people trying to keep your kids alive and maybe don’t drink so much before going to the amusement park.

Boycott this @Enterprise
Shut. It. Down.
Enterprise gave away a customer’s reserved car and left him stranded. He called ahead, booked online, traveled from Danville VA, and already had a non-refundable beach hotel. Staff told him there was nothing they could do and one of them was laughing while he stood there.
He recorded the whole thing and demanded they get him a ride home.
Is this a clear case of a company screwing a customer, or did he turn a normal rental inventory problem into a viral confrontation? @Enterprise

Outrageous
This woman says her new neighbor demanded she get rid of the beehives her family has had on the property for generations because she’s “severely allergic.”
When she refused and pointed out they’ve been there for nearly a century, the land is agricultural, and it’s legal, the neighbor said “We’ll see about that.”
Moving next to a working farm and then trying to shut down what’s already been there for decades is wild. Your allergy doesn’t give you the right to dictate someone else’s property.
What would you tell this neighbor?

Woman parks on private property during an asphalt repair project, gets towed, then shows up at the yard having a full meltdown.
She claims the tow was illegal, she has a baby and an elderly person she needs to take to the hospital, she has no money because it’s the 1st of the month, and the tow company should just give her the car back.
Tow guy: “It’s $407. It was a legal private property tow. Your circumstances aren’t our problem.”
They end at an impasse while she keeps yelling.
Rules exist for a reason. If your life is so precarious that one towed car for parking where the signs said not to creates a crisis, maybe don’t park there. Personal emergencies don’t cancel posted restrictions or create a free pass.
Who’s actually in the wrong here — the property owner, the tow company, or the woman? Is the guy a predatory tow truck operator, or she shouldn’t have parked there?

A neighbor walked up to a house and told the homeowner she has a lot of Halloween decorations.
Homeowner’s response: “Yep. It would be the season.”
Neighbor: Halloween celebrates evil.
Homeowner was having none of that and tells her to “Have the day you deserve, babes. Praise Satan, lady…fckn weirdo.”
Some people really think they get to lecture you about what’s on your own porch.
Who was the weird one?

Gosport locals stood on the waterfront last night and told the next boat load they weren’t welcome. RNLI brought ~150 people ashore anyway. Police lines, scuffles, arrests. Council and MP already said the town is unsuitable. Home Office won’t rule out more.
Same story in Paris, Italian cities, and towns across central Europe the last several days: protests turning into clashes, blocked streets, and locals openly rejecting the arrivals while their governments keep the policy. This is what happens when central governments ignore the people who have to live with the results.
American voters have watched the southern border version of this for years and kept returning the same politicians.
European voters have done the same for two decades. At some point “the politicians failed” stops being the whole explanation.

A friend of mine that is a registered nurse actually posted this. It feels like an important share. Go to any cancer clinic across America and you will find most doctors are indeed what she says below.
Why would they want to save our lives?

I know this is serious, but does anyone else see Godzilla or it it just me? 😳
What exactly is a shop owner supposed to learn from having his business looted or burned to the ground? What political point is he supposed to take away while standing in the ashes?
And those fires don’t care about anyone’s cause. They can spread to homes, trap people inside and put firefighters in danger trying to save strangers.
People can disagree over immigration, government policy or policing. None of that gives anyone permission to destroy what somebody else spent years building.
Whatever your cause, you don’t get to hand an innocent person the bill for your anger.

I truly believe there are more MAGA than there are Democrats. We are courageous. Stay the course. Trump is setting the best example for what our future leaders should look like.

Matthew 5:21 (NIV)
“You have heard that it was said to the people long ago, ‘You shall not murder, and anyone who murders will be subject to judgment.’”
Jesus quotes the Old Testament commandment and then expands it in the following verses (Matthew 5:22), teaching that anger and contempt toward another person are related to the same heart issue. This is a clear New Testament affirmation of the prohibition against taking a human life.
This verse above reads to me as though anyone carrying heavy anger and contempt is equal to taking a human life.
Liberals are so angry, I believe they are driven to madness. 😈

Remember when October 21, 2015 was literally THE FUTURE?
Yeah.
That future is now 11 years behind us.
Back to the Future Part II sent Marty McFly forward to a world with hoverboards, self-lacing shoes, video calls, giant flat screens, and technology that felt completely impossible when the movie came out.
Some of it actually happened.
Some of it absolutely did not.
And somehow the strangest part is realizing we’ve now lived far enough beyond Marty’s “future” that 2015 itself feels nostalgic.
Back to the Future Day always hits a little differently now.
Because as kids, the future felt impossibly far away.
Then one day you look up and realize you already drove past it.
Great Scott.
I would like a refund on how fast that happened.

Some games didn’t need tutorials, updates, or a 40-hour story.
They just needed four turtles, a bunch of Foot Soldiers, and someone yelling:
“I CALL DONATELLO.”
Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles IV: Turtles in Time hit the Super Nintendo in 1992 and somehow turned time travel into one of the best excuses ever to sit on the floor in front of the TV with a controller.
Dinosaurs.
Pirates.
The Wild West.
The future.
And, of course, throwing Foot Soldiers directly toward the screen because apparently that was the coolest thing technology had ever accomplished.
You could finish the game in an afternoon.
You could also immediately start it over.
Somewhere out there, an entire generation can still hear:
“BIG APPLE… 3 A.M.”
And suddenly we’re kids again.
Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: Turtles in Time is the peak of 16-bit beat 'em ups, but its history runs deep. Here are 10 facts you might not know:
#1. Title Swaps: In arcades, it was just Turtles in Time. Konami added the roman numeral for the Super Nintendo—releasing it as TMNT IV:
Turtles in Time to follow part 3 on the NES. Europe got Teenage Mutant Hero Turtles IV due to strict anti-ninja censorship, while Japan’s Super Famicom release dropped the number completely.
#2. The Box Art Legend:
The iconic North American SNES cover was painted by Konami’s legendary artist Tom duBois, who created it using alkyd oils on illustration board. He also did the cover art for Contra III and Super Castlevania IV.
#3. Arcade Cabinet Design:
While Michael Dooney illustrated the original 1989 cab, the 1991 Turtles in Time cabinet art (marquee, side panels, and bezel) was handled in-house by Konami designers Masami Inafuku, M. Moriyama, and Soichiro Kitai.
#4. "Pizza Power" Roots:
The arcade intro song wasn't written for the game. Konami licensed it directly from the 1990 TMNT: Coming Out of Their Shells musical concert tour, which led to music licensing headaches in later digital re-releases.
#5. Mode 7 Screen-Throws:
The arcade screen-throw was a random grapple animation. On SNES, Konami retooled it into a deliberate player input powered by hardware Mode 7 scaling, making it the core mechanic to beat the new Technodrome Shredder fight.
#6. Boss Overhauls:
The home port swapped several bosses. Arcades featured the obscure mud-monster Cement Man; the SNES swapped him for Slash, added Bebop and Rocksteady on the pirate ship, put Rat King on a jet ski, and capped off the game with Super Shredder from Secret of the Ooze.
#7. The "Bloated Beanbag" Flub:
In the SNES intro, Leonardo calls Shredder a "bloated beanbag." That line was a scripting port error—in the arcade version, Leo hurled the insult at Krang, who had just flown off carrying the Statue of Liberty.
#8. Hidden Developer Tags:
If you pause the arcade explosions frame-by-frame, the smoke and dust clouds spell out the Japanese katakana names of graphic artists Moriyama, Inafuku, and Kitai.
#9. Working Title:
Early in production at Konami USA, the game was pitched under the internal concept title TMNT Time Travelers before the team locked in the final name.
#10. The Genesis Alternate:
Instead of compromising on a scaled-back Genesis port without hardware Mode 7 scaling, Konami built TMNT: The Hyperstone Heist, remixing assets, levels, and music from both arcade entries into a standalone adventure.

To call this idea genius is the opposite of true.
