Finally a feel good story and hope for humanity. 💪
NEW: Internet users raise over $1.2M for an 88-year-old US Army veteran to help him retire after his pension was wiped out. Ed Bambas lost his wife 7 years ago and is now working 40 hours a week to make ends meet. Bambas retired from General Motors in 1999, expecting to have a stable pension. When GM went bankrupt in 2009, Bambas and nearly 20,000 others at GM subsidiary Delphi Corporation lost their pensions and retirement benefits. "The thing that hurt me the most was when my wife was really sick," Bambas said to influencer Sam Weidenhofer. "And when they took the pension, they also took the healthcare coverage and all but $10,000 of my life insurance." "So I sold my house, sold the property I had, and we made it through." When his wife passed away in 2018, Bambas says he had to "re-establish" himself and decided to go back to work. "I'm fortunate God gave me enough body to be strong enough to stand there for eight, eight-and-a-half hours a day," Bambas said to local news outlet WXYZ. Weidenhofer says he heard about Bambas from a follower and set out to find him in Michigan. After finding him and sharing his story on TikTok, online users helped raise over $1.2M for him. God bless him and all those who donated. Video: itssozer / tt.

Tropic Thunder (2008) is one of the boldest Hollywood satires ever. Unhinged, sharp, and still unmatched.
Which films satirized their genre the best?

Rocket Classic: For all those who complained that the U.S. Open was too difficult, are you pleased with -10 first round 62’s from the co-leaders? Let’s cue the “what’s a scratch golfer shooting here” questions.

A lot of people have asked me if I will get involved in the NYC mayor race by supporting a candidate that can defeat Zohran Mamdani. TBH, I’m torn and undecided. Like every other city run by democrats, NYC is a broken kleptocracy. Taxes are astronomical and services are pathetic to nonexistent. Anarchy and socialism are the next logical steps in this story arc. It's what the people of NYC have been asking for for years and it looks like it's what they are about to get. Trying to fight against this tide seems like throwing good money after bad. It appears things will have to get worse in NYC before they get better. The Zoomers and Millennials need a refresher on the outcome of Marxism and socialism. They are too young to remember the crack and crime epidemic and murder sprees of the late 80's and early 90's. The squeegee men, graffiti, mugging, lawlessness, chaos, and pandemonium. Streets that were too unsafe to walk alone at night or even during the day. Getting mugged on the way to and from school was not just a rite of passage, it was an inevitability. The Wall Streeters, financiers, and hedge funders have been too busy working on their fishponds and climbing the rungs of polite society to remember to protect the system that allowed them to achieve their success in the first place and allowed New York City to once become the greatest city in the world. Not ruffling feathers was more important than questioning the ideological insanity being taught in the private schools and universities that they sent their kids to. All that mattered was fitting in and getting invited to the right dinner parties. Now their kids are indoctrinated NPCs, always protesting and supporting the current thing. Like their parents, they too want to fit in. To do so, they unironically exchange bromides and platitudes on the benefits of socialism over rosé brunches in the West Village. Because their friends hate America and capitalism, they do too. It never dawns on them that their lifestyle and studio apartment that their parents subsidize are all made possible because of capitalism. This delusional thinking was ingrained in them at an early age by institutions that were captured by insane ideology and left unchecked by their grossly negligent parents. Instead of providing their children with immunity from stupid and provably bad ideas that have only led to misery and death throughout history, these parents shrugged it off as kids will be kids. Now these kids are adults who can vote, but are totally unequipped to do so. In many ways it’s not their fault. From their parents, they learned some combination of magical thinking, preference falsification, and an inability to stand up for anything greater than themselves. As a result, they never learned how to think critically or independently. They never learned the value of Western civilization so they don't understand why, or know how, to fight for it. Sometimes the only way to learn something is to learn it the hard way. Sometimes the only way to learn the value of what you have is to lose it. If that’s the case, Marxism and socialism might just be what the doctor ordered.

J.J. Spaun on his mentality over the last year: "Last year in June I was looking like I was going to lose my job, and that was when I had that moment where, if this is how I go out, I might as well go down swinging. That's kind of how my coach tells me about my golf shots or my golf swing on the course. If there's a challenging shot, he's like, at least you go down committing to the shot. Don't bail one out right because you feel uncomfortable, just go down swinging. You might as well put the swing you want on it, and if it doesn't work out, it doesn't work out. That's kind of the mantra I've been having all year."

🚨🏆🇺🇸 From a CVS run to U.S. Open Champion. What a day it has been for J.J. Spaun. “Today I was running to CVS in downtown because my daughter had a stomach bug and was vomiting all night long. I was just like, okay, my wife was up at 3:00 a.m., and she's like, Violet is vomiting all over. She can't keep anything down….” “It was kind of a rough start to the morning. I'm not blaming that on my start, but it kind of fit the mold of what was going on, the chaos. I don't think I had any -- I didn't really -- like when I go back home after the round, my kids are there, and it's such a big distraction where I'm not even having to dwell on anything or think too much, which is a good thing.”

JJ Spaun lost 40 pounds from 2017 to 2021, dropping to 584 in the world golf ranking. Doctors told him he had Type 2 diabetes, but he kept losing weight, only to find out two years later he had Type 1 diabetes. Now, he’s a top 25 player and U.S. Open champion. What a comeback.
