I have very good friends who are looking for a two bedroom house with a garage rental . They’re very dependable renters. They’ve been in their current house for over 20 years and are needing to find a new place. Extremely reliable and treat their place like it’s their own. Please, if you have any ideas let me know. Thanks, Heather…you know where to find me

Just honoring our military. Not just this brave young man but my WWII father and my husband and those serving and protecting our country today under our current President who leads our forces into unnecessary and illegal conflict. Never served himself and unfit to lead.

In April 2008, at Camp Ramadi in Iraq, 20-year-old Jordan C. Haerter was manning a vehicle checkpoint, a position that required constant awareness because every approaching vehicle carried uncertainty. That morning, the threat became clear in seconds. A truck, loaded with explosives, accelerated directly toward the gate. There was no time to fully clear the area. Marines and vehicles were still inside the perimeter, and if the truck made it through, the explosion would have caused devastating casualties. Haerter did not step back. He opened fire immediately, aiming at the driver, knowing that slowing the vehicle was the only chance to stop it. Another Marine joined in, and together they engaged the threat as it closed distance rapidly. The truck was stopped just short of the checkpoint. Moments later, it detonated. The explosion was massive, but it occurred outside the base, not inside it. Haerter was killed instantly. The position he held became the line that prevented the blast from reaching hundreds of others. Investigations later confirmed that if the vehicle had breached the gate, the damage and loss of life would have been catastrophic. Haerter had enlisted straight out of high school, known among his peers for his discipline and steady presence, but nothing in training can fully prepare someone for a moment like that. There was no time for hesitation, no external command, only a decision made under pressure with immediate consequences. In 2010, he was posthumously awarded the Medal of Honor, recognition of an action that lasted seconds but carried lasting impact. His story is remembered not for complexity, but for clarity, a young Marine standing his ground when moving away would have been easier, choosing to act knowing exactly what it would cost.

He’s always acted and served in a very patriotic and honorable way throughout his life. These are the people being targeted and threatened by our current resident in the White House and his Cabinet. Resist.

The Pentagon announced Nov. 24 that it was investigating Sen. Mark Kelly for "serious allegations of misconduct" after the Arizona Democrat called for U.S. troops to refuse unlawful orders.

In a statement, Kelly said he learned about the investigation after Secretary of War Pete Hegseth posted about it on X.

"Secretary Hegseth’s tweet is the first I heard of this. I also saw the President’s posts saying I should be arrested, hanged, and put to death," Kelly said in a statement emailed to USA TODAY.

“If this is meant to intimidate me and other members of Congress from doing our jobs and holding this administration accountable, it won’t work," Kelly said in his statement. "I’ve given too much to this country to be silenced by bullies who care more about their own power than protecting the Constitution.”

Julian Brown is a 22-year-old inventor based in Georgia who is turning plastic into fuel. His project is called Plastoline, and it uses a scientific method known as microwave pyrolysis, powered by solar panels. The process heats plastic until it becomes v***r, then cools it into crude oil that can be refined into gasoline, diesel or jet fuel. Julian began developing his own version of this system at 17 and built his first small reactor in high school.

On Oct. 4, 2025, Julian started a 2023 Dodge S**t Pack and ran it entirely on Plastoline. He demonstrated it live at a Nissan dealership in Duluth, Georgia. The road hasn't been easy, but Julian refuses to give up. Building these machines costs thousands of dollars, and some parts can reach tens of thousands. Grants have helped him keep improving his designs. Julian says he has tested his fuel and believes it burns cleaner than regular diesel.

Julian said he has faced cyberattacks and helicopters flying near his home but remains focused on his goal to help the planet. In high school, he saw a video of a turtle with a plastic straw stuck in its nose. The image broke his heart and made him realize how much plastic harms animals and the environment. Instead of looking away, he decided to act. In an interview with WTVM 9, Julian said, "I see it now as, let's get it in the world and implemented. That's the whole point of why I started this."
