  ‎An argument lasted minutes. ‎ ‎The consequences lasted a lifetime. ‎ ‎A Buffalo-area woman is heading to prison for 15 years after using her car as a weapon — and killing a man. ‎ ‎Prosecutors say it started with a confrontation at a car wash in Cheektowaga. Words were exchanged. Tempers flared. A brief scuffle nearly broke out. ‎ ‎Then the men walked away. ‎ ‎That should have been the end. ‎ ‎Instead, Iyanna Scott, just 22 years old, got back into her vehicle, drove toward the men as they crossed the street — and hit one of them with her car. ‎ ‎He died from his injuries. ‎ ‎Scott later pleaded guilty to first-degree manslaughter. On Friday, a judge sentenced her to a determinate 15-year prison term, followed by five years of supervision.

 On August 6, 1945, Tsutomu Yamaguchi was on a work trip in Hiroshima when the atomic bomb exploded just 3 kilometers away.  He was burned. Temporarily blinded. His eardrums ruptured.  He survived what most didn’t.   Still bandaged and injured, he returned home to Nagasaki. Three days later, while explaining the Hiroshima blast to his supervisor, history repeated itself. At 11:02 a.m., a second atomic bomb detonated.  Yamaguchi survived again — protected by a concrete building. His wife and infant son also lived.   Decades later, Japan officially recognized him as the only person confirmed to survive both atomic bombings.  He carried radiation-related illness for life and later spoke at the UN, calling nuclear weapons “crimes against humanity.”  He didn’t beat the bombs. He lived with them — for 93 years. Tsutomu Yamaguchi’s remarkable survival story is not just one of personal resilience, but also a testament to the enduring sca...

  ‎DHS Secretary Kristi Noem Responds to Fatal ICE-Involved Shooting in Minneapolis! ‎ ‎A deadly confrontation involving federal immigration agents in Minneapolis has sparked widespread grief, anger, and national attention, reigniting long-standing debates over the use of force, federal accountability, and the reliability of official accounts when civilians are killed.

Manila, 1942. Japanese soldiers guarded checkpoints across the city. They stopped everyone. Bags were opened. Papers were checked. No one passed without being searched. Then they saw her. She was thin and weak, walking with a limp. Her hands were wrapped in cloth. Part of her face was covered. The soldiers immediately understood what it meant. Leprosy. They stepped back in fear. One waved her through. Another turned his head away. None of them touched her. What they didn’t know was that her name was Josefina Guerrero—and hidden inside her clothes were maps of Japanese military positions. If they had found them, she would have been killed. But their fear made her invisible. Just two years earlier, Josefina had been living a normal life. She was a wife and a mother, planning her future. Then she was diagnosed with leprosy. In the Philippines at that time, that meant being taken away from your family and locked in isolation. She was treated as someone no one should touch. Wh...

 On May 25, 1986, something truly remarkable unfolded across the United States. More than six million people from every walk of life joined hands, forming a single human chain stretching from New York City all the way to Long Beach, California. The event, known as Hands Across America, transformed strangers into neighbors and made hope visible. While celebrities like Michael Jackson and Lionel Richie helped shine a spotlight on the cause, the real power came from everyday people—parents and children, workers and students—standing side by side with a shared commitment to fight hunger and homelessness. For fifteen unforgettable minutes, a living ribbon of humanity crossed cities, deserts, farmland, and rivers, proving that even in a vast and diverse nation, unity is possible. The effort raised millions for food banks and housing programs, but its greatest legacy wasn’t financial. It was the message it left behind—a reminder that when we reach out and join hands, literally o...

The death of Hannah Glass, a freshman at Maranatha Baptist University, has highlighted how quickly an ordinary moment can become fatal when hidden allergens are involved. ‎ ‎Hannah was known among friends and classmates as thoughtful, gentle, and deeply committed to her faith.

A friend offered her a brownie, made with roasted peanut flour as a gluten-free alternative for others. Hannah was unaware of this ingredient, and no...
