 Former President Donald Trump appeared to fall asleep again on the fourth day of his historic hush money trial as jury selection dragged on and was finally completed. He reportedly seemed to sleep early into the court day on Friday morning – four days after first being observed nodding off in the first-ever criminal trial for a former US president. ‘Trump appears to have fallen asleep in court again. It happened several times just now,’ wrote New York Times reporter Maggie Haberman on a live blog. ‘His eyes were closed for extended periods and his head dropped down twice.’ About an hour later, Haberman wrote that ‘Trump appeared to doze off in court’ while his Trump Social social media feed sounded off ‘describing himself as being victimized by the proceedings and insisting he’s entitled to immunity in a federal case charging him with illegally trying to overturn the 2020 election’. Beside several apparent moments of dozing off, Trump appeared to follow along as the process contin...

April 19, 1775: At about 5 a.m., 700 British troops, on a mission to capture Patriot leaders and seize a Patriot arsenal, march into Lexington to find 77 armed minutemen under Captain John Parker waiting for them on the town’s common green. British Major John Pitcairn ordered the outnumbered Patriots to disperse, and after a moment’s hesitation, the Americans began to drift off the green. Suddenly, a shot was fired from an undetermined gun, and a cloud of musket smoke soon covered the green. When the brief Battle of Lexington ended, eight Americans lay dead or dying and 10 others were wounded. Only one British soldier was injured, but the American Revolution had begun. By 1775, tensions between the American colonies and the British government approached the breaking point, especially in Massachusetts, where Patriot leaders formed a shadow revolutionary government and trained militias to prepare for armed conflict with the British troops occupying Boston. In the spring of 1775, General ...

“Today my daughter changed her profile picture. After maybe 5 minutes I get a text …’ I didn’t know she was dating a black boy, did you?’ It took me all day to think up a response, which I didn’t send personally but thought I would share for anyone else that ‘may not know’. Yes in fact I did know, but the color of his skin doesn’t define who he is. What does define who is he is how he treats my daughter. I see my daughter dating a boy that comes to my house and shows me nothing but respect (a big deal in my book). It’s always Yes Ma’am, No Ma’am, we talk about football and baseball, he tells me bye when he leaves, and has not once shown me a lack of manners or respect. I see my daughter dating a boy who treats her good. He takes her on dates, to ballgames, out to eat… not to a club or partying on the weekends. I see my daughter dating a boy who takes her to church with him. Every Sunday. He plays in the band, she sits with his family. How many young men these days make church a priorit...

At my daughter's birthday dinner, a heartwarming scene unfolded that left everyone in the restaurant smiling through tears. As we celebrated, a little girl, around 3 or 4 years old, spotted my daughter entering the restaurant. With unbridled excitement, she hurried over to my daughter, her face beaming with admiration. After a sweet exchange of smiles, the little girl ran back to her parents, brimming with excitement. Moments later, the little girl returned in her father's arms, her eyes twinkling with joy. Her father approached my daughter and shared, "My daughter thinks you're a real princess and wants to give you a hug." My daughter, touched by the gesture, agreed, and the little girl embraced her tightly, radiating pure affection and wonder. The room erupted in cheers and tears as we witnessed this touching display of innocence and kindness. They captured the moment with a few photos, immortalizing the magic of that encounter. As they bid farewell, the little ...

As I sat down for lunch today, little did I know that a simple act of kindness would lead to a heartwarming connection with a stranger—a woman named Delores, whose presence would fill my afternoon with laughter, stories, and newfound friendship. It all began when I noticed an elder lady approaching the restaurant. Without hesitation, I held the door open for her, and her warm smile and gratitude set the tone for what would become a memorable encounter. She requested a table for one, and as I watched her, I felt a tug of empathy. I couldn't shake the feeling that she could use some company, someone to share a meal and conversation with. Stepping out of my comfort zone, I approached her table and made a simple offer: "I'm dining alone too. Would you like to join me for lunch?" Her eyes lit up with joy, and without hesitation, she accepted. Little did I know, this spontaneous invitation would brighten both of our days in ways we couldn't have imagined. Delores opened...
