This is such a good read and so true for today’s times.
A farmer, tired of rats destroying his crops and stealing his grain, came up with a clever but cruel plan. He threw a dead pig into a deep, abandoned well. Attracted by the smell, nearly 80 rats rushed into the well to feast on the carcass. At first, everything seemed wonderful. There was more than enough food for everyone, and the rats ate until they were satisfied.
But when the food was gone, they discovered something terrifying. The walls of the well were too steep to climb. They were trapped. Days passed, and hunger turned into desperation. Desperation turned into aggression. The rats that had once eaten peacefully beside one another began fighting for survival. Eventually, they began killing and eating each other.
One by one, their numbers dwindled until only a single rat remained. Its eyes were bloodshot, and it had survived by consuming its own kind. Then the farmer returned, lowered a rope into the well, and rescued the last surviving rat. But he didn't save it out of kindness or compassion.
The farmer knew the rat had learned to survive by hunting other rats. When he released it into his fields, it would continue killing its own kind instead of eating his grain. The farmer had turned his enemy into his greatest weapon.
And that is the lesson of divide and conquer. Those who control the trap don't need to fight the battles themselves. They simply create the conditions in which others turn against one another.
The rats believed their enemies were the other rats. They never realized that the true enemy was the farmer who had put them there.
The greatest danger isn't always the enemy standing in front of you. Sometimes it's the one who created the conflict and stands quietly watching you destroy each other.
Before you turn against your neighbor because of their political beliefs, ask yourself who benefits from keeping Americans divided. While we fight each other over Republican and Democrat, we may be overlooking those who profit from the conflict. Perhaps the real question isn't which side you're on, but who built the well—and why they want us fighting at the bottom of it.

Remember the name Kaylub Giamanco. A carpenter. A father. An armed citizen who heard gunfire and went toward the danger.
According to reporting, the 36-year-old father of two was driving home for lunch when he heard shots near Silver Rail Elementary School in Bend, Oregon, where his children attend. Carrying a concealed firearm with a permit, he followed the gunman inside and fatally shot him, ending the attack. In those terrible moments, an ordinary working man accepted an extraordinary risk to protect children.
That deserves recognition without hesitation or embarrassment. Responsible gun ownership has a human face. Here, it is the face of a father who had both the means to intervene and the courage to act. The right to keep and bear arms includes the ability to defend innocent life when danger arrives and every second matters.
Three children, ages 5, 8 and 11, and a teacher were killed. A seven-year-old child who uses a wheelchair was shot in the face and hospitalized. Those losses and injuries must remain at the center of this story. No tribute can erase the suffering of these families.
According to his brother, Giamanco is struggling with guilt because he could not save more people. That is a heartbreaking burden for a man who risked his own life to stop the killing.
Kaylub, the responsibility for this atrocity belongs to the person who committed it. You deserve gratitude, support and the time and care needed to live with what you witnessed.
We cannot know how many additional lives your intervention protected. We can recognize the courage it took to enter that school and confront an armed attacker.
America should honor that courage. Defending the Second Amendment and protecting children belong in the same conversation. So do secure schools, responsible firearm storage, effective law enforcement and the determination to confront threats before families are left grieving.
A carpenter went out for lunch and found himself facing a nightmare. He stepped forward when innocent people needed help.
You are a hero, Kaylub. May your community stand beside you with the same resolve you showed when you stood up for its children.
Funny how a Democrat president can allow millions of people to enter our country illegally, then fly them to cities all across the country, register them to vote, give them a drivers license, Social Security, Medicare, SNAP, free housing and education all at American taxpayers expense, and nobody on the judiciary bats an eye.
But the minute a Republican president tries to remove the people who came here illegally, remove them from voter rolls, Social Security, Medicare, SNAP, public housing, public education and revoke their drivers license, a Democrat appointed judge automatically steps in to delay and block it.
This double standard, like the current federal judiciary, is a damn joke.
If you’re sick tired of this double standard and of Democrat activists cosplaying as federal judges, stop voting for damn Democrats!
Vote Red! Vote Republican! 🚫🫏
Now the truth finally comes out that the state of New York wants the Amish people‘s properties and land so they can build their data centers. How disgusting 🤮
 The Amish of Central New York told the seditious Governor Kathy Hochul they would pack up, abandon their farms and leave if the Governor tried forcing vaccines on their children. The Governor fined them over $100,000 and demanded they comply anyway.
When the Amish decided to fight back, taking the wicked Governor to court, Hochul's minion Senator Fahy drew up even more legislation to pressure them to leave, attacking their children again, this time through an anti-homeschooling bill.
Tens of thousands of acres of cleared Amish farmland are at stake. The Amish have spent decades clearing their land by hand and horse. The hard work has been done.
But if the Governor has her way, the Amish will be forced to sell that cleared land to the solar farms and data centers knocking on the doors for it.
Who will help the Amish stand up to this maniacal Governor? We need to expose this on social media and we need to get the right people involved to represent the Amish and help them fight This evil demonic power and control of New York. 
🚨#BREAKING: Outrage is erupting after a Colorado dad who helped his son become the YOUNGEST PERSON EVER to reach the top of Yosemite’s El Capitan...
...was REPORTED TO CHILD PROTECTIVE SERVICES for letting him do it.
Yes, you read that right.
His name is Joe Evermore, his son is Joey “Danger” Evermore.
Yes, Danger is his real middle name 🤣
Joey started the climb at 6 years old and he turned 7 HALFWAY UP THE WALL.
On May 20th, after FIVE DAYS on a 3,000-foot granite face, he reached the summit.
His older brothers, Sam and Sylvan, had both done it at 8, Joey beat them both.
By the way... this was not a stunt thrown together over a weekend, it was a rope ascent with a full support team.
Joe says his son was anchored to the wall the entire way, and that he managed the risks with a team, preparation, and training.
In his dad’s words: “In a way he’s the least afraid that we’ve ever seen.”
After the story went global, the comments turned ugly.
Joe says people told him his kids would be better off in FOSTER CARE... and then came the CPS reports.
Not one. MULTIPLE.
Joe says the family then got a LETTER from Child Protective Services.
CPS had reviewed the complaints... and DECLINED to pursue them (the right move)
Joe’s words: “they just don’t understand what’s dangerous and what’s not dangerous.”
So true... people let their kids have live access to anything and everything on the internet, but as soon as they see a brave kid doing something OUTSIDE, people lose their minds.
Childhood is being slowly destroyed by people who don't know what danger really is.
This man did nothing wrong and that boy is a LEGEND!!!!
Imagine that all the ignorant Keffiyeh wearing college students, liberals and Hollywood dolts are now cheering for this and supporting muslims that treat women like slaves. They even elected a Hamas supporting muslim to be the mayor of the largest city in the U.S. and have elected six muslims to Congress and want to elect one to be a Senator. The same AWFL's that cheered the assassination of Charlie Kirk, want Trump to be killed and apparently think it OK for Lindsey Clancy to murder her 3 children.
I wonder if they know that muslim men are allowed to beat and rape their wives, that they practice female genital mutilation (look it up, it's horrific) and that they are even allowed to kill their wives or daughters if they “dishonor“ the family. They allow Polygamy and Pedophilia and still practice slavery. They are actually not even a religion because all those practices are against the law in every western country in the world. Stop the insanity of allowing muslim immigration because we are watching in real time how it is destroying societies and culture all over Europe and it is, like a cancer, growing quickly and metastasizing here.
Woman in America who grew up in a Muslim family in the Middle East warns America about living under Sharia Law
- “When I hit puberty in grade 5, I was no longer allowed to go outside, I was not allowed to ride a bike anymore because in case of a fall or something, the bike will go right up your….. and you will no longer be a virgin
- I was not allowed to ride horses because also the horse could potentially, you know, when you fall….
- I was not allowed to leave the house without a male guardian
- If I ever go outside with my dad to a grocery store or something, I have to stay in the car in case there's men in the store that will look at me
- One time I was accused of meeting up with a guy at a supermarket in Jordan — my dad came home and he had a chain and he chained me for 3 days like a dog
- My dad used to beat me when I was a kid, he would tell me to take off my clothes, just stay in my sports bra and my underwear, and he would tie me to a chair and then he'd beat me with a stick that I'd have to pick out because he would literally go shopping for sticks
- She says if you are a woman and experience sexual assault they just say you made it up
- She says she wasn’t allowed to do what she wanted in school, there are strict career paths a woman is allowed to take
“There's so many things that made me hate myself because of this religion”
“I have no desire to ever, ever, ever revisit the Quran, the deen, go inside of a mosque. I do not care. You'll find me in a church”
This is what the Democrat Party is aligning with. If you vote Democrat you will eventually be living under Sharia law
Trump put a bounty on the war. $5000 to every citizen if we take the House and the Senate. That check is not a gift. It is spoil from the fight against the communist Left.
My Marine buddies and I do not give a damn about the price of fuel. The enemy is already inside the wire. Islamist Marxists are taking this country one city at a time. Big cities first. Your town is next.
Quit dooming. Quit sitting home. If they take the midterms, your bitching ends. The same scumbags waving Hamas flags and screaming "globalize the intifada" will call it hate, kill the platform, and dare you to speak. A doomer telling people to stay home is doing their work for them.
They never blink when your money leaves the country. They only scream when it comes home. Fuel prices move. A city that no longer answers to Americans does not come back.
Get off your ass and vote. Take both chambers. Then primary every RINO who will not fight. We the People against the machine. No more retreat. Hold the line.
SOME OF YOU NEED TO HEAR THIS:
President Trump is the President. He is not your personal financial manager.
It's not President Trump's fault that you:
• Bought a $70K truck on an 84-month loan you couldn't afford.
• Carry $15K in credit-card debt buying wants instead of needs.
• DoorDash dinner while complaining groceries are expensive.
• Upgrade your $1,200 phone every two years.
• Pay for 7 subscriptions you barely use.
• Took a mortgage at the absolute limit the bank would approve.
• Spend thousands every year on alcohol, vaping, gambling or other habits.
• Take vacations on credit and pay for them for the next 18 months.
• Never built an emergency fund when times were good.
• Increased your lifestyle every time your income increased instead of building assets.
Yes, housing is expensive. Groceries are expensive. Insurance is expensive. Healthcare is expensive.
Government policy matters.
But PERSONAL DECISIONS matter too.
No President can sign an Executive Order fixing 20 years of your financial habits.
Sometimes Washington needs accountability.
Sometimes the person in the mirror does too.
Colleen Slemmer was only 19 years old when she was murdered. Her death was not quick. She endured a prolonged attack lasting roughly 30 to 45 minutes.
She was beaten, repeatedly cut and slashed, and suffered extensive injuries while she was still alive. She tried to defend herself and escape, and she begged for the attack to stop.
A pentagram was carved into her chest, and ultimately massive blunt-force trauma to her head killed her.
What happened afterward makes the crime even more disturbing. Christa Pike removed a piece of Colleen’s skull and kept it as a souvenir. She returned to the Job Corps center, showed it to another student, and talked about the killing.
The Tennessee Supreme Court later described Pike as having “gleefully recounted” the murder.
Colleen was not simply a name attached to a famous death-row case. She was a 19-year-old woman who spent the final moments of her life fighting to survive, trying to escape, and begging for mercy.
The brutality she endured, followed by Pike’s documented behavior immediately afterward, is an important part of Colleen’s story that should never be forgotten 🙏💔
Don't ever forget the Democrats fired tens of thousands of Americans for being unvaccinated while they flooded our country with tens of thousands of unvaccinated illegal aliens. Don't forget this when you vote in November. Vote Red.
@RedEagleUpdates YES, I support passing the SAVE ACT—if it takes allowing dead people and illegals to vote in order for Democrats to win then we have a real problem in this country. It’s time to stop lying to people Chuck Schumer. That will be your legacy when you are gone…
Lenin did his homework. Capture the schools and you capture the country in a generation. Blue-state teachers unions have been running that play for decades and plenty of red-state districts still let the same curriculum, unions and activist administrators set the defaults.
Kids are taught grievance before grammar, identity before history and that the country they live in is the problem. That’s not education. That’s succession planning.
