There is no one better to lead ICE’s VOICE office than @angeldadjoe. Since his daughter, Katie, was murdered by an illegal alien drunk driver in a hit-and-run in sanctuary Illinois, he has been a staunch advocate for victims of illegal alien crime. In his new role, he will continue to help families who have lost a loved one to a preventable tragedy caused by open-border policies.

Lupita Nyong'o sums up the real tragedy of Nolan’s Odyssey, says Joanna Gray, after the Helen of Troy actress admitted she "really had no idea what The Odyssey was". But could the film reawaken interest in the classics?

This heinous attack motivated by politics should never happen in America. We must give hate and extremism no safe harbor and we must all unite against political violence as a nation. Jill and I are sending strength to everyone affected by this senseless tragedy during an unimaginable time.

For the first time since Nolan Wells’ mysterious death, his grieving friends are speaking out about the tragedy and the questions that followed. Wells vanished during a Fourth of July group trip to Horn Island involving three boats. His phone made it back to mainland without him, and his body was found in the water two days later. A grand jury ultimately found no evidence of criminal conduct and said the circumstances were consistent with drowning. Now, his friends say they’re trying to pick up the pieces, leaning on their faith and thinking about Nolan every day while also coping with thousands of death threats. Hear what they’re saying now and how they’re remembering their friend in the full exclusive sit-down with @kayleighmcenany on @SatAmericaFNC.

Billy Mills: The Dream That Refused to Die There was a time when a young man sat alone in a hotel room, convinced his life had no meaning and no future. The pain of loss, rejection, and loneliness had become so overwhelming that he saw no place for himself in the world. That young man was Billy Mills. Born in 1938, Mills was a member of the Oglala Lakota Nation and grew up on South Dakota's Pine Ridge Reservation, one of the most impoverished regions in America. Tragedy struck early. His mother passed away when he was eight years old, and by twelve he had lost his father as well. In just a few years, he became an orphan. Before he died, Billy's father left him with words that would stay with him forever: "Your wings are broken now, son. But one day, you may soar with the wings of an eagle." Those words became a guiding light. Billy discovered a talent for running and eventually earned a scholarship to the University of Kansas. Yet success did not shield him from prejudice. On one occasion, a photographer preparing a team picture reportedly told him to step aside because of the color of his skin. The rejection cut deep. Combined with years of hardship and discrimination, it pushed him toward one of the darkest moments of his life. Alone in a hotel room near Louisville, he came close to giving up entirely. Then something happened. Whether it was memory, instinct, or something spiritual, he felt his father's presence. A single word echoed through his mind: "Don't." Instead of surrendering, Billy grabbed a pen and wrote down an impossible dream: "Olympic gold medal. 10,000 meters." At the time, there was no reason to believe it would ever happen. He wasn't the world's best runner. He wasn't even considered a serious Olympic contender. But from that night forward, he chased that dream with everything he had. Around the same period, he met Patricia, the woman who would become his wife in 1962. Through every challenge, she remained a source of strength and stability in his life. After college, Mills joined the United States Marine Corps as an officer while continuing to train. His path was anything but easy. He battled hypoglycemia and diabetes, conditions that often drained his energy during long-distance races. Yet he remained determined to compete in the event many believed he was least suited for: the 10,000-meter run. Against the odds, he qualified for the 1964 U.S. Olympic Team. Few people paid attention. His personal best was nearly a minute slower than the world record held by Australia's legendary Ron Clarke. When the team arrived in Tokyo, some officials didn't even consider him important enough to receive the same level of equipment given to expected medal contenders. Billy Mills was not expected to win. On October 14, 1964, nearly forty athletes gathered on a damp cinder track inside Tokyo's National Stadium. From the start, Ron Clarke drove the pace hard. One by one, runners fell behind. Amazingly, Billy Mills stayed with the leaders. As the race entered its final stages, only three men remained in contention: Clarke, Tunisia's Mohamed Gammoudi, and Mills. Then disaster struck. While navigating through lapped runners during the final lap, Mills was bumped and lost momentum. Gammoudi surged ahead. Mills dropped back. His blood sugar was crashing. His vision began to blur. The cameras focused on the favorites. Nobody was watching Billy Mills. Then, with roughly 100 meters remaining, he glanced toward another runner and believed he saw the image of an eagle. Instantly, his father's words returned: "The wings of an eagle." A thought flashed through his mind: "I can win." Mills moved into an open lane and unleashed the most powerful sprint of his life. The television commentators were still describing the battle between Clarke and Gammoudi when analyst Dick Bank suddenly shouted the words that would become famous: "Look at Mills! Look at Mills!" In an astonishing burst, Mills flew past both men. He crossed the finish line first. Time: 28:24.4 Olympic Record. Not only had he won gold, but he had shattered expectations and produced one of the greatest upsets in Olympic history. To this day, Billy Mills remains the only American ever to win Olympic gold in the men's 10,000-meter run. After the race, he searched for the runner whose uniform supposedly displayed the eagle. There wasn't one. No eagle had been there. The image existed only in his mind. The strength he needed had been within him all along. Mills' remarkable journey later inspired the 1983 film Running Brave. He entered multiple halls of fame and received numerous honors throughout his life. In 2012, President Barack Obama awarded him the Presidential Citizens Medal. More than half a century after his victory, he returned to the Olympic stage in Paris in 2024 to donate his historic Team USA tracksuit to the Olympic Museum. Yet Billy Mills often says the greatest reward was never the gold medal. It was healing. The race in Tokyo helped him overcome years of pain and self-doubt. It proved that the dream he had written down during his darkest hour had been worth believing in. In keeping with Lakota tradition, Mills chose to share his blessings with others. In 1986, he co-founded Running Strong for American Indian Youth, an organization that continues to provide food, water, housing assistance, and opportunities to Native communities across the United States. Today, Billy Mills continues to inspire people around the world. Alongside Patricia, his wife of more than six decades, he has spent his later years encouraging young people to dream beyond their circumstances. His greatest victory was not defeating Ron Clarke or Mohamed Gammoudi. It was defeating the voice that told him he didn't belong. And after winning that battle, he dedicated his life to making sure others never had to fight it alone.
