He was having the run of his life… until one small mistake changed everything. Paul Basagoitia had already stomped a canyon backflip and was flying through one of the biggest lines at Red Bull Rampage 2015. Then he overshot a massive drop by just a few feet. His pedal clipped a bush. He went over the bars, tumbled off a ledge, and slammed onto his back. When he tried to stand up… his legs wouldn’t move. T12 burst fracture. Spinal cord damage. Helicopter. Nearly 10 hours of surgery. Doctors told him he might never walk again. That was 2015. He refused to accept it. Years of brutal rehab later, Paul walked again. Then he rode again. One inch too far. One second of bad luck. And a career — and a body — forever changed. Would you still drop in knowing this could be the price? Drop a 🔥 if you respect the fight. Drop a 🙏 for every rider who’s paid the ultimate cost for progression. Disclaimer: Based on publicly reported facts from the 2015 Red Bull Rampage and Paul Basagoitia’s own accounts.

He threw the double backflip off the biggest drop of his life… and the entire mountain went silent. Spanish free rider Adolf “Loco” Silva under-rotated on the step-down at Red Bull Rampage 2025 finals. Front wheel cased. Head slammed into the rocky landing. Body ragdolled down the slope. He didn’t move. Helicopter. Five-hour spine surgery. T2 and T3 vertebrae fractured. Dislocated all the way to T6. Broken sternum. Six broken ribs. When he woke up, he couldn’t feel anything from the chest down. That was October 2025. He’s still fighting every single day. Would you risk everything for one moment of glory… knowing this could be the price? Drop a 🔥 if you respect the courage. Or a 🙏 if you’re rooting for Loco’s recovery.

They gunned him down in a cornfield… October 22, 1934. Public Enemy No. 1. Thirty years old. Bleeding out between the stalks as the FBI closed in. Charles Arthur Floyd — the man they called “Pretty Boy” — hated that name. What he didn’t hate was robbing banks in broad daylight and, according to the people who protected him, burning the mortgage papers so struggling families could keep their land. The Depression turned him into a legend. Oklahoma called him the Robin Hood of the Cookson Hills. The FBI called him a killer. Both were right. When they finally caught him near East Liverpool, Ohio, he tried to run one last time. They shot him twice. His last words: “I’m done for.” Twenty thousand people showed up to his funeral. Was he a folk hero… or just another outlaw the hard times created? And tell me — who do you think was the real Robin Hood of the Depression? (Disclaimer: This is a historical account of a real criminal from the 1930s. It is not intended to glorify crime or violence. Floyd was responsible for multiple robberies and killings. Context of the Great Depression does not excuse his actions.)

🦉Did You Know?🦉 One Sicilian immigrant spent everything he had on a gift America never asked for. After the 1987 crash crushed Wall Street, Arturo Di Modica from Vittoria, Sicily, poured two years and nearly $350,000 of his own money into a 3½-ton bronze bull. Then, in the dead of night on December 15, 1989, he and a few friends illegally dropped it under the Christmas tree right in front of the New York Stock Exchange. By morning the police had hauled it away. By that same night, New Yorkers demanded it back. They got their wish. The Charging Bull still stands. Sometimes the greatest acts of generosity come from people who could least afford them. Did your family ever give something away they could not really afford? #ChargingBull#

🦉Did You Know?🦉 Howard Hughes wasn’t just an eccentric billionaire — he secretly helped the CIA recover a sunken Soviet submarine in one of the boldest covert ops of the Cold War. Code-named Project Azorian, it used a civilian cover story built around Hughes. 🦉 In 1968, a Soviet sub (K-129) sank in the Pacific. The CIA needed its codebooks, nukes, and intel. They approached Hughes, whose company built the Glomar Explorer — a massive ship supposedly for manganese mining. In 1974, it attempted to raise the sub. Part broke off, but they recovered bodies, torpedoes, and tech. The operation stayed hidden until leaks exposed it. Hughes provided the perfect plausible deniability for one of the most expensive and audacious intelligence missions ever. Genius, power, and secrecy — classic Hughes. True Cold War story. How deep did the billionaire’s reach go? Comment below. ⚠️Disclaimer: Based on declassified info and historical accounts. Original post.

A customer standing in Subway demanding a refund is a very specific kind of chaos, not quite "manager" energy, but definitely "this sandwich has personally wronged me" energy. Somewhere between too much mayo and not enough turkey, this became a hill worth dying on. What do you think actually went wrong with the sandwich?

Thank you so much, my dear friend CherokeeOwl 🦉🙏 Your kind words and support mean the world to me! ❤️ I completely agree — I escaped communism as a scared 17-year-old in the late 80s, arrived with almost no English, and was given a real chance at freedom in this beautiful country. I worked hard to be successful here and to contribute to this country. Then I became a proud U.S. citizen, and never stopped loving America with all my heart. This nation has welcomed and lifted up millions of legal immigrants for decades, offering opportunities that people in so many parts of the world can only dream about. Native-born Americans are truly the luckiest people on Earth — blessed with freedoms many have never even known. Let’s all cherish this incredible country and keep telling these stories so everyone remembers how special it is! 🇺🇸 Everyone: What’s YOUR American story? Share below — the more voices, the stronger our message!

Construction marker dancing like the King of Pop on the job site 🕺👷‍♂️ Asphalt moonwalk hits different! Who else grooves while they grind? Michael Jackson forever 🔥

🔥Couldn’t agree more! This kind of accountability is long overdue. Finally some real consequences for twisting the truth under oath. 👏 What other officers or officials from that day do you think should be looked into next? 🤔

🦅🇺🇸 Heroes like Lt. Dick Best are exactly what America needs more of today — real patriots with the courage to put our country first and defend it against communist threats, foreign influences that undermine our sovereignty, and globalist agendas. We need that same fighting spirit now more than ever. ❓Where are the kind of American heroes and representatives that we need the most right now to protect our nation from communists, illegal foreigners and globalists?? Where are they?? Drop your thoughts below 👇

🌎 In the late 80s I escaped communism from my birth country as a young woman, chasing freedom and a better future. For a few hours I landed in NY, barely speaking English, yet I already felt incredibly privileged just to be allowed into this amazing land. After going through immigration and fingerprinting in process of becoming a legal US resident, the immigration officer put me on a connecting flight to Chicago to finally see my mother, after 6 years apart — I was only 17. Stepping out of that airport in Chicago everything looked so different, so colorful just beautiful, and for the first time I felt real relief and peace. I learned English quickly, paid my own way through school, worked hard, climbed the ladder, and years later became a proud U.S. citizen. 🇺🇸 I respect our laws, defend the Constitution, and love this country with all my heart.♥️ America truly is the greatest — why do so many people born here not see the blessing they were given? What’s your American story?

THREE WEEKS in the hospital with ZERO real answers and his wife jets off to China to meet CCP big shots days after he’s hospitalized?! This is a national security DISASTER. Classified intel, defense secrets, Senate access … all potentially compromised while McConnell is apparently incapacitated. What the hell was Chao discussing with Beijing? And where is she NOW? America deserves PROOF OF LIFE and full transparency. 🔥WHAT IN THE HELL IS GOING ON?!? @POTUS @SecRubio

Who is running the private, unelected 4th branch of our Government? GET THEM THE HELL OUT! I’m looking at you, Tom Cotton!🫵🏻 …. with your wife’s deep CIA history as former Assistant General Counsel, are you really holding them accountable or just guarding the family business? As Senate Intelligence Committee Chairman, you’re supposed to be overseeing the CIA and the intel swamp! 🚨DO NOT BE FOOLED … TOM COTTON is DEEP STATE!

Geez, more woke pablum brought to you by ESPN it gets tiresome I like getting scores from them. Maybe read an occasional story. And stream a lot of sports, mainly SEC off whatever service I have to pay for Their shows are leftist political drivel. The WNBA issues are CC and Sophie. Blah blah blah. Plus now Mark Ogden clutching his pearls. Tightly. To his chest Mark, please hush and let us enjoy the games. From the Article: The United States men's national team had a big win Sunday without even kicking a ball. But Folarin Balogun's suspension reprieve, which allows him to play in Monday's round-of-16 clash against Belgium, is bad for the World Cup and, in the end, might also be bad for Mauricio Pochettino's team. Who wants to win if victory becomes tainted by murky interventions that take place without any explanation or transparency? FIFA's unexpected announcement Sunday, issued without fanfare on its official website and not posted on its X or Instagram accounts, said Balogun's one-match ban for his red card in the round-of-32 win against Bosnia-Herzegovina would now be suspended for one year. In other words, Balogun, who leads the U.S. with three goals at the World Cup, is free to play in the team's biggest game in a generation on Monday night in Seattle. That is the key point, and one that hints at the U.S. benefiting from special privileges. There is a process that appears to have been thrown into the bin for an outcome that suits the co-host. It has set a dangerous precedent. What happens if Lionel Messi or Kylian Mbappé receives a red card in the games to come? Will they also be given disciplinary immunity? The answer should be an unequivocal "no," but the Balogun decision has changed everything, and nobody wins -- not even the USMNT. Link to the Article in comments.

Pass the SAVE America Act NOW! 🇺🇸 The SAVE America Act requires proof of U.S. citizenship to register and photo ID to vote in federal elections. Why it matters: •Ensures only American citizens vote — closing dangerous loopholes. •Common sense: You need ID for far less important things. •80% of Americans support voter ID & citizenship checks. •Protects election integrity and restores trust in our democracy. •Directs states to remove non-citizens from voter rolls. Our elections must belong to We the People — not outsiders. Call your Senators: Pass the SAVE America Act! #SAVEAct# #SecureElections# #AmericaFirst#

This Former Elizabeth Warren Staffer Attended the Ayatollah's Funeral, and Here's What She Had to Say This is the left folks.🙄 They mourn and celebrate the life of a man who executed tens of thousands of his own people, whose only crime was wanting to be freed from the evil Iranian regime. They execute women for showing too much hair or skin. Yet people like Elizabeth Warren and her ilk won't condemn Iran's horrible behavior. How do you think they would respond if DJT acted like Khamenei?🤔 You can bet they wouldn't be praising him. 😉 The left is either so ignorant, or complete hypocrites! I am guessing they are a lot of both. Please don't let her back in the country @SecRubio From the article: We've told you about Calla Walsh, the former staffer for Elizabeth Warren, and her radical views on Islam (she loves it) and America (she hates it). Turns out Walsh attended the funeral for Iran's Ayatollah Khamenei, the brutal Islamist dictator who killed tens of thousands of Iranian protesters and oppressed women for years. That doesn't seem to matter to Leftists like Walsh, however, because her desire to destroy America outweighs all concerns. Former Dem political darling Calla Walsh attended attended the funeral for slain Supreme Leader Ali Khamenei on Saturday, declaring that he was the “greatest anti-imperialist leader” in a propaganda video while covering up in a hijab and traditional garb. Walsh, 22, who has been previously arrested for antisemitic vandalism in the US, spoke with Iran’s PressTV to talk about her attendance at Khamenei’s funeral over the weekend, where she hailed him as a heroic figure standing up to America and Israel. “He was a leader to all people of the world who struggle against imperialism, arrogance, against Zionism, against genocide,” she said. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Against genocide?? Oh please! 🙄 He is 100% guilty of that! ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ article continues.... “To me, he was the greatest anti-imperialist leader to have lived during my lifetime.” It’s the latest extremist turn for Walsh, the daughter of a Boston University English professor and a Harvard writing teacher. She attended prestigious prep schools and was praised in Democratic circles for her activism beginning when she was just 14. He saw the murders of tens of thousands of Iranians, but yes, he's against 'genocide.' It's diseased and twisted. But this is what the American Left is now. In 2021, she became the youngest delegate at the Democratic Socialists of America’s national convention and left the organization that same year over its “Zionism”. The DSA, the leftmost significant organization in American politics was insufficiently anti-Israel for a 17-year-old from Cambridge. By 2022 she’d abandoned electoral politics entirely after breaking with Markey over Israel; by 2023 she identified as a communist. And she has named her own accelerant, and it wasn’t a book or a lecture: “being in the streets” during the 2020 riots “was truly the most radicalizing thing that ever happened to me … I was in the streets realizing, ‘Oh, we have to fight the police.”Anyone designing a counter-radicalization strategy aimed at foreign influence or online jihadist content would have missed her completely, because at this point in the story she hasn’t encountered either. While Walsh is one of the most vocal and known Leftists, she's not alone. She's part of a larger system that seeks to radicalize young women and men into socialism with the express goal of destroying America. Link to article in comments
