Good morning, America! While you were all sleeping, the Radical Democrats advanced a plan that will be known as the $3.5 trillion Communist Plan to Destroy America. This legislation is an assault on our Nation, on our communities, and on the American Dream.  
                                                          
It destroys our Borders and the rule of law by granting dangerous amnesty that will flood America’s beautiful cities. It will overwhelm our schools, and make our Nation less safe. It raises taxes like we have never seen, while also making many things you buy everyday more expensive (gas, groceries, and much more). And don’t forget the crazy Green New Deal. America, you are being robbed in the dark of night. It’s time to wake up!

🙏🥇How a volunteer helped a Jamaican hurdler win a Tokyo Olympics gold medal

If you are losing faith in human nature, take your time, it's not that bad.

A typical situation for many: you are lost in a foreign country. But what if you are an Olympic athlete and are in a hurry to compete?

This happened to Jamaican hurdler Hansle Parchment several days ago in Tokyo: he confused the road to the stadium. When he realized that he couldn't get there using official Tokyo 2020 transport, a volunteer named Tiana came to the rescue and gave him money for a taxi. The 31-year-old athlete, who had never won an Olympic gold medal before, managed to get to the competition on time and eventually took first place!

Of course, he later tracked the woman and returned her the money for the taxi. In addition, the athlete gave her an Olympic jersey, and the Minister of Tourism of Jamaica intends to host her on a trip to the Caribbean country.

What a happy ending!
