An 8-year-old girl won a plank competition with 33 minutes, but instead of celebrating her achievement, adults rushed to comfort a boy who came THIRD and threw a tantrum over losing. This is how boys learn entitlement from childhood. No wonder incels can't handle rejection as adults.
Eight-year-old Mila Medvedeva won the women's plank category at amateur competitions in Moscow, holding the position for 33 minutes. But after the tournament, more attention went not to her, but to the boy who dropped out earlier and didn't make it to the finals.
Many commentators note that the boy, who lasted about 20 minutes, also deserves support. However, in their opinion, his defeat received far more attention than Mila's victory.

Israel just murdered a doctor featured in the film about Israel murdering doctors
My colleague and friend Dr. Rizk Abu Shaaira was killed yesterday at work when Israel, backed by the US as always, bombed the surgical recovery room at Nasser Medical Complex. Two of his colleagues were badly injured, and many patients were hurt and killed. Dr. Rizk is featured on the original poster for the documentary American Doctor, standing to my right as we did a redo laparotomy on a disaster abdomen.
Dr. Rizk was one of those surgeons we describe as "super enthusiastic". On rounds he would jump at the opportunity to change a dressing, clean a wound, or pull a drain. He always had an answer to any question anyone asked. He embodied the surgical wisdom that "a chance to cut is a chance to cure."
Dr. Rizk's shocking murder is yet another reminder of why we must get control of our country. Our government has no right to force us to subsidize the mass murder of doctors and children, not in Palestine and not anywhere.

Keep telling Stay-At-Home-Moms how little you actually value what they do, and then wonder why no young women want to do it...
This is a MAJOR problem with Stay at Home Moms (SAHM) , and I'm sorry ladies but the problem is very likely YOU.
First off, it goes without saying that childbirth and breastfeeding is an incredible strain on the mother and women are amazing for doing it.
But, I'm sorry, NO childcare is not an equal trade for your husbands job.
I see this all the time with friends and other dads online.
The mom equates raising the kid with the man's job, and then believes the rest of the duties should be split.
Ur completely delusional.
Childcare is valued at $2000-$2500/mo. It's a minimum wage job.
A house cleaner is valued at $2800/mo. It's also around a minimum wage job.
So combine them both together and the value the SAHM is contributing to the household is around $60k/yr.
Guess what? If you are a SAHM, your husband is likely pulling in $150k/yr+.
So the market is saying your husbands work (after taxes) is TWICE as valuable as you raising the kid and doing ALL the house chores.
It's priceless that you get to raise your kid and give them a ton of attention that they wouldn't get at daycare.
It's priceless that you're husband makes enough that it's even possible for you to be a SAHM.
Meanwhile, I see dad's contributing more than ever.
I personally wake up, make the kids breakfast, take them to school, do a full-time job, and then try to help out around the house some when I get home. I take the kids to dance and sports after work.
And I know for many other dad's with SAHM, they are doing this too.
And it's so sad the amount of times I hear SAHM leave the laundry, the dishes, all the house chores to be done after the husband gets home from work.
Because "childcare is a full-time job" and the rest should be 50/50. No ladies, go get a $150k/yr+ job, put your kid in daycare, and then the rest can be 50/50.
This woman's example is extreme, at least how she's framing it, but sorry ladies, the problem is indeed you in about 80% of these situations.

3 women in Illinois have come forward to describe years of abuse at the hands of a youth pastor at the Salvation Army church when they were 11 to 13 years old.
In 2003, the predator pastor Brian Davis pleaded guilty to criminal sexual abuse and served only 2 months in prison.
The women say the grooming, physical touching, and assaults happened on church property or in a vehicle when they were minors, and they tried to report the abuse many times, but say they were ignored.
2 of the women filed civil lawsuits against the organization, with the 3rd planning to file.

A traveling pastor was sentenced to 3 life sentences without parole in Tennessee after he was found guilty of raping 3 girls.
Benjamin Garlick, 35, was convicted on 7 counts of aggravated rape of a child, 6 counts of aggravated sexual battery, 1 count of solicitation of a minor, and 2 counts of violating the Child Protection Act.
His wife Shaantal Garlick, 32, was also found guilty of 2 counts of facilitating aggravated rape of a child and 2 counts of aggravated child neglect.
She was sentenced to 25 years in prison.
The Garlicks were evangelist predators using religion to prey on Spanish-speaking communities. At least 3 victims between the ages of 5 and 8 years old have been identified.
They operated out of Murfreesboro, Tennessee, traveling nationwide as part of a ministry aimed at Latinos and immigrant communities.
The couple moved around the USA extensively to conduct guest sermons and run youth programs across states like Texas, Florida, Alabama, Arkansas, Indiana, and Minnesota, primarily in Spanish-speaking congregations.
Investigators believe there could be more victims that haven't come forward yet.
I’m not saying I know the teacher here, because I don’t, but it is not unusual to have world language teachers who have become certified teachers through alternate routes. That means they often don’t know all of the things they should know about the job.
Teacher won't let girl use bathroom—unless she "proves" she's on her period.
Made her open up calendar app on phone to show proof.
"Now everyone at school can track what time she's going through things—that ain't right!" dad says.
Then teacher took girl into a closet alone and yelled at her for "getting her in trouble" with the principal.
"To me that's retaliation on top of everything else—just for speaking up for herself," dad said.
"She feels humiliated."
The school issued a statement saying it was aware of a parent complaint—but further details will not be shared.
Incident occurred during a Spanish class at Currituck High School in Barco, North Carolina.
Posting first full length and credited video to WAVY NEWS here to help raise awareness.

Ages ago, I taught with a Spanish teacher who was charging students $1 to go to the bathroom in a private school. I had to explain to her how that was opening the school up to lawsuits and that she needed to stop. She didn’t believe me, and the principal had to step in.

11/12/26 – Capitol Hill: Today, I asked Senator Mitch McConnell whether he was aware of reports that his longtime personal physician, Rear Admiral Brian Monahan, had been removed from his position by the Navy.
Senator McConnell did not respond to my question.
The inquiry follows allegations involving the treatment and assignment of Navy sailors serving in the Office of the Attending Physician, which provides medical services to members of Congress.
I will continue seeking answers regarding the Navy’s actions and the findings of any official investigation.

In a normal world, where two insiders weren't negotiating side deals for themselves and their boss, the U.S. would send diplomatic, political, military and intelligence experts. But this is why America and Ukraine can't have nice things. Yes, that's a Putin-assigned translator.
Steve Witkoff and Jared Kushner met Vladimir Putin at the Kremlin.
Putin proposed a humanitarian mission from Konstantynivka, based on Avdiivka. Russia needs 5 days to clear mines there. Foreign troops in Ukraine would be a legitimate target. The only demarcation line Russia recognizes is the state border.
Witkoff: The upcoming Russia-Ukraine prisoner exchange shows progress. He will brief Zelensky on the meeting.
Kushner: The U.S. has begun discussing European security architecture with Europe.

"We're seeing extensive preparations by the US: it is moving large numbers of troops into the region and putting its embassies on high alert," he tells i24NEWS minutes ago.
The US warned Israel an hour ago to prepare for a renewed full-scale war against Iran.

We have detected speed restrictions on Starshield on our Ukrainian territory – in the temporarily occupied parts of Ukraine. The speed limit is back at 161 kilometers per hour – that’s 100 miles per hour.
This directly affects our ability to intercept Russian jet-powered “shahed” drones. These drones come from those areas, and because of the speed restrictions, we simply cannot catch up with them in time.
Near the frontline, we cannot use our aircraft. Only drone interceptors can operate there. And without the speed we need, shooting down these “shaheds” becomes much harder.
This means more Russian strikes get through, and more of our people are killed by Russia. We are trying to get the details from the American side, but so far, we know very little.
If someone in America is making decisions that basically treat Ukrainian territory as if it is not Ukrainian, then this tells us where things are going. We need to be clear and never recognize Russia’s occupation of Ukrainian territory in any way.

The Boston butt roast I found on clearance at the store on Tuesday cooked on the slow cooker setting overnight since the pressure cooker seal failed on the multicooker, and it turned out so tender and yummy! Biscuits, gravy, and shredded pork made a lovely lunch. Extra, too!

NEW: Javier Milei, who once called Pope Francis “the representative of evil on Earth,” fought back tears as he saw Pope Leo XIV off at Ezeiza airport on Wednesday.
Over four days, Leo had challenged Milei’s austerity agenda again and again, telling him to his face that “the economy must serve the person” and reminding his government that private property carries a “social mortgage.”
That morning, Leo had embraced inmates at Devoto prison, where Francis used to wash prisoners’ feet.
From the plane to Peru, the pope wrote that Argentina now has two popes, one by birth and one by adoption. thelettersfromleo.com/p/in-f…

Trump and Hegseth don’t give a shit about the troops. They left them in exposed and vulnerable areas at the outset of the Iran war, keep them deployed for excessive amounts of time, and impose political and religious indoctrination.
🚨🚨 Military families ERUPTED in anger at a Navy town hall after learning their loved ones fighting Trump's Iran war won't be home for the holidays.
Families described broken equipment, worsening conditions, and a mental health crisis. One spouse said her husband had contemplated suicide FOUR TIMES and was denied help. ms.now/news/navy-iran-war-us…

Public lands provide 1000x more value to our nation than any sell-off would bring.
Public lands were not created for one-time disposal to fund the government.
The backlash from this will be substantial. And it should be.
NEWS: The Trump administration is officially planning to sell off public lands.
The Interior Department publicly laid out a strategy to reduce the amount of federal lands by selling property to states, tribes, and local governments.
