A drunken driver's car crash left him paralyzed. Now he's a Paralympian. Steve Emt was a walk-on basketball player at the University of Connecticut before a drunk driving accident changed the direction of his life.

Good for him but this is nothing to celebrate. Perhaps if he didn't kill anyone when he had his accident. A very good friend of ours, the father of two young daughters was murdered by a drunk driver 30 years ago. It was a devastating loss. He never went to prison.

But we can do it. We can heal. And healing takes many different forms. This looks like healing to me. Please read carefully and take pause and consideration before commenting.

I have made my amends with those I hurt through my addiction but the true pain of regret will never really fade. Alcoholism is an awful disease. It takes so much strength to pull ourselves out to the pit of addiction.

I am a recovered alcoholic. I was a blackout drunk for 25 years. A breast cancer diagnosis finally pushed me to pour everything down the sink and walk away from it. I did. I will never drink again. I never physically injured anyone other than myself during my addiction, and for that I have no words.

These are wild times when a funeral service is the most inspiring thing you’ve seen all week.

Grateful for this man’s leadership.

“Like I said, some people will die. When you go to war, some people will die.”

That’s what the President of the United States is saying to the American people.

He won’t be hurt by a retaliatory attack or high gas prices. But you will — and that’s a sacrifice he’s willing to make.

How can Iran unconditionally surrender to a Not War?

Russia is aiding Iran’s war effort by providing intel on US military targets, sources say | CNN Politics Russia is providing Iran with intelligence about the locations and movements of American troops, ships and aircraft, according to multiple people familiar with US intelligence reporting on the issue, ...

Super shocking. Given that Russia helped our enemies during Vietnam, Korea, and both gulf wars, who could have guessed this would happen. www.cnn.com/2026/03/06/p...

Wars Often Lose Public Support Over Time. Trump Started This One Without Much.

Americans skipped the rally-around-the-president stage this time. JFK gained 13 points after Cuban Missile Crisis, LBJ 8 after bombing Hanoi, GHW Bush 18 during Gulf War, GW Bush 8 after Saddam captured, Obama 11 after OBL killed. Trump gained 0 since Iran. www.nytimes.com/2026/03/06/u...

So Iran now has, perhaps for the first time, information about the location of our most sensitive covert sites in the region.

A completely foreseeable, unnecessary consequence of unnecessary war with Iran.

If it’s true that the United States bombed an elementary school and killed scores of children it is an unfathomable crime. I have never been more disgusted to be an American.

Elders skipping groceries. Families hiding. Food shelves in crisis. Those are human alarms, and Trump doesn’t even seem to hear them, because acknowledging them would require empathy, and empathy would interfere with his performance. $38,365 raised of $50K

Hegseth: "The dumb, politically correct wars of the past were the opposite of what we're doing here. They had vague objections with restrictive, minimalist rules of engagement. No more."

A note from a student that reads "I think you should get ICE out of Minnesota. They are taking people from their homes. One of my friends had to move to Texas because she was scared that ICE will take her and her family. I have not seen her in two month! So... you should get rid of ICE!

Hand delivered, written by a Minnesota student. Just an absolute gut punch. Where is our humanity?

Free and fair elections are the cornerstone of our democracy. But right now, they’re under attack.

Several Republican-controlled states have redrawn their congressional maps to give themselves an unfair advantage in the midterm elections.

Hear me out. I'm an atheist and have been for a long time. James Talarico is the ONLY religious leader to call out the fake "Christians" and point out their hypocrisy. Talarico is the first candidate I've seen that can explain why separation of church and state are so important. I believe him.
