On the eve of the annual Army-Navy football game‚ Senator Joni Ernst (R-IA) — who served in the U.S. military for 23 years‚ including as a company commander in Kuwait and Iraq — fired off a letter to President Biden because of reports that military families hoping to attend the game could not book reservations at local hotels as they were being used to house illegal immigrants‚ and some reservations had been canceled for that reason. In early October‚ CBS News reported that three hotels owned by Giri Hotel Management‚ according to travel agent Mark Mansbach‚ were working with the state of Massachusetts to house illegal immigrants. “His clients’ previously booked hotel rooms were canceled to continue the lease with the state. Mansbach said at least 70 of his reservations were impacted‚” CBS News reported. “Your border policies are failing‚ and it is abundantly clear change is needed‚” Ernst wrote Biden. “Your failed policies are directly harming military families. … As you may know‚ this is an event for which ‘tens of thousands of veterans will pour into the greater Boston area’ hoping to celebrate America’s Game.” “It’s clear: these cancellations are due to your administration’s decision to ship illegal immigrants across the country to sanctuary cities at taxpayers’ expense‚” she continued. “The Army-Navy Game is not a trivial thing‚” she declared. “It fosters esprit de corps between American military families‚ potential future servicemembers‚ and the Armed Forces. This is an imperative when the military is faced with the worst recruiting crisis in decades‚ in part driven by your politicization of it.” “Of the five Defense Department service branches‚ only two met their active-duty enlisted recruiting goals for fiscal [year] 2023 — the Marine Corps and the Space Force‚ by far the smallest services with the lightest recruiting burden‚” she noted. “What’s more‚ military families attending the game often use it to interest their children in a career in the Armed Services.” “Not only is this game a recruitment mechanism‚ those of us who have served know it is truly an opportunity to showcase America’s finest—the incredible young servicemembers who have stepped forward to serve their country—the Corps of Cadets and Brigade of Midshipmen‚” she continued. “The Army-Navy Game gives attendees—many of whom are veterans themselves—the opportunity to honor the next generation of our fighting men and women‚ as well as our nation.” CLICK HERE TO GET THE DAILYWIRE+ APP “It is flatly unacceptable for our veterans and military families to be displaced because of your administration’s failure to secure our southern border. Military families who have scrimped and saved to be able to afford a trip to the Army-Navy game should not have to compete with illegal immigrants for hotel room space‚” she concluded.

No matter your age or experiences‚ starting a new job can be anxiety-inducing. Imagine‚ then‚ what it must have been like for 15-year-old Jackson Teran to find himself in a life-threatening situation at work. In fact‚ the event took place on his fourth day as a busboy at Carnivore and the Queen‚ a restaurant in Chicago. For a while‚ Jackson’s day was totally normal. Then‚ an alarming sound caught his attention. A nearby customer had begun to choke‚ and panic was rising in everyone who was nearby. This brave busboy‚ however‚ remained focused on the important task ahead: saving the choking man’s life. YouTube “I noticed a man‚ he was choking and I noticed a noise‚ so I looked over there just to make sure everything was alright‚” Jackson recalled. “I rushed over there and saw his face was getting red and I asked if he was OK and he started shaking his head.” Busboy Saved the Life of a Choking Man Despite any fears Jackson may have had in that moment‚ he didn’t allow them to get in the way of taking action — something that was no easy task‚ in part‚ because of the height difference between the teen and the man. “He was a taller man so‚ when he stood up‚ I really couldn’t see that much‚” he said. “So I just got behind him‚ I put my hands around him‚ and started doing the Heimlich maneuver.” YouTube As someone who had never done the Heimlich maneuver on a person before‚ Jackson credits what he was taught in the 9th grade. That and the knowledge he’s gained from watching “a lot of 911 shows on Hulu.” “I don’t know how to explain it‚” Jackson added. “I just reacted.” And‚ in doing so‚ a life was saved. Truly‚ such an incredible feat for anyone‚ but especially for someone so young! You can find the source of this story’s featured image here!

There is a big push to adopt rescue dogs‚ and that paid off big for one couple. The Dalbo Dog account on X (Twitter) posted a fantastic story about two people‚ a rescue dog turned hero‚ and an unsuccessful intruder. The story begins‚ “Our adopted mutt protected us from an intruder last night‚ is having minor surgery today.” The couple was in bed. They heard a window shatter. Before they could react‚ their rescue dog jumped from the bed and through the broken window. The intruder made a wise choice and ran‚ with the dog in hot pursuit. The couple believes that the intruder was able to escape by jumping over the fence to exit their yard. The dog returned to the house‚ but was injured. Image from Pexels. The couple noticed their dog bleeding from a severe gash on the back of his leg. They spent the remainder of the night changing dressings and trying to control the bleeding. They knew their dog needed stitches. Living several hours from the nearest emergency vet‚ they kept their pet calm and waited until the local vet office opened. His bandaged leg is shown below. He sure is calm for a rescue dog hero! Image from X (Twitter). After arriving at the local vet‚ the dog would need sedation to get stitches in his leg. The post finished with‚ “He was just a shelter dog‚ and we don’t even know what kind of dog he is‚ but he’s our best friend and protector. Adopt a dog‚ he might save your life!” Wishing Only The Best For This Rescue Dog Hero We were unable to find any follow-up information for this post. We hope that the minor surgical procedure went off successfully. The dog will undoubtedly have to wear a cone of shame for a day or two‚ but he should feel no shame for being a hero!

When this resident adopted a new puppy‚ they were kind enough to leave a note for their neighbors. What they wrote inside was so sweet‚ the recipient couldn’t help but share the text on social media! It seems that the new puppy was suffering from anxiety while her owner was at work‚ and the pet parent was concerned that her crying would upset the neighbors. After explaining the situation‚ the owner even offered to come up with another solution if the noise got too out of hand. “If you are a night shift worker or have a young baby/child that requires naps‚ please leave me a note letting me know so I can work around your sleeping hours‚” the note read. “Again I apologize for any annoyance or inconvenience this may bring you over the next couple of weeks‚ and appreciate your patience during this time.” Screengrab from @morishikokuken/TikTok Luckily‚ this thoughtful pet owner’s next-door neighbors happened to have a dog‚ named Mori‚ as well. They were touched by the note regarding the new puppy’s anxiety! “Of course we don’t mind at all‚” they wrote in their video. “Mori loves puppies. Hopefully we can have a play date some time soon.” Screengrab from @morishikokuken/TikTok Watch the neighbor’s video response here! You can find the source of this story’s featured image here.

Geoffrey Holt was a “nobody” in the public eye. An octogenarian employed as a caretaker at a mobile home park in Hinsdale‚ New Hampshire. His days were spent taking care of the grounds around the park. He often went around town on a lawn tractor‚ having long since given up his car. After toiling in a grain mill‚ the former production manager went on to teach driver’s ed. After retiring‚ he worked at various odd jobs in his later years. When he passed earlier this year‚ the unknown millionaire donated his entire fortune to the town he loved. Image from YouTube. Wearing threadbare clothes‚ he was seen around town as a curious old man. He collected model cars and trains but lacked many standard furnishings or other material possessions. But Mr. Holt did have two things. He had a BIG secret and an even bigger heart. Geoffrey passed away in early 2023. In a move that would stun the tiny town with a population of 4‚200‚ he left all his worldly goods to the people of Hinsdale. This is where the BIG secret comes into play. With his frugal lifestyle‚ no one would have guessed that Geoffrey had a portfolio worth a whopping $3.8 million! Geoffrey amassed the fortune from investments in communications mutual funds dating back to before cell phones were in everyone’s pocket. The millionaire donated his fortune to the residents of Hinsdale‚ but there are a few stipulations. How The Money Will Affect This Small Community The money will enrich health‚ education‚ recreation‚ and overall culture. Community leaders vowed to utilize the windfall as “frugally as Mr. Holt did.” There are no concrete plans in place yet. Community members have suggested upgrading the town hall clock‚ setting up a driver’s education course‚ or investing in a ballot tabulating machine (Geoffrey always made sure to vote). Right now‚ drawing on the interest of approximately $150‚000 per year‚ the New Hampshire Charitable Foundation will operate a trust. Organizations can apply for grants to support projects around the community. This unassuming man with a big heart will be a fond remembrance as the millionaire who donated his fortune to a community he loved. You can find the source of this story’s featured image here.
