Peter Mutabazi grew up in Uganda and had a difficult childhood. As an adult, he felt compelled to help other children. Nearly a decade ago, Peter felt called to become a foster parent. He’s fostered 47 children and has adopted three. “Once you journey into foster care, it’s hard to go home and say life is going to be okay knowing there are so many children that are looking for a safe and loving home,” he told WXII. Peter Mutabazi explained that his heart is open and so is his home. “For me, I am willing to take in any child so long as I have an extra room or the county allows me to take extra, I will truly love to take as many as I can,” he added. “My job is to make sure children have a safe home, but also they can go back home, and if they cannot go back home, I want to be their final home.” View this post on Instagram A post shared by Peter Mutabazi l Foster and Adoptive Dad (@fosterdadflipper) Peter Mutubazi Felt Compelled to Care for Tony According to a story shared by Pubity, Peter Mutubazi’s son, Tony, was abandoned at a jhopstial by adopted family at age 11.

Amen, sir!!” A follower commented. “Thank God for stories like yours Peter! We need to be reminded that there is still so much good in the world!” Another person agreed. “I am an African and I truly believe it takes a village to raise a child. What you’re doing, sharing our story, that is part of our village,” Peter Mutabazi told WXII. This story’s featured image can be found here

Rouble Nagi had long wanted to help educate the less fortunate in India. She traveled to poverty-stricken areas. She created The Rouble Nagi Art Foundation, which provides education to those who may otherwise go without it. In a little more than two decades, her passion grew to encompass 800 learning centers and murals that teach literacy, educating approximately 1 million children. The World Governments Summit recognized this incredible accomplishment and awarded Rouble Nagi the $1 million Global Teacher Prize, Euronews reported. View this post on Instagram A post shared by The Better India (@thebetterindia) Rouble Nagi Feels Very Proud of Her Accomplishment It’s taken a long time to build a successful network, and she’s extremely proud of what she’s done. “If I had enough words to explain what I’m feeling right now. I think I’m short of words. I’m humbled beyond words. So much to be thankful for,” she told Euronews. “This is for my country, India. I’m just so overwhelmed right now, thank you so much.” Rouble said that one of the most important parts of her mission is using art in education. Creativity allows educators to explore learning with students in a way that everyone can understand. It’s not about learning letters, numbers, or ideas; it’s about expressing what’s inside. “I’ve always believed, and I always say that art is one medium that helps you connect to people very easily,” she said. “It breaks the barriers between you and children, between you and people living in villages, slums, cities, anywhere.” Rouble Nagi intends to use the prize money to make a dream come true. “For the last few years, we have been wanting to do a school, a learning centre, a skill center, a computer lab in Kashmir,” she said. “I guess that dream would come true now.” This story’s featured image can be found here

The Anti-Communist Film Festival’s New Sponsor

On Wednesday, the media’s favorite presidential historian, Jon Meacham, joined Walter Isaacson on PBS’s Amanpour and Company to resurrect his allegation that the Trump administration is “failing” the soldiers who served at places like Omaha Beach and Gettysburg as well as the men and women of the nation’s various civil rights movements. Isaacson put the ball on the tee when he declared, “And in both those books, you talk about history now in a polarized era being a battlefield itself, a source of contention. We even see it with the administration taking some of the plaques down on the old Philadelphia house where General Washington lived that talk about slavery. Tell us about history as a matter of contention now.”   Jon Meacham went on PBS on Wednesday to resurrect his Trump vs. spirit of Omaha Beach antics, "by attempting to control historical narratives by pushing aside the uncomfortable elements of our history to make it more heroic, you're failing, it seems to me, to keep faith with the… pic.twitter.com/zhBemisqbY — Alex Christy (@alexchristy17) February 21, 2026   It should be noted that the plaques are back after a federal judge issued a bizarre ruling ordering the Interior Department to return them. The Interior Department, for its part, lamented that “updated interpretive materials providing a fuller account of the history of slavery at Independence Hall would have been installed in the coming days” if the judge hadn’t gotten in the way. As it was, Meacham began, “Well, the mechanics of memory matter. I'm sitting here arguing that an understanding of the story of liberal democracy from the late 18th century through the freedom movements of the 20th century is an empowering, elevating narrative. There are those who would like to argue that that history is different, that there were—that are alternative narratives like alternative facts—a term from the first term—that is more valuable.” After denouncing the White House’s Presidential Walk of Fame, Meacham continued, “So, it's not about us, it's not about we the people, it's about him. And by controlling, by attempting to control historical narratives by pushing aside the uncomfortable elements of our history to make it more heroic, you're failing, it seems to me, to keep faith with the people who fought and bled and died for the country.” Those people include, “The men who hit Omaha Beach, the soldiers at Gettysburg, the folks on the Pettus Bridge, the women at Seneca Falls, the women who were force-fed in the suffrage movement, they were confronting wrong and urging us to make it right. If we remove the wrongs from our narrative, then we are failing to honor the work they did and failing to find inspiration for our own era.” It’s ironic. Previously when Meacham had invoked this list, including Gettysburg, the number one news story in the country was Minnesota liberals thinking federal law doesn’t apply to them. Meacham can try to wax poetic all he wants, but he does not own the legacy of the men and women he mentioned. Here is a transcript for the February 18 show: PBS Amanpour and Company 2/18/2026 WALTER ISAACSON: And in both those books, you talk about history now in a polarized era being a battlefield itself, a source of contention. We even see it with the administration taking some of the plaques down on the old Philadelphia house where General Washington lived that talk about slavery. Tell us about history as a matter of contention now. JON MEACHAM: Well, the mechanics of memory matter. I'm sitting here arguing that an understanding of the story of liberal democracy from the late 18th century through the freedom movements of the 20th century is an empowering, elevating narrative. There are those who would like to argue that that history is different, that there were—that are alternative narratives like alternative facts—a term from the first term—that is more valuable. And you're also seeing with the plaques that President Trump put up in the White House, this kind of, again, kingly, kind of autocratic history, a narcissistic history. If you read the plaques that are now up in the colonnade of the West Wing, it's all about every other American president and their relationship to President Trump, right? So, it's not about us, it's not about we the people, it's about him. And by controlling, by attempting to control historical narratives by pushing aside the uncomfortable elements of our history to make it more heroic, you're failing, it seems to me, to keep faith with the people who fought and bled and died for the country. The men who hit Omaha Beach, the soldiers at Gettysburg, the folks on the Pettus Bridge, the women at Seneca Falls, the women who were force-fed in the suffrage movement, they were confronting wrong and urging us to make it right. If we remove the wrongs from our narrative, then we are failing to honor the work they did and failing to find inspiration for our own era.

In less than two weeks, two deadly shootings — both allegedly by transgender-identifying biological males. One was a school rampage in Tumbler Ridge, British Columbia, that killed eight people, and the other a targeted family attack during a youth hockey game in Pawtucket, Rhode Island, where two of the alleged shooter’s family members were left dead.BlazeTV host Stu Burguiere wonders if we’re dealing with a “trans shooter epidemic.”“We’ve done this story ... over and over and over and over and over and over and over again,” he says.It’s usually one of two scenarios, he says: “You have some person who's a crazy sort of leftist that winds up getting into the trans ideology world” and becomes “very defensive of it to a violent extent, like we saw with the Charlie Kirk situation," or “you have a situation where the person is just a crazy leftist and starts going out and killing people because of their mass confusion in their life.”But what’s the root cause of this kind of violence?On this episode of “Stu Does America,” Stu dives into a study that might provide some insight into that question. “Obviously, all [transgender-identifying] people are not murdering others. We do, though, see a disproportionate amount of people who are involved in this ideology … that are involved in violent acts,” he says, citing trans-identifying biological female Audrey Hale, who killed six children and three adults at an elementary school in Nashville in March 2023, and Tyler Robinson, the alleged assassin of Charlie Kirk, who was romantically involved with a transgender-identifying male.Stu wonders why of all the “fancy letters” in the LGBTQIA2+ alphabet, it is transgender-identifying individuals who seem more prone to violence.The answer may lie, at least partially, in how different sexual identities answer the question: “Is disagreement violence?”Stu cites a study from PsychFORM, which examined how transgender-identifying respondents answered that question compared to gay-identifying respondents.“About 15% to 18% of gay people say, ‘Yeah, you know, any disagreement, I see as violence.’ ... The number for trans people is 100%. 100% of trans people in this poll said that disagreement equals violence,” Stu exclaims.The study also tested another question: “Is reasoned disagreement permissible?”According to the chart, roughly 18% of gay-identifying respondents answered no, compared to over 90% of trans-identifying respondents.“If you're looking for an explanation to understand what's going on in that realm when it comes to violence and trans people, look no farther than that chart,” says Stu.Want more from Stu?To enjoy more of Stu's lethal wit, wisdom, and mockery, subscribe to BlazeTV — the largest multi-platform network of voices who love America, defend the Constitution, and live the American dream.

Rural health care in America faces a host of chronic challenges: high costs, limited access, and aging infrastructure. For millions of families across the heartland, these problems aren’t abstract — they determine whether patients can see a doctor, reach a hospital, or receive timely care close to home.By expanding flexibility, encouraging innovation, and meeting rural communities where they are, policymakers have begun to confront the unique realities of rural health care.More than 60 million Americans — nearly one in five — live in rural areas where patients routinely travel long distances only to find fewer doctors, hospitals, and clinics available to serve them.Under-resourced communities face over-sized health challenges. Nowhere is this more evident than in rural America, where higher rates of chronic disease, premature mortality, and addiction persist compared to the rest of the country.In recent months, the Trump administration and Congress have advanced a set of reforms — largely overlooked in the national debate — that directly address long-standing disparities and structural weaknesses in rural health care, and they could meaningfully strengthen care delivery in these communities, improve health, and save lives.The most significant of these efforts is the Rural Health Transformation Program, established last year in President Trump and the Republican Congress’ signature One Big Beautiful Bill Act. This $50 billion program represents the largest investment ever dedicated specifically to rural health, far exceeding the scale of prior grant programs. States that receive awards can use these resources to modernize and stabilize their rural health systems.The program allows states to invest in innovative care models tailored to rural realities — whether expanding outpatient capacity, strengthening the health care workforce, or upgrading aging facilities. Instead of imposing a one-size-fits-all approach, the program gives states the flexibility to design reforms that reflect local needs and constraints.Although media attention has shifted elsewhere, the White House and congressional leaders should continue to emphasize the long-term importance of this investment. The program addresses a foundational weakness in America’s health system and delivers tangible support to rural communities that have too often been left behind.As part of the recently enacted FY 2026 appropriations legislation, Congress also extended Medicare telehealth flexibilities through December 31, 2027, delaying a return to statutory barriers that once limited access to telehealth services. Telehealth allows patients to connect with specialists, receive mental health services, and manage chronic diseases without traveling hours for an appointment.In communities facing persistent provider shortages, telehealth has become not a convenience but a lifeline — a bridge over miles of empty road, connecting rural patients to care that would otherwise remain out of reach.The FY 2026 appropriations legislation also reauthorized the Acute Hospital Care at Home initiative, which allows eligible patients to receive hospital-level care in their own homes. This approach reduces costs, eases pressure on rural hospitals with limited capacity, and improves patient satisfaction. For small hospitals struggling to keep beds staffed and doors open, Acute Hospital Care at Home offers a practical way to deliver high-quality care while preserving local access.RELATED: Trump’s economic numbers look good so far, but you wouldn’t know from reading the news Douglas Rissing / Getty ImagesFinally, although Congress has not yet enacted it into law, lawmakers are working to reauthorize the Rural Health Care Services Outreach Program. This program supports community-based efforts to expand access to care, strengthen coordination among providers, and address persistent service gaps. Its grants help rural health systems collaborate across institutions and tailor solutions for populations that too often fall through the cracks.Taken together, these reforms do not promise a quick cure — but they do offer a realistic treatment plan. They don’t strengthen rural health care because it’s easy; they make it easier because rural health care must be strong. While these efforts will not eliminate every challenge rural communities face, they are designed to deliver tangible improvements that deserve recognition.By expanding flexibility, encouraging innovation, and meeting rural communities where they are, policymakers have begun to confront the unique realities of rural health care. Yet as the news cycle moves on, these achievements risk being overlooked. Policymakers in both Congress and the executive branch should resist the urge to rush to the next challenge and instead highlight the significance of these steps in the right direction.Editor’s note: This article was originally published by RealClearHealth and made available via RealClearWire.
