@LeaderJohnThune Senator Thune,
I mean this in earnest:
The American people are angry.
We gave you the majority. We gave Republicans the White House, House, and Senate.
President Trump is doing his job. The House is doing its job. The Senate is failing to act.
If you do not bring the SAVE
Iโve been a mechanic for 30 years. Iโve seen it all. But last Friday, a woman pulled in driving a beat-up 2005 Honda Odyssey. It sounded like a bag of marbles in a blender. She had three kids in the back, all under the age of six. The car was packed with bags. Not grocery bagsโsuitcases.
"It's making a noise," she said, trying to keep her voice steady. "I just need it to get to my sister's in Denver. That's 400 miles." I popped the hood. It wasn't good. Alternator was shot, serpentine belt was hanging by a thread, and the water pump was leaking. Parts and labor? Minimum $800.
I walked back to the waiting room. She was counting change out of a Ziploc bag to buy the kids a soda from the vending machine. She looked terrified. "Ma'am," I said. She jumped. "Is it bad? I have... I have $60."
I looked at her. I looked at the kids. I saw the bruise on her arm she was trying to hide with a long sleeve. I knew that look. She wasn't just visiting her sister. She was escaping. If I told her the truth, sheโd be stranded here.
I took a deep breath. "Well," I said, wiping my greasy hands on a rag. "It's a simple fix. Loose wire. And... uh... there was a recall on these belts. Manufacturer pays for it. You're actually lucky you came in."
Her shoulders dropped about five inches. "Really?" "Yep. 'Standard Warranty Policy.' Takes about two hours. Why don't you take the kids to the diner next door? On me. We have a... coupon."
I spent the next three hours replacing the alternator, the belt, and the pump. I filled the gas tank. I put new wipers on. I paid for the parts out of my own retirement jar.
When she came back, I handed her the keys and a receipt that said $0.00. "You're good to go," I said. She looked at the receipt, then at me. She knew. You don't get a full tank of gas from a loose wire. She grabbed my hand, squeezing it hard. She didn't say thank you. She just whispered, "You just saved my life."
I watched that van limp onto the highway, running smoother than it had in years. My boss walked up behind me. "You didn't charge her, did you? That's coming out of your paycheck, Mike." "Take it," I said, lighting a cigarette. "Best money I ever spent."
Some repairs aren't about cars. They're about giving someone the mileage they need to start over.

I was sitting in the laundromat, waiting on my work uniforms, when a kid came in. Couldn't have been more than 19. He was carrying a heap of clothes in a trash bag. He loaded the washer, but when he went to the coin machine, he realized he was short. He started checking his pockets, pulling out lint, a key, but no quarters. He sat down on the plastic chair and put his head in his hands. He didn't ask anyone for money. He just looked defeated. I walked over. "Machine #4 is acting up," I lied. "It ate my quarters but didn't start. You want to give it a try? Maybe you'll have better luck." Iโd already put $5 worth of quarters in it. He looked at me, confused, then walked over and pressed the button. It roared to life. "Whoa," he smiled. "Thanks, man." We got to talking while the clothes spun. "I have a job interview tomorrow," he told me, pointing to a cheap, wrinkled button-down shirt spinning in the suds. "Warehouse gig. But it pays $18 an hour. If I get this, I can get my mom out of the shelter." My heart sank. A wrinkled shirt for a life-changing interview. I went to my car. I keep my "emergency dry cleaning" in the backโmy good navy blazer and a red tie. When his cycle finished, I handed them to him. "Listen," I said. "I grew out of these. Takes up space in my trunk. Do me a favor and take them?" He touched the fabric like it was made of gold. Today, I went back to the laundromat. There was a note on the bulletin board with a picture of him giving a thumbs up in the warehouse, wearing my blazer. "To the guy at Washer #4: I got the job. My mom says thanks." Best suit I ever lost.
๐จ BREAKING: President Trump just granted a full PARDON to Democrat Congressman Henry Cuellar of Texas, saying Joe Biden ordered a WITCH HUNT against Cuellar for speaking out against open borders
Wow!
TRUMP: โAs I previously stated, the Radical Left Democrats are a complete and total threat to Democracy! They will attack, rob, lie, cheat, destroy, and decimate anyone who dares to oppose their Far Left Agenda, an Agenda that, if left unchecked, will obliterate our magnificent Countryโ
Iโve been rescuing abandoned and abused dogs and cats for years. I currently have 11 rescues. I love them all. I know Iโm not supposed to have a favorite, but I do lol. I rescued Pedro over a decade ago. Heโs getting so old and Iโve always had this special love for him. Heโs my best boy ever.
