Thanks to one man's intuition, here's a bit of happy news for your Wednesday morning . On Monday afternoon, two teenage girls went out on a paddleboard off of Cedar Key, FL and were blown off course by winds. They did not return and a frantic search ensued. This area of the coast is full of coves and bays and oyster bars. It's jagged and rocky and bordered by swamps and would be difficult to search.
Three men were planning to go out fishing Tuesday morning, but when they heard about the missing girls they decided instead to help search. One of them had a strong hunch they should go to a place called Turtle Bay. They did, and found the girls within half an hour, stranded on an oyster bar at Turtle Bay. This place was 14 miles from the girls' starting point. The girls were suffering from mild hypothermia but otherwise OK.

Here is some fantastic news which is not really being covered much by the press!
A BIG win for teachers, students and education and DEI!
Remember that big DEI court challenge filed by the American Federation of Teachers against the Department of Education for canceling everything DEI in schools and colleges? Well in a very UNUSUAL turn of events, the Trump administration is dropping its appeal of a federal court ruling from August that blocked the administrations campaign against diversity, equity, and inclusion which threatened federal funding to the nation’s schools and colleges.
Back in August, U.S. District Judge Stephanie Gallagher in Maryland ruled that the guidance stifled teachers’ free speech, “causing millions of educators to reasonably fear that their lawful, and even beneficial, speech might cause them or their schools to be punished.”
I am so happy for this win for teachers and students across our nation. I'm very interested to see what changes might now arise in for our educational institutions.
There are cracks forming, the light is getting through.
I've said it before and will say it again: "Resistance is NOT futile!"
