'The New York Times doesn't get it'

'Egregious examples'

They came across a shelter kitten who looked constantly "in shock" and couldn't leave without him. FlabbergastHaleyEmilie Rackovan and Haley from Thrifted Kittens Animal Rescue flew to Pasco County Animal Services to volunteer when there was an influx of animals that needed help.During their stay there, they did everything they could to assist the exhausted staff. While caring for kittens, Emilie came across a tiny tabby with a degloved jaw that had mostly healed. Found alone and hypothermic, the kitten displayed remarkable resilience."We named him 'Flabbergast' because he looked to be in a constant state of shock," Emilie shared. HaleyThe kitten, desperately in need of rescue and medical attention, tugged at Emilie and Haley's heartstrings; they couldn't bear to leave him behind. "I decided to take him back with me. Thankfully, everyone immediately loved him even though he screamed all the way through airport security."Along with another cat named Socks from the shelter, they made their way back to the rescue. HaleyFlabbergast's eyes lit up at the sight of food, and he raced towards it like his life depended on it. He chomped vigorously, even sitting inside the bowl as if it would help him devour the food faster."He has a huge appetite and is always yelling for more food. He is feisty and playful, and watch out for your toes," Haley shared. HaleyWith a cozy home and boundless food, Flabbergast drifted into a food coma after every meal.He quickly started to fill out, and his energy levels soared. Constantly on the move, he zipped around like he owned the place—nothing could slow him down. Once he was big enough, he would undergo surgery to fix his jaw. Haley"Despite everything, he is a goofy little guy who loves to act tough and play with his foster brother, Socks. He is teeny tiny but very confident."Socks towered over the kitten and tried to teach him how to play appropriately, but Flabbergast acted as if they were equal in size, pouncing and wrestling with all his might. After tiring himself out from all the roughhousing, he'd put himself to bed each night. Flabbergast and SocksEmilieFlabbergast was tiny but had the spirit and appetite of a tiger. He was unabashed about using his voice to get what he wanted. Bold and adventurous, he would jump from any height as if gravity didn't apply to him."Our amazing veterinary team immediately got to work fixing his jaw, which was not easy given how small he was." Thrifted Kittens Animal RescueThe recovery was challenging, especially with Flabbergast's unbridled energy and endless urge to play. Even when he was wearing a cone, he was determined to leap incredible distances that other kittens his age would hesitate to attempt.He continued to sit in his food while eating, making a mess an inevitable part of every meal. He had surgery to fix his jawEmilieFlabbergast would climb onto his foster mom's shoulders and then slide down her chest like he was tumbling down a hill. Every day, he seemed to struggle with gravity, rolling clumsily wherever he went.It was quite the task, keeping him calm and clean. He's constantly rolling and tumblingHaley"The recovery was tough, but six weeks later, you'd never know anything was ever wrong."At the sound of his foster mom's voice, he comes running and climbs onto her shoulders within seconds. He loves leaning against her, purring softly and occasionally showing his feisty side. HaleyThe little bundle of energy has blossomed into a vivacious shoulder cat with a big personality.Flabbergast appears less "flabbergasted" now. Thanks to his rescuers, he's thriving in foster care and savoring each day to the fullest. Thrifted Kittens Animal RescueShare this story with your friends.

San Francisco Struggles to Keep One Thief Behind Bars

Justice is the cornerstone of any thriving society. Without it, civilizations crumble under the weight of corruption, inequality, and mistrust. America’s survival depends on the integrity of its justice system — but today, that system is buckling under the strain of double standards.You’ve heard the mantra: “No one is above the law.” Democrats repeat it endlessly when targeting Donald Trump. Yet, when Joe Biden pardoned his son Hunter, that mantra was exposed as a lie.The Hunter Biden pardon is more than a legal matter — it’s a profound betrayal of American principles.Hunter’s pardon isn’t just another political controversy; it’s a dagger to the heart of justice in America.Two standards of justiceConsider the accusations leveled against Donald Trump. A supposed quid pro quo with Ukraine was painted as treasonous. The infamous “perfect phone call” became the subject of an impeachment trial. Even the discredited Russian collusion narrative consumed years of investigations. In each case, we were told Trump’s actions threatened the very fabric of democracy.In the end, what did we find? A web of lies — there was no collusion; there was no crime. Despite this, Trump’s name remains synonymous with corruption in the minds of millions.Compare the Democrats’ treatment of Trump to that of Hunter Biden. Evidence points to millions of dollars flowing into Biden family accounts from hostile foreign nations. Hunter himself admitted to tax fraud, violating laws that protect America’s sovereignty. Even more damning, some of this money came from adversaries like China — countries actively working against our national interests. We used to call laundering money from enemies of the state “treason.” Does that apply to Hunter Biden?Instead of facing justice, Hunter Biden received a get-out-of-jail-free card from his father.A pardon that shatters trustThe Hunter Biden pardon is more than a legal matter — it’s a profound betrayal of American principles. Justice demands accountability, yet the president used his power to shield his son from it.Imagine if the situation were reversed. If Donald Trump had pardoned one of his children under similar circumstances, would the media remain silent? Would political leaders shrug it off as “compassionate”?Of course not — the outrage would be deafening, and rightly so. The blatant abuse of power would be called out for what it is: corruption.The Hunter Biden pardon sets a dangerous precedent. It tells the American people that justice isn’t blind — it sees everything, including your political connections. If you’re powerful enough, the law becomes irrelevant.The people who pay the priceWhile Hunter Biden escapes accountability, ordinary Americans are crushed under the weight of an ever-growing “lawfare” system.Think of Daniel Penny, the Marine veteran facing manslaughter charges for stopping a violent threat on a New York subway. Penny acted to protect others, yet he may go to prison for it.Think of the grandmothers charged for “parading” at the Capitol on January 6, or the pro-life activists arrested for praying outside abortion clinics.These people didn’t have powerful parents or political allies. They didn’t have access to the legal privileges reserved for the elite.Hunter Biden broke serious laws — laws designed to protect our nation from foreign influence. Yet instead of prison, he received a pardon. What message does that send to the millions of Americans trying to do the right thing?A nation at a crossroadsAmerica’s justice system is failing. When the powerful evade accountability while the average citizen is crushed under an expanding web of laws, society begins to collapse.The Hunter Biden pardon is more than a personal matter; it’s a public crisis. It undermines trust in the justice system and deepens the divide between the powerful and the powerless.America must choose: Will we uphold justice and rebuild trust, or will we let corruption and inequality drive us to ruin?If justice isn’t for everyone, it isn’t justice at all. And without justice, America cannot survive.Want more from Glenn Beck? Get Glenn's FREE email newsletter with his latest insights, top stories, show prep, and more delivered to your inbox.
