One dog mom on social media has the cutest theory about why her deaf pooch loves watching sports on television. Now, she also has some video evidence to back it up! Sara caught the most adorable footage of her pup, Dory, staring at the screen during a football game. However, it was the canine’s reaction to the referee that specifically caught Mom’s attention. You see, Sara had recently noticed that Dory sometimes responded to the hand signals she saw on television as though they were sign language. Whenever the referee came on during a sports game, it almost seemed like the deaf dog was watching out for commands! Once she caught this hilarious behavior on camera, Mom was certain that her pooch believed she was receiving messages through the screen. View this post on Instagram A post shared by Sara (@saraaaandipity) In the video, Dory was watching the football game with intense focus, her face inches away from the television. However, when the referee appeared, the pooch did something strange — she went to her bed to lie down. Why? Because the man on screen was pointing in that direction, so that’s what she thought he was telling her to do! “Dory is deaf and I suspected recently that she was paying attention to the referee’s hand signals as well but now I have actual proof of it on video,” Sara wrote in her caption. “After she saw the hand signal she walked over to lay down on her bed. We love her so much!” Screengrab from Instagram This adorable clip has received over two million views. Some commenters pointed out that the deaf dog didn’t look happy about being “asked” to go away by the referee! “She looked so disappointed,” wrote one user. “‘Why do I have to leave?'” Another added, “C’mon ref she wanted to finish the game that was precious.” We hope poor Dory didn’t take it too personally!

Sometimes, animals do strange things. Dog owner KimmyJslice10315 on TikTok says her dog seems enamored of the water heater. The dog runs right to the water tank whenever she offers to let her into the basement. Then, she seems content to stare at it raptly while wagging her tail. @kimmyjslice10315 Best part of her day , seeing the hot water tank. Please excuse the rennovation areas. ♬ original sound – KimmyJslice10315 As surprising as this may sound, this dog is not alone in his pursuit of warm companionship. According to the folks at Wagl, dogs often seek out water tanks because they generate heat. Although that doesn’t account for the rapt stare, it does explain the allure. The same video was discussed on Reddit, and users had several suggestions. Rivertpostie and BashfullyBi played a bit of one-upmanship while touting their ghosthunting credentials. They both agree that the dog is fascinated because the water tank is haunted. User theincredibleharsh added that the dog is a certified good boi. Image from Reddit. Other commenters on TikTok and Reddit also expressed concern that the dog was sensing a problem with the water tank. They urged the OP to have the unit checked for a possible gas or carbon monoxide leak. This seems unlikely because her dog is staring lovingly at the water tank. If there were a problem, the watchful pup would probably alert differently. However, it is worth inspecting the unit to rule out that possibility. The homeowner has shared several videos of the dog’s reaction to the water tank. In each, the happy pup runs to see her “friend,” wags and stares, but otherwise acts perfectly normal. They may eventually figure out what is attracting the dog. Until then, we can continue to laugh at this silly love affair. Please share if you think the water heater has a ghost.

Earlier this week, I wrote a column exposing the cancer metastasizing within America’s body politic — a malignancy created and nurtured by the progressive project over the last century. I focused on how this cancer had infected the “eyes and ears” of our nation: the media. From Big Tech suppressing dissent to mass media corrupting public discourse, the disease has eaten away at our ability to pursue the common good through civil disagreement and the free flow of information.But this cancer has deeper roots, spreading into the very organs meant to protect and nourish our republic: our immune system.The 2024 election isn’t just a mandate. It’s a diagnosis.The Department of Health and Human Services, specifically the National Institutes of Health, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, and the Food and Drug Administration, once acted as the body’s natural defenses. Today, the agencies resemble a compromised immune system — infested with power-hungry elites and corrupted by self-interest.This failure was laid bare during the COVID-19 pandemic, which shredded the last vestiges of trust Americans had in their government. At the center of this catastrophe stood Dr. Anthony Fauci, the epitome of progressive rot — a man who turned his government post into an untouchable kingdom.The Fauci empireFauci’s career should serve as a cautionary tale. As the head of the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases, he wielded unparalleled influence, setting pandemic policies that devastated lives and businesses. Behind the scenes, his agency funded gain-of-function research at the Wuhan Institute of Virology — the likely source of the COVID-19 outbreak.Even when confronted with this inconvenient truth, Fauci sidestepped accountability. In 2021, Senator Rand Paul (R-Ky.) exposed his agency’s involvement in funding this dangerous research. Months later, an NIH official confirmed it. Yet Fauci remains unscathed, unaccountable, and celebrated by the elites.When retiring in 2022, Fauci boasted the highest salary of any federal employee — over $400,000 annually. His golden parachute includes a taxpayer-funded security detail at a cost of $15 million and, as revealed by watchdog group Open the Books, hidden royalties from pharmaceutical companies. These revelations paint a damning picture of a man — and a system — that enriches itself at the expense of the American people.The deification of bureaucracyWhen Fauci infamously claimed, “If you’re attacking me, you’re attacking science,” he wasn’t just defending his actions; he was embodying the progressive vision of government: a pantheon of unelected “experts” ruling unchallenged over the masses. Agencies like the NIH, CDC, and FDA, once meant to serve the public, now tower over us like Greek temples, demanding faith while suppressing dissent.This progressive model — centralized control under the guise of expertise — is the cancer undermining our republic. It prioritizes bureaucratic power over individual freedom and accountability. Trump’s election represents a rejection of this model. But a rebellion is meaningless without action.Trump’s window of opportunityThe 2024 election isn’t just a mandate. It’s a diagnosis. Americans are demanding bold action to excise the rot. The federal health bureaucracy must be among Trump’s top priorities. His administration must:Audit the agencies: Investigate the NIH, CDC, and FDA for abuses of power and conflicts of interest.Pursue accountability: Hold figures like Fauci accountable for misleading Congress and the American people.Decentralize power: Transfer authority from federal agencies back to state and local governments.End corporate cronyism: Shine a light on the relationship between Big Pharma and federal agencies.This is the next step in America’s surgery — a treatment that targets not just the tumor but the system enabling its growth.We can no longer allow unelected officials to wield unchecked power. Agencies like the NIH, CDC, and FDA must return to their rightful role: serving the people, not ruling over them. Trump’s presidency offers a rare opportunity to reclaim government of the people, by the people, and for the people.The cancer is deep, but it’s not untreatable. It will take bold leadership in the Trump administration and the courage to challenge the progressive elites who have corrupted our system.Want more from Glenn Beck?

In the pantheon of ‘games we would all like but we might never get,’ Bully 2 is up there now with Half-Life 3, Sleeping Dogs 2, and a new Titanfall. Originally released back in 2006, Bully takes the fundamental GTA formula and ages it down. Instead of a hardened career criminal, you’re tearaway schoolboy Jimmy Hopkins. Rather than robbing banks, you’re dropping cherry bombs in the faculty toilet. Funny, feisty, and with a great soundtrack by Shawn Lee, with Rockstar now focused on Grand Theft Auto 6, Bully’s return seems less likely than ever. But it hasn’t been forgotten completely. An updated version of GTA 5 is coming to PC, and it seems Rockstar may be preparing something Bully related at the same time.
