A Great Thanksgiving Story


FOX ran this story.  I know it’s not political, but it’s a touching story, as a celebrity/sports star did a truly remarkable thing for a family he doesn’t even know.

Basketball star Shaquille O’Neal paid for the funeral of a 5-year-old North Carolina girl because he was moved by the tragic story of her kidnapping and murder.

We’ve all head in the news about Shaniya Davis, a five year old that was kidnapped and murdered in North Carolina.  Her own mother and another detestable human being are charged in the crime.  It’s a truly sad story, but the fact that a celebrity like Shaq can pony up and pay for this little angel’s funeral is a great story for Thanksgiving.

I’m no fan of Shaq on the basketball court, but he’s definitely got my respect and support as a human being.

Happy Thanksgiving to you all.

Human beings

are capable of acts of unlimited compassion. JUST DO IT, especially when you know that is the absolute right, descent , and honorable thing to do.
Watch for big government to charge this family a DEATH TAX, for receiving this gift from another human being.
A strong Hat Tip to MR. O’NEILL.

Conversly, if this had been done while he had his “celebrity” hat on, there would be a bit of rancor.

If you can read this, thank a teacher. If you can still read it in English, You’re Welcome
