A couple in Alabama helped save children from a murder suspect who shot and killed their mother.
The couple, who wanted to remain anonymous, told WBRC they were traveling along Huffman Road in Birmingham Tuesday when they noticed a little girl looking distressed and calling for help…
Officials say before law enforcement arrived, the husband and wife said they tried to console the victim’s daughter and son. The wife said the alleged killer, Peavy, returned to the scene, and she says he acted as though nothing ever happened.
“[The little girl] said ‘You killed my mama,’” adds the woman. “‘You killed my mama. I saw you kill my mama.’ The little girl said, ‘Please don’t let him kill me.’ I said baby, ‘Don’t worry about it. I’ll take a bullet today, but I won’t let him hurt you. You’re safe now.’”
She says she couldn’t understand why the suspect came back, but she and her husband weren’t going to let him leave.
“He tried to get in the car to leave, and my husband told him ‘No sir, you’re not going anywhere. You only have two choices, and that’s jail or hell.’ He held him at gunpoint until the police got there.”…

"Early in this administration, high-ranking Israeli officials and influential members of the American media deployed a misinformation campaign that wholly undermined your America First platform and sowed pro-war sentiments to encourage a war with Iran. This echo chamber was used to deceive you into believing that Iran posed an imminent threat to the United States, and that should you strike now, there was a clear path to a swift victory. This was a lie and is the same tactic the Israelis used to draw us into the disastrous Iraq war that cost our nation the lives of thousands of our best men and women.

If we internalize that story, we should not be surprised when faith, family, and inheritance continue to fracture."
