    The City of Brotherly Love hosted its second Super Bowl victory parade Friday. 

    A huge contingent of Philadelphia Eagles fans gathered along the parade route that stretched down Broad Street, the city’s famous thoroughfare. 

    Eagles players, coaches and executives, gathered atop floats and waved to supporters. Some players, including Saquon Barkley, opted for closer interactions with the fans at certain points of the parade. 

    As Barkley walked along the street, he spotted the team’s ball boy.

    After greeting the ball boy, Barkley used a bear hug to help him get over a barricade and onto the parade route.

    Barkley also helped create another memorable moment during the celebration when he took notice of a sign that said, “Today is my 3rd birthday. Go Birds!”

    Barkley took a moment to take pictures with the young fan as he held her sign. The interaction appeared to leave the 3-year-old’s father in a state of shock. 

    “I couldn’t believe it was happening,” he said, according to The Philadelphia Inquirer.

    Barkley had a memorable first season with the Eagles. After experiencing limited postseason success during his six-year run with the New York Giants, Barkley signed with Philadelphia in the offseason.

  • Thomas Massie says he loves teenage Boy Scout’s policy proposal: Zero tax for workers younger than 18

    Thomas Massie says he loves teenage Boy Scout’s policy proposal: Zero tax for workers younger than 18

    Rep. Thomas Massie, R-Ky., noted that a Boy Scout proposed a policy of not taxing workers younger than age 18.

    The congressman from the Bluegrass State listed several reasons why he loves the idea.

    “A 15 yr old Boy Scout working on his merit badge just sent me this idea: No taxes on workers under 18 yrs old. I love it because: 1. They need experience to pick a college major 2. They need to develop a work ethic 3. The economy needs more workers 4. They don’t get to vote,” Massie wrote in a post on X.

    Someone responded to the lawmaker, suggesting that youths “don’t make enough money for the most part and get it back when they file taxes. It is a good lesson on how to file taxes and gives them a chance to get a return,” the person opined.

    Massie replied, “Sounds like conditioning to be sheeple. Hard pass.”

    Rep. Lauren Boebert, R-Colo., indicated that high minimum wages box young people out of the job market.

    “So many of our youth have lost the opportunity to enter the workforce due to high minimum wage requirements. High taxes, insurance, and paid leave requirements are a few of many issues as well. Small business owners are unable to invest in first-time workers or provide them with skills training for their future,” she tweeted.

    “Great points!” Massie replied.

    He has previously suggested that the U.S. should nix the federal income tax entirely.

    “The federal income tax was unconstitutional for most of our [country’s] existence. The founders of this country would have never agreed to it. We should repeal it,” he tweeted in February 2024.

    Massie has also spoken out against foreign aid.

    “My position of ‘no foreign aid’ might sound extreme to some, but it’s far more extreme to force future generations of Americans into indentured servitude to our foreign creditors,” he noted in a 2023 post.
