Insurance protects what matters most… especially when life comes at you fast. 😅
Health, auto, home, or life coverage keeps one “oops” from costing big $$. 💰
Plan for peace of mind.

7: “Round here, between Normandie and Western…”
Friday wasn’t about Deebo—it was about neighbors who struggled, laughed, and still looked out. That’s America at its best. We can’t control DC, but we can support each other. If the lights go out, it’s on us to keep the block lit.

6: Stand up to the bully
Deebo ruled through fear, not respect. Bullies don’t need to be smart or right—just loud and unchallenged. That’s Trump’s whole play. But Friday reminds us: once you stand up, the bully ain’t hard to beat. Congress still hasn’t learned that lesson.

5: Pops’ kind of wisdom
When things went too far, Craig reached for a gun until Pops stopped him: “You win some, you lose some. But you live to fight another day.” Real strength is restraint and purpose. DC needs more Pops and fewer Deebos—less performance, more principle.

4: “Playing with my money is like playing with my emotions.”
We’re tired of performative politics. Tired of teachers, TSA workers, and small businesses taking hits while politicians bark and posture. Governing isn’t pay-per-view. Regular people can’t afford this BS.

3: “My grandmama gave me that chain!”
When Deebo snatched Red’s chain, it wasn’t about jewelry—it was inheritance. Our grandparents passed down justice, voting rights, and dignity. Trump treats those the way Deebo treated that chain: something to grab, twist, or pawn for power.

2: “You ain’t got no job… and you ain’t got sh** to do!”
Smokey’s line hits different when Congress didn’t go to work for 54 days. No urgency, no plan—just cameras and chaos. Washington is failing because too many folks (read: MAGA) refuse to clock in and do the damn job.

1: “How the hell you get fired on your day off?”
Craig got fired on his day off—hilarious in a movie, devastating in real life. Thousands of federal workers just lived that plot. Critical services stalled. Families scrambling for rent, groceries, childcare. The joke ain't funny.
