From a broken neck, two ruptured patella tendons, and homeless to fighting for my dreams. A long, hard trip that can only be finished by persistence.

Really cool. Trail cams are such a great use of technology.
🚨AMAZING SCENERY FROM POLAND: BISON HERD UNITES TO FIGHT OFF WOLF PACK IN BIAŁOWIEŻA FOREST! 🔥🇵🇱 In the ancient Białowieża Forest — one of Europe’s last primeval forests located in eastern Poland (on the border with Belarus) and a UNESCO World Heritage Site — a dramatic scene unfolded. A pack of 7 wolves attacked a herd of European bison, targeting a newborn calf. Instead of fleeing or abandoning the young, the entire bison herd formed a united front, stood their ground, and successfully drove the wolves away. Poland is home to one of the world’s most important populations of free-roaming European bison (żubr), successfully reintroduced after they were once nearly extinct. Białowieża remains a true wilderness where these majestic animals and wolves still live as they did for centuries.

Cool name. When I went to the shelter for Marty, I wanted to give him a great nickname. He'd been there for almost a year, so I was going to keep Marty, yet I wanted something funny like Wolfie Goldberg or Ozzy Pawsborne, Prince of Barkness. I could only come up with Barky McFly.

🇺🇸 Most Badass Ballplayers: Combat Veteran Edition #1 Hank Bauer Hank Bauer, United States Marine and eight-time World Series champion, was one badass ballplayer. Born July 31, 1922, in East St. Louis, Illinois. One month after Pearl Harbor, he enlisted in the United States Marine Corps. He volunteered for the elite Marine Raiders and was sent to the Pacific Theater. He fought in some of the bloodiest campaigns of the war, including Guadalcanal, Guam, and Okinawa. On Guam, Bauer went ashore on the very first day. He earned his first Bronze Star for demonstrating exceptional valor during intense, close-quarters jungle warfare. He was wounded in the back by enemy shrapnel from an exploding shell. He refused to leave the battlefield. It was his first Purple Heart. Years later, pieces of shrapnel from that wound were still embedded in his back. His Yankees teammates would sometimes pick metal fragments out of him in the clubhouse. The fighting he experienced on Okinawa was even more brutal. Bauer was a platoon sergeant leading 64 Marines. Only six of them survived the battle. On April 15, 1945, under heavy mortar and machine-gun fire, he repeatedly exposed himself to evacuate wounded men. When stretcher bearers were no longer available, he carried casualties himself to the aid station. For that action he earned a second Bronze Star. He was also wounded in the thigh by an artillery shell, tearing a massive hole in his left thigh. He received his second Purple Heart. As he was being carried off, he turned to a buddy and said, “There goes my baseball career.” Throughout his time in the Pacific, Bauer also battled malaria, contracting it twenty-four separate times (that’s not a typo). After the war he returned to baseball. He made the Yankees in 1948 and became a key part of their dynasty, winning seven World Series titles as a player over 14 seasons. He hit safely in a then record 17 straight World Series games. He later managed the Yankees to the 1964 pennant and the Orioles to a World Series championship in 1966. 32 months of combat. 11 campaign ribbons. 2 Bronze Stars, 2 Purple Hearts. 8 World Series Championships. Thank you, Hank! 🫡🇺🇸⚾
🇺🇸 Most Badass Ballplayers: Combat Veteran Edition #2 Ted Williams Ted Williams, widely regarded as the greatest pure hitter who ever lived, was one badass ballplayer. Born August 30, 1918, in San Diego, California. He made his major league debut with the Boston Red Sox in 1939 and quickly became one of the most feared hitters in baseball. In 1941, at just 22 years old, he hit .406, the last time any player has hit over .400 in a season. He followed that up by winning another batting title in 1942. By the end of the 1942 season, Williams was already a superstar and widely considered the best hitter in the game. Then, after the attack on Pearl Harbor, Williams enlisted in the United States Marine Corps and trained as a pilot. He missed the 1943, 1944, and 1945 seasons, three full prime years of his career, while serving stateside during World War II. When he returned in 1946, there were questions about whether he could pick up where he left off. He answered them immediately, winning the American League MVP award in his first season back. Over the next several years he continued to dominate, winning the Triple Crown in 1947 and another batting title in 1948. When the Korean War broke out, Williams was recalled to active duty as a Marine Corps pilot. In 1952 and 1953 he flew 39 combat missions over North Korea in the F9F Panther jet. He often flew as wingman for future astronaut John Glenn. On one mission his plane was hit by the enemy and caught fire. He made a successful belly landing and jumped out and ran off the wingtip to safety. He was hit by enemy fire at least three times during his tour. After Korea, Williams returned to baseball in 1953 and continued one of the most remarkable careers in baseball history. He was inducted into the Baseball Hall of Fame in 1966. Ted Williams, superstar athlete, answered the call for his country twice. Thank you, Ted! 🫡🇺🇸⚾

LASIK isn’t covered by insurance. Neither is most cosmetic surgery. Both got cheaper and better every single year for two decades. The one corner of medicine where patients pay cash and see prices. Funny how the “market failure” vanishes the second the market’s allowed to exist. Friedman called this in 1980. The tape doesn’t lie.

I am truly perplexed that so many people are against mosques being built... I think it should be the goal of every Western Society to be tolerant regardless of their religious beliefs. Thus mosques should be allowed, in an effort to promote tolerance. That is why I also propose that two nightclubs be opened next door to the mosque, thereby promoting tolerance from within the mosque. We could call one of the clubs, which would be gay, "The Turban Cowboy ", and the other a topless bar called "You Mecca Me Hot." Next door should be a butcher shop that specializes in pork, and adjacent to that an open-pit barbecue pork restaurant, called "Iraq o' Ribs." Across the street there could be a lingerie store called "Victoria Keeps Nothing Secret ", with sexy mannequins in the window modeling the goods. Next door to the lingerie shop there would be room for an adult sex toy shop, "Koranal Knowledge ", its name in flashing neon lights, and on the other side an off-licence called "Morehammered." All of this would encourage Muslims to demonstrate the tolerance they demand of us, so their mosque issue would not be a problem for others.

Dear @WhiteHouse, my name is Rodney Smith Jr., founder of Raising Men & Women Lawn Care Service in Huntsville, Alabama. Through our 50 Yard Challenge, over 6,000 kids across the country have signed up to mow free lawns for the elderly, disabled, veterans, active-duty military, first responders, and single parents. With America celebrating its 250th birthday this year and me also being born on July 4th, I wanted to humbly ask if a few kids from our program and myself could travel to Washington, D.C. to help mow the White House lawn for this historic celebration. More than anything, I want these kids to see how a simple act of service something as ordinary as mowing a lawn for someone in need can lead to extraordinary places. What better lesson in community service than showing them that helping others can take them all the way to our nation’s capital? I’d also love to bring my American flag-themed mower in hopes that the President might sign it, so I can later auction it off and donate 100% of the proceeds to a nonprofit supporting veterans. It would be a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to highlight the importance of service, patriotism, and the impact young people can have when they choose to make a difference. 🇺🇸

I love old vehicles. Yet I despise an old truck, that I really don't feel is old because it's a 2001 F-150, that isn't kept in good running order. It took me over 2 effing hours to change both headlights because of lack of care and old parts. Okay, enough BAM BAM (bitch and moan)
